Steven bursts through the door,
"Pearl? Garnet? Amethyst? Hmm, they must be out..."

Just then, the warp pad glows, and the gems appear.

Steven screams, "PEARL!"

"Yes, Steven?" Pearl replies, worried.

"When I was walking out of the Big Donut, I heard Lars telling Sadie about this new pizzeria on the boardwalk! I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go!!!!" says Steven.

"Yeah! Totally dude!" yells Amethyst.

Pearl looks at Amethyst with an angry look.

"We can go tomorrow. It's getting late," answers Garnet.

Both Steven and Amethyst say, "BUT GARNET."

Garnet just shakes her head.

Steven frowns, then runs upstairs and hops into bed, and falls asleep.

-- The Next Morning --

"Steven!!" Says Pearl, "It's time to go."

"Yay!" Says Steven.

The Gems and Steven walk down to the boardwalk and find the pizzeria.

"Freddy Fazbear's Pizza?" Asks Amethyst.

"Yep!" Replies Steven.

Steven walks in and goes to the ticket counter, and tells the man, "4 tickets, please" then he runs into the dining area.

Steven looks up at the stage and waits for the gems to join him before speaking,
"Ok, so the bear is Freddy Fazbear,
the bunny is Bonnie the Bunny,
the chicken is Chica, the Chicken," explains Steven.

"Who's behind that purple curtain?" Asks Amethyst.

"Oh, Uh, that's Foxy- Foxy the Pirate Fox... he's out of order."

Amethyst stares at the sign that says 'out of order.'

"ANIMATRONICS!?!?!" screams Pearl, "Do you not know what bad things they can do?"

"They're completely kid-friendly, Pearl!" Says Steven.

"Then why do the rules say 'Don't Touch Freddy'??" Asks Pearl.

Steven waves off the question, "it's probably nothing. Besides, you're not supposed to touch them anyway! Answers Steven.

The Gems and Steven stay at the pizzeria for the whole day until closing time.

The Gems walk out, not noticing Steven isn't following, and the manager walks out behind them and locks the doors.

"Have a nice evening, ladies," says the manager
The gems don't reply, and they walk back to the temple.

"Garnet? Amethyst? Pearl?" Says Steven walking through the pizzeria.

He walks up to the front door and tries to get out but realizes the door is locked.

"Hmm, I seem to have been left here... AWESOME!!" Says Steven.

Just then, the door opens, and a man in what looks like a security officer uniform walks in.
Steven runs and hides.

"Ugh... Another night!" Says the man walking to the office.

"Hmm... I wonder what's wrong," says Steven.

Steven follows the man into the back.

"Excuse me, sir?" Said Steven.

"What no already?!?!? Oh... A KID! says the man, "wait, what are you doing here?"

"I got locked in," replies Steven.

"Well, I guess you can stay here until my shift's over. The names Mike by the way," says Mike.

"My name is Steven, and what do you mean by 'a shift'?" asks Steven.

"These goddammed animatronics come to life at night! Apparently, they're left in some sort of "roaming mode" at night. But I think that's bullshit. 5 kids went missing here at the pizzeria in 1987. They have to be possessed by those children! They're bloodthirsty monsters now looking for revenge," explains Mike.

"You're crazy!" says Steven.

"Oh no, trust me. Just wait, you'll see," says Mike.

Then a clock overhead chimes indicating Mike's shift was starting.

Everything was fine until 3 am.

"Ha, look, Bonnie isn't on the stage!" says Mike.

Steven stared at the screen, and Bonnie was indeed gone.

"Wow! You were right!" says Steven, "but what happens if they get here?"

"They'll try to kill you." Answers Mike "ah, hold on."

Mike then pushes a button on the wall that says "light," and in the doorway stood a giant purple bunny with a grin on his face like, 'hey Mike! Ready to die?' Mike then pushes another button labeled "door," and the door slams shut.

"Can I do this door?" Asks Steven.

"Sure, why not." Says Mike.

Steven presses the light button and sees nothing there.

Steven looks over at Mike, who was flipping through the cameras "oh shit, Chica's out!"

Then Steven hears what sounds like Chica's voice box saying, "Pizza?" He presses the light button, and standing in the doorway was a giant yellow chicken with a bib that says, 'Let's Eat!' Steven presses the door button and the door slams shut.

"Umm, Mike, what does this percentage mean?" asks Steven pointing to a descending number on one of the screens.

"How much power we have left," answers Mike "they turn off the main generator at the end of the day to save on money, and the backup generator isn't that good..."

Mike presses the light button, and nothing was in the window. Mike opens the door.

Steven presses his button, and nothing was there in the window. Steven opens the door.

The clock above then started chiming like an old grandfather clock when it hit an hour.

"Finally! I can leave this place!" Exclaims Mike

Steven and Mike walk out of the pizzeria.

"See ya, Mike!" says Steven.

"Bye, Steven!" says Mike.

Steven runs home.

The house is a mess. Pearl is curled up in a ball on the floor and repeatedly saying, "I lost Steven."

Amethyst is eating and getting food everywhere. "Oh, hey Steven!" She says.

Pearl sits up and runs over to Steven "oh my goodness, are you ok!?"

"Yes, Pearl!" Says Steven.

"Where were you??" Asks Garnet.

"I got locked in the pizzeria and worked the nightshift with a guy named Mike," answers Steven.

"What do you mean 'nightshift'? Asks Pearl.

"The animatronics come to life at night and try to kill you," says Steven.

"WHAT?!?!!? AND YOU WERE THERE!!?!??" Screams Pearl.

"Yep, apparently the animatronics are possessed by
children that were murdered in the pizzeria in 1987."
Says Steven.

Pearl's eyes go wide, and she passes out.

Garnet carries Pearl into the temple.

Steven then runs upstairs, hops into his bed, and falls asleep.
