Luckily, school was closed that day due to some sort of problem with the water system. Now, normally I would have stayed home and slept and relaxed all day munching on pizza and other junk foods but-

"Callaby, could you work a day shift today? We're missing a couple of waiters and we need some help up here."

I groaned, still half asleep and trying to understand the universe all over again. It took me a second to realize who was calling. Ah, .

"Sir-"

"Please, Callaby. You'll even be paid for this." I sighed. "I'll be up there in ten." I could practically here the smile and relief in his voice. "Oh, thank you. See you in a b-" his voice was cut out by the a loud shrill of laughter from a kid in the background. Then the call was ended.

I practically fell downstairs, then grabbed my car keys. My clothing consisted of a pair of black sweatpants, some old grey and worn out converse, and a semi-tight long sleeved grey shirt. My hair was put into a French braid to keep the hair out of my face, although there were still a few stray hairs that tickled my nose. Though, they weren't too much of a bother.

When I arrived at the pizzeria, I was nearly overwhelmed by how many kids were there already. Well, school is out. So no wonder there were so many people showing up already.

I smiled as I walked in the pizzeria. My heart always melted at the sight of children and the sweet sound of their laughter. So innocent and naive. I missed the days of my childhood.

"Hello, here is a uniform for you too wear." One of the waitresses that I had met before handed me the uniform. His name was Trey, and he was actually kind of cute. I nodded and flashed a quick thankful smile. Suddenly, I was pushed forward and face planted Trey's chest, seeing as how I'm short I never reached past other peoples shoulders. A kid had bumped into me from behind. I blushed and pulled myself away from Trey. My hands fidgeted desperately as I recollected myself.

"I'm sorry!" The little girl looked up at me with owl eyes. Her eyes were a very bright emerald, and her hair was nearly golden and was touched with the faintest hint of curls on the end. She had a light tan, with freckles splattered across her nose, and her height was about at my waist. I chuckled and patted the girls head, my blush disappearing. "It's alright, kiddo. Don't stress yourself." She smiled back, and giggled. Then she ran off to where the other kids were playing.

"That was adorable." I turned around to look at Trey again and blushed. I rubbed the back of my neck as I laughed nervously. "Well, I better-uh-go get these...clothes...on." I scurried off to the restrooms. Wow, that was awkward.

My uniform consisted of a yellow button up collared shirt that was a bit too tight for comfort, a black skirt that reach just above my knees, a yellow apron, and a yellow cap that I had to wear on my head that said. "Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria"

And boy, was that waitressing job stressful or what? I was out in the area near the ball pit and arcade area and was constantly running back and for between tables and the kitchen. People were ordering here and there and kids were just making a mess. One kid had even tried to put a piece of pizza in the coin slot of an arcade game.

"Hey, kid! Get back here!"

The kid ran off into the crowd, giggling as I chased him. Why, that little-

"Hey, Cally, it's your thirty minute break, I'm coverin' for ya." One of the other waitresses, Macey Holly, had told me. I gave a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank you."

I sat down at one of the booths by myself, enjoying a bottle of water that I had brought with me. My feet were killing me, these damned shoes... I couldn't wait to finally get a nap and-

I jumped, startling myself as someone took the seat in the booth across from mine. My eyes widened to the size of planets when I saw who it was. We stared at each other in silence for what seemed like hours but was only a few minutes. He took his top hat off and laid it on the table and sighed. His eyes darted side to side, watching the kids and any other ears that may be listening.

"Callaby." I flinched when he said my name. My eyes darted away fearfully. He looked down in shame before his blue eyes met mine again. "I-We are terribly sorry. What we did-it was very unnecessary. We give our sincerest apologies for what happened-"

I gave him a fierce glare. "You expect me to just fully trust you just because of some apology, Mr.Fazbear." I sneered. He practically shrunk in his seat before silently pleading with me. "Please. We realize now that you were, in fact, a human. If you are able to find the mercy in your heart, would you-" He gulped. "Would let us prove to you tonight that we are not so bad after all?" I sighed, and grumbled. My hands rubbed across my face as I tried to process what he was saying. I knew that they wouldn't stop until I agreed, so I decided that they could have a chance. Just one chance. That's all. And I wasn't going back to this horrid place after tonight.

"Fine." He instantly perked up. "But you better stay true to your word." If an animatronic could smile, he would definitely be smiling right now. For what reason? I had absolutely no idea. "Oh, thank you, Miss Callaby. Have a good day." He tipped his hat and went off to continue his daily job. A pitiful whine of frustration burst past my lips before I could stop it.

"What am I even doing anymore?"
