Chapter 10

"Thanks for taking us to the mall to get some clothes Calvin." Chica said, referring to herself and the rest of the gang. "No problem." I said.

Lately, the animatronics have been talking about getting clothes to cover their exposure. I didn't really understand it since they don't really have an anatomy, but I volunteered to take them to the mall so they could pick out the clothes they wanted.

Vix stayed back at the restaurant to babysit BB, and Mangle stayed behind to be BB's playmate.

During our walk in the mall, people were eyeing us like crazy. This is actually the first time people have seen the animatronics outside of the restaurant so it wasn't too surprising if they were shocked.

The first store that we went to was Fashion Central.

Before we walked in, I explained to the gang how the shopping was going to be done.

"Okay guys, here's how this going to work." I started. "You guys pick out the clothes that you want and bring them to me. I'll take them to the register to pay for them. If this store doesn't have the clothes that you want, then we'll go to another store. Now we only have $2,000 to spend so don't pick too many clothes and choose the ones that you really want." I explained. "Does everyone understand?" I asked.

The gang all nodded their heads in understanding.

"Okay, let's do this." I said before we walked into the store.

The gang all searched through the store looking for the clothes they wanted. Freddy told me that none of the clothes were to his liking. I then asked him what sense of fashion he was into. He told me he was more into suits and tuxedos. Luckily, I knew a store that sold fancy clothing I told Freddy that I'd take him there when everyone else has picked their clothing.

Bonnie went with a white shirt, black jacket, and blue jeans. Chica went with a sleeve-less sweater matching the colors of her bib and small shorts.

They took their clothes to the cashier and I paid for them.

All that was left is Freddy.

We had a decent amount of money so I could buy him his clothes too.

I took Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica to the place I told Freddy about. The store was called Fancy Deluxe. From the outside, you could already see suits, tuxedos, dresses, and other fancy accessories.

We walked inside. To Freddy, this was animatronic heaven to him.

Bonnie and Chica knew why we were here so they just stayed silent, not wanting to interrupt Freddy's state of happiness. It didn't take long for him to pick out his choice. He chose a simple tuxedo(Nothing more, nothing less).

With the choice and the purchase finally done, we drove back to the restaurant.

The drive didn't take long.

Once we made it to the restaurant, we got out of my car and walked inside with the clothes that I bought for Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica. Inside, BB and Mangle were chasing each other while Vix was sitting. They looked at us once we came inside.

"Ah, ye laddies are back." Vix said. "Yep." Bonnie replied. BB and Mangle came towards us. "Did you all have a nice time!?" BB asked happily. "Yes we did Balloon Boy." Freddy replied. "So, what exactly did you lots get?" Vix asked.

Bonnie, Chica, and Freddy all showed BB, Vix, and Mangle their clothes.

"Wow, those look awesome!" BB exclaimed. "Indeed they do lad." Vix said before she looked at me. "Next time Calvin, we're going out shopping." Vix said, referring to her, BB, and Mangle. "Fair enough." I said in agreement. "Now that the shopping's outta the way, anyone idea on what we can do to pass the time?" I asked.

BB then raised is hand.

"Ohh, Ohh, I know, I know!" BB exclaimed. "Yes, BB." I replied. "We could play tag. Me and Mangle were playing it earlier, and since you all came back we can all play." BB suggested.

There was silence.

"I'm down for that." I said, breaking the silence. "Yeah, me too." Bonnie agreed. "Hey, why not." Chica said. "It would be a great family bonding session." Freddy replied.

Mangle got out of her chair.

"Ah, if everyone's gettin involved then I'll join too." Vix said. BB jumped for joy. "YAY!" BB said happily. "So who's going first?" Bonnie asked. "I vote for Freddy." Chica replied. "What, why me!?" Freddy said shocked. "Well it does make sense." I continued. You're the biggest out of all of us." I finished. "I...suppose so." Freddy said. "Alright, I'll go first so you guys find a good spot." Freddy said before he closed his eyes.

With that, we all ran to different areas. I ran to the scrap room to hide amongst the different part scattered around.

I opened the door and closed it.

I turned on the lights and started making a pile out of the robot parts. After some time, the pile was big enough for me. I burrowed in. (Okay, if I'm lucky, no one will ever think to look in this pile)I thought to myself.

15 minutes go by and I'm still in this scrap pile. I was actually surprised that nobody bothered to come in here.

Just then, Bonnie came bursting in.

"Oh crap, oh crap. He's coming, he's coming!" Bonnie said panicking. "Wait, maybe if I hide in that pile, he won't notice." Bonnie said.

