1 year later...

The owner of the Fazbear's family diner is now broke. His business went down into the ground and he had no job. The murder case was not solved. They didn't have any witnessess and the murder weapon was nowhere to be found. But one day everything changed.

The owner had a visit from his son, who hasn't seen him in years. The doorbell rang and he walked to the door to open it. It was an unexpected visit, so he was surprised. When he gave him a proper greeting, he gestured him to come in. Unlike him, his son wore a really nice suit.

First, they talked about their lives. They haven't seen eachother ever since the son got married and moved. He finished college and had a job in a fast food factory called 'McDonalds', but he wasn't happy with it. They paid him well, but he wasn't happy with the job itself. But then, the 24 year old son went on to talk about a different topic.

"Dad, do you remember when I told you that I would like to open a restaurant when I finish schooling?"

"Yes, I do. Are you somehow referencing my closed diner?" the father asked. His son nodded and finally brought up the other part to why he came to visit:

"Yes I am. I received an offer from a company called 'Fazbear entertainment'. They are mainly a food service company, but they also own shops and restaurants, mostly centered on children entertainment. They didn't only send me a letter, but they actually sent you a letter as well. They are asking to buy your old diner, along with the mascot. They will be expanding it and making it a whole lot better. But that's not the only thing. They are collaborating with another organisation and are having some animatronics made. I forgot to tell you that there will be TWO restaurants. One will be your diner, and another one is being built right now! And that's not all! Guess who is the co-founder of 'Fazbear entertainment'."

The older man shook his head; "I don't know. Who is it?"

"It's your distant cousin Freddy. He heard that your diner went out of business, so he would like to adopt the idea of a mascot as well. But the best thing is that he wants to revive your diner.

The man couldn't believe what he was hearing: "Wow, I was looking to sell it to someone for a year now, but no one wanted to buy it. And my cousin is the co-head of that company? This is really good. I accept!"

The son added: "He even left his phone number in this letter, you should probably call him."

"Great! I'll do that right now!"

When he called his distant cousin Freddy, they made a deal and a price for which the man would sell the property. He even offered to take a job.


6 months later - Late 1983

The deal has been made and the property has been bought. The diner was now expanded almost four times! Of course, a little forest had to be cut here and there, but it was worth it. The prototype animatronics were now finished. For both locations there was a pair of animatronics. Both establishments were named 'Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria'. Freddy for the founder of the pizzerias and Fazbear from the name of the company. That was the name of the mascot as well. This time the mascot was an animatronic bear, along with an animatronic bunny for both pizzerias. Their names were, respectively: Freddy Fazbear and Bonnie the bunny. Freddy Fazbear's appearance was based on the first mascot Fredbear.

The opening day for both locations was on the same day, 1st December 1983. This was an exciting day, and the restaurant's opening was announced across the U.S.A, and people (especially kids) showed a lot of interest in coming to the pizzeria. Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria was a topic that was discussed for two months. At the opening day, a lot of people gathered in front of both pizzerias. The pizzerias were located around 6 hours of driving from each other. The other one was in a small city. Vincent started coming to the pizzeria often, just like he did with the old diner. However, no one knew him.

Of course, Manager Freddy was managing the one that was upgraded from Fredbear's family diner. Another co-founder of the company had the other pizzeria on his hands.

After the restaurant(s) opened, the parents and kids alike were introduced to the new mascots of the restaurant. Bonnie the bunny was a guitarist and Freddy was the singer. Of course, the animatronics didn't sing or play the guitar. Everything was done with the power of recorded songs and speakers.

The pizzeria quickly became famous and successful (both of them). Kids absolutely loved the mascots, and the pizza was the best around. It became so big, that the manager decided to order some merchandise to be made.

After a few months of working, there has been an incident in the first location, the one that was managed by Freddy.

Bonnie the bunny had a malfunction, causing him to suddenly cut off in power and fall onto the stage. No one was hurt, but it was important that they had some backup. The animatronics were not really that ordinary, so they put up a flyer for someone to assist them with entertaining. The most important paragraph on the flyer read:

"Since the animatronic cannot be repaired, we are looking for someone to cosplay the animatronic. Please apply."

An anonymous person (AP) saw a flyer and applied for this job. He was called into the manager's office:

"Good day, AP. I see that you are applying for this job. You have to sign this contract, please." And he handed him the contract. When AP wrote the contract, the manager continued: "Of course, I have to tell you a secret about the animatronics."

AP: "Sure, go on. But the thing about cosplaying sounded weird to me, unless you have an empty suit."

Freddy: "Yes we do, but it will not look realistic wearing an empty costume."

This confused AP

AP: "Uhh... then what is the secret."

Freddy: "Well, the animatronics were built with a spring-lock system. It is possible for a person to get in and out of the suit even with all the wires and animatronic devices in them. I will let you listen this recording from a guard of ours. He was a tester to these spring-locks after the animatronics were made, so he knows a lot."

AP: "Sure."

The manager then took out a recorder and pushed play. Recording started.

"Hello? Hello, hello? Uh, welcome to your new career as a performer, slash entertainer for Freddy Fazbear's pizza. These tapes will provide you with much needed information on how to handle, slash climb into, slash climb out of mascot costumes. Right now we have two specially designed suits that double in both animatronic and suit. So please, pay close attention while learning how to operate these suits to avoid accidents, slash injuries, slash death, slash irreparable and grotesque maiming that can occur. First we must discuss on how to operate a mascot when they are in the animatronic form...

And so, after listening to the whole recording, AP was scared.

"Wait, so the spring locks that keep the animatronic parts on the sides can...kill me?"

Freddy: "No! Of course they can't. You just have to handle them correctly and nothing will happen! Those spring locks actually make it possible for you to wear the suit with all the animatronic devices inside. Since the animatronics can't move, you just have to move your upper body."

AP agreed to take a shot at it. He went through all the recordings from the 'phone guy' again. He educated himself on it, and the next day he was able to try it out.

Early in the morning, before the pizzeria opened, he climbed into a suit as instructed. He didn't make any mistakes getting in, so the spring-locks were not activated. He wasn't really sure about it and he was worried.

He did a pretty good job on the movement. He just had to stand there and move his upper body and hands like he was strumming the guitar, the speakers did the sound job. But his fears were justified when he actually made a mistake. He accidentally pressed his back against the spring locks on the back, causing the spring-locks to break and the animatronic parts to be released, jabbing into his whole body. When the employees noticed that something went wrong, they immediately took the kids and the parents outside, blaming another malfunction. However, AP was bleeding inside the suit while he was suffering a lot of pain. Some employees who were educated a little about the suit knew that if they reactivated the spring locks, AP would be in a much worse situation, but that was the only way he could get out. They managed to make the animatronic parts retract again, pulling out of his wounds causing massive bleeding. The employees now pulled AP out of the suit and called 911, but it was too late.

AP's death was labeled as an accident at work, which was the best case scenario for the business. The pizzeria had to be closed and was left to rot. Freddy was taken out of that pizzeria, since he still had a fully functional mechanics, while Bonnie was left to rot with the pizzeria.

The sister diner was still opened. After the incident in this one, the staff from the sister diner had to reassure that that doesn't happen there either. They requested the removing of the spring-locks system from Freddy and Bonnie there. It continued to flourish, and soon the manager there requested the introduction of two new animatronics. They were Chica the Chicken and Foxy the Pirate. Chica was the cheerleader of the group, and Foxy had his own cove, Pirate's cove, where he told stories to the kids after the show from the show stage.
