Beeping. More beeping. One bang. Two bangs. Three bangs then four. "We need a plan, quick." He said, holding the bomb as he fiddled with it. "Marionette, get out of here! It's too dangerous!" He yelled, his eyes sparkling with concern.
"I-I don't want to leave you!" Marionette said, but He shoved her out. She never got to finish her goodbye, because the door slammed. "I'm a guardian too!" She yelled at the shut door, tears blinding her eyes. She pulled her knees to her face, sobbing.
Shouting. More shouting. Blurred words and shaky breaths. One beep, two beeps, three beeps, four beeps then five. A hushed goodbye and a final bang. As everything went flying, the only thing that stayed was an unconscious animatronic puppet. Everything else was shattered, broken. And there was no getting it back.
Marionette's eyes snapped open. It was only a dream. Sometimes she had no clue where these dreams came from. She was simply the protector of this pizzeria, or the remade one they lived in now. It was a little difficult to like being like this. Like animatronics. Sometimes, they wanted to be free so bad, and other times it was great being this way.
Mike was trying to stop them from killing night guards, but it wasn't really working. Not as great as he'd planned anyway. Marionette got out of the box, standing and stretching. She noticed a poster, one of the new ones with all the animatronics on it. Except for Foxy, Mangle and Golden. Oh, and Spring Bonnie.
Despite opening the toys and originals together, the company was still working on Foxy and Golden. Mangle was simply being redesigned at the moment. They were extremely unsure of whether to open Foxy and Golden up because of the accidents they'd caused, and they'd lost track of where Spring Bonnie was and wanted him to be opened up with Golden Freddy. Marionette understood that Golden was hopeful they'd recover Spring Bonnie because they'd been best friends for so long, but she knew deep down that something bad was going to happen out of this. And she thought that maybe, just maybe, Spring Bonnie wasn't going to make it through this.
As she walked down the new corridors, she knew almost every wall in this place was going to help them move on from the past, and maybe that this bad feeling she had was just the feeling of new pasts, and different memories. Maybe, just maybe, they'd move on from this horrible past they'd had. She hoped that was the case. She wanted to see everyone happy so badly, it hurt her to think they might go through that pain again.
She headed down the hallways, lined with posters of the toys and originals, of her and of many other animatronics, like Toy Freddy and Freddy performing together, Toy Bonnie and Bonnie battling each other with their guitars, and much more. The floor was reflective and clean, so someone must've cleaned it again. It was nice having a clean place. They'd fixed the lights up and washed the walls. No more pizza stains and weird fizzy drink smells.
Obviously, what had happened was spectacular. After getting a positive news article about how kid-friendly the place was, the company's business had boomed. They'd recently opened up the toys and originals and a few newspapers had come to give a review on the place, expecting shady pizzas and musty animatronics. Instead, they'd gotten kid-friendly, cheerful clean animatronics and spectacular pizza, with some very family-entertaining performances and all around friendly co-workers that knew everything about the place, and had obviously been briefed on how to handle kids and parents. It was an all-around good place, to quote some of them.
Since those articles came out, people had wanted to come see for themselves how much the place had fixed itself up. It was pretty much a miracle for all of them. They loved kids, and now they were warming up to adults again. This helped their recovery process, and it meant the company could do things they couldn't do before. As puppet thought about all of this, and how spectacular it was, she noticed a new poster.
It's background was a sunrise on the ocean with a boat and a cartoon-drawn version of Foxy with a new partner, presumably a fixed mangle, which was great. Marionette was overjoyed for them. She read the words, which said: "Opening soon! Come explore the seven seas with Captain Foxy and his first mate Mangle!" Marionette smiled to herself, cheering internally. She was so glad Foxy and Mangle would be preforming again, it was glorious!
She hurried down the hallway now, and into the main room. There was a big stage, a ginormous one, seeing as this place was pretty big, almost the size of two malls on top of each other. In front of the stage was a bunch of party tables, and around the edges of the room there were booth's for the family's coming in with small groups. In one corner of the room, there was an arcade with loads of different games designed specifically for the pizzeria. The stage was the thing attracting the most attention however, and it had a big spotlight shining down onto it, big enough to fit one of the bands. They had multiple other lights too, all in different shades and colours. Marionette noted that no one was on in this room, presumably because the originals woke up a little (more like half an hour) after the toys and this was their main place.
