After Pinkie Pie opens up her own Entertainment Venue, her friends inexplicably go missing. An intrepid investigator, by the name of Guarding Grape, tasks himself with working at the Place in an attempt at finding out what happened to them, but what he doesn't expect is what horrors lie within those walls...

Director's Commentary: https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/1040101/pinkies-fun-palace-directors-commentary
It is rather mess up that Pinkie Pie have just allow her bestest friends to be "sacrificed" by this version of quite possibly William Afton ( Aka Springtrap/Scraptrap/Glitchtrap/Malware/Burntrap. ).
Than just defy him, and tell Twilight and the others the truth before it was too late.

Well let's just say she tried to resist, but HIS control was too strong
"Sanity and Fear" Bars on his Name Tag? Is that going to be updated during later nights?
And I'm a bit confused that they still mistake regular and innocent security guard ponies as the "murderer" like in the games?
Didn't Pinkie Pie actually killed her bestest friends, but against her will?
I thought they would rather start distrusting and hating her, instead of Grape or the other previous security guard ponies?
I don't know how somebody powerful like Discord didn't resolve this or find Fluttershy and the others sooner?

To answer each of the questions
1- I'm not sure, maybe i will, but i'm still unsure.
2- They're only really aggressive towards Grape, as for why, that will be explained later. They mostly left the previous nightguard alone, but they were really freaked out by their behavior, so they left.
3- To quote William Afton in The Silver Eyes, "The dead do forget.", they don't remember exactly who killed them, they only remember that they were killed, with the only exception being Rainbow Dash (who is yet to be introduced), who remembers Pinkie, but doesn't remember her killing her, but instead, trying to save her. (this will be explained later as well.)
4- Discord is busy trying to take care of Fluttershy's animals. He doesn't have a lot of free time anymore. He's so focused on "trying to make Fluttershy proud of him" that he doesn't even think of the possibility of using his magic to find her.
Cassidy and Charlie ( The children spirits of Golden Freddy and Puppet/Marionette )!!??
So, this story does have a connection with FNAF?
And I'm almost hoping that the Royal Alicorns ( Celestia/Luna/Cadence. ), Discord, Spike, CMC, Shining/Big Mac/Zephyr, Maud/Marble/Limestone, the parents/Granny Smith all get their own revenge/vengeance against the purple p**ck for what he did.
I also just realized that he also jeopardized Equestria's safety because most of the heroes are tragically died.
11888143
To answer the first two questions, yes, it is them. I plan on explaining how they and he ended up in the MLP universe eventually.
For the vengeance part, i'm saving that for a possible sequel
And as for the jeopardizing Equestria's safety part, I'll confirm this now, most of the villains have already been dealt with, or are just straight up dead. For example, Starlight has already been redeemed, Tirek is still stuck in Tartarus, Chrysalis died in this timeline's version of "To where and back again", and Sombra died after this timeline's version of the season 3 premiere. The only villain that is still around is Cozy Glow, but again, i'm saving her for a possible sequel.
Edit: Finished.
I still don't get HOW they HEAVILY mistake Grape as William!?
I mean, not only is the REAL Killer doesn't even have a pony body of his own, and just possesses Pinkie Pie to do the killing.
Grape himself wasn't even at the restaurant one year ago back then?
I know that being dead and possessing the animatronics messes with your memories, but come on!? Have some common sense?
At least the original five kids have a viable "excuse" to mistake the many innocent security guards with Will. Afton.
Because, at least the five kids vaguely remember that it was him wearing a security guard uniform as a disguise, and was dressed in his Spring Bonnie suit.
The Mane Five doesn't have this excuse, when Grape wasn't even there, and the main villain doesn't even have a body and just possesses Pinkie Pie?
Do you understand my frustration by this?
A freaking spring lock suit exist? Twilight WOULDN'T be a genius if she realized how it's a literal death trap of a Iron Maiden those spring locks are!
And it's a deadly coincidence that this suit is specifically for Pinkie Pie?
.............. [ Realization ] OH NO!
Pinkie Pie is not going to survive this either, does she?
Like I said before, Grape wasn't even there back then?
Plus, He possesses Pinkie Pie, and forced her to kill them. So, I still don't know how they will know not only Pinkie is innocent. But, also learned the very vague prescription of William, when he doesn't even have a original body in the first place!?
Wait? If they got their clue of knowing William being Violet Purple?
Do they heavily mistake Grape, just because he is coincidentally a slightly purple earth pony!!?? 🍇 🟣
Really, Grape? 🍇
You just had to jinx yourself!?
And believe me, Night Five will definitely not be easier. Or Night Six or even Night 7/Custom Night/20 Difficulty Mode!!!
