"They're hiding again."

Alfie looked around the back yard warily, not daring to move from his spot at the table. He had papers spread out before him, with a box of crayons nearby, drawing pictures of Fredbear and Spring Bonnie. Next to the box of crayons, sat Alfie's little Fredbear plushie. It was the same golden color as Fredbear and even had a purple top hat and matching purple bowtie.

While Alfie did have plush versions of the other animatronics from Fredbear's, the ones which were currently not in use, Alfie liked Fredbear the most. Fredbear talked to him and always made him feel safe.

"Over there, behind the bushes. If you ignore them, they'll leave you alone."

Alfie did as his plushie advised and ignored the older boys. There were four of them, all a bit older than Alfie himself and they loved to scare him. Whenever Alfie was at the playground with his classmates or playing in the schoolyard at recess, the group of boys would always hide and jump at him, scaring him. They were two grades above Alfie's and Alfie had no problem telling his teacher about them, just like Fredbear advised him to do.

If anything, the kids stopped picking on him in school and started trying to mess with him outside of school instead.

"Aw come on Jake, the runt's not coming over here."

"Shut up, he will," Jake replied, turning to face his friend Eddie, who had spoken, "Just give it another minute and we'll get him good!"

"Maybe we should just go," Eddie sighed, while the other two boys, Danny and Tyler, agreed with him.

"Yeah, let's go play some video games at my house," Tyler suggested, "We can worry about him later. My Mom said we're going to his birthday party at Fredbear's this Saturday, anyway. We can scare him there."

Jake turned to Tyler with a smile, "Ty, that's brilliant. We can really scare the pants off him at Fredbear's!"

"They're gone now."

"Thanks Fredbear," Alfie smiled, looking at his plushie, "You're the best."

"Oh, why thank you," Billy smiled, coming up behind Alfie, still wearing his security uniform.

"Billy!" Alfie smiled, turning and giving his older brother a hug, before looking up at him with big eyes, "Do you work tonight?"

"Nope," Billy smiled, "I worked in the morning time, because Mike was home sick. So... we have all night together."

"Yay!" Alfie cheered, grabbing his Fredbear plushie, "Can we watch a movie?"

"Of course we can," Billy smiled, following Alfie back into the house, "You can pick out whatever movie you want. I brought home some pizzas for dinner from Fredbear's."

"Good," Alfie smiled, hurrying into the living room, "Where's Willow?"

"She's working tonight at the movie theater," Billy replied, heading into the kitchen to get some cups and napkins, while Alfie sat on the sofa, looking through the VHS tapes, "So it's just us."

"Okay," Alfie replied, picking out a movie, "Can we watch a movie with her tomorrow?"

"Of course we can," Billy smiled, setting the cups and napkins down on the coffee table, before taking his uniform shirt off, leaving himself in a white t-shirt, "Pick out a movie?"

"Yup," Alfie smiled, taking a slice of pizza and sitting on the floor in front of the sofa.

Alfie loved the Summer. He didn't have school, so that meant he could spend more time with his older brother and sister. Since they were usually watching him while their parents were at Fredbear's or Freddy's, they usually let him stay up past his bedtime too.

The two of them watched the movie together, munching on their pizza and talking every so often. Once Alfie finished eating, he climbed up onto the sofa with Billy, hugging his Fredbear plushie.

By the time the movie was finished, Willow had just arrived home.

"Hey Will," Billy smiled, "How was work?"

"Pretty busy, actually," Willow smiled, then eyed the leftover pizza that sat on the coffee table, "Don't tell me that's pizza from Fredbear's."

"Okay, I won't tell you it's pizza from Fredbear's," Billy grinned. Willow sighed.

"Don't you ever get sick of eating that?"

"Never."

"Figures. Come on Alfie, bedtime," Willow smiled, holding her hand out to him. Alfie yawned and rubbed his eyes, before grabbing Fredbear and taking Willow's hand, walking to the stairs with her. Willow helped him into his pajamas and got him tucked into bed with his Fredbear plushie, before sitting beside him.

"Did you have fun with Billy tonight?" Willow smiled, brushing his hair off his forehead.

"I did," Alfie smiled widely, "We watched a movie and ate pizza and Billy even let me stay up late!"

"I'm glad," Willow chuckled, "Excited for your birthday?"

Alfie nodded, still smiling, "Yeah! Fredbear's gonna sing happy birthday to me and it'll be awesome!"

"Well, like all big boys, you need some sleep," Willow said, leaning over and kissing him on the forehead, "I'll be home tomorrow and Billy's working at night, so maybe the three of us can go out somewhere before Billy has to go to work."

"Okay," Alfie smiled, "Mom and Dad aren't working on my birthday right?"

"Nope," Willow assured him, "Billy and I will make sure they don't start working. Promise."

"Good," Alfie nodded, "Night Willow."

Willow smiled, getting up and heading to the door, "Night Alfie. Sleep tight."

Willow headed to her room, yelling, "Good night!" downstairs to Billy as she went, smiling as he yelled it back to her. She could hear the news on and knew he'd be watching it before going to sleep. He usually watched the news before heading to Fredbear's for the night shift.

After getting changed out of her work uniform, Willow sat on her bed and turned her own TV on, knowing she wouldn't be able to fall asleep right away, anyway. She smiled, picking up her big Spring Bonnie plushie and playing with it's ears. Billy had won it for her when they were kids. He'd spent the entire Summer saving his tokens and tickets from Fredbear's, until he finally had enough to redeem for the big plushie. He gave it to her on their tenth birthday and Willow had kept it ever since. It was definitely her favorite possession. True, Billy could've probably asked their parents for one and they would have agreed, but Billy wanted to earn it on his own and give it to his sister, so it would be more special.

Willow layed back and looked around her room quietly, while she waited for sleep to overcome her. She had a bulletin board on the wall above her desk, which was covered with drawings that Alfie had made for her and also some famly photos.

She thought about Alfie's upcoming birthday, in six days' time. She knew he was excited and she was too. She just hoped that her parents wouldn't get the urge to work during the party. They'd promised Alfie they'd be there to celebrate with him and not to work. She knew they couldn't help it though; they were the owners and they felt responsible for everything that had to do with Fredbear's and Freddy's.

'It's alright,' she thought to herself, closing her eyes and willing herself to sleep, 'Alfie's birthday is in six days and it'll be a blast.'
