Time: 6:39 PM
After getting some rest Daniel headed back to the pizzeria to speak with the mechanic. He entered the restaurant and looked around for the mechanic. He couldn't find them and decided to check the backstage area to see if they were working on something. He opened the door and saw two people speaking. One was a young woman with long bright red hair, a large scar on her left eye, a white hoodie and black pants. The other was a man with a dark purple security guard suit, signifying a senior security guard, a gold badge that said "Head of Security", light purple skin, pure white eyes and dark purple hair tied into a short ponytail at the neck. Daniel stared at them for a moment before he coughed awkwardly. The two stopped talking and looked at him. The girl stared at him for a moment before she gasped in surprise and yelled "Daniel?!" Daniel looked at her for a moment before gasping as well and yelling "Skylar?!" Skylar nodded her head fervently and smiled broadly while running at him. She hugged him tightly and said "I missed you! I haven't seen you since last Christmas!" Daniel hugged her back and said "I know. I called but it didn't work and I thought your phone changed. I couldn't find it though." Skylar smiled embarrassedly at him and said "Well I forget about that. We finally met again!" Daniel chuckled and said "Yeah. By the way, I never knew you became a mechanic." Skylar then stepped back and smirked "Yah! One of the best too since I learned from this old man here." The man in the purple suit scowled playfully and said "Hey, I'm not that old yet." Skylar chuckled and then looked at Daniel and said "Hey Daniel, what did you come in here for anyways?"
Daniel then said "Well, um…" How do I keep them from knowing about the animatronics killing guards? They'd think I am crazy! While Daniel was thinking of a possible answer the purple man walked up to him and said "Hey, you are the new night guard right?" Daniel snaps out of his thinking and nods. The purple man then said "Well then you know of the animatronics'… little secret?" Daniel gasps slightly and said "You know of what they do at night?" The man then said "Yep, and so does Skylar." Daniel looked at Skylar and she nodded. Daniel then breathes out a breath of relief that he doesn't need to hide the secret and says "Well you see, Foxy came into my office and screeched at me last night, causing me to somehow scream so loudly I disabled the other animatronics." Skylar then looks at him with a blank face and says "So you caused that earthquake?" Daniel just stares at her, then chuckles sheepishly. He then coughs and continues "Anyways, Foxy's movement got disabled for a bit and I started… poking him." The other two just stared at him with blank expressions. Coughing again in embarrassment he says "Well, Foxy didn't like it and told me to stop. I got shocked he could speak, but we spoke for a bit anyways. The entire time, before I convinced him otherwise, he thought I was someone else. I think the animatronics' sight, or at least Foxy's, is broken." Skylar nods her head and says "Alright. I'll take a look at them" She then turns and leaves.
The purple guy then walks up to Daniel and says "We never introduced each other. My name is William Vincent Afton, but you can just call me Vincent. I am the Head of Security and sometimes the stand-in mechanic." Daniel then says "Well, I am Daniel Terres." The two shake hands then sit on the working table to talk. "So Daniel, why'd you decide to work here?" Vincent says. Daniel then says "Well, I needed money. Also I became an orphan at an early age and became… um… traumatized because of an incident. I couldn't hold many jobs due to my extreme social anxiety caused from the experience. This is simply another job I could have and, well, I have mixed feelings about it." Vincent raises an eyebrow at that and says "Oh?" Daniel, realizing Vincent wanted an explanation, said "Well, if you know how the animatronics act at night, then you can understand the bad part." Vincent closes his eyes and nods his head "Yeah. They do get quite worked up when they find out a new night guard is here." Daniel then says "Yeah, but I'm not sure you'll believe me on the good part." Vincent smirks at Daniel and says "Try me." Daniel just looks down and stares at the floor. Eventually he says "Well, the 87' incident. The, apparently, "Missing Children Incident" was the traumatic experience. I wasn't one of the kids in the incident, but I did see the crime. I don't remember much unless I have a flashback, but I do remember that the murderer wore that Spring Bonnie suit, and had purple-peach skin. Kinda like… you." Daniel, not sure if he would offend Vincent, was very hesitant in the last part. Vincent simply sighs and says "Yes, I know. I am almost certain my psychopathic brother Michael did the act, but I have no evidence of him doing it. He managed to break the camera in the room and I was in another part of the pizzeria at the time, the diner area."
Daniel stares at him then scowls "So your brother did it huh?! And what was so important that the disappearance of multiple kids didn't come first!?" Daniel's voice was raising as he talked until he was practically screaming at Vincent. Vincent winces at Daniel's statement and then says in a quiet voice "You know of the Bite of '87?" Daniel looks at him confused, then shakes his head in a negative. Vincent sighs then says "Well, on the same day as the disappearances, another incident happened. A child got his head stuck in the mouth of the Fredbear animatronic and… well." Vincent coughed slightly and says "Well, Fredbear sings. Eventually his mouth would close." Daniel's eyes widen in shock at what was said and looks down. Vincent just continues "That kid lost his frontal lobe and went into a coma. He died 5 days later. That kid… he was my son." Daniel looks at him with wide eyes and said "I-I. I'm sorry." Vincent shook his head and said "No, don't be sorry. It happened in the past, but since you shared your story, it's only fair I share mine."
