Mike looked up when he heard a car pull up. he sighed noticing it was Jeremy Fitzgerald. god he hated that guy. he stood with his arms crossed over his chest, Freddy by his side like a guard dog. Mike pet his head gently. "easy Freddy." Mike said softly. the bear nodded and sat by his feet. Jeremy walked closely smiling, untill his eye's landed on the bear.
"think we could talk inside?" Jeremy ask. Mike huffed.
"your not afraid of little ol' Freddy here are you?" Mike ask, kneeling down to pet the bear, who reacted much like a puppy and nuzzled closer. Jeremy stepped back.
"not it's just hot outside and I want to talk." Jermey said. Mike huffed.
"alright but don't expect a drink or anything." Mike said. he walked up to his house, Jeremy following, with Freddy at his heels. he sat on the porch and watched the men talk inside the house.
"does it have to stare at us?" Jeremy ask.
"yes he does." Mike replied. a small mew like noise caught everyone, including Freddy's, attention. another one louder and sounded pained. Mike raced towards the noise. "shhh. hang on there little guy." Mike said. he'd gotten his head stuck under Mike's dresser, and his head was bleeding slightly. Foxy cried out louder in pain. "shhh. shhh I've got you." Mike said, managing to get him out. he hurried him to the counter and looked at his head. "awe it's just a little scratch, but we don't want it infected like your leg do we?" Mike ask with a small smile he quickly banaged the pups head.
"who the hell are you talking to?" Jeremy hissed, coming up behind him. he looked down. "it's a rat!" Jeremy shrieked, swatting at the pup on the counter. Foxy whimpered and stepped back, onto a hot stove burner from breakfast and practically screamed.
"shit!" Mike exclaimed. he quickly picked Foxy up and held the crying pup. "he's not a rat! he's a fox pup!" Mike exclaimed.
"looks like a rat! should be treated like one!" Jeremy hissed. "go! get leave!" Jeremy shouted. Foxy cried a loud pain filled cry that echoed for miles.
"Freddy!" Mike called. Freddy was instantly in action. he bit into Jeremy's pants and began to drag him out, while Mike fixed up the poor pup once more. he quickly bandaged his burnt paw and rocked the terrifed pup. "shhh. it's ok." Mike cooed gently. Foxy continued to cry in pain, so Mike managed to get him a small dosage of pain killer and slathered his burn with burn cream. once he got the fox to stop crying he went to check to see if Freddy had managed to get the man to leave. he hadn't, but he was working on it. "if I ever see you around here again, Jeremy, I'll call the cops!" Mike shouted cradling Foxy. Freddy snapped at Jeremy's heel's and he jumped into his car and took off. Freddy ran over.
"is he alright? the whole lot of us heard his cries." Freddy ask worriedly. Mike nodded.
"he'll be ok. he stepped on a hot burner when Jeremy scared him." Mike replied. once Foxy had calmed he'd slowly fallen asleep in the mans arms.
"I see." Freddy frowned. "should I have bit him?" Freddy ask. Mike shook his head.
"no, the government would probably have hurt you." Mike said. Freddy nodded. Mike craddled Foxy with a sigh and carried him back inside. Foxy snuggled closer to him in his sleep Mike smiled slightly. "I'm sorry little guy. it seems I've caused you more harm then good since you got here." Mike sighed. Foxy yawned and let out a small mew like noise. Mike looked down at him and saw his golden yellow eye's looking up at him, innocently. Mike smiled slightly and reached down, petting Foxy's belly. he smiled when his tail began to wag and his foot kicked. the pup managed to wrap his paws around the hand and chewed on it. Mike smiled again. he let the pup chew on his hand for a moment before the pup's paw caught his attention he let go of Mike's hand and went after his own paw. Mike chuckled untill the fox pup whined. Mike smiled and got up, making him another bottle. Foxy suckled on it and watched Mike, "I don't know what I'm going to do with you. obviously you can't walk if you wake up in the middle of the night and need to use the bathroom... and you can't use that pillow as a bathroom... ah-ha!" Mike smiled. he scooped up the tiny creature and went for his car. "Freddy watch over everyone, I'll be back in a while." Mike said and took off.
