[Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria]
Jester sat down organizing his briefcase, and taking out all of his belongings, so he can see where to put things. He set his knives, and tools to his left, his small purse to the right of him, syringes next to the purse, and a blood and oil stained hacksaw besides his tools.
"Why do you have all of those things?" Michelle asked walking over to Jester, her mechanical feet making a clacking noise on the ground as she walked.
"What, these?" asked Jester pointing to his tools only.
"Well yeah but what about this?" she asked picking up the purse.
"THAT is someone else's purse, heh," said Jester reaching for it.
"Do you mind if I look through it then?" she asked giggling slightly when she moved it out of his reach.
"Who is Scarlett?" she asked.
Jester tapped his fingers together nervously at the question.
"Scarlett…is someone I used to know," said Jester reaching again for it," nobody important heh."
"Then you don't mind if I look through it if she wasn't important right?" she turned and opened the purse, looking inside.
Jester's ears went down, and his eyes widened as she looked inside the purse.
"Uhh, y-you don't want to see what's in there," said Jester trying to get it back," nothing is really…interesting in there heh heh. Now if only I can get it back."
"What's this?" she pulled out the diary laughing.
Jester let out a little eep as she pulled out a diary.
"N-nothing miss," stuttered Jester getting nervous," that is private property right there, and it belongs to m-I mean Scarlett."
"Oh... so she was important then, I will leave it alone then," she said, slightly crestfallen.
'So he is like me, he lost the one he loved...' she sighed and began to walk away.
Jester grabbed the Diary and held it closely to his chest, and looked up at Michelle.
Michelle picked up some of the trash around the pizzeria and threw it away before going outside. Jester put the Diary, tools, knives, syringes, hacksaw, and purse away before closing his briefcase. He locked his briefcase, and walked over to Michelle. A little page from the Diary fell out of the Diary from when Michelle moved it away from Jester's grasp, and it lay on the ground.
Michelle looked up at him and then back to the road.
"Please don't be sad," said Jester.
Jester gently grabbed her shoulder, and turned her around to face him.
She looked up into his face, she had some small scars around her eye and on her neck, her other eye displaying the emotions she was feeling: hurt loss and indecision," Yes jester?"
"Don't be sad," said Jester," Scarlett isn't my mate, or girlfriend. She is just someone…unimportant and…just dumb. She doesn't know anything, so she went off hiding. Don't worry about her, my only focus point right now is you. You help keep my sanity, and I like that about you. I will stop all this madness if it means to make you happy."
"But..." her voice trailed off as the sound of a soft rain could be heard." I don't care if I am happy, none of that matters, what matters is you." She said, not moving as the rain began to fall.
Jester heard the rain and sighed at those words.
"That means a lot to me," said Jester.
He picked her up gently, and took her inside of the Pizzeria. He lay her down next to his briefcase, and walked off to dry himself.
She stood up and followed him. "Do you want me to help you dry off?" she asked him, her eyes pleading.
"Uuh, but I..."
"Please?" she looked like she was hopeful but conflicted to him.
Jester stared into her eyes and couldn't resist it.
"Fine, come on," said Jester walking to the kitchen to dry off.
She smiled and followed him grabbing his hand, holding it in her own. Jester smiled as he felt her hand against his. They arrived in the kitchen and Jester grabbed some paper towels to dry off. Michelle Grabbed one of the dish towels, helping him dry off.
"You know in my universe, Chica is dead, this room hardly ever gets used," said Michelle.
"Well isn't that wonderful," said Jester," I sure hope it was a painful death…I mean that's horrible. Sorry about that, my mind is just so corrupted and dark that all I ever think about is pain, wickedness, death, blood, and gore."
"That's not true, you think of how to help me and that's good..." Her voice trailed off and she stopped drying him off and leaned into his back sighing, then humming in content.
Jester wagged his tail, spraying water drops all over the place, and listened to Michelle's humming falling into a trance.
"You're not bad, you just need someone beside you to help you," she said putting her arms around him," someone who can help you tell right from wrong."
