Freddy: Wait a minute, mayday guys and gals, We left BAHN BAHN!
Ballora: And my girls!
Baby: And my Bidybabs!
Foxy: *whistling non-conspiratorially*
OH MY GOD, THIS WAS SO FUNNY. I'm not just saying that be nice, I actually laughed out loud at this, especially when Foxy starts whistling. I'm might actually put this scene in the fanfiction...

Omg, this is hilarious XD I love it! Can't wait for more!
(GASP! THANK YOU!)
And I was wondering, I remembered this little animation on DeviantArt, /art/How-to-eat-like-a-human-640617812 , and I was wondering if you could do something like this when they get to the city, but instead of a hamburger, it could be something else, like ice cream or a cupcake.
(Not sure if Baby would want to go near ice cream after the incident.)
Hm...well I did have a plan about the animatronics eating ice-cream for the first time but it I could make it that they eat something before...sure! The animation was hilarious

I almost want the old animatronics from 1-4 to find bonbon...that would be adorable...
Cool idea but I've already got plans for the 1-4 animatronics ;) believe me, they are going to be making an appearance ;););)
And I already know what I'm going to do with Bonbon too, I'm not writing them out the story forever, I just have this scenario in mind when Bonbon is ab- WAIT NO SPOILERS.
But that would be freaking gosh darn adorable...
I'll think about it.

Ennard got up, Baby putting her arm on Foxy's leg to make they didn't spring upwards again while Ballora gracefully stood up on her leg.
"War flashbacks..." whispered Freddy, still shaken by their rolling adventures.
"Alright everyone," said Baby. "we are about to interact with humans, remember not to walk too quickly Foxy, Ballora won't be able to keep up with you. Ballora, don't be too grateful. Freddy maybe don't talk too much. Me, do not acknowledge her. I hope we do OK."
"I shall try," said Baby.
"OKKKKKKK!" yelled Freddy.
"Alright," said Foxy. They were silent for a moment. "Freddy talk?"
"Well, he's the only boy here and seeing as we're disguised a man, us having a female voice would be rather strange," answered Baby.
"Everything about us is rather strange," Ballora replied.
RINGGGGGGGG RINGGGGGGGGGG
"A telephone?" asked Baby.
"A tell-what? said Freddy.
Baby reached her hand into one of William's pockets and brought and a buzzing telephone before handing it to Ballora's left hand. Freddy lifted his arm to look at it.
"Answer it, and sound serious," said Baby. "Someone will start to talking to you then you answer back."
Freddy looked at the phone like it might bite. Baby reached over and pressed the 'pick-up' button.
"Um hello, hello?" came a man's voice.
Freddy didn't say anything.
"No silly, you're supposed to say something!" whispered Baby, though Freddy couldn't hear.
"Do you think Freddy can actually make a good impression?" asked Ballora.
"No," said Foxy.
"Helloooooo?" asked William.
Except it wasn't. It was Freddy? He was actually pretty good at it, sounding like the purple wearing technician almost exactly, actually...exactly.
"Will?" asked the man.
"YES I AM A WILL, A VERY NORMAL HUMAN MAN AHAHAHAHAHAHA," said Freddy. "Oh, and also William."
"Good to know...?" said the man. "Anyway, it's Charlie. I have a job offer for you."
"Ohhhh a 'job' offerrrr," said Freddy. "Yes, I know of this job offer you speak of, continue."
"A company called Fazbear Entertainment just bought the rights to Fredbear's Family Diner, and want to open another restaurant, it's going to be called Freddy's Fazbear's Pizzeria, you know, to not get bad publicity. What can go wrong?"
Charlie laughed a bit too loudly.
"Anyway, as for your job offer...we need to someone to keep the animatronic in check, and seeing as you're a technician, you're the perfect fit! Just watch over the parties and make sure everything's alright. £325 a week. What do ya say?" said Charlie.
"Hmmmmmm," went Freddy, though everyone there knew the answer. "Thanks, but I'm not going within 20 meters of that place."
"But-" said Charlie.
"No thank you."
"Urgh fine, but call back if you change your mind Will."
"I'm called William."
"I'll stop calling you Will as soon as you stop calling me Phone Guy."
Charlie hung up.
"Good job Freddy," said Baby. "How do you such a good impression?"
"YAYYYYYYYYYYYY! I was made to mimic people's voices, remember?" said Freddy.
"That appears to be true," answered Ballora.
"Alright," said Baby. "Let's g-"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Freddy.
"Please could you stop with the screaming, my ears are very fragile," said Ballora.
"WE FORGOT BAHN BAHN!" yelled Freddy. "I REMEMBERED I FORGOT HER ON THE HILL! MAY DAY, MAY DAYYYYYYY!"