"Freddy, where's he going?" Chica ask. Freddy shrugged.
"but he took the fox thing with him, so he probably needs something from a store." Freddy said.
"but why would he take the fox?" Chica ask.
"maybe it's something for him, to help him get better. I saw his cuts last night, they were nasty. I'll be surprized if his leg doesn't have to come off." Freddy said. Chica looked saddened. "don't worry, Mike know's what he's doing." Freddy added. Mike came back a few hours later with a bag in one hand and Foxy in his other. Foxy was watching them, his tail between his legs, and he seemed to be slipping. Foxy mewd and clawed slightly at the arm.
"hang on little guy." Mike said. he re-adjusted the fox, and fought with his door. "stupid door." Mike hissed. the fox mew'd again, slipping more. he fell from Mikes grasp and fell to the porch, but something or someone, caught him. he opened his eye's to see a purple rabbit, bigger then he, looking down at him.
"are you ok?" Bonnie ask. Foxy continued to stare at him. Bonnie looked him over.
"good catch Bonnie." Mike said kicking his door in. he went inside and put his stuff down then came back for Foxy. Foxy was still staring at Bonnie, but he wasn't panicking, so that was good. Bonnie handed him over and Foxy continued to watch him as he was carried inside the house. Mike smiled. "well Bonnie seems like you've made a friend." Mike smiled. Bonnie smiled slightly and went off.
'Bonnie.'
Foxy thought, cooing softly watching him go. Mike smiled and took him inside. "now your not gonna like this, but I can't have your peeing everywhere." Mike said. he had to hold the pup down for a moment, but he managed to what he needed to do. Foxy stared at the item and faught with it. "no no no. you need this. it's a diaper it won't hurt you." Mike said. Foxy hissed at it and tried to rip it off, only succeeding in hurting himself. he cried and Mike picked him up. "now that enough of that, cry all you want, your wearing that." Mike said. he remembered when he had to put Freddy in one after he'd fallen in a bear trap and broken both of his legs. the bear had constantly ripped his off and pee'd on the floor, claiming they were itchy. eventually Freddy got used to them and wore them till he could walk. Foxy, however, wouldn't stop crying.
"do you think he's broken?" Chica ask softly. Bonnie shook his head and explained to her what was wrong.
"he just doesn't like it." Bonnie said. he'd been around when Freddy had broken his legs, Chica hadn't. Bonnie remembered spending days at Freddy's side talking to him and providing company. Mike quickly made a bottle and put it in his mouth. Foxy instantly clamped down on it, suckling quietly. Mike smiled at him and shook his head. he'd only taken care of one other fox before, Mangle, and she was much older than this little guy. Mike sat down, with Foxy, in his chair. he looked up at Mike while he drank the milk. Mike began talking to him, going on and on about wishing he could talk so he could know his name. Foxy looked up at Mike innocently.
"I mean, I can't just keep calling you 'little guy' you my start thinking it's your name." Mike sighed. he listened to a commercical when a word came up. it had the pup mewing at it and Mike rewound it. when the word played again Foxy mewed again. "you like that word huh?" Mike ask. he snapped his fingers. "thats it isn't it! your name's Foxy!" Mike exclaimed. Foxy seemed to purr as he continued to suck down the milk. Mike smiled. "well then Foxy, welcome to the family." Mike smiled. Foxy fell asleep sucking the bottle down and Mike lay'd him carefully on his chair, getting up to go feed the others. he walked outside with a bright smile.
"whats got you so chipper?" Chica ask.
"I was watching tv and the little guy just started going nuts when he heard a word, so I replayed it. guess what? I know his name now." Mike smiled. everyone looked surprized.
"well what is it?" Freddy ask.
"his name is Foxy." Mike smiled.
"yay for Foxy!" Chica cried loudly. everyone cheered. Mike put a finger to his lips.
