Once Upon A Time (Human Mr. Hippo X Reader)

Chapter 9: 4 years later

" XX/XX/2046

I'm going to start studying marketing in XXXX. I know it will be hard, but I know I can do it.

I miss my family, my friend Cindy... and Mr. Hippo. Even though his never ending stories have always been boring, I still enjoyed his company. I know he's just a robot, but I like him anyway.

The city is quite nice, to be honest. Maybe I could invite my parents or my friend over, I don't know yet.

XX/XX/2047

I managed to go through the first year. Still three years to go and then I'm out. Surprisingly enough, I understand everything about commerce.

XX/XX/2048

The second year was a bit harder, but I still succeeded in holding on until the end. Two years later, I'll leave.

XX/XX/2049

I almost failed my final exams! I feel like my mind is overwhelmed by all the things I have to study. I hope my last year will be better.

XX/XX/2050

I did it.

I succeeded in my studies.

This needs to be celebrated.

Next step: Being a co-owner of Fazbear Entertainment, Inc."

You sigh in relief and close your diary after writing the last word. 

"Finally I'm done with this..."

You lean back on your chair and look around your small apartment. You softly smile and take out your phone, then dial a number.

" - Hello?

- Hello, Mom.

- Oh, [Y/n]! How are you?

- I'm fine, thanks. How about you?

- I'm great. What's new?

- Good news.

- Tell me.

- I passed my final exams!

- Congratulations! When are you coming home?

- Tomorrow if that's okay for you.

- Of course it is! See you there, sweetie.

- Bye, Mom.

- Goodbye, [Y/n]."

You hang up and pack your stuff to get back to your house the next day. Then, you change and go to sleep.

The next day, you wake up early and finish gathering your possessions, then leave your appartment and head towards the closest bus station. Minutes later, you arrive at the train station that will lead you back to your city. A few hours later, you get in your town and call out a cab driver, asking him to drive you to your house. Shortly after, you are on the spot, holding your luggage. You ring the bell and wait. The door opens in a bat of an eye. Your mother shows up.

"[Y/n]! Come in!"

You step inside and leave your carry-on in the entrance's hallway. You head towards the dinning room and sit down around the table with your parents. You talk about your studies and everything special and new that happened this year. 

" - Now, what's your next step?

- I won't tell you unless I get the job.

- Wait, you already have something in mind?

- Yes, I do. I've been planning this for years now.

- Wow! Years, you say?

- Exactly. I need to do some research before, but I'm pretty sure I'll obtain what I want.

- We hope you will succeed.

- Thanks, Dad."

After talking for a while, you head towards your bedroom and turn on your computer. You type "Fazbear Entertainment, Inc." in the search bar and find an article entitled: "Financial crisis at Freddy's".

You start reading the write-up and learn that Fazbear Entertainment has been struggling to make enough money to keep holding on lately. You smirk and start searching for the company's corporate headquarter only to find out that it is located in your town. You call the number written on the corporation's website and are welcomed by a male voice.

" - Good morning! How can I help you?

- Good morning. Is this Fazbear Entertainment's corporate headquarter?

- It is, sir/ma'am/miks. 

- I would like to speak to the CEO.

- Can you tell me the reason behind this?

- I have an offer for them...

- So... you would like to have an appointment with him?

- If that's possible.

- Okay, let me see... He is free this afternoon at 2 PM. Is this okay for you?

- Sure it is!

- Okay then... May I know your name?

- [Y/n] [L/N].

- [Y/n] [L/N]... Okay then. Goodbye, have a nice day!

- Thank you, goodbye."
