That scary emo band just arrived at a restaurant in Utah—they were so fatigued that they decided to go there. It’s a simple building with a checkered pattern painted on half of the wall at the bottom, with a large sign above the door that says “Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza”. People say that Freddy restaurant is uncanny and the vibes are unusual, even though there were super cool animatronics to entertain children—some might say children have gone missing because of that.
They arrive at the restaurant at noon, Mikey’s the first to get out of the car while holding a camcorder, “this is gonna be so fun, dude!” He exclaims with excitement. Gerard glances at his brother, the glance that shouts don’t do anything stupid, but it’s up to you anyway, still, don’t do anything stupid.
At the same time, Ray is trying to wake Frank up from his slumber, he was sleeping through the road, “wake your ass up, we’re here!” Ray says while he nudges Frank’s shoulder. He slowly wakes up from his golden slumber, blinking many times before he sits up and groans, "We're here already? Where’s Gerard and everyone?” Frank asks whilst looking around inside the car, he sees Gerard and Mikey through the front window. He quickly packs his stuff, slipping through his shoes and steps aside from Ray.
“Woah.. i didn’t know this restaurant was huge..” Mikey claims as he holds the camcorder and directs it to the building. He’s so excited that he even forgets to bring his own flashlight, he left it in the car and his mind is already somewhere around the restaurant.
“Shush, Mikey,” Gerard walks past him while holding a flashlight, he rushes to the building.
“You don’t need to be in such a hurry, in fact, I feel some negative energy around here..” Mikey smiles wide stupidly, he’s almost giggling.
“Stop with your stupid ghost thing,” Gerard replies to Mikey as he suddenly feels a cold air caressing him that sends a shiver down his spine, “uh, well…”
Suddenly, Franks stumbles upon Mikey, “you’re in my way,” he says. Mikey walked backwards, “chill dude.” Then, Ray appears behind Gerard, taps Gerard on his shoulder that made him startled a bit.
They approach the restaurant with caution, they smell a faint scent of rotten meat—likely to be a dead rat or something, they think. As they stand in front of the entrance, Frank tries to knock on the door, they assume there’s gonna be a security guard coming up but there’s no one. He tries to open the door, “shit, is the door locked? I can’t hardly open it-” Frank almost fell headfirst to the halos the place gives—actually he almost fell when the door suddenly cracked open. He regains his balance and walks first inside to the restaurant. “Oh this isn’t so bad!” He exclaims, putting both of his hands on his waist, he steps aside to let the rest in.
Mikey’s eyes wide open as he sees the now old abandoned restaurant, “woah.. Woahaha!! Look at these guys, a child’s drawing and plushies on the floor?!” He scrambles through the entrance hall to another hall on the right, the others almost lost their sight of Mikey. They decide to follow him. There’s two hallways that are connected to the other hall, because this place started to muddle them, they realized that they needed to make a small map of the place. Together they agree that they’re in hall 2 right now, and Mikey is in hall 5, across from them.
“This place is so sick! Look at those animatronic masks hanging on the mannequins!” At this point, Mikey is being a bit loud.
Gerard approaches his brother, “Don’t be too loud, we have no idea if there’s anyone here.”
“Damnn! Look at those crazy decorations, this one looks like your art, gee!”
“Mikey! Shushhh”
“Sorry, sorry!”
Mikey walks backward and THUMP! he bumps against something, as he turns around, he sees a small animatronic, looks like a little boy with a round body and wears a red and blue vertically striped shirt, holding a balloon in his right hand and a sign on his left hand that says "Balloon!”
Mikey was surprised, “look at this robo dude,” he took a quick look at the animatronic, “this is so sick!” He directs the camcorder to that animatronic. It looks dusty and crummy in his camera.
While Frank walks to hall 6, there he finds a big ball pit in that narrow place.
“What an odd ball pit, it could’ve chosen another place and they placed it here.” His instinct tells him to jump to the pit, he resisted and walked back to the previous place where they gathered.
“I saw this weird ball pit, it looked clean though, it’s new to me” Frank says abruptly.
Of course, Mikey’s the first to turn his head around and looking more excited, “What, where?!” He approaches Frank like he’s demanding him to show the ball pit.
They walk to hall 6, where they find the ball pit Frank talked about earlier. There’s a hint of curiosity in Gerard’s face now.
“Shall we jump into the pit?” Gerard suggests, the ball pit looks convincing to him.
“You’re crazy,” Frank retorts, “but we definitely should.” He grabs Gerard and Ray's hands, making them stun and fall to the ball pit instantly.
“What the fuck?!”
“Give them a big kiss when you arrive there!”
Frank pushes Mikey forcefully, and he disappears within the colorful balls.
Eventually, Frank waits for them to climb out from the pit, he thinks that they’re deliberately hiding to scare him. It’s been a minute now, concern draws in his face, taps on his feet, still waiting for them. Then, he decided to jump into the ball pit too, he sat on the edge before leaping among colorful balls, slowly absorbing him.
As he climbs out from the ball pit, he realizes why they took so long to come back, they weren’t hiding, they’re confused. The hall they were in looks more alive, there’s no dust or dirty stain on the wall, everything is clean. They hear faint jazz and kid songs in the background, the lamps are on, and there’s a small sound of electric buzz around them.
“Where are we?”
