Fix me and I will Fix you
By End of Grace
A/N: Hey guys. Wow! Many of you thought it was Springtrap behind there huh? Sorry! A big thank you from me goes to speedox12 for being the beta for this chapter. I'm really grateful for your hard work. Also a big thanks goes to all of you for reviewing and liking this story, it means so much too me to know you guys like it.
Chapter Seven: It's a very long story!
Toy Freddy glared at Mike, growling deeply as his head twitched, his blue eyes becoming unfocused. Mike knew the signs, he had seen them in the others before when they tried to get him in the office in his first few days here; he slowly stepped back as he headed for the door. He must have blinked and broke eye contact, because Toy Freddy screeched as loud as he could and leapt out at him, missing him by a few inches, his teeth gnashing away. Mike rolled against the floor and slipped as he tried to get to his feet as Toy Freddy stood up and ran towards him, his arms stretched out to grab him.
"Come on! You spent the last three days learning about these guys! How do I turn him off!" Mike shouted at himself, his mind spinning as he dodged this way and that trying to avoid being caught.
Then he remembered that the Toy versions of the animatronics kept the CPU near the right side of their heads. A good hard whack would knock Toy Freddy out. He would need to let him get a bit closer before hitting him along with timing it just right. He waited until he almost felt Toy Freddy grabbing his shirt before he made his move. He spun around, pivoting on his foot and brought the hammer down hard against Toy Freddy's right cheek. Toy Freddy shook like mad, his body and head sparked and vibrated on the spot, screeching repeatedly, until he collapsed in a heap. Mike quickly went to work and shut off his free roaming (forming) switch and opened up the back panel of his head to look inside. It was a mess! Someone had switched all his cabled over and pulled various wires out. Mike reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out his small screwdriver and started to correct all the damage hopefully before Toy Freddy woke up. He had fixed most of it when a terrifying scream made him jump and look down the hall to see Goldie and Freddy both looking angry and worried. Goldie's body was sparking dangerously, with what was left of his fur was standing on end as he glared at Mike in cold utter rage. He lifted his arms, his fists clenched tightly ready to beat the life out of Mike as he ran towards him. Mike got to his feet, his adrenaline still going strong since his scuffle with Toy Freddy as Goldie came just close enough for him to swing his hammer to get him to back off.
"Fuck off Goldie! He fucking attacked ME! Not the other way round! And why was he fucking back here locked up in the first place? Especially since he needs help!"
Goldie wasn't in the mood to listen as he continued to growl and sneer at Mike, waiting for an opening to attack him, while Mike stood his ground, hammer in hand. Freddy walked up to Goldie and looked at Mike and then Toy Freddy, large oily tears falling from his eyes. Mike felt a pang of guilt, but damn it, they were the bad buys NOT him. There was a whirling sound behind him and the clanking of animatronic joints moving. He didn't dare move though, his eyes still on Goldie, but Goldie was watching Toy Freddy as he slowly came back on line. He sat up and shook his head slightly as he then looked up at Freddy and Goldie.
"Maaaaaaaa. Daaaaaaaaaaaaa" His voice boxed screeched, black oil running down his rosy cheeks. Freddy placed his hands over his face before pushing both Goldie and Mike out of his way before falling to his knees and embracing the toy, who wept in his arms. Mike felt a smile tug at his lips, but thought better of it as he looked over at Goldie, the eyeless bear too was weeping oil, his body shaking with emotions.
"I take it's been a long time since he's called you that?"
"A very long time", Came the deep grouchy voice that Mike knew Goldie had, but still he jumped when he heard it. "He's not been able to recognize anyone since the bite"
"Ok Goldie, no shit now, I want the truth and I want it now" said Mike, his hand tightening around the hammer. "I think I deserve that much don't you?"
The gold bear looked at him for a moment before nodding his head "Sure Mike. I'll tell you the truth, but first if you don't mind, I would like some privacy with my honey bear and our son"
"Yeah...no problem...I've got to fit everyone's voice boxes anyway...and I can work some more on Toy Freddy as well if you want...I'll be in the main hall"
Goldie simply nodded again and went over to Freddy and Toy Freddy and hugged them both as Mike went back to the main hall. Freddy looked up at Goldie as the gold bear wiped away his tears.
"Don't worry! I'm going to make a call, between him and Mike I'm sure they'll think of something. At least by morning I'll be able to hear your sweet voice again Honey Bear."
Freddy couldn't bring himself to tell Goldie off for calling him that ridiculous pet name, he was both too happy and terribly frightened of what was going to happen.
-Line Break-
Mike felt as if he was in a slight daze as he walked into the main hall. He had just stood down the most freighting animatronic in the place and even heard him talk, and on top of that, his son had tried to kill him. He leaned against the wall for support, his energy completely drained like it had been on his first night here, it was like all his strength had been sapped.
"Come on Mike! You've got a long night ahead of you and you haven't even started", he muttered to himself "Plus, I'm going to learn about the truth about that bite and hopefully everything else"
He heard Cherry's voice, she sounded worried, so he walked into the main hall where the animatronics were gathered in a small circle.
"What do you mean there is a bad bear in the back? What if he hurts Mike!" Cherry cried as she bounced in Chica's hands.
"I'm fine Cherry" Mike said as he walked up to the group, making sure to make a small bee-line to Foxy "And I've done some repairs to Toy Freddy. He and the other Freddy's will be joining us in a little bit. Are you ok with that Foxy? I mean he's the guy that you have been covering for all this time"
Foxy lifted his eye patch and looked at Mike, his golden eyes glowing with gratitude and happiness as he nodded his head. Mike felt a tug on his pants and looked down at BB who was looking at him with concern.
"I'm ok BB! And so is Toy Freddy, at least I hope so; we'll have to give him a final check up before morning to be sure. Now, I'm sure the cupcake let it out of the bag..."
"You didn't say I couldn't tell them" gasped Cherry as she looked him over, slightly doubting that he was alright.
"But I have got your voice boxes ready to go! So who wants to go first?"
All of them raised their hands and screeched, some of them even jumped about to get Mike to pick them, but Mike was a little preoccupied with keeping his pants up since BB decided to pull them down as a way of getting his attention.
"Ok, ok, BB. You'll go first. We'll do it by height...sorry Bonnie" said Mike as he rubbed his head as he saw the large bunny slump his shoulders. He stepped up to him and gave him a tight hug. "I can't wait to hear your voice Bonnie, I bet you got the nicest voice"
Bonnie blushed as he stroked Mike's hair and kissed his forehead, sending small butterflies though Mike's stomach. There was a loud crash behind them, Blu not wanting to wait his turn for his voice had kicked BB over and curled up with his ears down to appear smaller giving Mike a large smile as he fluttered his eyelids.
