"A long time ago, somewhere far away, there was a village called Friendville. People lived in it amicably, and everyone knew each other. No one quarreled with anyone, and everyone helped each other.
One day two simple ladies arrived in this village — Eloise Anderson and Nicole Anderson. Eloise was going to study here, and her older sister, Nicole, wanted to show her younger sister that there are other more interesting things in life besides studying. Eloise's teacher lived in this village and was a princess. Everyone respected and adored Princess Sofia. She saved the whole village from the darkness — an evil force that wanted to subdue the whole village.
Sofia saw that Eloise was already immersed in her studies and decided to give her a task. Since the Day of the Expulsion of Darkness from the village will soon be celebrated in the village, the princess gave her the task to check whether everything is prepared for the holiday. Eloise was not very satisfied with this, because she had to walk around the village and get to know the residents. But instead, she could have read so many books and learned something new! But the task needs to be completed, so the two sisters immediately went to check.
The first thing to check was the food. They were prepared by a farmer known throughout Friendville by the name of Harry Clark. Even though Nicole wanted her sister to be friends with this guy, Eloise wasn't going to stay there. However, Harry was very persistent, and they had to stay for half a day. During this time, the farmer introduced the sisters to his family, starting with his parents and ending with second cousins. Somehow, but the girls still managed to find the reason and left the farm.
Then they had to check how things were going with the games. The games were handled by Barney Jackson, a famous aristocrat. The handsome young man was quite arrogant, and the sisters left very quickly.
The next step is to check the jewelry. Two young girls were met by a beautiful lady — Chelsea Edwards. Chelsea loves fashion and sew beautiful dresses, which confirms her appearance. She is the most ordinary peasant, but because of her clothes, it seems that she is an aristocrat. The Andersons thought so at first, but they all realized when Chelsea almost forced them to try on all their dresses, so much so that Eloise did not have time to change. Chelsea said they deserve to dress beautifully. With grief in half, the girls managed to escape from the fashionista.
Next came the music check. It was prepared by Cameron Clark, Harry's younger brother and a talented musician. Harry said that his brother is very modest. When approaching his house, the girls heard a beautiful and relaxing melody coming from Cameron's house. Going into the guy's backyard, they saw how he was preparing the birds for the performance. Noticing the girls, he was a little scared, but greeted them. After making sure that everything was fine with the music, the girls went home, because it was already late.
Going home, they were met by the whole village. During all this time, while they were not at home, the residents decided to arrange a holiday in honor of the housewarming. And this whole party was organized by Ollie Beilin, the most famous organizer of the holidays. She was just in charge of sweets, which should also be present at the celebration. Nicole decided to stay and have fun, and Eloise was very angry with this behavior, and she went to bed.
In the morning, the whole village was preparing for the holiday, and soon everything was ready. All the residents gathered in the town hall. In it, Princess Sofia was supposed to go on stage and give a speech. But when Chelsea cleaned the wings, there was a man all in black behind them. That was the darkness! It turns out that exactly 30 years later she had to return and take revenge on the princess and the whole village. The darkness said that it had kidnapped the princess and put a curse on the village. Then she disappeared, leaving all the residents panicking. Eloise ran home, because to defeat the darkness, she needed Elements of Harmony. Finally, she noticed that the other six residents of Friendville were running after her. Barney immediately started asking questions, and Eloise had to tell everything.
- There are seven Elements of Harmony and only six of them are known. Eloise said. - Decency, Generosity, Loyalty, Kindness, Honesty, Laughter, but the seventh is unknown.
She said that these Elements of Harmony are in an abandoned and dilapidated castle, and he himself is in the forest! That's where the seven had to go...
When they were already walking in the forest itself, Barney decided to scare his friends. He began to tell terrible stories about the fact that those who came here never came back. Suddenly there was an earthquake. Eloise was on the edge of a cliff and was about to fall, but Harry managed to grab her by the arm. Then he decided to let her go, but the girl did not want to die. He assured her that if she let go of her hand, they would both be saved. There was sincere honesty in the guy's eyes, and the girl let go of Harry's hand. Eloise was caught by Barney. Turns out Harry wasn't lying. When everyone was found alive and well, the guys continued on their way.
But it took only a few minutes as they met a terrible monster. The boys immediately started kicking and hitting him, but then Cameron stopped them all. He walked up to the monster and took its paw. After a second, he screamed heart-rendingly, but immediately stopped and began to lick Cameron. It turns out he was angry because the animal had a splinter in its paw. Then they went on.
