In the year 2023, a group of people unrelated to Fazbear Entertainment, which ceased to exist as a corporate entity back in the '90s, decided to make a horror attraction based on the stories at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The place was named 'Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction".

A trans man named Alex Josephi took up the position of security guard. On his first night as the guard (though his second working for the place), a full week before Fazbear's Fright was to be opened to the public, his phone rang and he got a call. When he answered it, the dude on the other end said, "Hey hey, glad you came back for another night! I promise this will be more interesting than last night! We found some, some great new relics over the weekend and we're in the process of finding a lead. The attraction opens in, like a week, so we have to make sure everything works and nothing catches on fire! Heh, in trying to make the place feel vintage, it came and the cost of safety. Some of the equipment is unreliable. Yeah, I was serious about the risk of fire. Anyway, when the place opens, people will come in at the opposite end of the building, work their way towards you, go past you, and out the exit. Yeah, you're part of the attraction. You'll be starring as… the security guard! Besides just making sure no one steals things or makes out, you're also part of the show. Uh, we found another set of drawings, and a Foxy head! It may be a shitty cosplay, though. And we found a, uh, shiny desk fan. Metal, though, so watch the fingers. Right know, uh, the place is just… flashy lights and spooky props. I, er, though we'd have more by now. If we don't have an animatronic by next week, we may have to dress you up in a furry suit to spook people. Uh, anyway, one of the guys who helped design the buildings says there was, like, an extra room that got boarded up. So, we'll look in there. Uh, keep an eye on things and we'll do our best to have something cool tomorrow."

The night was uneventful, part of it being that the dude on the phone had been talking for four hours. When 6 AM came, Alex didn't think too much about it.

The following night, the dude on the phone called and said, "Hey, man, okay, I have awesome news. First, we found training cassette tapes. They were, like, training tapes for, like, other employees. We could, like, have them playing… over the speakers. But I have an even better surprise. We found an animatronic. Uh-oh-uh, it's not where I left it! I'm-I'm sure you can find it. Okay, I've set the tapes up to play from the phone for every night from now on. I'm outta here!"

The audio from the tape said, "Uh, hello? Hello hello! Uh, welcome to your new career as a performer and entertainer for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Er, these tapes will provide you with info you need to handle, climb into, and get out of mascot costumes. Right now, there are two characters that double as both animatronics and suits, with a third character being under construction. So please, pay close attention while learning how to operate these suits because doing the wrong thing can lead to a brutal death. First, how they work in animatronic form is that they are set to turn and walk towards sound cues. This makes sure they stay where people are. To turn them into suit mode, insert and turn the hand crank the manufacturer provides. Turning the crank will recoil and compress the animatronic parts around the side of the suit, providing room to climb inside. Please make sure the springlocks are fastened tight so the animatronic devices remain fixed. Remember to smile. You're the face of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza."

During the call, Alex located the animatronic. It seemed to be a rabbit colored a rotting green, with a partial right ear and holes throughout the body exposing endoskeleton and wiring. Looking through the cameras, he found what seemed to be a charred, semitransparent Balloon Boy animatronic. He stared at it and it appeared in front of him when he lowered the camera. The Balloon Boy said, "Hello… Be gone…"

That spooked Alex, but he remained determined to do his job. He saw the rabbit, who his mind labeled as 'Springtrap', get closer. He used audio to lure him away. Looking at one camera, he saw a charred version of Mangle that was also semitransparent. Staring at them, they made a loud noise and peeked into the office from the window in front of it.

The following night, Alex got a call. Knowing the dude from before had fled, he wasn't surprised when the audio was from another tape. It said, "Uh, hello hello! For today's lesson, we'll continue on how to handle the springlock suits. When wearing one, make sure the animatronic parts are fastened. It may take longer than you think to position your head and torso between these parts in a matter where you can move or speak. Don't touch them or even breathe on them. If springlock failure happens, hope someone calls 911 and in the meantime, maneuver away from populated areas before you die. Maybe you could use the safe room? It's an extra room near the restrooms not included in the digital map layout programmed into the animatronics or security cameras. The room is hidden to customers, invisible to animatronics, and off camera at all times. As always, remember to smile. You're the face of Freddy's."

As the call ended, Alex saw what appeared to be Freddy Fazbear behind the window in the front of the office. Staring at him, this phantom Freddy phased through the window, revealing that he was semitransparent, had wires coming out of his right eye, was missing his left ear, a jaw that was always open, and both upper and lower teeth. He said, "We're planning to burn this place down to send the one inside the Spring Bonnie animatronic to Hell,"

"'We'?"

A charred, semitransparent version of Chica phased out of the ground, looking closer to how she appeared in the '90s than the '80s. She said, "Watermelon!"

"Yeah, your head looks like one," Alex said,

"Watermelon?" Phantom Chica said.

A charred, semitransparent version of Withered Foxy with no hook (due to missing the forearm his hook was on) appeared from the vent on the right side of the office. He said, "Yargh! Leave so we can burn this here attraction to the ground with no regrets!"

Alex continued to do his job, finding the phantom characters more of an annoyance than something to be scared of. He assumed they were supernatural given their ability to clip through things and was unsure how they planned to burn the place down given how he assumed they clipped through everything.

On his fourth night, the phone rang, Alex picked it up, and it said, "Uh, hello? Hello hello? Er, you are no longer allowed to wear the springlock suits. After learning of a springlock failure incident, the suits are no longer deemed okay to wear. For now, you have to wear mascot costumes without animatronic parts. They were found on short notice, so you should deflect any questions about relevance or how appropriate they are. That said, we are not responsible if you put one on and suffer springlock failure after all of these warnings. As always, remember to smile since you're the face of Freddy's."

Another phantom appeared, this one being a charred, semitransparent version of the Puppet. They had sharp teeth for some reason, which was odd because the original Puppet had no teeth. This one said, "We are ready to burn this place to the ground. The haunted Spring Bonnie suit is at the other end of the facility. Go now! And given the faulty wiring of this place, we hope it'll be pinned on that."

The other five phantoms appeared, all armed with flamethrowers. Rather than point them at Alex, they pointed it away from him and he took the opportunity to run away since the exit was right there. The phantoms noticed him leave and burned down Fazbear's Fright, sending Springtrap to Hell.
