I do not own the Loud House or Five Nights at Freddy's. All rights go to Nickelodeon and Scott Cawthon
Ghosts possessing animatronics to the point that they're alive was all that Bobby could think of as he drove his way home while the sun is rising over the horizon. It's one thing that he is encountering real life ghosts in his dreams, but as far as he knows about the supernatural, (which admittedly is very little), this was up at about a hundred points. He even bets that abuela didn't even know that ghosts can do that type of thing to machines.
Ronnie Anne in the meantime is way too busy thinking about her upcoming rematch with Freddy tonight. He totally made her look like a chump by destroying her in Pac-Man last night, but she'll show him on who's the real Pac-Man champion, just he wait. "Man. I still can't believe how interactive they made Freddy and the gang."
Pulling up into their driveway, Bobby struggled on whether or not that he should tell Ronnie Anne the hard truth about the animatronics. Perhaps it was best if she knows about it now instead of finding out later, hopefully; she won't see him as a crazy lunatic after this. "Um Ronnie Anne. They aren't programed to do all that."
"What are you talking about? You saw it with your very own eyes." She pointed out.
"Uh, how do I put this? I think the ghosts of Lori's missing siblings are possessing them." He stated with a visible wince for from the look his sister gave him, she didn't exactly believe him on that statement.
"Your joking right? You do know how insane that sounds. Right?"
"I know, but it's the truth sis."
"Come on Bobby. There's just no way." It's something only a horror writer would make up.
"Think about it Ronnie Anne. They're simply just too life like to be programmed." He remarked.
She goes to dismiss this, but the more she thought about it, her brother did have a small point. They reacted a little bit too life like, and they clearly had different personalities from Bonnie using his mechanic skills to fix the arcade game to run without any tokens required, Foxy chest bumping Freddy after he won the first round, and Chica pulling the age old something on her shirt gag on her. But she just couldn't believe it, there's just simply no way it was true.
"Okay say that I did believe this whole ghost children possessing animatronics stick. Tell me Bobby. How on Earth could this even happen?"
"I honestly don't know, except that after their murder. Their ghosts stayed behind to haunt the building."
"Haunting 1O1, huh?"
"Precisely."
"And how do you know it's them. You know; other than the fact a place like that would definitely be haunted after such a terrible crime."
"They've been appearing to me in my dreams. It's actually how I got this nasty cut." Pointing to it, the cut doesn't hurt as much now, but it is the best proof he has of the ghosts.
Looking at it herself, she really couldn't see it due to the bandage covering the wound up. It's still a nasty one nonetheless. "Your saying one of them did that to you?"
Bobby nods.
"Which one exactly?" This is getting a bit interesting, even if she still doesn't one hundred percent believe it.
"The one who's possessing Foxy. She didn't like me getting too close to her sister." He answered with the disturbing imagery of those wires spitting out of her mouth like a bunch of living snakes, flashing through his mind.
"And have you talked to these ghosts?"
"I finally managed to do so last night. Well one of them at least; a blond, little girl wearing a pageant gown and tiara on her head. She was sipping some tea, we talked a bit about me dating her sister, thankfully without it getting too intense."
"That's good. Can't imagine on what it would be like to have your girlfriend's, ghost sister coming after you. Living, protective siblings are bad enough, but their ghost would haunt you forever until you leave their sibling."
"Anyway." Bobby continued. "I purposed to her on helping her and the rest of her siblings to get set free."
"And how exactly are you going to do that?" Ronnie Anne asked for if they were the ghosts of murdered children that he was dealing with. There was only one way to do it.
"I said that I would help find their killer and bring him or her to justice." He answered with a smile.
"You do know how difficult that's going to be right?"
"Yes I know. But I have to at least try as they deserve so much better than living inside those hunks of metal and wires." The only, but important question for Bobby now was on where exactly should he start? Perhaps the library or internet had some details of the Missing Children's Incident or the killing at Fredbear's.
Wait Fredbear's. From on what Lori had told him, the killings have started there with her sister Lucy. Maybe the place has something that can help tie in with this killer, who has a personal grudge against the family. It may turn out to be a wild goose chase on going there, if he can find it that is, but he'll go there anyway for he made a promise and he wasn't going to break it no matter what.
First though; he had one thing to do. "Say Ronnie Anne. Why don't you head inside. I have somewhere important to go to."
