Chapter 1: Getting Worse...

December 24

T he last day to catch the animatronics Christmas show had arrived. After this the restaurant would be closed for a whole week. The animatronics would be all by themselves for a while. They'd have a chance to take a breather before they also had to get back to work. They were definitely going to need a break after today's show. The restaurant was full! Right at this moment they were tired, but it was a good tired. The girls were up on the stage singing "All I Want for Christmas Is You". Freddy, Bonnie, Toy Freddy, and Toy Bonnie was warming up their voices backstage for the Christmas Caroling. Well they were playing around more than anything.

Foxy was in the corner watching them. He couldn't believe how much they were playing. He would practice with them, but he was about to perform the most popular part of the show. He looked at his reflection in a nearby mirror. His costume had a super upgrade this year. He wore a red and green pirate jacket. On his head he had a green pirate hat that had a holly on the front. On his shoulder was a parrot plushy that had its own eyepatch as well a red and white stripe scarf. The company wanted him to look more festive, but he hated it of course. It was like Christmas threw up on him. He scrunched his eyebrows at his reflection. Foxy was so busy mentally complaining about his appearance that he didn't realize that bears and bunnies had gone quiet.

" Okay, so we're going to try one final attempt to make you-know-who come out and celebrate Christmas'' Freddy Plotted

" How are you guys going to do that?" T.B asked, " For as long as we've been doing this Foxy has not complied"

"Well, it's been awhile since we've gotten Foxy a Christmas present because he always says don't bother. But this year we got him something that we know he will love. So, we hope that the idea that he has a present after all these years will make him come on out finally." Bonnie explained

" I Hope it works." Said Toy Freddy " You guys still don't know why he acts like this?"

Freddy and Bonnie shrugged and shook their heads.

"We have no clue, but he's been acting like this since Fredbear's closed down. See…" Freddy said in a low voice. He explained to the toys what happen.

Foxy had snapped out of his trance when he heard someone mumble his name. He noticed the others were quietly whispering amongst themselves. He was now listening to them. Foxy became angry. They were talking about him! What happened was His business not theirs. They wouldn't understand.

" So, you lads want to gossip about old foxy here?" He hissed

Everyone had a guilty look on their face, except for Freddy who quickly stepped up to explain.

" No, but we were talking about inviting you again to our party tonight"

" How many times do I have to say no!"

"Oh, come on it'll be fun! we promise." T.B said

"I prefer to celebrate Christmas in me own way, and that be FINAL!" Foxy said

" But we've got a surprise for you this time" Bonnie said

" I don't like surprises as I've said before don't bother giving me any gifts" Foxy was now steaming with anger and Freddy could see it.

" All right fine, Mr. Scrooge have it your way and be lonely on Christmas" He said calmly, but slightly annoyed " We'll leave you to it"

" Good" Foxy said still tift "Now come on 'fore the boss finds us back here. We'll all be shut down"

Bonnie and T.B looked at each other and walked behind Foxy.

"One day Foxy's going to see the light, I just hope he doesn't wait until he's down on his knees when that happens" Freddy said crossing his arms.

A few songs later….

"Fa la la la la la la la laaa!"The Animatronics were now wrapping up their final song.

" Alright everyone that concludes our show, feel free to grab an extra slice or two of pizza on you way out. Also, don't forget to get a balloon from BB and a goody bag from the Puppet. Good night everyone and have a safe Christmas!" Freddy said waving to the kids

They all yelled and waved at the robots. They ran over to Balloon boy who was giving out shiny red and green balloons that said, "Merry Christmas from Freddy Fazbear's" By the exit the puppet was giving the kids goody bags filled with little toys, coloring sheets, and candy.

Soon all the families were gone. The employees began to clean up for the holidays. Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy were all on the main stage in "off" mode. The toys were led to the parts and service room. They were going to stay at that location until the restaurants opened back up. After everyone pitched in the restaurant was clean in no time. All the lights were shut off and the place was now empty. Freddy came back to life followed by Bonnie, Chica, then Foxy.

Toy Bonnie peeped his head out of parts and service.

"Psst! All clear?" He whispered

"All clear!" Freddy said

"Yay! Party Time" Toy Chica said.

