A Long Overdue Fix
By
End of Grace
Chapter 6: Welcome to the Family.
Adam's jaw was open as he leaned on the table, his whole attention on Mike, who took a moment to take a sip of his soda.
"Then what? Did Dahl find out?" Adam asked his hands clenching the table eagerly.
"Oh... he found out probably only hours later, don't forget Harvey was his inside man and he was really close to Chica at the time too, but he let us know that he knew. Not that it really mattered, lots of other stuff happened after that." smiled Mike. "Like-"
Suddenly a loud bell rang out throughout the store. Both Bonnie and Shadow moaned as they got to their feet.
"What's going on?" Adam asked as he got to his feet and let Shadow out.
"It's six in the morning sweetie," said Shadow with a yawn and kissed Adam on the cheek much to the human's embarrassment, "Time for the good animatronics to hit the hay."
"And time for us to head home," said Mike, "Come on Adam...I'll walk you home."
"Ok. Oh, wait, I've left my bag in the security room. I'll be right back."
"Take your time Adam. I want to speak to Mike for a moment," said Bonnie as he wrapped his arm around Mike's waist. Adam quickly walked down the hall and stopped when he saw Sooty coming up, looking sad as he wiped away his oily tears when he noticed Adam looking at him.
"Hi Sooty, is Goldie ok? I was worried that the guy was going to hurt him," said Adam as he stepped closer to the large purple bear, taking in his appearance. He noticed that Sooty had his hat at an angle over one of his ears, his bow tie was larger than it needed to be, and he wore a black waist coat. Suddenly, Sooty grabbed Adam and yanked him into a large hug, holding him tightly against himself, his muzzle pressing in to Adam's neck. Adam couldn't move, Sooty was holding him too tightly, but he could feel the bear shaking as he silently cried. Sooty then looked up and Adam felt a lump catch in his throat as he looked at the bear's face. He had never seen a bear cry before and he really wished he hadn't, it was heart breaking as he hugged Sooty
back. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a tissue to wipe Sooty's face. The large purple bear sniffed and leaned against the side of Adam's face.
"My dad doesn't know who I am. Keeps saying I'm a stranger."
"I'm sorry," said Adam, then after a moment, "I didn't know you could talk."
"I'm shy," said Sooty, "Plus it helps with children who are also shy, can't talk, or deaf. It makes them feel like we're the same."
"I guess. I'm sorry about Goldie, Sooty, I wish there was something I could do."
"Just let me hold you for a little bit. Best Shadow don't see me in tears...he worries." said Sooty as he nuzzled a bit closer.
"It can't be for too long. Mike's waiting for me." Adam muttered. Sooty nodded and held Adam tightly, the small human rubbing his back for comfort.
"Some days," Sooty spoke softly in between sniffs, "He calls me Freddy and asks why I dyed my fur. Other days he remembers and calls me his cheeky little cub. Other days he just stares at me, his processor whining loudly, his optics blank…like he doesn't even know I exist."
Adam felt his heart squeeze, "Sooty...I don't know a lot about robotics, but I do know that if the processor isn't working right, it's not going to read its memory chip, and that's what's wrong with your dad, or 'papa bear'," Adam stepped back slightly, "His processor can't read his memories right...but that doesn't mean he's forgotten you...his processor just can't find the right memory for the right time, and if he knew that it was hurting you like this, I'm sure he would say that he was sorry and that he loves you; you know what I mean."
Sooty smiled, a wide charming smile that made Adam feel suddenly shy himself as the large purple bear pulled him into his arms again for a hug.
"Thank you Adam." said Sooty as he came up and kissed Adam's cheek and rubbed his hair before going down the hall to the main floor. Adam shook his head and quickly grabbed his bag and ran back to the main floor to meet up with Mike while the animatronics were falling asleep on the stage.
"Ready?" Mike asked as he held the door open for him before pausing, "Oh, I forgot, since you've past your five nights, you'll need to sign an official work contract now, where are you stationed today?"
"Err, usually Jeremy texts me and…" Adam started but stopped as Mike waved his hand in a dismissive manner.
