【 What a pleasant surprise 】

Chapter 19 | Outlook on life

Original dimension

"Boop!"

Happy Frog laughed at an irritated Freddy. "Stop touching my nose, Happy Frog.." He growled. "What? It's fun! And it makes noises!" She laughed.

He groaned, but didn't make a move. He didn't want to damage her.

"Please?" He asked. Happy Frog shook her head, and grinned. "Nope!"

"Hey." Freddy looked over, and Lefty smiled at him. "Oh. Hey." He replied. The two stared at each other for a while, before Lefty cleared his throat and took out some papers. He looked at Happy Frog, and handed them to Freddy.

"What's this?" Freddy asked, looking down. Lefty bit his lip, and mouthed, "Bryan"

Of course, Happy Frog saw it, but stayed quiet. Whys she always the one to find out scary secrets?

"Oh-" Freddy said. He handed back the papers, and Lefty gave an offended and confused look. "Just- put them in your stage, I'll read them later..." He said.

Lefty sighed but nodded, walking off.

"What was that about?.." Happy Frog finally asked. Freddy sighed. "It's-"

"Freddy!"

Freddy's ears perked up, and he looked over. "Oh, hello Baby. What brings you here?" He asked. Circus Baby looked down, scratching her head nervously.

"Uhh. I found something."

"Something?" Freddy asked, raising an eyebrow.

Baby sighed, looking up at him, and took his hand. "Just- come on." She said. Happy Frog whined, but sighed walking away.

"A notebook? It's probably one of Brya-" Freddy picked it up, and muttered something before saying, "Interesting."

"...Yeah." Baby replied, suspicious. "Why's it here though? Wouldn't he take it home with him?" Freddy flattened his ears, and looked over. "Baby, I need to tell you something."

Baby tilted her head with raised eyebrows, looking up innocently. Freddy sighed, and signaled her to sit down on the stage with him.

Making sure no one was around, he turned to Baby. "We haven't told anyone yet.. So please be quiet about this." Baby frowned. "We?" She asked. Freddy sighed, and nodded. "Yes, we. Me and Lefty. We have figured out that our Bryan... Is in fact not our Bryan."

Baby seemed to shrink, and she leaned in. "..Like evil Bryan?" She asked. Freddy shook his head, but looked over. "Someone similar, but no."

"Oh."

"Yeah.." Freddy said awkwardly. "We aren't sure what to do, but-" Baby stopped him. "I might have an idea. Not to get rid of him, but to see what's up."

Freddy raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Explain."

Baby leaned in, and cleared her throat. "Okay, okay. I don't know if this is only in books or movies," She looked at you. "but we could possibly get both of the Bryan's in the portal at the same time. Possibly, we could bump into them during a game. Or, they'd switch back."

Freddy hummed a bit, looking down flattening his ears. "It's smart.." He said. "But, how will we get both of them in there at the same time? We don't know when or if the others will."

Baby looked at him, and shrugged, making Freddy loose hope. But then, she said, "We'll have to hope it's right timing, hm?"