The toys hung around in the arcade, except for puppet, who hung around the entrance. Balloon Boy handed out party balloons and played hide and seek with children when they were bored. Puppet headed over to there, the arcade, to see the toys all happily crowded around one poster. Obviously, Mangle was still dangling from above, she hadn't been fixed yet.
"Quite exciting, isn't it?" Toy Freddy mused, putting his top hat on. Marionette wondered when he'd taken it off. The other Toy's nodded and Mangle squealed.
"I can't believe I'm going to be working with Foxy! It's gonna be like a dream come true, omgosh we should totally go tell him! He'll be overjoyed to be performing again!" Mangle said, her eyes glowing. None of them had noticed Marionette, but she smiled to herself at their excitement. Toy Chica smiled widely too.
"I'm so happy for you, Mangle! We should definitely go tell him!" Toy Chica shouted, only loud enough for the group to hear, so as not to wake the originals. For the past few weeks, they'd kept Pirate Cove out of bounds, and this was obviously why. Marionette wondered if Foxy would be in Pirate's cove again, or backstage like he had been before. She presumed backstage, the company would most likely want it to be a surprise-or, should I say, would want it to be a surprise.
"Make sure to check Pirate's cover out when you go past it-maybe Foxy'll be in there instead." Marionette chimed in, making the others jump. They hadn't seen her there.
"Oh Marionette! I didn't notice you there!" Toy Bonnie voiced on behalf of the group. You see, Marionette was never one of the toys, and never one of the originals. She was more in between. While BB was like Toy Chica's child and so obviously considered a part of the toys, Marionette was not. To be honest, she hung out more with the originals than with the toys.
"C'mon, Mangle. Let's go find Foxy-we'll check Pirate's cove on the way like you suggested, Marionette, thanks for the suggestion." Toy Chica said, heading off with Mangle following on the roof behind her. They were chatting about the engineer's, and whether Foxy was fixed or not.
"I believe engineers should be coming tonight because they want to do overnight repairs as well as during the day searches or something. All I heard was something about them coming late at night-or maybe it was early in the morning. I'm unsure." Toy Freddy said, turning to face Marionette and Toy Bonnie. Marionette nodded.
"Maybe we should go hang out with the originals-I'm sure that they'll know something about it. And then we'll also catch the night guards as they come in, so we'll be able to ask them about it! Hey, do you think Mr. Fazbear'll come in tonight to see it all?" Toy bonnie asked as he tugged Toy Freddy along, Marionette willingly following close behind. Close enough to hear it all, anyway.
"I think so, I mean, the company and business is a big deal to him, too." Toy Freddy said as we walked into the main stage, and found the originals all huddled around a poster near the end of the booth's on one side of the room. Marionette hurried over as Toy Freddy and Toy Bonnie began heading down to the entrance instead, hoping to catch the night guards by surprise or something like that.
"Hey guys!" Marionette chirped, quite happy and fuelled on excitement for the new addition to the pizzeria. The original's looked her way, all with big grins on their face. Marionette noticed Golden Freddy, or Goldie as they called him, was smiling widely too. "You noticed the new posters?" She motioned to the poster on the wall, the same as the other's around the place.
"Yeah, We're super happy for Mangle and Foxy! He's been dying to perform and things, it'll be fun to see him open again! Do you know where he is?" Chica cheered, clapping her wing/hands together in happiness. She didn't seem jealous that Foxy was performing with someone other than her at all, and she knew that. Inside, however, she was sort of disappointed and upset that he hadn't been chosen to perform with her, even though she had known it'd never happen. Besides, how bad could it be? Foxy and Mangle barely knew each other, and her and Foxy were best friends. Everything would be fine, she reassured herself.
"No, I have no clue. Though I'm pretty sure Mangle and Toy Chica went to find him before." Marionette said, and Chica nodded. She waved and said bye to the group, telling them she was going to go find them all. Marionette moved on to what was really bugging her. "When's the engineers coming? Toy Freddy said late tonight or early this morning." She questioned, and Freddy chuckled.
