It was summer break, where the days get longer, friends get happier, and life gets a little better...

Or until school starts up again.

I had desperately begged my mother to take me to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza to get an application form, but she refused to take me, worrying that I would be killed like the five children on the fateful day.

Eventually, I gave up, grabbed a small backpack, put some Gatorade, water, and some snacks in there, zipped it up, and screamed upstairs.


"MOM! I'm... Uhh... Going out for a walk! Be back soon!" And raced out the door before she got the chance to reply. As I walked to the address I got, occasionally taking a few sips of my Gatorade, I wondered what condition the animatronics were. We're they fresh an clean, replaced, or beat down and torn up?

The address was somewhat near my house, but it was still about halfway across town. I set out around about 7:30 AM, now it's around 9:15AM. Mind you, I'm walking(don't you dare break the fourth wall. I'm begging you not to)!

I finally arrive around nine thirty, and when the building finally looms over me like a childhood dream, I stand, feeling like a tiny kid again, and I take a couple of moments to look at the building. It was same as always, with its little logo, and stars and kid friendly doors.
I walk up to the door, and am greeted with instant screaming, music, laughter, and the smell of greasy pizza. It was nice. The smell of this place, packed more than I remember, brought memories to my head. I sighed and waited for a staff member to come over.

"Hello, welcome to Freddy Fazbears Pizza. Are you here for a party?" He mumbles. "Nah, looking for the owner. I'm here for the night job." I say, looking around. His eyes widen, then he leans in. "Don't take this job, whatever you do, don't take the job!" He whisper-yells at me.
"I. Want. The. Job."
"I'm warning you."
"Just go get the owner."
He shrugs and walks off. I look around some more. The wallpaper was peeling off, there were rips in the couches and scratches in the tables. I walk over to the stage.

Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie were standing there. Freddy was singing, Chica, was... well, I never understood what she did, and Bonnie was playing a awesome guitar streak on his red and blue guitar. I was surprised when Freddy started speaking.
"Alright kids! Were going to take a break from playing our instruments and come hang with you!" He said into the microphone. He put it back on the stand and hopped off the stage. I walked over to Bonnie.

"Hiya Bonnie! Nice to see you again!" I say, quite cheerfully.

"Again? I don't recognize you...," Bonnie said, confused. I was just another face to him.

My heart and face fell.

"Oh." I feel something hot and prickly fill up my eyes, and I swallow to get rid of the lumps.

Just as I was about to turn away, he pulled me back. "But... For some reason, you look familiar." He studied me closer. "Well! Guitar picks! I don't believe it! Ash! You came back!! After all those years, you FINALLY came back, Ash Pines!"

He pretty much killed me in a hug then.

"Bonnie... Can't... breath!!" I gasp. He releases me with a big grin plastered on his purple face. "I'm so happy!! What made you come back??"

"I'm getting the job as a night guard." I reply, still gasping for breath. I look up and his face was serious like there's no tomorrow. "What?" I ask.
"You.. Night Guard?" He replies, in shock.
"Yeah... Ok?"
"Don't... I repeat, Don't get the job."
"Why is everyone against me getting that job?!"

"I can't say... Not in front of the kids..,"and with that, he gives me a hug, like nothing ever happened, and lead me over to Freddy and Chica, who were playing Duck, Duck, Goose with some kids. "Hey kids! Are you having fun?" Bonnie asks, and is replied with a bunch of 'yes's. Freddy looked up, and, for a second didn't realize it was me. Then his eyes widened even more, and he nudged Chica.

"Alright Kids! Keep on playing! We're going to greet a friend we haven't seen in a long time!" He says, with a silly grin plastered on his face. He walks over to me and Bonnie and gives me a bear hug.

Freddy releases me and smiles. "Hey Ash! I was starting to get worried! I was wondering if I would ever see you again!" Chica give me a big hug and twirls me around. "Wow! Chica! You're strong!" I say as she puts me down. "Thanks! I've been waiting to see you again!" They smile at me, and I hug each of them in turn.

"Sooo.... What cha doing here?" Chica asks.
"Umm.. Well, I'm applying for a job here."
"Really? What is it?" Freddy asks.
"I'm applying for the Night Guard, to look over you guys!" I say, still filled with excitement.

My smile dissapears instantly as they look at me with worried faces.
"I know, 'Don't get the job.' I still don't understand why no one likes me getting the job!" I say.

They look at each other, but a beeping goes off. "We have to get back onto stage. We, hopefully, won't see you after twelve." Freddy says as they walk back onto stage. I call out to them one last time, "Do you know where Foxy is?" I yell.

Freddy points to where I knew he would.

Pirate's Cove.

I walk over to it and look at the sign. 'Out Of Order' was quickly put into the ground. I peek in. Nothing there except for boxes, mold, and a whole lot of dust. I step in. "Foxy? Foxy!" I call. No answer. I sigh.

"Foxy, if you're still here, it's you favorite buccaneer, Ash. I know you might be powered off, but if you can hear this, it means I accepted the job as the Night Guard, and I miss seeing you." I step out of Pirate's Cove and almost everyone on this side of the room stares at me.

"Momma? Did she just go in Pirate's Cove?"

"I thought it was out of order!"

I hear frantic questions and realize I've caused a panic. "Everyone, calm down. Foxy is shut down and cannot get out. They are getting ready to take him out."

I lower my hands and everyone seems to be okay with it, and they go onto their business. I wonder around until I see a sharp dressed man. He looks like he's around his forties, and he seems to be heading to me. I walk to him, and as I do, I get a closer look at him. He's got a nice tan, muscular chest, with strong arms, and he has sharp blue eyes with a white smile.

"Hi! You must be here for the job!" He smiles.
"Yep! That's me!"
"Alright, here ya go." And hands me a piece of paper and a pen. I read it over, and then check for the fine print.

None.

I look closely.

Still nothing other than the words I read.

I sigh, and grab the pencil. I go over to the wall and write my name in cursive on the contract. I hand it back to him and he smiles. "Great! You can start Monday." He says and I nod. I need to sleep. I walk over to Pirate's Cove, whisper a 'Goodbye Foxy.' And Freddy, smile at Bonnie, and do jazz hands at Chica. They smile in return, but they keep on playing.
I just can't wait until Monday!
