Chapter 6
Chica Talks About Baking
"Breakfast is served!"
Chica grinned widely as she placed five steaming dishes of warm buttery pancakes on the table. She was proud of them, for it was her first time making them. Freddy grinned as he smelled the warm scent of delicious Chica-made pancakes.
"Woah, Chica, these look really good!" Freddy exclaimed, grabbing a fork and knife and a bottle of sticky, sweet maple syrup.
Bonnie laughed dryly.
"Any Remnant to wash it down?" He asked the four other animatronics sarcastically. Mangle shot him a look as she sat down at the long rectangle party table.
"Well, no. But that is an issue. If we're going to be friends with Ruby, well. Friends don't normally kill friends, at least I don't think so. So we're going to have to get Remnant some other way, or, well, we'll all die." Mangle said half-heartedly.
Chica nodded, and was about to say something, when just then, Foxy skidded in.
"Yo Ho Ho, I be smelling something that's not tuna guts!" Foxy yelled, throwing his hands in the air. Chica rolled her eyes, but she couldn't say anything, for her mouth was full of her delicious pancakes. Foxy's yellow eye opened wide.
"That good, eh? Well, I best try some then!" He plopped himself down at the table and grabbed three pancakes for himself, taking a generous helping of both butter and syrup. Chica eventually had to pull the syrup away after his pancakes were completely drenched in it.
"Hey, have some pancakes with that syrup, bro." Chica chided.
Foxy groaned.
"But I looove syrup!" He said. Mangle rolled her bright yellow eye and took another giant forkful of buttery, syrupy, warm homemade pancake.
"Yes. We all do, darling. Now shut up and EAT!" She yelled forcefully, kind of weird for five people eating pancakes, but whatever, Chica wasn't going to judge.
They are in silence for a while, until Foxy leaned back in his chair and groaned.
"Aye, methinks I be stuffed." Foxy muttered. Freddy nodded and smiled.
"Yeah, me too. That was really good, Chica." Freddy praised her. Chica grinned and tried to look modest but in reality she was beaming with pride.
Bonnie, who'd eaten by far the most of Chica's pancakes out of all of them, groaned loudly and fell off his chair. He rolled around on the probably-not-sanitized tile floor. Bonnie barely managed to croak out a,
"Make...more...pancaaaakes…" He groaned, reaching out with his shaking left arm, then flopped on the ground dramatically and lay still.
Freddy laughed and walked over to where Bonnie was. He hauled Bonnie off the ground, dragging him over to a nearby chair where he plopped Bonnie down and left him.
"No. No more pancakes for you." He instructed. Bonnie looked up at Freddy with wide pleading eyes.
"But they're so gooooood!" He moaned, glancing at Chica. Chica giggled.
"Well, thank you for the praise I suppose!" She twirled around happily, letting her floofy yellow-and-white lace skirt twirl with her. Mangle laughed, but then glanced at Freddy who, much to Bonnie's disappointment, was abandoning him on the chair to join the others at their party table.
"Sooo, what are we going to do about the Remnant Situation?" Mangle asked, putting emphasis on the last two words. Freddy's face looked serious, something that Chica didn't like. Chica preferred it when everyone was having fun, when they were all being silly and dumb, and laughing and talking and eating together. Not serious talks like these were.
"Well, maybe once in a while, Ruby could take a break from being a night guard and we could have someone else take her shift. Or we could always go scrapping in the back alleys, I'm pretty sure there's still some there."
Freddy suggested. The group nodded. Well, everyone except for Bonnie, who was still on the chair yelling,
"HELLO?! RABBIT HERE WHO CANNOT HEAR WHAT ANY OF YOU ARE SAYIIIING!"
Mangle rolled her eyes.
"Shut up, I'm coming." She muttered, walking over to where Bonnie lay.
"Can't you walk on your own, dear?" Mangle asked him, putting her hands on her hips. Bonnie rolled his green eyes and batted his long eyelashes.
"Why no, no I can't" He teased. Mangle groaned and yanked him up by his hands, dragging him over to the table where the rest of the group was seated. Chica giggled at how funny Bonnie looked with Mangle dragging him. Mangle dropped him on the ground and put her hands on her hips.
"That good enough for you, Princess Bonnerella?" Mangle fumed. Bonnie smiled up at the table cheekily.
"I suppose. And can you peel a grape for me- hey, where are you going?" Bonnie asked in a posh accent. Mangle had seated herself back at the table where everyone was laughing. Bonnie crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air.
"Well, I hardly think it's funny." Bonnie said, but he was laughing too. Freddy grinned, but his face quickly turned back to Serious Freddy's face.
