Finally! A job!
So uh this is a little weird… Anyway, this fanfiction is a re write of another fanfiction called Five Miraculous Nights at Freddy's which was written by Dark Zoider and Queen Mab the Second. I really wanted to finish what they started so I'll give it my best shot (High chance it will come out rather crappy, eh still worth a try)
Horns tooting, people chattering, shoes clattering, ah, the usual sounds heard all over the peaceful New York City home to some of the most unique people. A rockstar with a pet crocodile, a famous celebrity teen and the rich well known mayor, still a normal city right? Well, if you live there you would know that isn't the case, two normal teenagers with a secret hero identity, one villain obsessed with them and a city that attracts more strangeness than any other. Today was no different
Amongst the crowded street, two girls stood out from the rest. Standing to the side in front of a gate, one looked like noodles left in water too long while the other was like a sugar cube hyper with energy
'Hey! Come on girl, cheer up!'
The sugar cube girl fist pumped the air energetically, her brown curly hair bounced on her shoulders
'We'll find a job for you somewhere'
Alya stood in front of the soggy noodle girl, her blue hair was tide back into two separate back pony tails, she was partly huddled up arms folded in front of her as she stared down at the floor miserably. Alya sighed placing her hands on her friend's shoulders, her determined greenish brown eyes gazed into the two sorrowful eyes
'Everything will be fine'
The girl's eyes averted to look up at Alya processing the other's words, she nodded groggily still feeling disheartened from earlier
'It's just… This is the fourth time this week! And the last two weeks were the exact same…'
Feeling the remaining energy drained from her body, she slumped over wishing the ground would open a black hole to swallow her up. Alya held on slightly tighter
'Come on Marinette, just because you didn't get the job doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Plus! They don't even know how hard working you are! They never deserved you anyway!'
Alya soothed slowly let go of Marinette's shoulders then went pushing them back her to straighten up. Marinette gave a weary smile, her eyes still saddened. Alya gave a large gentle smile as she leaned in to give her soggy noodle friend a much needed hug
'You'll be fine. Just stay out of trouble okay girl?'
Marinette re positioned herself giving Alya a hug, a moment later they pulled away. Trying to give her usual cheerful smile didn't succeed though, the thoughts of another failed attempt got to her. She took a deep breath and gave out a defeated sigh
'I will Alya, don't worry'
Her voice came out distant, hollow and still lacking her happy attitude. Alya put a hand on her hip then turning on her heels she headed home, from the distance she turned around waving her arms in the air
'Smile girl! Smile!'
Marinette finally smiled again then waved a small goodbye. Something rustled next to her
'Ow come on Marinette, you're making me feel sluggish too'
From within Marinette's bag, a small red ladybug creature popped it's head out. She rubbed her large blue eyes while tilting her head to one side looking up at the other partly asleep. Marinette giggled looking down at her little friend
'I got to ask Marinette, why are you so desperate for a job'
Tikki asked curiously, Marinette clenched her teeth tightly trying to keep a cheerful smile but let out a heavy sigh. Her arms flopped to her side, her head lowering in defeat
'Well you see I-'
She stopped abruptly, some people walked passed her completely oblivious of her existence while a few stared for a moment then continued along their way. Like a ton of bricks it hit her, she was out in the open talking to a mythical being hidden away in her bag
'I'm outside! I must look like I'm totally insane! Uh…'
Her eyes widened in shock as her body went rigged, in a panic, she pushed Tikki back into her bag hiding her away from the world
'Shh! Hide Tikki!'
The little red creature tumbled back into the bag complaining, her little hands reaching out for something to hold onto before falling
'H-Hey!'
Through clenched teeth Marinette whispered an apology
'S-Sorry'
Marinette took ahold of her bag tugging it closely to her chest, luckily for her, no one had noticed or seen Tikki. She ran down the street heading towards her home, Tom and Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie. She reached out for the door taking ahold of the handle then pulling it open and stumbled inside
SMASH!
The door smashing caught the attention of her parents who were both standing behind the counter talking. They turned to face their daughter that was standing pressed against the front door smiling awkwardly
'Marinette? Are you alright?'
Sabine eyed her daughter worriedly, Tom went to stand next to her. Marinette put he hands up in defence and began flailing her arms everywhere
'W-Well you see! Ah'
Sabine and Tom looked at each other stunned and confused, they looked back at Marinette wordlessly
'Everything is, uh, fine!'