Jester looked down at her surprised of the sudden embrace. He hesitated at first, but then rests his arms around her, embracing her into a hug. Jester thought about whether he should show her his real identity or not. Jester reached up to his mask and grabs the strap, loosening it, but stops.
'Should I, or should I not?' Jester kept asking himself repeatedly not knowing what to do.
Michelle tightens her grip on him and sighed," this is a good thing, people do this when they aren't afraid or like someone, and for me it's both," she said simply, but it was to where only he could hear it.
Jester's eyes widened at those words, and looked down at Michelle.
"You…like me? Like…like like me?" he asked her.
"I'm not sure about 'Like Like,'" she chuckled "but you are one of my friends, my only friend here... right?"
"Right," said Jester hugging her tightly," let's go back. I wanna rest."
"Okay," she nodded and broke the hug.
Flailing on the ground was the little page that fell out of the diary. Jester didn't notice it and went to his briefcase to make sure all of his tools and belongings were still there.
Michelle saw the page because her eye was built to track movement along with a few other things; she picked up the page and looked at it. It was a page from the diary and was written by Scarlett, and Michelle began reading it as Jester was fixing up his briefcase.
Dear Diary,
Today has been a rough day. I'm being hunted down by this purple human. He has already injured my leg and I can't walk or run very well. He stabbed my chest, and head, with a knife, but it didn't reach my wires to kill me, but it did corrupt my system and made me go crazy. My system is forever messed up, and now I keep seeing and hearing things that aren't really there. I'm scared and don't know what to do, I have been abandoned by the others. I am still in a dressing room and am gonna try to disguise myself as something else, or someone else. This is my only hope if I want to get away from this purple freak…I found a suit with a black bird beak, black trench coat, black top hat, black leather gloves, black pants, and big black boots. It's called a…"Plague Doctor" or something like that, doesn't matter, anyways, I need to put this on so I will be back…I'm back and I have hidden my whole body, and strapped thick straps, tightly, around my breasts, to press them down in my chest, so it hides my feminine shape. I can hear metal being thrown around outside the room, I need to find a way to change my voice as well…I found a voice changer thingy, and there is a setting for a male voice, so let's give it a try, I need to take the voice recorder and changer out and put it into this beaked mask, I'll be back again…alright, so I have fully been disguised. My voice sounds like a guy's voice, and I feel very weird. The purple guy is trying to break down the door, I need to hide and quick! Let's hope this disguise works out well…I found a giant black briefcase, and have put all of my stuff in there, my purse, scalpels, knives, a hacksaw that I found, and some syringes. We might need those later for protection or something. Wish me luck everyone. I love you. *Kisses to all my friends*…He fell for the trick and left me be, he saw me as a threat since the suit makes me appear bigger, so that's a good thing. He asked what my name was, so I looked around and saw this clown looking costume, with a tag that read "Jester," so that is now my new name. I must stay hidden or else he and the other animatronics might want me dead cause…well they abandoned me for a reason. So here I am, the new me. "Jester the Plague Doctor." I keep seeing, and hearing, all these things, I just want help and a friend again.
Love From;
Scarlett the Loving Wolf
Michelle read the paper and put it in her pocket, folding it neatly and walking with Jester like nothing had happened. 'h-she will tell me when she is ready,' she thought.
Jester looked back as he heard footsteps, and freaked out a bit, but saw it was Michelle and relaxed.
"Hehe, you scared me a bit," said Jester," I never thought it was possible to scare the mighty 'Jester.' Hah, good job Michelle."
"Sorry," she blushed apologetically," people usually hear me from a mile away..." she said looking down at her mechanical legs.
"Yeah sorry about that, uhh, my system..it's all messed up…I hear things and see things that aren't there," said Jester," that's what makes me feared by everyone. Aww…"
Jester saw the animatronics playing with each other happily. Jester looked at them in sadness, and envy.
She laughed and walked over to Jester," it's okay, people make mistakes sometimes, I mean look at me, I'm missing my arm, legs, and eye. It'll be okay." She said a reassuring tone in her voice and a smile on her face.
