Chapter 25: My Ball of Happiness

Glamrock Freddy's P.O.V:

I walked a little with Lewis, and when we were far enough away from Bonnie, I asked, "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" "So. . .yea, the higherups wanted to have a meeting with you." "A meeting? Did something happen?" "I mean. . .you know. . .about Bonnie." ". . .They are not going to revoke the decision." "I know, I'm on your side, Freddy. They just want to talk to you directly." ". . .Fine. I apologize, Lewis." "It's okay, and I'll be there to back you up, so don't worry." "That will be helpful, but I wonder what kind of excuses they have this time." "I wonder too." "Bonnie is joining the band, and nothing will stop that." We soon walk back to Bonnie, but we find him playing with the Pat-Pats. . . "He's so. . .precious." "You should tell him that." I walked up to Bonnie, to hug him & tell him that~. After, Bonnie & I part ways, Bonnie went to babysit Gregory for me, and I had to talk to the higherups. Thinking of talking with the higherups, I feel my system heating up. . .in anger.

"So. . .Freddy, good to see you." "I am alright, and Lewis informed me that you all wanted to discuss something with me." "Yes, and. . .let us get straight to the point. . .why the f*** did you do what you did at the event!?" "Language, sir. I have already explained about that." "Freddy, we told you that we weren't ready to accept a new bandmate! When you said there's gonna be a special announcement, it was supposed to be Foxy the Pirate as the guest!" "WE MADE A PROMISE. If we have a unanimous answer to accepting Bonnie in the band, he can join, and Bonnie earned Chica, Roxy, & Monty's trust that they all accepted him. I simply made you all KEEP THE PROMISE." "We didn't make any promise! It was like a deal more likely!" "Deal is a form of a promise, we fulfilled our part, and you guys made an excuse to not fill in your part of the promise, so I simply forced you guys to. A promise, even a child knows how to keep a promise." I calmly told them, but I can feel myself at the edge. . . "Calm down, Freddy." Lewis whispers to me. "Okay, we get that you're mad, BUT we still needed time to make the spot! We barely started constructing his green room, but the stage & the music, we already told you that we have enough string instrument players." "Yes, but that should not be a problem." "Freddy, think about the BALANCE in the band." "The balance is just right with five of us." "Ugh, Freddy what happened to you? You used to be. . ." "An obedient robot." I crossed my arms. ". . .UNDERSTANDING, that's what we tried to say." "I have listened to you guys. I stepped down from being the guitarist, because you guys refused to fix Chica's vocal function." "Freddy-" "I ran around the city to find a replacement for Foxy when he quit the band, because you guys did not have TIME for it." "Okay that's-" "I had to do management before you guys FINALLY hired Lewis." "Freddy. . ." "Made me carry the company name, then with Roxy, you all made me investigate what was wrong with her." "Enough!" I slammed my hands on the meeting table, "I DID EVERYTHING YOU GUYS WANTED ME TO, SO WHY CAN YOU GUYS NOT DO WHAT I WANT FOR THIS ONE TIME!?" "Oh sugar! Freddy, calm down!" Lewis says, and holds my arm. "Bonnie is talented. . .he is very kind, perfect for the family friendly brand. . .at the event, it was the proof that Bonnie is a must for the band. . ." "Freddy, I agree with you. I think Bonnie is perfect in the band. So, answer the question, sirs. . .what is the reason you guys have for delaying the inevitable?" Lewis asks. The higherups glanced at each other. . .then one speaks up, "It's true that we aren't ready. We don't even know his position yet. We are concerned about the. . .reputation." "About the incident that happened years ago? That a man in a robotic rabbit suit kidnapped, & murdered children?" says Lewis. "That is irrelevant." I said.

