The Strings On A Balloon: a BB x Puppet Story

Chapter 12: Phantoms And Shadows

[G.Freddy/fredbear POV]

I wish I told the girls about the short pregnancies sooner, I got my butt beat by them when I didn't tell them sooner.

Mari: fredbear, I understand you were trying to not make things worse, but-

T.Chica: But you failed! Me an the others have NO idea about parenthood or even how things are gonna work out, and since YOU Didn't say things sooner, we have no time to prepare!

Mari: T.chica...calm down.
While you are somewhat correct I'm sure he has valuable advice for this situation.

BB: he better have! I don't want things going bad after all the hard work I've done to prevent things from going wrong!

If you could all be silent I have said advice.
Devise a plan. Study what you can before it's time, freaking out makes it worse for you and the children.

Mari: see? Sound advice!

T.Chica: well EXCUSE ME for being scared...fine we'll try.

BB: I'll help you both!

Good,now run along before things go bad.

And so, they did as I said.

But I couldn't help notice, ever since Springtrap came back, Manifestations started appearing...
I am too tired to look into it anyways, they'll figure it out I'm sure of it.

[W.Bonnie POV]
After hearing all he said, I realized that I too was seeing a strange Manifestation, a shadowy,fixed version of me has started appearing but disappearing when I looked at it.
Im going to try and find the thing and chat with it.

A glitchy laughter ensued immediately after I said that.

Shadow Bonnie: hee hee hee, looking for little old me?

Bravo for figuring it out shadow me,now I have a question-

S.bonnie: your going to say exactly "why are you here and what are you?"

How the hell did you know that?

S.Bonnie: hee hee hee, I knew that because I can read all your minds!
Now,about your question, i am here Because everyone was being Oh so worried and scared, that It was enough to pique my curiosity! And as for what I am? I can be anything, for I am a creation of dark thoughts.
If all of you are happy, then I'm goody goody gumdrops, but if everyone is worried...I am the one who influences them, to see if you can escape our own thoughts!

So your basically...all of our feelings made into a living being?

S.Bonnie: ugh, to put it in a boring way yes.
I am basically that, only you and the others can see me, but only if I want you too.
You have learned enough, there is more to find out after all!

Before I could react he was gone.
Guess it's good to know our feelings watch over us.

(Le time skip since idk how to transition)

[BB POV]
Golden Freddy warned me of strange Manifestations, but I ignored it since, well, Springtrap and him are strange enough that I didn't believe him.
That was until I walks into a room and heard a strange,dark laughter.

I turned around and I saw another me, but he looked burnt,decayed and dusty.

H-hey,i thought i was the only one of me made!

Phantom BB: you are the only one of you made dummy.
Why the hell would they make another you that looks like they fished it from a dumpster?

Fair point me....
Then who are you?

Phantom BB: I'm your phantom, I control all the dark thoughts in you,but I can't make them.

Wow, that's cool!

Phantom BB: hahaha, maybe.

Thing is only you and Mari can see me, and I can do lots of things to you.
And you probably noticed that i act the opposite of you.

Yeah, point is?
Phantom BB: Uh...never mind.
Just know that I'm not the only phantom here,and we won't leave anytime soon.

With that he laughed and vanished.

Things are getting less dull everyday now.

[Mari POV]
Phantoms?
I believe in them,but never saw one.
Then I heard knocking on the box and opened it...

???: Ring a ding ding! It's me!

It was a phantom..but a phantom me.
So, your one of these phantoms I keep hearing about?

P.Mari: why yes! I am your phantom!
And I control your dark thoughts, but you already knew that!

So, that means only I can see you?

P.Mari: no silly, balloon boy can see me too!
He even has his own phantom too the lucky guy!

Well, you sure are different than me.

P.mari: well, the controller of dark thoughts wouldn't look to friendly now would they?

Fair point, but this doesn't surprise me.
It was only then that I noticed...she had the same exact look I did,including the belly.

Wait, how are you like that? Your only my dark thoughts!

P.Mari: oh your so silly, we are affected by what happens to you!
Even the making of a child!

So my kid will have a phantom too...

P.Mari:oh but there is something you don't know!

Like what?

P.Mari: your not having only one child, your having twins!
So we will be visible to them and our kids will be visible to yours!
That's all you need to know for now, ta ta!

And she left

And I fainted.
