-Three hours later-

"Still nothing?" Mike asked, as he kept one hand gently on the buttons, and the other hand he used to lean his cheek on.

"No. They haven't moved at all," Lily said, as she looked at the animatronics in cameras one and two.

"Okay," Mike said, as he pushed his hair back with the hand he was leaning on.

-Veeerrrrr-

Lily brought her hand to her pocket, and took out her vibrating phone. She put the phone on speaker and placed it on the table between her and Mike.

"Hey Ethan," Lily said.

"Are you guys doing okay?" Ethan asked from over the phone.

"Yeah, they haven't moved yet," Mike replied.

"Okay, that's good," Ethan said.

"How are you and Foxy doing?" Lily asked her brother.

"We're doing alright. Just talking to stay awake," Ethan replied.

"What be this trinket?" Foxy asked Ethan in the background.

"That's an I-Pod man. You can listen to music from it and stuff," Ethan replied to Foxy.

"What's going on man?" Mike asked with a little smile on his face.

"Oh I'm just showing Foxy some stuff and telling him what it is. Might as well," Ethan replied to Mike.

"What be that on the screen?" Foxy asked Ethan from the background.

"The internet. You can look up stuff, play games, type things, save files, etc.," Ethan replied to Foxy.

"It sounds like you two are getting acquainted," Lily said.

"I guess, but I'm not a fool to trust so easily," Ethan said to Lily.

"Me respect that," Foxy said to Ethan.

-Two hours later: 5:00-

"Any movement?" Mike asked, while laying his head on the table.

"No," Lily replied, as she flicked through the cameras to the boiler room.

"Uuuuuh," Mike said.

"Would you prefer if they did move?" Lily asked.

"No!" Mike said quickly, as his eyes widened a bit.

"Well, even if they don't move, we'll still come back tom-" Lily cut herself off when she saw something in the camera.

"What is it?" Mike asked, as he lifted his head up and looked at the camera monitor.

Both of their eyes widened when they were looking at camera three. The poodle animatronic's head was turned half-way towards where the camera was, so half of her face was shown. Also, her visible eye was all black with a large white pupil that went over her irises, and she had a grim smile etched on her face. Lily and Mike moved their upper-bodies back from seeing that.

"She doesn't normally look like that right?" Mike asked, with some fear in his voice.

"No. Her eyes are pink," Lily said, as she took a picture from her pocket that management gave them before entering the place.

The picture showed the three animatronics together with their names labeled under them.

"That's Penelope Poodle. She's the main one," Lily said, as she placed the picture on the table, and flicked the camera to the other animatronics.

"One of them is gone," Lily said, as she saw that Brian the Clown Terrier wasn't in his place anymore.

"What? They're moving now?!" Mike said, as he looked at the monitor.

"You should check the hall in front of us," Lily said, as she searched for Brian.

"Oh yeah," Mike said, as he pressed the light button and was able to see in the hallway.

There was nothing there though.

"I found him," Lily said, as she was able to find Brian standing at the side of the entrance to the stairway, hidden from sight if you were looking down the hall.

"That jerk is trying to hide from me," Mike said as he looked at the monitor, a little annoyed at Brian.

"Keep an eye on the hallway," Lily said, and Mike nodded as he turned his attention to the hallway before them.

Then Lily flicked the camera, and saw that Max hadn't moved. However, when Lily flicked the camera to the one behind Penelope, she noticed that Penelope was further away from the camera since she could see the left side of her body and tail.

"Penelope is on the move," Lily said.

"Is she close?" Mike asked.

"No, she didn't move that far," Lily said, as she flicked the camera and saw that Max still hadn't moved.

Then Mike clicked the hall light, and he saw Brian standing just above the four steps, staring in his direction.

"Lily!" Mike said, keeping his eyes on Brian, and Lily looked up from the monitor.

"Click the light on and off," Lily said.

Mike did as instructed, waiting a few seconds before clicking on the light, and Brian came closer to them. Then Mike closed the door.

"He's not getting any closer than that," Mike said.

Lily looked through the camera, and she flicked to camera five, as she saw that Brian moved back to the staircase and stood on the bottom of the steps to the first floor. She flicked through the camera and saw that Penelope wasn't on camera three anymore. Then she flicked the camera to camera four and her eyes widened when she noticed that Penelope looked taller standing outside of the second floor entrance. She noticed that there were metal cylinders from Penelope's neck, shoulders, and legs, that extended to make her taller.

'Did she just grow?' Lily thought, as she flicked the camera and noticed that Brian went back to his spot, but that Max wasn't in his place.

Mike opened the door and he flicked on the light, as he saw that no one was there.

"He's not here anymore," Mike said.

"Penelope is closer, and Max has moved," Lily said.