"Tomorrow, we're going to have to get Remnant, one way or another. This whole Ruby situation is going to be kind of weird for all of us. Heck, it's still kind of weird for all of us. But we'll get through it. We always do."
Everyone except Bonnie smiled. Bonnie just rolled his bright green eyes.
"Freddyyyyy, I didn't know you were so sappyyyy." Bonnie whined. Chica, Foxy, Mangle, and Freddy shared a glance and nodded. Together, Foxy dumped Bonnie out of his chair, Chica and Mangle dragged him across the room to a wall, and at Freddy's signal, the two girls dumped Bonnie onto the ground. Freddy winked at Bonnie, who glared daggers at all of them.
"I will very literally murder you all." He growled at them through gritted teeth.
"Aaaand that's my cue to leave. Goooodbye, mateys." Foxy called as he strolled back to the kitchen, probably to watch anime on his phone or something.
Chica and Mangle shared a glance and then left.
The two girls headed for the Parts and Service room, Mangle's main humble abode and fox den. Chica plopped herself down on a ratty old sofa, with long slashes leaking stuffing like blood from a wound on the couch. Chica traced the ripped seams with her finger absentmindedly. Mangle was fiddling with a screw, she liked to tinker with mechanical parts. She noticed Chica looking at the slashes and blushed.
"Terribly sorry about those, dear. I, uh, may have some anger issues." Mangle laughed, but it sounded, and was, forced. Chica smiled weakly, and put her arm around her friend. Mangle did the same gratefully.
"I think we all do. Everyone does, really, especially in this household. It's just how we cope with them that really matters, I think."
Chica said slowly. Mangle turned to Chica and gave her a surprised look.
"Since when did you get so philosophical this early in the morning? And with so little caffeine!" Mangle laughed. Chica snorted and threw a ripped pillow at Mangle, who just barked another laugh again and ducked down quickly, bushing up her fur. She crouched down and pounced on Chica, who fell back from the tackle. Chica laughed and whacked Mangle on the head repeatedly with another fluffy pillow. Mangle screeched.
"Okay, okay! I surrender!"
The two girls lay on the ground, red-faced and exhausted. Chica laughed, giddy and flustered.
"That was exciting!" She giggled. Mangle nodded breezily, staring off into space. Chica sat up and nudged her.
"Heyyy, c'mon! Wasn't that fun?" Chica tried to coax some words out of her. Mangle turned to Chica and noticed her worried expression. She scoffed.
"Yes darling, I'm fiiiine." She reassured her friend. Chica smiled. She was about to say something when she heard something...or probably someone yelling, something about saving the Flowering Kingdom? Chica could hear Foxy yelling,
"ARI NO DON'T DO IT HE'S EVILLL"
She glanced at Mangle, wondering if she'd know why Foxy was going on about. Mangle just shrugged.
Suddenly, there was a high-pitched jingling sound from the front door. Both Mangle and Chica sat up immediately. They looked at each other, both wondering the same thing.
Who is that?
Throwing anything that they held in their hands down, (two pillows, three bolts, and an old pop can) they rushed to the door. The other animatronics were already there, shooting scared glances at the door. Freddy shot an accusing Look at Foxy, the kind with a capital 'L'.
"I thought I told you to lock that door!" Freddy yelled at the pirate fox. Foxy glared at him.
"I did, ya scurvy scallywag! I put a lock on that door, so no landlubber should be able teh get-"
There was a grunting sound and something pushed on the door so hard that...the door broke down.
"-in."
The person who'd done it coughed into their elbow from the dust and smithereens of what was left of the door.
The five animatronics just stared in shock as the dust settled down onto the ground peacefully and the person who'd done it was revealed as…
"Ruby?!" Freddy asked in disbelief. Ruby coughed again and have a weak smile, fanning the dirty air in front of her. Her eyes and nose were streaming, allergies probably. But...were those scratches and scars on her face and arms? Was her plaid jacket ripped and torn in more places than one?
They were!
"Oh, my God. Ruby, are you okay?!" Chica yelled, concerned. She ran over and gave Ruby a big hug. She smelled like lavenders and sawdust, which was actually a good smell when put together. Sort of like pine trees and flowers and the forest. Good earthy smells like that.
Ruby smiled awkwardly and hugged her back, patting Chica's back in reassurance.
"I'm fine, Chi-Chi. But I need to talk to everyone about something." Ruby told her. There was something about the look in her eyes and the tone in her voice that worried Chica, so she stopped hugging her and backed up to join the others, who were looking worriedly at Ruby. Well, maybe except for Bonnie, who was looking disdainfully at the remains of the door.
"You're going to pay for that," Bonnie muttered, kicking a piece of wood away. It bounced away and clattered to a halt beside a rectangular party table. Ruby winced at the wreckage, a guilty look on her face.
