Ash came home and crashed on the couch. Too exhausted to move he fell asleep right there. Ash woke to the alarm on his watch. It was 5:00 pm. "Wow did I really sleep that late?" Ash said to himself. He slowly rolled off the couch and walked up the stairs towards his shower. Not paying attention he turned the knob to cold and let the water run. He walked to his room and grabbed some comfortable clothes to change into. After returning to the shower, Ash pulled off his clothes and got in the tub. He walked directly into the freezing cold water and it went all over his back and front. Ash's eyes shoot open he inhaled deeply. "OH MY FUCKING LORD WHAT THE HELL WHY IS THIS PIECE OF SHIT SO COLD!!!" Ash screamed at the top of his lungs. After a few seconds Ash shrugged and just let the water continued to be cold. After a while Ash got out and got dressed. After throwing on some shorts and a muscle shirt, he made his way down stairs. He opened his fridge and took out an apple to munch on. As he ate, Ash got on his phone and noticed he still had the feed from the camera on. He watched as little kids were running around and having fun. All except around Pirate Cove. No one was even near that part of the building. "I'll swing by there later tonight and see why no one goes near it. And to see who's yellow eyes were there." Ash thought. Hours later Ash looked at his watch. 11:30pm. "I better start heading there." Ash said to himself. Ash got there around 11:55pm. "Cool, 5 minutes to spare." Ash thought as he walked in. He accidentally bumped into someone walking out of the building, it was the day shift guard. "Ouch. Oh hey it's it's my other half, the day shift!" Ash said with a chuckle. "Oh so you're the new night shift guard. Well it's about time we met." He replied back. His name tag said his name was Mike. He was about 2 feet taller than Ash, and looked to be about 25 years old. Ash on the other hand was 17. "My name is Mike." He said as he stuck out his hand for Ash to shake. Ash shook his hand back, just like his dad had taught him. "My name is Ash." Ash replied. "Well it was nice to meet you Ash. I'm just about to leave and go home." Mike said with a smile. "Well I'm about to start my shift actually." Ash said while looking at his watch. 11:58pm. "Well then I'll leave you to it." Mike said as he walked to his car. "I'll see ya tomorrow!" Ash shouted as he walked inside the doors. As soon as he was in and Mike was gone, Ash quickly locked the doors and ran to the security office. Right as he passed the threshold the clock bell rang twice, signaling that it was 12:00. Ash quickly walked over to his locker and entered the combo, taking out the duffel bag. He reached in and grabbed the pistol, putting a fresh magazine in and a round into the chamber. He tucked it into his pants like yesterday, and reached back into the duffel. He grabbed the bag of m-n-ms and one of the energy drinks and sat them on the desk. He placed the bag back into the locker and made sure it was locked before he went back to the desk. He checked his watch for the time. 12:15am. "Well I better go meet the gang before they start to worry." Ash thought. He quickly grabbed his stuff and walked out the right door and down the hallway to the stage area. He passed the kitchen and smelled pizza in the oven. He knew that it was Chica. He kept walking and entered the stage area. He saw Bonnie and Freddy sitting at a table and went over there to join them. "Hey guys!" Ash said cheerfully. "Oh hey Ash!!" Bonnie said excitedly. "Hey look who decided to show up!" Freddy replied with a laugh. "I told you guys that I promised to come back. I always keep my promises." Ash replied. A few minutes later Chica entered the room carrying a pizza and sat it down in the middle of the table. "Dig in everyone!" She said cheerfully. "Thank you Chica!" Bonnie and Freddy said in unison. "Thank you Chica, but I'm still full on pizza from last night. I'm gonna eat some of the candy I brought yesterday if that's ok with you?" Ash asked her. "Oh sure, I don't mind." Chica replied with a giggle. "Ok thank you." Ash said with a smile. After everyone was done eating the group sat there for a few minutes just relaxing. Ash decided to ask a question about what he saw yesterday. "So guys, tell me about the animatronic that lives in Pirate Cove." He said out loud. Everyone froze at that question. "Well?" Ash said. "We don't know what you're talking about.." Bonnie said. Ash could tell she was lying. "Fine. If y'all won't tell me then I'll go find out for myself." Ash said as he got up and walked to the hallway leading to Pirate Cove. "No