"Not a chance Blu! And since you tried to push in, you can have your turn after Bonnie!"
Blu's jaw dropped as he fell backwards on to the floor and started to sulk as BB blew a raspberry at him. Mike picked BB up from the floor and placed him on the table as Foxy bought over his tool box and Mangle the box of voice boxes.
"Ok, from your blueprints all your voice software is already installed on your hard drive, as long as that software hasn't become corrupted, this should work. I don't think it will hurt BB but I'll try to be gentle in any case. So? Ready?"
BB nodded and opened his mouth wide. Bonnie held up Mike's torch for him to see as Mike removed BB's old voice box. BB tried to hold still but he couldn't help but flinch when he felt the screwdriver press hard against his mouth.
"You're doing great BB, just a little longer, I promise. " , said Mike as he screwed the wires into place and flipped the switch on the small white box.
There was a sharp humming sound that came from deep within BB's CPU and Mike waited until it wound down
"Ok, fingers crossed everyone, ok BB is there anything you want to say?"
BB nodded as he hugged Mike's chest, his voice high pitched like the children that he gave balloons to "Thank you Mr. Mikey! You're my hero!"
Mike felt his face lit up like a beacon as the other animatronics cheered and clapped, he didn't think he was a hero at all, all he had done was fix them up.
"Thanks BB, but I'm not a hero, I'm just a normal guy. Now come on, I think your next Net"
"Can I hold the light for you, Mr. Mikey? I'll be good I promise." ,said BB as he held out his hands for the torch but Bonnie shook his head, this was his job.
"How about you hand me my stuff when I ask for it BB? That would be a great help." ,said Mike, not wanting BB to get upset.
The little boy smile could not have gotten much bigger as he held Mike's screwdriver for him in one hand and Net's new voice box in the other. Net tapped his fingers against his box as he waited for Mike to finish, his mind already whirling as it picked up the new voice box. He wrapped his arms tightly around Mike and pulled him in close, his mask resting against Mike's ear.
"Thank you so much Michael" his voice was low and soft, reminding Mike of velvet "I can't wait to have you in my box again. My tentacles have missed you"
Mike laughed nervously as he stepped back "Um...yeah...I missed the...you ...how about you next Chica? You, Mangle and Foxy are about the same height, but ladies should always go first, sorry Foxy"
Foxy snapped his finger and gave an over dramatic sigh that made everyone laugh. Chica handed Net Cherry too hold as she sat down on a seat that Foxy held out for her.
Mike was part of the way though putting her voice box in when the three Freddy's came in. Toy Freddy tried to hide behind the two large animatronics, feeling both shy and worried about how they would greet him after so many years away. How would Foxy react to him, after taking the blame for him? Maybe he should stay in the panic room. Goldie turned his head slightly when he noticed Toy Freddy was back stepping and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and shook his head. He wasn't getting out of this. Freddy gave him a reassuring smile and patted him on the head before Goldie pushed him forward towards the group. Everyone was looking at him, even the security guard, and Toy Freddy felt one of his pumps was about to spring a leak.
"Freddy!" BB shouted from the table and waved his arms about "Your back! Mr. Mike said he fixed you and he did and he'll give you a wash later too and and and..."
"Hey calm down BB, lets not frighten him" said the guard as he gave Toy Freddy a smile "Sorry about hitting you earlier Toy Freddy. How's the hard (head) drive? Didn't do it too much damage did I?"
Toy Freddy shook his head "Sssssoorry"
"Hey, don't worry about it. Mummy and Daddy bear there have both tried to kill me too so you're alright. I'll give you a look over later though if that's ok? I want to finish giving everyone their voice box's first"
Toy Freddy felt his red cheeks glow warm as he looked at the security guard. He was so different to the last one he had met. He had been cruel and foul tempered while this one was clearly nice and his smile made his pump go a little faster. Then he saw Foxy and his pump froze as his bright blue eyes meet his golden ones. He bowed his head to show Foxy he was truly sorry for what happened; and as the fox came over to him he expected the fox to lash out at him, but instead the larger animatronic gave him a hug and patted his head welcoming him back to the group.
"Thanks for everything Mike." said Chica, her voice was slightly deep but feminine. "You're really a wonderful guy."
"You're welcome Chica." smiled Mike as he turned his eyes to the ceiling and looked at Mangle "Come on down girl, it's your turn."
Mangle shook her head and her broken voice gargled out across the room as she stayed up among the lights. Chica took Mike's hand and shook her head.
"She says she wants to wait until you fully fix her Mike. She wants to be whole when she starts talking again"
"But I haven't got her blueprints yet. It could be ages" argued Mike feeling bad that he hadn't gotten them, Mangle looking down sadly at him.
"The owner hasn't found them himself yet." said Goldie as he stepped closer to Mike "Once he has located them, he will hand them over to you, we have waited years to be fixed kid, what's a few more days or weeks to us?"
Mike looked at Goldie with a frown on his face "How do you know the owner hasn't found them yet?"
The broken gold bear let out a roar of laughter before giving Mike an eerie smile "Just cause the old man had to leave doesn't mean he stopped giving a crap about us boy. There is more going on here than you know."
"Then stop talking in riddles then and tell me what the hell is going on."
"Ain't my story to tell kid, you'll have to wait until he gets here, which will only be a couple more minutes. So in the mean time you can mend Junior and Honey Bear's voices."
Freddy smacked Goldie on the shoulder while Toy Freddy gave a loud whine as if he was embarrassed at being called Junior. Mike shook his head and pointed at Foxy.
"I've already said Foxy is next, I'll do Toy Freddy and Freddy afterwards, then Bonnie and finally Bonnie Blu."
Goldie simply nodded and gestured for Mike to continue as he took Freddy's hand. Foxy sat down on the seat, Bonnie slightly to the right of him holding the light, while BB was on the left holding Mike's tools. He opened his mouth widely, his hook digging into the plastic of the chair as Mike removed his old box and started to place in his new one. He started searching his hard drive for all the stories and songs he knew, the ones he could finally re-tell(tale) to the children, all thanks to Mike.
"Well Foxy? Did it work?"
"Aye, lad! And me and me first mate Mangle have agreed that ye be joining our crew as our new cabin boy!" said Foxy his voice reminding him of Captain Barbossa from those cheesy pirate movies.
