Bonnie's Lullaby
A/N: Another chapter down. I own only Larry, Crackers, Faye and Morgan. Everyone else belongs to Scott Cawthon. For this chapter there is some music that I believe would be fitting of it. Go to YouTube and look up FNaF 3's music box for the Glitch mini-game. I have found a few people have referred to it as Bonnie's Lullaby, and thought it would work best for this chapter. As always enjoy everyone.
Toy Freddy watched in dismay as Bon's endoskeleton eyes focused on the room around him. The toy rabbit had most likely just snapped, yet for some reason the toy bear could understand entirely. He would have done the same thing if something had happened to Toy Chica. He was pulled from his thoughts as he quickly dodged a fist coming from the now deranged rabbit, "Bonnie!"
"SPRINGTRAP! WHERE ARE YOU!" Bon screamed almost causing his voice box to malfunction.
Freddy tackled the toy rabbit back into the pool of oil, "Bonnie stop! He'll kill you!"
"Did it ever occur to you that maybe that's what I want!?" Bon snapped back angrily.
Freddy closed his eyes and then swung at his best friend almost grimacing at the fact he made contact with the toy rabbits cheek, "Bonnie stop! This isn't like you at all! Do you think your brother would be okay seeing you like this!?"
"Leave him out of this!" Bon yelled and quickly threw the toy bear off of him.
Freddy let out a weak groan as he tried to fix his jaw that the rabbit had now managed to knock loose. His attention then turned to the box that had been forced from his hand and now laid against the edge of the counter. To his surprise the box started to emit a tune that even caused the angered rabbit to stop briefly for a moment. Freddy took the chance afforded to him and quickly pushed the toy rabbit back down forcing their face into the oil that would most likely stain the floor. He was shocked that Bon didn't even try to fight back, instead the toy rabbit just laid in the oil of his brother and remained silent. Freddy looked to the toy rabbit, "Have you calmed down now?"
Bon quickly responded by turning around and pushing the bear off him his endoskeleton eyes still visible, "Far from it! Why won't you just let me go! Why can't you just let me die in peace so I'm not here alone!?"
"We don't even know if he's dead Bonnie! Pull yourself together!" Toy Freddy yelled and slapped the toy rabbit in the face, even surprising himself in the process.
Bon rubbed his cheek and looked at his friend allowing one of his eyes to revert back, "You heard his screams Freddy…Take it from someone who's already been destroyed once, those screams are the last sounds of anyone who's met their end."
"He wouldn't go down that easy and you know it!" Freddy snapped back and then looked to his friend remorsefully, "If you got yourself killed now, think about the distress it would cause him if he's still with us. We don't know if he's truly gone or not…. calling Spingtrap out like that would be the worst thing to do period."
The toy rabbit looked down and then towards the small box that still continued to play its haunting melody. He started to reach for it, almost as if the box itself would ease his pain, and take him back to happier times. He started to recall the first time that he had heard the faint tune.
It had been the first week of operation at their building, and Bon had grown rather curious about what was in the parts and service room. He remembered that during the day he watched several workers move about with large boxes on dollies and placed them in the parts room. When one of the boxes moved by he could have sworn he heard a faint tune being played. It was like something you would hear from a child's music box to lull them to sleep. The toy rabbit decided that later that night he would go investigate and see what was causing the beautiful melody. It didn't take long for night to come and soon the toy rabbit was making his way towards the parts room humming the melody he had heard. Carefully he opened the door and turned on the light, and came across four older looking models. Seeing the state they were in the toy rabbit couldn't sit by and not do something. Carefully looking around the room he found a small tool kit and started to look everyone over deciding on what he could do, and who needed the attention first.
"What are you doing here?" a low voice could barely speak.
Bon jumped and looked over at the older bear and noticed they had somehow activated, "Please, I'm not here to hurt you or the others. I want to help!"
The older bear started to get up but groaned in what appeared to be pain as their one leg refused to function, "My knee…..those humans weren't careful at all."
