Felix sat in a chair not too far away from the table that Rilie was working on, he'd been there for a while.
He was using his phone to search for information on Fazbear Frights, finding almost nothing.
He couldn't focus very well either, it was difficult to focus on something when someone was staring at you.
Every few moments, he would glance up to see Rilie turning her gaze away from him quickly.
It's been a few hours since he sat down.
He was about to say something, but he got a message from the tailor.
The suit was done.
"The suit is fixed up, I should probably go get it"
"Ok, I should be done by the time you get back"
Felix stepped out of the shop and walked to his truck.
His thoughts turned to Mary, wondering how she was doing.
XXXXX
"What the hell is this..?"
He finally opened the closet…
Mary was holding as still as possible, her eyes closed.
He was silent for a minute.
She heard him close the door, confusing her slightly.
She listened as he walked out of the room, then she heard him open and close the front door.
…
He left?
He just left after finding her?
…
Something didn't seem right about that…
Mary stepped out of the closet, not knowing what to do.
XXXXX
"Thank you again for fixing it"
"No problem, and don't be afraid to call me if it gets damaged"
"Well I don't know any other robotics experts, so I'll be sure to call you"
Felix waved to the girl as he pulled out of the parking lot.
"Are you alright?"
"I am…I can't remember the last time I felt anything other than pain…"
"Well, you are welcome"
"Not only did you free me…but you got me fixed completely…"
"Yep, wasn't cheap either"
"Why?"
"I…I'm still trying to figure that out"
"I can never repay you…"
"Well, if you could tell me a few things, that would be great"
"Answering questions is the least I could do"
"Ok, the first one, who are you?"
"They called me Bonnie, Spring Bonnie specifically"
Felix asked more questions, slowly figuring everything out.
"Ok, that's all I have for now…"
"That girl, the one that fixed me. She likes you"
"…what?"
"When you left to fix my suit, she called someone and talked about you. Talking about how she 'met a really cute guy' and other things"
"I see…she was looking at me a lot"
The rest of the ride was in silence, until Felix arrived at his house to see something not good.
"Oh no…"
"What is wrong?"
"My brother is here…that guy I told you about when I found you"
"The one you knocked unconscious?"
"Yeah…" Felix parked his truck. "Don't move, I'll see if I can get him to leave without seeing you"
Felix got out and walked over to where his brother was leaning on his car.
"Hey bud"
"What are you doing here?"
"I knew you were hiding something, so I came to see for myself"
"…did you go into my house and look through my stuff without telling me?"
"Yeah, and I found something quite interesting"
"Arron-"
"Listen, Felix. I'm not going to make you explain why you have a weird sex doll in your closet, honestly I wish a hadn't found it"
Sex doll?
That's what he thinks she is?
Mary must have gone limp when she was found.
It's better than him knowing what she really is.
"I just want to know why you've been acting so weird lately, is that why?"
"That's none of your business"
"That's a yes"
"No it's not!"
"Whatever dude, I'm going home"
Felix watched as his brother drove away, sighing heavily.
Arron knows that Mary exists, but luckily he doesn't know what she is.
Felix walked back over to his truck and helped Bonnie get out.
They both went inside.
"I'll be right back"
Felix went to his room, he saw Mary standing in the center of the room.
"I-I'm"
Felix walked over and hugged her.
"You don't have to apologize, it's not your fault. He doesn't know what you really are"
"What does he think I am?"
"T-that doesn't matter, it's not what you are"
"…did you find anything?"
"I did"
"Did you bring them here?"
"Yeah"
"Let me go talk to them"
He let her go, watching as she walked out.
They would get along, right?
They are both robots.
Felix sat on his bed, trying to process this whole day.
XXXX
Even if Arron doesn't know what Mary truly is, he can't risk him ever coming back when he's not here.
Especially now that Spring Bonnie is here, there was no telling how bad things could get.
Speaking of Bonnie…
The bunny has resided to sleeping on the floor in the guest room of his house.
There was a bed in there, but the bunny said he felt more comfortable on the floor than on a bed or anything else.
He also said that, if he ever needed to, he could sleep standing up.
That just sounded super uncomfortable to Felix…
Felix had also noticed that the bunny seemed nervous around Mary, fearful even.
Why could that be?