"Don't worry about it. How about I treat you to lunch at The Cove today and I'll have someone go over the contract with you. Then tonight you can work the evening shift at Nightmare Realm ok?"
"Sure...that sounds awesome...but...I won't always be doing nights will I?"
"Oh no, I'm not cruel like that," said Mike with a smile. "Do you have your college time table?"
Adam nodded, "Bring a copy of it with you, so I can have a copy for when I work out the weekly router and if you ever need time off and such you just let me know. Now, let's get going, I don't know about you but I can hear my bed calling me."
The morning was quite cool as they walked along the pavement at a slow and steady pace. The sun was just peeking over the horizon and people were making their own way to work as they headed home. Mike leaned heavily on his cane as Adam followed him back and continued to ask questions.
"Hey does this mean you're the one that left Cherry for me? Why?" Adam asked.
"Oh...I guess I thought you needed a friend as well as someone to help you out in the pizzerias as well as college." said Mike with a smile though he gave off a melancholy air.
"She's been fantastic. She's great at taking notes and stuff for me...though I do have a question...why is she 2.0?"
"Cherry, the original one, was my project for my finals at college; she was also my companion during a time when my life was pretty bad. My girlfriend at the time had stolen all of my money and savings, leaving me broken hearted as well as broke. Cherry helped me during my time at the pizzeria and such, until someone broke into my apartment…and they smashed her to bits"
"Shit...did they ever find the guy that did it?"
"No, but he was dealt with all the same, anyway, how do you like working with the animatronics?"
Adam took his time to think about it. The ones at the Freddy's were alright and friendly, the ones at the cove were the same except for Foxy, who was a bit uptight. The Nightmares were pretty awesome, though as Connie said they were a bit hands on, mostly Plushtrap.
"They're...interesting?" said Adam not sure if he used the right word, he felt reassured when Mike laughed.
"You're being polite, I can tell, you can be honest with me, nothing you would say would shock me," said Mike as they walked up the stairs to their apartments.
"It's crazy really, I keep forgetting that their animatronics because they're so alive, they're also really hands on…"
"Don't I know it," Mike muttered in an over exaggerated way that made them both laugh out loud as they stood on the landing just as Thomas was going into his apartment. He openly glared at Mike with a heated dislike; Adam was surprised that Mike didn't go up in a puff of smoke. Mike continued to smile and wave at him neither the less.
"Hello Thomas. Hoped you slept well?"
The older man snorted in disgust and looked at Adam, "Mr. Edge, it would break your mother's heart to know you were hanging around thieves, I suggest you find yourself another job as quick as possible," and with that the old man stomped into his apartment and slammed the door shut, leaving Adam bewildered as he looked at Mike, who seemed disappointed and sad.
"What was all that about?"
"Don't worry about it. It's not important. I'll come and collect you when it's time for lunch," said Mike as he opened his door, "Like you, I think an hour or two will do me the world of good before I face the rest of the day. See you later Adam," said Mike as he went to his own apartment. Adam slowly walked to his, now and again looking back at the two other apartments; thinking about what he knew of the pizzerias and Mike. If Mike was the owner, then at one point or another he must have been Dahl's lover in order for the deceased man to leave it to him in his will. Then there was the landlord...if he was the son of the original owner and creator Mr. Fred McBear then...he should have been the one to have inherited the animatronics...but Mike has them…was that why there was such a bitter feud between them? He'll have to ask later, he was too tired now and his head was spinning. He didn't bother to undress as he slumped on to his bed and quickly fell asleep.
-Line Break-
Adam rushed around the apartment doing the last minute chores his mom had left for him to do before meeting up with Mike for lunch. He actually wondered what he should wear as Mike was technically his boss. Should he dress up? Be causal? He decided to go with a pair of smart jeans and shirt. Still casual but smart enough to make an impression. He quickly looked in a mirror and combed his dark hair and checked for any zits or anything that might embarrass him when seeing Mike. Once he was sure he was ok and he had texted his mom what he was doing-in case she came home for lunch and expected him there-before heading out the door. Mike was just coming out of his door, he was in tight blue jeans, a white shirt and denim jacket, his silver hair falling over his shoulder in a loose ponytail, for some reason even though he looked so casual, he also looked really smart as well, Adam felt envious. They took the bus and engaged in pointless conversation until they reached The Cove. They stepped up slowly when Mike paused and looked into the play area before turning to Adam.