Her voice spiked in pitch as her nervousness increased, she rubbed the back of her neck then straightened up looking both her parents in the eyes, swallowing down her nerves, she smiled awkwardly again
'This isn't going to work'
She kept repeating in her mind as she shuffled awkwardly towards the stairway, her father cleared his voice. He passed a hand through his hair
'Well, if everything is fine… Then… Uh…'
His throat felt dry, his mind desperately looking for something to say, Marinette pointed up to her room
'So… I'll just get going… To my room?'
Marinette shrugged her parent's gaze still planted on her, both silently nodded completely dazzled by the strange display. Marinette rushed up stairs, closed the hatch behind her then slid out her chair to plummet into it's comforting cushion. Placing down her bag, Tikki flew out gradually as she checked her surroundings.
'UGHH!'
Marinette placed her hands over her face, life was hard enough being Ladybug, she didn't need more issues weighing her down. Being Ladybug could be considered a job but for her, it was a gift, one she would not abuse of especially using it to get something out of the people. Tikki tilted her head sighing silently flying over and sat down in front of Marinette
'So, are you going to tell me why your being so sulky?'
Tikki crossed her arms, blue eyes looked up lazily, she leaned back
'I need more money so I can buy some fabric and utensils for my newest fashion designs Tikki. I can't find even one job ugh'
Letting her body fall heavy on the desk, she looked back over to Tikki
'Plus, we're in summer vacation!'
She dramatically flailed her arms pointing in every direction
'I want to make specially designed suit for Adrian! I was hoping to put it in by the beginning of class so that Mr - could see it'
She flopped back down onto the desk frowning. Tikki got up flying over to place a hand on Marinette arm
'Marinette, listen to yourself! This isn't you!'
She spoke with a firm resolve
'You just have to keep searching, sooner or later something is going to show up'
Tikki smiled, Marinette did the same feeling all her worries slowly melting away
'You never let me down'
Down below on the footpath, a lone piece of newspaper, trampled and all, caught a gust of summer breeze. Swooshing through the air, it made it's way up and around until reaching Marinette's window where it became stuck. She looked beside her seeing the newspaper, reluctant to get up, she looked over at Tikki
'I'll get it!'
She chirped and went to open the window and bring the newspaper to Marinette
'Don't become a slug on me'
She said in a joking style as she handed it over. Marinette snickered rolling her eyes good naturedely, she looked at the newspaper
FREDDY FAZEBEAR'S PIZZA
Looking for Night Guard! You only have to look after 3 child friendly, harmless animatronics! Cameras are there for your safety, two large heavy doors with sidelights lights and a specialised room just for you! Please call us or come visit us today!
Marinette gasped in amazement, she leaped out of her chair in joy
'YES! I FOUND A JOB!'
Tikki stumbled back surprised by Marinette's abrupt change in mood, the girl was suddenly her old self again
'Woah! What did you find Marinette?'
Tikki excitedly asked
'Freddy's! A job at Freddy's!
She spoke with a high pitched voice from excitement.
'I have to tell my parents!'
Rushing down stairs, Tikki was left floating in the room staring
'Freddy's…'
Something about that name sent shivers down her spine, maybe it was paranoia but she wouldn't let it bother her, Marinette was happy, that's what mattered. Marinette could barely hold back her adrenaline rush, her heart pounded loudly, her face stuck with a grin
'Mum! Dad! I found a job! I found one!'
They stood up with glowing smiles, they held hands as her mother asked
'What job di-'
'FREDDY'S!'
She couldn't help but blurt it out, it was all too much. Both Sabine and Tom's smiles faded, replaced with worry, Marinette gazed at them confused
'What's wrong?'
Her smile vanished, her parents looked at each other and nodded, they coaxed Marinette to sit down with them. The silence was heart aching until Sabine finally spoke
'Look, Marinette… We get that this is the first job you have managed to find'
Marinette gulped feeling cornered already, she wanted this job so badly
'Please no'
'It's just you see… Freddy's…'
Tom held her hand to signal he would take over from here, she nodded
'Freddy's is a good for nothing scheming company, they've done terrible things Marinette'
Tom would joke but from his deep tone, she could tell he was being serious. Things weren't looking good for her at all
'Why mmmeeeee!'
