Hello, and welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Mega PizzaPlex! You are working the midnight to morning shift, when the mall is shut down, void of any unwanted visitors.

Er, it should be.

Lately, during your shifts, you'd been hearing things go bump in the night. Things that shouldn't go bump in the night. You informed your boss as soon as you found out, but...she didn't seem to care? Like at all? She just chalked it up to be rats roaming around the place, which, well, itself is even a problem.

(Not that rats are a problem, you actually quite like them. You find all rodents adorable, and you'd be damned to say rats were an exception. But they're not exactly welcome in a pizzeria.)

Regardless, that meant it was your job and your job alone to get to the bottom of this.

Bored, you sat in the security office. For now, there wasn't really much to do other than watch the cameras. Having no idea where to start searching for the Mysterious Intruder (or silly little rats having a silly little party), you decided it would be best to start at the broadest point you could. That meant mindlessly examining low-quality security cameras (seriously, with how high-tech this place was, you'd think they'd be better than Walmart quality) until something interesting happened.

1:34am, and still nothing.
You found your eyelids starting to grow heavy, and wondered if there really was anything to worry about. Maybe you'd just been paranoid, and seeing things that weren't really there. It wouldn't surprise you—as endearing as the animatronics were during the daylight here, sometimes, at night, they gave you the creeps. It wouldn't shock you if you imagined them stomping your way with their clanky feet, trying to get into your office and stuff you in a suit until you bled to death. Especially considering you were also incredibly tired, subjecting you to notice things that weren't really there.

If it really was nothing, maybe you shouldn't stress so much, or even work so much. As uncomfortable as your chair was, your eyes seemed to find comfort in closing, if even for a second, and sending you off to DreamLand. Nothing had happened yet, maybe it wouldn't hurt to just get a little shut-eye...

Bang!

Your eyes shot open as the sound broke through your thoughts. Quickly, you sat up and started examining the cameras. Strangely, you were unable to find anything at all. Then where the hell did that noise come from? Were you going crazy?

Ten minutes passed, and you hadn't found a thing. But you were finding out one thing, and that was that you really shouldn't have stayed up as late as you did last night watching Happy Feet. Those penguin movies had no right being as good as they were. Because of that, you found yourself starting to fall back into a sleepy wonderland.

It really was nothing, you tried convincing yourself, wanting so, so badly to just give into sleep. I didn't see anything on the cams, so it's fine.

Your eyes drifted to a nearby window to the office as you let yourself fall once more into sleep.

Yeah, it was nothing.

You closed your eyes as the comforting night engulfed you.

All in your head.

What the fuck were those red eyes looking at you through the window?

You jolted out of your seat now, wondering if you'd truly gone mad. Why else would you see such a thing when clearly nothing was there?

Well, that was because it really was there.

You locked eyes with the new stranger as she pierced you with glowing red eyes. Her body was human, but with rabbit-like features. She was covered in a cotton white coat, painted in splatters of blue, yellow, and red. Her face showed that of a wide grin, and was half splashed with a dull blue. Two ears sprung high above her head, bent near the middle, and swayed dramatically as the woman tilted her head.
