Dawn of a New Day
Chapter 2: Settling In
A/N: Hi! Sorry that I couldn't update on Sunday, I was busy...But anyway, uh, I really don't know what to say about this one. Yes, it's a little cliché, like, the interview, the first night, but in my opinion, I think that these things can't miss on a FNaF Fanfic (of course, depends of the Fanfic). Ok, here you go. :)
"The foe's Dragonite used Outrage! A critical hit!" Mike watched as the pixel dragon attacked the water creature. "C'mon...really?" He really didn't want to lose to Lance. He got so far, he wouldn't lose now.
"Lapras used Ice Beam! It's super effective! The foe's Dragonite fainted!" A one-hit KO. Mike was really surprised, but also happy. "And that's it." The battle was exhaustive, but to Mike the hard work was worth it. Just as Prof. Oak was congratulating the character, his alarm beeped, showing that it was already 9:45 PM.
Mike quickly got ready for the interview. Dressing a comfortable coat and a green scarf, he headed to the pizzeria in his bike. The cold breeze in his face was relaxing, and enjoying the nocturnal landscape with shops, houses and some buildings too. In no time he was in the place. "Freddy Fazbear's Pizzaria" was written in a neon yellow, with the beloved animatronic characters above; the bear in the middle, the chick and the bunny in the sides and the fox in the back of them, but not invisible.
He took a deep breath and entered in the warm place. There he saw the janitor sweeping the pizzeria, and shortly after the boss: Mark Fazbear. The older man walked right towards Mike, with a smile plastered in his face. Mark firmly shook Mike's hand, surprising him, that wasn't used to such regards.
"Oh, great, great. You must be Mike, right? Wow, you're early. That's good. I like you, kiddo! Let's get this interview started, then." Mark was surely a happy guy, Mike thought. Mark sat in the boss' chair, while Mike on the other side of the table sat on a normal chair.
"Ok then...first, your full name?"
"Michael Adams Schmidt."
"Do you have a criminal record?" Mike frowned, wondering the question made to him. Criminal records? What kind of query was that? Surely that wasn't a nice question to be made in a job interview.
"Uh, no sir."
"And the last question: why do you want to work on here on Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place?"
"Well...I just moved to this town and, uh, I need a job to, you know, settle in, basically."
"Right, right..." The boss became silent for some seconds, then made his choice. "Well, you're hired. You can start today."
Like...this? This was kinda easy. Really sounded strange to Mike, but who was him to question this? He simply accepted that. And with Mark's permission, Mike left the room.
Mike was really anxious for his first night. What if something went wrong? These kind of thoughts bothered Mike while he was waiting for 23:30 PM. But he didn't want to get nervous, so he took his "Game Boy Color" and his "Pokémon Crystal Version" cartridge and began to play.
He was walking in Kanto catching wild pokémons, when the alarm beeped. He thought that maybe there was no problem in taking his video game with him, so he took it. He got in his uniform and left his home, riding in the bicycle. Mike really disliked being too late for his tasks — he was a pontual guy. Seeing the restaurant's logo, he parked his bike in the place's parking lot.
He tried to open the door, but it was closed. Luckily, some of the staff were still there, most for his surprise. Thanking the man and closing the pizzeria, Mike breathed deeply and took a quickly look in the animatronic characters. Mike actually liked them and didn't understand why people feared them. Ok, they could be a bit creepy, yes, but they are everything to the children, he thought.
The now young guard saw his office — a cubicle with a fan, some televisors and a nice-looking pink cupcake. So this is where he would work now for the rest of the week? He would need to get used to this, but it wouldn't be a problem. The tablet on the table was turned off, and he didn't know how to turn it on — there wasn't a button to do it.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
"What? Oh, 12 PM. My shift starts now, it seems." And with that, Mike started his new job in Twinflake Town.
A/N: 'Sup, another episode done! Unfortunately, I think the plot bunny is escaping me...but don't worry, I'll find an way to write this story. Goodbye!
That's me, signing out!
