Alexandra rolled her eyes at her friend. "Come on," She shoved Danielle's shoulder with her hand and eyed her spookily, "Don't you at least want to try two weeks there?" She put on her best eerie voice. Danielle rolled her eyes and sat back in her chair. "Hah, as if." She muttered, sipping her smoothie. "Okay, tough sell, tough sell. A week?" Alex queried innocently.
Danielle glared at her, "Lex!" She snapped. Alex threw her hands up defensively, "Alrightalrightalright… How about… Five nights? Five nights at Freddy's? Does that sound good?" She raised a brow. Danielle was silent for a moment before rolling her eyes. "You're so cheesy." She mumbled.
"AAAY, there it is." Alex winked. "I better get going then, I don't want to be late for my new job," Alex winked and stood up. Danielle rolled her eyes, "Aren't you a night guard? It's only, like, 9:00." She pulled back her black and blonde-dipped hair. "Yeah, but… I have to get the uniform and stuff." Alexandra said, looking at her feet in shame. "Leeeeexxx." Danielle shook her head playfully and clicked her tongue.
Alexandra shrugged, "Really though, Freddy's Pizzeria is so far from my apartment. I need to get going soon." Alex grabbed her bag and car keys.
"Alex, wait." Danielle stood up and grabbed her arm. "I want to go with you." She stated seriously. Alexandra's eyes widened in surprise. "Dani—You don't even have an appl-" Alex started before Danielle cut her off, "Don't give me that excuse! I want to be there with you. If you're taking a shit job then I'm taking a shit job, too." She rose her chin up slightly. Alex rolled her eyes, "Get in the car. I'll drive."
"Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, ladies," A man with a short haircut smiled warmly to the two girls, though his eyes twinkled ominously, as if he'd just seen a ghost. Alex tugged down her uniform shirt, a lightly stained shirt that had a picture of a lightly faded pizza on it, and within that picture was a picture of a bear wearing a top hat, and underneath was the logo. Danielle adjusted her cap, which was navy and cream and read "NIGHT GUARD" in thick yellow print. Though the uniforms they both wore were a bit odd and reeked of grease, they wore them anyway. "Let me give you the tour. I'm Mike Schmidt, and I'll be your, say, 'tour guide'." He laughed lightly.
Alexandra and Danielle followed him, and gave each other an awkward glance. "This is the show stage!" He said cheerily. The bouncy voiced was clearly forced. "As you can see, there's Bonnie-" he pointed to a faded fuchsia rabbit. "-Chica-" Mike demonstrated a bright canary-yellow chick, "-And of course the main attraction, Freddy Fazbear," Mike smiled at a tan bear. Danielle and Alexandra simultaneously looked down at their shirts and at the image of the animatronic bear, which made sense now. "Come along." Mike walked forward, not taking his emerald eyes off of the animatronics.
"Weren't you fired from here not too long ago?" Danielle asked, breaking the silence as they walked into the kitchen. Alex gave her a look and elbowed her side. Danielle winced and rolled her eyes, but Mike simply smiled and stopped in the middle of the kitchen.
"I was, but there were no other night guards who had strong enough will to get the job done, so they called me back." He looked away. "Besides, this place and I… we've gotten.. close." He murmured, and snapped back into reality. "Anyways, enough of the boring stuff. This is the kitchen, clearly. Our specialty, pizza, is always made fresh in here-" He winked, "-Or so we say, and this is also where one of the cameras is disabled, so be careful, okay?" Mike nodded, and turned on his heel, walking out before giving them time to react. "The hell does he mean 'be careful'?" Alex muttered underneath her breath, and they both followed.
After a long journey throughout the surprisingly large kid's eatery, they stopped in the night guards' office. "This is your office," Mike nodded, handing them both small tablets. "These are used to switch around the cameras and check out what's going on. But use them wisely, because you only have limited power." Danielle and Alexandra took the tablets curiously. "Only use these doors when you have to. The lights, too." He motioned to two hydraulic steel doors that could be activated at the push of a button, that had two pale buttons beneath them. Alex guessed those were for the lights. "There's a message left from.. from one of my colleagues already set up on that phone. Listen to it well, OK? And call me if you need to, my number's attached to the phone. I'm a night owl, so I'll usually pick up." He smiled. "Any questions?"
Danielle raised her hand a bit. "Yeah, uhm, what's up with those doors?" She nodded her head to the steel doors. Mike shrugged. "Things get a bit crazy around here at night; you'll see. Just try to be friendly. You should be fine." Mike smiled quickly, and glanced at his watch. "11:57, that's my cue. See you at 6, girls." He bowed his head a little, grabbed his coat and left without giving them a chance to react.
