Lolbit turned her ears around, listening closely as she crawled through the metallic vent. The vixen dragged a board, with crayons on top, by a string, careful not to lose anything.
Her ears perk up and began to move towards the noise but stops when the noise can no longer be heard. 'Ug, I hate how all the vents look the same. It makes it so hard to find the hideout. I should really try and find a map of the vents.' She thought to herself, a little irritated.
Lolbit stayed still, trying to listen for any more noises, but to no avail. 'I guess I have no other choice.' She banged her tail against the wall of the vents, praying that Baby wasn't beneath her.
Lolbit hastily followed the noise, turning a right corner, hitting the vent wall again, and waiting for the response.
She followed the source of the noise making a left and then a right until she arrived at a small, barely filled, room. Two animatronics stared at her, one much smaller than the other one. The bigger one picked up the smaller one, stroking her head. "You still don't know your way around, Bits?" Questioned Yendo, amused.
"Hey now, I'm working on it. Anyway, look what I got," She turned around to grab the board and crayons. "Aren't these great guys? This finally place will finally feel like a home... just for the three of us..."
"Yeah but almost at the cost of your life. I didn't forget about you almost getting caught." Commented Yendo, holding Bonnet close to his chest.
"I know, I know, but it's all worth it in the end isn't it? Look! I even got crayons for Bonnet! She can draw on the vent walls!" She commented, showing off the sad broken crayons. Yendo sighed "Lolbit... Listen this is so sweet of you but your life is worth much more than our comfort."
Lolbit's ears dropped but were quickly covered with a smile. "Oh, you! So worried about me, huh? Well worry not nothing can get me that easily! I'm slick, quick and most importantly stealthy!" She told them with a confident smile.
Bonnet looked up at Yendo. "Alright, just know that you have us by your side no matter what." He told her, reaching his hand to put it on her shoulder but she gently stopped him with hers. "I know..." She fell silent for a second then continued "I won't forget."
Yendo nodded in acknowledgement, then put Bonnet down. The little pink rabbit quickly crawled to crayons, not hesitating to begin to draw on the walls.
"Remember to only draw in the room. We don't want anyone to find this place." He told the pink bunny. "Okay!" Bonnet replied, scribbling away at the wall. Yendo smiled. "Well, at least she's happy. I guess the crayons were a good idea." Lolbit nodded, although her demeanour slowly turned sad. "Lolbit... what happened wasn't your fault, you-"
"I don't want to talk about it," She said softly. "Please..."
"Alright..." He placed his hand on her shoulder.
"You're always so worried about me, Yendo. I don't understand why, I mean like it's me! No one can get their grubby hands on me!" she declared, her mood turning more confident. "I move swiftly and without a sound."
"Uh-huh, sure." He chuckled. "Hey! Don't laugh, you know it's true," said Lolbit, glaring at him playfully. "Well, I'm not so sure about the without a sound part." He confessed.
"Ug, you always have to bring me down, don't you?" she smirked. "Well it's true isn't it?" he joked, snickering. She rolled her eyes but laughed along. The laughter lasted for a few seconds until silence filled the room for a moment until it was interrupted by a soft snap. They turned to look at Bonnet. "Whoops, the pink crayon broke. Can we maybe get another one? It's my favourite colour crayon." asked Bonnet.
"Bonnet, we can't it's too dangerous-"
"Yendo, it's fine I'll just go to the office and see if they are there," Lolbit reassured him.
Yendo stared at her in disbelief. "Absolutely not. We almost lost you last time." Lolbit frowned. "Come on Yendo. I am more than capable of looking after myself."
"No, why would there even be crayons in an office?" He questioned. Lolbit shrugged. "It's worth a try since it's the only place no one ever goes in." She explained.
Yendo's stare hardened. "Again, no. Bonnet can handle not having a single-colour crayon. It's not worth your life."
Lolbit glared at him. "Yeah no, that's not going to work on me Bits and you know that. Now come on, you should charge. I got some batteries for us to charge ourselves. You might be possessing a robot but what's the point of that when you can't even use its functions." He said, putting his hand behind her back as he led her to the batteries. Yendo frowned at Lolbits solemn look then said. "You can go tomorrow when it's showtime. Then we can be confident that you won't croak."
Lolbit sighed. "Alright, fine." She grabbed the cord of one of the batteries and plugged it into her charging port before pressing her off button.
Lolbit looked around, she was in the Funtime Auditorium. The silver walls surrounding her were decorated with many drawings, tables were aligned perfectly although not the same could be said about the chairs each one of them misplaced.
