So this one is definitely a lot longer than my usual chapters but I felt like this was the best place to stop so here we go. I hope you guys like how I write the daycare attendant, they're a bit difficult for me. Anyway, enjoy!
After Freddy manages to find Monty and your rather frightened self in the tunnels, the bear begins leading both of you down multiple different tunnels, seeming to know exactly where he's going and how to get out.
“So how exactly did you know where to find us Fazbear? Ain't like that damned tunnel is on any of our maps.” Monty asks, albeit rather coarsely, as the three of you finally exit the dark and rather terrifying tunnels you'd found yourselves trapped in. Freddy pauses, tilting his head to the side when he looks at Monty, expression rather confused. Had he known what sort of reaction his words would have caused he may not have answered.
“But we do have access to it Montgomery……wait….can you not see it?” The bear asks, clearly worried about the reply he's going to get. You look up between the two of them, back to towering over you unintentionally apparently. Monty growls, glaring at Freddy and making you flinch in the process.
“So, what of it Fazfuck?” Freddy tenses at the nickname and resists the urge to try and get you out of Monty’s hand. Even if the gator has been extremely careful with you up until this point it still makes the bear nervous having you be in his hands when he seems to be getting angry.
“N-Nothing Montgomery. Let's just try to focus on assisting the daycare attendant. Are you still alright with that little superstar?” Freddy shys away from the subject, not wanting to irritate the gator further, before looking down at you. Monty fights the urge to storm off like he usually does, needing a moment to cool off. If Fazbear has those tunnels on his maps, tunnels specifically designed to be used by staff in the event of animatronic related emergencies, because come on who the heck builds those doors to withstand even Monty's claws if it's not meant to defend against them, that means they see him as a threat. Of course the gator already knows that. The way they all flinch if he moves too fast or intentionally avoid him in the halls, it's hard for him not to notice. What hurts the most and what sets him off is that him not having the maps but them giving them to another animatronic means it's him they specifically expect to someday go rogue and hurt someone. He hates that he cares so much about what everyone thinks of him but can't help the hurt he feels at that revelation. And of course it's perfect fucking Freddy that's given access to what they don't trust him with.
You nod in response to Freddy's question, smiling up at him. Your smile drops when you look up to check on Monty though. The poor gator seems to be going through a whirlwind of emotions and you don't know how to help him. So you do the only thing you can really think to do, you go over to his thumb and, though hesitant, you manage to give it a sort of hug. Yeah it's a bit tense and awkward considering how nervous you are around him and you being too small to give him a real hug but you're trying your best. As soon as he feels you move against his thumb the gator snaps out of it, blinking in surprise at the sight he finds. It's almost like you're trying your best to comfort him and your little smile confirms it for him. As gently and carefully as he can manage the gator brings his free hand up to you, extending a finger and using it to pet you.
Freddy had started walking ahead of the two of you to head towards the daycare, figuring Monty would simply follow him in silence. When the bear doesn't hear him following him though he pauses, smiling warmly at what he sees when he turns back to face the two of you. Of course he's seen the gator do things similar to this with kids, but it's somehow even cuter to him when it's being done to someone as small as you are. He decides to stay quiet, letting you two have this little moment, grateful you thought to try to actually help him. The bear wishes he could do it himself but knows how much Monty would hate that. After all, any affection he tries to show tends to simply anger the gator more. Monty does unfortunately notice him staring eventually though, immediately stopping what he's doing and looking away. Freddy gives an empathetic look to the both of you before turning around and once again heading towards the daycare. This time however, he hears the familiar thudding of Monty's heavy footfalls following behind him.
It doesn't take long for the three of you to get to the daycare, Monty staying quiet and following behind Freddy with you still in his hand. The two of them are constantly on alert though, checking to see where the other two stars are to make sure they don't go after either of them or most of all you.
Once the three of you go through the front doors to the daycare, walking into a sort of lobby like area with a statue of moon and sun, which you can't stop staring at, Freddy pauses as if something's wrong. Monty almost runs into him, growling in irritation and very much about to give the bear a piece of his mind until he notices too, following where the bear is now pointing to. The lights are out in the daycare, meaning Moon is the one who's out. Come to think of it all of you can hear his low cackling from here. Your heart skips a beat and you immediately grip onto Monty's thumb. Yeah the gator may still scare you but at least he's not actually tried to hurt you. Technically the daycare attendant didn't either but something about the way the other two animatronics tense up tells you, you have a reason to be scared.
