Decisions and Reflections

A/N: Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay…again (school work is taking more time than I expected). As always I want to thank BewitchingMayham, AMangledMisfit, Wes27, and Venemousbook38 for the use of their characters. I only own the kits, Larry, Vara, Spike, Leo, and Crackers. Everyone else belongs to Scott Cawthon. Enjoy!

Freddy and Chica remained silent as they continued to think about the worlds Bonnie had uttered before he went to rest. They needed to think long and hard before coming to a conclusion about the two small bots that were still resting. It was true, both had done horrible things to the rabbit, and they wanted to make amends. Throughout the company history they were always the next popular models right after Foxy. Bonnie though, he was always last and the company had tried to get rid of him so many times. It was like no matter how much they tried, their friend was almost left out somehow until someone cried foul.

"Are we doing this because we want to…or because of our guilt?" Chica asked quietly.

Freddy pulled the chicken close, "To be honest, once the kits arrived here I was actually jealous of Foxy and Mangle…. they had something I wanted so badly."

"Freddy I never knew…" Chica spoke softly.

The bear sighed softly, "We have a chance now though, they're both small and practically new and unsure of the world around them. I hope that in time we can teach them…to prevent the tragic tale of Bonnie's line to continue."

"How though?" Chica asked.

Freddy chuckled a little and placed his muzzle on top of her forehead, "Show them love and compassion, that even though they're different they're both loved the same."

"Do you think it will work?" Chica asked almost sounding like she was close to tears.

Freddy kept her close, "We won't know unless we try. No matter what one way or another we will stop the suffering of their line one way or another."

Chica laughed slightly, "Your inner sweetheart is showing."

"Like I care?" Freddy spoke gently and much to Chica's surprise picked her up, "Let's go see how the little ones are doing."

Chica nodded and allowed Freddy to carry her to the room where the two small bots were resting. She couldn't believe how cute they were, and couldn't wait to actually meet them when they were awake and functional once more. It seemed the puppet of Bonnie was a light sleeper and woke up, and appeared surprised to see them.

"We're sorry did we wake you?" Chica asked softly.

The puppet shook their head, "No it's okay, I was close to waking up anyways. Hey Fred get up we have company!"

The small pink and white bear groaned and looked around trying to figure out what had happened. The last thing they remembered was throwing Bonnie away from them before the ceased to function, so how was he functional now? His attention then focused on the large bear and chicken that were standing in the room, "What happened?"

"Good, you're awake that will put Bonnie and the others at ease" Chica spoke gently.

The small plastic bear looked at his new body, "I feel….small…"

"They scaled your new body down to your friend's size." Freddy spoke, "Do you remember what happened?"

"Bits and pieces…why are we here? Where's Baby and the others?" Fred asked.

Freddy remained silent for a moment and picked up the two small bots, "Baby and the others finally found peace and went to sleep. They had asked that we take the two of you with us, and let you finally experience freedom."

"Sounds just like her…" Fred chuckled sadly, "So what are you going to do with us?"

"Well for starters since the two of you are technically now the youngest" Chica chuckled slightly, "You're our responsibility."

"Responsibility?" Puppet Bonnie asked.

The two larger bots nodded, "If you would let us, we would like to take you in as our own."

"So….kinda like a family ordeal?" Fred asked almost sounding skeptical.

Freddy nodded, "We won't force you though.."

Before he could continue to speak the two small bots seemed to have oil well up in their eyes and they began to cry into his suit. Chica seemed rather surprised when Puppet Bonnie jumped into her arms and started to cry. She rubbed the smaller bots back until they started to calm down, "What's wrong?"

"We never thought…that anyone would want us….the humans ditched us, left us to rot….we thought that no matter what no one would want us." Puppet Bonnie admitted.

Freddy let out a faint sigh, "Well that won't happen here to either of you, I promise."

"S-So what do we call you?" Fred asked his voice muffled by Freddy's suit.

"Whatever you would like" Chica and Freddy responded in unison.

Puppet Bonnie and Fred looked to one another and then nodded speaking in unison, "Thank you Mom, Dad."

