Happy New Years, everyone! RM27 back again!
Well, now with the Thanksgiving over and done with... it's time for THE CHRISTMAS CHAPTERS!
Some of you suggested a few ideas and I have taken a few into consideration.
In fact... If you can, you can all suggest some new ideas for the story. I can't promise if I'll use some of them, but I will consider each and every one.
"Kiwi" That sounds like a nice arrangement. With a new 2015 calender, I'll give a shot sometime. :)
"Guest #34" I'm not entirely sure how many chapters there'll be. I'm guessing somewhere less than 20. Who can really say right now?
And for all of you asking for me to hurry with the updates... I'm trying the fastest that I can, just please be patient.
Now then... ONWARD!
-RollieMcFly27
Right after Thanksgiving, they went back to their normal lives.
Frederick left with the excuse saying he had "important" business to finish at his Workplace.
Also bringing Golden "Goldie" along with him.
Mentioned in his note, he didn't want to get arrested for helping a patient escape.
But, he was leaving the house he had bought completely according to price nearby.
Mangline, Bon-Bon and Chia were all staying in the house for Thanksgiving. They had all decided to stay for a little while, seeing that the land was beautiful.
Freddy just groaned and rubbed his forehead.
He had about enough time with Family to last him a decade...
Bon-Bon was over-joyed to stay with her cousin, although they seemed more like sisters.
She had decided to spend some more time there. She already finished with most of the courses in college, making the biggest nerd rage even more. Her excuse? That he spend most of his time Role playing than studying.
Mangline decided to stay, not wanting to miss spending Christmas along with Foxy, even though Freddy was skeptical on her reason. Not wanting to get any further in the Vixen's business, Freddy just kept it to himself.
Speaking of Freddy... His feelings for Bonnie grew even more.
His heart would warm up at every thought, every single time he glanced. Her beauty would take him away, almost torturing him.
But, he found himself also enjoying the feeling.
The day right after Thanksgiving, they all went back to work.
The morning went on, as it usually did. But, there were a few changes.
Since Foxy and Chica were official, Foxy would wake up early and help her make breakfast.
Sometimes, he would be behind her, his arms wrapping around her waist, watching her cook.
She'd reach an arm back and run her fingers slowly across his face, taking in every single moment of it.
Bonnie had always walked into the kitchen with them like this. She'd leave them alone, they had their backs facing her, so they never really knew when she came in.
But, after every time she'd see them like that, the yearning in her heart became even stronger.
She loved Freddy more than ever. With his prim, proper gentleman-like ways and his caring heart for his friends.
Freddy didn't leave as early as he always had, which had surprised Chica.
"Well... it's just, for once, I'd like to enjoy a breakfast with everyone." He said.
Chica just shook her head, completely knowing the real reason why he was doing this. But, she kept it a secret.
They would sit together at the table. Chica made a small figure of herself made of egg and a small figure of Foxy made of bacon, both holding each other, sitting on top of a pancake which was carved to look like a heart.
Foxy absolutely loved it and kissed her on her cheek as a sign of Thanks.
Chica blushed and continued to serve the plates.
When it came to getting ready for work, everyone, but Freddy went.
He left to open the Diner. While everyone else would catch up a little later.
Once they were out, they went a few houses down and picked up Bon-Bon.
The cousins hugged each other a good morning and talked in the back-seat.
Foxy didn't really know what time it was until he reached for the radio controls...
Off they went.
They reached the Diner with a few minutes to spare. Bon-Bon enjoyed the entire ride. She cheered and asked if they could do that again some other time.
Bonnie just held herself together and tried not to focus on her stomach.
They all set up their stations. Bon-Bon helped out Bonnie during the meantime.
Bon-Bon was setting up the table, when she noticed something on the ground.
Picking it up, she went over to Bonnie. Who was in the back room, getting her things for her job.
"Hey, Bonnie." She called to the dark-ish room.
"Huh?" Bonnie came out, holding her notepad, pen and small binder with the words "Registry" written in bold, golden letters.
"Do you know whose is this?" She held out, all too familiar with Bonnie, a red bow-tie.