"Thanks Michelle," said Jester as he looked back at the animatronics watching them play and hang out with each other," look at them…having fun with each other."
Mangle held her miniature Foxy plush toy, smiling at it. Vixey watched her wide a cocked eye-brow. Mangle noticed her and sat up straight, hiding the Foxy doll. Vixey's eye patch flopped down, hiding her right eye.
'I want to play with someone again,' whined Jester in his head,' I miss the company…and the children…oh the children.'
"What about them?" she asked looking confused.
"They're having fun and hanging out with each other," said Jester jealous.
"Isn't that what we're doing?" she asked an eyebrow raised, but she was smiling.
"Yeah it is," said Jester a bit more cheerful now.
"So what do you want to do?" she asked looking up at jester, her eyes full of innocence and life.
"I don't know," said Jester," I don't really know what to do anymore. I haven't had a friend in years."
"Well..." she thought for a moment and then had an Idea," why don't we go for a walk?" she suggested.
"A walk?"
"Yeah, sorry I'm not that much fun, I know..." she said rubbing the back of her head.
"No, no it's not that, it's just…look at me," said Jester pointing to his beak and costume," people would freak if they saw me like this."
Michelle looked down at herself," and I'm any different? C'mon let's go!" she said pulling him along with her towards the front door.
"But I'm…aww fine," said Jester following closely behind.
Michelle walked outside and stretched, the rain had cleared and the sun was peering through the cloud line; making it almost look like the sun beams were pillars holding up the heavens.
"It's so nice right after it rains," Michelle said looking around.
"It is beautiful," said Jester with his hands behind his back, and staring up at the sky with his big crimson red eyes.
Michelle nodded and began walking down the sidewalk, motioning for jester to walk with her.
"So even though I can't see behind that mask I can tell something has been bothering you all day, wanna talk about it now that no one is around?" asked Michelle looking up at Jester.
"Nothing's been bothering me," said Jester trying to hide his true emotions.
Michelle nodded walking backwards to face him," if you say so."
"Yep, I'm fine, really, nothing wrong here," said Jester putting his hands up.
She laughed and looked up at him," well is there anything you do want to talk about?" she asked.
"I don't know…let me think," said Jester sitting down with one leg crossed over the other.
Michelle sat down facing him, holding her knees up to her chin. Jester looked at Michelle and chuckled lightly, looking away.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Just you," laughed Jester," you don't fear me, you don't ever take no for an answer, you're just a stubborn little one aren't ya?"
She smiled and rested her head on her arms.
"Yeah pretty much," she said with a sparkle in her eye.
Jester smiled, she couldn't see it, but he was. He reached up for his mask and pulled off one of the straps. He grabbed the other one, hesitating a little, looking at Michelle nervously. Jester closed his eyes and pulled off the other strap, with a click sound. Jester grabbed the mask and was fighting the urge to keep it on.
'No more hiding, no more,' thought Jester,' you need to hurry up and get out of hiding! Come on!'
Mike had been running for almost a half an hour, he was panting and sweat covered his brow, he saw Jester and then the woman with him.
"Oh no you don't!" he said forcing his body to run faster towards the two.
Jester was about to take the mask off until he heard someone running towards them. He immediately strapped them back on and faced the intruder, hiding Michelle behind him. Jester stared at him Mike through the mask, his legs opened up, and two ring blades came out of them. Jester grabbed them and held them tightly in his claws.
"Get away from that girl, I won't let you hurt her!" he yelled still charging at him.
"Stand back Michelle," said Jester," this is gonna be bloody. Close your eyes."
Mike stopped in front of jester "Run now and I won't hurt you" he said, getting into a fighting stance
Michelle did as jester asked. Jester wagged his tail as Mike got closer, but remembered what Michelle said, and lowered his blades. He put them away in his legs and stood up straight.
"Michelle, I'm not fighting…I made a promise," said Jester," I won't kill a human. You don't need to close your eyes."
Michelle looked at him and then at Mike.
"I think we can make an exception here," said Michelle.
"Well, tell this human to stand down, or he will get hurt," said Jester crossing his arms.
