Chapter 9: Past & Present, Music Express

Glamrock Bonnie's P.O.V:


Flashback:

"We can't accept you." "Why is that? I meet all the requirements. Why drop me early? Isn't there more steps to the audition?" I asked the judges of the audition for Fazbear Entertainment. ". . .You are aware what you are & represent, aren't you?" "What do you. . .mean exactly?" ". . .You're a rabbit. An animatronic that terrorized many parents." "But that's not-" "We're not gonna risk having a rabbit animatronic in the band that will taint it!" It wasn't fair. . .but deep inside, I knew this was going to happen. Few years ago, I took an audition at Fazbear Entertainment when they were looking for musicians to be in their band. It was my dream, to stand on a big stage, perform & play music for people around the world. Monty & I took the audition. . .however, I was dropped immediately before any procedure, it didn't make sense, so I confronted them. I was told I had talent, and I always tried my best to deliver music to people, people liked my music & performance. I had confidence too. . .however. . .because I'm a RABBIT animatronic. . .I wasn't able to be in a band. Just that ONE reason. . .I have no relation of what happened years ago, but people doesn't care. Thinking we're all the same. . .all rabbit animatronics are dangerous. . .

"Bonnie, Bonnie! Look! I got accepted!" Monty says with excitement, I turned to him, and he showed me the letter from Fazbear Entertainment. I am happy that Monty was accepted. . .but couldn't be happy for him honestly at that time. . . "They accepted you, huh? That's great. . ." "It's all cause you taught me, Bon! Did you get accepted?" ". . .No." "Oh. . .that makes no sense. Why would they-" "Monty!" I shouted to cut him off. ". . .You know why." ". . .Don't tell me. . ." "Yea. . .it's exactly what you think." "Bonnie. . .I. . ." "You focus on your future, Monty." I turned my back to him, "You're probably gonna be busy with the band & stuff. I. . .need some time." "Bon. . .I'm sorry." "For what? Don't pity me." ". . .Bon. . ." ". . .Just. . .leave me alone." I walked away. Looking back, I was such a jerk. . .though, I was hurt. . .and jealous of Monty. He's a fast learner, he has a nice voice, he's well built, he's talented. . .I love him as my best friend, but. . .because of I love him, it hurt more.

One night, something broke in me. . .I smashed everything in my room, BUT my bass. I wanted to break it so bad. . .but. . .I loved music, I loved playing it. . .I couldn't bring myself to. . .so I put it in my closet. . .deep, sealing it. I locked my closet. . .my system was broken. . .oil spills out from my eyes like tears. I sat down, hugging my knees. . .that's when I noticed a postcard from Foxy.

'Yaarg, Bon-Bon! Hope you're doing well. I'm struggling a bit with work, but managed to get a job! I settled in finally, and remember, even if I'm far, we're still mates! As your Captain, you must find your own booty~! We'll see each other again, Bon-Bon! Love, Captain Foxy'. Foxy. . . Soon, a call came. . .I needed someone. . .I answered it:

"[Yaarg! Guess who~!]" "[. . .Foxy.]" "[Correct! That's my first matey, Bon-Bon! And jokes aside, are you alright?]" "[. . .Yea.]" "[Sorry to call ya, it's probably night at your place.]" "[. . .Yea.]" "[I finally settled in, and well. . .I wanted to hear you. Call it homesick or somethin'.]" "[. . .Foxy. . .]" It was nice to hear his voice. . .oil started spilling again. "[Bonnie. . .ya alright?]" "[Foxy. . .I. . .I'm not. . .]" "[Tell me what's wrong, matey.]" I told Foxy as much as I can through my broken function. "[Bonnie, I get ya.]" "[How would you know?]" "[. . .It's not only ya who's struggling with reputation. I'm struggling with the same thing.]" "[But you're a fox.]" "[Cause I'm an animatronic. Robots can't be actors. Humans have a stubborn mind.]" "[Foxy. . .I don't know what to do. . .]" "[. . .That's a hard question, but only ya know what to do.]" "[I don't know! What was I even made to be!? I have a music function for what!? I. . .I hate myself, Foxy. I can't even be happy for my best friend. . .haha. . .]" "[Bonnie, we're not made to be perfect that's for sure. Ya friend would understand if ya can't be happy for them. Matey, remember when we acted as pirates together?]" "[. . .Yea.]" "[I dragged ya in, we even practiced performing. Ya supported my dream, and I'm having a grasp of it. Sometimes, ya should be selfish. Be sad, angry, hurt, happy, feel emotions. This is probably the first time ya're being selfish-like. Bonnie, ya life ain't over. Ya just need time.]" "[Foxy. . .I need you here. . .why did you leave me?]" "[Sorry mate. . .I tend to do that a lot. I felt exactly how ya feel, I needed time. Bonnie, we're still friends, best mates.]" "[Foxy. . .]" "[I'll be on phone with ya all day, err. . .night. I ain't busy yet.]" "[Foxy. . .thank you. . .and sorry, I. . .I'm being a jerk to you too.]" "[Ya have every right to be after the things ya went through. Come on, matey, I'm yar Captain, lean on my shoulder.]" "[Haha, thanks, mate.]" I talked to Foxy all night, and he made me feel better. After our call, I started up my backup system to repair myself. I talked to Foxy a lot during the needed time, once I started feeling better, Foxy was unable to be on phone much, cause of work. I understood, and because of him, I was able to get back up on my feet.

