Petey flew all the way to Silver, he started pecking the cowboy to get his attention. Silver looked to the bird in confusion, Petey squawked,
"Star...Damaged... Send...Help...to follow me" Silver looked wide eyed at the bird, he pointed to Copper.
"You come with me." Copper nodded, Silver got on his back. Petey lead the way to Star, when they got there the cowboy quickly got off, almost squishing the plush Spring beneath him. Mangle scooped Spring and Golden up, to keep them from being trampled. Silver bent down near Star and examined her, he spoke up
"She's back for us all of us..." He said to Copper, who backed up a bit hooves clattering on the tile floor. "She's come back to kill the Love's Dinner Crew.. Thank god Flower is else where...She'd be next.." Silver picked up Star and set her down in Copper's saddle. He picked up her arm and ear, but left the twisted pieces of metal. He walked away in the same pace as Copper, with Star's body leaning against him. Mangle finally set down Spring and Golden, Spring went to the pieces of metal. A few bits had color on them, the remains of her eye, he shivered. Vince appeared around the corner, he looked down at Spring and shook his head.
"Me and Silver are going to try and fix her, but she won't wake back up until Flower comes back." Vince almost looked sad, as he slowly walked across the floor back towards the saferoom. Spring wanted to cry, the purple cat had become one of his close friends. But something caught his eye, an apron, with the words Welcome to Love's Family Daycare. He walked over to it, Mangle picked it up it was covered in dried blood and oil.
"Should we tell him?" Spring shook his head,
"I have a feeling they already know." Spring replied, Spring knew who did it, Isabella the Daycare Cat.
--Week later--
Flower had finally returned, but with more than expected. 9 More animatronics to be precise, Funtime Foxy ((Fixy)), Funtime Freddy and Bawn-Bon ((Fin and Bawn)), Baby, Ballora, Bidibad, The minireenas ((Lucy, Lauren, Lyra)), and Lolbit. They kept calling her mom, for some strange reason, Flower explained that the oldest kid in the group was 5. Spring snickered when they did, but soon they would find him and open their face plates. Which scared the crap out of him, Flower often left the older animatronics to babysit the younger ones. Silver enjoyed them along with Mangle, Spring and Golden were just..Well let's just say some times annoyed. Vince and Flower were still working on the anti-virus, so Spring can have his body back. While Star had never been reactivated, and sat motionless on a table, her arm, ear and jaw had been fixed. Flower one day brought another temporary plush to keep Star stable. When Spring realized that it was Star, he felt bad but was happy to hear the older animatronic's voice again.
"Can't you just fix me?" Star asked Flower
"Do you think I like doing this? I only use the dolls in emergency occasions! I hate, removing souls from their bodies if I had a choice I wouldn't do it!" Flower replied, she was upset not at Star, but at their failure at trying to fight the virus. Star looked down, "Star I'm sorry it's just... I'm done with Afton, now with less people to fight him I'm getting frustrated... I'm sorry I snapped at you.." Spring walked out from where he was at,
"Does that mean you haven't found a cure?" Spring asked, Flower nodded, "What about Vince is he okay?" Flower smiled
"We take shifts, either I do it during the day, and he does it during the night or vice a versea. Will's helping out though too, as unstable as he is I would trust him with my life." Spring saw her wings and noticed that all the flight feathers where gone, she had been clipped. Her large white wings were almost completely useless, as Spring felt. She noticed the note and file, "You saw?" Spring nodded,
"Imaginary? Really?" Flower smiled, and nodded,
"What else do you call a being only one person can see?" Flower grinned, and Spring laughed, "Other than that to the Locks that was all I was a pigment of Vince's mind. Or at least they thought so."
"What was William like?" Spring asked, Flower thought hard about it for a minute.
"If you think about it hard enough you find the answer inside you." Spring thought Flower was just being cryptic, but he looked to Star who nodded.
"I'm assuming that Star will be staying with me and Golden?" Flower nodded and looked to the cat plush and moved Star back in front of her.
"Well shift change for me, Vince will be out in a minute." Flower got up and walked away, Spring peeked around the corner and saw Flower talking to Vince. Flower walked into the room Vince had just left, Vince was walking towards the saferoom. His night guard uniform seemed to glow in the darkness, Vince was acting a little sluggish. Spring left Star with Golden, and he followed the teenager. Vince walked right though the saferoom, he went past the Parts and service room. He stopped at an exit, he opened the door, the moon was full and there was a breeze blowing. Vince shut the door and continued walking, he passed right by the toys, Marionette wasn't out so he was fine. There was a man communicating with another man, Vince eyed him wearily. After the other man had left the restaurant, Vince waved to the man that had stayed behind. Surprisingly the man waved back, the two of them walked to an office.
"Vince, Where have you been?" The man asked
"Uhh...Dead.. Why?" Vince replied
"Where is your body?"
