Dylan POV:

I was not expecting the call from Bryan today, nor was I expecting Orville. I still find it odd how convenient that was. We walked around the third floor since that was where the remnant was. I looked at Bryan and it was obvious he hadn't slept for 2 days. I also didn't realize he knew this much about souls in animatronics, of course, he was in the company for at least two years longer than I was. And he's been dealing with the portal, a lot. A cold breeze flew by, and I thought it was air conditioning. Bryan then stumbled and his phone dropped to the ground. Before we could do or say anything, Bryan said, "Something's wrong, and that's not a normal breeze." Shadow Bonnie asked, "Is it the portal?" Bryan shook his head, "N-no, it's." Bryan's eyes widened and he looked past us. "It's Bonnie. We gotta go, NOW!" Bryan grabbed his phone and put it into his pocket. He ran down the stairs and we trailed right behind him, Orville yelled, "BRYAN, SLOW DOWN! When did he get this fast?" Bryan stopped in front of the sleeping corner in the daycare. Shadow Bonnie walked over to see what Bryan was looking at, he gasped and looked upset. Orville and I walked over to see what they were staring at. We were both shocked, it was a kid. The kid wore an oversized red sweater and black pants, he had ruffled brown hair, his throat looked cut open, and his chest was covered in blood, there were also blue rabbit ears on his head, and a Bonnie mask was sitting next to him. He was curled into a ball and shaking, yet he didn't make any noise. Orville asked, "Is this?" "Bonnie." Shadow Bonnie looked like he knew what was going on, and as if this happened before, he walked towards the kid and sat down. Shadow Bonnie picked up the kid and placed him in his lap. Shadow Bonnie then grabbed the mask and placed it in the kid's hands. "Shhhh, I know it hurts right now bud. But it's already over, it's been over for years, you're okay now Bon." I looked over at Bryan and he was staring at Bonnie. Bryan looked concerned as he gripped his sleeves. I put my hand on Bryan's shoulder, "Hey, you okay?" Bryan looked over at me, "Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry if I seem tense, I space out like this every once in a while." Orville said, "It's fine. Although, it seems like this may have happened before by the way Shadow Bonnie is acting." I then said, "At least Glamrock Bonnie's alright. My only question is how he got disconnected." "Guys, he's looking at us." Said, Orville. Bonnie looked at us, then Shadow Bonnie and the mask in his hands. Bonnie put it on the ground in front of him. I got a good like at Bonnie, he almost looked like Bryan, which I thought was odd, and his eyes were black with glowing white pupils. Bryan walked over and sat next to Shadow Bonnie; he waved, "Hey bud, do you know me?" Bonnie looked at Bryan; he almost said something but stopped. Bonnie looked away from Bryan as he brought his hand to the cut on his neck and sniffled; tears dripped from his eyes. Bryan looked down and then up at me. Shadow Bonnie held Bonnie close to his chest, "Can you not speak?" Bonnie nodded, "Alright, then. Orville, could you go find something for Bonnie to write on?" "Yeah, I can do that. But will he be able to touch it?" "If I can touch objects, I'm sure Bonnie can too." Said, Orville. He walked off and I sat down with Bryan, Shadow Bonnie, and Bonnie. I asked, "Bud, I know this is probably a lot to ask of you right now. But could you answer one yes or no question from each of us? Not counting this question." Bonnie looked down at the mask for a minute before he slowly nodded. Shadow Bonnie spoke. "Is it alright if I go first?" Asked Shadow Bonnie. Bryan nodded and I said, "Sure, I don't see anything wrong with that." Shadow Bonnie sighed, "Okay. First question, do you recognize any of us?" Bonnie shook his head. "Alright, that's a start." Said, Bryan. He looked at me and motioned his head toward Bonnie. "Hold on, you want me to ask the next question?" "Yes." "Okay then. Do you know where you are right now?" Bonnie shook his head again. "I think I have a hunch on what happened now." Bryan and I both looked at Shadow Bonnie in confusion. "What do you think happened, Bonnie?" Asked Bryan. Shadow Bonnie covered Bonnie's rabbit ears and whispered. "I have to be quiet because even with covering his ears, he has a habit of overhearing things he shouldn't. Also, I do not want to make him panic and disappear from us. But I think when he got disconnected, his soul reverted to right after he got killed. From what I can remember, Bonnie did something that wanted Afton to kill him specifically. So let's not mention the guy or his death. He's fragile, and almost anything can give the kid a heart attack." Shadow Bonnie let go of Bonnie's ears and Bonnie looked at the three of us; confused. "Alright, I'm back, and I found an etch-a-sketch." Bryan and I turned to see Orville holding an etch-a-sketch pad with a plastic pen dangling from it by a