You Can't Fix What Is Not Broken
By: End Of Grace
Well, I hoped you like chapter 7 now here is the next chapter. A big shout out to Zanza Flux for the fluffy idea of a girly night. Also to Angel Cakes for her fluffy scene.
Chapter 8: What's in a name?
"FLESHY!" cried the small miss matched bunny as it jumped off of Iger and ran as fast as it could to Mike. Mike stayed still and allowed the small animatronic to climb his body, trying not to wince as it dug in its claws. "You're all soft and squishy. You don't rattle. Where is your connection port? Is this it?" Plush asked as he pulled up Mike's top and looked at his belly button.
"No, that's my belly button, Fleshies like me don't have ports or connections." said Mike as he gently picked Plush up and placed him on the floor before kneeling in front of him. "So why did you scare Iger there so badly?"
Plush tilted his head and rubbed it with one of his ears "I was only watching him then something inside of me said to be bad."
"Something?" questioned Jeremy.
"Yeah, it kept saying scare him, scare him and I had to do it, I didn't really want too, but…" said Plush sadly, hanging his head.
"He means it was his core program that called for him to do it and he basically had no choice. That's the problem with their programming; they have no real control and would just jump out at anybody without thinking. I guess I better call Dahl to send someone over to pick Iger up. Plush... do you think you could do something for me? Could you go and get the other animatronics and ask them to meet me and Jeremy in the bedroom?"
Plush looked up at him in confusion "Animatronics? Bedroom?"
Mike pinched the bridge of his nose "I mean would you mind getting the others that live here and take them to where the guy in the closet is please?"
"Ohhhh, why didn't you say that? I can do that" said Plush as he ran off leaving his mullet behind. Jeremy shook his head and picked the mallet up as Mike stood up.
"Something tells me that from what Plush just said their programming is more screwed up then we first thought?"
"It think it's worse because it's the most basic programming that our animatronics have...common sense and basic knowledge. Looks like I'll be here a bit longer than planned, if you rather do something else Jeremy, I'd understand."
"What and leave you on your own with them? No way, man. Besides if it got back to Freddy and the gang that I left you alone, I'll be in trouble, so I'm staying. Besides you might need back up or someone just to get you food right?"
Mike high fived him and smiled "Thanks man. Let's get him out of here and get to work"
About an hour later, once some paramedics came and took Iger away, Mike and Jeremy stood in the bedroom, cold sweat pouring down their backs as the large scary group looked down at them with their sharp claws and teeth.
"Do you really think this is a good idea?" Jeremy asked Mike who swallowed a lump in his throat.
"Hello everyone, um...my name is Mike and this is Jeremy and we…"
"YOU!" a deep growl that came from the large black bear that made the others cringe, as he stumped towards them. "After what you did, you are not welcome here, leave!"
"Are you Big Daddy? The leader here?" Mike asked, almost straining his neck to look up.
"None of your business. We don't need or want you here"
"Bbbbut Dadddy." cried one of the small Freddy's who were standing with Plush around the feet of another bear that looked like Freddy Frazbear.
"He... he's not here to hurt us…" said Mangy softly, shocking a few of the other animatronics for speaking up. "He's here to help. He's already started my upgrades... and their good ones… lots more input. He... he gave me a name... Mangy."
The large purple rabbit cooed and when she spoke she made the two humans jump with her southern accent. "Why Sugar, that's the most you have ever spoke before, these little men must be good Big Daddy."
"They really nice to us too!" said one of the small bears who quickly hid behind the other freddy when Big Daddy growled.
"We are not broken! We do not NEED fixing. We want to be left alone!" The large bear growled deeply.
"Well you're not going to get your wish at all." snapped Jeremy as he stepped up to the black bear. "For crying out loud, you don't even know why you have been built do you or why you're even in here?"
The large bear stood up straight and tall, while the others looked at each other in concern and fear. Mike placed his hand on Jeremy's shoulder and pulled him back slightly as he looked at the black bear firmly.
"Big Daddy...do you know what your primary programming is?"
