Shadow's POV

I was awoken by (y/n)'s alarm going off. I looked to my left at the clock. It read 10:28pm. Soon, I heard (y/n) shifting in her sleep and wake up. "Hey. Slept well, (y/n)?" I asked, smirking a little.

"Yes, just great, Shadow!" She said sarcastically, playfully hitting my arm. "Now get some clothes ready and get up. We need to take showers before we go." She said as she also got up to get some clothes and headed to the bathroom.

(Y/n)'s POV

Once we got to the pizzeria, it was 11:56 pm. Shadow and I ran to the office before it was 12. It turned 12 am once we reached the office and sat down. The phone rang, then it went to the recorded message. I muted the call, and looked at the camera, while Shadow looked at the doors. We had 65% power left and it was 3 am. So, Shadow and I decided to kick back a little. But that was a mistake. We were greeted by Bonnie & Foxy at the left door and Chica & Freddy at the right door. I was holding onto Shadow very tightly, afraid of what might happen. Each animatronic took a few steps closer until there was no space for shadow and I to leave. Terrified at this point, I clenched my eyes shut. I've heard that if the animatronics find you, they stuff you into a suit, and it kills you. But that didn't happen.

"Hello, miss and mister! I'm Chica! What are your names?" The yellow chicken asked.

"I'm Shadow and this is (y/n)," Shadow told Chica and the rest of the group. "So, let me get this straight, you don't kill people like they say you do?"

"No lad. As long as ye are harmless, we are harmless to ye  and the 'lil lass. Me name is Foxy, by th' way!" The red animatronic fox told us.

"Why don't we go to the show stage and chat. That way you two can know about us, and we can know about you," the brown bear said. "My name's Freddy, by the way. And the purple bunny is Bonnie," Freddy said, pointing to a purple bunny staring into space, like he was daydreaming.

We all headed towards the show stage. Once we arrived, we all sat down and they told Shadow and I about themselves first. Freddy got to the part about the 5 murdered children. Of course, me having a big mouth, I ask him,"Where are all the bodies of the kids?"

"You and Shadow close your eyes for a sec. Then we'll tell you." We covered our eyes and heard something like metal rubbing together and bones snapping into place. "You can open." In front of us were 4 humans.

The first one has brown eyes, tuxedo, and hair. His top hat and bow tie were black, along with his shoes.

The second one has scarlet red hair, amber eyes, a hook on his right hand, an eyepatch on his right eye, and wore pirate-like clothing. He also has a brown boot and a white boot.

The third one has short blonde hair that reaches just below her shoulders. She has purple eyes, a yellow dress that was poofy, knee high socks, and flats. She held a small pink cupcake and has a bib that says 'Let's Eat!' on it.

The fourth one has purple hair, magneta(idk how you spell it) eyes, purple shirt, a red bowtie around his neck, black dress pants, black and white dress shoes, and had a chain hanging down off the right side of his pant loops.

"W-who a-are you p-p-people?!?" I manage to say, stuttering a lot in the process.

"Aye, we be the animatronics, lass!" The pirate looking one said. "It's me, Foxy!"

"So, all of you can turn human?" Shadow questioned. They all nodded.

"Oh, and don't freak out over what we are gonna tell you next, okay?" Bonnie tells me. I nod my head in agreement. "The five kids that were murdered were stuffed into our suits. Let us explain some of it into a song!"

"Just sleep, just dream
Just sleep, just dream
Just sleep, just dream
In the back of my mind
I've trying to chase a monster
This whole time
But I couldn't see
The monster was me
No one heard our cries
Now I've run out of tears
The time has come for me to disappear
Get me out of this mess
And away from this stress
Set me free so I can rest
We're only kids
Who lost our way
But if we wait long enough
We will be saved
Just sleep, just dream
This isn't fair
No we're not just what we seem
We want to fly
But our souls are trapped inside
It's not a game
Not to blame
But we're forced to hide
Just sleep, just dream
It's only a nightmare
And soon we'll be set free
And soon we'll be set free
And I'll be crying out for help
I know I bite but I mean well
Can you see my disguise
I'm different inside
Can you break this spell
All the ghosts from before
They're knocking and they're breaking down your door
So please set us free
Now you she the key
Because I can't take the pain no more
We're only kids
Who lost our way
But if we wait long enough
We will be saved
Just sleep, just dream
This isn't fair
No we're not just what we seem
We want to fly
But our souls are trapped inside
It's not a game
Not to blame
But we're forced to hide
Just sleep, just dream
It's only a nightmare
And soon we'll be set free
We're only kids
Who lost our way
But if we wait long enough
We will be saved
Just sleep, just dream
This isn't fair
No we're not just what we seem
We want to fly
But our souls are trapped inside
It's not a game
Not to blame
But we're forced to hide
Just sleep, just dream
It's only a nightmare
And soon we'll be set free"

At the end of the song, I was crying. I didn't know how much pain they are going through with just this. And people talk bad about the animatronics in front of them, thinking that they cannot hear them talk, but the animatronics can. They are completely broken. They have no friends.

"We have only each other, because nobody else likes us. We don't have friends that stay forever." They say all at once.

I felt really bad. None of their friends that they make stay, because the "friends" are humans, and they are animatronics. I can't believe I'm about to say this and go through with it. "Guys!"

"Yes?" They ask.

"I am willing to let you stuff me into a suit of my choice so you will always have a friend around."

They stared at me wide-eyed with jaws dropped. Shadow was the same way.

"(Y/n)! You can't be serious?!" Shadow questioned me, still shocked at my words. "Well, if you are going to be stuffed, then I will be stuffed as well. But I will be stuffed after you so I can hold your hand through your turn. Okay?"

"Okay," I said. The animatronics dragged me into the back room where all the costumes are. Chica helped me pick one out. She chose a (f/c) (f/a) costume. It had (insert accessories here) on it. Now, I was ready to be stuffed.

CLIFFHANGER!

And I think I might have messed up on the lyrics! Oops!