After a few minutes, the guys realized that they were lost. They didn't know what to do next. Suddenly, Nicole noticed a hut nearby, in which a light was burning. The guys went there. They were opened by a beautiful girl named Maria. She fed them, told them that her father was a hunter, but he died, and the house remained, so she lives here. This girl, although she was beautiful, but she loved to joke, and it didn't come out very funny. Eloise said that if she didn't stop, they would leave. Maria immediately became scared, and she apologized, but no one accepted her apologies. Everyone started to leave, but Nicole stopped them. She said that you can't do this to a person, because you need to give everyone a second chance. Everyone listened to her and stayed. Maria told me how to get to the castle. They thanked her, promising that they would visit. Maria immediately felt better, because she would not be lonely.
The guys went as Maria told them. She said that there would be a river with a creature that would help them cross this very river. But it wasn't there. This creature told the seven that some dark cloud had arrived and cut off one of his whiskers. He was so depressed, and Chelsea couldn't stand it, cutting off her hair and giving it to the creature. Her hair was replaced by one mustache. The girl herself replied to her surprised friends that new ones would grow anyway. The creature helped them cross the river, and they went on.
They went into the very depths of the forest, it was dark and foggy there. Suddenly they were surrounded by trees with scary faces, everyone was scared and started screaming. But only Ollie was funny. She stuck her tongue out at them and laughed right in their faces. Everyone was perplexed, but when Ollie laughed, the creepy face disappeared, and the tree became ordinary. The guys understood — you don't have to be afraid, but laugh! Everyone laughed to tears and when all the faces were gone, the seven went on.
They finally came, but to get inside the castle, they have to cross the bridge. Everything would be fine, but the bridge was broken and there was no way to pass. Luckily for the friends, Barney was with them. He took the torn rope and, having rolled on it, found himself on the opposite side from the guys. Now all he had to do was tie this rope. But then he saw that there was a feast going on in the abandoned castle, and everyone was calling him to himself. He gladly agreed, but remembering about his friends, he decided to finish his business. However, the crowd of feasters delivered an ultimatum: either they or his friends. Barney hesitated, but realized that friends should not be left in the lurch. Refusing the offer, Barney repaired the bridge and returned to his friends.
It turned out that the castle has two towers, and the guys went to the first tower. There they found the Elements of Harmony. They were stone balls. The boys put them on the floor and arranged them around Eloise. She told everyone to get out of the tower, and she stayed and began to recite a spell that was supposed to work on the Elements. Suddenly they shone, and the girl was already happy, but something went wrong, and an explosion occurred. The guys, hearing the sound, ran to the tower, but found no one there. Eloise herself just teleported to the second tower, and there was darkness. She took those stone balls and started laughing viciously. Eloise tried to fight, but it was all in vain. And only when the redhead heard the approaching voices of her friends, she realized one thing. Yes, these Elements of Harmony are important, but the evil force still cannot win, because the spirits of the Elements of Harmony themselves are standing right in front of her! Harry helped his friend and himself to escape without lying — he embodies the Element of Honesty. Cameron stopped the fight and helped the animal — he personifies the Element of Kindness. Nicole showed that you should not immediately judge a person, because first you need to look at him — she personifies the Element of Decency. Chelsea sacrificed her hair and helped the creature—she personifies the Element of Generosity. Ollie showed that you should always look into the eyes of your fears and laugh — she personifies the Element of Laughter. Barney gave up his most important dream to help his friends in trouble — he embodies the Element of Loyalty. But still one element remained unsolved. Eloise realized what unites them all — friendship, or rather the Magic of friendship! This was the seventh element! It was thanks to their friendship that the seven were able to defeat the darkness and destroy it forever! The princess came back and thanked the guys for saving her.
Eloise realized that in addition to books and studying, there are things in the world that are much more interesting and fun, and there are also friends! So, no need to give up, but keep going forward and not look at everything from the bad side — there are good things in the world! The end!"
- And now to sleep! - Clara said in a sleepy voice.
Clara Afton is a beautiful woman, a loving wife and a kind mother. If someone says that this is not the case, then either this person simply does not know Clara well, or he is just an idiot. She is 36 years old. She has long light red hair tied at the end in a bun with a white bow, a dark purple butterfly on her head and dark green eyes. She wears a blue star necklace, a pink off-the-shoulder blouse and a light yellow skirt with a black belt, as well as gold bracelets. Her soul is blue, which means the soul of Integrity.
