Chapter 7: The New Days (A/N): Here's chapter 7 y'all! :)
Cameron woke up that morning well refreshed, and had gotten into another outfit because he needed to wash his uniform again. When he went downstairs, Cameron saw that his mom was making them breakfast, while Melanie was dressed in her Pity Party outfit, sitting down and on her phone. Cameron's mom noticed that he came downstairs.
"Hey sweetie!" Cameron's mom smiled at him.
"Hey mom." Cameron smiled back at her, and that's when Melanie looked up and smiled at Cameron.
"Hey." Melanie said happily.
"Hey." Cameron smiled.
Cameron had put his uniform in the wash for a quicker time because in the afternoon, they'll have to go to the pizzeria for the performance. It was already 9:30 in the morning, so they had to get ready for the pizzeria soon. Cameron sat down at his place at his table, and that's when his mom had set down his and Melanie's plate of chocolate ship pancakes.
"Thanks Mrs. Kenny." Melanie smiled at her, and poured her syrup onto her pancakes.
"You're totally welcome." Mrs. Kenny said happily.
After Melanie drowned her pancakes in the syrup, Cameron did the same thing with his pancakes, and Melanie giggled. Cameron giggled, too. Mrs. Kenny just shook her head at them, and smiled at them being little kids. After cleaning their places, Cameron and Melanie went to go get ready, and Cameron put his uniform into the dryer because they were about to leave for the pizzeria. Cameron went into the shower, so he could be clean for when they leave. Once Cameron was out of the shower, Melanie decided to shower, too. While she was in the shower, Cameron had gotten dressed into his uniform that his mom had brought upstairs from the dryer. Once Melanie was out of the shower and dressed, the pair went downstairs, and out to Cameron's car and got into it.
"I'm so excited to play our new song!" Melanie smiled really happily.
"Yea, I wonder how it'll turn out." Cameron smiled back at her.
"Yea." Melanie agreed happily.
When the two came into the parking lot, there were lots of families already there! It was only 11:30 am, they had to perform at 12:30 pm. Cameron and Melanie had to push through the line because they needed to be in there really soon. People were going to protest at them, but then they realized that Melanie was there. The people let the two go past them. The pair went to the backstage to talk to Chica and Freddy about the performance.
"I'm getting really nervous." Melanie said nervously.
"Don't be, we're all right here with you." Freddy smiled at her.
"Yea." Melanie smiled back.
"I hope it goes well." Cameron said happily towards the three performers.
"Yea, me too." Melanie smiled, while the other two just nodded in agreement.
They heard that Freddy's was opening, and kids running around while jumping for joy.
"Well, we gotta go perform, and you'll be joining us soon, Melanie." Freddy smiled, as he and Chica went onto the stage.
"Yup." Melanie beamed happily.
Cameron and Melanie went into Pirate's Cove to see what Foxy was up to. While they were heading over to Foxy, the pair was stopped by Melanie feeling a tug on her dress. She looked down, and saw it was a little boy and a girl.
"Hey little ones, how is your day going at Freddy's?" Melanie asked the two kids.
"Good!" the two kids said really cutely.
Melanie and Cameron awed at them together.
"What's your names?" Cameron asked the two kids.
"My name is Hunter." the boy said shyly.
"Mine is Kira." the girl smiled confidently.
"Well nice to meet you! I'm Melanie Martinez, and this is Cameron!" Melanie smiled, while Cameron just waved.
"You too!" Kira smiled, and pulled Hunter along with her to go play with their friends.
"They're so cute." Melanie watched with a smile at the two kids running around and having fun.
"I know right!" Cameron agreed happily.
The pair continued on their way to Foxy to see what he was doing with his crew. They were listening to Foxy telling them a story about one of his adventures as a pirate. Foxy noticed them, and just smiled and waved at them. Cameron and Melanie listened to the story, and they thought it was very intriguing. Freddy came over to the both of them, and tapped Melanie on the shoulder.
