A/N: This story is just something on doing with my free time available from other stories of mine still in progress, seeing this area developing quite well lately I didn't see why not to do one as well. After all...what really makes the game is the mysterious story behind it.

"Hey Jeremy, what you're doing here so early?Though you would start your first night shift only at midnight," A voice yelled from the stage towards a person who had just entered by the main doors.

The young boy, apparently in his early twenties, stared at the mechanic that was inspecting one of the animatronics.

"Hey Nick, good to see you still around, though you would be home already," Jeremy replied as he went towards his old friend.

"Yeah, me too. Extra complications managed to stuck me for a while, what about you?If there's someone who should be at home is you,"

"Sorry, I was kinda anxious, ya know?And I wanted to get to know the place better," He said nervously while looking around. This was the second job Jeremy had in his life, the first one being on a burger shop during last summer. The boy would look for temporary works to gain some extra money while being in the university.

It was almost 10:00 Pm. Most part of the staff working at Freddy's FazBear Pizzaria had already left. The only people in it at the moment were the mechanic and the respective manager.

"What you're working on Nick?" Jeremy asked while staring at the animatronics that were standing still over the main stage. Jeremy always found the animatronics to be rather funny, especially since they were using some sort of make-up to appear more feminine.

Nick was an old friend of Jeremy, the 28 years old mechanic actually lived on a house nearby Jeremy's house.

"Meh, just fixing and cleaning the mess those kids tend to do around, mondays are rather slow, the problem is that I don't tend to come at fridays or weekends to make any adjustments. Sometimes they treat the animatronics as if they were toys, they just give me the head shakes,"

"Speaking of fixing stuff..." Jeremy said slowly while looking at one of the posters that contained four animatronics on display. "...who's the person that fixes that other one in the back room?"

"Back room?" Nick seemed puzzled.

"Yeah, when I was talking with the manager he mentioned a broken animatronic they kept in there," Jeremy said while walking around checking every detail of the main lobby, the place has been cleaned up for the next day so nothing was out of place.

"Oh, you mean the fox?" Jeremy nodded. "Gez, they turned that thing into scrap pile, it just freaks me out a bit just to look at it. Whoever is the poor bastard that has to take care of it he probably gave up already. I don't blame him," Nick said while closing his tool box and jumping down from the stage.

"Why not?"

"Well, I don't know...if I heard right kids tend to be rather destructive with it for their own reasons, some people say the kids don't like the fox. Why?I have no idea, but since they keep breaking her th-

"Her?" Jeremy interrupted while letting out an ironic chuckle. Nick rolled his eyes.

"It's the way they were designed dude, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy were made girl-like. Didn't work with Freddy for obvious reasons, it only made him look...younger, don't you think?" Nick asked as they both stared at the animatronics at the stage. After a minute looking at them Jeremy slowly managed to agree with that.

"I guess so...what were you saying anyways?"

"Huh?Oh yeah...errr...I was saying that kids keep breaking the fox every time they fix it, so apparently the other mechanic gave up, or simply decided to not waste any more money on something that would keep getting beaten all over. It's really sad, I would go there and make her brand new if they let me, it would take only a day perhaps, but since I don't know what's the deal with it my job is to keep the other ones working fine,"

"Oh, that's cool. And how many animatronics do you take care of?" Jeremy asked before taking a seat over the edge of the stage. Nick had already gathered all his material and was setting off to leave.

"Around...four, but there's a total of ten animatronics. The are four more at the storage room that came from the previous location, and the Balloon Boy animatronic right at that corner of the lobby."

"Previous location?" Jeremy asked while frowning a bit. Nick shrugged.

"Well, I don't know much of the story behind Freddy's Fazbear. But he said to me that he had a previous restaurant with less animatronics than now. Can't tell you much about it, I don't really know for sure. Apparently the place didn't last much because of internal issues, whatever they are I don't know. One thing I know is that was interested on making the animatronics more kid-friendly."

"How is that?" Jeremy asked before noticing a man walking out from the main hall.

"You know, making them less physically...scary," Nick said before hearing footsteps nearby, he turned around to see reaching at them. "Ahn, Mr. Fazbear, it's good to see you,"

"Nick, how are you?It's good to have you around taking care of stuff!I was thinking with myself about calling you in to check on the animatronics, but seems you can anticipate my thoughts son, hehe. Very good, I can expect everything to be working fine?" He asked while shaking hands with the mechanic.

"Everything in order, except the fox," He said with a chuckle. seemed intrigued.

"The fox?But isn't the other mechanic that checks over it?"

"With all the honesty it seems the other guy doesn't show up to do anything for quite a while," Nick said with a touch of annoyance. Mr. Farbear nodded slightly.

"I see, but I'm really doubtful if it's worthy to keep the repairing over Foxy, kids keep ruining her every time we try,"

'Well, sir. I think it would be really sad to let that happen, you do know that it's a hell of a waste to let a single one of the new animatronics to become scrap metal. I know they were really expensive to get, and we already talked about those you keep at the storage room. Wouldn't be hard to improve them,"

"I know Nick, but I wouldn't have room for them, but I agree about Foxy. How much you would you ask to fix her?" Mr. Fazbear asked while staring anxiously at the mechanic.