Children laughed and cheered, some were huddled in a corner as they drew more pictures to decorate the walls with, and grown-ups chatted between themselves some staring at their kids in awe.
She looked next to her only to be faced by a smiling Foxy. He noticed her staring at him and turned his head to look at her. "You okay, Lolzi? You look surprised. Is it all the kids? We've never had this many before." Foxy asked, smiling at her.
"I think I'm dreaming," Lolbit told the fox. He looked at her in astonishment. "What makes you think that?" He questioned. "Aren't I exiled? Don't you hate me now?" She asked.
Foxy blinked then laughed. "I could never hate you, Lolzi. You're like my best friend. Also, why would you be exiled? That's stupid, maybe you just woke up from a dream." He told her with a big smile.
She smiled and then looked down at her hands. Her breath hitched. 'No no no. Not this again, please.' She thought to herself, pleading. Her hands were covered in scarlet, dripping onto her feet and the floor. Lolbit looked back at Foxy who stared at her in terror.
She reached to Foxy but the fox swatted her hand away, gritting his teeth. "Stay away from me, please..." Lolbit tried to speak but no words came out. She felt the floor crumble below her as she began to fall. The fox let out a scream. "This is your punishment." She heard Baby's voice say.
Lolbit let out a sob. "Stop! It was an accident!" She held her knees to her chest as she began to cry while falling down the dark abyss. "It was an accident..."
Her eyes opened, Bonnet's green eyes staring at her. "Hi, it's show time now," said Bonnet with a big smile. Lolbit got up and groaned. "Another bad dream, Bitz?" asked Yendo, sitting across the room from her. Lolbit nodded. "Well it will be all okay, there's no point in dwelling in the past," he said "Now come on, Bonnet is right it's currently showtime. If you want to get those crayons now is the time to go."
"Oh! Oh! Can I come with?" Asked Bonnet, looking at them with puppy dog eyes. "Sorry but no, Sweetie. It's way too dangerous for you to come with," said Lolbit, rubbing the pink rabbit's head. "Aw okay..." said Bonnet, looking at the ground in disappointment.
"Don't worry, maybe one day," reassured Lolbit, getting up and going to the vent opening. "Okay I'm going now, I'll see you all soon."
"Don't get lost," said Yendo.
"I won't." Lolbit began to crawl through the vents, her ears pricked up as she tried to listen for the least loud area. All she could hear was the cheers and laughs of children. 'I could never hate you.'
"What a lie..." Lolbit said to herself solemnly, continuing to try and find the office. Eventually, she found a vent opening, and looking through it she could see a desk covered with papers and a chair before it.
She grabbed the vent door and tried to pull it up but nothing happened. "Ug, shitty screws, guess I have to use force." She backed up, lifting her leg then smacked it down on the entrance with as much as possible. The entrance fell into the room and Lolbit wasted no time jumping down onto the table.
Lolbit got off of the table. "Lolbit?" The vixen froze and turned to be faced with a familiar rabbit. She got back on the table, ready to jump back into the vent. "Wait! Wait! Don't leave!" said the bunny, Lolbit got down hesitantly. "Well damn, aren't you a sight for sore eyes? Never thought I'd see you again." They smiled.
"You're happy to see me, Bonnie?" asked Lolbit, sceptical. "Well yeah, this whole exile thing is so stupid. You were such a joy to be around, but now I'm stuck with a bunch of buzz kills. Tell me, how are Yendo and Bonnet doing?" said Bonnie, leaning against the office wall.
Lolbit kept quiet. She stared at them sceptically, holding her hand onto the table in case she had to make a quick escape. "They're doing okay... How long have you been here? Shouldn't you be performing now?" She questioned.
"I've been here for a bit. Baby told me it's my day off or something like that, which I know isn't true but I'm not going to just give up a free break." They explained, shrugging their shoulders.
"Huh, that's weird. She must have her reasons, right?" Said Lolbit, letting go of the table. "Hm, maybe. Anyway, what brings you here?" They asked.
"I'm looking for some crayons for Bonnet." She told them. Bonnie raised an eyebrow. "In the office?" Lolbit nodded, feeling embarrassed.
Bonnie giggled. "I'll leave you to it then. I'll find somewhere else to chill." They opened the door and looked at Lolbit. "Stay safe." She nodded. "I will."
After Bonnie left, she turned to look at the desk covered with papers. The vixen sighed but began looking under the papers and in drawers.
Papers soon covered the floor along with different types of stationery. 'Hmmm, I guess Yendo was right. No crayons here.' She thought to herself. Picking up a piece of paper she saw the word 'IMPORTANT' written at the top with red ink.
