Dancing Shadows

Summary

The Animatronics find their whole lives changing after only one night with the new night guard. But that's not the only thing, this sassy and sarcastic wolf girl seems like she's hiding secrets, but will the animatronics really want to know what Ruby's hiding underneath? And when they do, how will it effect both the animatronics and Ruby?

The Sassy Wolf Girl

I sat in the office chair, I was munching on a chocolate candy bar when the telephone rang. My ears up in alert and my tail fluffed up.

"Hello, hello?" I was about to pick up the phone, but I then realized that it was just a recording. I then hopped on top of the desk to listen.

"Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night."

"You didn't have to do that you know." I said, my ears up and tail wagging.

"Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about." The voice on the phone attempted an optimistic tone.

"Overwhelming? Babysitting four animatronics? Three Moons! Please, that's a peace of cake." I chuckled.

"Three Moons! So maybe drunk teenagers?" I quipped, as I laughed again.

"Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?" I just rolled my eyes.

'Three Moons! What's so dangerous about this place anyways?' I thought to myself, with a raised eyebrow.

"I can actually imagine the cheesy, overly-happy grin he gave while he said that." I cocked my head to the side.

"You didn't give a name. What about Snow. I like the name Snow." I grinned happily.

"Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know." Snow said.

"UGH! Not the boring stuff. Can't we skip it Snow? Please?" I flopped on my back on the table dramatically, knocking a few itams to the floor.

Snow continued, heedless of my Plese. I just pouted at the phone in response.

"Um, "Welcome to Fredy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon as property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced."

"Three Moons! What the heck?" My voice was ice cold. I raised my ears and scowled at the phone, as if glaring at it would help.

"Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about." Snow continued on hurriedly as though he could feel the death glair being directed at the phone.

"No no. Don't blah blah me. What kind of place has a policy like that? That's ridiculous! Your a squid brain!" I stared at the carpets suspiciously and lifted my feet up slightly.

"Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too."

"Quirky? What do you mea- wait they never get a bath?" I pulled a face. My ears lowering in discomfort.

"Yeah, I'd be cranky to I guess, but I kinda like the songs." i muttered to myself with a pout.

"So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay." Snow's beaming smile could be felt even through the phone, and tapes and stuff.

"Yeah they're pretty cool. My favorite was always Chica. I also liked the Puppet, she's like a ninja because she's so silent when she walks." I grinned happily.

"So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wonder a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night."

"Okaaaaay." I deadpanned with a roll of my eye and a twich of my tail.

"Uh... Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for to long." I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Three Moons! What the heck!" I questioned, crossing my arms with a glare.

"Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too."

"But then there was The Bite of 87." I paled at that, I gulped and took a shuttering breath.

"Three Moons! Your crazy! What in the name of Pyrrhia is wrong with this place?" I snapped, as my eyes narrowed in a glare again. I growled and pricked my ears.

"Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?"

"THREE MOONS! WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU? THAT IS NOT AMAZING!" I nearly screeched, my ears going straight up in alarm.

"Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risks to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person."

"Three Moons! Are you trying to scare me or something Mr. Phone Person?" I growled. I then pouted at the phone.

"They'll P-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without it's costume on."

"Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to... forcefully stuff you inside a Fredy Fazbear suit." Snow sounded uncomfortable.

"Um, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort... and death."

"Three Moons! Not cool dude. That is NOT COOL!" I glared, crossing my arms.

"Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh."

I let out a wolf-like growl in response, my ears twitching.

"Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up." I laired pointedly at the phone in response.

"Three Moons! No. Kidding." I bit out. Narrowing my eyes and glaring at the phone.

"But hay, first day should be a breeze." I just rolled my eyes at that.

"I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night." The phone went dead.

"Three Moons! Forget. That." I growled and looked at the cameras.

A girlish giggle suddenly filled the room and I turned sharply and scanned the room with narrowed eyes.

"Hmmm. Never mind, it was probably just my imagination." I remarked, with a slight frown. I shook my head in exasperation as I turned to the door.

'Let the game begin! I wonder who will come at me first?'I mused to myself as I walked down the hallway.

I giggled to myself as I skipped down the cora-door, my ears twitching at the slightest movement.
