Luna Works at Freddy Fazbear'sby TakzuChaptersNight oneNight twoNight threeNight fourNight fiveNight oneAuthor's Note The position of Proof reader has been filled. Ally of the Daleks is currently going through the chapter and making corrections. Sorry I didn't inform you sooner. I've been organizing my ideas for night two. Night one Bonnie watched as the manager locked up for the night. All of the animatronics at Freddy’s felt a sense of malicious glee. Tonight was Monday night; the first night of the new watchman. He wouldn’t show up until midnight, though. This gave them time to plan just how they were going to toy with their new prey before he met his untimely demise. First, they would wait until the phone message was over and the new guy became unnerved. Once the message was over Bonnie would go on the move. He would move from place to place to cause the night guard to become even more jumpy. Maybe he’d appear at the door and scare the wits out of the watchman. Bonnie loved the look of sheer terror on the poor human’s face. Hey, maybe Chica would join him tonight in scaring the new meat. Midnight finally came around and the sound of the back entrance came across their mechanical ears. Bonnie felt excitement as the phone started to ring and the old guard from “last week” started to speak. He was long winded as his explanation took two hours, but Bonnie could wait as long as it took. He waited for the paranoid guard to check the cameras, but they never came on. This didn’t worry him, though. Some guards waited until the phone message was over before checking the cameras. The message finally ended. Bonnie waited for the cameras to turn on, but they never did. He felt the confusion radiate off of the others. There was a watchman back there, right? Bonnie waited until three, but the cameras stayed off. Finally, he decided to see if there was a guard back there. He stopped by other places on the way there to see if the other cameras were turned on, but they too were off. Bonnie arrived outside the door, ready to scare some sense into whoever it was. He stopped in his tracks at what he saw. Instead of a human, there was an equine of some kind sitting there. She was slightly bigger than a normal sized pony with a midnight blue coat. She also had a dark blue mane and tail that flowed in an invisible breeze. She had a unicorn’s horn and Pegasus wings. She had a dark crown, necklace, and horse shoes. She had a black splotch and a crescent moon on her flanks. Her blue eyes were entranced by a book that was levitating in front of her. Bonnie stood at the door in sheer confusion. Why was there a pony here? What happened to the normal human guard? Why was she reading? Could ponies read? If she could read, could she understand English? If she understood English, did she understand the phone message? If she understood the phone message, why wasn’t she afraid? Question after question entered his mind. He had to go tell Freddy and Chica. He went back to the stage where Freddy and Chica both looked at him, confusion evident in both their faces. “Is there even a guard back there?” Chica asked as Bonnie approached. “Yeah, but it’s definitely not what I was expecting.” Bonnie answered. “What does that mean?” Freddy questioned. “It’s a pony.” Chica and Freddy looked at each other before laughing. Bonnie heard some mechanical garble from Pirate’s cove. Even Foxy was laughing at him. “I’m serious! A blue pony is back there reading a book!” Bonnie exclaimed, only realizing how crazy that sounded after he said it. The laughter increased and Bonnie felt a small rush of anger at his comrades. “If you don’t believe me, go look for yourselves.” He challenged. The laughter subsided and Chica stepped off the stage rolling her eyes. “Okay Bonnie. I’ll go scare the security guard since you seem to be hallucinating.” She patted Bonnie’s back before heading to the back office. ____________________ Luna gazed at the book, fascinated at how Equestrian technology evolved into what they had now. She had 1,000 years of history to catch up on, and she figured that she could read while working as a watchman at a human restaurant. The humans were really desperate to keep a permanent night guard, and Luna offered to do it for free. She could use the quiet of an empty restaurant to read, and it would put the poor human’s minds to rest. Besides, if a burglar dared to show his face, she could scare him away with the Royal Canterlot Voice. She learned last Nightmare Night that no one used it anymore, and it scared the wits out of everypony. So it would definitely scare the wits out of a potential robber. She suddenly heard a gasp from her right and heavy steps running toward the front of the pizzeria. She quickly set the book down and used an illumination spell to light up the hallway. “WHO GOES THERE!?!?!?” she asked loudly. Whoever it was, he ran back to the eating area. She could use the cameras, but she felt like she had to go check it in pony. She trotted back to where the footsteps lead. ____________________ “WHO GOES THERE!?!?!?” He saw Chica run back to her position on the stage right as the loud voice asked the question. “What is it Chica?” he asked, but she didn’t answer as the sound of steps grew louder, and a light came from one of the hallways to the back office. He stood in shock as a pony appeared from the hallway, the light coming from her horn. She moved the light around the room as she looked for the “intruder”. “REVEAL THYSELF, FIEND!” she yelled with a force that scooted some of the tables in front of her. Freddy had no idea what to think as she moved about. Bonnie was right! She is a pony! His surprise increased as she lifted all the tabled and chairs with her magic to look under them. Finding no one, she set them all back down, then glanced at Pirate’s cove. Foxy opened the curtains slightly when the pony first asked who was there. The cracked curtain didn’t go unnoticed. “AHA! WE HAVE YOU NOW!” she exclaimed as she pulled the curtains back with her magic. Even with Foxy’s jaw being broken, he could see surprise etched on his face. The pony got on the Pirate’s Cove stage and looked around. She checked the smallest crevice looking for the nonexistent robber. After a few minutes of checking, she jumped down and closed the curtains behind her. Freddy watched as she trotted over towards them and looked around them. She got up on stage and continued her search. He made sure to not move when she checked around him. She moved backstage after finding nothing on stage. He shared glances with Bonnie and Chica as they heard her rustling around backstage. Out of all the things they came across over the years, this was by far the strangest. A pony night guard that wasn’t even afraid of them? He didn’t know such a thing existed. The pony appeared from backstage after her search proved fruitless. She sat and hummed, as if she were deep in thought. She jumped and ran off toward the kitchen with a loud “AHA!” They stayed still until she disappeared from sight. “Wow, you weren’t kidding.” Freddy said apologetically. “Told ya so!” Bonnie rubbed it in. “Pony or not, she needs to learn her place!” Chica said getting off stage. “You going to follow her?” he asked. “You bet!” Chica said as she followed the mysterious, blue pony. Freddy felt himself smile. Things would be back to normal soon. ____________________ Luna checked the Kitchen just as thoroughly as she did the stages and eating area, and still there was no one there. She sighed and turned back to the hallway. She knew she heard something earlier. She still had the broom closet and bathrooms to check. She jumped slightly when she saw the duck animatronic right next to her. It looked down at her with an open mouth and wide eyes. She didn’t expect it to be right there, and her wings puffed out in fright. After a second she folded them back and chuckled at her own stupidity. “We almost forgot that you moved around at night. At least that’s what the previous night watchman said.” She patted the belly with a hoof. “Don’t worry, we’ll find that mean intruder for you!” She turned around and heard the machine follow her. She stopped and turned back to face the duck. “Oh, you wish to follow us? Very well then, uh… What was thy name again?” She rubbed her chin in thought. “Oh yeah! Chicky! Come then, Chicky! You shall be our companion in the hunt for the foolish intruder!” She started to walk away and noticed that footsteps didn’t follow. She turned and saw Chicky stuck to where she was. Somehow she was radiating anger. “Chicky? Art thou- we mean, are you okay?” She asked correcting herself. Celestia has told her time and time again that the speech patterns were much different from 1,000 years ago, and that some might not understand her. She tried to correct herself when she did, but old habits die hard. She stilled used the Royal “We” to show respect to the singing animatronics like the message told her to. She jumped aside as Chicky rushed at her screaming. She was confused for a second before she finally understood. “Oh! You wish to play tag with us! Alright! Thou art it!” she ran off toward the eating area with Chicky at her heels. ____________________ Bonnie waited for Chica to return with news of success. The pony needed to know that they were to be feared. Where was the fun if the night guard wasn’t trembling out of terror? He smiled when he heard the tell-tale scream of one of them getting the watchmen, or watchpony. His smile faded when the pony reappeared into the eating area with a playful expression on her face. Chica, on the other hand, was furious and was trying to maim the equine she was chasing. “We bet you can’t catch us, Chicky!” she taunted as she stayed just out of arm’s reach. He heard Freddy chuckle at the mispronunciation of Chica’s name. Bonnie couldn’t help but join in. He noticed Chica shoot them a dark look before focusing all of her attention on the mare in front of her. It was obvious that the pony wasn’t using her full speed, and was going slow just to tease Chica. This was no surprise, since Chica was the slowest out of all of them. The chase lasted for about thirty minutes, when the clock played the chime to let all of them know that it was 6 o’clock A.M. “Aw, it appears we have to cut the game short, Chicky. You need to go back on stage with Freddy and Bonbon, and I need to go lower the moon.” The pony said pouting. Freddy laughed at Bonnie’s new nickname, and Chica stomped angrily back on stage. All three of them watched as the pony moved to the back of the building and the manager unlocked the doors. “Have fun, Chicky?” Bonnie muttered so the manager wouldn’t hear. “Shut up, Bonbon!” Chica muttered back. Bonnie frowned, but didn’t answer. Tonight didn’t go as planned, but now they knew what to expect. Not only that, but they also had all day to plan for tomorrow night. Night twoLuna walked through the back door to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza and sighed. Yesterday she was distracted by the intruder and Chicky, and couldn’t finish reading. She hoped that tonight would be uneventful, and let her finish her book. She trotted to her office when the phone started ringing. It must be the previous night guard giving her more tips. She hoped that the message would be shorter than yesterday. He had helpful advice for her, but the part about the animatronics mistaking her for an endoskeleton was absurd. If she was a human she would be afraid, but she was a pony for Celestia’s sake! She looked nothing like the endoskeletons used for the animatronics! She sat down as the guy started his message. He congratulated her for making it to the second night and told her to check the cameras while he talked. She rolled her eyes at this. He then told her about the lights outside her door and how the blind spots of the cameras were right outside them. Did no one tell him that his successor would be a pony? She had nothing to worry about. He warned her about Pirate Cove, and that the fox was apparently camera shy. She had to keep looking at him to make sure he didn’t leave. Luna raised an eyebrow at this. Out of order or not, the fox was still a part of the team and deserved the same rights as the rest. Just because he was broken didn’t mean he wanted to stay cooped up in one place. If he wanted to walk around she would let him walk around. The old night guard said his goodbyes and ended the message. Luna pulled her book from under her wing and picked up where she left off. About 100 years after her banishment, ponies discovered that electricity could be harnessed through lightning. They used this new discovery to make machines and to power them. Luna was fascinated by this. She didn’t know her beloved hot tub and television were powered by lightning. She would have to keep this in mind when- “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” screamed the fox who suddenly appeared to her left. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” she screamed back shooting a fireball at him. The fireball exploded on his shoulder and caused his arm to break off from the rest of him. They both stood in stunned silence. Luna picked up the now severed robotic limb with her magic and smiled sheepishly at him. “We’re terribly sorry. We have a tendency to use attack spells when we’re startled badly. If thou- we mean if you hold still we can fix it for you.” She said apologetically. The fox stared at her with wide eyes. He started to slowly back out of the room before he sprinted back down the hallway. “Wait! Come back!” Luna yelled as she gave chase. She chased the fox around the main eating area, the broken arm trailing right behind her. She tried to run, but he proved to be too fast, so she encased him in magic and tried to pull him toward her. He grabbed ahold of the bathroom entrance, though, and refused to budge. Luna pulled harder, but the fox was in such disrepair that the joints had grown weak and his other arm started to tear off. With one last hard yank the arm was ripped completely off and the fox was sent flying. Luna picked up the other arm she had accidentally severed. “Sorry! Just hold still, and we will fix this!” Luna said as she pulled the fox closer to her. She set to repairing the arms. She made sure to reconnect the wires so he could move them, and she repaired the broken metal so it was as good as new. She even reinforced the metal so it wouldn’t break so easily next time. She finished and looked at a job well done. It was then she realized that she had placed the arms in the wrong slots… and backwards. “Oops! Sorry! We’ll just break off the arms and place them in correctly.” She said apologetically once more. Just as she was about to, though, she heard metallic footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Chicky standing over her. “Oh, hello Chicky! Doest thou wish to continue our game from yesterday?” The duck didn’t reply. Instead, she picked up Luna and started to carry her backstage. Luna was confused, but decided to go with it. She watched from under Chicky’s arm as they approached an empty Freddy suit. Chicky pulled the head off and went to stuff Luna inside. Thinking quickly, Luna cast a teleportation spell and in a bright flash, disappeared from Chicky’s arms and reappeared behind her. “Oh, we’re sorry! We’re not an endoskeleton. We figured our equine figure would have tipped you off.” Luna said as Chicky whirled around in shock. The duck animatronic stood there gaping at Luna. She looked down and began to shake, which worried Luna. “Chicky?” The name snapped the animatronic out of her trance, and with a scream she lunged at Luna. Luna quickly flew out of reach and watched as Chicky grabbed a spare Freddy head and threw it at her. “No Chicky! That’s a bad animatronic!” Luna used her magic to push the flying head out of the way. She encased Chicky in magic and began to lead her away. “We do not throw things! Perhaps a time out is in order.” Luna dragged the poor duck to the broom closet and threw her in. She then slammed the door, locked it, and put and unbreakable spell over the door. She heard the screams from the other side as Chicky began banging on the door. “Stay in there and think about what thou hast done!” Luna said as she began to trot away from the angry, trapped robot. She moved checked the front of the store to fix the fox's arms, but he was nowhere to be seen. She guess that he was in Pirate Cove and went to check. She flew the curtains back, but he wasn't there. After a sweep through of the whole restaurant, she gave up and went back to her reading. ____________________ Bonnie watched in amazement as the pony dragged Chica away with magic. First, she breaks both of Foxy’s arms and places them in the wrong way, and now she’s giving Chica a time out. Bonnie got the strong feeling that they underestimated their opponent again. He watched in silence as the mare looked around for Foxy. He doubted she'd find him. Foxy hurried to a nearby air vent and hid after Chica pulled the pony away. After looking in each room she gave up. He guessed that she went back to finish the book she was reading yesterday. “Hey, Freddy,” the bear turned to look at him, “I think we’re in way over our heads with this one.” “Are you admitting defeat?” Freddy said as he narrowed his eyes. “You saw what she did with Foxy and Chica! She can easily overthrow us!” “The week is still young, and I have more tricks up my sleeve.” Bonnie sighed deeply. Asking Freddy to back off was like asking your reflection to pass the salt. Sure he could argue his case further, but it would just end with them angry at each other for who knows how long. Bonnie knew from experience that being mad at someone you’re stuck with day and night was not fun. He relented and decided to convince Freddy to err on the side of caution. “We need to be overly cautious. We thought we had her because she was a pony, but look at what she’s done! Foxy’s arms are backwards and Chica was put in time out!” Freddy hummed as he appeared to be in thought. After a few minutes, he smiled an evil smile and looked at Bonnie with an air of sadism about him. One glance at his expression told Bonnie what he was thinking. Golden Freddy. None of the animatronics ever saw Golden Freddy, but they knew he was most active on night three. There was only problem though…. “How are we going to get her to look through the cameras?” Bonnie asked. “Just leave that to me.” Freddy said darkly before letting out one of his infamous laughs. Bonnie was still unsure if Freddy was underestimating her still, but Golden Freddy had frightened, if not killed, countless security guards. Maybe, just maybe, Golden Freddy would put a dent through the pony’s naïve outlook on them. It was something at least, but he still felt like he needed to prepare for a backfire. And prepare he shall. The chimes sounded, letting them know that 6 o’clock had arrived. Chica was let out of the closet and she stomped back to the stage with murderous intent in her eyes. Bonnie knew it would take little to no convincing to have her agree on the plan, whatever it was. Tomorrow night was going to be interesting indeed. Night threeAuthor's Note Here is the long awaited Night Three! I know all of you were patient, and I thank you for it. I promise I'll try harder to get the next chapter done quicker. My usual proofreader wasn't on today, but God of Physics offered to read over it. It was finished Thursday and I figured you guys waited long enough. So without further ado, Night three! Night three Luna opened her balcony doors and breathed in the cool night air. It was almost time to head over to the pizzeria and begin her night shift. She hoped that she’d get more reading done this time; the past two nights had been interrupted. She was about to take flight when she heard a knock at her door. “Come in!” she called The double doors opened to reveal her older sister, Celestia, who looked over Luna with an amused grin. “Is it time to go to the human restaurant?” She asked looking down at Luna. “Indeed it is, Sister!” Luna chirped. “And, I assume the costume is part of it?” Celestia asked with a raised eyebrow. Luna looked down at the Freddy Fazbear costume she was wearing. Her face was poking out of the mouth of the costume, and her tail flowed out of a hole on the rear. She also had holes for her wings so she could fly. “Well, the animatronics roam around at night. And we were told that they might mistake us for an endoskeleton and try to stuff us in a suit, which would end in death. We figured that our equine look would tip off that we weren’t an endoskeleton, but Chicky-“ “Chicky?” Celestia interrupted. “It’s the name of the duck animatronic.” Luna answered. “I think you mean ‘Chica’. And she’s a chicken, not a duck.” “Oh. Wait! How doest thou know this?” “It was in the ‘Welcome to the Freddy Family’ pamphlet you didn’t read.” Celestia levitated a small pamphlet in front of Luna. Luna looked at the pamphlet and felt hot from embarrassment. She had called Chica “Chicky” several times in the past two nights. She’d have to make amends with the chicken tonight. “Anyways, you were saying?” Celestia prompted for Luna to continue. “Right! Chica mistook us for an endoskeleton yesterday, so we figured that we’d better be safe than sorry.” Luna finished. Celestia frowned and appeared to be in thought. After she stood there for a few seconds she looked at Luna and asked, “Did they do anything else?” “Well the fox scared the living moonlight out of us and we accidentally blasted his arm off. Oh, and Chica played tag with us on the first night!” Celestia’s frown deepened at this new bit of info. Luna could see the wheels turning in her mind as she thought about whatever it was that was troubling her. Celestia studied Luna for a few seconds and appeared to have come to a decision in her internal debate. “I want you to take your guards with you tonight.” Celestia said with the authority of an elder sister. “What?! Why?!” “Look, it’s obvious that there’s something more to this than meets the eye.” Celestia said. “There is?” Luna asked completely dumfounded. “Yes! Luna, you are an alicorn princess! You look nothing like an endoskeleton!” “We thought so too, but yesterday proved that anything not in a Freddy suit looked like an endoskeleton to them.” Celestia gave her an ‘are-you-kidding-me’ look. “What?” Luna asked at her sister’s expression. Celestia shook her head and