"Mama! Mama! Look at that!" I shouted. She smiled and we both walked into the restaurant. I looked around in awe at the animatronics and listened to the music. I saw other kids my age running around and screaming. I looked back at my mom.

"Go ahead sweetie", she said. I smiled widely and ran off towards Pirate's Cove. My favorite animatronic was Foxy. Kids surrounded the animatronic, so I wasn't able to get too close to Foxy. I stood at the back of the crowd trying to listen to what it was saying, but it was useless. I looked behind me. Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie were walking around handing out tickets and pizza to the other kids. I smiled until a little dog girl with brown pig tails pushed me out of the way to get closer to Foxy. She started to get closer to Foxy on the floor and pushed other kids out of the way. A security guard tried to scold her but she just threw a fit and walked closer to Foxy. I noticed a...change in Foxy. She got really close to her face.

"Hey mom look at his funny mouth she's so stupid looking", she said while laughing. I noticed Foxy lurch forward and bite onto her head. I watched as she fell to the floor with a thud. The whole part of her forehead was ripped out. I looked back at Foxy horrified. I ran away from the sight towards my mom. She picked me up and I latched onto her with my little claws. We ran out of the restaurant and to the car. I quickly got in and buckled up. We pulled out and sped away from Freddy's as fast as we could. I sat still in my seat, the scene replaying over and over in my mind. I felt a hand go behind my back and onto my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry Andy. Try to think about something else yes?" She asked. I nodded slowly and turned my gaze to the road. My mother looked over at me and smiled. I gave a small smile her way. I suddenly felt a dark wave of darkness and sorrow take over me, it was almost like a tick but two headlights pulled me out of my trance.

"MOM LOOK OUT!" I screamed.

*CRASH!!!!*

----------------------------------------------

I jolted awake off of my pillow. I was panting and sweating.

"N-not again, stupid memory", I said to myself. I looked out my window to see the sun shining and the birds chirping. I rubbed my eyes and looked down at my arms. I stood up and walked over to my dresser. I looked at the picture of my mom and me. I smiled

"It's amazing that you weren't hurt", I whispered to myself. I looked at my clock and noticed that it was almost 2:00pm. I opened my door and walked down the stairs. Mark is still at work so I have 10 hours to do nothing....great. I walked to the kitchen and looked around. God there is nothing to do in this house. I remembered the night before and how down Foxy seemed. Maybe I could do something nice for him! I walked out into the garage and shuffled around all of our crap.

'We have too much crap in here', I thought. I dug until I finally found it. I stuck my arm through the loop and picked it up. It was our old tool box.

--A few hours later--

"Why on earth do you have that old tool box Andy?" Mark asked as he dropped me off. I shrugged. He looked at me confused, but then brushed it off. I got out and carried the toolbox under my arm. I waved goodbye and stepped inside. The place was a mess after today, must've had a party. I walked back to the security office and set the tool box down. I then walked to the stage, the animatronics haven't moved yet. I stepped up on stage and patted Freddy's head. His eyes shot open and looked up at me quickly.

"Jeez Andy, don't scare me like that", he said. I laughed.

"The great Freddy Fazbear scared by me", I said victorious. The other animatronics woke up due to the commotion. I smiled but then looked back at the Pirate Cove curtain.

"Hang on guys, I'll be back", I said making my way towards the Cove. I reached the curtain.

"Foxy? You up?" I asked. All I got was shuffling for a reply. I sighed.

"Foxy, I have a little surprise for you. I'll be right back to get it." I said then quickly walked down the hallway. I picked up the toolbox off of my desk and made my way back towards the cove. Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie were watching me intently. The curtains were now parted slightly and I stepped in. Foxy was sitting in the back against the wall. I looked around and there were a bunch of drawings by kids hanging on the walls. Foxy was in every single one.

"What be yer business here Andy?" He asked with his pirate accent.

"Foxy, I need you to stand up please", I said politely. He stood up with a little bit of struggle. I walked over to him and held up a screwdriver.

"Is it okay if I fix you?" I asked. His eyes lit up in surprise and shock.

"Y-ye mean it?" He asked unsure. I nodded and walked closer to him. I slipped on an old contraption that I made so that I'm able to hold tools properly. I latched the screwdriver to it and began to work. I first screwed his mouth so that it wasn't hanging anymore.

"Ye were there laddie", he said softly. I looked at him confused.

"That day, in 1987, ye were so young back then, but I remember ye." He said sadly. I tilted my head, but i didn't interupt.
"T-That day, I wish it just didn't happen-" I held a stub up to his 'lips' and quieted him.

"Foxy, that day was in the past. I can't remember too much because I was only three at the time, but I know it wasn't your fault." He shook his head and sighed.
"Our memories are solid. Through each and every year that goes by. That thar day was still unacceptable", He said sadly. I got done with his jaw and he looked much better. I reached into the box again and pulled out a small sewing kit. The needle was already threaded with black thread. I picked it up in the contraption. I sewed the giant holes in his chest so that the robot parts didn't show anymore. I smiled at my handy work and Foxy lifted up his good hand and felt it. He gave a little smile.

"Hey Foxy? Can I see your hook please?" I asked. He grabbed ahold of it and took it off. I polished it and got any dents out.

"Hey look, we're twins", he said jokingly holding up his missing hand. I laughed.

"At least you have a hook, Foxy", I joked. He smiled. I handed him back his hook and backed away to view my handy work. He looked a lot better.

"Stay here", I said. He looked at me confused. I stepped out of the curtain.

"Freddy, Chica, Bonnie?" I called out. They all turned to face me.

"You can come out now Foxy", I whispered. He hesitantly grabbed the curtain and pulled it back. I saw their eyes widen in amazement. They all rushed over to Foxy and gave him a big hug.

"AWWWW!!! You look great Foxy!!!" Chica shouted.

"You look like you used to back in the old days!" Bonnie exclaimed. I smiled and walked back behind the curtain to grab my tool box.

"Hey Andy?" I heard Foxy call out. I turned around.

"Thanks", he said smiling. I nodded and walked down the hallway to the security office. I set the box down and smiled...until I saw something odd. There was a poster by one of the security doors that usually had Freddy on it. This time though, it showed a close up picture of Freddy's face, except he was yellow and had no eyes. I stared at it for a couple more minutes, but shrugged it off, until something slammed me against the wall. I screamed in fright and in pain. I felt someone pin my arms up against the wall. I howled in pain as my arms twisted uncomfortably. I felt the person lean in close to my ear.

"I think I just found another wandering endoskeleton. Now I have to put you back in your suit." he chuckled evilly.
