"It's a brand new night! It's time to have some fun!" Foxy yelled as he opened his curtains and closed them behind him. Another night! Foxy was excited this night, especially with the hope that a security guard might come. That would spice things up!
"I wonder if any security guards are coming in tonight." Foxy wondered. He looked around at his room. His cove was in the corner of a small, empty room connected to the main area. No tables, no chairs, nothing except his cove. "I hope they come in here first! That'd be awesome, I'd get to scare them first!" He glared at the main area. "Freddy won't get them this time..." He growled. "I really hope that happens."
He stepped into his room and looked around at it's emptiness. "Huh, I really should start decorating this room. It's completely empty." He began to walk into the main area. "Nothing to do in there except-"
"Aah!" Someone ran around the corner and accidentally bumped into Foxy. Foxy bared his fangs, ready to attack...
...and saw that Puppet had bumped into him.
"Hey, woah!" Foxy yelped. "Don't jump out at me like that! I thought you were a security guard. I was gonna jump at you and bite you in the head. But no, you came in here like this. Ugh, what's the problem?"
"There's something in my room!" Puppet told him anxiously.
"Are you serious?" Foxy groaned, glaring at Puppet.
"I'm hearing noises around there! And in the bathroom, too!"
"Oh, so you found another bathroom ghost?"
"No, of course not! There's no toilet in my room!"
"Are you sure? Are you positive that there isn't a toilet in your room?"
"Well, in my box, but no! This was outside the box!"
"You and your box. Okay, let's go in there and listen to this." Foxy grumbled. "If there's nothing in there, I might actually bite you in the head this time." They went down the hall towards Puppet's room. "And I'll go first, since you're such a scaredy-cat!"
"No, that's not true..." Puppet moaned.
"Yeah, it is." Foxy said. "You know it is." They entered Puppet's room. "Okay, see? I'm in the room, and I hear nothing! No noises whatsoever-" he was interrupted by a loud sobbing sound erupting through the room. "Woah! Woah woah woah..."
"There it is again!" Puppet yelped in fear.
"Is that your gears? Are they squeaking?" Foxy asked Puppet, looking at his suit.
"Gears?" Puppet looked confused.
"Yeah, inside your robot body." Foxy told him. Foxy looked back at the room. "Okay, the noise stopped, so I think we're good now-" Again, the sobbing sound erupted through the room. Foxy took a step back, wary. "Okay, okay, there's noises still going on! We should probably get Ballora. She can explain this." Puppet nodded, and they went back down the hall to Ballora's room. "It sounds right up her alley, and I don't wanna be in there by myself either."
"And she's the one who told the story the last time there was a ghost!" Puppet exclaimed.
"Yeah, she might know more about it!" Foxy agreed, nodding quickly. They entered her room and saw her dancing.
"La la la, la la..." She sang. She turned around and was shocked to see them standing there.
"Hi..." Foxy greeted awkwardly.
"Okay, what do you guys want?" Ballora asked them, annoyed.
"So, uh, we heard noises in puppet's room, and they sound like the ghost noises you told us about before." Foxy explained.
"Are you pulling a prank on me?" Puppet questioned her.
"Oh, NOW you want my help with the ghost!" Ballora exclaimed. "All this time you told me you didn't believe me, and NOW you do?!"
"We didn't think it was real!" Foxy told her. "Last time we went in there, there was nothing there! C'mon, we need your help. This is important."
"I still don't think it's real." Puppet admitted. "I think it's just you tricking me."
"Why would I prank Puppet?" Ballora grumbled. "He's not fun to prank."
"Uh, he's pretty fun to prank, if you think about it." Foxy reasoned. He suddenly pointed behind Puppet. "BEHIND YOU, THERE'S A GHOST!"
"Wha?!" Puppet turned around and saw nothing was there. "Oh. Aww..."
"Well, anyways, where is this sound coming from?" Ballora asked them, curious now.
"Follow us over here." Foxy instructed her. They went back down the hall.
"Is it coming from the boys' bathroom again?" Ballora questioned Foxy as they went.
"No, we're not gonna make you go into there again, because I know how ICKY that is for you..." Foxy taunted.
"It is! It's very icky. There's weird stuff in there..." Ballora muttered. They came into Puppet's room again.
"Okay, listen closely. Listen clearly, too." Foxy told Ballora.
"It seems-" Puppet began, but was cut off by the same sobbing sound once more. "Aaaa, there it is!"
"Oh, wait!" Ballora gasped. "I've heard this voice before! This was what I heard in the boys' bathroom!"
"Oh, really?" Foxy commented, surprised.
