CHAPTER 6
"Not again!" Chica sighed, looking at the bread on the counter that had a few small bites out of it.
"What's up Chica?" Freddy asked the disgruntled chicken. She looked at her brother, holding the loaf in her hands.
"This is the third loaf of bread that has been bitten into. And it wasn't Bonnie. He always eats the whole loaf, eve if he isn't supposed to. He would never just take a few small nibbles and then leave it."
"So what was it?" Freddy asked, though he suspected he already knew.
"I think we have a rat." Chica said, confirming Freddy's suspicions.
"Then we need to get rid of it. Let's get Bonnie and Foxy."
It had been five days since the first night guard had been at the pizzeria, and no new night guard had been hired yet. The animatronics had all relaxed quite a bit, and currently Bonnie and Foxy were having a chess war. War because almost every time someone lost, there would be a battle as to if the win had been legit. It was silly, but Foxy and Bonnie had fun with it. Sometimes they even got creative with it. At the moment, Foxy had just gotten Bonnie into checkmate and was pointing one of the foam swords from Pirates Cove at Bonnie, telling him to walk the plank.
"Hey guys!" Chica called.
"HAR! I win again!" Foxy cried. "What be the problem, Lass?"
"We got a situation, we need your guys' help." Chica said.
"What's up, Chica?" Bonnie asked, happy the conversation had freed him from the humiliation of loosing to Foxy yet again.
"There's a rat in this establishment, and it's slowly eating my kitchen away!" Chica said. Bonnie and Foxy looked at each other. They could see how hard Chica was trying to keep her composure. She always went nuts if anything or anyone messed up with her kitchen, or the contents inside.
"We gotta catch it then!" Bonnie exclaimed.
"Sound's like it be an adventure." Foxy smiled. Chica smiled, glad to have the help of her friends.
"But where did Freddy go?" Foxy asked. They all looked around when they saw that Freddy had left the room. But he came back mere moments later, and the sight of him made everyone burst out in laughter. Freddy was dressed up in the entire bee catching get-up. It wasn't every day you saw a robotic bear wearing a big hat, yellow onesie, and the thickest gloves he could find, as well as humongous boots.
"Where did you find that?!" Chica asked, hardly able to get the question out thanks to her laughter interrupting.
"Just some things I found around. I hate rats, no way am I touching one myself." Freddy said simply. They finally quieted down, and looked for equipment to catch the intruder.
"Here are some traps I found!" Chica exclaimed, carrying three huge boxes full of traps.
"Some?" Foxy stared. Soon the four animatronics had spread rat traps all through out the building. Just as Bonnie was crawling on the floor setting the last trap, a small mouse ran right past his nose.
"Mouse!" Bonnie exclaimed. He was so surprised, he fell over, right into a bunch of the traps he had just set. Soon, he was covered in them. Freddy, who had been nearby, couldn't help but laugh at the poor bunny. Bonnie threw Freddy a glare.
"Hey, at least we're robots." Freddy said. Bonnie sighed, and started to pick the traps off of himself while the mouse found mischief somewhere else.
"Still hurts." Bonnie muttered.
Foxy and Chica were in the kitchen. Chica had gone full strategist mode. She was determined to protect her kitchen at all costs. Traps were everywhere, as well as many of her own devises to catch the little intruder. She was putting together the most ridiculous traps she could possibly think of.
"Gee, lass. Bonnie would be proud of you if he saw all this." Foxy said. Just then, Bonnie stepped inside the door, setting off about five traps Chica had set. In an instant Bonnie was covered in water and flour with pink feathers sticking to him. Chica burst out laughing.
"You look more like a chicken than me!" Chica managed out through her hysterical fit. Foxy realized that this was probably meant for the bunny, likely as payback for all the times he had stolen food from her kitchen. And it was true, that the bunny almost did look like a chicken. Foxy had to work hard to keep his own composure and not laugh himself. Bonnie, on the other hand, looked absolutely livid, but did his best to keep himself together.
"Maybe this is a little overboard?" Freddy asked, looking in on the situation, a smile on his face. But he didn't enter the kitchen. Which was smart of him.
"I think Freddy is right. How are we gonna get out of 'ere lass?" Foxy asked the chicken who was beside him. She suddenly realized that she had literally trapped themselves inside a maze of traps. Bonnie wished he could have a picture of her facial expression at that moment.
"Uhh…" She was at a complete loss for words. Then the mouse ran by Freddy's feet, making him jump, screeching in fright. He jumped into the kitchen, setting off almost every trap in the kitchen. When finally he was able to stop moving, he was a sticky disaster mess. The kitchen was totally destroyed. Everyone was so concerned with the state of Freddy and the kitchen, that no one even noticed that the mouse had been caught in the last remaining trap in all the mess.
Freddy was lucky he had been wearing all that he had, because most of the mess was able to be cleaned up with the removal of the suit. The kitchen was another matter. It wasn't until they really started cleaning it all up that the mouse was found. It was Bonnie that had found it, and he decided to play one last trick with it that night. Chica was working hard to clean her precious kitchen and Freddy was picking up the traps that were all ever the pizzeria. Foxy was helping Freddy. Bonnie decided that since Foxy was the only one who seemed to have come out of the whole ordeal unscathed, he would change that.
He snuck up behind Foxy quietly, so he didn't notice. Chica and Freddy noticed, and were watching it all from a distance. Freddy felt he should probably stop Bonnie, but he was curious as to what would happen. Bonnie placed the mouse on Foxy,s head, tying it to one of Foxy's ears, then quickly backing up.
"Hey Foxy!" Bonnie called. Foxy's head jerked up, and in doing so, caused the mouse to fall off his head, right into Foxy's face. Foxy was completely taken by surprise. He screeched his animatronic screech, and jumped back. Right into the last of the mouse traps. They snapped on, and Foxy ended up flat on his back on the floor, breathing hard while his friends laughed. Foxy started to laugh as well when he realized what just what happened and the silly was he had reacted.
"Best prepare ye'self Bonnie. I'll get you back for this." Foxy said with a menacing smile towards Bonnie, then Freddy helped him get the remaining traps off of him. Bonnie just laughed. He would always be the prank master.
