Work Text:
'Welcome to Superstar Daycare! Tonight you will be tasked with surviving the night against our best guard!’ The overhead voice spoke loudly, echoing all around the huge dark building.
I'd barely gotten through the Endos!
Wait-
SURVIVE?!
“This thing can kill me and that's it?” I bark, lifting my head upwards to look around the darkened space above me.
‘Signing the waiver means indeed this is it~’ The voice spoke up again, far more chipper than he needed to be for such a startling find on my part!
‘Choose to back out now and I'll allow Moondrop free reign in how he wishes to dispose of you!’
“Moooondrop?” I ask, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders.
That did NOT sound scary!
What did this ‘Moondrop’ look like with a name like that!?
All I got in answer to the sarcastic wording of the name was a dark chuckle from the voice overhead.
‘If you face him, if you survive him, you come out a new member of the Fazbear Entertainment family~ Head night guard of the Pizzaplex!’
“I don't have much of a choice now that the doors are closed, now do I!?” I bite back and hear a snarky, ‘Correct~’
“Alright, do I fight this Mooooondrop hand to hand or something!?” I ask sharply, peering into the darkness beyond and see only fuzzy inky blackness for miles.
Around me were little stars all lit in a soft yellow glow, a moon hung below a castle dead center on the back wall before me.
It looked like the castle lead further back inside the wall!
I could deal with this, I'd get acclimated in time-
As if to solidify my mistake in taking this offer and believing that I could do this, the power is completely cut in this area of the Plex and the voice announces the rules like a game show host:
‘The rules are simple:
Use the torch to look for Moondrop, but use it sparingly /for Fazbear Entertainment tends to have the shittest batteries known to man and monkey/
Charge it when you feel the need to and at your own risk /The desk is NOT a Place to camp out/
Listen out for sounds that could indicate Moondrops arrival and impending jumpscare
And remember:
There won't be any second chances if he catches you
Be warned
You're in HIS house now!’
“Wait- Hold on!” I bark within the now pitch darkness around me.
I back up back towards the doorway out and catch myself, slow my thoughts.
‘The Endos made a sound and if I remember correctly, dipshit said I had a torch to use-
There!
On the wall!’
I slip sideways along the wall until I reach the Freddy head charger where indeed a freshly charged torch sat waiting for me.
Yanking it from its spot, I turn it on and flash its bright beam around myself then further into the surrounding darkness.
Same old Daycare as before, just darker!
I listen closely, closing my eyes even. What use were they to me in this mess?
With sight gone, I began to hear, smell, and feel things better.
I heard that funny fuzzy noise you encounter when in a dark quiet place. I'd hear a disturbance a mile away.
I smelt plastic toys, rubber mats. I'm sure if this MOONDROP watched kids, it would smell funny and thus I'd catch it before it was too late.
Then I felt the floor, how smooshy it was beneath my shoe. I'd have a difficult time hearing footsteps and noises that normally ricocheted off and around upon normal flooring because of this.
But this was the only problem I had thus far.
I think I would be fine~
I nod and slowly step further out, leaving the safety of the doors as I knew if I stood there, the game would be over and I'd be the loser!
Well, Moooondrop had another thing coming cause I didn't come here to LOSE!
-
The predator had been alerted to the intruder well before she stepped foot into his territory.
He'd heard her!
Smelt her!
Then saw her!
He tasted her fear and uncertainty and it made him grin wickedly.
A new toy to play with~
How nice!
He shifted away from the slumbering form tucked in beside him and quietly slipped out of the loft where the castle hung just above the once lit moon and stars.
Looking out upon his dark kingdom, the predator caught the intruder's heat signature and clicked his teeth pleasantly.
A worthy opponent, walking into his domain so boldly!
With a gravelly giggle, Moondrop threw himself off the balcony overlooking the Daycare and ‘flew’ through the air on his wire, unheard and unseen by the living body below.
Ready to play a good rousing game of cat and mouse~
-
‘Why the hell do they have generators in the play structures!?’ I think privately to myself as I scale one structure and use its higher vantage point to listen.
I strained my ears but only heard the fuzzy darkness around me.
I chance my torch and flick it on to gaze out into the world beyond.
Same old Daycare still!
Still dark, still eerily quiet!
Yet I felt like I was being watched.
By what, I wasn't sure-
Maybe by my to-be employers, maybe by that annoying voice, or maybe-
HIM!?
