Chapter 4

Foxy opened his eyes, but only to be met with great pain in his Endoskeleton, he looked down to see that he was greatly damaged, his costume had been forcibly removed it seemed, and he was tied up. He looked to his right and saw Mangle laying against him.

"I have a few questions...but I wonder if she wanted this to happen or not?" Foxy flinched as another sudden wave of pain lurched through his body, giving a mere grunt, he honestly was holding back a scream of agony so as not to disturb Mangle, who was still sleeping peacefully. He was still curious about what she was going to tell him before he blacked out, but he was fairly certain that she liked him, and Foxy had to admit he felt funny when he was near her. She was pretty, he meant that, but the fact that she was resting against him also said that she didn't hate him, a first, considering that his hypothesis was that the other Toys were the ones who knocked him out.

"Well, she's certainly cute when she sleeps" Foxy smirked as he stared at the ceiling, he wondered what his friends were doing, were they trying to find him? Did they discover that he was kidnapped and tried to talk to the Toys? Whatever the case, he was hoping they'd find a way to get him.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN "YOU LOST HIM!?"" Niceguy yelled in anger as Freddy shared a similar attitude.

"Well excuse me, but I'm not his babysitter!" Freddy retorted as Bonnie moved between them to break up the fight.

"Stop it! Both of you! We need to focus on finding Foxy, not squabbling amongst ourselves." Bonnie told both of the bears as they backed off.

"Where was he before he vanished?" Chica asked Niceguy.

"He was back here with me, playing galaga when the 6:00 AM bell chimed, it's possible that he went to explore the Pizzeria..." He answered as Freddy opened the door towards the main hall.

"Well, come on, let's go find him then..." He trailed off as Chica, Bonnie, and Niceguy followed. As they exited the Parts & Service room, Bonnie pointed towards the dining room.

"How much you wanna bet he's in there?" He asked as Niceguy considered the possibility.

"Hmm...it's certainly possible...let's check it out." Niceguy told the others as they followed him towards the dining room.

Foxy had been waiting for awhile before Mangle stirred, causing him to look at her. As she awoke, her hazel eyes glowed brightly, however, when she realized that he was awake as well, she leaned back.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Mangle panicked as Foxy calmed her down.

"Yargh, lass, calm down, it was actually a little pleasant, although I have some questions for ya." Foxy replied as Mangle shifted uncomfortably, then she looked into his eyes.

"Oh my, I just noticed, Foxy, your poor eyes!" Mangle grew concerned as he was shown a mirror, his once hazel eyes were now merely black with white pupils.

"I'm so sorry, I never wanted this..." She whimpered, confirming Foxy's suspicion that she didn't want to harm him.

"Let me guess: yer friends?" He asked her as she nodded. "Although I'm not sure if I can call them that anymore, you never provoked us, and vice versa, yet they still harmed you" Mangle responded as Foxy looked at his hands and feet, still tied up, and used his hook to tear through the ropes, unbeknowst to Mangle, who was looking at the ground in shame.

"Hey, Mangle...it wasn't yer fault" Foxy put his hand on her shoulder, causing her to look in his direction, her ears folded downwards.

"I...I don't know how to stress this, and it merely is because we just met and that...well...Foxy, I really like you" Mangle said with a flinch as Foxy smiled a little, mostly at her courage, he had to admit he felt a strange attraction to her when they met.

"Well lass, I will admit I felt attracted to ya when I first saw ya, but I wasn't sure why, now I know...but lass, I have to ask, why would ye like a rusty broken down pirate like me?" Foxy asked as Mangle scooted closer to him.

"I...I don't know why, I've never been interested in the other boys, then you and the others came, and it sort of clicked, but...I've just really felt attracted to you, Foxy...I...I love you..." Mangle suddenly turned away upon hearing what exactly she said. Foxy was also blushing as his right ear folded down.

"lass..." Mangle turned in Foxy's direction, and they both knew what was going to come next, as they leaned closer, the door flung open, startling the two foxes.

"What the-!? He broke free of the ropes!" Toy Freddy called as Toy Bonnie followed him inside, Foxy attempted to stand, but his legs were still weak from the damage he sustained. As they were prepared to attack him, Mangle made a move against them and scratched Toy Bonnie's hand.

"YEOW!" He dropped the pipe as Toy Freddy looked over in surprise. "Woah Mangle, calm down!" He said to her as her artificial tail swung from side to side in an aggressive stance.