"Doesn't matter.. Besides Harry, this place has enough history to get it shut down, we keep this in between us alright?" ((Vince))
"You care about it don't you?"((Harry))
"I care for the robots, they have their own lives too." ((Vince))
"So I have heard.." Vince looked at Harry in shock
"Who told you?" ((Vince)) Harry shrugged
"I don't know... Only after I had heard it, did our father's actions make sense to me." ((Harry))
"Agreed but you must make your own rules for your own robots, but I must ask of you for extra scrap metal. I would like to repair one of your own, if you don't mind." ((Vince))
"And how do you expect to fix a robot that is mangled? Because that's why we call her Mangle, there's not much you can do. Plus your dead how do you expect to fix her?" ((Harry)) Vince went to Harry's desk and picked up a pen, and handed it to him.
"Try me." ((Vince)) Harry nodded,
"Okay point proven, I will get some metal and paint for you." ((Harry))
"Thanks...Brother." ((Vince))
"No problem."((Harry))
"But before you go did father leave anything of William Afton's behind? If so can you bring it in?" ((Vince))
"Of course I will." ((Harry))
Harry opened the door and the two of them left the office. Spring went unnoticed back to where Vince was heading, Vince sighed,
"Spring I know your there, you might as well come out." Spring came out from behind the corner, Vince picked him up and set Spring on his shoulder. Vince had never looked so exhausted, in the entire time Spring had known him. Vince's eyes seemed to glitch out turning into a bright . purple, Spring almost jumped off Vince's shoulder. When Vince spoke this time it was the same voice as the one who had spoke before Mr Afton came.
"I wouldn't worry he's fine, just taking a 'rest'." He spoke, Spring remembered that he would take a break and Vince would take over control over his body.
"So your not going to attack me?" Spring asked, Vince shook his head
"Now Why would I do that?" The voice spoke, Spring felt that he should have recognized the voice, then it came to him.
"Mr Afton?" Spring wanted to know if he was close, if this was his creator, Vince shook his head.
"No, maybe at a point but not now.. But if you don't mind you can call me William or Will which ever you want." Will spoke, as if his mind where made up. He walked back in to a random room, but went thought a recently dug hole in the wall. He walked in, inside was a stage in a western style backdrop. Spring was curious where they where.
"Where are we?" Spring looked around as he said this, Will sighed.
"The rest of Love's Dinner, Cowboy's Cavern, but I'm looking for two things in particular." Will was heading towards a sealed up door, he picked up an axe from the emergency box, he swung it right in to the wall. The wall came crumbling down, there was a door behind it, but the door was locked. Will ran full force into it, breaking it down. Inside the room was two animatronics who looked up at Will. There was a poodle on two legs in a dress, she got up first, she left the room. She reminded Spring of Mangle, she was made of blue, pink, and white pieces. The other left the room, she looked more like Star, but she had pink cheeks like the toys. The cat glared at Will and Spring.
"You might have freed us, but we won't forgive you for that night." The cat hissed at Will.
"Well it's good to see you too. You haven't changed a bit, you still act like an 12 year old." The cat hissed at him and the poodle growled,
"What do you want from us? You wouldn't have freed the only two who remember what you did. Unless you needed us.." The poodle growled, Will took Spring off his shoulder and set him down on the stage. The two animatronics watched in curiosity, as Will stepped back with his hands up.
"Your right, I wouldn't have unless I needed you. Isabella is back, and our side is dropping like flies. Star was the most recent attack, she's stuck as a doll for the time being. Flower needs help, now you'll not help me, but what about her she needs protection."
"You speak of our sister as if she is still alive which she isn't thanks to you! And now we aren't too!" The animatronics spat at William, he shrugged
"And if I told you it was your father's fault? That I never wanted to hurt anyone? Do you think I wanted to hurt my only friend?" He spoke and the two of them exchanged looks, Will was starting to shake possibly in fear of the two animatronics. "I would have never done what I have done if it wasn't for your father, look alright I'm sorry. I want to forget the past, but that's all that's left of me. I was reincarnated it to my own son after I shattered myself. He's here too of course and I don't want any of this on him, honestly I wish he could never find out." The animatronics talked to each other, for a split second.
"Fine we forgive you, as for your friend there, I'm Toy Star. And this is Puddle." The cat gestured to herself then the poodle. Spring nodded, remembering that Flower had mentioned them before. William picked Spring back up, putting him back up on his shoulder.
"Do you think Mangle would mind if they stayed with her?" William asked Spring, Spring shook his head.
"I don't think so, if they act like kids, she'll love them." Spring replied, as Will lead T.Star and Puddle too Mangle's room, Will knocked on the door. Mangle opened it,
"Can you watch these two till I can talk to Flower?" Will asked, Mangle peered around him looking at the two animatronics behind him. They were seemingly distracted by everything, Mangle nodded. "Puddle, T.Star you will stay with Mangle okay?" The animatronics looked to Mangle before following her in to her room. Will took Spring back with him to the saferoom, he slid down the wall, and fell asleep. Spring crawled down him careful not to wake him, he sat down on the floor beside Will/Vince. Spring soon got tired too and fell asleep right next to Vince and Will.