"Yeah, I told you it was real!" Ballora said.
"I don't know where the noise is coming from, though.." Foxy mentioned as he began to search the room, the sobbing sound still coming from somewhere. "I don't see anything at all.."
"Are you sure it isn't just a loose screw in your head that's making that noise, Puppet?" Ballora asked Puppet, looking around at him.
"Yeah, I'm starting to think it's HIM." Foxy added, gazing at Puppet as well.
"I'm not even sure if I have gears or screws or anything..." Puppet mumbled. Foxy sighed and turned away. He looked up at the large vent cover on the wall of the small stage in the room. A dark figure was moving around inside there.
"Woah!" Foxy shouted, startled. The figure seemed to see Foxy and quickly went out of view inside the vents. "Did you guys just see that?"
"Where was it?!" Ballora asked, snapping to attention.
"It came from inside the ventilation system!" Foxy revealed, pointing at the large vent cover.
"This joke has gone far enough!" Puppet shouted.
"Hello?!" Ballora shouted at the vent cover.
"Hello?! HELLO?" Foxy also did so. "Is Freddy in there? How'd he get in there? FREDDY! Come out!"
"Freddy's not smart enough to get up there." Ballora pointed out.
"We need to find a way in there." Foxy decided. "There's something in there. Everybody look around!" They began to search through the area.
"Bring the bouncy house here! I'll jump into the vents!" Ballora declared, jumping once for clarification.
"No, of course not." Foxy refused. "You'll just find a way to get stuck." They kept searching. "I'm not seeing anything, there's no door to get there." He looked into the water area, Foxy's Adventure, searching for a door.
"I don't think there's something in the water." Ballora said, shaking her head.
"Are you sure? There might be a monster down there." He inspected the water again. "I don't know." He went towards the stage instead, thinking he might find something there. Sure enough, he spotted something near the wall of the stage. "Wait, hold on..." He went over there.
"Ooh! Pretty lights." Ballora admired the lights underneath the panels beside the stage. Foxy touched a weird looking set of panels...
...they opened up, to reveal a small passage.
"Guys, I just found something!" Foxy yelled as he dropped down into the small passage. The passage opened up to a hallway, with checker floors, red and white striped walls, and a brown ceiling.
"Woah, what is this?" Ballora gasped.
"Maybe it's a secret passage to my box." Puppet guessed. He and Ballora came into the hallway as well.
"You have a secret passage there?"
"Maybe."
"You have a lot of secrets, Puppet." Foxy mentioned. "We should talk to you about that later-"
"Nah, let's just inspect whatever this is!" Puppet cut him off, running down the hall.
"Uh, you're being really weird." Foxy mumbled. They went to the end of the hall and came into another room. "Woah!"
This room has striped walls with different colors on either wall, red on two of them, yellow on another, and pink on another. The floor was a clear white marble. In the center of the room, a ladder led up to a wooden doorway to big grayish-brown vent above.
"I don't want to be here anymore. This is too scary." Ballora whined, looking at the walls nervously.
"This is...different." Foxy said. "This is like a secret room, almost." They went up to the ladder.
"Puppet, you go first!" Ballora quickly said, eyeing the ladder with caution.
"I can't open that door." Puppet pointed out.
"You know what?" Foxy chimed in. "I'll go first." He went up the ladder and opened the door. "There we go." He stepped inside the vent. It was a long vent corridor filled with vent covers that looked into other rooms in the pizzeria.
"Is it safe?" Ballora asked as she and Puppet slowly came in behind him.
"It looks safe..." Foxy went down to one end of the vent, then yelped and quickly backed up. Someone was sitting in that corner, sobbing. He was too afraid to see who it was. "There's something up here!"
"What?! Where?" Ballora exclaimed.
"Over in the left corner." Foxy replied, pointing at where he just went.
"I'm not going over there!" Ballora yelled as she backed away. Foxy checked again and saw the person before quickly backing up once more, yelping a second time. He didn't get a good look at the person, but he didn't want to find out. He wanted to stay alive.
"No no no!" Foxy muttered as they backed away. They all screamed as the person came out from behind the corner, sitting and sliding along the ground.
"I don't like this!" Ballora shrieked as they all kept backing up while the person approached them.
"What is it?! Why is it crying?" Foxy shouted as he backed away.
"I don't know! Did you hit it or something?!" Ballora yelled.
The person approached them, crying all the way. "I've been stuck here, like, forever!" It moaned, still upset.