"A cabin boy? Come on! Second mate at least." moaned Mike as he helped Foxy to his feet.
"Ya have to earn that right boyo! And once ye repaired me first mate, we will give you a proper pirates welcome." said Foxy as he gave Mike's butt a very firm slap, his gold eyes giving Mike the chills. Mike rubbed his butt cheek as he went up to Toy Freddy and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Ok, your turn."
Toy Freddy seized up and backed away from Mike until he was pressed against Freddy shaking his head. Freddy wrapped his arm around him and patted his head, comforting him, as Mike rubbed his head. What could he do? The poor bear was shaking and he couldn't blame him. Not after what that last security guard...Mike looked down at his uniform, no wonder the smaller animatronic was freaking out. The older animatronics gave a small squeal of glee as Mike undid his shirt, but groaned when they saw he was wearing a white T-shirt underneath it. He also took off his hat and wrapped it in his shirt and stuffed both into his tool box. He then politely tapped on Toy Freddy's shoulder and the toy looked at him for a few moments, visibly relaxing in Freddy's arms.
"Sorry for acting so insensitive there, Toy Freddy. You know that's just too long and I can't call you Freddy either, that will just be confusing. And I'm guessing your not a fan of Junior?" The toy shook his head as the others laughed while Goldie snorted unhappily. "So how about I call you Fred? Is that ok?"
Mike suddenly found himself on his back on the floor, with Toy Freddy hugging him tightly around the middle, laying on top of him. Blu hissed angrily before Bonnie smacked him over the head. This wasn't the time for a spat. Mike laughed as Foxy and Chica helped him and Fred to their feet and Mike led him to the chair. BB was about to hand Mike his tools when there was a loud knock on the front door. Everyone looked at each other before looking at Mike, who simply shrugged.
"Don't look at me! I wouldn't know if its your owner or not!"
"Leave it with me." said Goldie as he walked towards the door "Me and the boss go wwwaay back; and if it ain't him then the poor smack is about to get the fright of their life hehehe"
Freddy and Mike both rolled his eyes at Goldie's words as they watched the older bear peer out the glass window before turning the locks to open the door.
"It's good too see you again Boss, though I wish you improved your timing, was expecting you ages ago."
"Sorry about that old friend, But to be fair, you woke me up in the middle of the night and there are not many cabs about."
Mike felt his jaw slowly drop and his hand lose grip of his screw driver as Goldie escorted an elderly man in after relocking the front door. The man slowly made his way over to the group, his wrinkly face smiling brightly as he gazed over the animatronics.
"It's so wonderful to see you all in fine health. I know I have you to thank for that Michael."
Mike blinked as he pointed hopelessly at the older man. "Mr. McBear?"
-Line Break-
The animatronics lined up and waited for their turn to hug the old man, whom they more affectionately called "father" rather then "owner" or "boss". He spoke to them all softly, talking of old times and his happiness of being back.
"It is so good to see you again, Toy Freddy. I can't tell you how sorry I am about what happened, I can only hope you can forgive me?" said Mr McBear as he held out his frail hand for the small bear animatronic to take.
Fred shook his hand and hugged the older man gently in his arms, not wanting to hurt him before returning to his seat. Finally the McBear turned to Mike, who had been standing to the side, in shock mostly, as he watched his landlord embrace his friends.
"Goldie told me you have asked for the truth Mike, about everything, are you sure you want to know?"
"Yeah, cause there was obliviously a reason behind Foxy taking the blame for the bite and why Fred here was locked up. And I think you know something about why these guys hunt down security guards and stuff them into suits"
The old man smiled sadly as he nodded "It is a long story Mike and a rather sad one too"
"I'm all ears, you can tell me it while I continue working on these guys, if that's ok with you?" said Mike holding up his tools.
Mr McBear smiled, his eyes watering slightly as he nodded, sitting down on the chair that Goldie had bought over to him. The animatronics stood around them in a circle, with the two chairs in the middle with the humans; one for them to be fixed while the other held the man that knows their story well.
"Well, I guess it started many years ago, when I was about your age Michael, I was a young man with big dreams and a plan. With my wife Amy, we scimped and saved until we could afford the dinner and of course the materials for me to build Freddy. Who as you know later became Golden Freddy and later built the Marionette, who wasn't a full animatronic at the time. We were so busy and our business was doing so well. My son was growing up, going to school and I was working on building more animatronics. Then...one day...we were holding a party...and someone screamed loudly...I turned around and to my horror that there was blood pouring though the bottom of our fount door"
"The homeless girl that got killed? Did anyone ever say why it happened?" Mike asked as he took out Fred's old voice box.
"Sadly no. She was a homeless girl, so no one really cared and no one came to claim her body, so I paid for her funeral. I had to close the dinner of course, as no one would bring their children to a place where their children were not going to be safe. I was getting desperate at the time as well. Bills were piling up and Amy wasn't well either. Then an old friend and rival of mine came knocking. Fraz Vontrap, his name was, who owned a pizza place and asked if he could buy Freddy off of me for a very generous sum. He promised to take care of him and everything but I couldn't do it, Freddy was part of my family and you didn't sell family. Fraz and I got to talking then and I showed him my ideas for the other animatronics; and the more we talked, the more our idea grew. We became partners, and while our plan was in the works, I would work as a manger in his restaurant with Freddy. Amy died of cancer that year, leaving me to raise our son alone. Freddy helped as best he could with me in grief and to help raise my small boy. But Freddy had to work in the restaurant with me, so who could I trust to look after my boy? At the time I had just finished building the model animatronic for Bonnie. He was a simple and friendly bunny with gold fur. I named him Trap after my friend, but my son wanted to call him Spring. We compromised and in the end he was called Springtrap and they were inseparable from that moment on. It was almost like having two sons instead of one. He worked with me, Freddy and of course Springtrap in the restaurant while studying business at school. Then one day, after years of work, we were ready to open our pizzeria. I had finished building Freddy, Chica, Bonnie and Foxy and everything was wonderful. We were huge!"
"But wait a sec...in the papers I read, you simply renamed your dinner and that later became the pizzeria. Your talking as if it took you guys years..."
"Of course it took us years Mike, neither of us had any money." exclaimed Mr Mcbear "I had lost everything bar my family, Freddy and the Marionette. Fraz had everything he had tied up with his own business so yes it did take years for us to get our own place. Ten years of hard work. You have to understand something Mike, me and Fraz are of a generation that took great pride in doing things ourselves without going to anyone for help."
