A Purple Generation
By Jared Ziemer
Chapter 1: Return
In a small neighborhood in Hurricane, Utah, it was quiet on the streets. The most noise that came from the neighborhood was the family restaurant: Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The kids were having fun as they ate pizza, played in the arcade, and finally watching the animatronics put on a show. Almost everyone was watching the animal-like animatronics play on stage, while one was busy outside, sitting on the bench as he looked up to the sky.
Red was just your ordinary boy just like any average boy. He didn't know his last name, and nobody really told that he knew of. He wore wired-frame glasses over ocean blue eyes, and had brown messy hair. He wore a blue jacket over a black shirt with two white stripes, and blue jeans with brown boots. He continued looking up to the sky, remembering that day.
He tried to stop seeing that event of his parents' death, but couldn't stop remembering how his mother pushed him out of the car at the last minute as an explosion was heard. He was pushed out by the blast as he landed on the hard road. He had gotten a cut on his right cheek as he looked at the crash site, seeing what was left of his parents, losing them at such a young age.
He wiped a tear from the memory as he felt where the cut was on his cheek. He was nine years old when he lost his parents. Three years passes since that tragic event. He was twelve now, and his birthday wasn't until five more days. He decided to go inside the restaurant to listen to the other children instead of remembering the memory.
When he went in, he saw the animatronics as they began to come down from their stage. Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica were walking around, smiling gently to the kids they were attending. Freddy was a brown bear animatronic with a black top hat and bowtie. He likes to sing a lot, gaining the children's attention. He was like everyone's "Papa Bear", telling them what they should do to be safe.
Bonnie is a purple bunny with a red bowtie. Bonnie is friendlier than Freddy, wanting to join the fun with others. He played guitar a lot, listening to the beauty of the music as it came into his ears. The kids liked how childish he was as he played. He always did have a childish laugh.
Chica is a big yellow chicken, even though people confuse her as a duck. She can be a bit tomboyish, but she also acts very motherly around the children. She likes to make sure the kids are safe, but are also having fun. She likes to sing along with Freddy and Bonnie with her cupcake (the cupcake is also an animatronic with eyes and buck-teeth). She can also be funny when she gets angry at times.
Red smiled as he saw the animatronics. He then frowned as he looked at the closed starry curtain on the left side of the dining stage with the sign that said, "Out of Order". Pirate's Cove, he thought as he remembered in a distant memory of the animatronic behind there. He remembered it being a pirate animatronic because of the accent he remembered it having.
"Ahoy there, landlubber," it said aloud in a booming voice, "are ye ready to go on an adventure?" Little Red smiled happily as he played with the animatronic, listening to the robot's stories of adventure.
Red chuckled at the memory of the animatronic.
"If only you worked today," he said in a sad manner. He walked away from the closed attraction and went over to the stage. He watched as the band stopped singing, gaining a cheer from everybody.
"Thank you everybody for staying to see us," Freddy said. He bowed down to the audience.
"You guys are really fun to play to," Bonnie said as he strummed a tune.
"It's also fun to serve you guys food too," Chica said. They all cheered again. The band then began to play again as the crowd quieted down. Red didn't stick around long as he went into the arcade. He wanted to play a game of Donkey Kong so he could try to beat the high score. He remembered when he went and couldn't figure out how to play the game.
"Don't sweat it, squirt," said his father, "you'll get it someday". He had black hair combed to the left, wearing a blue buttoned down shirt over black pants and brown shoes. He was smiling down at Red with green eyes as Red stopped pouting from the loss of Donkey Kong.
"Alright you two," said a feminine voice, "let's go home." Red's mom was a very neat woman. She had ocean blue eyes like red and long golden hair. She wore a pink shirt over a blue skirt, and wore high heels. She had the warmest smile on her face as she picked up Red. He laughed when she went in and gave Red a warm kiss on the cheek.
He put his hand to his cheek where he remembered the kiss being. A tear began to fall down his cheek. He decided to go and play a game, until he noticed a glimpse of yellow at the corner of his eye. He turned his head towards the prize counter, to where he saw a yellow bear plush sitting on the counter. He decided to go towards the prize counter, the noise quieting down in his mind as he entered the prize counter. He saw the eyes were empty with two white pinprick dots staring to the right of the room.
Red was curious as to why they were doing that. He turned his towards that direction, noticing two things: kids' drawings attached to the wall depicting the animatronics and the kids with them, and a giant present with a red bow on top. He was enticed by the giant present, being pulled towards by his feet, before he lost his train of thought to the sound of music coming from the counter. He looked to the counter to find a music box singing its melody. He felt happy from the melodious tune that was coming from it.
He began to feel sleepy from the soft tune that came from it. He noticed no one was there to watch it, so he decided to lay down next to the wall, where he could hear the song go on and on. His eyes began to grow heavy as he began to slip into dreamland again. Finally, his eyes went shut.
He was in a room with a closet and a single bed. He looked around, noticing a group of four plushies resembling the four mascots of Freddy's: Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and… Foxy. His head was torn off, making Red shed tears down his face. He then heard a loud laughter outside the room, and then heard crying come right behind him at the door. He turned around to see a child on the floor, crying two stream of tears down his face. He felt sorry for the little child.
"Tomorrow is another day." Said a deep voice. Red turned his attention away from the crying child, who did not turn his head towards the voice, and towards the plushie on the bed. He was shocked to see the same plushie on the prize counter on the bed, smiling. He felt a bit disturbed, but was still brave. Although, the fear was growing when he saw the pinprick eyes stare directly at him.
