Fredbear was meditating in the garden. He had spent months training and felt ready to go to the past. He was just waiting for Paul's approval. Paul was the Time Weaver after all, and what he says goes. Fredbear sighed, looking at the pond in front of him. He HAD to go and save his family from years of sadness and torment at the hands of Freddy Fazbear! He was snapped out of his thoughts when Paul sat beside him. "You've been making excellent progress... I think it's time you went to save your family..."
Fredbear looked at Paul in shock, then hugged the man. "Thank you..." With that, he got up and ran to the middle of the garden. He stopped and closed his eyes, focusing his energy. With a single swing of his arm, he sliced a portal into the air in front of him. He looked back at Paul. "Again, thank you..." he said, then he walked through the portal. It closed behind him.
Paul smiled, looking at the pond in silence. He had been doing some thinking, and he figured he himself should make a trip to the past as well. Only his trip would be for a different reason. He slowly lifted his left hand, which was wrapped in bandages. He took one end of the bandages and slowly started unwrapping them from around his hand. His trip into the past would be just as personal as Fredbear's, but not as vital. The last of the bandages fell away, revealing an animatronic arm and hand. He moved it, creating whirring sounds as it flexed and moved.
He never told anyone, but he has had the arm since he was born. In fact, he was LITERALLY born with it. His father had been a human, and his mother had been an animatronic. He still wasn't sure how it happened, but then again he didn't really care. He was about to go back in time to meet his father's younger self find the restaurant his mother's younger self worked in. Paul chuckled. This was sure to get interesting. He got up and went inside. Once there, he grabbed a purple glove and slipped it over his hand. He had to hide it as much as possible. If anyone DID see it, he could always lie about how he got it.
He started gathering things to take with him to the past. Books, pencils, pens, anything school related. He was, after all, going to meet his father's younger self in college. He also made sure to change into a T-shirt and jeans, to make sure he fits in better. He walked past a photo and stopped. He went back to it and picked it up, a tiny smile appearing on his face. In the photo was a child version of himself, along with a man and an animatronic. The man had chocolate brown hair and ocean blue eyes, and he was wearing a guard uniform. The animatronic was also male, though it was hard to tell. It was a purple bunny with red eyes wearing a bright red bowtie. He was holding Paul and nuzzling him, while the brunette male laughed.
Paul smiled and put the picture back, thinking about what he was doing now. He grabbed a purple guard uniform from the closet and packed it as well. He then zipped up the backpack he was using and slung it over his shoulder. With one last look around, he opened a portal and walked through. When he came out the other side, he was on a college campus. He grinned.
"Finally here... good ol' 1987..."
And done! Like I said, whoever figures out Paul's little secret gets a shoutout and a cyber cookie!
That's it for now!
Until next time, Icy is out!