After meeting Freddy, I looked up videos of him on the internet. He revived my love for music~. I was watching an interview he had. "Freddy, what is music to you?" "Music, it is a form of communication. The songs & music we make are not just notes. There is meaning, and I hope it reaches to people all around the world, make them happy." Freddy. . . "You guys are animatronics, so you guys are made to be perfect." "Even if we are animatronics, I do not think we are perfect. Each of us has flaws, but we do not show it. I have reliable friends & family who help me, and it is a blessing. I am not made to be perfect, however, I try to BE perfect. Every one of us is different, no one is struggling alone." His words touched me. . .yea, no one is made to be perfect, Foxy told me that too, but hearing it from Freddy meant a lot more. He looks perfect, his voice, body, smile, performance, and everything is perfect. . .but he admits having flaws. "Be courageous, and take that step forward to your dream. Do what you like, do not force it in. That is what I learned." I looked at my closet. . .I walked up to it. . .and opened it after years. I reached in, and took out my bass. . .covered in dust. I cleaned it, then held it. I took a deep breathe, and played it a little. I still remembered how to play it. . .Freddy. . .

Flashback Ended.


I woke up from the rest mode, last night, I let my memory play to see how far I came. A lot has happened since that audition. . .I became friends with The Glamrocks. . .now, I want to see Foxy. He should come visit soon. I cannot wait~! I got up & prepared myself for work, today, someone chartered the bowling alley for some reason. M.X.E.S didn't tell me the exact details, but I assume it's a company party or competition. I put my purple dye on. I soon headed to Bunny Bowl.

"Good morning, boss!" I greeted. "Someone is in a good mood." "Hehe, I'm just ready to work~. And who exactly reserved the bowling alley?" "That's a secret. Also, it's just few hours, not all day." "Really?" "Yea, you can get off early today because of that." "Wait, why?" "Cause." ". . .Cause?" M.X.E.S just stares at me, and this usually means he's not going to tell me no matter what, so stop asking. "Okay, um. . .well, if you say so, boss." "Good."

We prepared for the reserved customers. Soon, the customers arrived, but a familiar voice came, "Hey, Bon! M.X.E.S!" I turned around, then saw Freddy, Monty, Roxy & Chica. . .THE GLAMROCKS!? "W-Wha!? I mean, welcome to Bunny Bowl, b-but um, wh-" "They're the ones chartered the bowling bowl." M.X.E.S says. "What!? W-Why didn't you tell me!? I-" "Calm down, Bonnie, we are here as customers, not as The Glamrocks. Also, we are friends, right?" Freddy smiles, making my face heat up~. "I-I see." I took a deep breath, and says, "Once again, welcome to Bunny Bowl~, please enjoy your stay~." I was shocked to see them, but I'm also glad, plus. . .THEY'RE ALL IN NORMAL CLOTHES~! It's a rare scene!

"Alright, let's play!" Chica excitedly says. "First, we need to choose bowling balls." says Roxy, and they walk up to the bowling ball rack. "I call this one!" Chica grabs a pink bowling ball. "I'll take this one." Roxy says as she grabs a purple one. "Here's mine." Monty says, grabbing a green bowling ball. Freddy was looking around, then says, "I will choose this one." Freddy chose an orange one, then turns to me, "Which one are you choosing, Bonnie?" "Me?" "Yes, I would like you to play with us." "B-But I'm working right now." "Oh? I thought I asked M.X.E.S about you playing with us." I immediately turn to look at my boss, who was behind the counter, he catches me looking at him, then gives a thumbs up. THIS SON OF A. . .BOSS~! "I-I guess I can." "Great! Which one would you choose?" Freddy asks. "Oh well~, I actually have my own~. And don't expect me to go easy on you guys~." "Oh sheesh. . .you've woken up a bowling master, Fazbear." Monty says, he knows my skill for bowling. I grabbed my own, trusty, bowling ball~, and we got ready to bowl~!

