Don't You Remember? (A FoxyXMangle Fanfiction.)

Chapter 4

Mangle's POV

For the remainder of the night, the others were teasing Foxy and I. My cheeks were burning, and I was sure Foxy's were too.

Something about him made my insides twist every time I saw him. Maybe it was because I was nervous. Or was it because I liked him?

Nonsense. I've only just met him.

Now I stood on my stage, patiently waiting for opening time to arrive, and for the blissful cheers of children to fill the pizzeria and my cove.

The red rose glistened in the dim light beside me. I smiled, picking it up. It rest in the palm of my hands.

Suddenly, I heard the familiar call; someone yelling "Opening time!"

I had almost dropped the rose out of fright, but luckily, I caught it as it started to hurtle towards the ground.

With a sigh, I carefully set it back on the shelf and positioned myself correctly.

In a short amount of time, customers finally arrived. The pizzeria became quite noisy as the band began to play automatically.

I heard someone shuffle into the cove. They opened my Curtains. It was one of the pizzeria employees. He glanced over me, then shut them.

I could hear more footsteps into the pizzeria. Voices became louder and the place grew busy.

I sighed softly, hearing footsteps shuffle into my cove. Small ones, too.

The curtains in front of me opened, and the show was on.

Foxy's POV

After the long day, everything was finally silent again. I sighed, stepping out of my cove.

Toy Chica, Toy Bonnie, and Toy Freddy were all sitting on the edge of the stage. They were chatting quietly, almost like they wanted no one to hear them.

I approached them. "Aye.." I said, giving an awkward smile as all three of them looked up at me with wide eyes.

Toy Chica was the one to play it smooth, like they weren't just trying to hide it from me.

"Oh hey Foxy!'' She said, glancing around a few times before looking back up at me.

I smiled. "Heh.. What do ye guys suppose ye were talkin' about?"

Toy Bonnie and Toy Freddy sat with wide eyes.

"N-nothing!" Toy Bonnie said, His eyes squinting, and a bright, cheesy smile plastering over his face.

I frowned. "Okay, seriously, tell ol' Foxy what ye were talkin' about!"

All three of them sighed, looking down.

"Well," Toy Freddy began, "We were just talking about you and Mangle."

"What about Mangle and I?" I demanded with a growl.

They backed up.

"Calm down, Calm down," Toy Bonnie said. "We were just thinking about helping you and her out. That's all."

I felt my cheeks burn slightly. "Oh. Sorry, I just didn't want ye talkin' bad about me lass."

"Hey guys!" A cheery voice said.

I turned to see Mangle approaching us. She wore a bright smile.

"Ahoy, lassie!" I said, smiling at her as she came to a stop beside me.

Mangle started to blush. "What are you guys doing?"

I glanced to the others, opening my mouth to say something.

"Nothing, just hanging." Toy Chica said, grabbing Toy Bonnie's hand.

"Oh." Mangle sat down on the stage next to me.

I forced a smile. But maybe it wasn't forced. Mangle looked beautiful as always.

I realized that I had missed Mangle so much, I let it reflect on me. I had tried to erase her from my mind multiple times. It's not like she would ever remember everything we had.

"So," Toy Chica said.

"Sooo..." Toy Bonnie said, slinging an arm around Toy Chica.

She smiled sweetly, and leaned up to kiss his cheek.

I let a sigh escape me. As much as I wanted Mangle to remember everything, deep down inside of me I knew it was impossible.

Toy Freddy growled a bit. "It's nice that you two have a relationship, but do you have to rub it in?"

Toy Bonnie and Toy Chica looked at Toy Freddy with confused expressions.

He sighed. "You know what, never mind."

I looked am over at Mangle, who shrugged.

While the others began to talk, I decided to start a conversation with Mangle. "How are ye?" I asked, feeling nervous as she turned to me.

Stupid! Stupid question, Foxy!

"I'm great!" Mangle said, smiling. "How are you?"

"Same here." I smiled back at her.

I decided to make the first move on her. I shifted slightly closer to her.

A sigh of relief escaped me as she didn't notice.

"Did you ever preform for the kids?" Mangle asked.

"Aye, of course I did!" I told her. "I told adventures of ol' Foxy the Pirate and his adventures on the seven seas."

Mangle laughed, and I felt my cheeks heat.

"Arghh, I remember the time a giant kraken attacked me ship!" I continued. "His long tentacles nearly caught Cap'n Foxy, but I fought him off with a cannon." I said, waving my hands around while I explained.

Mangle laughed harder now. She was smiling. It was the first time I'd seen her so happy since she'd been reset.

I laughed with her.

"I'm glad you weren't hurt!" Mangle said, pushing me on the shoulder gently.

I smiled at her, and she smiled back. Our eyes locked, and we gazed at each other.

It continued on for many moments, until Mangle was distracted by the others.

I felt so much better. Talking to Mangle again took away the numbness that had been residing inside me. I thanked Freddy for dragging me out of my cove to face Mangle again.
