Under New Management
Chapter 2: Toy Bunny
By the next day Miss Kaiba assembled a crew at the pizzeria to begin work. The poor characters didn't know what to do. They were use to performing for large crowds every day and with the building closed they felt out of place.
"How long is this going to last?" Freddy wondered fidgeting with his microphone.
"Things should be as good as new or even better in a couple of months." Angel replied flipping through the schedule.
"A few months?" Freddy sounded worried. "I've never gone that long without putting on a show."
Angel lowered the list glancing at the chubby bear. "You could always put on a show for me." She suggested.
Freddy nervously dropped his prop and struggled to pick it back up. By the time he had the microphone in paw again Freddy was greeted by an unfamiliar face. "Am I in the way?"
"Why don't you come back inside the mansion? The Toys are already there." The boy said.
"Freddy, this is Orion. He's my assistant." Angel began. "He'll help you and your friends if you need anything."
The boy was slightly taller than Angel with blonde hair and green eyes. Orion was dressed business-casual for this position wearing a button up white shirt with the sleeves rolled and black pants. To prove he was suppose to be here Orion had a badge clipped to his collar.
"Go ahead, I've got to get going. But I'll see you tonight?" Angel said looking at Freddy.
For the moment he couldn't speak. Why was Angel so nigh right now? She was so serious yesterday.
Orion looked from Angel to Freddy. "Okay boss." He answered for them. "Come on lover bear there's nothing you can do here." He turned to walk away.
Freddy watched as Angel spoke with one of the workers before finally walking towards his door.

For the rest of the day no one inside the mansion saw or heard from Angel. That didn't stop Freddy from pacing the floor.
"You might want to give it a rest before you wear a hole in the carpet." Toy Bonnie said. He was sitting on the couch just as bored.
"I don't want it to be like this every day. I'm not use to being unable to do my daily routine." Freddy said.
"Can't say I enjoy it either. It'll be okay, she'll have the place fixed up in no time." Toy Bonnie was more optimistic.
At last the golden doorknob turned and the door opened. Toy Bonnie's ears perked up as did Freddy's rather fuzzy ones. Angel stood in the doorway letting out a deep sigh. Her once perfectly pulled back hair now had loose strands hanging down. She looked tired and overworked. Angel slipped the shoes off her feet as Freddy came up to see her.
"I'm so happy you're back." He smiled. "Did you have a hard day?" He asked noticing how exhausted she looked.
"So much work." She said. Angel did run a business and now she was in charge of another one along with the renovation and upkeep of it's inhabitants.
"I'm sorry." Freddy's ears went down.
"What I could use right now is some company. If anyone is willing to join me." Angel shut the door and walked across the floor heading towards the stairs.
Freddy felt a little panic come on until Toy Bonnie hopped off of the couch volunteering to follow. Then Freddy knew he had to go forcing his feet up each stair. As he got closer to the end of the hall where Angel's pastel pink door was Freddy's heart pounded faster in his chest. Standing in the doorway he wasn't quite brave enough to take that step forward.
"Are you coming in?" Angel asked unbuttoning her jacket.
Freddy bit his lip seeing Angel expectantly waiting for him. Instead Freddy turned quickly grabbing the blue bunny who had followed and held Toy Bonnie in front.
"Here." Is all Freddy said before bailing.
Toy Bonnie watched Freddy a moment before turning to Angel. "Looks like I'm your bunny."
Although this time Angel looked annoyed again this time at Freddy.
Toy Bonnie shut the door. "I'll be your entertainer tonight. Is there anything special you'd like to request?"
"Yes, let me go beat Freddy." Angel took a few steps forward.
Holding his hands out the blue bunny still blocked the door. "How about not beating Freddy? He's just shy." He could see that wasn't going to be enough to calm their owner. "I'll take his place…?"
At Toy Bonnie's offer Angel backed down and folded her arms.
"You can take your frustrations out on me?" Toy Bonnie wasn't sure this is something he wanted to offer but it would spare Freddy.
Angel gave her bunny a look then smiled. "What were you saying about being my entertainer?" This was something she expected of the males.
Toy Bonnie straightened his posture ready to roll. "I don't have my guitar on hand…" He began.
"You don't need that I want a different kind of entertainment." Angel said sitting on her soft bed.
"You do?" Toy Bonnie was starting to see why Freddy kept getting nervous.
"I bought you. I do remember saying I expect you boys to do whatever I asked without hesitation or question." She said looking thoughtful.
She had Toy Bonnie there.
"That's true." Which meant he had to obey or there was a fear of being beaten hanging in the air.
Toy Bonnie walked to the bed without hesitation sitting next to Angel. He wrapped his paws around her waist, lowered his long ears and touched his delicate bunny nose to his owner's.
"Am I doing this right?" He asked.
Angel ran her hands up his wide arms. "You're doing great."
"Good." He smiled.
Toy Bonnie rubbed his cheek against Angel's. "What else can this bunny do to rock your world?" He asked calmly.
"I want as much as I can get to take my stress away completely." Angel said wrapping her arms around his neck.
If stress was the problem Toy Bonnie was certain he could provide a solution. Not thinking it through Toy Bonnie gently pressed his lips to his owner's asking if that's something she wanted. Angel responded by pulling her toy bunny closer deepening the kiss.
While this was happening Toy Bonnie began to feel a strange sensation happening in the lower half of his body. It wanted him to continue kissing Angel with the added urge to force them both down onto the bed at the same time it made him feel embarrassed and lose his confidence.
His red cheeks started to become redder.
Before Toy Bonnie could move away Angel pulled him down onto the bed with her. She laughed feeling better and hugged him.
"You're my toy bunny and I want you to stay." She said.
He was thankful the flustered feeling was dying down and his confidence slowly returned.
"So now you want me to be a big stuffed animal?" Toy Bonnie asked.
She giggled at him. "Yes, don't you dare go anywhere."
"I promise not to fall on the floor." He said.
It would be difficult to pick him back up though probably funny to try.
"Good to hear. I hope you'll always be here to be my romantic toy bunny who must ask for permission if he's doing something I like." She really did enjoy authority. "And you know, I don't expect anyone else to come in and disturb us tonight."
Angel turned to Toy Bonnie poking her nose against his bunny nose.
Toy Bonnie closed his eyes and smiled, play time was not over yet.
