Nothing much had happened at the pizzeria. The customers came, the kids laughed and had fun, the parents watched their kids smile until closing. Although, if you paid attention, you'd have seen that one of the animatronics was acting...off.
"See you all tomorrow." Mr. Fazbear said as he walked out and closed the door, leaving the girls alone for another night. The girls just watched as he got into his car and left before they began to talk amongst themselves. Freddi walked off and away from the others while they all looked at her in concern. She'd been acting like she was on autopilot all day, just smiling and waving, not saying much unless she was singing on stage. When one of them asked what was wrong, she'd either go silent or growl at them. They all gathered in Pirate's Cove inside the prop ship to talk about it.
"What's gotten into her?" Mangle asked as they all found a place to sit.
"I know she has a tendency to be cold, but she's never been cold to us." said Bonnie.
"Did she say anything to you TF?" Foxy asked, only to recieve a sigh in return.
"Yeah. She told me to piss off." TF said, her eyes to the floor.
"I..." BG started, gaining everyone's attention. "I think...that it's Tony's fault."
"Tony?" TC asked in bewilderment. "Why him?"
"You don't think...he tried anything 'funny' with Freddi, do you?" Maria asked.
"I don't think so." BG said. "I asked Tony why Freddi had run from the office just before we opened today."
"And?" Chica asked when BG looked hesitant to continue.
"He said...He said he showed her his face." she finally finished.
"He did?!" almost all of them shouted.
"He actually took them off?!" TB asked.
"He showed his face?" said Mangle.
"Why would that freak her out?" Foxy asked. "We've seen the scars on his arms. It couldn't have been that bad on his face, could it?"
"Maybe...he has a record." said BG. They all stared at each other, fear and concern on their faces.
"You don't think she's gonna...stuff him into a suit." said Maria.
"Don't say that!" TF yelled. "He's a nice guy!"
"It could just be an act." mumbled TC, hoping that it was all nothing serious. Even if he did have a record, she didn't want to think of going a night without seeing Tony.
"I know." TB said. "Goldie! Are you there?" All of them turned to TB as she called out Goldie's name. "Please Goldie! We need to talk to you!"
"You called?" Goldie asked as she floated through the hull of the ship until she was all the way in and was floating in the room. The moment they saw her, they began flooding her with questions. She could only make out a few words before she had enough and switched to her scary form and yelled at them all, silencing them at once. When she saw that they weren't going to say anything, she switched back before crossing her arms and calmly spoke. "Now, TB, what did you call me for?" TB still looked scared, but she shook her head and stepped forward.
"We wanna know...is Tony a criminal?" she asked.
"No, he's not." Goldie answered. All of them sighed in relief after hearing that before TB perked up.
"If he's not a criminal, then why did Freddi freak out and act funny?" she asked.
"That's not for me to say." said Goldie. "If you wish to know, you'll have to ask him yourself." She disappeared before they could say anything else. They all looked at each other, silently asking themselves if they wanted to know. If Freddi's reaction said anything, it was that there was more to Tony than they thought.
-11:50 P.M.-
Tony had arrived, changed, and was now sitting in his office, ready for another night at work.
'Wonder how long it'll take for my ribs to fully heal?' he thought as flipped the tablet up and flipped through the views. He spotted them all in their daytime forms before noticing one of them was missing. 'Wonder where BG is?' he thought before he sighed and put the tablet down and just stared in front of him. "Hello BG."
"Hey Tony." she said with a smile from where she sat on his desk. "Feeling any better?"
"Still a little sore, but I'm okay." he said as she jumped off his desk and walked towards him. "How were things today?"
"Noisy kids running everywhere, pizza being made all day, messes being made everywhere." she said as she counted on her fingers.
"A normal day then?" Tony asked.
"Uh huh." she said before jumping up and sitting in his lap. Tony looked down at her while she flipped the tablet open and looked around.
"I've been meaning to ask." he said. "How does your synthetic skin move so well in both your day and night forms?"
"That's easy." she said as she held out her arm. "Pull on it." Tony raised an eyebrow under his shades as he looked down at her arm. "Come on, ya big baby."
"Fine." he said in defeat. He slowly brought his fingers to her skin and gently pulled on it before it started to stretch. "It stretches?"
"Yep." she said with a grin as Tony let her skin go, watching it snap into place immediately. "I guess it was made so that it didn't tear when my endoskeleton enlarges at night." she said as an electric buzzing was heard and she started growing. Tony watched as she grew in his lap before he feet touched the floor and her head was resting up on his shoulder. "That's better." she said as she laid there on Tony, who was looking away from her. He tried to do his best not to look down at her breasts from behind her, which made her laugh while looking up at him. "You're so cute when you're shy." she said as she raised her arms up and wrapped them around his neck.
"Huh? What? C-Cute?" he stuttered, making her giggle. Tony froze where he sat, not knowing what to do at the moment. "You...you think so?"
"Yeah." she said as Tony put his arms down on the arm rests. "You know you can hold me, right?"
"Huh?!" he said, his body going rigid.
'It's almost too funny seeing him act this way.' she thought as she leaned back against him. "Go on." she said. Tony didn't react at first, but then he slowly moved his arms around her thin waist and pulled her into a soft hug. "See? That wasn't so bad, was it?"
"No. I'm just...not used to all this." he said, his heart speeding up at how soft her body felt. 'What is she made of?' he thought as he heard her hum in content.
