Time to see what Mike has in store for Amanda.
Mike leaned back as the main power went out, dimming the lights and making the doorways pitch black.
"What was that?" Amanda asked.
"There's limited power here at night," he replied with a shrug. "If they kept up the main power, it'd go dark within an hour."
"Why is the power such a big deal, anyway?" She grinned mischievously. "Unless you're afraid of the dark."
"Only what's in it," Mike informed her grimly.
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
Instead of replying, he showed her the tablet screen, currently focused on the Show Stage.
Bonnie was gone.

As soon as the clock struck midnight, Bonnie and Chica starting snickering.
"Oh, man, that was Mike?" Bonnie asked.
"What a wimp!" Chica agreed.
"He was seven years old," Freddy informed them plainly. Many young children had been afraid of them during their shows, it didn't surprise him that a child was terrified when they walked around. He didn't see the humor in the fact that it was Michael.
"I'm gonna go say hi," Bonnie informed them with a grin. "I wanna see what other juicy stories about Mike his sister's got." With that, he made his way down the hall. When he was almost in the doorway, however, the hall light turned on.
He had a moment to see Mike looking nervous with his sister right behind him, mirroring his look, before the door slammed down in his face.

"What the hell was that?!" Amanda yelled, staring at the closed door.
"This is why I haven't said anything to Mom and Dad," Mike explained. "These animatronics… at night, they come to life, and… Basically, they think we're endoskeletons out of the animatronic suits. That's against the rules here, though, so they're gonna try to get us in one, but… Those suits are filled with crossbeams and wires."
"So… we'd die?" Amanda gulped, earning a nod from her brother. "Why haven't you quit yet?!"
"I need the money," he said, leaving out the fact that he got paid less than minimum wage. "We need to last until 6am. They have to go back to the Show Stage then. But for six hours…"
"We need to keep them out," Amanda whispered.
"That's right." Mike nodded. Raising his voice, masking it in fake nervousness, he said, "We can use the cameras to keep an eye on them, but the blind spots are in the doorway. I'll turn them on if you can't find anyone, because we need to keep them out."
Hitting the hall light button again, he saw that Bonnie was still there. He just hope he'd been heard.

Bonnie stared for a moment, wondering why Mike was acting so scared. He heard muffled voices, but he couldn't tell what they were saying. When Mike raised his voice, however, he understood. Grinning, he headed back to the Dining Area. He had to let Freddy and Chica know. First, though, he had to inform Foxy. Otherwise, the pirate wouldn't be prepared to slam into the door.
"Hey, Foxy?" he called, not entering the cove, but calling through the curtain.
"Aye?" the fox asked.
"Mike's sister is here, and he's playing a little trick on her," the rabbit informed him.
"What kind o' trick?" Foxy asked.
"She thinks we're going to try to kill them," Bonnie answered. "You ready to play a game?"
Foxy's head slipped through the curtain, bearing a wide grin. He, like the others, felt the guilt about the killing part, but this was a game where no one would get hurt. And he had never been more ready.
Satisfied, Bonnie made his way to the Dining Area, ready to relay the plan to the others.

"Mike, we need to get out of here," Amanda urged. Mike shook his head adamantly.
"Are you nuts?" he asked. "At least here we've got doors to protect us. Out there, we're sitting ducks." He motioned to the left door that he stood by, having opened it when he saw Bonnie leave.
"What should I be doing?" she choked out.
"You man the camera. I've got the doors," he replied seriously, hiding the tone of amusement in his voice. He'd never seen Amanda this terrified before. Served her right.
Amanda nodded, head trembling as she looked down at the tablet. She immediately screamed and jumped back. Mike walked over to look over her shoulder. He fought to avoid grinning. Bonnie was staring into the camera in Parts and Services, mouth slightly open and eyes nowhere to be seen. That image had given him nightmares. Now, Amanda would have the same. Quickly switching to the Show Stage, she looked up at him.
"What?"
"The chicken's gone…" she whispered.
"Chica only stays to the right, and Bonnie only stays to the left," Mike supplied helpfully. Amanda nodded softly and switched to the bathroom camera, where Chica was leaning against the wall, looking up into the camera.
Damn, they're moving fast, he thought. Then again, the point was to scare to pants off his sister as much as they could. Amanda was a pretty brave person, but she was also smart. She knew to be afraid.
"Does the fox come to life, too?" she asked.
"Yeah," Mike replied. "He doesn't like the camera very much, so you should probably check that camera."
She did and her face fell. Foxy's head was peeking out of the curtain. He was already in his first stage of leaving. Mike wondered if Freddy would get in on the fun. Freddy was more mature than the others, so he might not find their game of terror as amusing as the rest did. Mike really hoped he would participate, though. The bear was definitely the most terrifying when it came to hunting the guard. He always stayed just barely in view, leaving the paranoia of trying to find him.
"We don't have any hope if they get inside, do we?" the woman asked.
"They'll probably just take one of us and come back for the other," Mike said, making his voice shake. "They have to get another suit ready, right?" He looked at her. "So, if they get me… don't try to come after me. You stay in here and stay alive, got it?"
She nodded. "A-And you do the same."
"Got it."

Chica glanced over at the kitchen door, still standing in full view of the camera. She didn't have very many custom pizzas to make, but there were a few. She shrugged and walked into the kitchen once the Dining Area camera switched off. She'd leave the scares to Bonnie and Foxy for a while. She had work to do.
Rummaging through the cupboards for the supplies she needed, she noticed the loud clanking noises made. She hadn't paid much attention to it for quite some time, but then she remembered that when the camera was attempted to focus on the kitchen, the sounds could be heard. A small series of clicking came from one of the corners, so she glanced up to see the camera light blinking rapidly. That was what happened when they tried to turn the kitchen camera on. Shrugging, she continued her work until she heard something that sounded like 'what the hell was that' come from the office. She smirked. Even while working, she was still able to play the game.
She had to, after all. She had to make up for what Freddy would have done, because she knew he wouldn't join them. He probably thought this whole 'revenge against Amanda' plan that Mike had was just childish.
Sighing, she went into the walk in freezer to grab the sausages. She briefly wondered how far Mike was going to take this.

Freddy watched as Bonnie exited Parts and Services to return to the Dining Area as the camera switched on. Bonnie and Chica had been very active, moving from place to place frequently, though he hadn't heard Foxy run down the hall yet. He mused on this idea of Michael's.
Revenge wasn't something he condoned, though Amanda had revealed quite a few embarrassing things about the night guard, things that Freddy had remembered. Michael had every right to be angry. Knowing siblings the way he did, having entertained many for birthday parties before 1987, he knew that sibling rivalry sometimes went very far, and he got the sense that this was true with Amanda and Michael.
After a moment of thought, Freddy Fazbear stepped off the stage.
Yeah, I know this is up really soon, but I wanted to get this out. Plus, writing helps me calm down, and the parking garage at the place where my parents work collapsed this afternoon. They're both okay, thank god, but it's still really scary to think about. My dad works in the basement of the place, right under the collapsed parking garage. Luckily, it didn't break through the ground floor, so the basement is still intact, thought with moving debris and stuff, who knows what could happen? My dad's home and okay, though, and my mom works in a different part of the building, so I know she's okay. They're probably sending my dad into another part of the building to work tomorrow, so… yeah. But I'm still a little stressed at all the 'what ifs' so writing was good therapy.
Anyway, now that that little rant's over, let's see what's in store~ Until next time~
