Funtime Freddy's P.O.V


"Left turn here, right?" asked Michael. "Yeah, right here," I responded as he turned the car to left on the intersection. "Damn, who could've thought the new pizzeria was this far from the house," I said while keeping my eyes still at Henry's phone in my hand. "Just keep going for a couple miles and I'll say what is next." "Who would've thought technology could provide directions, rather than by looking at a map," said Foxy from the back of the car. "Yeah, so why can't this society spend time creating more space in cars to fit more people," said Bonnie from the back as well. "Because that's the amount of space cars are designed to have. Nothing has been adapted from cars except their spend, design, efficiency, and whatever else has changed about them. Even all these modern cars are now to me, I keep telling you that each time you say the same thing," responded Michael. "Yeah, but you actually drive them and experienced what they were back then. Even I don't hold information on how to drive," I added in. "I know it's tight back there with the four of you, but Henry won't lend us his other car unless Helpy, Bon Bon, or Mangle is with us again. We're going to have to make due with this car until they decide to join us again," said Michael. "How does go the progress of the others?" asked Charlie. "What you haven't talked with your father recently?" asked Bonnie. "Nobody has since he left the garage at around the time we left to leave us with his luck and update on Bon Bon and Mangle," said Michael. "From what he told me though Bon Bon's new body is already near completion and will probably be done by the time we return. As for Mangle she is far from being repaired completely though is still functioning properly," I answered. "Glad your back with your father again, maybe you'll have the chance to spend time with him like how it was in your previously life," said Foxy. "Springbonnie? What's up, you've been quiet for like forever now? Usually all I hear from you is no complainants or stuff about the world," asked Bonnie as most of us turned to look at her as well. Well I wasn't completely aware of the type of person she was seemed to always be optimistic, never let anything bring her down, and was very friendly. This was different for her.

"I expected being here would allow me to forget all that has happened to the others in our world, and that I could continue on from here. It just feels like we're repeating the same scenario: Bon Bon being the not-so-nice-guy type like how Springy was, Bonnie complaining like usual, basically a couple changes to our crew here and there. And soon to lose everybody all around us," said Springbonnie looking at out the window. "Even the world here is as beautiful as ours, but just better. The chance of us probably dying... That's kinda scary to think about, more so when it almost happened to Bon Bon and Mangle." "You're scared of losing us," I said. "I... didn't think you would ever have these feelings or drawbacks. You being happy all the time... you just seemed untouchable to face these feelings," said Bonnie surprised. "I thought so too. Looks like your mind was put in mine, huh Funtime Freddy," said Springbonnie. "Seems so," I responded. It really did feel as if she was in my position now; not being ready to face a different look at life caused by the outcome of a tragedy. Even though she tried to sound like herself it felt like the weight of her situation couldn't display her true self; she couldn't be the person she once was. Never have I ever related so much to someone's struggles; I felt like I wasn't alone to endure the world changing around us.

