"Stop it, she didn't do anything wrong!" A little girl screamed to the other kids. She was only six.
Mangle looked at the girl with disbelief clearly written all over her eyes.
"Who cares? This is fun." A fat boy yelled over the crowd of little kids.
Who cares.
"No, it's not." She screamed.
But nobody listened. They kept on braking the animatronic.
The girl started crying, her actions surprising Mangle. She didn't even notice the male fox animatronic standing not too far away.
"Arr, me maties. What about we go and play in me pirate cove? Me be needin' a lot of help to find me lost treasure chest."
The kids started to squeal and shout and run around him.
"Captain Foxy is a jolly good fellow! For he's a jolly good fellow!" They cheered.
Mangle felt a little jealous, but pushed the feeling away. She watched as all the little thugs ran after the pirate fox.
The little girl stayed behind though. She looked at Mangle and wiped away her tears.
"Aren't you going to go with them?" Mangle asked.
She shook her head.
"I don't like playing pirate." She frowned. Then she came closer to Mangle and sat beside her.
"The other kids are mean for doing that to you. They shouldn't do that to beautiful things."
"Don't worry, I'm already used with it. It's actually my job." Mangle said.
"No, you're job is to play with kids, not to get taken apart like that." She said. And she was right.
Mangle looked at the floor in sadness. She really missed the days when the kids were nice to her, and everything was wonderful. But then, they just started hating her for no reason. Some of them started hurting her. After a while, it was considered normal for the kids to do that. She still failed to understand why.
"Please don't be sad." The girl begged. Mangle looked at her and smiled.
"What's your name?" She asked.
"I'm Annie." She smiled too.
"What a lovely name" Mangle complimented.
"Thank you." Annie grinned. "Can I give you a compliment too?"
"Okay." Mangle said.
"I think you're really beautiful." Annie said.
"Thank you, Annie." Mangle felt happy talking with the girl. They were like old friends.
"But anything that is beautiful, people want to break." She frowned. "And you're beautiful, I'm afraid."
"Where did you hear that from?" Mangle asked.
"It's what I think and believe." She said in a serious tone.
"People get jealous easily. So they try to break and ruin the people they envy at any cost. They're really selfish like that. They would really do anything to prevent them from being happy. "
"You're a really smart girl." Mangle told her.
"Annie, the restaurant is closing. We should go home now, sweetheart." A woman that seemed to be Annie's mother told her.
"Okay." She said.
"Bye, Mangle. I had a great time thanks to you." She said cheerfully.
"I had a great time too. Will you be coming back anytime soon?" Mangle asked.
"I hope so." She said.
They said goodbye and the girl walked out with her mother. Mangle liked her. She was the first and only child who didn't try to ruin her. And she was greatful for that.
Mangle realized that the restaurant was almost empty, and some of the animatronics were already going backstage. But she didn't see Foxy anywhere.
-----------
Once again, she was staying with the old animatronics. They were happy to see her again. They were also happy for her when she told her about the little girl named Annie.
"What a n-nice girl." Chica said. "I h-h-hope s-she comes again soon."
"Well I h-ope m-more kids tr-eat y-y-you that w-way. You d-deserve respect." Bonnie huffed.
"Aye, she be needin' more love from the kids, I'd say." Foxy said.
"Well, it's n-nice knowing s-someone st-st-stood u-up for y-you." Freddy said.
Mangle felt proud.
They continued talking until the security guard came in and disactivated them. Once again, Foxy and Mangle refused.
The security guard sighed, and as always warned the two still active animatronics to stay out of the night-shift security guard's office. Then, he left.
"Hey, Foxy?"
"Hmm?"
"Where did you run off to last night?" She asked eagerly.
Foxy growled a little. "I 'ad to save 'im."
"Who?" Mangle asked.
"Jeremy." He said. "Toy Bonnie be going in the vents again last night."
"Why do you bother?" Mangle asked.
"If one of the animatronics would kill 'im, it be all over the news. The pizzeria be closed down for investigation. And you know what that be meaning. No one be ever coming 'ere again. Me sure not be wanting that to happen."
"I see.." She said.
"I know how much you love performing, and-"
"Err...that's not the exact reason.." He blushed.
"Because you wouldn't want to loose your friends, right?"
"No." He shifted closer to her.
"Me just don't want to loose you, me lassie." He whispered.
**THERE. YOU GOT A LITTLE ROMANCE. IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE RUSHED. BUT YOU'VE PROBABLY BEEN WAITING FOR IT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS STORY. SO YA.
Anywhoo, hope you enjoyed that.
Once again, I am sincerely sorry if Foxy's "Pirate Language" is wrong.**
