Friends and Enemies
Cordelia huffed as she exited the office. She couldn't believe how careless Liam was being. He even made a joke about the whole thing. The guy was cool, and all she wanted from him was for him to get out by 12. She really didn't want such a nice guy's death on her hands.
She was so caught up in her thoughts as she rushed back to the office that she didn't notice the quickly approaching form. Her life flashed in front of her eyes when she felt two animatronic arms wrap around her harshly. The animatronic screech rung in her ears as everything started to move so fast that she couldn't keep up.
Suddenly she felt herself fall from the tight grip and lightly on the floor. Her eyes didn't look to her capturer. They were glued to the animatronic suit in front of her. It consisted of part from Toy Freddy's model and Toy Bonnie's model. It looked creepy, but she had no time to thoroughly examine it since she was abruptly picked up and spun around.
Bright blue eyes accented with purple eyeshadow were looking her over as Cordelia stood dumbly. Toy Chica was giving her a good look over before the chicken turned to a smirking bunny. He was leaning on a wall close to Cordelia.
"Bon," Toy Chica chirped angrily. "You sent her into shock. She must have thought you were someone else!"
"Her expression was priceless though," he snickered before seeing the scared look that was stapled to her face. Her eyes were wide and rimmed with tears that wouldn't fall. Her expression was frozen in a state of terror..
"That was rude, ass!" Toy Chica chastened as she slapped the bunny across the face. He glared murderously at the female, but she ignored it. "Why are you so stupid? Seriously if you and Fred didn't have me around to think for you, everything would be more chaotic than it already is. Just look at her."
The blue bunny felt his stomach twist when he took in the girl's upset form. She was still trembling slightly. She had really thought she was about to die. He walk over to her and forced her into a hug. She flinched and tried to get away, but he held her still.
"Listen," he cued in the most soothing voice he could muster. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you this bad. I won't let anyone hurt you. Remember what I said yesterday? You are mine; therefore, I'll take care of you. Only I am allowed to hurt you, and currently I don't want to."
Cordelia had the urge to ask him if he ever would like to hurt her. She had indeed been frightened by her near death scare, but the reason she was still stuck in the distraught state was because the fast moving and elevation of her heart rate had sent her artificial arm and leg system into a tantrum with the rest of her body. Pain was the reason she was standing stupidly not Toy Bonnie's scare. She had half expected to be him anyway, but she did appreciate his concern.
She sighed and leaned her head against the animatronics shoulder. "It's alright. I would like for you not to do that again."
Toy Bonnie pulled away and rolled his eyes exaggeratedly. "If you absolutely think I should, I'll consider it."
The two had forgot about Toy Chica being in the room until Toy Bonnie got another slap to the back of the head. "No, no, no, no! You are not doing this right at all, Bonbon."
"Well please tell me what I'm doing and why I'm wrong," he demanded as he drew closer to the chicken. He glared feverishly at her.
"Well-" the animatronic started and went to explaining. Cordelia didn't stick around to hear this. Without much effort, she eased out of the backstage area. This would not have been a problem if someone wasn't waiting for her when she got out.
"Looks like somebody be in the wrong place," the pirate fox called out. "Ye might just have to walk the plank."
The night guard gave no reply as her first instinct was to flee from the fox. She bolted to the right to try and get back to the toys since she figured that would keep her safe for a moment at least. That plan was thwarted when she ran right into a purple chest. She looked up to see red eyes looking down at her.
"Looks like someone isn't in a suit, Foxy," he taunted despite the look he held that hid a small, 'I'm sorry.' Bonnie did not like the night guard. Maybe if he got to know her, he would. For now though, he wasn't her biggest fan. She had embarrassed him, and he was more or less over that. The purple bunny didn't like what was going on between her and his counterpart; he knew if it did end well, a great deal of frustration would come from it first. For example, himself and the other older models getting locked in the parts and service room with Balloon Boy too often. He felt sorry for what he was about to do mainly because of the fact Liam liked her, and the boy would be upset.
Foxy was not over how she punched him. He would happily kill her without thinking and hope Liam forgave him later. He was being rash with his feelings. The fox would deal with reactions when they came. He hadn't given one thought to Liam's potential reaction or the repercussions it would get from a certain blue bunny.
"Ye be right," the fox confirmed as he shifted so Cordelia had no way to escape them. She shuffled as far away from them as she could and tried to find an escape route then an idea popped into her head.
Foxy was baring his sharp teeth. As soon as he was about to lunge she ripped off all of her shirts but one in a swift motion. She tore every single other one but it had stunned the two attackers. There eyes were attached to the metal arm.
"Well," Bonnie hummed as his killer instinct died in him. "That is different."
"What be this trick?" Foxy questioned heatedly. "My systems be not fooled by the mask. What is this?"
"My arm," she replied simply as she waited anxiously for their next move.
"I guess I'll be leav-" Bonnie started to say as he turned around but was cut off by the pirate.
"Wait, Bonnie," he said. "Stay. Help me stuff the lass in a suit. I still want to."
The purple bunny sighed and turned back to the guard before he was effectively kicked aside by a pissed blue bunny. Since Bonnie is bigger, this normally would not have worked; however, he was not expecting it so he was moved just enough for Toy Bonnie to get by and stand by the girl.
"Nope," he stated darkly. "She is not yours to play with."
