2,413The pizzeria opened on time, as usual. The staff, including the animatronics, were in their usual stations, as usual. And the same man that set off the girls inside the pizzeria was sitting the same booth and kept a watchful eye out for Jennifer, as usual.
'An entire week, and he's still coming here.' TF thought as she glared at the man out of the corner of her eye. 'What does he want with her?'
"Um, Toy Freddi?"
TF blinked before looking down at a little girl looking up at her.
"Oh, sorry. Did you need something?" she asked the child in a kind voice.
"Can my friends and I get a picture with you?" she asked while holding up a camera, her friends sharing eager grins with the girl. TF smiled as she and the rest of the child huddled together for a group photo, each of them smiling as wide as they can. A flash of the camera was followed by a group cheer of "YAAAY!" before the children ran back off into the pizzeria, leaving TF to her thoughts.
'Right. Stay focused. Remember to do what you were built to do. Work in the pizzeria.' she thought before giving the man one last glance. She narrowed her eyes before turning and taking another customer's order. 'Screw it. I'll ask Jennifer tonight if she shows.'
-1:48 A.M.-
TF was patiently awaiting for Jennifer to arrive at the pizzeria. She would've asked Tony to give her a call to invite her over, but none of them knew her phone number. Still, it did give her plenty of free time at the moment. And nothing passed the time better than spying on Tony's private time with one of her friends.
"He's totally different after the first time." she thought as she watched Tony and Foxy roll around on the floor, their lips meshing together in a flurry of kisses and moans. She watched them go at it while her toes curled as she pressed herself against the glass outside the security office. "I can't wait to get him alone."
"Then you should take the initiative and strike next."
TF looked to the side to see Goldie floating next to her.
"Hi Goldie." TF greeted with a wave before looking back at the two of them. "What's going on?"
"After their current session, I need you to go inside the office and get the key for the main entrance. Jeniffer's here." Goldie explained.
"That's great!" TF beamed before turning back as Foxy released a loud moan before slumping on top of Tony.
"I think...I'm gonna need...a cushion for when...you wanna be on top." Tony wheezed out.
"Whoops. Sorry." Foxy panted sheepishly from where she straddled him before her ears perked up. "Hey! Let's see if Maria can help. With that big body of hers, she'll be a perfect cushion."
"You want me to use her body as a cushion?" Tony asked.
"Are you saying you don't want to?" she asked before holding her finger to his lips. "Just...picture it, if you will."
Tony blinked once. Twice. Then his cheeks lit up after the third blink.
"Well, that's an interesting image." Goldie hummed before phasing into the room. "Before your next round of hedonism starts, could you two open the door?"
TF, keys in hand, happily walked towards the front entrance, with Jennifer waiting patiently on the other side.
"Sorry. We're closed for the night." TF said with a grin.
"Let me in." Jennifer sighed, a smile on her face as well. TF shrugged before unlocking the door and letting her second human friend inside.
"Welcome back, Jennifer." TF greeted as she locked the door.
"Hey, TF." Jennifer waved back before looking around. "Is Tony not here tonight? He's usually the one to let me in when I arrive."
"He's...busy." TF coughed, a blush forming under her fur. Jennifer looked at her before smirking and crossing her arms over her chest.
"Who tonight?" she asked. TF whispered a few details into her ear, causing the woman's own cheeks to flare up as well. "I want to respect their privacy...but I reeeally want to see that."
"As long as you don't interrupt them mid-coitus, you can watch all you want." TF giggled, then laughed at the look Jennifer gave her.
"Do they not have any shame?!" she practically screamed.
"It wouldn't matter if they did or not. We'd still watch if we felt like it." TF answered.
"You know what? Screw it! I'll just take a peek." Jennifer decided before moving to walk towards the security office.
"Wait!" TF hastily yelped as she stepped in front of her. "We need to talk?"
"We do?" Jennifer asked in confusion, which suddenly turned to shock to see all but Foxy and Maria surround them.
"Let's take this to Foxy's ship."
The group were soon inside Foxy's prop ship, their eyes all glued to Jennifer, which made the poor woman uncomfortable.
