Five Nights

The Victims of 1987

"C'mon, Shawn!" A young child hollered as he entered Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The child's younger brother followed him. "Seth, wait up." Shawn replied. "What are we bloody waiting for?" Seth asked. "Samantha, Reginald, and Tom aren't here yet." Shawn said. "We can wait inside--just c'mon!" Seth said. "If we're not in plain sight, the guys won't know we're even here." Shawn said. Seth sighed with bore and agreed to wait.

It was getting late, already 8 PM. Finally, the three arrived at the restaurant. "It's about time you guys got here!" Shawn said. "Calm down, be glad we got here, ya wanker." Samantha said. "Reggie, you got the tickets?" Seth asked. Reginald held up a plastic Kohl's bag overflowing with Freddy Fazbear's Pizza: game tickets. "I hear they've got the animatronics from Fredbear's Family Diner in the back, let's see if the rumour has it." Tom suggested. "You fuckin' crazy, man? We'll stick out like bollocks on a bulldog." Shawn replied as he led the others in. Samantha walked beside Shawn. "Uh... The expression is 'We'll stick out like a sore thumb', not 'bollocks on a bulldog', we're Brits not Aussies." She finally said. Shawn always liked Samantha since the first grade. (Just to be clear the story takes place in the United States, just most of the characters are British except Scott Cawthon, Gracie and Liz[Future characters], Dezi, Vincent, Phone Guy, Spencer, Garret and the animatronics.)

The kids ran to the Game Center and started playing video games to add to their stockpile of tickets. Shawn wanted to win enough tickets to get Samantha one of the prizes. He had a lot of practice on his Atari back at home with Seth, so he wasn't half bad at scoring tickets. As soon as it was 10:50, he had managed to collect a couple thousand tickets.

He offered Samantha a prize and she nodded. They walked to the counter and placed the tickets on the glass display the first cashier was standing at.

"Whoa, lotta tickets there!" The cashier said, smiling.

"Yeah. So, Sam, it's your choice on what you want here, my treat!" Shawn said.

"What're the choices?" Samantha asked.

"You can get six of the normal-sized plushies, three of the medium-sized or one big one." The cashier explained.

Samantha thought for a moment. "Big one, please." She finally said.

"Just wind up the handle on the side of that there present, and wait a minute or two." The cashier said, pointing to a blue box.

Samantha wound up the handle and a small jingle played. About two minutes later, a marionette-puppet popped out of it. The two children thought it was rather horrifying, the blue stripes running down its mask kind of looked like tears.

The puppet was holding a huge plush version of Foxy the Pirate. Samantha took hold of it and The Marionette slinked back into its box.

"Thank you, Shawn." Samantha said, planting a kiss on Shawn's cheek.
