It had been a few hours since Mike left work. Chica was in the dining area with Foxy and Freddy. Her eyes were filled with hatred. " Why would you do something like that? " she asked Foxy and Freddy. " I-I didn't know what I was doin'. Rage took over, I suppose. " said Foxy. Freddy looked at Chica. " I told you I wanted to leave a lasting impression. I don't think he'll be coming back here anytime soon. " said Freddy. " Thanks to you two, I've lost Bonnie AND Mike. " said Chica. " I thought you didn't like Mike. " said a voice behind her. Chica knew that voice. She turned around. A yellow bear was sitting on a dining table.
" What the hell happened in here, Schmidt? " yelled Mike's boss. A repair crew was standing around Bonnie's body. " F-Foxy attacked me, sir. Bonnie tried to stop him. " replied Mike. Mike's boss raised his eyebrows. " Is that so? Seems like you've developed quite a relationship with these characters. " he said. Mike still felt terrible. " Everthing's going to be fine, son. We'll have him repaired. Better than ever! " said Mike's boss. Mike couldn't believe his ears. " Really? Thank you so much! " said Mike. He was overwhelmed by happiness.
It had been a few days since the repair crew took Bonnie. As Mike entered the pizzeria for yet another night, he kept thinking about Bonnie. Chica heard him enter his office. She walked down the hallway. Mike was sitting in his chair, looking at his monitor. He was smiling. Chica walked in and sat next to him. Mike's smile quickly faded. " What do you want? " he asked. Chica looked guilty. " I'm sorry about what I said, Mike. I didn't mean it. " she said. Mike's smile came back. " It's okay, Chica. I have something to tell you. " he said. " What? " she asked. " Bonnie is being repaired. He'll be here soon. " he said. Chica was excited. " Really? " she asked. " Yes. They took part of his face to repair his recognition system. Everything else is new. " said Mike. Mike checked the right hallway cam. Freddy was standing outside the door. Mike felt terrible memories rushing back. Chica saw the monitor. " Don't worry, Mike. Don't open the door, and you'll be fine. " she said. Suddenly, the air was filled with the sound of machinery. A truck had pulled up outside. Bonnie was back.
Mike opened the right door. Freddy was waiting for him. " Hey- " Mike cut Freddy's sentence. " No, just no. Not now. " said Mike. Chica followed Mike to the back of the restaurant. A man with a clipboard was waiting. " Are you Mike Shmidt? " asked the man. " Yes. " replied Mike. " You're little buddy is back. Sign here. " said the man. Mike signed the paper and waited for the man to unlatch the back of the truck. Chica was waiting in the doorway of the pizzeria. The back of the truck opened. A large container was sitting on a mini forklift. The mini forklift lowered the container to the ground. The man said goodbye, closed the truck, and drove away. Mike pushed the container into the restaurant. It was very heavy. Chica stared at the container in awe. Mike was happy. Scared, too.
Freddy and Foxy stared at the container, but they were wary of Mike and Chica. Mike opened the container. Inside, there was an animatronic. It was pale blue, with a bowtie. Its face was cute with freckles and sparkly green eyes. It stepped out of the container. It was Bonnie. Chica, Freddy, and Foxy stepped back. Mike however, stepped forward. Bonnie looked at Mike. " B-Bonnie? It's me. Mike. Remember? " asked Mike. Bonnie stepped forward. They were staring at each other. Bonnie grabbed Mike by the shoulders. Mike was worried. " Yes. I remember. " said Bonnie. He was smiling. Mike's eyes felt watery. " I'm so sorry. This wouldn't of happened if I didn't provoke Foxy. I'm sorry. " said Mike. Bonnie looked at Foxy, then back at Mike " Mike, you shouldn't feel remorse. I chose to help. It's my fault. " said Bonnie. Mike turned his back. " And Foxy. " he said. Foxy and Freddy stepped up. " You're really persistent, Bonnie. Still trying to help this kid. It's a shame " said Freddy. Bonnie straightened his bowtie. " I'm helping him because he's my friend. One of only two friends I have. " said Bonnie. He looked at Chica and Mike. Chica and Mike looked at each other. Foxy's hook was still soaked in oil. " Listen, lad. You know t'was an accident. I-I- " Bonnie cut him off. " I don't wanna hear it. Save the apologies. I could have been put out of order. Died, basically. " said Bonnie. Chica saw a flash of yellow behind her. " Wouldn't be the first time you died. " said a voice. Everyone turned around. A slumped, yellow bear was sitting on the table. The same as before.
