> Five Nights with Pinkie > by Catsofwar108 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie wooped into the air. She was going to her most favoritest of all favorite places, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza! Not to mention, she was going to finally investigate the secret Parts/Service. Pinkie struggled to keep her giggles in check. Finally she couldn't hold back the flood anymore, and burst into giggles, rolling all over the place on the train to Manehatten, attracting stares, but did she care? Not in the least. Bouncing into the restaurant, she immediately looked for the manager, Mr. Faz. Mr. Faz was a huge griffin, and Pinkie and him went back many years. Pinkie Pie could remember when he came into town, all sad and dejected about his previous restaurant, but with a little Pinkie Magic, he felt encouraged and decided to make a new one. He had promised Pinkie whenever she came, she could get in free. As Pinkie Pie bounced around looking for Mr. Faz, she saw a shady purple unicorn come in, exiting from a purple carriage. He looked around quickly, then left. Pinkie knew this was weird behavior, even for her, but she figured it was just her imagination. Ponies can't be all bad can they? Mr. Faz was in his office, going through some paperwork. He put a claw to the bridge of his nose. "Why would they do that? It's not like he actually hurts ponies." He sighed then looked at the mountain of paperwork. "And I still haven't found a night guard. What a mess." A pink fuzzy head poked up from behind the paperwork. "Watcha doin'?" Mr. Faz yelped, grabbed an empty Freddy Fazbear head that was sitting nearby and jammed his head into it. Pinkie Pie laughed. "Are we playing dress up? I love dress up! Except for that one time where-" Mr. Faz blinked. It was just Pinkie Pie. "-and then the cake EXPLODED and I-" And surprisingly enough, she was talking really fast. "-and then he got a wand and was all like-" In short, Pinkie Pie is just being Pinkie Pie. "-and that's how wrapping paper was made!" She finished with a triumphant grin. "I should tell you about that time when I played dress up. It's a gem!" Mr. Faz sighed and took off the Freddy head. "Pinkie, it's just a precaution for me, while I'm working the night shift, you understand." "No. I don't! Also I wanted to tell you that I'm going to check out Parts/Service! Bye!" She zoomed down the hallway. "Pinkie! Stop!" She skid to a halt and looked back. "Pinkie, you're not allowed there unless you work here." Pinkie's mane was beginning to be deflated. "B-but that's the entire reason why I came here!" She looked dejected. However she perked up. "Hey, you said you needed a night guard right?" "Pinkie, that's not a good id-" "And you're desperate for one riiiiight?" "Well yes but-" "Then sign me up! Bye!" and this time she reached the Parts/Service room. Mr. Faz stared after her, then quickly grabbed a tablet that was lying nearby. He didn't know how it worked, or why it worked. He just knew it had something to do with fancy shmancy unicorn magic and it could get the job done. He tapped Parts/Service, hoping they didn't activate during the day. He saw Pinkie opening the door, which made a creepy creak noise. He shuddered. "Celestia help her..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Helloooooo! Anypony- well, I guess I should say animatronic, since you are animatronics, or can I just say animatrons? Or can I say Magical Robot Dolls? Are you even dolls. I don't know, it's so exciting! I've always wanted to go back here, except I never got to because I didn't work here! Well I do now! Silly me, saying hi without even seeing who I'm talking to!" She pushed open the door and leaped inside. "Hi! My name's Pinkie Pie and I-" She stopped in midsentence and her hair became flat. "Oh no... What happened to you?" She moved close to Bonnie. His purple rabbit had been decimated, and where his face had been was nothing but an endoskeleton. His arm was completely gone, and parts of his suit was missing. "Where is your face?" Chica was in a similar state to Bonnie, except her eyes were haunting, and her jaw had fallen off, making her endoskeleton's teeth pop out. "Your mouth..." Pinkie wimpered. Foxy was in the worst state. The pirate fox looked like he had been on the wrong end of a mad Fluttershy. "You!" Pinkie looked down at Foxy with sadness. Finally she moved to Freddy. She had no words to her favorite star. He was tattered and beaten, looking like he had gotten a suit that had suffered the wrath of Twilight. Pinkie Pie tentatively put a hoof to Freddy's nose. SQUEEK! She laughed softly. "At least your nose still works..." She made a big sigh. "I guess I'll see you tonight." Her hair poofed. "Is BB selling his super-special-one-of-a-kind-balloon-that-only-appears-once-a-year!? I must have it!" Pinkie zoomed out the door. She didn't hear Freddy Fazbear booting up. She didn't hear him raise up his head. She didn't hear his cry for help. She only heard BB filling up balloons, the happy jingle in Prize Corner, and the new animatronics singing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BB, short for Balloon Boy, was definitely the smallest of all the animatronics. He had a big balloon in one hand, with a sign proclaiming, guess what, BALLOONS! His nose was triangularish, and his face was round, along with his body. Pinkie bounced up to BB. "Hey, can I have a balloon?" BB stared. "Uh, you know, those wonderful floating things!" BB stared. She was beginning to sweat. "Hehehe, h-how about I just go on my way then huh." BB finally spoke, and it wasn't in his normal, happy voice either. This voice was demonic. "Employees don't get balloons." Pinkie jumped in shock. "H-how do you know that. I was only made an employee minutes ago!" "Employees don't get balloons." "B-but-" "Employees don't get balloons." "Hint taken, hint taken!" Pinkie jumped back and ran to Prize Corner. > Night 1: The Craziness Begins > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie hummed a happy tune as she walked. She thought back to the past eight hours. Her happy tune stopped. She remembered how all the animatronics, Toy Freddy, Toy Chica, Toy Bonnie, and even Mangle had repeated in the same creepy voice, "Employees don't get __________." For the toys, blocky filly-friendly characters, they said music. For Mangle, a tangled mass of wires, she said fun time. Fun time! Pinkie was outraged and refused to go near Mangle for at