Beach House Getaway
Chapter 12 - Day 11
Okay. Only four more days left and this chapter will be over. Though, you can consider the last chapter to be some sort of epilogue or something even though it'll be day 14. Yet that chapter would be basically everyone packing up and getting ready to go while they're expressing their overall thoughts.
But that's thinking too far ahead. We're on day 11 at the moment and chapter twelve, and pretty soon the characters are finally going to confront Derrick. And clearly the whole chapter is going to revolve around that (though, it is probably that one chapter I am very anxious about...). But we'll get to that when we get to that. This chapter, we're going to get more of Ben's side of the story through phone conversations while the main eight characters are doing something else while they wait until Friday so that they could go on with their plan, so that the chapter is not appearing to be completely irrelevant. The main eight are still on vacation after all, so they do realize that they still need to enjoy themselves haha!

Day 11
And they all knew it. With it being day eleven, only three days remained, which would effectively put their two week getaway to an end.
Since it still had yet to be the day where Bonnie, Freddy, Victoria, Foxy, Derrick, Ryan, Valery, and Chica, put their main enemy to a stop, they decided to resume their normal vacation activities to pass the time, in another attempt to take their minds off of the main issue at hand. One could not have even accused them of wasting time, since Thompson's apparent party was scheduled for Friday, and it was Thursday, an entire seven days after the beach incident. The octet of anthropomorphic animals could not have done anything unless Ben said so.
"I mean, I know I keep saying this guys, but that private view of the beach up there is everything." Val said walking through the hallway. "It's the best part of the whole house."
"We should actually go there if we have some time left over today." Freddy suggested getting up from the couch.
"That's actually a good idea." Ryan talked as he put on his black shades. "Let's just make today worth it. We need to definitely explore today. We've dealt with enough already. Where's everybody else?"
"I'm coming." Foxy stated from afar. "I just need to find my slides real quick."
"So, what are we gonna do first again?" Victoria then walked in. "Get breakfast somewhere?"
"Yeah, let's just go to Shinebucks again." Ryan offered. "We got up early, anyway and so far nobody has eaten anything. Hopefully the others will be ready soon..."
"Dude, tomorrow is just around the corner. Two people that were working with us are already getting put behind bars. We can't continue like this forever."
"Jose, just put your faith in me. We will be able to pull this off and everyone will be sorry. I don't know how Derrick and company found out about us, but they're pretty smart if you ask me. We should have never underestimated them..."
"So, what do we do with them at the party?"
"Outsmart them. Duh! I know they're gonna try and put a stop to us, so we need to strike before they do. Let's give them the same medicine. I figure that is the only way out of it at this point. We gotta take some serious risks here."
"Well, we obviously can't go for that chicken girl first at this point, because they're gonna assume that we're gonna do just that."
"I don't think a female at all should be the first target at this point. Let's go after a male, and we slowly get rid of them one by one. Derrick's to obvious of a threat. We need to go for the least likely person the group would worry about."
"...And who's that?"
"...The other bunny."
"The blue one?"
"No! He's a big threat, too! He got involved realize that chicken was gone!"
"...The light green one?"
"Yes. I think his name is Ryan or something. Bonnie, we clearly can't choose. I don't think we can go after the fox, either. But the bear can be the secondary target. I don't think many of 'em are worried about him. Afterwards, we can separate Derrick and his girlfriend and work from there… We need to hire more people..."
"Ooh, c'mon, Bonnie! Let's get cotton candy over there and actually enjoy it this time!"
During the group's second visit to Shinebucks, Ryan found out that there was a carnival a few miles from it. Asking his friends for their thoughts on it, of course the reception was a unanimous 'Why not?'. And so, there they were.
"Alright, then." Bonnie replied with a nod, before grabbing Chica's hand. "Let's do it."
"...And what about the rest of us?" Foxy raised an eyebrow. "Don't tell me you two are gonna one of those pairs that only care about each other and completely ditch their family and friends..."
"Oh Foxy you're being dramatic..." Bonnie shook his head with a blanks tare. "Come on..."
"Well, I'm gonna get me a funnel cake over there." Derrick pointed in the opposite direction as he walked along, Victoria, Freddy, and Ryan choosing to travel in his path.
Val turned to Foxy. "...What about you? ...And me?"
"...Let's just get on a ride or something since everybody wants to separate..." Foxy Michaels rolled his eyes. "I'll get a funnel cake later."
"Hmm..." Ramos took a glance around a place. "...That ferris wheel seems nice..."
-/-
"You scared of heights?"