Monty & I knew how to play, but the other three didn't, so we decided to teach them how to. "Position is very important, okay? You hold like this." I told Freddy, helping him. "Like this?" Freddy copies me, and I said, "Yup! That's right! Be careful not to let go of the ball." "I see." Freddy tried bowling, and he managed to hit few pins. "Wohoo! Nice one, Freddy~!" I cheered him. "Thank you, Bonnie." Freddy says, his cheeks were a little red. "Ahh!" "CHICA!" We heard Chica shout, Roxy & Monty's voice comes after. We turned to the three, then saw Chica leaning forward, being supported by Roxy & Monty. "This ball is actually heavy! Thank you for saving me from the fall." "I think you picked a heavier ball, Chica. You're so clumsy." Roxy says, then Monty says, "Let me get you a lighter one, Chica." "Thank you~." "Aww, that's cute~." I giggled. "Haha, Chica is clumsy sometimes." "Still, that quality is cute in girls, don't you think?" ". . .Are YOU clumsy?" "Huh? Well. . .I don't know, sometimes?" "Then yes, I agree." "W-What do you mean, 'then'!?" "Oh. . .I meant. . .I think you are cute." My face heats up immediately. Freddy thinks I'm cute!? "Hey Freddy! Bonnie! Quit flirting & get over here, we're gonna start!" said Roxy.

We all started playing, "This is fun~!" Chica says. "It is, Bonnie & I bet a lot when we played." Monty says, and I replied, "I remember that, it was fun, and I still remember the ratio. I'm obviously the better bowler~." "Oh, did your ego grow in the past few years? How about a rematch~?" "Oh heck yea!" "Us three will bowl normally." Roxy says. "A friendly competition, sounds like a lot of fun!" Freddy says with a smile. Monty & I getting competitive, and. . .I'm sorry, Monty, but I CANNOT go easy at all, I'm not going to embarrass myself in front of Freddy. I will give it my all.

As the game went on. . .Monty remembered the bowling skills, even though he hadn't been playing, but still, I cannot lose. We were down to the last few rounds, I got in position, holding my bowling ball, trying to focus. "Bon, aren't you being a little too much of a try hard this time?" Monty asks. "I have my reason, Monty." "Trying to impress the girls?" "Even if we're friends, I'm still a fan of The Glamrocks." "Uh-huh, sure, that's the reason." Monty says, mocking me to throw me off. I need to focus. . . "I know you can do it, Bonnie!" I heard Freddy. . .he's cheering for me~! I immediately focused & threw my bowling ball, getting a strike~. I turned around, and winked at Freddy~, his cheeks turned a little red again, awww~. Maybe he's not used to flirty stuff, huh? Though, he's smooth with it~. "Wow, you got another strike!" says Chica, clapping. "You really are going try hard." I turn to Monty, "I am not going to lose, sorry, bro, but this is my game~." I did not lower my guard down one bit, I feel a little bad, but like I said before, I am not embarrassing myself in front of Freddy! With Freddy cheering, I feel waves of energy running through me~, humans call it, adrenaline, probably. For the last few rounds, I got all strikes~. The result, obviously, I won~. "Haha! I'm still the best bowler~!" "Yea, yea, you got lucky. I haven't played for few years, once I get back in my groove, I'll drive your ego down into the ground, bro!" "I cannot wait to see you try~." We giggled, and shook hands as good sportsmanship. "Sorry, I went 'try hard'." "It's fine, BUT. . ." Monty wraps his arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer, then whispers, "Were you actually trying to impress the girls?" "Huh? Well, all three, actually." Especially Freddy. "So. . .you're not INTO anyone?" "W-What are you saying!?" "Shh! Idiot, don't shout!" "We're literally right here. Plus, I can hear WHAT you guys are whispering about." Roxy says. "Great game, boys! Though, I am getting hungry, anyone else?" "Oh yes, we shall order some food & drinks." Monty let go of me, and says, "We'll talk later." "Okay?"

They ordered some food & drinks, I went to go get it. M.X.E.S made their drinks, then says, "Bonnie, why don't you perform for them?" "Perform? . . .As in music?" M.X.E.S nods, and I say, "Well. . .it's not night." "Don't be a coward." "I-I'm not! I'm just nervous! They are The Glamrocks! Also, you worked as a security guard of their studio?" "Doesn't matter WHO they are, today they're just regular animatronics. And that has NOTHING to do with this conversation." "They're still idols in my eyes! I appreciate you giving me a push, but. . .and mentioning about your past job is cause it involves The Glamrocks, plus, I couldn't believe that you didn't tell me." "Let's not talk about two different topics in the same sentence." "Okay, so, yea, they're my idols, boss." "Imagine they're just regular people. Plus, we must do what they ask, it's in the contract." "I DID NOT SIGN THAT!" "Too bad, I'm the boss." "M.X.E.S!" "Bonnie. . .if you impress them, they might hook you up about your dream career." ". . .Freddy actually offered me already, well, he's trying to." "That's good news." "Yea. . .but. . .that audition. . ." "Bonnie. . ."

