Chapter 7: The Long Forgotten Past
As Mike and Foxy left the office, they headed to Pirate Cove. When they got there they sat down and began talking.
"Thank you Foxy for fighting Bonnie earlier and saving my life."
"It was not a problem Mikey. So ye still keepen the job after last night?"
"I am. How else am I supposed to get to know you?"
"Ay that be true Mikey," Foxy said while removing Mike's hat and ruffling his hair.
"What is that on your forehead?" a voice asked from the direction of the rest of the dinner.
The two looked to where the voice came from to see Chica standing there. Chica just kept staring at Mike's forehead while Foxy watched Chica to make sure she didn't move toward Mike. They heard muffled yells from the other side of the pizzeria but they just ignored it and focused on what was going on. Finally the person yelling arrived to the cove and saw who he was looking for.
"Chica! Freddy and I have been looking all over for you. What are you doing here with the traitor and the night guard?" the purple bunny asked.
"I wanted to try to talk to Foxy about going back to helping us but saw something that was interesting. We need to get Freddy!" Chica exclaimed.
"You need to get me for what Chica?" Freddy asked as he turned the corner.
"I don't know exactly what it is but Mike lift up your bangs please," Chica said innocently.
"Why should I listen to you if you guys were trying to kill me!"
"Mikey can I at least see what Chica be yapping about?" Foxy asked.
"I guess you can. Just don't let them hurt me if they don't like what they see."
"Ay, I won't let them hurt ye. Now let old Foxy see," Foxy said while lifting his bangs.
At that moment Foxy looked as if he had seen a ghost. The others looked at Mike and Foxy confused as all get out. Foxy turned his head and looked at the others with a domineer that you know he would cry if he could. Freddy started walking over but Chica stopped him and gave a look that told him to give Foxy space. Mike was a little worried, he had never seen the captain like that in the two nights he was there.
"Foxy what's wrong? Is there something you know about my scar that I don't?" and all the other animatronics perked up at this.
"Th-That be from Mangle, ye be me little matey all grown up. We thought ye be dead and that why we did this."
"You saying that I'm the boy from the incident you told me a little about yesterday? B-But that means it's my fault your friends where shut down and-and," Mike stated starting to cry.
"Mike how do you not remember the Bite of '87?" Bonnie asked in shock.
"I-I don't know Bonnie. I don't even remember ever coming here. Y-You guys looked familiar and Foxy's named seemed familiar as well."
"The trauma must have made him forget everything to do with this place and the incident itself. And most likely after the incident his mother never brought him again," Freddy said while looking at the now crying Mike Schmidt.
"E-Even now that you are telling me I still d-don't remember."
"Mikey ye be alright. Don't ye cry. We will help ye remember lad."
"R-Really?"
"Ay, ye be me first matey and ye know I like ye."
"Now that we know that you are Michael from '87 we won't try and kill you," Freddy said.
"H-How can I-I trust y-you guys? Y-you acted friendly w-when we first m-met but th-then tried to k-kill me."
"We are truly sorry for how we acted but please forgive us for our actions," Chica said as apologetic as possible for her.
"I-I'll try to b-but I d-don't know i-if it will ever be the same."
"Mikey just trying is all they be asking. That be all ye can do, now how 'bout we all head to the dining room to talk about what happened to ye when ye came to Fazbear's okay?" Foxy said while hugging Mike and rubbed his back with his hooked right hand.
"O-Okay Foxy. I-I guess that's the best I can do to remember."
With that all five of them went to the dining section of the pizzeria. They sat down at the end of the table closest to the stage and near Pirate Cove. The animatronics tried to think of where to start in telling Mike of his experience at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria when he was a child.
"You started coming every Friday after your tenth birthday so that was back in '85. You would come and hangout with Foxy almost the entire time but you would come listen to the band a little each visit," Freddy started off.
"Ay, I called ye me first matey cause ye was the only one I saw on a weekly bases."
"You would eat pizza then play with Foxy every time with no falter. That was your routine and no one messed with it."
"Ay that was how ye been till a week before ye accident. I remember ye mum came to get ye early that Friday she said 'Michael come on you can play with Foxy next week but your father is coming home tonight from being overseas.' Ye told me once ye father was in the Navy and that's why ye liked me was I was a sailor too," Foxy said with a smile.
"C-Can you tell me w-what happened on that day?" Mike asked rubbing his head.