Bonnie walked over to my pile. He noticed something in the pile that made him squint his eyes. "Wait a minute...Calvin!" Bonnie said surprised.

Since Bonnie already knew I was here, I might as well blow my cover.

"(Exhale)Yeah, it's me." I admitted. "Oh crap dude, I was wondering where you've been all this time." Bonnie said. "Yeah, well what's going on outside?" I asked. "Quiet...until Freddy found out where I was. I ran and ran until I came across here." Bonnie explained. "Wait, wait, wait, you mean you brought him here!" I said, starting to panic. "No, or at least, I don't think so." Bonnie replied. "So, I was wondering if we could share the scrap pile?" Bonnie asked. "Share...the pile." I said blankly. "Yes...the pile. Freddy barely comes into the scrap room. He'll never think to look in here." Bonnie said.

(Bonnie has been proven wrong in these types of situations at times. But then again, two head are better than one in these types of situations too)I thought to myself.

After some thinking, I made my decision.

"Okay." I said. "Cool." Bonnie said as he started joining me in the pile. "Now don't move a circuit and we'll be just fine." I instructed. "Got it." Bonnie said.A few more minutes go by and it seems as though me and Bonnie are not gonna get caught.

"Really, like nobody has bothered to come in here." Bonnie whispered. "I know, this is gonna be an easy-."

Before I could finish my sentence, Vix opened the door.

I immediately closed my mouth one she came in the room.

"Oh laaaaaads." Vix said. "Oh LAAAAAAAAADS!" Vix said again more loudly. Me and Bonnie stayed silent. "Lads come one, I know you're in here. Just come out and save yourselves the trouble?" Vix asked.

Me and Bonnie continue to be silent. (Wait Freddy tagged Vix! Oh, I am not gonna survive the night)I thought to myself.

"Fine, have it your way." Vix said before she started walking more into the room. Bonnie and I were worried and terrified for ourselves. "Oh, I wonder where you two could be?" Vix said in a joking manner. "Are you here in this conveniently giant scrap pile?" Vix said, continuing to joke.

Bonnie and I were silently panicking.

Vix reached her hand out to our pile. It was only a matter of seconds before she'd find us.

As a last resort, me and Bonnie burst out of the pile and ran past Vix.

"So, the hard way it is." Vix said before she started chasing us. We were running at our fullest to escape Vix's pursuit. She was the fastest animatronic alongside Chica so just running from her wouldn't be smart.

We needed another hiding place.

"We can't keep running Bon, we gotta find another place to hide." I acknowledged. "I know, wait Chica's room!" Bonnie exclaimed.

Me and Bonnie ran to Chica's room.

I tried opening the door. "Oh crap, it's locked!" I exclaimed. I knocked on the door in hopes that someone was inside. "Chica, Chica, are you in there!" I said. "Yeah, me, BB, and Mangle." She responded. "Nice, can we come in." I asked. "Sorry Calvin but we can't." Chica replied. "C'mon Chica, Vix is right behind us!" Bonnie said. "Sorry guys, it's everyone for themselves." Chica said. (She says that but she has BB and Mangle in her room)I thought to myself.

Just then, we heard robotic footsteps.

"HHHHEEEERRRREEEE'SSSS VVVIIIXXXXYYYYYY!" Vix exclaimed.

"CRAP, CRAP, RUN!" Bonnie yelled. We continued running. During the pursuit, I looked at my watch.

10 minutes until my shift ends. I started becoming joyous.

"Hey Bon!" I said while running. "Yeah!" Bonnie replied. "10 minutes until the end of my shift. Think you can run a little longer?" I asked. "Probably, if I don't bust a circuit." Bonnie replied.

With a solid goal in mind, we stuck to it.

Eventually Vix picked up the pace. "4 more minutes." I said. Vix was getting closer and closer to me until her finger was an inch away from me.

Thankfully my watch beeped, signaling that my shift has ended.

"YES! WE WIN!" I exclaimed. "Once again, your watch saves you." Vix said. "Yeah!" Bonnie exclaimed.

Freddy and the rest showed up after a few seconds.

"Another splendid victory Calvin." Freddy said. "Way to go Calvin!" BB said happily. "Awesome Calvin!" Chica cheered. Mangle nudged my cheek as she usually does when we greet or when I accomplish something. It's become a bit of a tradition.

"Thanks everyone, now if you'll excuse me, I have to get home to shower and rest. My heart feels like it's about to burst. I haven't ran that long and so fast in a long time." I said, placing a hand my chest.

The gang all agreed and we said goodbye to each other. I got in my car, quite happy with the way we all spent the night together. (I certainly hope more animatronics join the family)I thought to myself as I drove off home.
