Author's Note-

I just want to apologize a million times. In my previous chapter, I did state that I had now reviews or follows or favs, but I did get some and I, being as clueless as I am, forgot to check. So thank you a gazillion times to all the people who followed and favorited. Also, shout out to Harmonics Rioter for your amazing review. I loved reading it and probably read it five times. Thanks for your support with this story.

Chapter Three-

Quinn was finally able to relax as she came to work. It was difficult to feel comfortable when killer robots are trying to, well, kill you. But she was confident that the animatronics wouldn't hurt her. Fairly confident, she added silently.

Unfortunately, her brother had taken the Taser away from her. He had said she "wasn't responsible enough to possess a weapon". Hopefully she wouldn't need it, however.

She smiled when she thought of Adam. He was, in her opinion, the most adorable thing to walk the earth. The thought occurred to her that she had forgotten to ask her manager about Adam. I'll just call him tomorrow, she figured.

Quinn unlocked the door to the pizzeria and was hit by a smell of… pizza. The restaurant had closed hours before, but the aroma was undeniable.

As if confirming her suspicions, Chica came into view holding a large pizza. "Hello, Quinn!" she shouted brightly. "I made you a pizza, to celebrate us not killing you!"

"Thanks..?" she replied, not sure how to accept the gift.

"No problem! I love cooking!"

"That works out great, because I love eating."

"Ye shouldn't have said that, lass," a voice said from behind her. She knew who it was from the unmistakable pirate speak in his words.

"Hi Foxy," Quinn said. "And why shouldn't I have said that?"

"Well, none of us can taste-test her new recipes, not being able to eat and all, so you'll have to do it."

"Why is that bad?"

"The last person to taste-test something new had to call in sick the next day… let's just say it wasn't pretty."

"I'm sure it'll be fine, Foxy," she replied nonchalantly. "Hey, have you seen Adam?

"Of course. The lad's playing in Pirate Cove."

Quinn followed Foxy to the brightly lit area behind the curtains. A life-sized pirate ship was in the center of the room, and the floor was decorated like a coast, complete with seashells and sandcastles.

"Avast, matey!" a small voice cried from above her. "Hoist the sails or be walking the plank, because First Mate Adam be running this ship!"

Quinn looked up to see Adam running around on the deck of the pirate ship. He had a foam sword in his hand, and he was swinging it wildly about. As soon as he spotted her, he darted into a room on the deck and came clambering down the steps. He leapt onto the floor and wrapped his arms around Quinn's legs in a literal bear hug.

"Hey, Adam," she said, smiling sweetly at him. "Having fun?"

"Yep!" he answered, happily clapping his hands. "You should play with us! Captain Foxy was just about to walk the plank!"

Foxy chuckled from behind her. "That be mutiny, lad. You're making me walk the plank of me own ship."

"What's mue-tin-ee?" Adam asked.

"It's when a crew member betrays his own captain," Foxy explained.

Adam made a sound that appeared to be a gasp. "Betray? I didn't know that! I would never betray Captain Foxy!"

Quinn patted the little bear's head. "I can walk the plank instead, First Mate Adam."

Adam cheered. "Really?"

"Sure," she replied, tapping his nose.

"Yay! Come on Captain!" he called to Foxy, grabbing Quinn's hand and pulling her along. She was careful not to trip on the steps, which Adam had to almost climb over.

Once on top of the deck, Adam showed her the plank. "Just jump off! It's fun, I tried it."

Quinn peered over the edge and saw a pit of foam blocks at the bottom. This does look like fun. "Are you ready?" she asked, glancing at Adam.

"Yep!"

"Here goes nothing," she said. Taking a deep breath, she bent her knees and jumped over the edge of the plank…

…And plunged feet-first into the pit of foam blocks. A childish feeling of joy enveloped her as she struggled to climb to the surface of the pit. She popped her head out and looked up at Adam. She wiggled her hand out and sent him a thumbs-up.

"My turn!" he shouted.

Quinn made sure to move out of the way as the small yet heavy animatronic rocketed towards the foam blocks. When he made impact, a few of the blocks flew out of the pit, and Adam himself was nearly at the bottom.

"Quinn?" he called from below the blocks of foam.

"I'm here," she responded. She had to almost crawl through the blocks to find him. "You need any help?"

"I can do it… I'm a big boy!"

She giggled at his adorableness. "You sure are. I'll wait for you at the top."

"Time me!" he yelled.

