Chapter 1

20th OF DECEMBER, FIVE DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS

All families are perfect around this time of year.

The heroes we know are celebrating the most loved holiday of all.

Michael (Mike) Schmidt was sitting at home, drinking hot cocoa and watching the snow fall outside the window. It was going to be the perfect white Christmas his wife wanted. Rebecca Schmidt then came into the room leaving the kitchen with a heavenly smell following her, she then placed down a plate full of Christmas cookies all shaped like trees and bells that had been iced in various colours like red, white, yellow and green. Rebecca then went to grab Sarah from her play area, she giggled as her mother lifted her and took her to the couch, where Mike pulled them both in for a good hug, which was warm and full of love.

Jeremy Fitzgeneral was having his first Christmas with his girlfriend, Marisa who had finally convinced him to spend Christmas with her. Marisa was in the kitchen doing early preparations for the Christmas dinner she had planned for herself, Jeremy, his parents and her older sister. Jeremy helped as she prepared a pudding with her own homemade custard. She smiled as he helped, then she lightly smacked him when he dipped his fingers in to taste her custard. Then she smiled again when he said how good it was.

Fritz had his Christmas with his father, who were both food critics, so as they both watched TV specials about how to make the perfect turkey, Fritz's father criticised the hosts for doing the incorrect methods in his opinion. Then Fritz offered his father eggnog to calm his nerves, he then was taken off guard when his dad began to chug it down like there was no tomorrow. Then they both shared a laugh as per the usual.

Freddy Fazbear had the tree set up and had the lights glowing in the night, everyone else applauded his actions until he slipped off the roof and Bonnie came to save him as he fell into the pile of snow outside. He then recovered quiet quickly and went back to seeing how Chica was going in the kitchen reading the recipe for Christmas. Then he checked in on Mangle as she added decorations to Kids cove with the help of BonBon. He smiled as Christmas went on as planned.

Meanwhile else where, Felix was on his couch at home with Foxy and Marionette sitting next to him as they watched Christmas movies on TV. Foxy wanted to have a nice Christmas with Felix and Marionette came to keep an eye on them as Felix also invited his Grandmother, who was busy in Felix's study wrapping up presents then hiding them in her large wooden chest which she locked each time so no one got a peek at their presents too early. When Margareta came back into the room, Foxy then jumped to his feet to help her sit back down, then she surprised him by putting a Christmas hat on his head. Marionette then got the idea and snapped his fingers making hats appear on everyone's heads. Margareta had a laugh then came over to hug both of her grandsons who embraced their loving and kindhearted grandmother. Marionette then took a photo of the moment. Then spoke thanking that the family was whole again and thanking Antonius for being such a wonderful man. Which earn him a hug also.

Every family was together and perfect for Christmas.

But one was corrupt at this time.

At lease one saw the cracks in the family.

Aaron Sarred was a man who worked on the other side of San Francisco away from Freddy Fazbear's pizza. He had the unique job of being the tech at Circus Baby's rental entertainment. Which was strange in some policies...Such as the fact he had to work at Christmas. Well at night at lease. From 12 to 6, with the added fact he worked underground. That's right. Underground. At lease a kilometre below the surface.

Aaron was the type of guy who was smart, but no that many people saw a guy with short red hair and light mint green eyes as being intelligent. Aaron's job at Circus baby's gave him the tasks to maintain the robot and keep them in good shape. They use to hold it against him because he was a human, but then he learnt the dark secret that there was a person or more exact, a machine in the shadows being the puppet master and running the place like some type of an American Hitler who was a messed up and half destroyed robot.

This machine had the idea humans were evil. But Aaron couldn't talk that someone out of his strong beliefs that humans had destroyed their world.

Aaron spend most of the morning and afternoon at the shops buying presents for his younger sister, his mother and sick grandmother who he planned to visit on Christmas Eve in hospital. He had spend most of the night wrapping them also, until he looked up at the time and realised he could be late for his shift. So he packed away the unfinished presents into the back of his car, figuring he could do the rest at Circus Baby's.

Once he was at the place, he loaded the gifts into bags and went inside the elevator. Where the Handy Unit began to blab again.

"Welcome to another week on the job. You are the longer staying employee who hasn't gone insane or quit. We did over look the fact you entered a forbidden area and saw some rather disturbing content. Remember you were only rehired because Mr Afton wanted you to keep working despite what you encountered."

Aaron grumbled because they kept reminding him of that.

"Also because Christmas is fast approaching and the robots don't do shows on Christmas, you will not be required to do much tonight. Just check On Ballora, the Funtimes and Baby. Then you have the rest of the night to yourself. Enjoy the rest of your night."

Aaron sighed glad he didn't have to do much, so once the elevator stopped, he pressed the red button and went on into the vents to do his job then get his free time.

Aaron pressed the button which turned on the lights in the Ballora Gallery and he found her on her stage with the Minireenas, they appeared to be playing a game so Aaron didn't disturb them, then he swung around and turned on the light in the Funtime auditorium, where he found Funtime Foxy, Funtime Freddy and BonBon sitting on the stage and playing a round of cards.

Then Aaron went down to the circus control and didn't find Baby on her stage. Instead he heard from the Handy Unit who jumped out of no where.

"It appears Circus Baby had wandered into the Funtime Auditorium. Since she is not in any trouble. There is no need for you to go find her."

