Quick note in regards to the older animatronics. They'll be addressed as the older "siblings" of the new animatronics. Like Toy Bonnie is Bonnie's little brother, and so on.


Jeremy and Jack drove themselves to the nearest non-Freddy restaurant: Fran and Stan's Diner. As they pulled up and got a space close to the building, Jack thought it looked more like a Coney Island restaurant than a diner.

They got out of the car and walked up to the building. Jeremy held the door for Jack, and Jack returned the favor in the small vestibule. A woman with long curly brown hair and brown eyes, who seemed to be in her forties, came up to the pair.

"Jeremy! It's been a few days." The woman said, hugging Jeremy, "Who's your friend?"
"Sorry I haven't been in the past few days Fran," Jeremy started, "And this is Jack. He's the new night guard at Freddy's. Jack, this is Fran, co-owner of this diner. She does waiting certain days, and her husband cooks the food."
Jack shook her hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

With the pleasantries out of the way, she sat the duo at a table in the corner, and took their orders. Jeremy ordered a BLT with a side of fries and a Coke, and Jack ordered a hamburger with the identical side and beverage as Jeremy. As soon as Fran walked away, his face turned stone-cold serious.

"So I assume you know Mr. Fazbear asked me if I could room with you." He said, matter-of-factly, "Now he told me why and it seems crazy, but I'll roll with it. The man signs my paychecks after all. Against my better judgment, I'll let you stay with me."
Jack felt as if a bomb had been dropped on him, but in a good way, people do care about others! "No, I didn't, but thank you! Trust me, I know how to cook and clean, so I won't be completely worthless."
Jeremy's tune seemed to change into a bit of a happier one, "Fantastic! I'll drop you back off there before I go to work, it's only a few blocks from the pizzeria. Now we'll need to go shopping for clothes because you…"
"Stick out like a sore thumb? Yeah, this outfit really does scream of not normal."

Fran interrupted their conversation with their order. They began to talk while they ate, and were laughing like best friends throughout the whole meal.


Meanwhile, at Freddy's…

The animatronics were given their own little "lunch break" at 12:30. By now most of the kids had gone to the arcade or had left, seeing that the reason half the place was full on a Monday morning was due to a field trip.

In one of the numerous "Party Rooms", the toy animatronics were sitting around a table, relaxing and enjoying the fact they wouldn't have to be back on stage until 1.

Toy Freddy was chatting with Toy Chica when he realized Toy Bonnie was in a daze. He wouldn't have been aware but the bunny kept sighing, dreamily, as if thinking of a crush.

"Bonnie," Toy Freddy began, "What is your deal? You've been acting weird since that new guy was with you. Did he tamper with your settings?"
The blue bunny snapped out of his daydream and replied, "No he didn't! He's just… just…"
"Cute?" Toy Chica said, finishing a slice of pizza, "I noticed you had a whole 'love at first sight' thing going on when he first walked in with Jeremy."
"Y-yes that's it." Toy Bonnie replied, blushing, "How'd you know?"
"Just a hunch. And besides you don't think I noticed you playing louder when he looked to the stage?"
"I want you to stay away from him."

Toy Bonnie and Toy Chica were surprised to hear the words roll out of their friend's mouth.

"Why?" Toy Bonnie asked, almost on the verge of tears.
"I don't trust him. I just don't trust any new guards." He replied coldly back.
"Or is it because you're just upset that you thought you and Fritz had a serious thing going, but he was just looking for a fling and some quick pay?" Toy Chica brought up.
Toy Freddy's face went grim, "No."

Toy Chica was about to pester him more, even though she knew very well she shouldn't, when the old animatronics came into the room, to join them for their break. They were accompanied with Mangle, and they all began to converse.

"What is it today?" Freddy asked with a sigh.
"There's a new night guard brother, and I don't trust him." He replied.
"Oh really, what's his name?"
"Jack! Jack Smith." Toy Bonnie replied almost too enthusiastically.
"How do you know?" Bonnie asked his younger, annoying brother. He wasn't too annoying, but just enough to rub Bonnie the wrong way here and there.
"He introduced himself to me." Toy Bonnie replied, beaming with pride.
"Really? He did?" Bonnie asked, skeptical.
"He ran right up to him because he's in love!" Toy Chica said in a teasing tone.
"Shut up Chica!" Toy Bonnie said, blushing.

By now all the animatronics were paying attention to the conversation. Especially since Toy Bonnie has been known to get overly excited about newcomers. Especially the night guards, whom have been male thus far.

