"Happy Birthday Ben!" Valerie and Vince said. The twins handed their present to Ben, an X-men Wolverine action figure.

"Thanks guys!" Ben's eyes widened in joy as he looked on his favorite superhero. While he was admiring the toy, Vince grabbed at his little brother Hayden and muttered quietly.

"Put it back."

Hayden glowered at the twins and took out the salt shaker he had put into his pocket. He was always stealing stuff like this, so Vince and Val had gotten used to looking over to their shoulder at their little brother to make sure he didn't get into trouble. Hayden stole the weirdest stuff too; why would he need a salt shaker? Their Mom called it klepto-something. She had wanted to come, but she and their father had been busy today for Ben's birthday party at Freddy Fazbear's, so they had to promise to keep an eye on Hayden, taking away a lot of their fun. The three of them were with Ben's other two friends, Gina and Liam. Ben had gotten a matching Magneto action figure, a Slugger baseball bat, a book on dinosaurs, and a new pair of roller skates. After they had given their gifts, the kids went and played arcade games until they ran out of tokens (for a grand total of 100 tickets won, Val and Vince were able to exchange for an eye patch and a rubber chicken.) Ben managed to convince his parents to stay for a bit longer so they could enjoy watching Freddy and his friends play. Hayden was mesmerized by the talking animals enough that Val and Vince felt they could leave him with Ben's parents while they looked around the place. They had heard a lot about the new restaurant and the characters, but had never gotten a chance to see it for themselves.

"Where do you want to go?"

"I want to see Foxy. I heard that they made him really different here." Vince said.

"I heard that Foxy's a girl now." Val replied.

"Nu-uh!" Vince said appalled at the possibility that someone had changed the gender of his favorite character.

"Ya-huh!" Val answered with equal determination.

"I bet you're wrong!" Vince ran off to the back of the restaurant with Val in tow. When they arrived at the new Kid's Cove though, the twins weren't certain about what they had originally been arguing about.

"What happened to Foxy?"

Foxy didn't look friendly anymore. Now it just looked scary. It had too many arms, one too many heads, and looked less like a fox and more like a slinky. Val tugged on the sleeve of the employee watching over the kids.

"Excuse me, what happened to Foxy?"

The woman shrugged. "Kids took it apart."

Vince looked horrified at Foxy.

"Aren't you going to fix him?"

"Foxy's a 'take-it-apart-and-put-it-together' attraction now. She's mostly for the little kids." She pointed to some toddlers that the twins had overlooked, crowding around Foxy and taking parts away from it. It was still talking.

"Hehehehey kikids? Are yoyoyou haviiiinnnngggg ffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn?"

Val felt like she was going to throw up. Looking at Foxy made Vince shiver.

"You two are probably too young to be here." The woman said. The twins silently agreed and left the Kid's Cove.

"How could they do that to Foxy?" Val asked dejectedly.

"I want to go back to the table." Vince added.

The two went back to their table, but could only find Ben's parents.

"There you two are." Ben's Mom said. "Where's your little brother though?"

The twins looked at each other apprehensively.

"Wasn't he with you?"

"No! He just vanished a few minutes after you two left." She looked around, frantic and worried. Ben's Dad was rushing past them, looking over the rest of the Dining Area.

"Where's Ben?" Vince asked.

"I don't know! I looked away for a minute and then he, Gina, and Liam all vanished!"

Ben's Dad rushed off to look through the rest of the store. Ben's Mom was stuck with the twins. She looked from them, back to her husband.

"Look, I want you two to just stay here. Don't move. We're going to find everyone and leave."

Val and Vince were left sitting at the table alone, stewing in guilt.

"I don't like this." Val said.

"Mom told us to keep an eye on Hayden…" Vince added. Suddenly, he got up from the table. "C'mon."

"Are you sure? Ben's Mom told us to stay here."

"And Mom told us that Hayden was our responsibility. C'mon, we'll find Hayden and get back before Ben's Mom and Dad come back."