"Melanie, it's time for us to perform the song." Freddy said.
"Ok." Melanie smiled.
She, and Cameron, stood up, and the three of them walked to the stage area. Melanie stood behind the audience because once they announce her name, she was going to walk down the aisle. Freddy and Chica took their places on stage, while Bonnie walked off of the stage and sat with some of the kids. Some of the kids either sat at Bonnie's feet, or sat in his lap and he didn't mind at all. The people from Pirate's Cove were coming out from Foxy's area, and sitting near the stage because Foxy's story was over. Foxy sat with some other kids, too. Cameron noticed that Kira was sitting in Foxy's lap, while Hunter was sitting in Bonnie's lap with two other children. Then, the speakers started talking.
"Good Luck!" Cameron smiled at Melanie.
"Thanks." Melanie smiled back, and Cameron went to go sit with the others.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, the famous Melanie Martinez!" the speakers announced.
Melanie quickly walked down the aisle, while everyone was cheering for her. She smiled and waved to the audience while walking to the stage. Once she was in front of the microphone onstage, the audience became more quiet. She spoke to the audience because she was excited to be there.
"Hey! I'm so excited to be here with you all today! It was such a pleasure to work with these two on a new song, and I hope you like it! It's called, Robots." Melanie smiled at the audience.
Once she was done with her introduction, the beat started playing and Melanie started singing.
Melanie: "You think we're just like you, but no we are just more than what you think. We're not smart, we're creative. We're not dumb, we're lovable. We don't want to hide what you like to get rid of, and we're going to show it to you right nowwwww!"
When it had gotten to the chorus, everyone in the first couple of rows got up, and started dancing in place because of the groovy beat.
"We like to be original, one of a kind. Nobody can replace us, and that'll always be a fact. We're not robots of society, there's more on the inside! We're not robots of society, there's more on the inside!"
Chica: "We're never going to be like you, we're always more than what you think. We like to think differently than you and the mainstream, and we don't ever be fake. We don't want to hide what you like to get rid of, and we're going to show it to you right nowwwww!"
After the second verse, everyone in the audience this time were up, and dancing.
Melanie and Chica: "We like to be original, one of a kind. Nobody can replace us, and that'll always be a fact. We're not robots of society, there's more on the inside! We're not robots of society, there's more on the inside!"
Freddy: "Aye, we're not going to be robots of society, so you better think differently. There's more on the inside and put that into your head. If not we'll force it into your head. None of us can be replaced, and we can't be forced into a tight space. We're not smart, we're creative. We're not dumb, we're lovable. We will never be in the mainstream. Yea."
Melanie and Chica: "We like to be original, one of a kind. Nobody can replace us, and that'll always be a fact. We're not robots of society, there's more on the inside! We're not robots of society, there's more on the inside!"
Once the song was over, everyone cheered and clapped, while the three performers bowed and walked off of the stage. Most of the kids, including Hunter and Kira, ran up to Melanie and gave out hugs to her one by one. The last two to her hug her were Hunter and Melanie.
"You were awesome!" Kira exclaimed while hugging Melanie.
"Why thank you Kira." Melanie smiled at her.
"Your welcome." Kira smiled cutely, and walked away.
"You're my idol, Melanie." Hunter said happily, but quietly while giving his hug.
"Aw thanks Hunter!" Melanie smiled at him.
"Your welcome." Hunter replied, and followed after Kira.
Cameron and Foxy walked over to Melanie, and the three of them walked backstage because everyone would think that Foxy hugging Melanie would be weird.
"Ye were wonderful, lass!" Foxy exclaimed so happily, while hugging Melanie.
"Why thank you Foxy." Melanie smiled at Foxy, and gave him another kiss on his cheek.
Foxy blushed really hard, and Melanie giggled at him.
"I-I have a question for ye, lass." Foxy stuttered nervously.
"What is it?" Melanie asked curiously.
"Ye want to be me girlfriend?" Foxy blushed madly.
