Five Nights in Undertale AKA Sans and Frisk get a job

Night 3: Things don't go as expected

Sans had a bad feeling upon arriving in front of Freddy Fazbear's through a shortcut. Frisk recovered from the temporary vertigo, and half jumped at the sight of the place. It had this sort of aura to it, one that Sans could only describe as being alive. It felt similar to when Sans had to fight another version of himself. That version had seemed to subscribe to Flowey's perspective of life, as he was cold, rude, and spiteful. Luckily, with some help from an unwilling Chara (because if they didn't kill Sans they wouldn't get to LV 20), the darker version was sent back to his timeline, and Sans had resumed his battle with the demon child. He shook the memory away, and looked to Frisk. Speaking of the owner of the RESET button, upon first laying eyes on Fazbear's tonight, they had felt Chara shiver. Frisk felt her sins crawling on her back as it felt like the entire pizzeria was judging her past mistakes. Both night guards shook off their apprehension, and entered the establishment. Their walk to the security office felt creepier than usual, as the two could feel the walls watching them. The two made it to the security office with no problem, excluding the creeped out feeling, and Frisk tried to summon a SAVE point. But somehow, they just couldn't summon enough determination. Chara gave a sigh of annoyance.

"Here. Let me help." As they said that, Frisk felt a sudden burst of determination. But this felt... wrong. Her eyes glowed red as a gold star was summoned in their palm. This time, however, the glow had a red tint to it. Frisk tried to pay it no mind as they created a SAVE FILE for the night. And seemingly on cue, the clock on the desk chimed, signaling that it was midnight.

~With the animatronics~

All the animatronics felt a chill run down their metaphorical spines as midnight arrived. Freddy, who was the leader of the group, felt his eyes go reflexively dark, and his irises become white pinpricks. He looked around, as a presence seemed to envelop the entire pizzeria.

'Something is very wrong here...' Freddy thought as Bonnie walked off stage, followed by Chica.

~Back with our favorite duo~

Frisk immediately checked Pirate Cove, and found Foxy poking his snout out of the curtain. Figuring he was no threat for now, she decided to examine the new camera that had appeared on the tablet. She clicked on it, and saw a room full of deactivated animatronics.

'These must be the animatronics they used in the past...' Frisk then heard Pop Goes the Weasel start playing from the room. She watched it, and saw the lid of a present box in the corner start to open. Frisk then threw the tablet on the desk when she saw what was coming out. It was a white mask with empty eyes, a creepy smile, two purple streaks akin to tears running down its face from the base of its eyes, and a red blush. She didn't know what it was, but it terrified her. Sans, who had been startled by the noise, turned around from the door he was watching, and saw the image on the screen. He walked over the the tablet, saw that their power was at 85%, and deactivated the tablet.

"let's focus on that later." He appeared calm on the outside, but inside he was freaking out. He didn't know what he had seen, but it set him on edge as much as Chara's empty smile did. He then mentally thanked Chara for their unintentional training at hiding his emotions. He flashed the right light, and closed the door calmly when he saw Chica. He heard running down the left hall, and used his blue magic to throw the Cupcake plush that was on the desk at the door button. It hit, closing the door, and Sans heard Foxy banging on the door before walking away. He walked over to check the door for Bonnie, and opened the door when he didn't see him. He also opened the right door when he found Chica wasn't there. He then walked over to Frisk, who was still freaking out. "hey kid, wanna watch the doors while i watch the tablet?" She nodded, and walked over to the left door. Sans picked the tablet up, and switched to the new camera immediately. There, he saw what appeared to be a large marionette standing next to the box. It turned its head to the camera, noticing that he was being watched, and pointed a claw at it. The camera turned to static, and when it repaired itself, the marionette was gone. Frisk, meanwhile, heard Foxy running, and was about to close the door when they felt something grab her arm. She looked down, and saw a... marionette string? She was going to ponder this when she heard Foxy at the door. She jumped right as he jumped at her, and the fox crashed to the floor. Sans heard this, and decided to use blue magic to throw him back out. But three strings shot out from seemingly nowhere and grabbed his arm before he could do so. Foxy got up, and jumped at Sans. The skeleton managed to dodged out of the way in time, though just barely, and went to shortcut over to Frisk, only to find that he couldn't. 'what!? why can't i use my shortcuts!? could it be these damn strings.' Foxy, who had crashed into a wall, stood up, and walked out of the room. Unfortunately, something else entered. In floated the thing Sans and Frisk had seen on the security camera. Suddenly, with no warning, it shot at Sans, aiming for his chest with three large claws. It felt one of its strings get cut, and narrowly avoided being cut in half by a green-shirted human. Chara, who had possessed Frisk at the opportune moment, had again used a knife they got out of nowhere. And for once, Sans was grateful for Chara's existence (this scared him). Chara sent a red wave at the strings holding Sans, and with his now-free arm he used his gravity magic on the marionette. It fell from its floating position, and onto a knee. Sans saw that the demented puppet had a soul, just like Foxy, and used his magic to grab it and lift the puppet into the air. "now, listen here, bud. i'm normally a laid back guy. but if you try and kill me and frisk again..." His pupils disappeared. "you're gonna have a bad time." The puppet gave a glare, and Sans threw him out the left door, and into an unsuspecting Bonnie. Chara then threw their knife at the button, the handle hitting it and closing the door. They then turned to Sans, the empty smile ever present on their face. Chara then grabbed their knife, and hopped over Sans, running out the right door before Sans could grab them with his magic. Sans hit the wall in frustration, and hoped that Chara cared enough about Frisk's body to not try something stupid...