"I can hear you know, now you back down and leave the girl alone or I will hurt you," Mike said, gritting his teeth.
"Shut up human," said Jester," you back down, and why would I hurt this girl? I am protecting her from anything that tries to touch her, or hurt her, so stand down now, or you'll lose your head."
"You sick bastard, don't try and fool me," Mike said wiping the sweat from his brow," move now, or else."
Jester glared at him, and he was steaming in anger.
"I am not attacking this girl," said Jester standing up taller," she is my only friend, why would I kill my only friend in the universe?"
Jester's mind was corrupting from irritation, and he was twitching, unable to calm down.
"You are more twisted than I thought, I may have to destroy you just to stop you from hurting anyone," he said waiting for jester to make the first move," now come at me!"
Jester looks at Mike and thinks of the Purple human as he said that. Jester's vision flashed white, blinding him. Jester held his face in his hands as Purple Guy attacking him flashed in his head.
'You can't,' said a raspy voice.
'You can't.'
Mike stepped back a few paces. Jester looked up at Mike with white eyes, seeing the Purple Human slitting the throat of a blonde girl. Jester's eyes began flashing and looking all around. He couldn't see Mike anymore; he began walking towards Mike without knowing it.
'I'm going insane,' thought Jester,' I know I am. He's not real, and if he is then I'll kill him. This is a hallucination, that's all, calm down. It's just a hallucination.'
Jester relaxed and looked away from Mike, and walked towards Michelle. Mike stepped up quickly as Michelle began moving away slowly, she was scared.
"Leave her alone!" mike hit Jester in the back.
Jester growled and spun around fast, lifting Mike up by his neck, and pulling his ring blade out.
"I'm not trying to attack her for the last time," said Jester in between gritted teeth," so leave me alone already."
Jester let him go and walked towards Michelle again, sitting by her. He looked at Mike, and back at Michelle.
"You both are the same being," said Jester," my scanners say so…this is weird just like Marionette and Mike."
Mike focused in on Michelle.
"How…" he looked down to his soul sphere and then back at her," how are you out here?"
Michelle got up and walked over to him. She paused for a moment and then slapped him with her animatronic arm.
"OW!" Mike yelled holding the side of his face.
"That's what you get!" she said walk back over to Jester checking his back
"Are you okay?" she asked him
"I'm fine," said Jester," I'm not weak dear."
Mike held his face.
"That hurt you know," he said before straightening up," you are the other half of my soul." Mike said looking at Michelle
Jester sat down relaxing, and looked at the two humans talking.
Mike pointed to Jester," and who is he?" he asked Michelle accusingly," he could be working for the council!"
Jester rolled his eyes annoyed, and crossed his arms.
"He's not! Jester is different, he's special..." she said looking at him, Jester couldn't quite tell what was in her eye.
Jester turned to look at them and smiled as Michelle defended him. He couldn't tell that look in her eye.
"So? What if he is playing you?" Mike said crossing his arms," show me proof that he is good and I will believe you."
Michelle crossed her arms as well and nodded.
"Fine," she put out a hand for Jester," c'mon lets head back to the pizzeria."
"What for?" asked Jester grabbing her hand.
"We are going to prove to my other half that you are the good person, I know you are!" said Michelle irritantly.
"Uhh, okay," said Jester.
Mike walked behind them and Michelle leaned her head on jester's arm as they walked back. Jester smiled as she did and carried her in his arms instead, continuing walking towards the Pizzeria. Mike shook his head.
"So how are we gonna prove it to him?" asked Jester.
"Maroinette and Mike"
"Oh great..."
"what?"
"He still hates me."
"Oh... but he will tell Mike the truth right?" she asked a hopeful look in her eyes.
"He should," said Jester.
Michelle looked at him and put her head on his chest," good."
Marionette looked at them with a smile on his face, he saw Mike behind him and was curious on who he was. Mike was looking down his messy hair was blowing in the light breeze, he was deep in thought.
"Here's Marionette…yippee," said Jester quietly to Michelle.
