New Music
Working at the Pizzaplex, you’ve grown close to the animatronics. Sure, Roxy would give you shit but you’ve learned that it was how she shows affection. Being in maintenance for most of your life, you appreciated the artwork that machines have. Plus, switching from a more stressful career of aircraft maintenance, you appreciated the low pressure of the job.
Working nights, you were able to do any type of work and able to go anywhere you needed. Going to DJMM’s dance floor to switch fuses in the breaker, DJMM acknowledged you with a small wave. Knowing you also like to listen to music as you work, he respects your need for privacy.
Playing your music loud, you go up to the breaker. The song “Get Low” started to play and you just can’t help but dance a bit as you work. It soothes you and makes the work more fun. Watching you curiously, DJMM wondered what song you were listening to.
As you got done with the breaker, you were about to leave for another area of the west arcade. He waved you over in a respectful manner. You pulled out your earbuds as you paused your music.
“Hey Deej, what’s up?” you looked up at him with a smile. “How’s your club doing?”
He appreciated the fact that you always made an effort to check up on all of them in any way you can.
“It’s going great, Thank you Y/N!.” He paused. “What song was that playing?”
You blushed a bit out of embarrassment. You’ve always played your music on full volume. You’ve known that people can hear it when you’re standing close. However, you didn’t realize how good the hearing is from the machines.
“It doesn’t sound like anything Fazbear entertainment has for us to play.” He spoke up again to put you more at ease. “It sounds… Fresh, boppin.”
“Y’all never really heard any other type of music. Have you?” You turned to think. Then you snapped your fingers for an idea. “How about we get the others here and we can dance to the songs I have?”
DJMM got excited about that. “Ahh hell yea. Let’s turn it up!”
You walk back into the west arcade a few 30 minutes later. Give or take. Roxy was giving you shit as well as Monty.
“I think it’s a great idea! It would be very good for us to have fun, but I think it would go against Fazbear Entertainment protocols.” Freddy glanced around nervously. “Plus, I really am not comfortable going to the west arcade dance floor due to my glitch of not being able to stop dancing.”
“It sounds stupid.” Roxy smiled sarcastically. “I bet it would just be remixes of Fazbear songs.”
You looked at Roxy. “Ya know what also sounds stupid?”
“Your mom?” Monty cut in. you can’t help but have a genuine laugh from that comment.
“Not just that, but also Roxy’s face.” You can’t help but to also give shit back to them. Afterall, you all know it’s in good fun.
Roxy gave you a mock hurt look. “Oh, come on Y/N, my fans adore me. I bet you don’t have any fans.”
“Ouch.” Chica whispered.
“Oh, come on guys. It can’t be as bad as Fazbear songs. Besides.” You paused, also thinking of what to say to Freddy. “As for your glitch, Fredster, the place is closed tomorrow so there isn’t any need to worry. We can have as much fun as we want. The only way we stop is if there is too much damage or...” The others look at you.
“There’s an “Or”? My dude, yer still goin?” Monty interrupted, not really liking that it sounds like you’re about to make them follow some rules.
“Or.” You continued, not really giving Monty the reaction he wants. You found that he’s very good at getting a rise out of others. However, you want this to be a night for everyone to remember. “Or we all drop from exhaustion.”
“That does not sound safe”. Freddy warned, holding up one animatronic finger. “Dropping is very dangerous.”
You laugh at the bear’s personality, how he takes things literally and doesn’t understand the expression.
“It’s an expression, Freddy. It means we can have fun till we get tired, and we just shut down, either where we stand or lay.”
“Sounds like fun! Will there be pizza?” Chica spoke up in an excited, high pitch tone.
“Girl, of course there’d be pizza. However, not from the trash. I have STAFF bots making fresh stuff for us.” You answered the chicken. You didn’t really look forward to cleaning her later but she deserves a night like this.
Opening the arcade doors, DJMM waved at everyone. “Good timing party people. The night is gonna be sick!”
Freddy was about to say something once again when you elbowed the bear and whispered “Expression.”
“Let’s get it popping with some warm up songs to get started, Yea!” DJMM shouted as he started a few songs to start with. Sure, it was Fazbear songs but they still had a great enough beat to dance to.
Across the facility, Sun heard the music being played. “Ahh. DJ music man is playing at this hour?” He said to himself and laughed. “Let’s see what they’re up to.” He sprung up to the nearest vent and crawled through.