"Yes! Of course!" Melanie replied really happily.
Foxy and Melanie hugged each other, while Cameron awed and clapped. When the two let go, the three of them walked back into the dining area. Foxy had to go back to Pirate's Cove because he had to put on another performance. Cameron noticed that the construction workers were clearing all of their tools and equipment from the new area, so that meant it was going to open tomorrow! Cameron was both excited and nervous at the same time because he couldn't wait for that area to open. Cameron went to go ask Goldie about the Toys. He found Goldie in the storage room, and of course, Goldie was really happy to see him.
"Hey babe!" Goldie smiled at Cameron while hugging him.
"Hey cutie." Cameron giggled, and gave him a kiss.
"How'd Melanie's performance go?" Goldie asked.
"Really well." Cameron replied happily.
"That's good!" Goldie smiled.
"Yea. I have a question." Cameron said.
"What is it?" Goldie questioned Cameron curiously.
"Can you tell me some things about the Toys?" Cameron asked.
Goldie's smile faded a little, and Cameron noticed.
"What's wrong?" Cameron asked, concerned.
"Nothing. The Toys, they replaced the ones out there back in 1987. They also were made up of parts from the originals and me." Goldie told Cameron.
Cameron gasped at the last part of Goldie's explanation, and he gave Goldie a hug because he felt sorry for him.
"We were still active, but we couldn't speak, so we used sign language between us originals. The Toys didn't know about us not speaking, so they thought we were being rude to them." Goldie finished explaining after Cameron had let go.
The older animatronics woke up in the Parts & Services room, confused and scared. They noticed that parts of themselves were missing! They tried speaking to each other, but nothing came out of their voice boxes! The animatronics decided to use sign language between them. After learning sign language, they decided to go out to the show stage area.
"Do you guys want to go out into the show area?" Freddy asked the others in sign language.
The others just nodded in their responses. So, the five of them went into the show stage area, and saw the Toys! When the Toys saw them, they were frightened. Toy Bonnie scurried of to hide in a corner, while Toy Chica just shrieked in fear. The originals were confused on why they were like this, and tried using sign language by asking to be their friends, but Toy Freddy interpreted it the wrong way. Toy Freddy started pushing Freddy back towards the Parts & Services room, and Foxy tried stopping him by hitting him off of Freddy. Before he could hit Toy Freddy again, Foxy was stopped by Freddy grabbing his arm, and shaking his head. Foxy lowered his hook, and the originals walked with their heads down back into Parts & Services. Freddy looked back down the hallway, before going back in, and sighed. He wished them and the Toys could've been friends.
When Goldie was finished telling the story of how both sides met, Cameron looked like he was about to cry. Goldie held and hugged him until Cameron had calmed down. Cameron hugged and kissed his animatronic boyfriend goodbye, and walked back to the dining area. That's when Melanie came up to Cameron.
"Hey Cameron?" Melanie asked him.
"Yea?" Cameron questioned.
"Can I borrow your car for a little bit?" Melanie asked Cameron.
"Sure." Cameron smiled at her.
Cameron gave Melanie the keys, and watched her drive away with his car. He decided to go see what everyone was up to. It was 6 pm, and the pizzeria is only open for four more hours. Mr. Hawthorn decided to give the public a sneak peek of the new area, and people were intrigued of this new area. People of all ages, including the animatronics and Cameron, walked into the new area. Even though the Toys were shut down, everyone thought it was a cool place and couldn't wait for it to open tomorrow. When it was 7 pm, Mr. Hawthorn told everyone that they had to go back into the other area. Some people groaned, but they did what they were told to do. The original animatronics went back to their normal routine, and tried to ignore the new area. Melanie came back with three Caramel and Chocolate Chip Frappes, they were mixed together, for Cameron, Goldie and her. Cameron went into the storage room to give Goldie his, and Goldie was happy to get one. Cameron went back out to the pizzeria, after giving kisses to his boyfriend, and went to Melanie who was also drinking her Frappe.