"Ok, I get that. So this is the pizzeria that first opened, so that means...oh." said Mike as he looked at Goldie, who was clenching his fists as Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy's eyes went black.
"Yes, the murder of the five children, a truly horrible crime. Like this place, that old pizzeria had a storage place for spare parts and suits, but only a few people had the key to get in. At the time we had employed a pair of bothers, one was working as a security guard and the other as a cleaner. They had both seemed like such friendly nice boys you know; you would never had expected it, I know I certainly didn't. One day, during a party I noticed that Goldie was acting oddly, but I was so busy I didn't get a chance to go and talk to him. It wasn't until the following day when we discovered the bodies of the children and Goldie's endoskeleton that we discovered the truth. The younger of the two brother's, the cleaner, had turned off Goldie's free roaming switch and had taken his suit to wear, to...to..." Mr McBear shook, hot tears falling from his face as he placed a hand over his mouth to hold back a sob.
Mike didn't say anything and kept his eyes on Fred, allowing the older man to regain his composure, as he finished fixing Fred's new voice.
"How is it?" he asked as he helped Fred to his feet. The bear blinked and smiled, his red cheeks starting to glow.
"Thank you Mike, its really nice of you to fix me, after what I did..." his voice was young sounding to Mike and sounded posh.
"Hey, it's nothing, besides it wasn't really your fault" said Mike giving Fred a small hug as he looked over at Freddy "Come on big guy! It's your turn"
Freddy sat down as Goldie growled at Mike "Remember to keep your hands off my honey bear, Mike."
Freddy sent him a deep glare as Mr. McBear shook his head "You're still calling him those silly nick names after all these years? You know he doesn't like it!"
"But he is my honey bear. All I have to do is rub his belly and..."
What ever Goldie was going to say was cut short when Freddy grabbed one of Mike's tools and threw it him, smacking him hard in the head, making everyone roar with laughter.
"Look Mr. McBear, I know what happened if you don't want to talk about it, if you want to skim a few things that's ok, just don't leave out the important stuff" said Mike as he asked BB to get him another screwdriver from the box.
"Well, after the police came and captured the lad they interviewed his brother... but could find no evidence to prove he was involved"
"It was damn obvious he was involved!" snapped Goldie bringing his fist down hard on the table. "And after what he did to Spring..."
Mike remembered reading that the guard had been found in Springtrap's body as he looked at Mr McBear to explain.
"The guard for some reason or another thought that the spirits of the children were out to get him, so he thought he would hide in the one place they wouldn't think to look. While Spring was in sleep mode he turned off his free roaming switch and used some sort of crank to move his endoskeleton parts out of the way so he could climb in but he hadn't used it right and the spring locks snapped loose. They...he...well... it was a horrible death for both him and Spring. Once his body was removed, I cleaned Spring as best I could but I didn't think it was right to reactivate him so, he was laid to rest in the old restaurant and we found another place to set up."
"That's when your friend stepped down from being the CEO and that arse-hole was put in charge. The Manager told me how much he hates these guys and how you too fought about them." said Mike as he pulled out Freddy's old voice box.
Mr McBear and Goldie shared a look but both shrugged as the old man continued.
"When the new building was ready, it was thought we needed a new attraction. Goldie had officially retired, but I felt it was best that he still help out in his own way and gave him the software to do the books as well as guard the backstage area during the day. The Marionette was giving a full animatronic body and I also built new animatronics and affectionately called the Toys. Toy Bonnie and Toy Chica are basically younger siblings of their older counterparts while Toy Freddy here well..."
"He is our baby bear." said Freddy, sounding a lot like Tom Hanks as he stood up and shook Mike's hand "And thank you Mike for all you've done for me and my family."
"Um your welcome, I was glad to help out, but I've got a question before you continue Mr. McBear"
"What is it lad?"
"Why do you guys chase the security guard? Is it because you see us as endoskeleton and try and put us in to suits or is it something a lot worse?" Mike asked as he looked at the animatronics, all looking nervous and embarrassed, as did Mr McBear.
"Actually ,Mike, what happened next is the very reason that tradition started up, it was also my idea." said Mr McBear as he rubbed the back of his head. "Believe it or not, you're actually the only real night guard we have had in a while that hasn't been a scum bag."
"Ok, you have really lost me, what has me being a good night guard got to do with it?" said Mike as he took Bonnie's hand and led him to the chair only to find Blu already on it. "Blu! Off! I told you I'd do you last!"
Blu shook his head and crossed his arms as he tiled his head back and opened his mouth. Mike sighed in frustration as he looked up at Bonnie.
"Bon, would you mind? Its too much of a hassle when he's being like this"
Bonnie nodded sadly, but Freddy came up to them as he glared at Blu "No Mike, you said Blu will be last and that's what he going to be. Now get off that chair!"
Blu looked a little nervous looking back at Freddy, but he still shook his head in defiance. He wanted his voice back, but then Freddy snarled and roared at him angrily and he quickly leapt up off of the chair. Mike sniggered as Bonnie sat down on the chair.
"So how did that tradition start? Was it before or after the...you know what?" as Mike glanced at Fred.
"Oh well before." smiled Mr McBear "After that security guard, we hired another for the new building but he was not the most trustworthy and was seen by Freddy and the others drinking alcohol on duty. We had also noticed that money was missing from the tills. So I asked the gang to start wandering the halls and spy for me."
"We caught him in the act of nicking the money, but we didn't have anything to tie him up with. So I thought we would use one of the spare suits to weigh him down. He was found in the morning... ALIVE but completely freaking out. It was funny as hell. So we decided to keep it up. The boss made those tape messages and we did the rest. If the guard survived the first week without breaking the rules or doing anything bad then we left him alone if he did break the rules..." explained Goldie his smile was wicked as he remembered all the guards he had tormented.
"They got stuffed into a suit...but wait a second...you guys went after me for three weeks and I hadn't done anything, so what the hell?"
Chica blushed brightly "We liked how you screamed...and the fact that you pulled funny faces when you panicked."
"Can I ask ye something lad?" smirked Foxy as he looked at his hook "Is it normal for a boy of your age to scream like a wee young girl?"
"Ha! Ha! Very Funny!" Mike said sarcastically "So the whole thing about you killing the guards was all made up? Is that why you were shocked when I asked?" he directed this question at Freddy.
