	Techie was always handy with machinery, in fact that's how he got his college degree. By robotics and machinery. Yes he was near his last days in Manehatten, he was a loner here, his parents are dead, he has no money in his pockets, and he has so much unused talent. It wasn't until two days after he got out of college he tried to get a job to get money so that he can leave Manehatten. When he was looking around for a job, he found a place that needed an overnight security guard at a place called "Freddy Fazbears Pizzeria" So he decided to try to get a job doing that, since it paid 120 bits a week he figured that he would only need to work there for only his first week. He would do anything just to get out of Manehatten. The next morning he went to the pizzeria for the interview.

"Hi, my name is Techie Hoof." Techie said with glee. The pony he was meeting was a middle aged fellow who was balding and had a porn star mustache. His name was Lazed Clipboard.

"Hey kid, so you're here for the night job?" He asked drinking his coffee.

"Sure am!" Techie said with his same chipper tone.

"Well, since nopony really applied for the job, I guess we don't really need to do this, uh. You got the job kid." He said sounding, depressed and tired.

"Uh... Thanks." This caught Techie off guard. He thought that getting a job would be the hardest thing. But he didn't pay it no mind, since the pay was cheap he was sure nopony would want to work for a week for a small amount of bits. So with a hoofshake Techie accepted the job. But he then was given a small paper by Lazed Clipboard that said,

Freddy Fazbears Pizzeria is not responsible for any injuries or deaths that occur. And all that professional nonsense. Techie didn't pay it no mind and signed it. But the one thing that made him uncomfortable was he saw the word 'death' in the contract. But since that's a one in a million chance of happening he didn't take it seriously.

"So, when do I start?" Techie asked. Lazed looked at him with tired eyes.

"Well, it's Sunday so... Tomorrow night.. At midnight." He said sounding like he was going to pass out any minute. So with that Techie left the office. When he left he decided to do a little research on the place before he started. He went to the local news stand. In that stand was an old pony named Ink Print.

"Hey Ink Print." Techie said casually. He knew this old stallions name because when Techie was a young boy he would always go to Ink Print's stand to get a comic book, or to just have a friendly conversation. "Got anything on Freddy Fazbears Pizzeria?" Techie asked. This made Ink Print's head shoot up from it's original hanging position.

"I haven't heard that name in years Techie. How do you know about that place?" He asked with a fearful voice.

"I got a job there, I'm only going to work there for about five days or so. I just need money to get out of here. Too much bad memories here you know?" Techie said looking around for anything that had to do with the pizzeria.

"Oh, my boy. I really don't think you should take that job." Ink said as he gave Techie an old news page. Probably from the 1980's or late 70's.

"Why? What's wrong with this place? It's just some kid restaurant." Techie said casually as he read the newspaper. It talked about the opening of the place in 1975. Then the 10 year anniversary in 1985 when it became a huge success. But in it's early stages of business it was simply called 'Pizza Place'. But in 1977 it was bought by surprisingly Lazed Clipboard. And he renamed it 'Freddy Fazbears Pizzeria'. 

"Oh no my boy, it gets a lot more deeper than that. Maybe I'll tell ya when you're older." This caught Techie off guard, he was at least 20 why would Ink Print say that? Then again, he is over 80 so Techie cut him some slack. It was starting to get late so he was about to pay for the newspapers but Ink said he can have them for free, since they were so old. Techie looked through all but one page, which he didn't really worry about, since he learned everything he needed to know. When he got to his apartment he ran into his friend and secret crush at the time, a pegasus named Shimmering Nectar.

"Oh, hey Nectar. What's up?" Techie asked sounding very tired.

"Oh nothing Techie, just checking my mail." She said with glee. Techie didn't know why he liked her, maybe he was just desperate, maybe he was just wanting to love somepony. He didn't know what attracted him towards her. It was just an invisible force that made him want her. But he's never had courage to ask her out or anything.

"Oh, alright. Goodnight Nectar." Before he got a chance to turn towards the stairs that lead to his apartment. Nectar asked him,

"What's with all the papers?" She asked with curiosity.

"Oh these? They're just old papers I read so I can get the gist of my new job at this Freddy Fazbears place. Nothing too special." Suddenly Nectar's face lit up with surprised happiness.

"You mean Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria?" She asked with joy.

"Yeah, why?" Techie asked with confusion.