'When Freddy's was in America, there was an incident that went global. Children had gone missing at the pizzeria, their bodies were never found...'
Marinette felt her body go cold
'Missing children?! BODIES NEVER FOUND?!'
This wasn't what she was expecting but it was shocking nonetheless, biting her tongue to keep silent, her dad continue
'They thought they found the killer… But… (Sigh) There was no evidence to their claims, no one knows what happened to the children or the killer. There are only theories and stories of what happened'
Sabine spoke sweetly, her voice quivering
'We just can't let you go there Marinette, what happens if you vanish too? What will we do without you?'
Tom held Sabine's hand tighter as she rested her head on his shoulder. Marinette could see her parent's discomfort, but there wasn't any other jobs available, this was her only hope
'Mum, Dad, I uh… Get that your afraid but… This is the only job I've managed to find'
She tried to keep her breath and voice steady, everything depended on this, she didn't want to upset her parents yet she would fight for this job
'I really need this job… I'll be careful. Plus!'
Marinette smiled weakly
'You said it yourself Dad, all that's left are theories and stories, they can't harm me'
She took an unsteady breath
'Please…'
She looked down at her hands, looking at her parents was difficult considering what she was asking of them. Tom looked over at Sabine as he nodded in approval, Sabine outburst
'Marinette, if we let you go just… Just promise me you'll quit immediately if anything bad, strange, paranormal or anything out of the ordinary happens!'
Tom looked at her sighing, he knew this wasn't a good idea, but she wasn't a child anymore, she had the right to do what she wanted. Marinette felt her heart rise up again, a sign of hope
'Yes! Of course! Thank you so much!'
She rushed across the room to hug them before rushing up stairs again to get her bag. Both her parents smiled meekly, their daughter was so grown up. Marinette slammed the hatch open stepping inside her room, she rushed across to grab her cell phone
'Come on Tikki! I have to go apply for the night guard job!'
'Okay!'
Tikki cheered then flew back into the bag as Marinette took it while rushing down stairs, this really was the best day ever, she turned around as she reached the door waving
'Bye Mum! Bye Dad!'
They stood in silence and waved goodbye to their precious daughter.
-LATER-
Freddy's wasn't that far from her school, it was only a few blocks down. It was impossible to miss the large oversized bear sign hanging on top of the pizzeria. She gazed amazed by the sheer size, colours and lights that covered the whole building, it was like a child playhouse.
Marinette approached the two large sliding doors, they opened up revealing children laughing, shouting, eating and singing all around. Three large animatronics stood on stage performing, one stood in the centre which looked like a brown bear, it held a microphone and wore a top hat. To it's right was a yellow duck er chicken wearing a bib "LET'S EAT!", it held a cupcake that had eyes and a candle. To the right of the bear stood a large purple rabbit, it's giant paws were holding a red guitar pretending to play it.
Marinette watched in awe as children sang along with the animatronics, Tikki stuck her head out but quickly re treated feeling unwelcome. Continuing through the pizzeria, Marinette walked across to the reception desk, where a young lady smiled pleasantly at her
'Hello there, how may I help you?'
She chirped happily
'Hi! I'm here for the night guard position!'
Marinette chirped back delighted, for a moment, the young lady's smile wavered. Turning around she pointed towards another room that lurked in the shadows.
'That's were the boss is, just go in and he will interview you, don't stress yourself out, he is rather nice'
The girl exaggerated the word nice, she kept staring at the blue haired girl for a moment before getting back to work Marinette gave a small bowl of thanks and skipped off to the door. Another employee approached the reception desk
'Another one eh?'
A smaller male spoke staring off into the distance, the receptionest sighed
'Yeah Morty, another one… I just hope she gets out whole…'
Marinette took a few deep breaths, the door between being jobless or having a job was right in front of her, she knocked on the door.
'Come in'
The voice was masculine, annoyance and tiredness was evident. She walked in to face an older man with dark hair, black ring eyes and a distant look. He gazed up at the girl with blue hair not paying much attention to after a quick look.
The room itself wasn't much, just a desk where the Boss sat, papers scattered around the floor with cups of take away coffee or maybe tea laying around. Quite the mess for some so called boss.
