Chapter 6: New Feelings

Heather looked over the blueprints of Foxy and made sure to take note on his more sensitive parts. When she was done, she nodded happily and put the book down. She then grabbed a wrench and screwdriver. Foxy shifted somewhat uncomfortable when he saw the tools. Heather then turned to him and walked over. She smiled at him when she noticed his nervous glance.

"It'll be fine, Foxy," Heather said reassuringly. "It shouldn't hurt that much. I will try to be careful." Foxy gave her another glance of nervousness and gave in. He then turned his back to her so she would have access to his circuits and wires. Heather got right to work, she removed the back panel and what she saw was just a mess of wires. He had loose wires, his gears were out of alignment, some of them were rusted, etc.

"So, you still remember me from when you were a kid?" Foxy asked as he tried to break the silence.

"Yep, I could never forget you," Heather said as she got to work reconnecting the wires according to the blueprints she had seen. "You were my best friend." Foxy looked back at her slightly and then continued to stare at the ground.

"I…I'm sorry, Heather," Foxy said as his tone changed to one of sorrow.

"What are you sorry for?" She asked as she continued her work. She accidently pulled a wire and Foxy screeched. "Whoops sorry."

"It's fine….just be careful that hurt," Foxy said as he clenched his mouth shut to try and prevent another screech. "I am sorry for trying to kill you. For being, well…"

"An ass?" Heather said as she continued the wire work. Foxy chuckled at the sound of the word and nodded.

"Yes, an ass," He agreed. "I am just…sad I guess." Heather stopped and listened to the poor fox.

"Stop apologizing," Heather stated. "I am not mad at you. You were angry and feeling way too many emotions. I forgive you…Riley." Foxy looked back at her and smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Heather," Foxy said as he his previous nervousness calmed. "Thank you for believing me." Heather smiled at him and then continued her work. This poor guy that she knew from her childhood was trapped in the animatronic for about 20 years and no one knew but her. She just couldn't help but feel...sorry for him. She just wanted to help him, but she knew she couldn't, or, at least, she didn't know how.

After a while of tinkering with Foxy's gears and wires, Heather stopped and rubbed forehead. She had oil on her hands due to an oil leak in one of Foxy's pipes and, well...it got on her face as well. Heather closed him up and sat down on a nearby box.

"So far so good, Foxy," she said as she smiled over at him. "I just need to finish rewiring a couple more things and the inside of your suit should be good." Foxy looked over at her and smiled.

"Again, thank-you," Foxy said as he looked at her. "No one has ever done this just to help me before. A lot of the time, no one will even go near me." She smiled at the animatronic and got up from her box. She walked over to him and hugged red fox that she knew as a long lost friend. Foxy was surprised slightly by the hug, but smiled and hugged her back. Heather let go and sat down right next to the animatronic.

"Of course, I would help you," She said as she kinda leaned forward, using her elbows to support herself on her thighs. "Even if you weren't Riley, I would've still helped you." Foxy smiled at her and looked away. Heather noticed that Foxy's fur around his muzzle was slightly darker than usual. Was he...blushing?

"Are you blushing Foxy?" Heather asked as she teased the fox. Foxy looked at her quickly, surprised.

"N-no! I'm not!" Foxy said quickly in a nervous tone and looked away, hoping to hide the obvious blush. Heather giggled and pushed him slightly.

"You are blushing, that's so cute," She said happily. "You look so adorable." Foxy blushed more and completely turned away from the girl.

"Shut up!" He said with embarrassment in his voice. Heather laughed more and hugged the fox.

"It's ok to blush Foxy," She said as she put her chin on his shoulder. Foxy looked down still blushing hard.

"I hate you, you know that," Foxy said. Heather giggled and let go.

"I know," She said happily. The two then began to laugh about the moment and were happy to have each others company.
