Repairs
A/N: It seems I'm at it again. As usual I only own Leo, the kits, Crackers, and that's about it for this one? Oh Cards Against Humanity belong to their respective owners. Everyone else belongs to Scott Cawthon. Enjoy!
Toy Freddy found himself in a rather difficult position at the moment. Springy had let him into the receiving room after the company had shown up and removed Bonnie from the building. He was now trying to find a way to get some damage control done before Bon became completely unstable and most likely hurt himself or someone else. He knew the earlier signs of Bon not showing any emotion meant as soon as he was alone he would come unhinged.
"Fred, you shouldn't stand her up she'll be upset!" Bon tried to protest the toy bear's presence once more.
Toy Freddy shook his head, "Not happening, you need me more right now."
"A woman scorned isn't good though! She'll make your life a living hell!" Bon shot back.
Fred shrugged and sat next to his friend, "Not as much of a hell as seeing you distressed. I wish I could just do something, but…I've never been exactly great at the whole cheering up department."
"You've gotten better at it truthfully" Bon admitted and looked around the room.
Fred followed the rabbits gaze and noticed just how different this room felt from the rest of the building. It was always so cold, and full of boxes that were either coming and going from the pizzeria or to different places. Since Larry's closed down Fazbear's became a distribution hub for several other places. Their usual shipments could range anywhere from food ingredients to bots that were being sent to their new homes. Fred truthfully hated the room, it was devoid of everything that made Fazbaer's what it was. Fun, safe, full of happiness which represented Fred well, but this room it was cold, dangerous, and carried a heavy feeling which matched Bon perfectly at the moment.
Freddy was at a loss though, how could he comfort someone who had been through so much when he had been through so little? As he continued to think silence consumed the room that they sat in, but Bon didn't seem to mind in reality. Sometimes even just silence between friends was enough to help someone feel better. The rabbit's attention turned to what sounded like someone climbing through the vent, and he was sure on who it was. Fred turned around and noticed that Leo had climbed through the vent to get into the room once more, why didn't he just ask for the key?
"Hey Leo" Fred spoke quietly.
Leo nodded and sat down next to the two bots taking something out of his coat pocket, "Thanks Bon, this actually helped more than you realized."
Toy Freddy raised an eye-brow, "You actually parted with-"
"He needed it more than I did" Bon responded gently, "I'm glad it helped Leo were you able to say goodbye?"
Leo nodded, "Did you?"
Fred could have sworn he saw a mischievous glint reflecting in Bon's eyes, "Bon don't tell me that you!"
"Of course not! I wouldn't even activate Spingtrap in that kind of shape! However, I was able to at least say goodbye in my own way" Bon admitted, "It was like how I first talked to you when I made myself known back at the other building."
"So you essentially entered his circuits and talked to him that way." Fred mused, "Impressive."
"See, I know how to do a few tricks." Bon shot back.
Leo started to laugh, "But you refuse to be part of a magic act!"
"I will not allow myself to be pulled from a hat" Bon scowled and crossed his arms, "Though my brother did warn me of something."
"What was it, and should we tell the others about it?" Fred asked.
Bon thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, we should tell Freddy and the others. Come on Leo you're coming out with us instead of taking the vent."
Leo was about to protest but the two plastic cased bots managed to grab him quicker than he first thought possible. Soon enough he found himself dragged back out into the main room and noticed that everyone was gathered around playing a few card games. Crackers was the first to notice the trio and started to alert the others, "Found them!"
Freddy turned around and looked at the three, "About time you joined us. Bon, how are you feeling?"
"As well as I am going to be with my brother not here. However, he did leave a warning before he left." Bon spoke sounding more confident in himself.
Everyone seemed to take an interest in these words and Mari got up, "What was it?"
"The new bot that they're going to have his replacement, he had overheard that she was from a failed franchise. He then proceeded to threaten that if I became too depressed he would reactivate himself, and personally come back to kick my ass." Bon responded.
Freddy started to laugh, "Yep, that's our Bonnie alright. So we could be dealing with a bot who has anger issues directed at us. That's nothing new. Did he happen to hear what kind of model she was?"
"Rabbit, a hybrid between the restored and toy models" Jeremy spoke setting his hand of cards down, "I don't know too much about her except she was only in use for a month, and only one other bot from her line exists."
Mari tapped their chin, "So we really don't know much at all."
"Maybe Bon will finally get himself a- Oww!" Foxy jolted as Mangle slapped him upside the head.
Bon chuckled, "Thanks Mangle."
"No problem!" the white vixen replied happily causing the kits to snicker.
Leo smiled faintly and took a seat in between Jeremy and Goldy, "I hope she's nice at least."
"We won't know until she arrives" Chica responded gently, "I do hope the kids come back at some point though!"
Freddy rubbed Chica's back, "Last time they called they were in Canada, trust me they could be in worse places."
"That doesn't help!" Chica cried, "I want my babies back!"
"So what are you guys playing?" Bon asked looking at the cards.
Jeremy yawned a little, "Cards Against Humanity, you guys want to join?"
"Really?" Leo asked.
Jeremy shrugged, "I let you play worse things."
"True" Leo responded and drew seven cards.
Bon and Fred shrugged and decided to join the group taking places at the table. Before long the building had erupted into laughter as some of the most bizarre card selections had come to light. Toy Chica fell from her seat as she started to read some of the things the others had come up with. Fred chuckled and continued to read for her while she was still laughing. It turned out Mari won the hand and merely shrugged when everyone turned to them looking slightly mortified.