The large bear frowned, it's red optics moving from side to side as he thought "What do you mean?"
"When you saw me and Jeremy the other day, you must have felt an overwhelming need to scare us correct?"
"I felt the overwhelming need to kill you after what you did to me!" snapped the bear, his sharp teeth gnashing in front of Mike's face.
"I'm sorry about that." said Mike sincerely "I didn't know you were sensitive about it."
"What did he do?" asked the Freddy looking bear as he came up to the larger bear and placed his paw on his shoulder. The large bear looked down at him, his eyes becoming gentle as he spoke softly.
"He beeped my nose."
The Freddy bear crossed his arms just over his belly mouth and sighed "You silly thing. You don't make half this much of a scene when the little ones beep your nose."
"But their cubs... I can't be mad at cubs... but he's a fleshy... he just did it to be mean!"
"To which he has just apologize for. Now I think we should give this…" Freddy looked at Mike nervously.
"My name is Mike and that is my friend Jeremy"
"Give Mike and Jeremy a chance. We all have questions and if this Mike can give us the answers we want, wouldn't that be best for us all?" The large black bear grumbled, but said nothing as the other bear took his paw in his and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Continue your questions, Mike."
"Well um...how about you miss? When you first saw me and Jeremy, what was your first reaction and did anything weird happen?" Mike asked the large purple bunny who tapped her chin in thought.
"Well now, I was just wondering the halls looking for Plush, he was being a naughty little thing you see. That is when I saw you. I was about to go over and say hello when I felt this weird feeling come over me. Suddenly, instead of walking, I was tip toeing towards you and instead of saying hello, I yelled at you in the most unlady like fashion. I'm awfully sorry about that sugar, I hope you won't hold it against me." she purred as she leaned down and pressed her face against Mike's and winks.
"Not at all Miss." said Mike, feeling sweat forming on his neck. What was it about animatronic bunnies and him? Did he have some kind of invisible sign that only they could see that read "Breed here"? "So you felt you couldn't control your actions. That is your basic program. To scare people when the lights are off."
"But why? I'm a lady. I wouldn't hurt anybody" the rabbit exclaimed in an upset tone.
"I think you best explain everything Mr. Mike." said the Freddy like bear "And please start from the beginning."
Mike sighed "Ok, everyone get comfortable, this is going to take a while."

Mark tried to sneakily walk into the pizzeria, his eyes shifting around to see if he could see Freddy anywhere, as he tried to get to the security room without getting caught. It was only day three and Mark swore he wasn't going to survive the week if Freddy had anything to say about. During the day when the children started to come in, the animatronics kept a lively appearance, but when night comes, they would mope and sulk, so they had decided to cheer themselves up by trying to drive him mad.
"Morning Mark" said Emily as she wiped down the counter. "How did last night go?"
"Terrible! I don't know which one of them is doing it, but they drugged me again and I work up this morning and they had drawn all over my face and chest."
Emily tried not to laugh but it was hard since Mark still had felt tip on his face. "Are you still alright about tonight?"
"Tonight… oh right... your girly night with the girl animatronics right?"
"Yep, well it's more of a cooking lesson followed by me giving the girls tips with make-up and such."
"Can they even wear make up?" Mark asked, not noticing Freddy creeping up behind him.
"Chica thinks so, either way, it's going to be a lot of fun." said Emily as she tried not to give Freddy away.
"Well, I've cleared it with Matt and he said he'll bring the girls over just before his shift is meant to start, there is one thing though David said he'll be working late…"
"The manager? Chica won't like that, not with Chi coming over, we might have to cancel."
"Why? Did she have a falling out with him or something."
"MARK!" Freddy roared as loud as he could right behind Mark, causing him to jump up high and then fall to the ground as he screamed like a little girl. Freddy and Emily were laughing hard when Mark finally calmed himself down and got to his feet.
"For fuck sake Care Bear, you almost made me piss myself! I swear on my mom I'll get you one of these days!" snapped Mark as he stomped off in a huff to his office. Freddy continued to chuckle before he turned to Emily.
