Chapter 17: Start of a journey

Foxy woke up with a jolt.

"MANGLE?!" Foxy than felt his arm buckle in pain, so he held it. He looked at it.

It was covered in bandages. Foxy frowned for he started to play things on his head.

The Nightmares attacked... Springtrap took Mangle...

Mangle's mother is dead...

Foxy threw the blankets aside, and quickly got to the window, as he tried to ignore his sore legs.

Foxy opened the curtains and was instantly blinded by incoming light.

Foxy saw it was day again, and people was out and about. Foxy almost hoped that everything was a dream.

Doubts appeared when he saw only some of them was picking up papers and debris.

Knock Knock came from the door. Foxy stared at it in curiosity.

"... Uh... It's open!"

Soon, Chica and Bonnie opened the door. Bonnie obviously had a busted lip, and Chica had a bruised arm. Other than that they looked better than Foxy did.

They stood there awkwardly, as they examined the damage.

"... Well you two look like crap... " Foxy joked. Bonnie slowly put the butt of his guitar down as both Chica and Bonnie chuckled.

"Should look in a mirror buddy..." Bonnie joked. However their laughter faded as the weight of the situation was heavy.

Foxy rubbed the back of his head.

"... Do... You guys know what happened?"

Bonnie shrugged but he didn't say no.

"... Apparently Blank saw Springtrap earlier. " Bonnie informed. They was silent for a moment.

"... Come on." Foxy started for the door. "I want some fresh air..."

...

Foxy was heading for the Courtyard, but their motel was on the other side of town.

Which meant that they had to walk through... Disaster.

The town was as of a tornado had gone through. Debris and newspaper was everywhere. At the same field where all four of them had fought the nightmares, buildings was busted through.

",.. We had some trouble with Nightmare Bonnie and Chica as soon as you left..." Bonnie explained. Foxy merely nodded, feeling like he ate a batch of rocks.

They continued down the road, but they stopped short when they saw a building that was wrecked from the roof to the inside. It was a diner of some sort.

" So what happened here?" Chica wondered. Foxy felt weird about this building, for he felt... He was there.

Right than a image of... Foxy flying through the building with his hand on Springtrap's face.

Foxy held his head and shook it.

"... I... Did that?... "

" You very well did." Foxy and crew turned to see Blank with his Deadly crew. Foxy blinked.

"... I don't... Remember..." Foxy admitted. Bonnie and Chica exchanged glances.

"... Well... I watched the entire time...not only did you beat him...but you disabled his arms so he had to retreat..." Blank explained. Candy and Cindy smirked.

"Yeah well." Candy thumbed at Bonnie and Chica. "We had to help those two so Blank could help you..."

"Apparently... It was not needed..." Blank admired. Foxy felt confused and... Hurt...

".. So are you guys leaving?" Foxy wondered, trying to change the subject. He felt almost as bad as when his mother died.

Almost...

"... Not yet." Blank looked and examined the buildings."... We are going to get this place back in order... This was decided by all of us not just me."

Blank turned to Bonnie with a smirk. Bonnie smiled back.

Foxy signed. Than he remembered something.

"... Where's Mangle?"

...

Foxy ran hard up to the royal doors. He knocked hard as Chica and Bonnie watched him with sorrow.

Soon the King opened the door slowly.

"I need to see Mangle!" Foxy instantly exclaimed. The king looked very sorrowful, and his face was flush with his own tears. He didn't say a word, but he opened the door.

"... Up the stairs, to the far room to the left."

Foxy ran past King Funtime Freddy, and got to her as fast as he could.

He knocked twice.

"... I said go away..." Mangle yelled in a sad and croaked voice.

Foxy felt bad as he leaned against the door.

"... It's me... Foxy... "

"... Foxy?! " Foxy heard her jump out of her bed, and the door flung open. Mangle was in even more tears than before.

They stared in each other's glassy and teared up eyes. Mangle embraced Foxy deeply as she buried her head into his chest.

",... Don't leave me... Don't leave me Foxy..." Mangle cried as she sobbed. Foxy held her closer and closed his eyes.

"...i won't... I wont leave you right now..."

...

A couple of knocks came from the door. Mangle was asleep in Foxy's arms, but the noise stirred her awake.

Mangle rubbed her teary eyes as she stared at the door.

"Who is it?" Mangle asked tired. The crying had drained her out of energy. Foxy held her close.

Foxy loved her. He was wanting to just be with her.

Besides her dad... Foxy was the only one she had left.

"It's me. Your... Dad..."

Mangle signed but Foxy held her hand.

"It's okay..." Foxy soothed. Mangle smiled softly.

"It's open." She gave in.

The King Funtime Freddy walked in with a stern face. You could tell he washed his tears away.

"... Your bunny and chicken is here. Um..." The King slowly eyed Mangle and Foxy slowly and saw how close they was... "I can send them away for another time?"