least ten minutes. And she couldn't forget the Puppet. Oh no. His was presents. Presents! The one of the best things in the restaurant, and she wasn't allowed to have because she was an employee! Pinkie huffed. Her frown was there for a long time before she sighted Freddy Fazbear's. Then her frown turned upside down. A whole night. One whole night. Just with her buddies! She had already forgiven them. Maybe they would play a fun game tonight. Like pin the tail on the pony! She could dance with Puppet, play with Mangle, show BB her ballooning kit, and sing songs with the Toys. Yep, there was no doubt about it. "Tonight is going to be the BEST NIGHT EVER! And nothing will ever ruin it!" With that Pinkie galloped the rest of the way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pinkie opened the doors and jumped inside. "SURPRISE!" But instead of the amazing magic robot doll welcoming committee she had imagined, there was nothing except for her voice echoing throughout the large building. She shivered. This was creepier than expected. Suddenly Pinkie pricked up. There were noises. Noises a certain pink pony didn't like. Scratching noises, like plastic against flooring. Her Pinkie Sense activated. "Wait. Left knee twitch. Right knee twitch. Back legs twitch. That means... RUUUUN!!!" And that she did all the way to the office, not stopping to look at the Toys, though she could feel their eyes in her back. All the way to the office, non-stop. She stopped in the office, gasping for breath, just as the clock struck 12. Pinkie looked at her drink that she had somehow managed to carry in, but didn't actually carry in physically. Whenever this happened Pinkie didn't question it. Life was one big game to her, and a moment of being scared was nothing to her. She fell on the floor, giggling her head off. "That was awesomatastic! What else is there to do?" The phone ringed. Pinkie jumped up and answers it. Or at least tries to. The phone keeps ringing. And ringing. And ringing. Pinkie was rapidly losing interest. Then the phone answered itself. Hello? Pinkie Pie? It's Mr. Faz. "Hey Mr. Faz! You would not believe what happened when I got down here! I managed to get a hay smoothie without even trying!" Don't bother trying to answer, because this is a recording. "Oh..." Well, I have to read a legal thing. I know you hate those, but this one is really short, so sit down and look at the tablet. Trust me, it is useful. "Okay!" Pinkie pulled up the tablet, and her eyes grew huge at the magic of it. Squealing, she tapped every single room, over and over and over. She stopped at Prize Corner for the music. Okay, here's the legal thing. Welcome to your new summer job at the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. I'm here to talk you through some of the things you can expect to see during your first week here and to help you get started down this new and exciting career path. See. Done. Easy peasy. "Lemon Squeasy!" Pinkie chimed. Now, I don't know if you heard anything about the old place, but if you did, I want you to forget everything. Some ponies probably still have a somewhat... negative impression of me. "Who wouldn't like Mr. Faz?" Pinkie wondered. Yeah, the old place was left to rot for quite a while, but as you know Pinkie Pie, we are committed to family fun and above all, safety. Yeah, I've spent a small fortune on these new animatronics. They have stuff like facial recognition, advandced mobility, we even let them walk around during the day. Isn't that neat? "Facial recogmawhatsits?" But most importantly, they're all tied into some kind of criminal database, whatever that is. Apparently they can detect a predator a mile away. Hehehe, we should be paying them to guard you! "That's nice..." Pinkie was zoning out. Um.. now that being said, no new system is without it's... kinks. You're only the second guard to work here- "Is there a way to turn this off?" Pinkie looked around, and finding no button, she decided to push all the buttons at once. When she does that and it didn't work, she just took off her night guard hat and shoved the phone into it. Pinkie never questions her reality. Putting the hat back on, she looked around on the cameras. What she sees makes her stop. "Weren't there three Toys?" Pinkie was staring at an empty stage. Looking at the lights on either side of the vents, she sticks a hoof out and pushes one of them. Toy Bonnie stares right back. Pinkie squeals and leans down. "Hi! I didn't know you could move. Hey! Could you tell me where Toy Chica and Toy Freddy are? Then we could have a party! No, wait, I would have to get BB and Puppet and Mangle and-" Bonnie was in shock. This endoskeleton is so... different. The last one would flicker between an empty suit and an endo, but this one.... Bonnie could tell this one was trouble. He decided the best way to get rid of her is to scare her off. He jumps out of the vent, towering over the pink pony. "GRAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGHH!" Pinkie giggled. "Are we having a weird-noise contest? Let me try, let me try!" She took a huge breath and went, "BLUBABLUBABLUBABLUBA-" Bonnie paused. "-BLUBABLUBABLUBA-" It just won't stop! "-BLUBABLUBABLUBA-" MAKE IT STOP! Toy Freddy had heard the commotion. He appeared behind the pink bluba machine, seizing her by the neck. "You're through endo. Just come along quietly to the back and we will get you a nice sui-" "I didn't know you could talk!" She interrupted. "Well, I knew you could talk, just not when you are like this. When I say not like this, I mean when you are walking around. Cause if you couldn't talk during the day, you couldn't sing, and if you couldn't sing, you couldn't make lots and lots of little colts and fillies happy, and that would be so sad, and they wouldn't be having fun anymore, and-" Freddy stared. How? This little chatterbox was nuts! "Stop! Just stop." He began to drag her to Parts/Service. "WAIT!" Pinkie yelled. "What is it now, endo?" Freddy snarled. "I didn't finish my hay smoothie!" Suddenly, she was not in Freddy's hands anymore, she was back in the office, drinking away happily at a smoothie. Freddy looked at his hands, then at Pinkie, then at his hands, then at Pinkie. What she had done was impossible! DING DONG Pinkie gasped. "Would you look at the time! It's already six! Well, I've got to go. Bye Freddy, bye Bonnie!" She pranced happily away. But before she opened the doors, she zoomed back to Freddy and said, "Tell Chica I said hi! Well, I guess it would be bye. I wonder where she went tonight? Well, see you tomorrow!" And with that she pranced out the doors. Freddy stood there with his mouth open. "CHICA!