Author's Note

Through these dark times, we find the light of things. In other words, I am bringing you all more chapters faster than usual. Have to keep myself and you all entertained somehow. Welcome to story two.

Thank you KillerWoW for long time support and putting up with my nonsense. I need to catch up on reading your stories. I have not been in the mood to read lately thanks to Nine Weeks exams.

Onward!

Chapter 1: The Old and the New

(Old Freddy's Point of View)

I awoke from my long sleep to find myself in a dark room. I switched to night vision and looked around. My friends were a mess. I looked over to the far end of the room. Shadow, Bandit, and Shadow were lying there with pieces missing. Phoenix and Spirit were in perfect condition. I examined myself and I didn't look too bad off.

I shook Bonnie to get his attention.

"Wake up," I said.

"Huh?" He asked tiredly.

"My internal clock reads ten o' clock," I told him. "It is past closing time."

"Why are you waking me up then?" He asked.

"Look around you," I said. "We are in a dark storage room and you have no face."

He reached up and felt where his face should be. He started to panic a bit.

"It will be okay Bonnie," I told him. "We will find your face and reattach it."

"Where is Spirit?" He asked. "I could give a shit less about my face as long as he is okay."

"He is over in that corner," I said, pointing in Spirit's direction. "He and Phoenix had it better than us."

"Don't fret," Bonnie told me. "I wouldn't want him to look like us. It would make me sad to know he got hurt."

Bonnie walked over and sat next to Spirit. Spirit seemed to notice and stirred.

"What a pleasant face to wake up to," Spirit said.

"I have no face," Bonnie said.

"You have your endoskeleton face," Spirit responded getting up to hug him.

I became a little jealous and upset because I didn't have anyone. You may wonder if I still love Shadow. Deep down inside of me I do, but I can't be with him if he is evil. I walked over and nudged Shadow with my foot.

"Ugh what time is it?" He asked "yawning". The yawn is programmed and is not like a human yawn. "Fazbear? I am so glad to see you! Where are my arms?! What happened to me?!"

I placed an arm around him to comfort him and whispered in his ear.

"No good comes from evil," I told him.

"I understand that now," He replied. "I don't feel that same evil streak I had. Where are we anyway?"

"We are in a new restaurant in Parts and Services," Spirit said.

"Why are you in one piece?" Shadow asked Spirit.

"I didn't get involved with that quarrel y'all got into," Spirit replied. "We fixed the problem that you caused."

"Ingrates," Shadow mumbled. "Wait, where is my hat?"

He limped to the door and looked out.

"This place is huge," He continued. "I am going to go and search for my hat."

"I am going to look for my face," Bonnie said.

"I am going with Bonnie," Spirit said.

"Let's get everyone awake," I suggested. I let out a screech and everyone was on their feet. "Let's go and check this place out."

My group and I walked down the halls. We stopped at the stage area.

"Well that is new," I said, checking out the plastic animatronics. The bear snapped awake. I fell back against the wall.

"What are you all doing outside of the storage room?" The bear asked.

"We are just taking a look around," I replied.

"Might as well introduce myself," He said. "I am Toy Freddy Fazbear, T.F., or Fred."

"Well then you can probably tell I am Freddy Fazbear," I said.

"You are the old Freddy Fazbear," Fred said. "I am the face of this chain now. I am here to correct the mistake you made."

"I am about to correct your face with that attitude," I replied with a growl. His eyes turned black.

"Bring it," He said with a crooked smile.

"With pleasure," I tipped my hat forward. Chica stepped in front of me.

"Freddy, you know you are too old to be fighting," She said. "He will tear you apart,"

"We'll see about that," I gently pushed Chica aside and tackled Fred. We threw blows for a bit until his Toy friends assisted him.

"Fred are you crazy?" The Toy bunny asked. I could assume his name was Bonnie.

"Keep to yourself Bon," He said, "This is between me and the old guy!"

"He was whooping your ass until I pulled him off of you," Bon replied. Fred narrowed his eyes.

"Just telling the truth," Bon said shrugging. "Chic, show our guests around. Make them feel at home."

"Hi I'm Toy Chica, T.C., or Chic," She said. "Follow me."

We walked around and she showed us the place.

"We are the security guards here," She said. "We are equipped with the latest technology. We have rules on how to detain people and we absolutely do not stuff anyone in a suit. We can also detect any predator who comes through that door. If we get too far away from the restaurant, our programming takes over and directs us back. If you and your friends become too out of control, we have permission to deactivate and prep for dismantle."

"Noted," I said.

"…me my hat!" Shadow and another animatronic came around the corner punching each other.

"Will one of you help me?" The other animatronic asked. It was the Toy version of Shadow.

"He only has one arm," Chic said.

"He is a feisty little devil with his one arm though," Toy Shadow said. I pulled Shadow off of him.

"Get your hands off of me!" He spat.

I released him and he walked away.

"This isn't over!" He yelled. "Love you Fazbear!"

"Two fights in one day," Chic said shaking her head.

"Sorry for that altercation with my counterpart," I said.

"He has been a snob since the moment we woke up on the stage," She stated. "He found out he was leader and took advantage of it."