"Would you mind if I paid my respects first...I haven't been up here in a while."
"Sure...err...you want to be alone?"
"Not really…besides...after this morning I think it's only fair that you know what is going on between me and Thomas McBear and why the hell he can't throw me out on the street as much as he wants too."
Adam walked slightly ahead and opened the gate for Mike and kept a polite distance as Mike picked some daisies and buttercups and placed them on Chi's grave. Mike walked over to the grave with the coil…Spring-something, before heading over to the bench and sitting down, his face going slightly pale.
"What do you know of the history of Freddy's, Adam?"
"Just what I read on the wiki. Mr. McBear originally owned a dinner and then had to sell it due to a kid being murdered on his doorstep. Then he went into business and was the manager of the pizzeria until he had to retire due to the bite of 87 which was due to the CEO paying someone to mess with one of the animatronics…"
Mike smiled as he pat the empty space next to him. "Mr. Fred McBear was an amazing man and inventor, but he was also a very serious man who loved his creations and was a very good mentor and father figure to me. I told you didn't I, my girlfriend had robbed me? Mr. McBear was my landlord at the time, a very understanding landlord, who gave me more chances than I deserved. When he heard that I was befriending and fixing his children, who at the time had been left to rot by the CEO, he decided to test me and then train me to look after his children. The CEO at the time, hated Freddy and the others with a passion and wanted them gone, but Mr. McBear still owned them, so he did what he could to have the pizzeria shut down. One day he found a clause in the old contract that there had to be a certain amount of animatronics in the store. At the time, Goldie was officially retired and Chi was missing, so we were one animatronic short and had only a week to find Chi or build a new one. Both were impossible to do, so I came up with an idea to dig up Springtrap from his grave in the original pizzeria, Mr. McBear was against it at first but when we discovered that Springtrap was actually still functioning and roaming the old building like a lost child he quickly changed his mind. Turns out the CEO wanted to get rid of all of the animatronics because of what happened to Springtrap, and once Springtrap was repaired and reunited with him, he changed."
"Wait, the CEO wanted to shut down his whole business; chuck Freddy and the gang out on the street because his favorite animatronic was put to rest instead of fixed? That's a bit extreme, right?" said Adam in disbelief.
"Not really, considering the relationship between them. The CEO actually designed Springtrap and helped raised him. They were once as close as brothers and his death was a great blow for him. Once Springtrap was returned to him, of course their relationship matured. The CEO was repented, wanted to make it up to the animatronics, mostly Foxy who had been falsely accused of the bite, so he had The Cove built. The company was doing well for the first time in years."
"Then it came out that the CEO was stealing money from the company because of a blackmailer and he then used an animatronic, Springtrap, to kill him…" said Adam almost excitedly until he saw Mike shake his head.
"No. That's not how it happened! I should know, I was there, Springtrap was worried that the CEO was in trouble. When we went to the house, the CEO was about to be raped by the blackmailer and Springtrap attacked him, killing him, which later led to him being destroyed. Of course that also led to the end of the CEO's career. He had to sell his house and car to pay back some of the money, the rest was eventually gotten back but it did take years, and he had to move it with his father who was of course…"
"Mr. McBear, sh-I mean damn. I bet he wasn't too pleased with him right?"
"No, not at all, he was still his son and he couldn't turn him away. But that didn't mean that he trusted him either. Some time past, Thomas started to take care of the building for him, while his health started to deteriorate; now I don't know whether it was the stress of what was going on or-" Mike stopped talking, his throat was tight as he tried to swallow back his tears, "But his heart gave out...at least that is what the doctor said it was. We had the funeral at Freddy's, you can imagine what it was like with the animatronics, Goldie mostly since he was the oldest. Then came the reading of the will, and Mr. McBear had left the animatronics to me and the building to Thomas, on the understanding he was not allowed to throw me out or contest to the will. If he tried to do either he would lose everything to me. So you understand why he is so upset with me?"
