Peace
A/N: The second part of the two-part holiday thing I decided to do. I own only Faye, Morgan, Larry, and Crackers. Everyone else belongs to Scott Cawthon.
Everyone watched as Mike and Leo left and tried to decide what they would to do with their free day on Christmas. There was still no sign of Golden and Marionette which left both the restored and toy models rather uneasy. Foxy and Mangle returned to their cove to get some rest before Morgan and Faye would wake up. Freddy decided he was ready to try and take on his shadow form once more and sought help from Bon who was more than happy to be of assistance.
"Now remember abandon the feelings you have with that memory" Bon cautioned.
Freddy nodded trying to forget all the anger and sadness he felt as he recalled seeing everyone dismantled. Bon watched as Freddy's shadow emerged and stood there looking down at the ground, "Freddy, can you hear me?"
"So this is what it feels like when you're actually in control." Freddy looked up and looked at his hands, "It feels so surreal. Bon what all can I do when I'm like this?"
Bon looked down for a moment and let his shadow escape from under his own body, "I'll show you instead it'll be much easier."
Freddy nodded and watched as his and Bon's bodies fell to the floor, "Will they be alright?"
Bon nodded, "Yeah, okay so one of the things that we can actually do while like this is leave the building itself."
"Really?"
"Uh huh" Bon responded and phased outside of the building taking Freddy with him, "See?"
"This is rather new to me" Freddy admitted looking around, "Tell me when we're all resting…where do you wonder off?"
"I don't wonder off as much as I used to since it worries Bonnie, but I would always roam around the building to watch for any signs of Springtrap and Larry. If it weren't so far away I would go check out the warehouse and make sure the human workers are okay."
"There's a distance in how far we can go?"
"Yeah, the furthest I've been able to go is roughly about 20 miles from this location." Bon responded phasing them back into the building, "When we're like this we're also able to manipulate things around this. Watch."
Freddy watched as Bon jumped into his own body and moved it around much like a puppet. Bon noticing, he wasn't amused left his body and started to show Freddy the things they were capable of as shadows. The one Freddy found extremely interesting was that they were able to hide in the shadows of the others. They had come across Toy Freddy who had been cleaning up a little in one of the rooms. Freddy watched as Bon hid within Toy Freddy's shadow surprising both bears when he appeared once more and moved towards the wall.
"I can't help but think you were hiding in our shadows during your absence." Toy Freddy muttered.
Bon chuckled slightly, "I did at times when I wasn't playing with the kids."
"Who's shadow did you hide in the most?" Freddy asked curiously.
Bon shook his head, "Everyone's actually, I didn't want to play favorites though when I hid in Bonnie's I think he could tell and tried to be careful."
"So what else can you show me?" Freddy asked looking at the smaller shadow rabbit.
Bon looked at the bear, "If Springtrap returns as a shadow you and I are the only ones who could take him on since we can mimic the same abilities."
"I see" Freddy responded, "Well I did want to become a shadow so you wouldn't face him alone. If anything happened to you your brother would kill me, that I am sure of."
Bon nodded, "Well then let's test your combat and see what we can do since we know he'll eventually return."
Freddy nodded and soon braced himself as the toy shadow lunged at him, and was rather surprised at how fast Bon really was. He moved to the side and was thankful that the toy had managed to miss him this time around. Bon didn't stop though and was quite relentless in his attacks to the point where he had managed to push Freddy through the wall and back into the main room. Just as Freddy had phased through the wall Marionette and Golden had returned with several wrapped packages in their arms.
"Golden, Mari welcome back" Freddy nodded lifting his top hat.
Bon lunged at Freddy knocking him down, "Stay focused, if you're against Springtrap it's you or him. Which is it going to be?"
"Me, obviously" Freddy responded and threw the toy model back.
"Golden, Mari do you two need help carrying anything?" Bonnie offered ignoring the fact that his little brother had just been thrown through him, "Freddy, if you break him I'll break you."
"You'd probably enjoy it too!" Chica was heard from another room causing everyone to stare in that direction.
Freddy's jaw hung open, "I….I'm not even sure where to go with that."
"That makes two of us" Bonnie responded, "Now then you two didn't give me an answer."
"We wouldn't mind the help" Mari responded handing a few of the boxes to Bonnie, "Thank you, Bonnie."
