  Chapter 1 – Monday

  The year was 1985. Freddy's had been closed down for two years since the murders at the 1983 locations. Both places had their fair share of disappearances and murders. However, the pizzeria chain in 1985 had begun to be known as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, and it would remain so forever. The man who committed the murders worked at the first location of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, but nobody knew that. Fredbear's Family Diner was shut down a year before the murders at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, in 1982. It was shut down to the disappearance of a small child. The child of the man who designed the animatronics, whom Phone Guy did not know. The owner was really the only one close enough to him.

  Nobody quite knew the owner, no one that wasn't a higher up in the company anyway. The only men who had a good relationship with him was the creator of the animatronics with whom he had created the pizzeria with, along with Phone Guy's Boss. Phone Guy didn't know much about the man, except for his name. William Afton. Phone Guy was finally going to have his chance to prove himself today to the owner, as he was invited to the grand re-opening to the pizzeria. This pizzeria was a brand new one built from the ground up, featuring brand new animatronics built for it as well. They were already known to the public, not brand new or anything, just new animatronics of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy. He was promised at the previous pizzeria that he would become manager, but plans do change. Better luck next time he figured, as he thought doing better now would make him a sure candidate for a store manager later on down the road.

  Phone Guy got dressed up and ready to go into work. He grabbed his security badge, preparing to be the daytime security guard once more. He had taken off the week in 1983 due to him taking a week's vacation. He however did record audio logs for the pizzeria on his offtime due to them requesting so due to changes in policy regarding the springlock suits. Phone Guy left his house, got into his car, and headed towards the pizzeria. After two years of dead end jobs, Phone Guy finally got his full time one back. He couldn't believe it was finally time.

  Phone Guy pulled in, the place was packed. Families and children were everywhere. Phone Guy put a security badge around his neck to prove that he worked for the place. All the employees wore one for their specific position. Phone Guy walked up to the front of the building, through the crowds. He couldn't believe how packed it was. I guess a lot of people and children missed Freddy's, regardless of the murders and disappearances. William Afton walked outside of the pizzeria alongside the man who designed the animatronics, the regional manager was also there, who was Phone Guy's Boss. He also saw a man with horrible scars walk out behind all of them. The man looked like he didn't want to be there, and he was also wearing a guard uniform.

  William walked up to a microphone and started to speak into it. "Hello, thanks for coming out people!" He said, as he looked at the crowd as they cheered and he smiled. "Now, we know we don't have the best history. But that's why we're updating our security! Instead of one guard, we have two. We also have cameras all around the pizzeria." The crowd cheered louder after he said this, as William looked at Phone Guy's Boss and gave him a thumbs up. "The first guard, who also doubles as technician, my son Dave. Come on up Dave!" He said, as the guard with the scars had a smile go across his face and he walked up and stood next to his father, the owner. His name was apparently Dave. Phone Guy had never seen him before.

  "The second guard worked at the previous location, and we assure you he is the best we have! He was on vacation during the incidents in 1983, but he takes his job seriously." William said, as he pointed to Phone Guy. Phone Guy walked up to the stage with a smile across his face, he looked to the ground and waved to the audience as they all clapped and cheered. Phone Guy had no idea he'd have to be doing this. He was extremely nervous. "None of this would be possible without my great friend, Henry! Who is the new store manager!" As he said this, Phone Guy looked over at Henry. He seemed quite nervous, but not because the crowd. He couldn't exactly tell what was up with him. Henry smiled quite oddly and walked up next to Phone Guy. "We also have our regional manager here, who will be here to watch over things while I'm not here!" William says, and Phone Guy's Boss walks up with a smile. William continues with "Thank you all for coming out, and let's enjoy this new iteration of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza!" They all walk off the stage, and Phone Guy follows as they all go inside.

  Phone Guy watches as William and Henry walk into the office in the back, Henry's new office. Phone Guy wishes that was his office, but Henry gets to be manager over him. He guesses that they want someone more trustworthy in the back to make sure no more murders happen. Phone Guy looks over at Dave, the other guard, as he is talking to some little girl. The only little girl in the pizzeria at the moment, due to the fact it doesn't officially open for another 15 minutes. Phone Guy decides to see what's going on with them, and walks over.

