[REPOST] ~A Bear Above All~ (Funtime Freddy x Reader)

#4: ~Malfunction~

You were called in for the morning again. The place was closed today, so the animatronics were going to be worked on. This could only end in so many ways, most of them bad. You continued getting ready, doing the usual stuff. ‘Hopefully he wont be a problem.’ You thought as you walked outside to your car.

You stepped in, not the most enthused about this. You just sucked it up and drove off. The day wasn't really foreshadowing anything, just a normal bland kind of day. The clouds were a bit heavier, fluffier and more of them. You eventually got to the pizzeria.

A few cars were around, just the other employees. You stepped out, feeling the calm breeze. You walked into the building, trying to find Samantha so she could explain what was needed from you.

You quickly found her, asking what your duties were. “Ah (Y/N), your here. I need you in the parts and service, apparently there's a little problem in there.” She said, pointing towards the direction of the room. You nodded, heading off to where you were directed. A couple coworkers were in there. And so was Funtime Freddy. “Oh boy, what's wrong in here?” You asked. Amber, the newest, turned to you. “Uhm…its something wrong with the conveyor.” She said timidly. You cocked your head to the side in question. Ethan, one of the more senior staff, turned as well. “Its a small malfunction…its just not moving.” He said casually. 

You walked next to them to see. Freddy was standing up right in front of the conveyor. “I think its jammed.” Ethan announced. “Here, I'll check the tracks. You two move out of the way.” He said, crouching down beside Freddy to get to it. Amber went to the other side of the room, and you backed up. Ethan used a couple tools to hopefully knock out whatever might have jammed the conveyor. “Hold on, I think I got something...” He said.

And bam.

The conveyor started moving, but Freddy ended up getting knocked over. You and amber panicked, trying to stop him from falling. Luckily, his knees buckled, breaking his fall. But the loud clank of the machinery inside him was still sickening. Ethan had turned off the conveyor, and went over to the two of you. “Well shit…” He said under his breath. “Someones gonna have to come in tonight to check.” He said. “But, why not today?” You asked. He stood up. “Because there's no time. I have to get somewhere else to check on things.” He started. “Today was set for us to check every room, meaning we don't have time to completely fix him.” He continued. You looked away, thinking. ‘Plus Freddy's unwillingness to cooperate…’ You thought.

Ethan looked at you. “I think its your turn to work with him.” He said. “What, no- I…why?” You sputtered. You knew how hard it would be, you just didn't know if you were ready. “Well, I've already had my experience with him, and we're not putting amber through that.” He said a bit sternly. “Fine…” You mumbled. He nodded. “Thank you.” He said, “Now lets get out of here and tell Samantha about this.” He said, leading you and Amber to the door.

You three left the parts and service, going back to the main room where Samantha was. “Hey, there's a little problem that happened.” Ethan said upon approaching her. She turned to him. “What do you mean?” She asked. “Freddy well…fell over.” “WHAT?” She pretty much freaked out immediately. “Uh well, he didn't fall completely like he only fell to his knees.” You explained. “How!?” She asked, an angered look on her face. “I was trying to fix the conveyor and then it started moving, so he fell.” Ethan said, keeping a casual tone. Samantha sighed looking down, obvious disappointment on her face.

She looked back up, “Alright, I'm sure you've already concluded that someone has to come back tonight.” She said in a serious tone. “So...who is it?” She asked. You took a deep breath and spoke up. “I'll do it.” You said. She looked at you, slightly surprised you were willingly going into this. “Well then. It's settled.” She said. “Ethan, you have to get him to the breaker room.” She said. He had a dejected look on his face before going to what was asked. “And Amber, just go check the sound systems.” She finished. Amber nodded, and left to go into one of the party rooms.

Samantha then looked at you. “You should probably head home and get rested for tonight.” She said flatly. You nodded, sighing lightly. You walked back to the main entrance, leaving the building. You walked back out to your car, stepping in. The subtle afternoon darkness was coming on. You drove back home, thinking about the events of today. There was a small part of you that genuinely worried about Freddy. How did he feel in most cases? Angry? Scared? It was something that lingered in the back of your mind a lot. Maybe you'd get to know at some point, or maybe you'll never get to no matter what. You eventually got home, walking in and sitting down on your bed. You tried to stop thinking about it, and fall asleep. Tonight was going to be interesting to say the least.
