Hello, guys! RM27 again!
I felt like I kind of lost my touch on Chapter 6... I was rushing to finish it. I'll try not to rush it again. (Although, there's a chance I might...)
But, somehow... I seemed to make a good chapter out of it anyway. You all liked it, right? So, I guess I can rest easy. :)
I also want to get this Thanksgiving idea going. Get it over.
So, here we go! I won't exactly cover every single detail of the Thanksgiving dinner. (Don't want to bore everyone now.) But, there's some parts I would like to write.
And, I'm starting to have a battle with Writer's Block... I have so many ideas floating in the air, but the work is putting them together. Stitching the pieces to make the story. It's a bit exhausting... It takes a few hours to write one chapter.
But, nonetheless, I'll keep going! For you all!
I hope you all enjoy!

Bonnie awoke with a yawn.
She stretched her arms out, reaching for the roof, and let them fall back on the bed lazily.
For a while, she laid there in her bed, thinking about tomorrow's Thanksgiving feast.
Today was her day off, everyone's day off. This she knew.
But, she didn't know what she was going to do today.
She rubbed a tired eye and turned her head to the side to look at her framed photo, taking it from its place on the lamp table to inspect it.
Bonnie smiled.
She wished her Cousin could be with her now, even if it was for only a while. She missed her cousin so much...
She wiped a tear and put it back in its proper place. She couldn't afford to have herself be sad now, it was barely morning.
Bonnie got up and picked up her bag, searching it.
She pulled out her cell phone and turned it on. There was something she had to check... She felt the twinge of anticipation arise within her. But, told herself not to get her hopes so high.
After it completely booted on, she examined the phone.
Her heart sank.
No signal.
There wasn't a single bar since her arrival at Freddy's house.
She probably owed the phone company some money or they didn't cover her out here.
Whatever the reason, she had no signal.
No way to call her cousin to tell her she was alright.
Sniffing and shoving away the thought, she got up.
She raised her hands to the air and stretched, yawning once more.
Bonnie was a bit tired.
But, Day off or not, she wasn't going to stay in bed all day.
She started putting away the bed and turning it back into a couch and examined the room around her.
Bonnie noticed that Chica's bed was well-made... Almost like Chica hadn't slept there last night.
She raised an eyebrow, confused.
Either Chica hadn't slept there or she was a really good bed-maker.
Not wanting to think too much about it, Bonnie grabbed some spare clothes to wear for today.
She chose a black long-sleeved shirt and some dark blue jeans.
Bonnie walked over to the bathroom to do her Morning routine.
It would probably be a long day, she wanted to get ready to face it.
She stepped into the shower and turned it on.
It was cold at first, almost making Bonnie scream in surprise.
She waited until it was warm enough before she went in.
She thought about last night. She remembered she now knew that Chica and Foxy were in some sort of secret relationship... Should she have asked Chica about it?
"Wait..." she reflected on last night... after she went to bed.
She recalled, Chica never came to the room.. Bonnie had the door closed and she didn't hear anyone enter.
Did it somehow have to do with Foxy's "Tonight" thing he told her? What was he talking about?
Bonnie thought some more as she grabbed the body wash and applied it.
She would have to investigate... Not that she wanted to.
After her shower, she stepped out and quickly got dressed.
The bathroom was usually cold and today was no exception.
She, then, went and brushed her teeth. Her thoughts went back to Freddy, As always.
Bonnie was getting used to it by now. She blushed a shade of red just thinking about the Bear.
He had her heart.
Curse his Gentleman-like personality and warm kindness that he always tried to hide.
Bonnie giggled softly.
Freddy had some secret side he didn't let many people know about. He had shown it to her a few times., that was something she loved about him.
She loved him...
The thought danced around her mind like a fly.
But, how would she tell him about her feelings towards him...?
She threw water over her face, dried herself and glanced at her reflection in the mirror.
She didn't look too bad, that was a good sign.
Bonnie never cared about Fashion.
But, a thought came to mind...
"Maybe... I can get his attention somehow...?" She asked herself, scanning her facial features.
From her, relatively, large ears to her dark small nose.
"But, h-how can I get him to notice me...?" She wondered.