  "Hey guys…" Phone Guy says, as Dave looks over at Phone Guy, he looks sort-of angry. His angry face goes away though as it makes a complete reversal and a smile goes across his face. "Oh hey, name's Dave. You must be the other guard. Nice to finally meet you." Dave says, and puts his hand out for a shake. Phone Guy shakes his hand back. "Nice to meet you as well. Now what's your name, sweetie?" Phone Guy asks the little girl kindly, as the little girl looks down quite nervously and says. "Charlotte. But my friends call me Charlie." She says. Phone Guy smiles. "So, is this your daughter, Dave?" Phone Guy asks, as Dave laughs before saying. "No, no, haha. This is Henry's daughter. The guy that designs all the animatronics and such." He says, as Charlotte looks up. She looks more stressed now "Yeah, my Daddy is smart. He builds a lot of things for me at home." She says with a smile.

  Dave looks at Phone Guy. "Maybe we should head back to their office. Maybe they'll give us updates on what's going to happen at this new location." Phone Guy nods and follows Dave to the back. Dave knocks on the door, and they open it. Phone Guy walks in behind Dave. "Hello, uh… hello?" Phone Guy says, as William smiles. "Hey, glad you came back. We wanted to update you on the situation." William says, Phone Guy looks around the room to see who is all in it. He sees William, Henry and Phone Guy's Boss. "Hey, glad to see you again." Phone Guy says to Phone Guy's Boss. "Hey, you too. Haven't seen you in quite a while." He says as he pats him on the back with a smile. Phone Guy smiles back.

  William clears his throat. "Alright, so anyways. You." William looks at Phone Guy. He obviously doesn't know his name. "You will be watching the front of the store. That'll be your position. Watching the register, bathrooms, and arcade in the front." William says, as he looks at Dave. "Dave, your job is to watch the back of the arcade and the dining room. Along with where the animatronics are located." Phone Guy and Dave both nod. "We have to make sure that there are no more disappearances at this pizzeria. This might be our final chance." He says. "Good luck, I'm putting it all on you." William then walks out of the room. "Thanks for listening guys. I appreciate it." Henry says as he walks over to Dave and Phone Guy and puts one of his hands on one of their shoulders. "You guys are greatly appreciated as well. Thanks for coming back." Henry said. Phone Guy, Phone Guy's Boss, and Dave all shake hands with Henry and walk out of the room. Phone Guy then gets his shoulder grabbed. "Please, watch my daughter for me. I trust you. You don't have to babysit her, just make sure she and her friends are OK." Henry says. He lets go of Phone Guy's shoulder and shuts the door behind him, before Phone Guy can even say anything.

  That was odd, Phone Guy thought. He walked down the hallway and to the front, where he noticed that the families were
coming in. Today was going to be a madhouse, this whole week probably was. Phone Guy was ready for it though. Two years off of having a full time job has prepared him for this week. It's time to get back into the swing of things. Phone Guy stood by the front door and looked at Dave, who walked over to the animatronics and stood by them for a second. They then started shaking horribly, and Dave walked away. That was quite odd. He walked over to the dining room, and stood by the tables. Dave noticed Phone Guy looking at him, and he smiled and waved. Phone Guy smiled and waved back. "Weird guy" Phone Guy whispered under his breath. He then looks at Charlie, as she plays with all her little friends and run all around the arcade. Seems like a nice kid, he thought. Henry seems like a nice guy as well, just sort-of… like he's nervous about something. Like he's hiding something. The only question is, what is he hiding?

  Several hours pass, everything goes smoothly. The first time in Freddy Fazbear history it seems that nothing went wrong in a day. The pizzeria closes up as the last of the families leave. "Nice seeing you again, I'll see you tomorrow." Phone Guy's Boss says to Phone Guy, as he walks past him and out the door. Phone Guy is locking up and is waiting for all the other employees to leave. Dave walks out, without even saying a word. Being the last one out, Henry is carrying his daughter, who is asleep. "Thanks for keeping your eyes on her. I appreciate it." He then walks out. Phone Guy walks out behind him and is about to lock the door, then a hand grabs the door. It was one of the old employees. "Hey, name's Jim. I'm the night guard now. Oh boy." Jim says. Phone Guy laughs and says "Good luck." Jim smiles and walks into the pizzeria. He locks the door.

  Phone Guy gets into his car and drives off, he can't wait to see what tomorrow brings him. This is all a good start, even if there are a few oddities. There are always oddities at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza however, so that isn't anything new. It's just, sometimes oddities end up as downfalls.