"Aren't you going to come in and have some breakfast first?" Surely he must be hungry.
"I'll pick up something on the way. I just need to do this."
Nodding, Ronnie Anne gets out of the car and silently watched as her brother backed out of the driveway and drove down the street. Leaving her to think about that she has possibly made friends with a group of ghosts, which is both terrifying, but cool at the same time for she doubts that a lot of people made friends with a couple of ghosts.
That is what Bobby said was true. Which the more she thought about it, it seemed to be increasingly true.
After getting himself some breakfast from a local waffle house. Bobby went straight to a local internet cafe to do some research on the whereabouts of the exact location of Fredbear's Family Diner.
It took him a couple of web pages, but at last; he finally found some solid information about the place on Wikipedia.
On the page; the first thing he sees is a nice picture of the place with ten parked cars in the parking lot, colorful posters plastered on the window that promised half priced soda and pizza, right along with a phone number to book a birthday party there. Unlike Freddy's though; the place is visibly smaller and only has the simple name of the restaurant above the entrance, instead of a waving character.
From what he also read on the webpage. The place had first opened on August 8th, 2014 and had ran successfully for about four years before it's eventual closer due to both the brutal murder of one of the owner's daughters and the grieving father not being able to pay up the bills, leading to the bank to foreclose it.
A pretty interesting read, but what he was originally searching for finally came into view, and that was the building's address.
Reading up on its whereabouts, he finds that it's location is, (unlike Freddy's), more in town and lucky for him, no one has demolished the place to replace it with something new, which in turn is going to make Bobby's investigation a lot more easier.
First things first though before he heads off. Bobby Logs into a word document, where he copies and pasted the address onto the document before finally printing it out.
Taking the freshly, printed address out from the printer. Bobby quickly left the cafe, gets into his car and drives off in the direction of where Fredbear's Family Diner had once ran for business.
It took many turns and stoplights, but eventually he found it embezzled in-between a post office and a nail salon. From the apparent lag of letters above the entrance and on how visibly empty it was inside. There's no doubt it was abandon even more so than Freddy's.
Parking the car across the street after a simple U-turn. Bobby gets out of the car and walked his way on over to the building, who's door has some of its red paint chipped off due to age, right along with rusty hinges that stood before him. All around the building, weeds and vines have grown unchecked with the surrounding hedge having it's branches overgrown in front of the windows, who only received the sun's light to make the inside visible.
Grabbing ahold of the yellow, straight door handle. Bobby heaved with all his might against the rusty hinges until with a snap! The door opens in a very creepy way that all old doors seemed to have.
But now that it was open, Bobby stepped into the building and took about eights steps forward before slowly stopping to have a survey of the place that's vacant of any tables, chairs, arcade cabinets, pictures and posters, the front desk, the curtain for the stage, speakers, and various other things that used to be on stage.
It's very clear he wasn't going to find any clues in here. Perhaps there's something worth finding down that hallway past the stage or behind one of these, three doors on the West Wall near him.
Deciding to look behind these doors first. Bobby went up to the first door and looked inside to see an empty kitchen that only has a large, black rat inside, which immediately took off running once the sudden daylight hit it.
Checking up in the next room; he finds a medium sized room with one long table and long shelves that clearly showed that this was once a backroom for animatronic parts and maintenance. As for the final door; Bobby can only guess that it was once a party room as evidence by the lonely Birthday banner, dangling by one line on the ceiling.
Finding nothing worth searching for inside either of these rooms. It was now finally time to go down that hallway with the red door right at the end.
Going down that hallway, Bobby also took the opportunity to check inside the two bathrooms on the right side and the small supply closet on the left side; before finally reaching the door that had manager right above a star.
"This must've been Mr. Loud's office." Going inside the room, he was actually met with furniture in the forms of a wooden desk, filing cabinets, a coat rack, and three picture frames with one being the exact same one from the photo album, another showing a cartoon drawing of FredBear serving up pizza to crowds of cheering people as he happily sang to them with his microphone in his other hand, while SpringBonnie joyfully played his guitar in the background, and finally there was a picture of a newly opened Freddy Fazbear's Pizza with a bunch of people herding themselves into the place.