As far as she knew, she hadn't completely 'swayed' Freddy.
Brushing some bit of hair away from her eyes, Bonnie thought a little more.
She never considered herself attractive or unattractive, she didn't really care for her looks unless it was a formal event or something similar.
Bonnie wondered if Freddy cared about looks.
Did he prefer attractive women?
She figured he didn't.
He didn't seem like that kind of man, but, she just might never know...
Looking over at the cosmetics and make-up that littered the sink. An idea started to form. She raised an eyebrow in interest. A small smirk formed on her face.
Chica wouldn't really mind, right? Bonnie would have to make an excuse for later.
But, for now, she would do she what she could do...
Freddy got dressed in his usual attire.
Work day or not, he wore the usual Fazbear style of clothes.
He rolled up his sleeves and checked the mirror to make sure his fur was looking at least okay.
He woke up this morning with the messiest hair he ever had.
But, in the end, he had to laugh. Not everyday his hair would be out-of-place.
Freddy smirked to his reflection. He had tried to put it as normal as he could. He wasn't an expert with hair... But, he tried.
It wasn't that noticable like before, it'd have to do.
Freddy walked out of his room silently, his thoughts reflecting on his dream.
He blushed and smiled.
Scratching his head, he recalled the kiss he shared... with Bonnie.
That would be something he would never forget.
"Morning, Chica." He greeted the Chicken, as he went to get the coffee maker started.
Chica was multitasking.
Trying to make a quick breakfast and writing down on a list pasted on the Fridge.
"Oh, Haya, Fred! Did you sleep well?" Chica greeted back with a bit of sweetness in her voice, allowing herself to smirk.
Freddy paused for a moment, confused and surprised.
He felt his heart pound.
Chica had never asked him such a thing.
He couldn't understand why he just suddenly became nervous.
"Somewhat. Thank you." He responded as calmly as he could.
Chica grinned.
It took everything she had to keep herself from squealing in joy.
This secret was too good for her to know.
She put away the and grabbed the list, checking to make sure she had it all written down.
Freddy served himself some coffee into a white mug with a "Fitzgerald's Flashlights and electricity Co." printed on the side.
He leaned on the counter and held his coffee with one hand, while using his other hand to hold the elbow of the first arm.
He never remembered where on earth he got the mug, but it was a good mug and that was enough for him.
He watched Chica and took sips from his coffee.
"Hey, Fred?" Chica finally spoke, not looking up from her list.
"Hmm?" Freddy took another sip.
"You mind if Foxy comes with me to the store?"
Chica let a sinister smile take form.
But, she hid it with the list.
The shopping itself would take 3-4 hours total, not including traffic.
That would leave Freddy enough time alone... With Bonnie...
She silently snickered.
This was diabolical on a few levels, that she knew.
But, she absolutely loved the idea of Freddy being together with Bonnie.
Freddy raised his eyebrows at the question.
Usually, Chica would go by herself.
He also connected the dots. If Foxy were to go with Chica... The only other person here would be...
His heart skipped a beat at this realization. He would be alone with Bonnie...
He gulped and tried his best to look like he was thinking it over.
But, Chica could see past his act. That confirmed that he was nervous around Bonnie.
"Well? Can he, Freddy? I'll keep him out of trouble for a while." She looked up and motioned with her pen.
Freddy didn't respond at first. Seconds passed before he did.
"... Only if he wants to." Freddy replied. Taking another sip, using the mug to hide his blush and looking away.
Chica giggled. "Okay. I'll go ask him." She left Freddy alone in the kitchen.
Freddy didn't really enjoy Foxy's company.
He never did; They were complete opposites.
But, at the moment, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Foxy would refuse.
Anything, but to have him stay home alone with Bonnie.
The family wouldn't come until tonight, that would leave him a couple of hours.
Even in his nervousness and hoping that he wouldn't get stuck alone with Bonnie, some part of him felt this was the perfect opportunity to impress Bonnie.
He blushed a bright red and sipped his coffee.
Chica knocked on the door to Foxy's 'Cove' and waited.
Foxy later opened the door. He was only in his dark yellow pants, leaving his torso bare.
