The two of them stood there, in a very awkward silence.
Bonnie glanced around, trying to find his friends, but he couldn't see them.
Think, think you metal head!- Bonnie thought to himself.
Freddy and Foxy gave him several tips and some help on how to court a mare. Unfortunately for him, he forgot everything, either he wasn't paying attention or his computer didn't recorded properly, either way he needed to act.
Bonnie was about to say something, but Sugar got him first.
"So...I guess I'm going to my office, I probably need to answer the phone." - She gave him an awkward smile, her eyes looking at everything, but him.
"Sure, I...have some things to do, yeah. Dishes and stuff." The pony and animatronic stood there for a few seconds, before Sugar took her leave, heading towards the office. Bonnie watched as Sugar kept walking further until she turned to her right and disappeared.
"I'm a idiot..." - Bonnie muttered to himself.
"You got that right sailor."
"Eeyup."
"Don't say that." Bonnie turned around and pulled the stage curtains, revealing his friends. "Hey Bonnie." - said Chica.
Freddy and Foxy pretended they didn't know what just happened. Foxy was using a guitar, upside down, even if he couldn't handle with his hook. The bear was messing with the drum, trying to clean it with a cloth. Bonnie did cleaned the drum a few days ago.
As for Chica well, she wasn't actually doing anything. Like spying.
"What are you guys doing back there?" - he asked.
"Can't you see?" - Freddy answered. "We're making sure everthing is clean and in perfect conditions."
"Oh, really?" - he asked again, crossing his arms.
"Either that or they just wanted to spy on you." - Chica said with a slight giggle.
Foxy lifted his eyepatch.
"Ah, traitor!"
Bonnie just shook his head.
"Thank you for being honest Chica." In return, she gave him a hug.
"How is it going?" - Chica inquired, sounding a bit concerned for his friend.
Bonnie scratched behind his head.
"It could be worse I suppose."
"Worse than this?"
Chica gave Foxy a glare that said 'You're not helping'. He chuckled a little. "Sorry mate."
"No, you're right. I messed up."
Freddy approached him with a smile.
"Fortunately for you, we have at least six hours to work it."
"To begin," - started the fox pirate. "have you prepared dinner?"
Oops...- he thought to himself. "Hehe, no?" Foxy and Freddy facepalmed.
"And the table?" - asked Freddy, but Bonnie looked away. "I see, don't worry we can handle the food and the table, just...talk to her for a while, until we get things done."
"Really? You would do that for me?" The three animatronics nodded. "Thank you all."
Foxy waved at him with a dismissive hook.
"Leave that to us, now go talk to her sailor!" Bonnie gave him a quick salute and walked towards the back office. "Well, we got some work to do." - he said to the others.
"I take care of the food." - suggested Chica.
"Leave the music to me!" - said Foxy.
"In that case, the table is mine. Let's go!" - ordered Freddy.
Meanwhile in the back office, Sugar was at the phone talking to Purple Mystery.
"S-so, no problems so far?"
"Nope, everything seems fine for now." - she took a small sip from her coffee.
He chuckled.
"Good, good to know, but if something happens you know what to do right?"
Sugar nodded to herself.
"Don't worry, I know."
"Alright, in that case I won't bother you, keep up the good work, bye!"
"See ya later." - she hung the phone and let out a sigh. Purple Mystery sometimes seemed to be...stressed about something. She wanted to ask why, but that would probably be asking something personal.
Sugar leaned on the chair, simply enjoying the silence and her hot coffee. Then she noticed Bonnie approaching from the left small window.
"Hey, done talking with Purple?" - he asked.
"Yep, do you know him?"
Bonnie shrugged.
"Only a little, what I can really tell you about him, is that he's a very shy pony, but he has a big heart."
"He's the owner?" - Sugar asked.
The purple bunny shook his head.
"No, but he was the first guard." - he scratched his chin. "Night shift, if I remember well."
"Did you guys talk to him?" Again, he shook his head. "Why not?" - she inquired tilting her head.
"Company policy, no animatronic or employer must have or maintain contact." Sugar was more than confused by that statement. After all, they did had contact with the little foals, why not with employees?
"Did you know why?" Bonnie just shrugged. "That's odd."
"I know right?" Sugar was about to ask a rather more personal question, but her stomach interrupted. Bonnie giggled. "Hungry?"
Sugar nodded, feeling a little embarrased. "Give me a second please, be right back!"
"Okie." Bonnie got up and walked down the hall. His eyes searched for his friends, instead he found everything arranged, the table had been set, the lights and a gentle music was playing.
"Impressed?" - voice called next to him. He turned to see Freddy with a smirk on his face.
"Yep, thanks for the help."
"Don't sweat it kid."
Bonnie crossed his arms with an annoyed look.
"I'm not a kid."
Freddy chuckled.
"For me, you'll always be my kid, now go have your dinner with Sugar, the food is ready." He nodded and went back to the office. "Chica, Foxy, bring the food. This is going to be very interesting!" He winked at anyone in particular.
Sugar's belly kept on rumbling, the sandwich had proven not to be enough. Maybe next time she should buy something to eat along the way.
"Ah, Sugar?" With all that rumbling and thinking she didn't noticed him. For a odd reason she blushed. Many ponies had called her name, but the way he said it was...different.
"Hehe, sorry, deep thinking and hunger."
He smiled and waved her to follow him.
"Don't worry about that." Sugar rose from her seat and followed the purple animatronic.
"This looks amazing." After a close inspection, she could see somethings seemed more cleaned or organized. "Let me guess, you got a little help?"
He blushed a little, somehow.
"Yes, do you like it?"
Sugar though for a while, she wasn't sure why he doing this for her, maybe... "Of course I do."
The two came to the table.
"Pizza and french fries with orange juice. Unfortunately that's what we have." He pulled the chair for Sugar.
"No problem, I don't eat that much either." After Sugar sitting down, he took his seat across the other side of the table.
Bonnie grabbed a slice of pizza and smiled.
"Let's eat!"
