Golden Freddy x Reader: Everything's Alright

It seemed like ages ago when I last visited the famous "Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria." The memory seemed so close, yet so far that I couldn't put my finger on it until I remembered that single cherished memory from long ago...

*flashback*

It was finally the day I was ten years old! All I ever wanted to do was see the popular Fazbear Gang! Unfortunately, my parents didn't have the money to take me there. One lucky day, though, was the day good news came upon our doorstep.

"Guess what dear?" Mom said, smiling at me with an envelope in her hand. She seemed happier than usual, that must be a good sign.

"What is it momma? Did something good happen today?" I ask, flashing a toothless grin at her.

She beamed, ruffling my hair with a whole-hearted laugh. "Of course dear! Your father and I raised enough money from work to take you to see those fangled animatronics you talk about! Isn't that great?"

I squealed with delight, bouncing around as I continue to beam happily. "Can I invite some of my friends? Please mommy?"

Her cheeks flushed, blushing at the thought. "Of course dear, anything you want. It is your day to be double digits!"

I had planned my party for next week, excited at the thought that I was getting to see the famous gang sing. Maybe they'd even sing a song for me since I was turning ten! I couldn't believe I was going to see my favorite band for my birthday!

A week later....

"We're here darling!" Mother announced, opening the car door for me as if I were royalty.

I squealed, running at full speed toward the entrance. I couldn't wait to get inside! "We're here momma! We're here!" I scream, throwing open the door to find the pizzeria crowded with other kids.

"Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria kiddos! What may I help you with today?" One of the animatronics, Bonnie, announces. "Today will be a fun-filled day for all!"

I inch my way toward the stage, excited to finally meet my heroes! "I love you guys, you're amazing!" I yell, making sure that they could hear me.

"What's your name cutie pie?" Chica asks, cupcake in hand.

I take a minute to think, "My name's Angie! Nice to meet you guys!"

"Angie? What a beautiful name for a pretty lass." Foxy announces, coming out of his cove with a wide grin. "I think this lass is turning a year older, isn't that right?"

I blush, "I am! I'm actually turning ten today Foxy! I'm going to be double digits!"

"Double digits?" Freddy says, smiling at me while holding onto his microphone. "I think that deserves a special visit from my big brother, Golden Freddy!"

Golden Freddy steps in front of the curtains, waving and smiling at all of the kids. Golden Freddy looked much like his younger brother, except with gold fur instead of brown. This bear was honestly my favorite out of all of them so far!

"Why hello sweetie!" Golden Freddy bellows, turning his attention to little Angie. "I heard you're turning ten today! That's amazing!"

I giggle, happy that he noticed me. "I am Mr. Golden Freddy!"

Golden Freddy's face softened at the mention of his name. "You can call me Goldie for short, that's what my friends call me. That makes us friends now, right?"

I squeal in delight, "Of course we're friends Goldie! My name's actually Angelica but everyone just calls me Angie for short!"

Goldie smiled, happy that he had a new friend. "Well, that makes us best friends then! Why don't we go have some fun, Angie!"

I spent the whole day with my new friend, laughing over who got the last slice of pizza when Chica nearly ate all of it. Finally, it was time to go. Goldie hugged me goodbye and told me that he insisted that I come visit again sometime. I kept his promise, but never fulfilled it....

*end of flashback*

I hugged the Golden Freddy plushie close to me, as if I could feel his pain from not seeing me after all these years. I kept his promise this whole time, now I just needed to fulfill it. Mom has promised again and again to take me there, but she was always too ill to take me. She died last week to cancer, the worst of sicknesses. I couldn't help but crying over her, wishing that there was some way to take away the pain and bring her back. Maybe my only true friend, Goldie, would bring me out of this pit of despair.

Short steps, deep breath
Everything is alright
Chin up, I can't
Step into the spotlight

The car started without trying, insisting that this was my only choice. The thing was, did Goldie even remember our promise? If he did, did he think I broke it? Discarded tissues were sprawled across the passenger seat, the only evidence of my shattered remains. The golden plushie sat beside me, reminding me that I wasn't truly alone in this world. And with that, I began my journey to where I left my childhood.