"I'm guessing you're going to get some for the others when the pizzeria closes for the night?" Cameron asked Melanie.
"Yup." Melanie smiled after taking a sip.
Mr. Hawthorn walked up to Cameron to ask him a question.
"Hey boss, what is it?" Cameron asked his boss curiously.
"Do you mind turning on the Toys tonight?" Mr. Hawthorn asked him.
"Sure." Cameron smiled at his boss.
"Thanks." Mr. Hawthorn smiled back.
Before Cameron had the chance to respond, his boss quickly walked away from him.
"Rude." Cameron muttered, while Melanie just laughed at his comment about his boss.
Up until it was time for the families to leave, everyone was just having a great time hanging out, dancing, singing, and telling stories. When it was time to go, a woman who was with Kira and Hunter came up to Cameron.
"Hey. I have an offer for you." the woman began.
"What is it?" Cameron asked curiously.
"Since Hunter and Kira like you, would you like to babysit them on Friday nights?" the woman asked Cameron.
"Yea! Sure." Cameron smiled.
"Ok. I'm Mrs. Freeman." the woman said happily, while giving Cameron a piece of paper with their address and phone number.
"I'm Cameron." Cameron said with a smile, while taking the piece of paper.
"See you in a couple of days!" Mrs. Freeman exclaimed while being dragged away by her kids.
"See ya!" Cameron shouted at Mrs. Freeman while waving.
When the families had all left, Melanie went to go get Frappes for the other four animatronics. While she was gone, Cameron had gathered the animatronics around him.
"Ok so, my boss told me I had to turn on the Toys tonight." Cameron explained.
"Oh. We'll help ye lad, just in case things get bad." Foxy said.
"Ok, thanks." Cameron smiled.
"Anytime, babe." Goldie smiled and hugged Cameron.
When Goldie had let go, the six of them walked into the new area. The new area had more arcade games, a kitchen, Kid's Cove, a mini carousel, a prize corner with a big present next to it, and the Toys. Cameron walked over to the four Toys to turn them on, and when he did turn them on, Cameron and the original animatronics noticed that the Toys had jet black eyes with a white dot in the middle of them! Toy Chica turned to Cameron, looked at him with a creepy grin, and pounced at Cameron! Goldie teleported him out of the way just in time.
"What's going on?" Cameron asked really scared.
"I don't know!" Bonnie replied scared as well.
"We've got to tur-" Freddy began, but the six of them noticed that the Toys were gone!
"Oh my gosh." Cameron rolled his eyes.
"Like I was going to say, we have to turn them off." Freddy exclaimed.
The others nodded in agreement, and they split up to go look for the Toys. They didn't know that they were being watched by the Marionette from his box. Cameron and Goldie were together, when Goldie asked him a question.
"Have you ever heard imprinting? Like you know, someone imprinting baby ducks that the babies think that that person is their mother?" Goldie asked Cameron.
"Yea." Cameron replied.
"You could imprint the Toys onto you, so then they can be like us." Goldie suggested.
"That's a great idea!" Cameron smiled and gave Goldie a hug.
Then they heard Melanie scream! The two of them rushed over to her voice to see her being chased by Toy Foxy! It was kind of funny because she was still holding the tray of Frappes, but then Cameron crept up behind Toy Foxy, and quickly turned off her. Toy Foxy just fell to the floor with her eyes closed, and Cameron had caught her just in time. Melanie set down the tray, and then the three of them carried Toy Foxy to the stage. They saw Freddy and Foxy carry Toy Freddy to the stage, while putting Toy Foxy on the stage. Then, they saw Bonnie and Chica carrying Toy Chica to the stage. After they had set down Toy Chica, the group was questioning about where Toy Bonnie was.
"Do any of you know where Toy Bonnie went?" Cameron asked the group, and they shook their heads side to side.
