//• Chapter 2: More than three •//

"I'm Marionette." It introduced itself. "What're your names?"

Again, he couldn't say a word, but Bonnie did.

"Bonnie the rabbit!" The purple rabbit replied with a quirky chuckle. "I like your costume, lady!"

The doll-faced animatronic didn't make a comment on that, rather she looked over to the chicken, tilting her head to a side.
"I suppose that's the female star of the show, then."

"Supposedly." Freddy snorted, stifling his giggle while Bonnie went on with full-on bursting into laughs.

"Supposedly a female." She gave a slow shake to her head. "I should take that as a 'yes' then."

The chicken seemed unamused, crossing her arms in annoyance. "Not funny!"

"Pretty much is." Freddy snickered, glancing at the rabbit with a grin.

Marionette would've smiled at their playfulness, if she wasn't already.

Later that very night, the animatronics went off stage to get settled into their new lives, since they couldn't remember a single thing from their pasts, except for Chica, who was still recalling the ... dog incident.

Bonnie was sitting on a table, examining his guitar, curious of how he knew just which string would make what sort of sound. Beaming, he began strumming, playing a peaceful tune, head nodding here and there with the rhythm.

While doing so, his bright-red eyes darted over to the chicken on stage. With an ear drooping down, he grinned, changing the rhythm to a song.

"~Somewhere out there,
Stars are shining for you;
Somewhere of course, you'll find the one you're lookin' for, "

She glanced at him for a moment, looking back down with a sigh.

Bonnie continued to sing.

"~Every day's different,
every mornin' givin' off your light;
Shining in an instant,
the sun's light becomes less vibrant,"

On the other hand, Freddy was exploring the place, struggling to walk properly as he was still getting used to his stiff self. Everything felt small under his height, making him anxious at one point, while excited at the other.

He eventually entered a room opposite to the Stage Area, entitled 'Pirate's Cove'. With an ear's flick, he peered into it, finding the room filled with tables and chairs that had been adorned with pirate-like decorations. In the middle of the room, lied a stage, closed off with bright-purple fabric.

He stepped inside with a little hesitation, glancing around the small Party Room.

Once he assured himself that no one was there, he strolled over to the small stage, using his large hand to move the purple fabric as he peeked inside, finding nothing but darkness, or that's at least what he thought he saw.

Abruptly, a red flash lunged at him, the sudden impact causing him to fall backward with a yelp. He shook his head, looking at the thing that had hit him.

"Ye be trespassin' a pirate's property!"

The animatronic, which resembled a fox with its triangular head and long muzzle, was a lot shorter than him, even skinnier. Its lower jaw had been molded in a way that represented a permanent snarl, making it appear more menacing. Its right eye had been covered with an eye-patch, its right hand replaced with a silver hook that glinted even in the dim lighting of the place.

It growled at him. "Why would y' try t' invade me land!"

"I wasn't." Freddy responded. "I was just exploring the pizzeria, found your 'land' by coincidence."

Its eye narrowed. "I be no' trustin' an oversized plush!"

The bear scowled. "Oversized!? Plush!?"

"Ye be one o' those plush's frem tha' good ol' prize corner, and I be smart enough t' no' trust ye!"

"That's offensive!" Freddy snorted, pushing himself off the ground to tower over the fox.

"And it seems to me that you're a bit of a short-head."

Snarling, it pointed its hook at him. "This ol' hook can cut ye int'a slivers!"

"I hope it works well." The bear smirked, grabbing his hook and shaking it.
"Freddy Fazbear. You?"

There was a skeptical glare from the pirate in response as it jerked its arm away, scratching its left forearm with its hook.
"Th' little maties call me Foxy."

With a nod, the bear turned his head to glance behind.

"That's a good name if you ask me." He said as he looked back to the fox.

"Care to join us outside?"

In return, Foxy frowned. "Anyone else with ye!?"

"Well, three more animatronics." He replied with a slight shrug of his shoulders.

With a squint, he nodded. "Fine. I'll come with ye, bu' it better no' be a trick!"

"Trust me." Freddy muttered, moving back towards the main hallway ...
