It wasn’t easy to perform for the children again. Freddy and his friends, on their first day working again, stared dead into their eyes, unable to comprehend what was going happening. Their gears spun nearly off end, and their heads swam. It was even harder for Foxy, whom had many children asking him on the spot questions about being a pirate.

 

Normally, Foxy would just hid behind the curtains and stare at the other three perform a song or two when all the children around him wandered off.  Equaly as stressful, he felt a rush of jealousy. Even though they were his friends, Foxy still wanted to be the best. It made the day go even slower.

 

“Hey kids!” Freddy said happily, looking down at all the children. They stared back up at him, a rainbow of eyes all directected straight to him. Everyday, he felt even worse about the children. Sure, it was his job to love them, but how was he supposed to love something that he never got to enjoy being himself? It wasn’t easy.

 

“Hello there kidos!” Bonnie said next to him, strumming a tune on his guitar. “Do you kids know what today is?” Bonnie continued, looking dead at the children with a smile of pure glee. “Today is the week anniversary of the grand reopening! That’s right, a full week of us! I can’t believe it either!”

 

Chica seemed apprehensive. “Hey Freddy! Got anyway to reward these kids for staying with us for so long?”

 

“Why yes! I do! Hey kids, Ready for a new song? Just for you guys!” Freddy said, the happy shouts from the children answering him “Alright then! These kids are ready for the band! Let’s get started! One! Two! GO!”

 

Foxy scowled. This wasn’t like him, he normally never got jealous. Especially not over his brother, Freddy; However, no matter what he did, Freddy always seemed to attract more attention to himself. “It just not be fair…”

 

Foxy sat at the end of his cove, his pawed feet dangling over the edge. Reaching into his exoskeleton, he found one of the books he was normally reading. Flipping back to the page he last left off on, he continued reading, blocking out the world and all it’s disappointments. Without meaning to, he started to hum, gently flipping another page of the book as he did so.

 

“Duh duh dum dum. Duh duh dum d-d-dum”

 

“Foxy?” Someone said, nearly making him drop his book.

 

“ArRg… er… hello there matey! How ye be doing?” Foxy said, quickly hiding the book behind his back. “Please don’t ask about it!”

 

“What were you doing here all by yourself?” The child asked. Foxy noticed that it was a boy, with a green shirt and blue jeans on. He also had dark green eyes and dirty blonde hair. “Are you lonely?”

 

“Um..” Foxy stared at the kid. “I don’t have a recorded message for this…” he thought, panicking slightly. “Um… no! Not at all kido! I just… um… be reading me book! Yup! Reading be a good way to forget about the problems with the world and relax it be!”
