Hide and Seek!
Mary scurried along the hallways, determined to find a hiding place before Daddy finished counting. She was beginning to realize that ignoring Daddy's warning about the game being harder without feet, was a pretty bad idea. She had to crawl and use the walls to support her self, she'd already fallen on her face so many times.
She tried running to one of the party rooms in the pizzeria, only to end up losing balance and banging her head against a wall. She held her head as a bit of pain seared through it, she tried to get up but the pain suddenly increased and she fell back down silencing a yelp from her self.
She hated not having any feet, I mean how could she play hide and seek, or tag with her sibling or Daddy, when she couldn't even walk! So far in the game of hide and seek which they were playing, Springtrap was counting and everybody else already had a hiding spot, except her.
'Why can I not walk!?' She asked her self, the idea of just having to watch Daddy and her sibling play while she couldn't, was starting to get unbearable. She felt tears, threatening to leak out. Her breathing became more sporadic as the pot slowly boiled over.
"Lass, ye be alright?" A voice asked and she turned around to see a worried Foxy looking at her, why wasn't he hidden? Did he come out, just to check on her? Great, now she was useless and burden.
More tears threatened to come out of her eyes, despite her protests.
"Ye be upset because ye cannot walk to yer hiding place?" He asked her, she shakily nodded. Foxy had a thoughtful expression on his face before it brightened up as if he had a genius idea. But was that idea?
He approached her and hugged her, the movement taking her off guard. But that wasn't even close to what happened next. Gathering up his strength, he pulled her off the ground as started to walk towards somewhere, with dumbstruck Mary in his arms.
Where was he taking her? She had to wonder as Foxy moved with relative ease around the rooms, Mary's face was a bright shade of red, unlike the times' Daddy carried her, which she just found fun.
She felt embarrassed as Foxy carried her, she didn't know why either. It was just a family member, she shouldn't be embarrassed!
Foxy stopped at the purple, stare patterned, curtains, and pulled them aside with one arm while holding Mary in the other. Mary was just wowed by his strength, what does he do every day that made him this strong!?
He placed Mary down on one end and sat on the other. The two shared silence for a while lost in their own thoughts.
"Ye be alright, lass?" Foxy asked, Mary looked at him, tears were clearly visible in her eyes. Welp, no point hiding it now.
"N-no." She shakily responded, Foxy got up drew her in for a hug, Mary hugged back as if her life depended on it. She wanted to let out, to scream about how unfair her inability to walk was. But then she'd ruin the game, so she'd bottle it in for now.
Foxy looked at the sobbing Puppet in his arms, he wanted to know what was wrong, what made her sad? But he'd wait his turn, probably best to make sure she was calm before he asked any personal questions.
The pair shared silence, One waiting for the other to calm down, and the other waiting for herself to calm down.

"Ready or not, here I come!" He proclaimed as he dashed down the hallways, this reminded him of times where he played hide and seek with his own kids.
He entered party room three and thoroughly observed the room, besides every detail counts.

Chica had to prevent herself from giggling in nervous anticipation, right now Daddy was in the room she was in and if she wasn't quiet, he was going to catch her!
She watched crouched beneath a chair, Daddy's eye lights scanned the room as he searched. As he walked, Chica started to get more nervous. Every step he took was synchronized with her breathing, she let out a very quiet squeal.
Springtrap's head jerked towards her direction, and she let out an even louder squeal. Welp, she's done for. Springtrap approached the chairs and circled them, "Oh Chica~! Where are you~" He called out.
Strange, did he actually think she'd come out? Not a ch-
She felt her sides being grabbed, and next thing you know she was effortlessly pulled out. She was facing Springtrap once second, and the next she was ensnared in a hug.
"Gotcha my sweet little chicken~." Chica tried her best to stay mad about being caught but eventually, she gave in and hugged back.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
'Looks like Chica's caught." Foxy thought, peeking out of the curtains. Surveying the situation with faltering interest, after all, he had other things to worry about.
Mary had calmed down and had thanked Foxy for his kindness. And despite her pleas to find her own hiding place, Foxy was adamant about her staying with him, so she begrudgingly complied. She was currently pouting in a corner.
Foxy sighed as he slumped down, "lass, ye be ready to talk yet?" He asked. Mary groaned, still having her back turned.
"I said I'm fine!" She replied, Foxy didn't like how she was acting. This wasn't the person he met when he woke up, however, he was determined to get that person back, and nothing be stopping this young sailor from that!

