CHAPTER 3

The next few days went very well. Foxy became used to the children, although his aversion to the adults grew. He wasn't even sure why, but he did not like them. Nonetheless, he gave them the respect he needed to, though no more.

No guard had appeared at night yet, though Freddy had noticed several people go in to talk to the Boss. The Boss was the only adult Freddy had respect for. Probably because he was the only adult that gave the robots some level of respect. Freddy hoped that the Boss would find someone suitable for the job.

A week had passed since Freddy had told the others about the new guy that would be hired, and Freddy made sure to keep an eye on everyone, especially Bonnie since he was up to his usual mischief. Even now.

Freddy spotted Bonnie heading to the kitchen's storage room, probably to steal food. Freddy sighed, and went to stop him before he could make a mess. No one else knew about the fact that the robots were sentient except for the Boss. Probably because if anyone was told they would either not believe it, or the restaurant would be shut down, and that would be the end of the world for the animatronics. As far as anyone knew, they just had really advanced A.I.

Freddy figured that the night guard would have to be told about them, and he felt sure that the Boss would surely warn the night guard before hand.

One night, when the animatronics were sitting at their usual table, Foxy asked a question similar to what Freddy had been thinking.

"Do you think that the night guard will know about…well…us?" Foxy asked.

"I'm sure he will. It would be difficult if he didn't know. And I don't think the Boss is that kind of person." Freddy answered. This seemed to calm everyone's nerves. Which was good, since they got word the next day that someone had been hired.

The day went quite normal. Freddy noticed the new night guard was getting a tour of the place before he was to work tonight. He was shown the animatronics from a distance. Freddy couldn't hear what they were saying, but Freddy was sure that the Boss was telling the guy about their…peculiarities.

Soon enough the pizzeria closed for the night, and the robots sat down to until the night guard's shift started at midnight. Foxy couldn't keep still since he was too curious about this new guy. What kind of person would he be? Foxy was excited to meet him. It was safe to say everyone was excited, yet anxious. They still could not understand why a night guard was being hired in the first place. 11:30 came around, and everyone looked up from their sitting places on their respective stages to see a young man entering the dark building.

He was rather short, yet strongly built, and was wearing the standard purple uniform. His hair was dark, and as he approached the animatronics on the stage, they could see that his eyes were brown.

"Just wait to see if he knows about us. We don't want to scare him."Freddy whispered, and the others slightly nodded their agreement.

As the man got closer, they became aware of a terrible stench coming from him. They were not quite what it was at first, but their programming told them that what they smelled was called alcohol and that it was not good for humans. This worried Freddy increasingly fast as his programming told him more and more about it and the effects that it could have. Freddy immediately wondered how this man had gotten a job there. It was possible that this man was not the one responsible for the consumption.

"So! This is the infamous crew, up close." The man said, his face right in Freddy's. Freddy wanted to belch as the terrible breath of the man blew in his face. This man was definitely consuming alcohol, but Freddy kept his composure, not moving.

"Freddy the bear. Chica the.. what is she supposed to be? A duck? And Bonnie. That's a girls name, right?" He said, laughing to himself, kicking Freddy. It seriously pissed off every single animatronic there. Still, they remained still.

"Huh. That guy said they were living creatures. Ha, what a moron." He said, leaving down the hall, into the office, leaving four angry animatronics behind.

"What on earth was all that?!" Bonnie raged, the anger in his face clear.

"I'm not sure." Freddy said, frowning after the place where the night guard had gone.

"That was ridiculous!" Bonnie continued. "He even had the audacity to say I'm a girl! I do NOT look like a girl!"

"Bonnie, calm down." Freddy said.

"I understand, Bonnie." Chica said. "He actually called me a duck. I'm clearly a chicken!"

"He completely ignored me." Foxy grumped from his cove. "He acted as if I wasn't even here!"

"Ok, just everyone take a deep breath. I admit that it wasn't a great first impression, but maybe if we get to know him better..." Freddy trailed off as the clock struck twelve. Immediately, Freddy knew that they were all in deep trouble.