Bon looked at the bear and despite the constant glares sat down and started to look at the damage that was done. As he gently moved the leg he could hear the knee itself groan and hiss as it was forced to move. Bon blinked a few times and then started to look around the room for a replacement part, or the items he could use to create one. All the while he could still feel the cold icy glare of the bear behind him, but he wouldn't let it bother him now. Finding the parts he needed he started to carefully take away the bear's casing, and much to their surprise oiled and cleaned the parts as well. All the while Bon continued to hum the same tune he had heard, wondering if the bear would recognize it.
"That song…..that's Bonnie's Lullaby…how do you know it?" the bear finally asked as the toy rabbit worked on their knee.
Bon looked up, "I just heard it today, but there is just something about it that seems to resonate and affect me. It's calming and yet there almost seems to be a hint of sadness in it if you listen close enough."
"That's Bonnie alright" the bear uttered and looked towards the rabbit animatronic that was slumped against the wall, "Tell me, what is your name."
Bon started to place the new parts for Freddy's knee as he responded, "The humans call me Toy Bonnie, but the others just call me Bonnie."
"So you're a replacement of my friend" Freddy started to sound hostile.
Bon looked up his ears and eyes drooping, "I never wanted to be a replacement, I would have been more than happy sharing the stage with you and everyone else. I guess you're THE Freddy Fazbear himself, aren't you?"
Freddy nodded and watched as Bon gently worked the new part into his leg, and was surprised at just how gentle the toy animatronic was. Though it was faint he could hear the toy rabbit's servos and joints moving almost in a perfect harmony. He then took the chance to look around the room that they had been thrown into. To his dismay Chica had been heavily damaged and partially dismantled, Bonnie was now sitting there without his face or left arm, and Foxy looked to be in a rough state as well, just not as much as the rabbit and chicken. He was almost alarmed as he watched a silver clad hook bring itself to the toy's neck, "Foxy!"
"So ye be sabotaging me friend here?" Foxy asked darkly.
Bon looked down and shook their head, "I could never bring myself to hurt any of you, as far as I'm concerned you're the legends we have to attempt to live up to."
Freddy got up and realized that he was able to move again, "Thank you, Toy Bonnie. I haven't been able to move this well in years. I hate to ask this of you, but could you help me with the others real quick?"
The toy rabbit nodded and made his way over to the faceless rabbit, and could faintly here the tune resonating out of the dormant animatronic. Freddy took notice and stood next to the toy, "He would play it to calm the children just like the rest of us played other tunes. I haven't heard him play in such a long time, he only really played it for those he liked."
The toy was about to ask another question until he noticed two red pin prick eyes flicker on. He watched and listened as the older rabbit started to move and could hear the groaning of the joints. He wasn't sure how long it had been since any of them had actually functioned or moved, but he could tell that it had been a very long time. Before he could say anything the older rabbit had grabbed him and pinned him against the wall. Though it was now without a face the toy could sense a deep anger rising from within the red eyes that kept looking at him. Weakly he wrapped his hands around the one that kept a tight hold on his neck, "I….I heard your song….I…I think it's beautiful….please I'm not here to hurt anyone….I…I just wanted to hear it one more time and h-help you guys."
"Bonnie put him down" Freddy urged the faceless rabbit.
The rabbit returned their cold glare towards the toy and gently placed them down, "G-G-Get out!"
Bon looked down and then back up at the damaged rabbit, "Your voice box is malfunctioning, I c-can fix it for you! So you can talk and sing just like you used to."
"W-Why…h-help…m-m-me?" the damaged rabbit asked.
Bon looked up with a look of admiration that the damaged rabbit hadn't seen in years, "Because, I look up to you. I'm supposed to carry on your legacy, though I would have rather shared the stage with the one and true Bonnie."
For the rest of the night Bon worked tirelessly to repair Bonnie's voice box and even managed to replace some of the bad joints in his remaining arm happy to no longer hear the groaning that had resonated from them before. He took notice of how Freddy had activated Chica and the chicken had the same reaction to a toy being among them. As 6 AM began to approach Bon got ready to leave only to be stopped by Bonnie himself, "Huh?"
