Day 4x5 - A Hare, A Gator, A Bear

"Monty...Are you alright?"

The interior was done sans a final once-over. You had purposely saved the exterior for last because the exterior would be the one everyone sees. It was always satisfying seeing the exterior look all shiny and clean knowing the interior was in just as good a shape. It was a treat for you.

Now was a good a time as ever to treat yourself.

You get to work repairing and replacing his exterior parts. Out of boxes you pulled new gauntlets for his arms, new retro pants and new leg plates.

You finally got a good look at the bottom half of Bonnie. His legs had about the same thickness as you'd seen with Freddy and Monty. You start by removing the part of the leg plate that Monty smashed with a golf club.

Time flies by and you don't even notice the hours passing.

The top of his legs had a different shade of purple ring around them where they met his torso. Going down the legs he had leopard-pattered magenta-coloured legging warmers with his paws having light purple colour to match his stomach and nose. Aside from the leg warmers on his right leg there was also a black-coloured bottom leg piece. It matched the black gauntlets on his arms. His claws were covered in dirt accumulated from neglect so you wiped those down with a rag. They were gold and matched the claws on his hands and the star on his eye.

During the process you also double check all the wires were going to the right places. While looking at Bonnie's face to make sure it was in proper shape you notice that the nose itself had a wire connected to it. It was pressure sensitive.

You let curiosity get the better of you and poke Bonnie's nose. It lets out an audible squeak like a dog's toy would. You giggle. You wonder if the other animatronics had such a feature.

Though it probably would have just pissed Monty off further.

With a click you attach the final gauntlet. After a few days of work, Bonnie was complete.

This was the original bassist for the band intact and fully repaired.

You take a step back and admire your work. You stop and notice something.

The whole thing was still covered slightly in grime. You blew the dust off earlier but after not moving for a year it worked its way in.

Searching around the room you find a jug of alcohol and a stack of brown paper towels.

You start by wiping down Bonnie's face and getting in-between whatever cracks and notches you could.

It takes a few wipes to actually complete the whole body but you get through it. The stench of pure alcohol starts to burn at your nostrils. You take out the face mask you packed in your bag for just such an occasion.

He had really been neglected this whole time, you think sombrely.

It took a few more complete wipe-overs before the paper towel came out without picking up any mildew. In the boxes the rep left were some cans of compressed air. You get to spraying whatever was still stuck there, catching it with a rag.

At the bottom of one of the boxes you find a small spray bottle and a folded up red shirt. Taking the shirt out first you find it's Bonnie's bowling shirt. It was the same as from the pictures you saw in his area.

As for the bottle it looked to be like a perfume bottle. It contained a purple liquid labelled BONNIE'S AMBIANCE with a small notice at the bottom that said it was for Bonnie's room. Well, it beats smelling like rubbing alcohol. You spray him all over. It emits a pleasant lavender scent.
