Chapter 6- Unexpected Friends
*Important Authors note about future chapters*
It wasn't easy to perform for the children again. Freddy and his friends, on their first day working again, stared dead into their eyes, unable to comprehend what was going happening. Their gears spun nearly off end, and their heads swam. It was even harder for Foxy, whom had many children asking him on the spot questions about being a pirate.
Normally, Foxy would just hid behind the curtains and stare at the other three perform a song or two when all the children around him wandered off. Equaly as stressful, he felt a rush of jealousy. Even though they were his friends, Foxy still wanted to be the best. It made the day go even slower.
"Hey kids!" Freddy said happily, looking down at all the children. They stared back up at him, a rainbow of eyes all directected straight to him. Everyday, he felt even worse about the children. Sure, it was his job to love them, but how was he supposed to love something that he never got to enjoy being himself? It wasn't easy.
"Hello there kidos!" Bonnie said next to him, strumming a tune on his guitar. "Do you kids know what today is?" Bonnie continued, looking dead at the children with a smile of pure glee. "Today is the week anniversary of the grand reopening! That's right, a full week of us! I can't believe it either!"
Chica seemed apprehensive. "Hey Freddy! Got anyway to reward these kids for staying with us for so long?"
"Why yes! I do! Hey kids, Ready for a new song? Just for you guys!" Freddy said, the happy shouts from the children answering him "Alright then! These kids are ready for the band! Let's get started! One! Two! GO!"
Foxy scowled. This wasn't like him, he normally never got jealous. Especially not over his brother, Freddy; However, no matter what he did, Freddy always seemed to attract more attention to himself. "It just not be fair…"
Foxy sat at the end of his cove, his pawed feet dangling over the edge. Reaching into his exoskeleton, he found one of the books he was normally reading. Flipping back to the page he last left off on, he continued reading, blocking out the world and all it's disappointments. Without meaning to, he started to hum, gently flipping another page of the book as he did so.
"Duh duh dum dum. Duh duh dum d-d-dum"
"Foxy?" Someone said, nearly making him drop his book.
"ArRg… er… hello there matey! How ye be doing?" Foxy said, quickly hiding the book behind his back. "Please don't ask about it!"
"What were you doing here all by yourself?" The child asked. Foxy noticed that it was a boy, with a green shirt and blue jeans on. He also had dark green eyes and dirty blonde hair. "Are you lonely?"
"Um.." Foxy stared at the kid. "I don't have a recorded message for this…" he thought, panicking slightly. "Um… no! Not at all kido! I just… um… be reading me book! Yup! Reading be a good way to forget about the problems with the world and relax it be!"
"Really? What's it about?" The child asked. Foxy cursed silently. These kids asked too many questions.
"Um… it be about… um… you know what! How about I tell ye a special story! It be… more interesting than me book!" Foxy said, mentally scolding himself afterwards. Much to his distaste, the child nodded, and sat down in front of him, eagerly waiting for the story. Foxy rubbed the back of his head. "What should I tell him… something about… well… he probably can't connect it to me anyway…"
"How about the one about my good friend Reynard!" Foxy said, the boy nodding in return.
"That one!" He said. "Great choice…" Foxy thought "Why did I suggest this?!"
"Alright… well… His name be Reynard, He be very smart, he was. His older brother, Freddy-"
"Fazbear?" The child asked. Foxy stopped, sniffling a bit.
"N-No, just his namesake. Anyway, him and his brother were best of friends. They did everything together, they watched their mother and brothers have fun together, they tell the other their problems, their curshes, their secrets… everything… they be good friends… they were…" Foxy said.
"Were?" The child asked.
"Yeah… something… something in both of them changed… and while they still be brothers… it's different somehow… Reynard just want's his brother back… he just want's him back! He doesn't want the monster that his brother became!" Foxy said, wiping tears from his eyes. While the kid looked up at him with a confused expression, all Foxy could see was the limbs of Golden Freddy being ripped to pieces, finally ending with Freddy holding her head. Then, Freddy just laughed, finally ending it by ripping off her head brutally, throwing the remains to the ground.
"Well... " The little boy said, pulling Foxy back into reality. "When me and my brothers fight, we normally hug to make it better. Then we explain the problem… It works sometimes!" he said, standing up and began to run off.
"Tell him my problem… hey! Boy! What be your name?" Foxy said. The boy turned back around, running back over, nearly tripping over one of the standalone chairs.
"My name is Greg!" He said, a bright smile appearing on his lips. Foxy smiled back, wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Alright Greg, if you ever need me for something, just ask. Ye be a good friend." Foxy said, the boy squealed with laughter, running up to him and hugging him tightly. "Anything ye need… let old Foxy know…"
"Ok! Thanks Foxy! I hope you're friend Reynard and his brother makeup…" Greg said, running back over to the stage to listen to the next song. Foxy sighed, sitting back on the stage, curling up to read his book. He looked back over at the stage, seeing his brother happily singing with all the children.
"Oh, I hope so too…" He whispered.
The day was over many hours later, Freddy was alone in the kitchen eating leftover pizza. He stared deep into one of the walls, ignoring everything for that moment. "Ugh… rough day…" He muttered under his breath. How much longer must he do this? It only brought up the old days when he first became Freddy Fazbear and first sang for the children. He had done it for so many years, he actually like being wretched and unable to perform. It had given in a lot more time to think.
"Freddy?" Foxy said, poking his head in through the door. He slowly approached the bear, taking a seat next to him on the floor. "Um… what… what are you doing?" He asked.
"I'm just, uh, eating some pizza. Want some?" Freddy asked, motioning towards the pizza box. Foxy helped himself to some, carefully biting into it with his sharp teeth. "How… how was today?"
"It wasn't too bad. I made a friend, I think." Foxy said, looking down at his feet. Freddy grunted, biting into his pizza again.
"Oh, well, that's… interesting." Freddy said, wiping some sauce off his mouth. The two sat in silence for a moment.
"Uh… Freddy?" Foxy said after a moment.
"Yeah?" Freddy replied. He noted that Foxy's voice had cracked a bit, as if he was getting somewhat emotional. "Are you ok Foxy?"
"No.. I'm not. I just have to ask… do you still love me? I mean… I wouldn't think no less of you… but… you seemed so angry… so brutal… the thing with golden… Bonnie… Jeremy… I just… I sometimes forget that you really are my brother…." Foxy admitted, wiping tears from his eyes. "I just… I need you right now… even during the day when the kids all go to you, I feel so left out and forgotten. I be hating the feeling. I just be wanting everything to go back to the way it used to be… just you and me… and Bonnie and Chica… I miss us."
"Oh… well…" Freddy started, but Foxy wasn't quite finished yet.
"And… and… our mother… brothers… I never see them anymore. Fact is that they probably don't be knowin where we be… so, really, it's just you and me. We really are the only family we have left. And… I don't want to lose you! I still want ye Freddy! I don't want ye to forget about me!" Said Foxy. To Freddy's surprize, Foxy took impulse and grabbed him into a hug, sobbing into his shoulder.
"Foxy… of course I still love you. You're my brother! And if you ever have any doubts about that… just… it's me… ok… it's always been me… I've had a lot to think about lately… what with the new place and the whole thing with Bonnie. If you ever need me, ever, you just come and tell me anything." Said Freddy, the weak nod from Foxy making him smile. "Unless it's about Chica, because that's all you man!"
Foxy sniffled, hugging him tightly. Chica poked her head around the courner, after hearing the crying. She stopped, seeing them locked into an embrace. She smiled, quickly leaving them to their own devices.
