December 25, 2016
It has been quite a long time since K'hadesh appeared in William's life, and the "Gambling Club" appeared in the lives of Helen and Thomas. A lot has happened during this period. For example, many birthdays were celebrated, Thomas went to school in the first grade. And also William finished Funtime Freddy, and it was in his workshop. Thanks to K'hadesh's help and magic, the animatronic was ready in just 3 months!
This is a white animatronic bear with a lilac color, wearing a black top hat, having a pair of decorative buttons on his stomach and a glove doll. Freddy has blue eyes, his face is divided into segments of different shapes and sizes. On Freddy's right hand is a miniature animatronic Bon-Bon in the form of a glove doll resembling a blue rabbit with pink eyes and rosy cheeks. Although most of the time the Bon-Bon is fixed on the hand of its owner, it has the ability to work autonomously. There is a round speaker on Freddy's chest, from which his voice will be heard. Freddy holds a microphone in his left hand.
In addition to the bear, William planned to create Ennard, Funtime Foxy, Ballora and... The man wanted to open his own pizzeria, and he also hoped that five animatronics would perform in it, he had already come up with four animatronics, but could not come up with a fifth one. William couldn't understand where he got such inspiration from. Maybe K'hadesh is somehow connected with this. However, it doesn't matter now. The New Year is coming soon and we need to prepare for it! Therefore, William decided to put aside thoughts about robots and think about the holiday. So he did.
15 hours 19 minutes
- Well, have you decided what you will give? - Thomas asked, making a snowman.
All the members of the club were playing near Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria, and everyone was discussing the upcoming holiday, gifts, decorations, and so on. Thomas decided to make a snowman, which was helped by his friend Elizabeth, who for a long time could not decide what to give to whom.
- No, but I have a better idea! - the redhead smiled. - I'm going to have a "Secret Santa" game!
- What kind of "Secret Santa"?
- "Secret Santa" is a game, the essence of which is the exchange of gifts between all participants of the game. The name of the person you are giving a gift to is chosen randomly, and only you know this name. Until the moment of exchanging gifts, no one knows who is giving a gift to whom. And not a single participant knows who got his name. Understood?
- And when are you going to start this game? - Thomas asked.
- Right now! - Elizabeth replied and started calling everyone. - Guys! Come all to me!
A few minutes later, the kids crowded around Elizabeth and waited for her to tell them.
- I have a very interesting game for you! It's called "Secret Santa." Does someone need to explain its rules?
Everyone shook their heads.
- Am I the only one hearing about this game for the first time? - Thomas was slightly saddened.
- So, I have already prepared all your names, but do not dare to tell anyone, otherwise you will be disqualified! - the redhead warned. - Take it apart.
And the girl pulled forward a box with papers inside. Everyone began to disassemble and when everyone received their papers, everyone hid them who where.
- Great! You should prepare a gift for this person for the New Year!
- Then I will go now to look for this person a gift. - Gabriel said and started to leave.
- Maybe then we'll all go look for gifts now? - Sammy suggested.
Everyone agreed with him.
- Then we'll meet at this pizzeria at 17:00! - Elizabeth announced.
After warning the adults, while asking them for some money for gifts, the kids went to a shopping center located nearby.
15 hours and 30 minutes
Michael, Mark, Simon, Frederick and Nina walked first in the park, and then went to the mall. They were going to buy themselves food and gifts and have a good time. Michael decided that he would buy some headphones for himself, Mark was looking for a comic book for himself, Frederick had already noticed one phone for himself, Simon wanted to buy himself some figure of a character from a video game, and Nina decided that good cosmetics would be the best gift for her.
- So, Nina, you go to get your makeup, Michael and Frederick go to the hardware store, and Simon and I went to the game store. We'll meet near this fountain at 16:30! - Mark planned everything, and the guys dispersed.
15 hours 45 minutes
While teenagers are looking for good gifts for themselves, adults are also not sitting idly by. Henry knew that Charlie was very fond of dolls, and especially puppets, and thought that she would be delighted with some beautiful puppet. But they also didn't forget about Sammy. He adored Balloon Boy, and there were no toys for this animatronic, but Sammy will be the first child to receive a soft Balloon Boy toy!
Scott and Rita decided to give Gabriel a cowboy hat and a toy gun. Lately, Gabriel has suddenly become interested in cowboys. No one could understand why, and the boy himself, too, just said that he suddenly began to like it. Cassidy will be given a Fredbear toy. He's been asking them for it for a long time.
Helen's parents — Maria Roberts and Adam Roberts already knew the parents of Helen's friends, and they are very happy that they moved to this wonderful city. The couple was going to give their daughter a plush Toy Foxy with Richard the parrot, which could be disassembled and played with, and they decided to give Quentin a soft squeaking bone.