"Sorry to interrupt," Toy Shadow said. "I am Toy Shadow, T.S., or Shade."

"Nice to meet you," I responded. "I am Freddy Fazbear, or Old Freddy now according to my programmed name."

"They took the evil out of our A.I." Toy Shadow said. "They did not want to have any trouble."

"They could not reprogram us," I said. "We had seen too much."

"Now Fred is a douche," Toy Shadow said. "He is always looking for a fight. He thinks he is big and bad because he is the face of this place."

"Your counterpart is proving to be trouble also," I inferred. "We may need to keep an eye on him."

"Way ahead of you," Shade said. "The camera system is programmed into us. We see every room except the kitchen and the bathrooms. I see Shadow right now."

"That is some amazing programming," I said.

"The only problem is it makes us overheat," He replied. "We have to take breaks or we burn out. That is why I only check cameras if necessary. They didn't put the best cooling system inside us."

"Well I could keep watch while y'all rest," I offered.

"Can you handle a task like that?" Shade asked really cautious.

"I can handle anything," I said.

"Okay you are in charge while we rest." He said. "If you have any trouble, come find me. If Fred has something to say about it, you let me handle him."

I was glad to be put in charge of something. I was leader before, but I always worked with my friends as a team.

"Goldie," I said. He appeared next to me.

"Just say the name and I appear," Goldie said. "I'll get that bitch that tore my ear."

"You're quite the poet," I replied.

"I will be having some words with Shadow," He said.

"Do not cause trouble," I warned.

"Are he and you still going out?" Goldie asked

"Yeah he isn't as bad as he was," I replied.

"You still have feelings for him even after he tore up mama Chica?"

"He seems a bit more laid back," I said. "Besides, I do not wish to be alone."

"Suit yourself," Goldie said. "Keep an eye on him though. He is very unpredictable and might cause trouble."

"Will do," I said with a nod. I walked back to Parts and Services. Bandit was starting to awaken.

"What happened to my body?" Bandit asked turning to me.

"Looks like you're all torn up also," I inferred.

"I am missing my left hand,"

"At least you are not missing an arm and a hand like Shadow,"

"I have a few words I wish to say to him," Bandit said angrily. "I need to find Goldie first."

"I am right here," Goldie said mysteriously appearing in the room.

"I'll leave you two alone," I said, walking out to find Shadow.

I went down the halls and stopped outside a room labeled "Prize Corner".

"Something is telling me to avoid that room," I said aloud to myself.

"Why would you want to avoid this room?" A voice asked from within the Prize Corner. The figure came out to greet me.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I am the all-knowing and unforgiving," It said. "I am the Puppet Master. Just call me puppet or marionette. Never call me Marion or Mario."

"You are the one Shadow works for," I inferred.

"Precisely," He replied.

"Freddy, why are you talking to him?" Shadow asked walking up and hugging me.

"Relax, we are just having a friendly chat," The Puppet said.

"Freddy get out of here," Shadow said. "Do not listen to a thing the puppet says."

"Let the bear decide for himself," The puppet said. "Like I said, it was just a friendly chat."

"I bet you were trying to turn him evil." Shadow was in-between me and the puppet by now. He was really trying to protect me.

"What makes you so sure?" The Puppet asked.

"When we met, it was just a friendly chat," Shadow replied. "Look what that got me. I have no arm on one side and no hand on the other. I am useless."

"You're not useless," I said hugging him from behind. He rubbed his cheek against my face.

"Oh how cute," The Puppet said.

"Are you jealous?" Shadow said laughing. The puppet narrowed the specs he had for eyes.

Shadow wrapped his only arm around me and we walked to Parts and Services.

"I am sorry for what I did to you and the others," Shadow said. "I did not mean to hurt you."

"It is alright," I said.

"I miss my hat," Shadow said. I placed my hat on his head. He laughed and hugged me.

"Thank you Fazbear," He said.

"You're welcome," He examined me a bit.

"Your favorite shirt is ripped," He noticed.

I wore a black, long-sleeved shirt that had my name on it and a picture of a pizza in the center. It was given to me by the company because they thought it would bring in more people. It did for a while, but things wear off with time. I still loved the shirt and kept it.

"I will still never remove it," I said. "Fred has his own shirt, but it has no writing on it. I think he is jealous. He is kind of a douche."

"Since when did you start using words like that?" Shadow asked.

"Since it became the only word to describe him," I replied.

"I see," He said.

"You do not seem as evil as you used to be," I inferred.

"I guess the absence of a night guard keeps me at bay," He responded.

We walked up to the main entrance.

"Whoa look at that thing," I walked up to this robotic child holding a balloon. "I think he is just a statue."

"Hello!" It said.

"Bah!" I fell backwards. Shadow walked over to me. "It just told me hello."

It let out a laugh.

"That is pretty scary," Shadow said. "What is your name?"

"Hi," The animatronic child said.

"According to company files, he is the Balloon Boy," I said. "He hands out balloons to the children. I guess his name is Balloon Boy."

"We should claim him as our child before someone else does," Shadow suggested. "Look around, there are many couples. Let's do it before someone steals our idea."