Michelle got down and looked at Marionette," hey, I have someone you need to meet."
"A visitor," said Marionette smiling," wonder who it is."
Michelle motioned for Jester to move out of the way, and he did just that. Marionette saw the other dimension Mike, and doesn't say anything.
"You are?" asked Marionette.
Mike stuck his hand out," hello, name's Mike Schmidt, I assume you are this dimension's Marionette?"
"Yes I am," said Marionette accepting his hand," how did you get here from your dimension if I may ask?"
"A portal, your elders or something like that opened a world from another world and I was in limbo... it's a complicated story," he said rubbing the back of his head.
"I see," said Marionette," well nice to meet you Mike, even thought there are way too many Mikes in this dimension now…so what did you guys need me for?"
Mike pointed to Jester.
"My other half, the one you call Michelle says that this monster is a good person and they said you could vouch for him," Mike said crossing his arms.
"Jester eh? Well, he certainly isn't good," said Marionette," yet, but he has been changing. Your other half has been keeping him calm, and relaxed somehow, but don't worry about it. He's not dangerous towards her; this is the first time I've ever seen Jester be protective over another living being."
"hmmm..." Mike nodded and turned to them," fine. If Marion is cool with it then I am."
He turned back to Marionette," where is the Mike of this Dimension?"
"Right here," said Marionette as his eyes changed to white, with black pupils," I'm Mike Schmidt."
"So what did I do to screw up so bad I lost my body?" asked Mike taking a step back.
"That would be me lad," said Fang walking up to them," I killed the Mikey here, but that was his fault."
"Okay, I did nothing bad, I am best friends with all the animatronics here when I was still human, but during a battle between the new and the old," began Mike," I dressed up as Foxy, and fought Fang, to protect my friends, and well…"
"I stabbed his gut with my hook, and he bled out," said Fang," but Marionette saved him I guess cause I was torn to pieces by them all for revenge."
"Now Fang here is with us," said Mike," I do hope to get my own body soon though, like my own animatronic body, but I don't know what animal to be exactly."
"Be a wolf," said Fang," cause wolves are better than Foxes."
"That a challenge?" asked Foxy a distance away from them.
Fang walked away and towards Foxy laughing, and just chatted with them.
"So yeah, nothing bad, I was just killed by the Pirate Wolf Fang," said Mike.
"Wait... you dressed up as Foxy... you were aware that she was a girl right?" asked Mike.
All the animatronics stopped doing what they were doing and Foxy glared at the other Mike. Vixey was beside him looking away, not wanting to see what he might do.
"Ye call me a girl lad?" asked Foxy.
Mike put his hands up.
"Right... sorry the Foxy in my universe is a girl," said Mike.
"Alright lad, just don't call me a girl again," said Foxy as he hugged Vixey.
Mike shook his head thinking to himself. Marionette smiled and patted his back, pointing to the Fazbear crew introducing him to all of them. As he did, Jester walked away from them. As Mike was introduced to Chica he hesitated.
"Don't worry, I don't bite," said Chica.
"That's Chica, Bonnie, Freddy, Golden Freddy, Foxy, Vixey, Crystal, Fang, Storm, Storm Jr., Balloon Boy, Foxy Jr., Toy Chica, Toy Bonnie, Toy Freddy, Mangle, Bulldozer, our Mike Schmidt, and Mr. Fazbear. The other animatronics aren't a part of our Fazbear Crew yet, they're just here to stay, and help us defeat the Elders, and just need a place to be safe," said Marionette.
Mike hesitated a bit as he was introduced to them all. They all just gave him a warm smile, and welcome.
Jester walked away and sat down going into sleep mode. Michelle sat next to him, and leaned on his side, yawning as she was tired. Jester smiled and brought her closer to him. Jester lay down on the ground and was put into sleep mode.
'My name is Jester…no…it's Scarlett,' thought Jester in her head,' time to stop hiding. I need to fight back this madness holding me back…I'm Scarlett, not Jester. Thanks Michelle…for making me open my eyes to see the real world. I'll get rid of the disguise tomorrow.'
