After my unsuccessful and pretty much useless meeting with Mike I went home and cleaned myself up before flicking on the tv and falling asleep on the couch to whatever show was on when I turned the tv on with all sorts of thoughts rushing through my head and that nightmare I had playing over and over again.

Hours later...

When I finally woke up I looked at my watch and saw that was only ten-thirty so I decided to hop in the shower before I had to go to work.

After I got out and brushed my teeth I once again looked at my clock and it was barely past eleven...

"I can't believe I actually want midnight to come" I mumbled before quickly throwing my security uniform on and making my way into the kitchen to make a sandwich before I left...

I grabbed the two end pieces of bread seeing as how that's all I had left and opened my fridge realizing I only I had one slice of cheese and an almost empty pack of bologna left...

"It'll do" I mumbled before sighing and pulling them out to make my half assed sandwich.

After that I made my way out to my truck and took off towards the pizzeria.

As I was driving I still couldn't help but to think about what happened to Jason, I mean sure the guy was an asshole and he shouldn't have been there in the first place but the way Mangle bit a chunk out of his head...

I was so lost in thought I didn't even realize I had pulled into the parking lot of the pizzeria...

The first thing I noticed though was a car parked in back of the parking lot just beyond the street light, and it looked awfully familiar.

I parked and climbed out of my truck and looked in the direction of the parked car, I was debating on walking towards it just to confirm or deny if I had seen it before but my instincts told me not to so I didn't.

I instead made my way into the pizzeria like I always do, locked the door behind me, and made my way to the office without giving the show stage a glance.

Once I had finally reached the office the first thing I noticed was the usual abundance of trash on the desk

"These people really need to learn how to clean up after themselves" I muttered as I walked to the desk and used my arm to swipe all of trash into the trash can beside it.

After, I sat down and waited for the usual phone call about the animatronics and blah blah blah...

(*Ring Ring* *Ring Ring* *Ring Ring*)

"Hello hello! See? I told you you wouldn't have any problems!" Phone Guy started "Did...uh... Did Foxy ever appear in the hallway?" He asked "Probably not. I was just curious. Like I said, he was always my favorite. They tried to remake Foxy, ya know? Uh, they thought the first one was too scary, so they redesigned him to be more kid-friendly and put him in Kid's Cove. To keep the toddlers entertained, you know... But kids these days just can't keep their hands to themselves. The staff literally has to put Foxy back together after every shift. So eventually they stopped trying and left him as some 'take apart and put back together' attraction. Now he's just a mess of parts. I think the employees refer to him as just "The Mangle." Uh..." He exclaimed, I sat there taking in everything he had just said

"So that explains why that fox is just a mess of parts" I said to myself

"Oh, hey, before I go, uh, I wanted to ease your mind about any rumors you might have heard lately. You know how these local stories come and go and seldom mean anything." Phone Guy started "I can personally assure you that, whatever is going on out there, and however tragic it may be, has nothing to do with our establishment." He continued

"Ha, bullshit" I said to myself

"It's just all rumor and speculation... People trying to make a buck. You know... Uh, our guard during the day has reported nothing unusual. And he's on watch from opening til close." Phone Guy said

"Okay, well anyway, hang in there and I'll talk to you tomorrow." He finished before the phone went silent

After the phone call ended I shook my head before picking up the tablet and flipping through the cameras, the first thing I noticed was that all the animatronics who were supposed go be on the show stage were already missing...

"Fuck" I said as I continued to flip through the cameras trying to find the missing animatronics.

You would have figured I would have been use to it by now but I almost dropped my tablet on the floor when I switched it to the Party Room 4 camera and saw Toy Bonnie with his face pressed against it.

What, he caught me off guard...

Anyways, after I found him I continued to flip through to find the others.

Toy Freddy was nowhere to be found so I didn't know what he was up to, but I did end up finding Toy Chica...what was weird though was the fact that she was walking into the women's restroom.

I mean even though it was weird to think that these animatronics had...parts...they shouldn't, it still wasn't as weird as them being alive and out for my blood so I just ignored it and switched the camera to the Parts & Service room to see what the others were up to.

Surprisingly none of them had moved from their spots yet, I was a little disappointed by this because for some odd reason I was actually looking forward to talking to them...or at least Freddy seeing how most of the time he's the only one that actually shows up here.

After, I decided to see if "The Mangle" as the guy on the phone put it or the Balloon Kid had moved yet, Mangle wasn't in her spot in the Kid Cove but Balloon Boy was still in the Game Room.