Seeing the animatronics having fun, you smiled. Roxy and Chica dancing together, Freddy just being Freddy but also doing some great moves. Monty? He’s just bobbing and swaying to the beat, but you know he’s having fun.
Through the vents for the dance floor, sun laughed. ‘Ahh they’re having a dance party?! I love dance parties!’ He thought to himself as he crawled out and onto one of the risers of the stage.
After sometime, DJMM waved you over. “Here’s your time to shine!”
You walked up to his studio as the music is still playing. You took out your phone and set it to the playlist you’ve created, knowing the others would love it. “Start with this one.” You pointed as DJMM nodded.
As the current Fazbear song stopped, DJMM spoke up in a booming voice “How are you party people doing?!” He got cheers as a response. “Y/N has a new playlist for us, its about to get hot!”
He played the song you pointed to. The familiar beat of it rang through your ears. The others look shocked yet excited because its new, nothing they have ever heard before.
“3, 6, 9. Damn she fine” the song started. As Freddy is still dancing, he spoke up. “This is not family appropriate!”
“Well good thing it’s just us!” You smiled as you danced.
Roxy and Chica are dancing differently. Not as family appropriate as before.
“Ahh skeet skeet mothafucka!”
“This song is definitely not family appropriate!” Freddy looked at you with worry.
“Oh, stop it. You deserve to have some fun!” You reminded the bear.
“Ahh yeah! The beat is dropping! So fresh!” DJMM is really getting into being a DJ, having a new song to play. “You’ve inspired me, Y/N!”
Not having access to the internet, you realized that they probably picked up a few things from watching other party goers. You didn’t mind if they weren’t as family appropriate. Seeing Chica grinding against Roxy and them two dancing to the beat, you can see they’re having pure fun. Monty is getting into the songs. Pumping his fist and thrusting his hips to the beat.
More songs pass, more complaints from Freddy being that “they were not family appropriate” and just having fun. Sun, who was still watching, decided that he also wanted in on the fun and jumped and somersaulted onto the dance floor.
Being startled, you jumped back a bit and fell on your butt. He stood over you and extended his hand to you. You grabbed Sun’s hand and he rose you to your feet. Sure, he’s lanky but he still has a good sense of rhythm. Then, Sun starts to do some suggestive dance moves as well. Its been a while since they all had fun.
Dancing with everyone, you see them being more comfortable and relaxed as more songs play. At least Freddy got used to the fact that there isn’t anything he can do but dance. The STAFF bots brought the pizza, but Chica jumped them before giving the poor things a chance to get away. You just can’t help but laugh wholeheartedly. Sure, it was more work to deal with, but this was their night.
As the night goes on, you all decided to have more fun. The last song died but you allowed DJMM to keep playing. “Here Deej, this one is yours.” You smiled as you sent him the playlist you originally chose. “Feel free to add anything that is not Fazbear Entertainment for more nights like this!”
You all explore the Pizzaplex as DJMM is still playing the new music that you gave him through the facility speakers. Seeing what other kinds of trouble you can get into. Although, you had to get Monty to carry Freddy off the floor because everyone wanted to do other things.
As the night wears on everyone played the games in the arcade, went racing, and gotten beat at Fazerblast (nice way of putting it) but you’re still having so much fun. Plus, you can tell the others are having fun as well. Knowing they’re just cramped up in their rooms, not really allowed to do anything fun other than to go to their sections of the building.
“Hey Y/N?” Monty pulled you to the side from the group. He looked at you with a soft smirk. Keeping his voice low so the others can’t hear him. “I can’t sound like I’m getting soft but thank you.”
You smiled, knowing thanks from the gator are very few and far between. “Don’t worry about it big guy.” You playfully patted his face. “Besides, it was fun kicking your ass in most of the games.”
Morning crept up sooner than you expected. As the group made their way to the main atrium, you looked outside and saw daylight.
“Oh shit, what time is it?” you looked at your phone. 0830. You looked up and wondered how much damage you all have caused. Sure, the plex was closed today and none of the other workers would come in, it was still more work for you to do. However, you didn’t feel bad for the extra work that was in store for you. They all deserved to have fun. You get to work on fixing up the place before you decide to crash on one of the animatronics couches.
