Mike Schmidt's POV

3:25 PM

I was reading the newspaper looking for anything interesting, when I found this one article:

"We're Back! - Freddy Fazbear's Pizza

After thirty years, the classic band consisting of Freddy Fazbear and his friends finally returns to the stage!

With brand new animatronic technology for a more interactive experience, the new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza will be the perfect birthday party for kids of all ages!

Located at the local mall.

For more information, call: 1-888-FAZ-FAZBEAR"

Well, well, well! They've made a new Freddy's location! Might as well check it out!

8:20 PM

I drove over to the mall. I walked around trying to find the new Freddy's location. It wasn't too long until I found it near the back. I entered into the dining room. It overall looked 3/4 of the size of the dining room for the 90s location. It had plenty of dining tables and arcade machines around. Also, let's not forget the animatronics on the show stage.

Freddy looked extremely identical to how he did in the 90s. Similar top hat and bowtie. Similar microphone. Similar blue eyes. He was slightly chubbier, though not as much as Toy Freddy.

Bonnie was the same lavender-colored bunny I remembered. His guitar was purple, rather than red. He also retained the red bowtie. He had green eyes like Toy Bonnie.

Chica seemed like the perfect in between to 90s Chica and Toy Chica. Her body was thin, but not model-like like Toy Chica. She had the Let's Eat! bib and magenta eyes as well as a pink skirt, pink eyelids, and a cute pink microphone in her right hand with her cupcake with eyes in the left. (STILL CREEPY!)

When I watched the animatronics perform their songs, I felt a huge wave of nostalgia. The animatronics were obviously not the exact same ones from the 90s, as I assumed they were still under FBI custody, but these looked really close.

I then remembered Foxy. I looked around and saw a Kids Cove-like room. I entered the room, only for the tip of the blade of a plastic sword come close to my neck. It was none other than that pirate fox. He looked almost exactly like his 90s counterpart.

Foxy then said:

"Ye promise not to hurt Mina?"

"Who the heck is Mi-"

"WILL YE HARM HER OR NOT?!"

"N-NO!"

Foxy pulled away the blade from my neck.

"Good. Ye may proceed."

What the heck was that?!

Okay, from what I gathered, Mina is apparently Foxy's younger 16-year-old sister. She is loosely based off of Mangle from the 1987 pizzeria. Her design was similar too. She was a white fox with a pink tube top and skirt. On her tube top was a red heart. She didn't really talk as much as the others, just staying silent. From her behavior, she was shy, but always loving and caring for the children. She was also really expressive, with admittingly adorable plush-like yellow eyes.

I just sat in the back as Foxy and Mina performed their goofy shenanigans for the kids. Their performances weren't that bad. Not as memorable as the 90s location, but definitely a perfect update. When I left the cove, I noticed Mina was staring at me with a curious expression on her face.

So, there are five physical animatronics at this location. I should say that they didn't walk around as much at this location as the older ones, but they still did. They moved MUCH faster. They were also a lot more expressive. In the old locations, it just felt like they were computers free-roaming. But here, it actually feels like the characters are really there!

10:25 PM

While I watched the fun and actually pretty hilarious animatronic shows, an employee sixteen years of age walked up to me. He said:

"Are you Mike Schmidt?"

"Uh... yes?"

"THE Mike Schmidt? The one that was the final security guard of the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizza?"

"That's me."

"It's such an honor to finally meet you!"

We shook hands.

"Are you interested in becoming a security guard once again at Freddy's?"

"Uh... no thanks."

"Well, in case you change your mind, give us a call."

He handed me a card with the official phone number on it.

"My name's Alex, by the way."

Alex then left.

It was getting late and the place was closing. But, I had to use the restroom. So, I did. But... maybe for too long. By the time I was done, all the lights in the building were off. I tried to leave, but the exits were locked!

"Crap."

I was trapped.

I didn't know if the robots were homicidal this time, but I was still pretty terrified. My first instinct was to find the security office. From what I know from experience, it's the main place for defense.

I found the hallway that led to the office. It was unnaturally long. The office itself looked more roomy than the 90s office, but not as much and the 1987 location. There was only one door that closed horizontally instead of vertically. There was also an emergency exit, which of course was sealed. There was a phone on the office desk. I dialed the number and called Alex.

"Hello?"

"Listen, Alex. I'm trapped here."

"What?"

"The exits are locked. I can't leave Freddy's!"

"Too much time in the bathroom?"

"Yep."

Alex remained silent for awhile, and then told me:

"Okay, listen. The doors don't open until 6 AM. Until then, you'll have to just camp.

Also, you don't have to worry about the animatronics this time. Every time the place closes, we set the robots to 'Random Mode', where they go ahead and do whatever. They are equipped with night vision, so they can easily recognize you in the dark. So, they won't mistake you for a naked endoskeleton. Bottom line: they will not try to kill you.

