Cywren checked her cameras. She'd quickly worked out that she wouldn't have enough power to survive the night, so she had to use it sparingly.

It was surprisingly easy to learn the robot animal things' patterns. Once you got into a rhythm, you were okay. It was logical. Always the same. Duck on the right, check the fox. She found that there was no point in the left door apart from the fox. The bear was constantly outside the right door, though. That was just annoying.

She checked the time. It had been 12:13 when she'd started, but somehow it didn't seem like five and a half hours as the clock suggested. 5:42? More like 12:20. What was wrong with it?

The cupcake was just disturbing too. Why with the eyes? It was like they were a camera or something... And she had no idea what was with the pressable nose on the CELEBRATE poster. It blended perfectly when you looked from the right angle, but mostly it was just weird.

Sighing, she closed the door to the duck. It leaned through the window, it's bib on full view to read the words 'Let's Eat!' very clearly. It had been the first one she'd seen when she'd woken up here and scared the life out of her. If she hadn't closed that door in time...

Suddenly, there was a noise from speakers above her head. The chime of a clock, followed by the disturbing noise of children's laughter that she really didn't want to hear right now. What was going on?!

The clock read 6:00. That was quick. Only a few minutes.

Suddenly, the power completely cut out, opening the doors and revealing...

Nothing.

Cywren knew she'd had at least 20% power left, but that wasn't the problem at hand. Where were the robot animals?

She heard a noise from the stage. Looking out of the door, she realised the set up of the building was very different to what she'd imagined, but at the same time made perfect sense*.

She checked her pip boy. Not to her surprise, she had nothing. She'd never gotten back her stuff from the garage in Jordan's house. She probably should've thought of that before rewriting that code...

Sighing, she sneaked around the corner so she could see the stage. Two of the animatronics were positioned on the stage, stock still, chatting.

"-before 6. Now we'll be stuck!"

"Bonnie's still out. Anyway, did you see the new guy? I never managed to get in."

"It's a girl! I saw through the window. I've never seen anyone new last the whole of Sunday..."

"Bonnie isn't here. We are still unbeaten."

"Still-"

"Uhh...Hi?"

Cywren stepped out from behind her corner. They looked like they couldn't move so she figured she was okay.

The two animatronics looked at her.

"You see, I told you it was a girl."

"We never get a girl..."

"But we never get a girl. They just don't seem to apply for the job."

"They're too clever to need it."

"You're right."

"Excuse me?" Cywren was genuinely confused. That didn't happen often.

"You should know what's going on. You're the security guard. Or guardess."

"All I know is that there are three animatronic robot things that attacked me during the night. You duck thing being one of them."

The robot opened it's mouth, revealing one pair of teeth to many, "I am a CHICKEN. Chica. One of the proud souls of Freddie Fazbear's Pizzaria."

"And I'm Freddie Fazbear!" He tilted his head in a jerky movement, "I don't remember seeing you walk in."

"I didn't." Cywren quick assessed the room she was in. There were several tables, all lined up for a party of some sort. It was all way more colourful** here than on camera. In the corner was the fox's hideout, labeled clearly with a 'Sorry, out of order' sign, "Who are you? Where is this? Oh God, I got something wrong in the code, didn't I?" She sat down hard on a party bench at this realisation.

"Code? Are you not the security guard?" The chicken said.

"No!***"

"Who are you then?" Freddie asked.

"I'm Cywren Caster, heroine of the Wastes, saviour of Megaton, and all that stuff. But we really need a talk."