Thomas' parents, James and Anna Wright, are very good-natured people and quickly became friends with the parents of their son's friends. They'll give Thomas a pair of opera glasses.
William and Clara were no exception either. They decided to give Naomi a ballet tutu and pointe shoes, Chris soft toys Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy. You ask: what kind of Chica? The fact is that William, Henry and Scott were offered an animatronic named Chica by one company, since the company was closing next year, and there was nowhere to put the robot. The trio agreed. William decided that he could ask them to make one such toy, and Chris would get this stuffed toy Chica! Michael's father wants to give him a set of tools so that his son does not have to ask his dad for them every time, and Elizabeth will be given a book "Absolutely everything you need to know about our world". Elizabeth, after reading the fairy tale "Eloise and her friends", became interested in the Elements of Harmony, magic, and so on, and in this book it is just written about all this! We can assume that adults are already ready for the New Year.
- By the way, Will. - Henry said to William. - Lately, Charlie has been complaining that you behave strangely around her, as if you despise her. But don't worry, I'm not mad at you or anything like that, she just had a fantasy, didn't she?
- Oh, I guess I'm scaring her with my sleepy look, I'm sorry... - William tried to wriggle out.
He really began to despise her. This is not a child, but an evil that has simply not yet manifested itself, but it is capable of such terrible things that the very thought of it caused goosebumps.
- Come on, it's alright, I understand. - Henry smiled.
15 hours and 50 minutes
The children separated, and everyone was looking for a gift. Elizabeth, to her regret, Thomas fell out.
- Well, why him?! - Lisa was indignant, going to the store with all sorts of things related to the theater. - He's so picky! Be sure to find a little thing that he will not like.
She had no idea what to give him. Of course, she could give a mask or some kind of hat, but it's too easy! The girl intended to surprise her friend.
After entering the store, the red-haired girl wanted to go back out.
The store was empty, but Phil was calmly sitting at the cash register and did not even immediately notice the visitor, but looking up, he smiled.
- Well, well, well... - the guy drawled. - Who is this who has come to us?
- The one who will dream about you at night in nightmares. - Elizabeth replied and walked over to the counter with mugs.
- Well, Happy New Year to you! Listen, the first time the acquaintance didn't work out, but can you still tell me at least your last name? I told you mine.
- And Happy New Year to you, but what will change if I tell you my last name? What are you doing here anyway? You have your own kiosk, like. And why are you wearing this cap? - the girl asked, examining the mugs.
- Well, I'll have more knowledge. Yes, I have my own kiosk, but my great-uncle asked me to stay here instead of him while he travels somewhere. And I wear the cap because I like it, so I wear it. And where are your parents? Aren't you afraid to walk around like this alone?
- You know less, you sleep more soundly. No, it's not scary.
- And if some person kidnaps you, say, for example, me? Or a monster?
- What do you want from me? And the monsters won't be able to kidnap me, they're trapped in Underground.
- Don't think about it, I'm not some kind of maniac or something worse. - Phil began to justify himself. - I'm just... Interested in you.
- And how did I interest you?
- Well, how. You are beautiful, quite harmful and not particularly talkative, smart as some 20-year-old nerd.
- No, I'm not. How much does this mug cost? - approaching the cash register with a mug in her hands, the girl asked.
- Exactly 1 dollar. So will you tell me your last name? - Phil persisted.
- Afton. Elizabeth Afton. - Lisa said, holding out the bill. - And yes. I've seen you deceive people by showing them incredible tricks. Cut it out.
- Whatever you say. - Phil answered, taking the bill.
- You're pretty funny. - finally, Elizabeth's face changed from stony to smiling. - See you again!
- And you don't get sick. - pulling out the phone, Phil threw one last.
Elizabeth left the store, took the mug out of the bag and began to examine it again. It was a small ordinary white mug with a print of Toy Bonnie who looked at the girl with a smile on his face and held a red guitar in his metal paws. Thomas definitely does not expect such a gift.
- It turned out to be easier than I thought. - putting the mug back in the bag, Lisa said to herself and went to the pizzeria to wait for everyone else.
What was Thomas doing at that time? He was looking for Cassidy's gift. The boy decided not to bother much with this and decided to buy him a plush shark. Going into the store and finding a shark, he looked at the price and was slightly surprised. 14 dollars. And they gave him $13 and 50 cents.
- Damn, I told they exactly 14 should be given! - Thomas grumbled. - And what should I do?
And then he saw Chris walking by.
- Hey, Chris! - Thomas called out to a friend. - Do you have 50 cents?
- Why? - Chris asked.
- I wanted to Ca... A person whose name cannot be named can buy a shark, but I'm 50 cents short of it. So will you give it?
- I will, of course! - Chris smiled. - But with one condition...
