Help wanted
Looking for two guards to work the night shift.
Watch over animatronics and equipment.
120$ a week
To apply, call 1-800-FAZBEAR
Michael Schmidt raised his eyebrow upon seeing the ad in the newspaper. He had just recently finished high school, and looking for a job to pay for his apartment's rent.
Grabbing his cell phone, he dialed the phone number on the paper.
"Freddy Fazbear Family Pizzeria, how may I help you?" A voice spoke aloud.
"Yes, I'd like to apply for the night guard position," Mike replied.
"Awesome! You'll be paid 120 Bucks a week with the other guard, come over to the pizzeria at 9 tonight,"
Mike barely said yes before they hung up. They didn't even ask for anything,not even his education!
"Huh," he said as he looked at the time.
8:30PM
"Ah shit, I'm gonna be late!" He said as he grabbed his coat and raced out the door.
...
A blonde teen was walking down the sidewalk when a brunette man ran past him, causing him to stumble.
He only got back up and brushed the dust off himself as he noticed the newspaper the man had dropped in his hurry. He picked it up and saw the same ad circled in black marker.
'Huh, seems like a good place to start. Maybe I can get a close up with the animatronics,' He thought as he pulled out his phone. It was a Silver Asus Nexus 5 as he dialed the number on the paper.
"Freddy Fazbear Family Pizzeria, how may I help you?" A gruff but cheery voice said on the other line.
"Yes, I'd like to know of you have the night guard position available,"
"We do! Someone else asked, and now you can fill in the other position! We need you to come over to the pizzeria by 9, thanks!"
And with that, he hung up.
'Weird,' The teen thought as he headed in the direction the man that had rushed by ran off to.
This teen wasn't your average everyday 18 year old. He had just received an engineering degree after he passes high school with straight A's. He was pretty smart for someone of his age.
After waking down the streets with the last of daylight fading away, he arrived at a small building, with big bold letters above the entrance,
FREDDY FAZBEAR'S FAMILY PIZZERIA
The teen smiled as he entered the main doors to see the man that had rushed by him talking to what seemed to be the manager.
"Oh hey again! Umm, sort for uh, bumping Into you, I was kinda in a hurry..." The man said.
"Hello! I suppose you're here for the night shift as well?" The manager spoke.
The teen nodded. "Good! I'm Mr. Fazbear, this is Mike Schmidt, you'll be working with him."
Mike smiled and shook the teen's hand with a smile. "Pleased to meet you, uhh..."
"Silvex. My name is Silvex Knight," the blonde teen replied.
"Excellent! Both of you start tonight, your uniforms can be found in the security office. Follow me, I'll show you around."
Mr. Fazbear proceeded to show Mike and Silvex around the Pizzeria. The dining room was set up before a show stage, which the curtains weren't drawn back, so neither guards could see what was on the stage.
Next, he showed them the backstage, with various masks and animatronic devices. Silvex wanted to tinker with them, but decided to refrain unless Mr. Fazbear said it was okay.
On their way to the security office, they walked past what Me. Fazbear called Pirate Cove. Mike felt like this place was familiar, but didn't know why.
"And here is the security office!"
Silvex peered in. It was a small room with two doorways, with one window, and two buttons next to each door.
"It's a bit small for the two of us," Silvex said as Mike sat down in the chair.
"True, but I'm sure the both of you can improvise," Mr. Fazbear said. Silvex looked at his watch,
10:00PM
"Your shift goes from midnight to 6 in the morning. The front doors will be locked, so keep that in mind." Mr. Fazbear explained. "Since you two have 2 hours, why not go check out the pizzeria more? I'll be in my office till your shift starts if you need me,"
Both boys nodded and walked out of the security office. Mike strayed over to Pirate Cove, trying to remember why it looked familiar.
Silvex, meanwhile, was curious about the show stage. "Are there any animatronics up there onstage?"
"Yes, the whole Fazbear band is up there. Wanna see?" Mr. Fazbear offered.
Silvex nodded eagerly, so Mr. Fazbear drew back the show curtain to reveal three animatronics. One was a brown bear with a top hat on his head, another was a purple bunny with a red bow-tie, and a electric guitar, and the third one was a yellow chicken with a bib that said 'LET'S EAT!', and was holding a cupcake with eyes in one hand.
Needless to say, they were an interesting bunch.
"The Bear is Freddy, The Bunny is Bonnie, and the Chicken is Chica," Mr. Fazbear explained as Silvex walked up onto the stage, looking closely at them. They were filthy from all the grease and oil from pizza and human hands.
"When was the last time they had a bath Mr. Fazbear?" Silvex asked, picking a dried piece of pepperoni off of Chica.
"No staff member has been brave enough to get close to them. Heck, you're the first to get THAT Close to them!" Mr. Fazbear said, chuckling lightly, then sighing sadly.
