Monday: 11PM
Freddy Fazbear stood up on stage, his eyes half shut and his head along with the rest of his body lowered and limp. The restaurant had been closed all day due to construction, therefore all animatronics were to be powered down while the engineers worked around the building. Their usual scheduled activation however remained the same, it was important for the older models to free roam during the late evening in order to reduce lock ups in their joints and servos. Usually Freddy and the others would amuse themselves during the free time they had by playing games and singing songs. One of Freddy's favourite games was teaming up to catch the security guard, he liked to think of himself as strategic and tactical, he could truly feel confident in being himself around his fellow Animatronics, they all knew how serious he could be at times and this didn't bother them. After all everyone got along extremely well. Freddy couldn't be happier with his little family. But he knew it wouldn't stay so little much longer.
12AM:
As the graveyard shift began all Animatronics awoke to the dimly lit stage in the dark party room. They'd been powered off all day, as expected. As they opened their eyes the first thing they noticed was the bright spot Lights directing to the opposite end of the room.
"oh come on!" groaned Freddy.
Bonnie turned and gave him a rather confused expression as he asked "what don't you like it?"
Freddy scoffed. "I just can't believe they get a whole new stage."
Chica glanced over to where the spot Lights faced. A brand new wooden stage, far bigger than their own was now sitting at the end of the party room.
"Well, would you rather they stood on stage with us?" she said sarcastically.
Freddy lowered his head for a moment before replying.
"Well...no...but I don't see how there can be two show stages at once."
Bonnie nodded slowly and turned to Chica.
"I suppose it's a good sign...it means they won't be replacing us on our stage."
Freddy was horrified by the thought of such a thing. They had overheard not long ago that the company had plans to introduce new animatronics. At first it was just an idea, one that Freddy hated. He loved things within the pizzeria just the way they where. Any new animatronics would overcrowd the restaurant in his opinion. He became comfortable with the idea of a puppet and some...balloon kid thing, but after hearing two days later that their would be brand new versions of themselves arriving, they panicked.
"Not long now, the newbies should arrive sometime this week." Chica stated.
Freddy sighed and moved to leave the stage.
The past few days had been stressful. The thought of being replaced scared them all but Freddy was more offended then ever after hearing there would be another Freddy, a newer Freddy! Everyone here respected him as leader, as the face of the restaurant. He feared another Freddy would bee distracting from him. He didn't like change, but he didn't like been outshined either.
2AM:
Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and foxy sat around the table, set adjacent to the show stage. The security guard was off duty tonight, they assumed it was due to the late construction work earlier that evening. So since they couldn't play their twisted game of "scare the security guard" they decided to play another one instead. This game is what children called hide and seek. But to the animatronics it was known as "predator and prey."
As they sat amongst the party table, they organised the rules and roles each would portray Typically Bonnie and Chica would take on the role as prey since the animals they were made as were In fact prey animals, and Freddy and foxy played as predators.
The idea was that one pred and a prey would team up in a pair, and each would take their turn and finding the other. This would hopefully mean Freddy and the others could take their minds always from the situation surrounding the new animatronics that where to arrive any day.
The predator would wear a blindfold and move around the room completely blinded, using only their hands and senses to find their prey. Sometimes for fun they would swap. Bonnie would usually team up with Freddy and sometime he would take on the role of predator, trying to find Freddy. Foxy and Chica would do the same, however Chica always insisted on playing prey, she wasn't very good at hunting foxy down. He was After all much faster.
"Alright then! Everyone ready?" Freddy beamed.
"Aye aye captain." Foxy said with a wink.
Freddy smirked and looked to Bonnie.
"You want to pair up with me again Bon?"
Bonnie smiled and gave a quick glance to foxy who had already grabbed Chica, dragging her to the other side of the room. He really loved this game and wouldn't hesitate to get started as soon as possible.
"Lets do this Fred." He laughed, standing up to put the blind fold over Freddy's eyes.
4 AM:
Bonnie stood statue still. His long rabbit ears rotating continuously, just like radar dishes. Upon hearing a sound, a distant thud in the east, he jumped in its direction hoping to grab hold of Freddy...only to fall into a table...or was it a chair. Damn not being able to see really made it hard to distinguish between the two he thought. They'd been playing for well over an hour. And it was once again Bonnies turn to play the predator and find Freddy.
A whistle came from behind.
"Ah ha! Shouldn't have done that, I've got you now!" Bonnie shouted spinning around, throwing his hands forward only to hit a wall.
A quiet laugh, escaped Freddy's mouth.
Bonnie granted and listened carefully. He decided to go the opposite direction of any sound. By now it was clear Freddy was using that little trick to mislead Bonnie into objects scattered around the room. Running to the left he bumped into some metal. Freddy had not expected Bonnie to outsmart him and as a result the bunny had knocked him over.
"HA!" Bonnie exclaimed. "And that's game!"
Freddy laughed picking himself off the floor and congratulated his friend. Foxy and Chica watched amused from the show stage.
"should we play something else?" Foxy asked Enthusiastically. Being out of order meant he had much more energy than the others since he wasn't active during the day to perform.
"Well while you three decided on what to play, I'll make us some pizza. I'll be in the kitchen if anyone needs me." She said smiling.
Freddy couldn't help but smile too. Look at the family he had. Such kind friends whom he could play games with as long as possible. Friends he could talk to whenever. Friends he could rely on. He couldn't bare the thought of such a big change. Soon the new animatronics would arrive and all this would change.