"Good Morning Ms. Monroe. I trust I find you well?"
"Yes, thank you Freddy, I'm looking forward to tonight but Mark just told me David is going to be working late….do you think Chi will be ok with that?"
"I will speak with Chica and see what she says, but I do not believe it to be a problem, we will keep an eye on him in any case. The reason I ask if you are well, is to make sure that Bonnie Blu is not harassing you."
"Other than the glares and a few muttered words under his breath, but that's it."
"Do you wish me to speak to him about it?"
"No, I can handle that, it was just when he got physical that it worried me. But thanks for offering Freddy. How are you guys handling Mike not being here?"
Freddy sighed "Not as well as I had hoped. Sooty is showing off all the time and getting into more trouble to try and cheer Shadow up, who is deeply missing his father and has been nearly in tears for a while. Bonnie is trying to remain strong, but he is really worried about Shadow and Mike, thinking that Mike might find another bunny he might like more."
"Sounds rough. Hasn't Mike called in yet?"
"He did last night, but just hearing his voice makes it even harder on Shadow, because it's not enough. I just wish this week would go by quickly, the sooner Mike's home the better it will be for all of us. I'll let you finish clearing your station now, I've got to get the band ready for today and I will pass on your message to Chica, Ms. Monroe."
"See you later Freddy." smiled Emily as she got back to work.
It was odd really, she thought, a while ago she would have never of thought of having a conversation with the animatronics. Yet, after all the work Mike had put into them, they seemed more alive than ever and it almost seemed impossible to think of them as robots. Over the last few weeks she and Chica had struck up an odd friendship and now she was going to have a girl's night with her and the other girl animatronics. Part of her felt as if she was losing the plot, after all, what could she really discuss with a bunch of animatronics? But another part of her was concerned and decided it was best to make as many friends with the animatronics as possible in case Blu decided to make good on his threat. Besides she was going to get a free cooking lesson in cupcakes and maybe after Mike gets back she could make him some.
Mark stomped to the security room in a huff, muttering darkly under his breath. He dumped his bag on the ground and slammed down his coffee cup as he switched on the monitors. He pulled out his chair to sit down when he noticed it was already occupied. It was the small black bunny, curled up into a small ball, holding a light blue blanket and looking miserable.
"Er, hey kiddo... um… you ok?" Mark asked rubbing the back of his neck, not sure on what to do.
"No…" Shadow sighed sadly as he clenched his blanket tighter.
"Ok... um... would you mind if I move you? That's my chair you see."
"It's my daddy's chair. He's meant to be here….but he's not…" Shadow sniffed as his optics started to fill with oily tears.
"Oh no... don't do that... I'm no good with tears... hey come one now." said Mark as he scooped the small bunny up and sat down, placing Shadow on his lap. "Now, Mike wouldn't want you sad, he loves you to bits. When I last saw him, he was making a long list of stuff of things he was going to get you while he was at that Critter place."
"Really?" Shadow asked, his ears perking up slightly.
"Really! Plushies, cups, a hat, games, you name it and he said he would get you one. And whenever I look at him while he's going through his phone, he's got loads of pictures of you, he loves to show you off to me and Matt."
"Really?"
"Yep. Hey, since you usually help out your daddy during the day, how would you like to help me out in here? I could use the help."
"Can I? Shadow beamed Mark a bright smile, making the guard laugh as he placed his security guard hat down on Shadow's head, almost covering the small bunny.
"Yep, you help me watch the screens and you can talk into the walkie talkie for me, too."
"Can I help push the buttons?"
"Sure, let me show you what to do, now this button here…"
Goldie was doing the rounds later that day, it wasn't too busy and the delivery had been done, so now he wondered the halls and decided to check in on the guard. He peeked in and felt his pump stop for a moment before he felt his muzzle pull back into a smile. There was Sooty and Shadow both sitting on Mark's lap, following Mark's instruction on how to work the camera system and how to look out for bad guys. He smirked as he started to walk back; maybe this guard wasn't too bad after all, before wondering if Mark had found the drawing of the daisy he had drawn with permanent marker on his butt.