"Come back here tomorrow" Bonnie responded, "If you want to carry on our legacy there is a lot you'll need to know. I should hate you for replacing me, but I can't find it in myself to do so. You fixed us up from the damage the humans caused, and you're the only one who heard my song. So please, do come back."
Bon nodded and took the other rabbits remaining hand in his own, "I promise, I'll come visit and do what I can to repair everyone."
The toy rabbit was pulled from his memory as the music box quit playing. Shakily he reached out for it once more and started to wind it up, as if it were now the most precious treasure to him in the world. Toy Freddy watched and started to approach his friend once more, "I know he meant the world to you Bon, I really do."
"Freddy, could you let me be for a bit please? I've calmed down I won't do anything reckless." Bon almost sounded as if he were pleading for solitude.
Toy Freddy looked hesitant but nodded and started to make his way back for the office. Meanwhile Mike watched from the monitors as Bon sat in solitude in the Fredbear room. He couldn't blame the rabbit for wanting solitude, but something kept nagging at him to look at the other cameras. Before he could say anything Faye and Morgan swiped his monitor and started to look through the rooms. Their jaws dropped though as they looked at the backstage room, they had located the restored Bonnie.
"Mama, Papa look!" Morgan cried pointing to the monitor.
Crackers peered over Foxy's shoulder, "He be alive….he be alive!"
Freddy looked over the foxes and noticed that Fredbear's shadow was still faintly visible. Looking at Bonnie through the small screen he could tell that the rabbit had fully been restored. He blinked once and noticed that Bonnie had moved and got up close to the camera causing Mike to yell outside the door for the rabbit to knock it off, and more importantly that his little brother needed him.
Meanwhile back in the Fredbear room Bon continued to wallow in his memories of the older brother he held so dear. He was reliving the last night they had spent together in the old building before he was dismantled. In an effort to cheer him up Bonnie suggested they take on the night guard together, and it would just be the two of them. Bon had been elated that for once it would just be him and his big brother to have a chance to scare the guard. Granted the toy rabbit wasn't much on hurting anyone, Bonnie himself admitted that he just liked scaring the guard and causing them to pass out. As the memory continued as he imagined himself crawling through the vents he could remember just how cold everything felt to the touch, how he was anxious knowing it could be the very last night of his own existence. Yet he was content that he was able to spend it with the one bot that seemed to affectionately care for them. As he came back from the memory he heard tune faintly playing in the hallway, and looked down at the music box that had stopped playing.
Bon closed his eyes and shook his head, "No…it's not possible he's gone!"
"Didn't you know anything is possible here?" a familiar voice responded gently.
"I…I heard the screams! There is no way to survive damage like that!" Bon yelled clutching his head and shaking it even harder, "You can't fool me!"
Bon felt someone smack him in the back of the head and looked up to see an agitated Bonnie. The restored rabbit looked extremely upset and flicked their toy counterpart in the nose before speaking, "Do you really think that I could leave you alone? Bon without me you'd be a wreck and we all know it. I know it's hard to believe that I'm here, but it's really me."
Bon looked up still doubtful, "Only my brother would know this…What drew me back to the parts room the night you first arrived in the building?"
"You heard my lullaby" Bonnie responded softly and started to play it once more, "I survived because Fredbear betrayed Springtrap, he repaired me as soon as we got to the back room. Now get some rest Bon, you've had a rough night."
As if it were instant the toy rabbit had shut down to their sleep mode and allowed the restored one to carry them towards the office. Upon entering it everyone quickly welcomed him back warmly, and Freddy lectured him for being reckless only to be stopped by Chica who came to Bonnie's defense. The restored bear then turned their attention to the monitor and noticed that BB and JJ were fixated with Fredbear's shadow.
"Bonnie, do we still have that one spare endoskeleton around?" Freddy asked.