Ever selfless, Freddy is the first to step forward, knowing Monty can protect you if something happens to him. You fight the urge to tell him to stay with the two of you but the fear you're feeling has all but silenced you.
“Moondrop? It is Freddy. Montgomery and I would like to speak with you.” Freddy says hesitantly, moving into the darkness of the daycare where only the glow of his optics lights the way. Moon hangs down from the ceiling almost immediately, red eyes glowing ominously in the darkness around him. Freddy flinches from his sudden appearance, but the Moon animatronic simply seems bored of the reaction. Like Monty, Moon is also a less beloved and often feared animatronic, even by the other animatronics themselves.
“What could you possibly want Fazbear….hmm…..it seems you've finally managed to capture that naughty little thing who's been sneaking around.” Moon says, voice raspy in contrast with the relative gentleness of the Sun animatronics voice earlier. They do sound very similar to you though, which confuses you. You don't have time to dwell on that however, hearing yourself be mentioned and noticing the glowing red eyes of the moon animatronic land on you. You stare, wide eyed and shaking, at the terrifying spider like animatronic before you. Monty holds you close and Freddy moves between you and Moon to stop him looking at you.
“Leave them be. They've done nothing wrong.” Freddy says sternly, making Moon roll his eyes in annoyance. “Have you seen how the others have been acting?” Moon raises an eyebrow, of course he has and Freddy should know that. The moon animatronic basically acts as another security guard once the place is closed at night, patrolling every hour. Freddy pinches the area between his eyes in irritation. Of course he's seen them, why'd he feel the need to ask that. Moon always made the bear more anxious than normal and now with you here for him to protect on top of that he's struggling to actually maintain a good train of thought. “We believe it's being caused by a virus uploaded through an unauthorized part. Y/N found them inside mine and Montgomery’s stomach hatch. When removed the glitches in our systems disappeared and we returned to normal. Chica and Roxy have lacked any moments of clarity or control but Y/N mentioned Sun had control when they interacted. You appear to as well. If you would allow it, Y/N can check and see if you have the same unauthorized part and you or Sun can help us hold down Chica and Roxy so Y/N can find the part in them as well.” Freddy explains, Moon looks rather skeptical. Though, through his combined memories with Sun he is able to see their initial interaction. The tiny being seemed terrified, just as terrified as they seem now.
“I’m not fond of the idea of them rummaging around in our systems.” Moon says, Sun immediately talking to him in their sort of collective consciousness. ‘Come on Moon, that sweet little sunshine is only trying to help! The little thing seems terrified and it's probably taken a lot of bravery for them to even offer!’ His sun counterpart presses, making him sigh.
“Be glad they're even willing to help at all.” Monty growls, holding you close and shielding you from the world with his free hand. It makes you flinch but at the same time you're grateful for the sentiment. Monty figures it's a better response than him holding you in his mouth like his random alligator code is telling him to do. Freddy moves between Monty and Moon, glancing between them and trying to figure out how to keep the piece.
“Montgomery please stay calm. You were hesitant at first too.” Freddy scolds, making Monty shoot a growl in his direction too. The bear lets it roll off and turns to look at Moon. “And Moon please understand that the little superstar only wants to help. They're terrified of doing any of this and are only helping because they care. I was unable to locate the device in Montgomery on my own. Only Y/N seems to be able to get to the areas they're hidden.”
Moon grumbles in irritation before sighing. “Your friend can probably see the part because it was put in a place where other animatronics and staff wouldn't be able to locate it. Sun and I have so far experienced no malfunctions, however you are still welcome to check.” Freddy lights up at that, smiling happily at the Moon animatronic. He honestly didn't expect him to say yes but is definitely grateful, mostly because he doesn't want Moon or Sun to have to go through what he and Monty did, even if they seem to believe they're having no malfunctions. Monty continues watching Moon like a hawk, hiding you from view and not liking how much all of this is scaring you.
