It was almost time to depart, and Belle held her black suitcase close to her. Edd stood next to her, his arm barely brushing hers.
Elliot, Sylvia, and Skylar were talking excitedly, Sylvia occasionally laughing. She looked happy, and that in turn made Edd happy.
Elliot made a ridiculous face to correspond with whatever story she was telling and Sylvia and Skylar burst out laughing. The five were seriously going to miss each other when they left.
Leaving was going to be hard for all of them. They had bonded so well in the short time that they had been in New York together, what with being nearly killed. Run-ins with killers and kidnappers seemed to run in the family.
Gold was watching the news, putting off the good-byes that he hated so much, as Skylar had told them. He held the remote in one hand and he stood just in front of the couch, one hand on his hip in a very sassy pose. Gold called it his "attract the ladies" pose.
"Hey Gold, can you come say goodbye to your family and friends?" Freddy asked, cocking his head at his brother. He had one arm around Chica.
"Yeah, just give me a sehhh..." Gold trailed off, his mouth dropping open in shock and his eyes sticking to the television. The TV remote slid out of his hand and clattered to the floor. Everyone looked over at him in surprise.
"Gold? what's the matter?" Bonnie asked, rushing to see. His eyes were glued to the screen, full of terror. The blue-haired woman followed his gaze and looked at the screen as well.
Bonnie's expression melted into the same look. And that scared everyone. If Bonnie was scared enough to externally show it, something was seriously wrong. Foxy cursed under his breath.
The news reporter was talking, but nobody was listening at the moment. They were all silently staring at the television in fear. It seemed like everyone was holding their breaths.
A twitching greenish-yellow animatronic was shown on the screen. There were armed guards and doctors around him. His eyes stared directly into the camera. Blood stains and other things that couldn't currently be identified peeked out of and leaked from holes in the suit. There was a small bit of purple visible though a hole on the shoulder.
"-doctors are working on extracting him from the suit before it's too late," the news reporter was saying. "We have a place for him once he's removed."
Sylvia started breaking down, gripping onto Bonnie's arm tightly. The room was silent except for her quiet sobbing. Elliot and Skylar were stone faced, and Belle was holding Edd's hand tightly, him holding hers just as tightly.
Gold shook his head. "No... no he can't..." He turned to look at Bonnie. "Can he? Y-you saw him in the suit..." he trailed off again.
Percy was still alive.
Bonnie laughed bitterly. "Jenny, Er, Percy, is coming back." She took a shaky breath. "I feel like she - or - he always does."
BAD ENDING.
