Hey guys! I know it been a little while, so let me give you all a little explanation on why this took longer than it should have. I honestly didn't have a good summer and last month, which was August, was one of the worst months I'll ever have and will never forget. I couldn't find the motivation to continue to write anymore chapters at the time and that was one of the things that really bothered me.
There was also some stressers of  what I want to write about first, before I moved on to one of the big parts in this "Season 2" thing. And this chapter happened to be it.

I'm sorry again for the wait. I'm still dealing with my own struggles and I hope you guys take it easy on your end and make sure to take care of yourselves as well ❤️. But anyways, let's get on with the chapter!

Art by me! (Oh and the art for this chapter was supposed to be for Fnaf 1's anniversary this year, but I didn't get time to finish it nor post it, so I'm finally using it for this chapter!)

—————————————

'Rrrriinnnngggggg!' The house phone rang from the living room, catching the attention of the few who were nearby.

"I'll get it!" The neighbor assured everyone, putting his newspaper down on the dinner table, and getting up from his chair.

"Hello?" The neighbor spoke into the phone. A soft feminine yet creepy voice came from the other side.

"Mmm? Freddy Fazbear? Yes he's here." Freddy looked over from the couch at the neighbor as soon as he heard his name. "Freddy, someone wants to speak with you." The neighbor called the bear over over. He was skeptical, but got up to pick up and took the phone from the neighbor.

"Hello?" Freddy greeted the someone. He froze for a moment, after hearing their voice.

"Ooohhh...hey been a while." He stayed silence for the other person on the line. He sighed once the person was done talking. "I told you this already, I don't celebrate my birthday anymore.....Still I-......No I..I don't feel like seeing them...."

Mae peaked over the couch to hear Freddy's conversation better, interested about what he's talking about. Freddy stayed silent for a few more seconds, before sighing again. "...Fine...I'll ask them....I'll see you soon..." Then he hung up the phone and walked towards the couch.

"What the heck was that?" Mae asked the large robotic bear. He didn't say anything, just looked to the floor. He sighed to himself once more.

"Hey..guys?" He spoke up. Cuphead and Kris paused their game and turned around to look up at Freddy. "Yeah what's up?" Cuphead greeted. Freddy hesitated, but continued.

"I'm gonna say this to everyone else today, but I figured you three with be the first that I'd talked to about this.." He said. "Y-yeah..what's wrong Fred?" Kris asked.

The bear hesitated again. "How...

What do you guys think about going to an all animatronic circus?"

^^^^^^^^^^^^

A few days later..

"I think this is the place." The neighbor said as the group walked from out of the car. Oh yeah. Did I mention the big-butt "car" they got, just so it can fit everyone in the house....I didn't? Well now you know :D

"Yup..." Freddy said, not sounding excited unlike almost everyone else in the group. Nighttime had rolled around, making everything dark, except for this big red and white circus tent. They all walked in, passing the filled parking lot and the big sign that read:

"Circus Baby's Pizza World!"

As soon as they stepped inside, they were awestruck by how big the tent was and the amount of people that were here, getting food and snacks and even merchandise. Not to mention how much beautiful red and gold decorated the place. This must be a big deal if THIS many people are here.

"Wwooooaaahhhh.." Just about everyone in the group expressed from the sight before them. Freddy just hummed, obviously not impressed.

"My friend said she reserved seats for us down by the stage." Freddy announced to the group as they followed him to their seats.

Meanwhile in the big tent, two girls were rushing to find their seats..or at least, one of them was rushing to find their seats, while also yelling at the other to keep up.

"Come on ENA! The show's gonna start soon and I wanna find our seats before it's get harder move anyways with all of these people around!" A cartoonist moon with the right side of her face colored white that almost looking like a crescent with short dark hair and a block in her left eye floated in the area of her and her friend's seat, continuing to find it.

The other friend however, happily hopped around trying to keep up with her friend. Her blue and yellow spilt face showing how excited and happy she was feeling."Ahhh the circus." The girl talked an unexpected masculine voice. "A place full of joy and wonder! This is gonna so, so-" ENA stopped speaking as her mouth and eyes turned staticy for moment before her head turned fully around to reveal the right side of her face as more sad looking , while the other was completely black.

"-Awful!" ENA finished her sentence with a more girlish voice. "This is going to be the worse day of my life!"

The other friend continued to look for the seats, before spotting them only a couple of feet away. "There they are! Hurry up ENA!" The friend floated towards the seats and hovered over her's. "ENA!" She called to the girl again, who eventually joined her moon friend, half of her face still looking sad.

