The Puppet's End (Goldy series) Book 3

Chapter 5: Game Time

I wake up to see Springtrap gone once again. Maybe I can find out where he went. I unhook myself like so and run done the halls to look for him. I end up finding him by one of the arcade games and walk up next to him. "What are you doing?" I see his face just about pressed up to the sheet playing a game. I'm surprised this piece of junk works! "I'm beating my high score!" [THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID HAAAAAAAaaaaa ok, I know that was bad just.....just pretend I don't exist and read the story.....wait, why are you still reading this? I said read the story! Seriously, stop reading this and read the story. Why aren't you reading the story!? STOP READING THIS! WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS!? READ THE-] "Ok.....So....uhhh how do you play?" I ask seeing him smack his hand next to the joy stick and I look at the screen to see in red letters, GAME OVER. "Well, your the red guy and you have to eat the yellow dots and make sure those monsters don't touch you. The game is called, Mac-Pan." Why does that game sound very familiar? I start to play and seem to be doing very well. Springtrap points to the screen, "Oh look! Get the pizza! That gives you bonus points!" Seriously, why does this game so familiar? "I wish this place had a kitchen, I'm starving." He said, rubbing his stomach. Actually, I'm a bit hungry myself. Sudden images of Chica flash in my mind, making lose concentration and lose the game. I shake my head and look at the screen to see that somehow I got the high score! "Yay!" I throw my hands in the air and take a step back, almost making me fall but Springtrap quickly helps me up. I hear him laughing and I get a bit awkward. Hmm when was the last time I laugh? Laughing seems foreign to me, as sad as it sounds. I feel like after everything, I was completely broken but now, piece by piece, I'm becoming whole again! Know that I think about it......."How come your not laughing?" "Huh?" I shake my head, getting back to reality and out of my head, "sorry, what?" He sighs, "How come your not laughing?" I cross my arms, "I just...I just haven't laugh in a while." He looks at me as if I was crazy. "What? Well, I'm gonna have to change that." I rise in eyebrow but, before I could even think about what he meant, he picks me up in bridle style. "Wha-!?" I look up at him. "Unfortunately, I'll have to do that tomorrow." He sighs sadly. Tomorrow? I look at the digital clock to see is almost six. What? Last time I checked, it was still barley one. How long were we play that game? Without warning, Springtrap darts down the halls. I cling to him as his make very sharp turns down the halls. He's just as fast as Foxy, possibly faster! Finally, we reach my hooks and he helps me up. "With a few minutes to spare." He said, with a few deep breaths. He looks back at me, walks closer to me. "How come your finally opening up to me?" I tilt my head, "What do you mean?" He doesn't say anything else. He just kicks a box in front of him, stands on it to get to eye level and stares at me. "What?" I ask, getting uncomfortable. "Has anyone told you how beautiful you are?" He whispered as he held my chin. My eyes slight widen at his sudden complaint. His face starts to get closer to mine and I turn away. No. No I.....I can't. "I'm sorry.....I just-" "No.....don't be...." He cuts me off and get off the box.

Springtrap simply sits down and turns into an animatronic. I can't. I still love him.

Springtrap's P.O.V.

I decided to play some of the arcade games, since (y/n) isn't up yet. All though, I can't really focus on the game. I keep about her, what's happened to her? Or, I should say, what's happening to her. She's suddenly opening up to me, as if something or someone is helping her with her broken self. I just can't put two and two to gather. I feel someone walk up next to me. "What are you doing?" (Y/n) trying to see what I'm playing. "I'm beating my high score!" I say, not taking my eyes off the screen. More like I'm trying to figure you out. No matter how hard to try, I can't understand you. "Ok.....So....uhhh how do you play?" She asked as lose the game....again. "Well, your the red guy and you have to eat the yellow dots and make sure those monsters don't touch you. The game is called, Mac-Pan." She starts to play and seem to be doing very well. Well, what do you know. I point to the screen, "Oh look! Get the pizza! That gives you bonus points!" I suddenly feel my stomach growling. "I wish this place had a kitchen, I'm starving." I said, rubbing his stomach. Something seems to make her lose concentration and lose the game. She shakes her head and look at the screen to see that she got the high score. "Yay!" She throws her hands in the air and takes a step back, almost making her fall but luckily, I quickly help her up. I start laughing at her tripping and notice that she isn't laughing but, seriously zoned out. "How come your not laughing?" "Huh?" She shakes her head, "sorry, what?" I sigh, "How come your not laughing?" She crosses her arms, "I just...I just haven't laugh in a while." What? She hasn't laughed in a while, how long is a while, I wonder. "What? Well, I'm gonna have to change that." She rises in eyebrow but, I see that it about time to get her hooked up so, I pick her up in bridle style. "Wha-!?" She looks up at him. "Unfortunately, I'll have to do that tomorrow." I sighs sadly. Man does time fly and without warning, too. I darts down the halls and (y/n) cling to me as I make very sharp turns down the halls. She doesn't seemed too shocked by my speed, odd. Finally, we reach her hooks and I help her up. "With a few minutes to spare." I said, with a few deep breaths. I look back at her, walked closer to her. "How come your finally opening up to me?" She tilt her head, "What do you mean?" I want to know you, help you, share your pain. Just.....let me in....I kick a box in front of me, stand on it to get to eye level and stares at her. "What?" She asked, getting uncomfortable. "Has anyone told you how beautiful you are?" I whispered as I held her chin. Her eyes slight widen at what I said. What happening to me? I'm getting all these new feeling. I just......I just want.....I starts to lean towards her and she turn away. "I'm sorry.....I just-" "No.....don't be...." I cut her off and get off the box.

I simply sit down and turns into an animatronic. I think.....I think I'm in love with her.
