Part 2

The evening, at 23:55, Team Galactic turned up at Freddy Fazbear's Restaurant, ready to take on the night shift. Cyrus pulled up on the car park and switched off his engine.

"Good, we are here," he said. "Mike has given me a key, so let us go inside and start work".

"I'm ready Boss," Mars said at once.

"So am I," Jupiter added. "Saturn, how about you? Saturn?"

"Uhhh…" Saturn mumbled, sleepily. "What's up?"

"You, for one thing," Jupiter said, taking off Saturn's seat belt. "At too many late night parties. Come on, sleepyhead!"

"Ok, I'm coming," Saturn said, climbing out of the car and yawning. Cyrus locked the doors and then glanced towards the restaurant. In the daytime, it looked friendly and happy. Night time, however, was a totally different story.

Mars shivered. "It's really creepy".

"Don't be scared Mars, it's OK," Saturn reassured her.

"Saturn is right," Cyrus agreed. "Fear is an emotion and you must keep it under control. There is nothing here to hurt you".

Jupiter patted Mars on the back in an encouraging manner and Mars smiled.

"Thanks guys," she said. "Shall we go in then?"

Five minutes later, Cyrus and his Commanders were inside Mike's office, looking around. It was rather dark; the only light coming from a small bulb on the ceiling. Two doors on either side could be closed by pressing large, square buttons next to them. Saturn wanted to play with these buttons but Cyrus shook his head.

"No, Commander. Mike told me that we only have a certain amount of electrical power. The doors consume power so if you open and close them too much, all the electricity will be used up".

"Ok Boss," said Saturn, moving away from the tempting buttons and going to admire some pretty pictures of the animatronics that were pinned to the far wall.

Jupiter sat down on the desk. "Um, so what do we do all night? Just stay in here and make sure no burglars break in?"

"Yes," said Cyrus. "And we have to watch the monitor too". He picked up an item that resembled a computer tablet. "This monitor allows us to view all of the rooms, via video cameras. Except for the kitchen; Mike said that the camera is broken in there".

"Awww, I bet that's where the free pizza is," Saturn said.

"Good point," Mars agreed. "Is it there Boss?"

"Yes and we can still go in there," Cyrus replied. "The camera is broken but the kitchen lights work".

"Great! Let's go get it!" Saturn said eagerly.

"Not yet, Commander Saturn. I want to show you and the girls something important first". Cyrus beckoned his Commanders over and they crowded around him, looking at the monitor.

"Look, it's the animatronics," Cyrus said, showing the flicking, dimly lit scene of the show stage.

There were Bonnie, Chica and Freddie, standing in line, gazing ahead at the empty room before them.

"Awww, Freddy looks so cute!" Saturn said at once.

"Freddy? Come on Saturn, Chica is much cuter," Jupiter snorted.

"I always liked Foxy but he's out of order at the moment," Mars said, pouting. "I hope they fix him soon".

"Calm down Commanders, you are displaying much emotion," Cyrus reminded them.

"Oh come on Boss," Saturn said, nudging Cyrus. "What about that photo of you as a little boy, holding a Bonnie plush".

Cyrus's cheeks turned slightly pink; luckily the room was too dark for his Commanders to notice.

"I liked robot animals as a child," he admitted.

"Oooh, did you have emotions then, Boss?" Jupiter asked.

"Saturn, why don't you go and fetch the pizza?" Cyrus suggested, skilfully changing the subject.

"Sure thing, Boss," Saturn said helpfully. "Won't be a minute".

He left the room, strolling down the east hall corridor. Cyrus studied the monitor, Jupiter leaned against the wall while Mars tried to turn on the music system. Unfortunately, it was broken.

Presently, Saturn returned with a large cardboard box. "Here we go," he said, setting it down on the desk.

"Thank you Saturn," Cyrus said, putting the monitor down to help himself to pizza.

"Oooh, pepperoni, my favourite," said Mars, also taking a slice.

"It was so kind of Mike to supply us with pizza," Jupiter said, picking up the nearest wedge.

For a few minutes, there was silence, apart from the sound of the fan whirring and Team Galactic chewing pizza. When they had finished, Cyrus put the box in a small waste paper bin.

"That was delicious," said Mars, wiping her mouth on her hanky. "I wouldn't mind working here every night if we get free pizza".

"Well, some of us are working," said Jupiter, poking a sleepy Saturn.

"I wasn't going to sleep," Saturn said, lifting his head up off the desk. "I was just resting my eyes a minute".

"I expect the food has made him sleepy," said Mars. She ruffled Saturn's hair. "It's alright sweetie, I don't mind if you take a nap".

Saturn smiled at Mars and put his head back down. Jupiter rolled her eyes and Cyrus ignored them, as the monitor was much more interesting. He flicked from room to room, studying the restaurant in the semi darkness.

Saturn closed his eyes, feeling relaxed and content. His tummy was full of pizza and he felt safe with Cyrus and the girls there. He dozed a little, half-dreaming about a giant pizza. The pizza had every topping imaginable on it: cheese, tomato, pepperoni, ham, pineapple, chocolate, oatmeal (for Cyrus), kippers, peanut butter…

"Saturn? Hey Saturn?" Mars's voice hissed urgently in his ear.

"Uh, I'm awake, honest," said Saturn, lifting his head once more. "What's up?"

Before Mars could reply, Cyrus came over. He was emotionless as always and he was holding the monitor up so that Saturn could see.

"Look," he said, pointing to the screen, which was currently on the show stage.

Saturn rubbed the sleep from his eyes and peered at the distorted camera feed. He blinked, realising something wasn't quite right. Jupiter confirmed this, by making a scared noise next to him.

"Boss? Where has Bonnie gone?" Saturn asked, looking at the bunny-less flicking image.
