Something Missing

Things Always Change

The week continued on normally, or as normal as it could get. The only weird incident was on the second night, but Goldie still hasn't come back. It was now the fifth night and something seemed...off. The animatronics started up as usual, and they seemed happy. Everyone except Freddy. It seemed as though he had something on his mind. The other animatronics were chatting with each other, so I pulled Freddy off to the side.

"What's up Freddy? Something is on your mind", I stated. He glanced back at Chica, Foxy, and Bonnie then sighed.

"Come with me", he said and walked towards the front desk by the entrance. He reached over the counter and picked up a piece of paper. He held it in front of me so that I could read it.

'Freddy Fazbears's Pizza is ordered to be shut down in exactly two days due to property damage and animatronic damage' I looked up at him with wide eyes but he just pointed back to the paper

'However, it is to be re-opened in

5 months prior to shut down. The building and animatronics will be re-newed and open to the public.' That's where the paper cut off.

"We're being replaced", he growled. I looked up at him in shock.

"This can't be happening!" I yelled. Freddy shook his head.

"That flyer was placed on the door this morning. I can't believe that after all those years, we finally re-open and now they're shutting us down AGAIN!" he shouted and slammed his fist down onto the counter. I lifted up my stub and placed it on his shoulder, but he just shrugged it away. I sighed.

"Have you told the others yet?" I asked. He shook his head.

"I'm going to right now, they aren't going to like this, so can you wait in the security room?" I nodded my head and walked back towards the office. Foxy noticed my sadness as I walked by, and he nearly stopped me, until Freddy walked into the room. I gave a sad smile and walked back to the security room. I sat down in the chair and looked at the cameras. I didn't check the main hall so that they could have some privacy. Suddenly a loud shriek echoed through the building. Guess Chica heard the news. I flattened my ears on my head and shut my eyes. I heard the faint sound of a child laughing and I turned me head. Goldie stood in the doorway with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Guess the crew isn't too happy eh?" he snickered. I rolled my eyes.

"Go away butter bear", I snarled. He growled. I smirked.

"You won't be smiling for long smart one", he said before vanishing. I looked at him confused until footsteps caught my attention. Foxy appeared in the doorway.

"Avast Andy", he said quietly. I smiled up at him. He looked down at the floor and sighed. I stood up and walked over to him. I felt tears well up in my eyes and I quickly wiped them away. Foxy lifted up his head and looked at me.

"Ye be cryin' Andy?" he asked.

"No", I sniffed pathetically. I shut my eyes. I felt his arms wrap around me and I buried my face into his chest and let the tears flow.

"Shh laddie, we'll be fine. Don't worry", he said. I tried to stop crying like a pathetic wimp, but to no avail. I felt him start to pull away. I looked up at him. He smiled.

"Let's go see the others, okay?" I nodded. He led the way and I followed close behind him. The others were dead silent when we walked in. They were sitting on the tables and looking down at the floor. I hid behind Foxy.

"What are we going to do guys?" Chica asked. I looked over at Freddy. Something was...different about him. He stared at the floor with a low scowl and sad eyes.He looked depressed. Bonnie walked over and sat by Chica. He put his arm around her and sighed. I saw Foxy step out of the way. Bonnie and Chica looked over at me and smiled sympathetically.

"Aw heck Andy, it's okay", Bonnie reassured. I looked down at the floor. The clock chimed 6:00am and the others stood up. I looked at Freddy. He carried his sad expression all the way to the stage. I frowned and walked back to the security room. I grabbed my things and walked out the door. Mark was here today, so I hopped into his car. He buckled me in and noticed my tear stained face.

"Andy...have you been crying?" he asked. I didn't answer and we drove off.

Freddy's P.O.V

"We aren't going through this again!" I shouted. The others nodded. It was almost opening time and we needed to do something. I saw Goldie step out of one of the hallways.

"What are you doing here?" I spat. He smirked.

"Now now, I was just going to offer some assistance to your...problem", he said.

"What could you possibly do?" Chica asked. He grinned evilly.

"I have a plan in order to keep this place running. We strike fear into their hearts and no one would dare close this place down." I looked at him curiously.

"Yar! We can't possibly scare anymore people...and what would Andy say?" Foxy said. Goldie scoffed.

"Please, you can't possibly care what that pipsqueak thinks!" he shouted. Foxy and the others growled.

"You don't know Andy like we do", I said angrily. Goldie laughed.

"So what do you say Fredster?" he asked. I shook my head. His smile turned into a scowl.

"What?.."

"We aren't going to scare anymore people, even if it could save us." I stated. Goldie growled.

"I'll give you till tomorrow for a second chance." he spat. He walked up to me and leaned close to my ear.

"Do you really want your friends to end up like Foxy? Rotting away, being forgotten?" he whispered then disappeared. I looked over at my comrades. No, I can't let this happen to them again.