Mike felt like such a jerk and it wasn't even his fault. The creators of these animatronics had missed everything out but the most basic of programming, leaving the poor bots with no knowledge as to why they were here and what was expected of them. To make matters worse they really didn't like the idea of scaring children.
"I'm not doing it!" said Mangy "and that's flat!"
"I don't want to do it either Sugar, but according to Mike here, we simply don't have a choice." said the bunny, her ears drooping sadly.
"Why would children come here knowing they were going to be scared?" Freddy like bear asked.
"Sometimes, when you know you're going to be scared it can be fun, it's like a rush for us. Also for some kids it's like a badge of honor to get through here without being scared." explained Jeremy.
"But how does it work?" asked the chicken as she hugged her large scary cupcake. "Do they just wander around the place and look for us?"
"Well that was kind of the original idea. But after what happened to Big Daddy and me, the company have decided to put in a moving runway for people to step on and while it moves them about the house, you guys pop up and scare them." said Mike
"Lllike this?" asked the small bear with the stutter as he raised his paws up "BBBooo."
In all honesty that would probably make the children go "awww" but Mike thought better of it as he knelt down and patted the small bear on the head "Yeah, just like that, but maybe a little louder ok?"
Plush and the Fredlings started to roar and shout boo and chase each other around, in and out of everyone's legs, as Mike pulled out his laptop again and turned it around so that the animatronics could see it.
"Right this is what me and Jeremy are here to do. You all need this upgrade here. It has all your safety protocols, basic information about the outside world and…"
"Why would we need to know about the outside world? If we're meant to stay in here?" Big Daddy asked.
"Well, say a child got lost here on the ride, would you know what to do? What to ask them? Also, what if there was a fire in here, would you know what to do? Where to go outside? Plus if you were ever asked or needed to go outside, you would have the information already there, so you won't be overwhelmed when you do." Mike explained as he watched the animatronics take it all in. "Any other questions?"
The chicken raised it torn up wing "Um… since you named Mangy… could I have a name too?"
"Sure. Why don't I check your software first in case you already have one and if you don't, we'll give you one?" said Mike holding the cable.
The chicken looked slightly worried, but the Freddy like bear patted her on the shoulder and nodded his head, offering her support as he gently pushed her forward. Mike led her to the bed and sat her down while he connected his laptop to her hard drive.
"Ok, I'm going to start the upgrades now, if you feel it's going to fast or making you dizzy let me know ok?"
The chicken nodded nervously as her hard drive and processor hummed as the information started to fill it. "Oh… it really is fast…"
"You want me to slow it down?" Mike asked
"No... I'm fine thank you... but... um…"
"Huh? Oh right you name... give me a second... well according to this... you don't have one... just random numbers like Mangy had. Hmm, you look a lot like the two girls we have at our pizzerias, Chica and Chi….so….how about Chloe?"
Chloe tilted her head to the side and then smiled "I like it... thank you."
"Can you name me next Sweetie?" the bunny asked as she twirled her clawed finger around Mike's ear.
"I already have a name for you... Bon-Bon, since you look so much like Bonnie." said Mike.
"I call Freddy-stein for this guy." said Jeremy pointing to the Freddy like bear.
"Oh... I like that... it's a lot nicer than Freak." smiled Freddy-stein.
"Mummy's called Freddy-stein, Mummy's called Freddy-stein." sang the small little bears.
Plushtrap climbed up Jeremy and hung over his shoulder "Can I keep my name I like it?"
"Sure, you look a lot like Springtrap anyway, so it's cool" smiled Jeremy "Shall we take a picture together?"
"How?" Plush asked as Jeremy got out his phone and set it up as a camera and turning it around to take their picture. He then showed Plush the image of them together as well as the Fredlings.
"Can we have a picture too?" the Fredlings asked excitedly.
