Thank you and enjoy!

Markus slumped down in his car seat. He was exhausted, and he didn't want to pass out onto the floor in the abandon place. He stored the food he had packed in his cooler, and closed his eyes, trying to fall into the blackness of sleep.

He toss and turned in his sleep. The light pitter-patter of the rainstorm outside turn into pounding drops on top of Markus' truck. He dreamed. Or was it a nightmare? He couldn't decide after he woke up.

He was in Fazbears, enjoying the new sideshow, Sugar the cat, as he sang goofy songs and played games with the children. Sugar was surprisingly advanced for the year and time, having the programming to play with the kids. But then somebody took a kid's hand to lead him home, but then something chilling happened. Sugar had grabbed the grown-up's arm with his metal hand. The adult didn't say anything, but whimpered in fear. Sugar had wide eyes, unblinking and staring into the eyes of the woman. They weren't his normal eyes though, they had sunk back into the suit. All that remained were two tiny specks of white that seemed like, if they could, kill. For after what seemed like hours, he released her arm, never releasing his gaze from her.

The children all left the prize corner, leaving Sugar all by himself. He looked sad, hurt on the inside. He stood up, closing his eyes, not moving at all, as if he had shut down.

Markus didn't know what to do but walk away. He didn't speak of what he saw. He didn't try to comfort the robot. He pushed the memory out of his brain. He walked towards the pirate cove, but heard yelling from another hallway. He looked around the corner and saw the woman who was grabbed at by Sugar yelling at a man in a purple uniform. They both looked like they wanted to claw each other's eyes out.

"What the hell do you mean you can't do anything about the cat? He could've harmed my child! He grabbed my arm! That thing isn't a robot, it has a mind of its own!"

"Then why are you yelling at me?"

"You are the programmer of those damn spawns of hell! It says it on your badge!"

The man looked down, hissing at the sight that, in fact, she was right. His golden badge stood out from the rest of his gigantic purple suit and cap, like headlights in a dark room. He walked way, glaring at the woman. He walked into some office that Markus couldn't reach.

The place was still buzzing with activity, looking as if the news about Sugar hadn't spread throughout the building. Marcus headed over instead to the room where those new animatronics had been shipped into the spare room.

The koala and panda were, inexplicably, gone. The only ones left were a cat that Marcus hadn't seen, and the two humanoids. All the empty suits of the animatronics were terrifying to Marcus. He felt like he was surrounded by demons, as if they had crawled out from underneath the Earth just to being his soul back with them. The humanoids were much more menacing in the dark, having no eyes since they weren't animatronic but only suits so far.

He rushed out of the room as fast as he could, pushing through kids and into the arcade, where he was even more terrified.

Another animatronic was active, the panda this time. Marcus was used to seeing an animatronic move and sing, but this one was different.

It was speaking directly to the kids, asking them their names and asking them about their life, like "How old are you?" and "Where are you from?" The woman was right about the animatronics. They had a mind of their own. The panda looked at a clock and said, "Oops! Time's up, kids! I've got to go preform!"

The panda straightened its artificial tie, and positioned its top-hat like it had to be on the exactly right spot. It jogged over to a miniature stage, about 2 times the size of pirate cove, but without a curtain. The panda hopped onto the stage and announced: "How are ya' kids?! I'm Sally the panda! Now who's ready to sing!?"

A bunch of kids had followed Sally, pushing Marcus into the front. They were cheering her on, chanting her name.

"Sally! Sally! Sally! Sally!"

The panda began to sing children's songs, like "Old McDonald" and "Hickory Dickery Dock". Sally was great at singing, all the words sounding like they came out of a real person's mouth. The letters came out smooth, crisp. Rolled out of her mouth.

Marcus slunk away shyly, trying to not catch the attention of anyone. But then a cold, crushing hand laid its grip on his shoulder.

"Hey kid! Where do you think you're going?"
