Chapter 1: The New Guy

There was one hour left until the doors to Freddy´s opened and all the preparations were nearly complete. The cooks had cooked up the first batch of pizzas for the buffet, the waiters were finishing up with the table décor and everything was running like it would on any other day.

Foxy was waiting anxiously by the entrance when Freddy passed by.

"Hey Foxy!" He greeted. "What are you doing waiting by the door so early? There is still a solid hour before we open." He asked her as the fox continued to stare outside the door, looking at each kid individually.

"I´m just… Waiting… Why?" She answered but without moving her sight a single bit.

"Waiting on what? Or Who?" The bear asked with concern.

"The kid. I mean kids. I´m waiting for the kids that are ready to come in and have a nice time." She said, realizing what she had just told Freddy she quickly turned to him with shock .

"Oh my goodness…" He said in a stressed tone. "You can´t do this Foxy, not anymore." He added with a slightly angered tone.

"It slipped! I swear!" She said in defense.

"Foxy you have to stop this. It´s unhealthy and even though we´re sentient robots, this is just creepy and sad and so many things at once." Freddy tried to be calm but after a while of seeing her do the same routine day in and day out, he along the other animatronics, started to worry about their friend.

"But he promised he would come back..." Foxy said, sounding sad as she realized that Freddy was right.

"Yes he did promise that, 18 years ago. Face it Foxy, even if he were to come in one of these days you wouldn´t even know it´s him." He said getting closer to the fox who just stared at the ground to avoid his gaze.

"How do you know? I have a picture of him. It´d be easy to recognize him." She said, pulling out the picture from her jacket.

"No dear, you´d recognize the 10 year old version of him but not the adult one, which by the way, since he is an adult now, the only reason he would come to this place is if he has kids of his own." Freddy explained as he looked at the picture before handing it back to Foxy.

"Well maybe his kid looks like him. That makes it easier." She answered.

"Just let it go! Everyone been worried for you ever since the first week, plus, we have more important things to deal with today." Freddy said as he slowly made pace towards the Pirate Cove section of the restaurant with Foxy.

"Really? What things?" She asked, changing the subject of the conversation before Freddy yelled at her some more.

"Well Mike finally quit and even though he is the only human to get away from us; the new guy starts tonight and I don´t want him to last a single hour longer than he needs to." Freddy explained as they stop right at the edge of the stage for the Pirate Cove.

"What do I have to do?" Foxy said. Mike was the only human to ever avoid them completely. How he always managed to survive their most extreme attacks they would never know.

.

"I want you to be the one to get him. I want you to throw yourself at him with everything you got. Don´t hold back on the slightest. Got it?" Freddy told her. Foxy had always been the best and quickest to get the job done and after the time they´ve had with Mike, Freddy wasn´t taking any risks.

"Got it Freddy! I´ll do my best!" Foxy confirmed that she was okay with the plan which managed to relief Freddy.

"Great to hear, and listen, I´m sorry I went bananas with the whole kid thing, but it´s true, we´re worried about you Foxy." Freddy said as he scratched the back of his head.

"Don´t worry. You guys are right. I did go all crazy with him, but I only did it because the thought of him coming back, even after the biting accident… I just held onto him as a sign of hope that I would be loved again one day." She explained as she pulled the picture out again as she felt sadness again.

"But it´s okay now. You´re back to performing and the kids love you." Freddy said, trying to cheer her up.

"Not like they used too, Freddy… Not like they used too."

The rest of the day continued like any other. Some kids stopped at the Pirate Cove but they either didn´t stay for long or were quickly taken away by their parents.

"Why even bother bringing me back?" Foxy thought to herself as the last kid that was watching her perform left. She honestly didn´t know why they bothered repairing her and fixing her up if everyone would still be afraid of her no matter how much timed passed.

She decided that was enough acting for the day so she closed the curtains to the stage. She sat down in a corner and pulled out the picture. She loved looking at it but today it just gave her a bitter feeling in her heart which in turn only caused her to start crying.

It was finally midnight and everyone had left. Freddy took this brief window of time to gather everyone up and get the plan in motion.

"Okay guys. Here´s the plan. Bonnie and Chica will act as the distraction." Freddy said as all four of them discussed the plan in Pirate Cove.

"Alright. Sounds good to me." Chica said.

"Let´s do this! ¨ Bonnie cheered.

"As soon as she sees the slightest window of opportunity, Foxy will run straight for him." Freddy said. Foxy was always the fastest out of all of them so this was always the go-to tactic.

"I´m ready for this." Foxy answered though she seemed to have a lot on her mind at the moment. She realized she had to be on her best game so she wouldn´t mess up.

"That´s the plan. Everyone get back into position. He should be here any minute. And with that everyone except Foxy when back to their place.

It was 2 am and everyone was starting to get into position. Bonnie and Chica had both already moved from places while Freddy had moved closer to Foxy so he could tell her when to attack.

Meanwhile, Foxy was still in the Pirate Cove thinking. She thought about what the kid would say if he were to find out that they have a grudge for adults and that they were responsible for the death of a few of the guards that worked at this place. She knew that if he were to come in one day that the others wouldn´t take a liking to him for being an adult, but in a way, she would have to at least pretend to hate him even though deep down she would be happy to see him once more.

"Foxy! This is your chance! Go now!" She heard Freddy call her which caused her react a little confused as she was taken out of her thought.

"Okay Foxy…. It´s been a while but you can still do this." She thought to herself as she rushed out of her stage and towards the security office.

She was about to start screaming as she reached the door before she was stopped dead in her tracks, stunned at who she saw sitting in the chair.

"Oh my god…." She muttered.
