Fredbear jolted awake when his A.I. informed him he was fully charged and his internal clock showed it was after midnight. He lifted his head and looked up. He blinked when he found the lights on and two animatronics in front of him. One was his golden version and the other was a rabbit. The rabbit's fur was golden as well but a shade darker than his partner's. Both of the golden animatronics looked at him curiously as his system started to activate after a long time shut down.
When Fredbear was positive his A.I. and processors was working correctly he looked at the two golden animatronics. They looked…nervous? Was that the correct emotion? He saw them glance at each other for a moment before looking back at him. Fredbear's replacement then started to speak.
"I don't know who you are but…can you help us? Please?" Fredbear's golden counterpart spoke quietly, as if afraid of what Fredbear would do if he spoke to loudly. Fredbear looked at the bear before glancing at the rabbit. Who was standing a little farther back.
"How long?"
"What?"
"How long has it been since the last time we spoke?"Fredbear's voice was glitchy and hard to understand.
"Oh, uh…six months? Maybe a year?" His golden counterpart scratched his head, trying to remember the exact amount. The rabbit rolled its eyes before talking to Fredbear himself.
"We need you to tell us if there was a previous restaurant and what happened there." Fredbear tilted his head at the two animatronics. They shouldn't know anything about his diner. That happened long before these animatronics were even blue prints.
"Why? Aren't you happy how you are now?"
"Just tell us you piece of scrap!" The rabbit took a threatening step closer but the golden bear stopped him.
"Calm down Springy. We need information but we won't be able to get any if you hurt him, he can barely function as it is." Fredbear's ears twitched and he slowly started to get up, just to prove that he was not a useless piece of junk. The other two backed away, watching him cautiously. When Fredbear was at his full height he moved each of his limbs slowly, to get his servos running properly. Fredbear only made it a few feet when he collapsed onto the ground again, his endoskeleton was too rusty from misuse to support his weight anymore.
Surrendering to his fate of never leaving this room again Fredbear analyzed his room now that the light was on. It was smaller than he expected but that may have been because of all the boxes against the walls. Some of the boxes were open and some were closed and caked in dust. The rabbit, Springy, went to the closest one, which was already opened and pulled out a poster. He walked back and shoved it at Fredbear, who took it.
The poster had stains on it, from what, Fredbear wasn't sure but they were dark and covered most of the poster. The only letters visible on the top of the poster was FRED NER and all you could see of the picture in the middle of the poster was Fredbear holding a mic and his guitar strap was barely visible. In his other hand you could only see the top part of Cupcake's candle. Fredbear gently pressed his finger to Cupcake's 2-D flame, hoping that an annoyed Squeak! would scold him for trying to douse its flame. But no sound came and Fredbear's ears drooped. He realized the other two animatronics were staring at him, still waiting for an answer.
"Tell me what happened that made you two decide to open two locked doors you are probably not allowed to go through and turn me on." Realizing he was plugged into his charger Fredbear unplugged himself and saw the rabbit take another step closer.
"We're the ones asking questions here, you-"
"Will you excuse us for a moment? My friend is not usually this rude, I promise." Fredbear's replacement dragged his partner towards the door but stopped right in front of it. Fredbear looked again at the poster created in happier times. Unwillingly Fredbear could hear the two animatronic's not-so-quiet conversation.
"-shouldn't have turned him on! I know you always said that he helped you when you first woke up but something about this guy is wrong Fredbear. He's keeping something from us."
"Springy please! You heard that new employee trying to open the door that lead down here! He was trying to get this…other animatronic, I'm sure of it! And remember what we found in the box we opened while we waited for him to charge? He was made before us!"
"As if! You and I both know you were the first one built Fredbear, Daniels said so."
"Then who is he? And why was he shut down in the basement?"
"Because, I have to find someone." Fredbear cut into their not-so-secret conversation. They both looked at him surprised.
"How did you know what we were saying? You shouldn't have been able to understand us. We were on a different frequency," Springy said suspiciously.
"A what?"
"A different frequency," his golden version tilted his head curiously at Fredbear. Then he decided to start explaining.
"When we talk with any of the children or employees we speak on Frequency 1, or F1, which has the usual recordings they want us to play and a few words that we can use to communicate with the children when they want to talk to us. When we want to talk to only each other we use Frequency 2, or F2, when you spoke to us you were using a frequency we had never heard before, which we named Frequency 3. We were just talking in F2 so we didn't think you could understand us. But it seems you can understand the other frequencies but can only communicate in F3."
Fredbear nodded, understanding what the other bear said…to an extent.
"We don't use F2 around the employees or children. I couldn't understand you the first moment when I woke up, once I understood what you were saying I tried to talk in the same frequency you were using, but you disappeared just like a phantom. And because humans only understand F1 I couldn't ask our mechanic about you," Golden Fredbear explained.
"Your mechanic, is his name Daniels?"
"So you do know more than you are telling us!" Springy accused.
"No, you mentioned his name before, remember? What is the name of your new employee?" Fredbear turned to his replacement, feeling worn out from the rabbit's accusations.
"Hey! Don't ignore me!"
"We don't know his full name but we've heard the other employees call him Guy. That is also all his name tag says."
"I see." Fredbear was slightly happy to recognize at least one name, Violets wasn't here though. Where could he be? Hopefully being punished for what he did to Alfred. But who was this new employee that was trying to get in the basement?
"What's your name, scrap metal?" the rabbit apparently couldn't handle being in silence for so long. Fredbear could understand that, it was very similar to how a child would act and how he used to be.
"You can call me Fred, and you two are named Fredbear and Springy?"
"Hey- don't call me Spri-"
"Yes, my name is Fredbear and this is my guitar player, Spring Bonnie. And this is where we work, well upstairs that is."
"What is this place called?"
"Fredbear's Family Diner, our most popular product is our pizza and-" Fredbear started
"And before you switch to F1 and bore everyone to death, we need to go back upstairs. It's almost 6. The janitor and chef should be here soon," Springy started pushing Fredbear out the door and Fredbear-no, Fred, watched them leave.
An uncomfortable emotion started to build inside Fred, one that seemed familiar, the same emotion he felt when he first saw the new Fredbear and a different one. His newer, brighter and better replacement…and Fred missed his old life, the one his replacement now has. The…emotion? Was not a good one, he could tell that much, what would Alfred call it? Anger? Sadness? Fredbear didn't know but he didn't like having 'emotion' it was a nasty feeling. It might make him do something to his replacement.

What did y'all think of that? This is actually a completely different chapter than I originally typed out. There are similarities but it's mostly different. That's why it took a little longer to upload than I thought.
Now, remember this is just my take on the story, some of the clues from the minigames and other things might be ignored for plot reasons, so don't start yelling at me plz!
Now, what do you guys think? Please leave a fav, follow or review. Or all three!
