Author Notes:
Here's the new chapter. I know it's short but I've been busy preparing for an upcoming test. Thanks to everyone for their wishes and hope you enjoy Ruby's take on the Custom Night.
Chapter 13
Night 7
Ruby skipped through the door to Freddy's two minutes late. However she was more concerned with balancing her container of leftover cake and coffee cup while she skipped than with being late. Once safely inside the building she looked up and paused.
The room was empty.
No animatronics were in the room or on stage. Frowning in confusion and slowing to a walk she headed to the office.
Setting her things down she checked the cameras on the tablet.
Okay, so Freddy and Chica were in the kitchen apparently since they were nowhere on the cameras and there were noises coming from the kitchen. (They really needed to get that camera fixed.) Bonnie on the other hand was backstage fiddling with his guitar.
Her frown deepened. He looked kind of down.
Slipping the tablet into her backpack she headed in the direction of Pirate's Cove.
"Captain Foxy?" she called as she entered.
The animatronic looked over from the stage and waved lazily.
"Evening lass." He smiled at her.
She grinned back and hopped up on the stage to sit next to him. They sat in companionable silence for a moment as she sipped at her coffee and generally enjoyed the lack of killer robots while on the job.
"So how was your birthday?" the fox eventually asked, eyeing her in amusement.
She was still wearing a plastic party hat on her head.
Ruby's smile turned ever so slightly apologetic.
"Sorry about that. I just couldn't help it. It was so perfectly set up." She giggled, remembering their expressions.
He shook his head ruefully, smirking slightly.
"It was good though." She smiled again and sipped her coffee.
They were quiet for a few more moments before Ruby asked the question that had been bothering her.
"So why does it look like they're moping?" she asked, holding up the tablet.
Foxy sighed.
"With the ghosts stuck upholding their side of the deal the others don't know what to do with themselves. Sure they're happy it's over but its been a really long time since we've had any time for hobbies and relaxing." He murmured.
"You're not moping." She pointed out.
He shrugged. "Never been bothered by not doing anything. I'm lazy that way."
She chuckled before her expression turned thoughtful.
Then it turned evil.
"Then I'll just go entertain them!" she declared, grinning sinisterly.
She jumped to her feet, looking ready to sprint out of the door before she paused and spun around to dig in her bag.
"So Captain, up for some fun?" she asked, mischievous glint in her eyes and two-way radios in her hands.
Foxy raised an eyebrow even as a smile tugged at his mouth.
"You can even watch the show." Ruby sang, handing the tablet over to him along with one of the radios.
"Roping me in on your schemes?" he chuckled, but didn't protest.
She smirked. "It's for their own good! Moping's not good for anyone."
Laughing, he nodded his head in agreement.
Before she left though she froze again.
"Oh, wait! Got to get Goldy the friendly ghost in on it too." She announced.
She leaned over and began to rapidly flick between the cameras. The bear in question appeared about fifty switches in looking nervous.
"Goldy!" Ruby cried, bouncing forward. "Up for some pranks?"
""Pranks?" the bear frowned, glancing at Foxy.
The night guard nodded eagerly. "Yeah! Everyone looks so down in the dumps so let's make things interesting. Foxy's going to guide us."
She held up the other radio.
A grin was creeping across the bear's face, her own mischievous nature surfacing.
"What you go in mind?" she asked.
Ruby practically tackled her bag.
"Glitter mines and bombs are a necessity. Exploding cookies of course. Oooh brought the bedazzler too, forgot about that. There's some paint, ooh we can rig a cake to blow up with paint…" her listing dissolved into more planning than anything else as she shoved things into the golden suit's hands and showed her how they worked.
"Who first?" she asked excitedly.
They looked over at Foxy expectantly.
He checked the cameras again and grinned. "Bon's still alone backstage."
Ruby nodded in the affirmative. "Aye aye Mon Capitan." She saluted before dragging Goldy along with her.
A few seconds later his radio crackled to life.
"Let the battle begin!" Ruby declared.
