ｆｏｓｔｅｒ(sequel to ｆｏｎｎｉｅ）{Completed}

Six

Ennard listened quietly at Fredrick's door even though he should be in bed. Fredrick's soft singing drifted through the inch thick wood. Eventually he heard the door unlocked and the springs of Fredrick's bed creak followed by light snores not long after. After waiting a few minutes, he crept into the room and pulled a few hidden micro cameras from various spots.

Ennard hurried back to his room and opened his laptop, connecting the cameras and watching the footage.

The thing is, he wasn't being mean, he was trying to help. In his own way. Mangle had told him that Fredrick cuts and he wanted to prevent it. ((Autocorrect tried to take cuts and turn it into cute. Even it doesn't like self harm.)) He watched sadly as Fredrick carved fuck up into his upper arm and hide the knife away before leaving.

Being quick, Ennard slipped into Fredrick's bathroom from a small crawlspace connecting their rooms. He grabbed the knife from where it was hidden and returned to his room. He opened the window and flung it as far as he could.

"It won't stop you, but it will slow you down. Stop cutting." He whispered before crawling into bed himself.

"C'mon! The concert starts in a few minutes! Has anyone see Ennard and Lexi?" Funtime paced back and forth backstage at SL's most recent concert.

Bonnet shrugged from where she was twirling her drum sticks. "I think Lexi is picking up Ennard and a kid named Fredrick from Ennard's soccer game." She flicked her hot pink hair away from her face. Her twin brother Bon nodded as he attempted to tune his bass guitar.

"Dammit." He muttered as he turned the one string too high. ((That really sucks. Especially when you can't get it right.)) "Hey, Bonnet, throw me my tuner. I can't tune this damn thing by ear."

"When have you ever been able to?" Bonnet asked as she tossed the small electronic at her brother who caught it effortlessly.

"Screw off." Bon grumbled as he started turning the bass guitar again.

"Sorry we're late." Ennard jogged up to Funtime. "Lexi and I we're trying to convince Fredrick to actually come backstage with us."

"Where is he?" Funtime asked.

"Lexi is trying to drag him in. She actually seems to like him. Kinda." Ennard chuckled.

"That's good. Oh hi Fredrick! Lexi, your keyboard is already set up. We're on in ten." Funtime smiled and waved.

"Am I even allowed back here?" Fredrick sighed.

"Well, Ennard and Levi brought you back and we don't really question Lexi so you're okay." Funtime grinned and draped his arm across the other boy's shoulders. "But hey, you get the best seat."

"Funtime, its time to get out on stage. Curtain goes up soon." Ennard got the white and pink haired boy's attention.

"M'kay. See you after the show." Funtime saluted. Ennard shook his head as he watched Funtime jogged onstage with his guitar on his back.

"Uncle Bonbon!" Ennard ran over to a blue haired man. He hugged him tightly. Bonbon laughed.

"How have you been Enny?" Fred walked up beside his husband and sat his hat on the young boy's head. "Wow you've grown so much."

"Last time you saw me was before you went on tour so yeah." Ennard playfully punched his uncle. "Oh! Fredrick! Come here!" He waved to the snowy haired boy who was nervously scratching his arm. "Dad and Papa signed up for foster care."

"Yeah, I think Bonnie mentioned it last time he called." Bonbon smiled at Fredrick. "I'm guessing you're the new addition to the family?"

"Um, aren't you two the main singers in Toys?" Fredrick's eyes widened.

"Yeah. You know us?" Fred asked, leaning his elbow on Bonbon's shoulder.

Fredrick pulled out his phone, practically fanboying over them and showed them his playlist. "I have heard every one of your songs. And I have your emblem as my background." His violet eyes we're wide with excitement.

"Well then, its always nice to meet a fan." Bonbon smirked and held out his fist for a fist bump which Fredrick awkwardly returned. It wasn't hard to tell why. Bonbon and Fred were his idols.

"We'll talk more later. We need to catch up with Foxy and Bonnie anyways. SL is starting." Fred laughed good naturedly at Fredrick's nervousness.

~•~•~•~

Onstage the curtain rose and the cheers from the crowd we're almost deafening as SL started to play.

((Music, now))

A paper crown, and a heart made of glass
A tattered gown, and her kingdom of ash
She walks alone, she can never look back
The story of a queen whose castle has fallen to the sea

She'll make it out, but she's never the same
She's looking down, at the scars that remain
But you hold your ground, though your kingdoms in flames
Cause it's the story of a queen whose castle has fallen to the sea
Knowing there's no one who will be a king that will come and save his queen

When all she needs, when all she wants, when all she finds
When all she is, and ever was, is compromised
Cause there's no one to love her
When you build your walls too high
And there's no one to love you when you build your walls too high

She's looking out, from the war that's inside
She's screaming out, cause no one survived
But when you're all alone, you wait and you hide
Cause it's the story of a queen whose castle has fallen to the sea
Knowing, there's no one who will be a king who will come and save his queen

When all she needs, when all she wants, when all she finds
When all she is, and ever was, is compromised
Cause there's no one to love her
When you built your walls too high
And there's no one to love you when you build your walls too high

There's no one, who is strong enough, to save your love
There's no fairytale
There's no fairytale

When all she needs, when all she wants, when all she finds
When all she is, and ever was, is compromised
Cause there's no one to love her
When you build your walls too high
And there's no one to love you when you trap yourself inside.

After a few more songs the members of SL walked offstage. Funtime was laughing at a joke Bonnet had made to him as the walked.

"Bonbon! Fred!" The golden eyed boy jogged up to the couple. "Longtime no see."

"Hey Fox." Fred waved. "Finally get signed?"

"Nah. Still just local. We've got offers but I'm waiting until we all graduate to take up them up. I've got two years yet, the twins have three and En has four. Since he skipped two grades." Funtime shrugged and tussled Ennard's hair. "I mean, we can't have SL without our Mixer." Ennard rolled his eyes.  "Anyway. I need to go call Foxy to see if I can crash there for the night. My damn cousin is staying over and he's a fucking alcoholic." He pulled out his phone and walked away.

"Hey, where did Fredrick go?" Ennard asked, looking around.

"Found him." Lexi sighed and lifted an unconscious Fredrick across her shoulders. "He fainted. Let's go."
