Starlet smiles towards the camera a mother holds, snapping a picture of a little boy in Starlet's arms. "Cheese!" the boy chirps. CLICK. Starlet smiles and sets the boy down. "Bye Starlet!" he calls. "Bye!" she calls back. The pair walks off towards the couches to sit. "Um, Starlet," Jackie says. She turns to see her Chocolate Lab, animatronic, friend walk up to her. "It's time to perform." Starlet's eyes widen in realization and she grabs Jackie's paw and rushes towards the makeshift stage.
Katlin, a gray cat animatronic, is already up there adjusting her headset microphone. Jackie and Starlet snatch their headsets up and attach them quickly. "Ready?" Katlin asks. The two nod together in unison. Their music begins to play and the restaurant's shouts of excitement died down. Jackie hums the melody with Starlet while Katlin starts singing the song.
"Ooo
Sitting on the rooftops
Singing our song
Listen to the birds
As our tunes merge."
Jackie sings now, her voice slightly wavering, but it was hard to tell.
"Looking out the window
Strumming our song
Listen to our pitch
Soft as a kiss."
Finally Starlet joins in.
"Roaming through the forest
Humming the chorus
Listen to our melody,
Melody, yeah."
The costumers begin swaying to the music as they continue.
"Listen to the beat
Sounds so sweet
You can't deny
You want to stop by
So take my hand
Dance to the rhythm
Don't go slow
(No no no, oh)
Stomp your feet
to the beat
Throw your hands
Up in the sky
Way up high
(oh)
Sitting on the rooftops
Singing our song
Listen to the birds
As our tunes merge
Looking out the window
Strumming our song
Listen to our pitch
Soft as a kiss
Roaming through the forest
Humming the chorus
Listen to our melody
Melody
(ooo)
Listen to our melody
Melody, melody
Ooo."
The customers did a standing ovation. Whoops and hollers echoed off the restaurant's walls. Katlin clapped her paws together excitedly, "They liked it!" "Liked it? They loved it!" Starlet exclaims. All three of them bow deeply and walk off stage to continue with their jobs.
Jackie collapses in one of the white couches in the comfy area, "Oh I'm exhausted." "Hah, you said it. I think I pulled a wire or something," Katlin complains. Starlet comes out from the kitchen and leans on a wooden chair sighing deeply.
"Great job on the song girls! It was a big success!" Mr. Robertson, the owner of the establishment, chirped. "Thank you Mr. Robertson," Jackie smiles, hiding part of her face behind her hair. "Keep up the good work; oh and make sure to lock up," He calls over his shoulder as he walks out the front doors. Starlet goes to the door and bolts it shut and closes the blinds. "What now?" Katlin asks. The three stay still for a few seconds thinking of what else they could do for the night. "A movie marathon? I mean…if you want to." Jackie suggests, shyly. "Sounds good to me," Starlet smiles. Katlin nods her head.
The three girls stayed up all night laughing, telling stories, but barely watching the TV screen. "So I said, 'Live with it, I do!'" Katlin exclaims laughing. They all snicker when they hear the clock strike 6 A.M. Starlet stands up and stretches her back, "Well another day, another dollar." "What dollar, we do this for fun!" Katlin laughs. "Funny," Starlet smirks. Jackie points to the chairs up on the tables, "I'll get the chairs down."
"I call the kitchen! Free food!" Katlin shouts rushing to the kitchen door. Starlet and Jackie giggle at her. Starlet starts setting the tables after Jackie finished putting the chairs down.
Finally they were done. "What time is it?" Katlin asks. "Uh 6: 58," Jackie tells her, "Mr. Robertson should be here anytime soon." "So are we going to sing the same song as yesterday or?" Starlet asks. "Well Mr. Robertson said it was a big hit yesterday, so we'll probably be singing it." Katlin concurs. Just then they heard the sound of keys turning inside of the door's lock. The door opens and Mr. Robertson walks in, a slightly grim expression on his face.
"Is anything wrong Sir?" Katlin asks. He looks up at the three of them. "It appears we're having some money problems, we don't have enough funds to pay off our debt. The only way we'll get the money, is if I rent one of you to another restaurant." "What?!" The three exclaim. Mr. Robertson nods grimly. "I'm afraid so. I don't like it either girls, but it'd only be for a month, and then I should have enough money to get the county off my back."
