 "Thank you so (y/n), you have no idea how grateful I am" Stacy said for the tenth time that day.
Turned out no one thanked you, they left leaving you and Stacy to clean the mess up, it seemed pretty clear to you that this was normal for them, you felt sorry for the last mechanic who was here, it wouldn't have surprised you if he left the job because of the poor staff work here.
"And once again Stacy don't mention it" something told you that no one was going to mention this to your dad since he only came to this place when it was a dire emergency, after all he did have other things to do and did run another company as a second in command.
You both had been so busy cleaning the place up that you never heard someone come in.
"Excuse me, I'm the new night guard Fritz Smith (1)" he said nervously "could you tell me where the office is please?"
When you turned to see him you froze, his appearance was odd as his skin was so pale you would think that he had never been in the sun before, he had short and shaggy purple hair and as you looked closely at his face you realized that his pupils were really small, almost none existent from a distance, you began to wonder if it was just your imagination.
Stacy was the first to come out of her shock "er, sure sir, please follow me" she gestured him to follow her.
Your whole body was screaming or her not to go with him, to get her away from that creep, but you couldn't, it was as if someone had taken complete control of your legs.
"Thank you very much" he said as he followed her to the room.
Once they were out of sight you could finally breath and move properly, putting the mop into the bucket you took it into the kitchen and cleaned up in there, then you placed them into the supply cupboard.
You ran into Stacy near Kid's Cove and Prize Corner.
"How did it go with the new night guard?" You asked out of interest.
"He was um, different from the other guards we've had before" she replied with a small blush appearing on her cheeks.
"Stacy" you sighed "if you want to get to know him then I wont stop you, but please be careful with him okay? Something about him seems...off"
Stacy gave you a small smile "don't worry sis I'll be careful" she gave you a quick hug "shall we get going then?"
"You go on ahead, I want to be here a little longer and don't worry I'll lock up"
She gave you the keys "don't forget then and I'll see you tomorrow" she left.
You had already informed your dad you might be a little late and he said it was alright and that you would be back before midnight.
Since you had already spent the whole day with the band and they didn't need cleaning you decided to hang out with the Puppet and Mangle, you went to Prize Corner first and was greeted by the glass cases that had chibi or smaller versions of the band and the puppet himself, you had never seen him come out of the box before but you had a guess that the black toy with purple lines was the toy in the box, you absolutely loved its gothic design, when you weren't reading books on mechanical stuff you were drawing and designing clothes similar to the puppet, goth clothes were one of your favorites.
You never told your dad or Stacy about this but you always talked to puppet about your past, your leg and your worries, you even did it with Mangle because you felt connected to them, like you were all suffering together and you needed to be closer to them, yes you liked the band but when you were around the puppet and Mangle you felt like you needed to comfort them, to support them, it may sound or seem weird but it was like a sixth sense.
However whenever you did talk to the Puppet you never opened the box since it was closing time, so you did the next best thing, sitting next to the box and pretending that it was the puppet next to you.
"It's me again" you said softly "today had been a slight nuisance since Bonnie's voice box was slightly damaged but repairable" you sighed for a moment "I am happy though, being here I mean, I just wished I had been here when it was in its prime before everything went down hill, I had seen the charts myself and apparently this place has been slowly loosing money, I'm guessing nobody cares about animatronics anymore eh?" you sighed sadly.
You talked to the puppet a bit longer till you decided to go and see Mangle, you said goodbye to him before getting up and leaving the room, not seeing the box open slightly to reveal a pair of white glowing eyes looking at your back.

As soon as you stepped into Kid's Cove you could feel the negative and positive energy in the room, strange, you saw Mangle on the floor in the same position like everyday, your heart cried out at the sight and state the robot was in, picking the eye that was always falling out you carefully placed it back into its socket.
"Kids have Lego pieces these days so why would they destroy something that isn't theirs?" you said angrily under your breath "they have no right to do this, especially the workers they obviously don't care if the kids get hurt" you were so upset that you didn't notice you were rambling, or that someone was staring at your now pacing figure.
You froze when you felt a pair of eyes on you, you looked in the direction you felt them but only saw Mangle's eye's looking at you, that's funny, weren't those looking at the floor a moment ago? Oh well, shrugging off the feeling you bent down slightly to stroke the fox's head.
"I promise you now Mangle" you said softly with determination "when I am a more skilled mechanic I will get you fixed, I don't know how long it will take but I will do whatever I can to make you better again" you rubbed the fox's head in a cat like way before letting go and getting up to leave the diner.
You weren't sure at first, but you could have sworn you heard the fox whine and purr for you to either come back or the thought of making it whole again.

As you slept that night your mind began to wonder to the new night guard, who was he? Where did he come from? And was that hair of his natural or died?  


(1) in case you don't know Fritz Smith was mentioned in FNAF 2, he was fired for tampering with the animatronics.
