The Burden of a Name

A/N: Another chapter in, don't worry the new guy will be getting some more screen time at some point, well if he doesn't get dismantled first. I own Larry, Crackers and that's about it for this one. Everyone else belongs to Scott Cawthon.

Toy Freddy sighed as they finished putting the eagle animatronic back together, "So I have a question…If you don't mind me asking?"

Freddy shook his head, "I don't mind, I'm sure after what you witnessed you have quite a few questions."

The toy bear nodded, "What caused Bonnie to snap like that? He's always been so kind and gentle to everyone. To see that kind of side, it's a little unsettling."

"Freddy!" Toy Chica jabbed, "We shouldn't let that change how we see him though!"

Chica nodded, "Half the time I forget that there is that dark side to him. Freddy should we tell them?"

The restored bear nodded putting a few tools away, "Bonnie wasn't always as much of a fighter as he is now if the time calls for it. It all started when he and I were introduced to Fredbear and Spring Bonnie. The introduction had a rough start as the older models didn't like us, and to be honest the feeling was quite mutual. One night when we were in a sleep mode the two decided to try and dismantle us. Bonnie had awoken when they were about to deactivate me permanently. I never knew just how determined that rabbit could be until he managed to attack both of them at the same time. However, it was in vain and they actually managed to dismantle him as I woke up."

"That's horrible!" Toy Chica looked upset.

Freddy nodded continuing with the story, "I did everything I could to put him back together. I can still recall the frustration and anger I held towards the older models for what they had done. What was even worse was the management believed them over the video proof of what they were trying to do. They were going to scrap him, but things turned around for us when Golden Freddy showed up. He helped me put Bonnie back together, and when that rabbit woke up he was angry when I told him about how the management handled things. It's like the gentle and caring rabbit I knew was gone, replaced by something that only wanted vengeance. Before I could stop him he had actually managed to tamper with the spring locks in the older models."

"That doesn't sound like him at all" Toy Freddy responded tapping his chin.

Chica nodded, "It was on the night that Foxy and I were introduced that really pushed him over the edge though. That night someone had actually broken into the place. They had doused us in gasoline intending to set us all on fire. Bonnie had activated in time to save us, but he was damaged beyond repair, and there were two dead robbers that had to be dealt with. The only thing they were able to salvage from his damaged body was his voice box and memory. The children loved him though so the company rebuilt him. When Bonnie came back to us, he was as gentle and kind as ever. If he was ever angered though, he became unusually aggressive. Freddy's been the only one who could calm him down until now."

Toy Chica looked down, "I almost pity anyone with the name now. It seems that no matter what through history one Bonnie or another is always suffering."

The other models nodded understanding what the toy chicken meant. Just as they were about to leave the room Larry had activated once more. Before the eagle could even open its mouth to insult one of the models Freddy promptly punched it in the head, "You've already crossed the line once, you better not do it again or else you'll become nothing but scrap."

"Easy there Bobo" Larry ducked another punch, "Fine whatever your name is! I don't want to be here either to be honest. This place will just kill my vibe, you guys are extremely dated."

Chica was the next one to hit the eagle, "You have a lot of nerve to say that! We hold a special place in the hearts of many children. We don't even know what the company was thinking when they ordered you!"

Meanwhile in another part of the building Bonnie listened from afar as Chica and Freddy tore the new animatronic to shreds with their words. His attention turned to the toy resting against him who appeared to have fallen asleep. He was proven wrong though as soon as he moved slightly Bon woke up and looked around, "Did I doze off?"

"You did" Bonnie replied.

Bon looked down, "Sorry, now back to what we were talking about."

"You really want to know don't you?" the lavender rabbit asked.

The blue one nodded, "I've never witnessed you being that aggressive, it doesn't seem like you. Then again I guess I don't have much room to talk seeing how I can manifest myself as a shadow still."

"That is very concerning you know" Bonnie sighed and looked up towards the ceiling, "It started back at Fredbear's. The two spring models had completely dismantled me since I got in their way of dismantling Freddy. The management didn't believe Freddy though, but in time he and Golden Freddy managed to put me back together. I started to fear this dark side of myself though after a certain night. Two people had broken in and doused us all with gasoline to destroy us. I managed to activate in time before they could burn the place down, but in the process I had accidently killed them. Since then I've been terrified to become too aggressive, I'm afraid that I'll kill again. That I'll become the monster they screamed of as I walked towards them engulfed in flames."

Bon looked up at the restored model shocked, "I had no idea….that's horrible, but it was an accident! You're not a monster though, and don't ever think otherwise! I don't get it, why is it anything that bears our name suffers?"

Bonnie looked towards the floor, "Because those who have gone through the most suffering, are the most gentle and understanding ones in a group. I've heard the stories of you jumping off stage during a show in order to comfort an upset child. I never did, but I often had children who were scared of the others run and hide behind me."

"SO I guess out of the group we're the approachable ones then?" Bon asked.

Bonnie nodded, "I guess that's one way to look at it now isn't it? Our legacy does go back to Spring Bonnie, and from what I've heard he was just as bad as we are. Though we seem to suffer, we're often the ones to keep a certain bear level headed at times."

"Me more so than you" Bon chuckled a little and returned to resting against the restored rabbit, "My Freddy, he was quite a pain in the beginning. I think Chica keeps him in line better than I do."

Bonnie held back a chuckle and started to rest against the wall, "Nothing is scarier than the wrath and scorn of an upset female. It's getting late I'm sure you're rather tired. Let's just rest here for the night."

The toy rabbit nodded and leaned against the restored rabbit allowing themselves to finally enter their sleep mode. Bonnie was right behind him as he started to fall asleep as well. Shortly after the two rabbits had fallen asleep Freddy had come to check on them. After he had placed the new animatronic in their place he had gone to check on everyone. He was glad to see that Foxy and Mangle had settled in their cove, Chica had returned to the show stage, while the toy counterparts of himself and Chica went to explore some more. The bear let a faint sigh and noticed that something was starting to crawl from Bon's body. The shadow looked at the bear and then vanished as if it were looking for something. Quickly the bear hurried to the office, "Mike pull up the cameras now!"

"Freddy, what's wrong?" Mike asked rather shocked to see the bear.

Freddy pulled the monitor up and noticed that Bon's shadow was moving through the building, "What is he looking for…"

"Is that Bon?" Mike asked looking at the monitor.

Freddy nodded, "There must be something going on."

Mike followed the shadow until it returned back to the room that Bon and Bonnie were resting in. The shadow then returned to its body only to cause Bon to jolt awake and nearly scare the restored rabbit. Something was troubling the restored bear, he would have to talk to Marionette and Golden about it later as 6 AM was already fast approaching. Returning to the show stage he watched as both animatronic rabbits returned to their spots on the stage. They would have a long day ahead of them since it would be Larry's first day in the pizzeria.

They weren't sure if they wanted to give him hell, or allow the children to decide his fate. Either way they knew they had a job to do, and it was one they were programmed to do well. As the place started to open they watched as Larry was placed on his stage with a rather large boom box to go with his theme. They also watched as another box was brought in, only to be surprised to see that they had created a counterpart for Balloon Boy. The boy animatronic seemed thrilled and the two became fast friends, which brought the restored bear some peace of mind. His attention went to the dining area in front of them, it was already starting to fill with children.

"Good morning, let the stress begin" Toy Freddy joked quietly causing the other to laugh slightly.