"Yeah...but…" Adam tried to digest what he had been told, "Mr. McBear-the senior one-he felt he couldn't trust his son with his creations because of his past behavior, which I totally get, but the whole thing about losing everything if he threw you out is a bit much. I mean, would he have done that, if it didn't state it in the will?"
"Are you kidding me? He was practically booting me out the door the moment the lawyer had told him that the animatronics had been left to me and not him. Thomas had thought his father would leave the animatronics to him and he would be able to start over, he didn't care about the nightmares or Dahl, he had his own plans."
"Let me guess…plans that he hadn't discussed with Freddy or the others right?"
"Right. Of course telling an over protective mama bear like Freddy, that the past is the past with what happened to Fred and he didn't need a second rate piece of scrap like Sooty either. I understand Thomas's ass didn't touch the tarmac until he was well clear of the car park."
Adam whistled, "Shit, so with the animatronics and the will against him, Thomas just had to deal with it but has been making your life hell for it?"
"He did at first...but it calmed down over the years…then he heard about me now owning the pizzerias and kicked off again. The sad thing is, Thomas is a good person...the sad part is he can not only hold a grudge, he has a wicked temper. Ah well...it's all history now anyway, let's get inside, I don't know about you but I'm starving."
Adam walked with Mike out of the garden and for a moment wondered why a garden and play area was here and not at Freddy's. They walked towards the doors when Adam noticed out of the corner of his eye, a bright red sports car with all the trimmings gleaming in the sunlight.
"Wow! She's beautiful! I'd love to own a car like that!" he muttered.
"Then I suggest you take on another three jobs," said Mike with a smile.
"Hey! A guy can dream can't he?" Adam laughed as he followed Mike in, "But why would someone drive such an expensive car here? It's a little weird right?"
"It might be, if the person wasn't a regular face around here and a force to be reckoned with," said Mike tilting his head towards the far back booth. There sat an older woman with a laptop and much to Adam's surprise a golden bunny animatronic that was just up to his knees sitting with her. They made their way over as the woman was speaking on her mobile.
"Yes...I don't care if you have to work all night...it has to be tomorrow or the arsehole walks. Yes. Goodbye! Gwen, make sure to remind me that I see Don first thing in the morning please."
"Yes Mrs. Jane," said the gold bunny as she looked up at Mike, "Mrs. Jane, your one o'clock has finally arrived."
"Remind me to do something about your snootiness Gwen at your next maintenance," said Mike as he patted the bunny on the head and leaned down to kiss the woman on the cheek.
"You're not eating right again," the woman complained, "I can practically see your ribs."
"Nice to see you too mom," said Mike, "Adam Edge, this is Jane Schmidt, my mother and head of Schmidt law firm, she deals with all the legal stuff that goes over my head and in return I keep her little animatronic running and have dinner with her at least once a week. The snooty bunny is Golden Bonnie or better known as Gwen."
"Mr. Edge," said Jane as she shook Adam's hand and gestured for him to sit down. "Well done on surviving your five nights, I know how hard it can be, I myself only got to the third night."
"Wait...you had to do the five night's too?" Adam was shocked and confused as Mike and his mom chuckled.
"I didn't have too...but I wanted too. I wanted to prove that I could be trusted. Now I'm officially in charge of all media, legal activities and charity events for the pizzerias. So I have your contract here, if you would like to read it and then sign it and I'll do the rest."
Adam looked over the contract and quickly signed it. Jane took the paper and handed it to Gwen, who took out a stamp and ink from her bag and stamped it before placing it all back into it.
"Now I've already ordered for us so they should be bringing it out right about now." said Jane as BB appeared with a large tray containing two large pizzas and salad dishes as well.