"O-Oh! That's mine!" She exclaimed and took it from Bon-Bon. "I guess it must've fallen off..." She chuckled nervously, putting her equipment down near the door.
Bonnie wrapped the bow-tie around the collar and tried to tie it.
Then, it struck her...
She didn't really know how to tie a bow-tie.
Chica had usually done the tying for her, seeing as she always did it for Foxy.
But, Chica was busy in the kitchen, as far as Bonnie knew.
She started panicking, fumbling with the tie. Freddy could come out any minute now and she wanted to look proper.
"Psst... Hey!" She called out to her Cousin as a last resort.
Bonnibell turned around to face her.
"Yeah?"
"Can you help me with this?" She asked in a hurried whisper, her arms were behind her neck
"Oh, sure." She replied, walking over towards Bonnie's location. She stood behind her and attempted to tie the bow-tie.
Bonnie kept on the look-out. She was nervous about Freddy seeing her like this.
"Do you have it?" She asked, getting more anxious with every passing second.
"I'm trying."
Bonnie grew even more nervous, Bon-Bon was taking a little longer than expected.
"You... you don't know how to do it either?" She asked, bracing for the expected answer.
"... I thought I did. Guess I was wrong..." Bon-Bon admitted sadly.
Bonnie groaned and held a hand to her eyes.
"Why do you even need to wear this? Not like the Fred guy will fire you if you weren't wearing this." Bon-Bon questioned, inspecting the tie.
"Well..." Bonnie blushed. Her real reason was so she could look presentable in front of Freddy. But, that was not what she was about to tell her own cousin... at least, not yet.
"I-I just want to look professional... that's all." She bluffed.
"You look professional enough, Bon." She replied, walking around Bonnie. "I mean... That purple vest really does make you look like you know what you're doing." She observed.
Bonnie felt she was going to burst into tears at the moment. She started losing her patience, which was something she didn't normally lose.
"But... I guess you're right... With just the vest, it looks a little dull." Bon-Bon held the tie up next to Bonnie, comparing it.
"Can you please..." Bonnie started, with a hint of annoyance in her voice. She closed her eyes and held her hands up to keep herself in check. "... just help me?" She pleaded.
Bon-Bon inspected the tie, as she was trying to come up with the solution to this problem.
Right as Bonnie was about to snatch the tie away and go to the kitchen to look for Chica, another door opened.
Freddy.
Bonnie held her breath and hid her tie. Grabbing her notepad and pen quickly, she tried to make herself look as presentable as she could.
Even though the tie in her hand was nagging at her mind.
Bon-Bon turned to see Freddy walking towards them. Her first thought was how he was dressed.
Pretty much the same as Bonnie... Except for the fact he was wearing dress pants instead of a brown skirt.
Then, something caught her attention.
"Wait here... Let me go ask him if he'll help you." She said, smiling.
Bonnie stiffened when she heard what her cousin said.
She tried to signal that it was a bad idea, clenching her teeth.
But, Bon-Bon ignored her and walked over to Freddy.
Freddy started his walked over to the Counter. He glanced at Bonnie once or twice, he thought she looked cute in her uniform.
But, he did notice she wasn't wearing her tie, which he thought was strange.
Then, he noticed Bonnibell was coming up to him. He raised an eyebrow in wonder.
"Hey, Freddy, you think you can help us out?" She said with a sweet smile.
He blinked and nodded.
"Sure. What do you need help with?" He asked.
Bon-Bon looked back at Bonnie and back to Freddy. She pointed at his Bow-tie.
"The thing is... Bonnie needs help with her tie. You think you can tie it for her?" She replied, sweetly.
Freddy felt his cheeks grow a hint of red. He glanced at Bonnie, who looked as if she was trying to make herself look invisible.
"A-Alright." He responded, walking over to Bonnie.
She continued with her face lowered and her eyes closed. She braced for the worst...
"... Bonnie... Hand me the, uh... tie." Freddy asked.
Bonnie handed it out, still not meeting his gaze.
Freddy blushed as he thought on what he was going to do next. Bonnie was blushing for the same reason.
He went around her, holding the tie in both hands.
She didn't move an inch.
