"Hey, guys! I'm back!"

My voice echoed off of the walls, and I tried to use my newly advanced hearing to see if I heard a response. But there was none. Not even a sound, aside from the dripping of leaky pipes and the wind in the air (at that I remembered to close the door).

Then, after a few seconds of nothing but dead silence, I heard a shuffle. It was as small as a mouse squeak, but better than nothing at all. It was coming from behind the right corner of the hallway.

As I moved forward toward it, slowly, the sounds of whispering could be heard. I moved quietly, with years of FNaF experience stored in my long-term memory, and peeked around the corner.

And out jumped Freddy (AKA: Jamie), along with the rest of the gang-Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy (*reference names in the last fanfiction!*)

"ZENIX! You're back!" And before I knew it, they were piling on top of me, hugging me and kissing me, excited that I had come to visit-even though I considered my new home to be back at CBPW-and I accepted them, even though I knew that this type of reception wasn't really necessary.

I blushed, remembering who I had brought with me. "Heheh...Yeah. Can you...? Um..."

They all understood, and quickly released me, but never ceased to ask me more questions. That was it. I was tired, and wanted to go to sleep. I walked away from them, toward my friends, Julie and Joseph, guiding them toward the others. Julie was slightly terrified, since her experience with animatronics was all but pleasant. Joseph was similar, but tried to put on a brave face. "Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy...meet my friends, Julie and Joseph."

They greeted them happily...

...Then I realized why everything felt so out of place...

"Oh, sh-!" I stopped myself. No need to panic...much. I tried to come up with an excuse to leave. "Uh... Hey, shouldn't we be heading back, guys? The others'll be waiting for us..." Julie looked at me. I freaked out, and attempted to hide the worry written on my face. She nodded, then turned back to the others.

"Yeah, it was really, really nice to meet you all, but we really need to be going..." She tugged on the sleeve of Joseph's hoodie. "Come on!" She hissed.

They ran after me and out the door, just as it hit 11:52. It was almost time! I shot off in the direction of the factory, with Julie and Joseph following close behind me.

"Vamos!" (Yes, I can speak Spanish. I can speak many other languages as well).

(*Note: If you see this:*, then that means that I am speaking. But if you don't see *, then that means that it's from the narrator's POV. In this case, it's Zenix.*)

When we got back it was already 11:59-too close.

I fell to the floor in a huff, heaving and gasping for breath. I had used all of my energy running here, that the sudden transformation was draining.

First went my arms (and hands), then my legs (and feet), and my stomach and torso, then my neck and finally, my head. I could hardly move. My optics flickered before me, then showed a low battery, and shut off...

I woke up in the Breaker Room again. This time, I instinctively curled into a ball (not completely, though) and squeezed my eyes shut, doing my best to block out the harsh lights flickering on and off, and the spark that buzzed from the wires hanging off the walls. A steady snore made it's way to my ears, then a slow, soft breathing could be felt on my face. I swatted it away, but it came back again. I did it once more, but there it was again, tickling my nose, then moving toward my cheek.

"Wake up."

I nearly screamed, jumping up and hitting the back of my head against the wall.

"Ow..." I rubbed the back of my head.

"Oh! You're awake!" The voice was a whisper, but not very hard to decipher. Bonnie.

I growled softly, aware of the other animatronic in the room. "What do you want?"

He looked down, remembering. "Well, two people came in here..." Freddy began to stir; Bonnie calmed him. "They set you here, and we let you sleep..." Freddy began to stir again, and Bonnie again repeated his words. "Then we heard whispering but it stopped around three or four o'clock..." This time Freddy talked. Bonnie rushed over to him and quieted him, making him think that if he woke me, I would be very upset, maybe even sending him to be Scooped. I knew that the chances of that happening to any of them was slim, and yet it had happened to many night guards already. And if you don't think that six or seven is bad, then there's got to be something wrong with you. Bonnie silently came back and finished his story. "Then, it's five o'clock, and you wake up."

I thought over it.

1. Yes, I do mainly sleep in the Breaker Room, so it was smart of the others to leave me here.

2. Was I the one who was whispering? It's never happened before, at least I don't think, so...

3. Why had I slept for so long? Usually I would wake up around two or three. That, or maybe they just hadn't noticed...

I rubbed my eyes and stretched. "Well, I guess I should try to get things ready. We have a party to prepare for anyway, remember...?"

"Shh!"

Oops.

Funtime Freddy came flying at me.

(*Welp, I hope you liked it! I suddenly realized that my Sara Is Missing story will take a lot longer that I previously thought. That, and, with all of the stuff going on-holiday seasons and all-I have hardly had enough time to update. I hope you liked it anyway! And happy holidays!*)

(Since I said Zenix can speak other languages-and if you want me to use them more often, I can-I can provide you with hints as to what they are:

You already know she can speak Spanish.

2. À plus tard !

3. Ты кто?

4. 무엇을 원하세요?

5. いいですね！

6. 你知道我的姐姐在哪裡嗎？

That's all of them! And since I don't want to get into all of the different languages BLAZE can speak-which is universal, since she has traveled all over the place, and even past our solar system to other parts of space- we'll just stick with these six! 'Kay? Great! Well, I'll see you next time! Bye!*)
