Hey everybody, it's betabug01 here, back with, not a reboot, but an original Easter story! What's this? I wrote something for a holiday? Yes I did! And, oh boy. I think this might be one of favourites so far. Hopefully you all enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it. Sorry that this took so long, but after the finale of 'What we have in Common' I just wanted to take a break. A long break, sure, but a break none the less.
For my next order of business, I'd like to say that, yes, this is a Mini-Fics. Yes, it didn't win the popular vote. So why am I doing it? Because I wanted to, gosh darn it! Now, this doesn't mean my next ACTUAL story has been canned, I just reeeeeeally wanted to write thing one.
Last, but certainly not least, I'd like to give a special shout out to my good friend SilverWolfandMagentaKitty, for without them...I would've had to proof read this story again. (AlsoifyouwanttoseemorestorywritingactionfrommekeepaneyeonhisRealLoveMachanicalHeartsstorybecausereasons)
And without further a do, I bring to you...a disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I do not own FNAF, or any of it's assets. They all belong to this guy names Scott Cawthon, and not me. Man it feels weird doing these again. It's like, getting re-addicted to an old drug...

Plot Synopsis Because Reasons:
It's that magical time of year again! Christmas? No! Easter of course! You know what that means! Chocolate! Eggs! Something about religion! And most importantly, bunnies! But one little bun is unaware of the magical time that is Easter. Oh, boy is she in for more than a few surprises!
It was a morning like any other morning at the restaurant, and all the animatronics were fast asleep. That is, everyone expect a certain pair of bunnies, who were locked in a fierce dual. A battle of wits only suited for the most skilled, daring, and level headed. What game were they playing?
Checkers, of course!
"And, jump, jump, jump. That's game!" Bon said excitedly, having baffled Bonnie with her amazing moves. He'd only taught her how to play checkers yesterday, and she was already destroying him in every sense of the word.
Bonnie could only mutter a startled "W-Whoa," when he saw how fast Bon had beaten him.
"That's five wins in a row!" his blue friend cheered happily.
"I-I don't understand. How are you so good?" the purple bunny asked, scratching his head. Bon giggled.
"I guess it's just girl's intuition." she replied with a playful smirk. Bonnie huffed and crossed his arms.
'Girl's intuition.' Bleh...
"Aw, don't be like that Bonnie. Wanna go again? I promise to go easy on you this time.~" Bonnie turned back to his friend, and smiled. He could never resist a good challenge. But before he could reply, something else caught his attention. An incredibly delicious smell worked it's way into the room, and crept into the bunny's nostrils.
"Whoa, do you smell that?" Bonnie asked, taking another whiff on the aroma. Bon raised an eyebrow, before sniffing the air as well.
"W-Wow...that smells...amazing!"
Bonnie smiled. "I'll bet my left ear I know what that smell is. C'mon..." he said, taking Bon by the paw and pulling her along.
"Wh-Where are we going?" the blue belle asked.
"I'm gonna show you one of the finer victories in life."
The two bunnies sneaked there way through the hall, doing their best not to make any noise. At last, they made it to there destination. "Th-The kitchen?" Bon asked. Bonnie nodded.
"Yup, this is the place, and- *sniff* -would you get a whiff of that." Bon smelled the air again, and the amazing aroma filled her nostrils once more, though it was much more pungent than earlier. Bonnie opened the door a little, before peeking inside and grinning. "I guess I get to keep my left ear after all. Take a look." he said, giving the bunny a peek. There, resting on the stove, was a tray of...
...well, Bon wasn't all that sure what they were specifically, but whatever they were, they looked and smelled good enough to eat! "Looks like Chica's been busy." Bonnie muttered.
"What are they?" Bon asked. The purple bunny's grin only grew wider.
"Well, for starters, delicious." he replied. "Come on, before someone see's us." Bonnie quickly pulled his friend in, and closed the door behind them.
"B-Bonnie, what are you doing?" Bon asked, started by the sudden jerk of her arm.
