Chica looked at him. "Why'd you do that? What if he doesn't come back?"

Freddy shook his head. "He won't."

Bonnie looked at the two. "Maybe he will."

"Maybe."

I wasn't so sure if coming back was a good idea.

But, I'd get a little more money for working an extra night. Possibly enough to pay for the hotel bills.

-NIGHT SIX-

I walked into the office and sat down.

I didn't play with anything, no door lights, no post-its, no camera.

I- I just waited.

I heard a voice. "Let's kill the new nightguard fast, because we let the other one go."

Wait, did they think I left? I promised I'd come back..

I stepped out. "There is no new night guard.. It's still me."

Bonnie hopped onto me. "You came back! Why'd you come back..?"

"Well, I said I would."

Chica walked into the hallway. "Wh- You came back?" Freddy came in too. "Wait.. Y-"
I was tired of being asked the same question. "Yes, yes, I did." I grabbed Freddy's hat and put it on. "Hey, give that back!" He snarled.
I ran out past him in the hall. "Try and catch me!" I laughed as I ran, and the others did too. It was- Strange. Just as Freddy was going to grab me I threw it to Bonnie, who threw it to Chica, who threw it to Bonnie, who threw it to me. I kept running, until Foxy popped up. "Here, take his hat!" I threw it to Foxy, who looked down at it. "Wha?"
Freddy knocked into him and the hat flew up. I tried to jump atop Freddy and grab it, but he grabbed me and the hat. "Tha- That was fun." He chuckled, and for a second I swore he smiled.

He put his hat on and set me down. "Now back to business. You came back, which is pretty honest."

"Yeah, I did.."

Freddy looked at me. "And we would've killed you if it wasn't for Bonnie and Foxy.. And you being scared of Bonnie.."

"Hey! I wasn't scared!"

Bonnie chuckled. "You cried when you saw me."

"Okay, maybe I was scared. You threw me under a table!"

Bonnie laughed harder. "Yeah, and let you sleep while I did your job.."
I gave in. "Okay, yes, Freddy. I was scared."

Freddy nodded. "Okay. Well, if you were honest enough to stay another night, even after us threatening to kill you, I think you can stay."

I was surprised. "Stay? I was doing this for hotel bills, how much is overtime?"

Freddy laughed. "Fifty cents."

"Okay, maybe I will stay. Couldn't be too bad here."

"It isn't, kid. You can do anything here during the day, and anything during the night."

I tried to smile. "Okay..!"

"You must be pretty tired after all that running. Bonnie, take 'em to the office."

Bonnie picked me up. "Okay!"

As he walked me to the office, I asked "Why is Freddy so calm today?"

He looked at me. "Well, you told the truth about coming back." He laughed. "And I spent all morning talking to him about it."

"Oh- Thanks!"

Bonnie smiled. "Anytime, friend."

That word hit me hard. Is that how they thought of me..? A friend? They'd seemed more calm about everything.

Bonnie took off my hat and put it on again. "Well, I'm back to being nightguard." He chuckled.

I fell asleep almost immediately.

After all of this, I really trusted them. They'd had several chances to kill me, and didn't use them. Foxy had tried, but they sorted it out. And now everything else was sorted out, so Bonnie was right. Friends.

I woke up to the alarm going off. "Sh-h." Bonnie said. "You can sleep in, it's a weekend."

I nodded and fell asleep again.