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It was funny to watch you get outsmarted by an endo..." Chica sniggered. "Just go tell BB we need his help tomorrow night! Bonnie!" "Yeah Freddy?" "Go tell Mangle we will need her. And I will go talk to the Puppet." > Night 2: Pinkie Gives Presents > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie Pie bounced inside Freddy's, laden with all of the gifts for her new friends. Each one was wrapped in colorful wrapping paper, depicting scenes of ponies eating cake. She giggled at all of her presents, pranks ready to be unfolded. She giggled some more as she went into her office. Her giggles cut abruptly short as she noticed the a new phone was in place of the old one. Her eyes narrowed. "I don't know exactly who you think you are buster, but you will not mess up my gift giving tonight, ya got that!" she yelled at the phone. The receiver fell to one side. "I thought so!" Pinkie slowly backed out of the room, keeping her eyes on it. "I'm watching you.... Wait, my gift giving!" And with that she left the office exactly as the clock struck 12. Her first stop was to the show stage. "One for you and you and you!" She zoomed away before any of the Toys could react. "Did... did you see that?" Bonnie asked uncertainly. "An endo giving out presents?" Chica asked. "Yeah." "Yep. I saw that too. And since they are here might as well open them." Freddy chimed in. They agreed and Bonnie opened his first. Inside the large box was... another box? Bonnie shrugged and opened that one. Inside was another box, and another, and another, until he got the smallest box and opened that one. A large boom echoed throughout the building. Streamers went everywhere. Bonnie gave a growl as he ripped the streamers from his ears. Chica and Freddy both looked at their presents, and pushed them away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pinkie made a stop in Prize Corner, dropping off a round object wrapped in paper. She giggled to herself, knowing that the Puppet will be out to see it. She had no intention of winding up the music box tonight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BB was doing what he usually did. In other words, crawling through the vents to get to the endoskeleton. He didn't put it in it's rightful place though. The red menace did that. He just distracted it. Making loud banging noises as his plastic suit hit the metal of the vent, BB could sense he was almost into the office. Just a little more... and an endoskeleton face popped into his. "Hey! You have no idea how long I have been looking for you!" The endo yelled in his face. BB was speechless. "I got you a present for Hearth's Warming Eve! Cause I thought, wow, Bonnie, Freddy, and Chica and them never get any presents on Hearth's Warming Eve, and that's so sad, so I bought a ton of gifts for all of you! Merry Hearth's Warming Eve!" And the endo left again. BB sat there for a while, looking at the small box that the endo had given him. He shrugged his shoulders and pulled of the bow that kept it all together. A second later, and he was stuck in the vent, more balloons than he could ever count surrounding him on all sides. BB tried to move backwards. Too many balloons. He tried to move forwards. Too many balloons. BB sighed. Looks like he was stuck in there for the rest of the night. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pinkie Pie bounced around the restaurant, looking for Mangle. For some reason, at 1 A.M., every single animatronic had moved! She looked around for Mangle in Kid's Cove. "Now where could you be... MANGLEY! MAAAAANGLEY! COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE! Wait, are we playing hide and go seek? I love that game! Mangley! Oh Mangley!" And with that she bounced out of Kid's Cove, leaving a scared and breathless Mangle crawling on the roof. Meanwhile, in Parts/Service, a certain red fox began to boot up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Puppet slowly unwound, excited at the prospect of the Joy of Creation. One step out of his box, and- *tink*. Wait, linoleum floors don't go tink. He looked down, only to see a small wrapped present with his foot on it. Wait. HE was supposed to give presents. Only HE was supposed to give the Joy of Creation. Consumed by rage, Puppet threw the present at the wall. It exploded, showering him with glass and jelly. The Puppet looked inside his box. Filled with jelly and glass. Prize Corner was filled with jelly and glass. He sighed, and grabbed a mop and a bucket. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our favorite night guard bounced around, looking for Mangle. She bounced nose first into something hard, sharp, and holey. She looked up. Standing above her in all of his horrible glory was Foxy. He twisted his hook menacingly, looking straight at her. Pinkie gulped. "H-Hey! M-merry Hearth's w-warming eve! W-want a p-present?" She said while offering him a small box. With one swipe of Foxy's hook, the box, and very nearly Pinkie's head, was impaled. "I TAKE THAT AS A NO!" She ran, faster than she had ever run in her life, towards the office, towards the mask, towards her salvation. With a deft flick of her hoof, the mask was on, her big poofy mane barely fitting inside the head. She held her breath as Foxy entered the office, looking at her with what she thought was contempt. Once more the fox's hook flashed out, once more it was only Pinkie's quick reflexes and her space bending abilities that saved her. Pinkie dashed into the right vent, noticing the left was blocked up with balloons, but having no time to comment on it. She crawled through the vent, emerging in one of the party rooms. She quickly hid under the table. Pinkie could hear Foxy's hook scraping against the walls. She could hear him coming nearer. She waited with baited breath, hoping the night was almost over. "Oh sweet Celestia if I make this out alive-" She shut up as Foxy entered the party room. Clunk, clunk, clunk. Soon he was standing right above her table. Ding Dong Pinkie Pie had never left a place so quickly. > Night 3: THERE'S MORE?! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Toy Freddy slowly came awake, savoring the peace and quiet. Wait... He attempted at a frown. Ever since that endo came in, there wasn't an ounce of peace or quiet. Freddy nudged Bonnie and Chica awake. "Guys. Guys! Wake up! I think there's something wrong..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 15 Minutes Ago Pinkie opened the doors to the pizzeria with new trepidation. Poking her head in, she zipped inside, hiding under one of the table. Peering out from there, she eyed the next area of places to hide. Seemingly to disappear then reappear under the boxes in Prize Corner, she lifted up the box, carrying it on her back until she reached the middle of the hallway. She then ran like crazy to the office, imagining thick metal footsteps behind her. Panting, out of breath, she looked at the phone in a new light. "You and I are the only friends in here." She managed to mumble. With that she pushed the button to hear the nights recording. Hello Pinkie? I don't know if you got last night's recording, but I did notice the mask had a very thick hole in it. I'm guessing Foxy came in last night huh? "Foxy. So that's his name." I know that I told you this on the first night, but remember the animatronics in the back room can move. "WHAT!" Pinkie lunged for the tablet. flicking through the pictures, she saw the new ones seemed to be having a conference. "At least they aren't botheri-" Suddenly all of the new ones stared at the camera." -ng me..." Pinkie finished weakly. Her knees felt weak. This was far from the happy haven she had thought would be here when she started her job. Flicking to the Parts/Service, she nearly screamed. All of them are gone! Changing the cameras, she noticed with grim satisfaction that none of them were near her room. Bonnie was in a party room, so was Chica, and Freddy was in the far back of the hallway. "FOXY! WHERE IS THE FOX!" She pulled down the cameras, turned on the flashlight, and actually screamed. Foxy was standing there, in all of his creepiness, just staring. She could barely hear the phone turn off over her noise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Toy Chica jumped at the sound of the endo's scream. All of them flicked their heads towards the noise. "They're awake." Bonnie muttered. Mangle looked around. "Anyone gonna help our new bandmate not get demolished?" No one volunteered. "Looks like I am on my own." "I'll go with you!" Chica pipped up. "Anyone else?" No one. Chica gently put a hand on Mangle's spine. "Let's go." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pinkie heard them crawling through the vents. Her hair had gone very straight. She was flicking the flashlight at Foxy, occasionally looking at the tablet or the lights. "Why are the vents this big!" She yelled at no one. Her ears picked up the soft thump noises the new animatronics make when they walk. She saw Old Bonnie enter the room the second she pulled up the tablet. He kept making groaning noises that sounded oddly pony-like. Pinkie wanted to pull down the tablet, but she was afraid of what she would see. "Why why why why why..." She heard even more enter. "There's more?!" More footsteps and the unmistakable sound of metal on metal. Pinkie moved her hoof along the desk, knocking over the fan, lots of pieces of crumpled paper, and her refilling hay smoothie which somehow always stays frosty. The hoof encountered a piece of plaster. Yes! The Freddy head, now if I can just get it on with one hoof... Doing her best not to show her face, Pinkie pulled on the mask. It's really heavy! I don't remember it being this heavy. Maybe somepony filled it with bricks, but why would they do that, I mean- STOP. Focus Pinkie, focus. Pulling some more, she managed to lift it with one hoof, lifting it above her head. She quickly threw down the camera and tried to slam on the Freddy head. Except that wasn't a Freddy head. It was Toy Chica's face. "Oh. That's why it was so heavy..." Pinkie looked up at the sockets where Chica's eyes were supposed to be and shuddered. Pinkie gingerly put down Chica. "Heh, heh, heh, g-good chi-chicken. Just s-stay there w-while I b-back away..." Bump "The walls aren't supposed to be sharp." she squeaked. Slowly turning around, she looked straight at Mangle's face. Screaming, Pinkie ran quickly into Old Bonnie, who was just standing there watching with morbid enjoyment. He grabbed Pinkie's neck, and roared at her face. Pinkie began running back down the hallways, her neck stretching to improbable lengths. Bonnie stood there, now utterly confused. Pinkie quickly looked at a clock while she ran. "5:59, come ooo_" Ding Dong Bonnie let go and her head slung back to her body. Before Toy Chica turned off, she managed to utter, "We need to talkto you..." Pinkie could care less what she said at the moment. All she cared about was leaving. > Night 4: Pinkie Talks it Over > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie sat on the hotel bed, crying her eyes out. Mr. Faz sat beside her, occasionally patting her heaving back. He was afraid this would happen. Pinkie had gotten much thinner, and it took concentration to keep her mane poofy during the day. Mr. Faz sighed deeply. He hated seeing Pinkie Pie like this. "Uh, Pinkie Pie, if you need to, I don't know, quit, I would be happy to take over for you." Mr. Faz shivered on the inside, and he gulped. The last night he had done was nearly impossible, his flashlight running out of battery, Balloon Boy inside the room, Mangle on the roof, and the music box running down. Pinkie shot upright, her tears drying immediately. She looked offended. "Quit? I can't quit! I Pinkie Pie Promised you I would get through this week, and that's what I'm gonna do!" "You didn't really Pinkie Pi-" "Speaking of which, I'm almost late, and that won't do, will it?" "B-but Pinkie Pie-" Pinkie bolted out the door, shouting a hasty goodbye. She did it because she knew she wouldn't be brave enough to go there if she thought about it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inching the doors open slightly, the smell of pizza permeated the air. Pinkie took in a deep breath, enjoying the scent until she realized where she was and who she had come to meet. The warm air of the restaurant now seemed cold. Sneaking inside, she stole a look at the clock. She was late. It was 12:10. Pinkie didn't exactly know where she was going, but she had a pretty good idea. Stealing off to Kid's Cove, Pinkie went to meet Toy Chica and Mangle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Where is she! The endo