"Getting us some tasty treats, that's what." the bunny replied, smiling excitedly at his friend. Bon watched as the bunny walked right up to the tray, and marvelled at the 'tasty treats'. But before he could grab one, a stern voice from behind them spoke, making both bunnies jump.
"Bonnie...are you trying to steal one of my muffins again?" asked Chica, folding her wings as she walked over to the bunny.
"Wh-What, n-no, I was j-just...um..." the bunny stuttered. What could he say to stop Chica from finding out? "...looking them over to see if they were made properly. G-Good job." He gave the hen a thumbs up, and put on a smile that made him look all the more guilty. Chica stared for a moment, before, much to Bon's surprise, starting to giggle.
"Oh, you silly bunny. If you wanted a muffin..." the bird said, whisking the tray off of the stove, holding it out for both bunnies to see. "...you should've just asked." Bonnie blinked, while Bon giggled a little. She thought Chica's little 'angry' act was very funny!
"Oh...well, um...may I have a-"
"Uh, uh, uh." Chica said, pulling the tray away from the purple bunny. "Ladies first. Bon?" The little bunny's ears perked up.
"Oh, um...me? U-Uh, sure...yeah, I'll have one!" she said, before taking one off of the tray and biting into it.
"Weeeeeell~? What do you think?" Chica asked, hoping Bon would give her the answer she was looking for.
"W-Wow...these...um, 'muffin' things are pretty tasty!" Bon replied, looking down at the treat.
"I though you might like them! I've never met a bunny who didn't like my famous carrot muffins. Speaking of which...here you go Bonnie." Chica said, handing the eagerly awaiting bunny one of the pastries.
"Finally! Thanks Chics!" he said, before taking an unbelievably delicious bite out of the muffin, relishing the taste.
"Oh, don't mention it!" the bird replied. "But you've gotta work on your sneaking skills, mister. I heard you two coming from the other room! How are you gonna sneak around on Easter when you can't get past one hen?" Bon's ears perked up.
"Easter?" she asked, swallowing a bit of muffin. "What's that?"
"What?" Chica gasped, putting a wing to her beak. "You mean Bonnie didn't tell you? Oh, for shame Bonnie! For shame!" The purple bunny smiled sheepishly.
"I-I was gonna tell her, honest! It just kinda...um...slipped my mind?"
"Well, allow me to fill you in, Bon. Easter is a time of year where children come together to search for eggs that are planted all over the place by a special rabbit called the 'Easter Bunny'."
"The...Easter Bunny?" Bon asked, tilting her head a little.
"Uh, huh!" Bonnie replied. "But more importantly, it's the day where bunnies everywhere are praised and appreciated by children, and are cheered for everywhere they go. But the real magic happens at the Easter Fair!"
"Easter Fair?" Bon asked, both excited and kinda confused. This was a lot to take in. She'd never known there was a special day just for bunnies!
"That's right." Chica added. "Mr. Fazworth rents out Bonnie every year to the local Easter Fair, and he get's to hide eggs full of chocolate and other goodies for children to find."
"Oh, that's not even the half of it!" Bonnie gloated happily. "I even get to be called the 'Easter Bunny' by all the kids, and at the end of the day I get my picture taken with everyone! It's one of the best days ever!" Bon stared, her jaw dropped as far as it could without coming unhinged. Easter sounded awesome!
"Ooh! Ooh! I like pictures and children! Can I be the Easter Bunny?" she asked excitedly. Bonnie froze. Maybe he talked up being the Easter Bunny a little too much.
"W-Well, Bon. I-It's really more of a job for experienced bunnies, a-and-"
"Aww..." Bon sighed, her eyes becoming much sadder, and unbelievably adorable. Bonnie grimaced. How could he say 'no' to a face like that?
"B-But," he added, trying to cheer his friend up. "Maybe Mr. Fazworth will let you come along as my assistant Easter Bunny!"
"Assistant Easter Bunny?!" Bon repeated, her mood doing another one-eighty. It wasn't quite the role of Easter Bunny, but it sounded like the next best thing! Plus, she'd still get to play with all the kids AND spend the whole day with Bonnie, right?