I flick the light towards where I felt the most fearful, the most watched and found nothing to ease my mind.
Everyone knew what Endos looked like, but who knew what a ‘Moondrop’ looked like but the owners of this place?
If it was stationed in a Daycare, surely it couldn't be as bad as the voice made him out to be!
What if it wasn't even a thing? All just hyped up to scare potential workers?
I go with that option and smirk, arms stretched out wide and call out boldly, “Heeeey, Moonman! If you're realllly here, come and show me~”
I'm sent off like a startled rabbit when something lethal and light lands behind me on the structure and a voice hisses so disturbingly close to my right ear, “Goooood night~”
I'm not aware of what I'm doing, my fight or flight just GOES and I'm sent falling forward off the structure and right into the padded floor below.
I'm not sure if I hit something as I fell, I just know I was out cold at some point. Maybe due to my fear or even simply landing how I did.
All I knew in that split second was that I was out cold!
Out cold and left at the mercy of, HIM!
-
“Moony?” The body once asleep, tucked in beside the predator stirred at the call outside the loft.
When his partner was not found, the second entity shifted out of their bed and hurried towards the balcony where Moondrop had once surveyed his lands.
Unlike Moon, this other could not see like him and instead tried to spy red amistad the darkness below.
Sure enough, he saw two red orbs bobbing and dancing around something by a play structure.
With a gasp and a panic, the sunny other raced out of the loft, down the theater stairs, and sprinted towards the Daycare hoping-
He was there in time to stop this game from ending how it had ended the last two times!
-
“Moooon!” The voice of his partner called and drug Moon out of his blood thirsty mode.
He clicked his teeth and blinked at the still body before him.
It hadn't been her who called him, surely not!
That was Sunny's sweet voice!
“Mooon wait!”
Moon tilted his head one way, then the other, then did a complete 180 before he turned his whole self towards the sound of the new voice and chittered happily towards it, “Sunflower~”
He'd get to show Sunny how safe he was now that he was living with him in the Daycare! How safe the kids were now that he guarded them during naptime!
“Moon, please.. Wait..” Sun panted as he got to the small group.
“Wait.. Don't… Phew-”
Moon circled the sunny themed other and rubbed himself all over his partner's warm sweet smelling body.
Like a cat, Moon purred deeply, nuzzled under the sunny others chin, and almost mewed, “Your just in time~”
“Moon, please don't hurt the human..” Sun cut in quickly, knowing that when the power was completely cut out, a ‘game' was to be played in the Daycare-
A game that ended in his Moondrops bloody victory over a foolish human!
“Sun…Flower?” Moon asked, clicking his teeth slightly then twitched his right hands fingers.
“Can't you see what they're doing, Moony!?”
Sun noticed the dark change in his Moondrop when the power died out.
Noticed how strange, how.. Predatory he got!
Sure he wasn't programmed to watch kids in the first place but still-
He'd gotten better! He'd learned sooo much since being with him!
“Moony… Please….” Sun whispered and looked at his moon themed partner with pleading eyes, hands clasped before him, almost begging.
‘Vanessa!?’ The voice called out, startling Sun and reminding Moon of what he'd been tasked to do.
There was an intruder in his midst, and now, here it lay there before SUNNY of all things!
Yet here was his Sunflower, begging for him not to kill it! This intruder, this naughty human Who stepped into THEIR home!
‘Vanessa!?’ The voice called again followed by the Daycare music starting up, lights turning on everywhere around them Following right behind.
Seeing Sunny's face in the light, Moon saw he was legitimately about to cry over this worthless carcass and chose then and there before the Voice could come in himself to change the game entirely on what it was he was going to do.
With a strong set of arms and jaws, Moon lifted the out cold body up and nodded for Sun to lead them to the opposite direction of the Daycare doors.
If Sunny wanted this human alive, he'd keep this human alive for Sunny!
-
There is nothing on the cameras.
No hide or tail of either Moondrop or Vanessa!
This wasn't good-
Moondrop had been designed to dispense a body swiftly, mess free! Yet during these ‘games’ he was allowed to go nuts! Allowed to destroy the body as he pleased!
A kind of peace treaty, you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours!
Keep this place safe, work tirelessly and be gifted undesired humans as a result of a job well done!
So where the hell was the body!?
Where was Moon!?
The loft?
