I made up the Foxy Show to have more stuff to write and to display what I think Foxy does, so enjoy :)

Susie walked around the large expanse of Pizzeria, searching for Fritz. Only a few minutes ago, their mothers called them over to talk about "something important." The only words she didn't shrug off were "stranger" and "bad," and she still had no intention to find out what they meant by that. Perhaps the mascot—but he was their friend, so they shouldn't be talking about him.
Fritz had run off as soon as they let him and Susie go, leaving her to venture the entire Restaurant for him.
A loud and bored voice came from the speakers. "Ahoy our little scalawags and our buccaneers, since it's 4:30, it's time for some fun with Foxy The Pirate in Pirate Cove," they muttered. "Only at Pirate Cove he will be, so you can hear his cool jokes." Someone then said something off-speaker to him. "So you hearties can listen to his cool jokes!" he corrected himself begrudgingly, repeating the sentence just to change a few words.
Susie continued to look around until a recording stated, "Fazbear Entertainment is not liable for any injuries or—" Static sounded from the speaker for a moment. "—at the Diner. All payments are final. No refunds. Have a fantastic day!"
Susie started to look around the tables for him when she stopped and put a hand to her forehead. "Of course," she said. "Pirate Cove. He would be there to see Foxy's show for the five-hundredth time." Susie had grabbed her bow while going to her mother and she had left his plush there. It was gone now, so maybe he had it.
Susie stopped in front of Pirate Cove. She looked around. "Where is—"
A hand tapped her on the arm and she nearly jumped out of her skin. She whipped around to see a vaguely familiar face.
"Cassidy?" She questioned hopefully.
"Um, yeah. I'm Cassidy," the girl responded. "Who told you my name?"
"Charlie. "Before she went missing." She then quickly tried to turn the subject she created. "I'm Susie."
Cassidy rolled her eyes. "I know. This kid told me." She brought a little redhead into view. The kid grinned. "Ready to see the show?"
"Fritz! I have been looking for you for a while," Susie said. "Where'd you run off to?"
"I was drawing with Cassy!" Fritz smiled and looked up at one of Cassidy's black pigtails. Cassidy smiled back.
Susie tilted her head at the nickname. "Are you guys friends? I never knew that."
Fritz opened his mouth but Cassidy quickly stated, "No," before Fritz could say a word. "We just met." Cassidy continued. "He forced me to come to Pirate Cove, also."
Fritz turned away. "No I didn't! You wanted to go!"
"I did not! You pulled me here." Cassidy frowned at him. Fritz turned back, grinning from ear to ear.
"Yeah. Fine. I did bring you because I wanted to see the show. But please, stay!" he whined.
Cassidy looked at Susie, and Susie smiled. "Fine." She turned back to him. "No nicknames though. It's kind of annoying."
Fritz smiled again. "Okay, Cass—Cassidy!" he revised his words.
Susie looked at the two of them. They're really getting along. And I thought she didn't want any friends. At least—that's what Charlie told me.
"I—" she started to say, before obnoxious music started blaring from the speakers on both sides of Pirate Cove, and the curtain opened, revealing Foxy in all his fame and glory. The black eyepatch was as dark as ever, and the golden teeth in his mouth sparkled like a bright star. His mouth opened and closed a bit, as if ready to say something, but he said nothing. A parrot with the same eyepatch but tinier sat on his shoulder. No one ever saw it because it always went out of order.
Cassidy opened her mouth to say something when Fritz put a finger to his own. "Shh. Look. It's starting."
The three of them stared up at Foxy as he blinked and opened his mouth. "Ahoy, Mateys! Welcome to my show!" He looked down at all the kids and they howled with joy. "I'll be telling ye some of my most famous jokes, so avast me hearties!" He swung his hook in a circular motion, drawing a giant ring around all the kids and adults there.
He pointed at his left shoulder with the hook. "Look at me bird! Say 'Ahoy,' me birdie!"
The birds mouth propped open. "Ahoy, me birdie," it repeated.
