Michael seated himself back in the office chair.

"Who would've thought?" Michael muttered, smiling. "Stay from 12 to 6, and I get paid double! That's definitely worth it-"

He froze. He heard something off to his left.

"-but maybe not now," he stammered. He looked to the left. "Hello? Anyone there?"

Silence.

"Ennard?" he asked nervously. "That you?"

No reply.

Michael checked CAM 01, since that was where he heard the sound. But it was broken, dysfunctional. He couldn't see through it. Confused, Michael lowered the monitor, but gasped when he heard ballerina music and a familiar voice to his left.

"All I do is dance alone,

But now I hear your flesh and bone.

I roam these halls alone all day,
But now you're here, friend and prey."

It was Ballora.

"What the-" Michael quickly closed the left door, heart pounding in his chest so hard he feared it might tear itself out. "What's going on? How's Ballora here?"

The music faded, and Michael opened the door, feeling his chest slowly unclench.

"Jesus," he muttered. He looked at the left door again, seeing only darkness. "I wish there were lights, or the cameras worked, or something. Why are the cameras even out to begin with? Or just the hall corner cameras? I should check the others and see if they're working, too."

Michael raised the monitor and started flipping through the cameras. Sure enough, they all seemed to be working, except for CAMs 01 and 02, the two on the left and right hall corners. When Michael got to CAM 06, however, he saw something shocking.

A large oxygen tank was there, and three Minireenas were seemingly tampering with it.

"Wh-" As if on cue, the air became a little humid. Michael took a breath, but he could tell that there wasn't much oxygen in the air, thanks to the Minireenas fiddling with the oxygen tank. Desperately, Michael looked around the screen to see what he could do to stop them, and saw a square button on the screen.

It read "Controlled Shock".

"Controlled shocks!" he panted. "Of course!" Quickly, he mashed his finger on the button, and with a sharp, mechanical buzzing noise, the Minireenas vaporized paranormally. Michael felt the air become normal again, and he thankfully took a breath of air, now fresh.

"Whew!" he sighed, smiling briefly. "Thank goodness that got cleared up..."

He then heard the ballerina music again, this time to his right. Without hesitation, Michael closed the right door, knowing that Ballora was there. The music faded.

Then, all of a sudden, a Minireena climbed up onto him and onto his face.

"What the - mrrp! Get off!" Michael struggled to pull the thing off his face, but it clung on tight and just giggled, its head bobbing up and down like a bobblehead. Trying to ignore it, he lifted the monitor, and curiously, the Minireena retreated.

"Huh-?" said Michael in surprise. He lowered the monitor, and the Minireena clung on again. "-shoot. Never mind, thought you had taken the hint and beat it..."

The Minireena giggled in response.

Michael heard the music to his left, and quickly he turned to the left and pressed the door button. The door rumbled shut, and after a few moments, the music faded. Michael opened the door again, and right as he did, a second Minireena sprang onto his face.

"GAAAAHHH!" Michael screamed, flailing around.

The Minireenas both giggled.

A third then jumped on him.

"Get off me!" Michael yelled, lifting the monitor. He saw the other Minireenas tampering with the oxygen tank, and gave them a controlled shock, making them vanish again. When he lowered the monitor, he heard the music to his left again, but with all the Minireenas on his face, it was difficult to see. He tried to peer through their limbs and saw the door button. He pressed it, and the door closed.

"Oh, my God..." Michael panted. "Please, turn to 6, turn to 6..."

He heard the music to his right, and he quickly turned, but another Minireena appeared on his face, obscuring more of his view. He tried desperately to see around the giggling Minireenas.

"No, no, no, please..."

Suddenly, the Minireenas hopped off Michael's face. Confused, he looked at the clock.

It read 6am.

"YES!" Michael cheered, pumping both fists in the air. "I DID IT! Double pay for me!" He got out of his chair and left the Private Room.

Before he closed the door, he heard Ballora's voice speak to him from the shadows.

"Save me a dance for another day, perhaps."
