It was 4am in the morning, the weather outside was still ice cold, inside Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria an old man slept soundly with a full stomach in on the cubicles in one of the men's bathrooms. Elsewhere the young night guard Joshua Schmidt was currently upside down while standing on his hands perfectly poised while his opponent the animatronic Chica copied his stance, though with a less than confident expression.

“How long you gunna last Chica?" Joshua taunted as he noticed the animatronic shake.

“Are, are you kidding? I could, I could keep this up all night!" Chica boasted thought her entire frame was shaking while her legs swayed as she tried to keep herself up right.

The other animatronics watched on, cheering for their preferred contestant, Wolfie siding with Joshua and Bonnie with Chica, while Freddy remained neutral and switched names between his cheering.

Chica then noticed Joshua take his attention off of her, now was her chance for a quick win! She reached out to knock his arm out from under him only for him to lift his arm balancing himself perfectly on one hand, Chica lost balance and was too slow to put her other hand down before her entire body came crashing down and landed in a heap on the ground.

“Darn it." Chica groaned from both embarrassment and defeat.

“Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Bonnie cried out dramatically and fell to his knees.

“HUZZAH! YES!" Wolfie cheered in celebration as Joshua gracefully got back to his feet.

“I'm never doing that again; all the blood went to my brain." Joshua said, stumbling a little.

“Very nicely done Josh." Freddy congratulated then looked down to his avian friend, “you okay down there Chica?" he asked, though knew she'd be alright.

“Just fine, let me get my bearings." She groaned before pushing herself back to her feet and shook her head, “Pretty slick there Josh." She crossed her arms, “how'd you learn to do that?"

“I've always been able to do that; the fact I could just never came up." He replied easily with a shrug of his shoulders.

“Well, as fun as it is seeing you fall on your face Chica," Wolfie began smugly before reaching an arm out and giving Chica and Bonnie the “come get some" hand sign, “it's time for you two to pay up."

The two groaned and glared at the wolf, “Alright, what do you want?" Chica asked reluctantly

Freddy nudged Joshua gently gaining the young man's attention and motioned for him to follow.

The pair walked off as Wolfie began to make her list of demands, some of wish Chica immediately argued over.

“You okay Freddy?" Joshua asked.

The tall six foot nine bear smiled down to the young five foot eight man, “I'm fine thank you Josh, I wanted to thank you for earlier, for diffusing the whole Katie's thing, I could tell the others were taking it to the power core."

“I noticed you didn't seem much better, though then again you're a hard guy to get a read on." Joshua replied.

'Guy'; Joshua was always going that, referring to them like people, always like people, many of the staff at Freddy's, not all mind you, but many referred to them as Machines, saw them as Machines, nothing more than fancy toasters, but not the children and never Joshua, it was always; guys, girls, people, the band, the crew, the family. It was one of Joshua's more endearing traits, something that really helped the animatronics to grow close to their night guard. Freddy smiled a little more without meaning to do so.

“I'll admit, I was a little down, however I was merely going through an in-depth thought process, calculating variables and possibilities that would happen in the future regarding us and the company." Freddy explained.

“Hey worse comes to worse, you guys could live with me." Joshua joked to which Freddy chuckled.

“I appreciate the offer, but I doubt your father would be happy with that idea." Freddy replied. “Again, thank you for cheering them, and myself, up." Freddy turned to re-join the others.

“Uh Freddy, quick question." Joshua said hurriedly.

Freddy turned back towards Joshua with a raised brow. “Hmm?"

Joshua ran a finger through his uniform collar and swallowed, he could already feel his nerves getting the better of him, “How uh … how did you know about me and Wolfie? And don't say you don't I know you do." Joshua asked in a nervous tone.

Freddy chuckled once before placing his hands on his hips. “You and Wolfie were always close Josh, and between you and me, I think you were always her favourite," he began taking his time to explain, “I hadn't realised how close you two would be when you were growing older, and when you became a teenager I had thought your friendship would pass, I'm glad to see I was wrong, if anything it's grown much stronger … and much stranger."

