-You Can't-
Chapter 6: Gone
Freddy was looking for Marionette since the morning without finding her. She was nowhere to be seen. What was surprising was that Spring Bonnie was gone too. He thought for a second that they were together in a hidden room and doing whatever two animatronics in love could do but he scrapped that idea. He had heard from Goldie that Mario had rejected the other golden animatronic.
Starting to worrying, he checked once again the Music Box, hoping to find her in there. Unfortunately, she wasn't there. "Where could you be ?" Freddy asked in a low voice, thinking about an answer.
He needed to speak with the others. If they could help him, that would be better. Decided, he went to Pirate Cove and yelled the name of his friend. The red fox looked at him through the curtains and asked him what he wanted. "Did you see Marionette and Spring Bonnie ?"
"Nah. Why yer be askin' that, lad ? There be a problem ?" The pirate fox demanded, worrying about his friends' strange and sudden disappearance.
Freddy lowered his head and took his hat in his hands, looking at it pensively. "I don't know..."
Foxy frowned and came closer to him, leaving Pirate Cove and putting a hand on the bear's shoulder. "Me be goin' to help yer, lad."
"Thanks Foxy..."
"That be normal, Freddy." The red animatronic answered, following him as they walked through the halls of the pizzeria and looked for the two missing animatronics.
They were really nowhere. Did they go on a date, outside the pizzeria ? Freddy knew that was wrong but Foxy didn't. He wasn't aware about Marionette's attitude towards Spring Bonnie when he told her about his feelings.
Freddy sighed, annoyed by the situation, and travelled through the hundread halls of the place. They soon found Bonnie near the Back room, and the purple bunny looked at them with a friendly smile. "Hey guys !"
"Hey."
"Wow... Is there a problem ?" Bonnie asked when he heard Freddy's tone of worrying.
The brown bear and the red fox remained silent for a little while, Bonnie understanding that something was wrong quite easily. "What is going on ?"
"Did you see Spring Bonnie or Marionette ?" The leader demanded, glancing at him with eyes full of hope.
Bonnie thought about that, trying to remember. He'd seen Spring Bonnie rushing to the Restrooms and Marionette speaking with Fredbear before going back to her Music Box. What could exactly go wrong ? They were in there, weren't they ?
He answered what he saw and Freddy's expression lightened. He seemed truly reassured by these facts. Foxy smiled friendly to him and said: "Yer be joinin' us ? We be wantin' to find them, lad."
"Of course. If I can help you." Bonnie replied, nodding and putting his guitar down before following them.
They went to the Restrooms, trying to find Spring Bonnie. They looked all around the rooms but didn't find him. They only found Plush Goldie and Plush Foxy, which were hiding behind the sinks. Bonnie raised an eyebrow while looking at those two, wondering about what they were doing. Maybe they were playing Hide and Seek with the other plushies... And maybe with Spring Bonnie and Marionette.
"Hey guys ! Maybe they're playing Hide and Seek with them." Bonnie shouted, the other two coming closer to him and glancing curiously at the plushies, Freddy thinking about that.
He walked towards Plush Goldie, asking friendly and as discreetly as possible: "Do Spring Bonnie and Marionette play with you ?"
"No, neither do Plushtrap and Plush Mario."
"They be gone." Plush Foxy completed without leaving his hiding place.
That made Freddy and the other two frowning. What was going on ? Why were they all disappearing without logical explanation ? They needed to understand what exactly happened while they were on the show stage.
"Wait." Freddy interrupted, remembering something. "I know what to do."
Foxy and Bonnie stared at him without understanding while the bear was quickly going to the kitchen. They ran after him, following their friend through the halls. "Why do we go to the kitchen, Freddy ?" Bonnie demanded, worried about his friend's attitude.
"Yeah, lad, why we be goin' speak with Chica ?" Foxy added, running after them.
Freddy smiled friendly to them. "She wasn't on-stage. She certainly knows something about what happened."
They quickly arrived to the kitchen and Freddy knocked at the door, waiting for an answer from the inside. Chica told them to enter the room, and they did. She was cooking some pizza while listening some music and singing.
"...There's evil that waits inside, Spend the night, Then you'll find, There's evil that waits inside, It's M- Oh ! Hey Freddy, Bonnie and Foxy !" She smiled friendly while walking towards them.
