~Chapter 4: Deciding & Cleaning~

*Bell's POV*
I didn't get any rest at all since I still thought about the talk with Toy Bonnie. I had no clue what was going on one bit. I sat up, sighing. 'I need to get some rest at least.' I thought, running my hands through my hair. I've been in human form since before talking with Bonnie the night before. There was footsteps outside, and I stood up. 

"How long before it's ready?" A slightly familiar voice said, but I couldn't exactly know who it was. 

"Um...sir? I hate to bring up this fact but...we're not sure if it would be a good idea to send her out at all. I mean, what role would she have?" 

"Hm, well you may have to take that up with Mr. Afton. He's an expert with animatronics." I quickly got into my position and changed into an animatronic, in case they came in. I had to pretend I was shut down as well, to play the role. As I predicted, I heard the door open. 

"But sir. He's pretty scary and after hearing what happened with his only daughter recently, I don't think he'll be able to cope with this kind of thing." 

"Fair point. Although, we'd like her performing as soon as possible, don't we?" 

"Well, yeah but-" 

"Excellent! Now, I'll go call up Mr. Afton to check her out." A guy said before I heard him walking away. The second guy sighed. 

"Great," He said with a bit of sarcasm. I wasn't sure why he stated it like that. "Wait, Mr. Gideon," I heard him turn around and I glanced to see it was a guy in a security outfit. I only was able to see he had blond hair and I went back to my previous eye position until the door closed. 

I blinked a few times before standing up. 'Performing? I'm not sure if I'm qualified for that kind of thing yet.' I thought, frowning slightly. I changed into a human and tilted my head slightly. 

*Snowflake's POV*
Vincent was sitting on the couch with images from the tape footage he got from the police station. We stared at them for a while before the phone started ringing. I looked towards the phone and Vincent spoke. "Snowflake, fetch." I looked at Vincent for a second before standing and trotting towards the phone. I got up on my hind legs and grabbed the phone in my mouth, before going back on all fours. 

I gave a bark and with heightened hearing, I could hear what the person on the other side of the phone was saying. "Hey, girl. Listen, I need to talk with your owner about something." I heard Vincent's boss, Mr. Gideon say and I tilted my head. I looked over at Vincent to see him still  staring towards the images. I gave another bark towards him and he looked at me before sighing and standing. 

"Thanks, Snow." He started walking towards me and pat my head. "Go ahead and get some rest, girl." I gave a small whimper, but did as he said. I was worried that this might be making him lose sleep but I didn't object to it. Vincent picked up the phone and put his other hand in his pocket.

"Hello?" He paused before speaking again. "Look, Gideon. I already quit the job, remember? I'm not checking in with any of the animatronics." Vincent said with a small growl in his voice. He seemed to calm down slightly. "I know, I know. Wait...a new animatronic?" He asked, confused. I lifted my head, looking at him. "When did you get a new animatronic besides the Toys?" He asked and I tilted my head, in confusion. "Know what, wait for me to get there before you do anything else with it. Be over in thirty." He hung up the phone and moved towards the door. 

"Let's go Snow." I hopped up and trotted behind him, as we left the house. We got in the car and I sat in the passenger seat and Vincent started driving as soon as he could.

*Thirty Minutes Later*
We got to the pizzeria and I stayed by Vincent the whole time as we walked towards one of the storage rooms. "We ended up receiving this one by mail, but we didn't order any animatronics' since we've already had the old ones and the toys. I thought those were enough but I saw a large box and found the animatronic inside."

"Any ideas on who it came from?" Gideon shook his head.

"Nope. No label. It was like someone just stuffed it inside a box and brought it here. The original owner didn't even bother to label the box. We even had it examined the box for any prints but there weren't any." He opened the storage room door and sitting in front of a wall of boxes was a wolf animatronic.  I went up to it and sniffed it. It was made of the actual fur of a wolf so it had the wolf scent but also a faint scent like Isabella's.

I couldn't keep my tail from wagging at her scent. Vincent seemed to find it weird until I looked at him with a bark. Vincent seemed to find it suspicious. "Where's the footage for outside?" He asked, looking at Gideon. 