Freddy took a little enjoyment out of seeing Joshua squirm in his place rubbing his shoe across the ground and avoiding eye contact with Freddy.

“Though, I had originally guessed something was going on when I noticed how much closer you two were becoming as the months went by after you came back, at first I hadn't considered anything romantic going on between you, I hadn't thought it were possible." He admitted. “But I noticed the small things, the way you looked at one another, the way Wolfie would try and hold your hand when you both thought no one was watching, the way she always seemed to hover around you."

Joshua looked at Freddy in surprise, he didn't know Freddy could be so insightful, if he weren't a child's animatronic he'd make quite the detective.

“That and I've accidentally walked in on you two in some of your more compromised positions." The bear quickly added, making Joshua inhale deeply as his face turned scarlet, “and so has Chica." Oh well that was just _great! _ Freddy and Chica had seen him and Wolfie … sharing their love for one another.

“Ah," was all Joshua could bring himself to say.

“Didn't even know Wolfie was capable of such a thing. I know for a fact Chica, Bonnie and I aren't." Freddy continued, “Though Chica has a slight feminine shape, none of us actually have any uh," he coughed into a fist, “genitals." If Joshua's cheeks heated up anymore they'd be steaming. “You're using protection right?" Freddy asked.

It was at that moment, the world could have opened up and swallowed him and he'd have been grateful.

“Um …" was all that came from the embarrassed red faced Joshua.

Freddy laughed a little louder and patted Joshua on the side, “I'm just joshing you." He laughed a little at his own pun, “come on, I'm done teasing." Freddy said grabbing Joshua by the arm gently and pulled him along.

“NO, NO AND NO!" Chica yelled at Wolfie while stamping her foot for emphasis. Freddy and Joshua wondered what had been discussed while they were talking.

“Oh yes, you will." Wolfie said in a growling tone and leaned closer to Chica whom clenched her fists and glared back.

The two female animatronics stared each other down, growling at one another till one of them relented.

Bonnie meanwhile looked terrified, so much so his body was shaking.

“Umm, W-Wolfie, you uh, you are being a little harsh." Bonnie stammered, only for the menacing pirate to snap her head in his direction, “EEK!" the poor bunny yelped and cowered.

“Wolfie, stop scaring Bonnie." Freddy chastised lightly, before being on the receiving end of her glare. Now, Wolfie was easily the scariest of the four animatronics, what with her height advantage, heavier weight, big sharp teeth, and personality, however he was Freddy Fazbear and he, as the kids these days say, takes shit from no one. “Wolfie!" Freddy said in a displeased tone and gave the wolf a stern look.

The wolf glanced to Josh who just smiled at her, she stopped growling and exhaled sharply, “fine!" she complained and looked to Chica, “Just the first thing, and only once, in front of us four."

Chica looked ready to argue, but huffed, “Fine, alright, I'll do it …" she grumbled with displeasure before stepping away from the others whom watched her intently. Chica stopped with her back to them and huffed. Suddenly she spun around with a great beaming smile and started singing. “I'm a little teapot short and stout,"

Freddy and Joshua immediately covered their mouths to cage their laughter, Chica's right eye noticeably twitched but she continued by putting one hand on her hip then the other lifted like a serpent or a teapot spout.

“Here's is my handle, here is my spout, when the kettle's boiling hear me shout," she tilted to the side, “tip me up and pour me out."

Joshua had turned around while Freddy needed a table to stop himself from falling over, Bonnie just smiled shyly while Wolfie just looked at Chica with a victorious smug grin. Chica immediately dropped her arms, her over happy smile and glared at Wolfie and pointed at the accursed wolf.

“I'm gunna kill you Wolfie, I'm gunna find your instruction manual and take you apart piece by piece!" Chica threatened, “Damn it Freddy, stop laughing!" she all but yelled in frustration.