There were a lot of things about the bunny that seemed strange, but not necessarily in a bad way.
More of a confusing way.
He seemed much more knowledgeable of things, knowing what they were and how they worked.
That included the TV and It's remote, that was another thing.
The bunny liked watching TV, specifically over dramatic love stories.
Sometimes he would watch cartoons, as well.
That's how he spends his time, having nothing else to do.
Anyway-
Arron absolutely can not discover Bonnie, things would get worse very quickly.
It made Felix afraid to leave his house-
Felix's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his phone.
He grabbed it quickly.
"Hello?"
'Hey, it's me'
"What do you want?"
'Jeez, dude. Calm down I thought we got passed that problem'
"Yeah, sure"
'Anyway, I went back to that place we checked out, and I can't find that robot you showed me'
Felix stiffened.
"W-What do you mean?"
'I searched the entire building, and couldn't find the thing'
"Why are you calling me about this?"
'Well, I think you took it'
"What? Why the hell would I do that?"
'I also don't see a spot where the ceiling collapsed, like you said it did, and I found one of the crowbars I gave you'
"…"
'You knocked me out, didn't you?'
"Arron-"
'That's exactly what you did, you knocked me out and got me to leave so you could take the robot and sell it without me knowing!"
Felix sat in dumbfoundment.
'You know if you were anyone else I'd be upset, buts a total 'me' move'
His brother chuckled a bit.
'I didn't think you had it in you to do that, but I hope you know this means war'
"War?"
'Yup, I won't do what you did to me, but if I meet you out there, it'll be a race'
"What are you-" Felix cut himself off.
Arron thinks they are now competing for salvage…
"Y-yeah, you better watch out though"
'You won't be getting me again, see ya'
*click*
Felix put his phone down and sighed.
That takes care of one problem…
But a whole new one started now.
"Darling?"
"Oh, yes?"
"Is everything ok?"
"Not really…"
There was silence for a moment.
"Are you regretting taking me?" She asked quietly.
"W-what? No!" Felix stood up and hugged her. "I don't regret anything involving you, I just…sometimes I wish I didn't have a brother"
Felix sighed again. "Though, If it wasn't for him, I would have never found you"
He gave her a kiss.
"Don't you ever think you're causing any of my problems, don't ever say something like that again"
"But-"
"Shhh, I love you, Mary. Do you think you can get that through your thick metal skull?"
Her face dropped into a pout.
"There's something I have to do, I'll be back later" he let her go and left the room.
He stepped out and decided to check on Bonnie, there really was no need, considering all the bunny does is sit and watch TV.
He opened the door after not receiving an answer when he knocked, finding the bunny staring off into space it seemed.
The TV was on, but the bunny's eyes were distant and slightly cast down.
He was thinking deeply about something, and the expression on his face told that it was troubling.
Felix walked over to the arm chair he was sitting in and wondered if he should do something.
After a second, the bunny's eyes blinked a few times, refocusing on reality.
He turned his head slightly and looked up at Felix.
"Hello…"
"Hey…"
"Is something wrong?"
"I was going to ask you that same question, it looked like you were upset over something"
"Oh…I was just…remembering old times, back when I was on stage…" Bonnie turned his head forward again, looking at nothing in particular. "I suppose it is what humans call…daydreaming"
"We don't usually look sad when we daydream"
"I miss those days…being on stage, singing for the children, being alongside my brother…"
"You have a brother?"
"Not in a sense like humans, but we were together for so long we were like brothers"
"I sense that something bad happened…"
"Bad would be an understatement"
"You don't have to speak about it"
"The bad thing that happened, it happened to me. I don't know what happened to Freddy, I have not seen him since"
"Freddy…as in Freddy Fazbear?"
"Yes, sometimes they called him Fredbear, or Golden Freddy"
"That was…something I was curious about, why do they call you Spring Bonnie?" Felix chuckled lightly. "You don't seem very flowery"
"It is not anything to do with springtime or flowers, it is in reference to actual springs" he looked at his own hands. "I was designed to be worn like a mascot suit, the springs compress the mechanical parts inside of me"
"Oh, that sounds pretty cool…"
"Hmh, does it sound 'cool' if someone were to climb inside of you and make you do horrible things with no way to stop them?"