"Can you... lower your ears, please?" Freddy asked as calmly as he could possible be. His heart was beating rapidly, he felt it woud burst.
Bonnie obeyed.
Once she lowered the ears, Freddy got the tie over her head and wrapped it around her neck.
She could feel his hands working on the tie. She looked down at the floor, letting her breath go.
"Is this... too tight or is it okay?" Freddy asked, nervously. Although, Bonnie couldn't tell why he was nervous.
"N-No... it's fine..." She answered softly.
Freddy still couldn't believe he was doing this. He felt his cheeks grow warm and his hands almost slipped a few times with the tying.
He could smell the lavender shampoo off of Bonnie, which he thought, smelled nice.
That's how they both stood. Bonnie held her hands together and continued looking at the floor. Freddy bit his lip as he tied here and there, wearing a firm expression on his face.
"There you go." He said, finally.
Bonnie moved the tie a few times to make sure it was put on tightly.
"Thank you..." She replied, almost to a whisper.
Freddy went around to face her.
He lifted her head by her chin, so that he looked into her eyes. "You okay...? You didn't look alright when I walked in."
Bonnie's eyes widened at what Freddy was doing at that very moment. She blinked rapidly and looked away.
"I'm... I'm fine..." She said quickly, lowering her ears to cover a part of her face.
Freddy looked the rabbit in awe. She, indeed, was beautiful to him in every single way. He smiled, using a thumb to stroke her cheek.
She noticed and directed her attention back to Freddy. As she stared back into his deep blue eyes, she felt her knees shaking a little bit.
During that time, Foxy came out of the kitchen, whistling. Stopping the tune short once he got a good look at the scene before him.
Chica followed not too long after.
They both examined both Freddy and Bonnie.
Chica felt she could squeal into fits of joy, just seeing them both in such a position.
Foxy smirked and placed a hand behind Chica, taking in what he saw.
Chica couldn't help it any longer, she started to giggle, but tried to keep herself quiet.
They both heard it. They turned their heads slightly towards where Foxy and Chica were standing.
Freddy was the first one to react. He let go of Bonnie's chin and fixed his bow-tie, clearing his throat.
"Well, uh... I guess we really need to... g-get to work, huh?" He chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head.
Foxy crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.
"Aye..." He said.
"Um... I'll go get my things..." Bonnie said, quietly.
"Aren't they already in place, Bon?" Chica asked, pointing at the stand near the door.
Bonnie looked where Chica was pointing. Once she saw her mistake, she held a hand to her mouth in embarrassment. "Oh... Sorry."
Freddy nodded and picked up the money from Foxy, who was holding it out while leaning on the wall with an all-knowing smirk on his face.
"Thank you, Foxy. Get back to... to work." Freddy ran hurriedly back to his office.
Bonnie just went back to her stand and tried not to think too much about what had happened.
Chica looked at Foxy and whispered something to him.
Bonnie tried not to let that bother her...
After all... She had a job to do.
There were few customers that day, thus, making it a slower day than usual.
Bonnie had hope it would be a busy day, so she could get her mind off of Freddy and her run-in earlier.
They went home, like no one's business.
Bonnie was relieved that Freddy didn't bring up the Bow-Tie incident. She really didn't want to remember how weak she felt under him, but she couldn't forget how firm his grip on the tie felt or how he touched her chin.
Those were things she probably wouldn't forget anytime soon.
The days that followed went on like so. Morning to Evening.
Nothing in particular happened.
But, one day, Freddy gave them one day off. Which left Bonnie puzzled. Chica had no idea either.
Foxy got a call later that day and he, too, left. Not explaining where he was going.
Nobody knew until the next day, when they arrived at the Diner, all decorated for Christmas.
Bonnie stepped out of the car and examined the sight before them.
Red lights circled around the logo of the restaurant. Yellow lights ran straight above the front doors.
Green and red lights were put together to look like a Christmas Wreath was put in between the logo and the line of lights.
Freddy stood at the doors, smirking like he had won a contest.
"Well, lassies! This here is ol' Fazbear's Diner, ready for the Holiday seasons!" Foxy announced, gesturing his arms towards the Diner, showing off.
