Stuck in the PizzaPlex

An Old Friend

"Y-Yeah, don't worry." Gregory sighs, shaking his head and stare at the semi-finished animatronic before him. "I got most of your parts here, Bon, but I seem to not be able to find your eyes."

Caytor blinked slowly before seizing up when a broom had fallen and clattered on the floor, making the three inside turn to see the boy staring by the entrance.

"A-Ah. Caytor, hey. W-What are you doing here? Is Freddy here with ya?" Gregory asks, walking over to the door and kneeling down in front of him.

"N-No, Freddy and the others went to just wait at the doors. We spent more than maybe an hour in the arcade, and it's almost about 6 A.M." Caytor turns to the animatronic that the security guard was trying to fix. "W-Who are you?" Caytor asks, walking over.

"Ah, well... I'm Bonnie." he introduces himself. Caytor stares as Gregory went back over to help with another dismantled part.

"But I thought that you were missing." Caytor whispers.

"And I thought so too." Chica smiles down at the kid. "But back a few ago, when I was in some trash shoot again because of reasons I won't explain and that I accidentally slipped in," Chica looks back at her old friend. "I found Bonnie down there as well. Gregory came to see, and we both managed to get him out of there. We couldn't keep Bonnie in Parts and Service, so we decided to stash him here in his area. And ever so slowly, we've been repairing him. But we want to keep it a secret from Freddy." Chica explains to him.

"Love the guy, really, but it's been a few years since I last saw him." Bonnie says as Gregory patted the animatronic's shoulder once he got it reattached.

"And now the eyes." Gregory sighs heavily. "It's getting close to 6, I-I don't think I'll be able to find your eyes or get extras from the Parts and Service in time-"

"Wait!"

Gregory and Chica turn to Caytor who stiffens when they turn their attention to the boy.

"U-Um. Back at the lobby, when I was waiting for you, Mister Gregory." Caytor pulls over his backpack and carefully pushes the two plushies back and holds the two parts. "I-I found these animatronic eyes wedged between the wall and some planters."

Gregory immediately takes a look, inspecting it before smiling brightly at the kid. "T-These is it! These are Bonnie's eyes! A bit dusty, but we can put them in the cleaning receptacle here and reattach them." Gregory says and sees the child's eyes sparkle. He smiles at him. "Do you want to do it?" he asks.

"Can I?" he whispers and Gregory nods his head.

Guiding the boy over to the machine, he picks him up to carefully place them in the receptacle to get them cleaned. And once done, Gregory followed old instructions on a manual he had found and got the faceplates to open.

Caytor takes a careful look at the eyes he has, finding which one was right and left. And reading the manual and back, about three times, he finally starts and attaches back the animatronic's eyes.

"And done." Gregory sighs, the faceplate returning.

"How do you feel, Bon?" Chica asks, Caytor watching as the large rabbit animatronic stands up if a bit staggered. But after several moments, there were movements in his eyes.

"Ah, there are the faces of these voices." Bonnie says and Chica smiles and hugs the animatronic. Gregory places a hand on Bonnie's shoulder and Caytor hugs the animatronic with giggles of his own.

"Freddy! Freddy!" Caytor runs over to the lobby, meeting the animatronics there.

"What is the matter, Caytor?" Freddy asks, Roxanne and Monty trying to keep themselves seated and not launching themselves at the yelling outside.

"We have a surprise for you." Caytor says, smiling up at the animatronic.

"What do you mean?" Freddy asks.

"Fred! Look!" Freddy looks up at Chica's voice, and he stares to see an old friend.

"Oh my gosh." Roxanne murmurs, staring and Monty had to take off his star-shaped glasses to stare as the slightly rusted animatronic stood there.

"Took us about a month after years since finding him." Gregory says.

"Finding those parts were hard, even the smaller ones. But Caytor here seemed to pull through, huh kid?" Caytor giggles as the security guard ruffles his hair, and he looks at the animatronics staring there.

"Alright, c'mere." Bonnie says, pulling Chica along and Freddy runs over to hug the two of them. Roxanne smiles before glancing at Monty and nudges his shoulder and gestures her head over as Caytor walks over and holds her hand.

Bonnie looks up at Monty after they pull back, and the gator animatronic simply looks at him with something in his gaze. But Bonnie just smiles before and places a hand on his shoulder pad.

"You'll do great on stage, Monty." he says.

Monty stares before nodding his head and hugging him.

"Welcome back, you old rabbit." Bonnie snorts and shakes his head.

"Well, what are we going to do now with you back?" Chica asks.

"I think I'd rather handle the diner and bowling aisles. Besides, I could tell that Monty has been doing a great job as a filler. But I've already been scheduled to step down from the band and simply entertain and take care of old fans of the franchise back at my diner in the bowl." Bonnie explains.

"Mind if we come by to catch up after performances?" Freddy asks.

"Of course you can!" Bonnie then turns to Roxanne and Monty.

"And maybe I can tell you two old stories." Roxanne grins at that, nodding her head.

But then they all heard Caytor's sharp intake of breath.
