Five Nights at Freddy's: Just a Dream

Chapter 12: Budding Love from the Group, The Fading Balloon (Marielle's POV)

It's been two weeks since I told them the truth. You know... I've been having second thoughts lately... They haven't been talking to me. They have been avoiding me for the past three days. They have even began to be very secretive. It's about time I'm going to find out. I quickly Inviz myself and quickly floated to the Office.

Once I got there, Mike and Scott were setting up. My eyes widened. 'Night 3! I totally forgot about that!' They haven't worked at the Nightshift for quite some time. I hope they'll be alright. Just as I was about to leave and look for the others; I see Mike "accidentally" brushing his hand on Scott's. The two instantly pulled back their hands and blushed. 'Hold on a second...' I thought. As I approached them, they gazed into each other's eyes. I then noticed the feeling they are experiencing.

It was love.

I quietly squealed. This was the first time I see them actually in love with each other. I then decided to leave them alone for a while before rushing to another spot I know two more will be there.

Once I reached the Pirate Cove, I see Jeremy and Fritz together. They are moving some boxes around to get ready for Foxy's Big Day. Just as Jeremy was about to rush for the other stack of boxes... He slipped, bringing Fritz down with him by accident. I had to hold back my squeals and my chuckles. Fritz was on top of him. They stared at each other for a long while before coming back to their senses. They quickly stood up. "I-I just hope no one saw that..." Jeremy stuttered and Fritz nodded in response. Both of their faces were coated a very faint red. Sadly, I had to leave them alone for a long while. Boy they were wrong when they thought they are the only ones who are around.

I rushed to the Apartment Room and- I  immediately looked away. 'Look away Marielle... Look away...' I mentally screamed. I hear a soft gasp and a blanket being lifted and shifted. I turned back around to see Renata and Vincent's bodies being covered by the sheets. "Wha-what are you doing here...?!" They quietly screamed the question. I just smirked. "Believe me when I tell you that I noticed something different between the four men..." I mussed. Now they're curious. "You don't mind telling us right~?" Renata said slyly. I smirked in reply.

After I told them, they had a great idea. I silently nodded and giggled before going Inviz and look for Alex and John.

Ten hours later...

So far; I told Renata, Vincent, John and Alex of the budding relationship between them. I giggled childishly before I went to that special place.

I ran to a very dark corner in that special place and I felt my heart sink deeper and deeper until I fell on my knees and cried. I cried... And cried... I don't know how long have I been crying for... Until I felt a tap on my shoulder and a familiar giggle. I turned to meet Balloon Boy holding a blue balloon that has a single pink stripe in the center. It's hovering above his hand. I looked closer at the balloon in his hand. That's when I saw a big difference. The balloon he's holding... It's transparent... I looked at him to see a sad espression. 'Am I... Disappearing...?' I thought sadly. He soon got down on his knees and tackled me into a hug. I slowly took the fading balloon and replaced his hand with the balloon he first gave me.

I'm slowly running out of time...

He slightly tightened his grip around my waist as I finally tied the balloon in place and return the hug.

It's only a matter of time until I'll disappear forever...

We both pulled away from the hug as I wiped his tear-stained face. I gave him a convincing forced smile. He soon smiled back.

But...

Why do I still feel empty inside...
