Chapter One: A New Friend In The Dark

One fine night, Bill, the new night guard, came into Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria to start his shift. He was doing the basics: check the camera, wind up the Marionette's box, close the vents, and check the hall using his flashlight every once in a while. He had heard from his boss that the animatronics would normally walk around but wouldn't bother him, but he did not expect that while he was watching the animatronics, that someone was watching him. It was Bonnie.

Bonnie was wandering around the pizzeria and came across the office that Bill worked in. "Who was he?" She asked herself. She watched him look at a small tablet in his hand until she had the courage to say something to him, "Hello, how are you tonight?". She asked, making Bill jump in fright. He turned towards her voice only to see the tall bunny animatronic standing in his office.

"W-What!? H-How can you talk?" Bill asked, shivering in fear. "I'm sorry, did I frighten you? I didn't mean to. My name is Bonnie. What's your name?" Bonnie asked, trying to make her new friend feel better. "W-Well my name is Bill. Are you going to h-hurt me?" Bill questioned, even more scared now wondering what her answer would be. " Why would I do that?" She asked, making Bill feel more safe. " S-So...can the other animatronics talk too?" Bill asked. "Well of course they can talk! Why don't you come and meet my friends?" Bill was afraid as of how her friends would think of him and if they'd want to hurt him.

"Sure... but will they hurt me?" He asked. " No silly, why would they?". "Well..." Bill started, " They may not like me. I'm not like you guys, I'm human." He finished. "Oh." She replied. " I think that they'd like you, they're not that picky when it comes to meeting new people." She reassured Bill. " I...I guess it wouldn't hurt m-meeting new people..." Bill said. Bill then got out of his chair, and put the tablet on the desk. Bill and Bonnie then made their way down the hall to go and meet Chica. Chica was standing near the kitchen talking to Foxy. "Hi guys!" Bonnie said "Ahoy, Bonnie, who's this lad with you?" Foxy asked.

"H-Hi, I'm Bill" He greeted. "He's the new night guard." Bonnie said cheerfully. "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, Bill. I'm Chica, a pleasure to meet you." Chica said with a big smile on her face. "Thanks, Chica." Bill said, smiling back, " You're welcome" Chica said. " So yer new here, eh?" Foxy asked, grinning, " W-Why yes I am." Bill replied back. "Have you met Freddy yet?" Chica asked. "No, I haven't, is he as friendly as you guys?" Bill asked with a smile. " He's not the friendliest, but I think he'll come around to you." Bonnie answered, trying to assure Bill that nothing bad will happen. 6:00 A.M came by and Bill had to leave for home. He said goodbye to Bonnie, Foxy, and Chica, and ran out the door.

He climbed into his grey GMC Sierra and drove off. He was shocked as to how they could talk and move on their own. He thought he was losing his mind, but he wasn't. This was real, it wasn't a dream it wasn't a nightmare. When he got home he got out of his truck, unlocked his door and ran inside. He then went into the washroom and stared into the mirror and slapped himself. "This can't be real, it just can't be! They can talk, they can walk, they have their own personality! Bill, you've got to be going insane!" After he was done trying to knock some sense into the whole situation, he brushed his teeth and crawled into bed.
The next night he walked into the pizzeria and met a tall bear looking down at him, he's seen this bear before, it was Freddy. Nobody else was around, just Freddy. "H-Hi, Freddy." He said, nervously. "Hello." the tall animatronic said staring down at Bill. "So how long have you been here for? Surely you're new around here." Freddy said, crossing his arms. " I am new. Tonight is only my second night working here." He replied. "I'm afraid there's going to have to besome rules around here. Rule #1: You do not talk to any of the animatronics especially not Bonnie. Rule #2: You don't come to talk to me, I'll come to talk to you when I want to. I'm not your friend, I'm not your enemy. This shall never change, got it?" Freddy asked in a stern tone.

" Y-Yes, I understand." Bill replied. " Good. Now, we've never had this talk, okay?" Freddy asked. "Umm, o-okay.." He said. As Freddy walked away, Bill went to his office. It was 1:00A.M and he still hasn't seen Foxy, Chica, or even Bonnie. Right now he'd feel a lot better for Bonnie to talk to him because she at least would keep him some company and wouldn't hurt him. He was still shocked from what Freddy had told him. He would wonder what Freddy would do to him if he were to break a rule. After an hour of watching his tablet checking for any problems. All of a sudden Bonnie came into his office, "Hey Bill, how are you today?" Bonnie asked cheerfully, while taking a seat beside Bill.

"I'm doing alright I guess. I met Freddy earlier.. How was your day, Bonnie?" He asked back as he turned his tablet on to make sure that Freddy was staying in the same room. "My day has gone pretty well. I got to learn how to make pizza, Chica showed me. What did you and Freddy talk about?" She asked, smiling at him. "Well, he told me that I couldn't talk to with you, Chica, or Foxy. He also told me that I can't talk to him, only when he comes to see me, I can talk to him." Bonnie laughed and said, " He's only doing that to scare you". "Well, he surely is doing a great job at it. What would he do to me if I were to break one of his rules?" Bill asked.

"I have no clue what he'd do. He does get angry around me sometimes but he's never hurt or touched me before." She answered. "Why would you think that he'd tell me that I can't talk to you guys?" Bill asked as he looked down at his tablet to check if the robotic bear was still in his spot. Him and Bonnie then continued to talk about Freddy for the remaining hours of Bill's shift. The 6:00 AM clock chimed, indicating that Bill's shift was over. They've been talking so much that they hadn't noticed the time. "Well, it's been nice talking to you, but I've got to go home now." He said as he got up from his chair. Bonnie walked with him until they got to the door. He walked outside, unlocked his truck and drove off.
