Greeting: Zero nights! Not one, not five, zero. Zero nights to the Beginning.
The thrilling part starts now. Enjoy the chapter, my faithful readers.
And the other guys: Welcome! Good to have you here.

( Vixey and Crystal. In the morning of the Beginning. Pirate cove)

Foxy had gone to speak with Fang about performing together on that day.
The pirate foxes and the pirate wolves were performing together a lot since they were similar characters.
Vixey had stayed at the Pirate cove with her daughter Crystal.
Unlike some, Crystal had been sleeping well. She couldn't have slept better.
Crystal was energetic after recharging if not her battery, then at least her spirit.

Vixey was watching Crystal make her bed.
The Pirate cove needed to be ready very soon.
Bonnie had told Vixey that she had heard the kids outside. Vixey agreed that there was a lot of positivity in the air at the moment.
There was a specific reason for that. That day was not just like any other day. There was going to be kids surely but not the same way as usual.
That day was meant to be something very special.
There was a reason for Foxy and Fang to discuss their performance.
It was the field trip -day!
One of the coolest days of the year. The dancing day of Freddy's was more important though but still.
It was an important day for education. The children had a lot to learn that day.
How does Kristian and the other kitchen staff make those delicious pizzas?
What does Mr. Fazbear's office actually look like?
How many pizzas do they have to make in one week?
So many questions needed an answer. Plus, the kids loved making field trips to Freddy's.
As if they weren't there enough. But the field trip was not just about playing and eating pizza.
The staff and the animatronics had made up a plan to introduce the children to the secrets of Freddy's.
Bonnie and Kristian the chef had promised to work as guides during the field trip.
Freddy's pizza gave the children an opportunity to see places which they wouldn't see normally. The kitchen, the office and the basement.
So that day was special for the children too.

Mr. Fazbear was going to be gone for the day as well. He had promised to go to school.
Not as a student but as a visitor.
Mr. Fazbear was going to talk about his job there. There was going to be a crowd of people there.
Luckily, he didn't have to talk to all of them at once.
Mr. Fazbear's plan was to visit different classrooms and talk to the students, in there. It was going to take all day but Mr. Fazbear liked it that way.
He had a chance to meet some of the students personally and answer their questions.
This year, he was going back to his old elementary school. That exact same place where he got his own education from.
The animatronics would have to survive on their own for one day.
" We have fought teleporting animatronics, lads. Surely, we can handle a few kids", had Fang pointed out in the previous evening.
Mr. Fazbear had told them to remember not to go wild like last time.
Those kids were there to learn, not to play around all night.
Freddy had promised Mr. Fazbear to take care of that.
" We are here for them, Mr. Fazbear, don't worry. We will teach them", had Freddy said.
" Eventually", had Freddy added in his mind.

Those were the things Vixey was thinking about when she was looking at her daughter.
Crystal was so happy that it made Vixey smile too. Crystal was going to have so much fun with the children.
She had made up many educational games for the big day.
Willa and Storm Jr. were going to join her as well. Or at least Willa was going to.
Crystal wasn't sure about Storm Jr. anymore.
Storm Jr. walked past the Pirate cove and didn't respond when Crystal greeted her happily.
Crystal looked at her with sadness in her eyes. Storm Jr.'s teeth were clacking as if it was really cold or something. Crystal was warm at least.
It was a sunny morning outside and the radiators were on inside the pizzeria. There was no way that Storm Jr. could have felt cold at the moment.

Most likely, Storm Jr. wasn't going to come and play games with her, Willa and the children.
It was a real pity. Most of the games were really funny.
Crystal had finished making the bed and went to Vixey.
" What do you say, mom? Beautiful, isn't it?", Crystal smiled at her.
Vixey nodded pleasedly.
" Good job, Crystal. You are getting good at this", Vixey agreed with her.
" Should this be my daily task from now on? It would save dad a lot of time", suggested Crystal.
Usually, Foxy had made up the bed in the mornings. Vixey thought about making it Crystal's task.
" Why not? To be honest, you are better at making the bed than Foxy", Vixey revealed a secret.
Crystal blushed and tried to hide it.
" Thanks, mom", she covered the cheek that was facing Vixey.
Vixey chuckled and pulled Crystal towards her.
" Just don't tell Foxy okay. He thinks he's the bed making champion", Vixey told her jokingly.