"Okay, I'll keep watch on the hall," Mike said, as he clicked on the light to check and still saw nothing.

Then Lily flicked to camera six and saw that Max was holding the door of the boiler room open, as if he just came in the room, and that he was looking towards the camera.

"It looks like Max was going into the boiler room, but then he stopped," Lily said.

"Why he stopped," Mike asked.

"I don't know, and it is strange that he didn't come straight here," Lily said.

"Hm..." Mike said, thinking, and then he closed the door.

"Did you see something?" Lily said.

"No. What is that Max dog doing now?" Mike asked.

Lily looked at the camera, and saw it flicker, as she smacked the monitor with her hand to see better. She noticed that Max moved fully into the room.

"He's totally in the boiler room now," Lily said.

Then Mike opened the door, and flicked the light to see that no one was there.

"Where is he now?" Mike asked.

Lily looked at the camera again, and it flickered, as she smacked it, and then she saw that Max was standing in front of the door while holding it open to leave.

"He's leaving the room," Lily said.

"He's trying to cut the power," Mike said.

"What?" Lily asked.

"If we close the door for too long or at anytime, that Max dog will try to cut the power so that we won't be able to close the door anymore," Mike speculated.

"That makes sense," Lily said, as the camera flickered again and Max wasn't in the boiler room anymore.

Then Mike flicked on the hall light, and he saw Penelope standing at the end of the hall, her head close to the ceiling, while her center waist was also extended by metal cylinders, and her neck, shoulders, forearms, legs, and feet were extended too. Her eyes were black with the large white pupils, and her hands had claws on the tips of her fingers.

"L-Lily!" Mike said, with his eyes widened at the animatronic poodle.

Lily looked ahead, and her eyes widened as well. Mike flickered off the light for a few seconds and then he put it on. Penelope was closer this time, halfway through the hall, and her head was lower while her arms were bended in front of her and her legs as well, as if she was going to jump forward. Mike immediately closed the door.

"She's freaking scary!" Mike said.

Lily looked through the camera and she saw that Brian and Max were back in their places. Then Lily and Mike heard something banging from the left vent, and Lily took her flashlight and shined it on the left vent. They both gasped when they saw Penelope looking at them with a sinister grin from the vent, while her hands were on the sides of the vent walls. Mike immediately closed the left vent.

"I didn't know they could climb through the vents," Mike said, surprised.

"Me either," Lily said.

Then they heard a noise from a distance outside of the door, and then Mike opened the door and flashed the light. Penelope was standing further back in the hallway, as she was looking at Lily and Mike with an expression of some sort that said, "did you just close the door in my face?" For a moment, they had a stare down, until Mike started flicking the light on and off continuously and quickly. Lily looked towards Mike, and when she looked towards Penelope, she noticed that Penelope's eyes were half closed, and that she was moving back further by each flicker of the light.

"Hold on," Lily said, and then Mike stopped.

After a moment of silence, Lily pointed to the light button, and Mike clicked it on to see that Penelope was no longer in the hallway. Lily flashed her flashlight to the right vent and saw that Penelope wasn't there either. Then Lily checked the camera, and she saw Penelope on camera five in front of the second floor entrance, while her hand was on her eyes.

"She can't handle the flashing of the light," Lily speculated.

"Oh good. At least we know how to keep her away," Mike said.

"How did you know the flashing would work?" Lily asked, while checking the cameras and seeing that Brian and Max still hadn't moved.

"It was the only thing I could think of to do," Mike said, as he opened the left vent door.

-Ding- -Ding- Diiiiing-

Lily and Mike looked up to see that the time reached six. The night shift was finally over.

"Phew," Mike said, as he breathed out and sat back.

Lily quickly looked through the cameras to see that Max, Brian, and Penelope were back in their original places, and that Penelope was small again.

"Let's go, quickly," Lily said, and Mike nodded.

They both gathered their belongings and quickly left the establishment, although they felt as though the two animatronics were watching them leave. Lily and Mike saw Ethan's van outside, as they jumped in, Mike in the back next to Foxy and Lily in the front next to Ethan.

"How was it?" Ethan asked.

"They became more active at five, and the poodle came very close," Lily said.

"It got that close on the first night?" Ethan asked.

"She tried to climb through the vent to get us," Mike said, as Foxy's ears perked up after hearing that.

"How did ye stop her?" Foxy asked.

"I closed the vent door, she came out, and then I flashed the hall light on her face and she ran back," Mike replied.

Foxy slowly nodded, as he felt nostalgia from this conservation.

"Let's go to the house," Lily said to Ethan, and he nodded and started the engine.

They drove back to the house, as Lily and Mike informed Ethan and Foxy about what happened in Penelope Poodle's Party Doodle.

So what do you guys think of Penelope so far?
