The Second Night (Pt. 2) - A Sick Man

Suddenly, a white and pink fox robot peaked out from her curtain, immediately seeing Trevor and Travis, along with their security outfits, making her immediately hide behind her curtain again.

Trevor: H-hey! Is something wrong?
Fredderina: She's fine, but like I said, she's not good at meeting security guards, and since there are two of you, that's double the weight on her shoulders to make a good impression.
Trevor: Funny... that happens to me, too.
Fredderina: Hmm... wait one moment.

Fredderina carefully walked onto the stage, behind the curtains. Everyone could hear talking, yet couldn't make out any words. Soon, the white and pink fox walked off the stage, gripping Fredderinas hand tightly.

Mangle: Um... he-hello. M-my name is M-Mangle. I'm um... Foxys younger s-sister.
Travis: We'll, it's nice to meet you, Mangle. My name is Travis, and this is my brother-

Travis paused, seeing the blush on his brothers face.

Travis: Trevor? Did you get hit by a cherry pie, dude?
Trevor: Oh, uh, sorry. I... um... spaced out for a moment. Um... hello, Mangle. My name is... Trevor. I'm Travis's twin brother.
Mangle: Oh... um... no w-wonder you two l-look so alike. But... the only difference is that... um... paleness on T-Travis.

Travis felt a chill go down his spine, as Trevor looked at Travis's face.

Trevor: Oh, I... never actually noticed that.
Mangle: OH! I-I'm sorry if that was... a more p-personal thing! I j-just saw that and-
Travis: N-No no no! It's fine, I just probably... um... need more sunlight on my face.
Trevor: But... you're at the beach every other day.
Travis (lying): Y-yep. The beach. That's where I go.
Trevor: Um... okay? Anyway, it was, um, n-nice to meet you M-Mangle.
Mangle: Um... yea... y-you, too, T-Trevor.

Fredderina nodded and began to walk away, Travis quickly following.

Trevor: Um... s-see you around.

Trevor quickly ran after Fredderina, Travis, Chica and Bonnie. Mangle watched as Trevor walked away.

Fredderina: Okay, the next one we will be seeing is very powerful, and can do many things with her mind. Just... don't give her a reason and you'll be fine.

Trevor and Travis nodded. Fredderina was about to knock on a large box, painted like a birthday present, but the lid slowly opened, with a spine-chilling creak. Slowly, a black and white striped marionette rose up from the box.

Fredderina: Marionetta! Um... have a nice nap?
Marionetta: Fredderina! How nice for you to drop by. I foresaw you arriving with someone tonight. So, what are your names?

Trevor: I'm Trevor, Miss Marionetta. It's nice to meet you.
Travis: The names Travis, ma'am.

Marionetta looked at Travis with a funny look, almost as if she saw a spider on his face. Travis quickly noticed this, and began looking around him.

Travis: Are... you okay?

Travis could see from the corner of his eye Fredderina looking very nervous. Did Travis do something wrong? Did he not introduce himself right?

Marionetta: Yes, I'm... quite alright.
Fredderina: Well, that, um, concludes the introductions. Let's go back to the dinning area.
Marionetta: Actually, I would like to speak to Travis in private, please.

Fredderina gave almost a scared face, and walked to the dinning room without responding, Bonnie quickly following. Trevor and Chica looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and followed. Travis, slightly scared, stared at Marionetta, until she spoke.

Marionetta: Why haven't you told him?
Travis: What?
Marionetta: You're ill, and you haven't said anything. Why?
Travis: *sigh* I... don't want him to be worried. I've been lying to him for over a year about going to the beach and the gym. When, in reality, I'm-
Marionetta: Being treated by doctors.
Travis: ...
Marionetta: And even though you don't know how much time you have left, you can't find the strength to tell your beloved twin that you won't spend all of your lives together.
Travis: ...
Marionetta: That... must be very difficult.
Travis: Yea... it is. I wish it wasn't. I wish it was just a fever. I wish it would be us forever. I wish... I wish it was like I promised.

Suddenly, Travis began coughing again. Slowly going from a light cough, to falling on his knees, wheezing. Travis quickly took the pills out of his pocket, and swallowed two of them.

Marionetta: And... you are worsening.

Suddenly, someone shouted from behind Travis.

Bonnie: I FUCKING KNEW IT!

Travis quickly realized that being on your knees in front of a woman isn't something you'd want someone who thinks you're a pervert to see you doing.

Travis: Bonnie, wai-
Bonnie: Guys! Travis is a per-

Travis quickly put a hand over Bonnie's mouth, and pulled her toward where Marionetta was.

Travis: Listen, I'm going to move my hand, and I will explain what you just saw. If you don't believe me, Marionetta will tell you if I'm lying, got it?
Bonnie (muffled): Fiiiiiiiine.

Travis slowly moved his hand from Bonnie's mouth.

Bonnie: So, what's your bullshit excuse for that sight.
Travis: Listen to me, Cottontail-... Bonnie. I'm sick.
Bonnie: You bet you're sick.
Travis (whisper shouting): No! I MEAN I'M FUCKING DIEING!

Bonnie looked at Travis, confused.

Marionetta: It's true, Bonnie.
Bonnie (thinking): So... that's why he's so protective of Trevor. He... wants to show him how to be tougher.
Travis: I've been like this for over a year now. Coughing till I'm on my knees, lying to my brother... I don't even know how much time I have left.
Bonnie: What does Trevor think about this?
Trevor: ...
Bonnie: ... You haven't told him yet, have you?
Trevor: ... Listen to me, and listen close. I don't want him knowing until I'M ready, got that?

Bonnie nodded. Travis and Bonnie walked back to the dinning room.

Fredderina: Oh thank god she didn't telepathically rip you limb from limb.
Travis: Wow... comforting.
Trevor: So, what'd you guys talk about?
Travis: Oh, uh... nothing in partic-

Suddenly, Travis's body jolted. Bonnie quickly realized, as his body began jolting more.

Bonnie (thinking): He's trying to hold in a cough.
