more than a program (fnaf security breach chica x roxy fanfic)

4) the glitch!

ROXY
______

I make my way to Roxy's Raceway- my favorite part of the Pizza Plex, for obvious reasons. It's made specifically for me. And the best part is that everyone loves it here. Way more than Monty's stupid mini golf. And it even beats Fazerblast in popularity.

As I'm walking around, I sense someone else. My guard immediately goes up. A stupid little kid, here, in my Raceway... if I find that kid, I will tear him limb from limb.

And then the lights go out.

That little twerp.

"Little kid!!! Give up. You can't hide forever..." I call out. I already know that this will be a long night.

I stalk quietly along the wall, searching for any movement. With my sight upgrade, I can see so much more than the others... but not even my eyes can see anything out of the norm.

And then, someone moves behind me. Before I can react, I'm pinned to the wall. There's no way a kid is that strong.

Even in the dark, I can see her eyes crystal clear. It's Chica.

"What's your problem, huh?" Chica says. She's all hurt and embarrassed. "First you insult me, then you act like you care about me..."

She's not as tall as me, but with her leaning so close I find it hard to deny it any longer. I'm attracted to her... every square inch. She's beautiful, and I don't need special eyes to see it.

Chica leans in close. "Stop screwing around with my feelings! You know how I feel about you..."

"I... I don't know what you're talking about." I say.

"Come on. You were calling me annoying and then you came to my rescue at the performance? I thought we were... I thought that you- God, you are so..."

"So what? Frustrating?" I finish for her, then flip her against the wall, pinning her. "Attractive?"

"I didn't say that!" Chica says, avoiding my eyes.

"But you were thinking it." I say with a smug satisfaction.

"Shut up..." Chica says. "Okay, yes, you're beautiful. But that's not enough for you, is it, baby? You're insecure that you're not as popular with the kids as me."

Now I'm defensive. That was uncalled for. "Listen here, you-"

"No!" Chica says. She pushes me away. "I'm done listening to you. You're just mean and selfish. For your information, I'm not hiding from anything. But you are. You're hiding from yourself. All you do is worry about being better than everyone and you don't care about anyone else!"

"And you eat trash for fun, babes. We've all got our vices." I shoot back.

"I- I-" Chica's stunned.

"That's right. I know. That's why you have that cutesy attitude. It's covering up a sadness deep inside your endoskeleton. I'm right, aren't I?"

Chica opens her beak to say something, but just then, a STAFF bot makes an alert sound. We look at each other.

Chica glares at me. "This isn't over."

"Good!" I growl. And then we go after the alarm.

"Come out, come out wherever you aaare!" I sing. The STAFF bot is too dumb to point me in the right direction, so... now I have to play hide and seek with the stray kid.

Inside, I'm still reeling from what Roxy said.

I check to make sure no one is looking, then open my chest compartment to dump out all the trash I had eaten. The cans, paper plates, moldy pizza, et cetera are all covered in oil and bite marks.

I look down at the trash and I feel... disgusted. And a little bit relieved.

I was designed to be the only "feedable" animatronic. I've always been the pizza lover, so... the mechanics decided to capitalize on that. They programmed me to clean up any trash leftover after people left, but... I don't care about doing that anymore.

Along the line, I developed a sort of addiction. But I should be clear... I can't taste. I've got a sensor in my mouth that identifies any foreign objects and notifies me what I've eaten. And that sensor's input sets off different parts of my central processing unit, which... in basic terms, stimulates me as if I was a real human eating real food.

I can choose to see a long list of things I've eaten over any time period, but... I've stopped doing that. Once, while checking the record, I saw an anomaly.

It was labeled as an unidentified object. But I knew what it was. It was... flesh.

And that's when I decided not to look at those records anymore.

The craziest part is, I don't remember how human flesh got into my chest cavity. And it scares me that I don't remember.

But, as long as I can't see the records, I can pretend that everything is okay.

Another STAFF bot is alerted. I swivel my head towards the noise, and I see him. The little boy. My first instinct is to ask him if he's okay.

But that's when my mind went... glitchy. My mind sort of lost control of my body. I charged. Some part of me knew I was chasing after the poor boy, probably scaring him shitless. I knew I was going to hurt him. I wanted to hurt him... to devour him.

No. I can't hurt a kid. I can't. I won't.

But I can't stop myself, I'm chasing him and I'm quickly gaining on him. What's happening to me?? Why can't I stop??? and... has this happened before?

"Chica, what are-"

I falter when I hear Roxy's voice. I turn to look at her. She looks after where I was chasing, but the little kid has disapppeared. So too does the glitch... both are gone.

"Roxy..." I say shakily.

"Are you okay? Were you chasing the kid?" Roxy asks, concerned.

"Roxy, I- I think something's wrong," I said, starting to cry. I hug her tightly, catching her off guard.

"Chica- I... what happened?"

"I feel... I feel like my code is messing up. And this isn't the first time my program has screwed up... I have the feeling I've done this before, but can't remember..." I shudder. "Roxy, I'm scared. I don't want to hurt the little kid."

Roxy gently pulls away. "Let's go somewhere more private... we can see if we can figure out what's going on. The Chica I know wouldn't hurt a fly."

I nod my head and try to calm down, and Roxy leads me away.
