Wow. I Wish I Had A Father

Start from the beginning
                                    

Jester took a breath, still not meeting Freddy's worried gaze. The animatronic bear didn't want to hear anymore, but he didn't interrupt the story.

"Inside the abandoned pizza place, I was attacked by four animatronics: a bear, a fox, a chicken, and a... rabbit. They were old, covered in blood and guts. They smelled like something had died inside of them. Little did I know that someone had died inside of them only a few years earlier." Jester shuddered, remembering the smell.

"The rabbit found me first. He, it, chased me until four in the morning. That was when I was finally cornered by all four animatronics and..." Jester reached down to their left pant leg and started rolling up the fabric, revealing a shining metal prosthetic. Freddy's eyes would have widened if they could. A metal leg. No wonder why Jester limped whenever they walked anywhere. He was not expecting Jester to be missing a leg. But the worst part is the last sentence that they added afterward.

"I was eleven at the time."

Freddy knew many eleven year olds. He attended their birthday parties and helped them navigate their way through the Pizza Plex. They were so young. Freddy could help but be horrified that such a traumatic thing happened to Jester at that age.

"I'm... so sorry that that happened to you," Freddy said. "I can imagine how this would be a very traumatizing experience for you, but if you don't mind me asking, what does that have to do with us?"

Jester laughed grimmly. "It has everything to do with this entire place."

"I apologize, but I am very confused."

"It was the 1993 Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place location," they explained. "Bonnie was the one who bit my leg off."

Freddy felt his system shut down for a split second in shock. Fazbear Entertainment was the cause of this human's pain and suffering? No wonder why Jester was scared of the animatronics. It was an irrational fear, but they didn't know that. It was a fear that was ground deep within them. Jester always suspected that the new versions of the same animatronics would attack them, but they never did.

"But now, I'm almost thirty years old. It shouldn't be affecting me like this anymore," Jester said.

Freddy only looked at the IT with wide, staring eyes. "Jester," He said. "I am so sorry."

Jester paused. They stood up from Freddy's lap and started apologizing profusely. "No, no, no. It wasn't your fault. It was the old models. You are different from them. You wouldn;t hurt anyone, and I know that. You are safe and kind and loving. Freddy, whatever happened in the past is in the past. You are not part of that past." Jester paused. "Please don't feel like you did anything wrong."

Freddy couldn't help but have his eyes linger to the metal prosthetic leg that was sticking out from under the still rolled up pantleg. He couldn't help but feel guilty. But he didn't let that show.

"Of course," Freddy lied. He decided to change the awkward conversation. He gestured to their metal leg. "Did you make it?"

Jester's face lit up with a small smile. "I did! It's a little shorter than my right leg, hence the limp, but it serves it's purpose."

"That is very interesting," the bear said. "Does management know? How come they haven't hired you to be a mechanic? Why are you here and not a big corporate organization?"

Jester laughed. "Slow down, Fazbear. Yes, management knows. Dave is actually the person who taught me everything I know about mechanics. They haven't hired me as a mechanic because at the time I only filled out an application for an information technology person because I was still terrified of animatronics. And lastly, have you seen this place? I think it qualifies as a big corporate organization. Also, I have made so many friends with you and the other Glamrocks that I don't think I would want to leave now anyway."

Freddy beamed. He stood up and reached his hands out to give Jester a hug. "Thank you for telling me this." Jester hugged Freddy back. "Let's go back upstairs to get you home," he said.

***

After Freddy made sure that Jester clocked out and watched them safely get to their car through the sliding glass doors (because animatronics weren't allowed outside of the building), he walked back down to Bonnie Bowl. He knew that Bonnie had been down there for almost two years now.

It was a sad story and Freddy wasn't going to blame anyone for anything that had happened to Bonnie, because it wasn't their fault. Freddy had come to terms with the fact that his best friend would never be here anymore a long time ago. But this encounter with Jester refreshed the feeling of sorrow and anger. It wasn't right to be angry, but Bonnie was gone and it was all Monty's fault.

It was an error in the programming, nothing ridiculous. But that one single purple strand of coding was enough to cause Monty to have a human emotion that wasn't a part of his programming: rage.

Monty had always wanted to be in the Glamrocks since he arrived as the newest addition to the animatronic team. Bonnie used to leave his green room in the middle of the night to go over to Monty Golf and teach the alligator animatronic how to play the bass. It was until one night when he was teaching Monty when the purple coding took over Monty and caused him to...

Freddy shuddered. He didn't like remembering that.

It wasn't Monty's fault. It wouldn't happen again either. The animatronics were checked once a month to make sure that the purple code wasn't coming back. It just happened that management didn't see it as an issue until his best friend was decommissioned because of it.

Freddy walked up to the door that was still open, the light from his eyes shining on the muted blue paint of Bonnie's ruined legs. With a sigh, Freddy grabbed the door and closed it behind him, leaving Bonnie in the darkness.

But what Freddy didn't see was the faint yellow glow coming from the rabbit's broken eyes. 






heyo, author here. 

what did you guys think about Bonnie's ruin story? 

Since there is no canon way that he was actually decommissioned, I kinda used a few theories and mashed them together in a way that makes the most sense to me. 

Hope you guys liked it!