"Oh, Foxy, it's beautiful!" Chica cried and threw her arms around Foxy's neck.
"Aww, well... It be nothing, Lass." Foxy blushed, trying to keep himself from falling to the snow.
Bonnie smiled in wonder and awe. Freddy walked over to her and examined the sight, with his hands in his pocket.
"It's so... so..." Bonnie started, trying to find the words.
"... I know." Freddy replied, smiling, before she could finish.
"You did all this?" She held a hand to her mouth, hiding her blush.
"Not all of it. Foxy helped out." Freddy glanced at her, smirking.
"Aye, thanks for not leaving ol' Foxy out, Freddy." Foxy laughed.
Freddy rolled his eyes, ignoring the comment.
Tomorrow, they were to open the Diner, welcoming guests with a free cup of hot chocolate.
Which was the Diner's special for that time of year.
There eventually came a day where Bon-Bon suggested they get some shopping done for Christmas at the local mall.
Chica and Chia clapped excitingly at the idea. Bonnie decided it was a good idea.
With 4 girls against 2 guys... well... maybe one, since Foxy agreed along with Chica.
They were all going to the Mall.
Once they had arrived, they parked in the large lot. Freddy stepped out of his driver-side door and got a look at the large store that stood graciously before them.
Of course, he couldn't exactly recall what a Mall looked like. Only that he knew it was a large store with several smaller stores within it.
"Oh, this is so exciting!" He heard a voice call out. Turning his head towards the direction of the voice, Freddy realized it was Bon-Bon who had spoken.
Bonnie later came beside her.
"I guess so." She calmly replied, smiling.
Freddy smirked at Bonnie. He could feel his heart practically flutter that very moment, viewing the beautiful woman not too far from where he stood.
"Let's go!" Chia called out, already walking ahead of them.
"Right." Freddy corrected himself, locking the van and closing his door.
With his hands in his pockets, Freddy walked slowly behind the group.
Foxy wrapped an arm around Chica. Whispering a few things to her, making her giggle.
But, Freddy's eyes were fixed on Bonnie, who was talking with Chia and Bon-Bon.
He watched her, smirking as he did. From the way her ears moved depending on her emotion, to how she walked. Although, he did blush a bit when he noticed her tail.
Pushing his mind off of the subject, he entered the store.
The entire place was crowded. Guessing that everyone else had the same idea to go Christmas shopping, they managed their way through.
There were lights, people in costumes and Christmas decorations all over the place.
A huge Christmas tree that looked like it was 18 feet tall, almost touching the roof, was the big part of the whole scene.
Walking up to it, the group examined it with awe.
"It's so beautiful!" Chica exclaimed, clasping her hands together.
"Aye... I've never seen such a huge tree in me whole life..." Foxy's eyes were wide, his mouth nearly dropping.
Bon-Bon loved the sight of the tree. Everyone did.
But, using her observant eye, she spied something that pretty much stood out.
She wasn't that dumb either. She noticed how Bonnie acted whenever Freddy was around, which was more than enough times in a day.
Smiling, she nudged at Bonnie, motioning her to look somewhere.
Bonnie turned her attention to where her cousin was pointing, what she saw, was a Mistletoe.
She blushed a bright pink.
As the legend goes, whoever kisses under the Mistletoe will have good luck.
Having absolutely no idea on why Bon-Bon would motion her to look at something like that.
"... so...?" Bonnie nervously replied, trying not to let the thought of the Mistletoe bother her.
Bon-Bon just shrugged.
"Oh, nothing. I just thought it looked cute." Smiling sweetly, she walked off.
"H-Hey!" Bonnie called out, running after Bon-Bon.
Chia took notice of what was going on and followed after Bonnie. "W-Wait up! I'm coming too!" She called out.
Chica watched her friends leave. Foxy released his arm around Chica.
"Go on and join them, Lass." He whispered.
Chica looked back at the Fox's golden eyes.
"You... You sure?" She asked, concerned.
"Yeah, it be fine with me. Besides... Me and Freddy need to talk for a bit." He gestured at the bear, who was watching the other group leave.
Chica nodded, understanding what he meant.