"Sooo...what did you guys want to talk about?" she began.
"Well..." Freddi began before trailing off. Neither she nor any of them knew how to begin this. Or rather, they didn't want to. The thought of one of their friends having anything to do with an ex-con sent a short into their processors.
"Maybe I should ask?"
Everyone looked up to see Goldie float in before stopping before Jennifer, her body positioned so that she looked to be sitting in a chair.
"Ask what?" Jennifer huffed.
"For awhile now, there's been this man coming to the pizzeria, staying all day, and leaving just as it closes." Goldie explained.
"Um...okay? What does that have to do with me?" Jennifer asked.
"Not much." Goldie shrugged. "Besides the fact that he's been sitting in the same spot each time, his eyes focused solely on the entrance." Goldie then moved in closer until she was face-to-face with Jennifer. "Waiting for you to walk through the door."
"Wha-! ME?!" Jennifer jumped back in shock. She looked around to see everyone nodding alongside Goldie. "But...why? Who is it?"
"Does the name Thomas Stone ring any bells?" Goldie asked. Everyone waited for Jennifer to answer if she knew or not. Jennifer's mouth slowly opened as the color slowly drained from her face. Her breathing started to become ragged. Her hands started trembling. Her gaze was somewhere else.
"Hey! You okay?" Mangle asked the increasingly hyperventilating woman.
"Th...Thom-Thomas?!" Jennifer gasped out as she hugged herself before shaking her head frantically. "N-No! Nono! Nonononono!" The others started to panic when she began frantically muttering to herself. "Why why why why?! We're through! I'm not...I-I can't breathe!"
"Whoa! Take it easy!" BG pleaded as she placed her hand on her shoulder.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Jennifer snapped as she smacked her hand away, her own eyes darting around as sweat began to form on her brow. "STAY AWAY! ALL OF YOU!"
"What's wrong with her?" Chica asked as she and TC grabbed Jennifer's arms, their strength easily overpowering the frantic woman. They didn't even flinch as she kicked them in their legs in an attempt to get away.
"I got this." Goldie stated before floating in front of Jennifer. "Hey!" she yelled, getting the woman's attention. The moment their eyes met, both of them went black before Jennifer's form went limp.
-2:57 A.M-
Jennifer's eyes fluttered open, a groan escaping her throat as she winced from a headache.
'What happened?' she thought as she looked around. 'The security office? Why am I here?'
"Oh good. You're awake."
She turned to see Tony standing on the other side of the security desk, a worried look in his eyes. The others were either inside the office or standing outside the doors with equal worried looks on their faces.
"Huh?" she muttered while shaking her head to try and dispel her dizziness. "What happened?"
"You tell me. The girls said you all were discussing something until you started flipping out." Tony explained.
"Talking? Flipping out?" she mumbled. "What were we-"
"Does the name Thomas Stone ring any bells?"
Her eyes shot open as it came back to her. She would've jumped and started pacing in a panic again if not for rope restraints keeping her to the office chair.
"Let me go! I gotta get out of here!" she yelled as she struggled.
"Will you stop thrashing?!" Foxy snapped. She would've been more sympathetic, but this whole fiasco had cut into her time with Tony. Which really upset her since the whole 'using Maria as a cushion idea' really sounded fun to her.
"NO! I gotta warn grandpa! We gotta leave town! If he finds me, he'll-he'll-"
"Bag!"
Jennifer didn't have time, or the right state of mind, to question that sudden word before she found something being placed over her mouth. A few moments later, her breathing slowed to a more sedate rate. When it looked like she had calmed down, Foxy removed the bag from her mouth.
"Thank you...I needed that." Jennifer mumbled as she looked up at them all. "But I still need to go. I have to warn my grandfather."
"About what?" TB asked. Jennifer's only response was to stiffen before biting her lip, her fingernails digging into her palms.
"It's...It's..." she stuttered, unable to bring herself to say it.
"Jennifer."
The woman looked up to see Goldie floating before her, a stern frown on her face. If not for the kind eyes she was glaring with, one would think she'd about been ready to rip someone a new one.