"Meh, if your people do something to prevent it from getting damaged again I would just ask for half of what I ask from the others, what you think?" Nick replied while moving towards the back room. "In fact, I could start working on it right now,"

"Well, I guess that's reasonable, but now?Isn't a bit too late?" was clearly concerned.

"Heh, nothing to worry about. Guard right there will watch over my ass," Nick said pointing to Jeremy.

"Nigh...?" Mr. Fazbear looked around then took notice of Jeremy standing nearby. "Oh! You must be Jeremy!Welcome to Freddy's Fazbear Pizzeria! I wasn't expecting too see you this early son," Mr. Fazbear said while smiling widely and shaking Jeremy's hand rather enthusiastically.

"It's an honor sir," Jeremy said while trying to keep formal as possible. "I was looking forward to work here after we talked on phone,"

"Indeed. Oh, yes...I'm late right now, hum...your office it's at the end of the hall, just follow that way and turn left all way to the end. It's an open area so you'll see it with no trouble. And since Nick's gonna be around I guess I can count on you to have an eye on him," Mr. Fazbear said while staring firmly at Jeremy.

"I'll sir, you can count on it," Jeremy replied confidently.

"Excellent!I'm on my way now, oh. There's also a phone over your desk. You'll receive a call from the previous night guard that is working during day now, he will instruct you of how to proceed by the nights, see you all tomorrow!" Mr. Fazbear turned around and left on a hurry before Jeremy could question him about those instructions.

Jeremy looked around then at his watch.

10:34 Pm.

'Gez, still a lot till my shift. Gotta look around and see what Nick's doing' Jeremy though before turning around and moving towards the back room. Once he got by the door he saw Nick standing nearby a small table, there were tools spread all over the floor and also small spotlights to give him better illumination.

Over the table was probably the creepiest thing Jeremy ever saw.

The only part of that animatronic that was somewhat discernment was it's head, hands and a foot. The white fur and a single eye with golden iris, aside visible teeth, nose and long sharped ears, were the only things that came out of that mess of electronic endoskeleton. It was almost impossible to say were it's arms, legs, or tail were at. The spine was connected with what appear to be just more spines all together, and the worst was that at the edge of one of the arms there was a small eletronic head connected with a single eye on it.

"Gez, that's really bizarre!" Jeremy said while getting close and staring eye wide at it. Nick snorted.

"Those kids can be mean with toys if they want. This will take quite some time. I might fix the structure and get it to move naturally like it should, as an animatronic of course. The voice box is really messed up, doesn't even look like one. It's really weird. I won't be able to have it ready with the others, I'll have to finish the rest tomorrow. Plus I also gonna need to reset the programming, I don't think it would still be working properly after so many beats."

"What's the most difficult thing to repair when it comes to animatronics?" Jeremy asked out of curiosity. Nick took a while thinking over it.

"Many things, perhaps...the head, where it's core is located. Or I would say the CPU that contains the programming and recording softwares. It's a really advanced technology, which makes it quite a challenge. I wasn't hired just to connect wires or change lamps. I have study over this kind of thing. It's not really easy to find people that fully understand how to work over animatronics."

"So if you know so much over them you think you can make one for yourself?" Jeremy asked slightly impressed. Nick laughed a bit.

"Like I said to ...it's really expensive to have one of those, more because of their compounds. Making programming and stuff is easy, but the structure...it's a rare material that shouldn't be wasted. That's one of the reasons he keeps those old ones in the Parts & Service room."

"I guess...I'll leave and check my office, take care," Jeremy said before moving out. Nick nodded.

"You too, close the door after you leave okay?I'll wave you a goodbye at the camera," Nick said pointing to a specific higher corner of the room nearby Jeremy. The boy quickly looked up to see the security camera currently deactivated.

Jeremy slowly closed the door and made his way to the main hall. Right after he closed the door Jeremy took notice of a nearby attraction, he took few steps to check it. There was some sort of baby sleeping sound being played, he also saw few teddy bears and other small toys, also a huge box that reminded him of a christmas gift. With a shrug he left and went through the lobby checking quickly over the Ballon Boy animatronic, it clearly was designed to be a kid with colorful clothes and a wide happy smile, also there was something that reminded him of a small park attraction, though he didn't remember how it was called.

He finally made his way into the main hall. As he passed by he admired the several decorations for party the place had all over, all place set up for kids entertainment. The main hall would lead him to the secondary hall, two rooms to the right that were the bathrooms, and at the very end the closed door of the Parts & Service room.

Jeremy stopped briefly near the door, he stared to the left and saw at the very end of the secondary hall his office and the entrance for other two rooms he didn't know what they could be. He turned around and moved to his office.

You can't

"What?!" Jeremy spun his head around as he heard as if someone just whispered at him, a very cold and chilling whisper above all. He saw no one but he could sworn the sound came from the other side of the nearby door. He slowly stepped back to it and placed his left ear at the door of the Parts & Service room.

