I know what this is sudden but I had the impulse to make it… Sorry. It's just that I have been working on this for so long now. While the other [now non-existent] fanfic was ongoing in the computer, I was working on this on pen and paper—lots of paper, actually, whether it'd be blank elementary school notebooks or random sheets of yellow pad paper—and I've been repeatedly told to publish it already. To be honest, I controlled that impulse because I wanted to finish AC first but… I guess it never hurts if I work on two fanfics in the same time, right?

So this fanfic is obviously infested with my OCs so I think I can't put all the original game characters in the characters list in the story properties but I guess you get the idea, right? Because the character list only strictly consists of four characters at maximum but I hope you get the obvious idea that I have squeezed them all in this fanfic of mine.

And I kind of made this entirely original because I'm basing this on my home country—which is Manila, Philippines—instead of the traditional USA story layout but I hope you can follow what I'm trying to lead here.

I hope you do enjoy this, guys. Leave a comment maybe :)

Cheers.

Narrator's POV

In the bustling city streets of Katipunan, a lot of things are happening around here. For instance, the usual routine of the two neighboring colleges in the same strip of road are scattered with students with distinctive uniforms. Teens going about life, school and a lot of other shite that they could care about in this world so as to survive college and get out of the hellhole to do what they want in their own liberation.

Most of these young ladies in school are either in class or in their coffee breaks. There are also so0me who are whiling themselves away with the major subjects of their courses, taking down notes and working on their projects and worksheets in the common study hall, putting up with their confusing professors and arguing with groupmates.

Meanwhile, outside the school, just a few meters away from it… Booming music could be heard, not even a trucker horn can overcome the sound of the speakers. There was a new food joint established and its music sounded like parade music. Since it was in broad daylight, the neon lights needn't to be lit up. The letters read:

FREDDY FAZBEAR'S PIZZA.

And suspended below those words was a banner with finely printed letters was flashing in red:

GRAND OPENING!

A lot of people are sure convinced and enticed by this new food joint because, hell, who doesn't like pizza?

Staff members are gesturing the customers to come in as they bark out the words in a happy tone, "First 200 customers gets a free complete meal! Grand opening promo! Freddy Fazbear's Pizza!"

Who doesn't love free food here? Nobody of course. A few people are barging in because most people are at work or eating packed lunch inside their offices and there are students who also have classes on the time of lunch so they're pitifully consuming lectures than actual food.

A small handful of these particular students eating English lectures for lunch are Communication Arts students Kestrel, Nikaya, Shino and Fia. Now these girls, unaware of the situation outside about a recently-opened pizza joint just a few meters away from their school, are taking in their time in listening to their classmates' self-made speeches. Kestrel liked class activities like these, no matter how nerdy they are to other people, and while she listens she puts up with her classmates' speeches and also her bitchy classmates whom she barely talks to. She's a Nazi in grammar but she has no choice but to listen to it.

Meanwhile, their classmate was rather an impressive one and they were laughing at the good jokes she was speaking of. Outside of school was Rensu, he's still a high school senior and he's on his way to that exclusive all-girls school. He was coming over for Kestrel—his girlfriend for three years since high school. Now while he was on his way to her school, he heard the booming sound of the speaker system of the recently-opened pizzeria and thought that he might invite Kestrel over for a bite.

When the entire English session was almost over—when the last speaker finally stopped at the last word and then returned to her seat, they were packing their stuff one by one. From pencil case to notebooks, and then from makeup pouches and power chargers—for the bitches who barely brought an actual pen and notebook. Bags were being unzipped and then zipped instantly once everything was dunked down. It was evident for the teacher to notice that because, hell, who wouldn't hear the sound of a backpack's zipper in a 75-square meter room? Especially when there's like 35 of them?

The professor was reminding the next batch to prepare for their turn within a few days as they slung their bag straps on their shoulders and prepared to leave. And since the school was religious, they're not allowed to set foot out until a prayer is said.

And with that, it was a complete 35-to-40-person stampeded to the door—well, there's a front and a back door for every room but it was all summed up to the range of 35 to 40 girls desperate to go home or go somewhere to make them feel like they belong. While the other girls were still squeezing themselves out the door, the four remained until the crowd subsided because for sure there are other classes that are bursting with home-free students.

"So, what are you doing this afternoon?" Nikaya to Kestrel.

"Rensu's coming over here to fetch me." Kestrel says as she fishes for the phone in her pocket to check for any messages, most particularly from Rensu.

A few seconds later, a meow ringtone was heard coming from Kestrel's phone and it was Rensu saying that he was already in the waiting/drop-off area and they all went down to the ground floor of the building via elevator—except for Fia who has a fourth-degree claustrophobia in which Kestrel invented the medical term "fourth degree" because reasons. They met up with Dauphine, their friend taking up Management and went straight ahead for the exits and had their IDs scanned out and then Kestrel took the lead as she can identify Rensu easily—even though she could still see him when she's behind a small cluster of people.

Rensu got out of school early because nothing serious was happening now that it was graduating season for them—just full of practices when it comes to the singing part and then the marching, and then there's this crap with the candles wherein nobody knew in high school where it originated.

Since PDA wasn't allowed around the campus, Kestrel just gave Rensu a casual gentle pat on his torso and he tries to slide his arm around her just by grabbing onto her arm instead of the waist.

"Is it okay if we walk with you guys to the exit?" Shino.

"Sure, tag along." Kestrel.

Kestrel was locked into her own world with Rensu as they walk and then he suddenly blurted out about what he saw before going into the campus.