said, “I don’t even want to know. You’re still taking the guards with you though.” “Tiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaa! We are more than capable of handling the robots ourselves!” Luna whined. “Luna,” Celestia sighed, “bring them along for my sake. Please? It will put my mind at ease knowing that my little sister is safe.” “We don’t need to be watched over like a filly.” Luna pouted and Celestia sighed. “They don’t have to be in the building with you. They can be outside. I just want somepony else there if things get dangerous.” “Why would things get dangerous?” Luna asked in genuine curiosity. Sure they mistook her for an endoskeleton, but the costume she was wearing would rectify that. What other danger could there be? “It’s just a feeling I have. Please, Luna. Bring them with you so I can rest easy.” Celestia pleaded. Luna groaned and mulled it over in her mind. Tia was being very over protective and paranoid, but she did say the guards can be outside the building. But she was being treated like a foal! She didn’t need babysitters! But Celestia seemed to be troubled about her going alone, and she didn’t want to worry her sister. She guessed that guards being outside wouldn’t hurt, and it would keep intruders from getting in. Luna sighed and said, “Okay, we’ll bring them with us.” “Thank you, Luna. I only asked of this because I care.” Celestia said with great relief. Luna call in two of her night guards, Night Breeze and Moon Dancer. She engulfed them in her magic and in a bright flash, they were both wearing a Chica and Bonbon costume is a similar fashion to hers. “You gave them costumes too?” Celestia asked. “Every Freddy needs a Chica and Bonbon.” Luna shrugged. “Bonnie.” Celestia corrected. “What?” “The rabbit is called Bonnie. You should really read this pamphlet.” Celestia put said object on top of the book Luna was reading. “Fine, we’ll read it as soon as we get there.” Luna turned around and walked to her balcony with her guards following behind. “Have a safe trip.” Celestia called before exiting the room. Luna rolled her eyes at her sister’s overprotectiveness, and took flight. ___at the restaurant___ All three ponies landed just outside of the back door. Once they landed, Luna turned to the two guards. “Survey the perimeter and keep intruders from entering.” She commanded them. “Yes, your highness.” the two guards said simultaneously and began trotting around the building with watchful eyes. Luna walked in a bit later than normal so it didn’t surprise her when she heard the phone call ending as she walked in. What did surprise her was a small trip wire across the opening to the office. She had been in enough prank wars with Celestia to know that they meant mischief. She smirked to herself for learning to spot them easy enough. After all, she had several buckets of water poured down on her because of her carelessness. She moved to the side of the doorway and pulled the string with her magic. A bucket fell, like she expected, but the contents were red in color and had a spicy smell to it. This wasn’t water. She carefully bent down and licked some of the mysterious liquid. It was hot sauce! That seemed dangerous. She knew from past experience that hot sauce in the eyes wasn’t fun. She stepped around the puddle cautiously, and peered into the room. She also learned from her pranks with Tia that when there was a bucket of something, another prank followed. She saw a banana peel in front of her and another trip wire on the other side. She obviously was supposed to be blinded by the hot sauce and step onto the banana peel. The banana peel would’ve caused her to slip and go to the other trip wire. She put the banana peel in the waste basket and stood way back from the other trip wire. If the first one was hot sauce, she wanted to be overly cautious with the second one. She used her magic to activate the trip wire, and nearly jumped out of her skin when flames suddenly appeared. She let go with her magic and the flames disappeared. She took a few deep breaths to slow her rapidly pacing heart. Who set up these “pranks”? They were super dangerous! Pranks were supposed to be light hearted and fun, while this was borderline murderous! Maybe Tia was right about something more going on here. She cautiously stepped over the other trip wire and saw a flame thrower rigged up to the trip wire. She carefully removed the flame thrower from its spot hanging from the ceiling. She untied the strings around it so it wouldn’t activate. After it was free from the string’s clutches, she gently levitated it to her face and turned it away from her. If there were traps like these, then there had to be others around the establishment. She had to go and check, but the smell of hot sauce was strong. She had to get that cleaned up first. She was suddenly thankful for having guards there. She walked to the back door and called for them. They were in front of her immediately. “There is hot sauce all over the ground. We need you two to clean it up. We have some investigating to do.” She said waving the flame thrower for emphasis. They saluted her and followed her inside. ____________________ Bonnie knew from the lack of screaming that the pony didn’t fall for the traps. He knew deep down that she would somehow find a way around it. That was how the entire week had been so far. He just hoped that Freddy would realize that they bit off more than they could chew after tonight. He saw as the mare emerged from the hallway with the flame thrower hovering around her. He was surprised to see that she was wearing a Freddy Fazbear costume. She was looking at everything closely, as if she were expecting another trap. She should expect another trap, too. The entire place was rigged with deadly traps, courtesy of Freddy’s twisted mind. The sound of screams were heard from the broom closet. The pony immediately turned around and dashed toward the broom closet. Bonnie looked at the other two in confusion. Were there more ponies? The sound of voices were heard from the hall, and three figures emerged. One was the pony they had been trying to terrorize, while the other two appeared to be her guards. They had grey pelts and wore Chica and Bonnie costumes. They had yellow eyes with narrow pupils that reminded Bonnie of a dragon.. Tufts of fur tipped their ears and bat wings were folded on their sides. The one dressed as him was holding a bucked in his mouth while the other carried a mop. They were unharmed, from the looks of it. It was apparent that they had fast reflexes. They stood in front of the bigger pony, as if they were trying to protect her. The mare was now levitating the many knives they used to booby trap the broom closet, and she looked livid. Bonnie felt an emotion he was used to seeing, but not used to feeling: fear. He knew that the pony was powerful enough when she was just minding her own business. How much more powerful would she be when she was angry? Bonnie didn’t want to find out. The pony looked at the three animatronics with an air if suspicion, but she turned away and watched her surrounding as she took the lead towards the kitchen. “Your highness, let us lead the way. It’s our job to protect you.” Said the one with the bucket, having put down said bucket to speak. Your highness? This pony was royalty? That would explain the crown, but why was a monarch acting as a security guard for a rundown pizzeria? “Nay, we have experience with spotting potential ‘pranks.’ We shall be first.” She said commandingly. “Yes, Princess Luna.” The other two saluted. Luna approached the kitchen door and studied it. She looked at it up and down, and appeared to have spotted something. The pony princess stood back and pushed the slightly open door all the way open. The guard’s eyes widened as three bowling balls fell with a loud crash. The guards quickly stepped in before the princess could do anything, and took the lead. Luna rolled her eyes before following them inside. While the ponies were in the kitchen, Chica ran into the bathroom to set up the traps in there. They only had time to set up the other traps before it was midnight. It wasn’t until Luna’s late arrival that they realized that they could have spent more time setting them up. Bonnie was really regretting the traps, though. Luna only seemed to get angrier with each new trap she found. If they survived tonight, he was going to make sure Freddy stopped with the games before the pony decided she had enough of them. It sounded like they were wrapping it up in the kitchen, and Chica wasn’t back yet. Bonnie was starting to get anxious. Luna suspected them, but she didn’t know for sure that it was them. If Chica was caught in the act it was all over. The ponies stepped out of the kitchen just as Chica stepped out of the bathroom. The guards were instantly in front of Chica, ready to attack, when Luna stopped them. “The robots walk around at night. Stand down.” She commanded before the guards returned to her side. Chica quickly walked back to her spot on the stage, smiling like a mad woman. Luna eyed them for a few minutes before walking toward the bathroom, the guards following her. “Go clean up the mess. We can handle the bathrooms.” She told the two. “But, your highness-“ “That’s an order.” She interrupted. The guards reluctantly saluted and went to get the discarded bucket and mop. Luna turned back around and walked into the bathroom. The guards walked into the hallway. It was silent for a few seconds before the sound of a chain saw erupted from the bathrooms, followed by a yelp of surprise and an explosion. The guards instantly flew toward the bathroom to see if their princess was alright. Luna stepped out of the bathrooms with a broken chainsaw levitating around her. She was glaring at the animatronics while the two guards looked her over. “We’re fine, but I need to discuss something with my charges!” she told the two. They noticed the change from “we” to “I” and galloped back to the hallway. It apparently meant something, and Bonnie had a feeling that it wasn’t good. She stomped up to them and threw the now useless chain saw at Freddy’s feet. She glared at them and Bonnie felt like he was three inches tall. “This is not funny. Hurting ponies is not funny. Harmless pranks that don’t cause death or injury is funny. If the bucket was filled with water, it would be funny. THIS IS NOT FUNNY!” she took a deep breath and leveled a glare. “Somepony could have died tonight because of you three. I’m going to help my guards with the mess YOU made. In the meantime, I want you to think about what you have done. I’ll be checking on you periodically, so don’t even think about setting up another prank.” She stormed off after that and headed back toward the hallway. “Now she will definitely check the cameras.” Freddy said with a self-satisfied smile. Chica looked a bit shaken up after the harshness Luna had showed in her voice and expression. Maybe Chica was starting to turn around now. With her help, maybe they could talk some sense into Freddy. ____________________ Luna checked the camera for what felt like the hundredth time that night. Freddy was missing, again. She searched through the cameras and found him near the bathrooms. “FREDDY, GET BACK TO YOUR POST NOW!” the animatronic walked back to his spot on stage. She was sure that the guards outside were worried sick. It had taken her twenty minutes to convince them to go back outside. Even then, they were reluctant about leaving her alone. She had a feeling that they were going to tell Celestia about tonight and that they would be ordered to stick to her like glue tomorrow. She was absolutely furious with the animatronics, though. They were around kids daily. They should know the difference between a practical joke, and an attempted murder. She had put all of them on time out at their spots on the stage, but Freddy kept wanting to wander off. She was half-way tempted to hold him down the rest of the night, but she didn’t want to break him accidentally like Foxy. She wondered where the pirate animatronic went. ____________________ Somewhere in the ventilation shafts of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, Foxy was lying on his side and staring at a spider’s web. Foxy no longer felt safe at pirate cove. The she-demon disguised as a pony, could easily find him there, but the ventilation shafts were like a maze. It would take days for her to find him. He was now truly alone. Well, not truly alone, he had Hilda. Hilda was a black widow spider he befriended. She was the only one to ever understand him, and since he was a robot, she couldn’t kill him. He was excited for Hilda, because she had an egg sac in the corner of her web. He couldn’t wait to meet the new spiders and have them become his army of taking back the establishment. He only had to play the waiting game. ____________________ Luna shrugged. He was bound to be within the building. She checked the cameras again and Freddy was gone once more. She searched and found him at the end of the hall on her left. “FREDDY, IF THOU DOESN’T GET BACK TO THE STAGE IMMEDIATELY, I WILL SMITE THEE!” she threatened and heard him retreat. She set the camera down and found another Freddy in front of her. He was golden in color, and was slumped on the floor as if lifeless. He was just looking at her with empty sockets. Luna gasped. ____________________ “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!” Freddy heard the shriek from his position on stage and smiled evilly. She found Golden Freddy. All he had to do was wait for him to finish her off and he would be rid of the annoying pest forever. The restaurant was his once more. He heard the sound of galloping and watched in shock as Luna reappeared with Golden Freddy levitating behind her. The guards from before were at her side and asking her if she was okay. She ignored them and bounded in front of them with shimmering eyes and a large smile. “We accept your peace offering! He is so adorable!” she exclaimed. Freddy’s mind stopped working for a few seconds. She thought that Golden Freddy was…. adorable? Golden Freddy was supposed to strike fear into her very soul, not look cute! He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. She danced around with the lifeless Freddy, and hummed a little tune. “Just wait until Tia sees this! Then she’ll know that you mean well!” she continued to dance. Golden Freddy was looking at him, pleading for help. It was obvious that he didn’t want to stay with the pony, but she had a good grip with her magic. “Come along Goldie, we have an hour left in our shift, and we would like to get some reading done tonight.” She said as she dragged the poor suit away. Freddy couldn’t believe this. She had gotten them at every turn! He’d just have to try harder tomorrow. He was NOT going to let a PONY beat him! In all of his years of terrorizing and killing security guards, he had not met one that he couldn’t beat, and tonight this was no exception. “We need a better plan tomorrow!” he growled to his two companions. “Are you serious?” Chica asked. “Do you WANT her to destroy you?” Bonnie said at the same time as Chica. “Just what are you two saying?” Freddy asked with narrowed eyes. “Have you been here the past two nights? Foxy refuses to come out of the air vents and Golden Freddy is scared of her! Face it! We’re outmatch this time!” Bonnie said sternly. “No! We just need to try harder!” Freddy yelled. “Try harder? We booby trapped the place and she got away without a scratch! The only way we can get rid of her is if we blow the place up! And even then I doubt that she’ll have a mark on her!” Chica said. Freddy couldn’t believe that they turned coward on him. How dare they admit defeat! They were the Freddy Fazbear team! They were unbeatable! And no one, especially a miniature horse, would get the upper hand on them! “How dare you two give up so easily!? So the past few nights haven’t gone according to plan. Big whoop. We just need to up the ante!” Freddy tried to reason with them. Bonnie shook his head and said, “No, we just need to quit while we’re ahead. We almost got our heads torn off when she found us leaving the traps. Just be thankful that she thinks Golden Freddy is a peace offering.” “Bonnie’s right. I hate to admit it, but she’s very powerful. Nothing we do will hurt her.” Chica agreed. “So this is how it’s going to be.” Freddy was now beyond angry. They had betrayed him! Well, fine! He could get rid of that stupid horse all on his own! “How what’s going to be?” Bonnie looked anxious. “If you two are too chicken-“ “Hey!” Chica interrupted. “- to help me get rid of her, then I will do it myself.” Freddy said darkly, completely ignoring Chica’s protest. The two looked at Freddy with a weird expression and sighed. “Fine, I can see that you’re going to have to learn the hard way. Just don’t expect me or Chica to help out in this fruitless endeavor anymore.” Bonnie crossed his arms and looked away with a huff. Chica looked at him sadly before turning away. Freddy was livid. First, that stupid horse showed up and ruined the whole game plan, and now his only friends betrayed him. He would make triple sure that she would get what’s coming to her tomorrow. Right now, he was angry enough to take on Zeus himself. That pony was going down! ____________________ “-and then they gave us this peace offering. Isn’t he cute?!?!” Luna finished her story and levitated the empty Freddy suit to Celestia’s face. Celestia backed away. She didn’t see why Luna thought this thing was cute. It nearly gave her a heart attack when she spotted it at the breakfast table that morning. Oddly enough, though, she felt as if it were pleading for help. “Ah, Luna, are you sure that this didn’t belong to the pizzeria?” Celestia asked, not able to take her eyes away from the empty eyes. “Well, of course it belonged to the pizzeria. It was given to us, though, and now it’s ours.” Luna said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Celestia shook her head and focused on Luna. That was a difficult task since it felt like the suite was boring holes into her skull. “You said that the pranks they set up were dangerous. How dangerous were they?” Celestia said, trying to focus on her sister’s safety. “Let’s see, there were flame throwers, bowling balls, knives, a chainsaw-“ “What?!?!?” Celestia interrupted her sister. She was suspicious that foul play was afoot at the shady restaurant, but now she knew that the animatronics were up to no good. Her sister could have been severely injured, or worse! She didn’t want Luna going there alone anymore. She had to have somepony by her side at all times. She would love it if her sister didn't go there at all. She knew she was being a tad bit overprotective, but she just got her back after a thousand years. She didn't want to lose her again so quickly. “Come on, Tia! They just didn’t know how to play a practical joke! They made up for it with Goldie!” Luna once again held the suit to Celestia’s face. Great, she named it. “Luna,” Celestia pushed away the creepy thing, “I have a really bad feeling about this place. I think you need the guards with you at all times.” “Tiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaa!!!!!” “Luna, last night proved that they are up to something! Robot, or not, it’s just common sense that you don’t use a chainsaw in a ‘prank.’ I only want you to be safe, dear sister.” “We had a feeling that you’d say something of that nature, but we don’t need a foalsitter!” “Luna, if I was the one going, I’d have guards with me. You aren’t being babied. I just want extra assurance that my little sister will make it home safe.” Celestia smiled warmly. Luna looked up at her and said, “Really? You’d have guards with you?” Celestia nodded. “Fine, I’ll have the guards with me.” Luna said in defeat. “By the way, how much have you read on these night shifts?” Celestia was happy to push the subject of the guards away. “Um, almost a full chapter.” Luna deflated. She must have been interrupted constantly to not even get a chapter read. Luna was the second fastest reader Celestia knew, the first being Twilight. This only worried Celestia more. “We were thinking about quitting so we can get some reading done.” Luna admitted. “Oh, really?” Celestia hid her elation at Luna wanting to quit, since she seemed so sad about leaving the pizzeria. “Yeah, we were going to stick it out the rest of the week before quitting. We’re just sad that the humans will have to go back to replacing the night guard on a weekly basis.” Luna frowned at her pancakes. “Oh, I’m sure I can find a good replacement. I have one in mind already.” Celestia said before sipping her coffee. She did too. All it would take is a letter to an acquaintance and they’d be all set. “Really?” Luna perked up at this. Luna jumped across the table and hugged her sister at Celestia’s nod. “Oh, we are most grateful sister! We cannot wait until we can get an entire book read in the night!” Luna’s hug ended and she went back to her seat to eat her breakfast, or dinner, before she went to bed. Celestia was positive that the replacement would definitely keep the animatronics at bay. From what her acquaintance spoke about him, he seemed to be more than capable of handling a pizzeria at night with killer animatronics. Yes, Luna would soon be free of that wretched place, and she could sleep without images of her sister injured or worse going through her head. All she had to do was stick it out the rest of the week. Night fourAuthor's Note Happy late Thanksgiving everypony! This chapter is really just setting things up for tomorrow night, so it probably isn't as funny. The next chapter will be the grand finale, and all of you will finally figure out who the replacement is. I have to say that I laughed when about 94% of the guesses were Discord. I will admit that he was the first to come to mind with me too. But I figured that it would be too obvious, even though it would be funny. Maybe I'll have him work in the second game. I need time to collect my thoughts for the sequel. I promise you all that the one I have chosen to replace Luna will be a complete surprise. However, since my choice is a little unfair I will give you a hint. You could say that the acquaintance is the replacement's "uncle". No more clues until next chapter! Enjoy! Night four Freddy waited by the office, just out of sight. It was almost midnight and the pony should be there soon. He was alone and he intended to not hold back. Not that he was holding back the previous night, but tonight especially. He was extremely angry at that stupid horse for ruining everything. She would pay dearly. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. He peered inside the office and saw the two guards from yesterday still in their costumes. They were followed by the bane of his existence. She was in her costume as well. It took all he had to keep from lunging at her. He couldn’t afford to mess up tonight if he wanted her gone. The sound of the phone ringing caught the ponies’ attention. Freddy knew that this was when they killed the phone guy. He figured that this should get some form of fear out of the horse. He watched their expressions as the call went on. He watch as the guards tried and failed to keep their worry from showing. They jumped slightly when the call ended abruptly. Much to Freddy’s dismay, Luna didn’t seem scared. She seemed sad that the phone guy was dead, but there was no trace of the emotion he so desperately wanted to see on her face. However, the guards seemed unnerved. Freddy smirked at them. Yes, he wanted to get his revenge on the blue pony, but he couldn’t resist playing mind games with the frightened. He would toy with them some, and then get his revenge. He moved to the corner of the east hall and stared deeply into the camera. He let out a laugh and waited for the guards to check the cameras. This was going to be fun. ____________________ Luna sighed sadly. She liked the phone guy. She felt like he was a friend leaving these messages night after night. She wished that he thought of wearing a costume so that he would still be alive. She had hoped to meet him and tell him about her experience being a security guard at the pizzeria. “What was that?” Moon Dancer asked. Luna listened for a second and heard laughter. “Check the camera!” Night Breeze said. They pulled up the camera and saw that Freddy was gone. “Where’s the bear?” Moon Dancer sounded panicked. “Fear not. The animatronics move around at night. Remember?” Luna reminded them. “Oh my Celestia! Find him! Find him quickly!” They rotated cameras and found Freddy. He was close to the camera closest to them on the right, and was inches away from the camera. The two guards yelped and closed the right door. What has gotten into them? “Princess, it isn’t safe here! We have to leave!” Night Breeze tried to push her out the other door, but she stopped them. “What art- we mean, what are you talking about? It’s perfectly safe here! The phone guy died because he wasn’t in a costume. We are, so we’re safe.” Luna pointed out. The guards relaxed some before Freddy started laughing again. They shifted on their hooves anxiously. They were ordered to stay by her side all night, so no matter how much they wanted to leave, they couldn’t. They sighed, resigned to their fate, and checked the camera again. Freddy wasn’t there so they opened to door, and started to look for him. They switched to the stage and saw Bonnie and Chica sitting and playing cards. They stared at the scene in confusion before Freddy’s laugh snapped them out of their trance. They stared to look for the bear animatronic again. Luna levitated the book to her face. She hoped that she could get some reading done tonight. The guards could keep the robots busy while she attempted to finish the book. In the back of her mind, she wondered if they would get to see Foxy. ____________________ Foxy watched as the baby spiders crawled everywhere. They hatched about an hour ago and were busy exploring their home. He was proud of them, as if they were his own. Only an hour old and already able to move so quickly. If he had any tear ducts, he’d cry tears of joy. His army was born and soon they’d take over the family pizza place. ____________________ She hoped he showed up soon. She still needed to fix his arms. The guards’ random yells and the occasional door closing kept breaking her concentration. She would get through part of a sentence before being interrupted. She tried to double her concentration, but that failed too. The guards could be noisy when they put their minds to it. She sighed in defeat and resigned to just watching her guards spazz out. ____________________ “I win again!” Chica gloated for the twentieth time that night. Bonnie sighed and threw his cards in frustration. Playing cards lost its charm after he lost to the chicken the tenth time. He was sure that she was cheating somehow. No one could win constantly. Or Bonnie just sucked at playing Old Maid. “I didn’t know how boring the night could be without an agenda to follow.” Bonnie complained. “I’m having a blast!” Chica said still gloating. “Because you keep winning.” Chica shrugged, “It’s not my fault that you suck at playing Old Maid.” “Let’s do something else.” “Like what? We only have these cards after Freddy destroyed the Monopoly board.” Bonnie leaned forward and scratched his chin. They could play another card game, but Bonnie was going to burn them if Chica won again. Freddy destroyed the only other game they could play after losing Park Place and Boardwalk to Foxy. They could try some of the arcade games, but they would drain the power within thirty minutes. “Why don’t we go talk to Luna?” Chica suggested. “Because Freddy would kill us if we did. Also, we’re afraid of her, remember?” Bonnie dismissed the idea. “But she thought that Golden Freddy was a peace offering. She’s not angry with us anymore, and Freddy is already mad at us. What more damage can we do?” “We tried to kill her the first three nights, though.” “She doesn’t know, and she doesn’t have to find out.” Chica pointed out. She had him there. She was incredibly dense about what their intentions were. If they kept that illusion up, she would be less likely to hurt Freddy. They may not be on the best terms at the moment, but Bonnie cared for Freddy like a brother. They had been through thick and thin, and it would devastate everyone if he was reduced to ash because he ticked off a pony princess. “Alright, let’s go talk to her.” Bonnie got up and took the lead to the back office. They spotted Freddy as he rushed to the bathroom while he laughed like a maniac. Bonnie wondered what he was doing. This couldn’t possibly be his plan. It was proven the past few nights that Luna seemingly feared nothing, so the scare tactic wouldn’t work. They approached the office and were met by a couple of scared guards and a bored Luna. The guards screamed and closed the door before he and Chica could walk in. Every time Freddy laughed and switched places the screams increased in pitch. They almost sounded like a couple of school girls. Bonnie looked a Chica in confusion and decided to knock on the door. There were more screams followed by an annoyed groan. “Enough you two! This is ridiculous!” Luna’s voice was muffled by the door. “Your highness, you aren’t going to let them in, are you?” “You’re draining the power, and besides, they knocked. Tis only polite to let them in.” Luna said as she opened the door. The guards were now huddled together in a corner. Luna looked at them and sighed. “We though you two were tough night guards, ready to take on anything in the Everfree.” Luna said exasperatedly as Bonnie and Chica entered. Chica was munching on popcorn as she looked at the scene in front of her with an air of interest about her. Bonnie wondered where the popcorn came from before dismissing it. He learned not to ask when it came to Chica and her food. To their benefit, the guards were in front of Luna in an instant. They may be scared, but they were loyal to the one they were assigned to protect. They won some admiration from Bonnie for their bravery. “Relax, we only came here to talk.” Bonnie tried to put the guards at ease, but they fainted when he started to talk. “Thou speakest?” Luna asked in a bit of shock. “What?” Chica asked with a mouth full of popcorn. “We meant to say; you talk?” “Oh. Yeah. We talk.” Chica shoved the last of her popcorn in her mouth. “Well, what doest thou want to talk about?” Bonnie shrugged and said, “Whatever you want to talk about. We were bored and decided to pay you a visit.” “Weren’t you playing cards earlier?” Luna asked. “We were, but Chica kept winning.” Bonnie grumbled. “You’re just jealous of my mad skills.” Chica stuck her tongue out at Bonnie. Luna laughed and said, “Well, we’re glad you came to visit before the week ended.” “What happens at the end of this week?” Chica asked. “We quit and a replacement comes in.” “What? You’re leaving?” Bonnie faked sadness but he was relieved deep down. “Yes, we accepted because we were given the impression of being in a quiet restaurant for six hours. We planned on getting some reading done, but we’ve yet to get a full chapter read.” Luna levitated the book for emphasis. “So, who’s the replacement?” Chica asked. Luna shook her head, “We don’t know. Celestia said she knew an acquaintance that could send a good replacement.” Bonnie’s inner relief turned to worry. What if the replacement was more powerful than the mare in front of him? “Who’s Celestia?” Chica didn’t seem bothered by the new bit of info. “Our older sister.” Bonnie listened to Chica and Luna as they talked. He was worried about the replacement. Was it a pony like Luna? Luna said that her sister knew someone who could sent the replacement. Her sister was bound to be a pony as well. He glanced at the unconscious guards. They were ponies. He was certain that he would be a pony. “WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE?!?!?” Freddy yelled, shaking Bonnie out of his thoughts. Freddy was in the east doorway, and he looked angrier than ever. This wasn’t going to end well. ____________________ “WELL?????” Freddy asked the two animatronics in front of him. The cameras were off for a while which prompted Freddy to check up on the guards. He was shocked, betrayed, and angry that the rabbit and chicken that he once called his friends were being chummy with the enemy. “Chica and Bonnie came to visit us. Do you want to join?” the pony chirped from her swivel chair. Freddy heard groaning and spotted the two guards on the ground. They managed to stand and spotted the animatronics before fainting. The larger pony rolled her eyes in annoyance before turning to Freddy and waited for his answer. “Can I talk with you in private?” Bonnie asked. Freddy’s anger only grew. First he turned coward and now he betrayed him. He had no right to address him like that. “No you may not!” Freddy narrowed his eyes at the rabbit. “Freddy, I strongly suggest that you leave and have a talk with Bonnie.” Chica said as she crossed her arms and glared at him. “No, I will not! Have you seen the name in front of the building? It says ‘Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.’ Not ‘Bonnie Bunny’s Pizza’ or ‘Chica Chicken’s Pizza.’ I’m the boss here! You follow my orders; not vice versa!” Freddy was frothing at the mouth. “Yeesh! This is worse than the Monopoly incident.” Bonnie said while Chica face palmed. “Foxy cheated and you two know it!” “Freddy, please calm down. You’re over reacting.” Bonnie tried to sooth the angry bear. “I AM NOT OVER REACTING!” “Yes you are!” Chica shouted. “Am not!” “Are so!” “Am not!” “Are so!” “Am not!” “Are so!” “Am not!” “Are so!” “SILENCE!” The three animatronics turned to the blue pony that stopped the arguing. She was rubbing her temples and had an annoyed look on her face. “We do not know what you are arguing about, but it ends here.” She said in an equally annoyed tone. “Who put you in charge?!?!” Freddy challenged. How dare she try and tell him what to do. She should be cowering at his very presence, not looking at him like a tired mother looks at her disobedient child. She needed to learn her place. “The manager of this establishment. Now we are going to give each of you a chance to plead your case. Do not interrupt when one is talking. Bonnie will go first, then Chica, and then Freddy.” “I refuse to acknowledge your authority!” Freddy wasn’t going to let this abomination of nature outrank him. “You are trying our patience, Freddy.” The pony growled. “Uh, Freddy, I think we should do what she says.” Bonnie whispered. “NO! I will not listen to a traitor like you!” “That’s it!” The pony shouted. Freddy felt himself being lifted into the air. He was being carried to the broom closet by the horse’s magic. “If you won’t listen, then a time out is in order!” She said firmly. Freddy was thrown into the broom closet and heard the door slam and lock after him. He tried to bust the door down, but he found that it wouldn’t budge. He yelled in frustration and slumped against the door. He would have his revenge tomorrow then. No distractions! ____________________ Luna walked back into the office to confront the rabbit and chicken about Freddy. He was being unnecessarily stubborn about something, and she intended to find out what. “Right then,” she sat back in the chair, “explain what that was all about.” “Well, he’s very angry right now.” Bonnie rubbed the back of his neck. “We caught that, but why is he angry?” “Uh, well, most guards looked like endoskeletons, you see, and… uh…” Bonnie looked at Chica for help. “And you didn’t look like one per se. So you threw us off completely, and Freddy really hasn’t been one for change.” Chica finished. So she didn’t look like an endoskeleton. She figured that much, but that left her with another question. “Why did you try to stuff us inside a suit if we didn’t look like an endoskeleton?” “Uh… well…” Chica said, as if trying to find an answer. “Well, you threw us off. We were so used to dealing with endoskeletons that when you came along, we really didn’t know what to do with you. It took us a while to finally realize that we didn’t need to stuff you into a suit.” Bonnie finished while Chica nodded violently. “So we take it that Freddy is too stubborn to admit that we aren’t an endoskeleton. Which is why he called you two traitors, correct?” The animatronics nodded in agreement. So that’s what was going on. Freddy was having a hard time coping with her not looking like an endoskeleton. He must really hate change if he was willing to go all out just to stuff her in a suit. Well, one more night was all he had to put up with from her. But she felt like he needed to have a good talk to get his feelings out. “We wish to talk to Freddy.” The two robots looked at her as if she grew a second head. “But he wants to stuff you in a suit. Are you sure that’s a wise idea.” Bonnie said. “Yes, we have found that talking things out is a good way to relieve stress. It could really help him cope, so the next time an unusual guard shows up, he can deal with it.” “He’s really angry right now. I don’t think he’d be willing to talk.” Chica said as she munched on a pop tart. Luna vaguely wondered where the pastry came from. “Not tonight. He needs time to cool off. Tomorrow we will have a therapy session, and he can work out his issues.” The two animatronics showed amusement before forcing it away. Luna raised an eyebrow at them before Chica snorted. Chica’s snort caused Bonnie to start chuckling. “And what, pray tell, is so amusing?” “J-Just the thought of F-Freddy in therapy!” Chica said now doubled over in laughter. Luna imagined the giant bear animatronic laying on a red couch talking about his woes. Luna was reminded of the Element of Generosity, and how she was overly dramatic. Luna snorted at the idea of Freddy acting like Rarity. She lost it when she imagined Freddy with large eyelashes and a styled, purple mane calling everyone “dahling”. Alright so it was a little funny. The sound of the chimes alerted the three that six o’clock had arrived. Bonnie offered to let Freddy out of time out as Luna tried to wake her still unconscious guards. Some help they turned out to be. They acted like school girls surrounded by spiders. She sighed and decided to carry them back to the castle. She levitated them and exited the building. She had a day full of reading ahead. She had to have some sort of idea about how psychology worked if she was going to help Freddy. The poor bear needed to learn that she was there to be his friend. And was not there to be stuffed inside an animatronic suit. She thought of consulting Twilight. If anypony would know anything about what books to read, it would be Twilight. With that decision, she headed over to Ponyville. She could send her sister a letter to let her know that she was okay, but she needed Twilight’s help if she was going to be ready for tomorrow night. Night five“… so as you can see, traumatic events in early life can cause problems in later life. That brings us to our next chapter where…” Twilight continued to drone on about psychology. Luna sat at the desk Twilight set up for her, and tried to stay awake. She barged into Twilight’s home right after she lowered the moon, and asked for her help on finding the books she needed. She didn’t expect Twilight to go into lecture mode. It was putting Luna to sleep, and it didn’t help that she was normally asleep during the day. She was so tired that she could just close her eyes and- “PRINCESS LUNA!” Twilight yelled as she snapped a yardstick on Luna’s desk. “We’re awake!” Luna said as she snapped to attention. “Are you okay? I called your name fifteen times before you actually woke up.” “Sorry Twilight Sparkle. We’re usually sleeping right now. We don’t know how we’re going to stay awake tonight.” Luna finished with a large yawn. “Have you tried coffee?” “Coffee? What is this-“ “Luna!” Twilight snapped the yardstick on the desk once more. “It wasn’t us!” Luna said as she snapped awake. “You don’t know what coffee is?” “Nay.” Luna rubbed her eyes sleepily. “Wait right here. I’ll be right back.” Twilight said as she walked into the kitchen. “That’s good Twilight Sparkle. That’s-“ Luna didn’t need to be startled out of her sleep this time. Instead she smelled something. This something smell was the very same smell that came from her sister’s drink every morning. Luna never liked that smell, which is why she never asked her sister about it. Twilight entered the room with a mug filled with the dark, smelly liquid. “This is coffee?” Luna questioned as she grabbed the mug with her magic. “Yeah, is there a problem?” “Indeed there is. This coffee is exactly what our sister drinks each morning. We never liked the smell.” “Coffee is an acquired taste, but you’ll grow to like it, I’m sure.” Twilight smiled while Luna looked at the mug skeptically. “Just try it, princess.” Luna slumped her shoulders and sighed. She really needed a pick-me-up, but did she really need to drink this? The smell alone was making her nauseous. “What if I put sugar and cream in your coffee? Will you try it then?” Twilight suggested. Luna nodded and watched as Twilight went into the kitchen. She fought to stay awake, but with each passing second her eyelids got heavier. Twilight reappeared just as she was about to doze off, yet again. Luna was surprised that the liquid was a different color. Instead of a black color, it was more of a tan color. The smell was different too. It smelled like French Vanilla mixed with a roasted scent. This was way more appetizing than before. She took a sip, and froze. Her taste buds danced with the unfamiliar taste in her mouth, but it wasn’t an unpleasant taste. It was a marvelous taste. It was quite possibly the best taste she ever tasted. Okay, not the best because cake was still good, but it was a close second. Without thinking, she started to guzzle the scalding hot liquid. Her mouth and throat burned, but she ignored it. She simply needed more. “We would like more, please!” Luna asked more awake than she was only seconds ago. “Uh, are you sure? It looks like one cup is enough, and it hasn’t even gone through your system yet.” Twilight asked. “Are you disobeying your princess, Miss Sparkle?” “No! I would never do such a thing!” the young unicorn looked nervous now. “Then another cup! Cream and sugar!” Twilight sighed in defeat and said, “Yes, your highness.” ___some time later___ “Anothercup! Wedemandanothercup!” Luna was now wide eyed and hyper. She had already consumed eight cups of that wonderful beverage known as coffee, and she wanted more. “But, princess, you don’t really need another one.” Moon Dancer said. He and Night Breeze were asleep in the other room most of the day. They woke up when Luna crashed through the door and demanded that they try coffee, despite the fact that they already drank coffee. “Don’tquestionyourprincessNightBreeze! Weknowwhatwe’redoing!” Luna said, grabbing the poor night guard. “I’m Moon Dancer.” “Youalllookalike! Twilightwedemandanothercup!” Luna switched gears and grabbed Twilight. “I really think you’ve had enough, princess.” “Nowehaven’t! Anothercup!” “I’m sorry, but I can’t let you drink more coffee. You’re already too hyper.” “Wearenotandifyouwon’tgetanothercupmyguardswill! NightDancerMoonBreezegetmemorecoffee!” Luna dropped Twilight and turned to her guards. “Uh, Princess, are you sure you-“ “That’sadirectorderfromyoursuperior! Dowemakeourselvesclear?” Luna said as she stomped her front hooved to prove her point. She stomped so hard that the floor cracked. “Yes, your highness.” The guards sighed before sending an apologetic gaze at Twilight. ___some more time later___ “WE CAN SEE SOUNDS!” Luna was on her twentieth cup and was shaking like mad. “Okay! Enough is enough! No more coffee for you!” Twilight said as she barricaded the kitchen. “TIS ALRIGHT! WE DRANK ALL THE COFFEE YOU HAD!” Luna turned her dilated eyes to Twilight. “You WHAT?” “WE MUST BE LEAVING! TIS ALMOST TIME TO GO TO THE PIZZERIA!” Luna encased her guards in her magic and flew through the roof of the library, creating a hole. Twilight looked around at the mess Luna made. Books were scattered everywhere. Luna was trying to find psychology books, but got angry at a shelf in the fiction section for not having the books she was looking for. She destroyed the entire section as punishment for “treason”. Twilight looked sadly at her destroyed books. “Spike, it’s safe to come out now!” Twilight called. Spike hid in the basement after Luna’s twelfth cup. At that point she was throwing things around to see if they could fly, and Spike was afraid she would throw him too. “Wow, this place is a mess.” Spike said as he peaked around the door. “I don’t have to clean it all up, do I?” he asked and Twilight