The Company Party
A/N: Since it is that time of the year I've decided to spread some holiday cheer by dedicating this to the holiday season, and possibly the next one as well. I only own Morgan, Faye, Crackers, and Larry (who is not dearly missed). Everyone else belongs to Scott Cawthon. Enjoy everyone!
The animatronics watched as Jeremy and a few other employees started setting things up for a small company party that they would be having. Faye and Morgan had taken special interest in a person that was dressed up in a red suit. Foxy had wanted to tell the two that they most likely wouldn't be allowed to see Santa, but Mangle had other ideas. Freddy watched from the stage figuring that just like years before he and the others would have to act lifeless around the rest of the staff. Quietly he turned to the others who looked to be in the same dismal spirit as he was.
"Alright everyone gather around!" Jeremy called getting up on the show stage, "We're doing something different this year that completely breaks company protocol. As many of you know when our doors close for the night Freddy and the gang continue to move and act on their own. Just like us they are also valued employees here, and therefore I'm inviting each one of them to join us in the festivities tonight!"
"Jeremy, have ye lost it lad?" Foxy asked from Pirate's Cove.
The man shook his head, "I haven't Foxy. Besides I'm sure the little ones would love to sit on Santa's lap just like all the other kids here."
"Jeremy…" Chica was at a loss for words.
The man shrugged, "I can't take all the credit. You guys owe a certain guard big time."
"Mike!" the toy models called and instantly jumped on the night guard.
Freddy and the others chuckled, "Thank you, Mike. We owe you and Jeremy a great deal for allowing us to move freely tonight."
"You're welcome" Mike groaned as the Toy's got off him, just as he turned around he was greeted by Bonnie, "I swear if you-"
Bonnie shook his head and helped the guard up, "Thank you, Mike. You too Jeremy we owe you."
The two men nodded and soon the other employees started talking to the animatronics rather surprised that they could think on their own and hold a conversation. What shocked Freddy and the others though was Marionette coming from their box and Golden Freddy joining them. Everyone was rather shocked to see that the puppet was able to float on their own.
"I knew that thing was always thinking" a certain employee mentioned.
Marionette looked at them, "I am well aware you never liked me, but I don't understand why. I only wanted to keep everyone safe, including the toy models just as any parent would do. Surely you'd understand wouldn't you?"
"U-Uh…r-right of course." The employee then noticed Golden Freddy at Marionette's side, "Uhhh Hello."
"So you're the one we've often heard when you made those calls. Good to finally have a face to go with the voice. Mari let's go I believe they are starting to dance." Golden pulled the puppet with him.
Mike watched contently as a small group of employees were dancing and had taken notice that Bonnie and Bon were the ones playing the music. Each one of the rabbits had replaced their usual guitar with an acoustic version. Both were just gently strumming at the strings and playing familiar Christmas songs that they had heard over the years. Part of the guard wished that perhaps they would come down and dance as well, but with who? Jeremy walked up next to him and chuckled slightly, "Those two, they have a knack for music."
"They do, I feel kinda bad for them out of everyone they always seem the loneliest." Mike responded.
Jeremy nodded, "Freddy tried to get two models made for those two, but Bonnie turned it around on him and instead got Foxy and Mangle the help they needed in Pirate's Cove. I want to believe that as long as Bonnie has Bon to look after he may not be interested in anything else. That toy rabbit means the world to him."
"Think it goes both ways?" Mike asked.
Jeremy nodded, "I wouldn't doubt it. Bon is someone who would do anything for anyone, but if it comes to Bonnie he'd go even further even if it meant upsetting him. Those two just seem to have a bond that can't be broken no matter what. A lot of that became evident to me when Bon had searched desperately for Bonnie's face."
"Bonnie lost his face?"
"Let me tell you, that image still haunts me…Imagine Bonnie as he is now a lot more worn down, cuts in the fabric, missing his left arm and the top part of his face is just gone. All you see is the endoskeleton face with the lower jaw still attached…. I don't think I'll be sleeping well tonight." Jeremy grimaced.
