Was this really happening…
Were they really there…
Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica stood frozen on stage. They were too stunned to move a muscles, worried that the toys would disappear if they were to move an inch out of place.
Kris stood by with a grin on her face as she looked between the two groups. "It's ok guys...they're really here"
Chica was the first to move. With a happy yet choked squawk, she practically flew off the stage to gather the group into a tight hug. Mari quickly untangled himself from the embrace, but the love was still felt none the less. The slight ghost of a smile that crossed his face didn't go unnoticed by the human girl watching on from where she sat herself on the edge of the stage. No matter how heartless the puppet acted, he obviously had something beating in there...metaphorically at least.
Bonnie was next to join the hug. His eyes were brimming with oily tears and he quickly rubbed them them away before hopping off stage and wrapping his arms around the opposite half of the group as chica. "I can't believe you guys are ok!" He sniffled and reached out to grab mari by the wrist before once more making the puppet a part of the hug. (And once more, he quickly removed himself)
Freddy still stood motionless on stage. "They're really here…" He glanced to Kris and she smiled softly at him before motioning for him to go join the others. He granted her a quick look of thanks before rushing off stage, releasing the death grip he held on his microphone and letting it drop to the floor as he joined the group. Just like bonnie, the bear also dragged Mari back into the hug. Before he could slip out again though, Foxy completed the circle around the toys. Sure he had already had his happy reunion with them, but he wasn't missing out on this.
"WILL YOU LET GO OF ME YOU BLOODY FOOLS!" Mari yelled and he teleported out of where he was crammed between everyone.
Kris chuckled "one...You know you actually like it Mari. And two...i still don't understand your magic. Like seriously, where the fuck did you learn how to do that stuff?"
Mari simply crossed his arms and shot her a glare "As if I would tell you." He turned his attention back to the reunion hug going on before disappearing with a wave of the hand. "If anybody needs me, I'll be with Goldie"
Mike raised a brow and looked over to Kris, slightly worried "Who's Goldie?" Kris simply shrugged and looked back to the bots. Mike sighed with a frown before making his way to the office where he planned on remaining for the rest of the night. In his opinion he got more than enough time with animatronics at home and had no desire to deal with them at work now too. Sure he didn't know the originals as well as he knew the toys, but he could care less so long as they didn't try to kill him anymore.
Sitting in the office chair with a grunt, MIke picked up the tablet and began switching through the camera feeds to entertain himself. Checking the main party room, he could see that the group had finally separated from the hug and were seated on the floor talking amongst themselves. He flipped through feeds again until he came to stop at Cam 2B. Mari was leaning against the right wall seemingly conversing with a poster on the left wall. Confused, Mike switched to a different camera before going back to 2B. Still, it appeared that the Marionette was talking to poster. Not believing his own eyes he repeatedly switched back and forth between 2B and another camera to confirm his eyes weren't playing tricks on him. He only stopped when he saw that the poster had changed. Rather than the usual image of Freddy, the picture had been replaced with what appeared to be an eyeless closeup of freddy's head if it were a yellow color. As he tried to get a closer look, he noticed Mari now glaring up into the camera at him. Startled, he threw the tablet down. Immediately Mike regretted that decision and let out a piercing scream as he found himself face to face with a golden animatronic suit
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"I can't believe this is really happening right now," Chica smiled happily and wiped the tears from her eyes with a wing. "I thought we'd never see you guys again"
BonBon jumped up and wrapped the bird in a hug once more "Aww, don't cry Chica! We're here now so no need to be sad anymore!"
Tia grinned, kinda creepily grinned that is since she had forgotten her beak back at the house. She tended to forget to put the thing on since there was no need to look presentable for children. "BonBon's right you know. We all thought we'd be left in that shit-hole to rot, but that's in the past now. We're here and we aren't going anywhere"
Chica frowned at her "That language needs to go though" Tia simply rolled her eyes at that. The two chickens had always butted heads when it came to Tia's more foul mouth.
Freddy sighed in content as he looked at everyone catching up. Teddy placed a hand on his predecessor's shoulder from where he sat beside him "Quite a surprise huh?"
Freddy chuckled and nodded "I should have suspected something when Kris asked me for information on where you guys were stored. I'm honestly surprised I didn't figure it out that she was up to something." He smiled
"Well we were pretty surprised ourselves when she showed up at the storage center." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly "Not gonna lie though, we tried to kill her." Freddy was about to cut in when Teddy continued, "She was slippery. Had to drag Mari into the chase just to get our hands on her." The toy bear chuckled, but the originals all seemed to pale slightly at the news.
Their heads all turned to the girl who was talking animatedly with Balloon Boy. They had become quite attached and protective of the girl and dreaded the thought that she would get hurt any more. If Mari had gotten his hands on her, then there was no way she had gotten away without injury. Sure she could hold her own quite well, but against Mari's magic? Very unlikely… Still, Kris looked unharmed for the most part. She wasn't visible in pain but there could always be hidden wounds.
Foxy spoke up to lighten the mood once more "Worry not lads, Kris be fine. Nothing but a few bruises from Mari. 'sides...I got him good for what he did." He grinned proudly. "Let's just keep the mood bright while we catch up." The group sighed and returned their attention to the toys once more.
"Soooo...how are all the little kiddies!" Bonbon bounced up and down in his seat "You must enjoy getting to perform again!" He smiled brightly
Bonnie laughed at his counterpart's energy. Both Rabbits were the energetic ones in the group. Sure Bonnie's energy had dulled since his depression from the last location, but Kris was helping to bring him back to normal. "Performing is great. I just wish we weren't restricted to our 'programming' during the day." He frowned and plucked a few chords on his guitar. "Performing on our own terms would be nice too…" he pouted slightly.
Mangle frowned and spoke quietly "I'm sorry…" she hid her face in Foxy's lap "It's my fault you can't walk around freely anymore…" She whimpered
Foxy placed his hand comfortingly on her head "We don't blame you lass."
Teddy frowned in anger "Don't blame yourself!" He yelled slightly. Though the leader like Freddy, the toy bear had a shorter fuse and wasn't afraid to release his fury. He crossed his arms and thumped his leg against the ground. "That stupid purple guy is to blame! He tampered with your systems!"
Kris looked over at them at the outburst. She contemplated going over to ask about it, but knew it wasn't her place. Instead, she looked back down at BB on her lap. The young bot had a small frown on his face and raised his eyes to meet Kris's.
"Don't ask…" Balloon boy closed his eyes for a moment before smiling again "Let's play more!"
Kris smiled down at the boy and nodded. She cast one more quick glance at the group before returning her attention to Balloon boy.
All was quiet in the room for a moment. No one dared say a word about the incident brought up. What little said was more than enough to cast a cloud of hate and sorrow over the group. The quiet lasted for only a minute though before an ear piercing scream shattered the silence as it echoed through the halls.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