"I saw this new food joint nearby. Wanna go there? It says the first 200 customers get a free meal."

All of the girls heard it and they were hysterical as fuck about it and so they childishly went ahead. They were literally running. Well, that was only Fia and Dauphine who did the hysterical running and howling. Kestrel, Nikaya and Shino were the sane ones even though they had the joking vibe.

"Oh Jaysus..." Kestrel muttered.

"What?" Rensu.

"Their actions were unnecessary but it seems that I can't do anything about it."

As they walked their way to the pizzeria, the music slightly subsided so that it won't annoy the neighboring condos, convenience stores, restaurants and general shops. Upon entering the pizzeria, they were looking for a seat and an employee was kind enough to escort them to a six-seater. The joint was rather large, it was divided into two sections wherein the first one is the main dining area where there are no occasions held—just casual pizza-dining—and then there's the other half of the entire restaurant where all the kids are—technically if this wasn't the grand opening and it would be a regular day, this is supposedly a party area where the children's birthdays are happening. But since it's the grand opening, the staff decided to let the kids stay in the party area where the animatronics are to let them enjoy the place.

Both areas were divided by a set of double doors. Two sets to be exact and yet both sets of doors were open in which anyone would find unreasonable. Kestrel looked around, as observant as she could, and felt like there was something sketchy with the place. She just wasn't sure which one.

"Are you okay, hon?"

"Yeah, I am."

"You're not cold or sick?"

"No."

A waitress comes walking up to them giving them each a menu booklet.

"So all of these are free according to our liking?" Kestrel to the waitress.

"Yes, ma'am."

"How about a group meal, instead?" Nikaya suggests.

"Sure." Kestrel agrees. "Pepperoni and then beef?"

They agreed as they followed an order of bottomless iced tea. Since they were the 88th to the 93rd customer, their meals are still free and they were reminded by the waitress that it might take 15-20 minutes of prep time and they were willing to wait.

Why does this place feel so fucking sketchy? Kestrel thought in her mind.

Looking around, she saw the kids seem to be having fun and they seem to be drawing and coloring because she noticed a waiter handing over two sheets of paper to a little kid and a small cup container of crayons. At first, that was a little piece of comfort until the music changed suddenly from upbeat to faint.

Looking for the reason why the music turned faint, she saw a show stage with its curtains closed but when the music turned up again they drew back and showed three animatronic animals—a purple bunny wearing a red bowtie and holding an electric guitar, a bear with a tiny black top hat and black bowtie holding a mic and then there's this chicken wearing a bib with the words printed in fat letters "Let's Eat!". This gave Kestrel the stingy and uneasy feeling even though the kids seemed so fascinated with the robots.

Also, the animatronics can talk and they sure did have creepy tones if you're an adult instead of an ignorant child.

"Hi kids! I'm Freddy Fazbear!"

"And I'm Bonnie, kids! Come on in and have some of the best pizza only here in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza!"

"And I'm Chica! Let's eat!"

"Alright, kids! How about we all enjoy our delicious pizza?"

"Wait, Freddy! We're missing someone!" Bonnie interjects as if both were having an actual conversation or maybe the programming on the voices and responses are just remarkably constructed.

"Huh? Well, who could that be, Bonnie?"

Even the children were trying to figure out who was the one missing. Apparently, most of them are guessing an MC guy in a costume and jolly personality or another animatronic that is supposed onstage with the other three.

"Foxy!" Chica cuts in.

"Ooh, Foxy! Foxy the Pirate! Kids, help us out here! Let's call him out from the Pirate Cove!" Freddy.

"On three! 1..." Bonnie starts.

"Altogether, kids! 2..." Chica.

"Call him as loud as you can! 3!"

FOOOXXXYYY!

The calls of both children and animatronics filled the entire area. When they heard a loud distinct "Yaarr!", that is when they stopped calling and out from the purple starry curtains of Pirate Cove comes out a reddish-brown fox with an eyepatch on its left eye, a hook for a right hand and sandy brown pants, that animatronic was obviously digging the Pirate title—including the accent, that animatronic was working it.

Silently, the six of them watched and for Kestrel, it looked like she was watching an indoor circus act because of how colorful yet childish the entire setting is.

"Yaar! Yo-ho, me mateys! I'm Foxy the Pirate!"

"Great, kids! We found Foxy the Pirate! Now, you kids enjoy your delicious pizza and we'll sing you our favorite songs for you!" Freddy.

Oh Lord, no… Kestrel's soul muttered inside. She's fed up with those nursery songs that restaurants play for children whenever there's a party ever since she was five.

Just before the animatronics would go on with their songs, the waitress finally came with their order and then they started eating but they cannot ignore the loud songs that the animatronics are singing to the children. While singing, they were walking amidst the tables filled with children and their parents while the tweens and adolescents were at the other side where Kestrel, Rensu, Nikaya, Shino, Dauphine and Fia are.

The kids sure loved those animatronics as if they were the live stuffed toys they never had. Some kids would even pet them on the arms, face and belly because they looked realistic with the texture of each of their coat. In wonderment, they would continue petting them as if these robots could feel the tickle of the kids' tiny hands and fingers.

Little did these children and parents know that there is something that Kestrel has been feeling the first time she set foot into the cold floor tiles of the pizza joint.


So... how was this? Don't expect much, this is just an Intro. The longer ones are usually the chapters. But I guess this is the longest intro I've ever done yet.

Anyways, I hope you liked the first part of my FNAF fanfic.

Cheers.