The lavender rabbit nodded and followed the puppet to the backstage room curious to figure out what the puppet and golden bear had done. The golden bear followed the two towards the back room and set down two large boxes, "Bonnie, can you look at this and tell me what you think? Mari and I saw this and thought your brother may like it."
Bonnie watched as Golden Freddy pulled out a new guitar that was similar to the one he and Bon used now. It was a newer model but kept the same shape and color scheme. Picking it up he felt the weight and could tell it would be the right fit for his toy counterpart. He knew the rabbit claimed they didn't want anything, but he also knew better than to believe that. Feeling satisfied with what Golden had found for his brother he decided to go check on things and see how Freddy was getting along in his shadow form. He however was not expecting to find both Freddy and Bonnie torn to pieces as their shadows.
"What happened to you two?" Bonnie asked.
Freddy looked around, "We may have gotten too out of control?"
"I'd say" Bonnie sighed, "Bon can you pull yourself together?"
"Sure, just get my hand out from under Freddy's rear" Bon responded as he started to phase back together, "that's also another nice advantage."
"I can see this" Freddy uttered as he started to attempt the same thing as Bon, "I have to keep practicing."
"You'll have time" Bon responded.
Freddy shook their head, "They're set to return back here tomorrow. That also means you know who will most likely be there as well."
Freddy then took notice of how everyone had gathered around the main room as he started to return to his body. Chica came up and pulled him into a hug, as almost to assure him that even if Springtrap returned he wouldn't be facing it alone. The restored bear looked to the toy rabbit that had returned to their usual self, "When he comes back, we're all in this together. The last thing we need is you trying to take him on by yourself. You sense even a circuit of him say something."
Bon nodded as Toy Freddy and Chica approached him, "The same goes for you as well Freddy. You're just as bad as we are when it comes to doing too much on your own."
"What be all the noise about?" Foxy asked coming from his cove, "I missed something didn't I?"
"Nothing major" Freddy responded, "Are Faye and Morgan close to waking up? I can't help but think that two certain bots decided to play Santa."
"Would we do that?" Marionette asked crossing their arms, "We merely did it so the children wouldn't be confused or upset."
"Uh huh, sure" Toy Freddy responded, "Thank you though. We should wait till everyone is up."
Everyone nodded and noticed that Mangle appeared from the cove with Faye and Morgan at her side. The two small foxes looked confused and held their heads to the side until Foxy pulled them both up into his arms, "Well now that the little ones are up, what do you say Freddy?"
The restored bear nodded, "Morgan, Faye did you two check around the cove yet?"
The two shook their head, "We haven't. Why?"
"Well go look" Foxy encouraged pulling Mangle to him, "Santa may have left something."
Everyone watched as the kits looked through the cove and both came out holding something that they had treasured. Morgan held up his ship proudly claiming he would start his own crew and be the best pirate ever. Meanwhile Faye looked at the bow Foxy had made for her and held it up to the older animatronic fox, "Can you help me put it on?"
"Of course" Foxy responded and gently placed the bow next to one of Faye's ears, "Ye look just like your mother, sweet, innocent, and beautiful."
"Yet not afraid to take action either" Faye responded chasing after Morgan and then stopped, "What about everyone else? Didn't Santa give you guys anything?"
"He tends to focus on children more dear" Mangle responded patting her head.
Morgan was about to say something until Golden appeared with a large bag of wrapped gifts. The golden bear turned towards his restored and toy counterparts who nodded and started passing out the boxes amongst everyone. Marionette watched contently as the last boxes were passed out and stood next to Golden Freddy handing them a small box, "I found this for you, I hope you like it."
Golden opened the box and pulled out new hat and tie, "Mari thank you, you didn't have to though!"
"I want to spoil my teddy at times too you know. I also found a lot more books for the children I just have them hidden fore now." Marionette responded and watched the others.
