1983 was the starting year of success for Charles Afton and Eric Emily. These two grooving guys have been childhood BFFs and are prodigies in robotics in high school, but they usually spend time together at cabarets. That is until one day; they saw a grizzly bear in Utah on their way back home. Then their fates were sealed as they came up with the idea of a cabaret full of animatronic characters. Because both of them are prodigies of robotics, they use their untapped potential to create the most realistic female humanoid bear they can muster.
This humanoid animatronic bear's name is Fredbearina.
Charles Afton and Eric Emily ensured the female animatronic bear looked attractive from every angle by giving her a voluptuous figure, including big breasts, slim waist, thick thighs, and firm glutes. They also gave Fredbearina eyelashes to add to the beauty of the animatronic. She was also given hair covering her cheeks and bear ears painted gold with a fancy suit, including a purple hat and bowtie, to prove that Charles Afton and Eric Emily have public decency in creating animatronics.
Charles Afton, known for being a touch more intelligent than Eric Emily, insisted on using an AI so Fredbearina would be aware of her surroundings and could even roam in the cabaret. Eric Emily thought this decision might be dangerous but followed Charles' plan. Charles puts the AI inside the Fredbearina animatronic to see if it functions perfectly. During their first test, Fredbearina would show her personality made to be suave, seductive, and hot-blooded, allowing her to swoon the audience that happened to be holograms of various people.
However, the hologram people got a little too handsy with Fredbearina, which resulted in her backing away from the crowd. Seeing how the first test didn't work as well as they hoped, in addition to this being a future problem for their business, Eric Emily proposed that he and Charles Afton should create another humanoid animatronic to accompany Fredbearina. This time, the animatronic would be a rabbit. Charles Afton agreed to his best friend's idea and would work on the animatronic the next day.
This humanoid rabbit animatronic's name is Springbonney.
In creating Springbonney, she was given the same gold color as Fredbearina and a purple bow tie. She was also given the exact voluptuous figure as Fredbearina, but she has rabbit ears and long hair that extend past her shoulders. Once again, she has a fancy suit to prove that Charles Afton and Eric Emily have public decency. Charles Afton immediately put an AI inside the animatronic to have the same suave, seductive, and hot-blooded personality as Fredbearina.
The second test played out exactly how Charles and Eric wanted it. After that, they started investing in things related to working in a cabaret. After months had passed, they had enough money to open their first cabaret in Utah. And for the years to come, the cabaret was an absolute success, becoming beloved by the young adults of Utah. It has food most people would eat, drinks to chow down, and even performances by Fredbearina and Springbonney during the evening. Because of the massive success of the location in Utah, Charles and Eric were quick to act on opening more locations in other states of America to continue their ever-lasting success.
This place would be known as Fredbearina's Cabaret.
Unfortunately, things started going downhill real fast near the end of 1983. Charles Afton's family consisted of a mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, uncle, and aunt whose names are off the record, who visited Fredbearina's Cabaret in the evening. Charles Afton's family wasn't proud of the only child of his parents creating a cabaret, as they disapproved of his deviant behavior carrying over to being the CEO of a workplace. Charles tried to convince them he was beyond that point of his life, to no avail. When Charles' family threatened to close down Fredbearina's Cabaret, Charles felt forced to kick his own family out.
After that, Charles Afton's family disappeared on December 31st, 1983.
The Afton Family's last appearance occurred at the highway to Fredbearina's Cabaret at closing hours. Charles told the media that his family was acting weird and aggressive when he tried to make amends to his family before their disappearances. No evidence or footage was found or linked to the Afton Family's disappearances. Despite the investigation in Fredbearina's Cabaret, the place is safe to reopen after the authorities never found any hazardous conditions. The case was left unsolved.
These disappearances became known as the Vanishing of 83'.
In 1987, Charles Afton and Eric Emily continued their business as co-CEOS of Fredbearina's Cabaret. In 1985, they built four new female humanoid animatronic characters because of the increasing number of customers. A brown bear named Freddrina, a purple rabbit named Bonney, a yellow chicken named Chyka, and a red fox named Foxy. They all got the same voluptuous bodies, personalities, and suits as Fredbearina and Springbonney. But Freddrina has a black hat and bowtie, while Bonney gets an electric guitar, Chyka is holding a cupcake, and Foxy has a hook for a hand and an eyepatch to show her pirate vibes.
Charles and Eric start noticing a handful of children looking at the cabaret, with some of the customers being parents of said children. Before they began their business, Charles Afton had thought of the idea of a kid's version of Fredbearina's Cabaret. When he told Eric Emily this, his colleague had no clue what to name a kids version of Fredbearina's Cabaret, but Charles Afton had already come up with one name.
And so, Fredbearina's Family Diner was born with kid-friendly versions of the animatronics.
Luckily for Charles and Eric, Fredbearina's Family Diner became a hotspot for birthday parties for most children in America, resulting in money flowing faster than before. Much like Fredbearina's Cabaret, the Family Diner opened in the other states of America, further fueling Charles and Eric's already-raging fires of success. And Fredbearina's, as a whole, became a multi-media empire with a TV Show, action figures, and plushies. But good things can only last for so long after only four years.
Charles Afton started to notice his best friend acting hatefully towards him. When Charles had a private conversation with his colleague, Eric Emily claimed that Charles killed his family and caused the Vanishing of 83'. Charles tries to talk down to his friend and say he didn't have anything to do with the disappearances of his family and that the culprit was framing him, but Eric Emily doesn't believe a word Charles said. When Eric threatens to shut down Fredbearina's Cabaret and Family Diner, Charles is forced to strip his best friend of his position as co-CEO.
After this, Eric Emily was never seen or heard from again.
Charles Afton told the media that Eric Emily disappeared after he left the original location of Fredbearina's Family Diner in Texas. The authorities launched an investigation at Fredbear's Family Diner while also checking where Eric Emily's car was. Once again, the case was ultimately left unsolved due to not finding any evidence or footage of Eric Emily's disappearance. Charles told the media that his friend framed him for killing The Afton Family. Much like Fredbearina's Cabaret, Fredbearina's Family Diner is safe to reopen due to not finding any hazardous conditions within the building.
The disappearance of Eric Emily became known as the Vanishing of 87'.
In 1993, Charles Afton released a new job post in Fredbearina's Cabaret and Family Diner for one more employee to be a nightguard. This new job post was made to ensure that the Afton Family's and Eric Emily's disappearances wouldn't occur to any future victims. The job would pay the nightguard $10/hourly and $1,680/week to anyone applying for the job, and with the expectation of being promoted every year, should the nightguard show dedication to the job.
This story takes place in Fredbearina's Cabaret in Utah, and the horrors of being a nightguard there are real...
