Hey guys! I'm back again with chapter nine of The Story Begins. Never thought I'd write this much, cos I thought nobody would read it. Anyway, I've made an executive decision here and decided to skip straight to the next night (so no scene at Mike's house) I will mention stuff that happened, but the chapter will focus on Night 6. Without the Toys, will Mike and Emma be able to relax and earn an easy buck? Somehow, I don't think so. See you guys on the other side.
Mike steered his Mondeo into the car park, seeing a large lorry being closed up. He and Emma watched as a man got into the cab and pulled out onto the road, driving around a corner and out of sight. "Ladies and gentlemen! Freddy Fazbear has left the building!" He shouted. Emma got out of the car next to him laughing at his antics. "Don't shout like that! People are sleeping, you big idiot!" she closed the car door and, to Mike's amazement, skipped, actually skipped to the double doors. Mike just watched her as he walked to the doors, at the head of a small set of steps. He like her when she was happy-she changed from a professional looking business woman into a fun loving girl-her behaviour wasn't exactly immature, just... a little childish. "Mike... are you looking at my ass again? God, you're such a pervert!" she was looking at him, laughing, right next to the doors whereas he was at the bottom of the steps. The truth was he wasn't, but since the incident during their last work night, she had teased him relentlessly about being a perv. He'd expected her to be angry at him and, to areaerfectly honest, would probably prefer it that way. It would be much less embarrassing. They both walked through tseconds.s into the entrance to be confronted by the sight of Mr Slim, who was looking rather flustered. "Ah, Mr Schmidt, Miss Livingston! You did come in after all! Right, you two, stay here until half six, we have an employee coming in who will need a tour. I'll see you two later." He left the building with a quick waddle-like walk, leaving the two guards alone. Emma spoke first "Did you see how sweaty he was? He must have run a marathon to get here!"
"No, the size of the guy, it was probably only from the front doors!" Mike answered, earning a laugh from Emma. Come on, let's have a look around, we'll try and find Vixxey." And so they searched- first, they whent to to Pirate Cove, finding a seemingly deactivated Foxy (but Mike and Emma thought he was probably just sleeping stood up). Emma walked up the steps at the back of the pirate ship, walking across the deck and into the cabin. Vixxey wasn't anywhere to be seen. Walking with Mike, they searched the office and both party rooms, along with all the corridors in between. In the end, there were only three places left to search: the kitchen (which was locked), the managers' office (also locked) and Parts and Service. As the two guards approached the door, they heard a familiar, feminine voice in the room behind. "So, the guard Mike let me in the office, and we're just waiting for one of those metal freaks, when-" Mike opened the door, eager to know who Vixxey was talking to. Vixxey was stood with her back to the door with three people around her: a seven foot tall brown bear wearing a tophat, a purple looking bunny who was wearing a bowtie and a yellow chicken (more like a chic) wearing a bib saying 'Let's Eat'. All three took a threatening step towards the door, causing Vixxey to spin around. "Oh hey! Wait a minute you three, these were the people I was talking about! Mike and Emma." she said waving her hand towards each of them in turn. Nobody spoke. They just kept waiting. And waiting. And waiting. Nobody knew what to say. In the end, after five or so minutes of awkward silence, Chica stepped forward. Walking up to the guards, she stood there for a few seconds, looking them up and down. Surprising both Mike and Emma, she wrapped her arms around both of them before whispering "thanks for saving Vixxey" then taking her arms away, allowing the two of them to breathe again. Chica made a hasty retreat back to the others, leaving everybody stood once again in silence. Vixxey decided to break it "hey, why don't we have a game of hide and seek? I'll be the one to go hide?" the other three anthros all groaned in unison. "Vixxey, we can never find you!" Freddy grumbled "and anyway, I doubt the guards would want to do that!" Mike decided he liked Freddy-he seemed very down to earth. Emma took the initiative, saying "Well, we need to be off! Maybe we'll talk to you later!" and before anybody had a chance to react, she dragged Mike out of the room by his arm. After a few minutes, Vixxey said a quick goodbye to Freddy, Bonnie and Chica before leaving the room.

"Well... that was awkward..." Emma said, after she and Mike reached the office. Mike gave a short laugh.
"Yeah... very!" Mike answered, sitting down in the big chair, while Emma sat on the desk. Mike went to grab the tablet before realising it wasn't on the table where it usually was. Looking around the floor for it, he didn't notice Vixxey enter the room, or Emma make hand gestures towards him. SCREEEEEEECH! Mike jumped three feet in the air before falling to the ground at the sound of demonic screeching directly behind him. Looking up, he saw the laughing, white face of Vixxey and Emma, now stood up, with a hand over her mouth trying to contain guffaws of her own. Standing up, Mike groaned not out pain, but out of embarrassment. "Okay guys, it's not funny anymore..." both girls gave another round of raucous laughing. Mike must stood there waiting for them to stop. He tried to act cool, but the red flush in his cheeks made his embarrassment obvious. After the two of them calmed down, Vixxey decided to tell the two nightguards about her colleagues. "You know, it's not your fault. They just find it hard to trust anyone. The last person they trusted killed five kids, so... You can probably imagine how bad that was for us." Vixxey looked down at the floor "We couldn't trust anyone after that..." Mike stepped over to Vixxey "It's fine. I don't really trust any one no more, except maybe five or six people. For someone to kill five kids... That's a hell of a reason not to trust somebody. And it's none of your faults, I'm sure you all did your jobs properly" Vixxey lifted her chin and smiled. "Thank you Mr- I mean Mike!" She hurriedly corrected her remark. "Have any of you seen Foxy? He usually comes to see me by now".
"Yeah, he was still in his little area asleep when we came in." Mike said "I don't know where he is now though, sorry" Vixxey waved her hand dissmisively as if it didn't matter.
"I think I'm gonna go find him, see you later Mike! Bye Emma!" the white vulpine ran out of the room, leaving the two humans on their own. Mike looked at Emma. "Well... I guess we're on our own, then..." Mike wasn't expecting an answer, and he didn't get one. Both of them felt awkward around each other since the night before, since Emma fell asleep in Mike's arms again. It was kind of nice for Mike, the aftermath-this awkward silence-less so. "Alright then, let's just check the cameras..."

"How do we know we can trust these two?" Freddy asked the other two. "For all we know, Fazbear Co sent them to find our weaknesses!" Chica laughed.
"Freddy, you are soparanoid it's unreal. You know they only let their pets do their work for them!" She spat the word pets, thinking about their brightly coloured counterparts. "I mean, every guard there has ever been we've been able to trust, at least until the Toys killed them. I know you blame yourself for what happened with the kids, but that was all on the evil man who committed the crime. Come on, I reckon we should go talk to the guards. Properly, this time!" The avian creature walked out of the room without checking to see if the other two were following. Bonnie, cocking his head towards the door, left the room. With a sigh, Freddy followed, leaving the room empty.
Jesus Christ, the shit I've gone through this month. Barely had any time to write, and when I did my WiFi disowned me. But it's finally done. Got over five and half K views, which is pretty good. No reviews for chapter eight though... By the way, harem idea on hold for now, came up with an idea for another fanfic, but I'll get a few more chapters of this done before I start-don't want to let you guys down anymore than I already have.
This is MattyJones, Signing Off.
