Summary
Companion Piece, Goldie and Spring's side.
--
It's senior year for Goldie and his friends, but things turn out much differently this year. A new class called Advanced Senior Science is being instructed by a new teacher named Mike Schmidt, an eccentric doctor who decides to assign their partners this year. And who else does Goldie get but his unofficial enemy, "Springtrap" Salvage? However, something strange is going on with Springtrap and his friends... and if Goldie has to work all year with this guy, he wants to know what it is. Along the way, he discovers things that he otherwise never would have imagined.
Spring is just a socially awkward rabbit who doesn't want to be separated from his friends, but everything gets messed up when he's partnered up with "Goldie" Fazbear. Now, trying to juggle school, friends, taking care of his little brother, doctor visits, and keeping his economic status a secret from his classmates, he must add keeping his nosy partner in the dark on top of everything else. That becomes a little hard when he begins to realize this popular guy isn't nearly as bad as he had always thought, and without even realizing it he begins opening up his world to him.

Summary
Companion Piece, Freddy and Alfred's side.
--
Freddy Fazbear has always had it pretty easy in life; with a loving family and wonderful friends, he never really understood that there were people less fortunate. However, when his new, eccentric science teacher assigns him to be Alfred Fischbach's lab partner, he begins noticing certain things about the other bear. He's quiet and withdrawn, yet there's a fire in his eyes and a bruise around his wrist that looks suspiciously like a handprint. Despite everything he has ever felt about the other, Freddy finds himself very concerned for his new lab partner.
Alfred could never claim to have a good life, with a drunk father and an uncaring mother and a strange inability to say what he wanted to say, but he honestly believed he had the best friends in the entire world. He didn't need anyone else... so when the "Fazcrew" begin poking around in their lives, he does not appreciate it. He especially does not appreciate it when he finds himself becoming friends with them, and when everything starts to unravel before his very eyes, the only ones who could pick up the pieces were the ones pulling the carpet out from under their feet.

Summary
Companion Piece, Bonnie and Blu's Side.
--
Bonnie Henderson was popular, talented, had wonderful friends and loving parents, and he was observant. He never much cared for "Springtrap" and his friends, but when he gets paired up with "Blu" Rodriguez in science, he immediately realizes that something isn't right with the younger rabbit- and by extension, the rabbit's friends. Determined to not be a bystander while his classmates' lives fall apart, he begins getting to know the unpopular, close-knit group and finds that they're actually pretty fun. Now if only he could convince them to get help before it's too late.
Blu was bright and positive and happy. His classmates knew him as the annoyingly optimistic kid. His friends knew it to be him desperately clinging to a reason to live. His friends are the only people he cares about, so when he gets partnered with Bonnie Henderson he is not happy one bit. Unfortunately, his new lab partner is much more observant than he would like. Wanting to keep everything from falling apart, Blu does whatever he can think of to keep Bonnie at a distance, but doing this becomes that much harder when he realizes he actually enjoys the other's company.