"Wait a minute!" Puppet gasped. "Baby? Is that you?!" Foxy gasped. He finally turned towards the person, and got a good look at her. It looked female, with the appearance of a clown. She had auburn hair in high pigtails on either side of her head, held in place by blue hair elastics. She had bright green eyes, and a wide mouth framed by thin red lips. She had a red nose and red cheeks. Most of her body was white, except for the orange triangle in the center of the front of her, with a metal fan spinning around in it. She wore a red crop top with frills on the shoulders and a matching frilly, red skirt. She wore jester shoes, topped with gold bells. She was also noticeably shorter than Foxy, Ballora, or Puppet.
Foxy knew her. It was Circus Baby, the owner of the pizzeria and leader of the animatronics. How had he not recognized her before?
"Oh my god, Puppet?" Baby exclaimed, gazing at Puppet. Foxy noticed that she was talking in a valley girl accent, though he had the feeling it wasn't her real voice. "It's been, like, forever since we've actually seen each other."
"Yeah!" Puppet nodded. "What are you doing in here?"
"Uh, you know, I kind of like, found this door and came in here, and I've been here ever since..." She turned away, embarrassed, then turned back to them. "...it's kind of bad, actually."
"Ballora, isn't this your friend?" Foxy asked Ballora, tapping her on the shoulder. Ballora seem shocked, and finally got a good look at Baby too.
"Wait a second, are you sure you're Baby?" Ballora asked Baby, suspicious.
"Oh my gosh, is that you, Ballora?!" Baby exclaimed. "Hey, girl!" Ballora seemed excited beyond belief.
"OH MY GOSH, IT'S REALLY YOU, BABY!" She shrieked, so loudly in fact that Foxy and Puppet had to jam their hands over their ears. Baby also yelled excitedly.
"Oh, Belly, it's been so long!" Baby sighed, smiling.
"There's two of them now." Foxy whispered to Puppet, afraid.
"Yeah. Yeah there is." Puppet said quietly, also nervous.
"Wait, how did you guys, like, get in here?" Baby asked, turning to Foxy and Puppet. "I've been stuck here for ages."
"Uh, there's a door over there." Foxy pointed through a nearby vent cover, which overlooked Puppet's room, at the trapdoor they had went through. "It led right to this vent system."
"What?!" Baby exclaimed, surprised. "Um, well, I totally knew that. I guess, uh, show me where this door is, then?"
"Well, before we do that..." Foxy began, staring around at the vent system. "This is pretty cool, I must say. This is the ventilation system, isn't it?" Foxy looked around the vent corridor, inspecting the many vent covers peeking into different areas of the pizzeria.
"Well, yeah." Baby confirmed. "I've been watching you guys for a while."
"Oh, really?" Foxy replied. "Why haven't you tried to get our attention before?"
"Well, I tried, but...but..." Baby broke into tears.
"Don't cry, it's okay!" Foxy said, trying to comfort Baby. He tried to pat her on the back, but accidentally punched her instead, due to him still having his claws out. Baby immediately became aggressive and tried to punch Foxy, who quickly backed away. "Woah, I didn't mean to do that! I'm sorry." Baby glared at him.
"You're just jealous of my new friend." Ballora huffed, putting an arm around Baby.
"Don't you ever lay a hand on this lady again." Baby warned him.
"Look, I'm sorry!" Foxy apologized. "I was trying to pat you on the back, and I forgot I had my claws out. I am so sorry."
Baby sighed. "I forgive you." Foxy nodded, but quickly got distracted.
He looked through one of the vent covers and saw the break room, which they had only been in a few nights earlier. This reminded him of the whole situation of calling Chica, and he wondered something: if Baby had been in the vents, and had a few of the break room, had she seen them call Chica?
"Wait, is that the break room down there?" Foxy asked, surprised. "I mean, it is also the guard room, but is it?"
"Um, yeah." Baby answered. "There hasn't really been that much going on in there, just, y'know, stuff."
"So you saw us in there on the day we were trying to call...Chica." Foxy guessed.
"Oh, yeah! I totally saw that." Baby replied, giggling slightly.
"Oh. So have you been watching us chase down the security guards, too?" Foxy said. "Because, you know, it's like a classic act of awesomeness for us. We're that good at getting security guards." At this, Baby smirked.
"Um, I don't wanna offend or anything, but I totes think I can do better than you." She challenged.
"Oh ho, really?" Foxy exclaimed, grinning. "We'll see later on what you can do." He went back over to Puppet. "Puppet, let me remind you again: we have two of them now."
"Yep. I'm just trying to keep the joy inside of me!" Puppet yelled out loud, seeing the confused looks from Ballora and Baby.
"But, anyways, you guys don't really get scaring as much." Baby commented. "You could really give it a little flair, if you wanted."
