Hey everyone! It's me!~ XD Just taking a short break from my other fic 'The Lost Ones' cause I realized something as I looked through the Fnaf section here.
There are practically NO fics about Balloon Boy.
I mean sure, he gets mentioned in a few fics here and there, but...overall he's not really around.
COME ON GUYS! He's the first human animatronic to EVER appear! This is, like, A HUGE DEAL!
Disclaimer: I don't own ze characters in Fnaf 1 or 2.
"Place him here!"
"Wow, he's really...small."
"He's to relate to the kids, what did you expect?"
As two workers carefully lowered a small animatronic to the ground from his box, an old man with a jolly man wearing a business suit smiled. Beside him was another man, tall and lanky and wearing the uniform of the restaurant.
The old man smiled. "After all, with all the other animatronics towering over them, this little guy will be like any kid they know!" he said happily.
"Um, sir, if you beg my pardon, exactly what will he do?" The other man questioned. "We have the main Toys performing, the Marionette handing out prizes, and Toy Foxy in the Kid's Cove."
Before the old man could answer, the boy animatronic was started up. His light blue eyes opened wide, before he began looking around curiously at his new surroundings. His gaze landed on the two men.
He blinked, before his programming set in and he smiled cheerily. "Hi!" he exclaimed. The old man smiled, kneeling down so he was eye level with the boy.
"Hello there. It's nice to finally meet you. I'm Mr. Fazzin, the owner. Do you know who you are?" he asked. The boy tilted his head, before shaking it no.
"Well, you are known as Balloon Boy. Your job is give balloons to all the kids that want one whenever they come here."Mr. Fazzin said. He smiled.
Balloon Boy blinked before nodding. He then looked at the other man. "Hi! Who are you?" he asked. The other man was startled, causing Mr. Fazzin to chuckle.
"This is Pete Guswald. He's one of the workers here. He helps watch over everyone here when I'm not around. You can trust him." he said.
Pete smiled sheepishly as he waved. "Hey there." he said awkwardly. Balloon Boy smiled happily.
"Hi!~"
BB stood still as the clock struck midnight. 'Wow...it's so different at night.' he thought as he looked around. He heard movement and out of the corner of his eye spotted Toy Bonnie leaving the room.
'Whoa...Toy Bonnie left pretty quick tonight!' he noted in surprise. A sudden light hit him and he froze, looking at the camera that held him in its gaze.
He was slightly blinded by the light as it finally faded away. As he tried to recover, he heard more movement. He blinked a few times and saw Toy Freddy in front of him.
He smiled. "Hi!~ Where are you going?" he asked, looking wide eyed at him. Toy Freddy smiled. "Oh, I'm just going to look around, check to see if everything looks ok."
Suddenly the light was back on as the camera looked at them. They froze, BB barely managing to hide his wince. When it faded away again, he looked over and saw Toy Freddy's face contort into that of annoyance.
"I really don't like when they do that." Toy Freddy muttered, and for a moment his ice blue eyes disappeared, instead leaving them black with white dots. Then they returned, and he smiled as he looked over to BB.
"I think I'll be going to visit the office. You can go and explore-just stay away from the Parts and Service room." Toy Freddy cautioned.
BB tilted his head. "Why?" he asked.
"You don't want to know." Toy Freddy said darkly, before he left the room.
BB frowned. Now he was curious. He looked at the camera and, after observing it for a few moments, began to wander off, leaving his sign and fake balloon behind.
BB was a child animatronic. As such, he had a child's curiosity. And with a child's curiosity, comes the tendency to disobey others.
As he wandered the halls, he eyed the various rooms he passed by, hoping to find where the forbidden room was. He stopped in the doorway of one room and giggled.
In the room was Toy Bonnie. He was a good friend of BB's, and very fun to be with. He had frozen up as the camera and light turned on, and ended up posing with his guitar.
As the camera and light shut off, Toy Bonnie looked over at BB, having heard him giggle. "Hey there BB! How's it going?" he greeted cheerily.