"I'm sowwy for being so slow. This is why I shouldn't go out anywhewe with anyone."

Her friend sighed. "It's ok. We found our seats and that's all that matters. Anyways, when do you think the show's gonna start?"

"How should I know? I'm too stupid to know anything-" ENA's eyes and mouth switch back to static again, making her stop mid sentence. Seconds later, her head turned fully around again, revealing her normal blue and yellow split face again.

"Sincerest apologies." She took a breath, before speaking again in her usual masculine voice. "But I hope it starts soon! With all of these people here, this MUST be a big deal!"

Her friend chuckled. "Yeah, a show with nothing but animatronics is bound to be good, am I right or am I right?" The moon laughed.

"Uh Moony what..are you talking about? You're not making any sense."

"I'm saying with just animatronics in show, I bet it's gonna be interesting. I'm just waiting for the part where they shut down in the middle of the show, that will be funny and embarrassing to watch."

"Bet you're right! Though, you have imitate, it is a cool idea. Are they even programmed to hand the show all by themselves?"

"Beats me, but who knows. That'll be some insane AI they got there if that was case."

.....

Back at the Indie group, they've sat down at their comfy red seats close to the stage, waiting for the show to begin. It would only be a few minutes now. Everyone else in group discussed how excited they were about this and how some have never even been to any type of circus in their life before.

Bendy looked up at his animatronic bear friend next to him, who has his arms crossed disapprovingly for some reason.

"So Freddy.." Bendy started to say.

"Ya..friends from that...story ya told us...are they here?" The cartoon asked hesitantly. "No these aren't the ones I was telling you guys about...my friend here asked if I wanted to see them this time but..I...didn't feel like seeing them.."

Bendy frowned a little at that. He noticed Freddy wasn't acting like himself right now, like he didn't look like he wanted to be here. At all.

"Are..ya doing ok buddy?" Bendy asked, concerned. The bear sighed. "If...if I'm being honest with you..I didn't want to come..but I couldn't say no because....I wanted you guys to have a good time..."

"Fred.."

"And it's...not like I wanted to see THIS group of friends I have in the show, it's just that...." Bendy remained quiet so he could listen to his friend.

"One of my friends here wanted to treat this like....a missed birthday gift because I-"

"Ya haven't celebrated ya birthday since that day ya-?"

Freddy didn't respond back. He just looked away from the cartoon character. "Ya don't have to treat this like that Fred. We're just here to have a good time. I bet ya friends here miss ya too.." Bendy smiled a little at the animatronic. Freddy sighed again.

"I guess you're right-"

"Everyone please stay in your seats. The show will begin momentarily.." A soft feminine voice briefly spoke on the loud speakers. Everyone else in the big tent started to head to seats and just about everyone in Indie group only got more excited, including Bendy. Freddy still wasn't intimidated. He was kind of used to this.

"By the way Fred, how good are they?" Bendy asked. "Oohhh they're good. Just you wait." Freddy responded with a small smile, giving Bendy a bit more high hopes for this show.

As everyone made it to their seats, all the lights started to faded out, only keeping the lights near the stage on. The music for its opening show began to play, making everyone in the tent excited.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(I know this is in Spanish, but I wanted to use a song that would be good enough for this! This song belongs to NamyGaga and her story on Fnaf called FnafNG, which is on YouTube! It's really good so far btw, go watch it! It's also in Spanish, but she also has the one with English subtitles! Also I put the English translation lyrics here, based off of google translate with a bit of changes to some of the words, just in my opinion, make it smooth better I guess.)

Two smaller baby-like animatronics with a pale tan on their metal bodies excitedly appeared from the large red curtain as the stage lights above shun on them.

"Have you heard of a place underground?
Where it's hidden quite well almost entirely..
And your birthday will you remember?
We're Funtimes, we are going to help you!"

The stage lights above shine on four puppetlike dolls, wearing tutus and white face masks with two small eyeholes, along with a large mouth. They came out from the large curtains next as they danced and sang.

"Such a fair you come to play-
And your friends you can always invite!
Balloons, clowns you'll find them here,
In Circus Baby's you're going to celebrate!"

Next, the lights shun on an animatronic bear that looked very similar looking to Freddy as he came out from the large curtains. He was shiny white with light pink highlights and in replace of his right hand, a shiny blue bunny handpuppet with a red bow tie moved on it's own.

Next to them was a fox animatronic with a similar color scheme to the shiny white bear animatronic with a red bow tie and orange eyes.

