"Uh hello? Hello hello? Mr. Afton I'm so sorry to call you this late... Heh, early? Well uh I just got home and I realized I accidently took the funtime foxy blueprints when packing up for the night. I'll be sure to bring them back. Be there. We need to have a talk"
The alarm blared in his ears as Bryan woke up with a groan. Hitting the button on the clock and getting off of his comfortable bed before he could fall back asleep "Uggghhh why did I set my alarm so early"
Swaying back and fourth he walked to the kitchen putting some bread in the toaster. "Oh right... work. Pizzeria" the toaster popped out a fresh peace of toast and Bryan took a bite out of it.
Walking back to his room and pulling out a baby blue sweater, black pants and brown combat boots, he looks towards the clock before finishing the toast and going out, waving goodbye to the front desk lady and heading to the bus

Convenient time skip brought to you by new lore
-----------------------------"Freddy Fazbear's. We meet again..." Bryan mumbled in a quiet voice "I wonder what this location is called." The parking lot was surrounded by a forest... honestly there was no way this place was gonna run unless he did good advertising, the only way to get here was through a dark tunnel... yeah teenagers are gonna love this place
The grayish walls seemed to loom over him. He was definitely NOT ready for this but no matter. "I know you're here Charlie, why are you even hiding." Suddenly a brunette girl appeared in front of him "You never know what's gonna happen at a Freddy's." Oh right, she died in a place like this one.
Bryan opened the front door and looked around "This is... better then I was expecting!" The place already had a few fairy lights and pizza banners scattered around as well as two benches. The front desk was a bland white and the cash register open. To the right of the counter were two sets of old red curtains, he opened them and behind was a bigger room, nothing inside but magenta colored carpet. He could work with that, didn't the company say they would send an AI to help around the place
"Bryan, bear by the door" Oh that must be them. A bear huh? How on brand, he wondered if every new location had this. Bryan turned towards the curtains and noticed a small white and pink bear staring at him with piercing blue eyes, a high pitch voice came from the small animatronic "Oh,Hello!" Bryan walked forwards to the robot bear "Hello! Are you the AI the company told me about?"
While he talked Charlie moved forwards to take a look at the bear "That's right! I'm Helpy! Here to help you with your restaurant! What about you, new owner?" Charlie moved around them for a bit, checked every place an animatronic could hold potential danger "Well I'm Bryan! I'm sure we'll be great work partners!"
After finishing his introduction Charlie floated back over to him "well good news! No stomach hatch, the teeth are dull and no disc either!" Bryan nodded just enough for Charlie to see and continued to talk to the bear "Well this place IS pretty empty but I don't have a whole lot of money... would you happen to know where I can buy stuff?" Helpy smiled and nodded "If course I do! I know just the place, it might be a bit of a walk though..."

Another time skip brought to you by a familiar face
☆------------☆"So this is the place huh?" Bryan asked nervously "it's certainly...something?" "You can say it looks like a junk I'm pretty sure the pristine white animatronic won't care" The manager decided to ignore the ghost for now, until they were alone there was truly no reason to talk to Charlie unless he wanted to be sent to mental asylum.
Helpy guided him forward to a sort of shack in the middle of all the rubble "This is what we have for now! When we open up shop and get more customers, or sponsors, we can get better shops!" The AI responded brightly, Bryan nodded and looked around at everything he needed to at least start the business. 'Definitely tables' he thought, but everything would be useful... And he had the money.
He ended up buying everything on the catalog, he walked back to the entrance where Helpy had gone back to wait for him "Alright we're all set! Let's head back." The little robot jumped up and down with excitement before they headed back to the pizzeria.
Once they got back to the pizzeria Bryan looked back at the tiny bear and asked "So what are you going to do during the day? You're definitely in no size to perform... unless it's for the really SMALL kids." Helpy appeared offended for a moment before giggling quietly "Of course not silly! I'm going to be taking care of everything at the front desk, greeting customers, making sure everyone pays and no accidents accure, all that stuff!"
The ghost child that had been quiet until now sighed and replied sarcasticly "This is a Fazbear's how safe could it be." Bryan tried to not burst out laughing as he walked through the curtains. Everything he had ordered was already there. "Well that was... fast" he wondered how the tables got there without him noticing anything. Well no matter, more pressing matters at hand "So... this place definitely isn't ready to open yet, how am I supposed to get money for the stuff."
Helpy smiled and made a shush motion before whispering "Come here" Bryan sighed. Well here goes... oh what the hell is that. "WHY is there a death pit of infinity void in the backroom of my pizzeria?!" Helpy looked up at him and giggled "That's a portal silly! When we jump in, it takes us to another world FILLED with games and our minds will be connected so we can talk to each other through thought! If you win I'll give you coins that you can use to buy stuff with." Bryan stared down at the... portal.
"And you're sure this is safe...?" The small AI nodded excitedly "Yes! Yes! Now come on!" And before he could reply the small bear launched themself at him and tackled him into the portal
------------(After minigames)------------
Bryan flew out of the portal as he was ejected, nearly hitting a wall he looked around to make sure helpy is safe. "That was so fun!" The small bear jumped down from the crate the had landed on. Bryan smiled and nodded hesitantly, while he understood that that world's rules were different from his own, killing people still made his stomach swirl and it took everything in his power to not question the animatronic about the black void.
Plus if it helped him with business and it made them happy so who was he to complain? They both headed to the exit, while walking, Helpy explained "I'll give you money tomorrow! Now go home and rest! I'll see you tomorrow Bryan" Bryan chuckled quietly and pet the bears head eliciting a small 'hey!' from the AI. "I'll see you tomorrow helpy!". He closed the curtains and giggled. "Well that was a... day at Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria." And he walked away. All he wanted to do was get home.
When Bryan got home the first thing he did was take off his shoes and grab an apple from the fridge before walking over his room and plopping down on the bed. Finding sleep easily