“Thank you Moondrop!” Freddy replies with his usual enthusiasm. Moon rolls his eyes in response. He's rather used to the enthusiastic responses and high energy happiness, after all Sun is very much like Freddy in that way if not more so, doesn't mean it's any less annoying to him sometimes though. Freddy cautiously approaches Monty, putting out a hand to let you climb from Monty's hand to his. The gator continues covering you with his free hand and doesn't seem to want to let you crawl over to Freddy. You just seem so scared by all of this and the gator’s sensors see you as a kid due to your size so his protectiveness goes into overdrive. “Montgomery…..I promise they will be okay. Moondrop will not harm them.” The bear soothes, Monty fights the urge to snap at him, choosing to glare at him instead. “I know you are worried for them superstar but they didn't react well to the idea of helping you either.” Monty pauses at that, glancing down at you. What Freddy says is very true and he knows that's. Heck you still flinch if he moves too fast or touches you with his free hand. Eventually the gator sighs, a bit of an odd sound considering these things don't exactly need to breathe.
“Fine.” He says simply, moving his free hand and revealing your rather anxious form to Freddy. The bear bends down a bit so he's not looming over you so much, for that you're extremely grateful. His hand stays out near Monty's and he waits patiently for you to climb onto it. Seeing you hesitate prompts a bit more of his signature praise.
“It's going to be alright little superstar, I know you can do this. Montgomery and I believe in you.” Freddy says, voice gentle as ever. ‘And I do too!’ screams Sun through his and Moons shared consciousness. He pushes the Moon animatronic to say it out loud to encourage the sweet little thing but he simply stays quiet. After taking a few deep breaths to calm yourself down as much as possible you stand, shakily and nervously, before slowly making your way onto the papa bears hand. Freddy smiles happily at your efforts. “You're doing great little one.”
Once you're on his hand, Freddy carefully turns and walks over to Moondrop, Monty watching all of this rather anxiously from the sidelines. The gator may just be a robot but some of his programmed protectiveness is making all of this more difficult for him to deal with. Once Freddy brings you okay to Moon you pause, holding onto one of Freddy's fingers anxiously, not caring about how close you are to his claws. At the moment the Moon animatronic in front of you is the main thing you're worried about. Moon regards you with an unreadable expression, something that's pretty standard for him. However underneath that mask he can't help being curious about you. Seeing as he's a sort of security guard for the place at night he's seen you running around in different parts of the pizzaplex, stealing things and running frightened from any and all staff and guests. It's for that reason he never confronted you, deciding instead to simply observe you from the sidelines to see what you do. Now that you're actually in front of him he wants to know what exactly you are, and stars what happened to your little arm? He knows Freddy would never intentionally cause harm, he wouldn't put it past Monty but you seem too trusting of the gator for him to have been the culprit. Realizing he's been lost in thought for too long, Moon eventually opens his stomach hatch. It's a lot smaller than Monty or Freddy due to his slimer design but you can definitely still fit in there, even if you'd rather not.
“Alright superstar, it's the same as with myself and Montgomery. If you notice anything not matching Moon’s color scheme or any devices that seem out of place, simply touch them so Moon can get them out.” Freddy guides as you nod in response before waiting anxiously for the bear to put you up to Moons open stomach hatch. Once Freddy puts his hand level with it you hesitantly step into the smaller cavity. Moons mechanics are quite different from Monty and Freddy's. You can see clear evidence of Suns lighter colored parts amongst the darker ones. Moon watches you step in and tries not to dwell on the idea that you're messing around in his insides. Sun comments on how much it tickles and coos over how adorable you are, Moon has to fight the urge to roll his eyes.
It doesn't take you long to check Moon over, managing to check out some of Suns mechanics as well just to make sure. The kicker is, you don't see anything like what was in Freddy or Monty. Maybe Moon was right and there really wasn't anything in him or Sun. But why go after the other animatronics and not the daycare attendant? Maybe because he wasn't one of the main stars?
“I-I d-don't see anything…..th-theres nothing like what was in you or Monty.” You shout, unable to keep the anxious stuttering out of your voice. Freddy tilts his head, bending so he can look into the stomach hatch a bit himself, glowing white eyes landing on your small form rather quickly. He doesn't seem to spot much of anything either.
“Hm…..Moondrop, is there any way it could be something only attached to Sundrop?” Freddy asks, looking up at the other from his bent position in front of his open stomach hatch.
“No. Not that I–” Moon is cut off by the sound of the doors to the daycare swinging open and a certain menacing white bunny carrying a knife. He quickly closes his stomach hatch to hide you from sight while the other two animatronics straighten up and turn to look at the odd new guest.
