New Beginnings

' Chapter 2 '

Chica jogged to Freddy's door but stopped herself before she knocked. Something told her something was wrong. She moved as quietly as possible to the clear wall and peeked through the small curtain opening.

Freddy was sitting at his vanity, his head was down and buried in his hands and his ears were pinned down. She could not hear anything but noticed his shoulders shaking like he was sobbing. She debated whether or not to come in, but decided against it. She knew what it was about and she was probably the last person he wanted to see right now.

She felt a hand on her arm and jumped back in panic, nearly yelling and alarming Freddy. She did not when she realized it was Vanessa.

"Chica?? What are you doing out of your greenroom? You know the rules." She said sternly. Ever since the death of Bonnie every animatronic had to stay put in their designated spots after closing. Security and Managment did not want to risk another decommissioning. It was sad, the four of them cannot even remember the last time they got to see the DJ or the Daycare Attendants, since none of the secondary animatronics were connected to the servers. It's to the point Sun and the glamrocks will tell the children to say hi or say something for them to the other. It became a fun little game of telephone where the glamrocks and sun would subtly send messages to each other through the kids that visited.

"I-I am sorry, Vanessa, I was just seeing Freddy." She said. Vanesssa sighed.

"Well head on back to you room. We can't be roaming around like we used to." She gestured for Chica's room. Chica nodded and headed off, wanting nothing more than to pass out in her charging station. When she entered her room to her shock, Roxy was there waiting for her. Before Chica could yell again Roxy shushed her and gestured to the curtains where Vanessa was still looking.

She groaned but crossed her arms and tried hearing Roxanne out.

"Listen. Chica, what I said back there came out wrong. It's not your fault what happened." She said.

"And so..." Roxanne trailed off.

Chica furrowed a brow, an unimpressed look written on her face.

"Go on, say what you need to say." Chica said.

Roxanne groaned. "Chica. I am...I'm...sorry." She finally said.

"Wow, I must be special then? You never apologize for anything." Chica replied snarkily. Roxy kicked her foot and looked down awkwardly.

"Look, that was very hard to do, be more appreciative." She said. There was silence for a minute before both of them started laughing it off.

"Baby steps, Roxanne. Soon you may even be a good person." Chica teased.

Roxy laughed at that. "That's wishful thinking, Chica." She said.

After the laughing died down Chica spoke up again. "So...why were you following me to the kitchen earlier-?" She asked. Roxanne laughed nervously.

"I uh. Some kid gave this to me and I'm never gonna' wear it but... It reminds me of something you would wear." She said, removing something from her finger.

It was a cheap and plastic ring with a pizza charm. The fake metal was already peeling off of it.

"I wanted to know if you would want it." She said. Chica gasped, taking the ring.

"It looks...terrible, I love it!" Chica exclaimed, momentarily forgetting why she was so emotional. Roxy laughed. "Yeah. I knew you would." She shrugged.

She patted Chica's shoulder roughly. "Well. I'm exhausted so I'm going to recharge. I'll...see you tomorrow?" Roxy asked, heading to the door. Her face and voice seemed confident but her hands were violently shaking. Chica  chuckled at that.

"Yeah, I guess so." She said. Roxanne waved again before leaving. She heard Roxanne loudly groan from behind the door.

That wolf was so weird sometimes.