Jeremy was the judge next round and it was classic, "For my next trick I will pull blank from blank!"
Everyone quickly came up with two cards and waited to see what would happen. Jeremy looked through and read each one aloud and died as he came to the winner, "For my next trick I will pull Batman! Out of Dead Parents…. Okay which one of you was it?"
Springy timidly rose her hand, "It was me."
Mangle chuckled, "Who knew. Foxy look at the time we should get the kits to bed."
"Aye, it's that time already." Foxy agreed and swooped the kits up in his arms, "Thanks for letting us play a few hands!"
"Anytime!" Freddy chuckled as the mechanical fox family wondered off, "I think that's enough for now."
Everyone else nodded and soon disbanded to follow whatever took their interest. Toy Freddy quickly parted with Toy Chica to another room while many of the other "couples" did the same. Jeremy and Leo had started to make their way back for the apartment and Bon sighed trying to figure out what he would want to do. Everyone had wondered off to do something, but him. Sighing he returned to the show stage and decided to do the one thing he hadn't done in some time, sleep. As one slept the others continued to go about their planned nights, though Toy Freddy wasn't really enjoying the night.
"Come on Fred, what's wrong?" Toy Chica finally asked not able to ignore it any longer.
The toy bear sighed, "He needs us right now Chic, and we totally abandoned him!"
"He looked like he was fine" Toy Chica responded.
Toy Freddy groaned, "You don't know how to read him like I do! He can act like he's fine with no problem!"
"If you're so worried why don't you just go spend time with him then!" Toy Chica snapped.
Toy Freddy sighed and shook his head, "No, we had already made plans for this. I just wish that you could see what I do Chic. Remember he did give up his life for YOU."
Toy Chica fell silent she had lost all points to argue on, her beloved was right. Despite everything that happened, and how badly she had hurt the toy rabbit he still continued to care enough to pay the ultimate price for their freedom. At least Toy Freddy cared enough to watch over Bon, the Balloon Children did on occasion when they weren't swarmed, Mangle would have as well but she had her own family to look out for. Bon had given her so much, but she had done so little to actually return the favor. Now she felt like a horrible friend, no wonder he had such a hard time actually being able to talk to her or anything else.
"Fred, am I good bot?" Toy Chica asked quietly.
Toy Freddy pulled her close, "Of course you are…. Like the rest of us though sometimes you even lose sight of what's important. Let's just try and enjoy the rest of our night, okay? Knowing Bon he's probably decided to go to sleep since he hasn't in only who knows how long."
Toy Chica nodded and wiped her eyes some, "I need to start trying to repair the damage that I've done. After all that's happened the one thing I never truly did was apologize to him."
"I know you will when the time's right" Fred sighed gently and played with the three feathers that made up the chicken's "hair".
The rest of the building remained silent, even in the emptier apartment both Leo and Jeremy were fast asleep trying to find some peace in the dark soothing embrace of their dreams. Though Leo was dreading tomorrow, it would be the last time he saw his few good friends before they moved to another town. He was starting to feel desperate and alone, everyone he cared for was leaving him. First it was Mike, now his friends, who would be next? Would it be his father, or what if something happened and they had to sell the building and everyone inside? Those thoughts alone scared the young boy to where he jolted from his sleep visibly shaken and trembling. However, his nearly silent movements didn't go unnoticed. Before long Bon appeared in his room as his shadow form and sat next to the troubled youth, "Leo, calm down it's alright."
"I'm afraid…. afraid that everyone is going to leave!" Leo confessed.
Bon frowned and wound his music box and set it on Leo's bed stand, "None of us are going to leave you Leo. We'll always find a way back to our family, regardless of what happens."
Leo found some comfort in the rabbit's words, "Bon, how do you do it? How do you stay so happy when the world around you is falling apart?"
"I may look calm on the outside, but on the inside I'm a wreck. I can't shake this bad feeling that we're going to be in store for something worse than Springtrap."
"I never thought I would hear those words" Leo uttered rather surprised.
Bon nodded and tucked the boy back into bed and left his music box at the boy's side to calm him down. Bonnie had left it for him so he felt safe and secure, but right now someone needed that feeling of security more than he did. He phased back to the show stage and returned to his spot and started to fall asleep once more. He had gotten Leo settled down, but from the faint sounds he heard there were a few more upset entities in the building. However, each one of them had someone to comfort them. Chica was currently on the phone with her two children, and Toy Freddy was doing all he could to comfort Toy Chica who seemed to feel guilty of something. Feeling something behind him he looked around and noticed the spirits of the departed children had come to visit.
"You're all alone!" the child that formerly haunted Chica spoke.
Bon nodded and patted the girls head, "I don't mind though, I'm used to it."
The spirits didn't seem too happy with this answer though, but given the time they told the rabbit they would return to play with him eventually. Bon gave a faint sigh of relief and finally went back to sleep, the place would be opening in a few hours. What had him confused though was why everyone kept fretting over him.
He wasn't some frail porcelain doll that would shatter with just a small breeze. True he felt like a mess, and wished somehow his broken "heart" could be repaired, but there was nothing to be done. He just needed to get through Bonnie's repair time, and try to get along with this "replacement" he had heard about.
After all, how hard could it be to get along with another rabbit?