As the meeting continues, I have grown to be more irritated by their excuses. We decided to take a break from it, we will talk again later, so I cannot leave the studio. I hope Bonnie & Gregory are okay. Lewis & I went to my green room to have a drink & rest. "Jeez, the higherups are really stubborn sometimes." says Lewis, and I hand him a drink. "I agree with you, however, is it okay for you to really-" "Bad talking about them isn't gonna do anything to me. I don't see them as my bosses anymore. I see YOU as my boss. You have better reasons for what you do or want to do. Having Bonnie in the band will definitely improve the music, performances, and expand business in a way, so I don't get why they're being so stubborn. . .that one incident can't hang around for centuries." I sat down on the couch, next to Lewis, as he speaks, "The incident. . .it must have been terrifying for the parents of the victims. . .but because of that, judging all rabbit animatronics is not right." "I will do anything for Bonnie." "You love him, eh~?" Thinking about Bonnie, I felt warmth, his voice, his smile, his energy. . .everything about him. . . "Yes, I do~." Lewis & I talked about Bonnie, his official debut plans. Suddenly, I received a phone call from an unknown number. "I apologize, Lewis. I have an unknown number calling me." "Unknown? Is it okay to pick up?" "It will be alright."

I answered the call, "[Hello, this is Freddy Fazbear.]" "[Hey Freddy.]" I heard Bonnie's voice. "[Bonnie! I am glad to hear you. Is everything alright?]" "[Um. . .yea, I just. . .well, I'm at a store right now, and. . .got into a little trouble.]" "[Oh no, are you okay? What happened?]" Bonnie explains to me about being mistaken as a kidnapper. . . "[So I'm in the backroom with Gregory, and the employee, calling you. Company policy or something, I think.]" "[. . .I understand the situation. . .please let me TALK to them.]" "[Okay, and um. . .I'm sorry, Freddy.]" "[There is nothing you should apologize for, you are not at fault here.]" "[Okay, I'll hand the phone to the employee.]"

After a few second, another voice came, "[Hello, are you the boy's father?]" "[Yes, I am.]" "[So yes, there was a little issue with your son & the babysitter.]" "[It is clearly a misunderstanding.]" "[Yea, I um. . .understand, but this is company policy, and we had to let you know.]" "[. . .I understand your position, sir. Please let them go, they are just customers, and they are FINE together. NO ONE IS KIDNAPPING ANYONE.]" "[Y-Yes, sir, but are you able to come pick them up?]" "[. . .I apologize, my system is glitching. Shall I repeat what I just said? LET THEM GO. Gregory is in good hands with him, I trust him.]" "[I-It's company policy, and-]" "[Is the couple, who accused Bonnie of kidnapping my son, there?]" "[No, they-]" "[I sense some discrimination here. From what I heard, THEY caused the commotion, and you only kept Bonnie & Gregory in the store, while letting the ones, who SHOULD be held responsible, go. . .let's keep this FAIR. Let them go, and if you or the manager wants to talk about it, you have my number, and the name is Freddy Fazbear, by the way.]" "[. . .Okay, w-we'll let them go, Mr. F-Fazbear.]" "[That is glad to hear, thank you.]" Soon, Bonnie's voice comes, "[Freddy, thanks, and sorry about it.]" "[It is okay, Bonnie.]" "[. . .Are you mad?]" "[Not at you. Thank you for looking after Gregory, Bonnie.]" "[You're welcome, and good luck with work, superstar.]" "[Thank you, my bunny star~.]" "[F-Freddy~.]" I hear Bonnie's giggle, such a cute giggle.

After we hang up, "I apologize, Lewis." "I'm fine, but um, you should apologize to the pen you just broke." I looked down at my hand, then saw that I had squished the pen in my hand. "Oh, I apologize." "You want me to run a scan on you? Your power level might be acting up." "It is okay, but my emotional level seems to be high today." "Ah, I get ya."

