"So," Freddy continued while sitting down, followed by Chica and Foxy. "I suppose you're the new security guard?"
Sugar nodded. Now, she felt more relieved, after all they showed to be quite friendly.
"May I ask why?"
"I needed bits to pay my bills and after a long search, I found this job on the newspaper."- she answered.
Of all the jobs she could pick, she chose this one. Still, this wasn't a bad job, at least she had someone to talk with and maybe eat some pizza. "By the way, do you know what time it is?"
Freddy shrugged.
"Unfortunately, I don't know."- he paused. "Where's the clock?"
"Inside the security office." Freddy thought for a while, before turning to Foxy.
"Say Foxy, you don't..." But before he could even manage to finish his phrase Foxy was gone, the only thing left in his place was a spinning chair with some dust. "Well nevermind..." And like that, Foxy was back with the clock on his hand. "Thank you!"
"No problem sailor"- he said with a good smile. Freddy grabbed the clock and took a quick look at the time. 3:56.
"We still have plenty of time left before your shift ends." He gave her the clock. Sugar was surprised. Time flies when you're busy.
Two more hours and she could go back home, but now she was more curious about this place. A few questions wouldn't hurt anyone.
Also that was a way for her to distract herself from the hunger. Bonnie was taking a lot of time with that pizza. Did something happen?
"Can I ask you a question?"- she asked with some uncertainty.
Freddy nodded with a grin on his face.
"You already did!" Chica and Foxy chuckled.
Sugar giggled. The yellow mare took a deep breath.
"What happened to this place?"
Freddy leaned back on his chair, his smile seemed to faded. Chica and Foxy looked at Freddy with a sad expression.
The brown bear glanced to a nearby party hat and grabbed it gently with his big hands.
Chica placed her hand on Freddy's shoulder. He lifted his eyes, gazing at Sugar.
"Have you heard the expression, good things always come to an end?" Sugar nodded, trying to understand. "This place is a good example. Back in the good old days, this restaurant was a happy place filled with joy." Carefully, she heard every single word from him, also she notice Chica that was still supporting Freddy's sadness while Foxy was looking at his hook. "Until ponies stop coming, unfortunately Foxy had a little accident."
She took a glance at Foxy.
"That's why he looks like that.- she thought, returning her attention back to Freddy.
"Also, we had a fourth animatronic."- Freddy paused. "Basically, he was like me, but yellow. Golden Freddy, he was only used in special occasions."
"What happen to him?" Sugar looking around, trying to find the yellow bear.
"You won't find him. He's been scrapped for money, the employees needed their last paycheck. Weeks later, the restaurant closed."
Poor animatronics. They could hear noises coming from somewhere, Chica glanced back, carefully the chicken whispered something into Freddy's ear. "Anyway, we have...things to do."
Foxy turned his head towards Freddy.
"We do?"
Quickly, Freddy covered his mouth. "Of course. Don't you remember that thing?" He tilted his head.
"Oooh, that thing!"
Taking his hands of his mouth, he gazed to Sugar Dream. "We need to go, bye!" With that, the three animatronic left their chairs, running into the security office not before Freddy gave her a wink. By then Bonnie returned with a tray, along with three slices of pizza.
"Sorry for the waiting, but I had some issues with the microwave."
Sugar turned around, forgetting that awkward moment. The smell of the pizza filled her nostrils.
"No problem."- she smiling while licking her lips. "By the way, I met your friends!" Bonnie placed the tray on the table, with a raised eyebrow he asked.
"Oh, really? What did they said?"
She grabbed one slice of pizza before answering.
"We had a small talk, mostly about the restaurant and his past." The purple bunny sighed, or at least he tried. That was a part of his life he didn't wanted to remember. "Where are they?" He glanced around.
"In the security office."- she immediately said, taking a bite on the pizza.
Bonnie leaned to the corridor. He narrowed his eyes. A yellow chicken head suddenly disappeared.
Looking back at wall, the camera was looking at them. Really guys?- he thought, turning his gaze at the yellow mare. "There's a place I like to go also, that way you eat without the one being watched."- he giggled, pointing towards the camera. Grabbing the tray, them left the room. "Don't tell anyone about this, OK?" He opened the door behind the curtain on the stage.
They climbed the stairs. "Welcome to my favourite place, besides the stage of course!" Then he opened the door, revealing the outside.
"The roof?"- Sugar asked, a little confused.
"Soon you shall know why."
Minutes later, the two of them rested on the roof, Sugar was now eating the last slice of pizza.
"This is an incredible view." From the roof, they had a nice view of the city, especially the night sky.
The sky was filled with stars, they seemed blinking at them.
"I know!" Bonnie was glancing at the stars. After finishing eating the pizza, Sugar leaned on Bonnie.
Sugar was surprised, for a animatronic, he sure was fluffy almost like a pillow. On the other hand, Boonie was comfortable with that.
"I could get used to this." She get more closer to him, wrapping a wing around the rabbit. He did the same thing, but using his right arm.
"To cuddle with me or glancing at the stars?"- he laughed.
She blushed.
"Maybe both."- the mare smiled.
Unfortunately, the first beams of light sprouted, that meant that her shift was ending.
She sighed, but she to admit this job wasn't bad, at least she could eat pizza and take a moment to relax looking at the stars.
"Are you coming back later?"- he asked. Bonnie hoped her answer was "yes".
"Only if you want."- Sugar gave him a wink. Bonnie for a brief moment, he looked away.
"I would like it." She then kissed him on the cheek.
"Anyway, I need to go, see ya later." He watched her heading downstairs. If she was returning later, he needed to get fancy, slightly.
Fortunately, he knew the right bear for the job.
