4)I'm sorry for Foxy's pirate speech. I don't know how to speak "pirate" well.
Ever since he was seven years old, Mike was a loyal costumer of the Freddy Fazbear pizzeria. His parents always took him there to celebrate his birthdays and about twice a month and when he got good grades. His parents, Anthony and Karen, had thought it was just a brief phase in the boy's life.
But years passed by and his interest in the pizzeria hadn't diminished in the slightest. The boy wasn't interested in the pizza per se. It tasted good, but what he liked the most was the main attraction in the establishment: the animatronics.
Most of kids wanted to come back for the same reason.
Mike had pretty much memorized every song Freddy, Chica and Bonnie sang during the shows. He liked those songs, but he liked another attraction at the pizzeria more. A small place called Pirate's cove.
There, an animatronic fox performed on a stage to a group of children. On the stage, there were a few pirate themed decoration. There was a small boat with a black flag with crossed bones, a treasure chest full of plastic yellow coins and a quite realistic fake canon with black balls next to it.
The Fox was telling a tale about one of his "adventures". Some of the older kids obviously didn't believe in his stories, but they were very interesting nonetheless.
The audience wasn't that big at the moment, but Foxy always gave his best in his stories: "And there I was, surrounded by Blackbeard's crew. They were five and were after my loot. I fended myself with me sword and hook. I blocked the sword attack from one with my hook and disarmed him. Then I kicked him out of me ship. I then gave the next one a haircut that even their mother would call them pretty anymore."
The children giggled at the joke. Foxy's mechanic jaw gave a smile seeing that he was entertaining them as he continued: "The third one tried to stab me from behind, but I heard his steps and quickly turned to parry with him. We exchanged many attacks as the other two Blackbeard lackeys tried to find an opening to strike me."
Foxy did several motions with his hands as if he was carrying a sword to better give the kids a mental image of the fight.
"But I dodged one of his attacks, used me hook to grab him by the belt and threw him against another of his mates, knocking them both unconscious. As for the fifth one, well, let's say he needed to change his pants afterwards." The robot finished his tale with a wink earning more laughter from his audience.
As if it was on cue, the band was about to begin another of their own presentations and the attention of the crowd gravitated towards them. But before they left, they all were saying how Foxy's story was amazing and funny.
The robot was happy that he please his audience, but he felt sad that the kids didn't stick around with him to ask for more story or just plain talk. However, Foxy noticed that there was one kid still in front of the Pirate Cove. It was his number one fan.
"If it isn't me best matey, Mike. How are ye' doing?" Fox greeted him cheerfully at the now ten year old while getting down the stage.
The animatronics were allowed to wander around the pizzeria and interact with the children. Mr. Fazbear often guaranteed the parents that the kids were one hundred percent safe around the robots.
The boy smiled back at him and said: "I'm doing great! And what about you? Your story was awesome as always."
"I'm doin' pretty well too, matey. I'm glad ye enjoyed my tale. I hope ye will like me next ones too." Foxy replied with a smile.
"I'm sure I'll!" The boy said cheerfully. But then he gave a quite interesting question to Foxy: "Foxy, can you tell me when it's your birthday?"
The robot paused for a while processed the boy's question: "Me…birthday? I…don't have a birthday, Mikey…I ain't human like ye."
The boy frowned as he said: "I know you are a robot, Foxy. But you act, think and feel. I know that. I've known you for years now…I'm sorry for not asking this earlier. But I wanted to celebrate your birthday too. You've sang to mine. I would like to do the same for you."
Foxy felt a strange warmth inside of him. It wasn't a bad feeling. It was quite pleasant actually. The robot was happy that the boy cared this much about him, but he didn't know the day he was born, or better yet built and he told the boy that.
"Then, when were you turned on the first time? Do you remember?" Mike insisted.
The robot stopped and examined his memories once more and replied: "Me data says it was on July 8th of 1981."
"That's a week from now." Mike said out loud surprised.
Foxy smiled and said: "It's okay, mate. I'm thankful for yer' intentons, but ye don't need to make a big deal out of it. I'm just a robot, after all."
Mike furiously shook his head and said: "No, you are not! You aren't just some machine. I know that. I know that the four of you can feel and think. Just because you don't look human, it doesn't mean you shouldn't be treated as such."
Foxy was genuinely confused for a while, but he knew the boy meant good. "Well, Mike, I'm really thankful for yer words, but ye' don't need to overthink that much."
However the boy wasn't satisfied with that answer and his expression clearly showed that. "How about this, how about ye give me another drawing. Ye knows that I like yer drawings."
The boy hummed and said: "Alright then. I hope you'll enjoy my drawing, then."
Foxy smiled and said: "Thanks, lad. I bet it'll be fantastic."
Both of then smiled and spent around an hour just talking about the stuff they've done since the last time they've met. Foxy really enjoyed these conversations. It wasn't often he could just talk to anyone about…stuff. His opinion on the new decorations and other people, vent a little bit about the pressure Freddy and the others putty on him.
