Once Michael visited Jerry when he was at work. He got off his job early due to a weather condition; since he had nothing else to do, he found it a good decision. Michael always drove by the parking lot to the side of the building to pick up Jerry, so he felt weird parking in it. When Michael got out of his bug and locked the door, he saw a freaky costume lurking near the door. Michael had never actually been inside of Fredbear's Family Diner. He just knew about it from what Jerry said, and usually he wasn't talking about it, he was just complaining. Jerry never mentioned it had horrifying costumes. Michael considered himself a pretty brave man, so he attempted to walk by it. After Michael got pretty close up to the door, the thing looked over at him and screeched. Michael fell over backwards onto the hot sidewalk, and tried to cover his face with his arm, as it started to shake and move. Right about then he saw the thing wasn't planning to attack, or blow up. It took off its mask and revealed a laughing, almost hysterical Jerry.
"Dang it, man! That's the last time that I tell you I'm coming."
"Sorry, hah! I sure got you though, eh? That's the good thing about these costumes, they can be creepy if they try to. There's this one and a purple one. They're just suppose to be spares just in case something goes wrong, but Steve said I could wear them to entertain kids."
"Entertain? Don't you mean terrify? That's fucking horrifying, man."
"Woah, careful about the curse words, don't forget we're going into a children's restaurant."
"Wait, isn't it a diner?"
"Yeah, except we have birthdays every couple days. Kids really seem to dig the machine."
"Oh, cool! Do you have an arcade machine?"
"Nah, we're way more advanced than that. We have a whole robot."
"Really? I'd love to..." Michael said, forgiving Jerry for scaring him. Michael liked robots, they amazed him.
"Jerry! Back to work. You can socialise later. Bring this cake to table five."
"Alright, Sir!" Jerry yelled back into the restaurant, then he turned back to Michael, "So, I have to get to work. You can sit around the edge, don't bug Lisa, though. She's tryna repair Fredbear."
"Lisa Smith? Like from school? I've had a crush on her forever, man!" Lisa was a girl from Michael's college. She was an advanced student in Computer Science. She sat next to him in the class they shared.
"Get over it, she's a whole year younger than you. Well, I have to go bring cake to the children."
"Okay, man. See you later. I'm going to check out this place." Michael said to Jerry. Michael walked around the establishment, looking around to the crowded cheery party tables. There was a kitchen in the back, and a door that had a sign that said, 'Sorry! Employees Only!' on it. The white walls were covered in framed children's artwork, Michael supposed it was because Steve valued children as much as Jerry did. This place is so fake, everything looks plastic. The more Michael looked, the weirder it felt. The walls almost looked plasticy. Huh, I guess Steve likes to be ahead of his time. For some reason, he had a strange feeling in his gut around here, and he didn't like it. So he decided to go ask Steve where Lisa was.
"Hey mister, do you know where I can find Lisa?"
"In the back, she's working on the animatronic Fredbear. Hey, you know Jerry is always talking about you. You must be a big inspiration in his life. Are you his brother?"
"Nah, just a friend. I think I'm going to go talk to Lisa." Michael was pretty excited to see Lisa, and the animatronic she was working on. He wondered if he could get a close look at it, to see its circuits.
"Alright. Goodbye."
Lisa was in the back with a bunch of electronic parts scattered around her. She was wearing a white striped yellow shirt. Michael startled her when he opened the 'Sorry! Employees Only' door into the room.
"Oh, hi, Michael. I was just working on Fredbear. I'm going to have to replace its ears with these rabbit ones. The old ones keep on falling off."
"But then.. won't he look like a rabbit?" Michael thought Fredbear looked even creepier than the suits. He seemed to stare deep into your soul with his white eyes.
"Yeah... I guess so. So, how are you? Still working at Sears?"
"Yeah. Actually, I'm going to move on to the guard field. I'm tired of taking out their trash."
"Ground control to major Michael. Can you hear me, major Michael? I'm going now, goodbye. See you tomorrow." Jerry said, getting out of the bug.
"What? Oh, goodbye, Jerry. See you tomorrow before school."
I wonder what he's always thinking about. He just sits there and stares. Sure, he's conscious, but I don't think he's paying attention. Jerry walked up the cobblestone stairs into his Father's house. He tried to be silent while opening the door, fearful of waking his father.
His mother had died when he was young, and his father was a heavy alcoholic. Jerry couldn't wait until he could move in with Michael. He had decided on it next year, after he graduated high school. Jerry went upstairs to his room. His room had shelves of comic books, and tons of posters hanging around. Jerry was a big fan of Rolling Stones. He had all their albums and knew when each and every concert was. Jerry took off his overshirt, his t-shirt, and his pants. He proceeded to get into his bed, and turn off his bedside light. I wonder if Michael realizes tomorrow is Friday. Did he say after school or before?
