Chapter 1: New Job?

"Is she here yet?" a little girl asked her mom as she came running over from the play area.

"Not yet honey," her mom said trying not to laugh at her daughter's impatience.

"Maybe you should look behind you," a gentle voice whispered in her ear.

"Alice!" the little girl shouted with joy and just about knocked over older cousin with a tackle hug.

"Happy Birthday Sabrina," Alice laughed as she tried to breath.

"Hi Honey. Glad to see you made it," the girl's mom spoke.

"Hi Aunt Grace…."

"Your late," Alice's little cousin interupted, "Where have you been? The show is going to start soon."

"Well… if your going to act like that Sabrina. I could always return this," Alice spoke in a serious tone as she revievaled a brightly colored bag from behind her back. Sabrina's eyes lit up when she seen the bag and had a quick change of mind, "On second thought I'm glad you took your time. Mommy can I open it now, please."

"You can wait till after we cut the cake," she said, "I don't think Alice is going anywhere, are you?"

"Nope," Alice said before her tone changed, "Well… I might go over to the arcade or maybe over to watch one of the shows, but that's it. I'll be within eye sight."

"Fine," Sabrina said, "Come on, I want at least one round of skee ball with you."

"Deal," Alice said befor sharing a firm handshake. However before they could head to the arcade area her aunt stopped them, "Sabrina, I need to talk to Alice for a minute, ok?

"Ok," Sabrina said a little heartbroken.

"I'll be over in a little bit. If nothing else we'll play after the show. Ok?" Alice said softly.

"Ok," Sabrina said, "But make it quick then, Freddy and his friends are going to be on soon."

With that Sabrina ran back over to her friends by the big stage and waited for the band to start.

"Glad you could make it dear," her aunt said before her tone saddened a bit, "How is she doing?"

"Not so good. Doctors aren't sure if she's going to make it even through the week," Alice started, "I guess it's bitter-sweet that she doesn't know that Derek didn't make it."

"It was a really bad car accident hun…"

"Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Can I get you something to drink?" a young waitress asked as she walked over after she noticed that Alice had joined the birthday party, "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt, I can come back."

"It's ok. Your fine," Alice said with a small smile, "Can I get a Sprite no-ice, please."

"Right away," the waitress said, "And sorry again."

Alice took the small moment to look around. Freddy's hadn't seemed to of chanced a whole lot since she was little. She actually felt happy for the first time since the accidient. Despite the big certain across the stage, she looked forward to seeing Freddy and his friends play their catchy songs. Her brother always said she was a kid at heart, thought they both knew he couldn't say much.

A sudden feeling of being watched closely made her turn her attention towards the aracde and the prize corner, she saw a tall and thin animatronic handing out prizes to happy kids. If she remembered correctly the employees called him Marionette, at least that's what she remembered from when she was little. She noticed that it seemed to look up at her after handing a kid a prize. It tilled its head when it stared. Why would would it be staring at her like that did it recognize her or something?

A thought ran across her mind convincing her to look around a little more to notice that her favorite character wasn't present. She didn't see Foxy, he had always been her favorite when she was little. Alice spotted the certain for Pirate's Cove, but instead of being open and inviting, they were closed with a "Sorry Out Of Order" sign in front of it. The site of it crushed her a little, he had always been her favorite.

"How are you managing the bills?" her aunt spoke snapping her out of her train of thought and kept her from catching sight of a pair of glowing eyes peek through the certain.

"Um… between mom's savings and the insurance, its been covering the majority of it, but there's still a portion that needs to be covered and yeah," Alice stated.

"Aren't you working at the bakery?" Aunt Grace asked.

"I was, but when I turned the owner's son down when he asked me out on a date. They fired me," she explained.

"Really?" her aunt asked surprised.

"Yep," Alice answered, "Seems that was the only reason that they hired me in the first place."

"Honey, if we were hiring and in town I'd help you out," Aunt Grace said sadly.

"Here's your Sprite, no-ice," the waitress said as she came back, "Sorry to over hear, but I know our manager has been looking for a new night guard. I think he'd be thrilled to hear that someone is interested. If you'd like, I could go get him."

"That'd be great actually," Alice said with a smile. Before the disappeances, her mom and her dad, when he as still alive, used to bring her and brother here all the time. The thought of working here could be fun, even if was the night shift. Then again being a night owl was part of her nature so staying up all night wasn't a problem.