"Boys and girls, you are welcomed!
Remember we always have to have fun!
This circus is going to entertain them!
Freddy and Foxy (And Bon Bon!), we're Funtime!"

A animatronic ballerina with painted shiny white skin, rosy cheeks, blue hair, and a purple tutu came out. The lights shun on her shiny face as she began ballet dancing while she sang.

"If you like ballet..
Well Ballora is going to surprise you!
In the circus you laugh..
I encourage you everything with attitude! - Wouh-oh!"

The audience began to clap to the music, giving more exciting tension to the atmosphere. All the animatronics began to sing together on stage.

"Clapping, clapping it's time to scream!
Light the candles and let's sing!
Make a wish, remember to blow!
Being with you, we are the Funtime!

It's show time!
(One more time!)

Clapping, clapping it's time to scream!
Light the candles and let's sing!
Make a wish, remember to blow!
Is someone missing us? We're the funtime! (It already started...)"

The animatronics on stage made room for the final animatronic to enter. The stage light above hit her as she walked on stage. She looked similar to a circus clown with red hair in pigtails, rosy cheeks, and bright green eyes. She also wore a red skirt and a cropped top with frills on the shoulders.

"Wow there's so many people! It's nice to meet you!
It's Circus Baby who you came to see!
I'm glad I made you happy!
"(It's Circus Baby!)"

"Do you love my circus? Come to my tent,
With your family you'll celebrate better,
The Funtimes say with love!"
"We're the funtime!"

The audience erupted with applause and cheers as the show progressed.

The bear and foxy animatronics of the show preformed really funny and comedic acts with the other animatronics joining in as well. They also preformed amazing acts that some of them pulled off like juggling, dancing, and singing, especially with the ballerina's beautiful singing in one act that grabbed everyone attention.

As the show neared it's end, everyone was already breathtakin by the show and it's performance. It truly was amazing, a one of a kind show to remember. The show finally ended and the cast did their finale and goodbyes to the audience. The lights faded back on as everyone else began to head towards the exit.

"That. Was awesome!" Bendy exclaimed with a big smile on his face.

Sal: "That was really good!"

Mae: "I loved that!"

"Me too." Kris smiled as he looked down at his flower friend in his lap. "H-how was that Flowey?" The flower grumbled, kind of embarrassed by his own response. "Good...I guess..."

Monika: "I think that was better than an actually circus!"

Fran: "I think I would agree too!"

Spooky: "Same!" Hat kid nods too.

Neighbor: "I'm just surprised I took this long to see a show like this."

Cuphead: "Yeah me too, that was really cool!"

"You all can meet me in the parking lot, I'll just be popping in to say hi..." Freddy notified the group.

"Ya don't seem too thrilled about that buddy..Ya want me to come with ya?" Bendy said, looking up at his friend's face. The bear was hesitant at the question.

"Sure, but I'm not going to be long. I'll meet you all in a little bit."

^^^^^^^^^^

As the rest of the audience left the tent, the group waited for Freddy and Bendy to return. They both headed backstage, before they've reached a red door with a golden star in the center. Freddy knocked on the door.

It opened, revealing one of the smaller and baby like animatronics they saw in the show. He gasped as soon as he saw the taller animatronic.

"Freddy! Is that you?! I thought you actually wouldn't come!"

"Well, guess you thought wrong." Freddy said plainly. The baby-like animatronic looked a bit behind the bear to see Bendy wave awkwardly at him.

"Is that your friend Freddy?" "Yeah, he just came to tag along." "I think you had more friends too with you right? Cuz I saw from the audience, where did they go? We could have met them."

"They're outside waiting. We're not staying long either way."

"Awww why not? We haven't seen you in forever."

"Just-where's Circus Baby? I want to talk to her." The smaller animatronic pouted at the bear, before opening the door all the way.

Bendy looked around in awe at the beautiful star fairy lights, extra sound equipment, balloons, items they used for the show and more. It all seemed so beautifully organized too, which is also pleasing to look at.

"I think Baby should be in her room." "Alright, I'll be right back. Bendy, you stay here." Freddy said before walking off into the hallway with similar doors like the one him and Bendy came through.

The little cartoon didn't have a chance to say anything to Freddy. He watched him walk off, before looking at the baby-like animatronic next him who smiled at the cartoon, making Bendy chuckle nervously.

^^^^^^^^^

Freddy continued making his way through the hall, when finally stopped at a similar door like all the rest here, except there was also a name engraved in it:
"Circus Baby".

Freddy knocked on it and waited for an answer, when he realized he heard singing on the other side. He knocked again, calling out to the animatronic."CB?"

