I woke up, eyes barely open. I looked at my watch. 9:00 PM. "It's only 9?" I muttered. Well, might as well get there early. No harm in that, right? I got up and got dressed. I snatched my car keys off the top my nightstand, and went out to my car.

~Time Skip~

I arrived at Freddy's at about 9:15. I got out of my car, and was surprised to find the manager at the door. "Hi, Diane." The manager said. For some reason, he seemed to have a relieved look on his face.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" I asked.

"Oh, not at all. I'm just glad to see you survived."

"Wait, you mean..."

"Of course I knew! You think I wouldn't know something about my own pizzeria?" He mocked. I bubbled with frustration.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I began to grow angry.

"You see, if I did tell you, you might have gotten scared and quit right away. We need a new security guard, and this was the best way."

"I-" I was just about to quit right then, when I thought back to Foxy. I can't leave him like that... I realized. He might get punished again. "Never mind." I added quickly.

"Alright then. Why don't you come on inside? Nobody's here right now, and we can have a little chat." He gestured me inside.

We sat down at a table near the entrance window. "So, what do you think of this place so far?" He asked me.

"Well, it's certainly different that what I had anticipated... this place has changed a ton since I was a child, that's for sure." I looked around. My eyes landed on Pirates Cove. I quickly turned away, trying not to draw any attention.

"Ah, so I see you went in and saw Foxy." The manager looked at me, smiling. "We know that you fixed him up. I'm just surprised that he didn't attack you in the process. Y'know, what with the Bite of 1987 and all..."

"Yea, I'm kinda surprised too..." I stared into nothingness. A question popped into my head, and I couldn't help but ask it. "Do... do you think the animatronics have... feelings? Y'know, like emotions and stuff."

"I like to believe so, but its hard to say they do. They're really just robots, after all." The manager frowned.

"Oh."

"Were you scared when you found out about the animatronics moving around at night?" The manager asked me.

"Well, to be honest, at first I was. But then... I calmed myself down a bit, and did my best to live." I lied.

"That's awesome. You might be a better night guard than Mike was." He added.

"You think so?" I began to question my skill. But wait. I wouldn't have lived without Foxy, so I couldn't be better than Mike at all...

"I know so. Hey, I've got an idea. Lets go have a visit with Foxy. I think he'd like to thank you for fixing him up." The manager smiled. If only he knew what really happened... I thought.

We walked over to Pirates Cove and opened the starry, purple curtains. Foxy sat there lifelessly, his face a blank expression. "I'll leave you two alone." The manager smiled and shut the curtains, leaving.

Almost immediately Foxy gained a happy expression. He reached over and hugged me tightly. "Ye came back." He smiled.

"Of course I did. I wanted to see you again." I smiled back.

"Ye know..." Foxy's expression grew very serious. "The others... they ain't really bad. They just don't know what they're doing. Ye see, there be rules. Rules that state that no endo-skeleton be permitted to be outta his or her suit. When the others see somethin' at night, they think it might be an endo-skeleton in disguise. Therefore, they try to put it in a suit, ye see... A Freddy suit, to be specific. But, bein' that they really are a human, puttin' them in the suit will... well, let's just say it be very ugly." Foxy shuddered.

"You mean they don't really know I'm a human?" I asked.

"Of course not. They're good creatures, they just be very obedient to the rules, and they be very confused. In reality, they don't mean any harm to ye. In their perspective, they're just doing their job."

"That clears a lot of things up..." I added. There was silence for a little while. I looked at my watch. It was 11:55.

Suddenly, the manager pulled open the curtains. Foxy went back to his lifeless stare. "I'm going to go home now, Diane." The manager told me. "You best get to your office, if you know what's good for you." He smirked.

"You're right." I said.

The manager turned to leave. "Oh, and Diane? Good luck." The manager added and left. I turned back to Foxy.

"I'm not gonna go to my office. I think we might as well just go back down there tonight." I suggested.

"That seems to be a good idea to me." Foxy agreed. He opened up the hatch, and I crawled down the tunnel. Foxy trailed behind me.

We entered the secret room. Foxy sat down at the computers, and I sat on top of the box. "It's almost like you're doing my job for me, isn't it?" I laughed.

"In a way, yes." Foxy chuckled.

I yawned loudly and closed my eyes. I rested my head on the box, and dozed off.

~Time Skip~

I woke up slowly, still half-asleep. I looked at my watch. 4:50. I slept through my shift. I realized.

"Yer cute when ye sleep." I heard Foxy say. I chuckled.

"So, what went on during my naptime?" I got up and walked over to the computer screens, staring over Foxy's shoulders at what went on above.

"Nothing much, really. I kept an eye on ol' Freddy. He can tend to be kind of crafty when it comes to this place, so I had to make sure he wasn't coming anywhere near us." I began to get worried. I think Foxy could tell, because he turned towards me and said, "I promise ye, I ain't gonna let him harm ye. Nor the others." he took hold of my hand. He stared me in the eyes, and I stared back. There was silence for a while.

"I, uh, I apologize for what I am about to be doin' to ye." Foxy said. I gained worry for a second. Is Foxy going to kill me? I grew fearful. Then, Foxy leaned in and kissed me. He backed away slowly. He smiled slightly, and turned back towards the computers. I stood there in awe. Did... did Foxy really just kiss me?

I heard my watch beep. It was 6:00 AM. "Well, yer shift be over, lassie." Foxy nodded at me. "Ye best be on yer way."

~At Home~

I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror. Does Foxy like me? Does he... does he love me? I stared at myself in content. I don't know if I like him back, though. It just seems... unnatural... no. It doesn't matter if it's unnatural. Foxy is sweet, kind, and caring. Sweeter than any man I've ever met. I want to be with him. I crawled into bed and drifted off to sleep.

~With Foxy~

"Oh, no. Ye just screwed up real bad, Foxy. Now Chica ain't gonna ever like ye back. You've ruined it for yerself, Foxy. Ye done screwed it up."

Author's Note: I'm sorry, I had to add that last little bit in. It was needed for conflict! Conflict only makes a story better! Anyways, will Foxy end up being with Diane? Or will Foxy stick with Chica? Stay tuned to find out! More chapters coming soon! Love you all!