"Okay... I'll be back." She kissed him and left to join her sister and the others.
Foxy sighed, smiling.
While the women went shopping, Freddy and Foxy went for a small walk around the Mall. They didn't go into any store, buy anything nor were they even paying attention to those around them.
They walked in silence for a while. Foxy was waiting for Freddy to say something.
Which he did not.
"So... eh... Freddy?" He asked, trying to keep his cool.
"Hmm?"
"Are you... going to, eh... teach me how to-"
Freddy stopped and entered a store, leaving Foxy confused to no end. He took a few steps back and realized it was a store that sold formal items. Things like suits and fancy tablecloths.
He blinked once, maybe twice, before entering in himself.
The entire place was decorated with anything that would describe as "Fancy and Formal"
Foxy took in all that he saw. Walking slowly, his eyes were widened in awe, his mouth parted somewhat.
Eventually, he saw Freddy at the front desk, talking with the secretary.
She nodded and went around until she was at the front of the desk.
Foxy was confused at what was going on. But, he continued to walk slowly.
"Welcome, Foxy." Freddy greeted.
Foxy, almost, felt obligated to roll his eyes. But, he wanted to know where Freddy was going with all this.
"Have a seat." Freddy gesture to a chair that Foxy hadn't noticed before. But, he obeyed.
Sitting down, he noticed the women that was at the desk, was writing something on a large notepad.
Foxy felt some sweat dropped running down his face. He tugged a bit at his collar, getting intimidated and nervous by what was going on.
And the fact that the lights went dim until only the light that lit over the front desk was the only source of light.
"Now then..." Freddy adjusted his shirt, which today was casual. "You wish to know how to please women instead of impressing?" He asked, keeping his gaze on the nervous Fox.
Foxy had absolutely no idea what he was suppose to say. It suddenly felt like High School all over again. He nodded, to show he understood... or at least understood half of what was going on.
"Perfect. Now... I want you to listen very carefully at what I have to say and what I tell you to do. Understand?"
The Foxy nodded, tugging at his collar.
"Then... we shall begin..."
The women shopped until they nearly dropped.
Freddy had left Chica with his card and instructed her to use only a certain amount.
So far... They had lights, ornaments and a few sweaters for the season.
It was Chia who decided to shop for a few clothes. Chica agreed with her little sister, saying that she wanted to look nice for her first date with Foxy.
They were off to a nearby department store. Most of the shopping was done by Chica, Chia and Bon-Bon.
Bonnie, however, was just looking around the store. Trying on a few things here and there.
And when they weren't shopping, Chia brought them all to the dressing room so Chica could put on a few dresses.
First one was an orange dress that looked a little too vintage.
Then, a pink one that felt too revealing for Chica. So, they had to pick a different one.
While Chica was trying on a few more, Chia stayed near the dressing rooms. Staying as Chica's support.
Bon-Bon and Bonnie were stuck with looking for a different dress that could possibly fit Chica's figure and would be just perfect.
While Bonnie was going through the clothes, she was reminded of the times she had in High school and College.
She was a dorky girl. She wore glasses those days because she couldn't really afford contact lenses.
Never really a person with a sense of style, she wore a thick purple sweater and black jeans. Her hair wasn't in a certain style, she just left it how it was.
Memories after Memories came flooding back. The biggest one being when she was getting ready for Prom.
She wore a dark purple dress that seemed pretty old.
All she did while other people were dancing was sit at a table and watched the other dancers.
She left early, trying to console herself with ice cream...
Tears almost threatened to fill her eyes. But, she held them back, not wanting to attract attention.
Bonnie searched through racks of dresses until a voice rang clear through the air.
"Hey! It's you!"
Bonnie blinked in confusion and looked up. On the other side of the clothes rack, was Mangline.
"Bonnie, right?" She asked, strangely cheerful.
"Um... yeah. That's my name." Bonnie chuckled nervously.
Mangline went around the isle of clothes to reach Bonnie. Pulling her into a hug, which made Bonnie feel a bit unsettled at the Vixen's way of greeting her.
"It's been a while, girl! How are you?"
Bonnie was never used to this kind of vocabulary. It almost reminded her of the dreaded popular girls back in school.
