The next day, I decided to prepare a birthday party for my son, Max, who was going to turn 10 this year, I was really excited. My parents never had enough money to take me on trips, but they still showed me how much they cared for me. So today, I was going to show my son around the diner, before opening. I still had my key from when I was a manager, I guess Foggy forgot about it, idiot. As we drove to the entrance, I wanted to show Max how the animatronics weren't that scary. Most people knew about Fredbear, Spring Bonnie, and the Marionette, but they didn't usually see Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken, or Foxy the Pirate Fox. That was because these four were prototypes, with advanced mobility, intelligence and versatility. I specially designed them myself, my degree in mechanical engineering really paid off, and thanks to my genius design, we were able to save money for the company, after we realized that we were getting ripped off by that company in Guangzhou, China. It was why these Springlock suits, while safe still required lots of maintenance to operate. We thought about phasing out the golden suits and replacing them with the new animatronics, unfortunately they still had quite a few bugs to be worked out. Freddy was a little slow, Bonnie kept falling apart, Chica couldn't walk around the restaurant, and Foxy kept shutting down when exposed to bright lights.
"Ok Max, are you ready?" I asked as pulled up into the parking lot.
"Yes, daddy," Max replied.
"I'm here to show you around the restaurant, you've never been here during the night shift right?" I asked.
"No daddy, but I bet it'll be pretty cool," Max replied with enthusiasm.
"That's the spirit," I answered. "Ok here we go," as I unlocked the doors and the two of us entered Fredbear's. "Ok son, here's this flashlight, I'm giving it to you just in case you want to explore on your own, Ok?" I asked.
"Mm-hmm," Max replied.
"Alright, so here's the show-stage with Fredbear and Spring Bonnie, look at that, isn't that neat," I asked.
"Wow, it's amazing," he said.
"Yeah, Ok now, I wanna show you something really cool," I said, "follow me." We walked past the dining area and the arcade into the Parts/Services room, "Ok, here we go."
"Wow, I never knew these existed." Max replied.
"Yep, and I want to show you something cool," I clapped twice and Freddy came online.
"Hello there friend," Freddy said.
"Hi Freddy," Max replied.
"Do you wanna hear a song?" asked Freddy.
"Yes please," Max said. Freddy stood up and in the light, we saw the brown fur on Freddy's face light up as his blue rimmed eyes shined like headlights, Freddy began playing the Toreador March and Max was grinning from ear to ear as Freddy sang his song, when it was done, Freddy removed his hat and took a bow.
