Paris had fallen asleep on the train. She was seriously jet lagged from flying all the way from California to England. Dan and Phil were both awake because they needed to keep an eye out for their stop but they were majorly exhausted as well.

"Oh. I think this is the stop, Phil." Dan said and motioned toward the opening doors.

Phil nodded and looked back down at Paris. "What shall we do about her?" He pondered. "Should we wake her up?"

"No, Phil! Absolutely not!" Dan exclaimed and picked Paris up like a smaller child. She wasn't exactly the lightest, but Dan would do it anyway.

They made their way out of London Underground and took a bus to their place. As soon as they got there they went to sleep in their rooms, with Paris sleeping in the guest bedroom. She would have a nightmare about strange robot creatures and a cheap camera system. There was static everywhere she turned.

Phil would have a dream as well, regarding a pizza place and a child's birthday party.

Dan would have a nightmare about children's drawings and blood seeping from a costume.

As they slept, they of course were oblivious to what was happening around them. Downstairs, in their computer more or less. Regardless, they had company. Unwanted company.

Dan shot upright in his bed and gasped for air. He was shaking and sweating. What a horrid dream... He thought. It was a dream about the video game Five Nights At Freddy's.
He crept into the guest room to check on Paris and was slightly shocked to see that she wasn't there. Dan looked in the bathroom, game room, downstairs, everywhere. And as he searched in every room, getting the same terrifying result, his heart pounded faster and faster in his chest. With trembling hands he knocked on Phil's bedroom door.
As it opened, a wave of relief washed over him. There Paris was, asleep on Phil's bed.  
"Oh my god..." Was all that he could say after having been so frightened.
"What...? What's the matter?" Phil asked, very confused. Why was Dan acting so strangely?
"I...absolutely couldn't find Paris anywhere and she was with you all along," Dan explained as he felt a chill go down his spine, reliving the feeling of dread he had just moments ago.
Phil nodded and they both turned to look at Paris. They gasped. Two pale-faced British young men stood in that bedroom doorway, expecting to see the child they were looking after, but instead, they saw nothing. The sheets were turned over, and Paris had disappeared. She couldn't have gone out of the door, they were standing in the way.
Suddenly the lights flickered on and off, on and off, and they heard a scream. It sounded awfully familiar.
Both Dan and Phil dashed down the stairs into the game room to find Paris on the carpet with her eyes closed. She rocked back and forth as the lights continued to flicker.
Phil immediately bent down to comfort her.
"It's okay. It's probably nothing," he tried, but he himself looked up at Dan as if to say What the hell is going on?!and What do we do?!
To both questions, Dan had no answer. He was just as baffled.
Just then, they heard a clicking sound.
Did the door just...lock?
All three companions thought. Dan, since he was standing, tried the door. Their instincts had been right. The door was indeed locked. And now they were trapped in a dark room with flickering lights and a terrified child.
The computer screen flashed on as the lights finally gave in and shut off.
There was a message. And it read,
Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. May I take your order?