“I am truly sorry Chica," Freddy apologised through his laughter, “but I hadn't expected that, and it … and it was so beautiful." He continued to laugh.

If Chica could blush, she would have, “Oh shut up." She pouted and crossed her arms. She glared to Josh, “oh you can stop it too, go have fun with your girlfriend!"

That shut Wolfie and Joshua up immediately.

“You've got a girlfriend Josh?" Bonnie said excitedly as he turned towards Josh, “Do we know her?"

“Uuhhhh." Joshua rubbed his now aching jaw and turned away from Bonnie.

“It's no one we know." Freddy lied as he tried to push down his laugher.

Chica seemed pleased with the sudden derailment of laughter as Wolfie glared at her whom was then nudged by Bonnie.

“Gee I bet you're gunna be a little jealous huh Wolfie? Your best friend got himself a special girl!" Bonnie exclaimed slyly.

Chica couldn't help but smack her hand against her face mutter a “Oh Bonnie."

“Yeah … whatever." Wolfie growled and looked away.

“Come on now everyone, I think it's time we stopped poking fun at one another, at least for tonight." Freddy said wisely hoping to diffuse the situation before it got any worse.

“Why don't we play some music?" Bonnie suggested as he raised his guitar.

“Yes, lets." He looked to the two female based machines, neither of them had seemed to have relaxed, “girls come on now, let's enjoy the rest of our night." Freddy said calmly, hoping they'd respond.

“Yeah okay." Chica relented and uncrossed her arms.

“You're right Fred." Wolfie replied then clapped her hands together, “So music, suggestions?"

“Not more of that weird music you like." Chica complained and looked at Wolfie.

“There's nothing wrong with heavy metal!" Wolfie shot back.

“Other than the fact it's not child friendly." Freddy responded with a roll of his eyes.

“How about we do a bit of everything?" Joshua suggested.

“Wonderful idea Josh." Freddy said as he looked to the young man.

“Oh Josh can help me on guitar!" Bonnie said with excitement, “I'll go get the other guitar." With that the overly excited bunny rushed off.

“How are lessons going by the way?" Freddy asked Joshua.

“Bonnie's a good teacher, I feel I'm a little confidant playing now." Joshua replied.

It had started about a month or two ago, Bonnie was practising with his guitar when Joshua asked if it was hard to learn, only for the bunny in question to shake his head and reminded Joshua that playing guitar was programmed into him. It had been Josh had asked if Bonnie would be able to teach him, suffice to say the purple bunny was ecstatic with the idea and allowed Joshua to use one of the spare guitars from parts and service. From there the bunny had taken some time every night to teach Joshua all his data banks could teach him.

Bonnie returned with another guitar, a red one, a little on the big side considering it was made for the animatronics in mind; Bonnie specifically. Now they could all play guitar even if just the basics, but they all agreed Bonnie was the best guitarist and it wasn't just from programming, the bunny had practised further for many years and had developed the skill to amazing levels.

“Here ya go Josh." Bonnie said as he handed it over.

“Thanks Bon." Joshua replied and accept the instrument, grunting a little at the weight.

The animatronics and Joshua moved onto the stage, there was ample room for all of them as it was a fairly large stage.

“Okay so," Chica began.

“Hey Freddy, did you look up that old song I told you about?" Joshua asked.

“I did, and I really liked it, definitely something to my taste." Freddy replied, he'd been able to find the song Joshua mentioned through vast archives of music on the internet, “I showed Bonnie and I was wondering if you would mind if we played it?"

“What song?" Chica asked looking between Freddy, Bonnie and Josh.

“Why don't we show you, while you three pull up a chair." Freddy suggested.

The three of them looked to one another, shrugged and agreed wordlessly before climbing down from the stage, pulled up two seat, and watched the boys.