All three of them gather closer together, holding on to one another. "Who…Who's going to be the one to leave?" Jackie asks, a little choked up. He scratches his chin. "Well, I'm afraid it's Starlet. Since she's a rare animatronic that is. She wasn't based off real life animals such as you two were. She's like a mix breed, an older model design. " Starlet lets her slim rabbit like ears lay down against her head as she stared gloomily at the floor.
"The new Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria is interested in you. Of course I told them I'll see what I can do. They want you there at their restaurant by 7:30 and it's halfway across town...It's up to you Starlet," Mr. Robertson says. "…If it keeps our business alive, I'll do it. For us." Starlet says, looking over at her two friends. They cling to her tightly. "We'll miss you so much Star." Jackie sobbed. "Take care, you hear?" Katlin cries. Starlet gives them both a big hug. "Hey it's only a month, it'll fly by before you know it," she says, trying to convince them as well as herself. Mr. Robertson holds the door open for her, gesturing they needed to leave. Starlet gives them one last hug then follows her boss out the door.
Waitresses and Waiters busily wiped down the counters and swept the floor. Today was the grand opening of the new improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. Everything had to be perfect. Scott Cawthon directed people as they rushed around the diner fixing everything the way he wanted it. The new improved animatronics were functioning correctly, and the music box was wound tight for the Marionette. All that could make this better was the new animatronic Robertson promised him. "Mr. Cawthon. Jeremy Fitzgerald is here with Mike Schmidt." A waiter said to him. "Brilliant, tell them to meet me in my office!"
Mike and Jeremy sat in front of Scott's giant desk. It gleamed with wood polish and smelled of pine. "Mike! It's good to see you again." Scott began. "I'm not so sure the feeling's mutual." Mike said in a sarcastic tone. Scott frowned but turned to Jeremy, "Mr. Fitzgerald, I'm sure you could handle this job on your own, but Mike has more…experience with animatronics than you do, and I just want to be sure everything goes smoothly."
Jeremy glances over at Mike nervously. Mike just looks him over before directing his attention towards Scott. "Now today is our grand opening and I need you two to stay on the ball and-" A knock on the office door cut him off. "Come in." Scott said. The door opened, and in walks Mr. Robertson and Starlet. Mike immediately jumped up, eyes wide at the animatronic. He hated animatronics, and one in a small office this close to him did not suit him very well.
His quick reaction startled Starlet and she stared at him confused like. They had somewhat of a staring contest, but it only lasted a few milliseconds. "Mr. Schmidt, it is just an animatronic, now please sit down." Scott said rather annoyed at his paranoia. Starlet looked at Scott rather indignantly for saying she was just an animatronic. Mr. Robertson seemed to read her mind. "I assure you she's more than bolts and screws Mr. Cawthon." "That may be true, but Mike here, has a…phobia of robots."
Mike glares at Scott, only making Scott smile in humor. "Now how much is the rent?" "It's 970 a month." "I see so I'll give you 1,140 now, that should cover it," Scott mumbles reaching for his wallet. Starlet's ears shoot straight up. "1,140? You told me I'd only be away for a month, tops!" She looks expectantly at Mr. Robertson. "Um-er, well…" Starlet frowns, letting her ears lay flat against her head. "I see." "She can do math. Quite impressive. Tell me dear, what's 52 times 16?" Scott questioned, obviously fascinated.
Jeremy started to do the math in his head from force of habit from high school. Mike rolled his eyes at him. "832." Starlet said without an expression. Scott nods in approval. "Correct. Here you are Mr. Robertson, 1,140 dollars." Mr. Robertson takes it and turns towards Starlet awkwardly. "I'll…tell the girls…See you in two months." Starlet doesn't look at him nor speak goodbye.
Once the door shut she looked over at Mike and Jeremy. Jeremy smiled pleasantly up at her. She smiled back weakly. Scott clapped his hands loudly together. "Alright! Now, Mike and Jeremy, I'm counting on you to keep this place safe. And to prove to me you're worthy, or still worthy to have this job, you'll be taking over the day shift today." "What?!" Mike exclaims. Scott smiles happily to himself. "That is all, you three are dismissed."
Mike grumbled to himself as he walked out. He felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned expecting to see Jeremy, but saw Starlet instead. He jumped back a little at her being too close. She raised an eyebrow at him. He cleared his throat awkwardly. "Do you know where I need to be?" She asked. "Heck, how would I know. I ain't no animatronic." She looks at him indignantly, then stated, "No need to be jealous. I understand you wish you were one of us." She walks off towards the kitchen.
Mike tries to think of a comeback, but ends up stuttering nonsense trying to think of one. He hears Jeremy snickering at him. "Eh, shut up." He growls
