"Welcome in, Y/n!"

The owner said to me, giving me my new uniform for the night.

I'm the new night guard for the brand new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza that just opened up across the street from my apartment.

"Thanks!"

I take a glimpse at the show stage before I walked into the bathrooms.

"Wait, what happened to the originals?"

I asked the owner, stopping myself in my tracks.

"About the originals, they are stored in the backrooms, but you have no reason to go back there. Don't worry about them, they aren't part of your job."

I nod.

"Got it"

I go into the bathroom and suddenly felt really eerie. I looked around and nobody was here, but the presence was strong.

I walk up to a stall and felt icy cold air hit the back of my neck.

I turn around and nobody is there.

Am I imagining things? Maybe I'm just nervous about taking this job.

I change in the bathroom and walk out of the hallway in my new uniform.

"Good! It's the right size! Now, it's 11:45, so you have 15 minutes before your shift, so get a lay of the land and prepare yourself for your shift, okay?"

I nod, the owner saying his final goodbyes for the night, leaving the establishment, and locking the door behind him.

Great, I'm locked in for the night. Can't chicken out now.

I took a glimpse at Toy Chica from the stage and giggled a bit.

I walked around for a bit, taking a stop at the Prize Counter, looking at the big wind up music box on the floor next to the counter.

I wonder which animatronic is in here?

I hovered by the box, and out of my mind, I knocked on the box.

"Hello? Is anyone in there?"

The box was still for a moment, but soon shortly after, slowly started to open up.

From underneath the lid of the box, was a black bodied animatronic with a mask. It had red rosy cheeks, and it was crying purple tears.

"Hello, I'm Y/n. Sorry to bother you, I just wanted to say hi"

The animatronic looks at me and waves it's arm, making a waving gesture at me.

I smiled and said,

"Your mask is very pretty. I like it a lot"

The animatronic puts its hand up to its mask and says,

"Thank you. . ."

I was slightly stunned by the voice that came out of the animatronic.

It was like a child's voice, so high pitched that there's no way it isn't a child.

"Do you have a name? Something I can call you?"

I say to it, not just wanting to refer to it as "animatronic".

It nods.

"The Puppet. . ."

Is all it said.

It's very quiet, and straight forward. Very graceful in it's movements, even if it's just moving it's hands.

"Well, it was very nice to meet you, Puppet"

The Puppet waved at me and then said,

"You too. . ."

And closed the lid on it's box.

What a friendly animatronic.

I took a look at the plushies offered in the Prize Corner.

There's Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and some variations of  a pink Foxy too.

I took a Bonnie plushie down from the shelf.

Bonnie has always been my favorite.

I take the Bonnie plushie with me as I make my way to the hallway.

Before going into the hallway that leads to the office, I stare at the Parts & Service door for a second.

The owner told me not to go in there. I wonder what's even inside? I mean the owner said that the originals were inside, but could there be more stuff that I could get fired for? I don't wanna know.

I went to the hallway, noticing the clock hit 12 AM finally.

I sat at my desk, eyeing the Bonnie plushie.

I took a look on the cameras, nobody had moved.

I did notice though, that the Puppet had a music box that needed winding every so often.

I wound the music box and checked the Parts & Service room camera out of curiosity.

It showed the original Bonnie, Freddy, and Chica, but all broken down.

I felt. . .bad.

The original Bonnie had been my favorite for the longest time. He still is, but he's all broken down now. . .

I wanna do something to help him, anything, but, I don't know what I should do.

I sit at my desk, winding up the music box, when I heard a creepy sound in the hallway.

I turned the light on, and saw Toy Chica without her eyes or her beak, though she didn't have her cupcake with her, which I thought she'd have with her.

I waved at her and she took a step back in confusion, thinking I would cower in fear and not give a friendly gesture.

She walked into the party room with the vent and a second later, I hear her in the vent.

I get out of my seat and take a peek in the vent, waving at the animatronic who crawls inside.

"Hey, Chica"

She crawls closer.

I take a couple steps back so she could come into the office.

She looked really confused and stepped in, just standing there looking at me.

"Hey, Chica! I have something for you!"

I found Chicas cupcake in my drawer earlier, no wonder she didn't have it with her.

I pulled out her cupcake and handed it over to her.

"Here you go! I found it earlier and thought you'd might want it back!"

She took it and she seemed really happy.

She walked out of the office amd into the hall.

Nobody else really came into the office tonight. Toy Bonnie went into a party room but went back once it hit 6 am.

I grabbed my stuff and walked past the hallway and stopped outside the Parts & Service room.

I put my hand on the door and said,

"I'm sorry, old friends. I'll be back tomorrow"

I walked down the hallway, and the dayshift guard passed me into the back office.

"Morning."

He said as he passed by.

I nodded my head and smiled.

I got to the door and walked out, going to my car
