"Why is your name Mangle?" One kid asked, ripping off a piece of her fur.

"Now now, don't pull on my fur li-"

She felt one of them ripping at her tail, and soon it came off.

They jumped on her and started tearing her apart, removing things and putting them in different places.

"K-Kids! Ple-ease stop!" She yelled, her voice box damaged due to the kids.

Ignoring her pleads, they continued to rip her apart.

"Hey!" The manager yelled.

All of the kids suddenly froze, dropped whatever they were holding and ran out of the room.

The manager walked over to Mangle and looked down at her.

"H-Help.." She whispered.

The manager sighed and turned to one of the employees behind him.

"Close the Kid's Cove, we need to get her fixed."

The employee nodded and put a 'Sorry! OUT OF ORDER' sign in front of her stage.

"Help me get her back to her stage." he ordered.

The manager and two other employees picked her up and placed her on the stage, drawing the curtains closed.

All four of them left.

"Mangle?" A small voice called.

"Y-Yes my darl-ling?" Mangle responded, knowing it was Carly.

Carly opened up the curtains and gasped.

Mangle sighed and imagined what she looked like in Carly's eyes. Probably just a heap of wires and endoskeleton parts knotted together.

"W-What happened?" She said, her voice quivering.

"The kids d-dear..." Mangle responded.

"They did this to you?"

"Y-yes"

Carly sighed. "I would fix you if I could but I know nothing about animatronic parts."

"That-ts okay.. I t-think I'm going to be f-f-fixed soon." Mangle responded as she smiled weakly.

Mangle's ears perked as she heard what she thought was Carly's mother calling her name.

"I gotta go, bye Mangle." She said and left the stage."

"Goodbye, C-Carly."