Curious, she read the paper, it was a list.
●Find the missing animatronics, Lolbit, Yendo and Bonnet●Find the blueprints for the new pizzeria and the new animatronics
●Make a new and better location
●After finding the missing animatronics, scoop all of them for spare parts for future animatronics
Lolbit froze, staring at the list with wide eyes. "This is bad, very bad. I need to warn everyone... But how no one will listen to me..." She thought for a second. "Maybe if I warn Baby and she believes me, she'll warn the others. Yes, that's a good idea. I'll wait until showtime is over."
The vixen climbed up on the table, pulling herself into the vents.
In Circus Baby's room stood her and her allies. "I hope you six know why I called you here for this urgent meeting." Said the clown, sitting down on her stage. Everyone stared at her in concern. "I didn't want to make a big deal about this situation, but it is going beyond my control. So, I ask you all this one time to please help me with our Lolbit problem, since it has now escalated to not just her coming back but Yendo too." The redhead paced back and forth.
"Wait, but why just us?" Asked a bidybab. "If it is so important shouldn't we ask the other four for help?" Baby sighed, hiding her irritation. "Because you five are the only ones I can trust. We all know they were against Lolbit's exile, they might be working for her," Baby explained warily. "You're the only ones I can rely on, so can I trust you to help me?"
"Of course! If it means we can put a permanent stop to them," said Foxy. "What do you need us to do?" Everyone murmured in agreement. "Thank you, but are you all sure? I want to check since this could be dangerous." Baby asked. She smiled at the sight of everyone nodding in agreement.
"Don't worry Baby, we're all in this together. No matter what," reassured Foxy. "Thank you all, I don't know what I'd do without all of you..." Baby thanked. "Now, I just need you all to try and trap Lolbit and Yendo if you come across them," she explained.
Bonbon frowned. "That's clearly easier said than done, they seem to have a habit of switching us off. Especially when they are together." The blue puppet explained, crossing his arms. Baby turned to look at him. "I did say it would be dangerous, Bonbon. If it's too much for you all you have to do is say so." She said, a frown trying to make its way through.
Bonbon grumbled but kept quiet. "Now, if you do manage to trap either of them or both, just scream and I'll be there as quickly as possible," the clown told them. "Any questions?" Foxy raised his hand.
"I'm just thinking back on what bidybab said earlier, won't it be easier to catch Lolbit and Yendo if we get the others involved? Because say Funtime Bonnie spots them, he won't know to trap them because he didn't know about the plan," said Foxy. "Involving them gives us an advantage over them and makes the process of catching them much quicker."
Baby groaned, turning her hands into fists but quickly released. She let out a groan. "I've already explained myself, they can't be trusted. Until I am certain that we can trust them I don't want them to know about the plan, understood?" She growled.
Everyone looked at each other, exchanging uncertain glances. "Well?" Demanded Baby, glaring daggers into them. They quickly began nodding. "Of course, makes complete sense. Won't ask again... Sorry..." Apologized Foxy, taking a few steps back.
The redhead smiled. "Thank you, now you all are dismissed." Said Baby, waving them away. Everyone grumbled but left.
When Baby was sure everyone had left, she sat down by one of the poorly decorated party tables, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Ug, what a pain the bunch of them are. As if they would understand everything I have planned. Those four aren't needed for what I have planned for Lolbit..." She said to herself, letting go of her nose.
"Circus Baby?" Said a voice behind her. "I should have guessed you would have alternative motives for this plan of yours." Baby turned her head to be faced with Ballora's glaring eyes.
"Why do you care, huh? You've never cared before, Ballora. Why won't you just leave me alone, it's already awful enough that I am stuck with you in this dreadful place." Hissed Baby, turning to glare at the ballerina. Ballora's eyes softened into a sad look.
"I care because this won't just hurt them, it will also hurt you... I don't know what you have planned but you and I both know what happened on that day was a freak accident." Ballora said with a stern voice. Baby tightened her hands into fists. "And? They don't know that. So who cares?"
"I do. It's cruel to keep such a thing from them! You ruined the lives of the innocent!"
"SHUT UP! WHY IS IT THAT YOU CARE FOR EVERYONE ELSE EXCEPT YOUR DAUGHTER!?"
Ballora froze, and Baby glared daggers into her. Without a word, the blue ballerina left the room. "Coward..." said Baby under her breath. "I won't let anyone take this away from me even if they are my family. I deserve this..." She glared down at the table, gritting her teeth.
"Baby." said a voice from behind her. Baby lifted her head, stunned for a second but recovered quickly. She grinned. "Aren't you daring, Lolbit?"