"Alright! I'll be the best assistant Easter Bunny you've ever had!" she exclaimed happily, before realizing something. "Oh, I've gotta tell Chi, and Vix and everyone!" And before Bonnie or Chica could say anything else, the blue bunny grabbed her muffin, and raced off to go spread the exciting news.
"Assistant Easter Bunny?" Chica asked, folding her wings. "You know Mr. Fazworth would never let you both go, right?"
"Hey, you don't know that." Bonnie replied, before sticking his tongue out at the bird. "Maybe he will. What, you're not jealous, are you? Me 'n Bon are gonna have a fun time on Easter with all the kids, and you're gonna be stuck here all day?"
"Wh-What, no!" Chica retorted, though truthfully, she was a little jealous. Just a little. "I just don't think that Mr. Fazworth will let both of his guitar players go off partying on Easter."
"Yeah, well-" But before Bonnie could reply, Chica stuffed another one of her muffins into the bunny's mouth, shutting him up.
"All I'm saying is that it's probably gonna be either you or her, and with how excited she is about all this, I think it's pretty clear who Mr. Fazworth is gonna be choosing." she finished, before walking out, leaving Bonnie with a lot to think about.
"And then, we get our picture taken with all the kids!" Bon said excitedly, explaining everything Bonnie had told her to Chi, Vix and Balloon Boy as they sat around one of the tables at the far end of the main room.
"Wowie, Bon-Bon!" Balloon Boy said happily. "That sounds like the funnest day ever!"
"It sure does." Vix replied, impressed with what the bunny was telling her.
"Oh, it is!" Bon said, practically bouncing in her seat. Chi huffed, crossing her wings. She was happy for her friend, but couldn't help but feel just a hint of jealousy.
"I don't get why it's a holiday all about bunnies. I mean, you guys don't even lay eggs! Now, a smart looking chicken like me on the other hand. Now that would make it a party!"
"Oh, Chi. Be nice!" Vix scolded, prompting the chick to quiet down. "Anyways, Bon. Please continue."
"Well, Bonnie said that he's gonna take me with him this year, and I'll get to be his Assistant Easter Bunny!" The blue bunny pumped her arms in the air cutely, making the vixen smile.
"Aw, isn't that sweet." Vix gushed as she clasped her paws together. "You're gonna be his little sidekick!"
"Sidekick?" Bon asked, tilting her head a bit. Bonnie never mentioned anything about kicking his side. "Won't that hurt?"
"No silly!" the fox laughed. "A 'sidekick' is like a special assistant." Bon's ears perked up. She like the sounds of that even more!
"Really? That's awesome! Oh, I just can't wa-"
"Everyone!" came the voice of Freddy from the stage. "It's time to get into our positions. Mr. Fazworth will be here soon, and we don't want to be unprepared for when he let's everyone in."
"Right away, Freddy." Vix said, before smiling at her friends. "Well, I guess I'll see you two later. Come on now, BB. Let's get back to the Kids Cove." she said, before taking the small animatronic's hand, urging him to follow.
Balloon Boy obediently followed while waving back to Bon. "Bye Bon-Bon! Have fun being the Easter Bunny!"
"Bye, BB! And don't worry! I will!" she called, before smiling back at Chi, who showed the bunny a rather neutral expression in return.
"C'mon, let's get back to the stage before Freddy has a fit." she said, picking up her cupcake. Bon jumped up, looking very excited.
"Can you believe it, Chi? I'm gonna be the Easter Bunny! I'm gonna be the Easter Bunny!" she sang happily, skipping along side the bird. Chi put on a fake smile as she listened to the blue belle's happy song. Who was she to ruin the bunny's fun?
"Yep...you sure are, Bon. You sure are."
It wasn't too long before Bon, Chi, and the rest of the animatronics were back on the stage, waiting for Mr. Fazworth. Bonnie was very nervous. He wasn't sure if Mr. Fazworth would actually let Bon come with him to the fair. He glanced over to the very bouncy and happy looking bunny, and sighed.
