"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...WHOA...What's this? Is this Chapter 12? No, it couldn't be. Chapter 12 should take at least another two weeks, right?" You ask yourself in disbelief. Well, yes, unbelieving reader. This IS chapter 12. I got on my grind like I've never gotten on my grind before to get this one finished. Think of this as the Cabin Edition 2.0, because I basically wrote and edited this entire thing at my cabin. Like a few other chapters that I've done, this and Chapter 13 were originally going to be one big chapter...
...buuuuuuuut, by the time I got to the end of THIS chapter, I thought, "y'know, I'mma make this two smaller chapters so people aren't wait six years for this to be finished." So yeah, hope you enjoy it! This one was, while a little weird to write, still pretty fun to do non-the-less. Before we start, I would just like to remind everyone that the poll I'm holding is STILL going on, and currently only one person has voted. Thanks for that, you not so mysterious person you. Well, not mysterious to me at least. But getting back to the point, if you would like a say in what I should do next, please leave a vote. You can find it on my bio, but please, I really want to hear what you guys want to see from me. Now, with all that out of the way, let the story begin! Time to fire up my new Disclaimer Launcher 5000!

(If anyone can figure this out and tell me what it says, I'll give you a shout out.)
"Ha, ha, ha..." A black figure chucked from the darkness of the basement. "Everything is going according to plan..."
"Well, are you proud of yourself?" A voice said from behind the figure.
"Ehh?" The black figure turned around. "Ah...Mari...Please forgive me for missing our meeting last night. I was rather...busy..."
"I can see that." Mari replied, indignantly. "You've caused a great deal of trouble tonight. Mr. Fazworth would not be impressed."
"Mr. Fazworth," the figure began, seeming irritated at the mention of the man's name. "is a disgrace to the restaurant name itself. I'm ashamed to call him my owner."
"He was only doing his job. You can't blame-"
"Don't tell me who I can and can't blame! How can you not see what he's done. He deceived us. Threw us away. Threw her away...and replaced her with that purple pile of trash...and then, to add insult to injury, he replaced him with that...that...disgraceful excuse for a bunny! I will not stand by and let her suffer because of them. I'll make sure they feel all the pain that she had to go through!" Mari took a step forward.
"Well, as much as I understand your reason for anger, I will not allow you to lay a figure on them. Any of them."
"Oh, really? And what are you gonna do stop me, puppet?" The shadow seemed to smirk, and took a fighting pose. Mari didn't let the black figure intimidate him as he prepared himself for the hardest thing he'd ever have to do. "Well then," said the shadow. "after you..."
Bonnie stomped down the hall away from the Parts and Service room, though not loud enough to wake anyone. He was furious. How could someone like Freddy Fazbear be so heartless? So cruel! He was so upset over the whole situation, that when he walked into one of the party rooms, he almost didn't notice Bon sitting by the vent with her guitar.
"Bonnie!" the young bunny cheered quietly as she leaped up from her spot, ran over to the bunny and rapped her arms around him, nearly knocking. Bonnie almost forgot to be angry when he saw the blue belle's bright face and returned the hug warly.
"H-Hi Bon. What're you doing up this late?" Bon let go.
"U-Um...j-just practicing...for tomorrow." she said feebly. She wouldn't dare tell Bonnie that she was righting a song for him. Not yet, at least. Still, she wanted to thank him properly for what he'd done for her. "U-Um. I'm glad you're here though. I wanted to talk to you." Bonnie would have raised an eyebrow, had Fritz given him a pair to raise. Instead, he just looked at the bunny, perplexed.
"R-Really, what about?" Bon, rather suddenly, gave the purple bunny another hug, this one tighter and even more caring.
"W-Well, um...I wanted to say...thank you, for saving me and my friends from being..." Bon could feel a small sob coming on, but tried to hide it the best she could. The feeling subsided however, when Bonnie put a hand on the back of Bon's head, prompting her to look up.
"Hey, it was a team effort, right?" he asked, grinning down at the bunny. "You did just as much as I did." Bon looked up at the bunny, a smile plastered on her face. After a moment, Bonnie let go of the blue bunny. His smile faltering as he breathed a heavy sigh. Bon was confused.
