Little Lights and Tiny Doors

A Five Nights at Freddy's Story

Chapter 9: Bonding Time

"Alrighty, come on lad, ye can't be a-sleepin' all night..." Foxy said and Mike grumbled a retort. "I know, I know, ye be easily tired now, but you've got to get up and play."

"Nu-uh..." Mike mumbled. "Sweepy." Foxy sighed before he tugged at the towel Mike had cuddled with. Mike grunted angrily and tugged back. "No!"

"Come on lad! Stop actin' like a wee one!" Mike snapped his head and glared at Foxy, which admittedly surprised Foxy that the toddler who was so terrified of him less than a day ago, was now glaring at him.

"I'm nwot actin' like a baby." Mike said. "I haven't swept in a while tanks to you...guys." Foxy raised an eyebrow wondering what he meant.

"What are ye talkin' about-OOOooh..." Foxy said as it clicked. "You're scared of us?" Mike didn't answer, but Foxy saw him nod. "Lad..." Foxy was feeling horrible; seeing the little guy whimpering and losing sleep because of them. "Lad...I'm sorry...we didn't mean to scare ya..." Mike made a small grunt, obvious that he didn't believe Foxy, which Foxy kind of expected; trust that was broken couldn't be fixed in a day. "I'll let ye sleep...you deserve it..."

"Tanks." Was the quiet response.

Meanwhile

"W-Whoa!" Jeremy exclaimed as Freddy picked him up and carried him to the kitchen. "Where we goin'?"

"We're going to get something nice to eat."

"Um...ok..."

"It's perfectly safe."

"Uh huh...but I'm nawt hungry." Freddy sighed.

"Well, I wanted company." Freddy said simply.

"You're tryin' to make Fawkey jealous...aren't you?" Former adult or not, Jeremy was a smart kid.

"...I cannot confirm nor deny that." Jeremy chuckled before sighing, leaning against Freddy. "Are you alright?"

"I suppose." Jeremy started. "I mean, tis is still rweally weird...but..."

"But?"

"But if I'm stwuck like tis...It wouldn't be da worse thing..." Jeremy said, careful with his words. "I mean, I would like to be an adult again...but if I can't...I won't be too mad..." Freddy wasn't sure how to react to that.

"Uh...well...we're working on it...but why would you be ok with this?" Jeremy looked at Freddy with a bemused smile.

"I haff my reasons."

"Uh huh..." Freddy said slowly, not sure if he wanted to know more as they walked into the kitchen, where Mangle was busy watching Matthew, who was working on the oven. "Uh, why are you in the oven?"

"Piece of it is broken." Matthew said simply. "I'm trying to fix it on the cheap."

"Oh..." Freddy said slowly before looking at Jeremy. "I guess we'll figure out a snack later..."

"Ok," Jeremy said as he waved at Mangle, who smiled and waved back.

"Hey! Leave the lad alone!" Everyone heard Foxy's voice and Freddy and Mangle hurried to Foxy trying to keep Shadow Freddy away from Mike, who was sleeping through the fight.

"Shadow Freddy!" Mangle exclaimed. "What are you doing!?"

"He be tryin' to take the lad!" Foxy growled.

"I am not!" Shadow Freddy argued. "I just wanted to see him."

"Yer hand glowed!" Mangled rushed over to the two, trying to break up the fight.

"Knock it off!" She barked. "You're going to wake him up!" Foxy frowned but started to relax as the endo head bit Shadow Freddy, making sure it had a firm grip on the bear to make sure there wasn't any escapes again. Shadow Freddy glared at the head as Matthew sighed.

"This day just gets better and better..." He mumbled sarcastically.

Meanwhile

"Alrighty, let's see what we've got for dinner..." Fritz said before pausing. "Well, breakfast...? Brinner? Either way, it's food." He said as he dug in the lunch box. Rebecca sat and watched him, feeling slightly better, though she still felt a little foggy and dizzy. She admittedly grateful that Springs was sitting on the floor next to the desk, making sure she wasn't going to fall off the desk. "Ah, ok, I have apple juice for you..." He pulled out the small juice and put it on the desk. Rebecca grabbed it and tried to open the straw package. "And my food...and a thing of crackers for you..." He put the bowl of crackers on the desk and bit back a chuckle; Rebecca's frustrated and focused face was adorable as she ripped open the straw.

"Yes!" She exclaimed, and Fritz chuckled.

"Nice job," Fritz said and Rebecca blushed, looking at the floor.

"I-I-It's just nice that I stwill have my coordination..." She mumbled and Fritz smiled softly.

"I understand," He said as he opened the crackers. Rebecca nodded as she tried getting the straw in the drink, but to no avail. She pouted in frustration. "Here, let me try, it's a stubborn juice box..." He took it and put it in, though it took him a few minutes as well. "Aha! Finally!" Rebecca giggled.

"Tank you Fwitz~!" She said before starting to drink the apple juice. Fritz smiled slightly, feeling a bit like a dad before he shook his head quickly; no. Rebecca was his coworker, an adult and they needed to figure out how to turn her back to normal. But how, he wasn't sure. He looked at Springs, who looked back at him, probably thinking the same thing. Fritz sighed and leaned back into his chair and started to each his own food, trying to figure out what he was going to do.
