"W-what?" Goldie asks. You stare at the floor, deep in thought.
"That grin… those eyes… that voice…" You say to the floor, forgetting Goldie is even there. He steps in front of you and puts his hands on your shoulders.
"Forget about it. Its probably confusion." You stare into his black eyes. His black, unemotional eyes. You push him away.
"Y- you're probably right," You lie as you walk away, staring at the floor the whole time.
"(Y/N)!" Something wraps you into a tight hug. You look at your captor and she that its Chica.
"Hey Chica," You fake a cheerful voice as she lets go of you.
"I delivered that pizza for you! So don't worry about it," She says and you smile at her.
"Thanks!" You thank her as she's pulled away by some children. You sigh, tired from pretending to be happy.
"E- excuse me?" You hear a females voice. You look up to see a young woman with brown hair.
"Yes?" You ask politely, seeing fear in her eyes.
"Do you take pizza orders?" You nod yes, "Oh! Well my family and I would like a cheese pizza!" She points over to a table by Freddy's stage. You see two kids, a boy and girl, along with a dad.
"Okay!" You say and she goes back to join her family. You feel jealousy as you watch her hug her kids. Shaking your head, you walk into the kitchen.
"Hey!" The chef greets you, "What pizza this time?"
"Cheese," He nods and starts to lay out some dough. You exit and walk to the break room. When you're about to walk through the door, something grabs your hand. You look down to see a little girl.
"H- hi.." She whispers as she hides behind her hair.
"Why hello," You say quietly, trying not to scare her off, "What might you need?" She peaks through her hair. "Theres… theres a-"
"Hey! Get back here!" You hear a boy yell. The little girl is ripped from your grasp and you look behind you to see a young boy, about as old as her, dragging her by her hair.
"Hey!" You yell as the little girl starts to cry. The little boy looks up into your robotic eyes. You step towards him and he steps back, eyes widening a bit. "I don't think she likes that," You growl and he lets go of her. "Leave." You order him. He screams and runs away. You look back at the little girl, who is sobbing into her knees. Her blonde hair covering her face.
"T- thank yo-you!" She sobs. You kneel and pick her up gently.
"Are you okay?" You ask, concerned. You haven't had to deal with a crying child yet. Frankly, you're scared yourself. She nods in your chest.
"Where's your mommy and daddy?" You ask. 'Her parents will know what to do'. She sobs louder and you hug her tighter. "H- hey! Its- its okay!" You try to cheer her up. You walk over to one of the empty tables and sit down. You start to stroke her hair with your blue paw. She stays quiet.
"Do you want to tell me what happened?" You ask quietly as her sobbing quiets down. She nods 'no' in your chest. You close your eyes, understanding. She climbs out of your arms, making you snap open your eyes.
"Can I… Can I brush your hair?" She asks nervously. You're eyes widen. 'This is new'
"Sure!" She breaks into a wide smile and runs off. Soon, she comes back with a small bag. Opening it, she pulls out a small purple brush. She climbs on the table behind you and starts to brush your blue fur. Even though you're a robot, it still feels very relaxing.
"I'm Elizabeth," She says.
"Nice to meet you, Elizabeth! I'm (Y/N)," She giggles.
"I love your fur! And your spots! Oh! I love your nails most of all!" You glance at your nails and see that they are a deep blue. They are also VERY sharp, which you've never noticed. Elizabeth continues to brush your fur. The smooth brushes almost make you fall asleep.
"Elizabeth? Where are your parents?" You ask, realizing it's almost closing time. She stops brushing your hair.
"M- my parents?" She stutters.
"Yes, Elizabeth. I don't think the others will let you spend the night," You giggle.
"I don't want to go home…" She starts to cry again and you pull her back into a hug.
"H- hey! I didn't mean to make you cry!" She cuddles into your chest.
"My mommy… my mommy and daddy aren't at home… anymore," She whispers and you almost want to cry yourself.
"Who lives with you, then?" She stays silent for a while. You stroke her hair again.
"Nobody…" Shes almost so quiet that you don't hear her.
"You live by yourself?!" You cry and she looks up at you, startled. She nods.
"Its scary," You would cry right now if you could.
"(Y/N)? Why is there still a child here?" You hear your boss say. Elizabeth squeaks and hides behind you.
"She doesn't have anywhere to go, sir," His happy expression turns sad.
"She can't stay-"
"Why not? I'll take care of her!" You try to convince him to let her stay. Freddy walks out of the hallway.
"She can't stay. Its dangerous." Your boss says, catching Freddys attention.
"So what are we going to do? Throw her out on the streets!" You screech, your animatronic voice breaking a bit. Elizabeth covers her ears.
"Sir," Freddy's says and your boss turns towards him, "A word." The boss looks a bit scared as he walks away with Freddy.
"I- is everything okay?" Elizabeth asks from behind you. You jump, forgetting she was there.
"Yes! Don't worry Elizabeth," You kneel down to her and she hugs you, "I'll help you."
"(Y/N)?" You hear footsteps coming towards you. Its your boss and Freddy.
"Yes?" You stand up and face him, Elizabeth hiding back behind you.
"She can stay," He gives in and you squeal. Elizabeth hugs you and laughs. You look at Freddy. His usual happy expression is darker than usual, but he looks happy at the same time.
"Come on!" Elizabeth pulls you towards the break room. You let her pull you into the room and sit you on the couch.
"Thank you so much!" She cries as she buries her head in your chest.
"Hey don't worry about it. You're the first kid to ever like me!" You laugh as she sits on your lap. Sleepiness is clear on her face. "I think you need some sleep," You lie her down without her fighting back. Soon, she drifts into sleep. The bells in the restaurant ring quietly. Then, you hear the screaming start like every night. Putting a pillow on Elizabeth's head to block out the sound, you are forced to listen to the horrifying screams through the night.
