AUTHORS NOTE: I tried to make this chapter longer ^^" sorry if its still short. Also, I will be adding pictures soon, I just have to draw em' up! Enjoy the chapter!



Its been three days since you first started working at Circus Babys, andthe routine has stayed pretty much the same. Go to the Control Module, press buttons, chill for a few hours and watch some movies or listen to music, then go home.

But today you got a call saying that one of the animatronics needed repairs. They didnt tell you much other than, Funtime Foxy got in a bit of an accident, and his voice box needed to be fixed. They also warned you not to move around too fast, or you would activate him.  So you changed into a yellow longsleeve,  a pair of overaulls, and a pair of tennis shoes, grabbed your toolbox, and went to work. Feeling like you were forgetting something as you left.

The H.A.N.D Unit didnt bother you tonight, and you were relieved. The thing got annoying after the second day on the job. You were also suprised that you hadn't had an incident yet. You heard that most employees here got fired or quit after the first day. 

You couldnt find a door to get to the Funtime Auditorum, and you almost did a double take when you looked at the vent. 

'I dont crawl through there....do I?' 

You didnt see another option, so you slid the toolbox in first, and crawled behind, pushing it foreward everytime you got close.  The vent smelt like dead fish (which was odd to say the least), but you had gotten used to weird smells, and once you got out the smell dissapeared, replaced by what smelled like a cherry dum-dum.

It took you a while to navigate the Funtime Auditorium in the dark. When you got to Foxy, you had to try and load the animatronic onto a dolly you had found near the vent wall, but he wouldnt budge, and that cherry smell was almost intoxicating.

"How are you so heavy? Your a 5'9" hunk of plastic!" You growled in frustration. You jumped when you saw his eyes open, whatever machinery inside him beginning to quietly hum, and the scent slowley dissapearing.

"Hi?" You said. A bit uneasy at the fact he had started up by himself. 

He looked at you for a moment, then clapped his hands together, his faceplates shifted as he spoke. "Hello! You mu-mu-must be the new teeeEEch!". 

His voice box was definatley broken. You flashed him a smile as you picked up the toolbox, the metal handle a bit cold against your skin. "Yup! I'm here to fix up your voice box today. Could you stand still for a minute?" 

Still looking at you, he nodded his head, put his arms down, and stood still. But not before opening his faceplates, revealing the mess of wire that was his skull. You tried to remember the instuctions that they gave you over the phone.

"So..gently raise head," you muttered, putting one hand on the forehead and one under the snout, once you heard a click you let go, the head staying tipped backwards in place. "Look for rectangular box..". There was a small speaker-looking box about halfway down the neck. You reached down, trying not to bump anything that looked important, and grabbed the box out from the body. You felt yourself begin to sweat, heat eminating from the head and the mechanics from inside the shell. "You okay? I think your overheating!". The fox just gave a thumbs up in response, not being able to talk.

You switched out the voice boxes and threw the broken one in the trash. After re-assembling Foxy, you left to go back to the Control Module when you heard the clicking noise again.  You turned around and saw the animatronic trying to follow you. You shook your head and continued forewards, Foxy only stopping to sit in front of the vent you had to crawl through.

"Hey hon," you asked "could you make sure the others are where they're supposed to be? I gotta head home." 

You squinted as the vent entrance lit up suddenly, a amber light pouring in. "Oh! Um, yeah! I'll be right back!" He chimed before running off, once again leaving you in darkness. You chuckled as you crawled through the vent, heading back to the elevator after you made sure you had all your things.

"What do you mean I can't stay here?" You said as you ran a hand through your hair. Your bags had been moved into the lobby, and the receptionist refused to let you have your room key.

The woman scowled at you, her bad makeup and the wrinkles all over her face made her all the scarier. She slammed a hand on the desk and pointed a finger in your direction. "Your late on your payment." She growled. "You miss a payment, your out.". She then pointed at the door, joints popping in the process. You just flipped her the bird before mouthing a quick 'Fuck you' and walking out the door.

You thought about where you could stay. You were low on money, so a hotel or an apartment wasn't an option, and you didn't really have any friends. "Oh shit wait a hot minute!" You said to nobody in particular before you hailed a cab and drove to your new place.

"Home sweet death-smelling home!". You stepped out from the elevator and looked around the main area. "Jesus. This is nowhere near enough living space!" You said frustratedly. You were sitting in silence when you heard somebody screeching.

"You don't know that Freddy! This could be different!"

'Freddy? Isnt he the bear dude?', you listened in on the conversation, hearing multiple other voices, and metal against metal.

"Foxy! That is not how we act here!" Said a feminine, motherly voice. Seeming to be scolding who you assumed was the Foxy from earlier.

"Oh! Im sorry your highness!" He retorted. "I didnt know there was another rule to add to the ONE MILLON OTHERS!" 

You heard a screech and the sound of something snapping open. You followed the sounds of fighting, trying to keep your footsteps quiet. Once you got to the sorce of the noise you found four animatronics. A tall, red haired one (who you knew was Circus Baby) was holding a purple haired ballerina (Ballora) in the air, away from Foxy, who had his faceplates snapped all the way open, trying to jump at Ballora. You looked at the far wall and saw Funtime Freddy with his Bonnie hand puppet, trying to look away from the scene.

"Are you guys okay..?" You cautiously asked. A bit freaked out by the face that the animatronics appeared to be alive. Their heads all snapped in your direction, and Foxy immediatly pounced on you, trapping you in a tight hug. 

"Oh my goodness Y/N! I didnt think you were coming back, and Freddy said that you quit but I knew you would come back!" He exclaimed, hugging you tighter, almost crushing you.

You patted him on the back and croaked out, "I missed you too Foxy, but I...cant breathe-" he immediatly let go, looking at you like an exited puppy. 

"Hey bon-bon," you heard Freddy attempt to whisper. "I think the nightguard has em' under a sp-sp-spell or something!", the puppet giggled.

"I think so! Foxy isnt usually this friendly!"

Ballora then stepped up to you, her eyes still closed as always. "Child, why are you here? And after hours of all times." She patiently waited for you to answer, Baby, Freddy, and Foxy staring at you all the while.