"We didn't came for the pizza, Chica." Bonnie replied while lowering the music's volume. "I didn't know you listened to those musics."
Chica crossed her arms against her chest. "They're awesome."
"Indeed, lass." Foxy agreeded, nodding vigorously his head and smiling hugely.
Freddy cleared his throat and came closer to his friend. "Chica, did you see Marionette or Spring Bonnie ?"
"I saw Marionette. She was in her Music Box when I heard a car. I went to the window and saw the Purple Guy." The chicken animatronic explained. "I was so scared ! I ran to the Safe room and Fredbear spoke with me."
"I don't even want to know what you said to him." Bonnie reacted, disdainful.
"Wow, why are you like that towards me ?"
"Shut up."
"Hey, stop !" Freddy yelled, interrupting the arguing. He sighed, annoyed by the situation, and turned to Chica. "Why was Purple Guy there ?"
Chica shrugged. "How could I know ? He left some minutes after with a bag."
"A bag ?"
"Yeah, a bag. Something was moving inside it. But I was too scared to try to figure out what it was." She answered to Freddy, looking at the oven and at the pizza inside it.
Foxy glanced at Freddy and came towards him, telling him that something was strange about that story. She couldn't have run to the Safe room and seen the scene described at the same time. Something was also wrong about her attitude. Freddy frowned and approached Chica, grabbing her arm.
Instantly, she turned to him with black eyes, white pupils in the center of them, and screamed at his face. The bear stepped back, trying to figure out what was going on but she attacked him once more. Bonnie was the first to react, pushing her away and ready to fight with her. "Don't you dare to touch him." He warned, eyes filled with anger.
Foxy ran to Freddy, checking if he was alright. Fortunately, he was not harmed. He was scared because he didn't expected this to happen, but he was not wounded. The fox looked at Chica with surprise, noticing something unusual. "Hey, Freddy lad, look !" He shouted, showing the cut wire in Chica's neck.
The leader of the animatronic group frowned and approached the broken animatronic, trying to catch the wire but the chicken was fighting back. He pulled her against a wall, Foxy and Bonnie holding back her arms while he was grabbing the wire and deactivating the other animatronic. Chica's expression showed pain before shutting down, her eyes closing and her head lowering motionlessly.
Bonnie sighed happily and took her in his arms, taking her to the Back room where Marionette could repair her.
Freddy looked at Foxy, who was increasing the volume of the music, singing in harmony with the music: "So Dream, Dream, Dream yer dream..."
The brown animatronic shook his head like a bored parent would and left the room, wondering about what he could do to bring Marionette back, and, above all, what he could do to save Spring Bonnie, wherever he was...
Marionette was upset. Yeah, indeed, she was really upset. Purple Guy was not alone, of course. He had 'friends', and these ones were none others than her new robots. Even the Balloon Boy animatronic was by his side. Why did he need to use her new robots ? That was so unfair for the poor new creatures they were.
But the most upsetting thing to her mind was Spring Bonnie's absence. That could seem surprising but she... She liked him. He was her friend since a long while and she loved speaking with him, joking with him... He was so nice with her... Why did that turn into love ? They didn't needed love.
Or did they ?
That was a question ever-present in her mind. Why did she... Why didn't she answer ? Why did she remain silent ? Why did she break his heart ?
She was really sad about that. Spring Bonnie was a really kind robot. He didn't deserve what happened to him. And now, where was he ? Was he still at the pizzeria ? She doubted of that. He certainly ran out of the restaurant when Marionette rejected him. She felt so guilty...
When she heard some footsteps in front of her, she shook her head and raised it, looking at the Toy Bonnie animatronic in the eyes. She feared them. Purple Guy tought them how to kill slowly people, to make them suffer. They weren't animatronics anymore. They were... monsters.
"What are you going to do to me ?" She asked, fearing the answer.
The animatronic seemed really sad, that was unusual. Marionette was scared by his attitude. Was he going to kill her ? Probably. "Go." The blue animatronic said, releasing her from her chains. "Don't tell anyone. Your friends need your help."
"So you're releasing me ? For real ?" Marionette asked, not trusting him.
Toy Bonnie nodded, showing her the door. Marionette smiled gently to him and ran towards the exit, looking all around her. Okay, she didn't know where she was. How was she going to go to the pizzeria ? She shook her head and started to walk, trying to recognize something- or someone.