Lewis & I had time before another meeting, so we parted ways & meet up again later. I walked around the studio to relax a little, calming myself before another heated 'discussion' with the higherups. Soon, I saw Roxy, and walked up to her. "Hello Roxy." I greeted her, and she turned to me, "Hey Freddy, what are you doing here?" "I was giving Bonnie a tour of the studio, however, we had to part ways, because the higherups wanted to talk to me." "Right, 'talk', I bet they had some excuses to make. Judging how they reacted to the event's special announcement." "Yes, but everything will be resolved. They will not revoke this decision." "You're right. I want Bonnie to join the band, and I can tell that he's gonna be a great help. Humans are not as smart as us." "Haha, some humans are smart, like Gregory. He is a bright, intelligent child." "How long did you hold back the urge to brag about your son?" "Hmm, let me think. . ." "Never mind, but I agree, kids are smarter, like Cassie." "She is a very kind child, a good friend to Gregory." "She's the best fan I ever had. Anyway, you're done with the 'talk'?" "Oh, there is going to be one more, unfortunately. Right now, I am taking a break." "Huh. . .well, worst case scenario, what are you gonna do if they manage to revoke it or something?" ". . .I may quit, and start a new band, but I will not let them revoke it. Bonnie will join, and no one is going to stop that, I will personally make sure." "Sounds threatening." "Oh, I did not mean it like that." "Haha, I think you should be more threatening in a way. Shows people to NOT mess with you. Anyway, if you DO quit, then count me in." ". . .You mean, you will quit with me?" "Yea, I'd follow you." "Roxy. . ." "D-Don't get me wrong, I just don't like the higherups, they have a record of being messed up." "I understand, and thank you. You are a great friend." "And so are you, Freddy. Now, I need to catch up with some performance for New Year. I'll be at the studio till midnight probably, just in case you need me." "Thank you, Roxy." Roxy smiled, and walks to her green room.

I felt reassured talking to Roxy, she has experienced worse with the higherups' decision before. . .they crushed her dream, but I am partly at fault for creating the audition. . .though, Roxy did forgive me, she is a great friend. I decided to get some fresh air, however, I saw Chica & Monty together, and decided to talk to them. Chica noticed me, and waves her hand, "Freddy~!!!" I wave back, walking up to them, "Hello Chica, Monty." "Hi~! What are you doing here? I thought today was like a day off for us." says Chica. "It is, but I wanted to give Bonnie a tour." I replied. "He's here?" Monty asked. "No, he left, we had to cut the tour short, because of the higherups wanting to talk to me." "Sounds rough." Monty says, and Chica says, "Aww! You should've invited me! I wanted to give Bonnie a tour too!" "Haha, I apologize. Bonnie did not receive a full tour, so next time, you can give him a tour with me." "Yes~!" Chica cheers. "Are you done talking? We have practice to do." Monty says, crossing his arms. "Oh, I am sorry, Monty. But you two were going to practice?" "Yup, since Christmas is over & New Year is coming, I wanted to challenge myself with a new music! To start off the new year! I invited Monty for help, plus, I like our duet. It'll be cool to play a duet on new year!" Chica says excitedly that her feathers were fluffing up a bit with excitement. "Aww~, that sounds lovely~. I will look forward for the duet." "Thanks, Freddy~." Chica giggles. "C-Come on, Chica, we should get started." "You're right! Oh, what are you going to do, Freddy?" "I will have some fresh air outside, then prepare myself for the 2nd meeting." "Okay, and you can come see our practice if you want, we'll be here for. . .I'm not sure how long, but late, I think?" "Maybe midnight." Monty replies. "I will keep that in mind, thank you, and good luck~." "Good luck to you too, Freddy~!" We parted ways, and I went outside for fresh air.