"I loved that place when I was a little filly! It's still open?" She asked.

"Yeah I guess. But I'm only going to work there for about five days or so. I'm getting payed 120 bits a week. After my first pay I'm leaving this place. With my parents death and all this bad stuff going on, I just have to get out of here." Techie said with a hint of sadness.

"Oh, well that's a bummer. Well I hope you have fun at your new job Techie!" Nectar said with glee, as she walked off with her mail in her left wing. Techie watched her as she left, wishing that she would follow him to his apartment. But shaking off his lust for Nectar he headed up the stairs to his apartment. He opened the door to see some boxes laying around with his stuff in it. He was packing up and getting ready to move out. His home wasn't completely empty, but it didn't have much in it. He dropped the papers on a box, went to the fridge and pulled out a sandwich. After he finished it he went to bed. He had trouble sleeping though, he had so much going through his mind. Like his new job and what might happen, what Ink Print was talking about earlier, and his secret crush for Nectar. He didn't want to leave Manehatten, it was his hometown, he had so much friends there, but he just knew that maybe it was best for him. He felt as if, there was something waiting for him outside of Manehatten. But all this thinking made him tired, which made him sleep. 

The next morning was very energetic for Techie. He had to get ready for his new job. He then would be able to leave Manehatten. Then it hit him, he needed to get a feeling on what his new job looked like. So after he finished his breakfast he packed some more stuff in boxes then he left. The Pizzeria wasn't too far away. Actually it was only a few blocks away. He passed Ink Prints shop which wasn't open yet. And finally made it to Freddy Fazbears Pizzeria. 

When he entered it was packed with kids. The smell of pizza hit his nostrils and made him shudder on account of the smell. It smelt burnt, rotten, and greasy. The setting was unsettling as well, it was dim, with the only light source coming from games and overhanging lamps in the dining area. There were two big stages, one that had a three giant robotic animals, a bear with a top hat, a duck with a bib on it's chest that said 'lets eat', and the other one was a giant purple rabbit with a guitar. They weren't moving however, they looked as if they were off. But Techie could have sworn the duck robot, blinked. The other stage was closed off, it had giant letters above the curtains that read 'Pirate Cove'. And there was a small sign on the stage that read 'Out of Order'. After looking more at his surroundings he finally went up to the mare who gave the little stamp on your child's hoof as they entered. But he was stopped by her.

"Sorry sir, you can't enter without a child." This didn't really surprise Techie, they had to keep some security around this place other than the cameras that hung from corners of the ceiling. He wouldn't be surprised if he found some middle aged stallions perving on some little kids. He then showed the mare his name tag and told her he works the night shift and was just getting the view of his new workplace. Realizing this she quickly let him in. As he went further into the building he found some more games, restrooms and  other stuff you might find at a kid's restaurant. He decided to get closer to the stage to get a better view of the animals that weren't moving. He got as close as he could until he was stopped by a rope with a sign that said, 'Don't go past this line!'. He wondered why though, it was just some robotic animals. Speaking of, Techie noticed that some wires, and mechanical parts were visible.

"*Pfft* Pathetic, couldn't even find the time to make more parts for the robots." As he said this the robotic bear's eyes turned on and Techie jumped back when he heard his overly loud voice.

"HEY EVERYONE!" The robot yelled, the children rushed to where Techie was standing, he quickly got out of the way of the stampede of the little colts and fillies. Then the chicken turned on and yelled.

"HELLO COLTS AND FILLIES!" This startled Techie, but not that much he knew that robotic mascots weren't the quietest. But as he listened more he heard something odd. When the robotic rabit introduced himself, his voice glitched. 

"I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND BONNIE BU-BU-BU-BUNNY!" This actually made Techie laugh, whoever programmed this robot didn't do a really good job at it. But his laughter quickly ended when he heard the the duck say her lines. Apparently it's name was Chica, the others were Bonnie and Freddy. Obviously Freddy was the leader of the bunch since his name is in the restaurants name. But what Chica said was so chilling it made Techie cower in fear behind a small colt. The robot said,

"I COULD USE SOME MORE MORE MORE 'HELP ME' PIZZA!" 

