Not Guilty // William Afton

"I'm sorry Willow, but I have no clue where William is. We were supposed to have our old Springbonnie suit star as a guest with the other animatronics tonight for a kids birthday. But William isn't here, and I think you're gonna have to fill in for him." Henry apologized.

Willow looked at him for a moment. "What? You want me to get into the suit? And perform?"

"Yes. But i'll show you how to carefully handle the spring locks. And you don't needa worry, i've had plenty of time in the suits myself." Henry assured.

Isn't Springbonnie the suit that William was in when her nightmare occurred? She wasn't so sure she had wanted to do that.

"The parents are paying extra just for Springbonnie to appear since they loved him so much at the old location, so you'll get some extra cash for your troubles." Henry assured.

And that set the deal. "Well alright. How long do we have til the show?" Willow asked.

"Approximately 2 hours." Henry looked at his watch.

Willow sighed. "Let's go."

2 hours later

"And remember what to do when you feel the springlocks activating." Henry pointed his finger at Willow.

"Yes Henry. Step off the stage before bleeding out and ruining the customers experience." Willow said in a monotone voice.

"Alright! You're all set!" Henry lightly smacked Springbonnies ear. Willow had been wearing the full suit.

It was hot inside of it, and not much air to breathe either. To top it all off, Willow was a bit claustrophobic.

"Can you see well? Through the eyes?" Henry asked.

"Yeah, yeah I see fine." her voice mumbled from inside the suit.

Henry put a thumbs up and began walking Willow backstage. The three others had already been on stage, like always, but the show had not started yet.

Kids had started gathering around their parents and taking their seats, waiting for the show to start. Willow had been a little nervous. She had never really performed anything before, much less in front of kids who would throw a fit if they didn't like it.

A few minutes had passed. Willow had still been behind the curtain and Henry had left to go where all the kids were to watch the show. The shows always excited Henry, no matter how old he was.

Freddy had been singing his song, while Bonnie played his guitar, and Chica did whatever she did. Willow don't know what she did, she's not all that terribly important to her.

"Hey kids!" a voice over the speaker boomed. "Some of you may know him, and some of you will get to know him. He's related to Bonnie.." Bonnie mechanically waved. "And he's yellow, just like Chica.." Chica also mechanically waved. "And he laughs just like Freddy!" Freddy mechanically waved. "Now introducing.. Springbonnie!" the voice happily introduced.

Springbonnie happily burst out from behind the curtains, walking around the stage, waving at the kids and bowing as they all cheered.

"Hiya everybody! My name is Springbonnie, can everybody say Springbonnie?" Springbonnie projected its voice.

"Springbonnie!" the kids repeated.

a Springbonnie laughed in delight and walked over to Bonnie. "Hey Bonnie, what do you think we should do for these guys?" Springbonnie wrapped his arm around Bonnie as Bonnie moved his head to Springbonnie.

Bonnie began to strum his guitar. "Sing a song!" his robotic voice responded.

Springbonnie pulled a banjo from behind the curtain. "Amazing idea!"