After I found them I sat the tablet down on the desk and looked around the dirty old office before sighing, as I looked around something caught my eye...the desk drawer that was locked the previous night.

I grabbed the handle trying to open it but alas...it was still locked.

"Crap..." I muttered as I continued to mess with it

"What are you doing?" I heard a voice ask

"Ahhhh!" I screamed as I struggled to pull my nightstick off of my belt only to have my chair slide out from underneath me sending me down to the hard tiled floor

The owner of the voice, Freddy, quickly walked over to the desk and looked down at me...

"Are you ok?" He asked as I dizzily sat there trying to get the feeling back in my ass...

"You almost gave me heart attack!" I exclaimed

"My apologies" Freddy apologized "Walked in and saw you fiddling with something under the desk" he said, I awkwardly looked at him.

He probably didn't know how weird his last sentence sounded, but I did.

I decided to just ignore it to avoid making the conversation more awkward.

"I was trying to open that desk drawer, but it's locked" I replied as I pointed to the locked desk drawer

Freddy walked behind the desk and looked at the drawer before trying to open it, I watched him mess with it as I climbed to my feet.

Eventually after he realized he probably wasn't going to be able to open it without breaking the lock he gave up.

"I don't want to break it" Freddy said before walking back around the desk "And you might want to wind the music box" he continued, my eyes went wide as I quickly grabbed the tablet and switched it to the Prize Corner camera with barley enough time to wind it back up.

"Holy shit" I said as I started to calm down "Thanks for reminding me" I continued as I looked back up towards the bear, he nodded.

I sat there flipping through the cameras again just to check on everyone...Toy Freddy was still nowhere to be seen, Toy Bonnie was now crouched in front of the vent in Party Room 2, which wasn't good, Toy Chica wasn't anywhere to be found either so I assumed that she was still hiding out in the bathroom, Manlge was hanging from the ceiling in the Prize Corner and that dumbass balloon kid still hasn't moved.

After I found everyone I sat the tablet down and decided to ask Freddy if he knew why Toy Chica liked the bathroom so much.

"Soooo" I started "Do you know why Toy Chica likes hanging out in the bathroom?" I asked, Freddy looked a little confused by my question

"No, but I don't think what she does in there is any of our business anyways" He replied

"I know that it's just a little weird seeing as how you guys don't have...you know...the right tools...in order to be able to use the bathroom" I said trying my best not to offend the bear, Freddy looked down at himself before nervously chuckling

"Oh uh...yeah we don't do we" He said nervously, I was confused at his sudden nervousness but didn't want to push him and make him mad or something so I just changed the subject.

"Freddy?" I said curiously, he finally looked back up at me when he heard me say his name

"Yes?" He said

"What did you do with Jason's body?" I asked, Freddy cleared his throat

"I took care of it, so don't worry" He replied

"Yeah but I mean what did you do with it?" I asked again

"It doesn't matter, like I said I took care of it" He replied this time with more annoyance in his voice, I just nodded as to not push him anymore

"Alright, sorry for asking" I said, Freddy sighed

"It's ok, just know that I did take care of it and you'll be fine" He said, I nodded

"Ok, I trust you" I said, Freddy gave me a small smile after that

We were cut off from talking when we heard footsteps approaching down the dark hallway, I quickly picked up my flashlight and shone it down the hallway only to see Toy Chica cover her eyes.

I immediately lowered the flashlight as she finished her walk in

"I'm sorry" I apologized, Chica nodded as she blinked a few times to try and get rid of the blurriness in her vision

"It's ok, happens more than you think" She replied

"So what's up?" I asked, Chica shrugged

"Nothing much, I just wanted to come see what you were doing" She replied

"Sitting here checking cameras, winding music boxes, and talking to Freddy" I replied "So same old same old" I continued, Chica nodded

"The others haven't made it here yet?" She asked, I shook my head

"Not-" I started but was cut off when I heard rattling in the right vent "-Yet" I finished

"Sorry" Toy Chica said, I shone the flashlight at the vent and saw Toy Bonnie getting ready to crawl out.

I quickly grabbed the Freddy mask and threw it on as Bonnie crawled out of the vent...

"I was sure I saw Mr. Naked Endo come in here" Bonnie started as he looked around "Have you seen him?" He asked as he looked at the three of us, we all shook our heads

"Nope, haven't seen him" Freddy replied, that's when Bonnie looked at me before coming closer to the desk.

He leaned over the desk until his face was right up against the Freddy mask, Freddy and Toy Chica both started to get really nervous...