He cared about Freddy, Bonnie and Chica as his brothers and sister. But sometimes they went a bit overboard during night time, which was when they practiced any new show, song, or overall anything.
The independence day was coming and Freddy was making them train very hard all night long for the special they were planning for the day.
Mike frowned a little bit because he would like to see that, but his family had already planned a picnic. Too bad he couldn't attend to both. However, one thing was bugging him.
Since when did robots had to rehearse they presentations? Sure, Foxy did mention this a few times, but he had always thought if it wouldn't be better to simply have everything they needed for the show programmed into them.
But Mike liked this. It made them look even more human.
After Mike left, Foxy got ready for other presentations and entertained kids until night time. However, one thought plagued his mind. 'When is my birthday? When was I created?'
He knew the day he started working, but not the one he was assembled. And, as much as he didn't want to admit, he considered the later as his "true" birthday. But he tried to dismiss the whole thing. After all, he was just a robot. He celebrated the kids birthdays and made them happy. He shouldn't worry about such a thing. He was just a robot, after all.
'Then why this bothers me so much.'
He tried to bury such thoughts and focus on his job. That was until July 8th arrived. Mike had managed to convince his parents to take him again to the pizzeria under the excuse to see if the decoration of the independence day was still on so he could see.
The boy's parents ended up agreeing with it, but under the condition that they wouldn't visit the place again until next month. After all, money didn't grow on trees.
But they boy had to wonder 'Isn't money made of paper and paper comes from trees? Then why is money so expensive?'
Part of the decoration was still there. The place had many American Flags, even some smaller ones over the tables. From what the boy had heard the animatronics did an re-enactment of the independence day with Freddy as George Washington, Bonnie as Benjamin Franklin, Foxy as Thomas Jefferson and Chica as Betsy Ross. Well, according with the employees they've had some liberties with the story since they didn't have enough people for the play and some employees were a bit hesitant in going to the stage with the animatronics.
While Mike's parents got a table and ordered for their pizza, Mike stormed to the Pirate's Cove while he took a small package wrapped in blue paper from his pocket.
Foxy was, thankfully alone staring at the Independence Day decoration while he elaborated new stories.
"Hey, Foxy." Said Mike from behind him with a huge grin on his face.
The robot hadn't expected Mike to return so soon and was happy to see his friend again. "Hello there, matey. How are yer doin'?" then he saw the package Mike was holding and before he could ask what it was, Mike said while extingind the gift to him with both of his hands.
"Happy birthday, Foxy!"
Foxy blinked twice as his bright yellow eyes looked extremely confused. "Me…birthday?" he stammered.
Mike nodded and said: "Yep! Today is your birthday, remember?"
Foxy then recorded his previous conversation with Mike and he was dumb fold that the boy had bought him something: "But, Mike, didn't I tell you to just give me a drawing? Ye didn't need to spend money with ol' Foxy."
Mike then shook his head and said: "No. You are my friend. I had some money from my allowance and I wished I could have given you something better. But here it is."
Foxy slowly reached this gift with his left hand and then turned his hook sideways and placed the gift over it to allow his left hand to unwrap the gift. Inside of it there was a small case and inside there was a necklace with a skull and crossed bones very similar to the one in his flag, since it was a generic symbol for pirates.
"Did you like it? I was honestly in doubt to what to give to you. I know you are a pirate, but I wasn't so sure if you wanted a pirate themed gift, but I thought you would like it. But if you didn't, I guess I can go back to the store to exchange it." Mike said a bit unsure seeing the robot's open jaw looking astonished at it.
But, after hearing that, Foxy came out of his trance and quickly told the boy: "No, Mike. I mean. I loved this. Thank you. It's just…nobody gave any of us any gift like this…"
Then Foxy gave Mike a tight hug, who then returned the gesture to the robot. Foxy felt something strange inside of him. He didn't know what it was. It was warm and nice, but scared as well because it was growing and growing…
Until the warm feeling turned into a cold void.
Suddenly, Foxy shrieked very loud and before Mike could ask what was wrong, Foxy bit him hard sideways.
The boy then screamed and kept yelling begging Foxy to let him go, but the jaws tightened up a little bit and the boy squirmed to get free. This called the attention of everyone at the pizzeria, even the other animatronics who came all running to see what was happening.
They all were horrified at the scene of Foxy biting the kid's head with blood soaking Mike's shirt. The employees quickly came and opened Foxy's back to shut him down quickly, but the boy had already suffered enough damage to make him fain.
His parents were horrified and quickly grabbed their son and left the pizzeria straight to a hospital.
The employees dragged Foxy behind the curtains of the Pirate's Grove and placed him there rather quickly.
Other kids who had come there to see what the commotion was about had started to scream and some even to cry at the scene of Fox biting Mike and at the sight of the bleeding boy.
Freddy, Bonnie and Chica tried to calm them down by saying everything was going to be fine and claiming it had been just an accident. However, pretty much most the parents grabbed their children and dragged them away from the robots claiming that they could hurt their kids as well. Some even claimed to never step in the pizzeria again.
