Little Lights and Tiny Doors
A Five Nights at Freddy's Story
Chapter 21: The Author Tries to Make Some Sense
Springs frowned as he headed to Marion's house; basically Marion was having issues changing Jeremy back to normal and needed help. So there Spring was, walking and feeling confused. There was just something that didn't seem right with what that little girl said and he didn't quite believe what she said, after all, 'original personality'? He wasn't like the others at all, so why would he have that?
"I'm just going crazy," he finally said. "That's the real reason, I'm nuts!" He forced a laugh before spotting a familiar face walking his way. "Ms. Nadia?" The woman in question looked up from her phone and smiled slightly.
"Oh, it's you," she said. "Springs...right?"
"U-Uh, yeah, but um…you can call me Francis if you want..."
"Francis...that's nice..." She sighed before shaking her head. "I was out, trying to clear my head..."
"Oh?"
"Yeah...its been a while since I've seen my daughter and it seems like she refuses to change..." She sighed. "She and her father were close..." she sighed and shook her head. "She's never really gotten over it..."
"Over what?" Nadia blushed, not realizing that she said that part aloud before Springs put two and two together. "Wait...ooooh..." She raised an eyebrow. "Davis was your husband..."
"You know him?" Springs blinked a few times.
"Well...yeah, I guess you can say that..." He tried to think of a good lie before shrugging. "I used...to work with him..."
"Huh..." Nadia didn't seem to buy it, but she didn't push it. Instead, she looked at the sky for a moment, as if remembering something somber before smiling at Springs.
"You want to go for dinner?"
"Wait-What?!"
"Or breakfast...I mean it is past one...what about it?"
"Well, I've got to check on my friend...his magic spell backfired and he said he might need help..."
"Seriously?" Springs blinked, admittedly surprised by the woman.
"What?"
"Magic spell? What is he, a stage magician like David Copperfield?"
"Who?" Springs shook his head and sighed. "No, my friend isn't that kinda of magician...I think. He does more warping reality...wizardy stuff..."
"Uh huh."
"I'm serious!"
"I'm not judging." Springs realized that she didn't believe him. He frowned before sighing.
"Look, I have to check up on him...you can come if you want." Nadia smirked.
"Are you asking me on a date?" Springs went bright red and Nadia laughed. "I'm joking, joking, but sure I'll come along; got nothing else to do and I can't get back to sleep, even if I tired..."
"Huh..." Springs said slowly. "Sounds like my roommate..."
"Oh really?" She chuckled. "What's that like?" Spring smiled and began to talk about him and Gold's misadventures, though she raised an eyebrow at some of his pranks at Candy's.
"Course we didn't do anything illegal." Springs promised, chuckling at Nadia's face.
"Still..." She started before shaking her head and chuckling. "Honestly..." Springs smiled, his face a light pink before he winced, stopping. "Francis?" She asked warily. "Are you ok?"
"I-I...don't know..."He managed out. "For the past couple days...I've been seeing things," Nadia helped him to a nearby bus bench. "And even going to Marion's buddies to fix seem to have made it worse...I can't even get relief when I pass out..." Nadia held his hand and held him unintentionally close, trying to help him out.
"Deep breaths..." She said sternly. "And take your time...It's going to be ok..." Springs nodded slowly.
"I'm always watching somebody's memories play out..." He started to say. "T-Thought that was normal...Then the shit with the toddlers went down...and it seems like there's someone else's memories in my head..." Nadia frowned but before she could offer her own thoughts, Springs forced a nervous laugh. "You probably think I'm crazy..."
"No!" Nadia said sternly, making Springs look at her. "I don't think that! I think that you are more than likely tired...and stressed..." She sighed. "I know we've just met...but...I really don't want to see you hurting..." Springs blushed red as he looked at her, her own face flushed, close to his.
"I-I..um..." The next thing Springs knew was that he had taken her face in his hands and kissed her slowly. Nadia kissed back and while Springs admittedly had no idea what he was doing, but for some reason he didn't care as Nadia pulled him in closer and they continued their make out session.