That's when she heard someone calling her. She turned around, only to find Plush Goldie staring at her. She smiled to it and approached it, kneeling before it and grabbing its little hand. "What are you doing here ?"
"I was trying to find you. Come, let's go to the pizzeria." The plushie said, leading her to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
"And so ?" Plushtrap asked while sitting on his chair, looking at Spring Bonnie. The animatronic was bearing Plush Mario over his shoulder, glancing at his plushie with an amused look.
"You know, we need to find a place to live today." The bunny reminded his counterpart, smiling while Plush Mario was kissing his cheek.
Plushtrap sighed sadly. "Can I bring my chair to the new place ?"
"It's your problem, Plushtrap." The other plushie replied, looking around and hugging Spring Bonnie.
They were not at home anymore, there was no doubt. They were... nowhere. In a dark and creepy, decrepit place. And they were alone, in the darkness, wondering about their past and the errors they made.
The Spring Bonnie plushie sighed and stood up, climbing Spring Bonnie's leg and sitting on his other shoulder. They began to walk in the street, searching a place to live when they finally found what they wanted.
It was a small apartment with only one bedroom but it was perfect for them. The living-room was quite correct, many light entering the room through the bays and they could even see the whole city from there. Spring Bonnie fell in love with that apartment.
He glanced at his two little friends, waiting for their approval. Plush Mario smiled and nodded, happy with that place, and Plushtrap was glancing at a wonderful chair in the corner of the bedroom. Spring Bonnie laughed, tenderized, and decided to get this place.
With what money, you ask ? With the money of jumpscare, of course.
The seller came and demanded money. Spring Bonnie had a creepy smile. Unsure, the seller asked if there was a problem and Plushtrap jumpscared him. The poor man ran as fast as he could out of the apartment, giving them the keys.
Plush Mario smiled to her plushie friend, making eyes at him. Plushtrap smiled softly to her and blushed, suddenly looking away. Plush Mario laughed softly before getting off Spring Bonnie's shoulder and walking around the place. There was some furniture but there was no bed and not many things in the kitchen. They would have to manage to find some furniture items.
Plushtrap followed her into the bathroom, looking at the bath without expression. Plush Mario turned to him, smiling gently and taking his hand slowly. Plushtrap froze, blushing vigorously before turning to look at her in the eyes.
Spring Bonnie stared at them without saying anything, remembering Marionette. Why did she rejected him ? Now he was never going to see her again. Maybe he could call Fredbear, asking him to come everyday to speak a little with him. He was going to feel alone otherwise.
Decided, he closed his eyes and called the golden bear. Right after that, he opened his eyes and looked as Fredbear was in front of him. He seemed to be quite lost. "Where the f*ck are we ?"
"In my new house." Spring Bonnie answered, going to the sofa and sitting on it. "I wanted to ask you something."
Goldie teleported next to him, looking at him strangely. "And what is it ?"
"Can you... come here everyday for a little while ? I'll need some company." The golden bunny demanded, glancing at his best friend's reaction.
He was quite disturbed by the question but nodded, promising that he'll try his best. But something was obviously concerning him. He was... absent-minded. Lost in his mind. "Can't you just come back at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria ?" Fredbear asked some time after with a sad voice.
"No..."
"But why ?"
"Goldie, listen..." Spring Bonnie started, taking one of his friend's hand and wondering. "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is not my place."
"Neither is it mine but I don't leave it." Fredbear replied, worried about his best friend.
Spring Bonnie sighed sadly before going on: "I don't want to live there anymore. I want another future."
"If this is because of Marionette, I'll f*cking k-"
"No, Goldie please listen !" The golden bunny animatronic shouted, his heart beating much faster than before when he noticed Goldie's anger.
Fredbear tried to calm down, listening at his best friend. "I just- You know that... we are going to be scrapped, right... ?" The golden bear nodded sadly. "I just want to escape my fate. Don't you want to do the same ?"
"You're lying, I know this is because of Marionette, but-"
"Fredbear please, answer my question." Spring Bonnie interrupted. "Wouldn't you like to live a new life ? Where you are free to do what you want without anybody to scrap you or threaten you ?"
The bear remained silent for a while, giving by that an obvious answer. Who would not ?
"Fredbear... Stay with me."
The bear's heart missed a beat when he heard that. "What ?"
"Stay with me, my friend. Or you'll be killed."