face hoofed. ____________________ Freddy waited for midnight to roll by. He would accomplish his goal tonight if it killed him. The entire week was a mess, and it would only be rectified if he got the pony. He could have his revenge on the traitors later, but the pony had to go first. So nothing would stop him. It finally turned midnight, and the next thing he knew, he was on the ground. Bonnie and Chica were holding him down. Freddy was shocked for a moment, but it melted away quickly when the rage kicked in. They, not only betrayed him, but now they wanted to destroy him too? And to think they were once his friends. “What do you two think you’re doing?” Freddy asked icily. “Making sure you don’t run away before the therapy session even starts.” Chica answered smoothly. “Therapy session? What are you nimrods talking about?” “Hey, no name calling! And Luna decided to give you a therapy session tonight.” Bonnie said as he sat on top of Freddy. “So you’re on her side now! I knew it!” “Freddy, it’s either this or get destroyed while trying to beat someone more powerful than you. Please use your common sense!” Bonnie pleaded. “Say it’s a little after midnight. Where’s Luna?” Chica asked. Right after she asked, a crash came from the back door and Luna zoomed into the room. She carried some nauseous looking guards and four cups of coffee. She was shaking violently and her pupils were big enough that her eyes almost looked completely black. “WE HAVE ARRIVED WITH COFFEE!” she smiled a large crazed smile before chugging down a cup. “Uh, Luna? Are you okay?” Chica asked. “NEVER BETTER!” she looked at the bear being held down by the other two animatronics. “FREDDY!” she pushed Bonnie and Chica off of him and got in his face. “TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD!” she said loud enough that Freddy was sure that some damage was done to his ears. “I, uh… what?” Freddy was thoroughly confused. He was confused about why she was so hyper. He was confused about why she was drinking coffee when she didn’t the other nights. But, he was mostly confused about how strong she was. A creature that small shouldn’t be strong enough to hold him down like that, but she was doing so with ease. Freddy was starting to see what Bonnie was talking about. “YOUR CHILDHOOD! YOU HAD A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENE WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER WHICH IS WHY YOU’RE SO ANGRY NOW, CORRECT?” Luna seemed to get more and more hyper with each word she spoke. “Ummm… yeah?” It took this mare to get hyper and hold him down to realize that he truly was beat. He just wanted the horse to be gone now. He could easily fake his way through before she had to leave. He couldn’t believe how blind he was. “EXCELLENT! COFFEE BREAK!” Luna chugged down another cup. “TELL US OF YOUR CHILDHOOD NOW! WHO WERE YOUR PARENTS? WERE THEY NICE? DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS? ARE THEY NICE? HAVE YOU EVER HAD COFFEE BEFORE? YOU MUST IF YOU HAVEN’T! IT’S NECTAR FROM HEAVEN ITSELF!” Luna took a huge gulp from the third cup to prove her point. “Uh, ummm-“ “TRY SOME!” Luna pried Freddy’s jaw open and poured the hot beverage into his mouth. Freddy felt himself go into spasms as the liquid messed with his circuits. He spazzed out before things cleared up some. He really had to focus to move, but he wasn’t completely broken now, so he was glad. “GOOD RIGHT? TELL US IT’S GOOD?” Luna jumped around Freddy. “Y-y-yeah, it’s g-g-good.” Freddy focused hard to speak, and even then it came out as a stutter. He needed a mechanic. “EXCELLENT! NOW TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD!” Luna demanded once more. Freddy didn’t have a childhood per se. None of them did. They were built and activated, nothing else. She was relentless, though, so he had to make something up. “M-m-my father never a-a-appreciated anything I d-d-did. H-h-he liked my s-s-sister better than m-m-me.” Freddy said the first thing that came to his mind. “FAVORITISM! SUCH AN ACT SHAN’T GO UNPUNISHED! WHERE IS YOUR FATHER! WE MUST SPEAK WITH HIM!” Luna downed the last of her coffee. “Freddy, what are you doing? We have no parents, and Luna knows that.” Bonnie whispered to Freddy. “T-t-then how come s-s-she asked a-a-about parents and s-s-siblings?” Freddy retorted. “I think the coffee is messing with her mind.” Chica pointed to Luna who was now jogging around the room. “How many cups did she have anyways?” Bonnie asked as he watched Luna destroy a chair for causing her to trip. “Let’s just t-t-try to s-s-survive the n-n-night.” Freddy forced himself up, which took a lot of effort. “Freddy, are you actually making sense now?” Chica asked almost astonished. “Yeah, what happened to ‘I will not be beat by a horse!’” “T-t-things changed w-w-when she managed t-t-to single h-h-handedly hold me d-d-down and d-d-damage me to t-t-the point where I h-h-have to f-f-focus hard to d-d-do the s-s-simplest of tasks.” Freddy admitted. “WAIT ONE SECOND!” Luna nocked Freddy back onto the ground, and she looked mad. “YOU’RE A ROBOT! YOU DON’T HAVE PARENTS! WHY DID YOU LIE TO US?!?!?” Luna had her face inches away from his. “U-u-um….” Freddy couldn’t think of an answer. “He was just trying to humor you. He didn’t want to upset you by shattering the illusion.” Bonnie said quickly. “Many children cried when they found out that we didn’t have parents.” Chica backed him up smoothly. “OH! IN THAT CASE WE APOLOGIZE FOR OUR MISTAKE!” Luna got off of Freddy and pulled him up. Freddy didn’t know which surprised him more; the fact that Bonnie and Chica were smooth liars, or that Luna bought it so easily. She really was naïve, and Freddy was just happy that she was. “WE REMEMBER WHY YOU NEEDED A THERAPY SESSION NOW! YOU HAD TROUBLE ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT WE’RE NOT AN ENDOSKELETON! ARE WE CORRECT SO FAR?” The animatronics said nothing, but they nodded their heads ‘yes’. “EXCELLENT, NOW WHY ARE YOU HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME ACCEPTING THIS?” Luna asked as she paced back and forth. Freddy looked at Bonnie and Chica for help. It was apparent that they made up a story to keep him from the wrath of the pony princess, but he didn’t know what the story was exactly. If he said the wrong thing she could easily see that all of them had lied to her. He shivered at the thought of what would happen next. “He’s a creature of routine. If anything is different he has a hard time accepting it.” Chica vouched for him. “IS THIS TRUE?!?!?” Luna turned to Freddy who only nodded. “A WEEK HAS GONE BY, ARE YOU FEELING BETTER ABOUT A DIFFERENT SECURITY GUARD NOW?” Freddy continued to nod. “THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED! LET’S DRINK COFFEE TO CELEBRATE!” Before anyone could say anything Luna sped through the kitchen door and loud crashing was heard. The crashing continued on before it came to a halt, and Luna reappeared. “WHERE’S THE COFFEE!?!?!” Luna was instantly in front of them. “This is a restaurant for kids. There isn’t any.” Bonnie said backing up slowly. “ADULTS WORK HERE! WHERE IS THEIR COFFEE?!?!?” “They bring theirs from home.” Chica said also backing up. “Princess, I do believe that you’ve had enough.” One of the guards timidly said. “Yeah, when you raised the moon, it practically flew.” The other one chipped in. “ENOUGH IS NEVER ENOUGH!” Luna crashed through the front entrance after stating that. “Uh oh, we’d better go get her before she accuses more people of high treason for not selling coffee.” Said the first guard. The guards flew after their princess, leaving the three animatronics in stunned silence. “I had no idea that coffee was so addictive.” Chica said. Freddy could only nod in agreement. ____________________ Night Breeze was soaring through the sky over the south part of town. Moon Dancer was looking in the north side. The princess was fast when she wanted to be, and the fact that she had countless cups of coffee running through her system didn’t help in the slightest. The two guards easily lost sight of her. They decided to split up to cover more ground. He wasn’t having much luck, though, and he doubted Moon Dancer was any better off. “I don’t get paid enough for this.” He grumbled to himself. He was jerked out of his musings by the sound of screaming. It came from one of the homes in the residential area. “YOUR PRINCESS DEMANDS COFFEE!” Night Breeze face hoofed at the familiar sound of the Royal Canterlot voice. What kind of princess breaks into peoples’ homes, in another country, and demands they make her coffee? Only Luna. Night Breeze dove towards the home the noise was coming from. It was a two story, blue house with grey roofing. The roof had a Luna sized hole in it and the screams sounded like children’s screams. He picked up speed and dove through the hole. He was in a child’s bedroom, a girl if the pink walls said anything about it. He saw a bunk bed and two kids that looked identical. The one on top was trying to get to her sister on the bottom without having to get close to Luna, who was in the middle of the room. “DID WE STUTTER? WE SAID WE DEMAND COFFEE!” Luna yelled and caused the kid on the top bunk to fall. She quickly got up and joined her sister on the bottom bunk. “What is going on in here?!?!?” a man asked as he entered the room. He saw Luna and Night Breeze and froze. He blinked a couple of times, and left the room. He reappeared seconds later and stared right at the two ponies. “ARE YOU THE HEAD OF THIS HOUSEHOLD?” Luna asked. “Honey, you need to come see this!” he called to his mate. “Princess, we should probably leave.” Night Breeze tried to get the princess to go back to the pizzeria. “NOT UNTIL WE’VE HAD OUR COFFEE!” “AMY!!!!!” the man called again. “What is it, Jim? It can’t be too much for-“ a woman stopped mid-sentence after she saw Luna and Night Breeze. “Jim, why are there ponies in our daughters’ room?” she asked her husband. “ARE EITHER OF YOU THE HEAD OF THIS HOUSEHOLD?” Luna asked the two grown-ups. “They talk! Jim, they talk!” the woman said on the verge of freaking out. “It’s okay, Amy. I’ll handle this.” Jim stepped forward. “Hello! My name is Jim! This is my wife, Amy!” He said loud and clear. “Jim,” he pointed to himself, “Amy,” he pointed to his wife. “VERY WELL THEN, JIM! ARE YOU THE HEAD OF THIS HOUSEHOLD?” Luna asked for a third time. “Yes! I am a father! These are my kids, Elizabeth and Mary!” he pointed to the two girls that were watching with wide eyes. “CHARMED! WE ARE PRINCESS LUNA, RULER OVER THE NIGHT! WE DEMAND THAT YOU MAKE US COFFEE!” Luna yelled in the man’s face. “Coffee?” the man questioned. “YES, COFFEE! YOU DO HAVE SOME, RIGHT?” “Erm, yeah, but not very much. I was going to go to the store tomorrow.” Amy said as she entered the room. “SERVE IT TO US!” “Princess Luna, do you really think this is legal?” Night Breeze stepped in. “BUT OF COURSE! WE ARE A PRINCESS AFTER ALL! WHAT’S THE POINT OF BEING A PRINCESS IF YOU CAN’T ABUSE YOUR POWER EVERY SO OFTEN?!?!?” “But, you’re princess in Equestria. You don’t have jurisdiction here.” “DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY! COFFEE, NOW!” she turned to the thoroughly confused family. “There’s a land called, Equestria?” one of the twins asked. “Yes, there is.” Night Breeze answered. “Is it full of talking ponies?” the other twin asked. “Yes.” “Can we go see it?” the two asked in unison. “IF YOUR PARENTS GIVE US COFFEE, YOU CAN!” Luna answered the two. The twins suddenly ran to their parents and begged for them to give the “magic horsy” some coffee. “Princess, if you come back with me, we’ll stop by the store and buy as much coffee as you want.” Night Breeze knew he would regret that statement, but it was the only way to get her out of the family’s house. “LEAD THE WAY MOON DANCER!” “I’m Night Breeze.” “JUST TAKE US TO THE COFFEE!” Luna practically push the poor guard through the hole in the ceiling. Oh yeah, he was regretting his decision already. ____________________ “Well, you still need to focus to move, but at least you can talk without stuttering now.” Bonnie said as he put away the tools he used to fix Freddy. “Thanks Bonnie, I owe you.” Freddy said as he moved his arms to test how much focus he needed. Bonnie smiled to himself. Sure, this whole ordeal cause a lot of fighting, but now that Freddy realize just how powerful Luna was things were mending. He didn’t expect an apology. Freddy was too proud to apologize. Bonnie was surprised that he admitted a pony was more powerful than him. He was just happy that things were getting better now. Luna let all of them off the hook thanks to some skillful lying on his and Chica’s part. The only one who wasn’t informed was Foxy. Bonnie hoped that the pirate was okay. While he was responsible for the bite of ’87, they were still a family. “Do you think the other two ponies will show up?” Chica asked. One of the guards returned after a while, but there was no sign of the other two. It was apparent that the guard didn’t know where the others were. He was constantly pacing and checking the time. “WE HAVE ARRIVED WITH MORE COFFEE!!!!” Luna said as she reappeared with bags full of coffee and creamer. The missing guard was right behind her with a coffee maker on his back. “Night Breeze, why did you buy more coffee? She’s hyper enough.” The other guard said. “Don’t worry, I bought decaf.” Night Breeze said as he walked into the kitchen. “TO THE COFFEE MACHINE, POSTHASTE!” Luna followed. “Well, she’ll calm down soon, so we may live through-“ “AW! LOOK AT ALL THE BABY SPIDERS!!!!” Luna’s voice interrupted Chica. “Attack me hearties!” Foxy’s voice followed. “Dear, sweet Celestia! They’re everywhere!” yelled one of the guards. “Foxy?” Bonnie asked as they all looked toward the kitchen. The guards continued to scream and Foxy laughed his signature laugh. The other animatronics ran to the kitchen to see Foxy laughing with his arms still backwards and a swarm of baby spiders all over the kitchen. An adult black widow sat atop Foxy’s head. “Foxy, what is going on here? Where have you been?” Freddy asked. The sound of sirens outside caught everyone’s attention as police entered the building. “Everyone on the ground now!” The police shouted and pointed their guns. Their eyes widened as they saw the animatronics, ponies, spiders, and coffee all in the kitchen. They stood in stunned silence at the scene before them. “The boys at the station aren’t going to believe this.” Muttered one in the back. “We receive a couple of calls about breaking and entering someone’s home as well as thievery at a supermarket.” The one closest to them said. “Thievery?” Chica asked as she turned to the ponies. “TIS A LIE! WE LEFT PLENTY OF MONEY!” Luna strolled up the cops. They all tensed up and aimed at Luna. “The money you left isn’t real money.” A female cop said. “Actually, it is real money. It’s Equestrian money.” One of the guards said. “You need American money to pay for the coffee.” “YOU MEAN OUR MONEY ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH?!?!? DOEST THOU EVEN KNOW WHO WE ARE?!?!?” Luna stomped closer. Bonnie felt sorry for the police. They had an angry princess to deal with. “Not another step, or we’ll shoot!” Their pistols and stun guns were suddenly encased in blue magic before they exploded. The cop’s hands were burned and the all fell to the ground in pain. “DON’T YOU DARE THREATEN US AGAIN!!!” Luna said as a lightning bolt flashed outside. “THAT’S ENOUGH LUNA!” Yelled an unfamiliar voice. Everyone turned to see a white pony with a rainbow mane looking at Luna in disappointment. She was taller than the other mare and was adorned in gold jewelry. “TIA!!!! WE WERE ABOUT TO MAKE MORE COFFEE! IT’S LIQUID FROM THE GODS THEMSELVES!!!!!” Luna said completely oblivious to the other’s disappointment. “Luna, no! You’ve had too much coffee as is! You need to calm down!” The white pony dubbed as ‘Tia’ strode forward as the police mad a path for her. Bonnie sensed that she was regal, unlike Luna. “BUT SISTER!” Luna whined. “I said no! Look at you! You can barely stand still! This much coffee isn’t good for you!” Tia said firmly. “THAT MEANS IT’S WORKING! TWILIGHT SPARKLE SAID THAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO WAKE US UP!!!!!” “Yes, it is supposed to wake you up, but you should have listened to her when she said that one cup was enough.” “HOW DO YOU KNOW SHE SAID THAT?!” “She wrote me a letter, but she had to clean up the mess you made in her library first.” “AND BESIDES, HOW CAN COFFEE BE BAD FOR YOU?!?!?” “Too much coffee can cause increased heart rate, muscle spasms, and let’s not forget about the crash at the end.” “CRASH? WHAT CRASH! WE FEel just peachy.” Luna suddenly stopped talking loudly. “Why do we suddenly feel so awful?” Luna asked with a yawn. “You’re crashing. Coffee only gives you temporary energy.” “Oh, why didn’t Twilight tell us?” “I’m sure she did, but you didn’t listen.” “Oh, okay.” Luna yawned again. “We think we’ll-“ Luna fell over, asleep. The large pony shook her head and turned to the cops. “I am terribly sorry for my sister’s behavior. We will return the coffee and leave.” She said apologetically. “Thank you, but what about the breaking and entering?” “Breaking and entering?” Tia asked as she raised an eyebrow to the two pony guards. “She crashed through a family’s house and demanded that they make her coffee.” One of them said while rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. The older sister sighed and rubbed her temples, as if she were getting a migraine. “I’ll have a talk with her later, and she will pay for the damages. Once again, I am terribly sorry.” She said to the police. The sound of the chimes went off to tell everyone that it was six A.M. Tia encased Luna in her magic and placed her on her back. “We’ll take our leave. I took the large chariot so you two won’t have to fly back to Canterlot.” She said to the pony guards who looked immensely relieved. The ponies left and the cops, animatronics, and spiders all stood motionless in the kitchen. The night had been a crazy one, and nobody knew what to do next. “What happened here?!?!?” The manager asked as he walked into the kitchen. Bonnie rubbed his temples. This was going to be a long day. ___the next night in Canterlot__ Luna sat on her bed while Celestia lectured her about behaving so badly in another country. She had heard the lecture twice before. Once before she was banished, and once after her return. She was getting it again because of her behavior the previous night. She felt so ashamed of herself for acting so foalishly. She really wasn’t in her right mind. She swore to never drink coffee again. “Do you understand, Luna?” Celestia asked, her lecture coming to a close. “Yes, sister. We feel so foolish for acting in such a way.” Luna said as she lowered her head. “It’s okay, Luna. All the coffee has been returned and you paid for the damages done to that family’s home. All is forgiven, but you will never drink coffee again.” Luna couldn’t help but smile at that. Coffee really was the root of the problem last night. It was only logical that she never drink it again, or go for a long time without drinking it. “Deal.” She smiled at her sister. “What do you say we go for a flight before I go to bed?” Celestia asked. “Can Goldie come with us?” Luna held up the golden bear with her magic. “Uh, why don’t we fly, just the two of us? I’m sure Goldie won’t mind.” “Oh, okay.” Luna sat down Goldie and adjusted his hat. The two sisters walked to the balcony and took off. They flew around the castle and over the garden. Luna admired her night as she flew over the area Discord used to be imprisoned. “How do you think the replacement is doing?” Luna asked. “He’ll be fine, but it was tough to get him to be the replacement. Vlad Masters drives a hard bargain after all.” ___at the pizzeria___ Bonnie stood at his post on the stage. The past week had been hectic, especially last night. But the animatronics were ready to attack something, and the new guard was perfect. Bonnie had suspicions about him, but he figured that the replacement couldn’t be worse than Luna. And now, they had an army of black widows thanks to Foxy. Midnight rolled by and all the animatronics ran to the back office. They were overly eager after the week they had. They paused at the window to check if it was a pony. It was a human, around the age of fourteen from the looks of it. He had black hair and blue eyes. His shirt was white with a red oval on the chest. He wore blue jeans and red converse. He looked like an average kid, which was good news for the robots. All at once the animatronics lunged at the kid, only for him to slip through their grip and the floor. Everyone stood dumbfounded. It was as if he wasn’t there to begin with. “Looking for me?” an unfamiliar voice asked from behind. The animatronics turned to see the kid floating in mid-air. It was almost like he was a ghost, but he wasn’t. Right? “I don’t believe we’ve met.” Said the kid. A white ring suddenly appeared round his waist and split in two. One was going towards his head while the other went towards his feet. When they reached their destinations they disappeared and the kid looked completely different. He wore a black hazmat suit with white gloves, boots, and belt. His eyes were a glowing green and his hair was snow white. A white DP insignia adorned his chest and completed his look. “I’m Danny Phantom, and I’m your new night guard.” He said as his voice echoed. Bonnie suddenly wished that Luna would return. He had a feeling that thins kid was going to be ten times worse. Author's Note He's gonna catch 'em all 'cause he's Danny Phantom! Gonna catch 'em all 'cause he's Danny Phantom! Gonna catch 'em all 'cause he's Danny Phantom! I told you no one would guess! Anyway, I have a few announcements. Near the beginning of uploading this story, I was talked into doing a more serious version of this story while keeping the lore of FNaF. However, I am horrible at writing serious stories. Every time I tried, it would end up being a comedy with a cheesy beginning. Not only that, but if I write this it would prolong the sequel. So do you guys want me to write a story I never felt strongly about, or do you want me to get started on the sequel? Another thing, The sequel will take a while, because I'm thinking of writing all of the story first, and then post it all at once. No waiting for the next chapter. Well, that's it. Happy New Year!