Thank goodness, those days were over.
"I'm... I'm fine, thank you." She replied, quietly.
Mangline's smile faded.
"Something wrong, sweetie? You can tell me."
"No... No, nothing's wrong. Thank you." Bonnie put on a smile to try to show that it was true, even if it wasn't.
"Well, if you say so, Bonnie!" She, almost instantly, was back to her normal cheery self. "So... Whatcha doing?"
"T-Trying to look for a dress for Chica." Bonnie replied, searching for a perfect dress.
"Really? How about I help?"
Bonnie didn't need to answer, as Mangline was already searching through the dresses pretty quickly.
Even so, she couldn't deny that Mangline was a beautiful Vixen. That any guy would be lucky to have her...
... even Freddy...
The thought never occurred to her that Freddy might like someone else. But, once it did, it made her feel a little upset.
She put the thought away for a while.
"So... How do you know Freddy?" Mangline asked out of the blue.
This question shocked Bonnie. It was almost like Mangline read her thoughts. Attempting to remain calm, Bonnie answered.
"Well, I... I didn't at first."
She could have sworn Mangline's ears perked up a little bit.
"So, you're both total strangers?" She directed her attention to the rabbit.
"Not... Not really anymore. I've gotten to know him more" Bonnie said, quietly.
"Oh, I'd be careful if I were you." Mangline answered. Not looking at Bonnie.
But, this caught Bonnie's attention.
"Wh-what do you mean?" She looked at the Vixen with a look of concern.
"It's nothing, really. It's just that an incident happened with Freddy a LONG time ago. I actually knew him during that time."
Mangline continued searching through the dresses, like the topic didn't bother her.
Bonnie was scared, but she had to ask...
"What incident?"
Mangline shrugged.
"He just bit someone. Really hard too. Heard the person lost his frontal lobe or something."
All of Bonnie's world started sinking when she heard those words. Freddy? Hurt someone? She couldn't believe it.
"Why d-did he-?"
"Don't know... The guy was being a jerk and drove Freddy right off his top. Word of advice: Never get him mad."
Mangline let that sink in. She let a secret smirk rise, knowing that she placed those thoughts into that rabbit. She probably might think of Freddy differently now.
"Well, I have to get going. I just remembered I was suppose to meet up with Foxy. See ya!" With that, she left.
Bonnie didn't answer. She was thinking over what Mangline had just told her. She sat down on a nearby stool with mirrors on the side of it, pondering.
Was it true? What she said?
She sat there, alone in her thoughts. The crowd that surrounded her suddenly faded away, until it seemed like she was alone in the whole department store.
"Hey, Bonnie! Come on, we found the perfect dress for Chica! What are you doing all the way over here?" Bon-Bon had arrived, seeming oblivious to how Bonnie looked. Not that Bonnie would've cared to tell her cousin about her encounter with Mangline.
Bonnie looked away from her chirpy cousin. "Um... Bon-Bon? Do you mind if I... I took a walk around the store?"
Bon-Bon's smiled dropped. She never really saw her cousin like this.
"Why? What's wrong?"
Bonnie turned to face Bon-Bon, wearing a fake smile.
"Nothing. It's just... I can't really stand being around so many clothes. I'll be back, okay?"
"Okay..." Bon-Bon replied, uncertain.
Bonnie quickly hurried out of the store, not even looking back. She blinked away her tears, knowing that she couldn't tell Bon-Bon about things like this.
At least... not yet.
Freddy and Foxy walked out of the formal store and took a small walk.
"I hope you were paying attention to everything I showed you, Foxy. I will not be able to do this again." Freddy fixed on his coat.
"Yeah, no! I payed attention to everything!" Foxy couldn't exactly remember half of the things he was taught in there, but he didn't want to get on Freddy's bad side.
"Good." Freddy nodded and with that, they walked in silence.
There were less people in the Mall now, considering it was getting late. Freddy figured they should get home too.
As he walked he looked to his right and noticed that Foxy was no longer next to him.
He stopped and looked back. No sign of the Fox.
He scratched his head in confusion. If Foxy left, he would have said something. Then again, he didn't really get Foxy.
