The Nightmare At Freddy's

Chapter 1: Getting The Job

Sonic was bored. He was surfing the Internet, looking for a job. His son walked in and smiled.

"What are you doing, dad?" Shadic asked.

"Looking for a job. With Eggman finally in jail, I decided I should find one. Shadow shouldn't be the only one with a job."

"How about this?" Shadic asked, pointing to an ad about a pizza restaurant.

"I don't know... Sitting around isn't really my thing."

Shadic looked at the ad. "It wants night guards, and pays 120 dollars a week."

"Doesn't make me want to sit around there."

"Hmm...all right."

Sonic sighed and leaned back. "Maybe I'll try for it anyway. Nothing else is really looking interesting either." Shadic smiled and went into the kitchen to get something to eat. A few minutes later, Sonic walked in. "I applied for the job."

"That's good," Shadic said. "When do you go in?"

"Tomorrow."

Shadic smiled and sat down on the couch. "When does dad get home?"

"Sometime this evening, so long as Rouge doesn't hold him up again."

"Okay."

"I hope this goes well."

"Same here," Shadic said. "Hey, what are we going to do for my birthday? It's in a few days."

"Why would I tell you that?" Sonic grinned over at him.

His son chuckled. "So you're going to keep it a secret, then?"

"Of course."

Shadic smiled and sat down at the table. Sonic sat across from him. Shadic smiled and sat down at the table. Sonic sat across from him.

"You doing anything today?" He asked.

"I haven't decided yet. Might go do something with Amy."

Sonic smirked. "Going on a date?"

"You know I don't think of her that way." Shadic frowned.

"I was just kidding, son. I know you don't."

"Did you want me to get a girlfriend?"

"Yeah," Sonic said. "You're old enough."

"I'm not sure I want a girlfriend though."

"How come?"

"I'm just not interested."

Sonic smiled. "Fair enough."

Shadic hesitated. "You don't understand...I'm not interested in girls. I...I don't swing that way."

"You don't?"

'I may as well tell him,' Shadic thought, and took a deep breath. "I'm gay."

"How dare you? I didn't raise you to be gay." Sonic mockingly said. "Is that what you're expecting to hear? I'm gay, Shadic. Shadow's gay... I don't know why you're so nervous about telling me."

"I guess I thought that you'd react how some people do...if you know what I mean." he shook his head. "Some people at school have bullied me because of it."

"Why would you think that? I'd have to be a hypocrite to get angry at you for this." Sonic frowned. "Who's been bullying you? Did you do something about it?"

"Just some asshole named Scourge...it doesn't matter."

"Scourge... I know that name." Sonic shrugged. "What did you do about it?"

"Nothing," Shadic said. He looked at his father. "What do you think I should do?"

"Stand up for yourself."

"I guess."

"No 'I guess' about it."

Shadic sighed. "Yes, dad."

Sonic chuckled. He stood up and yawned. "Well, I think I'm going to take a nap. You have fun."

The blue hedgehog walked up to his room and closed the door. Shadic smiled and turned on the TV, turning the volume down so not to wake his father. A few hours later, Shadow came home from work.

"Anything happen today?" Shadow asked.

"Dad applied for a job at a pizza place," Shadic said. "And...I told him that I'm gay."

"You're gay?" Shadow raised a brow. "Are you sure?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"What is that supposed to mean?" Shadow crossed his arms. "How much thought have you given to this?"

Shadic looked down and sighed. "I...I have a crush on a boy at school, all right? His name's Silver."

Shadow smiled and ruffled the hair between Shadic's ears. "As long as you don't get hurt. You said something about Sonic applying for a job?"

"Yeah. He's applied for a job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza."

"I heard they've been looking for someone for a while... The night shift security guard, right?"

Shadic nodded.

"I'll have to wish Sonic luck."

"He's sleeping right now," Shadic said.

"I'll do it later then."

Shadow smiled and ruffled the hair on Shadic's head again, then went and sat down on the couch to watch TV. before long, he was asleep on it with the TV still on. Shadic sighed and turned it off before going to bed. The next day, he woke up late and went downstairs. There was a note of the kitchen table saying that Shadow had gone to work, and Sonic was at his job interview.

"Might as well find something to do while I wait."

Shadic sighed and had breakfast, then went into the living room and turned on his Sega Dreamcast. Starting up his most recent game, Shadic leaned back and started playing.

It was a few hours later when Sonic came home. He saw Shadic and smiled. "Playing a game?"

"Yeah. I've got nothing better to do today." Shadic looked at Sonic. "Did you get the job?"

"I did. I start midnight tonight and get off at 6 AM."

"Then I guess you probably want to get some sleep."

Sonic nodded. "Later though. It's not that late, and I should get something to eat."

He walked into the kitchen and made himself a chili dog.

"Can I have one?" Shadic asked.

"Sure." Sonic threw some more hot dogs in the water and waited. When they were finished, he brought the chili dogs out. "Here's one for you," Sonic said. "And the rest for me."

"Thanks," Shadic said, taking the chili dog. Sonic sat down and got comfortable. "So, what do you have to do for the job?" Shadic asked.

"Just sit and make sure nothing happens during the hours I'm there."

"Sounds easy enough."

"It does sound easy. Boring, too."

"Yeah...well, try to have fun," Shadic said.

"I will." Sonic smiled.

He finished his chili dog and went upstairs. Shadic sighed and leaned back against the couch.