should have been here by now!" Toy Chica looked at the rapidly cooling pizza. Mangle just shrugged. An endoskeleton appeared right next to her head and said, "Who should have been here by now?" Both Mangle and Toy Chica jumped high in the air, Mangle actually clinging to the ceiling. Mangle gasped, "Don't do that!" "Why not?" They looked at each other. Toy Chica sighed. "Listen, there is something extremely important I have to tell you about this place. This is gonna be a long story, so sit down and have some pizza." Pinkie shrugged and took a seat. She took one bite and gasped. "This pizza is amazing! Who made it?" Mangle tried to raise her hand, only succeeding in falling over. "I did." Pinkie stopped and raised a questioning eyebrow at Chica and Sargent Sprinkles. Chica laughed, "Ah, you're thinking that I'm the foody. No, I'm more into robots. Mangle's the real foody here." Her voice dropped and tried to look as serious as you can when your face is stuck in a permanent smile. "But that's not the real reason I wanted to talk to you. First, let me say Mangle and I am really sorry for scaring you last night. We didn't mean too." Pinkie grumbled something about not crawling around and sneaking up on ponies. Chica pretended not to notice. "Now lets get to the actual reason I called you here. You see, this restaurant has a bit of a... bad backstory." Pinkie was about to talk until Chica held up her hand. "Let me finish. So, before us there were the things in the Parts/Service room. We're pretty certain they were the old versions of us." "Well, duh! I know that!" Pinkie Pie said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Toy Chica blinked. Mangle took up the story. "They worked at a restaurant called Fazbear's Family Dining, basically doing the same things we do now, except for the games and so on and so forth. And at Fazbear's Family Dining there was an... accident, I guess." "Mangle, don't tell her about this." Chica said, glaring daggers at Mangle. "We have to! She needs to know!" Pinkie watched the exchange, finally chiming in when it was about to come to blows. "Hey, I wanna know! Don't leave me in the dark!" Chica sighed, "I'm so sorry for what's coming next." Pinkie head exploded in pain as something smashed into her head. The last words she uttered before succumbing to the darkness was, "I didn't mean it literally..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mangle jumped back as Pinkie hit the floor, the old and terrifying Chica right behind her. Mangle was unperturbed. "What was that! That wasn't part of the plan!" Old Chica didn't answer. She never did. Toy Chica could though. "It was part of my plan. Well, I suppose I should say our plan." "B-but, we were gonna talk it over. Convince her she should get in the suit. T-this way isn't fair!" Mangle whined. Toy Chica kept walking. "Life isn't fair." "B-but-" She stopped, pinning Mangle against the wall. "Did you not hear me when I said I'm interested in robots? Guess what we are Mangle." "Robots..." "Precisely. That means I know what makes us tick. I know how you tick Mangle. I also know how to make that ticking stop." Chica let her up. "Go back to your Kid's Cove Mangle! We don't need you." With that, Chica resumed walking towards the Parts/Service. Mangle uttered one word. "Why..." For the first time, Old Chica answered. "V-v-v-vengean-en-ence wi-l-ll be serve-ed." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pinkie woke up to an aching headache, her brain hurting. The first thing she noticed was the dark. And then the silence. She was not used to silence. Nearly everywhere she went ponies were laughing or playing or at least talking to her. But now... now the silence bore down on her like a 48.5 pound bag of potatoes. "Wakey wakey." Toy Chica voice crackled through the speakers of the camera. "I'm in your office, looking at your cameras. But I'm not the one here that wants to talk to you." Pinkie Pie looked straight at the camera. She couldn't tell it, but Toy Chica squirmed. "Who wants to talk to me?" Pinkie said in a dangerously low voice. Toy Chica answered simply. "Them." Then turned on the camera light. And they stepped into the light. Old Freddy led the gang, with Chica following right behind him, and Foxy coming next. Bonnie stumbled around a bit, then got in line. None of them talked. "W-what do you want?" Pinkie said, trying and failing to sound strong and brave. No one answered. However there was movement. Bonnie pulled out of his face a piece of paper and passed it along the line. Freddy grabbed it and shoved it under Pinkie's nose. She looked. "Hey, I know this pony. He was the purple unicorn I saw at the beginning of the week." She raised a confused eyebrow. "What does this have to do with anything?" Freddy retracted his arm and, giving it to Chica, who gave it to Foxy, nodded in some sort of signal. Pinkie was sure she saw Foxy smiling a bit (if such a thing could happen.) He grabbed the paper in his actual hand, then quickly shoved his hook through the purple unicorn's head. Pinkie paled as much as a bright pink pony could. "Y-your mad at him? Hey, w-what are you d-doing back there?" She squeaked. Chica had left the line and went into the darkness. Pinkie could swear her eyes glowed. Chica then walked back, carrying a Freddy Fazbear suit. "W-what are you doing with that?" Pinkie said that, even though she knew exactly what they were going to do with it. Chica opened the head of the suit with the greatest of care. She nodded to Freddy. Freddy roughly picked up the pink pony and lifted her over the suit. He prepared to stuff her into the suit, but he waited. He liked to see them squirming before hand. He turned away one split second to send some orders off to Bonnie, then turned back to see that the pink pony was... gone! DING DONG When he shut down, he saw a certain pink pony blowing rasberries at them from the doorway of the Parts/Sevice. > Night 5: Pinkie goes Ham > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie grinned a grin that would have been physically impossible if it wasn't Pinkie grinning this grin. She looked down at the roof of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, then looked at the 10,000 balloons that were tied to her back, then at her saddlebags filled with various pranks. She giggled happily, then stopped beacause it sounded too much like BB. "Now how to get down..