The two female foxes came off their ship and went to the Circle where Fang and Foxy were.
" I think yer ship is better. It's bigger and the wall is larger", Fang told Foxy.
Their job was to make a story about the history of Freddy's. They had to censor some bad situations of course.
The children had no need to hear about Jeremy or Fritz.
Even the teachers at the school had suggested that they wouldn't talk about the missing kids. Foxy and Fang had both agreed.
" How are you doing? Finished?", asked Vixey.
" Oh hi, dear! Yea. We've got it in the bag", Foxy said in his normal accent.
Then he looked back at Fang.
" So it's on yer ship then? You agree with me?", Fang made sure everything was set.
Foxy smiled at him.
" Arrr! I agree with ye", Foxy said in his pirate accent.
Fang and Foxy crossed their hooks and then Fang walked away.

" Sounded like an interesting discussion. What's on our ship, dad?", Crystal asked out of curiosity.
" Just a blanket. We decided to show the kids some old pictures of the pizzeria. We will be using a projector and a white blanket to project the pictures on.
We need a wall that's big enough to put the blanket on", answered Foxy.
Crystal nodded to him as she understood it.

The three foxes hung out together for a while.
Foxy was telling them about his plans and they were sharing theirs as well.
Vixey would have wanted to be on the main stage but it belonged to Freddy's crew.
Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Felix had reserved it earlier.
Those four had joined together as two couples. Freddy and Bonnie were together as well as Chica and Felix.
They had wanted to do something love related in the afternoon.
That performance was an old one, a really old one.
Back then, Foxy had been on stage instead of Felix but Felix had replaced Foxy as Chica's husband.
Vixey was pretty okay with that.

" You can join Scarlett and Michelle if you want to. They'd be happy to have some help", Foxy suggested, smiling.
" Yeah! They're doing Mr. Fazbear's paper work. Lame!", Crystal explained to Vixey.
" It might be fun, Crystal. You'll never know unless you try", Foxy said in a hopeful tone.
Vixey chuckled.
" Let's just greet the children first. I'll decide later", Vixey grinned at the thought.
" Yea, dad. Even mom thinks it sucks", Crystal mouthed behind Vixey's back.
Foxy just smiled at her.

They walked to the front door where the kids were waiting.
Crystal waved at the children through the front window.
Springtrap was waiting by the door like an excited dog. He had crouched and he had a big smile on his face.
Golden freddy was right behind him.
Everyone, especially Marionette, would have wanted to tell Springtrap to hold back his excitement a bit.
But who could have ruined something so lovely and adorable?
Bonnie went to the door and turned the handle. The people thought it was cool that an animatronic opened the door.
It made it really feel like their pizzeria.
Bonnie opened the door and told the customers to come in.
The children ran inside as a huge tsunami of shoes and colorful clothes.
Most of them were really young and Springtrap got pushed back by all of them.
" Hi! You are here. They are here", Springtrap's voice revealed that he had missed them.
The kids had not even taken their shoes off yet. Marionette felt a bit embarassed.
It was weird to see Marionette and his cringing expression stand beside the smiling Golden freddy.
" Okay, Springtrap. Your fur is gonna get dirty. Come on, let them take their shoes off first", laughed Golden freddy.

Foxy and Vixey were not so close to them. The older kids came to them and gave Foxy a few high-fives.
The parents came in the last.
Some of them were familiar faces and some were new. Marionette welcomed them to Freddy Fazbear's pizza.
Marionette kept on greeting them normally until a surprising person came in.
" Nice to see you...Jenny?", Marionette greeted her.
It had taken a second for him to realize that Jenny had come in.
She was wearing a fur coat, which was probably why none of the animatronics had recognized her.
Jenny smiled at him and shook hands with him.
" Nice to see you too, Marionette", Jenny chuckled.
To be honest, Jenny did not seem as happy as she tried to seem. There was a weird look in her eyes. She seemed...sad.
Marionette realized that she hadn't come there to eat pizza and play. Jenny had a backpack, which implied that she had expected to stay for a long time.
Jenny looked like above all she needed a peaceful place right then.
A noisy dining area was not a good place.

Marionette took her to Mr. Fazbear's office where Scarlett and Michelle were already at work.
" Scarlett! We got a special visitor", Marionette showed her Jenny.
" Oh! Hi, Jenny", Scarlett greeted her.
" Hello, Scarlett. And you were?", Jenny glanced at Michelle.
They hadn't met all that much so they did not know one another well.
" My name is Michelle", Michelle shook hands with Jenny.
" Please put your coat to the coat rack, Jenny. You look really tired", Scarlett was really helpful.
" Thank you", thanked Jenny.
Marionette had to leave since his show was about to begin. Jenny sat down and sighed.
" Wow. Are you alright? Your forehead is red", Michelle noticed.
Jenny nodded to her.
" If you let me, I would like to order a pizza. I've been driving all night and haven't eaten anything", Jenny replied.
Michelle went to the kitchen and told Kristian to make a pizza with ham. Soon enough, Kristian brought the pizza in.
" There you go, miss. I hope you enjoy the meal", he nodded politely.
Jenny smiled at him and thanked him.

