"This place was huge in the '80s. Every kid wanted to go here." The manager explained.

Fluttershy leaned forward in order to hear what the manager was saying. The two were sitting in his office so he could tell Fluttershy the history of the Freddy Fazbear franchise. "But then...the investigations began."

Fluttershy suddenly stood up. "Investigations?"

"Yeah. A while back some kids went missing at one of our earlier restaurants." The manager said, somberly. "The police never found them."

Fluttershy gasped at this statement. "Those poor children."

The manager sighed and continued. "It was all downhill from there. There were attempts made to revitalize the brand but that incident had left its mark. No one trusted the brand anymore. This location was our last hope."

When the man looked up, he was met with the saddened face of Fluttershy. "I'm so sorry."

"Eh, it's alright. I mean I guess we should've seen this coming. Who would think a pizzeria infamous for murd-I mean, missing children would be a great place to host a kid's birthday party?" The manager chuckled.

Fluttershy awkardly nodded her head, not really thinking the manager's joke was appropriate.

Wait a minute, before he said missing, it sounded like he was going to say murd-

"Anyways, enough of that sob-story. Let's get down to business." The manager said, interrupting Fluttershy's thoughts.

He picked up Fluttershy's resume and put on his reading glasses. "So you're here about the night guard position.

"Um, yes." Fluttershy said.

"Alright. Well, you came at the right time. The previous night guard just left. Tried calling him, but well, nothing." The manager explained.

"I'd be happy to take the job." Fluttershy said, smiling. "Though I am kind of afraid of the dark."

The manager chuckled a little. "Well, don't worry about that too much. All you have to keep a watch on the restaurant and make sure that no one breaks in." He explained.

"Piece of cake."

"Doesn't sound bad. So, when can I start?" Fluttershy asked.

"How does tonight sound?"

12:00 am

Fluttershy pulled herself out of bed and headed downstairs. She opened up the fridge and pulled out the salad her mother had made for her.

On the top of the salad container was a note.

Have a great first night, sweetie!

Fluttershy smiled at the note her mother wrote for her and headed for the car.

After explaining to her parents about her new job and the animal shelter's predicament, her mom and dad allowed her to take up the job and were very proud of her for doing this for the animal shelter.

Fluttershy stepped out of the car and headed for the front entrance. She unlocked the doors with the key the manager had given her. Once she stepped in, the pizzeria looked very different from how it looked during the day. It looked so vacant and abandoned. Fluttershy gulped as she looked around but swallowed her fear and put on a brave face as she headed down the hall.

She finally reached the security office and stepped in. When she first looked at it, the office was a complete mess (most likely the trash left behind by the old security guard).

She went to the lockers in the very back of the office and opened them up. The only things in there were her new security guard uniform, a few cobwebs which she left alone (she didn't want to disturb the spiders living there after all), and an old-looking rabbit toy that looked pretty withered.

Perhaps Twilight would be able to fix him up. She was good with robotics after all.

She put on her security uniform and sat in her chair, ready for what looked to be a long night. She noticed a red and white soda cup sitting on the desk. Fluttershy took a sniff of the drink and immediately grimaced at the smell.

It was definitely not good anymore. She tossed the cup into the garbage and sighed. She took at her desk where laid a a small tablet. The tablet displayed what all the security cameras, inside and outside the building, were seeing. She slumped in her chair, bored, when suddenly the phone next to her starting to ring.

She jumped, startled by the sudden noise. She finally calmed her nerves and picked up the phone. On the other end was a man, telling by his voice.

Hello? Hello, hello?

"Um, hi?"

Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in for the night.

This must be some sort of recording, Fluttershy thought to herself.

...So let's just focus on getting you through your first week, okay? Uh, let’s see, first there’s an introductory greeting from the company, that I’m supposed to read. Uh, it’s kind of a legal thing, you know.

Um, “Welcome to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced.” Blah blah blah.

Wait a minute. D-Did he just say d-death? Fluttershy thought to herself.

Now that might sound bad, I know. But, there’s really nothing to worry about.

"Nothing to worry about?! How could you just say that so calmly?!" Fluttershy exclaimed at the phone.

Uh, the animatronic characters here, do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I’d probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay.

So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they’re left in some kind of free roaming mode at night, uh, something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long?

"Wander?" Free roaming mode?" Fluttershy questioned. She was at a complete loss of words for what was being told to her. She immediately went to check on the security cameras. Maybe the phone guy was just playing a prank on her? A little prank for the new security guards.

She clicked on CAM 1A which displayed the show stage, the very same stage she saw during the day. All the animatronic performers were right where they always were. There was Freddy, Chica, and...wait.

Where'd the bunny go?

Fluttershy quickly flipped through cameras, hoping to find where'd Bonnie went. Finally, she found him.

When she flipped to CAM 5, the backstage, Bonnie was there, staring directly into the camera as if knowing that Fluttershy was there. Instead of the normal-looking, friendly, eyes that Bonnie wore in the daytime, they were replaced with completely black eyes with only a tiny, white pupil in the center.

Author's Note

Who is she?

I don't know.

Is she a new one?

I think so. She put on the uniform.