Night oneAuthor's Note The position of Proof reader has been filled. Ally of the Daleks is currently going through the chapter and making corrections. Sorry I didn't inform you sooner. I've been organizing my ideas for night two. Night one Bonnie watched as the manager locked up for the night. All of the animatronics at Freddy’s felt a sense of malicious glee. Tonight was Monday night; the first night of the new watchman. He wouldn’t show up until midnight, though. This gave them time to plan just how they were going to toy with their new prey before he met his untimely demise. First, they would wait until the phone message was over and the new guy became unnerved. Once the message was over Bonnie would go on the move. He would move from place to place to cause the night guard to become even more jumpy. Maybe he’d appear at the door and scare the wits out of the watchman. Bonnie loved the look of sheer terror on the poor human’s face. Hey, maybe Chica would join him tonight in scaring the new meat. Midnight finally came around and the sound of the back entrance came across their mechanical ears. Bonnie felt excitement as the phone started to ring and the old guard from “last week” started to speak. He was long winded as his explanation took two hours, but Bonnie could wait as long as it took. He waited for the paranoid guard to check the cameras, but they never came on. This didn’t worry him, though. Some guards waited until the phone message was over before checking the cameras. The message finally ended. Bonnie waited for the cameras to turn on, but they never did. He felt the confusion radiate off of the others. There was a watchman back there, right? Bonnie waited until three, but the cameras stayed off. Finally, he decided to see if there was a guard back there. He stopped by other places on the way there to see if the other cameras were turned on, but they too were off. Bonnie arrived outside the door, ready to scare some sense into whoever it was. He stopped in his tracks at what he saw. Instead of a human, there was an equine of some kind sitting there. She was slightly bigger than a normal sized pony with a midnight blue coat. She also had a dark blue mane and tail that flowed in an invisible breeze. She had a unicorn’s horn and Pegasus wings. She had a dark crown, necklace, and horse shoes. She had a black splotch and a crescent moon on her flanks. Her blue eyes were entranced by a book that was levitating in front of her. Bonnie stood at the door in sheer confusion. Why was there a pony here? What happened to the normal human guard? Why was she reading? Could ponies read? If she could read, could she understand English? If she understood English, did she understand the phone message? If she understood the phone message, why wasn’t she afraid? Question after question entered his mind. He had to go tell Freddy and Chica. He went back to the stage where Freddy and Chica both looked at him, confusion evident in both their faces. “Is there even a guard back there?” Chica asked as Bonnie approached. “Yeah, but it’s definitely not what I was expecting.” Bonnie answered. “What does that mean?” Freddy questioned. “It’s a pony.” Chica and Freddy looked at each other before laughing. Bonnie heard some mechanical garble from Pirate’s cove. Even Foxy was laughing at him. “I’m serious! A blue pony is back there reading a book!” Bonnie exclaimed, only realizing how crazy that sounded after he said it. The laughter increased and Bonnie felt a small rush of anger at his comrades. “If you don’t believe me, go look for yourselves.” He challenged. The laughter subsided and Chica stepped off the stage rolling her eyes. “Okay Bonnie. I’ll go scare the security guard since you seem to be hallucinating.” She patted Bonnie’s back before heading to the back office. ____________________ Luna gazed at the book, fascinated at how Equestrian technology evolved into what they had now. She had 1,000 years of history to catch up on, and she figured that she could read while working as a watchman at a human restaurant. The humans were really desperate to keep a permanent night guard, and Luna offered to do it for free. She could use the quiet of an empty restaurant to read, and it would put the poor human’s minds to rest. Besides, if a burglar dared to show his face, she could scare him away with the Royal Canterlot Voice. She learned last Nightmare Night that no one used it anymore, and it scared the wits out of everypony. So it would definitely scare the wits out of a potential robber. She suddenly heard a gasp from her right and heavy steps running toward the front of the pizzeria. She quickly set the book down and used an illumination spell to light up the hallway. “WHO GOES THERE!?!?!?” she asked loudly. Whoever it was, he ran back to the eating area. She could use the cameras, but she felt like she had to go check it in pony. She trotted back to where the footsteps lead. ____________________ “WHO GOES THERE!?!?!?” He saw Chica run back to her position on the stage right as the loud voice asked the question. “What is it Chica?” he asked, but she didn’t answer as the sound of steps grew louder, and a light came from one of the hallways to the back office. He stood in shock as a pony appeared from the hallway, the light coming from her horn. She moved the light around the room as she looked for the “intruder”. “REVEAL THYSELF, FIEND!” she yelled with a force that scooted some of the tables in front of her. Freddy had no idea what to think as she moved about. Bonnie was right! She is a pony! His surprise increased as she lifted all the tabled and chairs with her magic to look under them. Finding no one, she set them all back down, then glanced at Pirate’s cove. Foxy opened the curtains slightly when the pony first asked who was there. The cracked curtain didn’t go unnoticed. “AHA! WE HAVE YOU NOW!” she exclaimed as she pulled the curtains back with her magic. Even with Foxy’s jaw being broken, he could see surprise etched on his face. The pony got on the Pirate’s Cove stage and looked around. She checked the smallest crevice looking for the nonexistent robber. After a few minutes of checking, she jumped down and closed the curtains behind her. Freddy watched as she trotted over towards them and looked around them. She got up on stage and continued her search. He made sure to not move when she checked around him. She moved backstage after finding nothing on stage. He shared glances with Bonnie and Chica as they heard her rustling around backstage. Out of all the things they came across over the years, this was by far the strangest. A pony night guard that wasn’t even afraid of them? He didn’t know such a thing existed. The pony appeared from backstage after her search proved fruitless. She sat and hummed, as if she were deep in thought. She jumped and ran off toward the kitchen with a loud “AHA!” They stayed still until she disappeared from sight. “Wow, you weren’t kidding.” Freddy said apologetically. “Told ya so!” Bonnie rubbed it in. “Pony or not, she needs to learn her place!” Chica said getting off stage. “You going to follow her?” he asked. “You bet!” Chica said as she followed the mysterious, blue pony. Freddy felt himself smile. Things would be back to normal soon. ____________________ Luna checked the Kitchen just as thoroughly as she did the stages and eating area, and still there was no one there. She sighed and turned back to the hallway. She knew she heard something earlier. She still had the broom closet and bathrooms to check. She jumped slightly when she saw the duck animatronic right next to her. It looked down at her with an open mouth and wide eyes. She didn’t expect it to be right there, and her wings puffed out in fright. After a second she folded them back and chuckled at her own stupidity. “We almost forgot that you moved around at night. At least that’s what the previous night watchman said.” She patted the belly with a hoof. “Don’t worry, we’ll find that mean intruder for you!” She turned around and heard the machine follow her. She stopped and turned back to face the duck. “Oh, you wish to follow us? Very well then, uh… What was thy name again?” She rubbed her chin in thought. “Oh yeah! Chicky! Come then, Chicky! You shall be our companion in the hunt for the foolish intruder!” She started to walk away and noticed that footsteps didn’t follow. She turned and saw Chicky stuck to where she was. Somehow she was radiating anger. “Chicky? Art thou- we mean, are you okay?” She asked correcting herself. Celestia has told her time and time again that the speech patterns were much different from 1,000 years ago, and that some might not understand her. She tried to correct herself when she did, but old habits die hard. She stilled used the Royal “We” to show respect to the singing animatronics like the message told her to. She jumped aside as Chicky rushed at her screaming. She was confused for a second before she finally understood. “Oh! You wish to play tag with us! Alright! Thou art it!” she ran off toward the eating area with Chicky at her heels. ____________________ Bonnie waited for Chica to return with news of success. The pony needed to know that they were to be feared. Where was the fun if the night guard wasn’t trembling out of terror? He smiled when he heard the tell-tale scream of one of them getting the watchmen, or watchpony. His smile faded when the pony reappeared into the eating area with a playful expression on her face. Chica, on the other hand, was furious and was trying to maim the equine she was chasing. “We bet you can’t catch us, Chicky!” she taunted as she stayed just out of arm’s reach. He heard Freddy chuckle at the mispronunciation of Chica’s name. Bonnie couldn’t help but join in. He noticed Chica shoot them a dark look before focusing all of her attention on the mare in front of her. It was obvious that the pony wasn’t using her full speed, and was going slow just to tease Chica. This was no surprise, since Chica was the slowest out of all of them. The chase lasted for about thirty minutes, when the clock played the chime to let all of them know that it was 6 o’clock A.M. “Aw, it appears we have to cut the game short, Chicky. You need to go back on stage with Freddy and Bonbon, and I need to go lower the moon.” The pony said pouting. Freddy laughed at Bonnie’s new nickname, and Chica stomped angrily back on stage. All three of them watched as the pony moved to the back of the building and the manager unlocked the doors. “Have fun, Chicky?” Bonnie muttered so the manager wouldn’t hear. “Shut up, Bonbon!” Chica muttered back. Bonnie frowned, but didn’t answer. Tonight didn’t go as planned, but now they knew what to expect. Not only that, but they also had all day to plan for tomorrow night.
Night twoLuna walked through the back door to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza and sighed. Yesterday she was distracted by the intruder and Chicky, and couldn’t finish reading. She hoped that tonight would be uneventful, and let her finish her book. She trotted to her office when the phone started ringing. It must be the previous night guard giving her more tips. She hoped that the message would be shorter than yesterday. He had helpful advice for her, but the part about the animatronics mistaking her for an endoskeleton was absurd. If she was a human she would be afraid, but she was a pony for Celestia’s sake! She looked nothing like the endoskeletons used for the animatronics! She sat down as the guy started his message. He congratulated her for making it to the second night and told her to check the cameras while he talked. She rolled her eyes at this. He then told her about the lights outside her door and how the blind spots of the cameras were right outside them. Did no one tell him that his successor would be a pony? She had nothing to worry about. He warned her about Pirate Cove, and that the fox was apparently camera shy. She had to keep looking at him to make sure he didn’t leave. Luna raised an eyebrow at this. Out of order or not, the fox was still a part of the team and deserved the same rights as the rest. Just because he was broken didn’t mean he wanted to stay cooped up in one place. If he wanted to walk around she would let him walk around. The old night guard said his goodbyes and ended the message. Luna pulled her book from under her wing and picked up where she left off. About 100 years after her banishment, ponies discovered that electricity could be harnessed through lightning. They used this new discovery to make machines and to power them. Luna was fascinated by this. She didn’t know her beloved hot tub and television were powered by lightning. She would have to keep this in mind when- “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” screamed the fox who suddenly appeared to her left. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” she screamed back shooting a fireball at him. The fireball exploded on his shoulder and caused his arm to break off from the rest of him. They both stood in stunned silence. Luna picked up the now severed robotic limb with her magic and smiled sheepishly at him. “We’re terribly sorry. We have a tendency to use attack spells when we’re startled badly. If thou- we mean if you hold still we can fix it for you.” She said apologetically. The fox stared at her with wide eyes. He started to slowly back out of the room before he sprinted back down the hallway. “Wait! Come back!” Luna yelled as she gave chase. She chased the fox around the main eating area, the broken arm trailing right behind her. She tried to run, but he proved to be too fast, so she encased him in magic and tried to pull him toward her. He grabbed ahold of the bathroom entrance, though, and refused to budge. Luna pulled harder, but the fox was in such disrepair that the joints had grown weak and his other arm started to tear off. With one last hard yank the arm was ripped completely off and the fox was sent flying. Luna picked up the other arm she had accidentally severed. “Sorry! Just hold still, and we will fix this!” Luna said as she pulled the fox closer to her. She set to repairing the arms. She made sure to reconnect the wires so he could move them, and she repaired the broken metal so it was as good as new. She even reinforced the metal so it wouldn’t break so easily next time. She finished and looked at a job well done. It was then she realized that she had placed the arms in the wrong slots… and backwards. “Oops! Sorry! We’ll just break off the arms and place them in correctly.” She said apologetically once more. Just as she was about to, though, she heard metallic footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Chicky standing over her. “Oh, hello Chicky! Doest thou wish to continue our game from yesterday?” The duck didn’t reply. Instead, she picked up Luna and started to carry her backstage. Luna was confused, but decided to go with it. She watched from under Chicky’s arm as they approached an empty Freddy suit. Chicky pulled the head off and went to stuff Luna inside. Thinking quickly, Luna cast a teleportation spell and in a bright flash, disappeared from Chicky’s arms and reappeared behind her. “Oh, we’re sorry! We’re not an endoskeleton. We figured our equine figure would have tipped you off.” Luna said as Chicky whirled around in shock. The duck animatronic stood there gaping at Luna. She looked down and began to shake, which worried Luna. “Chicky?” The name snapped the animatronic out of her trance, and with a scream she lunged at Luna. Luna quickly flew out of reach and watched as Chicky grabbed a spare Freddy head and threw it at her. “No Chicky! That’s a bad animatronic!” Luna used her magic to push the flying head out of the way. She encased Chicky in magic and began to lead her away. “We do not throw things! Perhaps a time out is in order.” Luna dragged the poor duck to the broom closet and threw her in. She then slammed the door, locked it, and put and unbreakable spell over the door. She heard the screams from the other side as Chicky began banging on the door. “Stay in there and think about what thou hast done!” Luna said as she began to trot away from the angry, trapped robot. She moved checked the front of the store to fix the fox's arms, but he was nowhere to be seen. She guess that he was in Pirate Cove and went to check. She flew the curtains back, but he wasn't there. After a sweep through of the whole restaurant, she gave up and went back to her reading. ____________________ Bonnie watched in amazement as the pony dragged Chica away with magic. First, she breaks both of Foxy’s arms and places them in the wrong way, and now she’s giving Chica a time out. Bonnie got the strong feeling that they underestimated their opponent again. He watched in silence as the mare looked around for Foxy. He doubted she'd find him. Foxy hurried to a nearby air vent and hid after Chica pulled the pony away. After looking in each room she gave up. He guessed that she went back to finish the book she was reading yesterday. “Hey, Freddy,” the bear turned to look at him, “I think we’re in way over our heads with this one.” “Are you admitting defeat?” Freddy said as he narrowed his eyes. “You saw what she did with Foxy and Chica! She can easily overthrow us!” “The week is still young, and I have more tricks up my sleeve.” Bonnie sighed deeply. Asking Freddy to back off was like asking your reflection to pass the salt. Sure he could argue his case further, but it would just end with them angry at each other for who knows how long. Bonnie knew from experience that being mad at someone you’re stuck with day and night was not fun. He relented and decided to convince Freddy to err on the side of caution. “We need to be overly cautious. We thought we had her because she was a pony, but look at what she’s done! Foxy’s arms are backwards and Chica was put in time out!” Freddy hummed as he appeared to be in thought. After a few minutes, he smiled an evil smile and looked at Bonnie with an air of sadism about him. One glance at his expression told Bonnie what he was thinking. Golden Freddy. None of the animatronics ever saw Golden Freddy, but they knew he was most active on night three. There was only problem though…. “How are we going to get her to look through the cameras?” Bonnie asked. “Just leave that to me.” Freddy said darkly before letting out one of his infamous laughs. Bonnie was still unsure if Freddy was underestimating her still, but Golden Freddy had frightened, if not killed, countless security guards. Maybe, just maybe, Golden Freddy would put a dent through the pony’s naïve outlook on them. It was something at least, but he still felt like he needed to prepare for a backfire. And prepare he shall. The chimes sounded, letting them know that 6 o’clock had arrived. Chica was let out of the closet and she stomped back to the stage with murderous intent in her eyes. Bonnie knew it would take little to no convincing to have her agree on the plan, whatever it was. Tomorrow night was going to be interesting indeed.
