Chapter Text
glamrock freddy
beau was afraid to meet the animatronics, but freddy was the first to come to his greenroom and introduce himself. freddy had a compassionate and enjoyable air about him, allowing beau to drop his guard a little.
“i’m glamrock freddy, welcome to the roster superstar! we’re glad to have you here.”
“beau. glad to be here. thanks for having me boss!” maybe all of the animatronics would be like him? boy was beau mistaken.
”let’s introduce you to the others. you’ll enjoy them. monty and roxy both have tempers but it shouldn’t be too bad! i’ll take you to the atrium to meet the other three then i’ll have to get going.” freddy said with a hearty laugh.
”alright.. um.. actually, can i meet sun and moon first?” beau hesitated.
”oh, no problem! i’ll take you there, meet the glamrocks in the atrium after!”
sun and moon
sun was skipping about the daycare, as happy as can be. not noticing beau, he jumped off of a platform above the ballpit.
”sun?”
sun gasped, popping out of the ballpit.
“A NEW FRIEND? NO WAY! i am just so excited! what’s your name? what’s your name?”
sun was loud but that didn’t bother beau.
“beau. nice to meet you sun. where’s this moon fella i hear about so much?”
”oh no no no. you DON’T wanna meet moony. moony is ANGRY”
”okay okay, sorry sunny. but.. when can i meet him?”
”the lights turn off in a few minutes! but you DON’T wanna be on moony’s bad side.”
beau leaned against a wall in the daycare waiting for the lights to go off. once they did, beau panicked. he watched what once was sun make his way over.
”what do we have hereeeee? a newwww toyyyyy?”
“i’m beau, it’s nice to meet you moon.”
”beauuu. what a nice nameeeee. get out of here so i can wanderrrrr.”
so far, so good, thought beau. he left moon to his activities to meet the glamrocks in the atrium.
chica
while making his was to the atrium, beau encountered chica. she was digging through the trash.
“uhhh.. chica? is that you?”
”huh?! oh. well what do we have here? looks like trash washed up on my shores.”
beau laughed.
“hmm?? you thought i was joking? oh you naive thing.”
”heh.. i’m beau.. i’m new here and i just came to introduce myself.. um, what’s with the hostility?”
”don’t you know? we hate you here, despise you. you are a replacement. nothing more!”
the word replacement felt like a stab to the stomach. the word repeated in beau’s head as he turned and walked away. why? why do they hate me? what did i do wrong?
”yeah, you run away. COWARD.” chica yelled after him.
bubbles
beau was stuck in his head when all of the sudden he walked into something. a chair maybe? one of those security bots?
“HEY. watch where you’re fucking going dude! jesus christ!” the little figure in front of him shouted.
”i-i’m sorry. i wasn’t paying attention. um.. you are..?”
“pay more attention next time” the small bunny kicked his shin lightly. ”bubbles. you’re the new animatronic?”
”yeah. beau is my name.”
”beau. alright.” she looked up at the large great white shark animatronic and surveyed his features slowly. hesitance showing, she took a step back.
”i know i’m scary, i’ve been told. sorry, i’ll get out of here.” he said before making a break for the atrium.
the thing is, she didn’t think he was scary at all. she saw something in him that reminded her of an old friend.
“i can’t let him out of my sight.” she said before dashing after him.
roxy and monty
beau walked through the huge atrium to find two animatronics waiting for him in the center. that must be roxy and monty, he thought. he made his way over.
”hello! i’m beau. it’s nice to meet you both.”
”beau.. hmmm.” monty said, venom in his words.
”what a tall shark.. should we do it, monty?” roxy mumbled.
”let’s go for it.”
before beau knew what was happening he was on the ground, being torn apart.
what did i do to deserve this? is it.. my fault? it’s all my fault. i deserve this. but it’s.. only my first week here. what if.. i can’t protect the kids? it’s okay. i wasn’t cut out for this job anyway. i’m just a replacement. it’s all my fault. i deserve it. it’s all my fault. i deserve it..
“BEAU! BEAU! COME ON BEAU, GET UP!” bubbles screamed.
“i deserve this.” beau mumbled before allowing his systems to shut down.
beau had been decommissioned for the time being.
within a month, beau was back, with a shiny new casing, and the same sense of estrangement he had felt before he was torn to shreds.
beau was deadset on proving himself, no matter what it took. but first, he had to see bubbles.
stretching out, and flexing his new limbs, beau got out of the chair. he quickly said bye to the mechanic and headed to bubbles’ greenroom.
he knocked on the door.
“yeah?”
”it’s beau.. can i come in?”
”oh my god.. beau?? come in,”
the door opened and there he was. the one that was ripped to shreds, yet somehow made it back, alive as animatronics can be.
”i.. i thought you were scrapped. i can’t believe you’re here.. in front of me. beau i was so worried.”
”bubbles, i’m fine now. um look. i’m sorry i worried you. and i’m sorry i assumed you didn’t like me. as you can see.. not many of the animatronics here like me much.”
bubbles sighed. “you idiot. can i hug you?”
beau laughed. “yeah, go for it.”
beau lifted bubbles up to his chest. bubbles squeezed him tight, not wanting to let him go.
”you know.. i was so so worried that i’d lose another friend. i’m glad you’re here still. and don’t say you deserved that shit!” bubbles tapped his head with her fist.
”i don’t know what got into me. i know it’s not my fault but i can’t help but think it is. it doesn’t feel like pure coincidence that i was brought in after the incidents with bonnie and foxy.”
”something about you reminds me of bonnie.. he was like a brother really. you both have the same caring, soft nature.”
beau put bubbles down and sat on the floor, listening intently.
”i was hesitant at first. and you did freak me out a little. but something in me decided i needed to keep you in my sight before i could even decide that.”
beau smiled his toothy grin and patted her head.
“i hope we can be friends from now on, bubbles.”