"Sure, it will give me something to do while Mike is busy doing Chloe's upgrades." smiled
Jeremy as he got everyone posing for a shot. Big Daddy stayed leaning up against the wall, watching as a small smile appeared on his face. Though he didn't like the fleshies, his family was having a good time and were the happiest he had ever seen them and for that he would gladly put up with their fleshy nonsense.

After her shift at work, Emily quickly went home to wash and change, and get ready for tonight. She packed up most of her make-up (not the really expensive bits) and rolled up a sleeping bag. She had thought about coming home afterwards, but Mark had convinced her it would be too dangerous and he could run her back when he finished his night shift. She packed herself some snacks and wondered if she should take a drink but she was sure the animatronics wouldn't mind if she helped herself to the soft drink machine. She also packed a few girly movies for them to enjoy. She had told her parents she was staying at work with her work collages for an overnight work excise. It wasn't a lie; she just didn't mention that her work collages were large animatronics. She there a bit earlier than planned and had to wait as the animatronics were still in sleep mode and David was in his office so he couldn't open the front door. Luckily she only had to wait about fifteen minutes or so when Matt turned up with Mangle, Chi and Betty.
"Now remember ladies, I'll be back before I start my morning shift to take you back alright, so be ready for me." said Matt with a small smile. "Hello Ms. Emily. I hope you have a nice evening."
"Thank you for doing this Matt, it's really nice of you, hope your evening goes well." said Emily when she noticed that Mangle had a large barrel with her. "What's that Mangle?"
"This be the Captain's best grog lass, can't be having a party without a drink right?" smirked Mangle as she jerked her elbow into Chi's side as they both laughed.
"Just be careful with that stuff Ms. Mangle, the Captain said it was a really strong batch, so take it easy." said Matt when he saw Emily's confused face. "Captain Foxy has been experimenting with oils and such and made his own version of moonshine for the more adult animatronics."
"Does Mike know?" Emily asked, as she doubted Mike wouldn't be too happy about it.
"He does, but told the Captain as long as he was sensible with it and it doesn't get into the youngsters, he will turn a blind eye to it." smiled Matt as he said good bye and got into his car. The door of the pizzeria swung open and Chica smiled brightly as she hugged her sister and welcomed them all in.
"I'm so happy to see you all, it's going to be so much fun, I have already asked the boys to allow us to have the break room for ourselves, so you can put your bag in there Emily."
"Thanks Chica and thanks for setting this all up, too." smiled Emily as she followed them to the break room.
"I can't wait to make my cupcake." said Betty "Matt said he was going to have some of it."
"Then he'll be off for a week with a tummy ache." joked Chi making everyone laugh as Betty poked her tongue out at them.
"Don't worry Betty; I'm not good at baking either, so we'll have to help each other ok?" Emily smiled as she took the small animatronic hand.
"OKAY!" Betty cried excitedly as she started to drag Emily towards the kitchen, which out giving her a chance to dump her bag. An hour or so later, Emily and Betty were working on their second cupcake after using salt instead of sugar, while Mangle and Chi were make a very large mess with the different cooler icing. Chica had made a large batch for the pizzeria and was busy decorating hers while watching and giving advice to everyone. Everyone was so busy that they didn't notice Shadow or Sooty enter the kitchen, both wearing security hats and badges, Shadow holding a walkie talkie and Sooty a whistle.
"Excuse me… EXCUSE ME." Shadow cried out but couldn't be heard over the giggling chatting girls. So he nodded to Sooty who took his whistle from around his neck and blew on it hard, its sharp piercing noise caused the girls to stop what they were doing and look over at them in shock.
Shadow coughed politely and looked up at them with a serious expression "Good evening. I'm officer Shadow and this is officer Sooty. We are looking around to make sure everything is ok and you are all behaving."
The girls looked at each other and smiled, while trying not to laugh at the two small animatronics, while Chica came around to them and bowed slightly.
"Thank you for your hard work officers. I promise you everything is alright here and we're all behaving ourselves."
