I sat there in a panic not knowing what to do as "Pop Goes The Weasel" continued to echo throughout the pizzeria
"W-what do I do?!" I asked Freddy and Toy Chica in a panic, Freddy and Chica looked at each other as they quickly tried to come up with a solution
"I honestly don't know, we've never had anyone forget to wind the music box before" Freddy replied as he continued to try to think of something
"Not helping" I said as I looked around "Is there anywhere that I can hide where he won't find me?" I asked
"Not in here" Freddy replied
"Yeah, there is...the vents" Chica said "The Puppet doesn't go in those" she continued, I looked at Freddy who was obviously trying to come up with something
"Uh..." Freddy started before looking down the hallway, that's when he noticed that the Puppet was on his way down it "That'll have to work, Chica take him to Parts and Service...I'll try and distract the puppet" he continued, Chica nodded before looking at me
"Let's go" she said before crawling into the vent, I didn't feel right doing it but at that point I didn't have any other options if I wanted to live to see the morning.
I reluctantly crawled into the surprising large vent and followed Chica through it.
As I crawled behind her the first thing I noticed was how her butt was in my face, I blushed a deep shade of red before looking away.
"They didn't leave anything out when they were designing these guys did they" I thought to myself
Once we got to the end of the vent we crawled out into Party Room 1 where it had led us.
"Now, we need to stay quite and move quickly" Chica said to me, I nodded
"Alright" I replied
We were walking to the door when "The Puppet" was passing, Chica quickly grabbed me and pushed us down behind a party table until he passed.
After, a few seconds of hiding she walked to the door before peaking out and making sure The Puppet was gone, he was, before motioning me to come on.
I got up and quickly made my way to Chica before we quickly and quietly took off towards the Parts & Service room.
(POV: Freddy)
I stood in the office staring at the vent hoping that Toy Chica was going to he able to get Brent to Parts & Services.
I turned towards the door once I felt the presence of someone else enter the room, Puppet was standing there staring at me.
"The endo turned off your music and ran, I came in here looking for him" I lied, The Puppet continued to stand there before finally making his way over to the desk.
The Puppet looked around at the mess on the desk trying to figure out what caused his music to stop, I just stood there watching to see what he did.
After a minute of watching The Puppet, I peaked down the hallway to see if he could see Brent or Toy Chica...but I couldn't.
(POV: Brent)
Chica and I were almost to the Parts and Service room when Toy Bonnie turned the corner in the hallway and we ran into him.
"There you are Mr. Naked Endo!" Toy Bonnie exclaimed, I went wide eyed.
He tried grabbing me but I managed to duck out of the way, Toy Chica then stepped in front of me.
"I was just taking him to get dressed Bonnie, you don't have to worry about it" Toy Chica said, Toy Bonnie smiled
"Well, I'll help you!" He exclaimed happily as he tried to get passed Toy Chica to once again try and grab me, Toy Chica blocked him though
"No no, you guys always get to dress them up...I want to do this one" She said
"But I wanna play too" Toy Bonnie said almost as if he was an upset child that didn't get its way
"Maybe next time" Toy Chica replied, Toy Bonnie stood there pouting until he finally managed to get his arm passed Chica and grab mine
"I'm getting him dressed" Toy Bonnie said as he started dragging me down the hallway
"N-no let me go" I said as I tried to get out of his grasp, but he just tightened it
"Bonnie stop" Toy Chica said as she tried to get him to let go of me, he wouldn't.
"It's not nice to not let others play with you" Toy Bonnie said as he continued to drag me down the hallway.
I looked back at Chica wanting to scream and fight my way away from Bonnie but knew if I did I would just get The Puppets attention, and I didn't want that.
"Bonnie let him go, I'm dressing this one" Toy Chica said as she once again tried to pull me away from Bonnie, but he wasn't allowing that to happen
"Now Chica, you know what happens if you don't follow the rules" Bonnie said as we finally reached Parts and Services
"I'm not breaking any rules Bonnie" Chica replied
"Yes you are" Toy Bonnie replied in his happy toned voice "You are trying to take Mr. Naked Endo away from me, and you know all endoskeletons have to be in costume" he continued
"I had him first, I was going to get him dressed and you took him away from me" Toy Chica said, Toy Bonnie laughed
"It's not polite to raise your voice at other performers Chica, you don't want me to have to tell Freddy do you?" Toy Bonnie asked, when Bonnie said that I noticed Chica got a little nervous
"You're right Bonnie, no need to tell Freddy" Toy Chica replied "But can I please dress this one?" She asked "I never get to anymore" she continued, Bonnie stood there obviously thinking about it
"Ok, but I want to help" Toy Bonnie replied before pushing the Parts and Service door open and pushing me inside right onto the cold hard tile floor
The sudden burst into the room startled Foxy, Chica, and Bonnie.
They all saw me fall to the floor before all becoming very surprised
"B-Brent" I heard Chica say in her staticky voice
"Guess what guys, we finally caught the Endo!" Toy Bonnie exclaimed as he walked across the room to grab an empty suit
I looked up at Foxy not knowing what to do at this point, I managed to pull myself up to my knees but wasn't there long before Toy Bonnie walked back over and yanked me to my feet
"Time to get you dressed Mr. Naked Endo" Toy Bonnie said as he showed me the empty Freddy suit he now possessed
"Let em' go" Foxy said as he pulled himself to his feet, Toy Bonnie looked at him
"Now you know it's against the rules to be out of costume, so I have to get him dressed" Toy Bonnie said as he started trying to get me into the suit, I of course was fighting and trying to get the hell away from him but he wasn't having any of it
"Let me go you stupid blue bastard" I said as I continued to squirm
"That's not nice" Toy Bonnie replied "I'm going to have to take you to Freddy after you're dressed" he continued
"No!" Toy Chica finally exclaimed before knocking the costume out of Toy Bonnie's hand causing Bonnie to drop me back onto the floor.
