Not as long of an author's note this time. Just wanna say that as far as I've seen, Security Breach doesn't have a set year, just that it is after 2023. So, I went with the latest year that came up when I searched for it.

(???? POV. Place and date unknown.)

It's not gone... HE'S not gone. How could this have failed? How could I have failed? I had one chance. One shot at this and I blew it.

I NEED to find a way to try again. I'm just not sure HOW to do so. Wait... is there something above me? Did someone build over this place? Maybe something up there can help...

(Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex, 2029)

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Fazbear Entertainment would like you to put your hands together for the one, the only, Freddy Fazbear!"

It'd been a normal day as far as most people in the pizzaplex knew. Nobody in the crowd knew that there'd been a kid sneaking around parts of the building that guests weren't allowed into. Or that said kid had hidden from the security guard inside the star animatronic himself.

It was mid-performance before Freddy even noticed anything wrong. There was an error in his system, one he didn't quite understand. Whatever overcame his system caused him to collapse and shut down.

Chica was the one to rush to his aid. She'd noticed a few twitches beforehand and was concerned to say the least. Each of them had quirks, but Freddy's were minor. She hurried offstage with him, leaving Roxy and Monty to attempt covering for them.

Chica's concern escalated into actual worry when the Parts and Services crew couldn't figure out the error, instead putting Freddy on reduced power and taking him to his room. Unfortunately, there wasn't much she could do about it and was sent back to wrap things up with the guests. After all, it was better to only be down one animatronic than to be down two of them.

Many children questioned if Freddy was okay, and the other three members of the band did their best to make things seem okay. Even if they weren't quite sure themselves if something was really wrong.

(Later that night, "lost child" POV)

I can't believe I wasn't caught earlier. I have no clue if me being in Freddy made him fall, but when he was in Parts and Service, I thought for sure I'd be found. I couldn't see what had happened, but I did hear the technicians talking. They sounded tired and like they didn't want to be here. Not that I could blame them. I guess since they couldn't just immediately figure it out, they decided to save the issue for another time.

Usually, I would've gone in one of my secret rooms to escape that blonde lady, but I wasn't near one and she wasn't far behind me. So hiding in the bear was the best plan I could come up with. At least it worked.

Now the question is how to get out of Freddy's room without drawing attention. I haven't been in here before. I've seen it through the glass, but that's about it.

It's starting to get warmer in here, Freddy must be powering back on. Maybe I wasn't the problem then? Cause he'd still be powered down if I was, right? I was right about the heat meaning he's coming on. Now I can see out of here, like I'm using his eyes. I'm not sure why I can see out of his eyes, but it was kind of cool while we were onstage.

"Showtime already? I am experiencing a malfunction."

Oh, great. I hid in a robot that talks to himself. Loudly. And does he not realize the show is over or something?

"Would you shut up?" He looks surprised hearing my voice. Well, as surprised as a metal bear can look, I guess.

"Who said that?" He asks. I could be sarcastic, mess with him a bit. That's what dad would've done. But I want to be out of this situation as soon as possible, so I decide not to.

"I did! Down here!"

"Down... where...?" He questions, clearly confused. "I still do not see you..."

Dumbass. Do you not notice the voice coming from inside you?

"Okay, look." I'm trying very hard not to insult the bear. He's clearly not smart, but I don't want to make him mad, he's clearly bigger than me. "While you were sleeping, I opened your stomach hatch and climbed inside."

"My stomach hatch...?"

I literally JUST said that. You don't need to repeat it.

"That place is reserved for piñatas and oversized birthday cakes! It is NOT a safe play area!" He sounds like he's scolding me.

This conversation is pointless, so I climb out of his stomach hatch.

"There you are!" He says, leaning down to scan me. Joke's on him, I know he's not going to find anything. "Scanning complete. How odd... your guest profile is... unknown to me. Who are you?"

"I-I'm..." I start talking before even thinking. I should've ran for the door. I should've not said anything. Common sense screams that he's going to take me to her. But something else tells me that he won't. I don't know why I trust him. The robots act human-like, I'll give them that, but they still have programming. Why is Freddy different? Whatever it is about him, I feel safe enough to say my real name, and not one of the multiple fake ones I've used before.

"Gregory..."

"The animatronics here do get a bit quirkyat night." Is all my brain could think of when I typed the part about each of them having quirks.

I hope anyone reading this likes it so far! ~TransPurpleWitch