Out of all these pictures displayed on the wall. The cartoon one gains his entire focus as it showed the yellow rabbit in front of his very own eyes. That picture clearly showed that this rabbit was once a mascot here, but it's clearly a animatronic just like the rest of them. How could the killer get inside a machine? Unless of course there was a wearable costume he or she could freely wear.
But wait a minute. If he or she used a mascot costume, then that either means two disturbing things. They either stole it or worse; it was someone who had once worked for Mr. Loud.
If the second theory is true. Then that meant he trusted them enough to work both here and Freddy's, only to get betrayed by them in the worst possible way a human being can commit.
But now the question is why kill your boss's kids? Did Mr. Loud unintentionally do something to make them snap or were they just simply a psychopath that only wanted the sick, twisted thrill of watching the family grief over their loss?
Bobby picked the second option as he doesn't see Mr. Loud doing something, unintentionally or not to cause this bloodthirsty monster to snap themselves into a relentless bloodlust.
He has to find out on who this employee is and perhaps these filing cabinets will help him out with the old employee files stored inside them. Carefully searching through each of them, he finds some old business charts, a training manual, files of customer reviews, but what he couldn't find were those darn employee files. Just where could they be?
Then it hit him. The police had obviously come to investigate the place after the grizzly death of Lucy. The employee files would've been the first place to check for any possible suspects. Why they must've taken up all the files with them to the police station, which is a major bummer for unlike here, Bobby can't just waltz right in there and look around the place for the files. Plus he is one hundred percent certain that the police wouldn't believe his story of ghosts possessing animatronics.
Wait a minute police. He can just ask Vanessa to look through those old employee files for even if she doesn't believe him about the ghosts. He's very confident that she does want to solve this murder case and bring this monster to justice.
He doesn't know why he didn't think of this simple solution sooner. All he has to do is go out and find her, then boom! His investigation will be a lot more simpler, hopefully.
Having this new plan in mind, Bobby heads for the door, only to stop right upon noticing another door on his left with co-owner written on it. "Co-owner? Oh yeah. Lori did mention that her dad worked with a business partner. But how did I not notice this door before?"
Shrugging to himself as he now has another room to investigate in. Bobby goes up to it and merely touches the knob, when all of a sudden; a deep shock goes through him. It wasn't an electric shock, but instead it was an overwhelming series of imagery of things he just couldn't comprehend.
Kids celebrating in a party room, FredBear and SpringBonnie singing to a crowd, someone wearing a FredBear costume giving out cake to a group of children while right outside; Lucy watches emotionlessly as a downpour of rain shower's down on her. A flash of lighting suddenly reveals a purple car behind her with someone stepping out of it, then finally; a shadow version of Bonnie with glowing, white eyes and teeth stood in the darkness before suddenly getting right in his face while letting out an unearthly screech.
As quickly as those images appear, they just as quickly disappeared, leaving Bobby on the floor completely freaked out. Just what on Earth was that!? And what was that Shadow Bonnie!?
It freaked him out enough to completely forget about investigating the place any further as he now took off running down the hallway, completely passing a lone children's drawing of a large present with glowing eyes peeking out from it, on the floor.
After escaping from Fredbear's, Bobby drove himself at about ten blocks before stopping for some ice cream to completely calm his nerves. Something he does from time to time again whenever things in his life get too stressful.
Like always; this chocolate, vanilla mix he happily, slowly ate on the outside tables is something he really needed. Allowing him to think clearly of whatever he had seen back at Fredbear's.
Call him crazy, but he thinks that he had witnessed the mere seconds before Lucy's death. Leading him with a clear image of the killer's car; a purple cadillac with dark windows.
He doesn't know if it's the best clue he had for whoever had driven that car has most likely sold it for another one to cover up their tracks. Regardless of that major drawback, it's still a clue he would have to look into with Vanessa later.
Having that covered, the only thing to think about now was that Shadow Bonnie? Why did that thing show up? He wondered if it had something to do with the killer; seeing how they have dressed up as a rabbit during their terrible crime spree at Freddy's.
He honestly doesn't know, it was just getting a bit confusing. All he did know was that after such a terrifying experience, he had enough investigating for one day, besides it was almost time to head on over to his lifeguard shift.
After finishing up the last of his ice cream, Bobby puts his bowl into the garbage can and headed back over to the car with the thought of how crazy tonight's shift is going to be.