Meanwhile in another part of the building Toy Chica and Freddy were coming to the realization that they had met Wesley before. Since the weasel had come to the building he seemed to have a strong dislike for them, but got along well enough with Mangle and Bon. It wasn't until they started going through their own memories that they realized what they had done. They had tormented the bot in the past, and quite frankly said some horrible things. Needless to say now they couldn't blame the bot for wanting nothing to do with them. Troubled by their newly recalled memories they decided to seek out the one bot who would probably be able to help them.

"Bon, you in here?" Toy Chica asked as they walked into an empty room.

Bon phased through the wall, "Need something?"

"We need your help actually….we finally recall why Wesley doesn't like us." Toy Freddy admitted.

Bon phased to his normal body and crossed his arms, "Reflecting on the past again? You two know what happens when you do."

"We know" the other two bots muttered but turned back to Bon as if silently pleading for his help.

Bon chuckled slightly, "You two don't have to pull that act with me, you know I will always help you-"

Before he could continue to speak Toy Chica pulled him into a hug happily thanking him. Toy Freddy wasn't blind though, he could see the discomfort in Bon's eyes at her touch. They had made progress through all that happened, but there were still somethings that caused uneasiness. Wesley wasn't the only bot that Toy Freddy had been cruel to in the past, he had hurt his best friend greatly over time. It made him feel worse about his own existence, it was true he was no longer that bear. There was a fear though, that parts of that old him still existed.

Bon wasn't blind to this though and was thankful that Toy Chica was called to help with something, leaving him and his friend alone, "What's wrong?"

"You can always seem to tell can't you?" Toy Freddy asked.

Bon nodded and shut the door giving them privacy, "I can always tell when something is bothering my best friend. So come on, talk to me."

"Am I better, then when we first met? I mean….do I treat you and the others better, like an actual bot instead of something less…superior?" Toy Freddy asked almost sounding like he was coming unhinged.

"Fred, what's gotten into you?" Bon asked gently.

"I'm scared that I'll become the monster I once was!" Toy Freddy finally admitted before falling to his knees.

Bon kneeled in front of him, "You're not a monster Freddy. If anything you're looking at one."

"Bon n-"

"I've hurt several bots and humans, Freddy. You're scared that parts of your old self still exist, that you'll start to mistreat others. Afraid that you'll push everyone away, especially Chica, and that you'll end up alone in the end. You should know that won't happen though." Bon spoke gently yet carried a firm tone.

Toy Freddy blinked, "You don't know that though!"

"I do though" Bon chuckled slightly, "The fact you're aware of it, and think of it shows that you're aware and want to keep the changes you've made. You've come far from that night."

"All that change brought on though because I couldn't save you….I failed my own best friend who I treated horribly. Why did you even stay? Was it because of our lines history?" Toy Freddy asked.

Bon shook his head, "I stayed because I wanted to. I could tell you were stressed by the pressure put on us, that we could never live up to the legends themselves. I saw your outbursts as a way to deal with your frustration. I tried to ease it as much as I could and pushed myself to keep working harder. I wanted to make the life of my best friend easier."

"Yet I made yours a living Hell, didn't I?" Toy Freddy asked already knowing the answer upon seeing Bon tense up, "Why can't I find closure from it. You've forgiven me, but I can't forgive myself!"

"Then we're going to work on that, starting now" Bon spoke and phased to his shadow form, "This may feel a bit uncomfortable."

Before the toy bear could ask what his friend meant he felt his circuits nearly overheat from the sudden change. Wanting to hold back his screams he locked his jaw and nodded allowing Bon to do whatever needed to be done. Bon nodded and phased himself and his friend to the factory where they were made. The place had closed several years ago, and parts of it had already collapsed. Much to both of the bot's surprise nature had already started to reclaim the building as young saplings were starting to spread their branches. Both even noted that they could hear the echoes of various song birds, chirping and calling to one another. Bon returned them to their physical states and looked around, "Beautiful, isn't it?"

"Why did you bring me here?" Toy Freddy asked.

There was a sincere look in Bon's eyes, "This is where it all began, your insecurity. This is where it will end as well."