"If that was the rumor going about, that we were killing people, it could explain why the business wasn't doing so well, if the costumers were afraid we would hurt them. Though saying that, there was one that I truly wished we had killed..." said Freddy, his voice going deeper as his eyes glazed over black again.
"As you know Mike, the animatronics must rest for a few hours before we open, that and the few hours we are closed without a guard are the times where they're at their weakest. One of the night guards, who hated the animatronics a great deal, had received a call that night that wasn't my recording" said Mr McBear.
"It was a rich voice that told him he would pay him money if he caused us trouble." said Fred looking down at his hands before lifting them to his face and covering his eyes. "I was there near the door when he got the call so I overheard some of it, but then he noticed me and slammed the door shut. I didn't make much of it at the time...but I so wished I had. I told Freddy, but that was just before we went into sleep mode and that..."
"He was the one that messed with you... he messed with all of you." said Mike looking at them all. "But why?"
"So we couldn't tell anyone what had happened." said Chica sadly "The boss wasn't in that day and the other stuff didn't really seem any different since we could still say our catchphrases and such."
"We could also tell something was wrong with Baby Bear, the louder and more fuller the place got the more upset and aggravated he got. Then...well, as they say it's history" said Goldie with an uncomfortable sigh as he wrapped his arm around Fred's shoulders.
"Well, no it doesn't! Because that tells me how the bite happened but doesn't tell me how Foxy got the blame and why he was sealed up in the back." said Mike shortly as he worked on Bonnie's mouth.
Fred flinched as he gave Foxy as sad apologetic look but Foxy simply smiled.
"What kind friend and pirate would I be mate, if I hadn't taken the blame and save the small lad form being scrapped?"
"So you offered to take the blame, but what about Fred? And the staff and such?"
"Freddy had already lost Goldie in the sense that he was retired and losing Toy Freddy would have broken his heart. No one really saw who had bitten the man, but everyone saw that Foxy was covered in blood. It didn't take much too convince everyone that Foxy was guilty ,but, somehow, the CEO had already been told about Toy Freddy and was ordering him to be scrapped. I fought with him, begged even and in the end we came to a deal. Foxy would take the blame and stay out of order, while Toy Freddy would be sealed away in one of the back rooms and I was to retire. I was also made to promise that I would never fix or build another animatronics in exchange of keeping my ownership over the gang. The long fights, the bite and the deaths finally caught up with me and I suffered a stroke. I was stuck in the hospital for ages and unable to help my friends." said Mr. McBear in a defeated voice as looked at Mike "Goldie refused to tell me anything while I was in the hospital..."
"You were ill!" Goldie snapped "I wasn't going to make it worse by telling you, Toy Chica had disappeared and that Mangle was out of service as well"
"It wasn't until I got home did I find out that my friends had been left in such a mess, but what could I do? The CEO had my word that I wouldn't go fix them myself and I didn't trust, and neither did they, anyone that came to close to them. That is...until you Michael. When you offered to fix Bonnie for free and then fixed Blu and Chica without even being paid too do it, I knew then I could trust you. But both me and Goldie felt we should test your skills as well. Hence why you were asked to fix the Marionette and Balloon Boy first before we felt you could be fully trusted with Foxy"
"Right, although I don't like this being all done behind my back, I guess I can't blame you guys for having trust issues and I have to thank you for sticking up for me against the CEO as well, otherwise I would have been out of a job"
"It's not a problem Mike, after all I needed you to have this job otherwise I wouldn't get my rent from you." joked Mr McBear, laughing as he watched Mike blush.
Bonnie tugged on Mike's shirt and pointed to his mouth.
"Oh, Sorry Bonnie, got distracted there." said Mike as he started to rewire his voice box. "So, what now? I mean...what is it you want me too do?"
"Only what you want to do Mike." said Mr McBear "I know you have your own dreams and plans...but do you think you could make a life for yourself here...with them?"
Mike looked down at Bonnie, who looked back at him with pleading eyes, that made his throat tighten. He then looked at everyone else, all with the same pleading and hopeful look that he would stay.
"I do like working here...no scratch that...I love it...and working with you guys is part of my dream...so yeah...I guess..."
Bonnie stood up then and lifted Mike over his shoulder and looked at Mr McBear "Excuse us, I need to talk to Mike alone." his voice was deep and smooth (Think Vincent from Beauty and the Beast 80's version) as he quickly ran down the hall, Mike bouncing on his shoulder.
Blu blinked helplessly as his jaw dropped, letting out a screech of frustration as he ran after them. Mr. McBear rose to his feet unsteadily and was quickly caught by Goldie.
"Thank you, old friend. I'll take my leave now... if Mike has any more questions, he can come to me or you I hope?"
"I suppose we can trust him, he hasn't let us down yet, though if he does, it will be devastating for them" said Goldie in a soft voice so that the others could not hear him as he led his oldest friend to the door "Are you sure you want to leave it like this though? You didn't really tell him about the CEO..."
"There will be time for that Goldie. You have the inspection to deal with first and then that Manger I think will have to be dealt with... have there been anymore clues?"
"Nah, but the kid is sniffing around, he might dig something up" Goldie took Mr. McBear's hand and shook it and held it tightly. "But I want you to keep out of out of it when the time comes...NO! LISTEN! You're not young anymore! That stroke almost killed you! You're meant to be taking it easy and not getting worked up. And you have haven't you? I can tell from the way you have been breathing on the phone!"
"You worry too much about me Goldie." smiled Mr McBear "But alright, but I want to be kept in formed of everything that goes on. If he decided's to make his move, we will need to be ready. Also Goldie...I didn't wish to say anything in front of the others...have you been keeping up with the news recently?"
"I have and if they do that...do you think he'll come back?"
"If he does...you know what to do"
"Good and with Baby out of the safe room, we will have plenty of room for him" Goldie smiled evilly and for a moment, so did Mr. McBear before walking out in to the cold night air.
-Line Break-
Mike knew it was better just to keep quiet and let the Bunny do his thing rather than try and argue. What ever Bonnie wanted to say to him, he had wanted to do in private, so only he could hear. Though Mike was pretty sure that Blu was hot on their trail as he was the only one that hadn't got his voice back and wasn't really in the mood to wait. Though he was honored that Bonnie wanted his first conversation with him, he didn't appreciate being tossed about like a sack of potatoes. Bonnie placed him down and quickly shut the metal doors knowing full well that Blu was on his way.
"I'm sorry for doing this Mike ,but I wanted to talk to you alone." said Bonnie as he easily picked up several large boxes and place them in front of the floor vent in case his smaller blue counterpart tried to get in that way.
