Chapter Text
Sundrop was a very energetic animatronic.
Maybe it was their programming or maybe it was just their advanced AI, they didn’t like making existential questions.
Strangely they weren’t comfortable walking around the Pizzaplex, all their optimism seemed to fade away, it always felt like it didn’t belong there.
Not now I have a mission I have to save my friends!!!
…could they even be considered their friends? Yes of course they did, after all, they were all the same ‘species’, same processor, same CPU, the only real difference was in the coding.
Yet they barely talked to each other, and none of them ever visited them and its brother.
No stop thinking about it they need your help now!
They have been searching around for a while now, yes he had found some endoskeletons out of their place, they were supposed to stay hidden in storage rooms or basement to not scare the kids in daytime, but it still hasn’t found the band.
They started fidgeting with the bells of its dress, it wasn’t good for sundrop to keep still too much, that’s why they enjoyed working with kids! It was so much fun!
Footsteps made them snap out of their line of thought.
The robot's first instinct was to hide away, but why would they do that, they were searching for the others after all, even if they didn't have planned anything in case they were hacked, they just hoped something would come to mind.
So they carefully approached the source of the sound, paying mind to be extra-silent, even if it was incredibly difficult with its dressing, they wouldn’t want to risk getting attacked.
He approached the corner of the dark corridor and slowly made their head poke out, just to be flashed by the light of a flashlight.

Vanessa hated working there.
She hated animatronics.
Kids were always so noisy, that’s why she moved to the night shift.
But maybe this was even worse.
She has seen a kid enter the pizzaplex right before closing time, with no parents or caretakers.
Why did this have to be so difficult, she just wanted to rest and let those dumb cleaning robots do their job, but nooo she just had to check the entire place for a kid.
Great.
This is going to be a long night, isn’t it. She groaned resigning herself to the idea that she will be roaming during all of her shift.
This night was especially awful, first monty obliterated his room and when she tried to call maintenance nobody answered.
Then she has found chica outside her room eating from a trashcan, which means she will be responsible for her cleaning.
And last, she found Freddy outside his room which was supposed to be on lockdown but he somehow managed to escape.
And she still hasn’t found that damn kid after nearly 2 hours of search. This couldn’t possibly get worse.
…
“Oh are you fucking kidding me”
Vanessa growled flashing her flashlight at sundrop.
“LANGUAGE!” The animatronic spoke in a voice a bit too loud much to vanessa’s dislike.
“What the hell are you doing outside the daycare.”
“I uh-”
Sundrop looked like a child caught on stealing candies.
“I heard some of my friends have gone a little crazy so I decided to see if I could help!” that technically wasn’t a lie, their system didn’t handle well lies, they usually started overheating, it was probably for security measures.
“Uh-huh, and where did you hear that from.”
Now that was a problem, they couldn’t just say a kid was hiding in the daycare after closing time, it would be against the rules and sundrop didn’t want to get in trouble, like last time, but that is another story.
“You see, voices run fast as they say!” the robot tried to make the most sincere smile they could manage.
“You shouldn’t be outside your area, seriously you animatronics are impossible to handle tonight.”
She glared at the machine and then sighed, pinching her nose in exhaustion.
“You know what do whatever you want, I don't have time for you I need to find a lost kid, immediately refer to me in case you see him first.”
“Will do if i see one right in this moment!” they tried to rearrange it’s words to not lie.
Vanessa spared one last glare at the animatronic and turned to the opposite side, making sun breath in relief, not that they could breathe if not metaphorically, and continued their path.
But then again they heard more footsteps
Has the officer forgotten something? they thought reaching the sound source.
But instead of Vanessa, sundrop saw a human wearing a bunny costume.
That’s the last thing they have seen before being knocked out.