"Have you seen any sus...sis...bad things around?" Shadow asked, holding his paws behind his back.
"No officer, nothing bad around here, but if I see anything I'll let you know."
"Ok, thank you very much" said Shadow as he held up the walkie talkie. "Ten four, Ten four, come in."
There was some loud static before Mark's voice came out of the talkie "This is Ten Four, receiving you loud and clear little buddy."
"We have checked out the kitchens and are on our way back to base." said Shadow as he lifted his cap slightly to Chica and made his way out of the kitchen with Sooty close behind him who simply waved good bye. Once they were out of sight Emily couldn't contain herself anymore.
"Oh my gosh! They were so CUTE!" she squealed and laughed with Betty as the others joined in.
"It's really nice of Mark to let Shadow and Sooty help him. Shadow has been really down with Mike gone."
"It must be a load of Freddy as well seeing Sooty behaving for once." said Chi with a smile
"Have you ever thought about having a cub Mangle?"
Mangle dropped the spoon she was holding and quickly picked it up, her red cheeks glowing. "Me and the Captain have spoken about it, but since the new pizzeria has opened, we both have been too busy... though truth be told, I don't think I'll be good as a mother."
"Oh Mangle, why would you think that? You're wonderful with children." said Chica as she and the rest of them surrounded the white fox.
"I know... but I have watched Freddy and Goldie with their young Fred and Sooty. I don't know how they managed it, especially after what happened to Fred."
"Mangle, there is little chance of that happening again, with Mike and the other guards about. And to tell the truth I don't think you should really look at Goldie as a role model for being a parent." said Chica knowing that Sooty got most of his bad ideas from the golden bear.
"And like my mum is always telling me, no matter how you see other kids and their parents act it's always different when you have your own." said Emily. The white fox sadly dropped icing on the cupcake and looked so upset that Emily had to hug her. "You would be a great mom, Mangle."
Mangle managed a small smile and hugged Emily back "Thank you lass."
The girls finished their cupcakes and although theirs weren't really up to Chica's standards, both Betty and Emily both had at least reasonable cupcakes to give to Matt and Mike. After cleaning up the kitchen, they made their way to the break room where Emily got out her make up and started to show them all how to apply it as well as put on a girly film in the background. Mangle due to having her face already painted with make-up helped Emily apply it to the others while she started to serve and drink some of the "grog" she had brought with her from the cove. Soon she, Chica and Chi were giggling like school girls and coming out with things that shocked Emily who felt she had to cover Betty's ears for a lot of it, thankfully the young animatronic had fallen into recharge before they got too silly.
"The Captain is a fine hunk of metal with a great ass." said Mangle as she took another swing of her drink "I'd really like to spank it, but he always pulls his dominant crap."
"At least you and Foxy are together and getting some." moaned Chi "I'm not even at first base with Jeremy yet. He's so nice and considerate but it's almost getting frustrating you know, I want him to at least kiss me."
"Why not have Betty have an "accident" with the ice cream machine, so Jeremy has to change his clothes and then jump him? You never know, he might be into strong girls." said Chica with a giggle "Though he doesn't hold a candle to Mike, right Emily?"
Emily blushed brightly "Well... maybe not in looks, but they're both just as nice, I guess."
"Hey lass, have you ever thought of giving one of our boys a go?" Mangle asked Emily with a small smile, enjoying the girl's embarrassment.
"What? No way!" Emily exclaimed her cheeks now burning red.
"Well if one of them made you an offer, which one would you prefer? Young Freddy is a nice?" Mangle continued.
"Oh gods no, he reminds me to much of a teddy bear, I guess if I had to pick…" Emily thought about it quickly "I guess... maybe Net or even Springtrap."
The girls cheered and whooped as Emily buried her face in her hands. Chica gently rubbed her back and hugged her.
"We're sorry Emily, we didn't mean to embarrass you like that, it was only meant as a bit of fun."
"I know Chica but it was still embarrassing. I mean you guys don't even know what sex is so I guess I'm just being dirty minded." said Emily.