Scarlett and Michelle let Jenny eat the pizza. She was exhausted and hungry as a giant.
Right then, Jenny couldn't even think properly. She had come across a few problems on her way to Freddy's and it had messed up her journey.
She was out of every single energy you could think of. She was tired, exhausted, thirsty and hungry.
Marionette had gotten worried about the day. Jenny had come to bring them a message of some sort.
She was too tired to tell it right then. They would have to let her sleep.
In the mind of Marionette, it couldn't have been a big problem.
It probably wasn't anything extremely urgent.

Marionette went to his box and began to perform with Mike.
Crystal told Willa, Eclipse and Storm Jr. about Jenny when she met them.
" Oh, good. That must have something to do with the escaped animatronics. It has something to do with Okami I presume", Eclipse shrugged.
Willa frowned.
" I think that a simple call would have done the same thing. Frank is so old that he doesn't know how to use a phone?", Willa giggled.
Crystal giggled at the joke.
" That's mean to say, Willa. You should be ashamed", Crystal chuckled.
They had not noticed that Storm Jr. was thinking about something. Her eyes had widened.
" The darkness left a survivor", she mouthed.
Willa and Crystal did not notice that but Eclipse grabbed her shoulder.
" Are you okay, Storm Jr.? Come on, girl. It's nothing to be worried about. Think! Maybe they have caught Okami.
Finally that evil thing is behind bars", Eclipse tried to bring out the positive possibilities.
" Thank you, Eclipse. I'm just thinking about what I saw last night. I hope Jenny doesn't prove my fears", Storm Jr. smiled at him.
Storm Jr. was not depressed, she was just worried.

It was like a cloud had just went in front of the sun. Storm Jr. was stressed and the sudden appearance of Jenny was making her feel uneasy.
She had seen a horrible nightmare again the night before.
She had seen a giant ball of black goo which had had hundreds of thousands of hands reaching out from it.
The goo had been screaming in pain. There had been lots of animatronics running away from it.
She had seen Fang and Storm get caught by the hands. Those things had ripped their skins off and left nothing but their endoskeletons.
In the middle of all the mess, Storm Jr. had seen Jenny run towards her. She had seemed to be the only survivor.
She had jumped towards Storm Jr. with a fearful expression on her face.
Then the ball of goo had exploded and all the goo had covered Storm Jr.'s eyes.

The nightmare had stopped there. It had just ended.
Now, Jenny was in the pizzeria. Storm Jr. was breathing heavily and if she had been able to actually sweat, her back would have been covered in sweat.
Eclipse noticed it.
" I can see you are scared. I would really like to help you if I was able to", Eclipse was worried about her.
" You guys okay?", Willa's question interrupted their conversation.
Willa and Crystal had noticed that Storm Jr. was uneasy. Eclipse shrugged.
" Storm Jr. is scared. She thinks her nightmares have something to do with Jenny", Eclipse sighed.
" No! That's not it! You understood it wrong", corrected Storm Jr.
" I saw Jenny in my nightmare last night. She was reaching out for me. It can't be a coincidence, Eclipse", Storm Jr. told him.
" You did?", Crystal asked her.
At that moment, Crystal was convinced that something was wrong. She didn't need any further proof.
Willa, however, was more skeptical about this.
" What do you think this could mean, Crystal? It's just a nightmare. And you are neither a witch nor a prophet, sister", Willa told them.
" So you are saying that this does not make you worried? Seriously?
Storm Jr. has gone through a lot since Leslie showed up and we learned about all the magic and stuff.
I mean, Ornica the witch has been talking to her", Crystal tried to talk sense into her.
" And...?", Willa frowned.
" I thought that...maybe Leslie or someone is trying to use Storm Jr. as a way to warn us about something", Crystal suggested.
Willa found it hard to believe.