"Is everything okay, Bonnie?" she asked, letting him go. Bonnie slumped down against the wall and held up his head with one hand.
"Yeah...it's just..." he trailed off. Bon sat down and scooted over to him.
"What?"
"Well...my friends...they..." Bon tilted her head.
"'They,' what?" Bonnie sighed.
"They found out about...well, us. And Freddy...kiiiinda freaked out. And he called me a...a..." Bonnie stuttered as tears began to fill his eyes.
"'A,' what?" Bon asked.
"A...h-hippo..." the bunny finally said, sadly. Bon would have been shocked if it weren't for one thing.
"Um...Bonnie?"
"Y-Yeah?"
"What's a hippo?"
Bonnie would've chuckled at the bunny's innocents if he wasn't feeling so blue. "It's a big, heavy animal that kinda has a face like mine. But it's a lot bigger, and it's kinda ugly looking." Bonnie sniffed.
"Oh..." Bon sighed, looking down. After a second, she looked back at Bonnie. "W-Well, I don't think you're a hippo..." she said, putting her hand on Bonnie's shoulder. The bunny sniffed again.
"R-Really?"
"Of course not. I think you're a big, sweet, purple bunny, no matter what Freddy calls you. If it weren't for you, me and my friends wouldn't be here right now." Bon looked away for a second. "A-And, also...I'm sorry about...y'know, pulling your ears...and making you trip on the floor." Bonnie smiled.
"That's okay. It made it all the more convincing. I'm sorry for calling you a blue brat...a-and for snapping at you earlier..." Bon returned the smile.
"That's alright. Like you said, it made it all the more con-...con-...um..."
"Con-vinc-ing." Bonnie sounded out.
"Yeah, con-vinc-ing."
The two giggled a little, before Bonnie's face fell again. "I just wish they never had to know about this. They'll never trust me again, or probably even want me around after that." Bonnie's ears wilted.
"Well," Bon started. "you could always...um..."
No...no more being shy about this...
"You could always come with me...to the stage..." Bonnie blinked at the request.
"W-What? What do you mean?"
"Well, you're not all that beat up...and you never really tried to hurt any of us...I'm sure my friends'll trust you once they get to know you." Bonnie almost couldn't believe his ears.
"Y-You really mean it?" Bon nodded. "B-But, what will Mr. Fazworth say? He wanted you to be the star guitar player, not me."
"I'm sure if we explained to him what happened, he'll understand. And I'm sure having an extra guitar player couldn't hurt." Bonnie smiled the brightest Bon had ever seen.
"Oh, thank you Bon!" he said happily. "It would be an honour to preform on stage once again!" But as he reached his arm around Bon's midsection to give her a hug, something he wasn't expecting happened happened.
"Heh, heh." Bon giggled cutely. Bonnie smirked and did it again. Once again, Bon giggled a little.
"Oh, ticklish, are we?" Bonnie said with an evil smile. Bon quickly tried to cover her stomach in an attempt to protect herself from the bunny's grasp, but unfortunately for her, Bonnie was able to breach her defences and began to tickle her belly fiercely. Bon shrieked with glee as the bunny moved his way up to her under arms, which gave him an even better reaction. "P-P-Please...ha!...st-stop!...tee hee..." But Bonnie kept on going. Bon squealed again and tried to escape into the vent, but Bonnie caught her by her feet and began to tickle them as well. Bon let out another adorable squeal as she was dragged out of the vent rolled over onto her back. Bonnie pinned to the bunny, whose face was more red than blue, to the ground, as to not let her escape. He smiled mischievously as he ran his hand up and down her stomach, teasing the bunny with each stroke. But before he could continue the fun, a sharp pain hit him right in the stomach. The bunny flopped onto the floor and rolled onto his side. Bon was all kinds of confused, until she looked to her left. She gulped at what she saw.
It was Fred.
Oh no...
"Get away from her, you purple piece of scrape iron!" he yelled, continuing his assault. Bonnie looked back, while holding his stomach.