"I kinda guessed that with you locking us in here. So, what's so important that you had to hide us away in here?"
Bonnie suddenly looked embarrassed and twisted his hands nervously
"You don't know what to say?" Mike smiled "It happens big guy. Just take your time and it will come back to you. How are you finding the voice box by the way? Does it need tightening or anything?"
Bonnie shook his head as he walked up to Mike and wrapped his arms around his back, pulling him in close as he rested his head on top of his. Mike smiled, enjoying the soft fur against his cheek as he returned the hug. He heard Bonnie mumbling as he pulled back to look up at him.
"Sorry Bonnie but what did you say?"
"I love you Mike." said Bonnie, his confession sounding as if it was straining his new voice box.
"Well, I love you too, like I said you're my favorite..."
"No Mike. I LOVE you... as do the others... deep in our hard-drives. Well, not Goldie or Freddy and BB thinks of you as a big brother and..."
"Whoa... slow down there Bonnie" said Mike turning as bright as a Christmas tree. "I know you guys like me and all..."
"Mike you don't understand." said Bonnie shaking his head "For years no one but the children have ever cared for us. Treated no better than slaves by parents and staff, expecting us to do everything they ask us to do and never giving a word of thanks or allowing us any breaks. We have been slowly falling apart fearing the day we would stop moving as it would mean we would be scrapped. I was so afraid Mike when I stopped moving and my arm fell off, I thought I was going to die, until they took me to the back of the kitchen and said that you were going to try and fix me. At first I feared that you would do more damage than good, but then you started talking to me, your kind words and gentle hands were like a balm on my soul. You treated us so kindly and defended us; how could any of us not fall in love with you?"
Mike didn't know what to say as a loud bang made him jump out of Bonnie's arms. More banging followed as if someone was trying to break the door down. Bonnie went over and turned on the hall light to see Blu standing there, glaring at him, enraged.
"Go away Blu!" snapped Bonnie "Mike will fix your box before he leaves."
Blu stamped his feet and screeched as loudly as he could, throwing a tantrum even a three year old would be impressed by, as Mike joined Bonnie by the window.
"Blu please, I promise I'll do your voice, but Bonnie just wants a word with me" Blu shook his head, still hitting the glass and the door with his fists. "Ok, how about tomorrow before anything else I'll play with you, how about that?"
Blu stopped and looked at Mike, his eyes and smile wide as he nodded his head, waving goodbye as he went back to the main hall. Bonnie shook his head and glared slightly at Mike.
"You're going to regret that promise."
"Yeah, well, it got him to leave us alone didn't it? As to what you were saying... I don't know what to say... I mean I'm nobody Bonnie. I'm just a guy who was really down on his luck when I got this job. You guys are putting a lot of faith in me and..."
Bonnie grabbed Mike's t-shirt and yanked him forward leaning down to kiss him. Mike tried to push him back and wiggle out of his grip, but when Bonnie's tongue licked his lips, he went limp, and opened his mouth to let him in. Bonnie lowered his arms to Mike's rear and lifted him up and placed him on the desk without breaking the kiss. Mike pulled away, needing to catch his breath as Bonnie nuzzled his ear.
"Let me show you how special you are to me Mike." he whispered as he pushed Mike down to lay flat on the desk. Mike felt confused, his mind was spinning from everything he had heard tonight and now Bonnie had told him he loved him and that the others felt the same, he just didn't know how to feel about it. He watched as Bonnie undid his belt and pulled down his pants and underwear reveling his already twitching cock. Bonnie went down to his knee joints and used his hands to part Mike's legs as he leaned over him.
"Do you remember the last time I did this for you? I didn't get to taste you then, I fully intend to now" said Bonnie as he slowly licked Mick's cock from base to tip. He took only the head into his mouth and sucked on it hard, making Mike wiggle and hiss at his teasing. He licked the shaft up and down, feeling its heat and salty taste on his tongue as it grew harder and larger. He squeezed Mike's ball slightly, making him gasp and arch his hips. His crimson eyes watched Mike's every move, recorded every face Mike pulled and stored it to his long term memory.
"You're really beautiful Mike and I do love you so." Bonnie said as he kissed each of Mike's balls.
"Stop saying... and doing weird stuff Bonnie." Mike huffed, his skin feeling like fire it was so red "It makes me feel...weird."
Bonnie rolled his eyes as he smirked, giving Mike's cock one last kiss before taking it full into his mouth. He wanted to taste Mike's cum, wondering if it would be sweet or salty, or something unique that was Mike's alone. He watched as Mike's blush had spread across his face, down his neck and making his eyes glow. He listened to each little noise Mike made from his moans, his oh's and his groans. Mike's heart was beating heavily and Bonnie wondered if he could get his pump in sink with his so they could beat together.
"BonnIE!" Mike moaned feeling his balls starting to tighten as he was ready to cum. He kept his eyes closed, not wanting to see those red orbs gazing back at him and feeling more awkward than he already did. Bonnie was sucking harder now as his hands squeezed and rubbed his hips and legs.
"Let yourself go Mike." Bonnie's voice sound deep and wanting "Let me have your seed in my mouth."
"I'm close... really close!" Mike cried as Bonnie licked and sucked him, bringing him closer to the edge.
He wrapped his legs around Bonnie's body and gripped the desk as he released into Bonnie's mouth. Although it was not a good idea since it could block up his pump and other circuits, Bonnie still swallowed Mike's cum, willing to risk having the strange but delicious substance inside of him. Mike sat up and pulled up his pants as he watched Bonnie lick his muzzle clean and got to his feet.
"Do you understand now Mike?" Bonnie asked as he took Mike's hand and kissed it.
"Not really, but we need to get out of here now cause I doubt Blu is behaving himself." said Mike as he opened the door, not quite making eye contact with the purple Bunny.
Bonnie said nothing as he followed Mike back to the main area where the others were waiting. He could be patient and wait until Mike was ready to accept their feelings for him. After all, even though he says no most of the time, he never really stops them from showing their affections and even sometimes returned them. He just had to wait a little longer that was all.
-Line Break-
"I was starting to think you had forgotten me Mike." said Blu as Mike put away his tools. His voice was not as girly as Mike had thought it would be but it was still quite high for a guy. "You were in there an awful long time with Bonnie."
"Sorry about that Blu." said Mike closing his tool box. "Bonnie had a lot to get off his chest."