wait!!" Chica yelled as she rushed and cut off Ash from the hallway. "Chica..move." Ash said to her face. "Y-you can't g-go over there." She said. Ash could tell she was afraid of something. "Why?" Ash snapped at her. "Because...well b-because..." Chica stammered. "Because it's not safe. You could get hurt." Freddy said as he walked over to Ash. "Really? Y'all are worried that I'm going to get hurt!" Ash said in shock. "Yes. Because we care." Bonnie added in. "Guys y'all don't need to worry about me." Ash sighed. He pulled out the pistol from his pants and checked to see if the chamber was loaded. "Look if it makes y'all worry less, I'll keep this out and ready in case anything happens. I'll be fine." Ash said as he stepped around Chica and walked slowly down the hallway. "Please be careful Ash!" Chica shouted to him before he got out of earshot. "I promise!" Ash shouted back. He slowly and silently walked down the hallway towards the mysterious Pirate Cove. As Ash got near the room, he saw the curtains start to move and he stopped in his tracks. He quietly moved to the wall and pressed himself up against it, completely hiding his body in the shadows. He steadied his breathing to a soft and slow beat. "Get ready." Ash said to himself. But no one came out of the Cove. Ash waited a little longer then continued to slowly move closer. Bit by bit Ash made it to the edge of the curtains, and froze just outside of the split between them. He held his breath, and entered the Cove, gun aimed at chest level, ready to defended himself if needed. Ash froze at what he saw. The room was bigger than it looked. A sand pit covered the far right corner of the room. In the far left corner there was a small pirate ship. And covering the rest of the room was an island theme. And standing in the middle of it all was a red figure. It had ears, kinda like Bonnie's, but not as big. It had a tail, that was long and fluffy and nearly touched the floor. It was about 2 feet taller than Ash, which kinda scared him. It was wearing brown shorts that went to mid shin, they were ripped and torn in places. It had glowing yellow eyes, which were looking right had him. But what disturbed Ash the most, was that it was a female. Ash could see her cleavage in her shirt that was slightly torn down the middle. Ash slightly blushed, then he saw the hook. Ash froze and gripped his pistol a little tighter. As the animatronic started to slowly move towards him, Ash raised the gun high and aimed it at it's face. "Easy there love, I don't want to hurt you." Foxy said seductively. Ash slowly begins to walk backwards towards the exit. "Well this is.....awkward...." He says slowly. "Hey now, don't leave. We've only just met." Foxy said walking closer to Ash. He pulled back the hammer on the gun and glared at the fox. "Stay right where you are, don't make me shoot you." He said in a stern tone. "You can shoot me all you want, but not with that gun." She said with a wink. Ash raises an eyebrow. "Well then....yeah I think I'm just gonna go back to the others." He said. Noticing that he was by the edge of the curtains, Ash bolted from the Cove, running back to the stage area. He slowed as he came near the doorway. After catching his breath, he walked in and was slightly angry at what he saw. M-n-ms were scattered all over the floor and different tables. It looked like the bag had exploded and shot candy everywhere. Ash looked over at the animatronics and saw they were looking the other direction. He slowly walked over to them and looked them in the face. "Which one of you tired to open the bag?" He asked calmly. No answer from any of them. "Tell me the truth, and I won't be mad. Tell me a lie, and I will be." He said crossing his arms. Still no answer. "Ok." Ash said as he walked over to a near by trash can and moved it to a table and started to clean up the mess. After a while of picking m-n-ms from the ground and tables, He was finally done. He placed the trash can back in it's place and walked silently back to the office. Once inside, he closed the doors and went to the lockers. After opening his, Ash placed the gun back into the duffel, took out the last energy drink and his headphones. He closed the locker and sat at the desk, putting his headphones in and turning the volume up full blast. He checked the cameras every now and then, making sure the robots stayed inside. After a while, Ash's eyes started to get sleepy. He tried to stay awake, but the energy drink wasn't working. He finally dosed off, falling into a deep sleep. The last thing he remember was a sudden 'poof' sound, and a blanket being placed over him.