"No." Val replied with a slight giggle, sitting beside Foxy in a seat. "But even if I was, I won't be after this. I've never actually been on a ferris wheel before, so if anything, this would help with my confidence. Rollercoasters are worse. I am not afraid of rollercoasters so I have no reason to be afraid of ferris wheels.'"

"Hey, we should probably share one." Victoria said to Derrick. "They are pretty big, after all."
"Um, are you two saying that for obvious reasons?"
"No, silly." Victoria responded to Ryan, as those three plus Freddy were ordering funnel cakes as Derrick previously stated. "They're big. I am not planning on my stomach hurting afterwards some and Derrick are sharing."
"Okay, valid point there." Ryan had to admit as the cashier finally came out of the kitchen to the register, giving Derrick the opportunity to order.
Victoria faced Freddy. "You're getting one by yourself?"
He nodded.
"...Your stomach can really handle that?"
"Even if I don't eat it all here, I can just save it for later..."
"Makes sense I guess..."
As he was getting ready to add more words to the conversation, to his inconvenience, his phone began to buzz out of nowhere. "Ugh... Great."
"Who is it?" Kellyn asked out of curiosity.
"It's Golden..."
"Oh." Her head immediately straightened. "Good luck..."
"Hello?"
"Hi Freddy. Are you all busy?"
"...Well, not now basically. We're waiting for funnel cakes at a carnival."
"Oh, you're at a carnival?"
"Yeah… We're gonna be out the house a lot for today."
"Oh, so how are things going right now?"
"Fine as usual. Kinda bittersweet knowing that we will be coming home in a few days, but I've enjoyed my time here."
"...Oh… so any updates to that whole beach party incident thing?"
"...Oh… I heard it was all because of this typical love drama stuff that escalated too high and it went too far. He's most likely sitting in jail right now, so we're good."
After a minutes or so, Golden Fazbear hung his cell phone after saying his goodbyes to each other. He ended up staring at the wall facing him, yet he was simply thinking to himself of the contents of the conversation. "'We're good'. ...I thought that the girl was the one who was on the line. What do they have to do with it?"
His father's voice was then heard. "You just spoke to Freddy?"
"Yeah…" He sighed and stared off elsewhere.
"How is he?"
"He said that the person responsible to what happened at that beach party last week is most likely behind bars. They're getting funnel cakes right now at some carnival…"
"...Why do you look worried?"
"I don't know..." He shook his head. "Something just seems a little off, that's all..."
"No no, stand over there… no there!"
Valery Ramos was attempting to get all of the guys to take a picture together, who were all currently standing just inside a water park.
"And hurry up, guys!" Chica added, her patience already beginning to wear thin. "We need to hurry up so that we can do something here already!"
"Um, there is a reason to why we let you girls go first." Bonnie inputted in self-defense. "We knew that you all would take a much longer job, which you did. Therefore, you shouldn't complain about us 'taking a long time to take a picture'."
"Well, just hurry up, anyway. You're wasting time because of spending too much time talking." Val responded. "There's a majority of you here, so that's why the shortest ones are in the front. Now stand still and let me take the picture!"
-/-
"Go."
A female, flamingo lifeguard was giving the cue to every two anthropomorphic animals that were each standing on two separate water slides. Upon giving them the okay, they immediately launched themselves on said slides. Safety first, unless everyone wanted to collide with each other and risk injury. The two that were the next to join in on the fun were Bonnie and Foxy, and Freddy and Victoria were the next ones to go.
The latter turned to the former with a smirk. "You ever been on a waterslide before?"
"I have, but I haven't been on one in years, so hopefully the wait is worth it." Freddy replied. "Of course, I've ever that there have been quite a few water slide accidents thanks to me looking them up online."
"Oh my god, why would you say it now?" Victoria laughed a little.
"It's just a water slide..." Freddy rolled his eyes with a shrug. "It'll be over in like, ten seconds..."
"Go."
Within a few seconds later, Freddy got on as his body was rushed down the red water slide. All the while, he was laughing to himself. However, his laughter was rather short lived; when he reached the end and came out with a splash, his cheerfulness almost instantly turned into frustration and annoyance. The worst part of water slides was that there was sort of this big chance of water entering your eyes.
"Come on, now..." He rubbed them upon standing up.
"Turn around." Foxy's voice sounded.
Upon Fazbear opening his eyes doing so, he only ended up getting even more water splashed in his face. With Victoria gasping, Freddy was of course anything but pleased.
"Ah! Foxy, that's it!"
He ended up chasing him around before Bonnie approached Victoria. "We're going to beach later before it gets dark out, right? ...Even though we've just been there this morning?"
"Yeah."
"Don't you find it weird that we're doing this and that?"