This is going to be a long-
"Hello?"
Before Bonnie could even finish that thought, he heard the voice of Mr. Fazworth as he entered the building, before walking into the main room. "Ah, good morning everyone!" he said, and was met with a plethora of 'hello's' in return. "Now, now everyone. Please quiet down. I've got an announcement to make."
"Ooh! Ooh! Is this about the Easter Fair tomorrow?" Bon asked excitedly, waving her hand to get the man's attention. Mr. Fazworth chuckled.
"Well, it looks like word get's around quicker than I thought. But yes, it is. Now, as most of you know, every year I'm asked to rent out a certain animatronic for the Easter Fair, and this year is no exception." Bon began to bounce around even more as she listened to Mr. Fazworth speak.
Yes...
"So as always, Bonnie,"
Yes...!
"I'll be sending you out to the Easter Fair on Sunday, and-"
"Oh yes, sir!" Bon exclaimed happily. "I'd be honoured to be Bonnie's assistant at the Easter Fair. Thank you so much for-"
"Bon," Mr. Fazworth interrupted.
"Yes sir?" the bunny asked, momentarily stopping her super happy acceptance speech.
"What on earth are you talking about?" Bonnie went rigid, a sinking feeling hitting him right in the gut.
"What do you mean?" Bon asked, puzzled. "It's Easter, isn't it? That means you need me to come with Bonnie to the fair, right?" Mr. Fazworth stared, confused on how she'd ever gotten such an idea. The man sighed.
"I'm sorry, Bon. I only need Bonnie for this job. He's done this more times than you have, and he's more experienced. Sorry, Bon...maybe next year." At hearing this, Bon felt her whole world crash around her, and her mood quickly deflated to a much sadder one.
"S-So...I'm not going to the fair with Bonnie?" she asked, her ears wilting as she did. Once again, Mr. Fazworth sighed, and shook his head.
"No, I need you here. I can't rent out both of you...heavens forbid something happen to the two of you..."
"O-Oh...u-um...well, sorry for the interruption..." the bunny said, quieting down as her cheeks reddening like a traffic light.
"Yes, well...anyway..." Mr. Fazworth said, turning back to Bonnie. "You'll be going to the workshop later today to get a new coat of fur. As such, we'll be closing early today to avoid any chaos." Chi raised an eyebrow.
"What's the workshop?" she whispered to Chica.
"The workshop is the place where us animatronics go when we're in need of major repairs, like getting your fur replaced, or when you need a new arm joint installed. It's also the place where new animatronics are made." the larger bird replied.
"W-Well, thank you sir." Bonnie said, putting on a fake smile. Truthfully though, he wasn't looking forward to the fair as much as he had been.
"Not a problem. Fritz's cousin, Robin will be coming to pick you up at two-thirty today, so make sure you're ready. Tomorrow you'll be sent to the fair, where you'll spend the night, and return the following day. Be sure to behave yourself."
"Yes, sir. I will."
"Good," Mr. Fazworth replied, rather satisfied with the bunny's answer. And with that, the man walked to the office to file some paper work. Bonnie sighed, and looked back at Bon. He felt terrible.
Bon didn't feel much better. Not only did she feel embarrassed with her sudden outburst, but she also felt...
...almost betrayed in a way...
Bonnie had built this whole thing up for her, only for it to not happen. The bunny sighed sadly and quickly glanced over at her friend, unsure of what to think. She wasn't necessarily mad at Bonnie...
...but, she wasn't really happy with him either. The bunny looked sadly down at the floor, lost in thought.
Well...maybe next year...
Later that day, Bonnie was shipped off to the work shop to have his fur replaced. The whole ride there was filled with nothing but the thoughts of his situation with Bon. The two bunnies hadn't spoken since that morning, and as the day went on, things only seemed to get more and more awkward between them. It got so bad, the two barely even looked at one another. Bonnie felt a terrible feeling deep down in his stomach, and he was sure it wasn't from Chica's cooking. No, this was the unmistakable feeling of guilt.
