My Dear Friend, Bonnie

Chapter 2: The Birthday Party

Stella and her mother walked through the doors of the pizzeria. The scent of cheese and tomato sauce filled the air. She held her Bonnie plush close to her side, hoping Bonnie would notice. "Oh, hey Stella," said Luna's voice. Stella turned to her right to see Luna walking over to her. "Hi," she said wryly. "Come over to the table. The others are waiting for me." Stella nodded and followed Luna. She looked back to see her mother and the same man from the phone talking to each other.

"Guys, this is Stella," Luna said. "Stella, these are my friends." Stella waved at the other boys and girls and looked down at her black hoodie with a picture of Bonnie on it. "Hello boys and girls," said an animatronic voice. Stella turned around to see Freddy talking to her and the others. "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. My name is Freddy. And these are my friends Chica the chicken, Bonnie the bunny, and Foxy the Pirate fox. You'll enjoy a wide selection of games and activities here at Freddy's! But the main attraction is our tasty pizza. The little ones just love our pizza!" A grin crossed Stella's face as Bonnie looked at her.

"And if you're lucky enough," continued Freddy. "You'll be able to sing along with the band!" That would be nice, Stella thought. She looked at Bonnie's flopping ears. She thought it was adorable how he did that. "I wonder if they'll choose me! The birthday girl!" Luna said. I shrugged, not knowing.

"Now who is our birthday child today?" Chica asked. Luna raised her hand, a triumphant smile crossing her face. "Well," said Bonnie. "A happy birthday to you missy!" Stella giggled at a memory she remembered when it was her birthday and she had came here. "We got ourselves a little birthday girl that I could just eat up!" Chica had said. "Yeah! A carrot!" Bonnie had giggled. Stella smiled and looked over at Luna.

1 Hour Later...
(Stella POV)

I had just finished up my pizza. I was having a really good time here at Freddy's. I didn't think it could get any better. I was watching Bonnie sing with Chica and Freddy. I found him as the most adorable bunny in the world even though he was an animatronic. Bonnie caught me looking at him and gave me a sweet smile. I looked away quickly, my cheeks turning red.

"Ooh!" said one of Luna's friends. She had coffee colored skin, long, dark brown hair and a brown eye color so dark it looked like black. "Someone has a little crush on Bonnie!" She elbowed me in a teasing way. She smirked and walked over to Luna. She started whispering to her and laughing. I looked away, not knowing what to think. They're probably just talking about school or something like that, I thought. Luna came up to me with a evil smile. "We'll be right back, Stella," she said. I nodded and looked over at Bonnie again.

Just the thought of hugging him made me want to fall over and pass out. I sat down at the table, my head in the clouds. Luna and her other friends were suddenly right in front of me with big grins. "Uh, hey guys?" I tried. One of Luna's friends dragged me by the arm and threw me into another room where only employees were allowed. "Do you know why they call this Parts and Service?" Luna asked hastily. I shook my head. "Because they beat things up like you here and use them. Now, onto the fun part. Beat her up and let's see how funny it'll be."

I felt like things were going downhill. Luna's friends surrounded me. I backed up to the farthest corner of the room, trying to forfeit. The coffee skin colored girl yanked me up and punched me in the eye, giving me a black eye. "Oh, that's gotta hurt," Luna said teasingly. I started crying, feeling helpless. One of Luna's other friends punched me. All of Luna's friends surrounded me, pushing and punching and pulling. Scraping and scratching and scaring. I fell to the ground, covered in bruises, bangs and deep cuts. Then they left, leaving me in the cold, dark room.

12 A.M.
(Bonnie POV)

I put my guitar down and got off the stage. I was about to walk into Parts and Service until I heard crying. It sounded like a girl crying. I peeked through the crack of the door, finding a girl curled up in a ball and crying. I opened the door more, letting the girl see me. She snuffled and looked at me with fear and grief in her eyes.

It was the girl from earlier today. The girl who wouldn't stop looking at me with a huge smile. I walked up to her and lend her my hand. She slowly took it. I lifted her up into my arms, her waist near mine. She blushed a little and looked at the ground. I walked over to the table and pushed the Endoskeleton onto the ground and set the girl on the table. We looked at each other for a moment. Her beautiful violet eyes made me just not want to stop looking at her. She suddenly started hugging me.

I fell for the hug. We stayed in the hug for a few minutes and then she finally let go of me. "Are you ok?" I asked. "Do I look ok?" she sniffed. I saw she had bruises all over her body and she had a black eye. "No." I sat next to her on the table. She laid her head against my shoulder and sighed. I put my arm around her and looked at the wall. "What's your name?" I asked her. "Stella," she replied. She took out a plush of me out of her hoodie.

"I saw you earlier today with that plush," I stated. Stella smiled and looked at the floor. "Why do you seem so shy?" She looked at my feet then up at me. "Eh, no reason," she said. She started blushing and looked back at the floor. "Alright..." I trailed off.

We sat in Parts and Service for a few more minutes. I got bored so I decided to massage Stella's shoulders. Her face went red as she looked at me. "What?" I asked her, confused. She looked at the plushie she was hugging. Before she was able to answer, a phone started ringing. Stella took a purple phone out of her pocket to read who was calling her. "Hello?" she answered it. "Stella? Sweetheart? Where are you?" I heard a voice ask. "Oh, hey mom," Stella replied nervously. "I'm at Freddy's. Why?" I heard Stella's mother sigh. "Honey, it's 12:12. You shouldn't be there in the middle of the night." Stella's eyes went wide. "It's what time?" she asked. "It's 12:12." Stella rubbed her cheek. "I didn't know that. Sorry."

Stella and her mother chatted for a couple more minutes. She finally hung up and sighed. "So?" I asked. "My mom is gonna come at 6AM. I don't know why she is coming so late," Stella replied. I looked at the Chica head that sat on the shelf. "Well, this place doesn't open up until 6 so I kinda understand why your mother is coming at that time." I looked back at Stella and smiled at her. She rested her head on my shoulder and hugged my arm. I pulled my arm away and gave her a real hug.

"I don't know what it is with you and the hugs," I sighed. "But you really like them." Stella giggled and looked at her plushie. "You're my favorite character," she said. "Because your a bunny and I like the color purple." I flopped my ears in embarrassment and looked at the wall. "Not that many kids like me," I managed to say. "But I guess I just met one who does."