~With Chara~

Chara had noted, upon leaving the security office, that the animatronics were stationary. They looked at the time, and realized that it was almost 6 AM. They grinned, and ran to where they knew the puppet would be.

'Chara, please be careful.' Frisk said in their head. Chara laughed.

"Stop worrying so much =). If I die, I'll just load the save file =)." This did not put Frisk at ease. It in fact made her even more worried. Chara just giggled, and continued running. They eventually reached the room where the puppet was, and found it standing by its box. It seemed to sneer at them before launching a volley of strings at Chara. Said demon dodged all of them easily as they brought the knife up for a slash. They sent a red wave of determination at the puppet, who used its strings to disappear into the ceiling. Their smile never yielding, Chara checked the puppet's stats. But all that came up was some static and random symbols. "Hm... Looks like someone doesn't want me to see their stats. Oh well. I was never fond of fighting blind, but I'll deal with it for this. =)" The puppet dropped quietly behind Chara, and swiped its claws. Chara somehow dodged, though narrowly, and slashed with their own knife, leaving a large gash on the puppet. It jumped back, and the two were about to charge at each other again but the 6AM bell rang. The two froze, and glared at each other.

"I'm guessing we are going to resume this tomorrow night." Chara giggled. The puppet looked at her, unnerved.

"Why of course! =)" Chara smiled, and walked out of the storage room. The puppet gave one last glare and walked over to his box.

~Earlier, when Chara left~

Sans stared after the kid, sweat coating his skull. The lights in his eye sockets vanished as he thought of what Chara could do to Frisk's body. They felt the presence of Bonnie behind them, and turned around, left eye blazing cyan. Bonnie backed off, worried. The bunny walked off, and Sans calmed himself down... slightly. He sat in the security chair, and ended up falling asleep. The 6AM bell woke him up, and he cracked his back.

"well, that was a good nap." He looked around, noticing that the animatronics hadn't approached him, thankfully. And since he hadn't felt a LOAD, he assumed Chara had kept Frisk alive. He teleported into the main area, where Chara came running out of a hallway. Sans had his magic prepared, and lifted Chara up in the air. "hey there kid. now, i'm usually a calm, humorous skeleton. but ya know, i seem to have lost my funny bone." Chara groaned. "so, if you don't give frisk back, then... well you can guess what happens next." Chara sighed.

"Sorry Sansy~. Can't really do that. I have a score to settle with that puppet =)." Sans rubbed his temples.

"no." The statement was simple, and Chara could see that they weren't getting anywhere.

"Fiiiine. I'll give Frisk their body back." Chara gave a pout, and with a sickly black glow their were replaced with Frisk's.

"you okay kid...?" Sans looked them over the best they could, checking if the fight with the puppet had left any permanent damage. Frisk smiled warmly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. My back is a bit sore, but other than that, I feel normal. Frisk lifted the back of her shirt up, and Sans could see shallow claw marks, and when she put her shirt down, the skeleton could see the faintest traces of her shirt having been torn. He sighed, and walked back to face her.

"well, you have some red marks like claws, guessing from the puppet. but you're fine otherwise. that's a relief. if you were injured, i'd get bonely on the graveyard shift." Frisk laughed at the joke, and Papyrus groaned at their house, feeling his brother had made a pun, even though the tall skeleton was sleeping. Anyways... Sans and Frisk walked out of Freddy Fazbear's, worried at how their fourth night would go...