No-
He wouldn't willingly show off a body to his ‘partner'!
That soft hearted coward!
Ruining his creation with his sweeetness, his innnnocence!
Maybe listening to HER wasn't the best move after all-
They were a sun and moon duo Sure, but-
One was programmed to tend to kids, sing songs, read books!
Whilst the other-
Was programmed as a monster, a killer, a product of genetic engineering that should never tire of keeping his places safe from outsiders!
Should never question his makers!
“Come back!” A new voice called out, a soft voice, HER voice to which caused the Voice from before to slink away like a kicked puppy, back outside the Daycare and off to their side-
One of the two would have to show up at some point!
He'd just have to wait!
-
I came back around two hours later to find myself lying in a ‘bed’ of blankets with stuffed Freddy's and such all around me.
I touch my head and whimper at the sore spot I feel then let my hand drop back down and look around my foggy new surroundings.
Had I been spared?
Was that allowed?
Where was I?
The music?
The light?
A….. Sun?
“Oh good, you're awake~” The sun says in such a happy manner as he sees my eyes focus and remain locked upon him.
“Damnit-” A dark voice hissed from somewhere further back where I can not see, but the sunny other smiles wide and returns, “Aww Moony~”
Moony?
“Mo…ondrop?” I ask and the sunny other beams.
“Ya! Hey, Moony, she's asking about you~”
If the sun was this bright and happy go lucky fella, the moon themed other was-
Demonic by all sense of the word!
He didn't even stand on his back two legs! Just walked like a chimp over towards me and the sunman.
Where I remained laying, I spied claws on his fingers and toes along with fangs glinting in his closed, smirked mouth.
But the eyes were the kicker-
Dark, void of light, as if anything good had been sucked out of them and replaced with a soulless husk!
“Hello, new friend~ I'm Sunnydrop!” The sunny one greets and smiles.
“You can just call me, Sun~”
“And thiiiis, is Moondrop~” Sun announced, placing a hand upon the moon themed others shoulder.
I witnessed a complete 180 shift in those cold dead eyes just at this simple touch!
No longer did they harbor death and hatred but love and devotion as they slid into looking at the master of the hand which touched him.
“Sunflower~” That gravelly voice actually purred and pushed himself into Sun much like a huge cat did to its owner.
“I'm glad you cried out when you did!” Sun began again all whilst Moon purred and rested along his partners side with an at eased face.
“I… Cried out?” I ask and Sun nods.
“Seems you fell when Moony landed behind you!”
“Too bad it didn't kill her~” Moon hissed before snorting when Sun huffed back at him for this statement.
“Come on, Sunflower~ I need to protect the Daycare, do I not?!” Moon asked calmly and smiled as Sun gave him a stern, “Yes but also no! Not like that!”
This cocky bitch just smiled at the sunny other as he went off about prior ‘games’ and their losers and what became of them, what became of HIM when they were played!
I sit up slowly and watch the two a moment more before asking pointedly, “You saved me then?”
Sun looked my way, smiled even with his eyes, and replied kindly, “Of course! It's not like you wanted to come into the Daycare, right!?”
I wasn't sure how to answer that actually.
I HAD signed papers about these things-
Moon seemed to feel my uncertainty and grinned wickedly at me, eyes burning once more into smoldering empty voids, “She hasn't answered! She chose this! She intruded on our home! She must be punished!”
“Hey, hey, wait!” I panic and hold my hands up before me, as if they'd stop THAT thing!
“I wanted to be a night guard- I didn't know it required THIS! I signed papers giving them rights to my things-” That sounded sooo sketchy now that I spoke it out loud.
“Every…thing..”
“Oo.. Ma'am.. I'm so sorry-” Sun whispers and reaches for my shoulder now.
I flinch back and stare deeply at him, searching, yet find actual sorrow in his golden eyes.
He's holding his hands now, unsure as to whether to touch my shoulder or not whilst Moon chatters his fangs dismissively, “Should have read the small print, Missy!”
“I had nothing to lose!” I bite back without meaning to.
It was true!
I had NOTHING to my name!
I wasn't going to be missed by anyone, I didn't own anything-
“They caught you-” Sun whispered sadly and I began to tear up.
What the HELL!?
What WAS this!?
I came thinking I'd get a job, build a life, BE someone!