BB smiled. "Hi! It's going, um, good! I'm just looking around-I've never been to this part of the restaurant before." he remarked, looking around in wonder. He looked at Toy Bonnie.
"Do you know where the Parts and Service room is?" he questioned, hoping his friend would answer.
Toy Bonnie's eyes suddenly darkened, and he replied in a low voice, "Why do you want to go there?"
"I never said I wanted to go there!" BB said quickly. He smiled innocently. "I just thought I should know so that I wouldn't, um, ACCIDENTALLY go there!" BB nodded his head, agreeing with himself.
Toy Bonnie eyed him warily before he relaxed, and his eyes lightened. "In that case...it's just around the corner, near the back. I tell you, you don't want to go there BB, you hear?" He looked at BB, ears twitching as he said this.
"Promise me you won't go there, ok?" he said, smiling. BB nodded happily, mentally crossing his fingers (since his actual hands had no fingers). "Of course Toy Bonnie!" he chirped.
Toy Bonnie smiled, back to his cheery self. "Good!~ Now I gotta get going-see you later pal!" he exclaimed before leaving the room.
BB watched him leave, before he eyed the other end of the hall. 'Now, time to see what's in there!' he thought excitedly, before he began walking over there.
Just as Toy Bonnie said, when he turned the corner there was a door in the middle of its hall. A sign on it read 'Parts and Service'; however, it looked to be locked shut.
BB noticed this and sighed, disappointed. Now what? He wasn't as big as the others; that meant he didn't have enough strength to try and rip the lock off.
Crestfallen, BB began walking away. However, just as he reached the corner, he heard a loud crash, and then the creak of metal.
Frightened, BB rushed to the nearest dark corner. As he peeked out, he silently gasped. The door to the room was open-and in its doorway was a very large animatronic.
This animatronic was different from BB's friends. For one thing, he looked very...old. He was missing an arm, and his purple fur suit (NOT PLASTIC!) was ripped in many places, showing his endoskeleton from underneath.
But the worst thing was his face, for he had NONE. It had been ripped off at some point, revealing wires and two glowing red eyes that could only be his endoskeleton eyes.
BB trembled. Now he knew why his friends wanted him to stay away. This animatronic did not look friendly. 'What he finds me? What if he hurts me?!' BB thought, panicking.
However, his fears were calmed when he saw the animatronic walk into the hall the opposite direction of where BB was hiding. Soon, the other had disappeared.
BB eyed the open door. Now he could go in and see what was inside. But what if there others like the old animatronic, big and worn and possibly not friendly? But what if he never gets another chance?
Curiosity winning over fear momentarily, the balloon boy tiptoed over to the doorway, glancing around the halls, before he snuck inside.
Inside, it was much darker. Aside from some motor oil spots on the floor, the room looked empty. Needless to say, BB was disappointed.
'Was that old animatronic the only one here? Maybe I should've followed him...' BB thought, sighing. As he turned to walk away, he wondered if he could find where the other had gone.
Suddenly, a loud creak of metal rang out, causing BB to freeze. A voice then spoke.
"Arrgh, w-who be disturbin' m-me slumber?"
BB slowly turned back to face the voice. His blue eyes met with a pair of glowing yellow eyes, hidden in a dark corner. The eyes slowly rose as their owner slowly stood, joints creaking at their use.
They stepped forward, revealing a worn down pirate fox. He stopped, staring down at the child animatronic.
A few tense moments passed as each examined the other. BB was in a state of mixed awe and horror. 'He...he looks just like Toy Foxy! Well, except he still has his body intact...' BB thought, spotting the various rips and tears and missing fur on an ear.
The Toy Foxy lookalike raised an eyebrow. "I-I asked a q-question, lad. Y-ye best a-answer it."
BB was quickly startled out of his silence. "Um, hi! I'm Balloon Boy, BB for short! Please don't hurt me!" he squeaked out, panicking.
The fox blinked. "BB, eh? S-strange name ye h-have, lad." he commented. BB pouted, momentarily distracted from his fear. "It's not strange! What's YOUR name then?" he countered. The fox grinned.