"Wh-Wha-? Ooff!" he yelled as kicked him again. The bunny tried to stand up, but as he got to his feet, Fred threw a punch straight into the bunny's mid section. "F-Fre- Woah!" the bunny tried to say as Fred shoved him to the floor. Bon watched in horror as the bear hit Bonnie with blow after blow. Bonnie didn't want to hurt one of Bon's friends, but he wasn't gonna just sit there and let the bear wail on him. Blocking the next punch Fred had thrown with his left hand, he positioned his foot under the bears stomach and nearly made the bear go air born as he pushed him off. Now he'd done it. Fred was beyond fuming now. As he came in for another assault, Bonnie, who was barely able to get to his feet, took a swing in self defence. The bear easily dodged the bunny's attack and threw one at his mid section. Bonnie felt almost paralyzed by the punch, and crumbled like a wall onto his stomach. He looked up, only to see Fred standing over him.
"Now," Fred began, seething with rage. "do as you were told and go back to the Parts and Service room where you belong, you big, purple, wretched, hippopotamus!" Both Bon and Bonnie's eyes widened at hearing this insult. Bonnie glanced at Bon, who was paralyzed with fear. Then back at Fred, who's arms were crossed and eyes black as could be.
"F-Fine...I...I will..." Bonnie struggled to say as he, very weakly, got to his feet. Vix and Chi, alerted by the noise, raced into the room.
"What's going on in here?" Vix asked. She and Chi were most surprised to see a rather sad and hurt looking Bonnie leaving the room.
"What's that thing doing here?" Chi asked rudely, making Bonnie feel even worse.
"He was trying to attack Bon." Fred replied. "Probably attempting to get his revenge for- Ooof!" Before the bear could finish his hypothesis, Bon slugged him fiercely in the stomach. "Arg! Bon, what was that for?" Fred asked angrily. It was then he noticed Bon's eyes. For the first time in her life, they were a cold, heartless shade of black.
"That's for hurting him!" Bon replied, shrilly. The bunny's three friends gave her confused looks.
"W-What? But he was attacking-" Fred was cut off almost instantly by the enraged bunny.
"No, he wasn't!" Bon yelled back. "He was doing anything but hurting me! Agh! How can you be so stupid!" Now it was Fred's turn to get angry.
"Me? Stupid?! That thing-"
"He has a name, Fred!" Bon replied. "And he's not like those other animatronics! He's different!" Fred raised an eyebrow.
"And how would you know? Don't you remember what he did to Chi?" Bon growled angrily, which made even Fred feel a little intimidated.
"I'll have you know that if it weren't for him, Chi would have been hacked to pieces by that fox!"
"Hey! Are you saying-" This time, is was Chi who was cut off.
"Yes! Yes I am! I'm sorry Chi, but you really were no match for that fox. That's why Bonnie paired you up with Chica!" Once again, Bon's friends were confused.
"Wait," said Fred. "what do you mean by, 'paired up?' Is there something you've been hiding from us, Bon?" The bunny, though feeling like a complete dope for blowing her big secret, didn't back down from the bear.
"Okay, listen. Every night for the past few nights, that bunny has met me in secret to teach how to play guitar. A-And last night, he told me that his friends were planning to attack us."
The three listened to Bon's story, wide eyed with wonder. "S-So the two of us came up with a plan to stop them from destroying you guys. And when things went wrong, he told me to do what you saw me do earlier tonight." Bon paused and closed her eyes. A small tear trickled down her cheek. "He saved us. All of us. And, when his friends found out...they..." Bon chocked back a sob. "attacked him. Or, at least the bear did. And he called him...an awful name...so he left. And when I saw him tonight, I was so happy to see him after what we went through, and so thankful that he saved us, that I asked him if he would like to join us on stage. But then you," Bon said, increasing her tone in voice and pointing at Fred. "came in and attacked him. Even though it was painfully obvious that he wasn't hurting me. But that didn't stop you, did it? And not only that, but you called him that awful name! The same one his friends called him!"
Bon turned away from the trio, who were still in awe of her story. "I wanted to share this amazing thing Mr. Fazworth gave us with him," She turned back. "because he makes me feel something I've never felt before. I don't know how to describe it, but I always feel happy whenever I'm around him. But now, because of you..." Another tear ran down Bon's rosy red cheeks. "He probably...No! Definitely hates me. He'll never trust me again because of you!" Angry tears streamed down the poor bunny's face. "A-And the worst part is...I didn't stop you...I was too afraid of YOU to stick up for him..." Fred looked down at the floor. He felt terrible. "Now if you'll excuse me," Bon said, walking past the three. "I need to go find him...and apologize..."
