Everyone one watches as the two animatronics make their way over to them. The two golden bunnies stopped in front of the group. The larger animatronic raises his hand and says in a slight southern accent "Hey there. I am Spring Bonnie, or just Spring if ya like. This here is Plushtrap." The little plush waves his hand rapidly. "Hi! I'm Plushtrap!" Daniel walks up to Plushtrap with a blank face and then pushes Plushtrap onto the ground. Plushtrap makes an "oof" sound then says "Hey!" Daniel simply looks at Plushtrap's right foot, and finds his name there in messy marker. He closes his eyes and gets up. Then his head snaps upwards and he shouts "My freaking lost plush is a possessed animatronic now!? How much weirder can this get!" Everyone else just stares at Daniel, with the Puppet being slightly amused. Daniel just glares at the ceiling, as if cursing some higher being, and then sighs. He looks down at Plushtrap, who is grinning widely. He just glares at him and says "Ok. Who is in my plush and WHY!?" Plushtrap just gets up and walks over to Daniel. He stops by his arm, Daniel looking at Plushtrap confused. Plushtrap suddenly opens his mouth and clamps it onto Daniel's hand. Daniel's eyes and mouth snap open as he shrieks, running around trying to shake and pry Plushtrap off. Vincent simply sweatdrops at the scene and says "So that's why the toy is called a finger trap." Skylar simply shakes her head and sighs in exasperation as Daniel runs around the room screaming, while Plushtrap hangs onto his hand.
Spring Bonnie's hand lowers in slight shock and sweatdrops. He then shakes his head and turns to the group. "Anyways, we did hear the introductions and that touching scene, so no need to introduce yourselves." Goldie just nods and goes over to Spring. He throws an arm around Spring's shoulder and smirks. "Were you the one who said for Plushtrap to bite Daniel's hand?" Spring just smirks as well and Goldie takes that as a yes. Goldie walks back over to the group and says "Well, now we need to introduce the Toys properly. Want to get Plushtrap off of Daniel, Marion?" The Puppet, or Marion, nods and then crosses his arm. He flicks his left arms wrist and five strings appear around his wrist and shoot towards Daniel. Three of the strings grab Daniel's legs and torso, causing him to stop running. The other two wrap around Plushtrap and pulls him off of Daniel's hand. Marion flicks his wrist again and the strings retract and disappear. Bonnie scoffs at Marion "Pff, show off."
Daniel falls to the ground and pants slightly. He checks his hand and winces slightly at the many shallow, yet bleeding holes in his hand. Suddenly left eye starts glowing slightly, and the wounds close rapidly. Daniel simply blinks, then gets up and walks back. Marion and Vincent, however, are stunned at what they saw. Vincent stares at Daniel, and Daniel looks back confused. "What?" Vincent just looks at him, then says "Do you even know what you just did?!" Daniel just tilts his head slightly and looks even more confused "What?" Marion shakes his head and says "You just did something that shouldn't be possible. That was easily magic energy I saw, but a living being shouldn't be able to use it." Skylar looks at Marion as confused as Daniel is "Magic? Like fairy tales?" Vincent shakes his and says "No. Similar, but no. This magic is something only the dead or spiritually gifted can use, normally anyways. This magic is also called spiritual energy, and is within every being, dormant. It only becomes active in one of two ways. One, being you dieing. This unlocks your magic as it is required to live as a spirit. This is also what allows spirits to possess things, fly and even go through walls. The other way is being in a "spiritually gifted" family, like mine, or being gifted yourself. These people usually gain access to their magic through deals with the dead and blessings. It's how my family can see and communicate with spirits." Daniel just blinks, then scratches his head. "So you're telling me that I am a "spiritual gifted" person?" Marion nods "It is the only possible way, unless you are dead, but I highly doubt that. Anyways, we can investigate this later. For now, we need to hurry up and introduce the Toys. It is 4 AM, close to 5."
Daniel checks his tablet and does indeed find the time to be 4:56 AM. He looks up and says "Ok then. Let's have the Toys introduce themselves." Toy Freddy steps up and says "Ok. I am Toy Freddy, but I just prefer Fred or Ted." Toy Chica walks up next and says "Hi! I am Toy Chica, but you can call me Tia!" Toy Bonnie goes forward and stutters out "H-Hi. I a-am Toy B-Bonnie, but I-I prefer B-BonBon." Mangle steps up next and puts her paws on her hips. "Hey there. I am Toy Foxy, but I prefer Vixen or Vixey, and don't you DARE call me Mangle!" Daniel just nods rapidly, slightly scared of Vixey's temper. Balloon Boy hops forward and says "Hi! I am Balloon Boy, but I like the name Bill too!" Marion floats forward and says "Well, you already know me. I am the Puppet, or Marion. Whichever you prefer." Goldie nods then says "Ok everyone. That's it for tonight. It's time for the night guards to close up the place and get going." The guards nod and the animatronics go their separate ways, going back into their places. The guards walk through the main hallway, talking with each other. Suddenly Daniel's hair stands on end and he turns around. He doesn't see anything, but could've sword he saw two white eyes watching him. Skylar turns around and says "Hey slowpoke, you coming or not?" Daniel just shakes his head and turns around saying "Yah. I just thought I saw something, but it must of been nothing." Skylar just whistles and says "Wow. Deja vu moment." Daniel just chuckles nervously and says "Yeah…" Daniel walks out with Skylar and Vincent, but can't shake the feeling that something bad will happen soon.
Time: 9:19 PM
Daniel walks into the pizzeria after closing hours, finding Skylar and Vincent waiting for him in the dining hall. Skylar waves and says "Hey Daniel! We stayed like you said, but you do know the animatronics don't wake up for another 3 hours, right?" Daniel says "I know, but I think Marion can wake up at anytime, since he attacked me in night 1 before 12, and I need you three to help me with something." Vincent asks "Help with what?" Daniel says "I'd prefer only to explain once, so let's wait till we get Marion." Vincent nods and the three head into the Toys area. They walk down the hallway and, strangely, find Marion seemingly "pacing" in the air. Marion turns his head and floats over to the night guards, now noticing them. He stops in front of the group and says "Ok, so why are you here so early?" Daniel says "Well, last night when leaving, I thought I saw two white eyes looking at me. It felt more than just my imagination, and I needed to ask you since you seem to be the spirit expert." Marion simply floats downwards and shakes his head, mumbling "I can't believe it. I was hoping I was wrong, but I guess they are back." Skylar tilts her head slightly in confusion, saying "Who's back?" Marion looks at her and says "Two vengeful spirits, who we simply call Shadow Bonnie and Shadow Freddy, due to their appearance. They were two workers here who used the springlock suits. They both died in a springlock failure, and they blame the company for their deaths. Ever since they have followed and haunted humans who are in the staff here. They rarely kill, but they can create extremely vivid illusions of the horrible memories of this place. These visions can almost always turn the victim completely insane. Springlock failures and murders are quite traumatic when seen in person."
Suddenly a new voice appears behind the group and says "Right you are, Puppet." Everyone quickly looks at where the sound came from, and find a shadow-like Bonnie and Freddy behind them, grinning wickedly at the night guards. Shadow Freddy leans forward slightly and says "Goodnight." Suddenly the tune "My Grandfather Clock" starts playing and Marion starts floating downwards, eventually collapsing on the floor asleep. Daniel stares at Marion in shock and turns around, only to meet a black fist coming towards his face. The next thing he sees is darkness.
