"Hey, I'm Chica! The lady of the group. My singing is a treat." Those songs often played through the halls of Freddy's. Somehow the patrons liked it, so the animatronics sang the same song every morning.

The sound of children screaming annoyed Quinn largely. He only enjoyed the other place. THAT place. He went to the parts & service room down the hall. It was the only place he could get some privacy in this place. The room had a big sign that said "Parts & Service" and it was always wide open, which led Quinn to spend time there in the first place.

Quinn walked into the backroom only to find blood and wet floor signs in the backroom."What the-", He looked around. He looked around the wall and saw a yellow version of the Freddy animatronic on the stage. Oddly enough, the bear had a name tag that showed "Fredbear".

Fredbear? I heard about him. He was tied to the bite of the '83 incident back in, well, 1983.

He all of a sudden wondered why there was a name tag for a decommissioned animatronic. He looked around the yellow bear and quickly noticed that it had five fingers. Most of the robotic animals had four fingers, for unknown reasons. Quinn was informed during his first week that the animatronics with five fingers functioned as suits for the employees to serve cake to the children or replace under repair animatronics. But, that still didn't explain why the yellow bear had a name tag.

"What you looking at there?" said a familiar voice. Quinn turned around to find a yellow bunny with a purple bowtie and a huge, unsettling smile. It was just one of the characters from the place that got closed down two years ago. His name was Spring Bonnie, but Quinn knew who it really was under the mask. His older brother, Vincent was trying to prank Quinn. He usually did this every week when he left his house to mock him.

"What do you want, Vincent?" asked Quinn. "You came a bit early for me." Quinn turned back around at the "Fredbear" suit in front of him but noticed an odd thing that wasn't on the bear when he first saw it. When he first saw it, the robot had a black hat just like Freddy. But, when he turned around, it had a purple hat on its head and white glowing eyes and the final terrifying detail: a knife instead of a microphone. Quinn's laid back personality quickly vanished when he noticed the details, but Vincent didn't seem affected by it. Quinn thought it was a prank by Vincent, but then Quinn thought for a moment. His mom didn't let Vincent use knives because he was untrustworthy with sharp stuff even at his age.

"Nice prank, Vinnie," Quinn said exhausted. Vincent could never fool Quinn. Ever since their father died when he was three, he got smarter but less paranoid which led him to apply at his childhood pizzeria as a nightguard. It was his first week so he was excited to see this place at night surprisingly. He wanted to play hide n' seek with the animatronics and eat the pizza when he got hungry. He wanted to do everything in the book of fun.

Oddly enough, the robots were designed with special software that allowed them to interact with nearby patrons so that would be fun.

                                                                       12:00am                                                                                                               ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was official. His first night on the job. But before he went to go play with the animatronics, he had to respond to a call on the phone.


"Hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. 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, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. 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. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '83. Yeah."

"Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, no, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh."

"Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, the first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night."

Quinn suddenly had second thoughts about playing with the "dangerous" robots. Also, he wanted to see if the phone guy was pulling his leg. He decided to check the cameras before he went to patrol the diner. He grabbed his flashlight and security hat. And off he went into the hell that was Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