'You have the job. Take the uniform on the left and get out. Come back at 11:50pm wearing your full uniform. You can find your way to the security room easily. Now get out.'
No papers? No background check? Well she didn't bring any resume so it wouldn't have mattered but wasn't he even a little cautious of who worked for him? Marinette was dazzled at the rudeness and arrogance of her new boss, he hadn't even asked for her name.
'O-Okay'
A purple uniform sat on a chair in front of the boss's desk, it was new, clean and shiny just waiting to be used. She took the uniform and left quickly
'Rudest person I've ever met'
She scoffed, Tikki popped her head out
'Yeah, not even a formal greeting'
Marinette giggled
'And I thought Chloe was rude'
Waving it off, it didn't matter right now, she finally managed to get a job, but was it truly worth it?
Her boss sat bonedoggling as he fidgeted with his pen
'Rick! Morty! Get the special cleaning equipment ready for tomorrow morning! There is going to be a new mess, heh… Oh right. Tracy! Give that night guard a quick tour, don't want them wandering around getting lost during their shift now would we'
A blonde girl appeared rushing into the boss's office then rushing out quickly chasing after the new night guard. Marinette was about to walk out as a stranger touched her arm, she turned around stunned only to see a blond girl
'T-The boss told me to give you a quick tour'
Marinette smiled sweetly
'That would be great!'
Tracy nodded. She led her around to the stage and pointed at the bear
'That's Freddy Fazebear, on his right is Bonnie the Bunny, on the left if Freddy is Chica the Chicken'
Tracy then continued down a hallway nearly leaving Marinette behind
'Whats up with these people? Are they always in such a rush?'
Tracy stopped near a stage, purple curtains with stars printed on and a sign that said "OUT OF ORDER" Marinette stared curiously
'That's Foxy the Pirate Fox but he is no longer functioning'
Finally, Tracy pointed down another hallway where a small room was placed in the centre
'That's your office, goodbye'
Marinette was left standing all alone, she glanced over to the curtin curious to know what was lurking behind
'Careful Marinette'
The girl jumped a little startled, she huffed smiling
'Your acting like my Mom Tikki'
Marinette walked away heading back out. From the distance close to the office, a strange figure loomed floating off the ground, it's nearly lifeless eyes stared at the new night guard. The ghostly body disappeared after a few moments without a trace, Tikki stuck her head out looking over at the animatronics on stage one more time.
They were looking at her, well, in her general direction at least…
No…
They were looking at Marinette. Looking at her.
-(BACK HOME)-
Marinette greeted her parents as she strolled upstairs still smiling in delight, things did turn out for the better in the end. She placed the uniform to the side as she flopped down onto her bed, Tikki flew by and sat at the table
'So, are you going to tell Alya?'
Marinette sprang to her feet rushing over to her phone, she quickly called Alya too excited to wait for tomorrow or any later for that matter.
'Hello?'
'ALYA! You won't BELIEVE this! I GOT A JOB!'
Alya sat on the floor gazing around the park crossed legged, she took a moment to process what her friend was shouting over the phone.
'Alya?'
Marinette started to wonder if she had even pressed the right phone number. On the other end, everything clicked into place, Alya stood up taking ahold of her bag that lay next to her
'HOLD ON! Did you just say you got a JOB?!'
Jogging on the spot Alya waited pensively for her response
'YES! I DID!'
'I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT GIRL! I TOLD YOU!'
Alya shouted into the phone, people all around stared but decided not to get involved with whatever was going on. Without a second though, Alya quickly said goodbye
'I'll see you soon Marinette!'
'Uh bye-'
Marinette was cut off by the ended call, she glanced over at Tikki who just giggled
'That was strange…'
Shrugging it off as nothing, she went over to her uniform, it was quite a vibrant purple, the kind that could be seen from a large distance.
'Tikki, do you think this colour could make a good suit?'
Tikki flew to Marinette's shoulder, she looked at the uniform with curious eyes
'Maybe, your more of an expert than me in that Marinette'
They both giggled, Marinette went back to lay down on her bed, grabbing a book to read as Tikki stayed on her shoulder reading the book along with her. About 5 minutes had passed when there was a knock on the front door
'I'll get it!'
Tom shouted from the living room walking over towards the door. Opening it up, there stood Alya grinning with a box of chocolates in her hands
'HelloisMarinetteinside?!'