"We cannot simply claim him," I said. "We have to ask him first."

I turned to the child animatronic. He let out that laugh.

"So your name is Balloon Boy, right?" I asked. He nodded.

"Want to be our adopted child?" Shadow asked without hesitation.

"Shadow we just met…" I noticed that Balloon Boy nodded.

"You do?" I asked. He nodded again.

"I guess we will have to find a way to communicate with him," Shadow said.

"I can communicate with him quite easily," I responded.

"Well we have an adopted child," Shadow said. "What else do we need as a couple?"

"A house in a nice neighborhood and a car," I said sarcastically.

"Well we live in Parts and Services and you do not know jack about driving," He responded.

"That is good enough for me," I said.

"Hello," Balloon Boy said grabbing our attention.

"He is trying to tell us something," Shadow said.

"You don't say…" I said.

Balloon Boy signaled us to follow him. We followed him to Parts and services. There was a box labeled "Spare Parts Balloon Boy". He pointed his sign at the box.

"There is a part in here labeled Balloon Boy Voice Box," I said. "Maybe it would give him the ability to talk."

Balloon Boy nodded.

"I found some instructions," Shadow said.

"Let's get to work,"

It took us a bit, but we finally got the voice box installed.

"That should do it," I said.

"H-How are you?" Balloon Boy asked.

"Quite well actually," I responded.

"Now we have a child who talks," Shadow said.

"Let's go make mama Chica jealous," I said grinning.

"Grand mama Chica now," He laughed.

"Thank you for the voice box and for adopting me," Balloon Boy said.

"You're welcome BB," I replied. "I decided to shorten your name."

We walked around and found Chica.

"Who is this little guy?" She asked.

"That is our adopted child BB," I said.

"I am a grand mama now?" She asked.

"Yep," I replied. "We found him in the entrance all alone."

"Well I bet you two would make great parents," Chica said.

"Well I am glad we adopted him before they could," I said. "An animatronic child wouldn't last five seconds with all of these couples running around."

"Talk about grabbing opportunity by the balls," Shadow spoke up.

"You are lucky I am letting Freddy date you still," She gave him an icy glare. "You tore me up and you hit him."

"That was the old me before this place," Shadow said. "I feel calmer in this environment. In fact, I saved him from falling into the Puppet's trap. He is part of the restaurant now."

"I knew it!" Chica yelled. "I knew they would use the puppet if they opened a new restaurant! Do they think the kids are going to like him? It makes me so frustrated."

She breathed an angry sigh.

"Don't fret, we will keep him at bay," I said. "I am in charge after hours."

"The company put you in charge?" Chica asked.

"No, Toy Shadow did," I said. "He said that the Toy animatronics are the security guards. They keep an eye out during the day for suspicious activity. Their equipment causes them to overheat though. At night, they need to rest so they don't overheat. Toy Shadow put me in charge for when they are resting."

"That might bring about conflict," Chica said.

"I can handle a douche like Fred," I said boldly. I read my internal clock. "Well it is almost time for opening. BB, get back in position.

"Yes sir," He walked back to the entrance.

"I didn't even have to teach him respect," I said smiling.

"I had to teach you a thing or two," Chica said laughing. I became embarrassed.

"Stop embarrassing me in front of my boyfriend,"

"Freddy you have issues," Shadow said.

"I am trying to work through them," I responded.

"Well I am going to go and rest," Shadow said stretching. "Come along Fazbear, I need you to snuggle with."

"See you around Chica," I waved.

"Yeah see ya," She went back to what she was doing.

"So you are all one big messed up family?" Shadow asked.

"Yep and have been since day one," I replied.

We continued walking silently to the back room where we woke up. Shadow sat in a corner and gestured me to sit next to him. He placed his only arm around me.

"I love you Fazbear," He said.

"I love you too,"

I fell asleep right there next to him.

(This chapter is going to go on forever…)

(Fred's Point of View)

I had to get some rest, but I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about Toy Shadow. I walked backstage and saw him sleeping in the corner. I walked up to him and sat next to him. He noticed and opened one eye.

"You alright Fred?" He asked.

"I don't know," I replied. "I couldn't sleep."

"What's keeping you awake?" Shade asked.

"I have you on my mind for some reason," I said kind of embarrassed.

"Y-You do?" He asked.

There was a moment of silence. I started reaching for his hand when I noticed he was reaching for mine. I took his hand in mine and smiled.

"You know I have liked you since the storage facility," I told him.

"I have too," He replied. "I thought you'd never go for it. I thought you would like Bon."

"I think he is with Toy Spirit," I inferred.

"We are taking the same paths as our counterparts," Shade said.

"I have noticed," I said. "Am I really a douche?" I frowned feeling a bit hurt. He placed an arm around me.

"To me you are not," He replied. A smile spread across my face. I was tired and decided to rest with him.

Author's Note:

You know what is going on so far, but you know it cannot remain perfect forever. What will be the factor that tears things apart? Keep that question in mind as I plan the next chapter. Also, 3,000 words is a good start for a story. Wouldn't you agree?
