As the owners were walking around, making sure everything was working completely fine, the phantoms were talking about their brief encounter with that suspicious animatronic. All but Phantom Daisuke, who preferred to talk about it on his mind.
"It's weird," Phantom Chica continued the conversation. "It looked like a golden Bonnie copy that had been thrown into a malfunctioning crusher."
"You got it so right." Phantom BB giggled. "But it was very creepy, admit it. Where did it come from anyways?"
"Um, from here?" Phantom Freddy questioned, almost in a mocking way.
"No," Phantom BB continued. ""I mean, everything that's here came from our restaurant, right? But I've never seen that monstrous thing before!"
"Meh. Me neither." Phantom Foxy countered in disinterest. He hadn't been talking too much, but I was most likely because he was even worse than before. He never got well that thing of being broken.
"Didn't you notice?" Phantom Daisuke said lowly, not looking at the rest, instead looking at front. The ghosts focused their attention on him. "That animatronic wasn't an ordinary one."
"Why do you think that? Because it's too broken to function? I don't think so, look at us!"
"No, it's not that." Phantom Daisuke denied, turning his head to the animatronics. "I saw many things that told me that thing wasn't normal. First of all, animatronics don't make that kind of animal-like noises."
The phantoms looked at each other and slightly nodded.
"Second, all those huge, red wires coming out from it didn't look like wires at all… I bet you know what I mean."
The animatronics soon understood Phantom Daisuke's point, as they all made realization expressions with what was left of their eyes.
"And I don't know if you noticed, but there was something inside its mouth, though I can't figure out what it was."
"Well, said that way," Phantom Chica muttered, surprised. "It doesn't really look like a normal animatronic anymore."
"Oh well, who cares?" Phantom Freddy chimed in all of a sudden. "It's just a half-destroyed-walking-golden-hybrid-monster that none of us know, so we shouldn't care about it and its 'mysteries'!"
All the ghosts looked at his direction, but not at him.
"Fred," Phantom BB said slowly, almost careless. "That half-destroyed-walking-golden-hybrid-monster is right next to you…"
Phantom Freddy carefully moved his eyes to his left, and just as Phantom BB said, the nightmare-ish animatronic was at his side, looking at him in annoyance. Phantom Freddy let out a scream and quickly walked away. "What is wrong with you?!" he yelled.
The tattered robot gave him a snort. And something clicked inside Phantom Chica's head as she watched. "Hey, does that mean it can actually understand us?"
The animatronic looked at her and cooed softly. Came out it could understand words.
"So it can understand us?" Phantom BB asked. "Then why did it act like it didn't before?"
"No idea." Phantom Chica said animatronics heard the voices of the persons walking around, getting closer. The golden animatronic's left ear twitched. And in less than a second, it turned around and disappeared into the shadows.
"And there it goes again," Phantom Freddy deadpanned.
"With these guys around we will never manage to meet this thing any better. It's clearly evading people." Phantom Chica figured out.
Meanwhile, at Moon Mountain Family Grill, White Fang's place, things were going right. Hiro stayed with the two animatronics for a while, and BG got her name changed to JJ. It was put by the restaurant's owner, Jack McCoy. It didn't mean anything at all, being more like an affectionate nickname.
Even though White Fang and JJ had been ages without seeing their friends, they still thought about them every single day, hoping they would be having a great time on the other side. JJ asked tons of times to go to Fazbear's Fright, but Hiro said it wasn't worth it, as he had only thought there were only spare parts and broken decorations. He was so wrong. Six animatronics roamed there. Only one was real, but there were still six.
"I just want to take a look!" JJ always yelled, sometimes joyful, sometimes saddened, sometimes as a joke, sometimes desperate. Hiro had given here many reasons (for example, the one that it didn't make sense for animatronics to go to a horror attraction, or that they weren't going to find anything there). Hiro knew, however, that JJ was going to keep insisting, and with time, White Fang would too.
Back at the attraction, after a whole day of curious and frightened people walking around, it was finally nighttime. Everyone left, and the animatronics finally had time to roam around peacefully. Phantom Daisuke and Phantom Foxy were down for a little walk around. Apparently, the fox was the one truly interested about what Phantom Daisuke said about that rare animatronic.
"Ugh, it's not fun to go unnoticed all the time." Phantom BB protested
"You tell me." Phantom Chica agreed.
"I think it's worse to keep hearing people saying wrong things about us." Phantom Freddy said dryly, and somewhat angered.
"Oh, and by the way," Phantom BB then said, as a certain thing popped out on his mind. "Didn't you notice that weird animatronic wasn't anywhere around here? Isn't it part of the attraction?"
"Do the owners even know it's here?" Phantom Freddy asked. "It evades people. I don't think they would have it to only hide."
"And talking about it," Phantom Chica signaled at front. The phantoms turned around, and found the animatronic partially hidden behind a wall, looking down. It looked at the animatronics after some seconds.
"You know what?" Phantom BB said to his friends. "I think we should, like, put it a name or something. So we don't call it weird things all the time."
"Yeah, great idea!" Phantom Chica yelled happily. The golden animatronic looked at the ghosts with confusion and curiosity.
"Um, what should we name it anyways?" Phantom Freddy questioned, thinking.
"We should think of something… Intelligent- no, better! Something… Improvised!" Phantom BB suggested.
"That's the way of thinking!" Phantom Chica said cheerfully. "Let's see. Um… Well, we are in spring… yes… and this animatronic is… like… I don't know, like a trap, because you don't see it coming… Maybe-"
"Springtrap!" Phantom BB yelled all of a sudden, lifting up his arms as he hopped. "That's it!"
"Springtrap is a weird name for an animatronic…" Phantom Freddy muttered, but the other two paid no attention.
"Is that fine for you?" Phantom Chica asked the animatronic. It seemed to be thinking for a second, and replied with another soft coo. The phantoms soon understood that sound meant something affirmative.
"Well, Springtrap it is!" Phantom BB said, content. "Oh and… What about its gender?"
"Most likely male." Phantom Freddy said.
"Well then." Phantom Chica agreed. Soon after, Phantom Foxy and Phantom Daisuke came in.
"Hey guys," Phantom Chica announced. She pointed at Springtrap as she said, "We are calling him Springtrap."
"Why Springtrap?" Phantom Daisuke questioned, slightly tilting his head.
"It was something improvised." Phantom BB giggled.