"Freddy did you lose some weight?" Bonnie finally asked as he backed up, I mustered up enough courage to nod in response "That's really good, keep it up!" He continued, I nodded again before Bonnie turned again to walk out of the office "Tell Mr. Naked Endo I'm looking for him if you see him" he finished as he walked out of the room

"Will do" Freddy said before turning back towards me, I slowly took the mask off before setting it back at my side "Guess that mask does work really well" he continued

"Yeah, that and those other animatronics are just fucking morons" I said, Freddy nodded

"Or that" He said, after that we all stayed silent a minute before my stomach let out a loud growl

It surprised both Freddy and Toy Chica...

"Uh...are you hungry?" Freddy asked, I nodded

"Yeah, all I've had to eat today is a crust sandwich" I replied, Chica gasped

"A crust sandwich?!" She exclaimed "You shouldn't be eating like that" she continued

"Don't have another choice, that's all I had to eat" I replied, Chica shook her head

"I'm going to make you a pizza, what would you like on it?" She asked, I was a little confused at her question

"Uh...you can cook?" I asked, Chica nodded

"Of course I can" She replied "Now what do you want on it?" She asked again

"Uh...pepperoni I guess" I replied

"Alright, one large pepperoni pizza coming up" Chica said as she hurried out of the office and down the hallway, I looked at Freddy who just shrugged

"I don't know" he said


(POV: Chica)

Freddy had left the room to go to the office and check on Brent while Bonnie, Foxy, and I stayed behind.

We had been sitting here pretty much in silence since Freddy left, Foxy had his hook arm around me and was starting to doze off.

I had pretty much been trying to do the same when I noticed Bonnie staring at me again, he had been doing it a lot lately and it was kinda weird.

"Are you ok?" I asked him, when I looked his way he looked away from me.

He nodded in response...

"Are you sure?" I asked, he just nodded again without looking at me.

After that I just went back to leaning up against Foxy trying to fall asleep myself.

(POV: Bonnie)

After Freddy left, like he usually does, I looked over at Chica, the girl of my dreams, and just stared.

It wasn't fair that Foxy, the person responsible for putting us here, is the one that ended up with Chica.

I mean she wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for him, that's why I don't understand what she sees in him.

I honestly didn't know how long I had been staring at her lost in thought until she noticed and said something...

"Are you ok?" She asked, I had looked away from her more so from embarrassment than anything before nodding...the only way I could respond.

"Are you sure?" She asked, I just nodded again which was far from the truth.

Just hearing her voice makes me so happy, but then when I realize that I can't have her because of Foxy it...it makes me angry...so angry...

Bonnie sat there before clenching his fist as he thought about Foxy again...


Brent and Freddy had been sitting there for almost half an hour before Toy Chica came back with a large pepperoni pizza

"Here you go" She said happily as she sat it down in front of me on the desk, I looked at and it actually looked delicious, so delicious that my mouth started watering.

"Wow, this looks amazing" I said, Chica smiled

"Thank you" Chica said happily "Taste it, tell me what you think" she continued, I nodded before carefully pulling a slice out of the box and taking a bite...

And it tasted like it came out of gods oven, it was the greatest pizza I have ever tasted in my entire life...

"Holy shit this is amazing!" He said happily as I continued to eat the slice I picked up, Chica blushed

"Thank you, I'm glad you like it" She replied, I nodded

"I don't like it, I love it" I said, Chica blushed more

Freddy was standing there amused at the scene in front of him.

"Mind if I take a slice?" Freddy asked as he reached for a piece causing Chica to slap his hand, he quickly pulled it away

"Oww, what was that for?" Freddy asked

"That pizza is Brent's" Chica replied, I laughed at the scowl on Freddy's face

"It's ok Chica, he can have a slice" I said, Chica looked at me and nodded before allowing Freddy to grab a slice "Why don't you get a piece too, we can turn this into a party" I joked, Chica looked at the pizza before grabbing a slice

"Wow this is amazing" Freddy said as he took a bite

"I can't believe you guys can actually eat" I said as Freddy continued to eat his slice, he nodded

"We're more alive than you think" He said, it truly was amazing to see everything that these guys can do.

We continued to scarf down the pizza and chat it up until POP Goes the Weasel started playing from somewhere, that's when Chica went wide eyed

"The music box!" She exclaimed, that's when it hit me like a train...I forgot to wind the music box.


I just want to let everyone know right now that this story has NOT been forgotten about, it's just all of my main focus has been on Total Drama Showdown and with how long those chapters usually take to write that's why there hasn't been any updates on this story.

But I will continue to publish chapters for this story, they just might not be as often as I would like to get them out so I apologize for that.
