Starlight the Nightguard: Five Night's at Freddy's

Oh boy, here we go again.

Starlight sat on her office chair with a tired look. After her argument with Twilight, Starlight barely got any sleep because unsettling thoughts kept creeping into her mind.

Who killed the foals?

Do the animatronics think I’m the murderer?

And most importantly:

Why didn’t the princesses do anything? Starlight assumed that it was not Twilight’s place to demand the resturant to be closed. She is the princess of friendship after all. But why didn’t Celestia do anything? Surely, she would not let stuff like this slide. She must have heard about the incident.

But then again Starlight remembered that the newspapers said that the police did find the suspect, but after having no evidence, they let him go. And they also threatened to close the restaurant down. And so, it will, maybe.

Why do I torture myself?

Soon, the phone started ringing, and for once, Starlight didn't jump by its sudden noise.

"Hello, hello? Uh, hey, I'm impressed by your work in progress! Most ponies don't last this long! Uh erm, I mean they move on to other things. I am not implying that they died. They didn't."

Starlight was clearly not convinced.

"Erm, hey, I got an idea! How about when they are near the office, you play dead! Oh, but then again, they might think that you're an empty costume, and they may try to put a metal endoskeleton inside of you somehow..."

"Wow, thanks for the lovely information." She called out as she muted the call, refusing to hear any more.

Then, she heard low laughter in the distance.

"What was that...?" Starlight opened the monitor and saw that Chica andFreddy was off the stage, but for some reason, Bonnie is the only one staying.

"You've got to be kidding. Now I have to deal with the bear?" Starlight groaned. It was bad enough that she had to deal with those three psychos. But what was worse was that unlike them, Freddy is hard to spot.

I think I remember Phone Guy saying that he's only in dark areas...

When Freddy moved again, she once again heard the laughter in the distance.

She felt her body shiver.

"STOP LAUGHING."

But she was screaming at deaf ears.

Something told her that Night 3 will not be as kind to her as Night 2, as such, Chica gets extremely close to the office that quickly, and Freddy is hard to monitor in the cameras. Not to mention she has to deal with Bonnie and Foxy, although thankfully, they don't really move a lot.

I guess I need to be quicker then.

She saw Chica appear at the door window, giving her a death stare.

"No." Starlight said as she closed the door.

She checked the cameras again to see Freddy at the restrooms. Although for some strange reason, he was in the girl's restroom and not the boys.

"Freddy are you secretly a girl?" Starlight asked aloud. She assumed that Freddy was a male character, and he is. But why there?

Just then the camera suddenly went static, and followed by Freddy's laughter, he vanished to another room.

She checked on the other animatronics. Chica finally left and opened the door. Bonnie was standing at the West Hallway, and Foxy's head appeared from the curtains. These guys are more active as before

"Well, I'm ready for you guys." Starlight said, determined. She then rolled her eyes at herself. "Why am I talking to myself?"

But she wasn't ready for what came next.

As Foxy got out of Pirate's Cove, ready to run to the office, Starlight screamed in shock when she encountered flashing images of Bonnie and Freddy all staring at her. Followed by a garbled voice. And the words "IT'S ME" kept flashing too.

"What the hell?!" Starlight yelled, but then covered her mouth. She normally doesn't swear like that, unless very scared or angry.

Then she heard rapid footsteps, and by some miracle, she closed the door right before Foxy appeared, and started to bang on it. Starlight noticed that by each bang, her power started decreasing more and more.

Even when she was safe for now, Starlight was still panting hard. What did she just witness? She saw Bonnie with black, soulless eyes; Freddy with bloodshot eyes that... don't look Freddy's normal eyes. Or any eyes of an animatronic in general...

But the most confusing part was that the saying "IT'S ME" kept appearing rapidly.

"Who is you?" Starlight looked at the animatronics through the cameras. They all stood still.

More evidence that needs to be brought to light. she thought.

The night was shorter than she expected. Even Freddy wasn't that much of a hassle to her. As long as she listened to his eerie laughs, and his footsteps, then he isn't that much to deal with. Although she was annoyed that Chica kept appearing at her right side. She was more active than usual.

When it turned 6 however, she didn't leave the restaurant eagerly like she normally would.

She saw that that the animatronics mysteriously went back to their normal positions, despite them being in different areas just seconds before.

She investigated the animatronics, and once she got a closer look at Freddy's mouth, she could smell blood coming from it.

Starlight suddenly remembered that one of the newspapers said that the animatronics smelt like blood and mucus, which is one of the reasons why the restaurant is closing down.

Did they even bother to clean them? Surely cleaning an animatronic isn't that hard, right?

But then Starlight remembered another thing she learned about this franchise: Never get close to an animatronic's mouth.

Quick as a flash, Starlight instantly leapt backward, and when she did, Freddy's jaw suddenly closed shut.

Starlight breathed heavily. She almost died. I could've died.

She was startled when she heard doors opening, and turned around to see Liles staring at her.

"What are you doing?" Liles walked up to her. "Don't you know not to tamper with animatronics?"

"Tampering? I wasn't tampering. I was just curious about what the animatronics smelt like, and what I found is alarming. Don't you guys ever clean those things?"

"Honestly I wish they did, but right now, that is none of your concern." Liles dismissed her.

"Anything concerns me when it comes to robots trying to attack me at night."

"It doesn't matter anymore. Your shift is done, and now its time for you to leave." Liles kept pushing her away until she reached the exit.

"No." Starlight stood her ground. "Why do you keep pushing me? I have four legs you know."

"The faster you leave, the safer you'll be." Liles propted, his hazel eyes starting to get scared now. "Normally I don't care if other night guards hang around, but you are a different story. They'll think that you're him."

"Him?" Starlight was more confused now. "Who do you mean by him?"

"You don't want to know." Liles shook his head. "Now, for the last time. Leave."

Hesitantly, Starlight walked out of the restaurant and watched with suspicion as Liles quickly locked the doors.

You're hiding something from me. Starlight thought suspiciously. You can't keep a secret from me. At least not for long.