Time flies by, another meeting, it honestly felt like a waste of time. . .I could be spending time with Bonnie & Gregory right now. . . After a headache of meeting, the higherups did figure out that this is inevitable, and decided to prepare Bonnie's debut, which I am glad, however, something was off with the boss. As expected, the boss, top of the higherups, wanted to talk to me, alone. Lewis whispered to me to keep my emotion under control, he was worried about me. I reassured Lewis, and everyone else exited the room. ". . .Sir, what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked. ". . .Freddy, we can see & understand that you're passionate about this. . .Bonnie, rabbit to join." "Of course I am." ". . .But I need you to understand something. . .about reputation. Reputation is everything for a business like ours." "I have stated before, that is irrelevant to Bonnie. He has a good reputation, his current workplace, Bunny Bowl, the customers are satisfied with his service, and the boss, M.X.E.S can attest to that. There is nothing to worry about." ". . .Bunnies. . ." Something clicked my mind when I heard him mumble that. "Excuse me, sir?" "You said the reputation is irrelevant. . ." "Yes, because there should be nothing harming the reputation, just because Bonnie joins."

"IS IT?" the boss says. "What do you mean, sir?" I asked. "It's not out public much. . .but there have been some reports that few kids went missing. . .around the time. . .after the event." "Your point is?" ". . .Coincidentally, those kids. . .are the ones at the event. . .with the rabbit you want us to accept." I grabbed the edge of the table, gripping it tight, my emotional level increasing. "Are you accusing Bonnie of kidnapping those kids?" I asked. ". . .It's just a coincidence. . .isn't it?" "Are you saying that because of mere coincidence? Or because Bonnie is a RABBIT animatronic?" He remained silent, then I broke the edge of the table I was gripping, making a big crack noise. "I am done with these discriminations. I am sorry for the children who went missing, but that does not mean YOU have an excuse to not fill your part." Calm down, Freddy. . .no, I shall not! "I do actually. One of them was. . .my kid." My nonexistent heart dropped for a second. . . ". . .Then what are you doing HERE!? You should be looking for your child!" "The police are working on it. I have. . .work." . . .I see clearly now. . . I walked up to him. . .then grabbed his necktie. "If I were you, I'd be running all over the city to find my child. . .forget work. . .children are more important, isn't that right?" ". . .Freddy, right now, we're not here to talk feelings nor personal matters. . ." ". . .We are done talking, and I can clearly see now. . .that I would NEVER want to be a father like you." I let go of his necktie, and walked to the door. "We're not done-" I cut him off, "No, we are done. If you have another excuse to say, keep it for next time. . .IF there is one." "Freddy, what happened to you!? You were never like this! That rabbit did something to you! It's clear as day! That rabbit joining the band would damage the reputation, and who knows if history repeats itself again!? We can't have him, Freddy!" ". . .Then you shall have NONE of us. If you cannot see the difference and just judge that all rabbit animatronics are evil, murderers. . .then you do not deserve anything. . .this company doesn't deserve anything. We are not made to be puppets that humans can control & use till we break. . .Bonnie is a good animatronic. . .and I can guarantee, no one is better than him. You have my condolences for your missing child. . ." I walked out, I ran my cooling function, since my system was overheating from anger. I cannot believe what I just heard. . .how can a father be at work when their child is missing!? Gregory. . .if he went missing. . .I'd do anything to find him. Now, the words Bonnie have stated before. . .has sunk deep in my soul. . . 'Rabbit animatronics have a bad reputation, and humans are afraid of them.' . . .Bonnie. . .you suffered under these discriminations. . .for how long? Bonnie. . .you will change the world. . .we will. . .I won't let anyone judge you, just because you are a rabbit. . .