"Wow, how much you want me to pay?" Adam asked as he reached for his wallet but Jane waved her hand.
"Don't worry about it. My treat, BB, would you mind getting us a couple of sodas and some water for me please. Gwen, oil?"
"Yes please." said the Bunny happily as she looked up from some paperwork.
"Coming right up," said BB, "Would you like some ice in your water as well Mrs. Jane?"
"Yes please BB." Jane smiled at him and the smaller animatronic ran off with their drink order.
"Gwen, how are your joints? Do I need to tighten them up?" Mike asked as he picked up a slice of pizza.
"My joints are working well thank you. It was most embarrassing that my arm stiffen like that." said Gwen as she brushed down her fur.
"How did you do that?" Adam asked.
Gwen shivered as she glared at Adam, "It was an accident in the workplace that is all."
Mike snorted as Jane polity coughed to cover her laugh, Gwen getting all the more upset as she wiggled in the seat. "It was"
"Of course it was dear," said Jane with a smile, "Anyone can get their servo stuck in the snack vending machine."
Adam choked on his pizza slice at the image of the snotty bunny trying to get her arm out of the vending machine.
"Besides it was my fault for asking you to go and get me a snack. I should have known better." said Jane.
"But I wanted to help…" said Gwen her ears flopping down sadly. "You've been working so hard…"
"You do help me sweetie! And I'm grateful," said Jane who then turned to Adam, "Mike made Gwen for me to help me remember court dates, where paperwork was and all the other numerous things I have now come to need her for, plus she keeps me company when I'm at home."
BB came over with their drinks and Adam was quick to notice that while he and Mike had the usual plastic cups, Mrs. Jane was offered a glass while BB placed the pitcher of water on the table.
"So where will you be tonight Adam? Freddy's? Here?" Mrs. Jane asked as she bit into her salad.
"Oh, I'm at Nightmare Realm tonight. Did you do one of your nights there Mrs. Jane?"
"I did, and it was also where I failed too," she said with a small laugh, "It's a shame too since I made it all the way to five AM and then Big Daddy turned up and scared the life out of me. Though I might have had it a bit easier than you, since back in those days, Plush and the Fredlings were only cubs, no bigger than what JJ is now."
"Really? Plush was little once? What about Shadow and Sooty?" Adam asked.
Both Mike and his mom reached for their phones and started to show Adam picture after picture of the second generation animatronics when they were younger and the many things they got up to. Like the time they decided to all try and eat pizza and got it all in their joints and fur. The time Mike took them all to the toy shop and somebody tried to pay for Sooty at the counter.
"I think the most embarrassing thing though is when they discovered why boys and girls were different and Plush declared very loudly in Freddy's that he wanted a winky."
Adam rolled up laughing tears almost coming out of his eyes as he tried to picture it. "I bet Freddy wasn't impressed."
"He wasn't. He punished them all by banning them from watching the TV for a week. Which according to some very upset little bots, it might as well have been forever, it of course didn't last that long, Freddy couldn't stand seeing Sooty mope." said Mike with a slight laugh as Gwen stood up on her seat.
"Excuse me Mrs. Jane but we better leave now to get back in time for your afternoon meeting."
"Thank you Gwen. Adam, it was lovely meeting you and good luck with your new job. Mike for goodness sake, try and put on some weight and actually eat a meal that contains vegetables for a change, and no, ketchup doesn't count." said Jane as she got to her feet.
"I'll do my best mom," said Mike as he kissed her on the cheek. "See you later Gwen!"
"Goodbye Mike, Mr. Edge." said the gold bunny as she trotted after her owner.
"Wow, your mom is really something, she really runs a law firm?" said Adam as he ate a cold slice of pizza.
"Yeah, she originally ran it with my dad and worked cases. After his murder, she gave up being a lawyer and just concentrated on the business side of things."
"She's really good with the animatronics too. My mom would be a little freaked out by them."
"She wasn't at first, in fact she and my father were very much against this place, she came around after his murder and has been, part of the family, if you will, ever since."
