Spooky Weird Pre-Chapter A/N: Hey, guys! BGBNDR here! Welcome to my new collection of one-shots and short stories, based on A New Start! This'll be something that I'll work on as a side thing, to keep you entertained while I work on a legitimate sequel! For each new one-shot and arc outlined in this fic, the title will be displayed before the first chapter, as well as a synopsis! And, well, I s'pose that's it. I figured that I'd kick this thing off with a good ol' fashioned Easter special. I've planned four chapters of this 'ere. Have this silly prologue of sorts for now. Consider this a test arc as I continue on my perilous journey to get better at writing.
Oh, and – word of warning: For simplicity, and because they're usually the only bots featured in these stories, all of the Toys will only be referred to, without their Toy prefixes!
...And if that mess of a sentence makes no sense to you, basically "Toy Bonnie" will be referred to as just "Bonnie". Same goes for Toy Foxy (Foxy), Toy Freddy (Freddy), and Toy Chica (Chica).
Also, speaking of Toy Foxy, due to the events of A New Start, The Mangle has been repaired. Y'knowforthosewhohaven'treadthefic.
Now, with that finally out of the way, on to the story!
Easter Bonnie
Synopsis: It's Easter! Bonnie's special day! To celebrate, Scott decides to take the bots to the local Fair! It soon turns out to be a much more special day than they previously thought...
It was early Sunday morning. The sun was barely rising over the horizon, its light only sparingly beginning to wash over the town. Everything was rather quiet. Including Chica, only the sparse early birds were up and about, doing what they usually do every morning. However, unlike most other mornings, this one was special.
As the sun's rays shone through the windows of Scott's house, penetrating the darkness that once dominated the living room where the bots were held, its inhabitants began to awaken. The first to activate was Bonnie. He immediately clutched his guitar tightly, his fingers almost digging into the instrument as an unshakable grin spread across his face. He didn't even have to check his internal calendar to know what day it was...
"Easter..."
To some, this was a special day - a reason to get out and about, perhaps even head to the Town Fair for a good ol' fashioned Egg Hunt, play some of the usual fair games, or even grab a bite to eat!
But to Bonnie Bunny, this day was especially unique...
This was his day! His time to shine! This was a day he was waiting for since he was first activated!
It was Easter.
"Guys!", he shouted as he looked at Freddy and Foxy, who were positioned nearby. He frowned slightly as the two didn't respond. They blankly stared forward, their mouths hung open. Bonnie stared at the two for a moment, confused, before chuckling to himself as he stepped away from them.
"Oh, right! You guys take a little longer to turn on, don't'cha?", he asked the two inactive animatrons. He and Chica were always the quickest to power on. He never understood why Freddy and Foxy were so slow...
Heck, he recalled the poor fox, then Mangle, staying inactive for an entire night! Perhaps it was because of her 'state' back then. But, at least she was (mostly) repaired now. She still looked a little banged up in some spots, she was definitely in a much better condition than before...
Regardless, Bonnie began to venture from his spot in the living room. He didn't see Chica standing with him or the others, so he found himself curious as to where she was! As he began to make his way toward the kitchen, he began to hear some talking and giggling. From the sound of it, Bonnie could infer that it was most likely his friend!
...But, who could she be talking to? Scott wasn't usually up this early...
Bonnie approached the kitchen doorway curiously, and almost walked into the room. He found himself quickly backpedaling and partially hiding in the next room, however, as he noticed a rather odd sight.
He saw Chica in the kitchen, looking down and talking to something that she was holding. Due to the direction Chica was turned, Bonnie couldn't see exactly what it was.
"Tell me," Bonnie could hear her say. "Do I look... 'weird' to you? I mean, my body's so thin, and my legs, they're..." She pauses, looking further down. "They're really huge! And not to mention my-" To Bonnie's surprise, she froze her speech, as if someone had interjected. Her gaze diverted slightly, toward what she was holding, and she stared for almost a minute. Bonnie weighed the prospect of walking into the kitchen, before Chica spoke up again.
"Well, I guess you're right, but..." She paused again, flinching slightly.
"You know what?", she asked her seemingly invisible companion. "You're right! I don't have to worry about the way I look! I'm awesome the way I am," she confidently said, grinning. Then, she peacefully sighed. "You always know what to say, Carl..."
Bonnie blinked. He didn't understand what he was seeing, or hearing. Who was his friend talking to? And how'd his friend's unknown friend get into the house? As far as he knew, there was only Freddy, Foxy, Chica, Scott, then himself in this place! Maybe this 'Carl' was an intruder!
Or maybe, he's a new friend!
Bonnie grinned at this thought! He figured that that made sense! Carl must be a new friend that Scott brought in last night, while the bots were deactivated! With this newfound feeling of joy at this prospect, Bonnie bounded into the kitchen. He wanted to meet Carl!
"Hi, Chica!", Bonnie exclaimed, prompting the chicken to whirl around in surprise and put her hands behind her back. "Who's Carl?", he asked. "I wanna meet him!"
"C-C-Carl?", Chica repeated shakily. "Who's that? I-I don't know a Carl! You were probably just hearin' things!", she reasoned. Bonnie tilted his head, having his doubts.
"Of course I was hearing things!", Bonnie replied, putting his hands to his ears. "If there's one thing I'm good at, it's that! And, I could'a sworn I heard you talking to someone!", he said, before squinting.
"...Chica...", he began, looking his nervous friend dead in the eye. "Are you lying to me?"
Keeping silent, Chica quickly shook her head.
