Long Overdue <Fnaf- Toy Chica x Jeremy>

Chapter Five~

Jeremy looked at Mangle closely, inspecting the thing of an animatronic.

Thats why TC dosn't have her beak... but, wait, didnt her encounter with Mangle happen AFTER she lost it? How'd it get there..?

"Somethin' wrong laddie?" Mangle asked, trying to break Jeremy's silence.
"Um... so, uh, tell me Mangle... um, what's that..?" Jeremy asked, pointing to the beak. He tried to be as polite as possible; he still heeded the phone guy's warning. Speaking of which, the phone guy's message didn't play yet. Before Jeremy could think on it however, Mangle awnsered his question.
"This? Oh, this is my brother's beak!" Mangle replied, showing no haste or worry in its voice.
"Brother..? Who?" Jeremy asked, confused by the statement. Just then, nested deep inside of the wires something moved. Then moved again, and then broke free.
It was a second head.
"AHH!" Jeremy screamed, startled by the bare exoskeleton head attached to Mangle.
"W-w-W-w-What?" The head began. It's voice was glitchy and distorted.
"I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be a parrot, since i'm a pirate, and he's supposed to sit on my sholder..." Mangle began, coming around to Jeremy's side of the desk. It opened one of the smaller drawers and rummaged through the papers until it found some sort if blueprint. "This is how i'm supposed to look..." Mangle continued, displaying the paper on the desk so Jeremy could see.
"I'm supposed to be like Foxy's first mate or whatever, but the kids tore me apart and Foxy was scrapped. Now i'm like some build-and-take apart attraction... it's stupid, isn't it..?" Mangle stared down at the blueprint for quite a while without saying anything...
...It was crying...

But how do animationics cry!? This dosn't make any sence!

Jeremy looked at Mangle, confused and heartbroken at the same time.
"That is stupid. You deserve better!" Jeremy declared, placing his hand on Mangle's sholder.
"Thanks, but nothing about me is gunna change..."
"E-e-Ey, she sai-ddd that wEll" The head croaked.

It called Mangle a 'she'. Therefore, Mangle is a girl... but what about the head..?

"Um, hey Mangle, does your, um, brother have a gender too?" Jeremy asked, trying to be casual. That wasn't the type of question to be casual about. You don't just go up to somebody and ask, 'HEY, DOES YOUR BROTHER HAVE A GENDER TOO!?"
"Well, i call him my brother, so ya, he's a dude. But i myself am female. If i was still in my intended form it'd be easy to tell, but i'm a mess... i can see why you got confused- Jeremy, was it?"
"Ya... Jeremy Fitzgerald... that's me." Jeremy replied. He sounded a bit depressed. "I guess we both have quirks- i mean, us three have quirks..." He continued, including Mangle's brother. Mangle laughed a little.
"Hey, come on, what happened to that confident guy from before? The one whos all like, IMA HUG TC!" She asked, impersonating Jeremy's voice the best she could. It was obviously intended as a joke, in Jeremy's mind. He didn't have a rough, aggressive voice like most 18 year olds. His voice was soft, soothing, and dainty.
"H-how did you know about that!?" Jeremy asked frantically, his face turing red with embarrassment.
"You seriously never notice me? I'm always hanging around, always watching! It's kind of what I do." Mangle replied, shrugging.
"Weird job for a pirate fox, don't ya think?" Jeremy asked, joking around. Mangle must've interpreted it as a joke since she began to laugh.

Mangle's pretty cool. I'm glad she's not some crazy broken animationic... yeesh, that would've been bad.

One other thing Jeremy thought about was the sudden change in the way Mangle spoke. Was she just playing around when she called him 'lad' and 'laddie'? Or when she said ey?

Maybe the two are interconnected in voice or something... maybe it was the head speaking before and Mangle speaking now...

"Dude, just watch..! Tomorrow night your gunna come in, and Jeremy x TC posters will be all you see! Oh man, that'd be halarious! We need to come up with a ship name for you two!" She began, continuing on the topic beforehand. Jeremy felt himself getting redder.
"I-i, what?" He asked, his voice shakey. He began remembering about middle school: How the kids would always tease others about their crushes.

I don't have a crush on TC... right..?
Why am i so embarrassed by this..?

"Jeremy and TC sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Mangle chanted.

These animationics are weird...