It was already night, I was in my green room, I have to go home. Before that, I messaged Lewis for assistance. I checked the time, "Shoot. . .I might not make it to Gregory's bedtime. . .I hope he is doing well with Bonnie." Suddenly, a knock comes, and I said, "Come in." The door opened, and a familiar voice comes, "Hey Fazy~, how ya doin?" I turned to the door, and saw Foxy. "Foxy! I am. . .not quite well, but what brings you here? And how?" I asked. "Sorry to hear that, Fazy. I was here to bring milady some stuff she needed. And I have my ways, Fazy." "I see, well, good evening, Foxy." "Ya alright? Did something happen?" ". . .Foxy, can I ask you some questions?" "Sure, lay it on me." ". . .About Bonnie, how long. . .has this. . .discrimination occurred for?" ". . .You mean the whole, 'rabbit animatronics are bad & evil' thing?" "Yes." ". . .Since the very beginning." "'Beginning'?" ". . .It happened a long time ago, the incident that terrorized many parents. As far as I remember, since Bonnie & I stepped into the city. . .humans were not nice. . .to Bonnie especially." ". . .I just understood how much pain Bonnie must have felt. . ." ". . .Don't feel bad, Fazy. Sure, it was painful to both of us, but Bonnie is stronger than you think, Fazy. He's not a damsel in distress." "Foxy. . .am I. . .really worthy to be Bonnie's boyfriend?" ". . .Fazy! How dare you think something like that! There's no such thing as worthy or not, if the feeling is real, then that's what matters. Come on, Fazy, don't be so gloomy. I brought something to cheer ya up." "What is it?" I asked, then Foxy smiles, and pulled out something from his coat. . .a. . .blue. . .bunny plushie. . .

"Is that. . ." "Yup, a brand new, prototype plushie of Bonnie! Made by me~, I used The Glamrocks' plushies as an example to make it. So, what do you think? Cute, eh~?" The plushie looks just like Bonnie, but small & soft. "Foxy. . .he is beautiful~." "Glad ya think so. I was gonna submit this as an example for official merch. Yar manager allowed me, so tada~, but since you need some cheering up, I'll give it to ya. Ya can maybe give to Gregory if ya want." Foxy handed me the plushie, I held it gently in my hand. ". . .Foxy, thank you so much. This is amazing! I am sure Gregory will love it, and I love it already!" "Excelente~! Now, I gotta go see Roxy, and Fazy. . .remember. . .I'm your friend too. Ya can talk to me if ya need. I don't want to. . .leave everything on your shoulders again." "Foxy. . .thank you." Foxy walks up to me, then hugs me, "Te amo, amigo." I hugged him back, and I felt better.

I decided to tell everyone goodnight, and go home. Foxy & I walked to Roxy's green room. "Hello, milady, you have a friend here." Foxy says, and Roxy replied, "I can see that~. Hey Freddy." "Good evening, Roxy." I greeted her. "You need something from me?" she asks. "I just wanted to say goodnight." "Oh Freddy, you are polite as ever. How did the meeting go?" "Not too well, but if there is another, I WILL SETTLE IT." "Call me when you need back up, Freddy." "Thank you, Roxy." "Count me in too, Fazy, but what's this meeting?" Foxy asks, and I fill him & Roxy on details. "Motherf*****!" Foxy & Roxy synced. "Language, please." "What the f***!? Freddy, if you're really down to quit, you have my word!" Roxy says. "I knew this company was bad news, Fazy. I think it is the right call to quit, and I'll support you all, I have connections." Foxy says. "Thank you, Roxy, Foxy. I still need to settle things, then I will have my answer, and. . .I feel reassured to know you two are there for me, & Bonnie." "Of course, Fazy. I'm never leaving you behind again." Foxy says. "We're your friends, Freddy. Don't hold back like before." Roxy says. "Thank you, really."

I talked with Roxy & Foxy for a little more, then we shared our goodnights, and I head to Chica's green room, I knocked on the door, "Chica, it is me, Freddy." "Come in~!" I heard Chica, and I entered her green room. Chica was looking at the music sheets on the table, while tuning her guitar on the couch. "Hey Freddy, sorry, but practice is over." She replies. "It is okay, I just wanted to tell you & Monty goodnight, and. . .where is Monty?" "He had an urgent matter, so he left early." "I see, and how was the practice?" "Going smooth already! A good start! Monty is really talented. I'm lucky to have him as my duet partner." "I see, and well, you guys might have a trio performance once Bonnie joins." "I was thinking about that~! It'll be amazing~! Or like, we have different duets! Me & Monty, Me & Bonnie, and Bonnie & Monty~! It'll be great~! I cannot wait for it~!" "I am glad you are excited. There has been a little clash about that with the higherups." "Oh no, are you okay? Did they upset you? They tend to do that. . ." "I am okay, it's just. . .the boss is against Bonnie joining, and his reason is. . .just not right." "You could swear if you want, Freddy." "I-I rather not. And. . .Chica. . .in the worst case scenario. . .I may quit the band." "W-What!?" "I am not going to, but might, if things go south. If I quit. . .what will you do? Lead the rest of the ba-" "I'd follow you, of course!" "R-Really?" "Yes! Sure, I'll lose. . .all this, but. . .friends are irreplaceable, especially you, Freddy. You've been there during the toughest time. . .and I'll never forget you being there for me. You are my best friend." "Chica. . .thank you, I. . .I do not know if I deserve all tha-" "You deserve it, Freddy!" Chica hugs me, and I hug her back. "We're besties!" "Chica. . .yes, we are~." "A-Anyway, I just wanted to say goodnight." "Aww~, thanks, and goodnight to you as well~." We giggled, and parted.

