Chapter 25

Chica sighed as she opened her eyes the next morning. She wished those stupid dreams would stop. They weren't nightmares, exactly, but they were definitely annoying.

She glanced next to her at Tia, who was sleeping peacefully with the ghost of a smile on her face. Chica wished she could stay positive like her sister, but it was kind of hard to when voices were screaming in her head 24/7.

Good morning, Chica.

Right on time.

Chica scowled. Well, not really. The animatronics' faces had been built to express limited facial expressions, mostly ones of happiness, so it looked more like a grin than anything else. That made her even more annoyed.

"Great," she whispered, careful not to wake anyone. "You're back. Care to explain what happened last night with Blue and Grey?"

The answer to this question was no different than every other response she was met with. The giggle of the magenta ghost reverberated through her metal skull, but there was a waver of uncertainty in its voice.

"Well?" Chica asked quietly. "I'm waiting."

"Who are you talking to?"

Chica sat up and whirled around. Mari was sitting up in her sleeping bag. The music box next to her pillow had slowed to a stop, the music fading with it. The puppet animatronic rubbed her eyes sleepily.

Chica plastered on a grin, which wasn't hard considering that her face already looked like it was smiling from her attempt at scowling. "Oh, no one. My brain's still in Sleep Mode. I probably thought I was still dreaming or something."

Wow, said the sarcastic voice of the orange ghost. Great cover.

Chica tried to ignore the voices of the ghosts that were gradually arriving one by one as Mari nodded. She still looked dead tired, and Chica was pretty sure that the puppet hadn't even heard her excuse.

"So, how's that working for you?" Chica asked, nodding to the music box.

Mari looked down at the small box and smiled fondly. "It's great. I haven't had a single nightmare for the past two nights."

"That's good," Chica said, only half listening. It was kind of hard to pay attention to other people when there were voices raging inside her head.

"Well, I'm gonna go get dressed," Mari said, gathering up her tuxedo from beside her sleeping bag. "I think we have a birthday booked for ten a.m., so we've only got about an hour to get ready. We should probably wake up the others so they can get dressed, too."

Chica nodded. She picked up her dress and shoes that she'd set beside her sleeping bag and tried her best to tune out the voices. "Probably." She looked over at Bonnie and Teddy, who were both asleep on the counters. Teddy's headband was hanging from one ear and Bonnie had fallen asleep with his face in a pizza box. "It takes those two at least twenty minutes to drag themselves out of bed, and it takes them another forty minutes to do their hair."

Mari shrugged. "Yeah. I don't know why though. I mean, who are they trying to impress here? A bunch of five to ten year old kids?"

Chica snorted. "Well, I sure hope not," she said as she gently shook Tia's shoulder.

Tia's eyes fluttered open and she yawned sleepily. "Good morning," she said, a smile already stretching across her face.

"We have a birthday party at ten," Chica said, standing up. "We need to get ready."

Suddenly, the kitchen doors swung open and slammed against the walls. A loud bang resonated through the room, jarring everyone awake. Teddy yelped and fell off the counter, while Bonnie sat bolt upright and accidentally banged his head on the cupboard above his head.

Zoe and her weird friend Raina ran into the room. Zoe looked oddly excited, and Raina was smiling. Zoe had a bunch of empty backpacks in her hands.

"That hurt..." Bonnie whined, rubbing the back of his head.

"No it didn't!" Zoe yelled excitedly. "Is everyone awake?" She looked around the room.

"Well, it's kind of hard to stay asleep when you're yelling," Tonnie said, rubbing his eyes.

BB sat up in his sleeping bag. "What's going on?" he asked.

"Raina found a place for you to stay, that's what's going on!" Zoe yelled.

"Well, actually, Scott showed it to me when were walking to Subway for lunch a week ago," Raina corrected. "It was pretty cheap, but we didn't really have enough money for it, so Zoe and I pooled together some of our saved money, but we still didn't have enough and we couldn't spare any more, so Jeremy, Fritz, and Mike pitched in, and even though they didn't have much to spare, Scott and Vincent added some, too, and so we bought it, and now you guys have a place to stay!" She'd gotten progressively more excited as she spoke, and now she was practically squealing.

"Come on!" Zoe shouted. "Pack up your shit and let's go!" She tossed the bags into the air, and they fell to the floor in a scattered heap.

"What about Foxy?" Mangle asked, picking up a backpack. "Is he repaired yet?"

"What's wrong with him anyway?" Freddy asked as he stuffed his work uniform and his casual clothes into a bag.

Zoe's smile wavered. "He's not doing so well. I've tried everything I could think of. I think something's wrong with his programming or something, because it's definitely not his sensors. I've checked his mechanics, but nothing's wrong with those. Fritz is checking his software right now, but I don't know if he'll be able to find anything." She shrugged. "I'm sure he'll be fine, though. Anyway, let's get you guys out of here!"
