No POV
Mangle walked home from Chica's that evening. The girl was still thinking about her breakdown the previous day.
"Why do I still have that issue? It was years ago." She muttered to herself. Suddenly, she felt someone grab her hand. She flinched, turned around quickly, and threw a punch.
"Whoa, whoa, Maggie!" She paused at the sight of the young man. It took her a minute to recognize him. He was quite a bit taller than her now, and had shaved hair rather than messy brown hair, but she recognized his blue eyes. She pulled him into a tight hug.
"Mikey! You're home!" She smiled. When she had met him, shortly after that car accident, he couldn't pronounce 'Mangle', so he called her Maggie. It became his nickname for her.
"Yep. How have you been?" He asked, as they walked back to her house. She told him about everything that had happened over the last few years he'd been in boarding school. She told him about dance, Foxy, her friends, and everything in between.
'Wow, a lot has happened since I've been gone. You even cut your hair off." He nodded to her new haircut.
"I love it. I'm going to keep my hair like this." I told him. "What's happened at boarding school?"
"Um, well, I met a girl. You'll like her, her name is Doll." He said.
"Ooh, what happened to the cooties stage?" Mangle teased.
"Hey, I never had that stage, it was you." He retorted.
"Nah." Mangle stuck her tongue out at him. "Why did you come back, anyway?"
"I missed my little sister." He teased.
"We're the same age, idiot." Mangle shoved him.
"Hmm, nope, you're still short." He put his hand a short distance above her head, as if measuring her height.
"Oh, shut up." She laughed. "I missed you, Mikey."
"Missed you too, Maggie." He smiled back. "Race you home!" He yelled, running towards the house.
"Hey!" Mangle ran, but Mike beat her to the house. "No fair, you have long legs."
"And I'm not a shorty like you." He laughed. "…What happened in here?"
"Oh, someone broke in yesterday. It slipped my mind." Mangle explained. "Nothing important was stolen, but they almost ripped the…photo…" Mangle collapsed to the ground, crying.
"Hey, Maggie. It's okay. No harm was done." Mike hugged her.
"That's the last…thing I have…to remember Mommy and Daddy." Mangle said between her sobs.
"It's okay. It's okay to cry." Mike said to calm her down.
Eventually Mangle stood up. "I'm going to go upstairs." She said.
"Goodnight, Maggie." Mike said.
"Goodnight, Mikey." Mangle replied as she went upstairs. She texted Chica.
M: Chica, my brother came home tonight.
C: You have a brother!?
M: Yeah, his name's Mike. I call him Mikey, though.
C: Is he the same age as you?
M: Yeah, why?
C: Why haven't I ever seen him?
M: He's been in boarding school for the past several years.
C: Oh.
Mike walked into her room. "Who are you texting?"
"I'm texting a friend." Mangle replied.
"Oh. Hey, I wanted to tell you why I came home early."
"Didn't you already?" Mangle was confused.
"No." Mike sighed. "Maggie, I graduated early."
"What." Mangle was shocked. Her brother graduated early?
"Yeah. I didn't exactly want to go to college at my age, so I'm home for a few years, then I go off to college."
"Wow."
"I'll leave you alone now. Goodnight, Maggie."
"'Night Mikey!" I smiled.
M: He graduated early.
C: WHAT?
M: IKR! We are the same age!
C: He must have been smart like you.
M: Nah. He fell on his head several times when we were six because he fell off a swing.
C: Oh wow XD
M:Ttyl!
C: You too! See you at school~
Mangle smiled as she fell asleep, fully content now that her brother as finally home.