Bonnie really didn't know what hit him.
And that wasn't a saying.
One minute he was staring at the wall, his mind falling deeper into depressing thoughts. The next there was an explosion of glitter, paint and confetti and he was flat on his back covered in the sticky combination.
After the bedazzler got him in the cheek though he had a good idea of what was going on. He turned his head and glared at the doorway where the night guard was wearing that manic grin of hers.
"Hey, you're not a bad shot with that bedazzler Goldy." She called with a laugh.
Goldy on the other hand was staring at the strange contraption in Ruby's hands.
"You managed to make that in ten minutes…And it works?!" she exclaimed.
Ruby shrugged. "Easier than throwing the glitter, paint and confetti separately. Don't question the logic."
Bonnie groaned even as he eyed the device curiously. "You two are working together?"
"Three." Ruby corrected, holding up a radio.
"Looking good there Bon." Foxy's voice came through the speaker and sounded like he was laughing rather hard.
Bonnie blinked, looking between the camera watching them and the radio before he settled on glaring at Ruby.
She grinned happily back at him. "That's it! You already look more lively."
The rabbit stared at her in confusion. "Lively?"
"Depression don't suit you very well bunny." She grinning before she threw something at him.
He caught it on instinct and, when it didn't explode, looked at it more closely. It was a paintball gun. He blinked in surprise and looked up at her.
"The suit stuffing's over but we can still play." Her smile softened slightly. "Its fun. You a good shot?"
He snorted. "Of course I am."
She leaned forward slightly before her smile widened. "Prove it."
She spun around to run and called back over her shoulder. "And everyone's a target. Foxy and I just so happen to be a team. Maybe you two can team up and help me annihilate the bear and bird?"
Then she was gone.
Bonnie smirked, near mirroring Ruby's own smile.
"This is gonna be fun."
Goldy giggled and floated down to his level. "Let's go sparkle 'em."
Freddy and Chica felt like an all-out war had erupted in the pizzeria.
Bonnie and Ruby were going crazy with their pranks and Goldy was having the time of her life with the bedazzler, popping in and out of rooms while sniping from the air.
Foxy had booby-trapped his entire cove and the surrounding hallways making it a mission in itself to survive there.
None of them cared about innocent casualties either.
At some point they all called a truce and teamed up to mercilessly hunt Freddy and Chica down.
To cut a long, glittery story short; Ruby and Bonnie are no longer permitted to be on the same team (they make a terrifying pair) and Goldy is NEVER allowed to teleport the night guard EVER again. Just, no.
The night went down in the pizzeria's history for its infamy and only ended after Foxy had locked Bonnie in the closet with a dozen glitter bombs, Goldy got stuck in the vacuum cleaner and Ruby got corralled and put in time-out.
…The oven would never be the same again.
"That was fun." Ruby grinned, eating her cake while in the time-out corner.
Freddy groaned, wondering if Ruby or the ghost kids were worse.
Bonnie was yelling from the closet while Foxy refused to open the door claiming that the glitter had to settle first.
Goldy was hiding in her poster (after being released from the vacuum) to avoid punishment but to everyone's dismay Ruby let her keep the bedazzler. Something about it being an apology gift for their first encounter.
Goldy's glee left them all feeling worried.
"You bring chaos wherever you go." Freddy grumbled while Chica dozed lightly on the table.
"Thank you!" Ruby beamed while Foxy chuckled at them.
"You can't say it was boring Freddy." The fox pointed out as Bonnie stumbled out of the closet drenched in glitter.
Ruby dissolved into laughter which ended in a choking fit as the cake went down wrong.
She waved their abruptly panicked questions off though and smiled when the fit ended.
"I can tell, it's going to be great working here."
Her beaming smile really could melt any heart.
Even if she was not-so-subtly pointing her combo weapon at them again.
Author Notes:
And that's the first game officially over. But don't worry. We aren't anywhere NEAR done with this story yet.
Thanks to Rayen Autumn King for the idea to combine the weapons into one. But seriously, don't question the logic...
