It was Friday night. The time finally reached 6 am, and Mike put the tablet he was holding onto the table and leaned back in his chair, hoping to get a bit of sleep before he had to get up again. While he was getting comfortable, he thought back to about two months ago…

The pizzeria had fired him for almost two weeks for messing around with the animatronics. While he was digging around, he came across some dials of sorts in them, which he later found out was a "difficulty meter". It seems that, somehow, by touching them, an alarm or something went off, because when his shift was done and he was heading towards his car, his boss handed him a pink, "You're Fired" slip.

Although he already found a replacement job, when his boss called him, asking him to get the job again because "No one else is stupid enough to work there anymore", he decided to accept. Besides, if someone else took the job they would probably die very quickly.

So, he's the night guard again. He could see that the panels that allowed him to open the animatronics before were carefully sealed up, and the shields haven't been taken down since he restarted. If he wanted to, he could easily get through the defenses, but seeing he didn't have a reason to, he decided to play along and didn't touch the animatronics.

The animatronics themselves have acted in a cycle, being mostly docile on Monday and moving around a lot on Friday, and then being inactive again the next Monday. It has been long enough now that he didn't feel like he really needed to be afraid of them suddenly changing in difficulty, but he isn't going to let that bring his guard down.

Finally, he got settled and fell asleep. What felt like not even a minute passed before he was awakened by his boss.

"Mike? It's 7. We're preparing to open up."

Mike groaned and sat up a little straighter. He tiredly looked up as his boss, Mr. Money, who stood there with his arms crossed, looking a bit impatient.

"Yes sir, sorry, do I need to change uniforms?"

The older man sighed. "No, your current uniform looks close enough, so you don't need to change. Come, stand up, I'll show you what you need to do today".

Mike stood up and followed him out of the room. They walked past the dining room, and went near the entrance of the restaurant. Looking out of the windows, Mike could already see a car or two in the parking lot. It seems like this place is more popular than he first thought.

"Actually, before we begin, I wanted to ask you something." Mike's boss looked a bit nervous as he talked. "Earlier today, Amelia also called in, and said that she had 'urgent family matters' to tend to, and wasn't able to make it to work today. We're already understaffed on Saturdays, and I was wondering...Would you be able to fill in?"

"Sure but...as I've said before, I don't really have experience working with kids." Mike said.

"Oh, don't worry, just put on a happy face, don't say anything you shouldn't and you should do fine."

"Okay."

"Alright, so, since this is the first time you're doing this, I'll give you a little less work. We should be getting a delivery of plates and utensils at around 7:30, so when you see a truck labeled 'Andy's Kitchenware' pull up, go up to it and bring the boxes in. After that, you should put them in the storage room. You know where that is, right?" Mr. Money asked.

After two months of looking at the restaurant's plans, how could he not?

"Yes, I do." Mike said.

"Alright, well, when you're done with that, You can help serve the food or entertain the kids. I'll let you have a bit of a break first to see what the others do, so until the delivery comes, I guess you can stay in the kitchen, or, if you want, stay here and watch the show if you feel like it." Mr. Money then walked back to the office.

Mike turned and looked up at the stage, it's red curtains closed. He wondered if the animatronics were "conscious" during the day. If they were...this day could turn interesting.

A/N Alright, second chapter done :D It's uh..still pretty short but hey, at least it's longer than the first chapter, right? But yeah, sorry but I only get about an hour to work everyday and most of that is spent revising what I typed earlier..Excuses, excuses, i know, but I got a bit of a head start on the next chapter so mayyyyybbbeeee it'll be longer? (I'll try to update weekly but that does mean chapters might be pretty short.) oh, and the name Mr. Money is a reference to another game ;)