Night threeAuthor's Note Here is the long awaited Night Three! I know all of you were patient, and I thank you for it. I promise I'll try harder to get the next chapter done quicker. My usual proofreader wasn't on today, but God of Physics offered to read over it. It was finished Thursday and I figured you guys waited long enough. So without further ado, Night three! Night three Luna opened her balcony doors and breathed in the cool night air. It was almost time to head over to the pizzeria and begin her night shift. She hoped that she’d get more reading done this time; the past two nights had been interrupted. She was about to take flight when she heard a knock at her door. “Come in!” she called The double doors opened to reveal her older sister, Celestia, who looked over Luna with an amused grin. “Is it time to go to the human restaurant?” She asked looking down at Luna. “Indeed it is, Sister!” Luna chirped. “And, I assume the costume is part of it?” Celestia asked with a raised eyebrow. Luna looked down at the Freddy Fazbear costume she was wearing. Her face was poking out of the mouth of the costume, and her tail flowed out of a hole on the rear. She also had holes for her wings so she could fly. “Well, the animatronics roam around at night. And we were told that they might mistake us for an endoskeleton and try to stuff us in a suit, which would end in death. We figured that our equine look would tip off that we weren’t an endoskeleton, but Chicky-“ “Chicky?” Celestia interrupted. “It’s the name of the duck animatronic.” Luna answered. “I think you mean ‘Chica’. And she’s a chicken, not a duck.” “Oh. Wait! How doest thou know this?” “It was in the ‘Welcome to the Freddy Family’ pamphlet you didn’t read.” Celestia levitated a small pamphlet in front of Luna. Luna looked at the pamphlet and felt hot from embarrassment. She had called Chica “Chicky” several times in the past two nights. She’d have to make amends with the chicken tonight. “Anyways, you were saying?” Celestia prompted for Luna to continue. “Right! Chica mistook us for an endoskeleton yesterday, so we figured that we’d better be safe than sorry.” Luna finished. Celestia frowned and appeared to be in thought. After she stood there for a few seconds she looked at Luna and asked, “Did they do anything else?” “Well the fox scared the living moonlight out of us and we accidentally blasted his arm off. Oh, and Chica played tag with us on the first night!” Celestia’s frown deepened at this new bit of info. Luna could see the wheels turning in her mind as she thought about whatever it was that was troubling her. Celestia studied Luna for a few seconds and appeared to have come to a decision in her internal debate. “I want you to take your guards with you tonight.” Celestia said with the authority of an elder sister. “What?! Why?!” “Look, it’s obvious that there’s something more to this than meets the eye.” Celestia said. “There is?” Luna asked completely dumfounded. “Yes! Luna, you are an alicorn princess! You look nothing like an endoskeleton!” “We thought so too, but yesterday proved that anything not in a Freddy suit looked like an endoskeleton to them.” Celestia gave her an ‘are-you-kidding-me’ look. “What?” Luna asked at her sister’s expression. Celestia shook her head and said, “I don’t even want to know. You’re still taking the guards with you though.” “Tiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaa! We are more than capable of handling the robots ourselves!” Luna whined. “Luna,” Celestia sighed, “bring them along for my sake. Please? It will put my mind at ease knowing that my little sister is safe.” “We don’t need to be watched over like a filly.” Luna pouted and Celestia sighed. “They don’t have to be in the building with you. They can be outside. I just want somepony else there if things get dangerous.” “Why would things get dangerous?” Luna asked in genuine curiosity. Sure they mistook her for an endoskeleton, but the costume she was wearing would rectify that. What other danger could there be? “It’s just a feeling I have. Please, Luna. Bring them with you so I can rest easy.” Celestia pleaded. Luna groaned and mulled it over in her mind. Tia was being very over protective and paranoid, but she did say the guards can be outside the building. But she was being treated like a foal! She didn’t need babysitters! But Celestia seemed to be troubled about her going alone, and she didn’t want to worry her sister. She guessed that guards being outside wouldn’t hurt, and it would keep intruders from getting in. Luna sighed and said, “Okay, we’ll bring them with us.” “Thank you, Luna. I only asked of this because I care.” Celestia said with great relief. Luna call in two of her night guards, Night Breeze and Moon Dancer. She engulfed them in her magic and in a bright flash, they were both wearing a Chica and Bonbon costume is a similar fashion to hers. “You gave them costumes too?” Celestia asked. “Every Freddy needs a Chica and Bonbon.” Luna shrugged. “Bonnie.” Celestia corrected. “What?” “The rabbit is called Bonnie. You should really read this pamphlet.” Celestia put said object on top of the book Luna was reading. “Fine, we’ll read it as soon as we get there.” Luna turned around and walked to her balcony with her guards following behind. “Have a safe trip.” Celestia called before exiting the room. Luna rolled her eyes at her sister’s overprotectiveness, and took flight. ___at the restaurant___ All three ponies landed just outside of the back door. Once they landed, Luna turned to the two guards. “Survey the perimeter and keep intruders from entering.” She commanded them. “Yes, your highness.” the two guards said simultaneously and began trotting around the building with watchful eyes. Luna walked in a bit later than normal so it didn’t surprise her when she heard the phone call ending as she walked in. What did surprise her was a small trip wire across the opening to the office. She had been in enough prank wars with Celestia to know that they meant mischief. She smirked to herself for learning to spot them easy enough. After all, she had several buckets of water poured down on her because of her carelessness. She moved to the side of the doorway and pulled the string with her magic. A bucket fell, like she expected, but the contents were red in color and had a spicy smell to it. This wasn’t water. She carefully bent down and licked some of the mysterious liquid. It was hot sauce! That seemed dangerous. She knew from past experience that hot sauce in the eyes wasn’t fun. She stepped around the puddle cautiously, and peered into the room. She also learned from her pranks with Tia that when there was a bucket of something, another prank followed. She saw a banana peel in front of her and another trip wire on the other side. She obviously was supposed to be blinded by the hot sauce and step onto the banana peel. The banana peel would’ve caused her to slip and go to the other trip wire. She put the banana peel in the waste basket and stood way back from the other trip wire. If the first one was hot sauce, she wanted to be overly cautious with the second one. She used her magic to activate the trip wire, and nearly jumped out of her skin when flames suddenly appeared. She let go with her magic and the flames disappeared. She took a few deep breaths to slow her rapidly pacing heart. Who set up these “pranks”? They were super dangerous! Pranks were supposed to be light hearted and fun, while this was borderline murderous! Maybe Tia was right about something more going on here. She cautiously stepped over the other trip wire and saw a flame thrower rigged up to the trip wire. She carefully removed the flame thrower from its spot hanging from the ceiling. She untied the strings around it so it wouldn’t activate. After it was free from the string’s clutches, she gently levitated it to her face and turned it away from her. If there were traps like these, then there had to be others around the establishment. She had to go and check, but the smell of hot sauce was strong. She had to get that cleaned up first. She was suddenly thankful for having guards there. She walked to the back door and called for them. They were in front of her immediately. “There is hot sauce all over the ground. We need you two to clean it up. We have some investigating to do.” She said waving the flame thrower for emphasis. They saluted her and followed her inside. ____________________ Bonnie knew from the lack of screaming that the pony didn’t fall for the traps. He knew deep down that she would somehow find a way around it. That was how the entire week had been so far. He just hoped that Freddy would realize that they bit off more than they could chew after tonight. He saw as the mare emerged from the hallway with the flame thrower hovering around her. He was surprised to see that she was wearing a Freddy Fazbear costume. She was looking at everything closely, as if she were expecting another trap. She should expect another trap, too. The entire place was rigged with deadly traps, courtesy of Freddy’s twisted mind. The sound of screams were heard from the broom closet. The pony immediately turned around and dashed toward the broom closet. Bonnie looked at the other two in confusion. Were there more ponies? The sound of voices were heard from the hall, and three figures emerged. One was the pony they had been trying to terrorize, while the other two appeared to be her guards. They had grey pelts and wore Chica and Bonnie costumes. They had yellow eyes with narrow pupils that reminded Bonnie of a dragon.. Tufts of fur tipped their ears and bat wings were folded on their sides. The one dressed as him was holding a bucked in his mouth while the other carried a mop. They were unharmed, from the looks of it. It was apparent that they had fast reflexes. They stood in front of the bigger pony, as if they were trying to protect her. The mare was now levitating the many knives they used to booby trap the broom closet, and she looked livid. Bonnie felt an emotion he was used to seeing, but not used to feeling: fear. He knew that the pony was powerful enough when she was just minding her own business. How much more powerful would she be when she was angry? Bonnie didn’t want to find out. The pony looked at the three animatronics with an air if suspicion, but she turned away and watched her surrounding as she took the lead towards the kitchen. “Your highness, let us lead the way. It’s our job to protect you.” Said the one with the bucket, having put down said bucket to speak. Your highness? This pony was royalty? That would explain the crown, but why was a monarch acting as a security guard for a rundown pizzeria? “Nay, we have experience with spotting potential ‘pranks.’ We shall be first.” She said commandingly. “Yes, Princess Luna.” The other two saluted. Luna approached the kitchen door and studied it. She looked at it up and down, and appeared to have spotted something. The pony princess stood back and pushed the slightly open door all the way open. The guard’s eyes widened as three bowling balls fell with a loud crash. The guards quickly stepped in before the princess could do anything, and took the lead. Luna rolled her eyes before following them inside. While the ponies were in the kitchen, Chica ran into the bathroom to set up the traps in there. They only had time to set up the other traps before it was midnight. It wasn’t until Luna’s late arrival that they realized that they could have spent more time setting them up. Bonnie was really regretting the traps, though. Luna only seemed to get angrier with each new trap she found. If they survived tonight, he was going to make sure Freddy stopped with the games before the pony decided she had enough of them. It sounded like they were wrapping it up in the kitchen, and Chica wasn’t back yet. Bonnie was starting to get anxious. Luna suspected them, but she didn’t know for sure that it was them. If Chica was caught in the act it was all over. The ponies stepped out of the kitchen just as Chica stepped out of the bathroom. The guards were instantly in front of Chica, ready to attack, when Luna stopped them. “The robots walk around at night. Stand down.” She commanded before the guards returned to her side. Chica quickly walked back to her spot on the stage, smiling like a mad woman. Luna eyed them for a few minutes before walking toward the bathroom, the guards following her. “Go clean up the mess. We can handle the bathrooms.” She told the two. “But, your highness-“ “That’s an order.” She interrupted. The guards reluctantly saluted and went to get the discarded bucket and mop. Luna turned back around and walked into the bathroom. The guards walked into the hallway. It was silent for a few seconds before the sound of a chain saw erupted from the bathrooms, followed by a yelp of surprise and an explosion. The guards instantly flew toward the bathroom to see if their princess was alright. Luna stepped out of the bathrooms with a broken chainsaw levitating around her. She was glaring at the animatronics while the two guards looked her over. “We’re fine, but I need to discuss something with my charges!” she told the two. They noticed the change from “we” to “I” and galloped back to the hallway. It apparently meant something, and Bonnie had a feeling that it wasn’t good. She stomped up to them and threw the now useless chain saw at Freddy’s feet. She glared at them and Bonnie felt like he was three inches tall. “This is not funny. Hurting ponies is not funny. Harmless pranks that don’t cause death or injury is funny. If the bucket was filled with water, it would be funny. THIS IS NOT FUNNY!” she took a deep breath and leveled a glare. “Somepony could have died tonight because of you three. I’m going to help my guards with the mess YOU made. In the meantime, I want you to think about what you have done. I’ll be checking on you periodically, so don’t even think about setting up another prank.” She stormed off after that and headed back toward the hallway. “Now she will definitely check the cameras.” Freddy said with a self-satisfied smile. Chica looked a bit shaken up after the harshness Luna had showed in her voice and expression. Maybe Chica was starting to turn around now. With her help, maybe they could talk some sense into Freddy. ____________________ Luna checked the camera for what felt like the hundredth time that night. Freddy was missing, again. She searched through the cameras and found him near the bathrooms. “FREDDY, GET BACK TO YOUR POST NOW!” the animatronic walked back to his spot on stage. She was sure that the guards outside were worried sick. It had taken her twenty minutes to convince them to go back outside. Even then, they were reluctant about leaving her alone. She had a feeling that they were going to tell Celestia about tonight and that they would be ordered to stick to her like glue tomorrow. She was absolutely furious with the animatronics, though. They were around kids daily. They should know the difference between a practical joke, and an attempted murder. She had put all of them on time out at their spots on the stage, but Freddy kept wanting to wander off. She was half-way tempted to hold him down the rest of the night, but she didn’t want to break him accidentally like Foxy. She wondered where the pirate animatronic went. ____________________ Somewhere in the ventilation shafts of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, Foxy was lying on his side and staring at a spider’s web. Foxy no longer felt safe at pirate cove. The she-demon disguised as a pony, could easily find him there, but the ventilation shafts were like a maze. It would take days for her to find him. He was now truly alone. Well, not truly alone, he had Hilda. Hilda was a black widow spider he befriended. She was the only one to ever understand him, and since he was a robot, she couldn’t kill him. He was excited for Hilda, because she had an egg sac in the corner of her web. He couldn’t wait to meet the new spiders and have them become his army of taking back the establishment. He only had to play the waiting game. ____________________ Luna shrugged. He was bound to be within the building. She checked the cameras again and Freddy was gone once more. She searched and found him at the end of the hall on her left. “FREDDY, IF THOU DOESN’T GET BACK TO THE STAGE IMMEDIATELY, I WILL SMITE THEE!” she threatened and heard him retreat. She set the camera down and found another Freddy in front of her. He was golden in color, and was slumped on the floor as if lifeless. He was just looking at her with empty sockets. Luna gasped. ____________________ “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!” Freddy heard the shriek from his position on stage and smiled evilly. She found Golden Freddy. All he had to do was wait for him to finish her off and he would be rid of the annoying pest forever. The restaurant was his once more. He heard the sound of galloping and watched in shock as Luna reappeared with Golden Freddy levitating behind her. The guards from before were at her side and asking her if she was okay. She ignored them and bounded in front of them with shimmering eyes and a large smile. “We accept your peace offering! He is so adorable!” she exclaimed. Freddy’s mind stopped working for a few seconds. She thought that Golden Freddy was…. adorable? Golden Freddy was supposed to strike fear into her very soul, not look cute! He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. She danced around with the lifeless Freddy, and hummed a little tune. “Just wait until Tia sees this! Then she’ll know that you mean well!” she continued to dance. Golden Freddy was looking at him, pleading for help. It was obvious that he didn’t want to stay with the pony, but she had a good grip with her magic. “Come along Goldie, we have an hour left in our shift, and we would like to get some reading done tonight.” She said as she dragged the poor suit away. Freddy couldn’t believe this. She had gotten them at every turn! He’d just have to try harder tomorrow. He was NOT going to let a PONY beat him! In all of his years of terrorizing and killing security guards, he had not met one that he couldn’t beat, and tonight this was no exception. “We need a better plan tomorrow!” he growled to his two companions. “Are you serious?” Chica asked. “Do you WANT her to destroy you?” Bonnie said at the same time as Chica. “Just what are you two saying?” Freddy asked with narrowed eyes. “Have you been here the past two nights? Foxy refuses to come out of the air vents and Golden Freddy is scared of her! Face it! We’re outmatch this time!” Bonnie said sternly. “No! We just need to try harder!” Freddy yelled. “Try harder? We booby trapped the place and she got away without a scratch! The only way we can get rid of her is if we blow the place up! And even then I doubt that she’ll have a mark on her!” Chica said. Freddy couldn’t believe that they turned coward on him. How dare they admit defeat! They were the Freddy Fazbear team! They were unbeatable! And no one, especially a miniature horse, would get the upper hand on them! “How dare you two give up so easily!? So the past few nights haven’t gone according to plan. Big whoop. We just need to up the ante!” Freddy tried to reason with them. Bonnie shook his head and said, “No, we just need to quit while we’re ahead. We almost got our heads torn off when she found us leaving the traps. Just be thankful that she thinks Golden Freddy is a peace offering.” “Bonnie’s right. I hate to admit it, but she’s very powerful. Nothing we do will hurt her.” Chica agreed. “So this is how it’s going to be.” Freddy was now beyond angry. They had betrayed him! Well, fine! He could get rid of that stupid horse all on his own! “How what’s going to be?” Bonnie looked anxious. “If you two are too chicken-“ “Hey!” Chica interrupted. “- to help me get rid of her, then I will do it myself.” Freddy said darkly, completely ignoring Chica’s protest. The two looked at Freddy with a weird expression and sighed. “Fine, I can see that you’re going to have to learn the hard way. Just don’t expect me or Chica to help out in this fruitless endeavor anymore.” Bonnie crossed his arms and looked away with a huff. Chica looked at him sadly before turning away. Freddy was livid. First, that stupid horse showed up and ruined the whole game plan, and now his only friends betrayed him. He would make triple sure that she would get what’s coming to her tomorrow. Right now, he was angry enough to take on Zeus himself. That pony was going down! ____________________ “-and then they gave us this peace offering. Isn’t he cute?!?!” Luna finished her story and levitated the empty Freddy suit to Celestia’s face. Celestia backed away. She didn’t see why Luna thought this thing was cute. It nearly gave her a heart attack when she spotted it at the breakfast table that morning. Oddly enough, though, she felt as if it were pleading for help. “Ah, Luna, are you sure that this didn’t belong to the pizzeria?” Celestia asked, not able to take her eyes away from the empty eyes. “Well, of course it belonged to the pizzeria. It was given to us, though, and now it’s ours.” Luna said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Celestia shook her head and focused on Luna. That was a difficult task since it felt like the suite was boring holes into her skull. “You said that the pranks they set up were dangerous. How dangerous were they?” Celestia said, trying to focus on her sister’s safety. “Let’s see, there were flame throwers, bowling balls, knives, a chainsaw-“ “What?!?!?” Celestia interrupted her sister. She was suspicious that foul play was afoot at the shady restaurant, but now she knew that the animatronics were up to no good. Her sister could have been severely injured, or worse! She didn’t want Luna going there alone anymore. She had to have somepony by her side at all times. She would love it if her sister didn't go there at all. She knew she was being a tad bit overprotective, but she just got her back after a thousand years. She didn't want to lose her again so quickly. “Come on, Tia! They just didn’t know how to play a practical joke! They made up for it with Goldie!” Luna once again held the suit to Celestia’s face. Great, she named it. “Luna,” Celestia pushed away the creepy thing, “I have a really bad feeling about this place. I think you need the guards with you at all times.” “Tiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaa!!!!!” “Luna, last night proved that they are up to something! Robot, or not, it’s just common sense that you don’t use a chainsaw in a ‘prank.’ I only want you to be safe, dear sister.” “We had a feeling that you’d say something of that nature, but we don’t need a foalsitter!” “Luna, if I was the one going, I’d have guards with me. You aren’t being babied. I just want extra assurance that my little sister will make it home safe.” Celestia smiled warmly. Luna looked up at her and said, “Really? You’d have guards with you?” Celestia nodded. “Fine, I’ll have the guards with me.” Luna said in defeat. “By the way, how much have you read on these night shifts?” Celestia was happy to push the subject of the guards away. “Um, almost a full chapter.” Luna deflated. She must have been interrupted constantly to not even get a chapter read. Luna was the second fastest reader Celestia knew, the first being Twilight. This only worried Celestia more. “We were thinking about quitting so we can get some reading done.” Luna admitted. “Oh, really?” Celestia hid her elation at Luna wanting to quit, since she seemed so sad about leaving the pizzeria. “Yeah, we were going to stick it out the rest of the week before quitting. We’re just sad that the humans will have to go back to replacing the night guard on a weekly basis.” Luna frowned at her pancakes. “Oh, I’m sure I can find a good replacement. I have one in mind already.” Celestia said before sipping her coffee. She did too. All it would take is a letter to an acquaintance and they’d be all set. “Really?” Luna perked up at this. Luna jumped across the table and hugged her sister at Celestia’s nod. “Oh, we are most grateful sister! We cannot wait until we can get an entire book read in the night!” Luna’s hug ended and she went back to her seat to eat her breakfast, or dinner, before she went to bed. Celestia was positive that the replacement would definitely keep the animatronics at bay. From what her acquaintance spoke about him, he seemed to be more than capable of handling a pizzeria at night with killer animatronics. Yes, Luna would soon be free of that wretched place, and she could sleep without images of her sister injured or worse going through her head. All she had to do was stick it out the rest of the week.