So, Freddy continued walking, glancing on the decorations as he did.
He didn't know when he would run into the women or Foxy again, but standing around wasn't going to do him any good.
After a while of walking, he noticed a familiar person in the crowd. The purple fur gave it away.
"Bonnie...?" He whispered.
Yeah, it was Bonnie alright.
But, what was she doing out here?
Bonnie didn't know how long she had been walking aimlessly through the Mall. She didn't pay any attention to the people around her.
She held her hands together, thinking again on Mangline's words.
It was almost impossible to see Freddy do something like biting someone... it was an accident, right?
As she was deep into her thoughts, she felt a tug on her sweater.
Looking from where it came from, she noticed a little boy.
He was a chubby child, wearing a beanie, a red and blue striped shirt with blue jeans and brown clodhoppers. He had periwinkle blue eyes with chocolate brown hair.
"Miss? Can... can you help me?" He asked, still tugging at her sweater.
Bonnie examined the little boy. She got down on her knee, to level herself to him.
"O-Okay. What do you need help with?"
The boy didn't answer. Instead, he grabbed her hand and led her somewhere.
Bonnie had no idea what she was helping this strange boy with, but he needed help and he thought of her well enough to do it.
They walked for a while. Eventually, they stopped. The boy pointed at a balloon that was caught on one of the decorations.
"My balloon is stuck up there. I can't reach..." He looked back at Bonnie, waiting for her answer.
She glanced at the boy's eyes. They reminded her of Freddy, just the color blue. Looked back at the balloon and back at the boy.
The balloon was yellow and red striped and it was pretty high up.
Putting on a determined looked, Bonnie thought about how she could get it. She looked around, trying to find something to help her reach it.
Finding a small chair, she quickly grabbed that and hopped onto it. Bonnie reached for the balloon, but it was almost in her reach. She stood on her tip-toes and was so close to reaching it.
The boy held his hands together, praying that she would be able to get it.
Bonnie made a successful grab. She smiled, victoriously. "Got it!"
The boy cheered for joy. He jumped, pumping his fists in the air.
She got down from the chair and handed the balloon to the boy.
"There you go. Don't lose it again, okay?"
"Okay! Thanks!" The boy nodded and quickly ran off in some direction.
Bonnie watched that boy until he faded in with the crowd.
She sighed, smiling at what she had been able to do. It made her feel good.
"It was nice. What you did there."
The voiced scared Bonnie. She turned, seeing Freddy.
"F-Freddy...!"
Freddy didn't say anything. He just smiled.
Having witnessed the whole thing from afar, Freddy saw how kind Bonnie was. Doing nothing, but fueling his love for her even more.
"Um..." Bonnie tried to think of something to say. Coming up with nothing, she started walking away.
Freddy arched an eyebrow in confusion. He walked after her and caught her arm.
"Hey. You okay, Bonnie?"
She blushed, feeling his hand. Bonnie stopped walking, but didn't turn to face Freddy.
"I'm... I'm fine." She tried to push away.
"I can tell you're not... You can tell me what's wrong." Freddy almost stuttered, getting used to being in Bonnie's presence had helped his nervousness a little.
Bonnie turned to face him. Freddy wore a face of concern. His blue eyes pierced through her, making her heart beat than ever.
"I... I heard about your... bite incident..." She replied, sadly. She looked down at the floor, not wanting to meet his gaze.
Freddy grew confused.
"What bite incident..." He trailed off. It occurred to him what she was talking about.
"You... bit someone... did you?" Bonnie looked up at Freddy with honest eyes, begging to know the truth.
"No... I didn't. I never had." Freddy replied, not able to guess how Bonnie even found out about the incident that...
Bonnie's eyes widened. "What...?"
"Here... let me explain it to you..." Freddy started.
It was an incident of long ago. Freddy was in his 4th year in High School.
Everyone sat at the cafeteria, eating whatever they had either brought with them, or what they bought from the school.
Freddy sat at a table by himself, as he always did. He was a football player that year and a pretty popular one too. But, he didn't care for the attention nor did he acknowledge his "Fans"
As the story went, right after lunch, some fan of his wanted an autograph. They were so persistent, they wouldn't leave Freddy alone.
