Voice

Liam was ecstatic. He just yelled happily at the top of his lungs. He hadn't shown this must emotion past laziness since he was a tiny kid who wanted to come to places like Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

"I am alive," he mused joyfully as he looked at all the animatronics lying about around him. "I love life. That is why I'm going to get things together, and I am going to fix these guys… and girl up!"

He plugged his music in his ears and marched right out the door and found his tool he had been looking for right around the door. He walked right back in and started his work. He surprisingly was getting work done swiftly. He almost had Balloon Boy fully repaired when the door squeaked opened.

He didn't notice Cordelia creep in due to his music. She watched him as he fixed the boy with a smile. He was completely consumed in what he was doing. She eased up to him and lightly tapped his shoulder.

His head shot in her direction. "Oh. It's you." He pulled his headset off. "I never caught your name. I am Liam Bangs. Nice to meet you now."

"My name is Cordelia Lowell." Her brown eyes stared at him questionably. "What are you doing here?"

He stretched his arms in the air as he yawned. "Yesterday, I was called to fix Balloon Boy. After I got stuck here and hid, I decided I would also fix those," he pointed to the withered animatronics, "over there, too."

"R-really?" she said anxiously.

"Yep," he said with a small smile. "Did you know they can talk apart from what they are programmed? I heard them talking. The purple bunny his voice box is pretty messed up. I am going to fix that and a couple other things today and maybe come back another when I'm free. No classes today."

"I see," she mumbled as she watched him close Balloon Boy back up.. "Well I have got to go. Uh…. See you."

"Bye," he called as he pulled his headphones back over his ears but heard nothing. He heard Balloon Boy giggle as he looked at his cassette player. No batteries.

He glared as he pushed the young animatronic out the door and turned to the old ones. "Now let's get the hard part started. First with that voice box."

He looked Bonnie over and messed with some wires in his throat. His face not being on helped him somewhat. He knew they were not awake right now so he searched Bonnie for an on switch. It took a while but he eventually found a system boot button. He pushed it.

Bonnie booted up quickly for being so beat up. He didn't do anything but stare at Liam. The red light that should be his eyes glowed dully in the dim light.

"Hi there, Bonnie," Liam said clearly with a little bit of nervous tension. "I am going to fix your voice box. I'll need your help though. When I say so, I need you to talk for me. Can you do that?"

The bunny seemed to nod as the red beaded lights followed Liam's every move. He tried to move some things around in the animatronic's throat then mouthed 'now'.

"M-my name i-is B-b-bonnie."

Liam shook his head grabbed some more tools and did some more before another try. "I-i'm a big p-purple b-b-bunn-ny."

He glared and went back to the drawing board.

Try 3- "I p-p-pla-ay guit-tar in a b-band."

Try 7- "E-eat your v-veggies, k-kids."

Try 10- "Let m-me play a song fo-or you-ou."

Liam just didn't understand. He had gotten better but he should work fine. Blue eyes stared into and thought deeply before he realized something and pulled a set of wires more into the light. One wire was half red and green while the other was green and red. All the wires were supposed to be one color. "Are these different color on separate ends? Who mended these that couldn't see the color system. Some people are so stupid."

He had to detach the two with clippers and took great time to reconnect every bit of the copper wiring on the inside. He gave Bonnie a thumbs up to signal another try.

"My name is Bonnie," the animatronic said without one glitch or stutter. "I am Bonnie the Bunny!" Liam could have swore he heard joy in its metallic voice.

"Okay," Liam said with a twinge of tiredness. "I need you to shut back down for a bit while I work on some more servicing on you. I doubt I will finish today, but don't worry. I'll be back."

Bonnie seemed to accept this and started to shut down. As his eye lights began to fade out Liam heard him say a small and hushed, "Thank you."

Liam softly smiled as he started to work on Bonnie's face.