Freddy and Goldie had teamed up and so far, the duo had been pretty good at being quiet. The commotion Chica's capture had made got to them, Daddy had been able to find her that fast?!
Goldie was a nervous wreck, while Freddy couldn't care less, he was here to have fun not win!
They heard mechanical footsteps, Springtrap was on the move. Goldie forced her self to calm down, while Freddy seemed more interested in who the next person found would be.
Honestly, the duo was like black and white.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Bonnie kept himself quiet as he hid in the main stage area, seriously Daddy was soooo close to finding him. To make matters even worse, Chica was helping him!
He quietly peeked out of the curtains, Daddy and Chica had there back turned. He breathed a sigh of relief…. Only to take a step, and attract their attention.
Rivaling sound itself, their heads jerked around and Bonnie hid just as fast, but he knew it was over. "Come out Bunny boy~!" Daddy called out.
"Yeah! Don't be afraid! Daddy doesn't bite!" Great. Chica too. Welp, he was dead. He groaned quietly, but Springtrap's bunny hearing was a sound trap, and no sound escaped. Suddenly he heard footsteps go the other way. He sighed, may-
The next second he saw, he was in Springtrap's arms in a hug. The hug was like a repellent to being mad, and Bonnie joined in. At least he can help Daddy now.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Mary was still upset about not being able to leave, but at least she was interested in the game. She and Foxy were peeking out of the curtain, 'Bonnie's lost as well?!' Foxy thought as he watched the scene. He hid behind the curtains and Mary followed after. She was still the biggest thing on his mind, why was she so upset? And she wouldn't say anything about it! It frustrated him so much!
His face suddenly lit up like a light bulb, an idea was in his head. Honestly, he'd have to thank Dad later. A grin spread across his face only to be replaced by a depressed look, containing just the right amount of hurt.
"M-Mary, why do you hate me so much?" Within less than a second, Mary turned to stare at him with an utterly dumbfounded expression.
"W-wha? No! I don't hate you!" She responded in record time, her face was still dumb with shock.
"T-then, why are you hiding things from me?" He asked Mary, stuttered as she tried to come up with a response, she looked like someone who was asked a question they should be able to answer but can't
She sighed, then looked him in the eye.
"I'm not ready to tell you yet, but I-," her voice started to crack, "I don't hate you, I never can." Mary started to edge closer to tears.
Foxy's eyes went wide with the realization that his grand plan, didn't exactly work the way he wanted it too. He tackles hugged her, catching her off guard.
"Listen to me, Mary." He looked the stunned Puppet straight in the eye. "It was just a prank okay, I don't think you hate me at all." Mary's eyes showed relief and happiness…. Only to switch to a steel melting glare.
"Why did you do that?!" She demanded. Keeping her voice low was becoming very difficult, given her anger. Foxy broke the hung and whimpered back in surprise. "You all most made me cry!" She glared at him for ten more seconds before she realized what she was doing. "O-oh no, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to yell at you!" He pulled her in for a hug yet again, and she hugged back like her life depended on it.
Foxy took a deep breath, as he himself resisted the urge to cry. Dang, it! His stupid prank only made things worse! He hoped he could calm Mary and himself down in time

Goldie felt her entire body tense as she heard the footsteps, Freddy seemed generally uninterested as he heard them come closer, as if he'd seen better.
The parts and service room was quite the small place, and one mistake and boom!
Game Over.
Goldie started curling up into a ball, desperately trying to stay calm and prevent any noise from being made, while Freddy just acted like it's a regular Tuesday.
Then, Springtrap went quiet, no noise could be heard, Goldie was still tense and Freddy was more or less confused, wh-
STOMP!
"EEEEEEEEEEEEK!" Goldie screamed in fright, Freddy jerked up and made himself visible from his hiding place under the table. So Daddy's strategy was startling them huh? Well played Daddy, well played.
"Come out my two cuddly teddy bears~!" Freddy and Goldie (for once in a lifetime) had the same reaction. Their faces turned red and burned in embarrassment. Not long after they were both cuddled against Daddy's chest, Freddy hugged back instantly, getting over the embarrassment while Goldie took a bit longer, but then hugged back.
When they hug broke they all smirked, "4 down, 2 to go."

Foxy was still hugging Mary, offering her the most comfort he could. Mary hugged back, enjoying the warmth of her bro's grip.
Foxy's ears perked up as the commotion traveled to them, "It's just us left in the game." He whispered Mary, nodded in understanding, before smiling.
"Looks like we're the best hiders!" Foxy chuckled and patted her on the head. She buried her head in Foxy's soft fur and rested.
It won't be long now, will it?

Springtrap stood outside Pirates cove, grinning. The kids he found were behind them, closing in on another one of them, they smiled as well.
The game was in the climax.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Foxy and Mary anxiously turned their heads as their siblings teased them from beyond the curtains, looks like they've been discovered.
"Come on now!" Chica playfully whined, "Daddy doesn't bite! He hugs instead!"
"Don't you want to feel his love?" Bonnie asked.
"Come on, My sweet little fox and puppet~" They both felt their faces burn as Daddy teased them, but then the noise stopped.
"A-are the gone?" Mary questioned, next second you know the current flung open and Daddy rushed into the room, both of them let out a startled scream.
Springtrap and the others rush up to them and tackle hug the living daylights out of them, soon the family would all be hugging each other, happy.
Springtrap was right, their one big happy family!
