Work Text:
June 26th, 1985 was the day of my 10th birthday. My family saved up weeks for me to go Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. It was so exciting, playing all the games, eating the kind of stale, but still yummy pizza, and of course seeing the animatronics sing for my birthday! It was the best birthday I've ever had! My mom and dad went to go take a call, and told me to stay in one place and to remember stranger danger. I should have listened to them. While playing a game (I think was) called Midnight Motorist, a voice congratulated me. "Hoho, seems you're a master racer buddy!" it said. I turned around and saw a yellow rabbit with a pink bow tie behind me. It wasn't Bonnie and all the other animatronics were behind the curtains for now. "Want a special gift, for a special player like you?" I told him "Yeah!" like anyone my age would. The rabbit told me to "just follow him into the backroom and he'll give it to me".
I followed him into the backroom. It was hard to see in there. I saw some rats, a kitchen, and an animatronic. It looked similar to Freddy but was yellow with a purple tie. He brought me near the parts and service room. "Alright, close your eyes!" the rabbit told me. I closed them and the rabbit walked somewhere to get it. He walked back and I decided to open my eye a little bit and saw, a knife?" STAB The rabbit put the knife through me and blood started to pour out of me. Before I passed out, I saw him dragging me to the show stage and opened up Bonnie's suit. After what felt like hours, an animatronic seemed to float to me. It was skinny and black, with a white mask that had red cheeks and purple tears, with a giant smile. "Do you want to live?" it said with a voice similar to a classmate of mine who disappeared 2 years ago. "Charlie? Is that you?" I asked it. "Yes, it's me. Listen, who killed you was William Afton, a horrible man who killed 4 other children and you. she replied. "I found a way to give you guys life." I cried "Please save me! I want to see my mom and dad! They're probably so worried about me!" "But, there is a problem." she warned. "If I give you life, you'll be stuck controlling this animatronic. Is that ok to you?" I thought about it and accepted her offer. My vision went to black. When I woke up, I was on the stage controlling Bonnie. This would be so rad if I didn't have to die for this. I walked around the backstage and saw that there were other kids possessing the others. There was Gabriel (my best friend) who possessed Freddy. I'm sad he got caught but at least we're in it together. There was also Susie who possessed Chica, she's nice, she told me she got lured cause that rabbit knew where her dog was; and Fritz who possessed Foxy, he was cool although he did scare me when we met.
Then there were was that yellow Freddy suit I saw earlier. Turns out there was two people in that one. One was named Dave, who was apparently the victim of "The Bite of 83" he was pretty shy; and Cassidy, she absolutely hated that man and said that he'd "get what's coming to him someday". We spent the night telling stories about our families. Susie told about her dad who'd help anyone in need, while Fritz talked about his mom who was an "epic biker" and was the coolest mom ever. Dave told us that his dad actually made these robots, and when he said his dad's last name was Afton; we all kind of looked at him funny. The next morning, moving trucks showed up to the place, and picked us up and moved all of us away. Turns out having 5 children go missing in one night, isn't good for business. All of us sat in a storage room for 2 years, except for Charlie. "I'm going to find my dad and tell him what his co-worker has been doing" she said before leaving. Me and the others spent the time playing together, singing, and telling stories. It felt nice for me to know even if this fate was terrible, that I had friends to help. Suddenly, the door opened and some people moved us to a new location. They took apart the suits we controlled. Susie lost her arms and her jaw broke, Fritz had some parts taken, Gabriel didn't have too much done to him, and I lost my face. Weirdly, the suit Dave and Cassidy were possessing was gone. It was like they teleported away, like a ghost.(Heh..) They added some technology to most of our eyes, a facial scanner, but they gave up the 'retrofitting' around when Fritz should've gotten his facial scanner(he was NOT very happy about that).
