Wow… This chapter is so special to me… This story has more than 10000 views and more than 50 reviews, followers and favorites! You guys are just amazing. You don't know how much I appreciate you all.
I'm sure that all of you are worried if the animatronics will live… or if they will die… Today we will see it! What would it be? The happy ending? Or the dreadfully bad ending?
Also, I want to make a special mention in this chapter to They Call me Prophet. He has been trying to proofread my recent chapters lately. Unfortunately, he's having some problems right now so he couldn't proofread them. Still, I want to thank him for the effort.
Well, let's start this long awaited chapter, shall we?
Ch. 12 Stay with me
You were in the middle of a traffic delay since there was an accident a couple of blocks forward. It was raining heavily but you could get an umbrella before going out home. You groaned and pressed the steering wheel "*groan* Move already!" You yelled angrily inside your car. You were on an extreme hurry today… and this happened?
You looked at your watch nervously as you saw that it was already 7 PM. Time was passing, and you weren't sure if you were already late to save the animatronics. You decided to take another longer route, but you'll arrive at the restaurant faster since the main road was obstructed.
Finally you could arrive at the establishment at 8 PM. You ran out of your car with your umbrella as you saw your boss with a rain coat and a huge truck driving away of the place. You widened your eyes as you thought in the worst scenario; all the animatronics were in the truck, ready for being taken apart and forgotten of the world…
(No… Even if I could save them… I came here too late…?) You felt so depressed now, you were so excited that you could make them 'live' a little longer… and still…
Mr. Fredbear noticed you and he spoke up confused "What are you doing here kiddo? It's raining quite badly…"
You looked at the pavement with sadness "Oh… Nothing… I just thought that I could see them one more time… but it seems that I'm too late…"
"Okay, go home then. I'll need to stay here a little longer because of those stupid incompetents" He said angrily as he looked at the far away truck.
(What…?) That was quite suspicious… Why would they be incompetents? "Why do you say that?" You asked.
"It seems that the truck wasn't big enough for those robots so they took a half of them. In an hour they will come back to get the others…"
They just took a half of them…? That didn't relax you… but somehow, you wanted to ask further "Just for curiosity… Which had they exactly taken for now…?"
"Um… For now, they have the old models. Those are the most dangerous things of this place… They also took that weird puppet thing. But the new models are still inside. Why do you ask?"
Those words made your heart jump with happiness. They were still alright! You still had a chance! You ran at the old man quickly with decision "Mr. Fredbear, I want to propose you something" You said severely.
"Wh-What is it, kiddo…?" He asked a little taken back.
You sighed and recoiled yourself (Remember. No matter what he says; don't stop until he let you buy them) You said to yourself before speaking "I want you to sell me the animatronics"
You both remained silent until the old man started to laugh "Ha ha ha! That's a good one; you almost got me there, kiddo!"
"I'm serious" You said with deep seriousness. Mr. Fredbear stopped laughing when he saw you weren't kidding.
"Really? You really want to buy them?! Are you crazy?! Didn't you see what they had done to this place?! They killed someone! You are signing your death sentence!" He yelled freaked out.
"That's not true. They are entirely innocent; they mustn't be trashed. Because of that, I want and I will buy them. You won't change my mind" You said with no trace of doubt.
The old man looked at you confused. He couldn't believe that your attachment could have reached this extreme. You decided to intervene to convince him "I know they're expensive, but I don't care. I will pay every cent of them. Take the pay you gave me this morning if you want, I'll do whatever it costs to save them" You said as you lent him the ticket with the money with no second thoughts.
He pushed your hand as he sighed "Take that ticket kiddo… You can have them…" You widened your eyes happily as you heard those words "I don't care what happens to those things; I just want them to be away from me. So take them with you, they're all yours…"
You took his hand with violence as you shook it joyfully "Thank you! Thank you very much!" You couldn't describe the happiness you were feeling in that moment.
"Yeah yeah, whatever… When the truck arrives I'll say him to transport them to your house. I'm sure that you won't be able to carry all of them in your car" He said as he took his phone to call the truck driver for this change. Meanwhile, you entered in the restaurant and looked at five large wood boxes. You smiled as you knew that they were inside them, safe and sound… You rested your forehead on one of the boxes as you sighed in relief and let a few tears to fall down your cheeks (I made it guys… I saved you…)
An hour later, the truck arrived. You helped the driver to put the boxes inside and requested him to follow you until home. You even gave to him your ticket to pay the transport, which he accepted gladly. You drove your car once again home as the truck followed you from behind.
