Act I: Chapter 1- The Labors of Creation
Light cuts into my eyes once I open my eyelids. My legs felt stiff, my face was numb. I looked down at my body, seeing it was a silvery metal. I was very tall, and tall metallic ears fell from my head into my vision. I felt strangely naked. Ignoring that for the time being, I notice a small rectangle hole, long width and short height, directly in front of my face. From it, I could see the bright lights, and another box to my upper right. What was it? Where am I? My mind raced a thousand miles a minute. Who am I? What am I?
The box next to me shuffled a bit, like there was also something in it. If it had a rectangle hole as well, there was no way I could see it, so it was possibly on the other side of the box. Whatever was in it had the right Idea, though. I shoved as hard as I could against the box, even harder than the other box did. While I did this, I felt the box move, and I could tell my box was much, much larger than the other one. I kicked it from my mind, continuing to shove and shove at the box.
I heard someone yelling from across the room, saying things like "I think he's ready to come out!" "Is that the bunny? Or the bear?" "I think it was the Fox!" "No no, it was the bunny for sure, look! It did it again! Let's get them out, their suits are here anyway, we need to get them into them."
Suit? Bunny, Bear, and a Fox? He had said bunny when I shoved against the box, so I assumed that he meant me. I shoved again, but once I heard footsteps outside the box I froze. It must have been the source of the voices, which worried me. A face came into view of my small hole. It was a female, quite tall, with reddish blonde hair, and a smile so bright it warmed me up.
"Hey there Bonnie, you're awake, good. Let's get you into your suit, though. You don't look like yourself! I can't wait to see you move around!" She said to me softly. Her voice was warm and welcoming, and I blinked to show my affection. She had a crowbar, and yanked at the front panel of the box hard. I couldn't see her, so I backed up as far as I could in the box. Finally, the front fell to the floor, exposing the woman who opened me up. She was still smiling as I exited, my eyes finally adjusting to the bright light. Before I had a chance to look around, she helped me towards another young human.
"Ok, are we sure this is Bonnie? I would get my neck rung if it's Freddy or Foxy!" He said. His short black hair reflected the light, giving it a shiny appearance, much like his dark brown eyes, in contrast to the woman's bright blue ones.
"Yeah, it is Mel', now let's get this guy into his suit, we can't leave until we get all three of them into their suits." The woman said. Mel sighed, doing as she said by grabbing the purple rabbit suit next to him on the table. I was so busy looking at the woman that I didn't even notice it!
"Help me would you Katie?" Mel said. Katie… that was her name. She laughed, edging me forward, towards the suit. Mel put the head casing over mine, then began to attach the rest of the parts. They were a dull purple, though still quite vibrant and it's artificial fur was very, very soft. I could tell because I saw Katie was rubbing it for a minute while she held me steady. Finally, I was fully in the suit, and they both stood back to admire their handiwork.
"Looks about right, what do you think Melvin?" Katie said. He nodded, grabbing a red bow tie off the table. He clinked it around my neck, confirming it was on tight. "There! He looks great! Let's see if his voice box works!" She said. She came over to me, opening a panel behind the space under my neck. I heard her wrestle with some wires, finally getting something into the right place.
"Get it?" Melvin asked. Katie walked back to the front of me, and then she began to speak.
"Hello, what is your name?" She asked.
"Hey kid! I'm Bonnie the Bunny! I hope you're having a great time at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza!" I said. Huh? Freddy Fazbear's Pizza? What was that? Is that where this place is? That would explain the childlike atmosphere and the pizza decorations on the walls.
Katie seemed pleased with it, while Melvin had a sour look on his face. He walked over to the other box, the one next to the one I was in. While he was opening it, Katie looked me over for anything out of the ordinary. "Let's see… eyes seem to be working… your AI is working just fine… your suit is on correctly! Great! I guess it's safe for me to set you to Free Roaming mode then!" She said. Going back behind me, she fiddled with the back of my head again. Suddenly, I felt a burst of energy surge to my legs, and I easily moved them according to my free will. At first my balance was a bit off, but I slowly got used to it. Katie, seeming content, walked over to the bear suit next to the place my suit was sitting. She shooed me away with her hand, confirming that I was free to go around as I pleased.