Nothing.

"Can't what?!" Jeremy yelled at the door while looking around. Nothing happened, he took a deep breath. Perhaps he was just hearing things, it was getting late anyways. He made his way to the office again quickly checking the party rooms along the way, but there was nothing interesting in them.

Once he finally reach the office he notice two things very particular in it. There were two huge air vents located at floor level, one at each side of the room. This was strange at the very least, normally such vents should be at the ceiling, not the floor, also the vents were completely open meaning that anyone could pass through them, but Jeremy had no idea were they would take to.

There were few old tvs alocatted at the corner aside the entrance and several posters and other party decorations around the walls. He reached over his desk. Two things quickly caught his attention. A mask and a rectangular metal thing he didn't recognized.

Once he caught it and opened the screen came to life to reveal the image of the three animatronics at the stage. Jeremy watched fascinated while the camera slowly went side to side to cover a larger area, and also he saw a mini map of the restaurant that also had the number of cameras available at certain areas. It seemed that every place had a camera, expect the bathrooms for obvious reasons.

Also there was a button wrote 'flashlight' in it. Not sure how to work with this screen he pressed it with his finger and the image of the animatronics was illuminated instantly with a incredible bright light coming from the camera.

'Wow, this is actually cool,'

There was a total of 12 cameras available. He quickly checked over each one, some rooms were too dark to see anything so he made use of the flashlight to have a better visual. Jeremy paused briefly once he connected with Parts & Service camera, with certain hesitation he activated the flashlight.

He stiffened when he saw the broken animatronics laying inside. The state of their structures was truly terrible. He saw an old purple thing without the left arm, face and several tears, also the head of what seemed a duck at the left corner and the head of a old bear laying on the floor looking at the camera lifelessly. Jeremy stared for few more seconds before moving to the other cameras.

The christmas box and the puppet toys he saw earlier were at something called Prize Corner, alos Jeremy was amazed that he could hear the same sounds from before, perhaps the cameras had enhanced audio on them. Also he stared curious that the display of this camera contained another button that said 'Wind Up Music Box, press and hold'. Jeremy frowned.

Does this mean he would have to keep that music playing the whole night?That sounded boring. Each camera had a reference to the place he was watching over. He connected to Kids Cove camera and saw Nick working over the broken foxy on the table. He flashed the camera making Nick jump. Jeremy laughed as Nick stared at him with an annoyed expression.

"Nice one kid, don't do that again," He said before turning back to his work. Jeremy checked the rest of the cameras before setting the device over the table. The young men slowly stared at the mask before checking the rest of the room.

It didn't took long for him to notice that both air vents had an small button over them that said 'light'. This made him wonder a bit, he pressed the one at the right of his desk and stared inside to see a huge empty conduct of metal leading somewhere to the left, which he assumed was directed to one of the party rooms.

Jeremy tried to imagine what was the purpose of such. To see if there were any kids in the vents hiding or something?But if that's the case why not seal those vents instead?

Trying to not ponder too much over such silly things Jeremy took another look on his watch.

11:39 pm

"Almost ready for my shift, oh well. This sure will be one exciting night, " He joked with himself before crossing his arms behind his head and closing the eyes feeling quite relaxed. Perhaps he would only need to check Nick from time to time and wind that music thing once a while.

This was too easy.

'Best summer job ever' Though Jeremy while smiling contently. It was minimum wage, but with such small effort to take it was well worthy. 'I can sneak around and look for the balcony to get something to eat'

Jeremy kept lost in his own thoughts before taking another look at his watch.

11:59 pm

"Oh well, here we go...I hope the other guard doesn't take forever to ca-

Before Jeremy could finish the phone rang. He stared at it dumbfounded.

12:00 pm

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nick was looking into his bag for another hardware to replace some fried ones the animatronic had. He managed to fix Foxy's head by replacing the other eye and fixing the jaw and the joints of the ears, also he replaced the head at the edge of one of the arms for another endo-hand to make it more natural. He wasn't sure what the extra head was for, he would look on the design of the animatronic another day to have a better idea. The legs and arms should be working properly now, but he still was having some issues with the voice box.

Before Nick could find what he was looking for a screeching noise made him frooze all of sudden.

"...,,,.brzzra..,,...,...t..,,,,...brzzzzz...,,,,...on...,,...zzzzzxx...,,,..."

The mechanic slowly stared back at the animatronic as the disturbing buzzing noise was coming out of it. He approached from it puzzled of why it was doing that since it was deactivated. He quickly grabbed one of his tools and searched for the origin of the sound, which was too much familiar to him after all. It was exactly like radio static and he had an experience dealing with such before, though he hardly could understand what was being said under so much interference.

"Why this thing has a goddamn radio into it after all?" He muttered with himself annoyed. It would be hard to work with such noisy thing during the night. He quickly spared a glance at it's head, what he saw made his blood turn to ice.

The eyes moved from their original position and now were staring at him, and to make it worse...they were glowing.