Freddy waited till the others were settled before nodding his head to Bonnie, the bunny began plucking the guitar strings in a slow and concise manner, it was difficult and had taken Bonnie some time to find a way to make his guitar mimic the sound of a piano, not perfectly, but enough for the song.

Freddy turned back to his audience and opened his mouth, “Oh, I need a dollar, dollar. A dollar is what I need …"

The song continued, Chica, Wolfie and Josh watched the pair on stage in amazement, Freddy's voice perfectly suited the song, a song that felt like it'd been plucked out of early 1930s' America, a song of misery, lack of money, the need of a sympathetic ear and the loan of a single dollar, if this had been the 90s' pizzeria the song would have been fit perfectly.

“… come on and share your dollar with meee-eeeeee." Freddy's voice faded out as he finished singing while Bonnie continued to play until the final note was struck. Bunny and bear looked to one another then to their audience and bowed. The others rose from their seat and applauded the duo, Joshua even put his fingers to his lips and whistled.

“Fantastic job!"

“Amazing!"

“Great show guys!"

The remainder of the night continued in a similar fashion, some would go up on stage and play songs from different ages, different genres, Wolfie even held off on her love for heavy metal instead singing more popular rock n' roll songs. Sadly, 6am came around quicker than they wanted and the animatronics were forced to return to their positions. Farewells were given until the following night, the early morning cleaning crew same in a little after six just as Joshua was leaving.

“See ya later kid." One of the cleaners called to him.

“See ya." Joshua called back as he made his trek home, pausing for only a moment to look once more at the “Katie's" restaurant. He only hoped Freddy and himself were right about this whole thing. He exhaled and left.

The old man within the bathrooms awoke then yawned before wiping the sleep from his eyes and looked around the room he was in, it was a cubicle, a bathroom cubicle, how strange. So last night hadn't been a dream, he'd eaten and slept in warmth, he smiled then noticed a note on the door.

“Guard left at six, cleaning crew inside, leave via back door, keep quiet, avoid cameras. Glad to see you slept well, feel free to return tomorrow."

Once more it was signed “a friend". Did he have a guardian angel? Or were the horror stories real, was this place haunted by the dead kids from the 80s and 90s? He didn't know, didn't care. Real life was much scarier than any ghost story, stood up and stretched before taking the note and quietly exited the bathroom, the cleaning crew were on the other side of the restaurant which was good, he had a perfect opportunity to escape and did so. Avoiding the cameras best he could he left via the back door with its broken lock and stepped out into the fresh air and the warm-ish sun. With his hands in his pants pockets he walked off, to ensure no one would think he'd just left the building, once a fair enough distance away he paused, turned and gazed at the old pizzeria, he didn't know who'd fed him, but he thanked God or whatever deity that existed in the heavens for that person. Then he turned back around and walked back into the densely populated city.

9am and a phone was ringing. The device released a god awful glaring horn that awoke the nearby occupant who picked up the receiver and brought it to his ear.

“The fuck you want?" the man groaned out while suffering from a hangover.

“How'd you like to make 10K for a night's work?" the voice on the other side began.

That got the man's attention who sat up, hangover instantly forgotten, “This better not be a fuckin' joke."

“No joke, get you and your boys all washed up, I'm coming over with a job proposal." The voice said before hanging up.

“Fuckin' A." the man groaned before putting down the receiver and stood up from the withered couch, he was a fairly intimidating figure, standing about six feet tall, dark dirty leather jacket, long greasy black hair, and unkempt facial hair. “HEY FUCK BOYS! GET UP!" he yelled out and grimaced at his own volume.

“What you yellin' man?" one asked groggily from the floor.

“10 K got my yellin' man, for one nights work, cue balls comin' over and wants us lookin' nice, so get up and go get the boys." The first one ordered before kicking the other in the side. “Get up bitch!" he ordered again getting a grunt and a confirmation from the other before he stumbled off towards the nearest bathroom to piss and puke.