"I forgot my minireenas!" said Ballora.
"I forgot my Bidybabs!" said Baby. "We were in such a rush to get out of here we forgot! Hey, wait..."
Foxy whistled non-conspiratorially.
"Foxy..." began Baby. "Weren't YOU supposed to get them?"
Foxy continued whistling.
Ballora sighed while Freddy started noisily crying over the loss of his little bunny friend.
"Calm down Freddy, we can get them later," said Baby.
Freddy sniffed. "Really?"
"Really. When it's Monday, we go in for William's shift and rescue them, easy peasy."
"OK," said Freddy. "But one question..."
"Yes?" asked Baby.
"What's a 'Monday'?"
"Talking to himself the nutter..." mumbled a man in a suit as he walked past.
"AH A HUMAN!" said Freddy.
"This early?" questioned Ballora. "I thought everyone would be asleep."
"Asleep?" said Baby, puzzled. "Oh well, let's go and..."
Her voice trailed off.
"And..." Foxy repeated in a questioning tone.
"Actually I'm not sure what we're going to do," said Baby. She giggled. "We can jump off a cliff!"
"Please don't tell that's going to be a joke around here now," said Ballora.
"That's a joke around here now," said Foxy.
"Urgh."
"Well, let's start walking I guess," said Baby, bracing herself.
She did so because walking really came down to Foxy and Ballora as they controlled the legs but Ballora would try to move gracefully, Ennard's feet barely touching the ground as she moved while Foxy took strides, big and quick. The contrasting differences meant Ballora would have her leg twisted backward and at some point, the two would trip over each other and end up on the ground, Freddy asking why they were giving the floor a hug.
So Foxy attempted to move slower while Ballora tried to walk a bit more normally and Ennard, though they were switching pace constantly, and sometimes lifted their leg very high just to take one step though they would shuffle forwards the next and were leaning backwards as they walked, started to head through the city, getting only a few odd glances.
Freddy started humming, while Baby started murmuring things under her breath presumably to the little girl she said she could see.
It was Foxy who in the end spotted it, waving their hand around in that direction until the others looked that way.
None of them could read, Ballora couldn't even see, but there was a huge sticker of a cupcake on a window of a shop which instantly made them walk inside.
Inside there were rows and rows of brightly frosted cupcakes and other vibrant baked goods.
"A little early isn't it?" asked a woman, walking behind the counter. She had long black hair swept into a ponytail and dark green eyes. "I only left the door open because I was bringing the ordered ingredients to make the fresh batch today."
Baby jabbed a finger at the glass casing separating her from the sugary goodness of cupcakes.
"Yep, I've already made a head start on the baking," said the woman, not understanding. "I need to carry in some ingredients I ordered."
"I'LL HELP!" suddenly blurted out Freddy, making the rest of Ennard and the woman jump.
"Really? Well, thanks," she said. "Follow me around the back."
Foxy jumped over the counter onto the other side and began to reach out for a cupcake...Baby slapped their hand away.
Ennard followed the woman around the back and through the kitchens, which reminded Foxy of a funny story they'd forgotten to tell everyone when they had walked into a kitchen and a chef was so spooked they had thrown soup at Foxy then fainted. But then Foxy remembered the electric shock they had received for it and remembered why they hadn't told anyone.
Ennard stepped back outside only to be met with the woman pushing a box into the arms.
"Name's Tiffany but Tiff is fine," she said before picking up a box herself. "What about you?"
"We are-"
Freddy stopped.
"'We'?" said Tiff.
"Weaw. My name is Weaw," Freddy blurted out, if he'd hadn't of been a robot a bead of sweat would've been rolling down his forehead.
"Weaw, huh? Can't say I've heard of that one," said Tiff, starting to unpack various tubes of sprinkles onto a shelf. "Give me your box, then get another."
Baby handed it over and walked back out.
"Well...she seems nice enough," said Ballora once they were out of ear-shot. She bent down as Baby wrapped her arm around the next box.
"She has cupcakes!" said Freddy, as if having cupcakes was the quality all good people have.
"We don't seem too suspicious at the moment," said Baby. "And..."
She laughed, quite loudly.
Foxy made a questioning sound.
"Weaw. She thinks our name is Weaw."
"I WAS UNDER PRESSURE!"
"Maybe we should pick another name for ourselves..." said Baby thoughtfully. "Any ideas?"
"Well maybe we should stick to William Afton, right now we do look like him," contributed Ballora.
"Something classy!" added Freddy. "Like...Freddy?"
"Freddy?" asked Tiff, stepping back out. "Who's that?"
"Someone classy."
"Huh. Anyway, you were laughing so I wondered what was up," she said.
"Um there was..." began Freddy.
"A mouse," whispered Baby.