With that, the bunny walked off, leaving her friends in disbelief and sadness. Fred felt worst of all. The bear, sadly and slowly, turned and began walking back to the stage. "Fred?" Vix asked as he past her and Chi by. Fred didn't respond. He just kept on walking.
What's wrong with me?
Bonnie walked slowly and sadly back to the Parts and Service room. He felt weak, tired and hurt, both physically and emotionally. Though he knew Bon wasn't to blame for what had happened, he couldn't help but feel betrayed. She just stood there, watching as he took blow after blow from Fred. Bonnie was so confused. How should he feel?
Angry?
Sad?
He just couldn't say. All he knew was that, regardless of what Freddy would do to him, he wanted to go back in the Parts and Service room. As he approached the door, his knees began to feel weak and shaky. Before he could push the door open, they gave out on him altogether and he crashed to the floor, knocking his head against the door. The large door creaked open and the head of one of his 'friends' poked out.
"Bonnie!" Chica cried, running to the bunny's aid. "Are you okay?" Bonnie could only groan as pain settled all over his body.
"Laddie! What 'appened to ye'?" Foxy said as he as well ran to Bonnie's side and helped him sit up. "Who did this to ye'?"
"Isn't it obvious, Foxy?" Freddy said from the darkness of the Parts and Service room. "They did it." The bear looked dead at Bonnie. "Bring him inside, being out here isn't going to do him any good." The two bots nodded as they dragged the beaten up bot into the Parts and Service room. "Well...anything to say for yourself?" Freddy asked when the bunny was inside and propped up against the wall. Bonnie looked down at the ground. He didn't speak. He couldn't. He had no words to say. All that came out was a sad and empty sigh. Freddy 'hmph'ed' and turned to Foxy and Chica. They both looked at each other, then back at Freddy.
"I believe," Freddy began. "that we have some unfinished business to attend to." The others, except for Bonnie, nodded. "Care to come with us, Bonnie?" The bunny found the strength to shake his head as if to say 'no.' Freddy turned his head. "Very well then. Chica...Foxy...shall we?" The two nodded once more. Without a word, Freddy led the others out of the room. Foxy was the last to leave. He looked down at the bunny.
"I'm sorry it had ta' come to this' lad..." With that, Foxy left the bunny alone in the darkness of the Parts and Service room. With a creek and a groan, Bonnie fell into a deep sleep.
Bon stomped loudly down the hallway with her arms straight down by her sides. Now she was furious. So angry in fact, that she didn't notice where she was going until...-
*Bonk*
She ran into the big steel door of the Parts and Service room. "Oops," Bon muttered as she gazed up at the door. She could't help but wonder if Bonnie was inside. Maybe if she took just a little peak, she'd be able to tell. Then Bon remembered something...
They'll never trust me again, or even want me around after that...
These words echoed through Bon's mind. Even if Bonnie was in there, so were his friends...
...Either way, it probably not the best idea to just barge in.
Oh, but then where was he?
Maybe Mari could help her find him! He was always kind and understanding. She knew he'd be much more opened minded about Bonnie than Fred was. Bon frowned. She hoped that Bonnie wasn't too mad at her. But one thing at a time! Bon turned away from the Parts and Service room and marched straight towards the Prize Corner. Unbeknownst to her however, she was being watched by three pairs of eyes...
Fred sat sadly on the show stage. He couldn't sleep. He didn't want to anyway. He felt absolutely awful about what happened, and was rather cross with himself. For the second time in one week, he'd hurt Bon's feelings! And this time, Bon wasn't so forgiving. And to her right, too. He deserved that punch she'd thrown at her. He deserved to be yelled at.
...But what I don't deserve...is to be a leader...
"Mr. Fred...are you okay?" a voice asked. Fred looked down.
"Oh, hi Balloon Boy..." he said, glumly. "Y-Yeah...I've just been thinking..."
"About what?" Balloon Boy asked, tilting his head. Fred could only smile a little.