Once both of you returned to your place, he helped you to transport the boxes inside and then he left you alone. You opened every box with a relieved smile as you saw that everyone was there.
The first one to wake up was Chica. She held her head and blinked a couple of times to get used to the light. She looked around confused until she stared at you. She gasped and widened her eyes "W-Wha-What…?!"
"Good morning" You said sweetly.
"But…! But I thought I would never wake up…! How did you…?!"
"It's a long story. For now, help me to wake up the others, okay?" You said as you helped her to stand up. She looked hesitant for a second as she shivered confused.
"But… how? Oh god; if this is a dream, don't wake me up ever…" She said as she closed her eyes and prayed.
"Chica… you're a robot… How could you be dreaming?" You said as she opened again her eyes in realization. It was true, she couldn't dream… and still, here she was! She hugged you tightly as she cried out loudly.
"Buaaah! I don't know what *sob* you did but… thank you…!" She yelled as you patted her back to calm her.
Eventually, Mangle and BB woke up too, and of course, they also cried. Both of them hugged you tightly at the same time. You couldn't blame them, you just smiled "It's okay guys… Chica, go and turn Freddy on while I turn Bonnie on" The humanized chicken nodded with a confident smile as she pushed the little button on Freddy's back.
Freddy blinked a couple of times before looking at Chica with confusion "Chi-Chica…? What are you doing here?" Chica just giggled as she pointed at you.
"He saved us… I don't know how, but he could save us…" She said softly as Freddy looked at you amazed.
Meanwhile, you pushed the button on Bonnie's back and waited for her to wake up; you couldn't wait to see her face when she sees you again. However, she just stayed limb on your arms (What…?) You said as you pushed the button again, but she wasn't moving. You looked at the others with confusion, but they just shrugged.
This was worrying, Bonnie wasn't waking up… Maybe her servos got damaged inside that box? Just thinking about that made your heart to run quickly "Bonnie? Bonnie?" You tried to make her to work as you gave her soft slaps on the cheek. It was fruitless, she wasn't moving at all.
You let out a few tears as you caressed her face slowly "Bonnie… Don't leave me… Just when I was about to save you once and for all… you do this to me…?" She didn't respond… You hugged her as you sobbed slightly "Come on… Say something… Wake up… I don't care what you do, but please… Come back with me…"
Suddenly, you felt something soft yet cold pressing your lips. You opened your wet eyes and saw that Bonnie was blushing and smiling at you "I'm wide awake silly!" She giggled. You frowned a little annoyed, but it was replaced for a big smile as you hugged her tightly.
"I knew you will do it…" She whispered "I knew that you won't give up so easily… Even when Mr. Fredbear turned me off I was sure that you would come… and so you did…" She said as she let out a few tears of excitement.
You requested them to sit on the couch as you prepared a few drinks so they could be comfortable. Then you told them what happened after you left the restaurant this afternoon. Freddy was the first one to talk "So… you bought us?" You nodded.
"What happened to the older models and the Puppet?" Mangle asked with curiosity.
"It was too late for them when I arrived, so I'm sure they're being trashed right now"
"And… where are we?" BB asked as he looked at everywhere.
"This is my house. You'll live here from now one, I guess" You said.
The robots looked reluctant for a second; they felt like if they were intruding here. Like if they shouldn't be there "Um… D-Do you really don't mind that w-we stay here?" Chica asked a little nervous.
"Of course not! Where would you go anyways? Right now, nobody has a good impression of you guys. So of course you can stay!" You said with happiness. All the robots looked at you with a smile as they gave you a huge group hug. Again, they were suffocating you, but it wasn't nothing compared to the happiness you were feeling that they could live.
You showed them the entire house so they could get used to it. They were saying 'Oooh' amazed every room you showed them. It was reasonable, they have never been outside of that restaurant so this place is a whole new adventure for them.
"Well, and this is it! I hope you could be happy here!" You said "And… I don't know you… but I'm starving! Why don't we retake what we were about to do today?" You suggested. The animatronics gasped as they realized what you were trying to say. Supposedly, you were going to celebrate that you could make the five nights at the establishment; however, all the mess that occurred today screwed up the celebration.
But now that everything was solved, you could make a party EVEN better to celebrate that the animatronics could live! The robots cheered at the same time as they ran at the kitchen joyfully. You were the entire night telling some horror stories, jokes or talking about nowadays matters. But above all, you all shared laughs of relief.