Clara was born on July 11, 1980. She grew up in a fairly prosperous family. Her father worked as a detective, so sometimes Clara even called her dad Sherlock Holmes. The girl was taken to ballet school from the age of 5. She always loved ballet and was the best at school. Clara dreamed of becoming a famous ballerina and becoming famous.
She met her future husband quite by chance in a bar where she was performing. He was sitting not far away at the same table with his best friends, and when she came on stage, the guy almost choked on cognac. He stared at her, mesmerized. You could read love in his eyes. Or surprise. Or maybe all at once. After the performance, the girl went outside to breathe fresh air, as the bar smelled of alcohol mixed with sweat. And it so happened that she tripped over her own foot. And just about she would have fallen, but then someone managed to grab her. Clara looked at her rescuer. It was the same guy from the bar. A spark of love flashed in both their eyes. And here a new story began. And then, the man proposed to her. It happened in the park where they liked to go. And she agreed. Then the couple got married. They bought a two-storey house with a large yard. And then Clara gave birth to children. Now the girl works in the biggest theater of their city. Great, isn't it?
Clara likes a lot of things. Their children, husband, ballet, flowers, tea with milk, cats, fruits, vegetables. You can list it all day. But she doesn't like just a few things. Rats, cockroaches, bedbugs, spiders, because they can get into your house and bring infection. Therefore, Clara has always been pure-dense. Clara does not like smoking and alcohol, and is glad that her husband leads a healthy lifestyle.
A lot of people were surprised at how slender Clara's legs were. Some asked her what the secret was, but the girl replied that she just does a lot of ballet. That's always been her talent, right?
- But Mom, we don't want to sleep! - Chris replied in an insistent voice, spreading his little hands apart.
Christopher Afton is the second child in the Afton family. He is 6 years old. He has light brown hair, blue eyes and a dark jacket with two gray stripes. His blue soul of Integrity was inherited from his mother.
Chris was born on October 6, 2010. He has few friends, as he is shy to communicate with anyone, and he can only talk calmly with his family. Chris is very much afraid of animatronics from pizzerias. Especially Fredbear. It seemed to the boy that several people could be stuffed into his stomach. These robots are so scary and huge. The kid even had nightmares with animatronics. Only in these dreams, robots were even scarier than in reality. They had sharp teeth and were broken. In dreams, Chris always tried to escape from them and in the end always saw some kind of door. He was already a couple of centimeters from the door, when suddenly Fredbear grabbed his leg and... the boy woke up. When Elizabeth went to the toilet at night, she always heard a noise from her older brother's room. Listening, the girl realized that Chris was quietly sobbing either in his sleep or having already woken up. My sister always came in and comforted my brother, saying, "It's just a stupid dream and there's really nothing like that." Only Elizabeth knew about the dreams, because Chris did not want the family to worry about him, because he dreams of such terrible horrors.
Elizabeth gave Chris a golden teddy bear for his birthday. It was Fredbear. But this Fredbear didn't look so scary, but on the contrary, cute. Since then, the boy has not let go of the toy. He was not afraid to be near animatronics while he was holding a bear cub in his hands. When there was a plush Fredbear nearby, all fears disappeared in an instant. The boy was at peace in his soul. And even the nightmares disappeared when Chris started sleeping with Fredbear.
Sometimes when Chris is alone with Fredbear in the room, he talks to him. But only Chris hears the squeaky, baby-like voice of the bear cub. The whole family didn't understand who he was talking to at first, but when the kid explained everything, the parents and Michael thought it was just imagination and there was nothing to worry about, but Elizabeth and Naomi were interested in it. When they asked the toy something, Chris passed on Fredbear's words to his sisters.
Chris is actively interested in chess. When the boy was 4 years old, the whole family went to his grandparents on his mother's side. There the grandfather decided to play chess and taught his grandson to play. He liked it, and that's why grandpa gave him his chess. Now Chris likes to play chess with one of the family members in the evenings. Sometimes he lost, but more often he won.
Chris loves not only his family, but also cute plush toys, as they soothe and it becomes not so scary next to them. And besides animatronics, he doesn't like it when his brother scares him. This reminds him of his fear, but Fredber tells him, "Don't be afraid, he's just joking." Interesting if these jokes will go too far?