"I'm not following entirely, but I trust you." Toy Freddy spoke and continued to listen to the birds sing, "It's relaxing…. like they don't have a care in the world."

The rabbit nodded and continued to walk around the room that they were in as if looking for something. Toy Freddy watched for a little bit but soon grew more curious about the nature around him, and how it somehow managed to sooth his nerves. Noticing that Bon had stopped moving he walked over to him and noticed that the rabbit was looking at a small bird that had fallen from its nest.

"Poor thing" Bon spoke gently and found the nest, "Do you see it up there Freddy?"

"I do actually" Toy Freddy spoke and then looked to the bird, "It seems frightened."

"That's because it is. It most likely sees us as predators. I've been listening around the parents aren't here they're probably out gathering food. That gives us a chance to actually get it back to its nest. Well YOU a chance." Bon spoke and placed the small bird in Toy Freddy's hands.

"Why me!?" the bear asked almost bewildered.

Bon chuckle and phased into his shadow and faded away, "You'll figure it out."

Toy Freddy looked down at the bird and realized just how scared and insecure it probably was, just like he was in the beginning of his existence. That's when it hit the toy bear why his friend brought him here, this was where his cruel streak began, and where he could finally lay his past to rest. Gently wrapping his fingers around the small bird he began to climb up various pipes and machinery to get to the nest. All the while the bird chirped franticly, scared that it was captured by a predator.

Was that how Wesley and Bon felt when he was cruel to them? Like they were captured and tormented by something larger than them?

In an attempt to calm the small bird, he started to sing how he felt, and the bird began to calm down. Bon remained hidden in the shadows but felt his whole body shiver at how Toy Freddy's voice echoed through the building, it was hauntingly beautiful. He could hear the sorrow and regret carry through the echoes, and that the bear was wanting to be free of his painful past. He focused his attention on the bird nest and could see the relief wash over Toy Freddy as he returned the bird to its nest. However, the toy bear then lost his balance and crashed to the ground. Toy Freddy watched from the floor as the small bird's parents returned, and much to his relief they began to tend for their offspring. Apparently he didn't leave a scent, meaning they wouldn't reject the small hatchling. For some reason the odd act of kindness put him at ease, like he finally broke the binds this place, and his past had on him.

"Ready to go back?" Bon asked offering his hand.

Toy Freddy nodded, "Yes, and the first thing I am going to do is find Wesley and apologize to him."

"Good" Bon spoke and took them back to the pizzeria.

The two appeared in the main room and Toy Freddy saw that Toy Chica was contemplating something. Placing a hand on her shoulder he knew what was bothering her, "Let's go apologize to him, together. I know he may not forgive us, but we owe him an apology at least. If he lets us, hopefully we can mend the damage we have done."

Toy Chica nodded wiping her eyes some, "You look more relieved…where did you go?"

"Back to where it began…" Toy Freddy spoke softly and walked towards Wesley, "Ummm Wesley do you have a moment?"

The weasel stopped for a moment not happy with the fact that someone was disturbing him during a very serious game of go fish between himself, Bubbles, and the Balloon Children. It was even more annoying that it was Toy Freddy who was trying to talk to him, "What do you want?"

Toy Chica flinched at the tone of his voice, but Freddy remained calm and steadfast, "I wanted to apologize for all the horrible tings that I had said and done to you in the past. I was an arrogant asshole who had no empathy for those around me. I hurt you a great deal, and I regret it with every fiber of my being. I know you may not forgive me, and I don't blame you…. I can barely forgive myself for everything I have done."

"Do you know how many years I've waited to hear you say those words?" The weasel asked.

Toy Freddy looked down, "Many more than you should have. I am deeply, truly sorry Wesley."

The Balloon Children and Bubbles looked worried about what could happen but the weasel just shrugged, "Let's deal these two in."

Toy Freddy and Chica nodded and spent the rest of their day trying to make amends to the one they had hurt in the past. Bon watched from the shadows rather content until his brother called for him. Apparently Pete's reboot process was complete, they had a bot to wake up. The timing couldn't be any better, tomorrow would be a huge night for Foxy and his family. They were certain that the fox would love to have Pete present.
