Chapter 59

Normal

Author's Notes

Had a few questions about the update schedule. At the moment the story will be updated every Sunday. If there is a change I will put it on my profile.

Also, the Ask series will be updated soon. I didn't have time this week to get the questions together so if you do have an interesting question you want to ask the characters put it in a review on this story or in a review for the Asks.

That's all, enjoy Ruby's antics in this chapter!

"Is she incapable of staying serious for an extended period of time?" Teddy asked while standing (hiding) next to the Originals to avoid Ruby's latest invention.

"She can be serious…" Bonnie defended the night guard. "She…just chooses not to be."

"Uh huh…" Teddy sounded pretty disbelieving.

"Why are you standing here anyway?" Foxy asked with mild suspicion, glancing between Teddy and Mangle.

The other fox rolled her eyes and gave a sarcastic crackle. He wasn't sure how she made a crackle sound sarcastic in all honesty.

"We're not going out there." Teddy shook his head vehemently as Toby's screams of rage filled the pizzeria again.

"I wonder if the cleaning staff did something to irritate her?" Goldy mused out loud.

"Oh they did." Freddy sighed. "Last time she was here for the day shift, she got into an argument with a new guy about how she does her job. He said she wasn't allowed to make a mess anymore."
They all flinched as they imagined her reaction to someone trying to tell her what to do like that.

"She didn't retaliate immediately?" Chica asked in disbelief.

"Oh she did." Freddy grimaced. "She jammed a toilet seat over his head. I don't know where she got it from and I don't want to know."

Foxy and Bonnie snickered at the image that conjured up in their heads.

"Well, it does explain why she planned a… 'messy night'." Goldy admitted.

An explosion rocked the building and the group could see Hedy gritting her teeth in irritation.

"Do you think Ruby's going to get along with Hedy better now?" Goldy wondered softly.

Bonnie immediately looked away from the mechanic. They were going to have to deal with his phobia at some point.

"Why?" Teddy frowned in confusion.

"She comforted Hedy. She doesn't do that for people she doesn't like." Chica explained.

They were interrupted by another explosion.

"We'll just have to wait and see what happens." Freddy shrugged, the other Originals nodding in agreement.

Teddy exchanged a glance with Mangle. It didn't really look like Ruby liked Hedy from their perspective. Although they hadn't known the night guard as long as the Originals had. Maybe there was something they were missing.

'I missed this.' Ruby pondered as she raced down the corridor seconds in front of a couple of murderous animatronics. 'Hmmm, better not say that aloud to anyone. Note to self, visit laser tag place soon to get some of this thrill seeking out of my system before Springtrap arrives and I give the bots a heart attack.'

She grinned to herself as she darted into the arts and crafts room, neatly skipping over the tripwire by the door.

Toby of course didn't know about the wire and hit it, sending lovely colours exploding everywhere.

"I'd say the jelly bombs were a success, wouldn't you Baby Blue?" Ruby smirked as Chi barreled into the dazed rabbit at full speed.

Both bots went down hard on the multi-coloured jelly covered floor.

The night guard skipped past them back into the corridor with a happy wave. She had a few rooms left to decorate still. This should teach that jerk, trying to tell her what she could and couldn't do. She'd been holding back on her mess making for a while.

"I've been too nice to the staff. They're getting spoiled." She mused as she strolled down the hall, leaving jelly footprints behind her. "Better remind them what a REAL mess looks like."

Her grin was downright evil as she checked over her latest weapon. It had taken a while before she managed to make the chocolate gun strong enough to stagger an animatronic.

Time to test it out.

"Oh Clown!" she called as she headed to the prize room. "Do I have a surprise for you!"

Mangle looked pretty happy when they heard Puppet start screeching. Hedy just looked resigned.

"Since when have you become vindictive?" Foxy asked, amused by Mangle's expression.

"Since Puppet got her pulled apart last." Teddy deadpanned. "I think Puppet prefers the night guard by now to spending time alone with Mags."

They all glanced at a smug looking Mangle.

"I really shouldn't have let Mags spend so much time with Ruby…" Hedy muttered to herself.

"She's a terrible influence." Foxy grinned.

"Awful." Bonnie nodded.

"It's fantastic." Goldy laughed with them.

Freddy shook his head but he was smiling. They wouldn't trade her influence for anything in the world after all.

At that moment, said terrible influence came charging into the room laughing maniacally like a cartoon villain. Behind her was… probably Puppet. It was hard to tell under the chocolate that covered him head to toe.

"Are those sprinkles?" Chica asked as the two ran in circles around the room for a bit.

"I think so." Goldy nodded.

"Dark chocolate or regular chocolate?" Bonnie wondered.

"Regular chocolate." Foxy told him. "She's got a fondness for dark chocolate and wouldn't waste it on someone like him."

They all nodded like that made perfect sense.

"You're all mad." Teddy finally declared.

"Proabably." Chica admitted.

By then Ruby had trapped Puppet in a caramel trap, sticking him to the wall. It had the side effect of covering most of that wall in the sticky substance. Coincidentally of course.

"NIGHT GUARD!" Toby darted for her as he reached the room, slipping and sliding over the floor thanks to the jelly still covering him.

Ruby absently hit him with another jelly bomb, sending him to the floor and splattering most of the room's occupants in the stuff.

"And sprinkles for you." She dropped a handful on his face. "Sprinkles for everyone!"

She threw a new bomb into the air that sent sprinkles flying to every corner of the room.

Everyone groaned.

"I hate cleaning up." Bonnie grimaced at the jelly on his chest.

"At least it's not chocolate." Foxy pointed out with a sigh as he brushed most of the sprinkles off his head.

"I can't decide if Ruby or Puppet is worse off." Goldy admitted quietly.

They glanced at the night guard who was doing a victory dance and waving around a menacing looking modified water gun. She was covered in chocolate and jelly alike and looked like she'd jumped into a bath of sprinkles. One lock of hair was sticking up from her head thanks to caramel and they couldn't actually tell what colour her clothes were before this all started.

"Puppet's worse off." Chica sighed. "Ruby just doesn't care."
"True." Bonnie and Foxy agreed simultaneously.

"The staff will rue the day they tried to control me!" Ruby yelled, doing a victory pose.

"She's definitely been tasting the chocolate." Freddy muttered.

"Oh definitely." Foxy nodded.

"Where's Chi?" Teddy asked cautiously.

"I don't think we really want to know." Bonnie whispered.

They watched the night guard for a moment longer before the bear had to agree.

Later the next day, ignoring the glaring and despair filled looks from the exhausted cleaning staff, Ruby sauntered through the building to the new construction area that was taped off. They were eager to start obviously. She sipped at her coffee while she watched the workers running back and forth. After a moment of making everyone uncomfortable with her 'I'm plotting how to murder you' look, she moved over to the building planner.

"Hey there person who looks like they're in charge of the building project." She greeted the mildly terrified man. She'd built up a bit of a reputation in the building industry after a certain… incident. Due to contractual obligations she wasn't allowed to speak about it though. "I've got a few security requirements for you to add to your plans."
She smiled sweetly at the poor man. They'd be prepared for Springtrap. She might act overconfident but she wasn't stupid. This wasn't a vengeful ghost kid or manipulated animatronic that was coming. This was a cold blooded murderer. Who was also permanently possessing a friend of Goldy's.

She couldn't allow that. She'd drag that spirit kicking and screaming out of that bot forcefully if she had to.