The Toys rushed out of parts and service. Freddy and Bonnie went back stage and came back with a secret stash of holiday decorations. Toy Chica and Toy Bonnie began to help them put up the decorations. Chica, Toy Freddy, and Mangle went into the kitchen to make pizza and other delicious snacks. Balloon boy and the puppet set up games and music. Foxy stood on the stage for a few minutes before growling and hopping off the stage. Freddy who was setting up a table took a minute to watch Foxy pass by. Foxy looked back at him. Freddy saw Foxy go "Humph" and turn his head. Foxy entered pirates cove and shut the purple curtains. Freddy sighed, shook his head, and returned to what he was doing.

"Finally, some peace and quiet" He sighed. His cove was nothing much. There were pirate stage props all over the place. Like waves, palm trees, and even a real looking pirate chest. The backdrop had a beautiful sun in the corner with clouds and birds. Foxy's favorite part was a part of a pirate ship that he could step up on. He loved it. Pirate's cove had gotten a major upgrade over the years. He climbed up the ship and sat down in the corner. He closed eyes hoping to get some rest. He was interrupted by loud Christmas music playing from outside the cove.

"Argh!" He groaned and rolled his eyes." how's a fox supposed to get some sleep around here"

"Hey Guys before we get started I have some news" Freddy said loudly

"Oh! What now!" Foxy said rolling his eyes and sighing. Foxy was curious though. He got up and stood near the curtains leaning into them slightly, so he could hear without being noticed.

"I heard today that Freddy's 2 was going to get a bonus from this seasons earnings" Freddy said

The Toys gasped. The others Cheered. Foxy's ears perked up a little higher.

"Wow, really…. did...did you hear why?" Toy Freddy asked

"Nope! But you guys totally deserve it"

The toys smiled at each other

"Forgive me for being nosie, but do you know how much?" Toy Chica asked

"More than half, like three fourths not sure how much that'd be but…."

"WHAT!" Foxy yelled and he immediately rushed out of the cove stomping furiously. The other bots looked Foxy in concern. What had gotten under his skin? He looked like steam was literally coming out of his ears. His face was fiery red.

" What do you mean their getting more money?" Foxy growled.

"Foxy not now!" Freddy said

"Oh no, right now is a perfect time, they almost have a whole half of it any way. They don't need more"

"Foxy please stop this, you'll hurt to the Toys' feelings" Chica said

Foxy shrugged " They don't look hurt to me" He said

" Foxy go back to your cove, you weren't interested in being out here before" Freddy Scolded " Now you come out to complain"

Foxy pouted. His temper was beginning to boil.

"Like it or not their going to get the bonus and you can't stop it. I mean come on we're animatronics we have no say in these things. They don't even know we have life, less known that we know about money. But all of us don't care about it, that is all except you. Why do love money so anyway? It's not like we get any of it." Freddy said

"It's not about whether we get money or not. Money brings happiness. We get customers, they give money, we stay open, everyone's happy!" Foxy said

"So why can't the toys have some of this "happiness" too?" Freddy asked

"I'm not concerned about them and their restaurant, this is about ours"

"That's just selfish! I'm sure we have more than enough, the boss wouldn't decide to do it if our restaurant would go lacking. Why can't we share? Christmas is about love and charity. If we have to give we give. There are so many people that are less fortunate than us. Why, some would rather die!" Freddy explained

"Than they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population." Foxy grouched

Everyone gasped. Foxy looked around. Everyone had a shocked look on their face. Toy Chica almost look like she was in tears. BB had his head down. Freddy looked embarrassed, but Foxy felt nothing.

" Go back to your cove Foxy" Freddy said very low trying not to go off on Foxy.

" Oh, now all of sudden you don't want me around now, Why?" Foxy said sarcastically with a smirk on his face.

" Because you have a PROBLEM, FOXY! You're selfish, you're mean, You're cold hearted. We care about you and want to help you, but NO! You're so caught up in your past that you can't seem to see the happiness of the present. You just can't seem to do that you, SCROOGE!" Freddy ranted.

Foxy had reached his anger point. He stormed toward the exit. The others watched him as he walked out into the cold weather and walked down the street.
