Sparkle Like a Superstar

Chapter 26

1 Day Later...

It is Sunday, and that means it was attraction testing night! Saphira was extremely excited for tonight! Saturday was a very busy night, busier than Friday and she ended up spending as much time as she could in the office to keep her feet up. Even when there was another round of maintenance on the animatronics, and Saphira ended up oiling Freddy's joints on her own, she still put her feet up most of the night. Freddy himself hoped Saphira would not dislike working at the pizzaplex now that she knew how hard Friday and Saturdays could be for a night guard. But being Sunday, it was a breeze. It was not busy tonight at all. Saphira arrived at the pizzaplex thirty minutes before her shift, and she actually thought the building was closed because there was almost no guest in the house. Being that it was a school night and most people go back to work on a Monday, it did make sense that it would be quiet. But dead quiet was definitely not expected. Well, not quite. There were still a few dozen guests, and they were spread out through the facility so Saphira hoped they would not be a problem when it was time to do her round through the facility.

Saphira smiled when she spotted Darren, he was wearing a near blinding, fluorescent blue suit right now with a green tie. He was speaking with Carol at the customer service desk currently and Saphira walked over to him. "Evening. How was today?"

Carol scoffs and rolled her eyes, she seemed to be very tired and ready to go home. "Sundays are so busy during the day! So many whingers!" She sighed and glanced around with a smile. "And look..." She gestured to the empty lobby and Darren chuckled at the woman's dramatic gestures. "You would not even know how busy it was today!"

"Yeah, Sundays are busy." Darren nodded, agreeing with the woman. "But it was a good day today Saphira. You get the fun tonight. Testing the attractions if by far one of the best perks of the job for the night guard and technicians. However, Cliff and Dave are the only ones on with you tonight." Fantastic...Dave is on tonight. Surprise, surprise. "So make sure you follow their directions. Testing the attractions is a necessity here."

"Don't worry Darren, I am definitely looking forward to it. Too bad we can't start sooner than twelve. I have no idea which attraction we will be starting with tonight though. I was not given any kind of hint honestly."

"Usually Roxy Raceway, those go-karts need to be maintainced regularly because they can crash easily. So that is likely the first thing to test, followed by Fazerblast and Foxy's Pirate Adventures. Bonnie Bowling is usually last because it's just a bowling alley at the end of the day."

Saphira did not really view it that way considering bowling alleys needed to be maintained regularly anyway. But she did not comment on it. "It will be fun. I've never had to test attractions before."

"Then it will be a whole new experience for you. I am sure tonight will be a treat after the last couple of nights. I know it was rough for you. But you handled it like a pro. By far the best security guard we have had, even better than the day guards." Saphira smiled, she was glad to hear from Darren that she was doing a very good job. "I hear from Cliff you have permission to check out the staff bot system. Have you looked at it yet?"

"No...I am honestly scared to look at it. I did see the room where the bots are built and maintained in the Fazcade though. I am surprised that it is not in Parts and Service. Why is that anyway?" It made more sense to have that in Parts and Service. At least to Saphira it was.

Darren thought on the question with a frown, moving his lips slightly in a way that said that he did not actually know the answer. "Honestly, that is a question for the big boss. He wanted the system separate from the animatronics, so that is the reason why it is not in Parts and Service. But for the actual reason as to why...no idea. And you're right, I've seen some of the system for them and the coding for it is a headache honestly. I think you'll be overwhelmed when you see it for the first time."
