Survive the Night: A Foxy X Story

The return

•Marion's P.O.V.•

I watched as the sun rose on Monday morning, my music box chiming beside me. May had come back a little while ago to drop Foxy off, looking weathered and sleep deprived. The fox still seemed relieved though, and the moment he stepped through the door, he was flooded with questions.

"Is she okay?" Chica demanded. "How bad was it?"

"Did she have to get a cast or anything?" Bonnie asked, obviously not aware of how broken ribs worked.

"Aye, the lass be up and walking. She had to get surgery to pull the rib out of 'er lung though. She'll be in tonight."

"She's coming back?"

Everyone turned to look at Freddy, who was still sitting on the stage. Foxy seemed to twitch for a second, a low growl sounding out from his chest. But he cut it off quickly, attempting to act civil.

"Aye. They fix yer glitch yet or ye still be a walking disaster?"

"They fixed it..." Freddy looked away. "I never meant to hurt her Foxy. I didn't know what I was doing."

"I know that lad. Doesn't mean I'm not ready to beat ye again if you put a single toe out of line, ye hear me?"

"Yeah." Freddy sighed quietly. "I hear you."

Foxy's eyes softened. He looked at me, trying to force a smile. "Lass, how be Gold and the rabbit?"

"They're okay. Gold was just as mad as you were. Surprising, considering his first reaction to her."

"First reaction?"

"He wanted her gone. Just the fact that I woke up in her presence was enough for him though."

"That reminds me." Freddy looked up. "Why did Gold give you to her?"

"I knew Minni could wake her up."

Everyone looked to see Gold and Plushtrap enter the room. Plushtrap seemed to be acting more and more like his old self every day, getting stronger. That made me happy. I hoped the toys could adjust as quickly once I finished fixing them.

"How?"

"Minni radiates life." I spoke. "I give life. But I had to be shown some in return. I can't be awake if I'm in a pile of spare parts for years on end. I need warmth and care, just like any normal person. Just like you."

"How did you get Plushtrap active?" Gold asked.

"He was never shut off. Bonnie just got wearer and weaker, until he couldn't do anything. He was barely clinging to life when I got there."

"She saved me..." Plushtrap said, walking up and taking a seat next to me on the pirates cove stage.

"All I needed was his memory chip and some initial endoskeleton wiring. It wasn't that hard to do." I shrugged. "I would have had the whole suit operating, but it was beyond repair. His old body was so decrepit, I barely scrounged up enough fur to fix him this one."

"How did you learn how to fix us?" Chica asked.

"I didn't. I just knew."

Everyone seemed to be satisfied, and as the doors rattled at Mike's presence, we knew it would be time to get back to our positions and start another day. I picked up Plushtrap and skipped over to Gold, following him back into the parts/service room. We were greeted by a garbled voice mixed with radio static.

"You're back..." Mangle looked down from the ceiling, excitement in her tone.

"I need to fix your voice box." I sighed, watching as she jumped down to the floor. "Just sit still a minute..."

~time skips~

•Minni's P.O.V.•

My ribs ached and it was hard to breathe, but I was alive. That's good I guess. I was standing at the dresser in my room, shirtless, staring at my chest. My ribs were a mottled purple and green color, just slightly resembling handprints. I couldn't even put my arms at my sides without pain racking my body.

"Minni?" I heard May knocking on the door. "Can I come in?"

"Yeah."

The door creaked open, and May stepped in the room. Her eyes landed on me and her hand flew to her lips, her eyes wide at the tortoiseshell colors on my sides.

"Oh my god..." She breathed. "That's what Freddy did...?"

"Yeah. It is." I grabbed my jacket off of my bed, pulling it on. Shirts were uncomfortable, didn't matter which one I tried to wear. So jacket it was.

"I really wish you'd stay home. Mike can handle Vincent."

"Yeah, but a murderous fox is a different story." I smiled. "Don't worry about me May. I'll handle it."

"If you say so." She sighed. "Come on, I'll drop you off."

I followed Maylene out to the car, buckling myself in and watching the town flash by as we drove. And in all honesty, I was glad to be going back. I loathed the thought of leaving the pizzeria. It was like home to me.

May pulled into the parking lot, letting me jump out and walk up to the front doors. I didn't pause to say goodnight to her, or hello to my friends. I just walked inside the building and down the hall to my office. Vincent was already there, along with Mike, who must've been waiting for me.

"Oh, hey Minni." Vincent smiled. "Shift's about to start, ready for round two?"

"This is like, round eight for me." I sighed, shooing Mike away. "Go take May on another date or something."

"My pleasure." He tipped his hat and left, just as the bell rang for midnight. I grabbed the tablet immediately, flipping through the cameras. Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie were still on stage, and pirates cove was quiet. I was looking forward to seeing Foxy's lopsided jaw as he stared at the camera.

"Anything?"

"No." I blinked. I did a double take on the screen though when I did, as it suddenly glitched to gold when I tried to look at the parts/service room. "Wait..."

There was a loud, animatronic scree as a red furred pirate jumped through the door. He didn't hesitate to slam his hook against the back of Vincent's head, knocking him out cold. Foxy looked at me, trembling, holding the tablet to my chest. Nothing gets you going like a good scare first thing after the bell.

"Aye, lassie," he was suddenly human, dropping his hook on the desk. "I told May to keep ye at home."

"You know I couldn't pass up a chance to see my Captain." I smiled, setting the tablet down and hugging him. His arms would around my back, holding me close.

"Ye lucky ye be me first mate," he kissed my forehead. "Come on Lass; everyone be waitin' on you."