"How can I make it up to her?" he asked to no one in particular. Truthfully, he didn't know. He just wished this whole mess would go away. But as he would soon learn, it's very hard to run away from your problems.
It wasn't long before Bonnie was heading back to the restaurant. He'd been put in a large wooden crate for safety reasons, and had been powered down since he'd arrived at the workshop to ensure that everything went smoothly. It was a large bump in the road that shook the bunny out of his sleep-like state, only to be greeted by the pitch blackness of his box. He couldn't even see his new coat of fur!
The bunny sighed as the thought of Bon reentered his mind, and with it, his immeasurable amount of guilt. He wished he could get a chance to at least say sorry to her, anything to make this terrible feeling inside him go away. Little did he know that his chance would come sooner than expected.
After what felt like forever inside the dark crate, he finally felt the rumbling of the truck come to a stop, followed by faint voices coming from outside. "So, how'd it go?" he heard Mr. Fazworth ask from inside the cargo hold of the truck.
"From what I heard, everything went A-okay." the mover guy replied. Bonnie felt his box tilt on it's edge, implying that he was being moved, and should keep as still as he could.
"Good man, but...did you really have to put him in a crate? He could've just sat in the passenger seat, y'know."
"Ah, well...it's kinda company policy and all. Delivered Carefully and Contained, you know how it goes."
"Right, right..." Mr. Fazworth replied. "Well, please, bring him in. Poor bot must be going crazy in there." After a few moments, Bonnie saw light come through the crate, causing him to squint as his visual receptors adjusted to the sudden brightness. He was able to make out the faint image of his friends, who had been waiting for him. They all stared at him, in almost a bewildered fashion.
"B-Bonnie?" Freddy asked, looking the most surprised. He looked like he didn't recognize the bunny.
"H-Hey, guys...what'd I miss?" Bonnie asked, stepping out of the wooden box. In response, he was met with a wave of laughter from his friends. "U-Um...what, did someone tell a joke?" The bunny stepped forward, unsure of what his friends were laughing about. The others didn't reply. They just laughed, and laughed. Bonnie, feeling very confused, looked over at Mr. Fazworth, who seemed less than amused. "I-Is something wrong, sir?"
"B-Bonnie! Y-You're-! You're-!" Chica stuttered, trying to explain. This was TOO good to be true!
"I'm...what?" Bonnie asked.
"Y-Y-You're-! Pink!" she said at last, almost falling over from the laughter.
"Huh?" Bonnie said as he looked down at himself, only to jump a good two feet when he realized that- "Holy mother of music, I'm...PINK!" he shrieked. And he was right. From head to toe, Bonnie's normal purple fur had been replaced with a bright, vibrant shade of pink. The bunny blushed brightly as his friends continued to laugh.
"Oh my gosh!" Bon giggled. She didn't think that Bonnie looked funny at all. She thought he looked absolutely adorable. "You look so cute!"
"That's one way to put it!" Vix laughed, holding her abdomen.
"I-I don't understand," Bonnie stuttered. "How did this happen?" Bonnie looked back at Mr. Fazworth again, hoping the man would see sense. To his surprise, and more so, dismay, Mr. Fazworth was nowhere to be found. He'd since gone back to his office, not wanting to make a scene in front of the other animatronics about how infuriated he was. Bonnie turned back to his friends, who for the most part were still in pieces from laughing. To them, this seemed like one big practical joke. Well, it sure wasn't funny to him!
"Okay, guys. Okay. I get it. It's not that funny..."
"O-Oh, it's pretty funny!" Chi chuckled, practically on her hands and knees. Finally, Freddy spoke up.
"N-No, he's right. That's enough everyone." he said firmly, the others soon quieting down. Bonnie smiled. At least Freddy understood how serious this was. "Now's not the time to be making jokes. We're sorry for laughing at you, Ms. Bonnie!" And just like that, Freddy, along with everyone else blew up in a fit a laughter once more, causing the pink bunny to blush even brighter.
"O-Or would you prefer it if we called you 'Bonnette?'" Fred chuckled, practically tearing up.