"Now Bon Bon," Bonnie began, using his brother's nickname, "Why don't I meet this guy and you might get to know him first?"
"Yes brother, I know." He said, almost defeated.
"You know I'm doing this for your own safety. I don't want another Fritz situation here."
"HEY!"
"Sorry Toy Freddy."
"How about we all go meet him tonight?" Mangle suggested, "That'd be fun."
"Wouldn't it shock the lad?" Foxy asked.
"Probably not," Toy Bonnie interjected, "He seems like he could handle it."

After more debate, it was decided that they would all go and meet Jack on his first night.


Jeremy's Apartment, 11:30 PM

Jack was dropped off at the apartment around 1, right before Jeremy went back to work. It was a small two bedroom, one bath apartment, and boy was it messy! Before even sitting down, he put his uniform in a "clean" corner, and began to organize.

When Jeremy was back by 7, the place was organized, and nothing was on the floor. Needless to say, Jeremy was thanking Jack profusely. In celebration, they had a feast. Of instant ramen, and toast. Even though Jack thought it was horrifically anticlimactic, he appreciated the gesture.

Once dinner was through, Jeremy had given Jack some advice, which was to check the cameras. The animatronics were friendly, so he didn't need to be too concerned with them, but in case of a break-in, he should be aware.

The hours flew by, and then it was time for Jack to go. Jeremy insisted on driving him, but he figured he could walk, considering it was only two blocks away.

Dressed in his uniform, Jack was about to leave when Jeremy told him something.

"I almost forgot to mention two things," Jeremy said, "First off, one of my co-workers will be calling you. Patrick Great. He does it with all the newbies, it's a rite-of-passage sort of deal. Secondly, I left you a baton in the office, just in case an intruder does get in, and the animatronics cannot stop him."
"Uh, thanks for the information." Jack said, "I'll see you tomorrow."

Walking out of the complex and onto the street, Jack felt great. Just a little nervous, this is still Freddy Fazbear's Pizza after all, but pretty calm. In about twenty minutes he made it to the restaurant, about ten minutes before his shift is set to begin. He would've been there sooner, but there was construction going on in the main road, so he was forced to take a detour.

Heading up to the building, it was empty, some lights were still on, but nobody was there. Grabbing his keys, he unlocked the front of the building, and then immediately locked it once inside.

With a chill, he walked to the office, and once there, sat down and waited for the call. Sure enough, right at the turn of twelve, the phone rang. With the hit of a few keys, the call was now on speaker.

"Uh, hello? Hello, hello? Uh, hello and welcome to your new job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. I'm Patrick Great, uh, Jeremy should have told you I was calling?" the voice on the other line said.
"Yes Patrick, he did." Jack replied back, still in disbelief he was talking to the infamous 'Phone Guy', "My name is…"
"Jack Smith." Patrick replied before Jack could finish, "Sorry I couldn't see you in person today, I was on the later shift after you came in. Now to explain the job…"
"I already got it down." Jack said, "Check the vents, main hall, cameras, and wind up the music box. The animatronics can roam around at night, as well as during the day, and can visit my office. For the most part I assume they're friendly. Especially Toy Bonnie."
After a few moments Patrick seemed to have re-gathered himself and said, "Wow. I had no idea you knew so much. That's, uh, a little strange. Most of our guards have… You know what, yes, most of the animatronics are friendly. Though I'd watch out for Toy Bonnie. He's very… obsessive, especially when it comes to newcomers. However there's one you really need to watch out for. So, I think that's it. Uh, you should be golden. Uh, check the lights, put on the Freddy head if you need to, uh, keep the music box wound up, piece of cake. Have a good night, and I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Talk to you tomorrow Patrick." Jack added in quickly before he hung up.


So. This was it, the big time. Checking the clock, it was only about one, though that seemed long for Phone Guy's call. Then again this was the real world, not a game where the hours passed by in a minute and some odd seconds.

Putting his feet up on the desk and picking up the monitor, he wound up the music box, and switched to a few other cameras. Everyone was still in place, and everything was fine.

Getting comfortable, he turned on his phone's music app and put it to shuffle. It started off with some Prince, very fitting for the time period. "Let's Go Crazy" was the song, and he turned it up full blast. He then got up and started to pace the office/dance to the music, though he remembered to wind up the music box here and there.

Little did he know that the vents were already clanking with the animatronics inside them, and that he had some visitors outside his door, in the hall.