"Would you mind if I gave them a bath before I start my Shift?" Silvex asked, his eyes on Bonnie.
'Cute,' Silvex thought.
"Go right ahead, be my guest! Don't expect to get paid extra though, we have a tight budget here at this Pizzeria. There should be a bucket and a big sponge in the backstage. Yoyu can fill it with water and soap in the kitchen." Mr. Fazbear told Silvex as he headed off to his office.
Silvex went to grab the bucket and Sponge and then began to walk to the kitchen. On his way, he pasted Pirate Cove, where Mike was still sitting, lost in thought.
"You okay Mike?" Silvex asked, gently nudging his co-worker. Mike shook his head.
"Yea, but i can't shake the feeling i've been here before…" Mike replied to the blonde teen. Silvex smiled.
"You'll sort it out eventually, anyways, i'm gonna wash the animatronics before we start our shift… I'm sure you wouldn't mind looking after Foxy?" Silvex asked. Mike turned to look at him with an amazed look.
"You know his name?" Mike asked. Silvex laughed.
"I asked Mr. Fazbear about it silly!" Silvex said, chuckling as he headed off to the kitchen. Mike rolled his eyes in amusement as he got up and pulled the curtains back.
Revealed was a large room with a piratey feel, with several props and dusty boxes. In the middle of the room was a red fox animatronic, who had his head down as he was inactive.
Mike walked up to Foxy and looked him over in the dim light coming from the dining room. He had seen better days, tears and rips in his suit were evident, as well as parts of his endoskeleton were exposed, having no suit to cover it at all.
"Poor thing…" Mike said as he brushed some dust off Foxy's Shoulders. "I'll ask Silvex if i can use the sponge after he's done with the others…" Mike said to himself as he began to tidy up the messy Cove.
Unaware that Foxy was listening in to him.
Silvex, meanwhile, had finished getting ready to wash the animatronics. Carrying the heavy bucket and sponge with him to the show stages, he hummed a tune he loved to listen to alot, 'Midnight City', by M83.
Getting onto the stage and placing the bucket on the floor, he soaked the sponge in the soapy water and began to wash Chica first. He swore he could've heard the bird happily humming to herself, as if she loved getting clean after so long, but when Silvex stopped, silence filled the air. He shrugged it off and finished on Chica, moved onto Freddy.
Silvex really wasn't sure if he was hallucinating as he could've heard Freddy singing some sort of song, not the ones the band played all day, but, a classic tune from the 80's.
'I must be imaging things…' Silvex thought to himself as he finished on Freddy, the brown bear now looking much more presentable in the stage light.
Now for the finale, Bonnie.
Silvex hummed more as he started washing bonnie. HE hummed louder than he usually did, blocking out Bonnie, who was humming along with Silvex as he washed the purple bunny.
Silvex didn't know it yet, but Bonnie and the gang were growing fond of the teen.
Silvex huffed happily as he finished and put the sponge into the bucket. The three animatronics had never looked better! Silvex Grinned as he pulled out his phone to snap a quick picture of the happy, clean looking band.
As he was heading towards the kitchen, Mike came out of Pirate Cove.
"Silvex! Mind if I use that for a moment?" He asked as Silvex waited for him in front of the kitchen doors. Silvex looked at his watch again.
11:30PM
"Sure, but be quick about it, our Shift starts soon," he said, handing the bucket to Mike, who grinned and nodded before carefully heading back to Pirate Cove.
'What has gotten into him?' Silvex thought as he headed back to the Security office. Inside, he tested both buttons. One was for the door, another was for a bright light.
Silvex poked and looked around the tiny office before he got a basic idea what he and Mike could do here.
They could use the tablet to access the security feed, and use the light to illuminate the hallway, for all the lights shut off at 12, and the doors require power to stay shut. They had a Generator, which lasted only so long, that was active from 12 to 6.
As Silvex was looking through the drawers of the desk, he found five plushies. One Freddy, One Bonnie, One Chica, One Foxy, And One… Golden Freddy?
"Huh," Silvex said as he placed all five Plushies on the desk. They looked cute and cuddly, He thought.
With Mike, he was just finished gently scrubbing all the dust, grease, and dirt off of Foxy. He could've sworn he had seen the fox's eyes glow a warm Gold, but passed it off as his imagination. As he left Pirate Cove, he felt like someone was watching him.
After dumping the dirty greasy water down the drain, Mike walked out just to hear the Midnight bell ring. Mr. Fazbear walked by him on his way to the front.
"Good luck boys!" He called out as he left the building, locking the front doors behind him.
Mike nodded and headed back to the security office to join Silvex.
Unaware that three pairs of eyes were watching him very closely…
There you have it! The new and improved 'Bonnie's relationship'!... Except that's not the name of this story.
