Chapter One - 'Welcome Back'


It had been nearly a week since Vincent had died.

You had called in sick, for the first two days afterwards. It had shocked and scared you, everything about it.

Mike had still been working at Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria, though he had often called you and started complaining.

And now the day that you would go back came.

As you got out of the car, the wind whipping your hair, your legs were shaking, and you felt like they may collapse from beneath you.

Each step you took towards the pizzeria seemed to take a decade, each one stretching out, longer and longer.

You pushed the door open and was greeted by a happy Chica. A grin had reached it's way up her face, and her eyes were alight with joy.

"[Your name]!" Chica ran forward and hugged you.

"Hi, Chica." You smile weakly, trying to show that butterflies weren't whirling and twirling around your stomach.

"Mike would want to see you!" Chica exclaimed, grabbing your arm. "Come on!"

You follow Chica to the office, and just as you get close, you hear an annoyed groan from Mike.

"What do you want now, Chica?" He groaned, sounding tired and groggy.

"I've brought someone!" Chica chirped, before shoving you forward. "[Your name] is here!"

"Oh, hey." Mike's eyelids drooped, and Chica tutted.

"Try to stay awake for your friend!" Chica snapped, and Mike's eyes shot open.

Chica turned and left, bouncing away. You turn to Mike, smiling at Chica's strictness.

"You two close yet?" You ask.

"No way!" Mike protested. "She keeps making me bake pizza's with her!"

You laugh. "I thought maybe you and Chica would be getting on better?"

"Hmmf!" Mike snorts. "In your dreams!"

You and Mike do as you usually did.

You sat on the desk, headphones in, plugged into your Ipod.

Mike sat in the chair, holding the tablet, and flicking through the cameras with a face of concentration, eyebrows furrowed.

At 3 o'clock, you realize that you hadn't even gone to see the animatronics. You mentally slap yourself and jump up, diving out of the office.

You decide to see Foxy first. After all, he was your boyfriend and probably the most worried of all.

You push into Pirate Cove, and almost immediately see Foxy sitting on his stool. Hearing your footsteps, he raises his head and his ears pricked forward.

"[Your name]!" Foxy cries, jumping up and enveloping you in a warm hug. He holds your shoulders at arm's length, and plants a kiss on your forehead.

"Its great to see you." You smile happily.

"Great to see you too, Lass." Foxy says, his eyes gleaming with happiness.

"I better go and see the others..." You trail off. "Freddy is in a good mood, right?"

"I think so." Foxy nods, and you say goodbye, heading towards the dining area.

When you get there, the only animatronic onstage is Bonnie, the guitar strung over his back.