"Are you okay?" I heard Freddy, and turned around, "F-Freddy! S-Sorry, I was talking with boss a little." "It is okay, but my question is, are YOU okay?" "Me? I. . .I'm just nervous." "About? Is something bothering you?" ". . .About performing." "Really? You would perform for us?" "If you want, but I'm just nervous. . .as you know, I'm you guys' fan, performing in front of you all is. . .pretty nerve-wrecking." "Oh Bonnie. . .do not force yourself." Freddy held my hands, I look up at him, and he says, "I love your music, I am sure the others would love your music. We are here to have fun, if you are feeling uncomfortable performing, none of us will make you. I understand how you feel, Bonnie." "Freddy. . .you do?" "Yes, I was very nervous performing. The concert you came to watch, I was very nervous, because I wanted the best performance, I can give for you." "F-Freddy. . ." "Once you feel confident & comfortable, you can perform for us." Freddy smiles, his words really are NOT just words. . .it warms my heart~. "Freddy. . .thank you. I. . .I want to perform. Will you listen?" "Of course I will~." "Hate to break it, but the food's getting cold." M.X.E.S says, and Freddy pulls his hands away, saying, "I-I apologize, Bonnie!" "N-No, it's okay!" I replied, my face heating up.

Freddy & I carried the food & drinks to the others. We ate, drank, & talk, being with them, I really do feel like friends. . .M.X.E.S is right, they're normal animatronics, they earned the title. . .they had their own struggles. . . I stood up, and says, "Um, do you guys mind if I play some music?" "Music? Like REAL music?" asks Roxy. "Real or not, you guys can judge." I replied. "I want to listen! I heard a lot from Freddy that you're really good~! He doesn't shut up about you~." "C-Chica!" Freddy says. Awww~, he did say he's a fan of mine~. "Well, you did give us good advice, I would like to listen to your music." Roxy says. "Yea, I haven't listened to your music in a while, just recently from a recording, but LIVE is always better~." Monty says. "Alright, I will get ready." I went to the employee only room to get my instrument. Just play like normal, Bonnie. Doesn't have to be perfect.

Once I was ready, I got on stage, and I saw Freddy, Monty, Chica, & Roxy, they are now my audience. . .don't be nervous, Bonnie. Be confident. . .I can do this. I took a deep breath, and held my guitar & started playing. I played a bit of a melancholy song first, I am nervous. . .not confident. . .worried right now. How would they judge me? Will my music reach their heart? I play the guitar with this anxiety. . . I glance at Freddy, who's smiling, enjoying my music. . .soon I change up the music to a slow, but joyful melody~. Expressing my happiness, appreciation. . .and love. I start dancing to the music I'm playing. It truly is a blessing. . .how am I this lucky to be friends with The Glamrocks? I owe it to Freddy. . .without him, this would've never happened. . .even if Monty was in the band, I would've still had my heart closed to music. . .Freddy. . .Freddy. . .I. . . I finished my music, "I love you~." Soon, I heard applause, I was lost in thought & music, I see them clapping. . . "Bravo~!" Chica says. "That was awesome, Bonnie!" Roxy says. "Way to go, bro!" Monty says. "Bonnie, you are amazing~!" Freddy says, and my face heat up a little~. "T-Thank you~." I bowed to them, then got off the stage. "Freddy wasn't lying when he said you're talented." Roxy says. "I was telling the truth, Bonnie is talented!" Freddy says. "I-I'm just a silly rabbit animatronic." I replied, can't take the compliments. I lowered my ears from embarrassment.

"I beg to differ." Soon, I heard a. . .familiar voice. I looked up, and past everyone, then I see. . .a hooded figure. . . "W-Who are you?" I asked, and everyone turned to the direction of the hooded figure. "Is it a customer?" asked Chica. "It should be just us." Monty says. The hooded figure slow claps, saying, "I'm glad you're back on business, matey~." Wait. . .is that. . . "FOXY?" I asked, then the hooded figure, dramatically took the hood & cloak off. . .revealing a red fox animatronic, a hook in one hand, and an eye patch on, then says, "Good to see you too, Bonnie~."