"Ye can't tell me what to do," Foxy raged. "You, girly sea scum."
Bonnie had recovered quickly and stepped between the inraged fox and the now more furious blue bunny. He spoke to his friend, "Foxy, calm down for a minute. Think this through. Do you really want to pick a fight with him. All the toys," he paused for a moment before continuing, "minus Balloon Boy would side with him. We would be in a war of sorts if you killed her now, and we don't have to."
The red foxy still looked unconvinced. "Think of how we would feel if he killed Liam like he is programmed to at night; you would be mad, but if he killed Liam when he didn't have to, it would be different. You would hate him. Wouldn't you?"
Foxy lost some of his motivation, but still looked angry. "You are right. I like the Liam lad. He helped us. What has the lass here done?"
Cordelia stepped forward in that moment. She pushed past both bunnies and stood in front of the fox. Her stance was firm and her eyes only showed a small hint of wariness as she stood determinedly.
"I have an idea," she voiced slowly. "I hit you. Just hit me back. That would make us even. Then we can start over. I know I haven't done anything for you, but I hope you can forgive me for my lapse in judgment; It happens a lot."
His yellow gaze watched her hardly. Both bunnies watched him cautiously as he got closer to her and raised his non-hooked hand. She closed her eyes tight; her pain tolerance was pretty high, but she still figured it would hurt pretty bad since he was a robot. Then she felt a light tap on the top of her head.
Her pale eyes peeked open to the fox looking down at her lightly. All the anger was gone now and replaced with a look of forgiveness and a hint of shame. "I forgive ye, lass. Just watch yer self a bit more. I apologize for my rashness as well. Let's start over."
She smiled smally and lifted her metal hand out to him. "Alright. Hello, I am Cordelia Lowell."
He took her hand and shook it firmly. "I be the best pirate on all seven seas. Foxy the Pirate."
From the hall they both heard clapping and saw Chica applauding joyfully at the two's make up. Freddy was also there, and he seemed to look pretty proud that Foxy had made such a good decision.
"Well," he said calmly. "I best be off now that no one is breaking the rules and needs to walk the plank."
She gave him a small nod as he sashayed over to Freddy and Chica. Bonnie followed suit and simply raised a hand to gesture his leaving. Within seconds they were all gone. The only two left on the stage were Toy Bonnie and her.
"That was stupid," he commented.
"Nothing bad happened," was her counter.
"It could have," he mumbled harshly before sighing. "But, whatever. Since you are okay, I will drop it." He then grinned broadly. "You know you should admit I have won. Foxy and Bonnie would have killed you right then before you could have put on your little show if I hadn't showed."
"It wasn't a little show. I meant it," she retorted. "Plus if you go on that logic. Liam should hand himself over to me. I have saved him several times. Just like-" she stopped mid-sentence. She shouldn't reveal he was at the pizzeria.
"Like?" he questioned.
She thought quickly. "I saved him from walking out into traffic just today. This morning."
"Really?" he asked oddly as if he didn't quite believe it. He was tired of the conversation so he decided to move on. "So, sweetheart, would you like to come hang out with Marion and me?"
"Sure," she said as she kicked at none existent dirt on the ground.
They were both about to head off when a raspy voice spoke out to them. "No need to go to the Prize Corner. I am here. Since no one is winding that box, I'm perfectly free to roam about."
"Nice," Toy Bonnie commented. "But we really have nothing to do here or anywhere in here."
Cordelia stared at the tall puppet and bunny, and her curiosity got the best of her. "What do you guys do for fun?"
Both looked at her. Toy Bonnie casually answered, "During the day I make the children happy by playing my guitar. I do that sometimes at night, but generally I do my best to capture the guard and put him into the proper company wear."
"I have to try and get out of the music box," the puppet said boredly.
She had no clue how to respond to their past times so she decided to carry on to a new conversation. Her mind was trying to find something to do then she remember she had some cards in the car.
"Hey!" she exclaimed. "I have cards in my car!" She didn't wait for a reply before she just shot out the door to the car. Both made their way to the door. They looked out longingly. Toy Bonnie reached out hesitantly as if thinking to push the door open and go out. Marionette's claw like animatronic hand wrapped around the blue bunny's hand before he could.
"It's too dangerous," he stated simply. "We don't know what will happen."
Toy Bonnie's deep green eyes shallowed in the melancholiness of their situation. He would love to leave the pizzeria at least once, but they had no clue what would happen if they stepped foot out of it.
All of that disappeared though once the night guard returned with a smile on her face and a pack of cards in her hands. The animatronics both grinned at her as they went to a table to play. A blue arm made its way around Cordelia's shoulder as they all sat, and she shuffled the card. A small delighted smile appeared on her face.
The puppet stared at the two with black blank eyes before he started to comment, "So you to are..." He trailed off to leave his statement as a question. The bunny grinned widely as he pulled the guard to his light blue chest. Her cheeks heated to match her company's rosy red cheeks while she bit her lower lip nervously, and her pale green eyes averted from the nosey animatronic.
"Yes," the blue bunny stated firmly and proudly to his friend. He leaned in and kissed her head softly and gained a snicker from the puppet. Cordelia only blushed harder.
With her face still apple red, she cleared her voice and struggled to get out of the bunny's grip enough to grab the cards. Her voice then clearly but nervously asked, "So you guys know how to play bull crap."
