With a heart full of excitement and a spring in her step, Y/n made her way to the family diner where she had volunteered as a kids party host. The diner, a lively place adorned with colorful decorations, boasted an array of animatronics that brought joy to the young visitors. As she entered, the familiar sound of laughter and the scent of delicious food filled the air, creating an atmosphere of pure delight.

Y/n glanced around, taking in the sight of the arcade games lining the walls, their flashing lights beckoning the children to come and play. The promise of winning prizes added an extra layer of anticipation to the already vibrant ambiance. It was a place where dreams came true, where children's laughter echoed and memories were made.

Making her way towards the owner, William Afton, Y/n felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. She knew that she had a big responsibility ahead of her - hosting a party for Afton's youngest child, Evan. Tapping him on his shoulder, she was greeted by a warm smile as William welcomed her with a handshake.

They sat down at a vacant table, discussing the details of the upcoming party. The owner, a kind-hearted individual, listened attentively to the girl's ideas and suggestions, appreciating her enthusiasm and dedication. Together, they brainstormed ways to make the party even more memorable, from interactive games to special surprises.

As the conversation unfolded, Y/n couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of such a magical place. She knew that her role as a party host went beyond just entertaining the children - she had the power to create moments of joy and wonder that would be cherished for years to come.

William
"So, you think you're ready for next week?"

Y/n
"I'll give it my best Mr Afton."

Leaving the family diner, Y/n's heart was filled with renewed determination. She couldn't wait to bring her ideas to life, to see the children's faces light up with excitement and happiness. With each step she took, she knew that she was embarking on a journey that would not only impact the lives of the children she would host, but also her own.

—————— Michael

As he rounded the corner, his eyes widened at the sight before him. There stood his father, engaged in a lively conversation with a young, vibrant woman. She had an undeniable beauty that was hard to ignore, and it made him wonder why she would be talking to his dad. His mind raced with questions, curiosity intertwining with a hint of confusion.

Was she a new employee here? Michael didn't think so though, he knows that his father would rather hire older people to organise the diner. Was she a family friend? The possibilities seemed endless, and his imagination began to wander.

He watched as they laughed together, their voices carrying on the breeze. It was a scene that both intrigued and puzzled him. His dad, usually reserved and serious, seemed to be genuinely enjoying her company. The young woman, on the other hand, exuded a carefree energy that was infectious. It was a stark contrast to the routine conversations he had witnessed between his parents over the years.

As he continued to observe from a distance, a mix of emotions flooded his heart. Admiration for his father's ability to connect with someone so effortlessly, coupled with a twinge of insecurity about his own social skills. He couldn't help but wonder what made this girl so special, so captivating, that she had managed to capture his dad's attention.

Yet, amidst the whirlwind of thoughts, he couldn't deny the warmth that spread across his chest. Seeing his father engaged in conversation with someone who brought him joy was a sight that filled him with a sense of contentment. It reminded him that his dad, too, deserved moments of happiness and companionship.

As he mustered the courage to approach them, he decided to cast aside his initial doubts and embrace the situation with an open mind. After all, life was full of surprises, and perhaps this encounter was one of them. As he drew closer, he couldn't help but smile, ready to greet both his dad and the young woman who had unknowingly sparked a curiosity within him.

And there she went, before he knew it she left the diner. It was like she disappeared, she got up so quickly and fled. Kind of upsetting to Michael.

Still in curiosity, Michael found himself confronting his father about the seemingly innocent interaction.

As he sat down, Michael mustered the courage to ask his father about the encounter.

Michael walked over to his father and took a seat next to him, "Father, who were you talking to?"

With a calm demeanor, the father explained that the young girl was going to be the party host for his younger brother's birthday celebration the following week.

He went on to describe how he had been discussing the party arrangements and ensuring that everything was in order.

The son's initial confusion began to dissipate as he listened to his father's explanation. He realized that his father's intentions were pure and centered around creating a memorable experience for his younger sibling. The father's choice to engage with the young girl was simply a means to ensure that the party would be a success.

In that moment, Michael's perspective shifted, and he saw his father in a new light. He recognized the lengths his father went to in order to make his siblings happy, even if it meant engaging in conversations that may have seemed unusual at first glance. The son felt a sense of gratitude and admiration for his father's dedication to his family.
