The Before Night Begins (Prologue)

Before The Night begins.(Prologue)

The year was 1987, just a few years after humanity learn of the existences of talking ponies from another worlds or as some call them equestrians. It took many years for people and ponies to find some common ground with one another. But, finally people just accepted them. Their princesses Celestia and Luna were even given seats at the UN.

But, that is not the main focus of this tale. It is just background. In The States was a small town called Applewood a great tragedy was about to strike there. Which involved a young man named Doug, six ponies and curse that destroy all who were sucked into it.

Doug is normal teenager, with normal teenage problems. One of those problems being his mother bugging him about getting a job. It was hard to find job in small town and it was even harder for someone his age. Then one day well he was going through paper. He saw an ad for a night time security guard for the newly opened kid’s restaurant.

He was pretty big guy compare to most, so he could easily look the part of guard. He called the number on the ad. After talking with temp on phone. She did quick interview with him and said he had the job. Which was odd to him most company had you do five sheets of paperwork before you even got an interview. But, surely enough a week later he got his uniform in mail with his name on it.

He was starting today on a Monday night. This job was from 10pm to about 3am. The pizza place closed at ten on most days or at least that is what he was told. He was also told that he would have some help at night from other workers.

After finally getting dressed for his first day at work, he walked straight to the restaurant. Applewood was pretty small town so he didn’t really need a car for anything. He usually just walked place and everyone knew where this kid place was. It was one of the few new things that Applewood had gotten over the last few years. The name of this place always stuck out to Doug for some reason.
Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. It was such weird name for kids place. The front of the joint looked inviting enough. It had a bright neon sign just above the doors. He swear that you could see that thing from a mile away. He spotted the three main characters on the sign.

Freddy, the lady bird thing and a Bunny. Even on sign they looked a little weird. He sighed as he entered the building. The place smelled of pizza, and small children. The little kids were running around the place playing the games or they were near the stage listening band of animatronics on stage. A cold shiver ran down his spine as he first saw Freddy and the gang. They were giving him all kinds’ hibbie jibbies.

He looked around trying to find manager or someone who was in charge so he could get to work. The woman on phone did say that he would be staying overnight. That was his job as night guard. He saw no one around until he saw a small pony servicing a small party. He guess it was female pony. He had not seen a lot of them around especially not one with rainbow hair and wings. Normally the few ponies around town were earth ponies that had farm lands in area. So it just shocked him a bit to see one with wings.

After she was finished with party she took the empty trays from table and put them in kitchen. She then spotted the young man who just standing at the entrance at the building she slowly walked over to him.

“You the new night guard?” She asked bluntly with what seemed to be a slightly annoyed tone.

“Umm ya that’s me miss…” He said reading her name tag. “Rainbow Dash?” He asked.

“Ya that would be me. What your name kid? I’m supposed to show you around the place. I will also be on guard duty with you on Wednesdays. We have had a lot of people quit the night shift so the big wigs want two people watching the buildings at night. Someone will be here later to help with the watch but, you going to be alone for a bit. Come on I got to show you everything and make sure animatronics know you.” She said turning around.

“My name is Doug. And know me? How can they know me they are just robots?” He asked a bit confused.

She sighed as she kept walking. “They are special they have these fancy A.I. things in them. Don’t ask me pal that more of question for Twilight.” She said calmly as they walked tonight.

“Who Twilight?” He asked

“Never mind just follow me.” She said.

He followed her to the main room that held the stage for band and few scattered dining tables for families to sit at. Kids were sitting near the stage looking up at Freddy as he talked.

“Hey kiddies we have to take small bbbreak now. But, we will be back for some more fun later on.” He said into fake mic as curtains pulled back. It was strange the way he spoke made it sound like he was trying to say something else.

The small mare lead the young man behind the curtains. Which lead them to hidden stage where the animatronics were recharging. Rainbow Dash got up close to machines but, Doug stay back. Up close they were even creepier then he thought.

“Hey guys! Freddy, Bonnie, Chica.” She said as they all looked at her turning their heads.

“This is new night guard. Don’t give him any trouble tonight ok? This is fifth one we have here and I like to keep him so I don’t have to be here so much.” She said pointing to him with her hoof.

The bots just stared at him saying nothing. This stare was not like anything Doug has seen. Rainbow Dash just sighed as she turned around. “Great just scare the guy away.” She muttered as she walked back off the stage. “Come on newbie I got to show you more.” She yelled.

They kept staring at him until left the stage. He was already getting more freaked out and place this had not even gotten dark yet. The mare lead Doug to back of the building through what seemed to be a repair shop area. As they walked through the area Doug noticed two bots that were just laying on ground.

One of them looked like a fresh corpse that picked clear by scavengers. It looked kind of like bonnie but, it was missing face and an arm. A few feet away from that one was fox looking bot. It had hook for hand and eye patch. Some kind of pirate themed bot he guessed.

“Don’t worry about those they barely move if at all. They are mostly used for parts. There is supposed to be three of them but, one of them is not here…huh. Maybe they using that one for parts. I really hope that is the case that one even freaks me out.” She stated calmly as she kept moving. Doug was hoping that was the case as well because he didn’t want to meet the one that freaked her out.

They walked into what looked like gifted shop area that was filled with toys near the counter was a large green present. As they walked into room Doug heard strange sound coming from speaker it was the sound of music box playing.

“What is that?” He asked

“Ooo that just to make sure one of the bots does not freak out on us. We tried turning it off once but, the thing went nuts and screamed bloody murder. So we keep it on, plus the kids kind of like tune. This is where the kids get prizes for tricks they get from the games. If you ever have to work a day shift you will probably be in here making sure no one takes anything.” She said

He nodded as they moved on. She led him back to the repair room before making left down this dark hallway. It lead to an open room with no doors. It had small desk with papers all over and few monitors that showed difference parts of the building.

“This is the security office. This where you will be at nights. All you have to do is seat here and watching the building. Your shift starts went I lock up building for night. You got some keys in the desk and like I said before you will have someone helping you tonight. But, they won’t get here till much later. You will be alone for a few hours.

Don’t worry the head guard will call you tonight and explain everything. You will do just fine pal so don’t worry. There are some sodas and few snacks in that tiny fridge over there. Take what you want it is open to staff. I got to go back to kiddies now. Just watch the monitors for now. When everyone is gone I will wave at the camera and lock the main doors. At that time the chief should call ya with what to do at night. Alright?” The mare said.

He nodded as he sat down in the old chair. She exited the room and went back to work. He watched monitors for about an hour. Most of the people left the restaurant before the staff did. Rainbow Dash turn off everything and waved to camera before locking him in.

That is when the phone went off. It was the start of the first night at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.