"Oy, Chica! Uh... Do ye need something?" Foxy answered, looking a bit tired.
Chica blushed as she gazed her eyes over his chest.
Foxy had a nice built. Not too thin, but not too buff either. Just what she liked in a man...
"Um... y-yes. Can I... oh, uh... come in?" Chica smiled weakly and tried not to stare.
Foxy looked around outside the room and nodded. Letting her in.
Chica took a deep breath as soon as she stepped in.
"Foxy... Can y-you put on a sh-shirt, please?" She held her hands to her face, attempting to hide her blush.
She turned her back away from him.
Foxy raised an eyebrow in confusion and looked down at his bare torso.
"Oh! I-I be so sorry, L-Lass!" Foxy desperately searched for a spare shirt.
Chica held her hand out, holding a white shirt.
She still had her back turned.
Foxy looked at it for a moment and snatched it from her hand.
"Th-Thank ye, Chica. Sorry." Foxy apologized.
He put on the shirt before answering the tomato-red chicken.
"So... You needed something, Lass?" He asked as cooly as he could try to make it.
But, things were already off to an awkward start.
Chica turned slowly to face him. She was still red in the face and she continued her attempts to hide it.
"Um..." Chica couldn't find the words she was looking for. She fiddled with her fingers.
"Well?" Foxy crossed his arms. He looked at Chica, concerned.
But, he was a shade of pink himself.
"Will you c-come to the store with me?" She finally said.
Foxy tilted his head. He arched his eyebrows, confused.
"That's it? Why, Lass?"
Chica motioned for him to come closer.
Foxy obeyed.
She leaned him towards her so she could whisper into his ear.
Foxy's eyes widened in shock while Chica whispered.
"... Ye're not pulling me leg, are ye?" He asked, shocked.
Chica shook her head.
Foxy scratched the back of his head.
His eyes wide with shock and surprise, he looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"He said it in his sleep. He was sleeping differently than usual. In fact, he's been more different since Bonnie came. I just know he's in love with Bonnie! And if you come to the store with me, that'll leave them more than enough time alone together." Chica smiled sweetly, grabbing Foxy's arm.
Foxy closed his eyes in thought.
"And if you come... you can help me pick out some new... clothes" Chica made sure to place more weight on the last word, she smirked.
Foxy's eyes opened quickly.
"Clothes shopping, eh?" He thought.
"... Alright, ye got me, Lass." He grinned.
Chica placed a kiss on his cheek and winked. "I'll see you then." She replied. And left the room.
Foxy grinned. He had no idea what Chica was planning by doing this, but he didn't want to pass up getting himself some time with her all day.
Bonnie looked up at the mirror.
"Okay..." She breathed.
She had re-styled her eyelashes and gave herself a tad of eye shadow. She also applied some lipstick.
But, she felt silly. She had never used make-up in her life, but she had seen her cousin use it. So, she knew what she was doing.
All the make-up on her face just felt... odd...
"I-I hope I can at... ngh... at least get him to notice me... " She whispered.
Blushing at the thought of what she was about to do.
She lost her nerve a few times, but she kept attempting to keep herself going with this.
She blinked a few times to make sure everything at least looked right.
Her eyelashes fluttered along with each blink.
Bonnie drew a deep breath, her heart pounding with nervousness.
"Here goes e-everything..." She said to her reflection.
She left the bathroom.
But, when she arrived at the bedroom door, just as soon as she grabbed the door-knob, she hesitated.
What if she failed or messed up?
Bonnie took a step back. Her heart was pounding faster than ever before.
"I... I can't do it..." She brought her hands to her chest.
She closed her eyes tightly to keep tears from falling, her ears starting to droop down.
Why was she doing this...?
Then, her face lightened up. Her eyes widened. Her mouth parted in realization.
"Freddy... I'm doing th-this for.. oh, dear... No." She curled her hands into fists and looked up in determination.
"For F-Freddy" She stated.
That was all she needed to keep going.
She gathered every single piece of courage she had left. Bonnie grabbed the doorknob and opened the door.
Freddy held his hand, face-palming. And leaned back frustrated.
"Later, Fazbear!" Foxy called as he went out the door and closed it.