"The footage is on a separate device from the Indoors Security." Gideon said and I looked back at the wolf animatronic. "Come on, I'll show ya if you need me to." He said and Vincent nodded as they both left. Vincent knew I could take care of myself when I'm alone since I was used to walking around while him or Isabella were asleep when they worked here. I stared at the animatronic for a moment before I started walking away. 

I heard the metal of it clink and I looked to see it was probably was glitching. The limbs were all twitching and I whimpered before hiding behind the nearest box and I started barking in alarm. It stopped after a moment and I peeked out to see the animatronic had stopped and it sat still again. I gave a small whine, slowly coming out from my hiding spot.

Blood started to fill below her eyes and I whined, getting a bit closer. It started to smell slightly more like Isabella's blood as some started to come down from her mouth. After a moment, it looked up at me. "S...Snowflake?" I started to feel happy and my tail started wagging. 

'She knows me! It's Bella!' I thought in excitement. I hopped away from her and ran in circles with happy barks. 

"She's alive she's alive she's alive!" I barked, excitedly and she chuckled. 

"Yeah, I'm alive...sort of." Isabella said and I stopped my excitement and looked at her. 

"What do you mean?" I asked and she started to pet my head. 

"Well, I can't explain it, but...I can possibly help you and Dad." I tilted my head to the side. "Listen," She brought me close to her and I followed with it. "Look for Sarah. She'd be the one Dad's probably after." I whined and gave her a dog hug. If...most humans know what that means anyways.

"Okay, Bella." I said and then blinked. "Wait...." I backed up from her before tilting my head. "Are you understanding what I'm saying?" I asked, confused. She chuckled a bit nervously.

"Well, yeah. I guess so." She said and I smiled as well. 

"Oh well. I might a well try to help Vincent a bit for now."

"Careful with how you act. Dad doesn't understand what you say." She said and I smirked. 

"I already have my ways. Besides, I already know all the dog body languages with hanging around you and your father." I said and she smiled.

"All right, I trust you, Snowflake. And you can't tell the other animatronics I remember you, okay?" I tilted my head again, in confusion. 

"Why not?" 

"Well, the others think I don't have my memories back yet since a little while ago." I nodded and started to leave. 

"I gotta go to your Dad now. I'll see ya later." I left the room and headed towards the office, following Vincent's scent. I got to the office and coincidentally, Vincent was about to leave the office. 

"Hey, Snow." he seemed focused on something on my neck and ran his hand on my fur on it and then he retracted it again to see blood. I remembered that Isabella had hugged me while she was bleeding from her eyes and mouth. Which reminded me of what she had requested me to do. 

I gave a bark before turning around in circles and I lifted my left paw, directing my head towards the main hall and my tail stuck straight out. "Point!" I barked and I heard Vincent chuckled a bit. 

"All right then, girl. Lead the way." 

*Bell's POV*
It was night all over again and the animatronics were probably all gathering out in the main party room or something. I had to find something to clean the blood off with. Of course, I stayed in my animatronic form for the cleanup. I couldn't find anything and sighed.

'Great, can't find a towel but no water either.' I groaned a bit and thought about how many animatronics' there would be in the main party room and I hit my head against the box wall. At the impact, the boxes started to fall over and I tensed completely and they fell over.

A loud crash sounded and I felt something fall on top of me as well while I had my eyes closed. I got taken to the ground and groaned a bit. I felt pinned but I felt like I was completely wet from something. I opened my eyes to see darkness. I heard the door open and I heard a familiar voice.

"Uh...you okay, Bells?" I heard Foxy ask and I felt my face heat up.

'Okay....this is kinda embarrassing.' I thought to myself.

"I do not know, it's dark!" I exclaimed and I heard footsteps. Bad part is, it echoed to me, so it hurt my ears, badly. I got dizzy from the volume and the darkness went away with some light from the open door. Foxy was on one knee only an inch in front of my face and he held the bucket in his right hand.

"No, it's not. You just had a paint bucket on your head." I smiled a bit, nervously.