"Not at all." She shook her head in disagreement. "We're not gonna be here forever, so might as well doing everything we can, right? And besides, we didn't know this was going on, anyway."
"So Ben… About how many people are coming to the party?"
"About a hundred…"
"...What the- DUDE ARE YOU CRAZY!? The more people, the more likely they're gonna mess something up in the house! We're not exactly living there, Ben. There is no way we can accommodate that many. I'm not paying anybody anything when I don't need to. What are you thinking!?"
"Don't worry. I'm handling it. Besides, it's mainly going to take place outside. I'm planning on having tours around the house with only a certain amount of people at a time, so calm yourself down..."
"Why can't you do it?"
"...We're gonna be doing our job… Seriously, man…"
"...Okay, so where does Derrick and company come in at."
"Well, first we need to find a way to separate Ryan from the rest… We need something that would get his attention and we obviously can't seem too 'try hard', or else they will see right through it and we'll get caught. We should have never involved them, 'cause if we didn't, we wouldn't be in this situation now..."
"In all honesty, I'm surprised they're even coming..."
"It's obvious to why. They wanna foil our plans, so we need to outsmart them like I said. As I just told you, it was a bad move by even including them in the first place. There's eight of them, so this is gonna be very to get rid of all of them..."
Back at the beach house, Derrick was the last person to enter. He closed the door before removing his towel, straw hat, and sunglasses from his body.
"Alright, I'm gonna call order the pizza while you guys wash up."
Not waiting for anyone else to give him a verbal answer, he began making his way to his room, with Victoria following behind him starting another conversation.
"Ladies first." Bonnie stated to Chica, his hand showing her the way.
"Oh, you're such a gentleman." She chortled as she went along, Ryan telling Val that he never minded her going first. Thus, it left Freddy and Foxy to decide, and they all ended up doing a simple game that was known by pretty much everyone in existence.
"Scissors beat paper. I win, haha!"
And there went Foxy.
In total, that left Ryan, Freddy, and Bonnie alone.
"I'll see what's on TV. Maybe we can all watch Ninja Warrior or something..." Bonnie said as he walked over to the living room area.
Ryan shifted his head to Freddy, who found him to be looking a little worried in his face. Predicting what he had in his mind, he placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry. We will all be fine tomorrow night."
"..." It came to a point to where Freddy sighed and closed his eyes. Turns out that Ryan Norrison was just a little off. "I've talked to Golden again today..."
"And?"
"...I think he's worried about my own sake. By the time I was done talking to him, I can just tell by the tone of his voice that he's concerned, like he always has since I was born. I know we're probably both overreacting, but let's face it. Supposed that man had a weapon? He could have easily killed both Bonnie and Chica. Then, what? What are we gonna tell everyone?"
"But he didn't, though." Bonnie, who now had his left leg over his right knee was scrolling through channels. "Me and Chica defended ourselves just fine.:
"But what if he did?"
"But he still didn't, and that's the whole point." Bonnie shook his head. "What you said was a 'what if' that didn't happen, Freddy. Tomorrow's happening no matter what and there's one of him, and then there are eight of us. I'm pretty sure we're gonna win"
"Yeah, only one of him. In other words, not even counting who knows how many people tried to bust a move on us twice..." He brought up. "Since he knows that we know, I can just imagine. I know that you and Chica are still hurt about it."
"..." That was when Bonnie sighed. "Yeah... We are."
"We are too. If any of us is hurt, then we're all hurt." Ryan said to Freddy. "Look, I understand that we are all involved in a potential life threatening situation, and I know that we have no proof that Ben's guilty, but we're gonna make him guilty tomorrow. All of our lives are on the line, but that's why we need to look out for one another."
"And even though Chica was targeted first last time, it doesn't mean we're just gonna let her get taken away again." Bonnie added with a smirk. "I know they're gonna go after her, so we gotta plan ahead. We just can't let Chica go anywhere by herself. As for the rest of us, we have to catch Ben and make sure he get what he deserves. Don't worry, we'll all be fine."
Freddy Fazbear ended up staring at the ground. "I hope you're right, guys. I hope you're right..."
Sorry if things got too cheesy at the end, but I figured that was just Freddy being Freddy. He knows what needs to be done, but he still has his concerns, which I wouldn't even blame him for, since everything he said was one hundred percent true, so I think he has a right to feel what he feels like.
Questions:
1. So how about next time where everything's gonna happen? Since they're gonna give Ben what he deserves, would their actions be um... 'subtle', or would it be a more 'cut-throat' strategy? (This is probably a weird question, but I had to think of something since this is the only question I can think of lol.)
I will see you all soon so we can see how things play out!
