Author's Note: Welcome dear reader to my first story, there's little to say for now but I do want to point out a few things.
1) Bonnie is a female in my story, I do know 'she' is in fact a 'he' in the game, as confirmed by Scott himself. Ever since the first game appeared, however, I had always thought Bonnie was female mainly because I assumed by name. This was later reinforced by other stories that portrayed Bonnie as a girl, which in turn, I liked better than the male version of Bonnie.
2) I am not using the idea of the children's souls possessing the body of the animatronics.
I really hope you will enjoy this story. Until next time, goodbye.
As the security guard of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, Mike sunk into his office chair, grabbed the tablet that rested on the desk in front of him and prepared himself for the night. This was a usual routine for Mike ever since he had been working at the once famous family pizzeria. Instinctively, Mike would scan the restaurant for the mascots that inhabited the building, and as expected Bonnie and Chica had already left. Freddy, who was still on his spot on stage, caught a glimpse of the red light signaling he was being watched. He gave the camera a friendly nod before heading into the dining hall where he often straightened the chairs if the janitor had overlooked some of the them or ran out of time to do so. If this was not the case, Mike would undoubtedly expect the bear to be in the backstage area organizing the mascot heads that decorated the room or simply sit down, absent-mindedly, staring off into the distance.
Meanwhile, Mike had easily found the other two animatronics, Chica was in the kitchen as the sounds of pots and pans not only filled the camera with audio but also echoed down the east hallway right into the security office. As for Bonnie, she was in the west hallway looking at the many drawings the kids had made of her and the others. Some were very old and others were quite recent.
Mike retracted back into his seat, leaned slightly, placed his hands behind his head and for a moment he closed his eyes, enjoying the little comfort it seemed to make, "You guys have been going easy lately."
And rightfully so, for the past few weeks Freddy and the gang had come to the realisation that Mike was not a naked endoskeleton needed to be put back into uniform. Instead, he was just like the staff during the day. Although, during the day when their programming took over, Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica could still observe their surroundings when performing. Unbeknownst to Mike, whenever he did visit during the day the animatronics were fully aware of the person they had seen each night. Bonnie and Chica were easily swayed by Mike, whether it was him complimenting whoever the person was that made the pizza he was served (which most of the time, turned out to be Chica's), or if Mike was trying to help the staff separate the kids whenever they got into squabbles. However, this usually ended with lots of pizza thrown towards him, but Mike couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of himself, which earned a few giggles from staff and parents alike. Sometimes, Mike would even talk to the girls when they were not performing, asking them, "How was your day?" or, "Do you ever get tired of singing those same songs each and everyday?" The couldn't reply but the small talk was enough for them and in turn he slightly brightened their mood. Freddy was an exception, he didn't really take notice of Mike after seeing his child-like antics, but once he saw and heard Mike talk to teens and adults visiting the pizzeria looking obviously depressed about something, he found himself respecting Mike for the care he had shown to everybody..
Unfortunately, as nice as he was, Freddy and the girls were always welcomed with locked doors whenever they did try to personally meet the man and thank him. They were always dismayed by this, but the gang understood his caution, he was human after all and would have most likely heard what had happened to the previous endoskeletons that mysteriously kept arriving in the office each night. However, Mike was different, he never got caught, for one, and would always show up the next night. The animatronics were also pleasantly surprised to notice that Mike would talk to them during the nights when they were behind the doors, saying things like, "Hey, you look different, is it because you got a new suit?" he chortled.
The furry friends enjoyed the fact that there was a lack of assumption that they were mindless machines.
As time seemed to wisp away, Mike was currently searching for Freddy and his friends while listing off their locations, "Alright, Freddy returned backstage - check. Bonnie is in the supply closet - check. And Chica is doing Lord knows what in the kitchen - check. Everything seems to be in orde…" Mike was stopped abruptly in mid-sentence as a shadowy figure appeared on the camera feed creeping around in the dining hall, the man in question seemed to be looking towards the stage for something… or someone?
Mike took a deep breath and blew the air out, "Well, looks like I may finally get the chance to do my job," he smirked, although reality dawned over Mike as he realised the condition he was in, "Not only do I have to protect you guys from him, but I also have to protect him from you all," Mike sighed, after all they were property of Fazbear Entertainment and have had a history of stuffing people into suits at night because the were 'out of uniform', "At least, there's finally something else to do."
With that, Mike reached for his hat that had the word 'SECURITY' emblazoned in a bright yellow fashion and placed it, while adjusting, to a comfy fit on his head, grabbed the flashlight that laid lazily on top of his desk and holstered it into his belt. Once he confirmed he was set and ready to go, Mike proceeded to sneak outside his safe room into the east hallway in attempts to avoid Bonnie and use the noise in the kitchen to his advantage to avoid Chica. Regardless of what he thought of the animatronics past or intentions, Mike couldn't help but feel responsible for them, he liked them, and he'll protect them.