Tom blinked for a few moments staring at the ecstatic girl, he chuckled moving aside opening the door fully
'Yes, she's upstairs. Please, come in'
'Thankyou!'
Marinette heard all the commotion, she quickly got up putting away her book as Tikki went to hide away. Alya rushed up the stairs, her shoes making more noise than any teen age party ever could, she swung the door open letting herself in
'MARINETTE!'
She cheered joyfully springing over to hug her friend, Marinette hugged her back, they both stared at each other and began to giggle hysterically. Alya wiped a tear away
'Here!'
She handed over the chocolate box, Marinette accepted it than opened it up straight away, Alya stared
'I thought you would save them for another time'
Marinette scoffed
'Save them? Isn't this a good enough time to eat them!'
Alya shrugged
'Your right! Lets eat!'
-(SOMETIME LATER)-
Alya stretched feeling her back getting a little sore from leaning up against the wall
'So… What made you choose to work at Freddy's?'
Marinette giggled
'I didn't, it's like it chose me! Plus, it's the only other job I could find'
Alya nodded in agreement, she popped another small chocolate ball into her mouth
'Marinette, you do know that Freddy's has quite a bad reputation right?'
Marinette silently nodded
'You know, when I went there a few days ago something strange happened… You know how there are three animatronics?'
She nodded then quickly added
'There's also Foxy the Pirate Fox! Though… I was told he no longer works'
Alya nodded
'The thing is, I walk in there minding my own business, the animatronics were performing on stage when suddenly! BAM! They stopped moving! That's because the performance was over of course. But… Out of nowhere, the bear started moving and so did the rabbit and the chicken, their heads turned slightly to look at the kids! Then a tall man walked out of a dark corridor staring me down so I ran out the pizzeria!'
Alya shivered, Marinette smiled as she placed a hand on Alya's shoulder
'Oh girl, you must be reading too many horror books these days'
She smiled back, a smirk formed on her face
'But then again, that man you must have seen is my new boss, he's really creepy and utterly rude'
Alya nudged Marinette
'Maybe your right, maybe I was seeing, well feeling things'
-(NIGHT)-
Alya had left rather early about 6pm in order to let Marinette get some rest before her night shift at Freddy's. Marinette changed into her pyjamas and shifted into bed,
'Goodnight Tikki'
She yawned
'Goodnight Marinette'
…
'Come…'
Marinette shifted in bed laying on her side, the blankets wrapped around her tightly
'Won't you?'
A voice whispered in her head
'We… We… WE…'
She shifted once more feeling more uncomfortable than ever, the voice only got louder
'Come… Save… Save… SAVE THEM!'
Marinette's eyes opened wide, she was met with nothing more than darkness, she was still home, everything looked completely normal
'What was that?...'
-(ADRIEN'S HOUSE)-
Plagg sat eating his usual camembert cheese while Adrien slept silently, the small black cat had been struggling to get any sleep for the past hour. He sighed
'Why won't this stupid feeling go away?!'
Throughout the night, Plagg kept having this nagging sensation that something bad was coming, something was lurking in the darkness just waiting to be found once more. He looked over to the sleeping teen, getting up he went over to sit by the teen's blond hair
'Adrien'
Plagg whispered, there was no response. His ear twitched in annoyance
Adrien'
He whispered more commandingly, still, the other male didn't respond. Plagg growled
'ADRIEN!'
The black cat screeched out, Adrien shot up nearly knocking the little cat off the bed, he looked around utterly confused. His eyes landed on Plagg who sat arms crossed on his pillow glaring up at the human
'What's wrong Plagg?'
The blond yawned slurring his every word, the cat stared at his human companion
'Jeez, can't believe I got stuck with him… Just wondering if you have anymore camembert'
Adrien rolled his eyes to keep himself from glaring down at Plagg, he pointed over to his closet tiredly rubbing his eyes
'There's a small box in there with fresh camembert'
He mumbled getting back into bed, Plagg flew off happily getting himself the night snack. Adrien kept an eye on the cat, he whispered to himself
'Why is he up so late? Maybe something is bothering him?... (Sigh) I'll just have to stay awake tonight'
Laying down on his side, he stayed awake watching Plagg sit by the window eating away at his camembert. If Plagg couldn't sleep then he wouldn't sleep
