The five soon approached the pizzeria that Pinkie had described. It had a blue and purple roof, with four characters on the sign. They looked like pony versions of a bear, bunny, chick, and fox. It looked like a very happy place; someplace Pinkie would never want to leave.

"Ah think we found where she is," Applejack remarked, looking at the sign. It also said "Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria" on it.

Fluttershy beamed. "Ooh! There are animals in here! What a great concept!" She then hovered into the air as Twilight looked up to her.

"It does seem nice. But we have to find Pinkie Pie before we can interact with the pony-animal things," Twilight responded, raising an eyebrow. "I wonder why they have them look like ponies."

Rainbow Dash waved a hoof. "Who cares? We need to find Pinkie!" Dash then flew over to the doors; her friends following closely behind.

When the five entered, they were engulfed by the fresh smell of pizza. They looked around to see many fillies and colts laughing, singing a song. Soon, they saw three animatronics step onto the stage.

The first was a purple one. It had the ears of a bunny, but stood on four hooves, just like the sign. The next one was a mixture of a chick and a pony. It had a bib that said, "Let's Eat". The final one to step out was a mix of a bear and a pony. They then cued up the mic, and started performing a song. The foals danced, giggling the whole time.

Rarity smiled. "It's such a cute idea! The animatronics sure could use a little fixing up, though. They look a little..."

"Creepy. There is no other word for it," Rainbow Dash interrupted, looking at the yellow one who looked back at her. "This yellow one is staring me down like it knows me."

They looked over to see the animatronic not taking its eyes off of them. Rainbow turned her head away.

"Uh... let's go and find Pinkie," she said, running away.

The four stared at her as she ran into another room.

"...Rainbow?" Twilight questioned as she flew over to Rainbow Dash.

"Are you alright, darling?" Rarity asked when she was next to Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow looked back up; a look of confusion trapped in her eyes. "I'm not sure, but the gaze of that yellow one felt really familiar."

Applejack raised an eyebrow. "What'ya mean?"

Rainbow looked to the ground. "I-I don't know. I can't place my hoof on it, but it seems really familiar."

"I think they're all cute animatronics. I don't know what you find creepy about them, Rainbow," Fluttershy responded as Rainbow looked up at her.

"I don't know why, either. It just seems like they... well... were watching me. Especially the yellow one."

Twilight thought for a moment. "Well... I don't think I noticed it. Now, we must ask if they know where Pinkie is-"

Twilight was cut off by Rainbow flying up. "Uh... yeah. You guys can. I'm gonna get out of here!" Rainbow then flew out in a blur, forcing the doors open.

"What's up with her? There is nothing wrong with this place," Rarity remarked, looking around the room. She quickly took notice of the many security cameras scattered around. It did seem a little... creepy. She shook it off and looked over at her friends.

Twilight shook her head. "I'm not sure. But for now, let's ask about Pinkie Pie. I imagine she got a job here without telling. This seems like the perfect place for her."

Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy nodded their heads as they followed Twilight to a nearby counter.