Mike looked at the former guard, "That traumatic?"
"Very much so. I don't mention it often since I know it still bothers Bonnie a great deal that he's managed to actually give a grown man nightmares." Jeremy responded and then went about the crowd talking to other employees and the animatronics.
The guard continued to watch as the people around him enjoyed the party, and how even the animatronics were having a good time. Foxy and Mangle watched as Faye and Morgan ran around with several other kids, almost beaming like the proud parents that they were. Toy Freddy and Chica were still dancing together almost like they were lost in their own world. The restored Chica and Freddy returned to the show stage and much against Bonnie's protests he and Bon were kicked off the stage.
"I'll get even Freddy" Bonnie responded playfully and helped Bon up, "Well shall we enjoy ourselves?"
The toy rabbit nodded, "I have no objections then, what should we do?"
"We'll find something" Bonnie responded and pulled the toy rabbit along with him.
The two rabbits were instantly swarmed with children who wanted to play with them which was something the two weren't used to. Before long the two were playing various holiday themed games. Faye and Morgan quickly joined in as well enjoying the company of the children. They started to settle down for a game of musical chairs Bonnie decided to sit the game out due to his size but encouraged Bon to play with the others. The toy rabbit nodded and soon was having a fun time with the other children, but eventually lost and took his place next to his brother, "You should have played too it would have been fun!"
"I would have broken the chair Bon." Bonnie responded gently.
Before the toy could say anything Jeremy got back up on the stage and told the children that Santa was now ready to listen to the children's requests for Christmas. He also explained that if the children celebrated another holiday he would work with all the greats of the holiday season to ensure the children's wishes were heard. Faye and Morgan were instantly in line with the other kids, and to everyone's surprise so were Balloon Boy and Balloon Girl.
"What would you like?" The Santa asked the two Balloon children.
Balloon Boy looked to Balloon Girl and nodded, "We want everyone to have a safe holiday season, and that the kids have a lot of fun. We also made this for you Santa."
Balloon Girl then held out a balloon that had reindeer frolicking in the snow, "We made it ourselves."
"Why thank you." Santa smiled and set the Balloon next to him.
The two nodded and left returning back to playing with the children that had already had the chance to speak with Santa. Faye and Morgan waited their turn much to Foxy's surprise, he had figured the two would have gone in to a full sprint to cut to the front of the line. Turning to Mangle he could tell that perhaps she had something to do about it, "Mangle, did ye talk to them about not cutting in line?"
"I did, I told them it's not very nice, and that Santa doesn't deliver gifts to naughty children." Mangle responded gently, "I think that thought actually scared them."
They watched as the two smaller foxes told Santa what they wanted. Morgan wanted a toy ship that he could play with and share with the others that often visited the cove. Faye had other ideas and just simply requested a bow to match the one her mother wore, since she had found it to be quite beautiful. Santa nodded and would be sure to talk to his elves and see what he could do. As the children came and went from the line Bon had an idea, and wanted to see it through.
"Can I help you?" Santa asked the toy rabbit.
Bon nodded, "If you have the time Mr. Claus. I am sure you're a very busy man."
The elderly man chuckled, "My you certainly have good manners, tell me what is that you want for Christmas?"
"Thank you" Bon nodded, "I actually want something for my older brother. His guitar is starting to really show its age. I know he doesn't like to say much since he feels that the others deserve the attention more than himself. So what I really want is for him to finally get a new guitar. I know Toy Freddy's' hat is starting to go so I'm sure he'd like a new one at some point. Toy Chica, she's always been so kind to everyone and loves stuffed animals. I'm sure she'd be really happy if I could somehow find a plush of Toy Freddy. Mangle, she's been so happy since she's been restored and even more so now that she has two wonderful kits. I know she's been wanting some more props for Pirate's Cove, but hates to bother anyone about it. Foxy is the same way, but wants to find the fifth most beautiful piece of treasure since he already has the four most beautiful pieces in the world; his family. C-Can I keep going?"