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A time and space phase later, Pinkie entered the restaurant in the loudest most bouncy manner possible. In other words, she shot herself out of her party cannon, then began running at super-sonic speeds, setting up all of her tricks in record time. She stopped in the office, turning off the stopwatch. "6.54 seconds! That's the fastest yet!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Toy Bonnie woke up to an endo's face right in front of his. Surprised and a little scared, he leaned back. Suddenly, the endo began to sing. "This is your singing telegram, I hope it find you well-" Bonnie snuck a glance at Freddy and Chica. They broth shrugged, Chica barely suppressing a laugh. "So help me celebrate! The cake will be delicious-" The commotion attracted the puppet, Mangle, and BB. Bonnie pleaded with his eyes for someone to come and save him. BB laughed loudly, the Puppet did nothing, and Mangle's mouth dropped, mainly at the fact that the endo is still naked. "-so come and be my guest!" It was silent for a long time while the animatronics tried to think up a response. Mangle ventured forward with an unsure answer. "Yes...?" "Great!" Pinkie yelled, startling all. Her eye twitched slightly at the sight of Chica, but nobody noticed. Pinkie then struck a hero pose. "To the Batcave!" She paused, thinking on what she had just said. "I mean, to the office! We don't have a batcave, although it would be really cool if we did, cause-" Freddy stopped the yammering endo by stepping in front of her. "And why would we?" he asked. "Well, duh! Because of the party," Pinkie made quite sure Chica heard this. "and balloons," A glance at BB. "- and the presents." A glance at the Puppet. Chica and BB's eyes widened as the programming took over. Puppet's eyes would have widened, but since he didn't have any eyes he just settled for a mysteriously pony-like grunt. Chica instantly became much nicer. "Let's Party!" Pinkie threw her hoof into the air. "You said it, sister! To the office... cave!" Pinkie bounced off giggling, occasionally spasmodically twitching, while the animatronics shrugged and followed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The party was in full swing, the puppet dancing to the music that Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie were supplying. BB was making more balloons then the pink party pony could count. She grinned, watching the balloons of all different colors float up to the ceiling. Her hoof twitched spasmodically. The only animatronic not having fun was Mangle. She stared intently at Chica and Pinkie, trying to edge her way towards Pinkie without alerting Chica. This soon proved to be futile as Pinkie jumped on top of the table and yelled at the top of her voice, "BALLOON PARTY AT THE ENTRANCE!" and dashed out, leaving a smoke version of herself in her own wake of speed. The music began to wind down as every single animatronic except for Mangle and Chica began to trickle out. Chica turned to Mangle. "Listen, you amalgamation of broken pieces. I've seen you trying to get close to that endo. I know what makes you tick, Mangle, and I will make that ticking stop. Do I make myself clear?" "Wait, wait, wait. Isn't that the threat from the last chapter?" Mangle pulled out a hidden script and flipped through it. "And stop saying everything I'm doing, Terminal!" But guys, that's my job. I'm the narrator/story maker. Chica pulled out her own version of the script. "Yep, that's basically the exact same threat. Hey, Terminal, mind spicing it up a bit? You know, actually making us say different things?" I have writer's block, okay? Just give me a break. It took me like 3 months just to get this far. Pinkie popped in. "What are you guys talking about?" Chica sighed and put her hand to her forehead. "Terminal has writer's block and is messing up our scripts." "Aww, that's no fun. How about I become narrator for a little bit?" Pinkie, if you become narrator you will completely ruin the atmosphere. "No I won't. How about this? Mangle and Chica became good friends and went to the kitchen and made some cupcakes. All the others used Pinkie Pie's Party Cannon and made a huge party and everyone was invited! The old animatronics stopped being such meany pants and joined, and we all lived happily ever after!" Everyone just stared and Pinkie. Mangle spoke up. "I don't actually object to that. That sounds kind of fun!" NO NO NO! Everyone just go back to your scripts and stop breaking the Fourth Wall! "Fine, fine. Alright, where were we?" "You just threatened me, I nodded in fear, and we both walked down to the entrance." "Oh yeah..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pinkie giggled to herself as the animatronics began to slowly trickle in, with Chica and Mangle being the last. They looked around confusedly. Where was this endoskeleton, and more importantly, where was the party she had promised? "SURPRISE!" Pinkie fell down from the roof, landing on top of Bonnie, who promptly fell over. She was pretty certain Bonnie was saying something along the lines of why me, but that didn't matter. It just mattered that he was there. Getting off of Bonnie, she then promptly pulled out a sign that looked suspiciously like BB's sign for balloons. BB looked in his hand. He wasn't surprised to see that his sign was gone. "Okay robots and.... thing." The Puppet huffed. "We are going to have a competition! Do you see these balloons?" Pinkie indicated with her hoof the massive pile of balloons which filled up the entire left half of the entrance. "What balloo- OF COURSE WE CAN SEE THEM!" Chica all but yelled at Pinkie's face. "Aww, don't have that attitude! I might have to disqualify you!" Pinkie twitched more violently then ever, attracting everyone else's attention. Mangle gulped quietly, snuck a glance a Chica, and crawled over to Pinkie. "A-are you okay, Pin-Endo." She corrected herself just in time. "Why wouldn't I be? Let's go paaar-tay!" Freddy shrugged, marking it down to glitches, and everybody went over to the massive balloon pile. "Here are the rules: Don't run. Don't yell. Don't scream. Don't poop on the-" "Endo, we already know these rules. They're the rules to the restaurant." Freddy explained. Pinkie thought for a minute. "Oh yeah, here are the rules. You have to take some balloons, inflate them and tie them to you as fast as you can. Whoever gets off the floor and touches the ceiling first wins!" The Puppet grunted in a way that basically said, "This is