...Such an innocent animatronic...
"Don't worry about it Balloon Boy...it doesn't concern you..."
"Vix said you did something to Bon...is that true?" he asked sitting down on the stage next to him.
"Yeah...I did..."
"W-What did you do?" he asked.
"I..." Fred sighed and looked down at the floor. "I was an awful friend..." The bear looked back at Balloon Boy.
"Promise me one thing Balloon Boy..." The bear paused for a moment.
"Never jump to conclusions...about anything...I've done that twice already...and look where it's gotten me..." Balloon Boy nodded.
"Okay, Mr. Fred, I promise." The bear smiled a little.
"Good...now go back to the Kids Cove and check up on Vix." Balloon Boy nodded and did just as Fred told him. The bear went back to his sulking, until he was interrupted once again, this time by a certain bird touching his shoulder.
"Everything okay?" Chi, who was still missing her beak, asked as she sat down next to Fred.
"To be honest Chi...no..." the bear sighed.
"It's not your fault Fred. You didn't know what was going on. You were just trying to protect her." Fred looked down at the floor again.
"I know...but...I wish I went about it differently."
"Well," Chi said. "you're not the only one..." Fred looked up at the bird.
"W-What do you mean?"
"I mean your not the only one who wished they'd gone about things differently. I still wish I'd never hurt Bon like I did." Chi averted her gave for a moment, and looked at the floor like Fred had done. "B-But, even after all that...she still forgave me. I wish I could be more like her. So kind and caring..." The bird turned back for a moment. "Trust me...I'm sure she'll forgive you too. Just...give her a little time..." Fred smiled a little.
"Thanks Chi...that means more to me tha-" But Fred was very suddenly cut off by a deafeningly loud scream.
"What was that?" Chi asked.
"That's sounds like..."
"H-Help!"
"Bon!" Fred cried. "It must be those old animatronics!"
"Ugh! Don't they know when to quit?" Chi asked, folding her arms.
"Apparently not." Fred replied. "Quickly, get Vix and Balloon Boy. We'll need all the help we can get." Chi nodded.
"Right away!" The bird raced off as fast as her feet could carry her. Fred grimaced.
"Well, here we go again..."
A Few Minutes Earlier...
"Mari, are you there?" Bon said, knocking on the puppet's colourful box. Strangely, there was no answer. Bon lifted the flaps of the box and peered inside. It was empty. "Mari?" Bon was confused.
Where could Mari be?
"Well, well, well...look who we have here...the little blue negotiator herself..." Bon froze stiff at these words. She turned around and what she saw made her scream. There, in the shadows of the room, stood Freddy, Foxy and Chica. "You've been a bad bunny little one. A very bad bunny..." Bon gulped as the three broken animatronics closed in on her.
"H-Help!"
"Save your breath little girl..." Freddy said, menacingly. "No one can save you now. No, now you get to learn a lesson in karma...now where should we start?"
"How about with me?" The three animatronics turned around.
"Fred!" Bon cried.
"So...the little bear has come back to save the day...but tell me, 'Fred...' do you really think you can take on all of us?" The bear grimaced.
"Maybe he can't," another voice cried. A bright yellow bird, followed by a pink and white fox and a small animatronic. "but we can!" Now it was Freddy's turn to grimace. But showing no fear, he gave the command anyway.
"Foxy. Chica. Destroy those three. The bear and bunny are mine..." Foxy and Chica nodded.
"As ye' wish matey. Now lass. I believe we 'ave an old score ta' settle." Vix smirked.
"I guess we do. But you'll have to catch me first, and we both know you can't" Vix said tauntingly, running out of the room. Foxy, not wanting to back down from a challenge, gave chase. Chi and Balloon Boy glanced up at the larger bird.
"Come on tubby, let's see if you can keep up!" Chi said rudely.
"Tubby!?" Chica yelled in rage, chasing the animatronics out of the room like Foxy had done with Vix.
"Well, I guess it's me and you now." Freddy said, turning to the bear.
"Bon...get back. Let me deal with him." Bon nodded, but didn't say a word. She was just glad that Fred was here to protect her, even after how she had acted. "Well then, little bear," said Freddy, preparing for another duel.
"let's dance."