"Ha, yeah! We should have him and Bon trade guitars!" Chica piped in. "It'd be a perfect match!" Bonnie huffed angrily, and walked away. He wasn't gonna just stand here and let everyone insult him like this!
Pushing past his hysterically laughing friends, who were still calling out rude jokes to him, he walked down the hallway towards the Part's and Service room, and angrily slammed the door. A loud bang echoed throughout the restaurant, causing Bon to jump at the noise, and the others soon snapped out of their fits of laughter.
"Geez, what a sour puss." Chi commented, folding her wings. "They were just some harmless jokes."
"Sh-Should we maybe go apologize?" Bon asked, timidly.
"Nah." Chica replied. "He's a big bunny. He'll get over it. Besides," she continued, laughing a little. "it's not like he's not gonna stay in there all night!"
But it turned out that Chica had been wrong. For the rest of the evening, nobody saw, or heard from the once purple bunny. He didn't even show up when dinner time came around. Bon began to worry.
She was sure something was wrong, and knew she had to do something. When she had finished her slice of pizza, and made sure nobody was looking, the little bunny stole a second slice, and scurried away to the Parts and Service room. When she got there, the blue bunny quietly pushed the door open slowly, and peered inside. "H-Hello? Bonnie? Are you there?" Bon asked as she opened the door a little more, taking a few nervous steps inside. Very quickly, she found Bonnie sitting in the corner of the room, sad and alone. His feeling's were beyond hurt, and when he looked up at the blue belle, he immediately felt a thousand times worse. Though he was sure she was here to get some verbal revenge for earlier, he looked up at the bunny and spoke.
"Let me guess," he said sadly, his big pink ears flopping down on either side of him. "you're hear to make fun of me and my stupid pink fur too, aren't you?" Bon felt her heart hurt at hearing this.
"N-No! I w-would never." she said, sitting down next to the pink bunny. "I-I was just...bringing you something to eat...I thought you might be hungry..." She pulled out the piece of pizza, and Bonnie couldn't help but smile a little.
"Th-Thanks..."
"No problem..." Bon said, smiling a little as Bonnie took the slice of food.
"U-Um...y-you want some, or..."
"No, you go ahead...I already ate..." Bon replied.
"Oh...okay..." The two bunnies looked at each other for a moment, before looking away awkwardly. After a moment, Bonnie sighed. It was time he'd say what needed to be said.
"Bon...?"
"Yeah?" the little blue bunny replied, looking back at her friend.
"I...I'm sorry...sorry for getting you all excited about Easter, only to let you down. I really thought that Mr. Fazworth would let you come, and-"
"No, no..." Bon said, cutting the bunny off. "I should've known that he would choose you. You're way more experienced than me..."
"Yeah well," Bonnie replied in rebuttal. "you're way cuter than me. The kids would go crazy over you."
"Are you kidding?" Bon said, laughing a little. "You're new fur makes you look super cute!"
"More like super stupid..." Bonnie said sulkily, looking down at his wretched pink fur. The more he looked at it, the more he hated it. "The others are right. I do look silly..."
"S-Speaking of which..." Bon said, trying to change the subject. "I wanted to say sorry too...y'know, for everyone's mean jokes earlier...a-and even though you don't think so, I think your fur is really nice..."
"Heh, thanks...you wanna trade? I'd take sky blue over this dumb colour any day."
"Oh, don't say that. I'd do anything to have pretty pink fur like that..." Bon rested her head on Bonnie's shoulder, nuzzling her cheek into his soft, fluffy fur. Bonnie smiled, and wrapped an arm around the little bunny, letting her snuggle into his chest. The blue belle purred softly, wishing she could just sink into the softness of the Bonnie's fur. It was like having a big, cuddly plushy that you could lay on.
"Thanks again, Bon..."
"...no problem...and don't listen to the others...pink or purple, you're still my bunny buddy...and nothing will ever change that..." At hearing this, Bonnie couldn't help but feel just a bit better. He was glad to have a friend like Bon.