Cameron wandered all over the new area of the pizzeria, and when he went over to the arcade, he saw two bright blue bunny ears! Cameron crept over to the animatronic who was cowering in the corner and shaking with fear. When Cameron was in front of it, Toy Bonnie looked up at him with wide eyes.
"Hey. I'm not here to hurt you." Cameron said soothingly to the scared animatronic.
Toy Bonnie just stared at Cameron with silence, while Cameron was creeping towards him.
"Just let down your guard, I'm not going to hurt you." Cameron reassured the light blue animatronic.
Then, Melanie came into the room, and when she saw Toy Bonnie being scared in the corner, she started helping Cameron out.
"We are good people, we don't want to hurt you. We want to help you." Melanie was trying to ease the animatronic's mind.
Finally, Toy Bonnie let his guard down, but only answered with silence. Melanie and Cameron both gave Toy Bonnie a hug, and the animatronic actually felt the hug! He hugged the two humans back. Toy Bonnie liked this feeling of happiness, and his eyes turned back into his pearly emerald eyes. When the trio went back to the others, Toy Bonnie held tight onto Cameron because he was too scared to let go. Melanie thought it was cute.
"I'm trying to imprint the Toys onto me." Cameron explained.
"But still, it's so cute!" Melanie smiled, while Toy Bonnie looked around really nervously.
When they finally got to the others, Toy Bonnie hid behind Cameron with fear. Chica awed at it, while Bonnie just smirked at the light blue animatronic. Goldie just smiled because that Cameron actually started imprinting on Toy Bonnie. Freddy was just confused.
"I'm trying to imprint the Toys one by one onto me." Cameron explained to the original animatronics.
"Ohhhh. I get it now." Freddy smiled, finally understanding the situation.
Everyone just laughed at Freddy's remark, while Toy Bonnie was still hiding behind Cameron still nervous.
Cameron and Melanie decided to leave early and bring Toy Bonnie with them because the light blue animatronic started crying when Cameron said they had to go.
"How are we going to explain this to Mr. Hawthorn?" Bonnie asked Cameron.
"I'll talk to him." Cameron reassured everyone else.
"Make sure you guys on your best behavior, ok?" Melanie said.
"Ok." The five animatronics replied.
Cameron kissed Goldie goodbye, and he, Melanie, and Toy Bonnie had gotten into Cameron's car. Toy Bonnie had lied down in the backseat, and they headed home. The teo humans heard the light blue animatronic whimpering in the back of the car.
"Hey, you're going to be ok." Melanie reassured Toy Bonnie, and gave him a smile.
"O-Ok." Toy Bonnie stuttered quietly.
Cameron swerved because he was surprised that Toy Bonnie could speak. Toy Bonnie started crying because of the sudden movement, and Cameron stopped the car on the side of the road. Melanie got into the back, and started cuddling the scared animatronic. They continued their journey to Cameron's house, and when they had gotten there, Melanie helped Toy Bonnie out of the car. The light blue animatronic held onto Cameron's arm again, while walking into the house, and Melanie just giggled. The two of them brought Toy Bonnie up to his room, and made him a little bed out of extra pillows and blankets.
"This is where you'll be sleeping tonight, ok?" Cameron smiled.
"O-Ok." Toy Bonnie said shyly.
Then, the three of them went to sleep, but Toy Bonnie was still awake because he was kind of scared of this new surrounding he was in. He looked over at Cameron sleeping in his bed, and crawled into Cameron's bed. Toy Bonnie cuddled into Cameron, and fell asleep because he was safe next to the one who is protecting him. Cameron just looked at the sleeping Toy Bonnie that was next to him, and just smiled at the animatronic. Cameron, then, fell asleep pretty quickly.
(A/N): Sorry for it being a longer chapter, and a long wait! How'd y'all like it? I thought it was a good one. How will the other imprinting processes will go? Will the grand opening of the new area be delayed of what happened? If you want these answers, please stay tuned for another chapter of The Fazbear Times! As always, redben346 out! :)