- Mom, read another fairy tale, please. - Naomi asked, making puppy dog eyes.
Naomi Afton is the third child in the Afton family. She is 5 years old. She has pale, like dad's, skin, black hair with a barely noticeable hint of dark purple, which are tied in two ponytails, light blue eyes, a light purple jacket with a blue heart, which is clearly too big for a girl and a red skirt with a bow at the back and black straps. She also has a blue soul of Integrity.
Naomi was born on June 15, 2010. She doesn't have many friends either, because no one wants to accept her into their company anymore. Sometimes Naomi gets sad because of this, but her sister and brothers always support her.
In fact, Naomi is not the natural daughter of William and Clara. William had a cousin, whose existence he found out after her death. In fact, William's mom and her sister had a bad relationship, so they did not communicate, and this fact was not surprising. So, this cousin had a daughter named Naomi, but fate has its own plans for life. She died together with her husband in a car accident when the girl was 3 years old. Naomi was in shock. She couldn't believe what had happened. When William's mother found out about the death of her sister, she immediately offered her son to take the orphan to her. As you guessed, William did just that. At first, the girl was uncomfortable in her new family, and she missed her parents, but Elizabeth, Chris and Michael accepted her as a sister and supported her in every possible way. As the years passed, Naomi was able to accept her new family. Now the Aftons officially consider her their own daughter.
Naomi is very kind and always ready to help. If someone is in trouble, someone needs someone's help, then the girl will always come running to save. She will forgive anyone for everything, no matter who they are and what terrible sins they have committed. Naomi always believed that everyone should be given a second chance.
Naomi has a favorite animatronic. This is Bonnie. This purple-colored hare has dark coral eyes, a glossy red bow tie and a stylized red and white electric guitar. Naomi likes him not only for his purple color, but also because he plays the guitar. Like her.
One day dad climbed into the attic, sorting things out there, and came across a wooden guitar that his mom gave him. For fun, the family decided to let everyone try to play the guitar. Naturally, no one managed to play anything on it. And Naomi did it. She didn't even have time to pick up the guitar, as she began to play some melody on it. Everyone was in shock, as was Naomi herself. It became clear what kind of talent the girl has. Therefore, they decided not to throw away the guitar, but to leave it. The parents even tried to send their daughter to music school, but Naomi flatly refused. Every day she gets to play better and better.
Naomi loves purple, bunnies, guitars and much more. But she does not like loneliness. She does not like to be alone and feel unnecessary. But the family always supports her, and the girl gets better. She'll never be alone, right?
- Can it be enough already? - Michael asked, preparing to go to his room.
Michael Afton is the first child in the Afton family. He is 15 years old. He has light skin, dark brown hair, blue eyes and a gray T-shirt. He has a purple soul of Perseverance.
Michael was born on November 27, 2001. He recently moved to grade 9, but it wasn't his last year at school. Michael is a very smart and capable child and already in the 1st grade decided that he would study until the 11th grade. The guy is friends with all his classmates, except bullies. And especially he is friends with his four best friends. These are Mark, Frederick, Simon and Nina. They haven't been separated since grade 1. Friends you can rely on and trust.
Michael dreams of becoming a mechanic. He has been dreaming since childhood. When my father first started creating animatronics, six-year-old Michael became interested in it. My father allowed me to sit next to him and watch him do it. And the most amazing thing about it is that the boy understood everything! Where you need to insert this gear, why you need this part... If dad could do something wrong, then the kid always told him about it. William decided to take Michael as an assistant, and he brought him parts and tools. That's why Michael also wanted to become a mechanic.
Michael found his younger brother's fears and nightmares silly and ridiculous. Sometimes he could hide under the bed or behind the door and suddenly jump out. Of course, Chris is scared and angry at his brother. However, Michael apologizes and buys ice cream for Chris.
Often kids can break toys. And there are two mechanics in the house. Therefore, children turn either to dad or to Michael. Of course, none of them refuses. Michael never refused, because that way he could train and develop his skills and abilities. And he did it. Once, when nothing broke for a long time, Michael wanted to break the toys on purpose, unnoticed. But he didn't. After all, it's better when you don't know where something is broken, where to insert the parts and how to fix it all. The guy turns to his dad for tools, and he gives it to him. After all, the son does a good deed. Interesting if this will always continue?
- That's all, children, go to bed! - William said sternly, looking at the time on the grandfather clock, which he liked very much when buying furniture.
