''Mangle is it really you?''

Mangle gave a little nod and hugged Chi tightly. The two had been friends ever since nursery and up to the day Foxy and Mangle suddenly became on the run. Mangle always felt guilty abut abandoning Chi without even saying goodbye but she had no choice. It was also wonderfully relieving to see an old face, especially at a time like this.

''I can't believe this! Fancy us being on the same boat, eh?'' continued Chi, hugging back.

Mangle pulled away for a second, ''It was fate!'' she declared, ''the stars aligned and the God's made sure that we were to meet on this sacred day.''

Chi burst out laughing.''I completely forgot I used to like that stuff, fashion's my passion now.''

''Fashion?'' said Mangle,who wasn't exactly interested in that sort of stuff.

''Yeah I'm a fashion designer, that's why I was in America, need something new, different from the rest of the fashion trends at the moment,'' said Chi, ''oh, why were you in America Mangle?''

''I lived there for eight and a half years,'' said Mangle flatly.

''Ohhhhh, and where's your brother? Aren't you two always together?'' pushed Chi.

''Yeah, we were,'' said Mangle, ''but we were on the run, Foxy held off those who were chasing us and let me escape, then-''

Chi clamped her wing over Mangle's mouth.

''Ok, I've heard some crazy things in my life, one size can fit all, some animatronics can pull off socks and sandals, that kinda thing, but I think you need to slow down and tell me the whole story,''said Chi.

So Mangle did.

In fact as she went over the story and her memories grew more vivid, Mangle couldn't help feel as if something she'd been carrying on her shoulders was finally being lifted despite she cried a little.

''So you're going back to Porton to find your brother who could potentially be captured by these enemy dudes?''said Chi.

Mangle gave a little nod.

''Wow! It's just like a story!''

''Yeah.'

''Or a fanfic!''

Mangle looked at Chi.''It's nice to be able to tell someone all this,'' she said, smiling.

''Duh! That's what friends are for,'' said Chi, putting her arm around her friend. Mangle's smile grew bigger.

''But you know...'' said Chi, a mischievous look in her eyes.

''Yeah?'' said Mangle, sounding a bit uncertain.

''I'm not sure I like the idea of my best friend going out on a dangerous adventure by herself where could come to harm... I know! I shall just to accompany you on your quest!'' said Chi.

Mangle's eyes widened. ''Chi you can't do that! I would never forgive myself if you got hurt!''

''I would never forgive if you got hurt,'' said Chi, linking arms with Mangle, ''sorry I've made up my mind, I'm going with you no matter what now.''

Mangle gave a little sigh, ''you're gonna come with me no matter what I do, right?''

''Yep,'' replied Chi.

Mangle looked out into the distance, she could just make out a tiny speck which she knew was Porton, they were almost there.

''This is gonna be fun! But we should make a pitstop first, gotta make a stop at my place,'' said Chi.

Mangle nodded and headed back into the ship, shivering from the cold. Despite having put up a fight for Chi not to come with her, Mangle was a little relieved to have someone accompanying her on such a mission. Chi herself at the moment was texting on her phone and pulling a leather jacket on. She looked up and caught Mangle's eye and gave a little wave.

Mangle knew that finding her brother wasn't going to be easy, perhaps it would prove to be impossible, but as Mangle remembered how determined her friend had been, she thought-

''We will be arriving Porton in approximately 35 minutes, please gather your belongings and get ready to get off.''

-That maybe with somebody on her side, she'd be alright.