After, I decided to go home, then a call from Bonnie & Gregory came. I was very glad to hear them, they are the sweetest~. I hope we can all spend time together, I am sure we can arrange that. I must hurry home, but safety first. I got in my car, and started driving home, while driving home, Bonnie called me again. It was my first time hearing about Gregory having a fear of rabbits. I hope Bonnie is okay, he has been in pain for too long. . .I want to hold him, secure & reassure him that everything will be better. . .and I will be there for him, no matter what. Bonnie. . .I must tell you. . .how much I love you.

Took a little while, but I made it home safety, however. . .there were police cars. . .at MY HOUSE. I rushed up to the officers, "Officers! Did something happen!? This is my home!" "Oh, you're living here? There was a call about a break in." "'Break in'? Where is my son? And my boyfriend? They should be together!" "No one was inside, but one animatronic." "Where is he!?" The officers led me to an engineering car, there I saw. . . "Eclipse?" An animatronic looking like Eclipse was laying unconscious. "Is this your boyfriend?" "No, he is my coworker. My boyfriend is a rabbit animatronic, he was with my son. But why is he here?" I asked. "We suspect that he is the one who broke in." "He did? But. . .why? . . .Bonnie! Gregory! A-Are you sure you looked all over the house!?" "Yes, we did, no signs of any other animatronics." I immediately tried to text Bonnie, however, my messages did not go through. I was starting to panic. . . Bonnie. . .Gregory. . . I ran inside the house, pushing aside officers who tried to stop me. "BONNIE! GREGORY! WHERE ARE YOU!?" I looked all over for them. . . No. . .no, no, no, no, no, no. . .NO!

"It's not out public much. . .but there have been some reports that few kids went missing. . ." ". . .Coincidentally, those kids. . .are the ones at the event. . .with the rabbit you want us to accept." ". . .That rabbit joining the band would damage the reputation, and who knows if history repeats itself again!?"

No. . .someone. . .kidnapped BOTH of them. . .Gregory. . .Bonnie. . .please. . . "GREGORY! BONNIE! PLEASE COME OUT IF YOU'RE IN HERE! Please. . .don't. . .don't take my ball of happiness away. . ." I fell to my knees. . .in Gregory's room. . .broken window. . .glass shattered on the floor. . .missing laser gun. . . Who. . .WHO TOOK THEM AWAY FROM ME!? I clenched my fists. . .feeling anger building up. . . Suddenly, a call came, and I immediately answered, "[BONNIE!?]" "[Yarg! Don't yell in a sudden, Fazy. It's me, Foxy-]" Foxy. . . "[FOXY! BONNIE & GREGORY WENT MISSING! I CANNOT CONTACT THEM!]" Please. . .help. . . "[WHAT? Freddy, what happened!?]" "[I-I cannot think alone, I need help. . .someone broke in the house, and. . .there's no sign of the both of them! I do not know why, but Eclipse is here, and-]" "[FREDDY, GET BACK TO THE STUDIO IMMEIDATELY. BRING ECLIPSE TOO.]"