William Afton is the father of this whole big family. He is 37 years old. He has pale skin, dark hair with a barely noticeable dark purple shade, which is tied in a ponytail with a red elastic band, light blue eyes. He usually wears his purple uniform or some kind of purple clothes. He has a rare red soul, a soul of Determination.
William was born on December 2, 1979. He grew up in a poor family. Dad was constantly drinking and losing at the casino, and mom worked two jobs from morning till late at night. Soon the parents divorced. But it didn't get any better. Mom and William had to move into a one-room rented apartment. It wasn't until William turned 17 that things started to get better. They bought a two-room apartment, and mom started working as a waitress in a popular restaurant. William decided that he and his wife and children would live much better.
William doesn't regret going to that bar then. On this day, he quarreled with his girlfriend, because she did not love him, but simply pulled all the money out of him. William, out of anger and a sense of betrayal, went to this bar and immediately met his true love. A miracle, isn't it? When Clara came on stage, he fell in love with her at first sight. The guy wanted to get to know her, and after the performance he went to look for her. He found her on the street and managed to save her.
William loves purple. He has loved him since childhood. This color is his… Calms me down. And he also likes Spring Bonnie. This is a golden rabbit with a purple bow and green eyes. Sometimes William wore this costume and amused the children, as the endoskeleton could break. But he likes this job.
In fact, Clara and William planned two children, but it turned out to be three, and then a fourth was added. "But we will have a lot of grandchildren!" — joked the father. A man in general has always loved children and hated people who hurt them. He believed that such people should be punished. He would never hurt the kids. Is he really that nice and kind?
- Okay, dad... - Elizabeth answered in a sad voice, who was already preparing to listen to the next fairy tale.
Elizabeth Afton is the youngest child in the Afton family. She has pale skin, bright green eyes and long red hair, in which a red bow is woven, tying a ponytail. She is wearing a dark purple blouse with white double sleeves and a blue skirt with straps and a pocket. She, like Dad, has a red soul of Determination.
Elizabeth was born on January 10, 2012. She is 4 years old, but she is a very smart and intelligent girl. She has very few friends, because they think she's a fool, because sometimes she talks like an adult and they don't understand her. But is she a fool? No, and she knew that very well. She said that those children are still babies, and they are stupid. Of course, she did not tell them this directly to their faces, but told everything to her sister and brothers, and they, in turn, supported her.
Unlike Naomi, Elizabeth didn't have any favorite animatronics in the pizzeria. Something was simply not enough for them to get into Elizabeth's favorites, and she herself did not know that she was not attracted to them. But the girl just adored striped sweatshirts. She had a lot of them, and they were all different, ranging from blue with two bright pink stripes and ending with green with one yellow stripe. And her mother gave her a pink blouse on March 8. And even though it's not striped, the baby liked this blouse.
Elizabeth now always goes out not alone, and there are reasons for this. And the reason was one case. Elizabeth disappeared for a month. The police were looking for her, but couldn't find her. She went for a walk to the playground, but never returned. One boy said he saw her swinging on a swing, and then jumped off them as if scalded, and ran to Mount Abbott. And everything. Everyone guessed that she had fallen into the mountain, but no one dared to jump there after her. A month has passed since her disappearance. And she was found. The police officer, who continued to search for the girl, found her unconscious in the bushes, not far from the mountain. When Elizabeth regained consciousness, she said that she did not remember what had happened during the whole month. Everyone thought that she had been deliberately intimidated into lying, but the missing woman swore that she really did not remember anything. Since then, everything has improved, but the girl was forbidden to go out alone. Sometimes Elizabeth tries to remember what happened to her, but all attempts are in vain. However, she does not give up. Elizabeth is always determined.
Here four-year-old Elizabeth twitches strangely and turns her head sharply to the window.
- Elizabeth, what are you doing? - Chris asks her.
- Did you see a ghost? - William chuckled, getting up from the sofa.
- I thought we were being watched. It seemed, apparently...
- It's just that children are already asleep at such a time, and they are not tormented by hallucinations. - Michael grinned.
The family concluded: it's time to sleep. Clara put the book on the shelf, and everyone went to the second floor. Yes, they did not have such a habit as brushing their teeth before going to bed. After wishing each other a good night, the family went to their rooms and the house was plunged into silence, and its owners went to the kingdom of Morpheus. Tomorrow will be a new day.
