Foxy's eyes light up, filling the dark room with it. He looks around. Finding himself alone. He wasn't used to it, despite what had been happening, he knew Vix would be asleep here anyway. Where was she?
Foxy stood up and looked to the entrance. He walked over, drew the curtain and slowly dropped down from the stage. He looked at the clock: 11:32.
The others wouldn't be awake for about half an hour.
Foxy looked over to the security office. Surprised to see the lights on. He immediately knew it was Vix from the shadow on the wall. He walked over and leaned against the door.
"Hey." He said quietly.
Vix just glanced at him, then sighed. She threatened to close the door on him. He just glared at Vix, making her put her arm back down onto her legs.
"Hi."
Foxy smirked.
"I feel like I'm meeting you for the first time again. Like-"
"You felt butterflies didn't you.." Vix interrupted him.
Foxy nodded. "Yeah. You still give me butterflies now." He tried to flirt a little.
Vix saw right through it and sighed. "Foxy..."
He looked down at the floor, scratching his ear.
"Yeah... yeah I know I'm sorry. I just can't help it you know..."
"It's just irritating me now so stop it. If I feel better I'll come back to you but at the moment I just need a break. I feel like it's too intimate. It's not like we can do anything together. And you stress me out. A lot..."
Foxy's ears dropped. And he sighed.
"I don't get it but I'll leave you alone for a bit, I guess..." Foxy walked off, not looking back. He didn't want to irritate Vix anymore than he has.
...
"I don't get it." Foxy said to Red,
"It's just confusing. I don't understand how she can just lose feelings for me. Like..."
"I don't know either, Foxy. It's very confusing. I honestly don't believe that she's the right girl for you. I know you wouldn't believe me now but if we were months down the line you'd understand where I'm coming from."
Foxy nodded slightly. Not really agreeing with Red, but knew that he knew best.
"You still love her don't you?" Red asked Foxy.
Foxy nodded. "A lot. I just don't think she loves me anymore."
"She does Foxy. She's going to regret this. You know that. You're the best thing that's ever happened to that girl, and without you she'd be lost. I just don't think that right now she can love anyone properly. I think the problem here Foxy is that she can't love herself. You know what I mean right?" Red titled his head.
"Yeah, yeah I do. She just needs time. I'll give her time... I just can't stand not talking to her."
"I know what you mean Foxy. Just take it slow. She'll come back to you when she believes in herself again."
Foxy nodded a little more this time. A tear slipped down his cheek which he promptly wiped away, and he stood up out of the backstage area and went to the Cove. He found Vix asleep in the Cove, and he just slipped past her and sat down a couple feet from her. He leaned against the wall and looked at her once more before going back to sleep...
Red could be seen sat down in the middle of the hall. He was cross legged, and seemed conflicted. He twitches a little, and looked towards a dark corner of the room. He closes his eyes, and suddenly the whole room is blackened. A small pulsating light comes from the corner of the room where Red had looked.
Red himself appears in the opposite corner of the room. He opens his eyes and stands up.
He was in his own little realm. This was what everything looked like when he was invisible.
It's where Nightmare lived, too.
He could physically see, as well as speak to him, however Red and Nightmare could not touch each other. Their bodies would just through one another.
"You've been gone a while." Nightmare's voice echoed throughout the darkness.
"Yeah. I have. I've been with some old friends, and met some new ones too."
Nightmare just laughs as his red eyes appear out of the darkness.
"You think they're your friends?"
"Enough taunting. You know it doesn't get through to me."
Nightmare smirks as he emerges from the dark.
Red could feel Nightmare's presence, and knew then that something bad will happen.
"You won't be able to control me for long." Red threatened Nightmare's advance.
"This time will be different, actually." Nightmare grinned. He disappeared, and the restaurant changed back to normal, with Red still sat in the centre cross legged.
His eyes open to reveal Nightmare's red ones. And a grin forms across Red's face.
"I'm back."
