Making A List

Your POV

It is now 12:03 A.M.. I had one leg on the counter as my other leg was overlapping. I sighed as I looked on the cameras seeing nothing. Making me pull out my phone. I thought it be smart to connect my phone to the cameras so I can see what's going on anywhere I went. I waited for the feed to upload to my phone as I walked around my office. I thought to that guy I had to kick out earlier. Jacktards like that are most likely to comeback. Resilient in their own way I guess. Since my phone was still downloading I grabbed my flashlight and take a tour of the establishment. I went to the main room as I looked to both sides of me. There where two small stages on either side. Both had signs. The purple curtains said "Out of Order" and the blue curtains said "Funtime Cove". I looked back at the one that said Out of Order. My eyes fuzzed out making the words change to "It's Me" in all caps. I with through my exercise again as I breathed.

Me: Damn hallucinations.

I reopened my eyes as I looked at the cove.

Me: Don't know who's in their, but I guess I'll help fix you tomorrow.

I looked down at the sign seeing cobwebs all over it. Whatever is in their has been probably collecting dust for awhile. In fact this whole establishment looks like it needs a rework.

Me: Sanitation my ass. What the hell is this manager thinking?

I near pulled down my face as I pulled dragged my palm down it. I tapped my foot as I decided to quickly go back to the office and grab a pieces of paper as I started to make a list. I also made sure to grab my phone. I put down a couple ideas of what to do to spruce the place up. I first thought about the separate rooms. I went to the kitchen shining around the light. I found cobwebs as usual and the only topping they had for pizza was Pepperoni... Burgers are kept in the freezer and the hotdogs are the cheap brand with cheese inside. Why does a pizzeria have hotdogs and hamburgers anyway? I left the room and went to look at the animatronics as I made sure I labeled the names of the animatronics. I decided to use my phone to record myself as I put my phone in my chest pocket of the uniform.

Me: Okay first up. Bonnie.

I stepped in front of her as she looked straight ahead. She was deactivated automatically according to the manual.

Me: Damage to left wrist and right shoulder... And  ears seem to be covered in rust on the inside. Replacement is needed. Recording end.

I paused the recording and made sure I wrote everything down before moving to the yellow animatronic. I looked on the side of the neck seeing the name as I wrote it down. I then started the next recording.

Me: Recording two Chica. Leg and both shoulders are damaged. Eyes seem to be inactive... And smells of Pizza.

I ended the recording as I double checked everything. I then looked back at the animatronic.

Me: Not that the smell is your fault... If you guys had souls I wouldn't blame you for leaving this place.

I said still looking at her as I put my hand on my chin and laughed subconsciously.

Me: Look at me. An idiot talking to animatronic who isn't even active... What is wrong with me?

I tapped my foot as I moved in to the last one. I looked up at her taking in her facial features. I sighed as I started the recording.

Me: The brown one who I'm guessing is Freddy has a couple chips on her face. Needs a new right eye as well. It works but it is fully black. She also has a tear in stomach. Service to her might need to be priority one...

I stopped the tape as I looked at her hat. It wears and tears all over it as I groaned.

Me: Why can't people just take care of something for once?

I took that off her as I went to the parts and service. I threw the old hat in the table as I looked around and went through some boxes. Luckily in one box at the very bottom was a black hat with a red strap around it. I took it out and blew the dust off and made sure it looked brand new as possible. I then went back to the stage and walked up to Freddy.

Me: Okay Freddy. To new beginnings.

I put the hat back on her head and made sure it was steady. When it stayed I backed up and crossed my arms.

Me: Like a glove.

My phone started to beep as I looked at the time. It was already 6:00 A.M.

Me: Time to go I guess...

I stepped off stage as I went to the office. I changed back to my office and changed into the clothes I had on earlier. I unlocked the door as the sun started to rise. As I opened the door I stopped and looked back to the animatronics. I thought back to the jerk yesterday and I looked how torn up this place is. If I just left them here alone things would just get worse. I looked at the opening time seeing that it opened at 9:30 A.M... I can survive on 20 minutes of sleep.

Me: I'll be right back guys.

I closed the door and locked it and hopped on my bike.

Freddy POV

Night Guard: I'll be right back guys.

The gaurd left locking the door behind him. Me, Bonnie, and Chica reactivated as my two friends looked at me. I reached on top of my head grabbing my new hat as I looked down at it.

Bonnie: I knew he wasn't like the others! I told you!

I scoffed as I put the hat back on.

Me: Just because he gave me a hat doesn't prove anything. He'll show his true colors eventually.

Chica: They always do.

Bonnie: Gals come on. You gotta believe there's at least one decent person in the world!

Chica: Not even the manager cares about us Bonnie! If they did we wouldn't be in the condition we're in! Look at Foxy and at the state of Mangle!

Freddy: Chica... Stop.

She did so as sat on the edge of the stage putting her hands flat to her side.

Chica: No one is going to help us and we're never going to find the person responsible for turning us into this.

Me: We're killing him. Tomorrow. No questions asked.