Eclipse realized that Willa and Crystal would not make any progress.
" Well..can't we just go to Jenny and ask her. If she can't tell us anything useful, nobody can", recommended Eclipse.
Willa and Crystal nodded to him agreeingly.
" How about you, Storm Jr.? You think you're up to this", Eclipse asked her.
" It would definitely make me feel better if that's what you mean", she answered him.
It was set then!
They walked to Mr. Fazbear's office to ask Jenny a few questions only to find out that Jenny was asleep.
Michelle and Scarlett were trying to work as quietly as possible.
" We took her to the second room so she could get some rest. Try not to wake her up even though it might be very hard.
She was extremely tired", Scarlett advised them.
" Don't worry. If she isn't awake, there no reason for us to go there", Crystal shook her head in disappointment.
" You can go talk to Vixey. She went there a couple minutes ago", Michelle told them.
" Mom? What would she be doing in there?", Crystal's eyes widened in surprise.

Michelle shrugged and continued working.
The four young animatronics walked into the second room as quietly as possible. The window had been blocked with a blind.
It was dark enough to sleep in there. They almost made Vixey jump by being so silent.
" Crystal, dear. What are you doing in here?", Vixey whispered.
" We came here to talk to Jenny. What you are doing in here, mom?", Crystal answered.
Vixey was sitting next to Jenny who was sleeping on a couch and Vixey had gone into her mind.
Jenny was sleeping like a cat. She was not going to wake up soon.
Vixey looked at Crystal and the others carefully. She looked like they had just found her stealing their pizzas.
" I came here to check if she was alright. That's it", replied Vixey.
Eclipse was capable of reading minds so he tried to sneak in and check what Vixey was thinking at the moment.
" Make them go away. We don't need them here", Dark vixey said in Vixey's head.
" They're suspicious. We have to tell them", Vixey told Dark vixey.
" I don't want them to make everyone panic. We need to keep this.. Wait, Vixey. He heard everything", Dark vixey detected Eclipse in their head.
She caused pain to Eclipse and threw him out.
Eclipse groaned in pain.
" What's wrong, Eclipse?", Storm Jr. asked him.
Eclipse smiled at her.
" I got the information I needed from her head. Seems like Dark vixey knows something. She led Vixey here", Eclipse told the others.
" And there went the peace. Stupid, god damn brats", Dark Vixey cursed.
" Mom", Crystal placed her hands onto her hips.
" We didn't want to worry you. Just please leave us be.
We'll soon know what Jenny knows and then we can do something about whatever is happening", Vixey tried to get them to leave.
" I'm sorry, Vixey. I'm afraid you are gonna have to tell us", Eclipse crossed his arms.

Vixey looked at the four animatronics. None of them were going to leave the room until Vixey would tell them what she knew.
Vixey sighed.
" Should we tell them, Dark vixey", Vixey asked her.
" If we don't say anything, they'll make us talk. So tell those cursed brats what we know", Dark vixey sounded very annoyed.
" Fine, guys. I'll tell you", Vixey promised.
Crystal, Eclipse, Willa and Storm Jr. stood there listening to what Vixey had to say.
" You see, Storm Jr. has not been the only one seeing weird things. Something has been calling Dark vixey at night", revealed Vixey.
At that point, Dark vixey took over the body.
" It's like the bell in my home town. A town that was destroyed a long time ago. I can feel the voices calling me to join them.
I want to go to them but I'm stuck in this body. They make me want to join them. Like I'm meant to be with them", explained Dark vixey.
Vixey was then able to talk again.
" I can feel them too. They're so angry and full of..hunger. The call makes us see things. We see lots of death and suffering", Vixey explained.
" Is that why you always go to the restroom at night? You said Dark vixey had a headache", Crystal was shocked.
" I lied", Vixey looked at the floor.
" We also see other things. They're less evil but still as haunting. The things, we see, are not nightmares. They're real.
We can't understand them. They are unclear and weird. Like for instance, according one message, Eclipse is..", Vixey said.
" ...a traitor. A traitor of worlds", said Storm Jr. with widened eyes.
" What? You have seen that same message too?", Vixey opened her mouth.
" What is that suppose to mean? You are not a traitor, are you, Eclipse?", Willa looked at Eclipse who shook his head.
" I'm no traitor. Your voices are lying", Eclipse put his hands up.
" I believe you, Eclipse. There is no sweeter and more loyal wolf than you", Storm Jr. smiled at him.
Vixey sighed.
" Jenny might help us understand what we hear. Can you please go outside so we may finish what we came to do?", Vixey asked them.
They nodded and went outside. Vixey kept on trying to steal Jenny's memories.
If it was going to work, it would take time.
Unfortunately, time was something they didn't have. The Beginning was right around the corner.
It was going to start in less than three hours. The long journey had ended.
They were finally there.

With Him.

Farewell: The Beginning is in the next chapter.
Goodbye, all my readers and hear my word when I announce: THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE IS TO WRITE.
