Author Notes

I'm so sorry this took so long! It was test week so I didn't have a chance to write all week and then my laptop decided yesterday to give me problems. I only got it sorted out today. But here's night two. Hope you like it. I know its a bit shorter than usual but with all the drama and stress that's as long as I could make it. I'll make up for it in the next few chapters.

Chapter 23

Night 2 Take 2

Ruby practically skipped into work, waving excitedly at the gang. They looked at each other for a moment and then back at the bouncing night guard.

"Sugar rush?" Freddy asked with a sigh while Bonnie snickered at the thought of what was going to happen that night.

Ruby nodded enthusiastically.

"The interviews cut into my sleeping time so I brought a bunch of caffeine and sugar and stuff so that I could get on a sugar high and maintain it during the night so that I can have fun and-" she ran out of air and stopped to breathe.

Freddy quickly cut in.

"That's great Ruby." He shook his head but looked amused.

She grinned at them, giving Freddy the equipment and movies.

"Enjoy!" she yelled as she took off to start the night.

The 'bots were quiet for a moment before Chica spoke.

"Anyone else notice that she was carrying a sword?" she asked nervously.

"What?" the other's asked, suddenly worried.

Ruby bounced around the office, waiting for the phone call.

"Come on come on come on." She muttered, staring at the phone.

Hedy watched her from the doorway.

"You're completely buzzed on sugar." She sighed.

"Yup!" she giggled as the call started.

"Ah...hello, hello!"

"HELLO!" Ruby answered back enthusiastically.

"Uh, see, I told you your first night wouldn't be a problem. You're a natural!" 'Steve' said.

"Aww. Thank you!" Ruby giggled, still bouncing in place.

"Uh, by now I'm sure you've noticed the older models sitting in the back room."

Now she froze.

"Uh, those are from the previous location. We just use them for parts now."

A low growl started in her throat, making Hedy worry.

"The idea at first was to repair them...uh, they even started retrofitting them with some of the newer technology, but they were just so ugly, you know?"

Ruby let out some indescribable screech and leapt forward to grab the phone but Hedy had come closer and grabbed her wrist.

"It's a recording!" she tried to calm the night guard down.

Ruby growled something but didn't try and break the phone again.

"The smell...uh, so the company decided to go in a whole new direction and make them super kid-friendly. Uh, those older ones shouldn't be able to walk around, but if they do, the whole Freddy head trick should work on them too, so, whatever."

"Whatever? Whatever?! Stupid people…I'm not talking to you anymore Steve!" she yelled, completely forgetting about her plan to ask about Hedy's 'Uncle Scott'.

"Uh...heh...I love those old characters. Did you ever see Foxy the pirate?"

She froze again before settling back. "Okay…You're forgiven."

"Oh wait, hold on...oh yeah, Foxy. Uh, hey listen, that one was always a bit twitchy, uh...I'm not sure the Freddy head trick will work on Foxy, uh. If for some reason he activates during the night and you see him standing at the far end of the hall, just flash your light at him from time to time. Those older models would always get disoriented with bright lights. It would cause a system restart, or something. Uh, come to think of it, you might want to try that on any room where something undesirable might be. It might hold them in place for a few seconds. That glitch might be in some of the newer models too."

Ruby stared at the phone suspiciously. "No…I'm not doing that to them. That's just mean."

"One more thing - don't forget the music box. I'll be honest, I never liked that puppet thing."

"Me too!" Ruby gasped, throwing her arms up, excited again.

"It was always...thinking, and it can go anywhere...I don't think a Freddy mask will fool it, so just don't forget the music box. Anyway, I'm sure it won't be a problem. Uh, have a good night, and talk to you tomorrow."

"Bye Steve." Ruby waved at the phone before she bolted past Hedy, energy levels too high to let her stay in place.

She had something special planned…

So…

Ruby decided to finally have her pirate night.

She spent the entire night running around in a pirate hat and eye patch waving her sword around. She had also modified a water pistol to shoot a lot more water.

A LOT more water…

"Would you STOP that?!" Toy Bonnie shrieked as she locked Toy Chica's joints up again.

Ruby just laughed hysterically, at the peak of her sugar high.

"Not stopping for anything ya landlubber!" she yelled back and swung the sword dangerously close to him. It was sharpened to a dangerous edge as they had discovered after she had sliced through a table so they were making sure to avoid it.

"Come on! Come at me Rabbit!" she yelled at him. "This is what you get when you threaten mutiny!"

Hedy was also in the room, head in her hands as she listened to the insanity that was this conversation.

"Ruby! Stop playing around!" she yelled.

Ruby just laughed louder and sprayed Toy Bonnie full in the face with her water gun.

"No one's going to get the jump on Captain Ruby!" she giggled, running out the room to find more victims.

Hedy massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Goldy materialised above her.

"This is hilarious." She giggled.

"Well at least someone is enjoying this." Hedy sighed. "She could seriously hurt them…"

She looked worried, Ruby didn't seem to be taking safety into consideration.

Goldy waved her off.

"Don't worry so much. Although I don't know why you worry about them..." Goldy muttered the last bit.

Hedy looked at her curiously. "From that bitterness, am I correct in assuming that you were here back when the Toys were here?

An explosion went off in another room followed by a wordless scream of rage.

"Yeah." Goldy said softly before eyeing the mechanic. "I was here when you were here too. And your brother."

Hedy stiffened but Goldy ignored it, too caught up in whatever memories she was thinking about.

"I don't know why you're back, I just wouldn't suggest trying to hurt my friends. They've been through enough." She looked back at the girl for a moment before disappearing.