Mangle stood however.

"No No... They can head to the library... Please escort them there..." Mangle ordered politely. The king understood. He slowly shut the door.

Foxy and Mangle sat there, both feeling uneasy. Mangle slowly held her head.

Foxy touched her arm.

"Mangle... I... I... I might have to..." Foxy couldnt say it. Foxy might have to leave...

"... Let's go see..."

...

Everyone sat at a table as Foxy and Mangle walked in. Everyone except...

Toy Chica and Toy Bonnie who stood to greet them.

"Hey Foxy, how's the arm?" Toy Chica asked concerned. Foxy just gave her a sad smile.

"It hurts like hell."

"You look like hell kid." Toy Bonnie admitted. Toy Chica frowned at him and elbowed his gut.

"OW!"

"Let's relax."

They sat in chairs where Chica and Bonnie was relaxing. The King sat as well, but didn't look happy. He rested his head in his palm.

"Hey Foxy. You okay Mangle?" Chica asked with a caring smile. Mangle didn't smile and looked down.

"... No... And I don't think I ever will be..." Mangle admitted.

Everyone saddened. Foxy held her close.

"It's... Going To to be okay... One day..." Foxy tried to help as much as he could.

Mangle just nodded.

Eventually everyone was relaxing. Bonnie was the only one with a book.

The book on the Fazbear wars.

"... Hm... It says that Golden Freddy's ghost can be seen in the Forest of Festival ..." Bonnie educated himself and the others. Chica seemed less amused.

"Yeah and does it say where it's at?" Chica tested. Bonnie's expression dimmered as he examines the book more. He is even flipped it sideways and upside down when it gave no Informed. Bonnie set it down in defeat.

",... No even a hint."

"Well of course it doesn't." All eyes peered to the King, who now looked almost himself, for he looked annoyed. "Freddy Fazbear hand picked that forest in order to keep his location and whereabouts unknown."

This inform shocked everyone. Even Foxy stood, feeling excited for the first time in a while.

"Wait do you know who Freddy Fazbear is?!" Foxy questioned with high hopes. Funtime Freddy smirked.

"Well yeah?" Funtime Freddy pointed at himself. "I am his brother after all!"

"BROTHER?!" Everyone was stunned and shocked. Even Mangle was stunned as she shook her head.

"You never mentioned that your brother is The Freddy Fazbear!" Mangle took note. The king smirked.

"It is still classified information..." However as he said this he eyed Foxy, making Foxy feel awkward. Freddy looked away and waves it off. "... But...I can tell Mangle would be mad if I held this information..."

Mangle smiled but she kept a playful frown.

" Oh you know it! " Mangle soon grasped Foxy's hand and smiled. This made Foxy blush. "I want Foxy to remain part of my life..."

Foxy smiled but he soon had doubts.

Foxy was worried that if he had to go find Freddy Fazbear at the Forest of Festivals... He feared Mangle wouldn't be able to come.

He soon plotted to... Make sure Mangle stayed safe.

...

" What do you mean you're leaving Mangle here?!" Chica questioned in disbelief. Foxy slowly put a couple more bags of supplies (Which was provided by Toy Bonnie and Toy Chica.) and paused to answer.

"... Just... Look at my arm." Foxy soon held up his hurt arm." This was from just one battle. And now that battle might happen again because I didn't defeat Springtrap..."

Bonnie was leaning against his horse.

"... Mmmm... Technically you defeated him so bad that he had to retreat."

Foxy started to tie his saddle tighter, but he loosened for the horse a little.

"... No... I still didn't. "

" What do you mean you didn't?" Chica and Bonnie both didn't believe him." If you didn't defeat him, who did? "

Foxy let go of the strap of horse and pauses, trying to find the best way to explain.

"... . It just... It was... "

" Foxy! " Foxy turned and they saw the King holding a small bag.

"What's up your majesty?" Bonnie greeted, even though they was surprised but his appearance.

Suddenly Freddy tossed the bag at Foxy, and he barely caught it.

It felt like coins.

"Coins?!" Foxy gasped as he looked inside. There had to be about...

"1000 Fazbear coins."

"A thousand Fazbear coins?!" They all screamed in utter surprised. They all look back and forth towards the bag and Freddy.

The King Funtime Freddy smiled as he pulled at his pocket. It was obvious that there was coins in there for it rattled.

"Well, with Springtrap gone, I happened to find that good old diamond that he had..." He looked down. "I really am sorry that... I had a problem... With you."

Foxy smiled and slowly tied the bag to his horse. Foxy than stared at Freddy for a moment before offering his hand for a shake.

"...Just promise me that... You will keep Mangle safe."

Freddy smiled and shook his hand.

" And promise me you'll be safe for her."

"Deal."

Soon the departing was sort and sweet.