"Ay, you weren't supposed to say that. You were only supposed to say a greeting to these small pirates."
"Ahoy," the bird said.
Foxy's mouth opened into a smile. "I'll be telling ye me jokes, aye?"
The bird said nothing. Foxy turned to the crowd.
"What does a pirate say on his 80th birthday?" he asked.
"I don't know," the bird answered automatically. All the other kids started shouting out possible answers.
"Aye matey!" Fritz jumped up and down, waving his hands. "It's aye matey!"
Susie covered her mouth to hide a laugh and Cassidy grinned. "I get it," Cassidy said. "'Aye matey' is supposed to sound like 'I'm eighty.'"
Foxy looked down at Fritz. "Very good me little Pirate! Yer learning mighty well!" Foxy swung a hook toward him and he jumped back. 
Fritz's grin widened and his eyes shone. Cassidy leaned toward Fritz's ear and whispered, "He says that to everyone, y'know. It's in his programming to say that once someone says the right thing."
Fritz looked at her but with an even bigger grin than before. "He said it to me, though!"
Susie smiled. "Good job, Fritz!" She congratulated her friend. Fritz turned to her with his big grin. They all turned back to Foxy. Susie then looked at Cassidy. Did she just guess that straight out of the blue?
"Why does it take so long fer a pirate t' learn the alphabet?" Foxy asked the crowd again.
"I don't know," the bird answered once again.
"Oh will ye shut up ya wee beak?" The fox swung his hook at the bird, narrowly smacking it off his shoulder.
The three kids thought for a moment. The other kids in the room started shouting out answers once again.
Fritz pondered the question. What was the answer? His small brain worked harder than it usually did, trying to find the right simple reply.
A little girl raised her hand and shouted over the noise. "Because he was lost at 'C'?"
She had light blonde hair with a bright red bow identical to Susie's on the side of her head. Her pink shirt and blue skirt was easily discernible out of the crowd of tiny kids who were wearing no bright pinks. Her Mary Jane shoes and long white socks fit well with the rest of her girly outfit. She jumped for joy when Foxy leaned down and said, "Good job, Lass."
How he knew the respondent was a girl, Fritz didn't know. But maybe if Fritz had answered Foxy would have called him "Lass", too.
The curtain started to close and Foxy put his arms up. "On the morrow at the same time, I'll be here for pictures, Mateys!" The purple curtain closed after Foxy took a half bow.
Fritz crossed his arms. "I wanted to get that praise."
"Well too bad, sucker." Cassidy punched him lightly on the shoulder. "You'll get it next time."
Susie just stared at the girl as her friend and Cassidy talked. The little girl had turned to the left, her eyes shining. She had turned towards a dark haired boy to grin at him. The older boy slightly smiled back. The girl hugged the teen. The teen patted her head slowly. Then he turned to see Susie staring. Susie flushed and turned away quickly to look at Fritz.
"Um, good job, Fritz," she said. Fritz smiled at her and wandered off.
She turned to Cassidy. She had gone.
Huh. Cassidy disappears very quick when nobody's talking to her.
She turned back to see the little girl walking toward her. She decided to smile shyly as the girl walked over.
"Hi," the girl said. "Why were you staring at me and Mikey? Do you just like staring at random people?"
Susie shook her head quickly and her face reddened more.
The girl laughed. "I'm just joking. It's okay." She looked back at her brother.
"Wait," Susie said, putting out a hand to lightly touch her shoulder. "I think I know you."
The girl looked back at her. "Well, this is the first time I have seen you—"
"Aren't you Cr—Evan's sister?"
The girl stared at her. "Yes--I'm Elizabeth. His sister." The girl seemed to kind of dismiss that Susie almost said "Crybaby" instead of "Evan", but she looked like she was going to say something defensive. Instead she smiled and held out a hand.
"I'm Susie," Susie said as she shook it.
"I think I saw you at F—Fredbear's, too." Elizabeth said.
"Yeah, I was there."