Was that a joke or something? Techie thought walking away from the crowd of kids. Apparently he was there longer than he thought, he got there around five o' clock now it was seven o' clock. As he was walking out the doors so he could grab a bite to eat. He didn't want to eat the pizza here, if it smelt horrible then it probably tasted worse. He would just go to a small diner to eat a soup or salad or something, but he was stopped by Lazed Clipboard.

"Hey kid, you're here early." He said sounding surprised.

"Yeah, I just wanted to see where I'll be working is all." He said with a worried smirk.

"Oh, then you're in the wrong area, here follow me kid." lazed Clipboard gestured Techie to follow him down a hall. As they went down it got dimmer and dimmer. Techie took this as a chance to ask Lazed why the robots were glitching out.

"Hey, uh boss, um why were the robots on the stage glitching out earlier?" He asked, He could see that Lazed Clipboard was hoping that he wouldn't ask that question.

"Well, you know uh, they've been here for so long so they've been shorting out for a while now." Techie took this opportunity to reveal his technological talent.

"Well, I could fix them for ya if you want. I'm pretty good at technology and programming and I-" Lazed Clipboard stopped him in mid sentence.

"Look kid, I don't need help with that. I uh, have ponies on the side willing to do it for no extra pay so yeah, anyways you'll be working here Techie." Lazed showed Techie his working quarters. It was a small room with a couple pictures on the wall, a small tape recorder on a table, a fan, an overhanging light, and a set of buttons on each side, one was red and the other button was green. Lazed showed Techie what they were for.

"Alright kid now listen, this green button lights up the hallway on this side and to you right, it does the same thing. Now the red button... That is for emergencies. ONLY!" Lazed said in a stressful tone. Techie took this as a surprise, why would he need a button that made two iron doors go on lock down in a child's restaurant? Lazed then checked the clock on the wall and said, 

"Well kid, it's ten o' clock, closing time. You got two more hours. As they stood there a new pony came in, he looked like a middle aged unicorn with orange fur and grayish white mane. He gives Techie a hoofshake and greets himself.

"Hello there, may name's Camera Lens, I'll be working here until you take over for tonight." He said with a wide smile, Techie thought what could be so bad about this job, Camera Lens didn't look like he had a hard time with the job. Techie thought that this would be a cinch. Camera then took a seat in the back of the room, where he was able to reach both buttons and then he pulled out a small tablet, Techie was very familiar with that object because he remembers his father talking about working on something like that in his business, it was a piece of technology that enabled someone to view all security cameras as they record the area. They are connected to the tablet with a code and this code had to be the same one for each camera, otherwise it wouldn't work. It was one of the last and most impressive inventions Techie's father ever released. 

Techie decided he would take this time to take a small tour of the place, even though he had about a few hours ago, he still felt like there was something else in the building. As he walked he found a single door that said

Supply Closet

Techie was about to turn the knob, but Lazed stopped him mid turn.

"What's wrong boss?" He asked casually.

"Uh, you can't go in here, it's uh... Under construction!" Lazed said with sweat rolling down his forehead.

"Why would a supply closet need construction?" Techie asked. Lazed made eye contact with Camera Lens who was watching the whole thing unfold. They quickly thought up of a lie.

"It's uh, it was a leaking problem, one day the sink in there overflowed and damped everything, now it's just a room without a floor. If you were to go in, you would fall into sewage and a pit." Camera Lens said while trying to keep his cool.

"Right, got it." Techie said looking at the both of them like they knew something he didn't. Two hours passed without hesitation and before he knew it, Techie was sitting in the same seat Camera Lens sat in before him, as he watched Camera Lens pack up his stuff Camera Lens turned to Techie with a worried face.

"Look Techie, here's some words of advise. Don't wonder the building... You uh, can get lost easily, second do not go near Pirates Cove or any of the robotic animals, they uh, have motion censored cameras in their eyes, so if you walk in front of them, they will turn on and... Let's just say they are the hardest things to turn off. Last thing, be sure to check on Pirates Cove periodically." Camera said with a very serious face and tone.

"OK, why Pirates Cove?" Techie asked, but Camera acted as if he couldn't hear him. So Techie just kept the question to himself. After a couple more minutes Camera was packed up and ready to go. But before he left, he said one last word,

"And don't go in the supply closet!" He sad with a stern tone, Techie found this as odd, he knew that they didn't want him to go in there, but why would they stress over it? Finally Camera left and Techie was alone. His first night at Freddy's would soon become his deepest and darkest secret.