He eventually argued with the person until he did the unthinkable.
Or that was how one part of the story went...
Another was that a guy was hitting on Mangline, who was Freddy's girlfriend at the time.
Freddy fought the guy and the bite was unintentional.
But, then there was the argument that Freddy and Mangline broke up a few days before the incident.
A lot of evidence found there pointed to Freddy. Since there was no eye-witness or any sighting of what really happened, the case was dropped on the argument that there was really no motive.
The mystery was never solved and Freddy was found innocent.
But, with all the commotion going on around the School, they had him transferred to a different High school.
As Freddy explained the story, they slowly walked.
Bonnie listened on every word with intensity.
"... That was how it happened." Freddy finished.
They stopped walking. Bonnie held a hand to her mouth, not knowing what to say.
"I'm... I'm so s-sorry, Freddy..."
"No, it's fine. It was a long time ago, I'm just glad I got to talk about it with you." Freddy smiled, showing what he told was the truth.
Bonnie nearly melted under his smile. She turned to face him, holding her hands together.
"Me too..." She said, almost barely above a whisper.
They stood there, gazing into each other's eyes for a short time. Until Bonnie looked down at the floor, shyly. Letting one foot trailing along the floor.
Freddy scratch the back of his head, not knowing what he should be doing or what he should say next.
Then, they heard giggles.
Both of them turned their heads at the same time to the source of the laughing.
Bon-Bon, Chia, Foxy and Chica. Chica pointed above Freddy and Bonnie, holding a hand to her mouth to keep from laughing.
Freddy looked up, Bonnie followed soon thereafter.
There, in all it's glory, was the Mistletoe.
Freddy blushed, remembering the tradition. Bonnie attempted to cover her blush, looking away. Her heart was beating so quickly.
Eventually, both of them looked at each other in the eye. Both of them knew it was now or never.
Bonnie bit her lip, Freddy tapped his foot nervously.
It was the perfect scene for the two. Just perfect.
They both started to lean in, ready for the kiss.
Bonnie closed her eyes, not able to take the intensity of the moment. She was blushing a bright red.
Freddy, himself, was red too. He almost hesitated a few times.
Closer and closer... Their lips were inches away from touching.
Then, cracking was heard. They both stopped and looked up.
One of the decorations was giving away, it started to fall.
Freddy grabbed Bonnie and got them away from the danger.
The decoration fell, destroying the Mistletoe. It was a pretty heavy one, causing a crack on the floor and a rumble around the Mall
Some people started to panic, not realizing what was going on.
Chica, Chia, Bon-Bon and Foxy didn't notice the decoration that was seemingly loose.
A crowd of people almost separated the two groups. People were yelling, trying to get away from the site.
It wasn't until the police arrived that things began to clear up.
It was going to be a long night.
Not too far from the Mall, was Mangline. She ran until she couldn't run anymore.
She got into her car and drove away from the parking lot.
Tears fell from her eyes.
She had taken Foxy away from Freddy so they could enjoy a small treat from a snack bar.
Afterwards, she followed slowly behind Foxy as he tried to look for Freddy. Later, he had found the girls. They said Bonnie had left them.
So, the search for the two began.
Not that Mangline cared.
But, when they all saw Freddy and Bonnie under that Mistletoe.
Suddenly, her heart broke into a million pieces, seeing Freddy close to Bonnie like that.
She started to breath heavily, looking for a way to stop them.
Eventually, she saw a trail of lights going high up, over a small Santa statue that was directly above them.
She wasted no time going over and pulling the light cord as hard as she could.
Once she saw that it was falling over, she ran. Never stopping until she reached her car.
How could Freddy do this? To her?
Why didn't he want her back? Why couldn't it be like before?
Tears continued to stream down her face.
Anger boiled within Mangline. She was starting to hate Bonnie.
What did he see in her that was different?
What did she have that she didn't?
It didn't matter. She pressed on the gas pedal, making the car go faster.
This was one war she couldn't lose. She had to win at all costs.
What war, you ask?
The War for Freddy's affection.