"...A mouse! And it was..."
"Dancing," said Ballora.
"...Dancing?"
"A dancing mouse?" said Tiff. "You're a strange guy, Weaw."
"Well that's the last of them!" said Tiff, placing the last box of eggs from a box into the fridge. "Thanks for helping."
"Yay we did it!" exclaimed Freddy.
"We sure did," Tiff said, walking back behind the counter. "Here, take this, for your effort."
She handed Ennard a cupcake with green icing.
Freddy stared at it.
"This is the bit when you say, 'oh, thanks'," said Tiff jokingly.
"Oh, thanks."
Ennard slowly raised their cupcake upwards...
Then shoved it in their face.
"Well, that went well!"
"Freddy, she shouted at us to get out of her bakery."
"But we did get a cupcake."
"We didn't get to taste it, though. As it turns out, smearing a cupcake all over your face is not how you eat."
"But the children always have food smeared on their faces," recalled Baby. "I don't know what we did wrong. Now where can we cleaned up...ah-hah!"
She pointed out a public restroom sign.
"We can wash our face there!"
Ennard walked in and saw two doors, one with a sign with a pink lady and another with a blue man.
They headed through and looked at the tap questioningly before figuring out you had to turn the knob, but did so fiercely when it suddenly came splashing through they a small scream.
Ennard splashed the cold water on their face and looked up.
It was a weird experience, seeing someone in a mirror who you don't recognize but they're you.
Then they felt buzzing around their face, as electricity and water mixed and quickly dried their face again.
They stole one last looked at the mirror as a woman stepped out of a cubicle and slapped them across the face with her handbag.
Running out of there, Ballora leapt forwards which caused Ennard to fall flat on their face.
Then it started to rain lightly.
"How many times are we going to hug the floor?" asked Freddy.
Baby pushed herself up with the one arm.
"Rain," she muttered.
"Why that tap water does make me feel funny enough," said Ballora.
"That's because you got it into your eyes, where it could mix with your endoskeleton. Actually, more like, our endoskeleton. But no one but us needs to know that of course."
"Why does no one like us?" Foxy asked.
"Yes, everyone does seem to be shouting at us today," said Ballora. "Maybe we just need to to adapt."
But nobody said anything.
Ennard got up, leaning against the wall for support and started to walk off again, but slipped on the damp ground.
They tried again but was met with the same response, until they gave up, lying on the ground as the rain poured down harder.
Nobody said anything, and there was only silence as they grew wetter and wetter and the wiring in them began to twitch.
They couldn't adapt to the world by themselves.
And now they were lying in the rain.
"Hey."
Suddenly the rain stopped falling and Ennard finally looked up.
"Giving the floor a hug, Weaw?" asked Tiff, leaning over with her umbrella.
"YES!" said Freddy. "I think so anyway."
"It's pouring, what do you think you're doing?" she continued. "Shouldn't you find some shelter, or go home?"
Ennard didn't say anything.
"Urgh," said Tiff. "Look, I was out looking for you because I felt bad about shouting at you, even if you did crush a perfectly good cupcake into your face after I gave it to you FREE OF CHA-"
Tiff took a deep breath.
"-So, uhhh, seeing as you're lying in the rain, wanna go back to the bakery with me until the storm passes?"
Ballora nodded.
"Cool."
Tiffany helped Ennard up.
"Oh, thanks."
The two, yet 5, stood underneath the umbrella and started strolling off.
"So...are we friends?" asked Freddy, getting the question off his chest.
"Well we've known eachother for like, 10 minutes and you kinda insulted me," said Tiff. "But hey, bake me something and I'll forgive you. But yeah why not, we can be friends."
Freddy gasped happily then thought hard. "Like apology muffins?"
"Sure."
Maybe it was true, Ennard couldn't adapt to the world by themself.
But nobody said they had to do it by themself.
THIS TOOK WAY LONGER THAN I EXPECTED MUCH SOZZZZZ
Now this was more of a setting up chapter for the rest of the story, which explains why nothing much happened in this one but I SWEAR IT'LL GET BETTER. They can go attempt to bake, go star watching or win the lottery, who knowssssss
Every chapter is now going to be 'Ennard sucks at _'
And back to le Bonbonnnnnnn
Bonbon crawled out of the scooping room and down the hall. It was weird, having to drag themself around, usually, she had just instructed Freddy where to go and she'd be there quick enough.
Bonbon wondered what her bear friend was up to.
'Who's going to keep in check?' she thought despairingly to herself. 'Who will tell him to go to sleep?'
Bonbon was determined to get out of there.
But if only she could figure out how...
BONBON HAS THEIR OWN MINI-STORY NOW JESUS
P.S It's half past 12 and I don't feel sleepy