Later (Around 3:00 AM)
Jeremy yawned and rubbed his eyes, making cute meows as he tried to remember what was going on; Mike had taken him to Marion's house, to hope and change him back to normal, and then Marion cast the spell, nothing happened, and Marion started to panic, with Gold, Shadow Bonnie trying to help calm him down, with Shadow Freddy watching the scene. And then something else happened, but Jeremy guessed he fell asleep with boredom.
"Owh well..." He mumbled to himself before he heard a soft chuckle. He looked around, not recognizing where he was, though it was dimly lit. "Huh?"
"You're a cute little kitten..." Jeremy whimpered softly as he grabbing his tail as a figure stepped into Jeremy's sight; the figure seemed to be Marion's height as a large rat looking animatronic and a shadowy colored large bear or cat follow behind.
"Mawoin?" Jeremy asked quietly. "Is tat weally you?" The figure that was Marion's height chuckled as the rat laughed.
"Wrong answer kiddo," He said. "Though it can be hard to see in this light..." He walked over to the wall and flicked the lights, illuminating the room. Jeremy realized that he was in a Parts and Service Room and that the figure that he had mistook as Marion, was in fact not Marion; this figure had blue colored cheeks, more somber feeling colors, and seemed to have resting bitch face (Marion had more 'Bemused Stoner', now that Jeremy thought about it briefly). He mewed quietly, feeling both extremely shy and scared. He hid behind his tail and shut his eyes, earning a gravely aw.
"That's cute..." A rather dry sounding voice said. "Now I can see why you wanted my help in messing with Chipper's magic...though, I'm still not sure about why this guy was the only one."
"Cause he's cat one, duh." The shadowy cat/bear said. "I'm a tad bias, after all." Jeremy peeped open an eye and looked at him, recongizing the voice.
"Sadoe Fweddy? Why awre we here?" The animatronic in question chuckled before getting close to Jeremy.
"My name is Shadow Candy, Kiddo." Jeremy blinked, mildly confused.
"Oh?"
"I was pretending to be him." Shadow Candy explained. "You see, we enjoy to mess with the Fazgang, and we took advantage of what happened to you and your little buddies." Jeremy looked at his feet, not sure how he should be feeling.
"Oh..." Shadow noticed this and ruffled his head.
"Don't worry about it scamper; it's not going to matter anyways." Jeremy looked at him. "You're going to be the new member of Candy's Burgers and Fries..." Jeremy made a squeak sound before he fainted, falling back and making a squeak sound as he landed. Shadow Candy blinked in surprised and checked his breath. "Does my breath stink?"
"Maybe." The puppet said, earning a snort from the rat and a glare from the cat. "What? You asked."

Springs and Nadia, showing that my writing in romantic stuff needs some work, Nadia is still a cynic on the whole 'magic is real' deal (She's more disillusioned than cynical about the idea of magic being real), and we see the other magical beings from Candy's (I need a good name for the Reverse Puppet, I was thinking maybe Jack, but I'm up for suggestions) And Poor Jer-Jer...
Springs: Poor Jer-Jer?! What about me!?
Jeremy's small, cute, and fluffier at the moment. And besides, you had Nadia at your side. Jeremy's got his tail and the not-Shadow Freddy *Springs doesn't look impressed with that excuse*
Springs: So Where is he anyways? Shadow Freddy I me-*Foxy tackles him*
Foxy: NO SPOILERS! *They wrestle*
Ok...then, but either way, here's another chapter, with me taking into account what what of the comments said, especially a comment(or? ar? er?) suggesting about it being all one mind and just the memories and Springs's challenge with it.
To Quote: "...he's still himself, but with extra memories...Rebecca turning into a adorable red panda cub triggered Davis' memories...Make the bit with Davis and Fredrick earlier some kind of dreamscape. He got his memories triggered by Rebecca and the challenge is to accept the memories etc as part of him" So I'm going to see if I can work this out...^ ^; But I am still open to ideas/thoughts/theories/etc
But either way, Please Leave a CONSTRUCTIVE Review and Enjoy~!
