Chapter 1: A Slight Change
Jeremy finished winding up the music box remotely. Just as he did, he looked up and shined the flashlight a few times into the hall to reveal Mangle. Something was off about her though. She didn't seem evil or to have any evil intentions. She just swung from the ceiling, her arms dangling downwards.
"Hi!" Mangle waved. Jeremy was really confused. For as long as he could remember, these animatronics, no matter how human they looked, couldn't speak. It was all static to him. Something was very different.
Mangle threw her body into the darkness beyond Jeremy's flashlight range. Jeremy watched closely, waiting for something to happen. He was about to look down at the cameras until Mangle lunged from the hall towards him. Jeremy shielded his face with his arms. He waited for something to happen, yet nothing did.
Putting his arms down, Mangle appeared in his face from the ceiling and said "Boo!", making Jeremy yelp a bit. Mangle fell to the floor and started laughing. "Man! You should have seen the look on your face!"
"What the fu-" Jeremy was cut off by some rumbling in the vents. He quickly put the Freddy head on and turned on the right vent light to reveal Bonnie. The robot human bunny shimmied it's way out of the vent.
"Hey Mangle. Hey Freddy. Have you two seen the night guard? He's usually in here."
Jeremy began to stutter, but was cut off by Mangle. "Nope. Why don't you check the bathrooms. I saw him eating a few too many burritos earlier." Two of the extra arms on Mangle's back stretched up to the ceiling. She picked herself up and hung upside down.
"Hmm. Okay. See ya later Freddy. Bye Mangle."
Jeremy could only wave as Bonnie walked into the darkness of the hall. He slowly lifted the mask off and looked to the upside down Mangle. "What… was that?"
"Oh, just nothing." She giggled.
"No, I'm serious. You could have given me away, but just acted cool. And why are you not trying to stuff me in a suit?" Jeremy asked, flinching a bit as he looked back down at the camera.
"I dunno. Just seems like too much work." She shrugged. She looked down at the tablet. "Hey watcha lookin' at?" Before Jeremy could react, the camera monitor was snatched from his desk. He went to grab it back, but Mangle turned around, and the extra head coming from her shoulder hissed at him.
"Hey Chica! What's with your mouth? I liked your mouth better with the beak on!" Mangle said out loud.
"She can't hear you. It's just a camera." Jeremy said as he snatched it out of Mangle's hands. Mangle pouted and crossed her arms.
"I wanna see!" She whined. Jeremy sighed and put the monitor at an angle so Mangle could see as well.
"So, what do you do until six AM? Just spy on my friends?" Jeremy face palmed.
"No. I have to monitor the cameras for two reason. One, if a criminal gets inside, I can see who it is. Two, I need to make sure your 'friends' don't make it into my office because if the do, all I have to protect myself is this Freddy head," Jeremy lifted up the Freddy Mask. "And this flashlight." He picked up the flashlight, and clicked the button a few times to see no light coming from the device.
Looking up from the camera, Jeremy saw Balloon Boy holding two double A batteries.
"Fricken' Balloon Boy!"