Much to everyone's surprise everything that Toy Bonnie had suggested had been delivered causing Morgan and Faye to believe in Santa even more. Chica looked elated when she unwrapped a whole new set of servos to replace the ones that were starting to go. Mangle was happy to see more props for Pirate's Cove and Foxy was already thinking of where to put them. Freddy was already testing out the new microphone he had received and Toy Freddy had already switched out his worn attire with his new hat and bowtie. Toy Chica nearly cried in happiness as she unwrapped a stuffed plush of Toy Freddy and herself holding hands. BB and JJ were happy to see that they were given more balloons to give to the children. They now even had character balloons which had prints of the entire Fazbear gang on them. Foxy chuckled slightly as he opened a small box and noticed it contained a diamond cut gem. With a little work he managed to set it into a bracelet and placed it around Mangle's wrist. Bon watched eagerly as Bonnie started to open his new guitar, and then noticed that there was something sitting next to him, "What's that?"
"Open it" Bonnie instructed.
Bon looked at the box and opened it and nearly dropped the guitar that had been placed inside it, "B-But how?!"
Bonnie finished opening his and gently tapped his brother over the head with the neck, "Did you really think I was going to allow you to go without getting anything? I would be a lousy older brother if I did that."
"Y-You…" Bon was at a loss for words.
Bonnie nodded, "Well let's get them tuned in."
As the two rabbits started to tune their new guitars restored Freddy quickly got to work replacing all of Chica's servos. The restored chicken tried to resist laughing as she felt the wrench work away at the locked mechanics. Foxy and Mangle meanwhile started to place their new props about their cove as Morgan and Faye played about. Toy Freddy and Chica wondered off to have another movie date which no one seemed to mind. Balloon Boy and Balloon Girl stayed close to the stage and continued to dance around and listen as Bonnie and Bon played together. Golden took Marionette back to their prize corner and just as the puppet was about to say something he vanished and returned with a new box. The puppet was speechless as Golden removed the old box and placed the new one down. Quickly the puppet was quick to inspect their new home, and found it to be satisfactory. Emerging from the box the leaned against the golden bear as they watched the toy and restore models interact peacefully.
"To think most of them used to loathe one another" Golden responded.
Mari nodded, "Yet through everything that has happened they've become a lot closer. I can't help but think that somehow Toy Bonnie's death had helped with that, and now the struggle we are facing with Springtrap and Larry. I'm worried Goldy, what if we can't prevent the past from happening once more?"
"We will prevent it" Golden responded pulling the puppet close, "I have faith in everyone here when Larry returns we'll keep watch. If there is any sign of that dark soul lingering around Bon and Freddy should have no problem detecting it."
"We placed such a heavy burden on him and Bon though. I know the others have their own pain to bear as well." Marionette sighed and looked towards the stage, "I can only hope that somehow we can win Larry over to our side."
"As do I" Golden responded and looked at the time, for some reason without children being there for them to entertain time seemed to drag on.
For the rest of the day everyone followed their own interests since they all figured it would be the last day of peace they would have for some time. Freddy and Chica were quick to part ways with the others and spend quality time alone. BB and JJ eventually went off towards the arcade to play some of the new games that had come in. It was soon just Bonnie and Bon on the show stage. The toy rabbit looked to their restored counterpart, "Something's bothering you."
Bonnie nodded, "I'm worried that once Larry returns, and if Springtrap is with him I won't be able to do anything to protect you. I'm terrified that I'll lose you again, that I'll be stuck here watching everyone else."
"You won't lose me though, I want to be the one to protect you and everyone else. Tell me Bonnie, why won't this fear go away? I've already been killed once….shouldn't be a big deal." Bon uttered quietly.
The restored rabbit pulled the toy to them just as Toy Chica and Freddy returned, "Because, you realize that this time around there may be no coming back. That your friends would be devastated to lose you."
"And you?" Bon asked quietly.
Bonnie looked down and pulled the toy closer, "I would refuse to function for the rest of my days."
"Well none of that is going to happen" Freddy called walking into the main room with Chica at his side, "We're all in this together, and I am now allowing anyone to cease functioning. That especially means you two."
"We get it already" Bonnie and Bon responded in unison.
"Good" Freddy responded, "Now then let's enjoy the rest of our day off doing whatever we want. Though it is odd not having kids here to play with us."
Everyone nodded and soon the place was filled with music as they started to sing and perform as if there were children there. They knew that tomorrow and the return of Larry would shatter the peace they had come accustomed to. Freddy was also deeply concerned about Faye and Morgan, neither of them knew what was really going on. He watched as the two pirate kits played with Crackers and made a vow to keep them and everyone else safe.
'Only 12 more hours until he returns.' Everyone thought deeply troubled.