"I'm sure he did." said Blu as he smiled and rested his head on top of his hands. "And there is a lot of stuff I want to get off as well, but I'll be a good bunny and wait till tomorrow like you promised"
Mike laughed nervously at the lustful look Blu was giving him and quickly looked around for a distraction when he saw Toy Freddy sitting on his own near the corner of the stage.
"Fred isn't looking to good Blu, I'm going to see if he's ok."
"That's fine Mike." smiled Blu as he stood up from the chair and kissed Mike on the cheek "I've got some planning to do for tomorrow."
Mike quickly said goodbye to Blu and picked up his tools and walked over to Fred. Mike couldn't help but notice how down the poor bear seemed as he looked down at the floor with a sad expression on his face.
"Hey Fred. You ok? Is everything working alright?" Mike asked as he stood in front of him. The small bear jumped and looked scared for a moment before realizing who it was.
"Sorry Mike, I was lost in my memory banks for a moment, there is no need to be concerned." said Fred sadly as he looked back down at the floor again.
"Well, you look really down and I was wondering if you needed someone to talk too, plus also I want to give you a wash and oil your joints as well."
"Why?" Fred asked in confusion, looking back up at Mike.
"Well, there is meant to be an inspector coming around and he's going to look for any reason to shut this place down. Seeing you looking a bit grubby will be just the reason he needs"
"But Chica doesn't like it when we go into the kitchen while she's working." said Fred as he stood up from the stage and started to follow Mike towards the kitchen.
"We'll be at the back of the kitchen so we should be fine." said Mike as he opened the kitchen door and peeked inside. Chica was busy making the pizzas while explaining things to Cherry who was sitting on the side watching her.
"Hello Chica, hey Cherry, would you ladies mind if I work out the back with Fred? He needs a bit of a clean"
"Oh." said Chica sadly "I thought you might have come in here to spend time with me."
Mike felt a small stab of guilt as he rubbed the back of his neck "Sorry Chica. I promise I'll make time for you and even help you out with cooking if you like."
"I wouldn't let him if I were you." said Cherry cheerfully "If it's not leftovers or microwavable he's hopeless."
"Remind me to dye your icing mint green when we get home Cherry." said Mike as he pulled Fred into the kitchen and made their way around the back.
"Ok Fred, take off your hat and get comfortable, while I get the hot water into a bucket"
"This isn't going to hurt is it?" asked Fred as he placed his hat down and undid his tie.
"No, not at all, all the others really enjoyed it." said Mike as he bought the bucket over and then went to his tool kit for this oil can.
Mike noticed that Fred seemed a little nervous still and wondered what he could do to help the poor guy relax. It was then he noticed a small radio that the kitchen staff used when the football was on and their wanted to know the score.
"Hey shall we have some music on?"
Fred smiled then and nodded as Mike fiddle with the knobs trying to turn it on.
"..iller of five children is being reviewed tomorrow and..." "Nope, that's boring, we need music." "Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world..."
"There we go!" said Mike listening slightly to the tune as he picked up a large sponge and dunked it into the water.
Fred's coat was mainly coated in dust and cobwebs, so Mike didn't have to put to much cleaning lotion on his fur, just used a lot more hot water. Now and again Fred would jump if Mike brushed against something sensitive, but seemed content to stand there and hum along with the songs.
"So are you going to tell me why you're feeling so down?" Mike asked "You're not thinking about what happened are you?"
"How can I not? I did something truly awful and to make it even worse Foxy took the blame and has not been able to be with children as long as I have."
"Yeah, but what happened to you wasn't your fault was it? It was that jerk's fault, he screwed you up and made you act that way. And Foxy offered to take the blame for you because he cares about you and didn't want to see you scrapped. And I'm really glad he did because it means I get to meet you and fix you up. Now you and Foxy can both be with kids again and be happy"
"Really? You think so?" asked Fred, his voice slightly higher as he looked at Mike in awe.
"Yep! Did you have some kind of routine? Or play an instrument?" Mike asked as he oiled Fred's neck joints.
"I sing like ma...like Freddy does. We use to take it in turns on who would sing and be on the shop floor."
"I bet you're really good then. I'll have to come in during the day to hear you" said Mike, noticing that Fred's red cheeks were glowing slightly
"So, was that all that was bothering you?"
"No... Freddy told me that my toy sister Chi is missing as well. He said it's been years since she disappeared. We use to be really close and I have missed her greatly while locked away."
"Yeah Chica mentioned her to me." said Mike "What was she like? Was she nice?"
"Oh yes, really nice and super friendly if a bit clumsy. She couldn't be trusted in the kitchen because of it, but she was wonderful with the children."
"She sounds great... did she get on with everyone?" Mike asked remembering that Chica had mentioned that she had argued with the two Freddy's.
"Well, yes... sort of. Chi got on with everyone... but there was one person that she dotted on more than anybody. One of the young sales assistants. Papa used to get quite mad at her for skipping work to spend time with him."
"So she really liked the guy then? Why didn't Goldie like him?" Mike asked as he worked on Fred's torso and arms.
"No one really liked him but Chi. He smelled awful most of the time, was always being lazy, that's one of the reason's papa didn't like him because he kept dumping his workload on Chi. He was also a really bad kiss-up, always hanging around the owner, always asking him if he could do anything for him; it was disgusting to watch."
Mike worked on Fred's legs as he processed the information. So the manager was a bigger dick back then, but why lie about it? So far all he found out about Chi was that she really liked the manager and that she clashed with Goldie over it, but is that enough to blame the manager for her disappearance?
"So... Mike... can you tell me about you? My family seems to really like you" Fred asked looking down at Mike with curiosity.
"There isn't much to tell really. I finished college with the highest marks in engineering. I live in a flat with my final project Cherry, she's the cupcake you saw with Chica and my landlord is your owner Mr. McBear. My ex-girlfriend stole all my money so I had to get a job really quick and found this place. The rest is history."
"Well, I'm glad you did, if it wasn't for you, I would still be sealed away behind that door, never seeing anybody but papa now and again"
"Goldie visited you? How?"
"He came through the vent. He was tall enough to climb into it while I'm..." Fred slumped slightly, not liking to bring up the fact that he was rather short.
"Well, I think that's you almost done Fred. I've done your teeth, so they're all nice and white now and your fur is lovely and clean. The only thing I've got to do now is your pelvis section. Now I promise I'll be very quick; wipe over and oiled joints just like that and hopefully your parents won't kill me for doing it"
"Ok... but why would my parents kill you for giving me a wash?" asked Fred tilting his head to the side. Mike blushed brightly himself wondering if he should tell Fred or not.