"We both feel trapped in our minds, all but believing nobody but us can just to think as to solve our problems. Doesn't do a dang thing from what I've learned." "Springbonnie, we're here to help you. I'm here to help you. Not as your cousin, but as family... I'm not going to see you change because of these faults, you deserve to stay the same as you are," said Bonnie. "Turn right up here, then we'll be at at the pizzeria," I said to Michael while looking back down at the phone. "Right," he said as we approached the next intersection while stopping behind a couple cars in front of us at the stop lights. "This isn't really about fixing a problem, more like changing my mind on how I view something; that's just how it is right now. Doesn't feel like it can be changed regardless," said Springbonnie. "That's why you have us, and me. If it's not Mangle that can do all she can to protect us, it's me. We've been under her wing for what could be considered a very small amount of time, though we've learned much from how she operates and how her strategies function. I'll never be as organized, as focused, or even reliant on my own skills just as Mangle us, but I can still be the pupil she never expected to have. That's enough for me to show I'm capable of serving the team efficiently," explained Bonnie. "You have Springtrap here as well. Never thought I would say this, but he's proven now he was a leader from the start. And Funtime Foxy... I'll make sure she'll learn the way Mangle would've wanted her to be taught." As the lights in front of us turned green and the cars in front of us went straight, Michael turned on the signal lights and drove to the turn. "Wait, there's a sign!" I said immediately looking to the side. "Road work ahead." "Yeah, I see it," said Michael staring ahead as we passed the sign. Up ahead we could see the orange flashing lights and construction barricades, along with the construction workers and machinery they were using. "Shit, this complicates things. And it will more so if they're still here by the time we plan our final attack against the pizzeria." Michael stopped the car completely, leaving us to wonder what to do now. "Guess we go on the other side road by going around, only way we'll reach the pizzeria," I suggested. "Guess so. We can't walk with all of us being exposed," said Michael. "Let me reroute our course," I said while changing our destination course for the "Google Maps" app on the phone. "They weren't here the first time we found this place," noted Foxy. "As did I. Though I escaped by going through the back of the pizzeria and a different route," said Charlie. "Probably my dad trying to hinder us from ever going back here again," said Michael. "Like he could manipulate workers to act like a blockade for us," said Bonnie dismissing the idea. "Fair. But everything, including the environment seems it can be used against us by my father. He wouldn't think twice about ignoring such a strategy," said Michael commenting on his response. "I got the new directions now. Make a U-turn and turn right at the light," I said directing him. "Well if he did somehow get those workers to make sure we can't reach the pizzeria he's doing a good job by annoying me," said Bonnie, as Michael swung the car around and stopped at the stoplight once he approached. "What if they're on the other side as well?" asked Foxy. "If they're blocking the other way. Though Mangle would argue to consider the possibilities we can think of," said Bonnie. "You really knew her long enough to understand how she operates," noted Michael. "She does what she does best... even protecting us by using her own life for us," said Springbonnie. "She did what she thought was right... Even for someone like Bon Bon," said Bonnie, as Michael turned the car to the right, as the light turned green now. "Bonnie, you know this is probably the-what? Billionth time it feels like since you've mentioned him; you need to learn to let go of this grievance," said Michael. "Look, Mangle had every right to save him; I wouldn't want him to die, I don't hate him that much. "But like we discussed and I'll say it again, even if we've resolved this issue. Him running around recklessly is going to get one of us killed, and not the way it could've happened to Mangle; that was her choice. But it won't be one of ours when he's off to strike your insane sister; glad I have Springbonnie over her because that would be a nightmare to deal with. Even with these restrictions I doubt he'll comply and instead will attack Baby head on," expressed Bonnie. "Funtime Freddy-" "You know you can address me as Freddy right? Just for short," I said. "Right, just a habit since I feel like I need to distinct you from the Freddy's we knew. Springbonnie here has to address everyone with the name they were given at birth," he responded. "Ok, Freddy. You know him the most since you've both used to be buddies, so what do you think he'll do when we encounter Baby again?" "It's really hard to tell. We've haven't mentioned what his restrictions will be to him and we won't until his new suit is ready, and even then it depends on how he takes the situation. Sure he'll probably lash out for these rules for limiting his goal on destroying Elizabeth but maybe he'll realize how his actions have affected the group and will take precautions next time," I answered. "Maybe there's the possibility that he'll completely change his mind on pursuing this obligation." "He won't change his mind unfortunately," said Michael joining in our conversation. "I see him in me, that's the only way I can view him as. His talk about fulfilling an act of destiny, his sense of what he wants and what is right of him, his desire to give Bonnet an offering of closure; I see aspects of me, all but just glass shards stuck in whatever place on him. And he refuses to pull them out, only soaking in the pain rather than releasing it by pulling those shards out... I want to help so he doesn't end up like me." "I do as well, but I don't know if we should allow him to endure the life he chose or consider this a false closure that won't result in any prosperity at the end of it," I said. "It's not entirely our choice or will to dictate his life." "I remember this area," said Charlie looking outside the window to the right, even with Foxy next to her on the right. "Where you escaped?" I asked. "Yes, a back alley way that is nearby which I used to escape," she responded.