a stupid idea for infantiles which I shall not participate in." "On your mark..." They all got a balloon. "Get set..." Competitive glares. "GO!" The animatronics hit the ground running, which then slowed to a trot, then a walk, then a crawl. Mangle couldn't tie them onto her because she kept popping them, Freddy was pretty certain his fingers weren't supposed to go that way, Chica accidentally tied herself up, and Bonnie couldn't tie them at all. BB, however, was going at lightning speed. It didn't take long for him to get 10, then 20, then 30 all tied up on his propeller hat. He began to gently float off the ground. Still tying, he laughed as he saw his fat feet leave the ground. BOOP BB reached out an arm and gently touched the ceiling. "Congratulations!" Pinkie was right up in his face, smiling and holding out a cupcake. BB stared at the cupcake in confusion. "I can't eat anything." he said flatly. The other animatronics gawked. "Wait." Freddy said. "How did we blow up the balloons if we didn't have any lungs?" Pinkie ignored them and somehow managed to get her hoof around all of them and ushered them out the door back to the office. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "This is a terrible idea!" Freddy wailed as he tried to keep his ground but ultimately failed, falling down on the floor. Chica shrugged. "I find it pretty easy." she said as she fell down over Freddy. Bonnie just hugged the wall. "You guys are over reacting." Pinkie said, doing a nice flip over the fallen Chica and Freddy. She skid over to Bonnie. "Aww, don't worry Bonnie. When I first invented banana skates, I was just as wibbly wobbly as you are!" Bonnie looked so hopeful. "Really?" "Well, no, but did it make you feel better?" "I guess..." "Good! Hey, BB, you are getting pretty good at that!" PInkie smiled at BB, her eye twitching. Mangle and the Puppet couldn't participate, mainly because the Puppet just flat out refused, and there was no place to put the banana skates on Mangle anyway. Pinkie looked around, suddenly noticing the absence of her crazy looking friend. "H-hey, has anyone seen Mangle?" Her words were drowned out by Bonnie suddenly crashing into the floor. Pinkie turned to look, only to see the more terrifying version of him standing over the now headless Toy Bonnie. Withered Bonnie ripped off Toy Bonnie's face and put it into the crevice where his was supposed to be. Pinkie's tail began to twitch. Quickly ducking she watched as Withered Foxy flew over her head and smashed into the wall behind her. Pinkie looked at the vents, hoping for a method of escape. Withered Freddy was in one, Withered Chica in another. "H-h-hi guys. Glad to s-see you m-made it!" She yelped as Withered Chica launched herself out of the vent, just barely missing Pinkie. In a flash Pinkie had gone into the vent that Chica had just recently left. Crawling at a speed that would have astounded Sonic, she pulled herself out of the vent only to be confronted with Withered Bonnie, who promptly shut the door to the party room. Pinkie turned back to the vent only to see it was blocked by Withered Freddy. She gulped. "C-cake...?" she tried weakly. Bonnie smacked the cake out of her hoofs and advanced. She eyed the vent. Freddy was still in there. Of course he knew her plan... Pinkie prepared herself for the pain that never came. A screeching metal thing fell from the ceiling, latching itself onto Withered Bonnie. Pinkie knew when she had a break. She ran to the door and wrenched it open, immediately heading for the exit. She completely ignored the cacophony surrounding her, staring intently at the pair of double doors that would save her life. Leaving the haunted restaurant, she just faintly heard the sound of the 6 A.M. bells ringing. Smiling to herself at her lucky escape, Pinkie suddenly realized what that blinding thing that fell from the ceiling was, and was probably deactivated now. Her smile faded from her face. Mangle. Mangle had saved her life. Hot tears of shame and anger and sadness soaked the pavement outside. She stared at the balloons which had inexplicably appeared on her back. Reaching into her mane, she pulled out a pad of paper and a pen. She threw the paper away and wrote directly on the doors. I QUIT > Night 6: The Prologue of the Epilogue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie stared out the window at the scenery speeding by. She pulled her mind out of dreamland and looked back at the train car full of ponies. She smiled gently. The time of crazy grins was over now, as was the time of ridiculously loud shenanigans. Pinkie thought back to her time as night guard of the once exalted but now feared by her pizza place known as Freddy Fazbear's. She thought back to sweet Mangle. Pinkie had only known her true self for a little bit and it was apparent Mangle was loyal to the core. As she thought, her eyes began to droop. Non-stop craziness for five nights had really worn her down, as did the loss of a friend. A second later and Pinkie was in the dreamscape. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A bounce in the train ride soon jolted Pinkie awake. She stretched, looking up at the ceiling at the comforting sight of Mangle. "Morning, Mangley." Mangle waved and crawled down to Pinkie's level, where she got snatched up from something big and purple behind her. Now Pinkie was really awake. Turning she saw Mangle being slowly torn apart by Withered Bonnie, while Withered Chica, Freddy, and Foxy stood in the background. Pinkie stared in horror as Freddy stepped forward, towering over her, and then he suddenly... collapsed? She laughed weakly. After all, it's not every day you get to see your nightmares trip. Her laughter stopped as suddenly as it had come. Was Freddy changing a different color? She could swear he was brown just a couple moments ago, not gold. She stepped back as the other animatronics crumbled into dust and blew away, leaving her alone with the golden version of Freddy. The Golden Freddy. Goldie. She began to run. Anywhere. Anywhere but there was needed. Goldie gave her a sense of dread whenever she looked at it. You think you know fear? Pinkie gasped as she heard the voice in her head. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" She screamed. Those... trinkets of mine are just little things. I WILL SHOW YOU REAL FEAR! Her head throbbed with pain as she realized she just ran into the doors. NO ESCAPE PINKIE PIE! A blinding flash of light filled the cabin as the Princess of the Night appeared right in front of Pinkie, blocking Goldie's gaze. "THY SHALL BE SILENT, SWINE!" A quick burst of Alicorn Magic, and Goldie disappeared from view. "Are you alright?" "Y-yeah." Pinkie answered, trying her best not to faint. She suddenly realized how Fluttershy must feel all the time. "Wake up, Pinkie Pie. I don't know what you have seen to cause you, the element of laughter, this, but your friends are worried." Luna waved her hoof vaguely around the darkened train cars, the monstrosity that was Mangle, and the withered ones seemingly frozen in space. They all disappeared in a blink, being replaced by the train station outside. Pinkie's five friends were standing there, looking nervously from pony to pony as the train slowly emptied. "Go to them." Luna placed a hoof on Pinkie's shoulder. And then she woke up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pinkie woke to see a cyan hoof meticulously drawing a perfect mustache and glasses on her face with a black marker. "RAINBOW!" Pinkie shot out of her seat and engulfed Rainbow in a hug, effectively choking her at the same time. "Hey, Pinkie! How was your... Are you okay?" Rainbow Dash's playful tone had turned into one of worry when she realized that Pinkie was crying. "No! I'm not okay! I need to talk to all of you right now!" Pinkie was sobbing into Rainbow's mane, soaking it with the unreal amount of tears she was producing. It was like a waterfall had suddenly decided to come out of her eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A thoroughly soaked Rainbow Dash came out of the train, carrying on her back a crying Pinkie. Rainbow hailed over the other Elements of Harmony. "Guys, how do we get Pinkie to stop soaking me? She won't stop crying." Murmurs of consternation went through the group. They huddled together, talking about how to get their hyper-active friend back. "I got it!" Rarity suddenly yelled. Everypony stared at her. "Yes, well, ahem..." She went on to explain it. Twilight walked forward. "You know that place you went to in Manehatten, with the magical robot things?" Pinkie nodded tearfully. "One of those is coming to Ponyville!" She was engulfed by darkness. > Night 7: The Epilogue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Faz entered his restaurant, the darkness shrouding the empty tables. He looked at the clock. 10:30 P.M. There was time. He walked around, not even slightly perturbed by the missing animatronics or the I QUIT scrawled on the doors. Upon entering the Main Hall, he saw devastation. That was definitely Mangle's head stuck in the ceiling, and he was pretty certain Chica was supposed to be in one part. He kicked the broken Toy Bonnie, ignored the destroyed Toy Chica, walked over the devastated Toy Freddy. The Puppet had all the stuffing pulled out of him, and BB was nowhere to be seen. The Withered animatronics were scattered across the lower half of the restaurant. He took a peek in the office. Chica was in the left vent and Foxy was smooshed against the wall. He swore softly. Entering one of the Party Rooms, he saw Bonnie with Mangle's left arm in his hand and Freddy in the vent. This time he swore loudly. A soft purple glow began to emanate from him. It soon completely engulfed him, throwing strange shadows across the walls. The magic formed a bubble around Mr. Faz, causing an explosion outwards. Where Mr. Faz once stood was now a strange purple unicorn, who had the most bored expression on his face. He frowned. Pinkie Pie was supposed to have destroyed, or at least decommissioned all of them. Everything would have been made easier and faster if she did. He was going to start over in Ponyville, leave what he did in the past, forgive and forget minus the forgive part. He regretted nothing. He turned around and bucked Withered Bonnie in the chest. It left a small dent, but nothing too serious. Oh how he cursed the day he was made a unicorn and not a powerful earth pony. The purple unicorn sighed and walked to the Parts/Service. He went to the very back of the room, looking at the mess that used to be the actual Mr. Faz. Grimacing, Purple pushed it farther back, away from the cameras. Once this place closed up, everything will be forgotten. The only problem was that he was going to get new animatronics via the insurance money. Robbers, he would have said. Since Pinkie hadn't destroyed them all and the withered ones were salvageable, he wasn't going to get that money. Walking back to the old ones, he went to Bonnie and saw that his leg had to go and he had to get a new arm. Fortunately Mangle's arm and leg fit Bonnie's Endoskeleton's exact design. Purple smiled a grim smile. Of course the other's missing limbs would have to be replaced, but that didn't bother him. He would start over all right. He will not go to jail. That pink menace will take his place. > Five Nights with Pinkie on a Budget > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hi Mr. Faz!" Pinkie squee-ed. Mr. Faz hummed and gave her a mask. "MAKE MONEY FOR ME!!!" "Huehuehuehuehue." Pinkie giggled to herself as she walked inside. Mangle appeared by her side. "Hey wanna be friends?" Mangle asked. Pinkie, being Pinkie, of course nodded. "Cool, you just have to step inside this suit for me, okay?" "B-but I dun wanna!" Pinkie yelled, unnecessarily loudly. Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, and Toy Chica poofed into existence. "Rawr." They said in unison, one with a middle finger pointed to the sk- Gah! Guuuys you have to act this out! "Okay, for one, this is humiliating." Toy Chica said, a deadpan look on her face. It's not that bad.... "It really is...." Pinkie groaned, looking through her script. The Puppet appeared behind Terminal Velocity and what the heck are you doing back here? Get back into the story! The Puppet staunchly disagrees and thinks Terminal Velocity is being childish. Well nobody- I mean nopony asked for your opinion. Get back in there! The Puppet began to slowly strangle Terminal Velocity. What are you doing! I-I-Stop! You'll m-mess everything up! I-I y-you're going to-k-kill me.... Terminal Velocity died. "Wanna go out for ice cream?" Pinkie asked everyone. The Puppet, Withered Bonnie, Chica, Freddy, Foxy, Toy Bonnie, Chica, Freddy, Mangle, and Pinkie all went out for ice cream and everything was happy. A lone soul floated through the empty Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. I hate everyone.