"Argh...that stupid bitch slashed into my endoskeleton..." Toy Bonnie winced as Foxy managed to stand, unable to stand how Toy Bonnie spoke of Mangle, he slowly but surly walked towards Toy Bonnie and grabbed him by the neck.

"Ye should show more respect to a lass, especially one who can defend herself against a landlubber like you" Foxy threw Toy Bonnie into the wall as Toy Freddy looked back at him, then at Foxy, who towered over him.

"Now, I'd appreciate it if ye could let me out of here, so I can find my friends..." Foxy growled as he purposefully held his hook close to Toy Freddy's neck, all he did was back up in fear and run off, but not before grabbing Toy Bonnie. Foxy then turned back to face Mangle as she still glared at the entrance from which they came.

"Lass, it's okay, they're gone..." He reassured her as she broke out of her trance of agression. "Oh...I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me..." She replied as Foxy knelt down slightly, as she was as tall as his upper Endoskeleton torso.

"It be alright, lass, I know what did come over ya, something I've witnessed a fair share of humans do while I was still performing. It's mostly a sign of affection, especially if your protecting one ya care about, and...ye did just confess yer love to me." Foxy explained as Mangle blushed.

"Well I...We can't just tell them about us..." Mangle realized the monumental secret they'd be trying to hide.

"It's okay Lass, we could keep it a secret...I'd swear it on me remaining hand, as far as I'm concerned, it's just us, and no one else" as Foxy said this he grabbed Mangle's hand. "Please, I know we just met and well...ye said how ye felt first, but I might as well say that I love you too, I can't explain it, but I'm sure if I want to. Please Lass..." Foxy's entire statement caught Mangle off guard as she held Foxy's hand, and tightened her grip.

"Okay...I will...for you" She smiled, and for whatever reason, Foxy just suddenly loved that smile. "Now, I'm positive that me friends will be here soon...just act...and trust me..." He explained to Mangle as he heard a commotion coming from outside, he peaked around the corner to see his Freddy trying to negotiate with Toy Freddy.

"Please, all we want is our friend, then we'll leave you alone..." Freddy told Toy Freddy as he groaned.

"Ugh, your politics bore me, get this through that thick processor of yours, we're not giving up your friend, not until we make a few demands of our own..." as the plastic bear laughed to himself, Niceguy shoved Freddy and Bonnie out of the way.

"Alright, let me handle this..." he cracked his knuckles as he waved his hand, confused, Toy Freddy suddenly felt himself levitating in the air. "WOAH! PUT ME DOWN!" He protested as Niceguy merely snapped his fingers, and froze him in place.

"Alright, let's see what we got here...hmmm, a dumbass, how unique..." Niceguy's sense of humor caused Foxy to chuckle under his breath as the bear did a full 360 walk around him, Niceguy had been one of his closest friends for years, he'd been through a rough time, forced to fight two other Spring-locked suits, 'Golden Freddy' and 'SpringBonnie', alongside his own brother: NiceBonnie. The pair were forced to fight Golden Freddy and SpringBonnie alot until '84, when they were decommissioned, this was strictly due to the heavy damage the suits sustained during an apparent robbery, when it was really another one of Golden Freddy's schemes, which had resulted in Niceguy losing his right eye in the skirmish, as well as his left ear. It was during '85 when they arrived at the first Freddy FazBear's Pizza, and Niceguy gave life to Foxy and his friends by means that even he didn't understand. It was later revealed that Golden Freddy originally attempted to send some of his own power into Niceguy to corrupt him, but it didn't work, and instead, Niceguy gained magical abilities for himself...unfortunately it wasn't enough to stop NiceBonnie from being murdered by Golden Freddy, and in return, he killed SpringBonnie in a fit of pure rage, an action he always came to regret. "I know how to deal with this" Niceguy told his friends as he snapped his fingers and a metaphysical baseball bat appeared, pulsing with energy as it's transparent blue appearance confused the other Toys.

"Aight, here we go..." He hit Toy Freddy into the far wall, causing his arm to fall off, and time resumed for Toy Freddy as he screamed in pain, seeing the wires pop out of his arm.

"Oh get over it, it's just an arm..." Niceguy groaned as he snapped his fingers and the arm floated back into place, all the little screws and bolts holding it together with back in place, and the wires had mended themselves back together. "Now...where. Is. Foxy?" Niceguy turned to face Toy Bonnie and Toy Chica as they sheepishly pointed towards 'Kid's Cove'.