"What… the… actual.. Heck…" Danielle said slowly. Alex rolled her eyes, "Oh, don't be so over dramatic, Dani. Let's just get this over with." She sighed, sitting down in a spinning office chair and sitting on the seat closest to the left, while Danielle sat near the right. "This is gonna be so easy," Alex yawned.

Alex's eyes snapped open at the sound of a voice on the phone. "Hello? Hello? Uh..I wanted to record a message for you. To help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you, there's nothing to worry about. Uh...you'll do fine. So let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?"
Alex rolled her eyes. "Clearly, this is old, Mike was right. Come on Dani, let's pay attention." She sat up in her chair, and tapped through the tablet screen. Nothing happening yet. She closed the screen and listened more closely to the old prerecorded message.
"Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. I-It's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, 'Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering the damage or death of occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced.'"
Alex froze. That's strange. She thought, and shook it off without another thought, and stared off at the numerous pictures and posters pinned to the wall boredly.
"Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night. But do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for 20 years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay."
Alex froze, and her eyes widened. Quirky? The hell does that mean?! Her heart raced. This was a prank, it had to be. Mike set them up, no wonder he was acting so strange. It was something they pinned on the new guys. She relaxed, though a part of her was not entirely convinced. Mike was an idiot.
"So just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh... Something about their servers locking up if they get turned off for too long. They used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was the bite of '87. Yeah... It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?"
Alex shuddered and rolled her eyes. Now this prank was getting out of hand. Danielle was focused on her own tablet screen intently.
"Now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters... if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll most likely see you as a metal endo-skeleton without its costume on. Now since that's 'against the rules' here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside of Freddy Fazbear's suit. Um, now that wouldn't be so bad. That is, if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So you could imagine why having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of... discomfort... and death. Uh...the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask."
Alexandra gagged slightly at that. "Oh, God. I'm quitting this job after I get my pay. This is the most disgusting thing.." She trailed off, sitting back with a scowl on her face.
"Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night."
"Yeah, good fucking riddance." Alexandra scowled. They were so immature.

Alexandra was spinning around in her chair. "UGH. I'm so fucking bored." She groaned. "Yeah, well, who signed up for it?" Danielle rolled her eyes, and opened her laptop screen. Suddenly she made an odd noise, and her hand flew over her mouth, muffling it. Alexandra's attention snapped to her and she quickly rolled over, "What? What do you see?" Danielle pointed a shaky finger to the screen. The show stage, which usually had the typical 3 animatronics on it, was missing one. The bunny was missing.

Alexandra was trembling. Okay, so they weren't kidding. That's cool. Maybe the animatronics were friendly. The bunny had moved, and so had the bear. "Lex!" Danielle shouted suddenly, her voice hoarse with fear. Alex jumped, "What? What?" She demanded. "Y-Your…" She choked out. "Your door! Flash the lights! FLASH THEM!" Danielle shouted hoarsely, her eyes filling with tears. Alex nodded, her eyes wide, and she slammed the white button.
Alex let out a horrible scream when the face of the faded purple animatronic flashed within that light for nearly half a second. It was backed against the wall in the hallway, standing, waiting. It was so horribly close. She jumped up, grabbed Danielle, and pulled her back, screaming and crying. "The door! The door!" Danielle cried. Alexandra dashed forward and slammed the button.
No response.
She slammed it with her fist several times. "God, no, please," She begged, her eyes forcing back tears. "Nonono, no, no!" Alexandra's voice tone elevated quickly. "Please!" She screamed. Danielle started crying and screaming, "God help us!" "Quiet, Dani, I'm working on it!" Alex shouted, a lump rising in her throat. She backed away from the door after hearing a soft, dark laugh emit from outside of it. It seemed close. Breathing heavily, she took her chances and flashed the light.
Nothing. The hallway was bare. Alex attempted the door again, and this time the hydraulics sent it flying down shut. Danielle whimpered in fear, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Not today. Not to-fucking-day." Alex muttered, wiping her eyes, trembling violently. She let out a terrified, sharp breath. It was over. She glanced at the time on her tablet.
It was only 2:16 A.M., and she still had 4 hours to deal with this monsters. She grabbed the phone, and dialed Mike's number.