- Come on... And what is this?
- You'll be buying me sweets with your own money for the next week!
After looking at the shark again, Thomas agreed.
Some time later, a satisfied Thomas with a shark in his hands went to the pizzeria. Yes, he sacrificed his property in return for a gift to a friend, but isn't that what friends should do?
Meanwhile, Cassidy was looking for a gift for Naomi. Yes, he came across the name of a person he likes. He wanted to make her happy this New Year and thought hard and looked for what gift would suit her. While he was doing this, he did not notice Naomi herself, who was also looking for something in the toy department.
- Oh, hello! - Naomi saw Cassidy.
- Oh, y-yes hello! - Cassidy asked nervously.
- Well, did you find a gift for your little man? - the brunette smiled.
- N-not yet, b-but I'll go look for it. Bye! - having squeezed out these words, Cassidy hurriedly left.
The girl just shrugged and continued to choose something.
Cassidy decided that he needed to find a gift as soon as possible. And he found it right there. There was a beautiful small porcelain doll on the shelf in front of him. And not just some doll, but a ballerina! She was standing in a pose with her arms raised up and her left leg bent. Looking at the price and seeing that there was a stock on it now, Cassidy realized that this was it. Naomi will definitely like this doll!
A few minutes later, Cassidy quickly went to the pizzeria so that Naomi wouldn't notice him with a gift for her.
And now you will ask the question: what and for whom did Naomi choose herself? She was looking for a gift for Helen. Even though they've been friends for like six months, Naomi had no idea what she would like the most. She was thinking of buying plush Toy Foxy for her, but it seemed too simple to her. It was necessary to come up with something.
- Well, every girl loves jewelry, and if you don't know what to give to a friend, then just give a necklace or a bracelet! - having made a conclusion to herself, the brunette went to another store.
Entering the jewelry store, the woman at the checkout greeted the little visitor.
- If something goes wrong — just call me! - the woman warned.
- Excuse me, do you sell any jewelry for girls who have dogs? - Naomi asked.
- It's that department over there! - pointing to the side with her finger, the woman replied.
- Thank you! - the brunette thanked and went to that department.
A few minutes passed, and Naomi found a suitable gift for Helen. It was a gold bracelet with a small heart, in which you could insert some kind of photo, for example, a photo of yourself and your puppy. After buying the bracelet, the girl went to the pizzeria with a calm soul. She somehow knew that Helen would definitely like the gift.
Helen had the hardest time of all. She's only been in this city for six months and, although she made good friends with the guys, her head didn't give any ideas at all what gift to give Chris! She knew that he loved his plush Fredbear and with him he was not so afraid to stand near animatronics. Helen thought he might like it: some kind of plush animatronic or something else? She didn't know. Sighing, Helen and Quentin went shopping. On the way, Helen met Naomi.
- Naomi! Hi! Can I ask you something? - for Helen, a chance has presented itself that will help Chris choose the perfect gift.
- Hello! Of course, ask! - Naomi smiled.
- Just don't tell anyone, but I got Chris, and I don't know what to give him... Can you recommend something? - the blonde asked.
- Oh, well, he loves plush animatronics, chess, all sorts of interactive toys... I know! - Naomi suddenly beamed. - You can give him a plush Spring Bonnie! After all, Fredbear and Spring Bonnie perform together, Chris has only Fredbear, and he loves plush animatronics! I think it's a good gift!
- Exactly! Thank you very much for the idea! - Helen replied, and she and Quentin ran towards the store with plush toys.
After a while, the puppy and his owner left the store. In her hands, the girl was carrying a small package containing plush Spring Bonnie. It's great that she moved to this city.
At this time, Chris was walking around the supermarket. There he was trying to find a large box, which should contain a lot of orange juice. He knew Sammy was crazy about it. Finally, he found it. Picking up the box and somehow reaching the cash register, the boy silently paid and went to the pizzeria with this box. It was even easier for Chris than it was for Elizabeth.
But Sammy was struggling with a gift for Gabriel. He knew that he loved Freddy and singing. It would be possible to buy him a plush Freddy, a hat, a bow tie, but Gabriel already has it all. He need something else. Freddy, singing... Singing, singing... Microphone! He loves to sing, which means he needs a microphone!
- Huh, I'm so smart! - Sammy praised himself and headed to the store.
Meanwhile, Gabriel decided that a yarn bowl would be enough for Charlotte. Lately, Charlie has started knitting. She knitted some toys and now she was knitting a scarf for dad.
Entering the craft shop, Gabriel saw Charlie, and the boy wanted to go outside, but the girl managed to notice him.
- Hi, Gabriel! And what are you doing in a craft store? - the girl was surprised.
- Hello! I came across your name, and I'm looking for a gift for you. - Gabriel said bluntly.