"Already I'll be right back then," the waitress spoke as she walked away.

"Well I may of just found a new job without even trying," Alice spoke as she seen the Marionette poped out of his box again.

"Yeah," her aunt agreed as she looked over in the same direction as Alice did, "That one has always creeped me out more then the others. I have no idea what you and Sabrina see in them."

"Oh come on their cute," Alice teased, "Believe it or not I still have the Foxy plushie that he gave me last time we were and that was I think I was like 8 and I'm 19 now. And he's not going anywhere."

"You still have that thing?"her aunt joked cracking a smile.

"Yep and recently he's been joined by Bonnie," Alice laughed before a saddened tone took over, "Derek gave him to me before the accident and I've kept him with Foxy on my bed ever since."

Alice gave one last glance over to the Marionette only to see it staring straight at her this time, was it listening?

"This is her sir," the waitress voice made Alice turn to see her coming back with an older gentleman probably around his 30s or 40s.

"Hello I'm Alice," she stood up and introduced herself. He shook her hand and spoke, "Jeremy. Nice to meet you."

"Kelly said you were looking for a job and you were interested in the night guard postion," he said.

"Yes sir," Alice explained, "She said your were hiring for that postion right now."

"I'm going to tell Sabrina your going to be a minute well you two talk," Aunt Grace said as she exused herself.

"We are," he said, "The night shifts here can get a little… rough. Would you be able to handle that?"

She didn't know what it was, but Jeremy seemed to be nervous. Alice could hear it in his voice. It was hard to tell if he was speaking to her or someone else, but she just pushed the thought to the back of her mind, "Yeah I could do it. Being a night owl runs in my family."

"Perfect. Could you start tomorrow?" he asked as he turned when he heard Alice's cousin running over, "Since you seem to be busy for the day."

"Sure, but don't you need to an interview?" Alice asked out of curiousity. It wasn't like most jobs to not do an interview, before they let you start working for them.

"Here at Freddy's we do a working interview," he explained, "For the night guard postion, we give you five nights to adjust and get to know…. Everyone."

"Ok," Alice said sensing the discomfort in his voice again, "What do I need for the uniform?"

"Black jeans and a pair of comfortable shoes. We'll have a set of shirts waiting for you when you come in tomorrow," Jeremy said, "Oh what size do you prefer?"

"Medium is ok," Alice answered.

"Welcome aboard,"Jeremy said as they shook hands one last time, "See you tomorrow night around 11:30pm to introduce you to the day guard and show you what to do."

"Sounds good. Thank you so much," Alice said as they parted ways. However, with how he behaved, the manager left her with more questions then answers.

Like how he explained their "working interview" worked he had shot a glance over her shoulder at the now closed Pirate's Cove. Then over to the big stage when he talked about the day guard. And once again at the prize corner as he walked away, were the Marionette seemed just as intruged to watch him, before he slipped back into his box. Jeremy behaved like something was going to happen. It sent chills up her spine.

"Alice!" Sabrina's voice snapped her back to reality, "Their starting!"

"Ok, ok I'm coming," Alice said as her cousin dragged her back over to the big stage.

"How it go?" her aunt said as they passed by each other.

"Creepy, but promising," Alice said.

"Good to hear hun," Aunt Grace called after them. She could hear her aunt laughing as her cousin continued to drag her away.

When they got over to the spot were her cousin's friends were sitting and joined them. Sabrina had the biggest grin on her face, "Mom said you might of gotten a job here."

"Maybe," Alice said with a smile back.

"Maybe you could bring me to work with you," Sabrina said leaning againest her cousin's shoulder, "You know as your helper."

"Ok, first it's a night shift," Alice stated trying to keep a straight face, "Second job or not Aunt Grace would kill me for letting you stay up all night.

They shared a laugh as the certains begain to open.

"Hi there everyone," a big brown bear with a black top hat welcomed everyone, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, I'm Freddy."

"I'm Chica," the cheerful chicken to Freddy's left introduced herself with a little bow.

"And I'm Bonnie," the purple rabbit to Freddy's right spoke up as he strummed his guitar.

"Are you ready to party?" Freddy asked in a cheerful tone. All the kids cheered, even Sabrina, where as Alice just smiled. She was never one to be very loud. It had been so long since she smiled like this thought.

As the band played, she hoped her new job would go smoothly as today did, but a voice at the back of her mind told her otherwise and made her feel uneasy.
