Bonnie wasnāt sure how long it had been since the accident āeven though he knew it was no accidentā happened. Timeād passed by while he waited for something to happen, surrounded by other endos, stripped of his casing by that woman. Then, the boy had appeared out of nowhere, and Bonnie knew that was his chance to get out of there, to find his friends again.
The boy was brave, braver than many adults heād met, as he found the missing casing parts and put Bonnie back together, returning him to his old glory. The child, Gregory, had been wary, but itād taken sharing some things that only the real Bonnie could know for him to become quite determined in getting him out of there. Apparently, he knew Freddy, hearing the bearās voice through a Fazwatch had been overwhelming in the best way, but Gregoryād told him to stay quiet.
Heād led Bonnie to the main plaza, telling him to stay hidden and keep a lookout before turning his attention to his Fazwatch. Bonnie listened as heavy footsteps began to resonate around, then watched as the all-too-familiar bear came into view, and it took a lot of willpower to wait for Gregoryās signal before coming out, but once Gregory moved, Bonnie didnāt hesitate.
It took his optics a moment to adjust to the light of the plaza, but once he did, the first thing he saw was the bear in front of him. Heād had hoped to find a way out of the endos area, but to actually be out, to be back with Freddy, made a system warning for overheating appear in his peripheral and his internal fans turn on.
āHey, teddy bear,ā he said, squeezing Freddyās arm when the other reached for him. āI missed you too. Come hereāā Bonnie opened his arms. ā-give this old rabbit a hug.ā
He didnāt wait for Freddy, pulling him in and hugging him as tight as the metal they were both made of allowed. His gaze turned down to Gregory, who looked quite proud of being the reason of this reunion.
āI found him with the endos!ā the boy said. āHe wasnāt in good shape, but I put him back together!ā
āThat he did,ā Bonnie agreed, pulling back to look at Freddy. āThis kid you found rocks on!ā
Itād been too long since heād heard that nickname ā as sweet as itād been the first time around, as treasured as the memoirs he kept stowed in his room. If heād have any tears to cry, there would be a river flowing along the floors!
Freddy wasted no time in wrapping the rabbit in his embrace; one touch to know that he was really, truly there, and he was prepared to hold on and never let go. Heād never allow Bonnie to be stripped from him by the darkness again. He was home. They were so close, it felt as if his metal were to creak; even so, it was difficult to care.
Some time passed before Freddy loosened his grip to crane his head and look at the small boy. Pride swelled in his chest.
āYes ā yes, that is Gregory! I have been helping him to leave the Pizzaplex, but⦠it seems that he had other plans.ā Unwilling to pull apart completely, he kept a firm hand on Bonnie as he turned his body fully. His ears wiggled with a mixture of intake and excitement as he used his free hand to ruffle the hair on Gregoryās head.
āI cannot thank you enough.ā His voice switched to a different tune, one higher, less soft but with every ounce of earnest retained. āWhat you have done for me is not something I would have imagined in a million years. You are my true friend.ā
āBonnie⦠What happened to you?ā Blue light pervaded purple metal as Freddy scanned him. Heād been reconstructed almost perfectly, only aged with the time heād spent away. āI had feared the worst ā I had feared that I would never see you again.ā