Date: 07/13/1987
Vincent knew that Gregory hated going to Fredbear's, but he needed to host the party there so he can keep an eye on him. Vincent was called in to do the day shift today since a strange person was seen watching the pizzeria. Vincent watched as Gregory nervously walked around the pizzeria, clutching his Fredbear doll like his life depended on it. Vincent, expecting Gregory and his older son Michael to be fine in the establishment, started walking to the safe room to do the daily check. When he got to the room, however, he found the Spring Bonnie suit to be gone. Worried, because that suit was extremely dangerous, he rushed into the security room right outside to tell his friend Henry Douglas that the suit was gone. Henry was a man of average height and wore glasses. He had poofy, curled black hair and some freckles on his cheeks. He wore the normal light blue security guard outfit for most new guards. When Vincent told Henry the suit was gone, Henry instantly wore a face of worry and started cycling through the cameras. However, right before the backstage could be seen, they saw the main dining area. Everything seemed normal. Fredbear was singing on stage and the Fazbear gang was singing off to the side. But what worried Vincent was that he saw his son Michael and his other friends in masks of the Fazbear gang, holding on to Gregory's arms and dragging him to Fredbear. Vincent was angry at this display his oldest son was making and was about to go over when he noticed something horrifying. The group of kids seemed to be talking and slowly surrounded Gregory. Gregory was bawling at this point and then the group lifted him by the arms, towards Fredbear's mouth. Vincent's eyes grew wide in shock and ran as fast as he could to the dining room. However, right as he turned the corner, he heard a sickening CRACK and a loud, pained scream. Vincent stared at the scene in complete shock. There was his son, his sweet little boy, on the ground of Fredbear's stage, a flood of blood coming from the huge chunk missing in his frontal lobe. Vincent's eyes started tearing as he screamed in panic and anguish and ran to his son. Everyone else stopped what they were doing and looked at the scene in shock. Vincent was bawling, crying over his son's now pale face. Vincent leaned over Gregory's chest and listened to his heartbeat. Vincent heard a small beating noise and instantly knew his son was alive, but not for long. "SOMEONE PLEASE! CALL AN AMBULANCE!" he screamed hysterically. Some people, finally getting out of their shock started yelling and trying to get 911 notified. Vincent was crying hysterically, clutching his son to his chest. "Don't worry. Daddy's here. Daddy will make sure you get safe." Vincent said in between choked sobs. Eventually the police and ambulance came. Vincent hurried over to the paramedics and yelled "PLEASE! SAVE MY SON!" The police cleared everyone else out while the paramedics hurried to stabilize Gregory for the trip to the hospital. They did the best they could and eventually the ambulance left, the siren blaring loudly. Vincent, who was worried about his son immensely, grabbed Michael by the arm and got him in the car. Vincent got in as well and drove off to the hospital, hoping his son would live to see another day.
Back to the present
Vincent was silently crying as he told the story, Daniel having a somber look on his face the whole time "My sweet little boy, my Gregory, died five days later. He couldn't be saved anyways. He was brain dead by midnight." Daniel looks down and says "I lost my parents at a young age. 5, I think. They died in a car accident, coming home from a business trip. I don't remember much about them, but I do fantasize with what I remember. I don't know if it would, but maybe telling me about Gregory would help?" Vincent just nods and says "W-Well, Gregory was extremely kind. He had a heart of gold and was extremely sensitive. He cried a lot, be it for himself or others. But he also didn't hesitate to smile and help others. He wanted to be a performer when he grew up, specifically a puppet performer. He may have feared the animatronics, but the Puppet? He loved that thing. I would've gotten him a puppet plush if we had any at the time." Daniel listened silently and just nodded his head at the end. Vincent wipes his eyes to clear the tears and chuckles, saying "Well enough mushy stuff for today. Let's go see how Skylar's doing." Daniel nods and they head out of the room.
Vincent and Daniel head over to Pirate's Cove and open the curtain. Skylar is there with Foxy deactivated, looking at his head's endoskeleton. Foxy's old head was off to the side, a new and cleaned one next to Skylar. Vincent coughs and Skylar turns around. "Oh heys guys," she says cheerily. "I was just finishing up Foxy's recognition software. Some glitch was in there, making them all see purple instead of blue and peach." Vincent looks at her with a raised eyebrow and says. "That's an odd color change." Skylar nods and turns back to Foxy. She tweaks with a couple wires and adds on the new head. "There all done," she says.
Skylar gets up and looks proudly at her work. Unknowingly though, a dark figure is approaching her from behind. "RAAAARRRR!" Daniel yells with Foxy's old head on. Skylar shrieks and jumps in the air. She turns around panting, only to find Daniel on the floor laughing and Vincent trying to hide his chuckling. Skylar yells at Daniel "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO!? Give me a heart attack!?" Daniel gets up and tries to stifle his laughter. After he calms down enough he says "S-Sorry. It was too good to pass up. Anyways, how's Foxy?" Skylar says "Well, his recognition software is fixed, he got a new head, which includes a new jaw. I also fixed up the other animatronics recognition systems. Couldn't get to the Toys though. This took too long." Vincent nods then turns to Daniel "Say Daniel. You mind if we join you on the night shift tonight. The pizzeria is already close to closing and we need to monitor the changes." Daniel then asks nervously "But if you guys know of how they get at night, why try to join?" Skylar then glares at him and says "What, think we can't handle our own animatronics?" Daniel shakes his head and starts stuttering "N-No. Th-That's not w-what I meant!" Vincent just chuckles and says "Hey, I am the Head of Security. I think I know how to handle a few animatronics." Daniel just looks down and reluctantly nods his head. Skylar grins then says "Alright! Now who wants some pizza!" They all nod and head out to the dining area. Unknown to them, however, Foxy activated again during the conversation and was watching Vincent the whole time.
