He smirked. "Just messing with you, little sister."

I frowned. Then suddenly, I felt a sudden pain inside my head.

'Little sister...'

'Little sister...'

'Little sister...'

"Mangle, are you okay?" Foxy asked, drawing me out of my daze.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I assured him as the pain went away. My heart started pounding a little bit faster. What was happening to me? Somehow...I feel...nostalgic? Maybe it was just me.


. . .

The next day, I received a call from Springtrap.

"What's with the sudden call?" I asked. This was an unexpected call indeed. Where did he get my number anyway?

"Meet me."

"Why?" I asked.

"Just...I need to tell you something important."

"But it's a school day!"

"I don't care," he told me bluntly. Well, perhaps I too didn't care. My head was killing me yesterday. I felt like I lost my memories but didn't and I'm having them back. Weird.

"Okay...fine." I ended the call.

. . .


Neither of us talked. I just sat there staring at Springtrap for a very long time.

I couldn't handle the uncomfortable silence. I cleared my throat. "We're students of a prestigious a high school. If someone were to recognize us here, you'll take the blame, right?"

"Yeah. I guess I'll take the honor of starting?" he asked me.

I nod for him to continue. "Well...umm...




...please pretend to be my girlfriend!"

I blinked. "Again? I thought your parents were satisfied."

"They were...just not convinced. I think they'll be putting your family into investigation for a background check."

"What?!" I stood up from my chair.

"Sorry."

"It's fine," I told him as I sat back down. "Are you a rich kid or something?"

"Take a guess." He smirked. I smirked back.

"And umm...about the 'relationship' thingy..." Springtrap motioned for me to lean closer. He whispered in my ear. 

"I have bodyguards right now observing us. My parents were suspicious of me because they believe I can't take a girl seriously."

I frowned. I slowly backed away from his face. I looked around to see men in black hiding...everywhere!

"I can't just agree to this! It's your fault that you're such a player! That's why your parents don't believe you!" I protested.

"Please! I'll do..." he thought for a moment then held up 3 of his fingers. "...three favors for you as long as it's humanly possible."

I closed my eyes. I opened them once I had processed what was going on inside my head. I took a deep breath before asking. "For how long?"

He smiled. "For the rest of high school."

"Are you crazy?! That's...2 years!" I stood up from my seat once again.

"Don't worry! We only have to pretend when those men in black are here. It's not every day that they're watching us. So...perhaps I can narrow the duration for...a year?"

I took a deep breath and sat down. Springtrap was looking at me with pleading eyes. I'm not the type to say 'no' anyway. So...

"Five..."

"What?"

"Five favors. You will do 5 favors for me that are humanly possible."

He sighed. "Deal. Thanks."

And that was it. I still had a lot of time so Springtrap and I went on a pretend date. It wasn't actually a date. We just ate in a fancy restaurant and went home. It was weird though. I felt like someone was watching us.


. . .

"Oh...my...gosh. Foxy is so gonna get mad at Mangle for cheating on him," Chica exclaimed in happiness as she saw Mangle and Springtrap eating from afar.


. . .

I went straight to my room once I had arrived back home. "Mangle? Are you okay?" I heard my mom...aunt....call downstairs. I stumbled as I tried to lie on my bed. This headache is killing me.

"Yeah! I'm fine!" Once I had responded, I heard my aunt's footsteps fading away. I didn't really want to talk to her because of everything that happened in the past week.

That was when I felt another excruciating pain. I clutched my head with both hands.

As time passed, I forgot how to scream and only felt unbearable pain. I fell down the rug.

"Aaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!"

I finally managed to scream. It hurt so much.

I heard footsteps running upstairs. "Mangle?! Mangle?! Are you okay?!"

My line of sight my getting blurred every second I try to calm down. I saw my surroundings spinning.

Aunt's voice was also fading...



That was when...images started to appear inside my mind.


"Isn't it great, Foxy-senpai? You're going to have a FUN first period!"

"Yeah, right. It is fun, blockhead."

What was this? What was happening?

But someday, I hope I can be the reason for this heart to beat.

The reason for you to live, my Foxy-senpai.

Fo....xy....senpai?

"T-that accident that j-j-just h-happened...that wasn't c-considered to be a k-k-k-k-k-ki...."

"....a kiss.... I know."

Huh? What...is this me?

"Huh? What mission?"

"Mission....Operation: Notice Mangle, you numb Foxy!"

Why would I ever need to be noticed?

"Foxy...what were we in the first place?"

"Weren't we friends?"

Instead of the pain in my head, I felt pain in my heart.

"B-but F-foxy-senpai, if you will give that to me, I'll feel guilty"

"Then, let's wear it together"

That smile...I want it to last forever...

"How can you smile like that?"

"Because I have hope."

"Hope?"

"Hope that he will soon come to love me, too. Someday."

Love....me? Foxy will?

"I like...her."

I screamed once more. My consciousness was barely with me.


Once again, I felt another rush of memories.

"What's your name?"

"I'm Foxy...nice to meet you...Mangle."

