The lights flickered on in the restaurant. It had been two days since the prototypes had found the original anamatronics. Since then some people had come in and cleaned the place up. Now people in uniforms were coming in. One person went into the room marked 'Security' he seemed very relaxed. A group of people went into the kitchen and the rest were walking about and setting up the stage. Waki had her eyes slightly open so she could watch. She made sure they couldn't tell that she was watching bit soon one came over and poked her in the stomach. She opened her eyes suddenly and glared at the person.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?!" She growled holding a metal fist up to his face threateningly. The man took a few steps back holding up his hands defensively.
"I-i-i-i'm sorry W-w-w-w-waki. " He stuttered his voice full of fear. Waki lowered her fist and opened her arms in a hug.
"Sorry" she said gently as he came in for a hug. She brought him into a tight hug. She let him go. He stepped back.
"I think you might be my favourite Waki." He said calmly. She smiled and took of her hat and put it over her heart.
"And ye be my first mate." She said raising her hat up in the air before placing it back on her head.
"Well Waki I will see you when I'm working." He laughed looking at Waki as he pulled on some gloves. Waki nodded her head.
"And what name might I be looking and listening for?" She asked gently her tail flicking gently.
"Jeremy." He said as he held up his hand in a far well. "Jeremy Fitzgerald" He whispered so only Waki could hear. Waki gave him a curt nod.
"Well ye best be going. Now make quick you scurvy dog!" She laughed holding up her hook in mock threat. Jeremy nodded and walked over to the other men who were waiting for him at the door. He looked back at Waki again before walking out and locking the doors.
Waki quickly ran over to the stage. She leapt onto it it and dashed behind the curtains to find the other three leant against the wall.
"Hey guys!" She called running right over to them. Bonnie looked up and met her eyes but instantly looked away again. Waki smiled to herself.
"Hey Waki." Chica said hugging her tightly. Waki smiled and hugged her back.
"Hey Chica." She laughed as Chica let go.
Freddy nodded a hello. Waki sat down with the others. Her tail was wagging madly. Bonnie sat there picking at the stage. There was silence for a few minutes as they all just sat there staring at eachother awkwardly.
"So it all begins tomorrow. " Freddy said breaking the silence. He scratched his arm awkwardly.
"I suppose." Replied Waki quietly. She was looking forward to start working and meeting all the people but she found Jeremy a curious person. She felt like something was different about him. She looked around at the others as she thought.
"Im quite excited. What about you Bonnie? You haven't spoke this whole time." Chica said tapping Bonnie lightly on the head. He looked up.
"Well I guess it will be different than being alone like we usually are." He said with a weak smile. Waki could tell something was on his mind.
"What's wrong?" Waki asked lifting his head right up with her tail. "What is on your mind?" She said gently.
"Nothing." He replied but looked into her eyes and swallowed. For her he thought to himself. Then breathed out slowly. "The man who spoke to me." He said with a voice full of memory. "He seemed different than the others. He seemed like he knew something we didn't. Like a history about Fazbear's. He talked about it to me like he was there. Like there was one before here." Bonnie finished. He looked at Waki who was staring at him with her big, yellow eyes. She looked away. Freddy was leaning against the wall his eyes closed. His mouth was moving as though he was silently repeating what Bonnie had said. He opened his eyes again and looked around at them.
"I think you're right Bonnie. I saw him talking to you and he looked like he knew a lot about this place." Freddy said choosing his words carefully. "But I don't know for sure whether we can trust what he says. He looked dodgy. " He finished. Chica looked at him calmly while Bonnie and Waki exchanged glances.
" Yea, any guy who wears tjst amount of purple is dodgy." Chica snikered with Freddy then turned to Bonnie. "What was his name?" She asked calmly.
"Urm. ..." Bonnie stalled as he tried to remember. "He didn't say....." He pulled a face as he looked at the others.
"I met someone. He seemed about the age of the others but more of a child." Waki said. "He was called Jeremy Fitzgerald. " She said musing over the name.
"I also met one." Said Freddy. "He was called Mike Schmidt. " He said
"Jeremy Fitzgerald and Mike Schmidt. Plus the other guy. " Chica quoted. "Something about them two seems to push them out of the crowd. As a pair." She said. Freddy looked at her.
"We need to talk to the originals. We need to learn about this other guy, Mike and by doing so maybe about Jeremy to." He said standing up and looking at the others. "Come on."
