A Night At The Pizzaplex

Chapter 4

She looked at the tier of cans, she wasn't the type of kid to make a mess but it seems she has no choice. " No, no, no, no! What a mess! Oh, which was the bottom? Where is the top? Clean up! Clean up! " She felt sorry as she ran to the security desk, looking back and unfortunately tripping on the wires.

Thankfully, Sun caught the tiny human before she could fall flat on her face. " Ah, thank you, but... " She sighed as the animatronic cradled her until they got back to the same spot. " You're welcome! What do you want to do now? Draw on the walls? Use the seesaws? Run around until we pass out? " He excitedly suggested, Sys frowned at the robot, ' Do they not understand what I need to do? '

" Uhm, Sunny- "

" Aw, you even gave me a nickname! We're going to be the best of friends! "

Sun happily spun around, taking her into their arms and hugging her with care. Sys felt a sting in her heart as if she was going to betray them, the animatronic placed her down again. With a sigh, she pushed the cans over, swiftly running towards the security desk and this time making sure to avoid the wires. She looked at the Freddy thingy on the wall, which held a flashlight inside, " Oh, it's a mini recharge station. " She mused, taking the flashlight from it as she walked towards the black desk, looking at Freddy's head on the center. ' Is this the security badge? I'd like to keep one. ' She smiled at the adorable thing.

" New friend, this- this area is off-limits. You're gonna get us in trouble. " Sun sounded a bit scared, Sys apologized, finger about to press Freddy's nose. " Don't you want a puppet show? I have glitter glue! Do you like glitter glue? Googly eyes? " They sounded desperate, it had Sys on edge as she felt pity towards the attendant. She smiled at him with empathy, " I'm sorry, I have to get the badge to let my friend in here. " 

Once the badge was acquired, she planned to get Freddy inside the daycare and spend the rest of the hours playing with Sunny.

Too bad the lights went out.

" No- no! Why would you do that? Lights on! Lights on! I warned you- I WARNED YOU! " 

Sys stared in horror, " I-I didn't turn the lights off! Sunny, are you okay? " Even if it was dangerous, she briskly walked towards the stressed robot, it looked like it was panicking. Sun screamed loudly, holding their face, arching as the little girl watched them just below. " I didn't mean to! What's going on? " She tried asking them again, beads of nervous sweat forming on her forehead, desperately wanting to run away but still wanting to help the poor animatronic. She gasped when Sun dropped down, she refused to look over the counter, not wanting to check if they were dead or not. 

" Naughty girl. Naughty girl. "

Sys felt a chill down her spine. " S-Sunny..? " Her voice shook, hands squeezing on the flashlight as she pointed it right at whatever was talking.

" It's past your bedtime. You must be punished. "

She watched as it jumped back on the counter, mimicking a dance of some sort, she looked behind her, terrified and confused as to where her best friend Sunny had gone.

" Nighty-night. "

With ease, it jumped into the darkness. Sys gulped nervously, ' Where did it go..? ' It wasn't until Freddy spoke that finally had her snap out of her fear. Freddy's voice has always calmed her down. " Sys, I do not know what you did, but the lights are out in the Daycare! You need to find the emergency backup generators and turn them on. They are in the play structures. " Sys looked around, it was menacingly dark, and knowing that Moon was after her made her even more anxious. 

" H-How many do I need to find..? " She asked in a quiet tone, pointing her flashlight to the wires she tripped on earlier, the only thing she needed to do now was to follow them without getting caught. " There are 5 in total, you can check the cameras to find a safe route, but be wary of your surroundings. I believe in you, superstar. " Freddy spoke with a gentle tone, Sys sniffled and nodded, she had no choice but to do this. There was no way she'll let that thing catch her before she could apologize to Sunny for turning the lights off.

She glanced around, running into the play area, there were 2 divided structures in the whole place, a bridge was the only thing connecting the two at the center. ' Okay, stay quiet and find the generators. ' She repeatedly stated in her head, not wanting to get distracted by the fear of getting caught. Once she entered, she was lucky enough to find one right off the bat, ' One down. ' She continued crawling through the rubbery vent-like play area. 

The slides were the worst part, the squeaky noises it made as she climbed through them had her on edge, Moon laughing intimidatingly did not help at all. She peeked from above, there were two wires and a generator. She jumped down with a thud, making sure to look around before flipping the generator on, that was the second one, only 3 more to go. The whirring sound of the machine scared her a bit, they were loud, most likely loud enough for Moon to know exactly where she was.

She followed the other wire out of the play structure, dropping down and finding Moon just behind her. A shriek was drawn out of her when the robot looked her straight in the eye, running at her with pace. She trembled and fell, knocking down the stack of cans as she covered her head, prepared to be hurt by the animatronic. 

" Rrrrggh... Clean up! Clean up! " 

That was her chance, Moon completely ignored her and went into the mess, she lifted herself up quickly, crawling in between the robot's legs and running back inside the gated play area. Another one, she clutched her chest, heart beating rapidly as she turned the generator on. She briefly sat down, catching her breath and checking the cameras. ' Just two more, it's okay, it's okay. I can do this. ' She wiped the sweat off her forehead. There was another wire, just follow it and the job will be done.

She crawled up the slanted ladder, pushing the soft punching bags out of her way, looking over her shoulder to make sure Moon wasn't following her. Unfortunately, the wire she followed only led to a lightbox. She bit her lip, feeling uneasy as she continued up the slanted ladders, with some sort of luck, she found another generator. ' Last one, last one..! '

She put aside her anxiety and focused, it was just one more generator.

Moon's creepy string of giggles was making her focus disappear, she looked at the Fazwatch cameras, the last generator was at the other play area. She had to go to the bridge, but that meant having open space for the animatronic to grab her from above or below. She gulped nervously, holding the railings and hearing Moon terrifyingly close, she looked up and down before going for it, dashing towards the other location. 

She went forward. Left. Straight. Right.

A wire!

She found it, the last generator. ' I did it! ' She smiled even if her small body shook from running around and the lingering fear finally went away. The lights were on again, " Sunny! Sunny, where are you? " She called out whilst traveling out of the colorful structure. ' Where are they? ' She wondered, sliding out and looking around. 

" Rule-breaker! Rule- " 

" Sunny! I'm so glad you're okay! " Sys cut them off, hugging the animatronic with a few tears in her eyes, she thought Sun had malfunctioned and died. The robot was flabbergasted at the grip of the little girl, " Little rule-breaker, you are still banned from the Daycare. " Although his words were stern, Sun cradled the kid with care just like earlier. She leaned into them, one of their metallic hands gently wiping the tears off her cheeks. " I'm sorry for the lights, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to get to Freddy but you wouldn't let me go. " She apologized, sniffling as Sun pat her head. 

" Don't cry, my little rule-breaker, I believe you. " Sun's voice toned down as if trying to calm her. It worked perfectly, Sys was always easy to calm down as long as her guardian spoke to her with care. She was still a child after all, no matter how mature she tried to act, she was still a crybaby. She yelped when the alarms rang loudly, the familiar sound of heavy footsteps nearing them. 

" You have to go before the others find you. Be safe, my little rule-breaker. " 

Sun hugged her one more time, she nuzzled into their chest, sad that they're parting ways as they carried her outside. The robot carefully placed the kid into Freddy's chest to hide. " Thank you, Sun. We need to get out of here now. " Freddy thanked the animatronic as Sys waved at Sun with a frown, the metal closing her inside safely.
