AN: Hello all the wonderful and amazing people. The story is long. It might be a bit too full of stuff, but there is
no much else I can do. The only chapters where there has been a bit of time the breathe, has been the Love chapters.
I am just a beginner. I will get better. Maybe.

( The security office. 2.30 pm)

Leslie, Storm Jr. and Marionette were staring at the picture. They examined it very carefully. They checked its both sides
and tried to figure out something. When was it made? Was it made by a child or by an adult. It looked like child's work, but
there were many things about it, that indicated that it was made by someone older. The picture was fancy and clear.
It wasn't a mess like a picture made by a young child would be. It had nice colors and everything. Blue ceiling and red couches
had been drawn in the picture. Storm Jr. looked it with one eye closed. She turned it upside down.
" What is this suppose to be? Seriously. This can't be your mother's. I don't even know what it is", she said after looking it for many minutes.
" I suppose we could be wrong. There are many women and girls out there, whose name is Delilah Coleman. It could be anyone", Marionette
said to the shocked Leslie.
" I guess so. I was so sure that it was my mother's. Only she would make something so beautiful", Leslie sighed.
" Hey! Like you said. Everybody makes mistakes sometimes. If you want to look at it more, you can always take it with you.
I mean..nobody else watches these old pictures anymore. It's just good, if they still please somebody", Marionette suggested.
Leslie nodded: " Thanks! I'll take it for sure. I don't know what it is either, but if I look at it more and more, I might get something out of it".
" You know. We could go and ask Mr. Fazbear. He could check the employees of the past few years. But we must do it tomorrow.
He has way too many things to do already. The pizzeria is even fuller today than usually", Marionette suggested. Leslie nodded.
Marionette smiled and left. Storm Jr. took a hold of Leslie's hand as he put the picture in his pocket. Storm Jr. leaned closer to
him as they walked. She didn't do it intentionally. She almost had her ear against Leslie's shoulder. He seemed calm and maybe
now was the perfect time to say it.
" Hey Leslie!", she said.
" What?", Leslie asked calmly. Storm Jr. wanted to say those words. She wanted to tell him that she loved him. Not just
normal love, but real love. Girlfriend, boyfriend love.
She really wanted to say it: " Leslie. I..just wanted to say that..". Would he say that he loved her too?
Or would he say that an animatronic should not fall in love with a living creature? Would he ever speak to her again?
Was their love going to last? Or was it just a fantasy in her dreams. Did he want to love someone he could make babies with?
Could an animatronic be a human's girlfriend? It seemed weird. Even if Leslie would accept it, the other animatronics would
most likely go absolutely mad. She just couldn't. She so wanted to, but she couldn't.
" I just wanted to say that...we have a big celebration", she said instead: " Do you want to be part of it?".
Leslie made a face: " Erm. I don't know. Jenner is really angry and if he would get out of control, many people would die".
Storm Jr. started to think that Leslie was too scared: " You should stop thinking about Jenner. You can't do anything
fun in here, if you are scared to be around people. Have some courage. It won't be that bad. Conversely.
Jenner will get weaker as you start to enjoy. You are in Freddy Fazbear's. Nobody is sad or scared in here. This is a place for fun".
That seemed to have effect on him: " You suggest that I just go out there and have fun? Are you absolutely sure?".
" Yes!", Storm Jr. answered. Leslie hadn't had something like that in mind at all. It was a totally new idea for him.
" Okay! I will try it, but if something goes wrong..", he said.
" You'll tell me and I will take you to the nearest backroom or somewhere else, where there won't be so many people".
Storm Jr. finished Leslie's sentence.
Leslie nodded: " I'll trust you. To be honest. That's not such a bad idea. You are cleverer than you look, Storm Jr.".
" Really? Thanks", Storm Jr. smiled and tried to hide her blushing.
" I actually haven't seen all the animatronics very well", Leslie confessed: " I kinda wanted to meet them, but I was too scared".
Storm Jr. got close to his face: " That's not the right spirit. You should learn from the customers. None of the children are scared of us.
Not even the youngest ones. Everyone likes animatronics, right".
Leslie thought and said: " Well..my dad doesn't. But he isn't a normal customer. He has traumas from animatronics".
Storm Jr. looked at him and asked: " From someone else as well? Not only from Marionettes".
Leslie chuckled: " I don't know. My parents are mysterious. Maybe soon I will realize that Shadow is truly my dead brother".
" You have a dead brother?", Storm Jr. asked.
" No. But I would believe anything about my family after all this. Now that there's also a high chance that my mother has worked here", Leslie answered.
" Perhaps. Didn't you say that she was a waitress somewhere. 1987. In a restaurant. All the pieces fit together. And you know what?", Storm Jr. said smiling.
" What?", Leslie asked. " That boyfriend of your mom's. Might it be Mr. Fazbear?", Storm Jr. suggested.
" No. It was Toy freddy", Leslie answered laughing. They laughed together. They started to walk towards the new section.
They made all kinds of different boyfriend possibilities. Golden freddy. Foxy. They made other jokes and it felt good to be happy for a moment.
" Are you ready to meet everyone for real?", Storm Jr. asked.
" No! But I can't wait forever", Leslie answered.
Storm Jr. bent down and made a creepy face: " Here we go! Three! Two! One!". Then she opened the door.
The hallway was suddenly bright. It blinded Leslie for a second. His eyes burnt. Not for real, but it felt like it.
And still.. the pain couldn't be stronger than the feeling of coming to the better side. Leslie had been lonely. Just like the old
section was lonely and creepy place. Leslie was still living in fear, but the sudden noise of happy people overwhelmed it. Leslie enjoyed it.
