(Y/N)'s POV:

"Is it difficult to look after those robots?" I asked a bit concerned from Friz's look "(Y/N)...I don't want to scare you but.." he looked at me like somebody was dying in front of him "Those animatronics..aren't just a pile of wires and metal..they come to life during the night."

Some minutes of silence passed, I had to understand what he just said to me and then I burst in laughter "Are you serious Friz?" I could barely speak "How can they come to life, it's not like a soul possesses them" I managed to calm down and looked at him.

"Please (Y/N), you have to believe me! Why would I lie to you?" the look on his face was so...desperate..I sighed "Friz..you know it too, I can't believe all the things you're saying- but..if that makes you calmer, I'll be careful"
"Thank you (Y/N).." he gave me a weak smile

-Time Skip-

While I walked down the street all I could think was what Friz said to me..it was just like a loop saying the same damn thing "They come to life during the night"

"UGH" I was so stressed 'Okay, (Y/N), you have to calm down' I took the phone looking at the hour "6:18 p.m...I think I should go"

It didn't took really long to arrive at the pizzeria "Wow.." I mumbled under my breath, it was so beautiful!

"Do you need something?" I heard an unknown voice "Oh, uhm..I'm looking for a place to work.." He was a boy with light brown hair, brown eyes and freckles

He smiled at me "Of course! We have a place for the night shift, is that okay?" I was still thinking about what Friz said to me "U-Uhm..yeah! But do I have to answer some questions or.." I was pretty confused since I never had a job

"You're hired" now I was more confused "Wha- why?" he lowered his head "Not a lot of people come to work here for the night shift because of the rumors.." Oh, ok now I understand-

There was an awkward silence "Uhm- what's your name by the way?" he asked "The name's (Y/N)" I gave him a closed eye smile " Nice to meet you (Y/N), I'm Jeremy!"
'That name really suits him' I giggled at the thought "Huh, i-it's something wrong?" He looked embarrassed and confused at the same time

"Nothing, don't worry..oh, when do I start?"
"You can start today or tomorrow" I thought for some seconds "I'll start today" his face light up
"Awesome! Come in so I can give you the uniform"

"Thank you Jeremy" he smiled "It's always a pleasure"

I walked near him down the hall 'Well, looks like dad won't be mad at me'

"But where are the robots..?" he gave me a nervous laugh "We like calling them animatronics..they are in the underground" 'UNDERGROUND!?-'

"What do you mean by underground?" he stopped in front of a door and took the keys from his pocket "I mean what I said silly, after they've done performing we put them underground"

We entered in the room, there were a lot and I repeat: A LOT of shelves "So, you're telling me I have to go underground for the night shift-" he laughed "I'm sorry if that bothers you but yes- uhh, what is your size?"

"It's (Y/S) [Your Size]" he went to a shelf and opened it "Ugh..I think I'm gonna be fired.." Jeremy was looking through the shelf "Don't say that (Y/N), the boss isn't so strict"

He then came back to me and handled me the uniform "Here it is" he said and I sighed "I just got hired and you're already so kind with me.." he looked confused

Jeremy's POV:

"What do you mean" I asked, she looked at the uniform in her hands "I don't know, it's just..I'm really shy and socialize it's not the best thing I can do.." she looked really sad

I put my hand on her shoulder "(Y/N)..I understand, but hey! It's never too late to do new things right?" she laughed "How can you be so positive?"

"I know, it' s one of my talents" I said proudly "Oh please" we both laughed

After we calmed down she looked at me "At what hour is the shift?"
"It's from midnight to 6:00 a.m." her jaw dropped and she sighed "Well, thank you again Jeremy"
"No problem (Y/N)" we waved goodbye and she exited the building

"Now, let's go to tell Henry the news"