I finally looked around the place in more detail at that point. Many different color stars attached to wires hung from the ceiling; each of the stars were a different size, some had glitter on them, and some were outlines of stars instead of filled in ones. Many tables were lined up in rows in the fairly large room I was in. White and purple table cloths were atop each table, alternating in a checkerboard pattern. The black, red and white wall tiles were everywhere, like the place as still under a bit of construction. Surprisingly, I felt excited. Though I just woke up, knew nothing about any of this, or even really who I was, I was very excited to see what was going to happen, Who these Freddy and Foxy personas were, what this building was for. Without meaning to, I started tapping my foot and hitting my hand on the wall. After I stopped, I sat down on the floor, trying to contain my wild thoughts. I don't know how long I sat there, basically organizing my thoughts, but when I came to, there was a large, brown bear standing over me, staring down at me with calm blue eyes.
"Hello." He said flatly. I blinked, standing up to get a better look. When I stood up, I towered over him by nearly a foot. I still felt intimidated by his heavy appearance, though. The only thing making me feel better was that his face was calm and non-threatening. After a moment, neither of us said anything.
"Hi." I eventually said. "So, they finished you too?" I said afterwards. He shrugged, sitting down next to where I was standing. I sat down too, looking forwards the way he was. "I… I'm Bonnie." I said, nervous.
"I'm Freddy, Freddy Fazbear. Um, do you know anything… at all? About this place I mean." Freddy said. I sighed, looking at the ground between my fee
"No…" I managed to say. He seemed disappointed, though not surprised. We both continued looking forward. I glanced over at Katie and Melvin, whom were having trouble opening the last box, much, much smaller than Mine and Freddy's. I stood up, walking over to them. Both of them jumped as I approached, I'm not sure why. Maybe I scared them. Regardless, I held my hand out for the crowbar, which Katie reluctantly handed over. With it, I used all my might to bust open the box. Once It opened, Katie and Melvin sighed with relief.
"W-Why did he do that?" Melvin asked "Is that in their programming?"
'No, but I guess he knows that helping is a nice thing to do, or maybe he likes you Melvin. Right Bonnie?" Katie said.
"I'm Bonnie Bunny" I said flatly, making them laugh. I smiled, then looked into the box I had just opened. A strange looking being stood up in it, it's bright yellow eyes being the only color on it's body besides the shiny grey metal. It had tall, pointed ears. What is this thing?
"Hey Bonnie, you wanna watch us put Foxy together?" Katie asked me. Freddy, who had followed me without me knowing, approached from behind me and stood to watch as well. Foxy? So, he was some kind of Fox then. I nodded my head, interested in what he would look like. Katie and Melvin helped the (I later found out what they were called) Endoskeleton to the table, put all his coverings on, and fixed any wiring, setting him to free roam mode after they decided he was ready after a few tests.
"Alright then! That's all for today, Melvin, let's get outta here." Katie said. Melvin wasted no time picking up all his things, quickly leaving the building with Katie.
Freddy and I stared at the little Fox. He was about five feet tall, had an eye patch covering his right eye, and torn up brownish shorts. He actually had on some form of clothing, which was quite strange, considering I only had a red bow tie, and Freddy had just a small top hat and black bow tie. On his right hand, he had a hook, which was only slightly sharper than his teeth. I didn't like him, not one little bit.
He just looked at us, his eyes darting from me to Freddy. I didn't know anything about them, or much about myself. I did, however, learn very quickly something new about myself. I am very, very irritable.
"Hi!" He said after he figured we were not going to speak. To be fair, I was about to leave him, so his assumption was mostly correct. "I'm Foxy the Pirate Fox! And who are you two?" He said. Though he had a pirate accent, he spoke in perfect English.
"Well, I'm Freddy Fazbear, and this is Bonnie Bunny." Freddy said next to me. Foxy looked us up and down, and he had a slight glint in his eye. He smiled, giving it a menacing overlook.
"Well, nice to meet you both. What's there to do around here, huh?" He said, darting around the area next to us. I huffed, angrily watching him encircle me with a bright smile on his face. How annoying, this little Fox was.