My eyes widened.

"I...will never let you go."

"Why? Just why?"

"Because...I love you."

"STOP! STOP! This isn't Foxy!"

"I'm giving you a choice. Run away, and never return. Start a new life."



"Or...take my hand."

I felt tears running down my face. I remember now. How could I forget? I...ran away. Why...did I blame him?

Then I blacked out.


. . .

"Why did you keep things from me?"

"I'm...sorry"

"For how long did you want to keep this from me?"

"The pain was too much for you to take. It was for your sake."

"Did you intend to make me live a life full of lies?"

"Are you now blaming me because I was the one who caused you to lose your parents and memories?"

"I'm not blaming you!"

"Admit it Mangle. You want to blame me. But you thought that was too selfish of you."

"You couldn't accept me. Until now. You only did when you lost your memories."

"Accept you? What are you talking about?"

"I knew you weren't yourself when you lost your memories. You couldn't accept me."

"I couldn't accept you?"

"I told you something before you lost your memories, didn't I? Even if you didn't respond, I knew your answer."

"Huh?"

"That's right. Maybe you never even heard it. But your answer will always be the same. Now, what are you going to do?"

"I...will continue to live."

"Now that you remember the past, you only remembered the past me. Please forget everything I told you in the past because...I changed. You changed. You have nothing to do with me anymore."

"I will."



I woke up with sweat trickling down my forehead. So that was why he was acting like that back then. How could I forget the last thing he told me? Wait...he loves me? No...he loved me.

I looked around and everything was white. I instantly knew where I was.

There was a girl beside me. I smiled. "You are...the one that I saved back then, right?"

She smiled back. "So you finally remembered."

I shrugged. "I guess so."

"Why did you save me? You barely knew me back then." She looked down.

I smiled as she slowly looked up. "You're worth saving."

"Worth saving? No...I'm not. Your life was important to that boy from before."

"Boy?" I perked up.

"When you lost consciousness, you muttered a name. Was that person...important to you?"

I smiled a genuine smile. "Very. Much more than my own life."

"And that's Foxy...isn't it?"

I stared at her. "How did you know?" I asked.

"I spent high school with everyone of you. Just from observing, I saw through your emotions. I'm just that kind of person."

I sighed. "You're pretty sharp."

"Yeah. I knew who you were the first day of high school. And I couldn't believe you were with Foxy. That's when I had concluded you lost your memories."

"Hmm...if I didn't get in a car accident, maybe I still blame Foxy up until now. So, thank you, Marionette."

"Just call me Mary."

"Okay, Mary." I smiled.

After 3 days, I let Mary call Freddy. Turns out, they were actually close because they both work part time in this shop owned by the Matthews? I don't know why, but that name sounds familiar.

And so...I gathered everyone. Except the most important person of my life. He doesn't need to know.

. . .


"Looks like you're all here...except for Foxy and Chica..." I started.

'"What is happening Mangle? Why have you been absent for the past week without calling any of us!" Bonbon called out.

I looked at them. One by one. I sighed. "Fine. I'll explain everything. But you all have to listen very carefully because I'm not going to say this again.

They waited for answers.

And answers is what they're going to have.

"Everyone...I...have regained all of my memories."









"WHAT THE FU-Ow!" 

"Shut it, Bonnie!" Bonbon shouted after elbowing Bonnie on his sides.

"I can't help it!" he complained. Bonbon ignored him and went closer to Mangle.

"Did...you really remember...everything?" 

Mangle could only nod as she smiled. "I'm...very sorry for the inconvenience I caused all of you."

No one spoke. Bonbon cried. So did Bonnie.

"Why are you crying?!" Bonbon asked Bonnie.

"S-shut up! I'm a very emotional person!"

Mangle hugged them both and continued in saying her apologies.

After a few minutes...

"What a hog," Bonbon scoffed.

"What was that?!"

"Nothing..." She rolled her eyes.

"Here we go again." Chichi sighed.

"So...why didn't you tell Foxy?" Springtrap asked. Mangle lowered her head.

"I put him through a lot of pain already. And...he loves Chica."

"My sister? What did he see in her?" Chichi thought out loud.

"Anyway, I want all of you the only persons to know I've regained all of my memories," Mangle told them.

"Why?" they chorused except for Mangle.

"I won't give up on Foxy." She smiled. It's been so long since she smiled like that. "I don't want him to give me pity and go back on what he told me back then. I know that his feelings have changed. And right now, I won't care about the past. I'll focus on what's in front of me. So, I just have to not give up, right?"

Bonbon hugged Mangle. 

"So basically, you'll keep on pursuing the love of you dreams, right?" Chichi asked.

"It's easy." They all glanced at Freddy who spoke for the first time. Marionette was beside him. "All  you have to do is to make him realize he doesn't really love Chica, right?" Mary added.

"Then, it's a piece of cake. No one is bound to fall in love with our sister forever," Chichi smirked as she glanced at Freddy.

All the people in the room smiled. It was just another beginning.
