The First Night...

Bonebeat sighed as he looked at the newspaper in his little hut by the Everfree Forest. He needed bits since his original workplace was ruined. He saw an ad for a night guard shift at a place called Pinkie's Pizzeria. He smiled at the thought of as many pizzas as he wanted. He read it over and smiled even more. They just needed a night guard. Bonebeat thought he was just the right pony for it since he's usually only awake at night. He went to the pizzeria and filled out his form for the job. He was later accepted and he smiled widely. While he was walking out, he heard some pony say he was sorry for the pony who got the job. Beat shrugged it off, thinking they may be jealous.

Later...

Bonebeat sat down at his chair for his first night on the job. He looked around his office seeing a poster, a desk, and a fan that was running. He looked to the left, seeing two buttons that said 'light' and 'door'. He wondered why he would need doors. He jumped at hearing a phone ring. He picked it up.

"Hello?" Beat asked.

"Uh hey there dude, I'm Rainbow Dash, I was the last person who um, got the job you have now. Listen, I'm just going to say this, you've made a very poor career choice," said the voice on the phone. He shrugged at the poor career choice part. "Alright, let me get the um, policy welcome out of the way. Welcome to Pinkie's Pizzeria where family and friends can have wonderful fantasticly, blah blah blah, okay now listen newbie, the uh animatronics can really um, wonder a bit," Beat's looked at the phone confused. "They have some sort of 'free roaming mode or something like that. So if they come too close, close the doors. Don't let them in at all cost. If they get you, well, they stuff you into a suit. That wouldn't be bad if it wasn't for the gears and stuff. So the only parts of you to see the light of day would be your eyes. It's worse than what happened during the bite of 87', it's kind of surprising to see that ponies can survive without their frontal lobe... Yeah, so you can find the monitor at your desk. Oh and close the door when necessary, the company's trying to save power and money, so don't abuse the power you have... Alright, talk to ya tomorrow! Bye!". The phone hung up. Bonebeat was looking at the phone with pin-pricked eyes. He looked at the cameras and chuckled.

"She was probably just kidding heheh, these are just animatronics right?" He asked himself as he looked at the animatronics. The trio on stage was Pinkie, the singer, Twilight the guitarist, and Fluttershy, the one wearing a bib. Bonebeat knew that there was a fourth. He looked at Pirate's Cove to see a curtain covering the robo-Rainbow Dash. Bonebeat actually felt sorry for it. Soon calmed down and looked at the stage. He felt himself shake like a fragile leaf. Twilight was gone. He searched frantically and saw her in the backstage. She was standing next to the door. Bonebeat was about to hyperventilate when he slapped himself and kept calm. He looked at the camera again and yelped when Twilight's eyes changed and she was close to the camera. He then started shaking again and he checked the stage. Fluttershy's gone. He instantly found her next to a table. He calmed down and heard footsteps. He checked the hall and saw that Twilight was very close to the room. He slammed the door shut.

"GO AWAY TWILIGHT!!" He yelled. He swore he saw Twilight bent her face into a smile. He checked on Fluttershy and saw that she was leaving the table and into the hall. He started to reach the door button when he heard the sound of bells ringing. He sighed happily and looked out the left door to see Twilight gone. He quickly walked out of the building and to his safe hut. Unknown to him, the animatronics smiled maliciously as he left. He was now huddled into a small corner in his hut. He had a lot of questions for the phone mare. After he finally calmed down, he went off to meet his friends. They met in Sugarcube Corner and he was messing with his fork.

"Um, Bonebeat, are you okay?" Asked Heart as he noticed that Bonebeat looks like he has seen terror from a war.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine Heart, I just had a rough night at my part time job," Bonebeat said.

"You have a part-time job? Where?" Heart asked curious.

"At a pizzeria. I'm working a night shift. I'm not sure if I should keep it though," Bonebeat said. Heart became concerned.

"What happened?" Heart asked. Bonebeat was about to answer when he realized that if he told Heart about it, he would seem crazy.

"I don't want to um, talk about it," he said answering Heart. Heart sighed.

"Alright, but if it gets worse, don't go back okay?" Heart asked. Bonebeat nodded. When the chat was over, Bonebeat went to his home and slept. He knew that tonight is going to be long. He feared that the next night may be his last. He couldn't sleep so he went to get a snack. He ate an apple that Big Mac had given him. It made him smile and once he was finished he went off to bed. He still had questions swimming through his mind. Why are the animatronics alive? Why was the place still open? Why is Rainbow Dash out of order? He would get some of his answers on the next night.