Night fourAuthor's Note Happy late Thanksgiving everypony! This chapter is really just setting things up for tomorrow night, so it probably isn't as funny. The next chapter will be the grand finale, and all of you will finally figure out who the replacement is. I have to say that I laughed when about 94% of the guesses were Discord. I will admit that he was the first to come to mind with me too. But I figured that it would be too obvious, even though it would be funny. Maybe I'll have him work in the second game. I need time to collect my thoughts for the sequel. I promise you all that the one I have chosen to replace Luna will be a complete surprise. However, since my choice is a little unfair I will give you a hint. You could say that the acquaintance is the replacement's "uncle". No more clues until next chapter! Enjoy! Night four Freddy waited by the office, just out of sight. It was almost midnight and the pony should be there soon. He was alone and he intended to not hold back. Not that he was holding back the previous night, but tonight especially. He was extremely angry at that stupid horse for ruining everything. She would pay dearly. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. He peered inside the office and saw the two guards from yesterday still in their costumes. They were followed by the bane of his existence. She was in her costume as well. It took all he had to keep from lunging at her. He couldn’t afford to mess up tonight if he wanted her gone. The sound of the phone ringing caught the ponies’ attention. Freddy knew that this was when they killed the phone guy. He figured that this should get some form of fear out of the horse. He watched their expressions as the call went on. He watch as the guards tried and failed to keep their worry from showing. They jumped slightly when the call ended abruptly. Much to Freddy’s dismay, Luna didn’t seem scared. She seemed sad that the phone guy was dead, but there was no trace of the emotion he so desperately wanted to see on her face. However, the guards seemed unnerved. Freddy smirked at them. Yes, he wanted to get his revenge on the blue pony, but he couldn’t resist playing mind games with the frightened. He would toy with them some, and then get his revenge. He moved to the corner of the east hall and stared deeply into the camera. He let out a laugh and waited for the guards to check the cameras. This was going to be fun. ____________________ Luna sighed sadly. She liked the phone guy. She felt like he was a friend leaving these messages night after night. She wished that he thought of wearing a costume so that he would still be alive. She had hoped to meet him and tell him about her experience being a security guard at the pizzeria. “What was that?” Moon Dancer asked. Luna listened for a second and heard laughter. “Check the camera!” Night Breeze said. They pulled up the camera and saw that Freddy was gone. “Where’s the bear?” Moon Dancer sounded panicked. “Fear not. The animatronics move around at night. Remember?” Luna reminded them. “Oh my Celestia! Find him! Find him quickly!” They rotated cameras and found Freddy. He was close to the camera closest to them on the right, and was inches away from the camera. The two guards yelped and closed the right door. What has gotten into them? “Princess, it isn’t safe here! We have to leave!” Night Breeze tried to push her out the other door, but she stopped them. “What art- we mean, what are you talking about? It’s perfectly safe here! The phone guy died because he wasn’t in a costume. We are, so we’re safe.” Luna pointed out. The guards relaxed some before Freddy started laughing again. They shifted on their hooves anxiously. They were ordered to stay by her side all night, so no matter how much they wanted to leave, they couldn’t. They sighed, resigned to their fate, and checked the camera again. Freddy wasn’t there so they opened to door, and started to look for him. They switched to the stage and saw Bonnie and Chica sitting and playing cards. They stared at the scene in confusion before Freddy’s laugh snapped them out of their trance. They stared to look for the bear animatronic again. Luna levitated the book to her face. She hoped that she could get some reading done tonight. The guards could keep the robots busy while she attempted to finish the book. In the back of her mind, she wondered if they would get to see Foxy. ____________________ Foxy watched as the baby spiders crawled everywhere. They hatched about an hour ago and were busy exploring their home. He was proud of them, as if they were his own. Only an hour old and already able to move so quickly. If he had any tear ducts, he’d cry tears of joy. His army was born and soon they’d take over the family pizza place. ____________________ She hoped he showed up soon. She still needed to fix his arms. The guards’ random yells and the occasional door closing kept breaking her concentration. She would get through part of a sentence before being interrupted. She tried to double her concentration, but that failed too. The guards could be noisy when they put their minds to it. She sighed in defeat and resigned to just watching her guards spazz out. ____________________ “I win again!” Chica gloated for the twentieth time that night. Bonnie sighed and threw his cards in frustration. Playing cards lost its charm after he lost to the chicken the tenth time. He was sure that she was cheating somehow. No one could win constantly. Or Bonnie just sucked at playing Old Maid. “I didn’t know how boring the night could be without an agenda to follow.” Bonnie complained. “I’m having a blast!” Chica said still gloating. “Because you keep winning.” Chica shrugged, “It’s not my fault that you suck at playing Old Maid.” “Let’s do something else.” “Like what? We only have these cards after Freddy destroyed the Monopoly board.” Bonnie leaned forward and scratched his chin. They could play another card game, but Bonnie was going to burn them if Chica won again. Freddy destroyed the only other game they could play after losing Park Place and Boardwalk to Foxy. They could try some of the arcade games, but they would drain the power within thirty minutes. “Why don’t we go talk to Luna?” Chica suggested. “Because Freddy would kill us if we did. Also, we’re afraid of her, remember?” Bonnie dismissed the idea. “But she thought that Golden Freddy was a peace offering. She’s not angry with us anymore, and Freddy is already mad at us. What more damage can we do?” “We tried to kill her the first three nights, though.” “She doesn’t know, and she doesn’t have to find out.” Chica pointed out. She had him there. She was incredibly dense about what their intentions were. If they kept that illusion up, she would be less likely to hurt Freddy. They may not be on the best terms at the moment, but Bonnie cared for Freddy like a brother. They had been through thick and thin, and it would devastate everyone if he was reduced to ash because he ticked off a pony princess. “Alright, let’s go talk to her.” Bonnie got up and took the lead to the back office. They spotted Freddy as he rushed to the bathroom while he laughed like a maniac. Bonnie wondered what he was doing. This couldn’t possibly be his plan. It was proven the past few nights that Luna seemingly feared nothing, so the scare tactic wouldn’t work. They approached the office and were met by a couple of scared guards and a bored Luna. The guards screamed and closed the door before he and Chica could walk in. Every time Freddy laughed and switched places the screams increased in pitch. They almost sounded like a couple of school girls. Bonnie looked a Chica in confusion and decided to knock on the door. There were more screams followed by an annoyed groan. “Enough you two! This is ridiculous!” Luna’s voice was muffled by the door. “Your highness, you aren’t going to let them in, are you?” “You’re draining the power, and besides, they knocked. Tis only polite to let them in.” Luna said as she opened the door. The guards were now huddled together in a corner. Luna looked at them and sighed. “We though you two were tough night guards, ready to take on anything in the Everfree.” Luna said exasperatedly as Bonnie and Chica entered. Chica was munching on popcorn as she looked at the scene in front of her with an air of interest about her. Bonnie wondered where the popcorn came from before dismissing it. He learned not to ask when it came to Chica and her food. To their benefit, the guards were in front of Luna in an instant. They may be scared, but they were loyal to the one they were assigned to protect. They won some admiration from Bonnie for their bravery. “Relax, we only came here to talk.” Bonnie tried to put the guards at ease, but they fainted when he started to talk. “Thou speakest?” Luna asked in a bit of shock. “What?” Chica asked with a mouth full of popcorn. “We meant to say; you talk?” “Oh. Yeah. We talk.” Chica shoved the last of her popcorn in her mouth. “Well, what doest thou want to talk about?” Bonnie shrugged and said, “Whatever you want to talk about. We were bored and decided to pay you a visit.” “Weren’t you playing cards earlier?” Luna asked. “We were, but Chica kept winning.” Bonnie grumbled. “You’re just jealous of my mad skills.” Chica stuck her tongue out at Bonnie. Luna laughed and said, “Well, we’re glad you came to visit before the week ended.” “What happens at the end of this week?” Chica asked. “We quit and a replacement comes in.” “What? You’re leaving?” Bonnie faked sadness but he was relieved deep down. “Yes, we accepted because we were given the impression of being in a quiet restaurant for six hours. We planned on getting some reading done, but we’ve yet to get a full chapter read.” Luna levitated the book for emphasis. “So, who’s the replacement?” Chica asked. Luna shook her head, “We don’t know. Celestia said she knew an acquaintance that could send a good replacement.” Bonnie’s inner relief turned to worry. What if the replacement was more powerful than the mare in front of him? “Who’s Celestia?” Chica didn’t seem bothered by the new bit of info. “Our older sister.” Bonnie listened to Chica and Luna as they talked. He was worried about the replacement. Was it a pony like Luna? Luna said that her sister knew someone who could sent the replacement. Her sister was bound to be a pony as well. He glanced at the unconscious guards. They were ponies. He was certain that he would be a pony. “WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE?!?!?” Freddy yelled, shaking Bonnie out of his thoughts. Freddy was in the east doorway, and he looked angrier than ever. This wasn’t going to end well. ____________________ “WELL?????” Freddy asked the two animatronics in front of him. The cameras were off for a while which prompted Freddy to check up on the guards. He was shocked, betrayed, and angry that the rabbit and chicken that he once called his friends were being chummy with the enemy. “Chica and Bonnie came to visit us. Do you want to join?” the pony chirped from her swivel chair. Freddy heard groaning and spotted the two guards on the ground. They managed to stand and spotted the animatronics before fainting. The larger pony rolled her eyes in annoyance before turning to Freddy and waited for his answer. “Can I talk with you in private?” Bonnie asked. Freddy’s anger only grew. First he turned coward and now he betrayed him. He had no right to address him like that. “No you may not!” Freddy narrowed his eyes at the rabbit. “Freddy, I strongly suggest that you leave and have a talk with Bonnie.” Chica said as she crossed her arms and glared at him. “No, I will not! Have you seen the name in front of the building? It says ‘Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.’ Not ‘Bonnie Bunny’s Pizza’ or ‘Chica Chicken’s Pizza.’ I’m the boss here! You follow my orders; not vice versa!” Freddy was frothing at the mouth. “Yeesh! This is worse than the Monopoly incident.” Bonnie said while Chica face palmed. “Foxy cheated and you two know it!” “Freddy, please calm down. You’re over reacting.” Bonnie tried to sooth the angry bear. “I AM NOT OVER REACTING!” “Yes you are!” Chica shouted. “Am not!” “Are so!” “Am not!” “Are so!” “Am not!” “Are so!” “Am not!” “Are so!” “SILENCE!” The three animatronics turned to the blue pony that stopped the arguing. She was rubbing her temples and had an annoyed look on her face. “We do not know what you are arguing about, but it ends here.” She said in an equally annoyed tone. “Who put you in charge?!?!” Freddy challenged. How dare she try and tell him what to do. She should be cowering at his very presence, not looking at him like a tired mother looks at her disobedient child. She needed to learn her place. “The manager of this establishment. Now we are going to give each of you a chance to plead your case. Do not interrupt when one is talking. Bonnie will go first, then Chica, and then Freddy.” “I refuse to acknowledge your authority!” Freddy wasn’t going to let this abomination of nature outrank him. “You are trying our patience, Freddy.” The pony growled. “Uh, Freddy, I think we should do what she says.” Bonnie whispered. “NO! I will not listen to a traitor like you!” “That’s it!” The pony shouted. Freddy felt himself being lifted into the air. He was being carried to the broom closet by the horse’s magic. “If you won’t listen, then a time out is in order!” She said firmly. Freddy was thrown into the broom closet and heard the door slam and lock after him. He tried to bust the door down, but he found that it wouldn’t budge. He yelled in frustration and slumped against the door. He would have his revenge tomorrow then. No distractions! ____________________ Luna walked back into the office to confront the rabbit and chicken about Freddy. He was being unnecessarily stubborn about something, and she intended to find out what. “Right then,” she sat back in the chair, “explain what that was all about.” “Well, he’s very angry right now.” Bonnie rubbed the back of his neck. “We caught that, but why is he angry?” “Uh, well, most guards looked like endoskeletons, you see, and… uh…” Bonnie looked at Chica for help. “And you didn’t look like one per se. So you threw us off completely, and Freddy really hasn’t been one for change.” Chica finished. So she didn’t look like an endoskeleton. She figured that much, but that left her with another question. “Why did you try to stuff us inside a suit if we didn’t look like an endoskeleton?” “Uh… well…” Chica said, as if trying to find an answer. “Well, you threw us off. We were so used to dealing with endoskeletons that when you came along, we really didn’t know what to do with you. It took us a while to finally realize that we didn’t need to stuff you into a suit.” Bonnie finished while Chica nodded violently. “So we take it that Freddy is too stubborn to admit that we aren’t an endoskeleton. Which is why he called you two traitors, correct?” The animatronics nodded in agreement. So that’s what was going on. Freddy was having a hard time coping with her not looking like an endoskeleton. He must really hate change if he was willing to go all out just to stuff her in a suit. Well, one more night was all he had to put up with from her. But she felt like he needed to have a good talk to get his feelings out. “We wish to talk to Freddy.” The two robots looked at her as if she grew a second head. “But he wants to stuff you in a suit. Are you sure that’s a wise idea.” Bonnie said. “Yes, we have found that talking things out is a good way to relieve stress. It could really help him cope, so the next time an unusual guard shows up, he can deal with it.” “He’s really angry right now. I don’t think he’d be willing to talk.” Chica said as she munched on a pop tart. Luna vaguely wondered where the pastry came from. “Not tonight. He needs time to cool off. Tomorrow we will have a therapy session, and he can work out his issues.” The two animatronics showed amusement before forcing it away. Luna raised an eyebrow at them before Chica snorted. Chica’s snort caused Bonnie to start chuckling. “And what, pray tell, is so amusing?” “J-Just the thought of F-Freddy in therapy!” Chica said now doubled over in laughter. Luna imagined the giant bear animatronic laying on a red couch talking about his woes. Luna was reminded of the Element of Generosity, and how she was overly dramatic. Luna snorted at the idea of Freddy acting like Rarity. She lost it when she imagined Freddy with large eyelashes and a styled, purple mane calling everyone “dahling”. Alright so it was a little funny. The sound of the chimes alerted the three that six o’clock had arrived. Bonnie offered to let Freddy out of time out as Luna tried to wake her still unconscious guards. Some help they turned out to be. They acted like school girls surrounded by spiders. She sighed and decided to carry them back to the castle. She levitated them and exited the building. She had a day full of reading ahead. She had to have some sort of idea about how psychology worked if she was going to help Freddy. The poor bear needed to learn that she was there to be his friend. And was not there to be stuffed inside an animatronic suit. She thought of consulting Twilight. If anypony would know anything about what books to read, it would be Twilight. With that decision, she headed over to Ponyville. She could send her sister a letter to let her know that she was okay, but she needed Twilight’s help if she was going to be ready for tomorrow night.
Night five“… so as you can see, traumatic events in early life can cause problems in later life. That brings us to our next chapter where…” Twilight continued to drone on about psychology. Luna sat at the desk Twilight set up for her, and tried to stay awake. She barged into Twilight’s home right after she lowered the moon, and asked for her help on finding the books she needed. She didn’t expect Twilight to go into lecture mode. It was putting Luna to sleep, and it didn’t help that she was normally asleep during the day. She was so tired that she could just close her eyes and- “PRINCESS LUNA!” Twilight yelled as she snapped a yardstick on Luna’s desk. “We’re awake!” Luna said as she snapped to attention. “Are you okay? I called your name fifteen times before you actually woke up.” “Sorry Twilight Sparkle. We’re usually sleeping right now. We don’t know how we’re going to stay awake tonight.” Luna finished with a large yawn. “Have you tried coffee?” “Coffee? What is this-“ “Luna!” Twilight snapped the yardstick on the desk once more. “It wasn’t us!” Luna said as she snapped awake. “You don’t know what coffee is?” “Nay.” Luna rubbed her eyes sleepily. “Wait right here. I’ll be right back.” Twilight said as she walked into the kitchen. “That’s good Twilight Sparkle. That’s-“ Luna didn’t need to be startled out of her sleep this time. Instead she smelled something. This something smell was the very same smell that came from her sister’s drink every morning. Luna never liked that smell, which is why she never asked her sister about it. Twilight entered the room with a mug filled with the dark, smelly liquid. “This is coffee?” Luna questioned as she grabbed the mug with her magic. “Yeah, is there a problem?” “Indeed there is. This coffee is exactly what our sister drinks each morning. We never liked the smell.” “Coffee is an acquired taste, but you’ll grow to like it, I’m sure.” Twilight smiled while Luna looked at the mug skeptically. “Just try it, princess.” Luna slumped her shoulders and sighed. She really needed a pick-me-up, but did she really need to drink this? The smell alone was making her nauseous. “What if I put sugar and cream in your coffee? Will you try it then?” Twilight suggested. Luna nodded and watched as Twilight went into the kitchen. She fought to stay awake, but with each passing second her eyelids got heavier. Twilight reappeared just as she was about to doze off, yet again. Luna was surprised that the liquid was a different color. Instead of a black color, it was more of a tan color. The smell was different too. It smelled like French Vanilla mixed with a roasted scent. This was way more appetizing than before. She took a sip, and froze. Her taste buds danced with the unfamiliar taste in her mouth, but it wasn’t an unpleasant taste. It was a marvelous taste. It was quite possibly the best taste she ever tasted. Okay, not the best because cake was still good, but it was a close second. Without thinking, she started to guzzle the scalding hot liquid. Her mouth and throat burned, but she ignored it. She simply needed more. “We would like more, please!” Luna asked more awake than she was only seconds ago. “Uh, are you sure? It looks like one cup is enough, and it hasn’t even gone through your system yet.” Twilight asked. “Are you disobeying your princess, Miss Sparkle?” “No! I would never do such a thing!” the young unicorn looked nervous now. “Then another cup! Cream and sugar!” Twilight sighed in defeat and said, “Yes, your highness.” ___some time later___ “Anothercup! Wedemandanothercup!” Luna was now wide eyed and hyper. She had already consumed eight cups of that wonderful beverage known as coffee, and she wanted more. “But, princess, you don’t really need another one.” Moon Dancer said. He and Night Breeze were asleep in the other room most of the day. They woke up when Luna crashed through the door and demanded that they try coffee, despite the fact that they already drank coffee. “Don’tquestionyourprincessNightBreeze! Weknowwhatwe’redoing!” Luna said, grabbing the poor night guard. “I’m Moon Dancer.” “Youalllookalike! Twilightwedemandanothercup!” Luna switched gears and grabbed Twilight. “I really think you’ve had enough, princess.” “Nowehaven’t! Anothercup!” “I’m sorry, but I can’t let you drink more coffee. You’re already too hyper.” “Wearenotandifyouwon’tgetanothercupmyguardswill! NightDancerMoonBreezegetmemorecoffee!” Luna dropped Twilight and turned to her guards. “Uh, Princess, are you sure you-“ “That’sadirectorderfromyoursuperior! Dowemakeourselvesclear?” Luna said as she stomped her front hooved to prove her point. She stomped so hard that the floor cracked. “Yes, your highness.” The guards sighed before sending an apologetic gaze at Twilight. ___some more time later___ “WE CAN SEE SOUNDS!” Luna was on her twentieth cup and was shaking like mad. “Okay! Enough is enough! No more coffee for you!” Twilight said as she barricaded the kitchen. “TIS ALRIGHT! WE DRANK ALL THE COFFEE YOU HAD!” Luna turned her dilated eyes to Twilight. “You WHAT?” “WE MUST BE LEAVING! TIS ALMOST TIME TO GO TO THE PIZZERIA!” Luna encased her guards in her magic and flew through the roof of the library, creating a hole. Twilight looked around at the mess Luna made. Books were scattered everywhere. Luna was trying to find psychology books, but got angry at a shelf in the fiction section for not having the books she was looking for. She destroyed the entire section as punishment for “treason”. Twilight looked sadly at her destroyed books. “Spike, it’s safe to come out now!” Twilight called. Spike hid in the basement after Luna’s twelfth cup. At that point she was throwing things around to see if they could fly, and Spike was afraid she would throw him too. “Wow, this place is a mess.” Spike said as he peaked around the door. “I don’t have to clean it all up, do I?” he asked and Twilight face hoofed. ____________________ Freddy waited