The alarm clock blared loudly. I looked over at the alarm clock, half-asleep. It read 9:00 AM. Oh crap, I thought. I'm gonna be late! I threw some clothes on and ran out to my car. I shoved my key into the ignition, and started up the car. I was supposed to be there at 9:30, so I had to hurry. I started driving, and hurried to get to Freddy's on time.

As I drove, I thought about what would happen at my new job. I really needed this job because I had no other way to pay my rent. Apparently, I was replacing some guy named Mike Schmidt. I was informed he died, but the people at Freddy's never explained how. So, I just shrugged it off and didn't think about it. I wonder how much this job will pay...hopefully enough to let me pay rent. I can't get kicked out again. I thought as parked my car in the parking lot.

The manager waited in front of the door, staring at me closely. I exited the car and waved at him, smiling. "Hi!" I said. "I'm Diane Walsch." I stuck out my hand.

"Pleasure to meet you. I'm the manager here at Freddy's." He replied. He shook my hand firmly, and invited me inside.

I marveled at what lie in front of me. Many tables with plates full of pizza lay in front of me. Kids screaming and laughing ran around me happily. A stage stood up in front of it all. On the stage were three different animatronics. The first was a yellow bird-looking animatronic. It had a big plump head and a bib wrapped around its neck that said "Let's Eat!", and a pink cupcake with blue frosting. It had hard purple eyes that stared directly ahead, almost blankly. "That's Chica." The manager pointed.

The second animatronic was a purple bunny. It had large ears and a wide grin. Red eyes glimmered on his head, representing a very demonic look. He smiled at the children that ran past him. "That's Bonnie." The manager pointed again.

The third animatronic was a big brown bear. It had large ears and a top hat atop its head. It held a microphone in its hand, singing. It had soft blue eyes that stared among the crowd, acting as if it were a real singer. "Of course, that's Freddy, our mascot here." The manager gestured at the animatronic. "You probably have had some connection with these animatronics before. You did mention that you used to come here as a child?" The manager turned towards me.

"Oh yea. Every Saturday, I'd come here. Freddy's always been my favorite. This place was my favorite as a child." I smiled.

"That's wonderful to hear. We really find it great when people enjoy their stay here at Freddy's. That's all we want here, to make sure people have a good time when they come here." The manager stared into nothingness. "I'm afraid this place has changed a lot over time, though."

"Oh." I responded simply. The situation was pretty awkward. And then I remembered, "Hey, didn't there used to be four animatronics?"

"Oh yea, ol' Foxy had to be stored away. He's over in Pirate's Cove. Ever since the Bite Of 1987, we've had to keep poor ol' Foxy in there to keep the children safe. It was bad for business to keep him up there. We were afraid he might bite another child. We had to close the place for a while to get everything back in good shape and order. We even remodeled the place a bit, just to give the children something new."

"What's the Bite of 1987?" I asked. I'd never heard of it before. I" remembered when you guys closed for a bit, but I thought that was just to do the remodeling."

"Oh, I'm afraid not. Foxy actually bit a kid once. We had no idea why, but we had to get rid of him. We couldn't keep out on stage after that. It would just leave us with a bad reputation, and bad business. But, that was back in 1987. Ever since then, once we reopened, business has been booming." The manager smiled.

"That's good." I smiled back.

"But, setting that aside, I'll show you to your office." He gestured me forward and we walked towards what would be my office. Tons of happy, screaming children ran past us, playing tag and marveling at the animatronics on stage, or talking to their parents. Posters hung on the wall showing the three animatronics. We passed by Pirate's Cove. On the purple curtains lay a sign that said "Out of Order". No children were near the place, and the curtains concealed Foxy from everyone.

We arrived at the office. On the sides were two metal doors, and two buttons on the inside walls that sat next to them. A desk with a corded phone, a fan, and a tablet sat against the wall. "What're the buttons for?" I asked.

"The top buttons close the doors to prevent anyone from getting in, and the bottom buttons turn on the lights in the hall." He demonstrated by pushing the buttons.

"Okay. And what about the tablet?" I gestured towards the device.

"The tablet is for watching over the place. All over, there are security cameras. They all connect to this device, which you will use to watch over the place at night. That's all you have to do, really. Just watch over the place with the cameras on the tablet."

"Seems easy enough." I sighed as I continued to look around my new office.

"Oh, and one more thing. To save money, we make power limited at night. So, you have a certain amount of power. Don't shut the doors or keep the lights on for too long, or the power will go out, and you will have to wait until morning to turn it back on." He informed me.

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind." I said as I sat down on the desk chair.

"Alright. Good luck with the job, Diane." The manager said as he exited the room.

"Thanks," I muttered as I waited for 12:00 to roll around. I walked around the place, just watching the kids run around and have fun with one another.

~Time Skip~

It was about 11:45 PM, and all the kids and parents had gone home. I stood in front of the stage and stared at the animatronics. Freddy's was empty, except for me and the characters on stage. They looked kind of creepy to be honest, much creepier than I had expected. "You guys sure have changed since I was last here." I muttered. I checked the clock. 11:50 PM. "Guess I'd better get to work." I walked over to my office.

I waited around and fooled with the tablet at the office, just observing the different rooms at Freddy's. I could see the animatronics on stage, staring into the distance. Their faces sure were creepy.

I checked the clock again. 11:59 PM. Almost time for my shift to start. I took one last look at the animatronics on stage, and then the clock struck 12:00. "This is gonna be a really long night." I muttered as the shift began.