For a second… you remembered the first night in the establishment… That heartwarming image was exactly the same you were seeing right now… There were just two differences this time. The first one was obviously the place. But the second one is that this time it actually meant something… The first night with them felt like an unexpected meeting with some unexpected guests. This time it felt like a great meeting a family would have if someone of them could recover from a serious illness. Because… you didn't realize it until now… but these guys were just like a family for you… and you were sure that they felt the same way about you.
Eventually, the clock rang as it showed that it was midnight "Well, time to sleep guys" You said.
"Nonsense!" BB said as he stood up with a jump "I still have a lot of energy to burn! I would never go to sleep so easil… Zzzzz" And suddenly, he fell onto the floor as he started to snore. Freddy giggled "*sigh* So predictable BB… So predictable…"
You laughed "Let's go all to sleep. Just one person fits in my bed but BB is small enough to fit with someone else" You said as you thought how to organize them judging from the places to sleep "I think I have a couple of mattress in my closet so Bonnie, Freddy and Mangle can sleep there. I'll sleep on the sofa" You said.
A couple of minutes later, all of them were already sleeping peacefully on their places. You were lying on the couch as you watched TV; you couldn't sleep because of your night shift (Well, it will be a matter of time that I can sleep normally again) Suddenly, you heard some footsteps coming from the hall. You looked at the living room's door as you saw Bonnie walking carefully.
"Bonnie, what are you doing? It's already 1 AM. You should be sleeping" You whispered softly.
"I can't sleep. Furthermore, I can ask you the same. Why are you up too?" She said as she sat beside you.
"You got me… I can't sleep either"
"… D-Do you want me t-to keep you company…?" She asked shyly.
You smiled at her "Sure… Come here…" You said as you moved her closer to you. She looked at the TV with curiosity "What are you watching?"
"The Big Bang Theory. It's a really amusing program" You said softly.
Bonnie watched it with you; she also let out a couple of giggles every time that Sheldon did something hilarious. Looks like she was enjoying the program too. Eventually, she rested her head on your shoulder as she spoke softly "I'm so happy that I could meet you…"
"So I am, Bon…" You said as you stroked her hair. Her ears lowered a bit as she closed her eyes. She blushed a little as she was enjoying the little massage you were giving her on the head.
"You don't know how grateful I am that you saved us…" She spoke again.
"I can imagine… Because I will never leave such an amazing friends behind. Ever…" Then, she looked at you with her beautiful shining green eyes. Her blush became redder. She gulped a little before talking again.
"(Y/N)… About what happened at the restaurant…" You knew that she was referring to that kiss. She was understandably nervous if you were mad at her about that. You just smiled as you caressed her cheek.
"Don't worry about that, Bon… I love you too…" Bonnie looked at you surprised as she let a few tears flow down her cheeks. She couldn't belief what was hearing.
"A-A-Are you su-sure…? Yo-You don't mind that I-I'm a robot…?" She asked with little hiccups.
"I don't care about that anymore… For me, you look perfectly human, so I don't mind, really…" You said as you caressed her chin softly.
"*sob* I-I love you too…" She said before closing her eyes and licking her lips slightly. You closed your eyes and brought her chin closer to your face… You kissed her passionately as your tongues danced together between the lips. Surprisingly, her lips and tongue were warmer than before… it was so enchanting, just like her eyes…
A few second later, you separated your lips and looked at each other with affection. She cuddled with you and rested her head on your chest. You kissed her temple and spoke softly "I love you guys so much… But especially… I love you so much, Bon… Stay with me please…"
She stroked your chest slowly as she spoke "I'll never leave you… I'll stay with you forever, I promise…" She said sweetly as she closed her eyes slowly. After that, you could hear that she was snoring quietly (How cute… She slept onto my chest…) You hugged her and brought her closer to you.
Then, you started to think what will you do with the animatronics from now on… They couldn't find a work on their own since they were just a bunch of robots in the eyes of everyone else. But suddenly… an idea crossed your mind… It was something risky and hard, but it surely will make them happy. You picked up the your mobile phone.
"Hello?" A male voice said at the other side of the phone.
"Hi dad… How are you doing?" You whispered carefully not to wake Bonnie up.
"(Y/N), my boy? Why are you calling so late at night?" Your dad asked confused.
"Oh, it's nothing… I just wanted to ask… You were planning to open up a new restaurant soon, right?" You asked him.
"Sure! The establishment is already prepared but I still need to find some employees…" You smirked when you heard those last words.
"Dad… I think I've found some employees for you…"
To be continue…
Phew… Looks like the animatronics are safe… And maybe they could work again in a restaurant? We'll see soon…
Again, I want to thank you all for the amazing support you have been giving to this story. You're amazing, guys!
Please review and see you in the last part of this story!