"Shit don't tell me he's... Oh come on he's got to know right?... I mean the others did... unless he wasn't designed that way..." he thought as he knelt down in front of Fred.
"This area is really sensitive." said Mike calmly "So if it starts to feel a little too much, you tell me to stop ok?"
"Ok." said Fred, who looked very confused.
He watched Mike soak the sponge again and reached for his left leg joint that was connected to his pelvis. It was a nice feeling, he could feel the muck leave his joints and his circuits sparked slightly at Mike's touch. In fact, there was a lot of little sparks going off, it tingled in a nice way as he felt a wonderful rush to his pump. Mike had reached further back now and was washing his rear just beneath his tail, sending more sensations to Fred's circuits. He sent a quick search to his hard-drive to find out why he was reacting to Mike's wash when Mike rubbed a little harder against his fur. He let out a small moan as all his wiring heated up and his cooling system started to engage.
"There you go, Fred. All done." said Mike as he pulled away and got up to his feet. He had heard the moan and judging by how brightly the bulbs in Fred's cheeks were glowing he did the right thing.
"Are you sure?" Fred asked, still feeling the tingling sensation in his lower body. "I still feel really dirty down there."
Mike bit back his own groan and he picked up the bucket of water to throw it away down the sink. Seriously? Was Fred that much of a virgin? Then again, with over protective parents like Goldie and Freddy it was most likely.
"I promise you Fred you're all clean and fixed. I'm going to give your hat and tie a wipe over before you put them on as well." said Mike as he quickly cleaned up his mess and tools. He wiped over the small hat and tie and handed them back to Fred to put on.
"Mike, do you think the manager will let me perform again?" Fred asked as he fiddled with his tie.
"I don't really know Fred. If he was here when the... when it happened... he might be reluctant to let you near the kids." said Mike honestly "It might be better, at least for a while, if you solely stay on the stage. That way the others can keep an eye on you and the manager won't have to worry about the costumers. And if anyone asks you're the band new Toy Freddy that the pizzeria has just got and have nothing to do with the thing of 87. How does that sound?"
Fred nodded, but Mike could tell the small bear was upset that he couldn't interact with the children straight away but it was for the best. Everyone still thought that it was Foxy that had done the bite, but the staff that were there at the time probably knew the truth and were most likely going to cause trouble. Chica came around the corner holding Cherry in her arms.
"Mike? Fred? It's almost six. We need to get to the stage." said Chica smiling at them both.
"Mike, Chica has taught me so much about cooking, so from now on I'm in charge of the kitchen at home." said Cherry excitedly as she bounced from Chica's arms to Mike's.
"Really, and how do you plan to do that without any arms or legs?" asked Mike as he followed Chica and Fred out of the kitchen.
"You've got to build me some, otherwise I'll have to boss you around."
"You mean more than you already do? No thanks. Though I don't think it's right for a cupcake to have arms and legs."
"Oh! But Mike." Cherry moaned loudly as the animatronics took their places on the stage while Foxy got ready to pose in his cove and Net got comfortable in his box. .
Mike smiled as he watched Freddy hug Fred and pointed to the open space beside him and Bonnie.
"See you guys this afternoon, maybe, if not, see you tonight." said Mike as he waved goodbye. They all waved and said goodbye to him and Cherry and went one by one in to sleep mode.
"Ready to go home Cherry?" Mike asked as he turned around to go home as Cherry nestled into his arm.
"Yep, my battery is saying I've only got 15% left. So I will need to go on the mains for a while."
"Not a problem Cherry. I'll think I'll hit the hay as soon as we get in too and maybe later..."
The front door to the pizzeria swung open before Mike got there and the manager walked in, looking tired and untidy in his uniform.
"Hey Mike. Long night?"
"You could say that. You ok? You don't look so good?"
"Just trying to get this place up to standards before that inspector turns up which should be today, though I'm praying to the heavens it's not since we're getting that windows finally fixed and...WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING THERE!"
"Oh, you mean Toy Freddy? I found him wandering around in the back corridor tonight so I fixed him up and he now as good as new."
"Mike you don't understand that bear is evil! He was meant to be scrapped."
"Why? What did he do? I mean everyone knows it was Foxy that did the bite, right?" said Mike, smirking when he saw the dumbfounded look on the managers face.
"No, Mike you don't get it, you weren't there!"
"Well, neither were you right? That's what you told me. Before your time you said and that's why you never met Toy Chica before right? Besides, like you said it was all the Foxy's fault, so why would anyone care about Toy Freddy? If there is a problem I'm sure the owner will hear your concerns, but I'm sure Toy Freddy will behave himself. He'll stay on the stage for now where Freddy can watch him and teach him the ropes. So you have nothing to worry about" Mike watched as the Manager's face went various colors while the left side of his face twitched. "Well, I'd best get home and rest. You'll probably call me later for some reason or other. So see ya!" Mike smiled as he left the manager behind and walked out the door. He walked down the street humming a happy tune with Cherry sitting in the crook of his arm and his tool kit in the other.
"So Mike, how good did that feel?" Cherry asked, her tone knowing and happy.
"Really good Cherry really good."
Back in the pizzeria, the manager glared heatedly at Toy Freddy before making his way to his office. He had a call to make and the receiver was not going to be happy about it.
-Line Break-
Mike felt like he had slept for hours when he woke up and looked at his clock. He had only been asleep for four, but that was fine; he was hungry and he could hear the post being delivered. He stretched as he slowly got to his feet and dragged them though the flat. Cherry was still asleep, charging up her battery on his small table, as he went to the front door to pick up his letters. There were a couple of bills, junk mail and a gold envelope with a stamp mark from Florida. Did he know anyone in Florida? He quickly made himself a coffee and some burnt toast before sitting down on his sofa. He looked over his bills and was actually relieved that he could pay them on time and still have enough money over to get food this month. He then picked up the gold envelope and ripped it open and pulled out a couple of pages for him to read.
"Dear Mike Schmidt, Congratulations! You have been selected to become an engineer in the happiest place on earth "Critter Country". All we need you to do is give us a ring, fill in these forms and send them to us straight away so we can set up your final interview and introduce you to your new family and friends "The Critters". All your questions will be answered on the day and..."
Mike couldn't read anymore as he slumped back into the sofa cushion. His dream job. He had gotten his dream job. All he had to do was ring them and fill in this form. That was it. He'd done it. Then why the hell did he feel like he was sick to his stomach?