"Only if you sing Mike will we tell you. You used to sing whenever you saw a kid crying and you had an amazing voice then," Bonnie said.
"His voice still be pretty. I heard it while I was at Mikey's house. So whatta ye say will ye sing for them?"
"If you tell me sure but don't laugh since the song I picked is sung by a girl but I like the message it gives, okay?"
"We will tell you and we promise not to laugh." Chica said with a sincere smile.
"Okay."
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the word of a love song
Uh oh, Uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe you when she stands under my color, oh,
And life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by…
…the sharp knife of a short life, oh well?
I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead people start listenin'
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh, oh
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em; oh
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
"Mike your voice is so beautiful but why did you sing such sad song?" Chica asked.
"Thank you and I don't know why. According to my mom it started when I started high school," Mike said.
"A promise is a promise," Bonnie said with a mellow kind of tone.
"Ye came in to the pizzeria around one thirty that afternoon. Ye went to Freddy and asked, 'Hi is Foxy in the cove?' He told ye, 'Yes he is in the cove but I don't know where at in the cove.' Ye sat down and ate ye some cheese pizza till around two. Ye walked into Pirate Cove and looked around for me and when ye didn't see me ye went to Mangle," Foxy said with a growl as he said Mangle's name.
"What happened next Foxy?" Mike said in a melancholy tone.
"Ye asked her, 'Do you know where I can find Foxy, Mangle?' She snarled cause she was built to be me first matey but she knew I called ye first matey and she finally had it. Ye asked, 'Is everything okay Mangle?' in a sweet innocent voice but right after ye asked she went chomp right on ye head. I looked over as she let go and ye fell to the ground. I rushed over to ye and the other animatronics came and pined Mangle and I sent Chica to get ye mum and have the manager call an ambulance. Ye mum ran over to see me applying pressure to ye head and as she ran I heard, 'Michael! Oh my god Michael,' she then started applying pressure on the wound with me. When the ambulance arrived she had me carry ye to it and that was the last time any of us saw ye. Ye mum came the next day and talked to Jonas' dad about what was going on but she never told us and she was crying. After that Mangle and all of the other toy serious were dismantled as well as Golden, Balloon Boy, and Marionette because they were built with the toy series or too old to fix," Foxy said while hugging Mike.
"She bit me cause she didn't like the fact I had what she wanted?"
"That wasn't the only reason Mike, the kids had been picking her apart and she was enraged by that as well. Her suit was basically shreds," Freddy said.
"That still doesn't justify what she did," Bonnie said while looking at the back room.
"What's back there?" Mike asked noticing the room Bonnie was staring at.
"It has our spare parts and is said to have uninhabited suits and the old animatronics but we don't see them back there," Chica said in an unusually sad tone.
"I see. I have a question if you don't mind answering."
"Shoot Mikey. We be will'en to answer everything."
"Why do you guys act like you guys are people when you aren't? Is it in your programing to be sentimental? I'm sorry if I'm being rude with these questions."
After a long silence, "It's because when we were teenagers we were killed and shoved into these suits. Our spirits are connected to them and cannot be separated in any way," Freddy said while looking at his fellow animatronics.
"That's horrible. Why would anyone do such a thing to a group of teens?" Mike asked while fighting back more tears.
"It be okay Mikey we be to terms with it now."
"But Foxy you guys were just children that should have lived long lives."
"We know that Mike but there was nothing we could have done. The man that did was ruthless and would have stopped at nothing to get us after we saw him kill one of his fellow employees," Bonnie said while looking at the ground.
"Did he get caught or is he still out there? Plus what was his name?"
"He been Vincent. According to the reports that came to the manager he was captured but he escaped."
"Could I be endanger for working here?"
"No matey. I don't think ye will be endanger."
"But what if he wants to get rid of me cause I survived the incident plus my job here?"
"He won't get ye if I have any say in it lad."
"Same here Mike, we won't let him get you if he tries to," Chica said while hugging Mike.
"Thanks guys but I got to go, the pizzeria is going to be opening soon."
"Aye lad be careful Mikey."
"I will. I promise."
With that Mike walked out the doors to get into his car to leave. As Mike was walking out of the pizzeria he felt as though he was being watched by cold calculating eyes waiting for the perfect time to strike. He looked around a little as he got in his car. When he saw nothing he shaked it off as paranoia and left.
"I will get you Michael Schmidt just to show people I'm still here," a man dressed in an all purple security uniform said while watching Mike leave in his car.