Val shrugged. She didn't want to upset their Mom. The two didn't get too far though before they realized a problem.

"So…where would Hayden go?" Vince asked.

"Well…he's Hayden right? He probably went wherever he could get stuff he could stick into his pockets."

"So…" Vince looked around with Val until he spotted the Prize Corner. There had to be a bunch of stuff there that Hayden would have wanted. "What about over there?"

Val and Vince went over, but couldn't find anyone that looked like Hayden. They asked some of the other kids that had congregated around the Prize Corner, but none of them had seen their little brother. The twins would have asked a grown up, but it didn't seem like any of the store employees were stationed here. Val and Vince started to get worried.

"What do we do now?"

Vince spotted a large gift-wrapped box. Another one of Hayden's quirks was that he had a tendency to hide for apparently no reason (though the twins had realized that he often just wanted a convenient place to hide the stuff that he stole.) The twins approached it, and something burst out of the box. The twins screamed out in shock, until they realized a prize tune was playing. What looked like a mime had popped out of the box, holding another gift box. The box opened up, revealing a bow tie, like the one that the new Foxy wore. The twins stared at the Puppet, which remained frozen in place, offering the prize. The situation was so bizarre that the two had forgotten why they were there in the first place.

"Uh…do you want it?" Vince asked.

"…Sure…" Val picked the pink bow tie out of the box.

The prize tune played again, but then faded out as the radio fizzled. It looked like the Puppet was stuck.

Val and Vince stared at the Puppet. To Val, it still looked as if the Puppet was staring at them. Awkwardly, Val stuck the bow tie on the front of her shirt.

"What do we do now?"

"VeeVee!"

The twins finally let their breath out when they heard Hayden's nickname for them. They turned and saw him running up to them excitedly, holding a handful of tokens. The twins took hold of Hayden from both of his shoulders.

"Hayden, where have you been?"

"Where did you get those tokens?"

Hayden didn't try to hide the tokens from them, so he wasn't acting how he normally did when he stole something. He rolled his eyes in exasperation at his brother and sister's nagging tone.

"I got bored, so I went looking for you. I didn't steal anything!"

Val looked at Hayden disbelievingly.

"Honest!"

"You know Ben's Mom and Dad got worried about you, right? Why did you run off by yourself?"

"Why did you?" Hayden countered.

"We're older."

"We were with each other, so it was okay."

"Well, I wasn't alone either." Hayden said. He pointed towards the Main Hallway. "Freddy was with me."

The twins saw Freddy waving in the distance from the Main Hall, but this Freddy didn't look quite right.

"Why is Freddy yellow?"

The detail didn't seem to matter to Hayden. He clutched at the tokens in his hands and jumped happily.

"Freddy gave me these! He says that there's better games where you can get more tickets for less tokens!"

The twins thought the same thing. More tickets for less tokens? And Freddy just gave them out? If they still had tokens, Ben's Mom and Dad wouldn't make them leave. But when they thought about Ben's parents, they remembered what Ben's Mom had told them to do.

"Hayden, Ben's Mom wanted us to stay at the table. We should get back there." Val said.

"She can't find Ben, Gina, or Liam. We shouldn't keep her waiting." Vince added.

Hayden frowned and pointed back at Freddy angrily.

"But Freddy said that Ben and his friends are already playing!"

"Freddy knows where Ben is?" The twins looked at each other. If they could get Ben and his friends all together, that would make things a lot easier for Ben's parents. Maybe if they found the others, Ben's parents might be happy enough to let them stay a bit longer. From the Main Hall, the twins saw Golden Freddy crossing his arms and tapping his wrist, though it looked so hoaky that they could tell that he didn't mean to be mean by it.

"You know what?" Hayden said. "I don't care. I'm going to go and play more games and get more stuff!" and he ran off.

"Hayden, wait!"

Now there wasn't much more of a choice. They couldn't afford to lose Hayden again, so the twins ran off after him with Golden Freddy.
