[Matthew's POV; 3 years later]
I'm on my computer while Mangle's part of me is in her sleep. I'm looking through the internet, trying to find any trace of the Toys and the rest of the Withereds, as I heard they weren't scrapped after all. In another window, I'm looking for anything I can find about my Toy Foxy, namely looking for her endo skeleton and exoskeletal suit parts. I managed to grab a few parts off of some kid a few years ago. Foxy has agreed to help me rebuild Toy Foxy's body, which I'll admit, Foxy's actually been a large help around the house these past few years, and Mom, though a little uncertain at first, has appreciated Foxy's help. Turns out, he's familiar in the kitchen as well. I manage to find Mangle's exoskeletal head as I hear the door open behind me. I look back to see Foxy walk in. foxy quickly looks at Bonnie slumped in the corner of my room. Despite the years, I have been unable to wake up Bonnie. It's kind of sad, really.
"Hey, Foxy," I say quietly, scooting away from my computer. Foxy walks up and sees the page with Mangle's exoskeletal head.
"Ye found the lass her head?" Foxy says, examining the screen. I nod and take another look as well. "Fazbear's Fright? What be this?" Foxy says, reading the URL title of the page I've got pulled up.
"Fazbear's Fright, from what I read here, is the physical recreation of the haunted house style attraction from the most hyped game, Five Nights at Freddy's 3. Not only does it include cosplay props, but it will include actual replicas and decorations from the pizzeria franchise, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. It says here that it's going to be open to the public within the next two weeks," I read from the Fazbear Fright website. I see something I haven't noticed.
"Aye. So, what ye be thinking?" Foxy says. I take a second look at the section of the web page that caught my eye. It's an application.
"Hey. It says here that they still need a night guard," I say, pointing at my screen, at the application link.
"Yer thinkin about doing it, aren't ye?" Foxy says. I give a quick nod and click the link, pulling up the application PDF.
"I'm thinking that, if I'm able to get the job, if it hasn't been taken already, I can try to get Mangle's head out. I know it's not right, but-" I'm cut off at a knock on the front door. "Stay here, Foxy," I say.
"Aye," Foxy says, sitting on my bed. I feel Mangle wake up as I exit my room.
"What's going on?" Mangle says. I stop at the end of the hallway, seeing a man standing at the door, talking to Mom.
"That," I say, slipping my hoodie on, slipping the eyepatch over my eye. "You know the drill," I say.
"You got it," Mangle says. I continue up to the door, beside Mom.
"Ah! You must be Matthew Phillips!" The man says. Suspicion flows from Mangle, as I take a look at this guy. He's decently dressed in a plain white dress shirt, one of which would be worn with a suit. He's oddly got casual denim pants on, with a black sports watch. I take another look at the man before deciding to answer.
"Yes. May I ask who you are?" I ask in return. The man chuckles lightly, as if he was expecting me to say that.
"My sincerest apologies. I'm Austin Fazbear. Your old boss' son, and owner of Fazbear's Fright," He says. He's the son of Fred? And the owner of Fazbear's Fright? Wonder what he's doing here? "May I please have a word with you?" Austin says. I glance back at Mom, who nods before walking off. Turning back to Austin, I figure why not. He probably knows me from Freddy's.
"Sure," I say, turning to walk back to my room. I quickly motion for Austin to follow, and hear he is. Opening my room door, I see Foxy look up at me. "We got company," I whisper. A look of surprise crosses Foxy's face before he goes limp on my bed. Austin walks in and sees Foxy sitting on my bed.
"So it is true. You did buy the Foxy and Bonnie," Austin says, walking up to Foxy. I quickly switch to the Fazbear's Fright webpage as Austin looks at Foxy. "Anyway! I would like to talk to you about Fazbear's Fright!" Austin says, scaring me a bit. We turn to face each other before he continues. "I noticed you send in an application for Fazbear's Fright, which honestly, I was expecting a lot more. But Rather than a phone call or something like my dad would do, I decided to come to you personally and say 'Welcome to the Fazbear Family!" Austin says, holding out an empty name tag for Fazbear's Fright. I look at it a second, eyeing the tag. Did I already send in an application? Shrugging it off, I take the name tag from Austin's hands.
"You serious?" I ask, looking up at Austin. He's got a light smile on his face.
"As serious as any owner could be," He says. I nod lightly in confirmation. "Alright! I look forewords to you becoming a part of the new Face of Freddy Fazbear's!" Austin says. I feel an uncertain excitement from Mangle as Austin leaves. Once he's out of the room, Foxy sits upright.
"So it's back to the office?" Mangle says, excited. I sigh lightly, causing a wave of unconcern from Mangle.
"Yeah, I guess it is," I say. I look down at the nametag in my hands.