This whole ordeal broke the hearts of the other three animatronics who couldn't believe that Foxy would harm a kid like that…
It didn't take long until the owner of the establishment appeared and tried to calm down the clients and offered them all refunds from what they've had already paid and promised them he would take care of everything.
Mr. Fazbear then turned to the other animatronics and told them to go backstage and wait there to prevent any sort of confusion.
"But, sir, we didn't do anything bad!" Chica tried to plead her boss.
But the man was adamant. He approached them and said whispering so only them could her: "Please, go. We don't want them thinking you could be harmful to kids."
"But we would never…" Freddy tried to defend his friends only to receive a hard glare from the man.
"Yes, sir…Let's go, everyone." Freddy said defeated. The animatronic bear felt anger rising through his circuits. He would not forgive Foxy for harming a defensless child.
Once Mr. Fazbear had made everyone leave the room, he wondered how he would handle the situation. Then he noticed a small object on the floor near the small pool of blood. He kneeled down to see what it was and picked it up.
Foxy had dropped the gift Mike had bought him. Mr. Fazbear sighed deeply as he picked it up and put it inside of his pocket, not really sure of what he should do with it.
At midnight, Foxy finally managed to reboot himself. He was a bit confused as of why he was sitting at the backstage of the Pirate's Cove. 'Is it night time already?' he thought as he analyzed his internal clock to discover it was 12:35 a.m.
'Why was I offline for so long?' he couldn't help but to wonder.
He got up and left his stage to look for the others: "Freddy, Bonnie, Chica? Where are ye' all?" he shouted as he searched for his friends.
The other had heard the fox's voice and went straight to meet him. "Hey, lads and lass, do ye know what…"
But his was cut midsentence because Freddy had hit his face with a punch from his right hand. The impact had caused a bit of damage in his jaw preventing it from fully closing anymore.
"HOW COULD YOU?" Freddy shouted suddenly being held from behind by Bonnie.
Foxy was a bit dizzy as his circuits adjusted from the sudden impact, once he recovered he got up quite fast and he was angry at the way Freddy was acting. "What's yer problem?" he shouted.
"What's my problem? MY PROBLEM? You almost killed a child, you monster!"
Foxy paused for what seemed for almost a minute and then he finally said: "What are ye talking about?"
"Please don't try to pretend you're innocent, Foxy. The sole reason I don't let Freddy pound your face is because it wouldn't solve a thing and it would cause us even more problems. I also can't believe that you would do something like this." Bonnie stated also angry at the pirate fox.
However, Foxy had no memory of what they were claiming: "Is this some kind of joke? I don't remember hutrin' any child. I would never do somethin' like that!" he spat getting tired of being accused of something so horrible.
Freddy tried to calm down a bit and asked: "Oh, yeah? What's the last thing you remember?"
Foxy stopped and thought for a while: "Well, I was trying to come up with some news for my show when my first matey, Mike, showed up and then…" he gave a bit of a pause as he tried to fill the gap, but he failed miserably at it. He couldn't understand why he had blacked out. "…I woke up. I did not hurt any kid! I would never do somethin' like that!"
Chica glared at him and said: " But it's true, Foxy! If you don't believe us, why don't we go watch the security tape. I've heard that the night security guy bailed after what you did, so there shouldn't be anyone there. Also, I don't think Mr. Fazbear has removed the tape yet. He wouldn't like to have an evidence that could cause him problem hanging around for long. So if it's there, we should go see it now."
"Aye. Let's see this tape and be done with it. I will show ye all that I be innocent." Foxy said truly thinking he was innocent.
The other three were all still angry, but now they were confused as well. They didn't think Foxy was lying about not remembering what he had done. However this didn't make anything better.
The four robots went to the security room and as Chica said there was nobody there. They then looked for the security tape from earlier that day and after searching, Bonnie found it and started playing it. The recording didn't have any sound and it was in black and white, but it wasn't necessary to have any anyway. They've skipped most of the recording until the part when Mike gad given him the gift. Then they saw Foxy acting like he was spacing out and then finally attacking Mike. They had stopped the footage right after Mike was taken by his parents.
'What?'
"You attacked a kid because he gave you a present?" Bonnie growled at him not sure himself if he would continue to restrain from hurting his former friend anymore.
'No. I didn't…'
"Any of us would have loved to be liked like that from a kid. And you hurt him because you didn't like a gift?" the robot bunny clenched his fists.
'Mike…I…'
Freddy clenched his mechanic jaws in hope he would control his anger, but reduced a little as he saw Foxy's disturbed expression.
"That…that can't be…I would never hurt Mike…" Foxy managed to say.
"You can't lie Foxy, not only we saw you biting him, we just have the physical evidence right here." Chica stated crossing her arms.
The pirate fox fell on his knees. He couldn't believe what he was watching. He couldn't accept it. He would never hurt a friend like that. And why didn't he remember anything about this?
"Do you have anything to say Foxy?" Freddy tried to press on.
However, Foxy then let out a loud and anguished scream that echoed through the pizzeria.