" Welcome to the happy side", Storm Jr. announced to him. They went out and walked around for a bit. Some children came to see Storm Jr.
" They won't bite. You can pick them up as well", Storm Jr. laughed when Leslie backed off as some kid went close to him.
Leslie picked up the toddler. It wasn't as bad as he had thought. Nothing happened. Jenner didn't go crazy in Leslie's head.
Or he did, but Leslie could hardly feel it. Jenner tried to do something. To throw the kid or hurt him in some other way. With no effect.
Leslie smiled and played with Storm Jr. and the children. Shadow saw it from the stage.
" Bonnie look over there!", he shouted in her head. Sad Bonnie looked up and saw the miracle happen.
" Well..at least someone is happier than usual", she said in Shadow's head.
" Happier than ever!", Shadow corrected. Bonnie kept on playing her quitar that seemed to not be in tune. It sounded a bit off.
She hadn't tuned it in the morning. Bonnie was still feeling down. She didn't even want to play with the children in the meantime
when they weren't performing. As Freddy and Chica walked off the stage, Bonnie had walked to the curtains at the back of the
stage and gone behind them. She couldn't be seen before another show.
" Why doesn't she come to play?", ahild had asked, who was Bonnie's biggest fan.
Everything Freddy could say was: " Because she is woeful. I am afraid there is not much we can do right now". Right then Shadow
was the happiest fox in the world. He had just finished one song. His next one got Leslie's attention.
" This is our song!", Leslie said to Storm Jr, who was sitting on the ground with the kids: " Shadow and I made it. Its name is: Stardust".
Shadow only played the melody with his red flute, but Leslie sang the words as well. Storm Jr. and the kids she was holding listened to it.
The song was calm and relaxing.
" That is the second best song I've heard today", a girl on Storm Jr.'s shoulder said happily: " But Storm Jr.'s song is still the best".
" Oh thank you!", she said back. " You have sang?", Leslie asked.
The girl explained it to him: " Storm Jr. sang a classic song for us when we came here. It was beautiful".
" It seems that even I can be surprised by something", Leslie said. Storm Jr. smiled at him and he smiled back.
" You know children! I want to show him more of the pizzeria. He hasn't seen it all. It's just that I can't do it alone. You want to come with us?", Storm Jr.
said to the children. Every single one of them nodded.
" Well good. You guys are so helpful. I must tell your parents that their kids have been very good today", she said to them.
She looked at Leslie. He nodded just a little.
" I can do it. Don't worry", he said in her head. Storm Jr. stood up and helped some of the children to get down from her lap.
" So who's ready for the tour?!", she asked excitedly.
" Us!", the children yelled.
" So what are we waiting for? Let's go", she said. They walked in the pizzeria. They showed Leslie the Pirate cove's inside area that couldn't
be seen from the outside. They tried to go to the Circle of the hidden treasure. Leslie said that he had already been introduced to the Circle.
It was believed by the kids, but Storm Jr. knew better. The real reason was something else. They saw Mike pop up from his box.
He waved at them. They waved back. They walked around the Arcade palace next. Of course they met Bulldozer, Nadia and Balloon boy.
Bulldozer picked up Leslie like he was a feather.
" You are a strong guy. That's good", Leslie said. He also properly introduced himself to Nadia. Leslie hadn't noticed that she was blind.
He asked, how it had happened.
" I think we should talk about that somewhere else some other time", she answered. Leslie understood the point. They went around the pizzeria.
After a few hours the pizzeria was beginning to close.
" Freddy Fazbear's closes in fifty minutes!", Michelle's voice shouted from the speakers. She was in the security office that had the access
to the speakers of the place.
" Now before we all start to go to our homes, we'll go and say hi to Freddy, Chica and Bonnie", Storm Jr. said to the children.
Number of the kids had dropped to half. Children didn't want to leave, but their parents were already calling them.
They went to see the Farewell show, Freddy and Chica performed.
" Now finally our last show of today is over", Freddy said to his audience. He and Chica looked sad.
" Too bad. Is it really already over?" Chica asked: " It can't be".
Freddy nodded to her: " It is. I'm sorry. But hey! We will be here tomorrow as well. So how about we all have a good night sleep, so we can play again tomorrow?".
Children shouted: " Yes, Freddy!". Audience stood up and started to leave. Marionette wished them good night at the door.
Storm Jr. waved to the children and they waved back.
" Such nice children, eh!", she sighed.
" Of course. The children, who surprisingly weren't in danger", Leslie smiled.
" So it seemed to work?", Storm Jr. said.
" Jenner is powerful. This doesn't change that. We got to be careful", Leslie said. He walked towards the kitchen.
" Where are you going?", Storm Jr. shouted after him.
" I am hungry. I need some of that delicious pizza. If there is any left, of course", he shouted from the kitchen door.
Storm Jr. giggled: " Chica might have eaten everything already". Leslie went to the kitchen to eat and Storm Jr. sat on a chair.
She let out a deep sigh. Storm Jr. leaned back. She was blissful. She thought about Leslie and herself. They would dance in a meadow.
His hair would tickle her snout. They would fall over giggling. They'd be alone for a moment. No one to judge them or take them apart.
Clouds would create occassional shadows on the ground. Her humming core would be so close to Leslie's beating heart. They could kiss.
" Let's clean this place up!", Willa's shout woke her up.
" Have you been in sleep mode?", she asked.
" No..no! Wait what?", Storm Jr. asked confused. She had been sleeping. She lay on the floor.
" Come on! It's almost time to sleep", Willa rushed her. Storm Jr. went to help with the Circle. She thought about Leslie as she cleaned up the confetti.