"I've been meaning to ask you about Critter County?" Adam started but Mike broke him off.
"Don't worry, it's a simple business thing I have got going with them, they have four animatronics in storage that I am interested in buying. Dahl, before he died, used Freddy and Foxy's likeness for his own pizzeria in his theme park. Something went wrong and it had to be closed down. I'm in the middle of some harsh negotiations," said Mike, a smile not quite reaching his eyes as he looked away. Adam got the hint; Critter County and Dahl were not to be discussed. He wondered why? Was it because of Dahl and his relationship with him? But then...Mike was with Bonnie and had been since Shadow's creation right? Right?
-Line Break-
Adam walked slowly up to Nightmare Realm after catching the last late bus. He could have called Mark or asked Mike to get him a lift but he didn't want to put anyone out. He pulled out his set of keys and quickly entered via the employees' entrance and stamped in. He made his way to the security room via his torch when he heard a loud clattering coming from the main hall.
"Plush? Chloe?" he called out, shining his torch down the hall, when he heard some giggling. He slowly walked up the hall, his heart beating heavily in his chest and was wondering if he should find something to protect himself. "Mr. Big Daddy...is that you?"
He lowered his light slightly as he wanted to surprise whoever it was who was snooping about, maybe he could get to them before they stole anything, or worse, hurt the animatronics. He slowly walked on to the main floor and shined his light slightly towards the arcade area where the Fredlings and Plush were meant to be…but weren't.
"SURPRISE!"
Adam jumped and dropped his torch as the main lights came on and everyone jumped out of their hiding places. It was all the animatronics, Connie, Mike, Jeremy, Jack and Mark, even Gwen and Mrs. Jane were there too.
Freddy stepped forward, his servo held up for a handshake as he smiled down at Adam.
"Adam, 'Welcome to Freddy's Fazbear and co, where kids of all ages come for entertainment and food as far as the eye can see! Here we treat people like family and you're our newest member.'"
Everyone cheered and whooped as Freddy gave Adam the welcoming hug and then pulled him forward to greet everyone else. The triplets hugged his knees, the girl animatronics gave him hugs and kisses while the male ones shook his hand and meshed up his hair.
"Sorry for deceiving you Adam, but it's become sort of a tradition here, to greet new comes with a party." said Mike as he struggled to stand up from his seat.
"So you do this for all the employees?" Adam asked, "You scared the crap out of me."
Connie laughed as she hugged him tightly, "Nah, only those who will have regular one to ones with the animatronics, so cleaners and the cooks don't count. Welcome to the family kiddo!"
"Hey man, if you think this is crazy, you should see what we all do at Thanksgiving!" said Mark as he slapped Adam on the back.
"Besides, the animatronics love having parties like this, it not often they all get to see one another. Though the younger ones are all texting buddies," added Jack as he pulled Adam in for a tight hug, "Now come on! Chloe and Chica have been cooking here since this place has been closed and the wicked birds used Plush and Bonnie to keep me out and I am starving!"
As Jack dragged Adam over to the food table, he spotted Goldie sitting down at another table on his own, looking very confused and lost. He hoped the old 'bot was ok.
Shadow leaned forward and smiled at Adam. "I was wondering if I could have your mobile number?"
Plush snorted loudly, "Jeez Shadow being a little forward ain't ya?"
"I was simply asking," said Shadow as he rolled his eyes. "I thought it would be nice if we could text during the days he's not in. Keep him in the loop as it were."
"Err...sure, that makes sense," said Adam as he handed over his number. "So you guys all have mobiles? I've never seen you with them."
Mangy, Shadow, and Plush all produced their phones out from their fur as Shadow explained. "Daddy was kind enough to make us pockets in our fur so we could hold them. He wanted it so that we could keep in contact with each other in case of emergencies or if we think something was wrong. Sooty was able to use his phone to record Harvey's actions and get him fired. I hoped I never had to see that jerk again."
"Be Ms. Chica alright? That scallywag did not leave her in the best condition." said Mangy.
