Author's Note

I forgot to adress the Bite of '87 and Bite of '83 confusion in my blog about me clearing up some of the potential questions about this series. So now I will do that here.

So everyone knows that the Bite of '87 clearly means the Bite of 1987. And I just cleared up that this story takes place in Season 7, so is there a reason why its called "87"?

When I first started making this story, I did not think that any FNAF events would contradict anything in the pony universe. Cuz the main idea was for Starlight to experience the frightening adventure as a night guard with Freddy and his friends like in the game. Nothing else. But then I thought more about it and realize that maybe I should try to blend in the FNAF and MLP verse so it would make more sense. And I hope it did so far.

So the Bite of '83 and the Bite of '87 are numbers that they came up with as to when the events happened after the franchise opened its doors.

So the Bite of '83 takes place 3 years after the franchise was created, and the Bite of '87 takes place 7 years after the franchise created. So they kinda kept track. This will be explained as the series goes on, but for now, just bear with this fact. This shit is hard to answer when you haven't thought of things clearly when writing a new story, and I didn't think things clearly but I am paying the price.

I made this thought-provoking hell and I am trying to tame it.

Anyways, enjoy this chapter. And apologies if its rushed, but I just wanted y'all to have a sneak peek on how the job not only affects Starlight, but Twilight as well.

Necessary

After having a five hour nap in her bedroom, Starlight walked towards the library where Twilight was organizing some books, as usual.

"Twilight?" Starlight peeked her head inside the door. "Are you busy? I want to ask something from you and I don't want to interrupt."

"Oh you're not interrupting anything, come in!" Twilight greeted her and set some books down on a nearby table.

Starlight walked inside the room and closed the door behind her. She looked at her left side to see Spike sleeping on one of the pillows with a candle safely nearby.

"I didn't expect you to pop in." Twilight admitted. "Ever since you worked at Freddy's you never had time for us anymore since you've been overly tired."

"Well Twilight, you're the one insisted that I work this job." Starlight retorted back. "And I work for six hours straight at the dead of night. Of course I'm going to be tired."

"Fair enough." Twilight said with a small tint of sadness. She cleared her throat. "So you said you have some questions?"

"Yes. I want to know the history of the Fredbear's Family Diner, and Freddy Fazbear's Pizza."

"Starlight!" Twilight looked taken aback. "My, my, I did not expect you to ask me questions about the history of Fredbear and Freddy's. Since I just assumed that you didn't want anything to do with the restaurant in general."

"Believe me, I want to stay away from Freddy's Pizzeria as much as possible, but the restaurant has some hidden secrets and a history that just cannot be ignored." she answered back.

"What do you mean by hidden secrets?" Twilight tilted her head.

"Well, Liles, the pony who manages the place, I think, said that there was an incident called The Missing Foals Incident and I was wondering if you heard anything about it."

Twilight was in deep thought.

"Yes, I heard about the incident a while back. And it was not one of the most pleasant news I heard..."

"Do you know what happened?"

"How can any pony not?" Twilight went through one of the bookshelfs near the top and pulled out four pieces of ripped newspaper articles from a book.

"Read these."

Starlight levitated the papers and read them one by one.

Foals vanish at local pizzeria - bodies not found.
Two local foals were reportedly lured into a back room during the late hours of operation at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza on the night of June 26th. While video surveillance identified the pony responsible and led to his capture the following morning, the foals themselves were never found and are presumed dead.

Police think that the suspect dressed as a mascot to earn the foal's trust.

Five foals now reported missing. Suspect convicted.
Five foals are now linked to the incident at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where a stallion dressed as a cartoon mascot lured them into a back room.

While the suspect has been charged, the bodies themselves were never found.

Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has been fighting an uphill battle ever since to convince families to return to the pizzeria.

"It's a tragedy."

Local pizzeria threatened with shutdown over sanitation.
Local pizzeria, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has been threatened again with shutdown by the health department over reports of foul odor coming from the much-loved animal mascots.

Police were contacted when parents reportedly noticed what appeared to be blood and mucus around the eyes and mouths of mascots. One parent alikened them to "reanimated carcasses".

Local pizzeria said to close by year's end.
After a long struggle to stay in business after the tragedy that struck there many years ago, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has announced that it will close by year's end.

Despite a year-long search for a buyer, companies seem unwilling to be associated with the company.

"These characters will live on. In the hearts of foals, these characters will live on." - CEO

Starlight couldn't believe what she just read.

"Tragic, I know." Twilight sipped her drink that was on the nearby end table.

"F-Foals have died in Freddy Fazbear's? In the back room?"

"Seems so. Freddy Fazbear definitely has a checkered past." Twilight took the notes from Starlight and put them back where she had them.

“Are you saying you know that Freddy’s is a death trap?” Starlight was both angry and sad at the same time. “Why did you send me there in the first place knowing that a murder happened there?!”

“Relax, Starlight.” Twilight raised both of her hooves, although Starlight can see a tiny glint of hurt in her eyes. “I knew that a murder happened at that place, but I didn’t know that animatronics were on a killing rampage at night. If I did, I would never have sent my former pupil there.”

Starlight's expression softened and calmed down. Why would she think that Twilight would want to hurt her? She wouldn't do that? Will she?

No.

"I'm sorry, Twilight." Starlight rubbed her forehead. "Things have been stressful lately... and these sudden new incidents I'm learning about are not helping me at all..."

"That's why I was shocked that you asked." Twilight explained. "Honestly Starlight, if it helps you mentally, its ok to quit."

Twilight reached her hoof to Starlight, but after hearing the last part, she smacked it away.

"I'm not quitting." she insisted. "Even though my conscience is still begging for me to quit, I won't let a few creepy animatronics scare me into leaving. Besides, I asked those questions for a reason."

"But I can tell that this job is starting to affect you! Your sleep schedule is wack, and I barely see you anymore!"

Starlight almost laughed at Twilight's remark. "Twilight its been two days. What are you even talking about? And besides, it was your idea for me to work there. Not mine."

"It's just-"

"Look, I appreciate the help, but I'm fine."

Starlight exited the room and slammed the door behind her.

Starlight entered her bedroom and laid down on her comfy bed before getting ready for her third shift.

She looked at her left side and saw a picture of Twilight and Starlight together. They had happy expressions.

Starlight levitated the photo so she saw it face-to-face.

I didn't mean to storm off like that. Regret started sprinkling in her mind.

I am getting more agitated. And I am usually not like that. Was Twilight right? Should she quit working there if she was starting to affect her in a way that she didn't want?

Starlight shook her head and put the photo away.

Just three more shifts to go. She thought as she closed her eyes.

Although Twilight's suggestion still lingers in her mind.