Both Toy Chica and Toy Bonnie waved good bye.

"See ya soon!"

"Try to stay off the pizza for a bit Chica!".

"Well thanks..." Chica laughed. Foxy and Bonnie bursted out laughing.

"You better return Foxy!" Funtime Freddy yelled as they started off on their horses. "... Or I'll never hear the end of it for sure..."

"... Are you going to miss this place?" Bonnie asked Foxy as they rode out of the gates.

Foxy had to wave for even the gate keepers was waving good bye.

Foxy stopped and turned one time. He stared at the giant market and the great castle.

"... Yeah... I'm be back soon enough Mangle... "

...

"WHAT?!" Mangle exclaimed in great sicking worry. Funtime Freddy was waving his arms in defense.

"Foxy said if... If he left before you knew! You'll be less tempted too..."

"TOO WHAT?!" Mangle got in his face and poked him three times. "Do you not REALIZE?! He's the only other one I have left! I love him FATHER!"

"I know just-"

"You know NOTHING! You should not of agreed!" Mangle suddenly started down the stairs. Funtime Freddy cocked his eyebrows when he realized she was wearing her casual clothing.

"Where are you...?" He started.

"To be with HIM!"

Mangle shot through the door and was instantly running down the pavement. She heard Funtime Freddy rush open the door behind her.

"WAIT! He's already on horseback! You can't make it in time!"

Mangle didn't care. She just knew with rhe pain of loss, the pain of her shoulder...

And the pain as she ached for Foxy's love...

She had to get to him.

She made it to the gate, and she was breathing heavy.

She saw nothing but the empty trail. She slowly felt a tear drop as she was about to cry.

She needed Foxy...

"MANGLE!" Mangle turned quickly, and she jumped as a horse rushed by her. The horse turned slightly to a stop and there sat on the horse

Was Toy Chica.

"You look like you desperately need a lift?" Toy Chica tensed. Mangle got to the horse, but was stunned by confusion.

"... But why? How... How did you know I was... Already here?" Mangle got on the horse, but Toy Chica smiled at her.

"... Because I'm your bodyguard... If Foxy ain't here, I will be... Now" Toy Chica had a cocky smile. "LET'S RIDE! YEE HAW!"

...

Bonnie had advised not to push the horses way to hard. Bonnie mentioned that it will be about a three day trip...

Foxy didn't mind, for his mind was on Mangle. Foxy felt as if he was already missing her.

"Hey." Chica rode up to his side. Foxy turned to him without too much care. Chica smiled. "You alright."

Foxy just shrugged.

"... Hey at least you was able to get with the one you like. Better than my stay there." Chica tried to reassure. Foxy merely smirked.

"You didn't really try." However Foxy was surprised when Chica just shook his head with a smile as he looked forward. "... What?"

"Oooooh...I like someone... Someone you met."

Foxy was confused at first, but it soon appeared in his head.

"Nooooo."

"YUP!"

"Oh dude, she might like you back if you say it right!" Foxy reassured. Bonnie shook his head in chuckles and turned to them.

"... Who is this lucky lady?" Bonnie had to ask. Chica and Foxy laughed as they exchanged glances.

"Its-" However a familiar voice interrupted them.

"FOXYYYY!" Foxy's ears perked up. Was that...

Foxy and the others turned on their horses to a stop.

Out came trotting off the hill was a white horse.

"Toy Chica?!" Chica noticed, as he saw only her in the view he had. But Foxy was off too the right.

And he saw Mangle waving from the side.

"Foxxxy!" Mangle called. Foxy felt drawn to her, so he flicked the straps, and his horse trotted forward.

"Mangle?!" Foxy was giggling as he started to gain speed. "What on Earth are you doing here.?!"

However Foxy seemed a little worried when Mangle almost stood on the saddle. Toy Chica looked at her like she was crazy.

"Mangle what are you-"

Mangle jumped! She timed it right and tackled Foxy right off his horse.

"AHH!" Both Foxy and Mangle yelled as they fell in tall grass.

Toy Chica, Bonnie, and Chica circled around them.

Foxy sat up with her on top of him.

"What are you doing here Mangle?" Foxy was now worried of her safety. ".. You should of stayed with your dad"

Mangle slowly got off of Foxy and dusted her pants off.

"Oh? Because it's dangerous?!" Mangle looked at him hard. Foxy never seen her angry before. "What if you never came back?! How would I continue living?!"

"What?!" Foxy stood just to get a finger in his chest.

"... You die... I die..."

Foxy was stunned by these words.

Did Mangle love him that much?

"Well come on you two." Toy Chica got off the White horse and slowly got on Foxy's old horse. "It's a long way to the Forest of Festivals..."

Foxy got on Mangle's horse first, and than Mangle did.

And she cuddled up to him and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

"Staying by side forever right?"

Foxy smiled at her.

"I declare it."