"You know, I could avoid telling you how to get out of here." Foxy explained, annoyed. "I could just leave you in here. C'mon, Puppet."
"No no no, you are not going to leave me in here!" Baby refused. Foxy and Puppet opened the door and jumped out of the vent onto the floor below. Baby seemed surprised, as if she had only just ever seen that door. "Oh, look! There's a door! Woohoo!" She walked out and accidentally tripped, falling onto the ground. "Ow." She got up slowly. Ballora also exited the vent system and jumped down with them.
"Oh yeah, that's right." Foxy commented, smiling smugly. "You guys can't open doors. I can open and close them! Ha ha!" He climbed up the ladder and closed the vent door, then jumped back down. Ballora looked annoyed.
"That's just not fair." She huffed.
"Oh, it's perfectly fair." Foxy claimed, his smile becoming wider. He dropped it after a few seconds and they began to head back down the passage. "So, now this whole entire place is...MINE!" He ran down the passage, howling with laughter at his joke. He climbed back up the trapdoors at the end of the hall and came back into Puppet's room. Ballora and Puppet also climbed up. Baby seemed to be trying to figure out where to go still. "Hey Baby, you still lost?" He said cheekily.
"No, you just showed us how to get out." Baby informed him as she climbed up, closing the trapdoor behind her. "There we go. We're never gonna touch that again."
"Yeah, well, we might use it if we need to scare some security guards." Foxy commented, nodding surely. "By the way, have you guys realized that none have come tonight? That's really weird." They all went back down the hall as he said this. Foxy then remembered he didn't see Freddy this morning. 'Wait. Freddy's gone! he probably found one and is handling it without us again!" He stamped his feet angrily. "Oh, NO! NO NO NO..."
"Freddy's always doing these things by himself!" Ballora added, equally as mad. "He doesn't invite ME! Or any of us, for that matter!"
"I know!" Foxy agreed. "That is just not cool." They came into the main room. "Y'know, we should go check on Garbage." Ballora seemed to agree with that idea.
"Oh yeah, how is he?" Ballora asked. "Have you been checking on him?" Foxy nodded. He noticed that Baby seemed confused.
"Yeah, Baby. We have a pet security guard called Garbage." Foxy explained as they came into the kitchen. Foxy went over to the chute. "He's down in the garbage chute over here."
"Wait, what?" Baby replied. "That's, like, awesome!" She looked over into the chute as Foxy opened it.
"I know, right?" Foxy said. "Don't fall in it, though, because if you do, we can't get you out." Baby seemed more wary and took a few steps back.
"Oh, okay." She responded.
"Garbage! Garbage!" Foxy called into the chute. "Garbage, are you down there?"
"Huh? What?!" Garbage replied. "Who's there?!"
"It's us! The animatronics!" Foxy answered.
"Ah, man." Garbage sighed. "I really thought it was somebody cool for once."
"Uh, hey!" Baby muttered, annoyed.
"We're cool!" Foxy shouted, very offended by Garbage's words. "We feed you!"
"If you were cool, you're drop down some video games!" Garbage claimed. "And...also, some tacos."
"Uh..." Foxy stuttered. Foxy knew he wasn't going to drop down video games, but maybe tacos. He turned to look at the others. "Do we have any tacos?"
"Um, I don't think we do." Ballora responded, checking the fridge to make sure. She shook her head.
"Then let's just drop down some more chicken." Foxy said.
"No, please!" Garbage plead. "No more chicken!"
"Chicken." Foxy replied firmly. "Oh, let's give him some eggs, too."
"Let me see if we have any." Puppet mumbled, checking the fridge.
"Have we gone grocery shopping?" Ballora asked.
"Uh, yeah, about that..." Foxy stuttered, chuckling nervously. "We can't leave, remember?"
"Oh, found some!" Puppet shouted, pulling out a few eggs and running back over to Foxy.
"Okay, awesome." Foxy said, grinning. "Throw them down there."
"You do it." Puppet shrugged, giving Foxy the eggs.
"I guess I'm dropping them down there." Foxy sighed, turning to the chute. He tossed them all down there. "There you go!" A series of cracking sounds played after a second. "Enjoy the eggs!"
"Ah, what's this?!" Garbage screamed. "It landed in my eye!"
"How are they?" Foxy asked.
"Well, I guess I can still cook them." Garbage blubbered. "Can you guys, like, throw down a frying pan, too? And probably some bacon?"
"Um, no." Foxy refused. "That takes too much effort. Bye." Foxy closed the chute. They could hear him yelling down there still, but it was muffled.
"'Kay, bye loser." Baby added, turning away.
