Survive the Night: A Foxy X Story

The rat

I heard Mr. Fazbear say come in after I knocked, and I grabbed for the handle, letting the door swing open. He smiled at me, seeming genuinely happy for once.

"If it isn't Ms. Jones, how can I help?"

"Hey Mr. Fazbear." I grinned, taking a seat. "I was actually wondering if I could talk to you about my job."

His face darkened. "Are you wanting to quit?"

"Oh no, nothing like that." He cheered up. "I was actually wondering if I could work full time. My sister and I love it here, and it's nice being able to come in and say hi during the day."

"Oh that's wonderful! Yes, I'd love to have you as a full member of the staff." He paused. "Actually, can I ask a favor?"

"Hm?" I arched an eyebrow.

"Is there any way I can get you to let an old coworker take the night shift with you? He'd only be here on Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays, I'll even raise your pay."

"Wow, that would be..." I stopped. "Wait, why would I be getting a pay raise?"

"Well, Vincent is kind of...odd, to say the least. Putting up with him isn't going to be easy."

"If I can deal with Marion, I can deal with anyone." I muttered, a little too loudly.

"Marion?"

"My little sister." I scrambled for the excuse. "She's actually out playing with Foxy right now, I think."

"Three M's, makes sense." He grinned. "I'm glad she likes him. Everyone seems to like the new animatronic, now that he's been repaired. I heard that you and May got Mike the parts for it."

"We thought we'd chip in. He's obviously a hit." I smiled, hearing his 'argh' through the door.

"That he is. So, are you sure you can handle Vincent?"

"I'm sure. I'll be glad for the help, and thanks once again Mr. Fazbear for the job. This place really means a lot to me."

As I walked out of the office, I noticed someone stalking around the edges of the building, eying the kids warily. He had long hair, tied back in a ponytail, plus a badge on his shirt. Must be Vincent. His name was so familiar, I just couldn't place my finger on it. I would have introduced myself if I hadn't seen the curtains to pirates cove sway behind the 'washing me hook' sign. Just as I got to the edge, Marion poked her head out, her eyes landing right on me.

"Get in here, now."

•Foxy's P.O.V.•

I was chasing after a little lass with amber curls when someone got my attention. It was little Marion, sitting by my cove, playing with her music box. A few kids sat around her, happily humming the tune. I'd forgotten she was there.

"Jesus Foxy, your crew is a bunch of super children."

I looked to see Mike walking towards me, rubbing his head. A snicker escaped my lips as I spoke. "Aye, they be worthy pirates."

"Where did Minni go?"

"Off to talk to Mr. Fazbear 'bout something, I suppose." I shrugged. "I wonder if she be working overtime tonight?"

"Probably." Mike said, backing away as the children began swarming around me again. I felt eyes on the back of my head, and I didn't even have to look to know that it was Freddy. They weren't getting nearly as much attention today as they usually did.

"Aye, me crew, why don't ye go plunder the main stage and rob ol' Freddy of his loot?" I chuckled. "Your Captain need to go off on a manhunt for his first mate."

"Aye aye, Captain!" They all shouted, stumbling towards the front stage. I saw the gangs faces light up as they began conversing with the kids. I felt a tug on my hook though, and looked to see Marion trying to get my attention.

"Foxy, meet me in pirates cove." She paused, glancing around. "We have a big problem."

"Lass, what be wrong?"

"We can't talk out here. Five minutes."

She wandered off, scrambling up and underneath the curtains. I counted the five minutes, using them to walk around and look for Minni. I could see her in Mr. Fazbears office, just where I thought she'd be. But once the mark hit I wandered back to my cove, putting up the new sign before slipping into the curtains.

"Oi, lass, what's going on?" I asked, seeing her standing awkwardly. I also saw Gold and Plushtrap in the cove as well, looking worried.

"Vincent's here." She whispered. "I saw him out in the party room, watching the kids. Watching you in particular."

"Ye can't be serious." I whispered back, fear and rage turning me quiet.

"He's out there all right." Gold scowled. "Bastards just watching everyone."

I balled up my good hand, wanting to slam it into the brick wall. Instead I just kicked my stool, sending it flying towards the backstage entrance. After a few seconds I calmed down, leaning my head against the cool bricks, wishing that my lass was here to help.

"Foxy?"

"Speak of the devil, ye be right on time lassie." I sighed, watching as Marion helped Minni into the cove. I swung the girl into my arms, feeling myself let the human side show. The hook made a soft clang as it hit the ground, and I pulled her into a kiss.

"Whoa, when the fuck?!" I heard Gold exclaim, making me chuckle and pull away momentarily.

"Ye missed the dare, Gold."

"What dare?!"

"I eavesdropped on Foxy and Freddy's bet in the bathroom. I was in the girls stalls when it started." Marion said. "Whoever she kissed first got to keep her."

"Don't put it so harshly, lass..." I sighed, looking at Minni. She looked like she was halfway between wanting to hit me and wanting to cry. I set her back on her feet as she backed up, a hard gleam in her eyes.

"You two bet on who I'd fall for?!" She snarled.

"More like...argh, me guess a bet's the only way to put it." I sighed. "He knew I loved ye and he was going to do anything to stop me." I looked at Marion. "Why did ye do it lass...?"

"Simple." She stated. "Freddy has a glitch."