"Typical of him to overhear that. They're coming at 3 so they can add some of the mechanics to the stage and fix up Foxy and Mangle all in one day so they're ready for performing tomorrow, hopefully. They've got a team of ten working together, so we're pretty sure they'll have them done way before tomorrow, but they insisted." Freddy said, smiling. Everyone was really chilled and excited for this, and Marionette seemed to notice that especially.
"Speaking of 3, what time is it? I'm pretty sure Mike's supposed to be here." Bonnie said, looking around for a clock. Despite this, there was one on the wall that read 12:47, so Mike should've been here. She looked confused and added "Maybe….Maybe he's just late? I really hope he wasn't fired." Bonnie said, and at that exact moment Mike walked in. Bonnie sighed, relieved.
Mike smiled at them and walked over, thinking about how late he was. If they were up, he was definitely late. "Hey, sorry I was late." Mike said, his eyes sweeping the group before they landed on the poster. His face lit up suddenly, and he smiled. "So, ol' Foxy's being repaired and reopened, ey? They told me mechanics were coming, but I figured they were for you guys or something!" Mike said, surprised.
"Yep! It's great, isn't it?" Golden Freddy replied, smiling at Mike. Mike nodded and smiled back. "Oh, by the way, no need to tell us about the engineer's, we know when they're coming. The toy's don't though, so they'll need a little bit of informing." Golden added.
"Okay, I'll do that." Mike answered, before turning to walk off. He walked out of the room, and Marionette decided to follow suit. Freddy and Bonnie went to lounge on the stage, practicing a few new songs that Bonnie needed to work on. Goldie decided to follow Chica, intrigued as to Foxy's reaction. It turns out Foxy could squeal higher than any of the female's in the pizzeria if tempted.
At three, the engineer's piled into Pirate's cove while Mike herded out the animatronics and made Mangle and Foxy enter the room together. They were so excited, all of them, that both the toys and originals were crowding around the door of Pirate's cove waiting for them to come out, looking brand new. Turns out 6am was closer than they thought, and they all returned to their spots a little disappointed but still running on the excitement and happiness they had for their fellow friend.
They performed and played all day, with kids asking questions and things all day. Things like: "Why can't we go into the cove?" "Why are there people in the cove?" "Who's Foxy?" "Is Foxy going to replace you guys? Please say he isn't because I love you all so much."
A few of the older parents were sceptical of Foxy, and questioned the waiters about it. Freddy overheard one of the waitresses having a hard time answering a newspaper's questions, and went over to help. "Why did you decide to open Foxy up? Isn't he dangerous?" They asked, quite eager to get some juicy gossip.
"We've got some mechanics making sure that won't happen again, and we're fixing him up with upgraded security and mechanics." Freddy replied, and the waitress nodded. "We as a company find that sometimes old pasts and mistakes can be forgiven easily with just a little bit of help. We're very happy that he's going to perform again, he's been very eager to do so." Of course, this remark was regarded on behalf of the company in the newspaper. The newspaper interviewer left fairly quickly, noting that Foxy's reopening was not because the company was trying to win a feud against the media, and simply because the kids were piling in and so they needed more than one performance going.
When 12am struck, the animatronics were almost buzzing with excitement at seeing the new animatronics. They gathered around the outside of Pirate's cove and waited, eager for Foxy and Mangle to power up.

A/N: Hey! It's me back again with another FNAF fanfiction because I'm sort of into the fandom again. I don't know, I'll probably drift back into the Phandom and things eventually, but for now, appreciate another FNAF fanfiction because I had a day off school and decided to spend most of it writing and re-writing this while listening to green light and having a headache. Actually, I'm pretty sure I was supposed to do homework…..oops…
Anyway, it's exciting isn't it? I love the concept of Foxy being opened up, and this is sorta my own AU if you haven't guessed already. I just like the concept of this. I was going to add an OC to perform with Foxy, but decided against it because Mangle needed to fit in somehow. This is going to include major shipping, and the FNAF SL characters are going to come in later on, so If you're a fan of them, stick around and stay tuned for some drama there.
I got obsessed with Green lights by Lorde recently, along with Look what you made me do by Taylor Swift, so I'm going to listen to them on repeat for ages until I feel physically sick when I listen to them. If you know the songs and see a line that references the song, that's probably why, because I do that a lot. Like, I'm-surprised-no-one-has-noticed a lot.
Well, would you look at that, it seems we've come to an end. Goodbye then, Friend!