The singing stopped, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps. The door opened, revealing the red pigtailed clown animatronic herself. She gasped as soon as she saw Freddy.

"Freddy, you did come!" She spoke in her calm yet creepy voice that still had a hint of excitement. "I said I would. I just stopped by to say hi."

"How was the show? Did you enjoy it?" Some confidence came from Circus Baby's voice.

"You know I always do CB." The female animatronic giggled. "I know, it's just always good to hear that you enjoyed it." She looked around, noticing something.

"Where are your friends? I thought they were here?" "I have one waiting for me here, everyone else is waiting outside." Circus Baby gave a confused look.

"How come? Shouldn't they all of come with you?" She asked. "Well...I'm not staying long so that's why.."

CB looked a little shocked. "You still decided not to stay? We haven't seen you in so long you know." Freddy took a moment to reply, before he let out a sigh.

"I know but....I just don't feel like staying here right now. I came wanting to show my other friends what a good show you all usually pull off....But..it's..it's not like I didn't want to see you either, I just....it's complicated.."

"Do you have a lot of stuff on your mind?" Freddy sighed once more.

"I..told my group about..my past recently.." "You..did?" Freddy nodded.

Circus Baby lowered head in thought. "You know..despite what happened...I do hope you celebrate your birthday one day.."

"I..don't know if I will CB.." Freddy looked away. "I mean I'm dead so...what does it matter either way..." Circus Baby looked at the bear with sorrow eyes.

"I think I'll be heading out now..the others have waited long enough.." "Oh...ok.."

Freddy started walking back down the hall, before turning around. "I'll..see you later.." He waved. "Yeah..later.." Baby sadly waved back.

Freddy continued down the hall, finally entering the big room he let Bendy and the smaller baby-like animatronic in.

"-And then me and Fred searched for a coffee place for the next 3 hours, til we realized it was Sunday and nothing is really opened on Sundays." Bendy said to the rest of the animatronics that were in the show. They've all come out of their rooms and were having some "storytime" as they all sat at one of the white bench tables they have.

"Ah! Speak of the devil." Bendy exclaimed as he looked up and saw Freddy. The rest of them turned and looked up as well. "Freddy!" The rest squealed.

"Hey." Freddy greeted emptily. "Come on Bendy, let's go." "So soon Fred?" The little cartoon asked. "Yeah..let's go.." Freddy said as he started walking out, leaving the circus animatronic group behind. Bendy sighed, hopping out of his seat. "I'll see ya'll around!" Bendy waved goodbye as they all waved and said their goodbyes back, before Bendy ran ahead to catch up with his taller animatronic friend.

"So how did it go? Ya friends seen nice." Freddy only hummed, looking ahead. Bendy frowned at this. "Everything alright bud?"

"...yeah" Bendy only frowned more, until he had an idea. He stopped the bear in his tracks and gestured him to lower down to Bendy's size with his finger. Freddy followed hesitantly, crouching down to the cartoon's size. He was then suddenly booped on the nose, making a brief, but cute "Honk!"

Bendy chuckled, making Freddy look away from embarrassment. "I should have known you were going to do that.."

"Remember when we first met and I did that to ya?" Bendy asked as Freddy stood back up. "Yeah?" "Good times!" Bendy smiled proudly. Freddy rolled his eyes jokingly, before he continued to walk in the direction of the exit with Bendy following beside him.

"Remember that was also the first time you "sweared" in front of me?" Freddy asked. "Oh yeaaahhh..now that was embarrassing.." "No, that too was also some good times." Freddy chuckled slightly.

"Yeah yeah." Bendy blushed slightly. "Oh by the way!" Bendy continued. "Ya making pizza on Friday right? For dinner?!" Freddy smiled a little at how excited his smaller friend sounded.

"I think the neighbor said we might go out for this Friday." "Like a restaurant?! Yes! Which one?!"

"I'm not sure yet. I think we're all have to discuss that together." Bendy groaned. "Aww man." Freddy smirked.

"Still a kid.." He said quietly to himself. "What are ya talking about?! Ya 10 years old yaself!" Bendy exclaimed, apparently hearing what Freddy said.

"Oh...yeah" Bendy laughed a little, making Freddy laugh too. Soon enough, they both laughed together as the friends finally exited out of the circus tent.

Aw man, I'm so glad that's over and done with! Also, is any familiar with ENA? I'm in love with her animations by Joel G on YouTube! They are very strange but really enjoyable to watch! But I wonder what's gonna happen, where's the group gonna go?....on a FRIDAY nonetheless ;)