Everyone wanted to work for Fazbear Entertainment and here I was, told to come in, told to sign a few unimportant papers, to train as all their employees do!
First hand!
“Moony…” Sun whispered sadly back towards Moon yet I didn't hear their spoken conversation.
I break down, hold my knees close, and weep.
I was as good as dead when I stepped through those doors!
And no one would ever have known!
-
Moon had handled intruders long before he met Sunny.
It was his first job!
Remove unwanted pests by any means!
He was tasked with training the Endos how to do the same thing!
One day even, to replace the human workers!
Up until-
He met Sunny~
Then-
Looking towards the crying human then back at Sunny, Moon growled low and flexed his claws slowly.
“Fiiiine!”
“Moony!?”
“Better be sure she listens and obeys or I won't hesitate to train her like I once trained the Endos!” Moon warned as Sun jumped up and down slightly and clapped happily.
“You won't be sorry, Moonbeam~” Sun gushed as he hugged his partner tightly.
Within the hug, Moon lowered his chin to Sun's shoulder and pressed them closer together in this way, sighing softly as their warmth and scent reenergized him and brought him back from that strange place deep within his head.
He was more aware of the human now in their loft and what this now posed for the lot of them and he said it straight out as he pulled out of their hug, “What of her!?”
Vanessa looked startled, as if awakening herself once being addressed then looked also to Sun as Moon was for an answer.
He was never short of a creative idea~
-
“Hey'a, what happens if I'm still alive!?” An unwanted voice chirped up as the Daycare's large clock hit five am on the dot, a signal that Suuuunnydrop was to emerge from the hole in the wall to open the Daycare.
I look up slooowly and grimace as Vanessa's form sits proudly upon the loft, smiling all proud and shit like she's won!
Technically she HAD but still-
“Vanessa! My goodness I didn't expect that!” I call back then watch as SUNFLOWER peaks out from behind her and waves to me before stretching and greeting the new day with a gleeful, ‘hoho!’
“Where's Moon!?” I ask with a bite to my words and the cretan himself slips out from behind her and Sun looking tired, looking like himself after his buzz had been met.
Yet, Vanessa wasn't DEAD!!
What killed his BUZZ!?
“Seems no one's tried just going up to the loft~” Vanessa comments smugly to which I feel a twitch coming on as it dawns on me what had transpired.
She got to Sun before Moon could catch her, that HAD to be it!
That fucking ball of autistic hot air and innocence!
“Smart, very smart~” I say ‘proudly’ then flinch as a voice comes over the speaker in my headset, “Now, gift her her badge and licences, Mr. Scotty Wool~”
No-
She couldn't have beaten Moon!
NOTHING could beat Moon!
Yet-
Something HAD! Well before her arrival even!
And he ‘shone’ like the ‘sun' he was named after as the lights signaled ‘morning's and marked the arrival of the kids he loved and watched so tentatively.
HE'D beaten Moon!
My finest creation!
Destroyed by simple acts of ‘kindness’ and ‘looooove’!
He wasn't MADE for those things, he was made to dispatch and remove threats!
And yet-
Vanessa smiled at Sun who took a swan dive into the ball pit below the loft then looked to Moon who watched his ‘SUNFLOWER’ rush to get things ready on the ground.
Those once predatory eyes shown with happiness and AFFECTION!
That smile, once wicked and twisted, now shown with calm peace and true blue ease!
“Mr. Scotty Wool~” HER voice sings gently to me, reminding me that I was still standing there looking upon the second person to beat Moon as she enjoyed the view from her perch above the Daycare.
I grit my teeth, pull in all my hatred and malice for Sun and Vanessa for what they'd managed to do and break out in the fakest praise I could muster up, “Vanessa, amazing job, come on down here and get your badge~ You have a lot to do before your first shift tonight!”
She got up from her place beside Moon who lazed around and vanished within the loft behind them.
I eye Moon with dark distaste yet he, as always, yawned with indifference, scratched himself lightly, then flopped down for a well deserved nap.
He feared no one-
Sept-
Sunny!
Hmm~
I could use that one day, use Sunny against him!
I'm certain his ‘wittle Sunfwower’ wouldn't be so keen on laying beside a KILLER if he learned that's how he came to be doing so!
So what if Vanessa lived~
I had a new idea, one I was positive would get me my creation BACK under my control~
Until then-
“Welcome to your new job here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzaplex, Officer Vanessa~”