Toy Bonnie looked at Toy Chica before shaking his head...
"Chica, it's not nice to hit" Toy Bonnie said before grabbing ahold of her wrist "I think we need to go and talk to Freddy about this" he continued before he started dragging Toy Chica towards the door before stopping and looking back towards me "Mr. Naked Endo, you stay here...I'll be back in a jiffy" he finished before turning back around as he continued to drag Toy Chica out of the room
"B-Bonnie let me go!" Toy Chica exclaimed as she tried to break away from his grip, he only tightened it in response
I climbed up to my feet before running up to Toy Bonnie and running right through his arm making him let go of Chica, I grabbed her before pulling her back into Parts and Services and slamming the door shut.
I leaned up against as to do my best to keep it closed as Toy Bonnie tried to push it open...
"Chica, Mr. Naked Endo you both are breaking the rules" Toy Bonnie said as he continued to push at the door
"Fuck off!" I yelled through the door
"It's not nice to use profanity" Toy Bonnie replied
I turned back to face the others...
Bonnie and Chica were still sitting in the spots they were in before, Foxy had walked closer to the door, and Toy Chica was standing just to right of me checking on her wrist.
"What ta heck happened?" Foxy asked
"I forgot to wind the god damn music box" I replied
"Y-you did?" Chica asked, I nodded
"Not good lad" Foxy said "Ta Puppet doesn't like when his music stops" he continued
"H-how did T-toy Bonnie get y-you?" Chica asked
"Toy Chica was helping me escape from the Puppet and we ran into the blue bastard in the hallway" I replied before looking over at Toy Chica
"Are you alright?" I asked her, she looked at me and nodded
"Yeah, just felt like he was going to break my hand off with how hard he was squeezing my wrist" Toy Chica replied
After awhile the banging on the door stopped and we heard Toy Bonnie walk away, thankfully.
I sighed in relief before sliding down the door...
"He's gone" I said, the others nodded
"Lad, ye need ta be more carful about tat music box" Foxy started "Ta Puppet doesn't mess around" he continued, as I was getting ready to respond someone started trying to open the door again.
I shot back up to my feet and used all the strength I could to keep the door shut...
"Hey, it's Freddy...let me in" I heard Freddy say, I sighed in relief before backing up off of the door and opening it revealing that it indeed was the big brown bear on the other side "What are you doing?" He asked as he walked into the room
"It's a long story" I replied
"Did The Puppet go back to his box?" Toy Chica asked, Freddy nodded
"He managed to find out how to work the tablet and rewound his music box" Freddy replied
"Why the fuck would he try to kill me if I could have easily rewound it for him?!" I asked
"I told ye lad, ta Puppet doesn't mess around" Foxy said
"Especially about his music" Freddy added, I shook my head
"I need a nap" I said as I rubbed my sweaty forehead before looking down at my watch "Five fifty-seven" I said
"Well, ye might want ta go n' get yer stuff from ta office" Foxy said, I nodded
"I better" I said before looking around "Thanks you guys, I appreciate all your helptonight" I thanked everyone
"It was no problem, Brent" Freddy replied
"Glad ye didn't get stuffed" Foxy said, I chuckled at that
"Yeah, you and me both" I said causing the others to laugh, well, all except Bonnie who couldn't...
I took a mental note of that...
"I'll see you alltonight" I said, Freddy gave a nod
"Tonight" He said, I smiled before turning and walking out of the room.
Toy Chica followed but looked back at the others and gave them a small smile before closing the door behind her.
Once I reached the office I grabbed my keys from the desk...
"Well, I got my stuff" I said to myself before turning around and seeing Toy Chica standing there "Oh, hey Chica" I said, she gave me a small smile
"Hey" she said before looking down, It almost seemed like something was wrong
"Are you ok?" I asked as I walked back around the desk headed towards the hallway
"Yeah, I just-" Toy Chica was saying before stopping "-just wanted to say thank you for helping me with Bonnie" she continued, I nodded
"You're welcome, it was really no problem" I replied "And besides you saved my lifetonight" I continued causing Chica to look up at me "And I want to thank you for that" I finished, Chica smiled before lunging forwards pulling me into a hug
I chuckled before hugging her back...
"You're welcome" I heard her faintly say, I smiled a little
We kept the hug until the morning bell started chiming telling me that it was six and my shift was over.
"Well, looks like the end of my shift" I said as Chica and I broke the hug, she nodded
"Yeah, it is" She said
"Come on, I'll walk you back to the stage" I said, Chica smiled before we started our walk down the dark corridor.
Once we made it to the showroom we saw that both Toy Freddy and Toy Bonnie were already back on stage, I turned to look at Chica again before smiling.
"I'll see youtonight, alright?" I said, Chica smiled and nodded
"Alright" she replied, I nodded as I watched Chica climb on stage before walking towards the door
"Bye" I said as I looked back
"Bye" Chica replied
After, I continued my way out of the pizzeria and headed to my car happy that I managed to make it through another night.
Finally, another chapter!
Sorry for the really long delay for this chapter, I really have been trying to balance out writing chapters for this story and Total Drama Showdown but life is making that very difficult for me to do.
But anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter and I will see you, hopefully soon, in the next one.
