Document Name: GOD THATS A LONG HIATUS

I would like to point out that the Christmas short is after this chapter. So currently, it's snowy and freezing outside, and Frieda has no idea what Christmas is. In the next chapter, she'll probably be wearing her new eyepatch and the mysterious locket Golden Chico gave her.

It seems even Golden Chico prefers happy Christmases over ambushing people.

"So, what's your name?"

"Owen..." the boy said, looking down. "What do you want?"

"I just saw you floating around..."

"Oh..."

Poppy thought for a second. "Do you have any other ghosty friends? Or animal robot friends?"

"Yes," Owen said. "Follow me."

(Quietly singing, "Follow Me", lol. Also, this is a sorta-timeskip.)

Lilac sat on the Defenders' table, being rather short to be sitting on the chairs. He sighed as the animatronics argued; this was the longest meeting they've had.

"Fredric, we cannot bless all the normal animatronics with magic abilities. Blessings take a while to charge up, and by the time we've blessed the second animatronic, the shadows would've probably attacked many times."

"But if we be patient, Mary, then we'd have more of an advantage."

"Fredric, The One is not going to be able to provide us with enough magic to bless even one animatronic until it's too late."

"Oh, so you're using The One against me?!"

"Mary's right, Fredric. We need to save up our magic for the attacks. If we just get plenty of rest, then our powers would be the strongest they could ever be."

"I'm with Bona."

"Just because I'm Bona, right?"

"Yep." Springtrap said sheepishly.

"Oh, come on! No one's with me?"

"Nope.

"Look," Lilac said, drumming his stuffed paws on the table. "It's wiser to save our energy, because we never know when we'll need it. But, that aside, who is 'The One'? You guys never spoke of whoever he is around me."

Springtrap turned to Lilac so quickly, his hat fell over his eyes. Lilac could've sworn he heard Bona mutter, "Tidy up."

"The one is an animatronic theorized to be the one behind every single spell the Defenders and Destroyers cast. He is practically a link between the two, and it's said one Defender and one Destroyer gave up their rivalries just for a while so they could build him!" Springtrap said, as if he was in history class, answering a question for the teacher. "I'll show you who he is."

Springtrap picked up Lilac as if he was a little kitten and carried him over to a strange door that Lilac never noticed. He opened the door and entered a room made completely of stone, except for the one wall in front of them. The wall had a golden figure stuck to it. The figure had a pointed snout, long, shaggy arms with no claws, and long, clawed toes. The figure appeared to be floating with its arms outstretched, and its face looked a lot like the face Frieda had when Alain had beaten up Chico: a face that showed all its anger towards the enemy, yet with good intention.

"Is he good or bad?" Lilac asked as he observed the figure.

"We don't know," Springtrap replied.

Okay, I'll leave it at that. There'll be four parts to this, I guess. Five if I drag on with crazy nonsense like with "The One" again. There'll probably be four parts, though.

Remember when Frieda had practically stomped on Alain's pride a bit by winning against him? Good times, good times.

Huh, that's a cool name. "Alain's Pride"...

...aaaand this is why there'll probably be five parts to WIFWC.

Though, I didn't lie; the next part, after Owen shows Poppy whatever he's going to show, is going to be, like, a month after Christmas.

Unless I start rambling about random stuff again.

Like I'm doing now.

Also, it's one of my friends' birthdays. Happy birthday!

For now, enjoy the world's longest Defenders meeting. And this imaginary cake. *throws imaginary cake in your face*