"Just don't be so surprised" Toy Bonnie stated as Niceguy grew confused.

"Freddy, you and the others wait here..." He told them as he levitated across the floor, both arms behind his back.

"Quick, time to act Lass!" Foxy told Mangle as he saw Niceguy coming.

"Alright, ready when you are..." She replied as Niceguy entered to see Foxy being fake tossed into a wall.

"Yargh, it'll take more than t'at to get me down!" Foxy acted angry as he noticed Niceguy.

"Foxy!" He cried joyously as the Pirate rushed to give him a hug, which prompted the bear to stop levitating.

"What did they do to you? You look in worse shape then before!" Niceguy was shocked. "Aye it be nothing..." Foxy stated as Mangle cleared her throat, and Niceguy looked at her.

"Whose she?" He pointed at her. "An adversary..." Foxy fake growled at Mangle, who managed to read the sign.

"That's right! And your next!" She lunged at Niceguy, who merely froze her in place by holding up his hand, and yawned.

"Ah geez, are they all this thick-headed?" He asked Foxy as he shrugged.

"don't know...she'll be okay, though, right?" Foxy asked as Niceguy nodded.

"Of course, she'll be fine, it's just a simple freezing spell, here, I'll prove it..." He stepped back as he snapped his finger again, and Mangle lept into nothing as she crashed and slid across the floor, all the while, Foxy yearned to go and help her.

"Mangle!" Toy Chica rushed to her side as Toy Bonnie reluctantly followed.

"Oh my gosh, your jaw!" Toy Bonnie was shocked, this prompted worry from Foxy as he was almost tempted to run to help her. "She'll be fine..." Niceguy winked and snapped his finger as the jaw that was supposedly broken was mended back into place, Toy Chica simply glared at Niceguy and Foxy.

"You got your friend! Now leave!" She exclaimed as Niceguy nodded silently and had Foxy follow him, as they rejoined the others, he was greeted by a barrage of statements.

"Oh thank goodness, your alright!" Freddy sighed.

"Yeah dude, you had us worried!" Bonnie added on.

"And what happened to you?" Chica asked about Foxy's extremely damaged condition.

"That be a tale for later, lass..." Foxy looked back at Mangle, who shared his longing gaze in her eyes, fortunately no one noticed, well...almost no one.

"Come on, let's go back to Parts & Service, we can discuss these things later, but first: I'd like to have a one-on-one conversation with Foxy, if you don't mind..." Niceguy told them as they nodded and returned to Parts & Service.

"So Niceguy, what did ya want to talk to me about?" Foxy asked as they turned towards the Security Office, out of earshot from the Toys and Older models.

"Well Foxy, I gotta say, I really have to commend your acting with that other Fox there, almost had me for a moment..." Niceguy's statement caused Foxy's jaw to drop. "H-How did ya find out!?" He was in shock that he already knew.

"Dude, I have psychic powers, it's not out of my range to telenetically read thoughts, which is how I also know that her name is Mangle...and that a certain Fox is in a relationship with her" Niceguy smirked as Foxy appeared distraught.

"Which is one of the reasons I didn't do anything serious to her, and before you ask: no, I won't tell a soul about this..." Niceguy pledged as Foxy sighed.

"Aye, thank you, lad, I...honestly am not surprised ye found out so quickly" Foxy replied as Niceguy chuckled. "What can I say? I'm good at mind-reading...and quite literally at that" He said to the pirate.

"So, when's my favorite Fox gonna go and visit his future spouse?" Niceguy asked with another smirk as Foxy elbowed him.

"Watch it..." He growled as the black and blue bear laughed.

"Chill...do you even know what a spouse is?" He asked as Foxy shook his head. "You know what? It's not important, it's a human term, anyways, back to my original question" Niceguy inched closer with a stupid grin on his face.

"Well...I'm not sure, I was thinking I'd visit the lass tomorrow after 12:00 AM , maybe meet her in one of 'te party rooms, but I'll need to figure out a way to signal Mangle" Foxy informed him as he rubbed his hands together. "I think I could handle that..." Niceguy figured as Foxy thanked him.

"Come on, let's go to the others..." Niceguy said to Foxy as they two of them rejoined their friends, to discuss what happened to Foxy.