"Chica is still a bit jumpy but she says she's fine, besides, Jeremy is taking care of her," said Shadow pointing over to another table where Jeremy was sitting beside Chica, her head resting on his shoulder. "So Adam...are you single?"
"I've already asked him that!" said Plush as he slid in next to Adam, "and I have already seen how pretty his nipples are"
Adam choked on his drink as Plush laughed while Mangy and Shadow didn't seem impressed at all.
"Me and Adam have become the best of friends, he even offered to fix my foot…" then Mangy's ears pressed against his head as he suddenly became embarrassed, "And...We shared a kiss."
Plush almost snarled as he flung back in his seat as Shadow giggled. "Is he any good Mangy?"
Mangy nodded as Adam continued to cough, his face going bright red, as he tried to look anywhere but at the three animatronics. Shadow breathed on his servo and brushed it against his fur in a smug way as he scooted closer to Adam till their sides were pressing.
"So sweet, a little kiss for Mangy and nipples for Plush. Shame that unlike me, you haven't seen their cocks yet."
Adam swore his face was going to explode and one of the other animatronics was going to think his face was a light, he was so embarrassed. He buried his face in his hands as the three teen animatronics started to argue. He was about to slid under the table when something wrapped itself around him and lifted him out of the seat. He looked up to see Sooty smiling down at him as he carried him away from the table where the other three just sat in shock.
"Thanks Sooty! I think they were determined to embarrass me to death," said Adam as Sooty placed him down by the refreshments.
"They mean well," said Sooty with a small grin, "It's just nice to have someone closer to our programmed ages. We've always been around older people, so I guess we're all a little excited."
"Yeah, well, Sooty…how can I tell them I'm not interested?" Adam asked.
"Is it because they're male or that they're animatronics?" Sooty asked folding his arms.
"No, no, I'm gay, I got no problem with that…it's more the other thing."
Sooty hummed as he smiled down at Adam, "Adam, look at Mike and Jeremy, do they look like they care that anyone knows that they're with animatronics?"
"Well…no." said Adam looking over at Mike and Bonnie dancing on the floor.
"Then what is the problem? You can have a casual thing here and if you want something serious you can have that as well. No one will judge you for it."
Adam bit his lip as he looked at Sooty and then looked around at the table where Shadow, Plush and Mangy were talking. He rubbed the back of his neck and bit his lip. Sooty had a point, it wasn't like he had a boyfriend at the moment, it wouldn't hurt to have a little fun.
"Why don't you go and sit down with my papa bear and I'll bring you over a plate." said Sooty as he pushed him towards Goldie, picking up a small plate for him. Adam smiled as he went over to Goldie who was sitting on his own folding a napkin.
"Hey Goldie, mind if I sit with you?"
The large gold bear looked up at him, Adam trying not to wince at the loud whine of Goldie's processor, as the bear smiled up at him.
"You're the little lost boy from the other night. Is this party for you? Are you having a good time?"
"Yeah, I'm having a great time," said Adam as he sat down next to the large bear. "Isn't Freddy with you?"
"I think he's busy," said Goldie sadly, "He works really hard you know. He's in charge of everything. He'll be putting on a show for you soon, you'll love it, all little boys and girls love it."
Then he looked around and leaned down and whispered in Adam's ear, "Then later my honey pot is going to give me my own private show."
Adam chuckled and smiled, "That's great Goldie. You and Freddy been together for a long time right?"
"That's right. We've had cubs too you know. Our Freddy Jr. and Sooty. Freddy Jr. is really good at singing and Sooty is a very naughty little cub. Don't know where he gets it from. Freddy Jr...he's not with us anymore...he's gone." Goldie's processor started to hum again and Goldie's head started to twitch. "They killed him! Those little shits! They killed Springtrap and then killed my poor baby bear! They should have been rotting in hell where they belonged! Walking around, scaring people in those rotten suits, the horrible little brats."
"Goldie? What are you on about? What brats?" Adam asked looking worried as thick black oily tears fell down the gold face.
"The Children. The ghosts of the dead children. They murdered my son and best friend. They tried to kill us all"