The one time he wanted Foxy around and he could not get even that...
"Why me...?" Freddy grumbled to himself.
He put down his mug of coffee and thought over his current situation. He crossed his arms and leaned on the counter.
He was home alone. With a woman he had strong feelings for...
Bonnie.
That was the last thing he wanted today.
But, some part felt... happy about it.
It was 10:12 AM. And she hadn't even gotten out of the room.
He felt obligated to go check on her to see if she was still sleeping.
Freddy fought the feeling.
She could be getting dressed for all he knew...
Freddy blushed madly after that last thought. He tried his hardest to get his mind out of the gutter.
He started walking towards Chica's room, almost against his will.
He started feeling sick to his stomach with every step he took.
"This is just to see if she's still sleeping..." He kept telling himself.
Freddy grabbed the doorknob, he was starting to sweat.
He had a worried expression on his face, clenching his teeth in fear.
He tried to swallow it. Letting go of the doorknob.
It was just a peek in and leave, that was all. He took a deep breath.
Right as he was about to grab the knob, the door opened.
The door was now open, Bonnie was on one side and Freddy on another.
Both of them just stood there.
Meeting each other's eyes.
None of them moved a muscle or said anything.
Bonnie held her breath and Freddy turned a slight red.
An awkward silence passed in between them, lasting for a small while.
Bonnie looked away nervously. "Um... I-I'm sorry, F-Freddy..." She apologized.
Freddy noticed Bonnie looked different... Was she wearing make-up?
"Uh... No-No need to apologize, B-Bonnie" Freddy replied, slipping again.
Damn him.
He was never one to really care for make-up.
But, it made her stand out a bit more and not cover her... cute features...
Bonnie felt faint.
The only thing she could feel was the beating of her heart, she grabbed her left arm and held it.
Freddy looked around nervously, he scratched the back of his head.
He cleared his throat. "Um... So... Can I, uh, come in?" He asked politely.
Bonnie looked up at him. Making sure she heard him right. She bit her lip for a second or two. She blushed and rubbed her arm.
"O-okay..." She said before thinking, her eyes almost widened at her own words.
Freddy gingerly stepped into the room. Trying to keep himself as calm and collected as he could be. He had absolutely no idea why he had even asked, but he was there now. Nothing he could do about it.
Bonnie bit a bit on her nail. She turned to face Freddy.
She had never felt so nervous than she was now. Freddy was right there in the room and she couldn't bear it.
Not knowing what else to do, Freddy sat down on the couch. He held his hands on his lap, watching Bonnie.
Neither of them said anything.
"Uh... Bonnie. You can sit here" Freddy gestured to the opposite side of the couch.
Bonnie blinked a few times.
She looked on the floor, biting her lip, thinking about what she would do next.
"It's okay." Freddy spoke softly.
She hesitated and sat down.
Both of them didn't look at each other, each looked the opposite way.
"Why am I here?" Freddy kept thinking to himself.
He fixed the collar of his shirt, trying his best to hide his nervousness, but that wasn't even enough.
"Oh, gosh. I'm going to mess up, I'm going to mess up." Bonnie's thoughts shouted.
She held her hands together on her lap, looking as if she could cry any minute.
Freddy eventually looked towards Bonnie's side, feeling like he had to say something...
"You... uh... you look nice, Bonnie." He said, trying to smile.
Bonnie turned her head to him.
She cleared her throat. "Th-Thank you..." Was all she could reply.
She looked away, blushing a bright pink.
They exchanged silence again. Freddy looked around and saw a photo frame next to him. He didn't recall seeing that before.
He picked it up and examined it.
A photo of what looked like Bonnie and another rabbit.
"Is this... yours, Bonnie?" He asked calmly. Although, his heart said otherwise.
Bonnie looked at him again. She nodded weakly.
"Yes... Th-that's me and... and my cousin... when w-we were in High School..." She answered. Not meeting his eyes directly.
Freddy inspected the photo more. Bonnie was winking and playfully sticking out her tongue and making a peace sign with her hand. Freddy thought she was cute, even back then.
The other rabbit, her cousin, was holding the camera and she was blowing a kiss at it.
