Fluttershy nervously looked around. She was in a room that she had never seen before. A single lamp provided minimum light to the entire room. Darkened objects were leaning against the dark red walls while a large screen showed several… things. From what she could see, there was a stringy clown, a large owl, something with too many eyes, a red figure, an animal wrapped up in paper, a boy with a square head, and a large egg.
The record player next to her crackled to life. “Hi!” a tinny voice said from it. “My name is Flumpty Bumpty! I’m an egg, I’m immune to the plot, and I can transcend time and space. I have grabbed you to play a little game. Just try to survive till 6:00 am. Also, I’m coming after you. You can figure out the rest. Have fun~!”
What followed was a night of terror unlike anything she had ever experienced, even more terrifying than the mocking laughter. Each of the things, much more terrifying than anything she had seen before, came for her. It was only through blind luck that she was able to figure out the door system, but even that didn’t work for long. Before too long, Flumpty himself stood before her.
“Ah, you didn’t last as long as the other guys,” the egg said with fake sympathy dripping from his voice. “Oh, well, I had fun at least. Too bad for you, losing carries a steep price!” he cackled, reaching for her.

But the egg was stopped. Suddenly standing between him and the tiny pony was a large bear, with his skin covered in dark grey scars. He was wearing a black hat, and three smaller versions of him were sitting on his shoulders. The bear spoke in a dark baritone, "OH, WHAT A GIFT TO CHERISH. A VICTIM THAT CANNOT PERISH.”
A burst of flame heralded the arrival of another creature, a large chicken that was on fire. “IS IT HOT IN HERE?” she asked. “OR IS IT JUST ME?”
“YHAR! YOU SHOULD NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A PIRATE!” a scarred fox with a too-long tongue cried. “OR A FOX, FOR THAT MATTER!”
“JUST FACE THE FACTS,” a large rabbit added, coming out from behind the fox. “YOU WERE ALWAYS DOOMED TO FAIL.”
Flumpty stamped a foot. “No fair, no fair, no fair!” he cried. “You’re not supposed to be here!”
“Oh, BuT wE aRe,” an enormous black bear intoned, his hat nearly scrapping the ceiling. “By OuR pAcT, yOu ArE tHe OnE bReAkInG aN aGrEeMeNt. ThIs ChIlD iS uNdEr OuR pRoTeCtIoN.”
Flumpty paled. “Please Nightmare! Spare me! I didn’t know-”
“tHaT’s WhAt YoU aLwAyS sAy,” the black bear said. Turning to Fluttershy, he added, “ReTuRn To ThE wAkInG wOrLd, YoUnG oNe. YoU hAvE nOtHiNg To FeAr FrOm Me Or MiNe.” Turning away from her, he spoke to something not there. "He Is AlL yOuRs, My ApPrEnTiCe."
A scarred golden bear that stood nearly as tall as the black bear reached for Flumpty. "LET'S SEE HOW MANY TIMES YOU CAN BE PULLED APART," he said in a sad voice.
The world turned black as Flumpty’s screams echoed in her ears.
April 1, 1990
“-shy! Wake up!”
Fluttershy jerked awake, seeing a worried Freddy and Chica standing over her. Words spilled out of her, as she babbled about animatronic mummies, giant eggs, and mismatched monsters.
Freddy glared at Chica as he held Fluttershy. “Next time, don’t experiment with eggs,” he said.
“Agreed,” she answered, looking queasy.
Nobody noticed as a being wearing a yellow hat floated into the walls.