"You're our friend, and we all care about you." she began before her scowl deepened. "But Thomas Stone has a record, is on parole, and is looking for you." Her form suddenly teleported, bringing her face mere centimeters from Jennifer's suddenly terrified face, her eyes completely black as she uttered her next words. "And if you being here brings anything that could hurt the children here, then I'll get very angry. Understand?"
Jennifer didn't know if it was just a trick brought on by fear and intimidation, or if Goldie had slowly begun to delve into her mind. Neither mattered in that moment. All anyone knew was that Jennifer's eyes welled up as she began fighting herself to not break down.
"Remember...when I said my old boyfriend treated me like dirt?" Jennifer asked, looking at Bonnie and TB. Both rabbits glanced at one another before looking back at her.
"Is Thomas...you're old boyfriend?" Bonnie asked hesitantly, earning a shake of Jennifer's head.
"No." she answered before hanging her head. "He's one of my ex's friends."
The others didn't take long to connect the dots, but one of them spoke the question.
"And you think your ex is having Thomas look for you?" TF asked. Jennifer merely nodded, too afraid to even open her mouth to answer.
"What's his name?" Maria asked.
Jennifer's eyes widened as she grabbed her own arm. She could almost see it twisted out of place as buried memories began to seep into the front of her mind. She slowly curled in on herself on the floor, her knees raised to her chest as she slumped against the wall.
"My ex's name..." she started before pulling out her phone, flipped through a few pages, then brought up an image of a man. "Constantine Dellers."
It was amazing, and frightening, how fast the criminal database inside of their heads worked. A name alone would have taken forever. A name and an image together? Faster than blinking. And in that blink, everything was displayed before their eyes.
They did not like what they saw.
[Constantine Dellers. A.K.A. CD. White. Hair: Brown. Eyes: Green. Age: 25. Wanted for Theft, Assualt, Possesion and dealing of illegal narcotics, Rape, Murder]
Another second later...
"YOU WENT OUT WITH SOMEONE LIKE THAT?!" BG snapped, voicing her fellow animatronics thoughts.
"Never heard of him." Tony said, causing them to look at him. A quick whisper from Foxy gave him all he needed. "I agree with them. Why would you date someone like that?!"
"It's...complicated." she muttered while averting her gaze.
"Complicated my ass!" Freddi growled as she took a step forward-
"Back off!"
Only to stumble back when Goldie appeared before her, her eyes and tone of voice scaring her into submission. Goldie kept her glare up for a moment before turning to the trembling form of Jennifer, her normal eyes softening as she floated before her.
"Jennifer." she said in a soft voice, gaining the young woman's attention. She held up her hand when Jennifer opened her mouth to stop her. "Don't speak. Just look at me." The moment their eyes met, both had gone black. A moment later, Jennifer was blinking in confusion while Goldie frowned in sadness before fading away.
"Wait? What happened?" Jennifer asked before Tony knelt down before her, his eyes as blue as Goldie's. "Goldie? Why are you-" she began before Goldie, using Tony's body, reached out and hugged her. Jennifer said nothing...and then broke down in Tony's arms. The others could only watch, confused and worried, at the spectacle before them, but said nothing as they let her weep.
-Tony's mind-
"Why the sudden hug?" Tony asked Goldie from where they stood in the mental field. "I probably shouldn't ask, but what did you see?"
Goldie said nothing as she stared at him, her frown present as wiped away a stray tear.
"Let's just say that I saw enough to ask a simple request of you." she finally said before placing her hands on his shoulders. "If we ever meet Constantine or any of his friends, I want you to promise that you'll help me."
"Help you what?" Tony asked in confusion. Goldie's demeanor shifted from sorrow to fury, a blazing fire roaring in the deep black pits of her eyes.
"Break them!"
A/N: I finally managed to squeeze this out. Sorry it took so long. Hopefully I'll be able to move on and make more soon. Also, it's come to my attention that someone has been copying my story on wattpad. Can you, my viewers, help me straighten this out?
