The animatronic slowly whirred into life. It was difficult to describe what it was like to wake up for the first time. At first, it was a humming noise. Then, the noise began to differentiate into murmurs, different voices talking excitedly. The humming began to fade, and the circuits and servos began to work. Slowly, cautiously, carefully, Bonnie the bunny opened his eyes. "Hello." Bonnie's ears detected a sound and turned to see who had spoken to him. An elderly man with twinkling eyes stood next to him, smiling in anticipation. "Hello," Bonnie replied almost automatically. "My name is Mr. Fazworth." Bonnie stuck his hand out and shook Mr. Fazworth's hand. "Hello! My name is Bonnie!" Mr. Fazworth beamed a bright smile and turned to a man standing by his side. "William, you did it. I can't thank you enough." The engineer, William, shared Mr. Fazworth's wide smile. "Anytime, Henry."
Bonnie stared at the poster in awe. The poster depicted himself holding a guitar and winking. By his side was a brown bear with a microphone, a yellow chicken holding a cupcake, and a red fox with a hook. On the top of the poster were the words "Let's Party!" Bonnie stared at the other animals on the poster and wondered who they were before deciding to ask Mr. Fazworth. Bonnie grabbed the poster, tearing it off of the wall, and ran down the hallway to the office. As he neared the office, he could hear Mr. Fazworth's voice talking to the someone. "Bonnie would definitely be my favorite," Mr. Fazworth said. The statement made Bonnie smile in pride. "What about you, Scott?" Bonnie walked down the hall as quietly as he could, not wanting to interrupt the conversation. "Uh... Frankly, I think Foxy looks the best," said an unfamiliar voice.
Bonnie pressed his face against the office window, curious as to who the newcomer was. Inside was a man dressed in a security uniform with a nametag that read 'Scott.' Scott was clearly taken aback by the sudden appearance of the large, purple animatronic at the window. Mr. Fazworth turned around, greeting Bonnie with a warm smile. "Oh, hello Bonnie." Mr. Fazworth opened the door, walking out to meet him. "Scott, you can leave now. I'll see you tonight." Scott nodded and left the office, keeping a wary eye on Bonnie as he left. "What have you got there, Bonnie?" Suddenly remembering the reason he came to the office, Bonnie eagerly held up the poster he had taken. "Who are they?" He asked, pointing to the others. Mr. Fazworth smiled. "You'll meet them soon enough."
A few hours later…
The stage was mostly empty, and the room was dark. Fortunately, Bonnie had built in night vision, which automatically activated when the light went below a certain level. On stage, the workers had set up two additional animatronics, a bear and a chicken. Bonnie sat on the ground, staring up in awe at how calm and serene the animatronics on stage looked. Suddenly, there was a whirring and clicking sound, and the chicken blinked its eyes, coming to life. The chicken blinked a few times, Bonnie sat in the dark, watching the chicken come to life. The chicken saw his eyes glowing in the dark and walked carefully off of the stage towards him. "Hello!" she greeted in a peppy voice. "I'm Chica!"
Bonnie shot up from the ground. "Hi! I'm Bonnie!" Chica smiled at him. "Hello, Bonnie! Do you want to go explore?" Bonnie nodded eagerly "Yeah, let's go!" The animatronics clanked down the hallways, running to and fro, looking at everything with eager eyes. They failed to notice the third animatronic on the stage whir to life.
"Hey, cut that out Bonnie!" Scott chided in an annoyed tone. His voice was practically drowned out by the sound of metal slamming against the ground as the heavy security door repeatedly opened and closed, Bonnie playfully opening and closing the door. Chica was on the other side, playing with the light switch, turning it on and off again, laughing to herself. Suddenly, an authoritative voice cut through the air. "What on earth is that noise?" The occupants of the office froze as a figure lumbered into view. The figure was a large brown bear, holding a microphone in one hand and using his other hand to hold his small black top hat on top of his head. "Oh… that was me, sorry," Bonnie muttered sheepishly. The bear gave a deep sigh. "Ah, it's fine. Freddy Fazbear," the bear said as he introduced himself, sticking out his hand. Bonnie hesitated before shaking Freddy's hand. "I'm Bonnie." Chica smiled at the two. "Aw, look at you two shaking hands like adults. I'm Chica, by the way." Freddy nodded. "Pleasure to meet you two. I have a feeling we'll get to know each other very well over the course of our performances."
"So… where's the last one?" Bonnie asked Scott out of the blue. "Who? Foxy? Um…. check Pirate's Cove." Bonnie nodded eagerly before turning to Freddy and Chica. "Let's go!" The animatronics romped down the hall, heading to find the last of their group. Scott rolled his eyes before grabbing the security tablet he was issued, tapping around on the camera system boredly. Suddenly, the phone on his desk rang, which startled Scott a little bit. "Hello?" He asked hesitantly. "Scott! It's me, William. Listen, I need you to check something for me."
Meanwhile, Bonnie skidded to a halt in front of a stage. The stage was small and tidy, complete with purple curtains sprinkled with white stars. Chica almost ran into him, and Freddy walked in, shaking his head at the two's energy. The stage was separated from the main stage, but the was almost equal in size. There was a mural painted on the wall of a large island, surrounded by a large ocean, with small ships sailing past in the background. A sign hung above the stage that read, "Welcome to Pirate's Cove." Bonnie hesitantly climbed up on the stage, turning to see if the others would follow him. Freddy sighed and climbed up the stairs on the side of the stage while Chica hoisted herself up from the front. Bonnie pulled back the curtains and stared into the darkness, unsure of what he would find.
