Chapter 7: Liz
It was the next morning when Travis walked in the main room, "Guys, we need to talk." Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy walked over to him. "What's up Travis?" Freddy asked, looked confused.
"I need to discuss about the toys, but first, I need them here so that I can..." Travis was soon interuped by Goldie and Trap, leading the toys into the room.
Travis smiled as each of the toys (minus Toy Freddy) sat around the table. "Thank you Goldie and Trap, now as I was saying... Wait, where's Toy Freddy?"
"He wasn't in the Parts and Service room when we went to get the others," Trap replied, which Travis nodded. "Ok, I'm sure he hasn't gone too far... Well anyway, the reason I called you all here was..."
...
Music came out from the radio as Liz was in her apartment doing some house work. She was enjoying herself as 'Who Said I Would' by Phil Collins played, while she was doing the dises and even mouthing the words to the song.
Unknown to her a pair of eyes watched her from her unclosed front door as she put the clean dises away as she bop her head to the song.
As soon as she looked up she was startled to see the eyes stare at her, blushing she turned the radio down and opened the door.
"Toy Freddy? What are you doing here?" Liz asked, causing the bear to look away shyly with a blush of his own.
Liz sighed and led him into her apartment, "I'm almost done getting some chores done so I won't be too long," she said as she went back to the remaining dises, "so what's up?"
Toy Freddy pointed at the radio, Liz took it as a question. "Oh just listening to some music to pass the time, you like?"
The bear nodded as Liz turned up the radio a little bit, the voice of Phil Collins contune as the next song started playing.
Toy Freddy was amused as he listened to the song which was playing 'Swing Low', Liz giggled as the bear was enjoying the music.
Putting away the last clean plate, Liz sat across Toy Freddy, who locked eyes with hers. "I know that this might bring up some bad meriores, but you saved me from... well..."
Toy Freddy remembered, and nodded. Liz frowned, "I want to thank you."
Why can't it wait 'til morning?
We can talk about it then
'Cause I've had a drink too many
And my troubles, well I ain't got any
Toy Freddy looked at the radio as the next song played.
Why can't it wait 'til daylight?
Things will seem much clearer then
I'm tired and my eyes are weary
And I just want you lying here with me
So close your eyes
I'll make it oh, so nice
'Is this song... Talking about me?' Toy Freddy thought as the song contuite.
Well I don't wanna think about what we've said
And I don't wanna know why we hurt ourselves
'Cause I just wanna hold you so close to me
It'll take care of itself and I wanna sleep
So why can't it wait 'til next time?
'Cause that time may never come
Stay here with your arms around me
You're going nowhere without me
So close your eyes
I'll make it oh, so nice for you
As the song finish playing, Toy Freddy looked at Liz again, who can see he wasn't happy. "I got an idea," she began, while turning the radio off, "I got some show ideas for the others, want to come with me?"
At first Toy Freddy was hesenit, he wasn't sure if the other toys were still in the main room but Liz caught on. "Travis will talk to them if they bother you, Freddy and the others are nice and they would love to meet you."
That made Toy Freddy feel a bit better.
...
Travis was just done with the meeting when Liz and Toy Freddy entered the room, "There he is! I was a little worried there when he wasn't in the parts and service room." Travis said as he noticed Toy Freddy, "He was with you?"
Liz nodded, "Yeah."
"Aye Liz! Mind we be borrowing Toy Freddy?" Foxy called out as he and Freddy apoced them. Liz nodded, "Sure, but please be gentle."
Freddy nodded, "I'll make sure of that, come on Toy Freddy, we'll take you to see Bonnie and Chica."
Toy Freddy only frozed until Freddy realized his mistake, "I mean 'our' Bonnie and Chica." With a sigh of relief Toy Freddy followed Freddy and Foxy.
Bonnie was playing checkers with Trap while Chica and Goldie watched. "Who be winning?" Foxy asked while taking a seat next to Chica, who answered "It's pretty hard to tell, but I think it might be Bonnie, but you know Trap's going to catch up."
Toy Freddy took a seat next to Goldie, who gave the toy bear a smile. "So we finally meet Toy Freddy, we were all worried that you wouldn't come out at all."
Freddy nodded, "But we're all glad that you came." Toy Freddy looked between both bears, not sure what to do. He hadn't felt welcomed, let alone being nice to since forever. It felt weird.
Noticing the worried look, Freddy nodded "I know this is all strange to you, but we are friends Toy Freddy and I don't want you to feel scared of us."
"Yeah," Goldie replied, "Just give yourself time, I'm sure you'll warm up to us."
This made Toy Freddy feel better, 'Maybe I'll give them a chance. I mean, it's not going to be like before.'
At another table Mari watched them with a smile. 'Things might start looking well, Toy Freddy might get that second chance that he always wanted and hopefully everything else will be ok.'
He frowned when he spotted Toy Chica talking to Toy Foxy, 'Of course, there's still Toy Chica and Balloon Boy. I know Toy Bonnie wants to try again, but I'm still not sure if Toy Freddy is ready. And then there's the voice box...'
"You ok Mari?" Toy Bonnie asked which caused Mari to jump, "Toy Bonnie, where did you-?" Toy Bonnie blushed, "Sorry Mari, I-I didn't mean it. I was just wandering if you can help me with something."
Mari nodded, "Sure TB, what's up?"
"I want to ask Bonnie if I can talk to him about some music ideas, but..." He looked at the table where he spotted Toy Freddy with the other animatronics, "...I don't want to cause a scene with... you know."
Mari nodded, knowing what Toy Bonnie meant.
"And I take that you want to give that to Toy Freddy as well?" Mari asked, pointing to a drawing in the bright blue bunny's hand.
"Yeah, it was just this. Like I said I don't want to cause a scene and..."
"Let me see what I can do." Mari said while Toy Bonnie handed the picture to him. The puppet then floated towards the table where the other animatronics sat.
"Um, Bonnie?" Mari spoke cause the purple bunny to look at him, "What do you need?"
"Do you have a mintuie? Toy Bonnie wants to ask you something."
"Why can't he come here himself?"
"Well..." Mari had an awkward look on his face as he caught Toy Freddy's look. Bonnie realized this and did an 'oh' to himself.
"Sure, I'm just done playing." As Bonnie was getting up from his seat, Mari handed Toy Freddy the picture Toy Bonnie drew.
Toy Freddy look at the picture and was surprised to see what the drawing was. It was Toy Bonnie, he looked like he was playing the guitar. What surprised the bear though, was there was also Toy Freddy himself, he looked like he was sitting on the floor watching Toy Bonnie perform.
There was also a message above the bunny's head, saying 'I'm so, so sorry'.
Toy Freddy slowly looked up and locked eyes to Toy Bonnie's, whose eyes had a regretful look in them.
They both stare for the longest time before Bonnie was by Toy Bonnie's side. As soon as the bunnies were talking, Toy Freddy looked at the picture again.
Did Toy Bonnie really mean that?
The bear shook his head, he had a lot to think about. Both Freddy and Goldie, who were both watching the scene with worried looks, went into action.
"Hey Chica, it's getting to be lunch time, mind if you make something?" Freddy asked while Chica nodded, "Sure thing Freddy."
As the chicken left for the kitchen Freddy looked at Toy Freddy, "Hey Toy Freddy? You want a tour on our stages?" Toy Freddy nodded and followed Freddy.
Unknown to them; a pair of eyes were watching them. Watching only Toy Freddy.