"Hrmmm...", Bonnie mused, leaning slightly closer. The next few seconds were spent in tense, stiff silence. "...Good!", Bonnie happily said, satisfied. If his friend said that she wasn't lying, then so be it! "Anyway!", he then began, "Today's Easter! Do yah know what that means, Chica? Huh? Huh?"
Once again, she shook her head.
"It means that this is my day!", Bonnie gleefully said. "This is gonna be the best day ever! This is gonna be the day that I do... Well, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do, but I'm gonna do it! Oh, maybe Scott has some ideas!", he said before turning around and making his way out of the kitchen. "I'm gonna go ask him! See you later, Chica!"
With that, he ran out the kitchen.
Chica sighed, now alone, and moved her hands from behind her back. She looked down at the cupcake she was holding with a sorrowful expression on her face.
"Oh, Carl...", she said softly. "Nobody will ever know about us..."
"Scott! Scott! Scott!", Bonnie repeatedly called out as he slowly went up the stairs. He would try to run up the steps, but he was never really good with the whole... 'stair' thing... He was near the top when he saw the man in question leaving his room.
"Oh, good morning, Bonnie!", Scott greeted as the rabbit reached the top of the stairs. "Up as early as ever!", he said. Bonnie nodded.
"Uhuh! You know what they say!", he said as he approached Scott. "Early bunny gets the carrot!" Scott chuckled.
"I'm not entirely sure that that's how that goes, Bonnie," he replied. Bonnie flicked his hand a little, dismissing Scott's remark.
"Yeah, well, the point is, today's Easter! In fact, I think this is my first Easter! And to make this already-special day extra-special, I wanna do something! But the problem is... I don't know what to dooo!", he shouted, grabbing Scott's shoulders and shaking him.
"We-e-ell, we-e-e-e cou-ould go to-o-o the To-o-own Fa-a-air!", Scott replied as he was shook. Bonnie blinked, letting Scott go.
"Town Fair?", he repeated, tilting his head. "What's that?"
"Well, it's basically like this place where a bunch'a people come together," he explained. "There's a bunch'a games there, like ring toss, one of those watergun shooting galleries, and merry-go-round... Oh! A lot of people bring their children there too! Y'know, to play those games I just mentioned."
"Oooh! Their children?", Bonnie asked, especially interested in that particular part of Scott's explanation. It was at that moment that Bonnie knew what he wanted to do! "I wanna go to the Fair!", he said, grinning.
"Well, alright then!", Scott replied. "Just gimme some time to wash up 'n get some coffee. And, you should pro'lly tell the others what we're gonna do. We don't want it to come as a surprise to 'em, now would we?" Bonnie shook his head.
"No, of course not! I'm sure they'll all love to hear about this!", he replied.
"Right. Well, with that, I guess I'll see you in a bit!"
After exchanging nods, the two parted ways. Bonnie carefully made his way back down the stairs, watching as the other bots, already up and about, made casual conversation. As the three noticed their pal coming towards them, Freddy waved.
"Good morning, Bonnie!", he happily greeted in his usual, deep voice. "Happy Easter!"
"Yes, happy Easter, hun!", Foxy kindly said
"Heeeey!", Chica exclaimed, her cupcake mysteriously absent.
"Hi, guys! Haaaaappy Easter!", he exclaimed, ending his sentence with a hop. "Scott says that we're gonna head somewhere today!"
"Really?", Freddy asked. "Where might that be?" Chica and Foxy were similarly curious.
"Yeah, what's he got planned?", one of them asked.
"Weeeeell~", Bonnie began reticently, putting his hands behind his back. "He says that we're... going to The Fair!" he exclaimed, spreading his arms and moving his hands about.
"The Fair?", Freddy replied, astounded. He had never gone to a Fair before!
"Ooh!", Foxy said, putting her hands together. "Why, that sounds lovely!"
"...What's a Fair?", Chica inquired, head tilted.
"Well, Chica, a Fair is a place where people to go have fun," Freddy said, putting up his finger in a matter-of-fact sort of way. "There are games such as Darts, Ring Toss, and Whac-A-Mole! You know, like the stuff we used to have in our old pizzeria!" Bonnie nodded in confirmation.
"Uhuh! That's what Scott said!", he said. "Plus, kids go there too! And, do yah know what that means? It means we can do something to entertain 'em! Show 'em that the Toys're still here!"
"Haha!", came a voice. "Excited, are we?"
All four of the bots turned to see Scott looking down upon them from the loft.
"Oh, hi, Scott!", Bonnie exclaimed. "When're we gonna head to the Fair? Can we head there now? Can we, can we, can we?", he asked, beginning to hop up and down in excitement.
"W-Well, hold on, hold on!", Scott replied, putting his hands up. "I know you're excited and all, but, please, gimme a few minutes to eat breakfast. Alright?" Bonnie frowned. He didn't recall Scott mentioning breakfast earlier. But, he did know how important breakfast was. But, that also meant he'd have to wait! And if there's one thing Bonnie couldn't do right now, is wait!
"...Alriiiight...", the bunny finally said.
Scott stood there for a few extra moments, worried, before slowly turning and heading into the kitchen.
"Don't worry, Bonnie," Freddy said, putting a reassuring hand on his friend's shoulder. "Just be patient. I'm sure that Scott won't take long." Bonnie frowned a little more. He really wanted to head to the fair, though! Though, Freddy was probably right. Scott's usually pretty quick. Plus, it's still morning! There's ample time!
"Yeah... Yeah, you're right, Freddy!", Bonnie replied, looking up at the bear as his happiness returned. "I can wait!"
