A New Guard

Chapter Twenty-One: Foxy and Bonnie

As I pull up to Freddy's, I see Fred, Mike, and a few other people standing by the entrance of Freddy's, the animatronics standing nearby. Everyone looks at me as I pull up.

'I'll keep quiet," Mangle says as I begin to step out of my car. Fred walks up to me the moment he recognizes my face.

"What's going on?" I say, noticing a discerned expression on Fred's face. Fred sighs quickly before answering.

"We're scrapping the animatronics," Fred says. Shock fills us at those words. Scrapping the animatronics?

"Scrapping them? I thought Freddy's was going under new management," I say. Sudden anxiety kicks in and throws me in a slight panic.

"That wasn't true. These recent events have cut our budget to where we won't be able to afford a mechanic for the animatronics anymore, so we're having them scrapped for money," Fred says. Ouch. I wonder if they know about that. Mike soon walks up, something in his hand.

"Hey Fred," Mike says. Fred turns to face Mike, confused. I get a feel of confusion as well as Mike hands Fred a large amount of cash. What's he doing?

"What's this for?" Fred says, taking the money and looking at it. What is said next, I was not expecting.

"If possible, I'd like to buy the withered Foxy and Bonnie," Mike says. Shock fills us as Mike says that. What? He's going to try to buy Foxy and Bonnie? Why is he doing this? Fred is taken back by the offer, continuing to check the money he was given.

"You certainly have enough... I don't see a problem with that. Let's get you taken care of," Fred says. Mike nods, a smile lightly shown.

"Before we get that taken care of, I want to talk to Matthew real quick," Mike says. Talk to me? Why does he want to talk to me? And about what? Mike walks up to me as I shut the door to my car.

"What's up?" I say. Mike looks around to make sure nobody is near.

"I'm not doing this for my own enjoyment, so you'd better take care of Foxy and Bonnie," Mike says. Wait, I'd better take care of them? It clicks in my head after a few times around those words. He's giving them to me?

"Wait, are you giving them to me?" I say. Mike nods lightly in response. He's actually going to give me the animatronics? What am I going to do with them?

"I know how much they care for you. And honestly, those two withereds are all I can get you," Mike says.

"Thanks," I say, despite the fact that I don't know where I'll keep them. Fred returns and pulls Mike away. Using the break, I walk up to the animatronics. They look, different in natural light. I shift my attention to Withered Foxy and Bonnie, my mind returning to the topic of what I'm going to do with them. Mike walks back up to me, catching my attention.

"You care to help me get these two loaded?" Mike says, glancing at Foxy and Bonnie. I look at Foxy and Bonnie again, a smile slightly forming before I nod.

"Yeah. I'll help," I say. Mike nods and gets to work moving Bonnie while I move Foxy.

"In here," Mike says, getting Bonnie set in a van. I get Foxy moved over to the van and Mike helps get Foxy in beside Bonnie before closing the doors to the van. "Lead the way," Mike says. I get in my car and begin the drive home, still thinking about what was happening earlier.

"Everything alright?" Mangle says, startling me. I take a quick breath to calm myself before answering.

"Yeah. Just thinking about what's going to happen to Toy Freddy and the others," I say. I feel a wave of pity from Mangle as I say that.