"Of course" Santa smiled behind his glasses, "You certainly have a lot of friends."
Bon nodded, "I know Golden Freddy wanted to get a new box for Marionette, he's sad that the one they have is falling apart. Marionette also wanted to get Golden a new bowtie, and a lot more books for him to read to the children. BB and JJ I know they'd like to have more balloons at their disposal. That just leaves Freddy and Chica now. I'm sure Freddy would appreciate a new microphone since his has actually quit working. For Chica I know it's a small gesture but I know she's been having some trouble with her one servo but if it could be replaced it would make her day a lot easier…"
"What about you though? Don't you want anything?" Santa asked the toy rabbit as the others watched.
Bon shook his head, "I'm alive and here with my brother and my friends. That's all I could ever ask for. I just want to see everyone happy and enjoying themselves."
The old man nodded, "You have a good heart, Toy Bonnie. I'll see what I can to do to make things happen. In the mean time I do believe someone wants to speak with you."
Bon turned around only to be tacked to the ground by his friends. He was even surprised when Chica had pulled him up from the pile and pulled him into a hug. Apparently his mere words had moved everyone, even many of the humans were shocked to see that a mere animatronic rabbit had that much compassion. Marionette quickly floated over and pulled the toy rabbit into a hug, "I am very proud of you."
"Bon, thank you" Toy Chica hugged the rabbit once more, "We all only want one thing for you and Bonnie."
Toy Freddy stepped in, "Chic you and I both know that the reality of things is that if one of us needs something those two rabbits will make sure it happens. Honestly though don't you ever get lonely?"
"Not really" Bon responded jumping up onto Bonnie's back, "I have my friends and my big brother. What else do I need in life?"
"Maybe to lose a couple pounds, I think that holiday food is taking its toll" Bonnie teased throwing the toy over his shoulder.
Everyone started to laugh even Bon found humor in his brother's playful teasing. As the night continued the place started to get ready to close for the night. The building would be closed for Christmas so everyone could spend time with their families. Then after that they would be back on their regular schedule. Freddy and the group started to take over the clean-up encouraging everyone to go home and spend time with their families for the holiday season. Before long the animatronics had the place clean and had sent everyone but Mike and Leo on their way.
"Game night!" Crackers called as they shuffled a deck of cards, "Place your bets!"
Before long Mike and Leo settled down with the animatronics and started to play various card games. The company party had gone off without any problems, and the two animatronic kits hoped that somehow they would get what they wanted for Christmas. As the night wore on the two returned to their small rooms in Pirate's Cove and fell asleep. It gave Foxy and Mangle the perfect chance to lay out the two things their children had wanted. Mangle had carved a ship out of wood, and Foxy though with a lot of trouble had made a bow for Faye.
"They'll be happy when they wake up" Freddy sighed contently.
Balloon Boy nodded, "Wonder if the rest of us will get anything."
"Who knows" Golden shrugged as he won the hand.
Marionette tapped their chin and nudged the golden bear who nodded and excused themselves from the game. Within an instant the two vanished leaving everyone else confused. The others shrugged it off and continued to go about their games. Somehow without the two mysterious animatronics the rivalry between Freddy and Bonnie came back to light until the two were nothing but bare endoskeletons.
"Well that escalated quickly." Mike rubbed the back of his head.
Leon nodded, "Wonder who'll win."
"I dunno, hey Chica pass the popcorn please." Mike chuckled.
Chica nodded and handed the bucket over, "Told you when these two go at it things get interesting."
Freddy and Bonnie turned to Crackers, "Deal the final card!"
The parrot nodded and both Freddy and Bonnie fell back, their game had come to a draw. The two had mirrored hands in Diamonds and Hearts. Crackers dealt another card and in the end Freddy had won, but instead only kept his things and returned the others to Bonnie, "Call it a draw?"
Bonnie nodded, "A draw indeed. Oh my look at the time it's 6 AM already."