The three animatronics looked at each other and then back at Emily, with dirty smiles on their faces.
"Lass, what make you think we don't know about mating?" Mangle asked curiously.
"Well….your robots right?" said Emily suddenly feeling very nervous.
"Our creator in his wisdom, thought it was best we had the same parts as you humans, to better understand why the children needed to go to the bathroom. So not only have we girls got the same parts as you but our lads, like my captain, are very well built!" Mangle smirked as she took another gulp of her drink. "Want to see?"
"No thank you." said Emily firmly as she started to put her make-up away.
"Emily, would you mind if I made a small comparison between you and me?" Chi asked as she crawled over to Emily until their bodies were almost touching.
"What kind of comparison?" Emily asked and before she could stop her, Chi pushed herself against her, rubbing their breasts together.
"Hmmm your breasts are really soft, but I can't really tell with your clothes in the way. Chica, can you help Emily out?" Chi asked as her sister crawled up behind Emily and started to pull on her top.
"Hey! Knock it off! I'm not that sort of girl!" Emily snapped as she struggled to keep her clothes on and their wandering hands away.
Suddenly her jaw was gripped tightly and she was forced to look up at Mangle who also had gotten closer. Just as she was about to protest some more, Mangle pressed her mouth against hers, forcing her tongue into her mouth. It was only when she knew Emily needed to breath did Mangle pull back, smirking slightly as she licked the young girl's face.
"Don't worry lass, we'll take good care of you, trust us."
Emily tried to argue but all that escaped from her lips was a moan as the three female animatronics, started to rub, lick and suck at her pale skin, as they removed her clothes.

Mike was exhausted, but happy if that was possible. It was late but all, but Big Daddy had been upgraded. Jeremy had gone out during the day to get food and drinks for them; he even took PlushTrap with him. The animatronics were really surprised by how much they didn't know and were grateful to Mike for the new knowledge, but also their names, yet they still did not like the idea of scaring children.
"Mike Sugar, can't you make it so we don't have to scare children or make away that they can see our sweet side?" BonBon asked, fluttering her eyelashes at him.
"Sorry Bon-Bon, but with Halloween around the corner, kids expect to be scared. It will only be for a little while." said Mike. He still hadn't had the guts to tell them that they were only going to be there for Halloween and that was it but he was hoping to talk Dahl in to letting them be.
"Aww Are you sure Sugar?" Bon-Bon asked surly, rubbing her paws over Mike's back "I'm sure if I showed you my extra sweet side, you would understand."
Mike swallowed and laughed nervously "Um… I'm sure you're as sweet as candy Bon-Bon. Besides I'm going back to my job at the pizzeria at the end of the week so… and the animatronics I work with won't like it."
"Oh sweetie, I'm sure they won't mind if you have a little bit of sugar for the road, you can always tell them I insisted."
"Sorry Bon-Bon." said Jeremy who came over with Plush on his shoulder, munching on some cold fries "The whole reason the animatronics allowed Mike to come here was on the condition that I kept him away from temptation."
"Are you saying I'm a temptation?" squealed Bon Bon happily "You sweet talker you."
"Steady there Bon-Bon" laughed Jeremy "I'm not into bunny's like Mike is, I'm more into pretty yellow birds like Chloe."
Chloe gave a small squeak and hid her face behind her cupcake, then growled angrily at him, while Mike unhooked his cable from Freddystein's neck.
"You're all done now, you'll also need a few physical changes as well, for safety reasons, but is there anything you particularly want changing?"
"Well... I want to change my nose." whispered Freddystein as he rubbed the small bit of black plastic.
"Why do you want to change your nose for?" Mike asked, causing Freddystein to groan as the Freddlings gasped and instantly ran over to him and jumped on his lap.
"You can't change your nose mummy."
"It won't be the same."
"Weee lllove your nose."
