Darlene's POV:
"Well, I'm off to work, mom."
"Where are you going?"
"Uh…'Freddy Fasbear's Pizzeria', I think. I'm the new security guard."
"I thought that closed down several years ago!"
"Apparently, there's a new one. Wait, what?!" I did a double take at my mom.
"Remember? Up until you were 6, we would take you there for your birthday, but then it closed down due to safety reasons."
"Oh yeah." I do remember that. I also remembered my group of 5 friends that were invited to the parties we had there. If I remember right, I think their names were Evan, James, Samantha, Ash, and Trevor. Come to think of it, I haven't seen them since my 6th birthday party. I wonder if they're alright.
I then heard my mom sigh. "It was a great tradition that we had ever since you grandmother was little. She used to tell me the stories of her parties at FredBear's Family Diner."
"Did your birthday parties end up there?" I asked as I struggled to get my right arm in the sleeve of my winter coat.
"Yep. I think my last one at FredBear's Family Diner was when I was 10. I remember a boy named Scott waiting for his mother outside of the building, and he looked worried. I told him she'd show up soon, and when we were leaving, he wasn't there. At first, I assumed his mother had found him, but then I found a newspaper that said there was a murder there at that very day."
My eyes widened in shock. "Oh my gosh…" I said.
"That's why I want to tell you to be careful when you get there," she said, "Bye Darlene."
"Bye," I told her before I left.
-Freddy Fasbear's Pizzeria, 12 am-
I got to the main office and saw a suit on the desk with a sticky note that read, "Put this on." So I did, but I kept the head off. I sat on the chair and placed my notebook that I brought beside the computer. I opened it up to see that it viewed what the security cameras viewed. I clicked around to the Prize Room, only to see a button to wind up a music box. I did so until I heard the phone ring.
*ring ring ring*
I picked it up. "Hello?"
"Uh, hello? Hello, hello?"
"Hi!" I said cheerfully, as it was the same guy that answered my call last time.
"Uh, hello and welcome to your new summer job at the new and improved Freddy Fasbear's Pizza."
Summer job? I thought to myself, This must just be a recording then. It's November!
"Uh, I'm here to talk you through some of the things you can expect to see during your first week here and to help you get started down this new and exciting career path."
-w/ the Toy animatronics, 1 am-
Normal POV:
"Can I sing now?"
"No."
"How about now?"
"No…"
"…Now?"
"NO!"
"Shut it, you two. I think Darlene may be here."
"Really? Then let's scare her then."
"Alright, alright. Bonnie T, you go first."
"And wait until you go to another room to sing this time."
"Okay, okay. Stop whining, Chica T."
-w/ Darlene, 2 am-
Darlene's POV:
"So our temporary solution is this: there's a music box over by the Prize Corner, and it's rigged to be wound up remotely."
Already figured that, I thought, yawning.
"It doesn't seem to affect all of them, but it does effect…one of them…"
I raised an eyebrow. Why did this person sound so uneasy all of a sudden.
"You see, there may be a minor glitch in the system, something about robots seeing you as an endoskeleton without it's costume on, and anting to stuff you in a suit, so hey, we've given you an empty Freddy Fasbear head, problem solved!" As I listened on to his rambling, I looked at the suit that I put on. Then I looked at the head. And then I noticed a box that I had put the head on top of. I opened it to see all kinds of decorations. I smile.
Later, I look in a mirror to see how it turned out. The costume was now a red, female Freddy Fasbear.
"Wow," I said aloud, "I look adorable!"
"Come with me now."
I jumped and zoomed back to the cameras. Speed looking through the cameras, I saw that a blue bunny animatronic was now at Party Room 2. And he was singing Come With me Now by the Kongos.
"Whoa, go with me now. I'm gonna take you down. Whoa, go with me now. I'm gonna show you how."
He didn't look like he'd be much of a threat, so I looked around the other cameras to see that the chicken was not where she was supposed to be. The worst part: I couldn't find her anywhere!
"Hello?" I heard a female voice say. I immediately closed the computer and put the mask on. I then looked up to see the chicken in front of me! I'm screwed!
"Hello, miss. Who might you be?"
I opened my mouth, but no words came out. What should I say? I immediately thought of a different name and said, "A-Annabelle."
"Annabelle…" she said, "That's a cute name. I'm so jealous. I'm Toy Chica, but my buddies call me Chica T."
"Why not just 'Chika?'" I asked.
"There's another Chica here. Who knows? You might get to meet her someday."
Then I heard something in the vents. Chica T. then said, "Oh, I'd better get going; looks like Bonnie T. wants to meet you, too." She then left. I sighed in relief. I'm so glad she didn't notice I'm a human.
But soon, I was face-to-face with the bunny. "Hey. I'm Bonnie T. Have you seen a girl named Darlene around?"
I shook my head. "N-no. I haven't. I'm Annabelle. Nice to meet you, Bonnie T."
Bonnie T. looked around. "Hm. I'd think Darlene would be in here. Oh well. Better keep looking. Want to come with me?"
I shook my head again. "No thanks. I'd like to get used to this place first. I am a newbie, after all."
"Okey dokey. See ya, cutie," he said as he left. Then the clock struck 6. I took off the suit and headed out only to see a group of 5 children on my way home.
"Hello," I say to them, "How are you?"
"We're fine," one of the females said, "I'm Crystal, and the others are Billy, Maxine, Drake, and Seth. We're going to that pizza place over there today and tomorrow; it's my birthday today, and tomorrow's will be Maxine's."
"Oh! Well, have a happy birthday, both of you," I say, smiling, and I continued walking back home.
-w/ the animatronics-
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN DARLENE WASN'T THERE?!" Toy Freddy shouted at the other two.
"We're sorry. We only saw a new animatronic. A red bear," Toy Chica explained.
"Her name is Annabelle," Toy Bonnie added.
"Annabelle, eh?" The bear said, half to himself, "I'd like to see this 'Annabelle…'"
Meanwhile, with the old animatronics, Bonnie turned from the door to his friends. "Did you hear that? There's a new bear. Calls herself Annabelle."
"Who wants to pay her a visit next time then?" Freddy asked everyone. Then Foxy raised his hand-er, I mean hook.
"I'd love to meet this newbie, Annabelle, and maybe find that stowaway night guard, Darlene," he said.
"It's settled then," the old bear said, and they all went on about their day.
Foxy, on the other hand, just stood up and looked at the door. Darlene… he thought to himself, If it's really you…will you recognize me? Will you remember me? Will you…accept what has happened to your old friends…?