So, just hang out in the security office until the doors open, but don't be afraid, nothing's going to kill you. Okay? Goodnight."

3:27 AM

I got some sleep in the office. I had the door closed just in case. By the way, this location runs on unlimited power. Thank god for that!

I decided, for old time's sake, to look at the security cameras to see what kind of randomness was going on. All I can say is I saw plenty of things.

One thing I saw was Mina in Kids Cove sitting at a desk looking at a computer. I couldn't see what was on the computer because the camera did not show the front screen, but I could tell what Mina was looking at really, REALLY made her uncomfortable. She had a disturbed look on her face while she just sat there motionless.

Chica then entered the room.

"Um... hey, Mina! Can I see what you're looking at?"

Mina slowly turned her head and just stared at Chica with that disturbed look. She then turned off the computer, got out of the chair, pointed at Chica and said:

"DON'T..."

She then left the room.

Another thing I saw was Bonnie on the Show Stage literally doing the moonwalk! Yes. These new robots are capable of doing that! He ended up moonwalking straight off the stage and fell onto his back. I could hear him shout:

"OW!"

In the Dining Room, Freddy was imitating Elvis Presley for some reason. He reminded me of The King from the early Chuck E Cheeses. I could not find Foxy anywhere on the cameras.

4:18 AM

After all that randomness, I just turned off the monitor and sat in the chair. I was about to doze off when I heard something hit the office window. I turned on the lights and saw Mina staring at me through the window. She was giving the puppy dog-eyes as if she was begging to be let in.

I tried to ignore it, but she just wouldn't leave. Those puppy dog-eyes didn't go away! She just kept staring at me through the window until I finally broke down and opened the freaking door. Alex said the robots wouldn't hurt me, so what've I got to lose?

Mina walked into the room with a happy expression on her face. She was STILL staring at me. I sat back down in the chair, trying to get some sleep, but Mina was STILL staring at me! And she wasn't stopping! I was incredibly freaked out.

"Why the heck are you staring at me? What do you want?!"

She then grabbed me by the arms. I tried to break free, but her grip was too tight. She then sat in the corner of the office, put me on her lap, and hugged me tight. It was obvious that she was fascinated in me. It's as if I was her stuffed animal. Try picturing a plush Mike Schmidt.

I tried to break free for a while, but eventually gave in. We both eventually fell asleep. I will admit, it felt weird and almost kind of touching that one of the things that tried to kill me long ago was now cuddling with me.

8:00 AM

When I woke up, Mina was still in sleep mode. I got up from her lap, petted her head, and walked out of the office. The pizzeria was open by this time. Kids were swarming in. I was prepared to leave, when Alex walked up to me again.

"Were you okay last night, Mike?"

"Yeah. Mina provided some company."

"Oh yeah... She does that a lot. You'd be surprised how many kids get stuck here afterhours. Mina always gives them comfort. By the way, I probably should mention that the animatronics actually have a conscious of their own! By that, I mean they seem like real living beings with the personalities that are programmed for them, which is the only thing pre-programmed. In the original locations, the animatronics had pre-programmed responses to the children's questions. But here, they can figure out what to say on their own."

"Wow... that's pretty cool."

"By the way, did you know we have a breakfast menu?"

"Really?"

"Yep. Willing to try it for a 40% discount?"

"I.. don't see why not."

I had breakfast, which wasn't that bad!

However, while I was eating, I heard a lot of ruckus going on in Kids Cove. I went over and saw Mina all by herself trying to entertain the kids. Unfortunately, the kids were constantly tugging at her arms, trying to dismantle her like Mangle in 1987. Why won't kids just learn to NOT tear apart the robots?! However, Mina's material seemed super-glued, so it could not come off. She still looked helpless, though.

I HAD to do something. I walked up to the kids and shouted:

"Hey! Leave Mina alone! She is not a take-apart and put-back-together attraction! How would you feel if someone constantly tried to take you apart?! Either don't tear her apart or GET OUT!"

The kids ran out of the room. I then looked back at Mina, who was staring at me. I COULD SWEAR an actual tear was stroking down her face! She then walked up to me and hugged me tightly. I then hugged back.

"It was the least I could do."

Once she let go, I headed out of the room. I looked back and smiled at Mina.

11:58 PM

I frequently visited this new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. I was driving home from my latest visit, when I saw a teenage girl trying to get my attention. I stopped the car, got out and asked her what was wrong. She said:

"Please believe me! There's this new attraction called Fazbear's Fright with this animatronic that tried to kill us! We just barely survived, but my friend George is going back to keep that thing from getting out and hurting people and I don't want him to die and YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME! PLEASE!"

I didn't know there was also a new horror attraction based on Freddy Fazbear's Pizza!

She then burst into tears. I touched her shoulder and said:

"I believe you."

I then told her to get in the car. We were going to Fazbear's Fright.
