After the Storm
A/N: We made it! This is the first part of the finale that I have planned for Restored Resolve. I want to thank everyone for making this story as successful as it has been. I own only Larry, Leo, Crackers, and the kits. Everyone else belongs to Scott Cawthon, enjoy!
It had been a month since the fall of Springtrap, the animatronics had returned to their own building. Freddy had kept to his word when it came to restoring Fredbear's Room. Everything that he and Bonnie grabbed that wasn't nailed down was placed back on the walls. Much to everyone's dismay Freddy spent a lot of the time in the room and always appeared to be mourning. When Goldy or Toy Freddy would come to check on him, he would just glare at them and turn away. However, if it were Chica or Bonnie the bear knew he wouldn't stand a chance. Seeing Chica upset made him feel horrible, and he was absolutely terrified that Bonnie would tear him to shreds.
"Freddy Fazbear, get out of that room right this instant!" Chica could be heard in the doorway.
Freddy rubbed the back of his head and nodded, "R-Right, sorry."
The restored Chicken's expression softened as Freddy took her hand in his and led her back to the main room. Everyone looked around and quickly Crackers swiped Freddy's top hat and replaced it with a party hat, "Squawk, Happy Birthday!"
"Wait…" Freddy looked a taken back, "Already?"
Bonnie nodded, "You forgot didn't you?"
"I….uhhh…." Freddy looked down flustered.
Bonnie chuckled softly and placed a hand on Freddy's shoulder, "It's alright. I know your mind has been on other things. Happy Birthday, Freddy."
"Same to you my old friend" Freddy responded quietly.
Larry looked around the room as the kits jumped onto his shoulders, "I thought this was supposed to be a party? Not just stand around and look at everyone awkwardly."
Everyone nodded agreeing with the eagle and waited for their two other guests to arrive. Before long Leo and Mike showed up for the usual Friday night shift, meaning that the party could actually begin. Leo quickly rushed up to Freddy and gave him a hug, and then did the same to Bonnie, "Happy Birthday guys!"
"Thank you" Freddy and Bonnie spoke in unison.
Leo nodded and was soon pulled away by the kits who wanted to play with him. Freddy watched intently as everyone interacted, and took notice that a certain rabbit had gone missing. As Freddy went to go find Bonnie he noticed Toy Freddy and Chica standing in front of the backstage room. The two toys waved towards him and then shook their heads, indicating that the bear would not get past them. Freddy groaned frustrated, "Then at least give me a clue on what that rabbit is up to this time around."
"We'd love to" Toy Chica spoke, "But we promised."
Toy Freddy nodded, "Besides you're the guest of honor! Come on back to the party with you!"
Toy Chica sighed in relief as Toy Freddy pulled Freddy away and back towards the group. Bonnie and Bon poked their heads out from behind the door seeing if the coast was clear. Once it was determined Freddy had been occupied once more Bon remained as a watch while Bonnie moved a box on a dolly towards Fredbear's room. Bonnie had been able to tell how devastated that Freddy, and Gold were at the loss of Fredbear. Lucky for the two bears though, Chica and Mari had found a spare endoskeleton and Bonnie had managed to modify it to match for Fredbear. While Bonnie had been working on modifications the toy models had created a whole new fabric suit, and dyed it all by hand. When it was put together everyone had decided to move the animatronic to the room while Freddy was occupied.
"A little more to the left" Bon motioned and Bonnie followed, "Right there. He's totally center."
Bonnie stepped back and nodded, "Freddy is going to be furious when he realizes this is here right?"
"Why would he be though? I thought we did this to cheer him up" Bon looked down.
Bonnie patted his little brother's head affectionately, "We did, but Freddy can be a bit hard headed at times. Let's get back to the party and enjoy ourselves some."
The smaller rabbit nodded and turned towards the animatronic they had just placed, "It's kinda weird, but it feels like he's back with us in a way. I'm just waiting for him to jump out and yell 'Boo!'"
"Part of me wishes that he would" Bonnie admitted and pulled Bon from the room, "Now then remember, you know nothing about this."
"I know nothing, I see nothing!" Bon playfully saluted and ran ahead of his brother.
Bonnie rolled his eyes and then stopped when he heard a noise coming from the Fredbear room. Without much thought he teleported to the room and looked around to see if he could pinpoint the cause of the noise. Looking over to where he had put Fredbear he noticed that the bear was gone.
"Where did he…." Bonnie spoke and then felt like something was behind him.
The restored rabbit turned around and noticed Bon standing behind him, "Oh it's you. I was starting to think my circuits had gone haywire."
"Come on everyone's waiting on us" Bon responded and pulled Bonnie from the room and rushed towards the main one.
Everyone tried not to laugh as they heard the two rabbits from the hall, especially Bonnie telling Bon to slow down," Slow down a little or you're going to rip my arm off"
Freddy laughed and looked to his lifelong friend, "It wouldn't be the first time you lost it."
"Nor will it be the last" Bonnie laughed, "So what's the game plan from here on out?"
"Well for starters" Larry looked at the bear and rabbit, "You two are the guests of honor. So I'd probably go with whatever you two wanted, besides going back to a certain room to mourn."
Foxy nodded, "Aye, that room is off limits for the night! If ye even think about it Fazbear I'm sure Chica will set you straight."
"You go that right" Chica responded while Toy Chica helped her carry a large Pizza box, "They said it couldn't be done!"
Toy Chica started to laugh alongside her counterpart, "But we did it! We created the largest Pizza this franchise has ever seen!"
"Chica…." Freddy and Toy Freddy sighed slightly.