Considering the fact that he already knows that the Mane Six ARE the animatronics ( Somehow. Still doesn't know about the evolvement of Golden Freddy/Puppet as of yet. ), there is a high chance that he will most definitely believe you.
But, him believing you about your "innocence"? Being possessed by a heartless monster of a iconic mascot horror villain?
It will be a bit harder to believe that, without evidence. But then again, it will be a total danger if you-know-know takes over once again.
Finally! Unlike with Vanny/Vanessa, Pinkie Pie is now going to expose the truth and talking about William Afton.
11890552
You good?
11890577
Don't worry, just too busy watching YouTube right now.
I will eventually finished what I have to say before today ends.
11890594
ok
11890600
I'm now done. You can look what I said.
11890552
To answer each question:
There will be an explanation for it. It's kind of stupid, but it's the best i could come up with, unfortunely.
Twilight's invention is not exactly a Springlock suit. I can say its safer than one (She did think of the potential danger of such a suit, unlike Henry and/or William in the original Fnaf story), as she made sure it was absolutely safe to wear.
No. They mistake him for a different reason. An arguably equally as stupid reason, but a different reason never the less.
Yes. You know what they say, give your characters a few Ls every now and then.
There won't be a night 6 or custom night. Not a canon one anyway.
11891108
A "stupid reason" you say?
Would Grape rightfully be upset at them for attacking him for a very dumb/stupid reason, and call them out for it?
11891310
Probably yeah. Although i'm trying to come up with a better explanation, because as i said, the current explanation is kinda dumb. :/
It makes some sense of logic for if you're believing possessed robots, then you could rightfully believe the possession by an pure evil spirit.
And secondly; That means that the likes of Discord, Celestia/Luna/Cadence, and the Mane Six's families will finally know what's going on, and will hopefully all work together to find a way to take Him down permanently!
Oh, a plan to not only finally tamed the Animatronic Mane Five's hostile behavior, but also using your own animatronic suit to your advantage. Nice~~~ Pinkie.
P.S. and a sequence feels like FNAF 4 with the Nightmare Animatronics. But this time, their friendly allies and some sort of pretending to be psychologists to ease Pinkie's mental/emotional guilt?
11891826
Correct! This entire chapter was mostly based around FNaF 4. As for what Pinkie is planning to do with her Animatronic... You'll see... ;)
Also, today's my Birthday! That's pretty cool, right?
11892048
Happy Birthday.
11892064
Thanks!
By this point, he will be so tired of this BS and just kick all of their asses.
Despite being very messed up nightmares, this is still his own mind. And would imagine to defend himself and actually tear them apart as karma at least.
P.S. And I just realized something; Where the Hell is Luna?
She deals with nightmares, so why doesn't she finally show up and actually see the real truth of how the Mane Five become tormented spirits and are wrongfully torturing an innocent pony like Grape?
Pony Ghostbusters? Or those regular guys from paranormal ghost hunting shows?
I hope the Mane Five feel like total A-holes when they finally realized that Grape is just innocent this whole time. While the real killer is actually possessing poor Pinkie.
And have a epiphany, thinking they are probably no better than him for tormenting innocent victims.
I'm actually surprised that Grape only revealed all of this to this OC Ghost Hunter? But not actually informing the Mane Five's own family, and other friends/acquaintances like the three alicorn princesses, Spike, Discord, Starlight, Trixie, etc.....?
So, this is your "explanation"? This isn't really stupid or dumb like you first thought!?
Because, you do realize that this is exactly what I actually said and theorized on why they wrongfully think Grape🍇 is the Killer, just because of his coincidentally slight purple skin appearance?
And it's also the same explanation of why the original five ghost kids wrongfully attacked the other night guards in the original FNAF series. Just because He is coincidentally also wears a night guard uniform while using his Spring Bonnie suit.
History is literally repeating itself?
Welp, I did warn him not to tempt Murphy.

To answer each question (In no particular order):
I'm actually brainstorming the dialogue for that scene as we speak.
She cannot interfere with these dreams due to their paranormal nature. Even if she tried to, the dream has a barrier to prevent anyone from interrupting it. (Can you tell i'm making some of these explanations on the fly yet?)
He either doesn't know about them, or hasn't thought of contacting them, Atleast not yet. Also, how the hell would he even contact the Princesseses as just a normal-ass guy? And also, how would you feel if some guy suddenly called you up and said: "Hey uhhh i know what happened to your daughter, uh she got killed and is currently possessing a robot", like, would you believe that? (Sorry if this one came off as rude, that was not my intention)
It is not because of his skin/coat. It's because of something else. And yes, looking back, i was kinda harsh on myself.
Yes! Glad you caught that reference. They didn't have the guns though. :/
Edit: I'm done. And Happy Mother's Day. 💐 ❤️ 🤗
Yeah, it's a bit of a long story.