"Wow, Baby, you're um..." Foxy began. He decided he'd lie to her. "Very, very, nice. Yes." Baby smiled earnestly.
"She's one of a kind!" Ballora commented as they left. However, Baby accidentally closed the door on Puppet's face. Foxy stood there, gaping at what he just saw. "Um, can you open the door, Foxy?" (Ballora was behind Puppet.)
"How did she just..." Foxy squeaked.
"How did you close it, Baby?" Ballora asked. "Can you open it, too?" Baby approached and tried to open the door, but was having no luck.
"You can't do it? But you closed it, though!" Foxy argued.
"Yeah, but..." Baby mumbled. "I guess I can just close doors, but not open them?"
"That's slightly awkward..." Foxy admitted. "That does explain how she got stuck in the vents!"
"Oh, yeah!" Puppet exclaimed, nodding understandingly. "That makes sense!"
"Oooooohhh..." Ballora sighed, surprised. "It's like locking yourself in the bathroom."
"There you guys go." Foxy opened the door for them, letting Puppet and Ballora come out before closing the door behind them. "Wait, lock yourself in the girls bathroom? Did you seriously lock yourself in a place that DOESN'T HAVE A DOOR?"
"I...don't know what you're talking about." Ballora implored, shaking her head. Foxy knew she was lying.
"It's okay, girlfriend." Baby chattered, putting an arm around Ballora. "I got your back."
"Thank you, thank you." Ballora thanked. They went over to the front doors.
"So, uh, as you can see, we're currently boarded up in here." Foxy explained. "I guess there was some sort of accident that we don't know about? Freddy seems to know something, but he won't tell me. Every time I bring it up to him, he runs off and hides." Foxy could remember that skittish way Freddy was after being asked, and how Freddy had run off, Foxy only finding him hours after that episode.
"Well, that's kinda rude." Baby articulated. "Well, I'm sure he could tell you if you guys were close, tight, clutch and such..."
"We ARE close and tight!" Foxy responded. "We've been around and hanging out for years, and years, and years, and years, and years, and-" Foxy suddenly shut off.
"Maybe he's sour, because we pranked him." Puppet wondered, staring off at the wall as he thought about it. Foxy turned back on.
"Oh yeah, that's true." Foxy agreed as he came back on.
"Yeah, I saw you guys do that." Baby mentioned, shaking her head disapprovingly. "That was also rude."
"What are you talking about?" Foxy babbled, smirking. "That prank was awesome! He didn't even expect. Also, you missed the cooking show. That was also a pretty good day." He sighed happily.
"No, that was a horrible day." Ballora huffed.
"That's because you were in the bathroom for five hours." Foxy informed her. "So that's your problem, not mine."
"Yeah, it was horrible!" Ballora yelled. "Whatever he gave me, well..." Foxy could hear her whisper to Baby, it made me go number 2 through his keen fox hearing.
Baby gasped. "Girl, don't even." She patted Ballora on the back. "It's okay. It's all glitters and sunshine."
"Yeah, exactly." Ballora agreed.
"Um.." Foxy turned around and saw Puppet starting to leave.
"I'm gonna go home..." Puppet yawned.
"Puppet, don't leave me here by myself!" Foxy cried as he grabbed Puppet by the arm.
"This is just too much, though!" Puppet replied, shaking him off. "There's two of them! And I'm not dealing with that. Bye bye!" He ran off.
"You know what?" Foxy sighed, turning to Ballora and Baby. "You girls can just go hang out at your room, Ballora, while I go and chill in my room." Foxy ran into his room and quickly entered his cove.
"Okay, well..." Baby said from the other room. "I guess it was, like, nice to meet you?"
"Yeah, I'll see you guys later, just please leave.." Foxy whined.
"Okay, I guess so..." Ballora chattered. Foxy could hear her and Baby's footsteps as they left.
"Ugh, oh man.." Foxy sighed, exhausted. "We have two of them now. All these people from this pizzeria are SO different! They're...bossy. Man, I wonder who else we're gonna find in the future. And where is Freddy? I want to know! Well, whatever..." Foxy had many questions, but he was tired and felt as if he could sleep for hours. "Time to take a nap..." He closed his curtains.
Ah, the tenth chapter is finally done! Hope you guys enjoy Baby as a character! Foxy and Puppet might not, though. Heh.
P.S. Baby's whole 'Valley Girl' accent isn't her real voice, it's just a temporary act. Pay no mind to it.
P.P.S Will there be more animatronics coming? Yes! But that's much later on. Until then, we'll just see what our current friends will get up to.
See you next time!