Some minutes later the man and his boys, whom numbers in eight in total, were gathered around an old warn wooden table inside their home, which was an abandoned building they'd fixed up for their needs, dust was everywhere and light only just pierced through the grime on the windows. In front of them was the man they dubbed “Cue ball" because of his large fat bald head.

“So, this 10K." the lead man, Rufus, began.

“Ten thousand dollars, more as a bonus if you pull this off perfectly." Cue ball replied, which grabbed the others attention even more.

“So, what needs doin'?" Rufus asked getting straight to the point.

“My employer has started a new venture and wants the competition removed; or at the very least, crippled." Cue ball informed them.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaand?" Rufus dragged out impatiently, looking at the bald guy with frustration, “I want the job, not your boss' life story."

“My boss is opening up a pizzeria and wants you to shut down Freddy Fazbear's." Cue ball summed out. “All the while making it look like a random act of violence."

Silence.

Several moments of it.

Not a muscle was moved, until.

“What?" one of Rufus' boys questioned.

“Break in to Freddy's and trash the place." Cue ball replied.

“For ten-thousand?" Rufus asked.

“Ten thousand." Cue ball confirmed.

Rufus and his boys looked at one another before focusing back on cueball.

“Alright." Rufus shrugged. “But how? Last bust up, the cops took our shit, before we could get it back." That hadn't been a good operation for them.

Cue ball smirked. “I knew you'd ask that, follow me to my car." Cue ball stood up from his chair and walked out of the building, the sounds of Rufus and his boys following was heard. “We wanted this done right this time."

“Hey fuck you man! You and your boss didn't say we'd be dealing with the fuckin' Riptides!" Rufus shot back angrily from behind Cue ball.

The Riptides had been a rival gang, not major leagues, but not small time and were known to the police, they had a weird tribal gladiator theme going on, face paint, make-shift body armour, long knives, machetes and gun, lots of fucking guns. Cue ball and his boss had given a job to steal some certain items, all the time not having told them they had competition to deal with. In the end Rufus and Co, had come face to face with the Riptides and more than little blood was shed, bullets flew across the air and blood painted the walls and floor, the cops had arrived at the last second just to clean up as Rufus and what was left of his gang had escaped, the rest of the Riptides had been shot down by the police after the Riptides opened fire. Suffice to say no Riptide walked away that night.

“You didn't need to know, besides you got away right? So no harm, no foul." Cue ball replied easily as they approached his car, “regardless, this time you're going in a little over prepared." Cue ball grabbed the handle of his car's trunk and opened before stepping aside. “Merry Christmas" he joked as the boys got in close.

Their eyes opened slight with delight as they scanned each particular item that laid inside.

“This shit is nice." One of Rufus' boys declared.

Rufus however seemed hesitant, curious even. He wasn't the boss just because he could give orders.

“It is … too nice, what the fuck are you expecting?" Rufus demanded to know as he looked at Cue ball, “Freddy's Pizza? We could pull a fucking' BANK RAID with this shit!"

“As I said, over prepared just in case." Cue ball replied.

“What you thinkin' the robots all fucked up like in the 80s and 90s?" Rufus asked.

“Just in case, however as I said the worse the state Freddy's is in the better." Cue ball explained.

“Security?" Rufus asked.

“Some punk kid." Cue ball replied.

Rufus said nothing as he mulled it over, they needed the money, and 10 grand was great for a nights work, his gaze focused once again on Cue ball and he pointed to the items in the car. “We get to keep this shit, all of it." He demanded.

Cue ball just shrugged without a care, “Sure, those tools and the money will be yours to keep."

Rufus looked back to the trunk full of delightful goodies and picked up one particular item by its wooden grip and brought it to eye level; delicious blued finished that shined in the light of sun, a nice six-inch barrel with the words “.357 Magnum" inscribed in tiny writing.

“Sure, you got a deal, when do we hit?"