"Uh, good point." He stood up and I noticed a few boxes had fallen on top of me from the stack that toppled over. I started to sit up and I moved some boxes off of me. Foxy helped a bit too, even though he poked a hole in the box with his hook hand.

After all the boxes were moved and I stood up, I noticed I just went from white, to a lot of colors. I heard a stifled laugh, making me look towards Foxy, who had his hand over his mouth to help to stifle his laugh.

"What are you laughing about?"

"You look like a circus clown." Foxy stated before he ended up rolling on the ground, laughing. I crossed my arms with a scowl. I noticed some opened paint cans in the room and smirked.

'Payback time.' I thought, before quietly going over and grabbing one and got a few feet from Foxy's legs. I saw the paint was completely full and I smirked, before throwing all of the paint in the bucket, onto Foxy. He stopped laughing and sat up. I could tell he was the one scowling me now. I smirked. 'Payback, payed.'

I threw the bucket to the side and he growled. "What was that for, lass?!" 

"Laughing at me. And saying I looked like a circus clown." 

"Well, when you're multi-colored like that, it's true." I grabbed another full paint bucket and splashed him with paint again. 

"Wanna say that again, pirate?" He grabbed a full paint bucket and threw the paint onto me. 

"Hey!" I glared at him. "What was that for?!" I asked and he chuckled, standing up. 

"That was for throwing paint on me twice."

"I'm already colorful enough, Foxy! I don't need any more color." 

*Third Person POV*
Bell and Foxy eventually had a paint fight and Old Bonnie was enjoying the show with Balloon Boy, Mangle and both Old and New Chica. Both Freddys and Marionette were starting to wonder where the others went along with Toy Bonnie. 

"Where are the others?" Marionette asked and Toy Freddy shrugged.

"Not sure." 

"How are we supposed to know what they're doing? I know I couldn't care less." Toy Bonnie said and both Old Freddy and Marionette scowled towards her until Marionette sighed. 

"I'll find them." Marionette said and he left to go find the others until he got to the main hall and saw most of the animatronics around one door. He felt his eyebrow twitch under his mask, even though he usually took his mask off to show his human form. 

"What are you all doing here?" Everyone looked at Marionette, who was now right behind them. He apparently didn't need any explanations when he saw Foxy and Bell covered in paint, along with the entire room. But, Foxy and Bell looked at Marionette, then each other, then they looked back at Marionette. They both fixed their posture and pointed at each other. 

"(S)He started it!" They both claimed and the others just left it alone, for now. After a few seconds of silence, Marionette looked towards the ones who were watching them. 

"All of you, go wait by the Show Stage. Bell and Foxy, stay here for right now to clean up." They both sighed with complaining groans. 

"Aye." They both said and Marionette nodded before leaving and shutting the door. 

Bell's head dropped, "Great, this is gonna take a while." She muttered, in complaint. 

*Bell's POV/Time Skip*

We managed to get halfway through cleaning the paint off of the walls, without any arguing. Frankly, it was pretty fun until Marionette came in. He seemed pretty defensive of me lately, but I wasn't sure why. I felt like I knew him though, but I didn't bother too much into it. 

"Bell?" My eyes widened and I looked at Foxy. He had his back towards me. "Did....did ye manage to get any of yer memories back?" He asked and I looked at the ground in front of me as my ears folded back. 

"....no. Sorry, Foxy." I lied, before he chuckled a bit. 

"All right. Just go ahead and let me know whenever you do get them back, okay?" He asked and I looked to see him smiling at me. I smiled back with a nod.

"Okay. I'll make sure to do that then." I looked back in front of me to finish up the small area I was working on cleaning. 

"By the way, don't let Toy Bonnie say things like the other day get to ye." I looked at Foxy and I noticed in is tail and ears were a bit lowered. 

"Huh?" 

"There was a lass who was nightguard. But, she didn't die cause of us oldies." I blinked once, remembering that he was probably talking about me since I remembered talking with Toy Bonnie and had talked to me a long while ago. I smiled a bit, looking away.

"I know, Foxy," I said making him look at me. "I'm not blaming anyone for anything like that."
