Golden Jealousy (Foxy x Mangle) #3

Chapter 4

Foxy's POV:

At last Toy Bonnie gave up on the argument and stomped away. Toy Freddy gave a triumphant look in the bunny's direction before leaping off the stage and heading towards the kitchen with Toy Chica following. "I told you cupcakes are the best and we are going to bake them."

"With what?" Toy Freddy glanced at Toy Chica questioningly just as they rounded the corner and Foxy lost sight of them.

He turned to Mangle and Rain, "What would you like to do now?"

Rain perked her ears and asked eagerly, "Go outside?" Her thick tail wagged slightly and Foxy felt guilty.

"Sorry Rain, you know the rules." Foxy watched sadly as her tail stopped wagging and her ears drooped.

The wolf sighed, "Why don't we go see what Freddy, Bonnie and Chica are up to?" Her voice was quiet and Foxy was nearly knocked off his feet from the bitterness in her voice.

Foxy felt Mangle lean close to him and she whispered, "We can sneak out the window. It'll be a quick in and out; just to lift her spirits slightly."

"Fine." Foxy replied and then stepped closer to Rain, who had gotten up from her chair. "Change of plans, we are going outside. Just for a short while."

Rain brightened when Foxy mentioned 'outside' and she wrapped her arms around Foxy, "Oh thank you Foxy!!"

"No problem lass." Foxy surprised himself when he said that; it had been years since he used his pirate accent. It was used for shows and for chatting to the children who came to see him but once he was locked away in Parts/Service and neglected for so long, his accent faded away like stars did as the sun rose. Chica's droning on about pizza didn't help it either. She talked so much when they were locked up that her voice box glitched out.

Rain let go of Foxy and jogged out of the room, "Parts and Service?"

"Yup." Foxy nodded and ran after Rain as the young girl sprinted excitedly to the room. Mangle followed more slowly.

They reached the Parts/Service in a matter of seconds and the window was quickly open and Rain changed into her human form and climbed out. Mangle followed Rain.

Foxy changed too and was about to climb out when he saw Golden Freddy scowling at him from the doorway, "What did I say about going out?"

"It's just gonna be a quick run around. Calm your golden butt." Foxy retorted and prepared to climb out but Goldie stopped him by placing a firm hand on his shoulder.

"Don't insult me. The only reason I'm not killing you three is because I saw how desperate Rain was for fresh air." A flash of sympathy passed through the golden bear's features and his face softened but he quickly frowned and stiffened again, "I'm timing you, 30 minutes tops. Go." He shoved Foxy out the window and the fox fell onto the gravel on the other side with an 'oof.'

Foxy got up and brushed off his clothes and examined his stinging knee to see he had grazed it. Little droplets of blood seeped from the graze and Foxy growled, "Thanks Goldie."

"It was my pleasure." Came a cocky reply from inside and Foxy watched as the shadow disappeared, which signalled Goldie had left.

Foxy turned away from the window to see Mangle was already playing a game with Rain. Mangle's white and pink dress swayed as she chased after Rain.

Rain squealed in excitement as she ran behind a tree and Mangle followed her. There was a yell from Mangle, "Got you!"

Foxy jogged over to the two girls and called, "What are you playing?"

"Tag!!" Rain replied with a grin and ran towards Foxy, "And I'm It!!"

Foxy felt a smile play on his lips as he dodged Rain when she reached out to tag him. It was nice to be outside again. The stuffy and damp smells of the abandoned pizzaria were starting to get to him. It was also entertaining to be playing with Rain. Even though Foxy didn't really enjoy playing games, it was fun with Rain. Her beaming smile and shining eyes brought a smile to Foxy.

"Slow down Foxy! That's not fair!" Rain huffed and slowed to a stop, crouching down to catch her breath.

Foxy edged closer to Rain, "Then go catch Mangle, she's slower!"

"Hey!" Mangle crossed her arms and glared in Foxy's direction. Foxy just shrugged innocently and watched in amusement as Rain got to her feet again and sprinted towards Mangle with a playful battle cry.

Mangle tried to run but Rain caught up easily and the girl leapt onto Mangle back, "GOT YOU!!" Mangle tripped but stayed upright and grabbed onto Rain's legs to keep her from falling but Mangle tripped on a loose stone and fell. Foxy grinned as the two collapsed on the ground in a giggling heap.

"Not much longer, you two. Goldie is timing us." Foxy warned just as Rain and Mangle got up.