( Leslie's mind. The nightmare side)

It was as dark as in a rainforest in the middle of the night. The place was dark all the time. No light could get through the evil that was covering it.
It was empty. No animals. No humans. No nothing. It was empty and still full of many things. All sorts of monsters growled and snarled in the shadows.
The darkness itself was alive and it had a desire to kill, rip apart and devour its victims. Something made noise. Footsteps came closer.
All the monsters and the darkness went quiet. No sound. Just those footsteps. Rotten and burnt feet walked in there.
It was dark, but still..there were shadows around the feet. They formed tentacles. Jenner was angry and the monsters in the shadows knew it.
" Have some courage. It won't be that bad", he said mockingly copying Storm Jr.: " Do not have courage! I hate people, who think they can be heroes".
Jenner walked in a circle and raged.
" That frivolous wolf has no idea, what she is talking about. Can't she just die? I am gonna kill her. Rip her core out of her chest", he said.
Jenner tried to calm down: " No! This is not what a real beast witch would do. Think. I can't take control of him unless I take care of the wolf.
She is just an animatronic. They are miserable failures". Jenner looked at the monsters: " I need to get out of this place. I can't stand these pathetic
nightmares anymore". He growled and the vicious nightmares backed off squeaking.
Jenner continued walking: " She must have a weak point. Everyone has. It's just that she has already messed up my plan.
Even if I would take care of her, Leslie would know how to stop me. He is so happy. He isn't scared anymore.
No matter how many animatronics are terrifyed, I can't take control. I need to find another way to mess things up. But how? Storm Jr.
will protect him to the bitter end. From anyone. Including me".
He smiled: " Unless of course...". Jenner laughed his deadly laugh: "That's the answer. From anyone! Love is so weak. It may betray her. And it shall".
He looked at the monsters and basked in his evil idea: " Adversities are part of life. You just gotta live with them.
And that's what beast witches are good at. Ready yourself, Lil Stormy. I am coming, my dear angel of death".

AN: He has a new plan. I am really proud of this one. Climax of the first act. There is still many other things to do before that.
While we wait for those: THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE IS TO WRITE.
