iStormy: I'm glad you're enjoying it. :) I'm planning on doing a little spin on your suggestion but I'll figure it out completely as soon as I get some ideas down. I was thinking about doing a plot twist that slaps you in the face...but it's a work in progress XD

"Freddy Fazbear's Pizza," I said to myself. "Never thought I'd see this place again." The parking lot was almost empty. I parked the car right next to the door and walked inside.
The smell of stale pizza hit me as soon as I walked in. I wrinkled my nose. How did I ever like this stuff? The sound of screaming and laughing kids was almost deafening, especially since I was so used to it being quiet at home.
"Hello, and welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. How can I help you today?" a girl about my age droned in a monotone. Her brown hair was worn emo-style. She wore the traditional employee uniform, a red apron over a red and yellow striped dress. A name tag pinned onto her apron said "Cindy Hersew." Her head was rested on her hand in a way that clearly said that she didn't want to be there.
"I'm Natalie Retter. I called earlier about the job as the night guard," I explained.
Cindy's head shot up, her eyes widening. "Th-the night shift?"
"Um, yeah," I replied nervously.
"I-I'll go get the ma-manager," she stuttered. With that she ran with lightning speed across the building, towards the back of the stage. Which left me alone.
I stood awkwardly at the front desk, rocking back and forth on my heels. I occasionally waved at some of the parents that were there to pick up their kids. I checked my watch. 7:32. The place would be closing in about thirty minutes.
When Cindy didn't come back for a few minutes, I decided to have a look at the animatronics. Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica were on stage. They were playing some cheap cover of "You Are My Sunshine."
I shuddered. Even as a kid, Chica creeped me out. I mean, why would a duck need to have teeth? And a bib?
Freddy and Bonnie weren't as bad, but Bonnie liked to sneak up on people. And Freddy mainly stayed on stage. Which was kind of ironic, considering he was the mascot of the place and, therefore, loved the most.
But I couldn't find Foxy anywhere. I frowned, noticing the purple curtain on the other side of the room. Was that were Pirate Cove was? I couldn't remember.
Trying to act as casual as possible, I strolled over to the curtain. A sign was hastily nailed into the ground in front of it. It said "Sorry! Out of Order."
"Out of order? That sucks," I said to myself. "Surely they would have fixed him after the Bite." I gently pushed a little bit of the cloth away so I could peek at the inside. I saw the outline of the pirate ship, but it was so dark that that was pretty much all I could see.
"Natalie!" a voice called. I hastily shut the curtain. I stirred up a little dust in the process and sneezed.
An overweight man was advancing towards me, hairy arms stretched out. He had slight stubble and a black mustache below bright blue eyes. The top of his head was bald except for a few strands of black hair. His white work shirt was rolled up at the sleeves. His tie was black, matching his pants and his dress shoes. Large sweat stains were visible under his arms and on his back. (A/N Stereotypical boss anyone? :3)
"Welcome! I see you are interested in working as the night guard," he said.
"Yes, yes I am," I replied. Well, at least someone here isn't acting all weird about it.
"That's great news. The last night watchman quit about two weeks ago and we haven't found anyone else," the manager explained.
"Why?" I asked. He hesitated.
"Do you have any concerns about the job?" he asked. I frowned. I take that back. Why did he dodge the question?
I shook my head, and he smiled. "Great. Just fill out this contract."
He conjured up a packet of paper and a pen from his back pocket and held them out to me. I took the packet and read it over. Just regular things that you would find in a contract. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is not responsible for injury, blah blah blah, any damage to property results in an automatic suspension, yadda yadda yadda.
I signed my name at the bottom and handed it back to the manager.
"Welcome to the Freddy Fazbear family, Natalie," he said. "I'm Lucas. If you have any questions, please let us know."
"Oh yeah, I actually do have a question," I said. Lucas flinched, as if he was just proven guilty of something.
"What ever happened to Pirate Cove? After the Bite, I mean."
Lucas relaxed. "Unfortunately, Foxy was too dangerous for the children, so we had to put him out of order for good. He's almost done for anyway. He got so beat up over the past 11 years, he probably doesn't even start up anymore.
"Hey, could you maybe get rid of him for us sometime? The rest of us haven't really had the change to throw him out."
I frowned. "Couldn't you just fix him up so he would be harmless?"
"Well, we did attempt that, and some parents threatened to sue us if we brought Foxy back."
"...I guess I'll get rid of him tomorrow morning."
"Great. Thanks."
Lucas turned and headed backstage, leaving me by Pirate Cove.
A/N: This is actually going along a lot better than I thought it would. But I might not be able to update for a while...school has been brutal and I haven't even started on the next chapter :/ Again, thanks for the wonderful support! :D