" Oh no. " said Freddy. Mike was suspicious. " Wouldn't be the first time you died? What do you mean? " asked Mike. " Mike, I can explain. " said Chica. " No need to, Miss Chica. I'll do it. " said the yellow bear. " These jokers have been dead for a loooong time. You've been talking to a bunch of haunted dolls. " Mike looked at everyone. They stepped back. " What do you mean? How can they be dead? They're animatronics! " said Mike. The yellow bear laughed. " Haven't you heard the stories? " said the yellow bear. Mike HAD heard the stories. He knew now. Everyone was staring at Mike. " I know. You guys were those kids. " he said. Freddy spoke up. Mike looked at him. " Schmidt, listen. We've lost all memory of that. This is who we are now. " said Freddy. Mike couldn't believe it. " You were murdered, and now you don't care? That's awful! " he said. " Wait. The newspaper said there were five children. Who is the fifth one? " said Mike. " We don't know. We think it's Golden Freddy, but we aren't sure. " said Chica. " Golden Freddy? You mean him? " asked Mike. He was pointing to the table. The yellow bear was gone.
Mike was astonished. " Where is he? " he asked. These fools don't know who they're messing with, thought Golden Freddy. Everyone was looking around. Mike felt uneasy, so he kept close to Bonnie. The search stopped when they heard a little girl's laugh. Mike ran to the office. Bonnie and Freddy followed him. Mike shut the doors once Bonnie and Freddy were inside. Chica and Foxy stayed behind. Mike checked can 2B. There was a poster of Freddy, but it was horribly distorted. Mike looked out the windows. Then, he checked the can again. This, time a yellow, eyeless face filled the poster. Mike heard the little girl's laugh again. He noticed Bonnie and Freddy had stepped back. Mike looked up. On his desk, the yellow, lifeless body of Golden Freddy slumped in front of him. Before Mike had a chance to react, a garbled screech filled his ears. Bonnie was standing cautiously. Bonnie grabbed he back of Mike's chair and pulled him backward. Bonnie covered Mike's ears. Mike opened his eyes. The bear disappeared again. Freddy gripped his mic. " Damn. " he said.
Mike looked at his alarm clock. His shift was almost over. He, Bonnie, and Freddy walked back to the stage. On the way there, Mike stumbled and fell. He tried to get up but couldn't. It felt like there was a thousand pounds on his back. He rolled over on his stomach. Bonnie's container had fallen on him. The little girl's laugh filled the air again. " Mike! Are you okay? " asked Chica. Mike shook his head no. He wasn't okay. His shoulder was broken. It was Golden Freddy who pushed the container. Bonnie and Foxy lifted the container. By now, Mike's shift had ended. Mike said a quick goodbye, and headed to the nearest medical center.
Mike filed a charge for injury. Angrily, his boss paid his medical bill. Mike was to stay home for a week for his shoulder to heal. Meanwhile, Bonnie was on the search for Golden Freddy. He was like an apparition. He appeared and disappeared quite often. After paying Mike's bill, his boss opened the safe. He was going bankrupt.
" Schmidt, I'm goin' outta business. I'm gonna have to shut down the restaurant. " said Mike's boss. Mike was terrified. " No! " he said. " Listen, kid. I know you like this place, but there isn't any other option. It's just not as popular anymore. " said his boss. " No! We can make it better! " said Mike. Mike's boss shook his head. " No, son. I'm done with this place. You can try to make it better, but I'm done. You're on your own. " said his boss. Mike felt a twinge of excitement and fear. " On my own? You mean I can do whatever I want here? " asked Mike. Mike's boss could feel his excitement. " Yes. It's yours. Make me proud. " said his boss. Mike couldn't believe what he was had to tell the others.
" Guys! I'm back! I have great news! " said Mike. Bonnie hugged Mike, but was careful of his shoulder. " What's the news? " he asked. " My boss was going to shut this place down, but I talked him out of it. He told me I can do whatever I want! " said Mike. Bonnie and Chicago were excited, Foxy was careless, and Freddy was angry. " No. " he gripped his mic. " No. You're leaving. I'd rather have this place shut dow than spend an eternity with you. " Mike felt hurt tugging at him. " Why do you hate me so much? What did I do to you? " he asked. " You came here. You interrupted our lives. I want you gone. " said Freddy. He stepped forward, still gripping the mic. Mike backed away. He didn't want a repeat of last time." Put it down, Freddy. Calm down. " said Mike. " Yeah. Chill out, bud. " said Bonnie. Freddy stepped forward again. Mike was backed against the wall now. Freddy was now directly in front of Mike. Foxy stood ready in case of a fight. " Freddy, stop it! Leave him alone! " yelled Chica. Mike felt a rush of courage. " Like it or not, I'm gonna fix this place. You don't have to help, but it's going to happen. " said Mike. Freddy's face softened. Bonnie stood by Mike. As did Chica. " You're really persistent, kid. I'll give you that. Here's a deal: Fix this place for everyone, or leave. You have to promise. " said Freddy. Mike was confused. " Why- " Freddy stopped Mike. " Don't ask questions, Schmidt. Just promise. " said Freddy. He put his hand out. A smile appeared on Mike's face. He shook Freddy's hand. They had a deal. Mike, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and Freddy vowed to fix the pizzeria as best as possible. Mike still kept his distance from Freddy whenever possible. Foxy gave Mike an official apology. Bonnie, Chica, and Mike became the best of friends. They were inseparable. As they began the long road of repair, they heard a girl's laugh.