Not long after dialing, she heard his hoarse voice over the shitty phone line. "Hey, how's it going? You met my friends yet?" Alexandra practically heard his smirk over the receiver. "YOU LITTLE SHIT!" She yelled into the phone. She couldn't help it; she was damn straight pissed. "You didn't tell us they were fucking alive!"
"Oh, but didn't my old colleague?" He queried. "Yeah, I thought you were kidding!" Alex snarled into the phone. "They literally are trying to kill us!?" Her tone of voice almost instantly changed from rage to fear. "Oh, um, yeah. They might. If they catch you, try reasoning with them. Be friendly. Offer Chica pizza, she loves pizza." He laughed into the phone.
"How the hell are you laughing? We're—" she coughed. The terror of it all was really getting to her. "—We're gonna die here!" She finished. "Oh, don't be silly. They're friendly if you just build up trust." Mike said coolly and calmly. "Very helpful." Alexandra spat, and slammed the phone down. "Well.." Danielle choked out. "Now what?"
Alexandra breathed heavily, with her eyebrows raised. "We wait until 6 A.M. That's all we can do."
4:50 A.M.
29% Power
Sweat trickled down Alexandra's head ominously. She and Danielle only had barely an hour left, but she was still scared shitless. Both doors were down, and Danielle was watching her tablet closely. The power was draining, fast.
Alex decided against her previous thoughts and grabbed the phone, dialing Mike's number. "Hey, you're still okay!" he chirped. "Um, Mike," She mumbled. "Do you have… any advice for us? We just… We really need to hear someone's voice." Alex felt her face go hot and her lip trembled. Both Danielle and Alex wanted to cry, just being stuck there like cornered mice.
"Aw, of course." His tone softened. "Remember to check Pirate Cove often, because Foxy usually comes out to see new visitors on the first night. He's pretty quick, so watch out." As he spoke, she turned on her own tablet and checked the Pirate Cove cam. The faded purple, starry curtains were shut closed. "It's okay; both of the office doors are closed even if he decides to come out."
"What?" Mike exclaimed in surprise. "Nononono! Whatever you do, CONSERVE YOUR POWER. You don't wanna know what happens if your power runs out. If you absolutely need to, only keep the right door closed; keep an eye on the halls, though." Mike demanded through the phone. She gulped, and shuddered, "O-Okay." And hesitantly pressed the button, and flashed the lights almost exactly after. Nothing was there.
"Okay, um, how much power do you have?" He murmured. "Um, 29%." Alex replied, her body trembling lightly. With that door opened, she felt so bare and so out in the open. "Do you know where the animatronics are located?" He said hurriedly. "Um, the duck-"
"Chick. Be careful by the way-Sometimes she can shut off your power."
"Yeah duck, chicken, whatever, is near the men's restrooms. The bunny is-" Alexandra swallowed nervously. "I- I don't know where it is." "Flash your lights," Mike said, a hint of genuine worry in his voice. She did as he ordered. Danielle whimpered lightly and held her breath, hiding behind her tablet; She had a bad habit of doing things like that.
The hallway was empty. "He's not there." Alex relaxed slightly. Just slightly. "Okay, good." Mike sighed in relief. "He's in the kitchen, then. Okay. How's Pirate Cove doing?" He seemed to relax as well, just much more than Danielle and Alex did. Danielle opened her tablet screen, and dropped her tablet, her hand flying over her mouth. "God, no!" She said in a muffled voice, and her face went pale.
Alexandra's eyes widened and she checked her tablet screen. The curtains were wide open, and something was leaning out, its eyes glimmering in a taunting manner. "What?! What?!" Mike demanded. "The fox! He's out!" Alex shouted, the tears coming back to make another appearance. "Is he running yet?!" He shouted, and that's when Alex and Danielle looked at each other, their eyes widened and welling with horror. Terror.
Alex opened the hall camera, and Danielle looked at Pirate Cove. Letting out a bloodcurdling scream followed by a "CLOSE THE DOOR!" Danielle started sobbing uncontrollably. Alex started crying as well and slammed the door shut, and they both shrieked in a horror they have never experienced when something slammed against the door. Suddenly a maroon fox animatronic appeared in the office window, and it seemed to snarl. Alex froze, the tears streaming down her face threatening not to stop and her body trembled even more when she heard it speak.
"Ar, lassies, t'aint here to hurt ya! We're here t' make ya part of the family, y'old fleshbags!"
The phone line went dead as the whole building went dark, and nothing but Danielle's sobs and a dark laugh echoed throughout the building. One more was added, and another. "Nice job, Chica." The girls heard another final voice, and suddenly the room didn't feel so empty anymore.
