Two Of A Kind

Chapter 14~ Another Wager

Springtrap's Pov:

I walked down the hall, of course Marionette didn't want to see Bon Bon, he was going to shut her off and fix the bowtie. I only lied to get her away from Bonnie. The truth is, I don't want to be here. I hate it here, it's so bright and cheery. The only person I can really relate to is Bon Bon, she has that little dark side to her. What's it called? Shadow Bonnie? Yea, that's it. It makes her attractive. But of course Bonnie has to be a little love sick puppy and follow her everywhere, he's going down.

I walked into the supply closet, seeing Marionette sitting down on the table, with a powered down Bon Bon.

"Did you fix it?" I asked, looking at him.

"Course I did." Marionette nodded, getting off the table. "How did it get damaged anyway?"

"Bonnie was training with her." I answered, hating his name in my mouth. "He must've hit her too hard."

"Seems like it." Marionette told me. "She needs to be more careful. I actually didn't want her training with him."

"Golden said he could." I said, standing next to him.

"Of course he did.." Marionette crossed his arms. "I'll go talk to him."

"You do that." I nodded, watching him fade away angrily.

"Oh..t-they're beautiful F-Freddy dear.." Mangle says in awe at the flowers Toy Freddy brought for her. "I l-love them!"

Toy Freddy blushes softly, smiling from ear to ear as she plants a loving kiss on his cheek. Mari walks by them, disgusted and rolling his eyes. He looks around, spotting Toy Chica and Chica talking over a few plans as Bonnie drills away into a new piece of equipment.

He walks over to the bunny, a glare on his face.

"Alright bunny, where is he?" Mari spat, crossing his arms.

"Who?" Bonnie stops drilling, puzzled.

"Golden obviously! He told you and Bon Bon to train right?" Mari asks, getting angrier by the second.

"Um..yea?" Bonnie still looks confused.

"So where is he?!" Mari slammed his small hands on the table.

"You might want to ask Freddy, he went in there about an hour ago.." Bonnie points towards his friend's room.

"Thank you." Mari pulls himself from the table and starts to walk down the hall to Freddy's room.

Bonnie suddenly calls out after him. "I'm not sure you wanna go in there though! Foxy went in there and-"

"Don't care!" Mari yelled back right as he reached Freddy's door.

He opened it with a smug smirk, ignoring his warning. "Freddy! I demand to know where Gold---!"

The sight before him shut him up immediately. He walked into his room at a very wrong time. Foxy and Freddy were on the floor, with the pirate straddling the bear with his arms around his neck. Freddy had his arms hugging Foxy's waist, hugging him close as they kissed passionately.

Right as they notice him standing there, they stare at him unaffected and smile at each other and continue to kiss or snuggle each other. Mari closes the door, leaning against it as his hands covered his face and recalled Mangle and Toy Freddy being lovey dovey in the dining area.

"Oh my god..they're opposites are in love with eachother too?!" Mari exclaimed, shaking his head. "So..weird..!"

"Now now, you don't mean that do you Mari?" Golden suddenly says above him, floating. "After all, you are MY counterpart and you know what happened between us."

Mari's face suddenly grew bright, he shook his head in annoyance as Golden landed in front of him effortlessly. He grabbed Mari's chin, tlting it up to face him.

"You wanted to see me?" Golden grinned smugly, letting his chin go.

Mari blinked and shook his head, glaring up at him. "You put Bonnie and Bon Bon against each other in training."

"And? Isn't that what they're supposed to do?" Golden asked nonchalantly as he leaned back against the wall.

"No! Not them!" Mari raised his voice, curling his hands into fists. "I know what you're trying to do.."

"Oh? And what is that?" Golden turned his head suddenly to face him with narrowed eyes. "To show Bon Bon that you actually lied to her? Making this whole ridiculous charade of yours to come crumbling down?"

Mari fumed, steam practically poured out of his ears and nose, if he had any.

"You won't succeed in this." Mari tells him, keeping his glare. "We've already made so much progress..we aren't going back to serving humans..we capture criminals and turn them in for money. That's how it is now!"

"Maybe you should open your eyes and look around!" Golden snapped. "Everyone underneath you is suffering, hurting and afraid of you! That's not what makes a good leader!"

"If you can't be loved be feared." Mari says calmly, closing his eyes and turning away from the bear. "Fear lasts longer than love..you should know that by now."

Golden tenses, his stature weakening. There he goes bringing up their past again.

"You weren't the same puppet I fell in love with..I noticed how much you had changed, how you made others feel around you.." Golden says with a pained voice. "I didn't want to be with someone who was filled with hate."

Marionette still had his back turned, hiding the tears that began to prick at his eyes.

"But a part of me believes that somewhere in there..my Mar-Mar is still there, feeling sad and alone.." Golden continues, sighing. "That's why he put up a fake persona and acted tough..that's why he wanted to control everyone, because if you controlled everyone, no one would dare go against you."

Golden clenched his fists, shaking his head. "I can't believe I'm doing this..but if you really want power, I have a wager for you."

Marionette sniffled, wiping away his tears quickly and turned back to fave him.

"A w-wager?" He cleared his throat.

"Yes." Golden nods slowly.

"What kind of wager?" Marionette asked, interested.

"One where you have to take that bow tie off of Bon Bon and let her fix the broken relationships with her friends before they fall apart." Golden says with a glare. "I'm not letting anyone else turn into you."

Marionette gulps softly, gripping the button on his chest. That hurt.

"Fine..but if neither of us see any progress? Then what?" Marionette asks, walking back over to the animatronic.

"If neither of us see any progress within a week..you can put the bowtie back on her..and put one on me.." Golden answers with a deep sigh.

"Control you too..? Wow..I must be dreaming." Marionette teases, crossing his arms.

"Trust me..if it goes that way I'd rather not feel anything ever again." The bear says with a sad frown. "But..if I win this bet and she fixes her relationships..then this whole thing will be over! We'll go back to being simple animatronics for the children! And..you'll tell every one that you deceived them.."

Marionette blinks, surprised. His greed suddenly gets the better of him though and puts his hand out.

"Deal." Marionette says as Golden grabs and shakes his hand.

"Then..it is done." Golden vanishes.