"I-I be Captain Foxy, th' f-finest pirate ta e-ever sail th' s-seven seas! At least, I-I used ta b-be." Foxy muttered, scowling slightly. BB tilted his head.
"What do you mean, 'used to be'? Aren't you now?" he asked. "Arrgh, if o-only lad! M-me mateys and I w-were replaced, f-forced to rot i-in this disgrace fer a-a cabin!" Foxy said.
"W-we had been r-replaced! By those r-ridiculous e-excuses fer a c-crew. Hurts m-me eyes jus' l-looking at 'em." He then narrowed his eyes at BB. "Y-ye be with 'em, aren't ya l-lad?"
"No! I mean, yes! I mean..." BB sighed. "Well, I don't sing with them, if that's what you mean. I'm not part of the band." BB smiled happily. "I give out balloons to all the kids! It's always nice to see a smile on a child's face when I give them a balloon!"
"I see...if I-I can ask, w-why ye be down h-here?" Foxy questioned. "Oh, well, the others had told me not to come here. Not knowing why, I decided to come here and find out. Is it cause you and that other animatronic are here?" BB asked innocently.
Suddenly Foxy laughed a hearty, glitched filled laugh. "I see! Aye, t-they told ye ta s-stay away cause of a f-few things!" He grinned maniacally. "Las' time they b-be here, we all scared t-them! They r-ran out o' 'ere a-as quick as t-th' wind!"
BB thought back to a time when he watched his three friends run into the Game Area, panting and looking frightened. "Ohh...so that's why they were like that." he remarked.
"It always b-be fun doing things s-such as tha' and others." Foxy said absently. BB looked at him, and curiosity struck him once again.
"Hey Foxy, what was it like when you were still performing? Was it fun?" he asked. Foxy chuckled. "Nah, l-laddie. I never s-sang with F-freddy and t-th' o'ers. I u-used ta tell th' b-best stories ta me little mateys." Foxy smiled slightly.
"It b-be a good time, s-seeing their eyes l-light up with e-excitement and j-joy."
"You told stories? Stories about what?" BB asked, eyes wide.
"Stories a-abou' adventures on t-th' high seas, o' course."
"...can you tell me one? Pleeeeeaaase?" BB asked, hoping Foxy would agree. Foxy blinked in surprise before looking at the boy.
He thought about it for a moment. The others had already left, hoping to get to the guard before their replacements did. It was another fun way to annoy them.
Foxy glanced at BB. He figured the boy animatronic didn't join his friends into hunting down the guard-or possibly, his friends were waiting to introduce him to the sport.
Whatever the case, he knew BB had been honest in everything he had said to this point. And it had been quite a while since Foxy had told a story. It'd be like old times...
BB waited as Foxy pondered over to tell him a story. He hoped Foxy would agree. He really wanted to experience the adventure that Foxy said his stories brought.
'Th' o'ers can catch th' guard withou' me fer tonight.' Foxy decided. He smiled at BB. "A-alright, BB. Y-ye better sit, th' tale I-I be telling b-be a long one." he said.
BB gasped before nodding in excitement. "Ok!" he said, before sitting down and looking up wide eyed at Foxy.
Foxy silently chuckled. The lad acted almost exactly like an actual human child. He began his story. "Once, l-long long ago, t-there a pirate c-captain by th' name o' F-Foxy..."
BB stayed silent as he listened happily to Foxy. He was glad he had gone into the forbidden room now.
He had found a new friend.
D'aww~ :'D It's so cute! I LUV IT! XD Anyway, I always figured Foxy and BB would be good friends since whenever BB appears, Foxy benefits the most. More often than not, because of BB, Foxy will jump out and tear you to shreds. XD
(We could also include the Bite of '87 theory that involves Foxy, but I'm not sure if that counts anymore due to the sequel. :/)
ANYWAY! Please leave a review, advice is appreciated, and flames will be used to feed a phoenix. :D
P.S. Pete Guswald is my name for Phone Guy. Do you see it? The P? And the G? XD