"You're really warm." she said, making Tony blush under his bandages. While he was mumbling to himself in an attempt to get his thoughts together, BG was smiling while looking away in thought. 'Okay. Make him feel comfortable, then ask about his bandages. Don't force it.' she thought.
"You think I'm cute?" he said, mentally slapping himself for asking that. "I mean, how can you say I'm cute if all you see are bandages?"
"Tony, we've seen tons of grown men with kids come in here that were cute, hot even." she said. "But the moment we saw that they had criminal records, they became walking piles of scum to us. And since we found out that you hold no record, I decided that you're cute."
"Oh. Well...thanks." he said, a smile forming under his white mask.
'Okay, I've got him calm.' she thought. 'Let's see if I can lead him towards taking off the bandages.' She turned to look up at him with a smile while she placed her hands on his, making him look down at her. "Still, it's sad that you do wear those bandages." she said. "It feels like you're trying to close yourself off from the world."
"A little." he said in a whisper. Her smile faded as he spoke. "It's hard to wish to be a part of a world that can't see past the surface."
"Oh...I'm sorry." she said as she looked down. 'Well that backfired.' she thought. 'Now I can't ask. Let's try and take his mind off that subject.' She began to scan the room for anything that they could talk about before her eyes fell on Tony's backpack in the corner. "Hey, is there anything else in your backpack besides your street clothes and extra bandages?"
"Just some books I've been reading." he said.
"Books?" she asked as she got up and went over to the backpack. "With paper and tons of words?"
"What? You never seen a book before?" he asked.
"I've seen them. I've heard of them. But I've never read them." she said as she opened it up and looked through to find four books. "I'm programmed to give kids balloons and greet people at the door. Nothing else."
"Wanna read one?" Tony asked. You could see the sparkle in her eyes at his question.
"Can I?" she asked in excitement.
"Sure, go ahead."
"YAY!" she yelled before taking the books and running off with them, her curiosity of what Tony looks like completely gone. Tony just blinked before he sat back into his chair.
"Sheesh. You'd think Mr. Fazbear would've let them do something besides aimlessly roam the pizzeria at night." he said as he went back to the monitors. He checked to see most of them were were hanging out with their toy selfs except for TF, who was talking with an excited BG. He watched in silence as TF stared at one of the books before opening one to read, and big smile on her face. He smiled as the both of them sat down and began to read the books before he switched the monitors before spying Freddi almost hidden away on the stage. She appeared to be sitting with her knees to her chest, her arms over her knees, and her face hidden away. "Wonder if she's in the mood to talk." he said before he put the tablet down and walked out the door. He walked down the hallway and towards the main stage to see that Freddi was still sitting in the same spot. "Hey Freddi." he said as he walked onto the main stage and stopped when he was a foot away from her.
"Go away." she said without looking up at him. Tony didn't react at first, but then he sighed and sat down with his legs crossed in front of her.
"Why does it bother you?" he asked. She raised her head just enough to show her eyes as he continued. "My old name of Benjamin Anton." She narrowed her eyes at him before looking away.
"We...had a relative of yours here once." she said. "It was a day that I wish I wasn't told of." Tony tilted his head in confusion, telling her that he had no idea what she was talking about."
"A relative?" he asked before he put he closed his eyes and thought. "Who was it?"
"A man by the name of Vincent Anton." she said.
"Oh." he said in disinterest. "Uncle Vinny."
"So you know him then?" she asked.
"Yeah. He used to slap me around everytime he visited, but...then he just disappeared one day when I was little. Can't remember when or how though." he said.
"Guess your parents never caught wind of him hurting you then, huh?" she asked.
"Oh, they knew." he said, shocking her as he went on. "But one of them was too scared to stop it, while the other one held me down and helped."
"WHAT KIND OF PERSON DOES THAT TO THEIR OWN CHILD?!" she shouted as she quickly stood up, making Tony jump at her voice.
"Jeez! Don't scare me like that!" he said, his hand clutching his chest.
"Sorry." she said. "It's just...Purple Guy did something unforvigable a long time ago."
"Purple Guy?" Tony asked as he stood up.
"It's what we called your uncle." she said. "We were told and shown pictures of his work. He...wore a spare suit and...lead some kids out of si-sight," she said, her voice cracking up at the memories. "5 kids were...were stuffed into-into suits and...and..." she couldn't continue on as her shoulders shook, as if she was holding back the sobs. Tony looked on in horror and pity before she lunged and held him in a hug before wailing. Tony just hugged her as this animatronic bear women, who had hated his guts since they met, who threatened to kill him if he screwed up, had now shared something that she wished was forgotten and was now crying on his shoulder. "Why?! Why would somebody do that to a child?!" she cried out.
"I don't know." he said. "Some people...are just twisted." They stayed like that for a few moments as she got the crying out of her system before breaking apart.
"Thanks." she said. "I just...couldn't hold it back any longer."
"No worries." he said. "Still, I'm surprised I never knew about this till now."
"Maybe you blocked it out." she said.
"Maybe." he said before sighing. "Well, I'm gonna get back to the office. Come talk to me if you wanna get something else off your chest."
"I will. And Tony." she said.
"Yes?" he asked as her looked at her, only to see that she was an inch from his face and glaring at him.
"If you tell anyone I cried like that, I'll break your legs!" she warned.
"Noted." he gulped before running off, remembering that she was still scary.
A/N: And now we know a little more about Tony.
