Mangle POV

I had officially hit rock bottom. Not only had I been caught with Foxy and lost everything, but I had been stripped of the springs in my legs and locked inside kids cove, with only a vent that was to high up for me to get in. I didn't even have Furrball with me. I felt powerless and worse yet Foxy was still out there, with no place to sleep and with the toys hunting him down. I was sitting in the corner, a crying mess, because I thought I would never see the man I loved again, that is until I heard a familiar voice call to me from the vent. The voice of my star-crossed love himself.

Foxy: "She speaks! Oh speak again bright angel! For thou art as glorious to this night, being over my head, as is a winged messenger of heaven unto the white-upturned wondering eyes of mortals that fall back to gaze on him, when he bestrides the lazy -pacing clouds and sails upon the bosom of the air!"

he came to see me...

Mangle: "oh Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn by my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet"

As soon as I said that Foxy ran over to me and hugged me tightly. I in return hugged him back just as tight, as if I hadn't seen him in a thousand years, mostly because that's what it felt like.

Foxy: "I wasn't quoting Romeo and Juliet lass, I was just describing your beauty"

Mangle: "shut the hell up and kiss me you stupid fox!"

with a smile Foxy brought his hook up and wiped a tear off my face, a symbol of our love coming from the day we met. He then slowly leaned in and kissed me passionately. The world seemed to fade away as we kissed, leaving only the two of us. For a moment my problems seemed to fade away as well, and only having this moment matter. However after a moment I pulled away and looked away from him, my eyes beginning to well up again. Foxy looked at me, concerned and confused, and raised his hook to my face slowly.

Mangle: "you shouldn't have come here for me...you've put your life in danger for me...I'm not worth it, you should just go!"

Foxy: "don't sell yerself short lass, you are worth much more than my life! I love you and because of that I had to come back for you!"

I reached up and grabbed his hook. Grabbing the other hand I brought them both down to his lap and looked him in the eye. He stared back into my eyes.

Mangle: "Foxy...I love you, but I can't let you hurt yourself for me...please just go"

Foxy: "I can't. I've come here for a reason other than seeing you my love"

Foxy stood up and then helped me up. Holding both my hands he looked into my eyes again.

Foxy: "I love you, and I'll fight for our love as long as I can, but I need a promise that we'll be by each other's side forever. That's why I came here lass. I needed to ask you a question"

Foxy then got down on one knee, causing me to gasp. He reached into his pocket and produced a small black box. He opend the box to reveal a golden ring with a diamond attached to it in the shape of a pouncing fox. My eyes welled up even more, this time with joy.

Foxy: "Foxina J. Fox, your beauty is matched only by the stars woven into the heavens above. To be paired with such a beautiful creature is a blessing I do not deserve, but one which I treasure. Will you marry me?"

My eyes were by now like little waterfalls. I hugged him tightly, not intending to ever let go.

Mangle: "YES! Of course I'll marry you Foxy!"

with a smile Foxy slipped the ring on my finger and kissed me passionately once again. He then grabbed a pirate hat from my costume trunk and put it on. He put one foot up on the nearby shelf in order to seem more dramatic.

Foxy: "it's settled then. I have to go up to the roof to finish preparations for our wedding. I'll come back for you in an hour my love. 'Till then just hang tight"

With that, Foxy left. I sat down and looked at the ring on my hand, still processing what just happened. I was overwhelmed with joy. All of my problems seemed to fade away again, as I knew that Foxy would end them by fighting for our love until the others gave in. I felt as if I was in paradise...until I was snapped out of it by the door behind me unlocking and creaking open. I froze, expecting my so called friends to come in to check on me and then notice the ring. I soon felt my feline companion Furrball rub against me, happy to see me again. I was about to take the ring off and hide it, when I heard the voice of a monster standing behind me.

Springtrap: "how very touching. The valiant hero returns for his girlfriend, asks to marry her and fight for her then promises to return within an hour for her"

Mangle: "you"

Springtrap: "it's a shame that he won't be returning any time soon"

As soon as he said that I stood up, grabbed my sword and pointed it at him.

Mangle: "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN!? Foxy loves me! He wouldn't leave me here!"

Springtrap smirked. He then put a finger on the blade of my sword and lowered it.

Springtrap: "I'm sure he would sweetheart, if he had a choice in the matter, but I'm afraid he doesn't"

I raised my sword again, this time pointing it directly in his face.

Mangle: "why doesn't he!?"

Springtrap: "because I told your friends and his about his plan to marry you. They're both waiting on the roof to ambush him, and neither one knows the other group is there"

Mangle: "no..."

Springtrap: "also, I took the liberty of disturbing an old friend of mine. This friend is very grumpy when he gets woken up, and he's way more powerful than any of us so when he gets woken up by all the ruckus he'll be so pissed he may end up killing Foxy!"

upon hearing this I froze. I dropped my sword and sat down, grief-stricken. I had sent Foxy into a death trap by agreeing to marry him. I began crying into my hands again, on my knees. I was heartbroken, and afraid of losing him. Suddenly I felt a cold metallic hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Springtrap giving me an evil smirk. As if to say "I finally got you".

Springtrap: "my dear Mangle, there is a way to save Foxy..."

Before he even took his next course of action I knew what he was going to say. He once again reached into his pocket and took out the same ring from before, holding it up to show me. Furrball hissed as soon as he saw it but I held him back with my arm, knowing him attacking would only make things worse.

Springtrap: "I know how to stop my friend. Agree to marry me and not that insufferable fox, and Foxy lives. Choose not to marry me, and he dies without you by his side"

Mangle: "...why me...? Why do you choose to torment me? What have I done to you...? What could drive you to such monstrous acts?"

Springtrap: "I have my reasons. As for why you, when I rule this place I'll need a queen, and the other 2 won't do"

Mangle: "you're a monster"

Springtrap: "will you marry me or not Foxina?"

I stared at the ring, tears flowing down my cheeks. I felt so trapped, and so conflicted. I wanted to save Foxy, because he meant the world to me, but I couldn't marry a man I didn't love, no matter how much power they promised me. I saw no way out, but I had to make a decision. Do I save Foxy and lose the chance to marry him, or refuse to marry Springtrap and helplessly loose the man I love. My heart was racing. Foxy's life was in my hands, but if I saved him I would end up breaking his heart, and I would enable this evil monster. "what can I do?" I thought to myself. "There's no way out, but I have to do something or Foxy will die".

Foxy POV

One hour. One hour and me and my beloved Mangle would be in each other's arms again, and my plan would be set in place. As soon as we were married we would lock ourselves on the roof away from the toys and originals, and live together on the roof, only coming down when it's necessary. I couldn't help but feel like a child on Christmas as I walked around the roof preparing for our wedding. I rolled out a red carpet leading to an alter I had built including flowers all around it as decorations. As soon as I was done laying down the carpet I started fixing any askew flowers in the arrangement. As I thought of what life would be like after the wedding I couldn't help but feel so giddy with excitement, so uncharacteristically alive, so...much like someone was watching me...

I grabbed a rose from the arrangement and hid it in my pocket before turning around quickly.

Foxy: "WHO'S THERE!?"

As soon as I said that both teams of animatronics came out of their hiding spots. The toys standing to my left, and my friends standing to my right. And both of them were obviously pissed off.