Quinn counted in her head as she "swam" to the edge of the pit. She pulled herself out and waited for Adam to come back up.

A few minutes later, his purple hand shot out of the blocks. He gripped the cushioned edge and climbed out, sitting next to Quinn.

"How fast was I?" he asked her.

"Really fast. So fast, I couldn't even see you."

"Quiiinn," he whined. "How fast was I really?"

"About two minutes," she answered truthfully.

"Aw. I was faster than that last time."

Quinn gave him a one-armed hug. "You did great, Adam."

He beamed. "Thanks Quinny!"

She raised an eyebrow. "Quinny?"

"Yeah! That's your nickname!"

"I think I'll just stick with Quinn," she said.

"Okay." He cocked his head. "Where's Foxy?"

"I'm not sure. Let's go find him." She got up and grabbed his shoulders, hoisting him into the air. Once he planted his little feet on the ground, he pulled her by the hand into the pirate ship.

"Captain Foxy?" he called. "Where are you?"

"Ye gotta find me, matey!" Foxy's voice echoed through the ship.

Adam squealed delightfully, a sound Quinn would have to get used to. It wasn't scary, but it was just so high pitched that it hurt her ears, and might've even given her a headache.

"Are we playing hide-and-seek? I love that game!" Adam clapped and started running around, searching for Foxy. He looked behind barrels full of fake gunpowder (which really didn't belong in a children's pizzeria), near fake cannons (they also seemed out of place), and around corners. Finally, Adam returned to Quinn when he couldn't find him.

"Can you help me look?"

Quinn pretended to debate it. "Hmm, I don't know…"

"Please?" he begged. "I can't find him."

"Oh, alright," she said, giving in. "Come on; he's gotta be around somewhere." She took his hand and led him up the steps to the deck.

She spotted a pair of red ears poking up from behind a barrel. Quinn quietly pointed this out to Adam, and he grinned. He tiptoed up to the barrel and jumped around the corner. Much to Quinn's displeasure, he let out an animatronic scream.

Foxy leapt up in surprise. "Gee, lad, ye got quite a voice."

"Thanks! Bonnie taught me!"

"Bonnie taught you?" Quinn echoed. "I don't think it's necessary for a toddler to know that."

"But Bonnie said it was important for an anima- anim- ani-"

"Animatronic," she offered.

"Yeah, that. Bonnie said it was important for an anima-tron-ic to know how."

Foxy smirked. "Well, lass, it is a good trait."

"But he's so young," Quinn argued. "He doesn't need to scream like that."

"If that makes Quinn sad, I can stop," Adam suggested. "Would Quinn be happy then?"

"That would make me very happy," she agreed.

"Yay!" he ran up to her and gave her his signature hug around the legs. "Quinn's happy, so I'm happy."

"Why don't we take a break from playing?" she asked. "I'm kind of tired, and Chica made me a pizza. It would be rude to not eat it."

"Okay!" Adam chirped. He followed her to a table in the pizzeria, and she sat down in a booth. Adam slid into the padded bench and looked at the large pizza sitting on the table.

"Can I have some?" he asked.

Quinn scratched the back of her neck awkwardly. "It's not good for animatronics."

"Oh," he said disappointedly.

"Don't be upset," Quinn reassured him, "I'm sure there's something around here you can eat."

Adam brightened up. "I tried eating the table once," he admitted. "It tasted okay."

Quinn smiled and shook her head. She tore off a piece of the pizza and shoved it into her mouth. The cheese seemed to melt right off, and to her delight, there was bacon underneath the cheese. Her favorite two foods, combined into one.

Adam sat patiently while she ate. His head barely came above the table, and that added to how cute he looked. He played with his feet while he waited, swinging them back and forth.

Quinn placed her pizza back into a box and closed the lid. "I've got a surprise for you Adam!"

Adam jumped up, standing on the seat of the booth so that his waist was above the surface. "I love surprises!"

She grabbed a backpack that she had brought with her. Reaching in, she took out a small box covered in Christmas-themed wrapping paper. He won't know what Christmas is, so I can reuse this wrapping paper, she mused.

"Here," she said, handing him the gift. "You have to take off the paper to get inside."

Adam tore off the wrapping paper, his toddler-ness taking over. Once he had opened the box, he held up what was inside.

"Thanks Quinn!" he beamed. He looked at his brand new polka-dotted bowtie.

"Anything for my favorite toddler," she replied, smiling.

"You're my favorite person!" he shouted.

"Thank you Adam," she responded, her heart warmed.