Great. Circus Baby was in the Funtime's area for some reason. Aaron decided to disregard and went into the main control module to get back onto wrapping the gifts. He just finished one when he was alarmed by loud tapping, he then looked into the direction of the funtime auditorium and turned on the light, where he saw Circus Baby tapping the window repetitively. He then took that as a signal to come in, so he placed everything back inside his bag not wanting for the Minireenas or Bibybab to steal his stuff again. Especially since they loved to steal his food. He then crawled inside the vent and stood up right in front of her.

"What are you doing?" She asked curiously.

"My own business. Why?" He questioned why she was so curious to know his every move.

"I'm just making sure you don't draw the wrong type of attention." Baby informed him.

"He was bullying you. Someone had to settle him down. He's still feral anyway." Aaron knew who she was referring to and wanted to make sure she and the others were safe from said person.

"You fought back. He doesn't like humans let alone those who manage to fight back and win against him. Your race practically a traitor to him."

"That's what he thinks." Aaron scowled.

"So back to question one. What are you doing?"

"Wrapping presents." He told her.

"Is it someone's birthday?!" Funtime Freddy asked suddenly appearing behind him.

"No!" Aaron jumped back startled, he then moved towards the direction of Funtime Foxy. "It's almost Christmas."

"Christmas?" Funtime Freddy asked confused.

"What is Christmas?" Bonbon asked him.

"You don't know want Christmas is?" Aaron looked at them puzzled.

"I don't ever recall having this Chris-Mass in the underground." Funtime Freddy shrugged looking confused.

"It's pronounced Christmas Freddy." Aaron corrected him.

"Then what is this Christmas?" Baby asked as Ballora and the Minireenas entered the room alongside Bibybab.

"Christmas is a holiday. On the 25th of December every year. We come together and celebrate."

"Celebrate what?" Funtime Foxy asked.

"Presents?" Baby guessed.

"No. Christmas is the season of giving to others. It's about more than presents, it's about family, and love and having a good time to just sit down and talk like a family should. Christmas brings all together. Everyone has a different way to celebrate it." Aaron told them.

"We're a family. Should we be celebrating Christmas?" Bibybab asked looking at everyone.

"Maybe you could..."

"Maybe it would be best if we didn't... we could draw unwanted attention..." Baby advised with a hint of caution in her voice.

"Baby we've never had Christmas It's not fair!" Bibybab whined like a child.

"He is right Baby. We've never celebrated being a family. Maybe Christmas is an open door for us." Ballora nodded at her.

"What do you do at Christmas?" Funtime Freddy asked sitting crosslegged on the ground listening to Aaron.

"Personally My family just have a big get together on Christmas day at my Mom's house, My Grandma and My younger sister all come, I'm excepting this year we'll have my younger sister's boyfriend come over. We play games then have a large lunch, my Grandma makes a roasted ham in the oven, My Mom cooks a turkey and makes biscuits, we have meat, vegetables and pudding. We stuff ourselves sick basically. Then we give each other gifts to have. We either play more games or leave depending on how late it is."

"What type of games do you play?" One of the minireenas asked.

"Well board games. Like monopoly and dungeons and dragons in a christmasy fashion speaking. Sometimes we even go down to the lake. It freezes over sometimes and my Mom loves to ice stake when it freezes over."

"We should play board games. We got some in the supply closet!"

"Supply closet that's dangerously close to the private area?" Funtime Foxy asked making Funtime Freddy realise what he was referring to.

"He's under lock and key now. Only our creator has that said key." Baby reminded them all.

"Why does he still allow him here? Why not deactivate him?" Ballora questioned.

"He can't be. He'll pulled out more than half of his own brain. Including his shut down processes are gone." Baby explained.

"And just why are we talking about that guy now? It's close to Christmas. Time to forget that and not talk about it." Aaron shook his head.

"Okay then!" Funtime Freddy nodded firmly, "I can look in the supply closet now!"

"Just take this with you." Baby advised him handing him something Aaron thought very inappropriate for a children's place.

A taser.

"Just don't shock yourself with that thing. It'll knock you out pretty quickly." Baby informed as he walked away with BonBon by his side.

"Why?" Aaron asked.

"If anything unwelcome jumps at him he can deactivate said thing." Baby gave a short description.

"Tell us more about Christmas. What is it like for everyone?" Bibybab asked.

"Christmas is just basically Presents, food, a tree, decorations, and family. Why the interest in it?"

"We've never had anything to state we are a family. Not even he provided that."

"You want me to teach you Christmas?" Aaron asked them all as they shook their heads.

So that was the first chapter of the best Christmas in the underground! Yes I will try to finish this story on or before the 24th of December because after that, I will be extremely busy with Christmas and on boxing day too. Let's just clear somethings up:

*Yes this story does follow the Good ending AU.

*The animatronics are humanised. They have skin and hair, they still have a few machine aspects however (Funtime Freddy still has his ears and hat, Funtime Foxy still has a tail.)

*Yes Funtime Foxy is a male is in the story.

*Ennard will come later. He didn't follow Aaron home, after Aaron survived, Ennard was locked away for his bad behaviour by their creator since he didn't have the heart to destroy/decommission him.

*Yes William Afton will be in this story.

*there will be small parts at the beginning of each chapter that is either a flashback to Circus Baby's relationship with Ennard or a look into the families (I mean Mike's family, Jeremy's Family, Fritz's and Felix's) and what they get up to on Christmas Eve.

*this story is set during the series, Margareta is only here because I want her in the story, but she will not appear in the actual Five Nights At Freddy's series for a while.

*Yes I know I said my propriety was the series. But I didn't want Christmas to pass without writing a story like I did last year! So the series will be updated before Christmas but I will focus on this until it is finished.