"Where is your cousin...?" Freddy questioned. Handing out the photo frame towards Bonnie. Who looked at it before grabbing it.
"She's... in college. I-I don't think she knows I'm... I'm here..." She replied sadly.
"You miss your cousin... don't you?" Freddy leaned towards Bonnie.
She nodded and sniffed.
"I try not to think about it too much..."
Freddy thought a bit. Maybe he could do something... A small plan came into in thoughts. He didn't know if he would be successful, but, for Bonnie... He felt he would travel to the ends of the earth for her.
He turned back to the rabbit. Only mere inches away from her spot on the couch.
"I'm sure she knows you're safe, and sound" Freddy offered. He placed a hand on hers.
Bonnie met his eyes. She blinked and turned a slight pink at his touch. She felt goosebumps go all through-out her body. His hand felt so warm and safe. She breathed softly.
"Th... Thank you..." She almost fainted right there.
Freddy smiled in return.
Bonnie thought this was a perfect time. She cleared her throat before continuing.
"F-Freddy...?" Bonnie asked. She blushed red.
"Yes, Bonnie?" Freddy leaned in close. He felt his cheeks grow warm, but tried to ignore it.
Bonnie noticed how close he was to her. She had to keep herself from passing out.
She wanted to tell him right here, now... That she loved him. Not caring at the moment if he rejected her.
As long as she remembered how his hand felt on hers, she would be alright.
"I-I j-just wanted to k-know..." She looked away.
"What is it? You can tell me" Freddy moved a little closer. Concerned.
Bonnie turned to face him. She clenched her teeth. He was being his kind self, she couldn't help it.
She wanted to get it over and done with.
"I...I..." She trailed off. Her heart beat was so loud, she could hear it in her ears.
Freddy stayed silent. Waiting for her question.
"Do... d-do... you lo... do you have a-any f-family?" Bonnie shut her eyes in frustration. She lost her nerve at the last second.
That was not what she wanted to tell him. Or ask him even.
Freddy paused. Not a question he was expecting... Before he could say another word, knocking came at the Front door.
"Um... excuse me" Freddy replied. He got up from the couch.
Bonnie stayed right there. She wanted to tell him so much...
But, to get scared at the last second... She lowered her head in defeat. She fought the tears that were threatening to form in her eyes.
She ran her left hand against the top on the right hand. Where Freddy placed his hand. She remembered his touch... A tear fell from her eye.
Bonnie bit her lip. She would try again... She couldn't give up.
She breathed a sigh. She'd have some more time to try. But, she didn't know how much time she would have left.
"I'll... I'll keep t-trying..." She whispered. More determined than ever.
Freddy sighed in frustration. It was too early for Chica and Foxy to have returned... Who could it be?
He went to the door and opened it.
It was in that span of a second he wished he hadn't...
"Oh, no..." Freddy groaned.
"That's how you greet your Brothers, Little brother? But, again, you were never part of the welcome committee" One bear smirked.
Two bears were at the door. One had a light brown fur. He was a bit taller than Freddy, along with his Husky build. He wore a Top hat and a large coat. The second one was shorter bear who looked scared of the things around him. Unlike the other bear, he had Yellow fur. He just wore a simple jacket. He looked around nervously with his hands in his pockets.
"Well...? Aren't you going to let us in?" He took the cigar he had in his mouth and brushed it off. The smile he had on his face never faltered.
This was the start of a long day... a REALLY long day.
I can safely bet all the money I have now, that you all know who these mystery bears are!
Thank you all for tuning in to the story. I wish I could write/update more. But, as I said earlier, I'm battling writer's block and I'm starting to get fatigued from putting the story together. (Being a writer is so simple! Hooray!)
I've got some more work to do don't I? I'm going to try to wrap up the Thanksgiving story in the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed this one!
Thank you all so much for Reviewing/Favoriting/Follow and for just reading up to this point! THANK YOU!
I'm going to try to update this week while I can. Although, I'm sure I might not. The universe and FNaF are after me.
Thank you all so much for the inspiration you've all given me! Your encouragement and support is amazing! You guys are awesome!
And, as always: I'll see you all in the next chapter!
Later!