"I'm really sorry for this, but I, um, don't actually have any money to spare for this…" Ruby said, trailing off. Chica and Freddy both shared a glance. But Bonnie grinned, rather evilly, and put two fingers to his chin. He stroked it dramatically, like he was cast in some sort of old-timey movie and he had a long, fluffy beard he needed to stroke.
"Well, what if Ruby helps us fix it?" Bonnie asked. Everyone shared a glance.
"I'd be fine with it." (Freddy)
"More help is always appreciated." (Mangle)
"Of course I'd like it, it was my idea." (Bonnie)
"Yesss, I totally love it!" (Chica)
"Arg, hope yer good at hammering boards, lassie." (Foxy, duh)
Ruby sighed, but she nodded.
"Alright. Now can I please tell you what I need to tell you?!" Ruby asked, experated. Everyone straightened and made apologies. Chica personally was dying to know what Ruby had to say. Ruby sighed, and held out her and s with the scratches.
"Yesterday, I was walking downtown to go to Missy's Bakery and get a cinnamon roll."
Foxy started drooling.
"D'ya still... y'know, have the cinnamon roll?" He asked.
Ruby rolled her eyes. "No. Are you going to let me tell the story, or no?"
There were hurried responses of, "Yes, please, sorry."
Ruby continued.
"I decided to take a shortcut down an alleyway. I know that sounds stupid, but I've taken it before I bunch of times and nothing bad's ever happened to me. So I went down and there was this guy. I tried to go past him but he blocked my way. I told him to get out of my way, trying to be polite about it, and he was all like 'cOmE iNtO mY vAn giRliE' and I knew that he was trying to kidnap me or something so I kicked him hard and then he got really mad so then he slapped me and threw me against a wall and he held me there by the neck and his breath smelled really bad and I thought I was going to die or at least pass out from air loss or he was going to break my neck." Ruby told them.
Everyone was gaping, open-mouthed at her.
"And then what happened?" Mangle asked, still shocked.
Ruby laughed shortly, gave her a weak smile and continued on with her story.
"Well this is the really weird part. Something rose up behind him, and it kept going. It was made of metal parts and wires, and it seemed like a robot, but a really weird robot. It grabbed him and slammed him repeatedly against a wall a bunch of times, then it dropped him on the ground from way high up. And then I...um...well...I kind of just watched as the thing tore his throat out." Ruby told them all guiltily. She held her hands up.
"Wait, there's more. After the guy was good and dead, the thing sort of staggered off and...died or something. I noticed something inside of it and I opened its chest cavity and grabbed it. It was all smooth and glowing blue and warm."
By this point, all five animatronics had turned pale. Even Mangle, who was already white, had turned a sickly shade of light gray. Freddy was shaking a little.
"A-and then what happened?" He asked Ruby, carefully but nervously. Ruby gave him an odd look, most likely due to his unusual behavior.
"Well, then it squiggled out of my hand and another one rose from the dead guy and the two blobby things rose into the sky. Then I went to Missy's Bakery and ordered a large cinnamon roll with ooey gooey cream cheese icing and a hot spicy steaming hot chocolate with whipped cream and marsh-"
Foxy looked like he was about to melt into a puddle, so Chica cut Ruby off.
"Waitaminute. So, you ran into some weird guy, met a scrapped animatronic, held some Remnant...jeez, you'd be better at being an animatronic than us!" Chica joked.
But on the inside, she was nervous. More than nervous, terrified for her friend. The scrapped animatronics could be deadly if she met the wrong ones. She'd been extremely lucky if she'd found one that not only didn't kill her, but actually saved her life?! That was almost too good to be true.
Ruby smiled awkwardly and turned towards the door...well, doorframe.
"Uh, I should go now. Sorry about the door, and about bothering you." Ruby apologized, tucking her red plaid jacket more tightly around her. Freddy shook his head.
"Don't be sorry. You'll always be welcome here," he said to her comfortingly. Ruby gave him a grateful glance.
"Thanks. But I won't be here tonight, sorry!" Ruby apologized. Chica shrugged
"That's okay. Do you have a replacement for your night shift?" Chica asked her. Ruby nodded and smiled, and Chica gave her the thumbs up sign.
Ruby laughed and walked out the door...frame, her chunky black boot heels making a loud clacking noise on the hard gray concrete sidewalk. Everyone smiled at each other, the room peaceful and serene with a warm summer breeze blowing through the door. At least, until Bonnie turned around and commented;
"Never thought a human girl would be better at collecting Remnant than ol' Chi-Chi here!"
Chica found it fun to throw Bonnie against a wall again.
oops my door went SKRRT
