NOVEMBER 10 1987

I woke up to the sounds of my friends waking me up. Oh yeah, I was spending a night at my friends' house last night. I opened my eyes to reveal five kids that were 3 to 4 years younger than me.

"Why good morning you guys." I said looking to my right. Rosie, a blonde eight year old girl with dark blue eyes, walked up to me and said.

"C'mon, get up...Pwease? We're going to be late." Rosie gave me a puppy dog face and I became confused. "Um Rosie, where are we going?" Everyone in the room gasped and said together. "We're going to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza!"

Wait a minute...Oh my gosh, we're going to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza today! I quickly jumped off the couch I slept on and ran into Rosie's room and started to change my clothes. I put on a black t-shirt, light blue shorts, and black boots.

As I walked out of the room everybody's parents, except mine and Mike's, were now in the living room. They questioned my face-paced speed but Jake answered their questions.

"Th' lass be forgetting 'bout our trip..." They nodded their heads also started to get ready, but were slower than me saw my brother, Mike Schmidt, walk up to me.

"Hey Mike, how's your new car?" "Its fine just needs a few tweaks in it. Ready to have fun?" I nodded but had a nagging feeling in the back of my head; that was telling me not to go to the pizzeria...

As we entered the building, the smells of pizza and children came to my senses, which was not a good combination. I looked around and saw that Fred and Sammy's parents were paying for us, and Jake's parents were ushering us to the stage room where the animatronics would play their songs everyday.

"This is a nice place..." I said to Sammy and Fred, a pair of twins whose favorite animatronics is Freddy. "Yeah, I wonder where they keep their older animatronics..." Sammy said to me as he ate a slice of pepperoni pizza. I walked over to Jake's mother and Mike and I said to them.

"If anyone is wondering where I am, tell them I'm in Kid's Cove. Okay?" Mike nodded and literally dug his face in cheese pizza while Jake's mother said. "Alright, just be careful now, darling..." I nodded and walked around the large pizzeria.

Right when I walked into Kid's Cove, I saw several kids tearing an animatronic apart. I could mainly see the head of the animatronics as those toddlers were tearing it apart. It had a white, fox-like head, with sharp teeth and pink accents around the eyes, snout, and ears. It also had worn a pink bow-tie around where the neck area was, and it's endoskeleton was showing only one golden eye in each head.

I stared at the animatronic in pity as I felt a hand tap my shoulder. I turned around and saw that Arthur, Jake, Fred, Rosie, and Sammy were looking up at me and Arthur talked first. "Can we please go to the Prize Corner?" I nodded and walked around the pizzeria again and saw that we were in the prize corner.

There were shelves of plushies of the animatronics, but the one thing that caught my attention was the many kids and toddlers that were surrounding a giant, as tall as me, blue and purple box. A 'Pop Goes The Weasel' chime came in the room and a figure came out of the box.

I had almost dropped the plushie that I was buying for my friends. The figure was as tall as the ceiling, about seven feet or so, and it was well...a puppet. It had a black body with white stripes going up from elbow down to the wrist and its head similar to a pierrot's. With rosy red cheeks, purple stripes going from the black eye-holes down to the mouth, as if it was crying. And its mouth was shaped to have an exaggerated pucker.

The puppet turned to the kids as if it was actually alive and gave the presents somehow. I turned back to my friends and gave them each a plushie, not taking my eyes off the puppet thing.