Everyone started to laugh and soon everyone was enjoying the pizza that the two chickens had made. As everyone started to finish they heard the faint sound of 'pop goes the weasel', meaning that someone was on their way. Everyone smiled warmly as Goldy appeared and sat down on the edge of the Stage and Mari sat on one of the tables. Everyone was together again, and things were starting to feel like they were going to be okay.
"Where were you two? You're late" Toy Freddy looked at the puppet and golden bear.
Mari shrugged and took their mask off to grab a slice of Pizza, "Does it matter? We're here aren't we?"
"We got a little tied up is all" Golden responded and revealed two wrapped gifts, "For the two bots that have been a thorn in my side for years. Happy Birthday."
"You shouldn't have" Freddy and Bonnie uttered at the bears words, they both knew that it was most likely going to be a prank.
"Go ahead, open it" Goldy encouraged trying to stifle a laugh.
Freddy and Bonnie opened the boxes and screamed as their vision was blurred from the pies that had projected into their faces. Everyone started to laugh even the pie covered animatronics found some humor in it. Chica sighed softly and started to wipe some of the pie from Freddy's face only to have the bear take some in his hand and throw it on her face. At first Chica looked angry, but instead started to laugh and threw what she had wiped off at Leo and the kits.
"FOOD FIGHT!" Larry yelled and soon pie and whipped cream was being thrown throughout the room.
Before Mike could even react he had been hit with some whipped cream and started to actually get in on the fun. Everyone was fair game, and soon the kits and Leo hid behind a table and started to throw whatever they could find at the others. Without thinking much Faye grabbed a slice of Pizza and threw it at Chica. Everyone stopped instantly afraid that the restored bird was going to be angry. Chica just laughed and took the piece and ate it, "Pizza!"
As everyone settled down Freddy turned to Golden, "Who's idea was this?"
"Thanks for the idea Foxy, it was a good one" Mari was overheard speaking to the restored Fox.
"Foxy what the-" Freddy started sounding irritated.
Foxy looked at him and shrugged, "I don't know, I'm bored!"
"Foxy, Foxy, Foxy" Chica chuckled, "You always were a bit twitchy out of us."
"Aye, and I be proud of it. Where are you going?" Foxy called to Freddy.
The bear was apparently tired of company and pretending to be fine, "Forget this, I'm out."
Everyone looked down disheartened as Freddy left. Leo looked up to Bonnie who didn't seem to phased by the bear's attitude, "Bonnie, did we do something wrong?"
"No, Freddy just doesn't grieve well. Just give him some time to pull himself together. Thank you for the birthday party everyone. Though he didn't show it much I'm sure Freddy appreciated it." Bonnie turned towards everyone, "I'm sure I can speak on his behalf as well that it was a total blast."
"We're glad" Mangle responded happily, "We put a lot of effort into this on top of that other project."
"I do appreciate the help" Bonnie spoke and turned towards the hall, "That grizzly is going to be furious when he first notices though. That much I am certain of."
"And you aren't worried about being torn apart?" Larry asked rather surprised.
Bonnie chuckled slightly revealing his endoskeleton eyes, "You remember what I almost did to you right? Freddy knows fully well what I am capable of, even when he's furious he's not dumb enough to try and attack me. He knows that before he can get the full picture I can mostly likely have him on the ground and halfway dismantled."
"You may want to cut back on the creepy factor just a tad" Larry commented but understood what Bonnie meant, "I'd hate to get on your bad side again. I can see how if someone made you angry they could have nightmares for life."
"Awww he's not that bad" Bon quickly jumped to his brother's defense, "He's just protective of those he cares for."
"You especially" Larry noted and looked at the time, "It's only 3 AM, is it me or does it feel like tonight is moving slow?"
"I'd say it's moving a little slow" Mike noted.
"We should enjoy it then!" JJ responded, "Mike do you have any good party games?"
"We want to try pin the tail on the donkey!" Morgan spoke up.
BB looked down, "But we don't have a donkey, nor a tail."
"Hmmm….but we do have a rabbit with a tail. Hey Bon hold still!" Freddy started to chuckle.
"Freddy what-HEY!" Bon turned around and glared as his friend stood there smugly with his tail, "Give that back!"
"Here you go kits, you can play pin the tail on the Bonnie!" Freddy tossed the tail to Faye.
Everyone tried not to laugh as Faye, Morgan, Leo, and the balloon children attempted to place Bon's tail back where it belonged. Bon meanwhile was trying not to make any movements and inwardly groaned since everyone was off entirely. After Leo's turn the boy turned to the toy rabbit and looked embarrassed and remorseful, "Sorry, I wasn't even close."
"It's alright" Bon sighed softly, "If you guys are done can I have it back?"
Faye Morgan looked around, "We don't have it."
"Then wh-"Bon started until he jolted.
Toy Chica stood there innocently, "There back where it belongs!"
Everyone looked at the toy chicken completely shocked, though Toy Chica couldn't fully understand why. The restored models agreed that it was perhaps a lesson, that was until they found out it was Toy Freddy who had actually put the tail back. For some reason hearing that Bon didn't feel so embarrassed.
While the others enjoyed the remaining time of the party Freddy trudged towards the Fredbear room. He was thankful for what everyone had done for him and Bonnie, but right now he just wanted to be alone. He could still hear the echoes of everyone and even tried to stifle a laugh at the mere thought of the kits, Leo, and the balloon children trying to place Bon's tail back. From the sounds of it Toy Chica had won the game though. The restored bear finally stopped and looked up at the sign that was placed above the one room.
Following the same habit as he did for the last month he entered the room once more.
