[14] New Year For A New Band

| Date : December · 31 · 79 | 3:28 PM | Y/N's Pov:

New Years Eve. The day where the youngest celebrate together with activities in a pool while the oldest celebrate with activities in a hotel bed. 

Or at least that's what Henry and Fleur have been planning to do, and so has my own mother and father. I honestly thought it was a terrible idea, leaving two eleven year olds, a six year old, and a three year old alone in the house for the day. Even if we were given into the hands of a Fredbear's employee, it's not like we knew them. Except for Michael, though. 

So here we were, the healthier couple in question in front of us, separated by the marble counters in my home. There was a red plastic cup, cut by scissors for an appropriate height. It held multiple pieces of paper that had names on it.

"So how this will work is you take a paper, and you look to see which employee it is. Then we all get to vote on it we want that person to care for you all while Y/N's parents, Henry, and myself are gone." Fleur said, pushing the cup towards us. I plucked a paper out of the cup, reading the name. 

"Josephine? Who's that?" I asked, turning the paper multiple directions. "She's the daytime security guard and the audio programmer." Michael noted, snatching the paper. Henry sat still for a while, his leg bouncing on the chair legs. "I'm not sure. She did just have a baby."

 Fleur perked up at Henry's comment, a smile growing on her lips. "Oh, Susie! Her golden hair, she's precious." She giggled, taking a small sigh. "Perhaps her husband could watch Susie? She can handle four kids, right?" Fleur hesitated at her last sentence as she started to play with the jade bangle she had.

"..Yes?" Henry looked to the side. "Josephine does make good eggs benedict and F/F." He immediately caught my attention, as well as Mike's own. "Can we go there, please?" We begged the two adults, Evan attempting to raise his hand also. "Well.. Elizabeth?" Fleur asked her. 

It took a while, but she finally started to slowly raise her hand. We started to get impatient at her excruciating pace. "Hurry up, Liz!" Michael pulled up Elizabeth's hand himself, her eyes widening. "Thats all of them! That was easy. We'll drop you all off later." Henry gave a warm grin at us, which we gladly returned.

|Time : 6:47 PM| Michael's Pov:

It felt like ages being driven towards Josephine's house, hearing Elizabeth ask if we were there yet, or begging for Krispy Kreme donuts at a gas station. Constantly listening to what I was scared to call Henry out on his horrible music choices or Evan's crying for 5 minutes until he remembers Fredbear is with him.

"The drive from Y/N's house to Josephine's was only 30 minutes" They would say, but the ride felt like 2 hours. I had to rely on the chance to seep into the deep enclosure of sleep to escape my siblings remixing the radio with their whining. 

Finally, I was able to set my eyes on the largest house I might've ever seen. Josephine had a mansion passed down from her great grandfather. She inherited at least 2 billion from her parents who passed away not too long ago, which really made me wonder why she chose to work at my Father's diner out of all places.

We got out of the car, the fountain showering the stone with its water. We went up the path and rang the doorbell as we waited. Eventually, a blonde woman with sapphire blue eyes opened the door. It was Josephine, her hair tied in a small bun. 

"Oh, there's the kids! Hi there!" Josephine patted our heads one by one. "Hey Josie, just a couple things." Henry spoke to her, but we weren't paying attention. Josephine's house had the classic twin sets of stairs, but also multiple rooms, their doors exposed to the entrance.
