A Bears Heart

Once upon a time...

Mangle sat in one of the club dining room tables not sure what to do with herself as she continued to wait for her friends to return.

She was worried about them gravely but at the same time she didn't want to disobey Freya's stern instructions to stay put in the club.

Her legs dangled in a childlike way off of the edge of the table as the boredom had already set in hours ago.

The club was still closed as they had not returned to open it and honestly that was something that worried her greatly.

The sun had already come up as it had past 6 am a while ago...

"It seems they have run into a bit of trouble afterall~" A voice said as Mangle looked up in surprise tot he sight of the masked man from before sitting across from her.

"W-what- how did you- Where-!!"

"Now now darling do not worry about the small detail's too much. You may end up frying that big logical processor of yours and surely we wouldn't want that HAHAHA~" The man said while reading a book.

Mangle sat there alarmed and slightly paniced as she still could not comprehend how the man managed to sneak into the Club without Devola or Popola Noticing.

"Come now don't give me that face~ I mean you ABSOLUTELY no harm.... Quiet the opposite actually..." The man said as he looked towards a doll laying on one of the counters near the bar.

A leftina doll in specific.

"Aside from that!! I also could not help but notice just how Bored you seem to be... so In my GENIUS I decided to just come and sit right next to you! HA surely you don't mind do you~?" The man said again.

"W-what!?" Mangle yelped trying to process everything.

"Oh dear could it be that you perhaps do mind after all? Or maybe this seat is taken already? Oh I am terribly sorry how rude of me. I will be taking my leave then~

"N-nonono wait!!" Mangle said frantic finally able to get a sentance out.

"Hmm~?" The man spoke in response.

"You can stay! You can stay!! Sorry it's just everything happened so suddenly..." She said seeming mentally tired.

"Oh!? ah yes not to worry then!! I tend to have that affect on people so I'm told~" The man said as Mangle got herself together.

"To-too answer your question... yeah.... I am really bored... but.... at the same time.... worried.... I suppose." She said.

"Tell me is there anyway I may be of service? Fair Maiden~" The man said.

"The way you talk is silly..." Mangle spoke giggling a bit.

"You are too kind~!" he said back as mangles face went from the smile she had back to her worried expression again.

"Hey mister? Could you tell me a story?" Mangle said.

Oh Im not sure you would want to hear a story from me... They might not be to your liking.... as most don't end... happily." The man said looking back towards his book.

"I want to hear one anyway!! I like stories!! Foxy used to tell them to me all the time. And I kinda of need one right now...." Mangle said hugging her knees.

"Hmm.... Very well." The man said. As mangle sat back giving her attention.

"Once upon a time..."

"There was a rabbit.... The rabbit lived happily in the woods near a busy town full of people bit mostly spent its days eating carrots and running about without a care in the world~! Life was great for the rabbit.