string. Orville knelt in front of Bonnie and Shadow Bonnie, "You know how to use this kid?" Bonnie shook his head again. Orville then sighed, "Alright, so you see the pen here, along with the button on the side of the pad?" Bonnie slowly nodded his head. "Great, so when you put the pen against the white part of the pad, lines show up. But when you run out of space or want to erase everything, you press the button like this." Orville made a line on the pad and then once he pressed the button the line disappeared. He then put down the pen and said, "You know what to do, kid?" Bonnie looked nervous, but he picked up the pen wrote something, and showed us. It said, Like this? Shadow Bonnie and Bryan smiled and I gave a thumbs up. Orville sighed in relief while saying, "Oh, thank god." Bonnie slightly smiled and erased what he wrote and then wrote something else. He showed us after a moment, You still haven't asked your question, sir. Bonnie looked at Bryan. "Oh, sorry, guess I forgot, I'll ask my question." Bryan hesitated before saying, "This question may shock you or hit a sore spot, it might not. But, do you have any siblings?" We watched as Bonnie began to write something down, I do. I miss him. I wanna see him again. A few tears dripped from Bonnie's eyes as he looked down at the mask and picked it up. He then put the mask on top of his head. I whispered to Bryan, "Why did you ask that question?" Bryan whispered back, "Just wanted to check something. That something is confirmed" "Okay then." Bryan then spoke a little bit louder for Bonnie to hear, "Sorry for asking you that, but I just wanted to double-check something. You okay?" Bonnie slightly smiled and then wrote something else. It's okay, and I'm fine. But, can I ask a question? Shadow Bonnie spoke up, "Of course. What do you need?" Bonnie hit the button and then wrote, Who are all of you? I know the orange elephant is Orville, but I don't know everyone else. And why did you call me Bonnie? Bonnie looked up at Shadow Bonnie and the three of us. I spoke up, "The reason why we're calling you Bonnie is a little complicated. But, my name is Dylan, the rabbit there is Shadow Bonnie, you know Orville, and the man beside me is Bryan." Bonnie's eyes widened when I said my name along with Bryan's. He went scribbling on the pad so fast, I couldn't tell what he was writing until he showed us, That's my name and my brother's. Orville and I were both confused while Shadow Bonnie and Bryan stared at each other and then at Bonnie with worried looks. Orville asked, "Is there something you two know but we don't?" Bonnie wrote something down again. What's going on? Is this something where hands are on my head again, and I can't hear? Shadow Bonnie sighed, "No, it's not kiddo. We need to get you back to where you belong. It would be easier to talk with everyone then." Bonnie erased everything he wrote and started writing something new to show us. Where do I belong? This place doesn't feel like home. It doesn't feel right. Shadow Bonnie picked Bonnie and stood up. He said, "I know things feel weird right now, but everything will be fine once we get you back to normal. Do you know what I'm talking about when I say 'back to normal'?" Bonnie looked down at the pad and shook his head. He clicked the button on the pad again and wrote something new to show us. Am I going home? Will I see my brother and everyone else again? Shadow Bonnie looked stunned while Orville started to say, "Hey guys, is Bonnie-" "Don't finish that sentence, talk about this later." Said Bryan, interrupting Orville. "Hold on, what is happening?" I asked, feeling very confused. "We can talk about this later. First, let's get our little friend back to where he belongs. Isn't that right, bud?" Shadow Bonnie smiled and Bonnie grinned in return. We began to walk out of the daycare and down the stairs. I looked back and saw Bryan still on the staircase. I walked back up, and he looked as if he were about to pass out, "Bryan, are you sure you're okay?" Bryan at me blankly, I couldn't read him. He sighed, "Look, I just need some sleep and confirmation, then I'll be fine. But the only thing I want to worry about right now is Shadow and Glamrock Bonnie. If I'm not asleep in two hours, I give you or any animatronics, except Moon and Helpy, full permission to knock me out." We continued to walk down the stairs and toward the basement as we talked. "You're treating this as if it happened before." Bryan shrugged, "Let's say that a few of the animatronics are professionals in specific sleeping drugs because of our time at the theme park." I stopped as we walked behind the stage. "BRYAN?! Are you-" "I'm fine, besides. The only sleep I had gotten in that week was half an hour. Now, let's go make sure Glamrock Bonnie's alright and back to normal." "Okay?" I walked behind Bryan and let all my thoughts and questions run through my mind, (What exactly happened during the theme park? And how many things will be explained? I hope we get some answers.)
