The New Arrival (Chapter Two: The Unexpected)

Catrina walked into the room and looked for the mysterious, shy animatronic she had just talked to, but she was alone.

"That's weird..." Catrina said to herself. She walked out of the room, around a corner, and then stopped. She had almost tripped on what appeared to be a pink cupcake with eyes. Catrina picked up the cupcake and looked around, wondering what to do with it. Suddenly, an animatronic chicken practically leaped out of a room just a few feet away from Catrina. "Where is it?!?" the chicken asked herself frantically.

"Are you looking for this?" Catrina responded, holding up the cupcake with a huge smile on her face.

"You found it!!!" the chicken replied, taking the cupcake. "Thanks!"

"You're welcome!" said Catrina.

"You must be new here..." the chicken added. "I'm Chica!"

"My name's Catrina!" Catrina exclaimed cheerfully. "It's nice to meet you, Chica!"

"It's nice to meet you too, Catrina!" Chica replied. "Would you like me to give you a quick tour of this place?"

"That would be great!" Catrina said in response. "Maybe you could introduce me to everyone else, too! Well, I've already met Bonnie..."

"Now that I think about it..." Chica commented. "Bonnie did mention a silver cat a few minutes ago... but you aren't annoying or clingy at all!"

Catrina froze and stared at Chica intensely.

"Um..." Chica said awkwardly. "Did I do something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Catrina's ice-blue eyes slowly turned golden-yellow, and they were burning with rage. "I'M... NOT... A... CAT..." she hissed. "I'M A WOLF!!!!!!!!"

"You look like a cat to me..." Chica responded, slightly confused.

"SILENCE!!!!!!" Catrina growled.

"Someone must have tampered with your circuits..." Chica said to Catrina sympathetically.

"NOBODY TAMPERED WITH MY CIRCUITS!!!!!" Catrina shouted.

"What's going on?!?" a new voice interrupted. Chica turned around to face the animatronic who had spoken, a brown bear with a black hat and bow tie. The bear looked at Catrina. "And who are you?"

"I'm Catrina..." Catrina responded, her eyes quickly becoming their normal shade of ice-blue again, almost as if her outburst had never occurred in the first place.

"I'll tell you what happened, Freddy..." said Chica. "Catrina over here found my lost cupcake, and I had just remembered that Bonnie had mentioned a silver cat a few minutes before, but then-"

"I'm not a cat, I'm a wolf!" Catrina blurted, her eyes turning yellow again.

"That happened," Chica finished.

Freddy looked at Catrina. "And you're completely sure that no one has tampered with your circuits?" he inquired, sounding slightly amused.

"Positive," Catrina hissed impatiently.

"Interesting," said Freddy. "Well, I can't stay and talk for long... someone made a huge mess in the kitchen..." He laughed a bit. "I bet I know who it was..." he added before walking away.

"Remind me to never try to make a pizza again..." Chica commented, giggling.

"Never try to make a pizza again," Catrina replied, also giggling. Her eyes had faded back to blue.

"Well," said Chica. "You just met Freddy, and you already know Bonnie and I..."

"Bonnie mentioned someone named Foxy..." Catrina responded absentmindedly.

Chica was silent for a few seconds. "I don't think now would be a good time to introduce you to Foxy..."

"Why not?" Catrina asked Chica, incredibly curious.

"Um..." said Chica, unsure of exactly what she should say. She sighed. "Fine. Follow me... but don't be surprised if Foxy seems like he's ignoring you. I mean, he's always been a bit of an introvert... and sometimes antisocial... but for the past week, he's barely talked to anyone." Chica sighed again. "Not even me."

"Did something happen, or is he acting like that for no reason?" Catrina inquired.

"Maybe it would be best if you hear it from Foxy..." Chica replied, walking away and waiting for Catrina to follow her.
