FNAF: What's Inside

Chapter 5: Déjà Vu

Braedan

Fred and I walked towards the entrance, dodging children and parents alike.

"So... Where's Balloon Girl?" I said as I paused and looked around.

"Um... She's usually near the doors, but... She's not here." Fred replied slowly. "I mean... It's pretty close to closing time, so she could be talking with someone else."

"Maybe she's talking to the band?" I asked as we looked around.

"Let's try that." Fred agreed. We walked over to the main stage, keeping an eye out for Balloon Girl.

"Fred, on your six." I said jokingly. Fred turned and saw Balloon Girl laughing as she talked with Chica.

"Got em in my sights." Fred joked as we walked over to them.

"Sup." I said with a small smile. Balloon Girl smiled and waved.

"Hello again!" Balloon Girl said happily. "Hi Mr. Fazbear."

"Hello there, Mr. Night Guard." Chica slyly said. "Just telling BG about the news."

"Okay. Anyone else need Braedan? Or can we go see Jeremy now?" Fred groaned.

"But I wanna keep talking." BG pouted. "I only just found out."

"Sorry. Fred's kinda impatient." I explained. "I guess we can talk later though."

"Okay." BG grumbled. "See you later... I guess." Chica just waved before heading towards the kitchen. Fred and I both headed down the hall to the office.

When we reached the office, I knocked on the door frame.

"Excuse me? Delivery for Jeremy Fitzgerald III." I said as seriously as I could.

"Ah. Is my package finally here?" Jeremy replied.

"Yes. Two best friends as ordered." I said with a grin.

"Come on in!" Jeremy said with a laugh. Fred and I stepped inside the office and sat down next to Jeremy. Jeremy had short black hair, blue eyes, and a friendly face. He was about the same age as me and roughly six feet two inches tall.

"So, are you done moping?" Jeremy asked me with a smile.

"I wasn't moping. I was recovering from a painful experience." I said sarcastically.

"Of course! I'm so sorry for insinuating that wasn't the case." Jeremy said. We all just looked at each other and broke out laughing. I put an arm around each of them.

"Sorry for my absence, but I'm back. We're back." I said quietly.

"Ya got that right." Fred said with a grin. "The three children of Freddi Fazbear's Pizzeria are back again."

"And this time, we're ready for anything." Jeremy chimed in.

"Hey. I'm here too! Don't I get some respect?" We all watched as the pouting ghost formed in front of us.

"Sup." Jeremy said to Red with a small nod. Red jokingly bowed.

"Hey Red." Fred said with a smile. " How's my favorite ghost?"

"All and all… pretty good. Kinda hungry though." Red said jokingly. "If only I could eat a pizza right now… I really miss it. At least I don't have to hide in the security office." Red said as he sat down on the desk. "Here, I'm king."

"So who's the queen?" Fred asked with a small smile.

"Goldie. Unless you know of any other ghosts haunting this place?" Red replied.

"Fair enough. Is Goldie still not talking to anyone?" Jeremy asked quietly.

"I'm still trying her to open up to me. You guys are next." Red explained as he stretched. "Anyway, am I being left out or not?"

"Red did keep Braedan safe." Fred admitted. "And he helped us out too."

"True…" Jeremy mused. I stared at them.

"Helped you with what?" I asked.

"Nothing. We'll tell you later." Fred and Jeremy said together.

"Okay, okay." I said. "What about… the three brothers and the mysterious uncle?"

"I like it. Mysterious. Has a nice ring to it." Red said thoughtfully.

"Then it's official." Jeremy declared. We all broke out laughing again.

"All right guys, let's break out the root beer!" Jeremy said as he reached into a mini fridge.

"Alright!" Fred said as he accepted a root beer. "Drink up!" Red just smiled before fading away.

"I'm gonna keep trying with Goldie." Red said. "Don't kill yourselves." We all looked at each other.

"Sir, yes sir!" We yelled together. Fred immediately started laughing while I saluted the place where Red had been. Jeremy just leaned back in his chair.

"I've really missed this." Jeremy said quietly as Fred and I leaned back as well. I suddenly sat up as I heard a knock.

"Hello?" I asked as I got up and looked outside the door. "Hey! Jenny!" Jenny had short brown hair, a slim build and a kind face. She was a year younger than Jeremy, but like her brother, she was one of my best friends.

"Don't' 'Hey Jenny' me." Jenny said angrily. "You guys are hanging out without me?" Jeremy and Fred looked at each other.

"It's your boyfriend's fault. He's in charge." Jeremy said quickly.

"Dang it." Fred pouted. "Now Jenny's gonna be mad at me." Jenny just smiled.

"Nah. I had to finish cleaning up anyway." Jenny said before sitting on the desk. "So… what we talking about?"

"You know, Red, root beer, reminiscing, etc." I said absentmindedly. "You gonna tell me what Red did yet?"

"Fine." Fred exclaimed. "Red keeps Goldie under control now."

"So… he just keeps her from generally causing chaos?" I asked.

"Pretty much. You remember how bad she was at first. Back then, he only managed to keep her contained. Now, he's getting closer to helping her out." Jeremy explained.

"Is that where Red is right now?" Jenny asked. Fred just gave her a thumbs up.

"I say we just enjoy life for a little while." Fred said as he leaned back.

"Sounds good to me." I said before closing my eyes.

10:30 PM – Security Office

I opened up my eyes and sat up. Jenny was sleeping on Fred and Jeremy was packing up his bag.

"What time is it?" I asked as I got up.

"Um… 10:32." Jeremy said as he checked his watch.

"Cool. I gotta grab my stuff from home." I said as I headed out the door. "Remember to wake the love birds!"

"Got it!" Jeremy replied.

11:49 PM – Entrance

I walked back into the restaurant with my workbag in hand.

"I'm back." I said as I walked along the brightly lit halls to the security office.