Damn! Hate to say it, but that was actually really clever. IF only it was the Real Murder that fell for this.
At least, he didn't get bitten in the head, and lose his frontal lobe as a over cliche.
Seriously, it was actually the eyes!?
I thought it was just his purple color in his body this entire time?
And he is rightfully pissed about this very terrible misunderstanding.
Wow, Fluttershy. Even if Grape 🍇 isn't really the real killer.
You still want to give him a merciful death? Wow, you're Kindness is really something.
Although, if she all finally knows the truth, and officially met the REAL Killer.
I mean, if you all have known what he actually did back on Earth, especially to the poor kids from the very beginning, other characters getting caught in a crossfire from the various games, Vanessa, etc....
Fluttershy, I won't blame you if you have no remorse for him anymore. Because somebody's kindness against a really, really, pure evil, and dark heartless being like him, should have a limit, right?
Wait a minute, this is actually WAY MORE BRUTAL to to die, considering all the FNAF Deaths.
So what you basically did is lying to Fluttershy, and make her option of a "merciful death" very redundant.
Sheesh Twilight, your anger has truly been blinding you, especially that Grape 🍇 is the wrong pony stallion.
Well, well, well.
They finally learned the truth, and glad that they realize that they screwed up very badly.
Making them think that they are no better than the previous MLP Villains/Baddies they have faced in the past.
As for Grape, I hope that he won't forgive them so easily. Considering the nightmares and the many terrible nights.
The Animatronic Mane Five really need to make it up to him.
Sheesh, you're lucky you all haven't seen Cupcake then. Or other MLP Horror/Creepypastas concerning about Pinkie Pie or even your dark/evil selves.
You forgot to fix the color text.
Also, you got me kidding me, he finally got Pinkie too!?
Dang it, I thought she wasn't going to die!?
But, I guess she would be rejoin her friends like this.
Wrong color, you're using Pinkie's color.
Wait........
Aw Hell Naw!!!!
This is a lot better.
Here he is: The Man behind the slaughter.
WILLIAM FREAKING AFTON!!!!!!!!
Poe Dameron: Somehow, He has come back. AGAIN!
11902480
Thanks for pointing that out! I'll fix it once i get home. (I'm at school right now)
11902480
There. It should be fixed now.
By the way, can i ask you something?
11903066
What's up?
11903206
Should i start a blog for people to share fanart? If thats even possible on this site, that is. Also, when i'm done, should i make a blog that is basically a "Director's commentary", where i relate my thought process and reveal some behind the scenes stuff?
11903447
I think you can share different fanart stuff.
But, I don't know about "Director's Commentary" Blog? Never seen that before with other stories?
11903535
Its more of me just explaining how exactly it got to this point. Like, what inspired me to create this fic, the many ideas i came up with for it, some scrapped content, you know?
11903692
Alright, it seems likes you can do that as well in a Blog.
It's just this is probably the first time I seen a author make their stories' "Director's Cut/Commentary" in a Blog? Or if I do not remember?
Usually, other's done it in their Author's Notes or something similar.
11903698
Hey are you there?
11908545
Yeah, just give me some time to wrote my responses to the last two chapters you have recently just made.
I'm busy with real world stuff.
I fixed it.
11909675
Thanks for pointing that out! It should be fixed now
11909675
The Director's Commentary is out! Check it out once you have the time.
Tough read of all time though.... colors are the worst... had to keep switching between dark mode and light mode... it's awful.... for the story it's decent.
11932137
Sorry about that...
11932137
Do you want me to edit the colors to make it easier for orhers to read?
11932385
it's the best course of action. sometimes people do use color for color blind but what's the point if white mode is black and dark mode is white... it just doesn't make any sense to use color...
11932395
I originally did it to help distinguish who was speaking/thinking. But i guess you're right
Cool story
Wonder if there's gonna be a sequel (well its probably "when there's a sequel" but sometimes fics don't make a sequel even if they make a sequel hook ) but this is likely to make a sequel just have a gut feeling with this one
Admittedly it feels a bit rushed in some parts but the epilouge was the best part
11945039
Yeah that's exactly how i feel about it in some parts. As for the sequel part, since im currently working on a different story, it'll probably be a while before i write it. If you want to see my ideas for a sequel, check out the director's commentary.
Excellent story lad! I can't wait for the sequel! If I may inquire, but what is the rarity's music box music? Keep up the good work!
12005302
I imagined it to be Swan Lake, like the one from that FNaF 3 minigame. And the music box that plays before the jumpscare in chapter 8 would be a music box rendition of the MLP theme song
Oh, God...
Coloured text! The spookiest thing of them all!