"Little ones, I just think it would be better if my nose didn't make that noise." Freddystein sighed "It's... embarrassing"
"Is NOT!" snapped Plush as he pressed his own nose that sounded off like a clown's horn. The three little Freddy's starting beeping their own noses too, each one a different pitch to the other. The one that stuttered stood up on Freddystein's lap and pressed his nose as well, it going off like a dog's chew toy, much to the scary bear's embarrassment.
"Oookay. Does anyone else's nose also go beep?" Mike asked looking at Bon-Bon and Mangy, who both nodded. "Want to change them?"
"I like my nose thanks Sugar" said Bon-Bon while Mangy shook his head covering his nose with his paws.
The Fredling with only half a face went over to Big Daddy and held his paws up "Pick me Daddy."
Big Daddy sighed as if it were a big deal, but Mike could see the small smile on his face, as he scooped up the small bear in his large paw and lifted him up to his chest. Of course the little troublemaker had to press his daddy's nose also. Mike had expected the large bear to tear up again, but he simply just rolled his optics as the little one continued to press it. Mike walked over and patted the little one on the back making him stop.
"Hey little one, Big Daddy needs to have is upgrades now and maybe a new name, too." Mike smiled.
The little bear nodded as Big Daddy placed him down on the floor and went over to the bed, that creaked heavily with the strain of his weight. Mike placed the cable into his neck and restarted the upgrade program for him.
"So any ideas on what you want for a new name?" Mike asked as he opened the bear's personal data.
"I was thinking "King" or "Superbear"" said the large black bear excitedly.
"I think Goldie would have a small problem with those, but… wait... what the hell?" Mike gasped as he started quickly typing away on his laptop with some alarm.
"Mike? What's up? Is something wrong with his data?" Jeremy asked as he came over and looked at Mike's screen and hissed between his teeth. "Shit! Can you change it?"
"No, it's not allowing me too, for some stupid reason it's been protected." Mike hissed back as he continued to bash the buttons even harder.
"What's wrong?" Big Daddy asked frowning deeply, his red eyes burning into Mike, who had turned to him with a concerned look.
"I'm guessing you don't know, but according to your data, you already have a name… a not very nice one. Also it won't allow me to overwrite it."
"What is it? Is it really that bad?"
Mike sighed and rubbed his neck "Nightmare."
"What?"
"Your name is Nightmare." said Mike "And I can't change it right now. I'll have to talk to the guy that originally programmed you and get the password I need to change it."
The black bear continued to frown and looked confused "Why give me such an awful name? I'm nice... friendly… I'm actually a big softy... so why?"
"Nightmare... Big Daddy... do you know what you look like? I mean have you ever seen yourself in a mirror or a reflected surface?" Mike asked trying to be as gentle as possible.
"What have my looks got to do with anything? It's because I'm big isn't, because I'm FAT."
"No... it's not that at all" said Jeremy "And I'd say you were more cuddly than fat."
"Night... you been made to look really scary, even more then these guys, that's the reason why you've most likely been called that. You're meant to be the big scary animatronic in here."
Nightmare clenched his paws tightly "Show me…"
Mike and Jeremy looked at each other, not really sure at what to do, "Night...I don't think…"
"SHOW ME!" Nightmare roared making the Fredlings and Plush cringe and hide behind Freddystein who waved over Bon-Bon and Chloe to help him protect the little ones in case Big Daddy lost his temper.
Mike took out his phone and took a picture of Nightmare and then showed him the image. His optics widened to their maximum size as he stared at the image. His paws were shaking as he took the phone from Mike as he continued to look with horror at the image looking back at him. He then looked down at his own paw, as if he finally notices his long and powerful claws, before looking at Mike again with oil threatening to fall from his red eyes.
"This is me? I look like… am I? I'm a monster."
"No! No Night, that's not true, you're..."said Mike, but stopped when Nightmare let out a roar of rage and crushed his phone, ripping out the cable from his neck, sending sparks everywhere as he stormed out of the room knocking things out of his way as he continued to roar and snarl.
"I AM NOT A MONSTER!"
To Be Continued….
Anyone have an idea what to called the Fredlings? Cause I'm stuck.