for midnight to roll by. He would accomplish his goal tonight if it killed him. The entire week was a mess, and it would only be rectified if he got the pony. He could have his revenge on the traitors later, but the pony had to go first. So nothing would stop him. It finally turned midnight, and the next thing he knew, he was on the ground. Bonnie and Chica were holding him down. Freddy was shocked for a moment, but it melted away quickly when the rage kicked in. They, not only betrayed him, but now they wanted to destroy him too? And to think they were once his friends. “What do you two think you’re doing?” Freddy asked icily. “Making sure you don’t run away before the therapy session even starts.” Chica answered smoothly. “Therapy session? What are you nimrods talking about?” “Hey, no name calling! And Luna decided to give you a therapy session tonight.” Bonnie said as he sat on top of Freddy. “So you’re on her side now! I knew it!” “Freddy, it’s either this or get destroyed while trying to beat someone more powerful than you. Please use your common sense!” Bonnie pleaded. “Say it’s a little after midnight. Where’s Luna?” Chica asked. Right after she asked, a crash came from the back door and Luna zoomed into the room. She carried some nauseous looking guards and four cups of coffee. She was shaking violently and her pupils were big enough that her eyes almost looked completely black. “WE HAVE ARRIVED WITH COFFEE!” she smiled a large crazed smile before chugging down a cup. “Uh, Luna? Are you okay?” Chica asked. “NEVER BETTER!” she looked at the bear being held down by the other two animatronics. “FREDDY!” she pushed Bonnie and Chica off of him and got in his face. “TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD!” she said loud enough that Freddy was sure that some damage was done to his ears. “I, uh… what?” Freddy was thoroughly confused. He was confused about why she was so hyper. He was confused about why she was drinking coffee when she didn’t the other nights. But, he was mostly confused about how strong she was. A creature that small shouldn’t be strong enough to hold him down like that, but she was doing so with ease. Freddy was starting to see what Bonnie was talking about. “YOUR CHILDHOOD! YOU HAD A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENE WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER WHICH IS WHY YOU’RE SO ANGRY NOW, CORRECT?” Luna seemed to get more and more hyper with each word she spoke. “Ummm… yeah?” It took this mare to get hyper and hold him down to realize that he truly was beat. He just wanted the horse to be gone now. He could easily fake his way through before she had to leave. He couldn’t believe how blind he was. “EXCELLENT! COFFEE BREAK!” Luna chugged down another cup. “TELL US OF YOUR CHILDHOOD NOW! WHO WERE YOUR PARENTS? WERE THEY NICE? DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS? ARE THEY NICE? HAVE YOU EVER HAD COFFEE BEFORE? YOU MUST IF YOU HAVEN’T! IT’S NECTAR FROM HEAVEN ITSELF!” Luna took a huge gulp from the third cup to prove her point. “Uh, ummm-“ “TRY SOME!” Luna pried Freddy’s jaw open and poured the hot beverage into his mouth. Freddy felt himself go into spasms as the liquid messed with his circuits. He spazzed out before things cleared up some. He really had to focus to move, but he wasn’t completely broken now, so he was glad. “GOOD RIGHT? TELL US IT’S GOOD?” Luna jumped around Freddy. “Y-y-yeah, it’s g-g-good.” Freddy focused hard to speak, and even then it came out as a stutter. He needed a mechanic. “EXCELLENT! NOW TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD!” Luna demanded once more. Freddy didn’t have a childhood per se. None of them did. They were built and activated, nothing else. She was relentless, though, so he had to make something up. “M-m-my father never a-a-appreciated anything I d-d-did. H-h-he liked my s-s-sister better than m-m-me.” Freddy said the first thing that came to his mind. “FAVORITISM! SUCH AN ACT SHAN’T GO UNPUNISHED! WHERE IS YOUR FATHER! WE MUST SPEAK WITH HIM!” Luna downed the last of her coffee. “Freddy, what are you doing? We have no parents, and Luna knows that.” Bonnie whispered to Freddy. “T-t-then how come s-s-she asked a-a-about parents and s-s-siblings?” Freddy retorted. “I think the coffee is messing with her mind.” Chica pointed to Luna who was now jogging around the room. “How many cups did she have anyways?” Bonnie asked as he watched Luna destroy a chair for causing her to trip. “Let’s just t-t-try to s-s-survive the n-n-night.” Freddy forced himself up, which took a lot of effort. “Freddy, are you actually making sense now?” Chica asked almost astonished. “Yeah, what happened to ‘I will not be beat by a horse!’” “T-t-things changed w-w-when she managed t-t-to single h-h-handedly hold me d-d-down and d-d-damage me to t-t-the point where I h-h-have to f-f-focus hard to d-d-do the s-s-simplest of tasks.” Freddy admitted. “WAIT ONE SECOND!” Luna nocked Freddy back onto the ground, and she looked mad. “YOU’RE A ROBOT! YOU DON’T HAVE PARENTS! WHY DID YOU LIE TO US?!?!?” Luna had her face inches away from his. “U-u-um….” Freddy couldn’t think of an answer. “He was just trying to humor you. He didn’t want to upset you by shattering the illusion.” Bonnie said quickly. “Many children cried when they found out that we didn’t have parents.” Chica backed him up smoothly. “OH! IN THAT CASE WE APOLOGIZE FOR OUR MISTAKE!” Luna got off of Freddy and pulled him up. Freddy didn’t know which surprised him more; the fact that Bonnie and Chica were smooth liars, or that Luna bought it so easily. She really was naïve, and Freddy was just happy that she was. “WE REMEMBER WHY YOU NEEDED A THERAPY SESSION NOW! YOU HAD TROUBLE ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT WE’RE NOT AN ENDOSKELETON! ARE WE CORRECT SO FAR?” The animatronics said nothing, but they nodded their heads ‘yes’. “EXCELLENT, NOW WHY ARE YOU HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME ACCEPTING THIS?” Luna asked as she paced back and forth. Freddy looked at Bonnie and Chica for help. It was apparent that they made up a story to keep him from the wrath of the pony princess, but he didn’t know what the story was exactly. If he said the wrong thing she could easily see that all of them had lied to her. He shivered at the thought of what would happen next. “He’s a creature of routine. If anything is different he has a hard time accepting it.” Chica vouched for him. “IS THIS TRUE?!?!?” Luna turned to Freddy who only nodded. “A WEEK HAS GONE BY, ARE YOU FEELING BETTER ABOUT A DIFFERENT SECURITY GUARD NOW?” Freddy continued to nod. “THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED! LET’S DRINK COFFEE TO CELEBRATE!” Before anyone could say anything Luna sped through the kitchen door and loud crashing was heard. The crashing continued on before it came to a halt, and Luna reappeared. “WHERE’S THE COFFEE!?!?!” Luna was instantly in front of them. “This is a restaurant for kids. There isn’t any.” Bonnie said backing up slowly. “ADULTS WORK HERE! WHERE IS THEIR COFFEE?!?!?” “They bring theirs from home.” Chica said also backing up. “Princess, I do believe that you’ve had enough.” One of the guards timidly said. “Yeah, when you raised the moon, it practically flew.” The other one chipped in. “ENOUGH IS NEVER ENOUGH!” Luna crashed through the front entrance after stating that. “Uh oh, we’d better go get her before she accuses more people of high treason for not selling coffee.” Said the first guard. The guards flew after their princess, leaving the three animatronics in stunned silence. “I had no idea that coffee was so addictive.” Chica said. Freddy could only nod in agreement. ____________________ Night Breeze was soaring through the sky over the south part of town. Moon Dancer was looking in the north side. The princess was fast when she wanted to be, and the fact that she had countless cups of coffee running through her system didn’t help in the slightest. The two guards easily lost sight of her. They decided to split up to cover more ground. He wasn’t having much luck, though, and he doubted Moon Dancer was any better off. “I don’t get paid enough for this.” He grumbled to himself. He was jerked out of his musings by the sound of screaming. It came from one of the homes in the residential area. “YOUR PRINCESS DEMANDS COFFEE!” Night Breeze face hoofed at the familiar sound of the Royal Canterlot voice. What kind of princess breaks into peoples’ homes, in another country, and demands they make her coffee? Only Luna. Night Breeze dove towards the home the noise was coming from. It was a two story, blue house with grey roofing. The roof had a Luna sized hole in it and the screams sounded like children’s screams. He picked up speed and dove through the hole. He was in a child’s bedroom, a girl if the pink walls said anything about it. He saw a bunk bed and two kids that looked identical. The one on top was trying to get to her sister on the bottom without having to get close to Luna, who was in the middle of the room. “DID WE STUTTER? WE SAID WE DEMAND COFFEE!” Luna yelled and caused the kid on the top bunk to fall. She quickly got up and joined her sister on the bottom bunk. “What is going on in here?!?!?” a man asked as he entered the room. He saw Luna and Night Breeze and froze. He blinked a couple of times, and left the room. He reappeared seconds later and stared right at the two ponies. “ARE YOU THE HEAD OF THIS HOUSEHOLD?” Luna asked. “Honey, you need to come see this!” he called to his mate. “Princess, we should probably leave.” Night Breeze tried to get the princess to go back to the pizzeria. “NOT UNTIL WE’VE HAD OUR COFFEE!” “AMY!!!!!” the man called again. “What is it, Jim? It can’t be too much for-“ a woman stopped mid-sentence after she saw Luna and Night Breeze. “Jim, why are there ponies in our daughters’ room?” she asked her husband. “ARE EITHER OF YOU THE HEAD OF THIS HOUSEHOLD?” Luna asked the two grown-ups. “They talk! Jim, they talk!” the woman said on the verge of freaking out. “It’s okay, Amy. I’ll handle this.” Jim stepped forward. “Hello! My name is Jim! This is my wife, Amy!” He said loud and clear. “Jim,” he pointed to himself, “Amy,” he pointed to his wife. “VERY WELL THEN, JIM! ARE YOU THE HEAD OF THIS HOUSEHOLD?” Luna asked for a third time. “Yes! I am a father! These are my kids, Elizabeth and Mary!” he pointed to the two girls that were watching with wide eyes. “CHARMED! WE ARE PRINCESS LUNA, RULER OVER THE NIGHT! WE DEMAND THAT YOU MAKE US COFFEE!” Luna yelled in the man’s face. “Coffee?” the man questioned. “YES, COFFEE! YOU DO HAVE SOME, RIGHT?” “Erm, yeah, but not very much. I was going to go to the store tomorrow.” Amy said as she entered the room. “SERVE IT TO US!” “Princess Luna, do you really think this is legal?” Night Breeze stepped in. “BUT OF COURSE! WE ARE A PRINCESS AFTER ALL! WHAT’S THE POINT OF BEING A PRINCESS IF YOU CAN’T ABUSE YOUR POWER EVERY SO OFTEN?!?!?” “But, you’re princess in Equestria. You don’t have jurisdiction here.” “DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY! COFFEE, NOW!” she turned to the thoroughly confused family. “There’s a land called, Equestria?” one of the twins asked. “Yes, there is.” Night Breeze answered. “Is it full of talking ponies?” the other twin asked. “Yes.” “Can we go see it?” the two asked in unison. “IF YOUR PARENTS GIVE US COFFEE, YOU CAN!” Luna answered the two. The twins suddenly ran to their parents and begged for them to give the “magic horsy” some coffee. “Princess, if you come back with me, we’ll stop by the store and buy as much coffee as you want.” Night Breeze knew he would regret that statement, but it was the only way to get her out of the family’s house. “LEAD THE WAY MOON DANCER!” “I’m Night Breeze.” “JUST TAKE US TO THE COFFEE!” Luna practically push the poor guard through the hole in the ceiling. Oh yeah, he was regretting his decision already. ____________________ “Well, you still need to focus to move, but at least you can talk without stuttering now.” Bonnie said as he put away the tools he used to fix Freddy. “Thanks Bonnie, I owe you.” Freddy said as he moved his arms to test how much focus he needed. Bonnie smiled to himself. Sure, this whole ordeal cause a lot of fighting, but now that Freddy realize just how powerful Luna was things were mending. He didn’t expect an apology. Freddy was too proud to apologize. Bonnie was surprised that he admitted a pony was more powerful than him. He was just happy that things were getting better now. Luna let all of them off the hook thanks to some skillful lying on his and Chica’s part. The only one who wasn’t informed was Foxy. Bonnie hoped that the pirate was okay. While he was responsible for the bite of ’87, they were still a family. “Do you think the other two ponies will show up?” Chica asked. One of the guards returned after a while, but there was no sign of the other two. It was apparent that the guard didn’t know where the others were. He was constantly pacing and checking the time. “WE HAVE ARRIVED WITH MORE COFFEE!!!!” Luna said as she reappeared with bags full of coffee and creamer. The missing guard was right behind her with a coffee maker on his back. “Night Breeze, why did you buy more coffee? She’s hyper enough.” The other guard said. “Don’t worry, I bought decaf.” Night Breeze said as he walked into the kitchen. “TO THE COFFEE MACHINE, POSTHASTE!” Luna followed. “Well, she’ll calm down soon, so we may live through-“ “AW! LOOK AT ALL THE BABY SPIDERS!!!!” Luna’s voice interrupted Chica. “Attack me hearties!” Foxy’s voice followed. “Dear, sweet Celestia! They’re everywhere!” yelled one of the guards. “Foxy?” Bonnie asked as they all looked toward the kitchen. The guards continued to scream and Foxy laughed his signature laugh. The other animatronics ran to the kitchen to see Foxy laughing with his arms still backwards and a swarm of baby spiders all over the kitchen. An adult black widow sat atop Foxy’s head. “Foxy, what is going on here? Where have you been?” Freddy asked. The sound of sirens outside caught everyone’s attention as police entered the building. “Everyone on the ground now!” The police shouted and pointed their guns. Their eyes widened as they saw the animatronics, ponies, spiders, and coffee all in the kitchen. They stood in stunned silence at the scene before them. “The boys at the station aren’t going to believe this.” Muttered one in the back. “We receive a couple of calls about breaking and entering someone’s home as well as thievery at a supermarket.” The one closest to them said. “Thievery?” Chica asked as she turned to the ponies. “TIS A LIE! WE LEFT PLENTY OF MONEY!” Luna strolled up the cops. They all tensed up and aimed at Luna. “The money you left isn’t real money.” A female cop said. “Actually, it is real money. It’s Equestrian money.” One of the guards said. “You need American money to pay for the coffee.” “YOU MEAN OUR MONEY ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH?!?!? DOEST THOU EVEN KNOW WHO WE ARE?!?!?” Luna stomped closer. Bonnie felt sorry for the police. They had an angry princess to deal with. “Not another step, or we’ll shoot!” Their pistols and stun guns were suddenly encased in blue magic before they exploded. The cop’s hands were burned and the all fell to the ground in pain. “DON’T YOU DARE THREATEN US AGAIN!!!” Luna said as a lightning bolt flashed outside. “THAT’S ENOUGH LUNA!” Yelled an unfamiliar voice. Everyone turned to see a white pony with a rainbow mane looking at Luna in disappointment. She was taller than the other mare and was adorned in gold jewelry. “TIA!!!! WE WERE ABOUT TO MAKE MORE COFFEE! IT’S LIQUID FROM THE GODS THEMSELVES!!!!!” Luna said completely oblivious to the other’s disappointment. “Luna, no! You’ve had too much coffee as is! You need to calm down!” The white pony dubbed as ‘Tia’ strode forward as the police mad a path for her. Bonnie sensed that she was regal, unlike Luna. “BUT SISTER!” Luna whined. “I said no! Look at you! You can barely stand still! This much coffee isn’t good for you!” Tia said firmly. “THAT MEANS IT’S WORKING! TWILIGHT SPARKLE SAID THAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO WAKE US UP!!!!!” “Yes, it is supposed to wake you up, but you should have listened to her when she said that one cup was enough.” “HOW DO YOU KNOW SHE SAID THAT?!” “She wrote me a letter, but she had to clean up the mess you made in her library first.” “AND BESIDES, HOW CAN COFFEE BE BAD FOR YOU?!?!?” “Too much coffee can cause increased heart rate, muscle spasms, and let’s not forget about the crash at the end.” “CRASH? WHAT CRASH! WE FEel just peachy.” Luna suddenly stopped talking loudly. “Why do we suddenly feel so awful?” Luna asked with a yawn. “You’re crashing. Coffee only gives you temporary energy.” “Oh, why didn’t Twilight tell us?” “I’m sure she did, but you didn’t listen.” “Oh, okay.” Luna yawned again. “We think we’ll-“ Luna fell over, asleep. The large pony shook her head and turned to the cops. “I am terribly sorry for my sister’s behavior. We will return the coffee and leave.” She said apologetically. “Thank you, but what about the breaking and entering?” “Breaking and entering?” Tia asked as she raised an eyebrow to the two pony guards. “She crashed through a family’s house and demanded that they make her coffee.” One of them said while rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. The older sister sighed and rubbed her temples, as if she were getting a migraine. “I’ll have a talk with her later, and she will pay for the damages. Once again, I am terribly sorry.” She said to the police. The sound of the chimes went off to tell everyone that it was six A.M. Tia encased Luna in her magic and placed her on her back. “We’ll take our leave. I took the large chariot so you two won’t have to fly back to Canterlot.” She said to the pony guards who looked immensely relieved. The ponies left and the cops, animatronics, and spiders all stood motionless in the kitchen. The night had been a crazy one, and nobody knew what to do next. “What happened here?!?!?” The manager asked as he walked into the kitchen. Bonnie rubbed his temples. This was going to be a long day. ___the next night in Canterlot__ Luna sat on her bed while Celestia lectured her about behaving so badly in another country. She had heard the lecture twice before. Once before she was banished, and once after her return. She was getting it again because of her behavior the previous night. She felt so ashamed of herself for acting so foalishly. She really wasn’t in her right mind. She swore to never drink coffee again. “Do you understand, Luna?” Celestia asked, her lecture coming to a close. “Yes, sister. We feel so foolish for acting in such a way.” Luna said as she lowered her head. “It’s okay, Luna. All the coffee has been returned and you paid for the damages done to that family’s home. All is forgiven, but you will never drink coffee again.” Luna couldn’t help but smile at that. Coffee really was the root of the problem last night. It was only logical that she never drink it again, or go for a long time without drinking it. “Deal.” She smiled at her sister. “What do you say we go for a flight before I go to bed?” Celestia asked. “Can Goldie come with us?” Luna held up the golden bear with her magic. “Uh, why don’t we fly, just the two of us? I’m sure Goldie won’t mind.” “Oh, okay.” Luna sat down Goldie and adjusted his hat. The two sisters walked to the balcony and took off. They flew around the castle and over the garden. Luna admired her night as she flew over the area Discord used to be imprisoned. “How do you think the replacement is doing?” Luna asked. “He’ll be fine, but it was tough to get him to be the replacement. Vlad Masters drives a hard bargain after all.” ___at the pizzeria___ Bonnie stood at his post on the stage. The past week had been hectic, especially last night. But the animatronics were ready to attack something, and the new guard was perfect. Bonnie had suspicions about him, but he figured that the replacement couldn’t be worse than Luna. And now, they had an army of black widows thanks to Foxy. Midnight rolled by and all the animatronics ran to the back office. They were overly eager after the week they had. They paused at the window to check if it was a pony. It was a human, around the age of fourteen from the looks of it. He had black hair and blue eyes. His shirt was white with a red oval on the chest. He wore blue jeans and red converse. He looked like an average kid, which was good news for the robots. All at once the animatronics lunged at the kid, only for him to slip through their grip and the floor. Everyone stood dumbfounded. It was as if he wasn’t there to begin with. “Looking for me?” an unfamiliar voice asked from behind. The animatronics turned to see the kid floating in mid-air. It was almost like he was a ghost, but he wasn’t. Right? “I don’t believe we’ve met.” Said the kid. A white ring suddenly appeared round his waist and split in two. One was going towards his head while the other went towards his feet. When they reached their destinations they disappeared and the kid looked completely different. He wore a black hazmat suit with white gloves, boots, and belt. His eyes were a glowing green and his hair was snow white. A white DP insignia adorned his chest and completed his look. “I’m Danny Phantom, and I’m your new night guard.” He said as his voice echoed. Bonnie suddenly wished that Luna would return. He had a feeling that thins kid was going to be ten times worse. Author's Note He's gonna catch 'em all 'cause he's Danny Phantom! Gonna catch 'em all 'cause he's Danny Phantom! Gonna catch 'em all 'cause he's Danny Phantom! I told you no one would guess! Anyway, I have a few announcements. Near the beginning of uploading this story, I was talked into doing a more serious version of this story while keeping the lore of FNaF. However, I am horrible at writing serious stories. Every time I tried, it would end up being a comedy with a cheesy beginning. Not only that, but if I write this it would prolong the sequel. So do you guys want me to write a story I never felt strongly about, or do you want me to get started on the sequel? Another thing, The sequel will take a while, because I'm thinking of writing all of the story first, and then post it all at once. No waiting for the next chapter. Well, that's it. Happy New Year!