"W-well…no…"
There was a moment of silence, before it clicked.
"That's what happened to you…"
"Yes…five innocent children…I witnessed it all, I felt it all…" Felix was completely stunned. "Every scream, every cry, the begging…all the blood…all the tears…"
"I-I'm-"
"I watched him do it…I couldn't stop him, I couldn't do anything to help them…"
"I'm so sorry…I shouldn't have said anything…"
"I…I need a moment"
"Right…"
Felix walked out of the room and closed the door, not long after that his phone began to ring.
"Hello?"
'Hey, it's Rilie'
"Oh, hey"
'Could you…come back to my shop? I uh…I have something here that you should know about'
"What is it?"
'It would be best if you came here to see it…'
"Ok…I'll be there in a bit"
Felix walked out to his truck, not able to think about anything other than what Bonnie had said.
XXXX
"Hey"
"You said you don't know anything about that robot? Nothing at all about where it came from?"
"Uh, yeah, I have no idea what happened to it before I found it…"
"Well…I think something very bad happened…"
"…why?"
"Follow me"
Rilie took him to the back room of her shop, there on a table was a small pile of sand.
"Do you know what this is?"
"It…looks like sand?"
"That's what I thought too, this stuff was all over the inside of that robot. I didn't say anything because I thought it was sand too, but it's not"
"…what is it then?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out…"
"Ashes, maybe?"
"I thought about that for a moment, but there was no visible fire damage on its body, and the suit would be ashes too"
"There's not much else it could be…"
Felix noticed that the girl was standing pretty close beside him, closer than was necessary.
He was reminded of something that Bonnie had said.
"That girl, the one that fixed me. She likes you"
Felix suddenly had suspicions, and decided to try something.
"Well, surly someone as smart as you could easily figure out what this is"
"Hu-ah-well-" her face turned pink. "-I-I'm just a mechanic, I'm not good when it comes to…whatever this is…"
That reaction only deepened his suspicions.
"Maybe there is someone else then?"
"I-"
Suddenly, the sound of a bell ringing interrupted them, followed by a voice.
"Hello? Anyone here?"
Felix recognized that voice…
"Ah, one second" Rilie walked around him and back out toward the shop.
Felix followed her.
"Hello, how can I help you sir?"
"Well I was just looking for someone, I recognized his truck outside"
Felix walked into sight.
"Ah, him"
"What are you doing here, Arron?"
"I was just passing through, but I saw your truck" he looked between Rilie and Felix, then smirked. "Find yourself a girlfriend, bud?"
"W-wha-!?"
Felix would have denied it, if it didn't present such an opportunity.
Felix gave a grin and placed an arm around Rilie, who stiffened like a board.
"Maybe I did"
"W-wait, seriously?"
"Yup, jealous?"
"Damn…you really changed, but don't expect to keep outshining me, Felix. I'll get you on something"
Arron walked out of the shop and back to his car.
Felix sighed and let Rilie go.
"I'm sorry about that, it was the quickest way to get him to leave without causing more trouble"
He looked at her, her face was bright pink, and she was breathing quickly.
"I-I-I'll be right back!"
She quickly went to the back room and practically slammed the door shut, causing Felix to sigh again.
But he moved close to the door and began to listen.
Silence for a moment.
"Jessey! I need help!"
She called someone.
"T-that boy I talked to you about before, h-he-"
She began to explain the little incident that happened.
"-what do I do!?"
Felix stepped away from the door, only now realizing the huge mistake he made.
This girl likes him a lot, and after this she definitely won't take rejection well at all.
He can't just take her as his girlfriend, even if she is a rather pretty girl.
Mary won't be happy, there's no way she'll be ok with it.
After what he pulled, he definitely won't be able to get rid of Rilie.
There was absolutely no way he'd be getting rid of Mary either, it would be too cruel.
The door opened and Rilie stepped out.
"Listen-"
"I hope you know you won't be getting away with what you did to me"
"I'm sorry, I just-"
"Nope, you're not talking your way out of this no matter what kind of excuse you pull" she stepped up to him and leaned into him. "You're stuck with me now"
'This is bad…'
"Give me some time to gather up my stuff, then you can take me home"
"I-"
"Shhh"
Felix sighed heavily after she walked out of sight.
He fucked up big time.
