A Family Like This

A Five Nights at Freddy's Story

Chapter Twenty-Five: Arguing with a Brick Wall

"But Matthew! Bonnie!" Melody whined. We need to check on my mom and Mikey!"

"I know, I know," the rabbit said. "But, the manager said we need to wait here, and he's the boss." Melody fumed as the puppet nodded.

"Bonnie has a point," He said. "There's nothing we can do to help...its best we wait here..." Melody huffed as she ran her hand through her hair. "It will be fine...no one will get hurt." Melody looked at him.

"Promise?" The puppet paused momentarily, almost hesitating, before nodding firmly.

"Promise." Melody nodded, not sure if she believed the puppet.

"Well, how about you show me how to play that mini guitar!" Bonnie said, hoping to change the conversation. Melody looked at him before sighing, knowing full well that she wasn't going to get very far with them.

"Okay...We can do that..."

Meanwhile

Mike winced as he felt a throbbing pain in both his head and side. He couldn't remember what had happened, only that he saw the yellow bear and shoved Vincent out of the way to try and keep the bear from killing him. He had only seen the bear once, but the bear had quickly vanished when Mike looked away, panicking. He looked around the room, trying to figure out where he was.

"You tried protecting him..." A child's voice said, confused. "Why?"

"W-What?" Mike asked slowly, trying to find the owner of the voice.

"Why did you protect him?" Mike shrugged, wincing.

"B-Because I didn't want him to get hurt..." Mike said. "I don't like seeing people get hurt..."

"Even if they don't deserve it?" Mike was confused but his head was starting to spin, so he tried to focus on not spewing chunks. He focused on the ceiling and sighed.

"...I'm not someone capable of passing a judgement like that..." Mike said after a few minutes. "All I know is that it's better to have been a decent person and then be betrayed by someone then to be a jerk and miss out on good, happy moments..." Mike began to see spots dance in front of him as he heard the voice made a small 'hmm' sound as if thinking about what he said.

"I suppose you're right...there have been some nice people and moments over the years...maybe I should..." He heard the voice say before everything went to black.

"Mrs. Schmidt..." Chip said slowly as the woman had finished explaining what she knew pertaining to the Missing Children Incidents, the Bites, and experienced Fazbear Entertainment's way of 'solving' problems; aka blackmail, bribery, and keeping certain voices quiet for good. "How...why..."

"Christopher," Virginia sighed. "I am a single mother and I suffered 'physical' trauma regarding the 'psycho' that had a hand with the Missing Children Incident; even if I had evidence or any physical proof, it's Fazbear's word against mine. And I will not risk my babies's lives...but fat lot of good that did..." She sighed sadly as she wiped her face. "I should've made Michael quit..."

"And what good would that have done?" Jeremy asked. "He would've come back anyways." Virginia and Chip looked at him. "It's just a hunch, I mean, after all, I was just as stupid too at that age." Virginia didn't look impressed.

"Uh huh." Jeremy shrugged as Chip shook his head. Virginia sighed before looking at Chip. She was about to say something before they heard the sound of a cat in a paper-shredder. Chip shot up and the adults ran to the sound, to find not a cat in a paper-shredder, but instead, the purplish blue rabbit trying, key word being trying, to play Melody's violin. Melody was forcing a smile as she covered her ears, trying to still be polite as the puppet was against the wall as if he would be able to sink into the wall and escape the 'music' and not fall asleep.

"What-Bonnie? What are you doing?" Chip demanded. Bonnie stopped and chuckled nervously.

"Melody was teaching me how to play this mini guitar!"

"It's a violin!" Melody grumbled. "And you took it from me..." Virginia sighed and rubbed her temples. as her daughter looked her. "Momma..." Virginia looked at her. "Are you alright now?" Virginia smiled softly and nodded.

"I am, sweet heart..." She got to Melody's eye level. "And I'm sorry for not telling you or Mikey about what I knew..." Melody nodded.

"I forgive you momma...but no more secrets..." Virginia smiled before she hugged her daughter.

"No more secrets..." Chip coughed awkwardly.

"Well, we need to go find Mike and that other guy."

"Other guy?" Bonnie asked in confusion.

"Vincent," Virginia said firmly. "I use to work with his mom, and he's help baby sit Melody and Mike...he's a family friend."

"Oh..." Chip said slowly, the name sounding familiar, overhearing it from his grandfather or something. He shook his head before sighing. "Well, either way, we need to find them..."

"Where should we start?" Melody asked and Chip shook his head.

"We," He said, gesturing to the adults. "Are going to look. It's too dangerous for a child your age-"

"Oh don't you even go there!" Melody demanded, placing her hands on her hips. "Mikey's my brother and I'm not gonna be told I'm too young to make sure he's ok!" Chip blinked slowly, clearly not expecting that reaction, as Virginia covered her mouth, trying not to laugh as Jeremy smirked. "Now you better start suggesting where we should start looking or I'm going to start looking somewhere first!" Chip frowned.

"I am the manager here at Freddy's!"

"And I don't care if you're a Disney Prince! You can't tell me what to do!" Bonnie started to snicker, though he stopped when Chip glared at him, earning the snickering of Jeremy as Matthew slipped away from the group.

"Melody..." Virginia tried saying before she lost it at her daughter's face. "She's definitely your kid Jeremy..." Jeremy frowned slightly.

"Hey...you're just as stubborn..." He said weakly, though his face was bright pink. Melody rolled her eyes in annoyance and groaned.

"Momma..."

Yeah, I have no real idea how this chapter works or how to continue, but hey, an update is better than no update, right?

Freddy: ...aren't you planning on rewriting this anyways?

Maybe, maybe not, it all depends on the plot bunnies. *gestures to one, who is chewing on a skull, ala Monty Python and the Holy Grail*

Freddy: ...huh, interesting...little guy.

Yep, but on the other hand, at least he hasn't taught Bonnie anything yet...*Freddy looks horrified as the bunny grins at him*

So I hope you guys enjoy this rather random-ish chapter, and thank you so much for keeping up with this series ^^

Please Leave a CONSTRUCTIVE/COHERENT Review and Enjoy~!
