Chapter 4- Old Acquaintances
The day off was just what the animatronics needed. They had time to rest and they just got to sit down and talk. Even though Chica never left Pirate Cove. She had been there since last night. She didn't want to leave Foxy's side for anything. Foxy had some different thoughts however.
"Chica, you know you don't have to stay in here with me right?" Foxy asked.
"I know! I just want to keep you company." she replied.
"Well it's not like I can entertain me or anything. Go on, go hang out with the others." he said.
"But what about you." she said.
"I've left alone for years at a time. I'll be fine." he said.
She slowly nodded since she didn't like when he said things like that. He wasn't alone anymore. She was here for him. She walked outside and she sat down with the others. They looked at her with surprise.
"You're not with Foxy?" asked Bonnie.
"He said he would be fine so I should come out here with you guys for a while." she replied.
"Oh."
They sat there and talked until Mike came in. It was still really far from his shift, but he promised to hang out with us. He came in and put his stuff down with a serious look on his face. He sat next to them and got their attention. The others noticed his look and got concerned.
"What's wrong Mike?" asked Chica.
"This is kind of unfortunate, but I have to power on Scar so we can still use him for performances." Mike said.
"What! Why?!" said Chica.
"His joints need to be able to move to use him so we need to let him move around." he replied.
"Oh come on!" she said.
"As much as I don't' want to, it might be for the best." said Freddy. Chica gave him a look.
"Imagine if he did that to Bonnie. Still want to let him out?" she asked. Freddy heard that and completely changed his opinion.
"Don't do it." he said almost growling. Bonnie felt happy at his concern.
"Guys, I'll just make him stay in the backstage area." Mike said.
They looked like they were going to object, but then decided against it. They hesitantly agreed and followed Mike to the backstage area. Mike went in and powered on Scar. Scar woke and looked around for a second. Then he remembered what happened. He looked up to see angry animatronics looking down at him. He just looked back down at the ground in anger. Mike undid his chains.
"You can move around, but don't leave this room. If you do there will be consequences." Mike said while gesturing toward the other animatronics.
Scar nodded in response and the others left. He kept sitting there for a second. He then got up and stretched for a while. It was hard to be shut off because when you are you are still aware of everything. It's like you're on, but you can't move a single inch. He then started to pace angrily.
"Darn that fox." he mumbled to himself. "Chica should be mine instead of his."
He was doing that for a while until he noticed something. It was in the dark corner of the room. He walked closer to it and he couldn't believe what he was seeing. There were other animatronics there and they looked like the animatronics he knew, but they were different. They had different body sizes and the bunny and the fox had different designs. The fox seemed to be female however. Then he saw a tall and slender black figure next to them. He thought that didn't look like anyone. He got curious and he got a closer look at all of them. They seemed to be dismantled. He decided he would try to fix them. He figured he would have the skills to. He got to work. After about an hour, he was finally done. He decided to power up the slender figure first. When he did, the figure didn't stir like he and the others would. He got up super fast and began to shout.
"Darn those animatronics!" he said.
"Who are you?" asked Scar.
The figure looked at him. He had never seen this person before so he was bit of confused for a while. He regained his composure and introduced himself.
"My name Marionette." he said. "And you?" he asked.
"Scar the wolf." he replied.
"You wouldn't mind turning on my associates would you?" the Marionette asked.
"Sure."
He turned on the others and they all had similar reactions. Saying something about Foxy seemed to be main thing going on with them. They all thanked him and introduced themselves.
"Okay before we get to far into this conservation can you guys tell why you all hate." Scar asked.
They told them about how they all tried to get their places back and they turned Foxy to their side, but he turned against them. What really surprised him, however, was Mangle's side of the story.
"Wait, you love Foxy?" asked Scar.
"Yeah and I still do. If it wasn't for that chicken he would be mine." she replied.
"I have a similar problem. I love Chica, but that Foxy is just getting in my way." Scar explained.
They were surprised to hear that themselves. They all wanted to get Foxy out of the picture. By that they meant they wanted him to be separated from his main group right now. They devised a plan with each other at that moment. They went to the backstage door and they looked around. They didn't see the others, but they heard rustling in the kitchen. Scar quietly ran out and peeked into Pirate Cove. Foxy was sleeping. He called the other animatronics out of the room and let them get into the curtains. They went to a dark corner of the room and stayed out of sight. Scar went back to the backstage. After a while he was shut down and the others kept talking at one of the tables. Foxy woke up after a while and looked around. He sighed and looked at the ceiling daydreaming. He heard slight movement. He looked to the corner of the room and called out.
"Who's there?" he asked quietly since his throat hurt.
At first he heard nothing. He sat there for a while until he heard two words.
"It's me…."