- But you can't tell anyone the name that you got, otherwise you're out of the game! - Charlie remembered Lisa's words.
- Let's pretend that we haven't met, and when I give you a gift, then you'll pretend that you didn't know that I was giving you a gift. - the boy replied.
- And what will you give me? - the needlewoman grinned.
- And that's a secret. - Gabriel smiled and went to buy a bowl.
The girl shrugged her shoulders and went to the cash register. When Charlie finally left, Gabriel bought a yarn bowl and went back to the pizzeria. He wasn't going to lie to Charlie or hide anything from her. Well, besides, what a gift he had prepared for her.
At this time, Charlie was going to the pizzeria. Actually, her gift still wasn't ready. She just bought yarn. In fact, she wanted to knit a doll for Elizabeth. And not just a doll, but an animatronic that doesn't exist, but if there was one, then Elizabeth would have liked it. Simply put, Elizabeth's favorite animatronic. After all, the redhead does not have a favorite robot, and Charlotte hoped at least for this. In her head, she already had an image of a doll that she would knit.
16 hours 45 minutes
Finally, all the children were gathered and sat at the same table in the pizzeria.
- So, is everyone here? - Elizabeth began to speak.
- As you can see. - Sammy replied.
- No one has told anyone the names, and everyone has already bought gifts, right?
Everyone nodded.
- Great! - the girl smiled. - Then let's leave all the presents in Mr. Cawthon's office and go play!
So they did.
December 31, 2016
The Afton, Emily, Cawthon, Roberts and Wright families decided that they would celebrate at Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was gathered and actively preparing salads, pizza, desserts and so on. The children played outside and helped the adults, Michael and his friends showed each other their purchased gifts and also helped the adults, and all the gifts lay quietly under the Christmas tree.
By the way, Michael bought himself cool black and red headphones, Mark comics about some anime, Frederick now had a good modern phone, Simon bought a figurine of some anime character, and Nina came beautiful and already tried her new cosmetics, which was just perfect for her.
Finally, at 9 o'clock in the evening, everything was ready. The adults thought it was time to give gifts. When everything was given away, the adults began to give each other gifts as well. Everyone was happy, and the children also started giving each other gifts. Thomas really liked the mug with Toy Bonnie and the binoculars, Cassidy was beaming with happiness, holding a plush Fredbear and a shark in his hands, Naomi just wanted to dance with her new porcelain doll, Helen really liked the bracelet, and she wore it as a memory of this city, friends and her faithful friend Quentin, emotions and feelings of Chris were hard to describe, when he was jumping to the ceiling with animatronics toys, Sammy was almost guarding his box with a bunch of orange juice, while drinking it himself and hugging a plush Balloon Boy, Gabriel decided that it was possible to sing into a new microphone, Charlie was very pleased with the yarn bowl, and Elizabeth realized that she had her own favorite doll, which she named Circus Baby. She looks like a girl with clown makeup, skin as white as porcelain, and red hair braided in ponytails with blue threads. Baby has blue eyes, a small red nose, round rosy cheeks. She is wearing a bright red dress with folded ruffles on the shoulders. She is shod in red shoes of a jester with a white sole and curved socks, on which golden balls imitating bells are attached.
- If she really was an animatronic, then she would be my favorite animatronic! - Elizabeth said.
And then it dawned on William.
23 hours 45 minutes
The long-awaited 2017 is about to come. This 2016 was a good year, there were a lot of new acquaintances, and in general it was well remembered by everyone. Adults discussed the future, everything that happened this year, children sang songs, played games and just rejoiced, teenagers drank soda and wished each other all the best. Everyone was dressed smartly, and no one was sad, because it's the New Year and they should be happy! Well, almost no one was sad...
23 hours 58 minutes
Here everyone is sitting at the table and already eating salads. William turned on the TV. It struck exactly 00:00.
- Hurray! - everyone shouted, and there was a clink of glasses against each other.
At that time, it was very difficult to find someone who was not happy. But he was there.
No one noticed K'hadesh, not even William himself. They were all happy. They were all in the family circle and were happy for everyone. But not for him. Naturally, no one even saw him. He just stood there and looked at it all. He wanted them all to shut up. So that in an instant everything stops playing in such bright colors. He didn't want to be alone. He also wanted to have a family. But...
- Hello. - suddenly I heard a ghost's voice nearby.
Turning to his source, he saw William next to him in a New Year's red hat and a couple of glasses of wine in his hands.
- Happy New Year, K'hadesh. - the blue-eyed man smiled and handed one glass to K'hadesh.
- Happy New Year, William. - K'hadesh smiled and took a glass in his hand.
However, he has his own plan. A plan that will come true next year. He also, like them, made a wish for this plan to come true. And his wish will be fulfilled.