Hedy stared at the empty air for a moment. She sighed and rubbed her face.

"Geez…So someone recognised me?" she whispered.

Ruby ended up in a really interesting position.

This position was also driving the Toys mad since they couldn't reach her.

She had forgotten to wind the music box in her sugar rush so The Puppet got out. The moment she saw him she made a very interesting squeak-scream sound and hit him with Betty. And then again. And again.

Eventually one of the Toys tried to grab her and she swung wildly at them connecting solidly.

That was why Hedy was repairing Toy Chica's jaw at the moment, muttering to herself.

Ruby, meanwhile, was halfway up the mast of Foxy's ship.

The gang had come out at some point at Goldy's insistence and were now trying really hard not to laugh.

At least Freddy and Chica were. The other three were laughing freely.

"Lass…" Foxy eventually managed while Toy Bonnie, Toy Freddy and The Puppet prowled around the base of the ship. "What…are you…doing up there?"

She grinned at him, munching on a chocolate bar.

"The freaky clown, Captain. The sea monster of the pizzeria!" She swung wildly around her unstable perch.

This, of course, made them laugh harder.

"I see…" he chuckled. "Just don't fall off again."

She grinned down at them, waving her sword around.

"A Captain fall off her own ship?" she looked aghast. "Never!"

She swung a full 360 degrees around the mast, giggling again.

"Although this is your ship." She added thoughtfully.

"Sugar highs…" Freddy sighed although he was also finding it amusing.

In between his heart stopping every time she swung around.

"This isn't as bad as last time." Bonnie pointed out. "At least she's staying in one place this time."

Hedy looked over at them.

"This has happened before?"

Freddy was the only one to look at her. "Yes. She pulled a day shift so she survived off of sugar and caffeine."

Ruby stopped her swinging and aimed her water gun at Toy Bonnie while they were talking. He screamed furiously at her when he could move again.

"What if you damage them?" Hedy asked heatedly.

Ruby shrugged. "My 'bots handled a full night of water balloons and water guns with no problem. What happened to new and improved?"

Her voice took on a mocking tone which just infuriated them more.

She then decided to throw a glitter bomb with terrifying accuracy, hitting The Puppet dead on.

"Hmmm…Glitter does not help with scary clown impression. I'm staying up here." She hugged the mast comically.

Goldy appeared next her suddenly.

"Wow…Good shot." She nodded in appreciation, looking at the distance the glitter bomb had covered.

"Hey!" Toy Bonnie yelled. "You can't interfere!"

"I'm not." Goldy rolled her eyes, bringing out a video camera. "I'm getting a better angle."

Ruby laughed again and brought a new weapon out of her bag while they yelled indignantly at the ghost bear.

"Oh dear." Chica murmured at the sight of the weapon and the gang took a good few steps back.

"What?" the Puppet snapped suspiciously.

"Chocolate bomb!" Ruby crowed, dropping the weapon.

"Oh no." Hedy froze, realising that she was also in the blast radius.

Chocolate covered everything.

The gang had taken shelter so they had avoided most of it. The Toys were covered in chocolate and so was Hedy. From head to toe.

"Hmmmm." Ruby mused, looking over the destruction. "Needs a little more oomph."

"What is wrong with you?!" Toy Freddy yelled up at her, trying to wipe the chocolate off.

"I need to have another food night." The night guard answered dreamily. "But the things weren't ready yet so this is a sneak peek of the fun."

Hedy threw a glare up at her while Ruby snickered.

Suddenly she lost her balance and slipped off the mast. The gang cried out in worry as she hit the floor. She was up quickly though, already laughing.
"Chocolate broke my fall!" she yelled as she raced out of the room, Toys hot on her heels.

Hedy wiped her face.

"Great." She muttered.

"You've got to admit that it's a good prank." Goldy pointed out from above her.

"It's a waste of time. And chocolate." She answered. "If she's that talented at inventing shouldn't she use it for something else?"

The others didn't answer her, mostly because they were still laughing.

The shift finally ended and Ruby collapsed in the middle of the dining room.

"I'm tired." She whined.

Her back was covered in chocolate and she had flipped the eye patch up after an unfortunate depth perception accident.

The Toys looked far worse though. Covered in chocolate they had been alternatively hit with water and glitter throughout the night.

I'm going to kill her." Toy Chica growled.

Toy Bonnie was still stuck in the air vent entrance so he couldn't add to the complaints. (Long story that could be explained by his recklessness and Ruby's goading.)

Toy Freddy and Hedy were trying to get him out while The Puppet was hiding in his box. BB hadn't been seen all night.

"Going to take a nap lass?" Foxy asked in amusement.

She cracked an eye open to look at him.

"Ugh…I'm on breakfast duty." She just realised. "I've got to get back home before everyone's up."
She pushed herself up and groaned. "That was a good work out actually. Thanks!"

She threw a cheeky grin over at the Toys who growled. Toy Bonnie was finally out, hands clenching and unclenching as he glared at her.

"Sorry about the mess in the Cove Foxy." She apologised to him.

He waved her off. "Cleaners are used to it by now."

She smirked at that. "I am a terrible influence on you all."
"Ah you figured it out at last." Freddy chuckled. "Take care on your walk home."

She waved goodbye while Hedy frowned. She walked home? She was still a minor so why did she walk home by herself?

"Oh, by the way."Chica looked around in confusion. "Where's Balloon Boy?"

Everyone looked around, realising that he had been absent all night.

"Oh, him." Ruby looked back at them with an evil grin. "Wonder if you can find him?"