She said, "I'm sad,"
Somehow without any words
I just stood there
Searching for an answer

The red lights offered no resistance, only stopping those who were behind me. I made sure my friend, Goldie, was safe in the seat behind me. He was the only thing that reminded me of who was, still, the friend I had since childhood. The friend that I made a promise to, one that I finally would make. The freeway seemed blurry, almost as if it were all out of focus. Nothing mattered besides keeping this promise, the one that'd save me from all of this.

When this world is no more
The moon is all we'll see
I'll ask you to fly away with me

The plushie seemed to inch closer and closer to me every time, as if it were soothing me. Finally, I saw our mission, the pizzeria. It seemed ages away, but really was at least ten minutes away from where I was now. The sky was clear for once, allowing the spectacular view of the late night starts. They were beautiful, like always. The brightest one, in front of me, was the one I had wished on years ago. Of course, I wished for my mother back. That never happened. Instead, it brought me this, the chance to fulfill my promise to my only friend.

Until the stars all fall down
They empty from the sky
But I don't mind
If you're with me, then everything's alright

The home stretch was near, the parking lot nearly inches away from me. I hurriedly made my way into it, choosing the closest spot nearest the entrance. I scooped up the bear, making my way inside the building. This was the moment of truth. This was the moment I have been waiting for since forever. My friend, I have finally made my promise. My friend, I have never truly left you. My friend, I am sorry it has taken me so long to get here.

Why do my words
Always lose their meaning?
What I feel, what I say
There's such a rift between them

I barge in, breathing heavily. I didn't care if the night guard saw me, he knew me well from our childhood play-overs. He knew that he'd one day see me here late at night and knew I was here to make this promise come true for the first time in my life.

"I need," I pant, leaning against his desk. "I need to see Goldie. I need to fulfill this promise. It's the only thing I have left..."

He nods, "I knew I would live to see the day you fulfilled your promise. He's in the storage room, but be careful, he's not the same as he was back then."

I sigh, making my way toward the storage room. I have heard the stories of Goldie's fragile stage. That didn't matter, I was here to make things better than they were now. I was here to be his friend again, the one that never backed down from a fight.

"Goldie old pal," I whisper, opening the storage room door. "I'm here, remember our promise?"

I heard loud shuffling, and the dragging of feet. In front of me appeared Goldie, who's costume was torn and had holes in it. I had never seen him like this, so I turn away. His hand grabs my chin, turning my head so that he could take a good look at me.

He said, "I can't
Really seem to read you."
I just stood there
Never know what I should do

His whispers weren't understandable at first, but then they grow louder. "You're here, really here. You finally came... I thought you never would."

Tears run down my face, and he wipes them away with his hand. "I made a promise, and I intend to keep it. I've been so lonely, Goldie. All along, I had wished for the wrong things on my favorite star. All along, I have meant to wish for you, my friend."

His hands hold mine, desperate for words. "Is it the same star we saw that night when you turned ten?" I nod and he continues, "For so long, I have wished that I could see you again. And here you are now, right here in front of me. What have you been wishing for this entire time, Angie?"

I wipe away the last of my tears and smile at him. "I wanted my mom back, she was my friend. I suddenly remembered that moment that I still had a friend... you."

His smile is the only thing that's keeping me from drowning in tears. "Take me with you, Angie. I'll always be there for you then. You won't ever be alone, I promise."

When this world is no more
The moon is all we'll see
I'll ask you to fly away with me

I laugh, hitching due to the tears in my throat. "I've always had you with me Goldie..." I hold up my plushie, and he smiles at me again.

"I never knew you still had that. Maybe that's the reason I feel as if you were with me. As long as you have that, you have me. You'll always have my heart, my dear Angie." Goldie whispers, tears forming at the corners of his eyes.

I point at the windows, seeing our star, shining brighter than the others. "As long as you look at our star each night before you go to bed, we'll always be together."

Until the stars all fall down
They empty from the sky
But I don't mind

His arms are around me, encasing me in a hug. Our sobs are muffled against each other. "As long as that star shines, then we know we still care."

I laugh, still sobbing. "That star will always shine, then. I'll never stop caring about you, Goldie."

"And I, too, will never stop caring about you." Goldie says, arms tightening around me. We stay like that, never wanting to let go. I don't think we ever do.

If you're with me, then everything's alright
If you're with me, then everything's alright