After a bit, we heard some noise. We heard the staff talking about "brand new animatronics, with the highest of tech!", so naturally it caught the interest of me and the others. "Wanna go check it out guys?" Gabriel asked us. We all unanimously said yes, and went to look around the place when the staff left. At the stage we saw Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica. They looked much different. A lot more "cutesy" than the ones we were possessing. They were still really cool looking. There was some weird animatronic that looked like a kid. It had a plastic balloon in its hand and a sign saying "Balloons!!" Most of us were really creeped out by it, especially Susie. She shrieked "GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!!" Fritz however, thought it was funny(Somehow)?? Anyway there was this location called "Kid's Cove" with a new Foxy. It ironically, was pink and girly, much different than the original Foxy. "What did the do to Foxy" Fritz shrieked. On our way back, we saw a place called the Prize Room with a giant box. We wound it up and something popped out. Charlie. We all asked her what she was doing here. She told us that the staff members found her and decided to put her in the prize box and she'd work as a prize vendor. She told us to go back to the room so we wouldn't get dismantled. So we sprint (as fast as we could) to the back room and rest there for a bit. After some weeks we woke up to Gabriel screaming at us that something bad happened. When we asked what happened, he started yapping about what he saw. "Okay SO, I decided to walk around and the Foxy guy was all broken with its endo showing." "Nice." Fritz said satisfied about it's destruction. "I also saw.. him." Gabriel continued. "William Afton. He killed 5 more children." We all stared at Gabriel in shock. That man was back and killed more kids. "Yeah, and when me and Charlie tried to stop him, he just left the place." As Gabriel finished the story, Cassidy and Dave teleported back, and we didn't even get to say anything about their disappearance before Cassidy said "Well, when he comes back.. We gotta make him hurt as bad as we did." We all agreed on that when we saw him, we would stuff him into one of the suits in the back so he'd know how it felt. After a week, we saw someone enter the field, and we couldn't mistake him for anyone else, Afton. He was apparently hired as the nightguard. Me, the other missing children, and the Toy Animatronics (which moved for some reason?) tried to get him all week, but when we reached him, we just saw Gabriel. Even Gabriel saw Gabriel, somehow?? Fritz tried to tell us that Afton was using a mask, but he was getting flashed by a light most of the time.
Apparently that Foxy animatronic (which we heard being called Mangle) had bit someone's frontal lobe, so the other animatronics were being scrapped and the pizzeria was closing down. So back to the storage room for us, but I heard them talking about repairing "those old animatronics in the back" most likely meaning us. They couldn't find Charlie though, I wonder where she went. After years, they repaired us. Gabriel and Fritz's suits were repaired, Susie has her arms back and her jaw was fixed, and I got my face back ohhh yeahh. They put us back on stage, and it actually felt really cool performing for kids when they did come. We saw our killer come back to work the same job as a nightguard. We tried to get him, but he had doors he could close at will. He escaped us twice, the next time he can't get away with this. Eventually, the pizzeria shut down and they decided not to bring us at all this time, so all 5 of us stayed in that building for 2 years. But Gabriel heard a voice, coming from what he described as a purple Freddy saying to "Follow him" He told us that he would be right back. He never came back. One by one we all heard "Follow me" and I saw that He destroyed us all. The night after he decommissioned us all, we snuck up on him, cornering him into a spare room. Cassidy cornered him and that coward went into the suit he used to kill all of us and started laughing. "Hahehehe... Stupid in life and in death, huh?" he taunted. "You'll never be able to stop me, I'm the star of this show, and I shall take my bow!" There was a lot of leaks on the roof when this happened. When that singular droplet fell on his suit, something happened we shouldn't have ever known. Suddenly, he started shaking, and yelling, blood started to pool on the floor, his screams starting to sound like gurgling water. We were shocked that this happened, and also happy that he got what he deserved. While we were sitting in the pizzeria, the doors opened and revealed.. Charlie. She had a birthday cake somehow and said "How about we have a party for this special occasion!" We all said yes and set up the table. After we all sung happy birthday, Dave started crying. "This is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me. Thank you guys.. This is by far my happiest day." We all ate the cake and felt at peace. Me, Gabriel, Susie, Fritz, and Dave were satisfied and decided to rest. "Cassidy! Charlie! Aren't you guys coming with us?" I asked. Charlie said that she was going to stick around and try and protect children. "I hope you guys have a great day, I'll see you guys later." she said. "I want him to suffer more." Cassidy said. "I won't be coming with you guys until he has suffered as much as we, and his other victims all have." So the 5 of us, disappeared to rest forevermore.