She checked the time on her phone. It was only two a.m. Luckily, she had other things planned for the night.

"Adam, I've got a very special job for you. Can you do it?"

He gave her a salute. "I can do anything!"

"I need you to go get Foxy, Bonnie, Chica, and Freddy. Tell them to meet me in the party room. Can you do that for me?"

"Yep!" he answered, leaping out of the booth. He took off down a hallway, his metal feet clanging as he ran.

Quinn slung her backpack over her shoulder and walked into the party room. There was a huge, flat screen TV there that was used for birthday parties. There was also a DVD player, which she intended to use.

Adam came running into the room, with the other animatronics close behind him. Somehow, he was managing to outrun them, even with his tiny legs.

"What's going on?" Freddy asked.

Quinn spilled the contents of her backpack onto the floor. A few DVD cases were left scattered on the ground. "Movie night," she replied simply.

"What kind of movie?" Chica wondered aloud.

"First we're going to watch a Disney movie, for Adam. Don't worry, you guys will love Disney. After that we're going to watch some of my favorite movies of all time…" Quinn paused to let suspense build up. "Star Wars!" she shouted.

"That sounds clichéd," Foxy concluded.

"It's not cliché! Okay, the first three aren't too good, but you guys can see the last three. Plus, I don't want to scar Adam with Jar Jar Binks."

"Who's Jar Jar?"

"You don't want to know." Quinn pulled out her disc that had the movie Finding Nemo on it. She popped it onto the DVD player and turned on the TV.

Each animatronic was eventually absorbed in the movie, not pulling away for anything. Adam occasionally clapped his hands in joy, and Quinn sat back and watched the others' reactions.

Once the movie ended, Quinn put in the disc that had all the Star Wars movies on it. If the animatronics seemed to love Nemo, then they went crazy over Star Wars. Everyone gasped at the suspenseful parts and the twists of the plot. Adam even made "vroom vroom" sounds when the speeders went by. At one point, she moved a hand in front of Adam's eyes to prevent him from seeing the violence. He tried swatting her hand away, and when she felt it was safe again for him to watch, she removed her hand.

Quinn noticed Bonnie wasn't as glued to the screen as the others were. He kept glancing around, as if worried about something. She scooted closer to him, hoping to lift his spirits. "Are you okay?"

Bonnie looked away from the TV. "Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm fine. This is a great movie, by the way."

Quinn smiled. "I always loved these movies. I've watched them all at least a hundred times."

"That's cool…" Bonnie trailed off, leaving them in an awkward silence. Quinn returned her attention to the screen.

Unknowingly, she dozed off towards the end of the first movie. Her head fell onto Bonnie's shoulder, and by the time she woke up again, it was the middle of the second movie. She immediately checked her phone and found the time.

"Five fifty!" she whisper-shouted, not wanting to disturb the animatronics. She quietly got up and grabbed her backpack, shoving the contents back inside. "Alright guys," she announced. "I've gotta go. I'll leave the disc with you, so you can keep watching." Freddy paused the movie and she kept talking. "Chica, make sure you cover Adam's eyes at the scary parts."

Chica nodded. "Be safe on the drive home!"

Quinn smiled. "Thanks! I don't drive though."

"You don't have a license?" Freddy asked.

"I have a license, just not a car."

"Okay… well, walk safely."

"Bye guys!" Before leaving, she went over and gently kissed the top of Adam's head. He stood up and hugged her legs, as usual. She waved to the rest of the animatronics.

Quinn left, and they once again became absorbed in the movie. She didn't forget to lock up –that was the one thing she could be responsible with.

~X~

Bonnie watched the movie, but he didn't pay much attention. True, he enjoyed it a great deal, but he was mostly focusing on… Quinn. He hated to admit it, but he liked the human's company, even if she didn't talk to him much. If he had a heart, it would have stopped the moment she put her head on his shoulder.

Maybe Chica was right. Maybe he did have a crush on the night guard.

Aaaand scene. Once again, I apologize for leaving out all you guys who favorited and followed. I meant to edit it into the end of the second chapter, but my computer hates me, and it didn't work. Anybody catch that little hint of a Bonnie romance at the end? It'd be hard to miss it, if you're paying attention. If you're not… shame on you! Just kidding, I'm sure you're a beautiful person. And would you look at that, updating the day after another update. Go me. Any input is appreciated, positive or negative. I'll stop talking now… err, typing, and I'll work on writing some more about Adam and his adorableness. :3
