Chapter 1
BonBon came back from her private meeting with Baby. She had a black eye and her mouth was covered by duct tape. She came back casually with tears in her eyes to her partner Funtime Freddy who escorted her to the bathroom as soon as she came back. He made her sit on a chair while he carefully ripped away the tape, seeing her swollen lips; Baby knew she had an allergy to duct tape and she'd always use it against her in punishments.
Bonbon had been punished for mentioning their former leader. Ennard. A kind man who came into town as teenager with his grandmother, he became friends with Ballora, another member of their "family" who really liked him. Ennard was banished from performing after what happened.
They all knew the truth; Baby caused it. She had ripped Ennard away so she could take his place. No point in trying to get rid of her; she was a genius liar and great at playing her sick game of "make believe".
Funtime Freddy gently rubbed BonBon's swollen lips, turning on the tap, he washed a cloth under the water then began to dab her red lips, hoping it would help. Baby's punishments were always harsh. Funtime Freddy often compared incidents with Baby to similar things that happened in the past with Ennard.
Both times, Funtime Freddy had dropped a pint of paint off the ladder and it has fallen directly on top of them. With Ennard, he endlessly apologised while Ennard reminded him; "it's just paint! It'll wash off! Plus I really like Yellow! It's the colour of happiness and sunshine!", he then went into the shower and came out with his hair dyed a bright yellow. He then smiled and said "I had yellow dye. I love yellow", he was relieved as Ennard easily got over it. The second time with Baby, the green paint exploded all her red dress, Funtime Freddy feared his punishment as she pulled him by his hair off the ladder and dragged him by hair to the bathroom. She then threw him to the wall and began to kick him. The door then opened, Baby was almost caught by William their creator.
Almost.
As soon as Baby heard William coming, she inflicted a snatch on her face and began to wail. William rushed in and Baby cried that Funtime Freddy had tried to rape her and she had to kick him to get away. William scolded him saying;
"Jesus Funtime, I've already lost one star. You're not going, but if this happens again, you're out."
Everyone else knew she was lying, even Henry was suspicious, he was the other person who often worked with William.
At lease one human believed them.
"I just miss him it'll slipped out." Bonbon told Funtime Freddy as he handed her an aspirin to help with some of the pain.
"We all do. But we must keep quiet. Things are different now." Funtime Freddy reminded her of what she already knew. It was just hard to stick to.
"Where is he?" Bonbon asked a question no one really knew the answer to. Ennard had been missing for ten years, no goodbye note, nothing to say where he had gone, they knew he wasn't thrown in prison because he was a human machine hybrid similar to the robot human thing from the movie called the "Terminator" and he would get out in a few minutes with nothing other than his bare strength.
"I just don't know." Funtime Freddy answered as Funtime Foxy came in and closed the door.
"I'm lonely." She said.
"I am too." Funtime Freddy answered
"Let's be lonely together." Funtime Foxy suggested.
"We'll have to be quiet." Funtime Freddy sternly reminded as he knew Baby had forbidden their romance.
