I made sure to wake up at 8:00 in the morning and flew to the Pizzeria to meet up with Fluttershy. I saw her up on stage looking at the animatronics and immediately got nervous. I looked out at the tables and saw a crowd of fillies and colts staring at Fluttershy, I could tell they were praying for her to finish whatever she was doing.

"Hey Flutters. What's going on?" I said

"Oh, hello Jet. I'm just checking Pinkie and her friends. Trying to turn them on." She said. "I know you didn't do anything otherwise they would have dents on them. It looks like all of their circuits are broken, I'll have to get somepony to fix them later."

Great, now they're going to be smart.

I stared at the animatronics and checked their eyes to make sure none of them were staring at me. None of them were. Looks like they can't move their eyes during the day, that, or they were scared of Fluttershy.

"I trust that your enjoying being back here?" She said.

"Yeah. I kind of missed this place." I said. "Then the animatronics tried to kill me." I thought. I looked at Fluttershy and thought about what to say next.

"Um, so, uh. Are you exited for Apple Bloom's party?" I asked.

"Oh yes. I can't wait for it, you're going to be there right?" She asked, giving off one of her adorable squees that she does.

"Um, yeah, wouldn't miss it for the world." I said.

"Oh good. Apple Bloom's missed you ever since you were put in prison." She said.

"I missed you all too." I muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing!" I said.

"Hey kids!" I heard a high pitched voice say behind me.

"GAH!!!!!! NO PINKIE!!!!" I said, jumping into Fluttershy's hooves. "DON'T KILL ME I STILL HAVE POWER!!!"

"Um, Jet? What are you saying?" Fluttershy said. "Pinkie Pie must have just turned on by accident. It's okay. You can get down now." She said.

"No! Get me off the stage!" I said.

Fluttershy just rolled her eyes and flew off the stage, chuckling the whole way down.

I got off once we were on the ground and saw Fluttershy chuckling at my little freak out.

I just rolled my eyes and chuckled along with her.

I looked back at the animatronics and I could swear their eyes were focused on me.

I left the pizzeria when the kids at the tables started to laugh at me, I REALLY hate those animatronics. I spent the rest of the day doing nothing in particular. I did happen to stop by the game store and get the new Super Smash Ponies game, it rocks! But, I had to return to my job. Where the animatronics weren't busted and would be even more difficult to deal with.

I got to my job and got ready for Flash Sentry's call, when it came at 12:00 I wasn't as scared as I was.

"Uh, hey there, new guy. So, night 3? Really? Wow! You certainly are a force to be reckoned with. But, um, I've been thinking, about new ways to survive without wasting power shutting the doors. Maybe you could go limp, you know, play dead. Maybe they'll just think you're an empty suit and ignore you. But, then again. If they do think you're just an empty suit, then they'd probably try to stuff and exoskeleton inside you, heh, wonder how that would work out for you. Yeah, nevermind, scratch that. That's definitely not going to work." He said.

I checked the cameras and saw that Apple Jack was already at the dining area, while Pinkie and Rarity stayed on the stage. Good.

"Well, I guess there's nothing really to say, I mean you've made it this far so you should know what you're doing by now or your just one lucky stallion. Or mare. Alright, goodbye. WAIT! No wait, I almost forgot and thank Faust I didn't. Cloud's Cove, you better keep a good eye on that place. Because if you don't then you, my friend, are more screwed than you would be with Pinkie Pie." The phone clicked and I turned the cameras off.

I checked the door lights, nothing. "This is going to be okay," I kept thinking to myself. I checked Cloud's Cove and was relieved to see that the curtains didn't look interrupted, so that means I was good. I hope.

I turned my camera off and decided to just check the door lights periodically for maybe an hour before switching on the cameras. That way I could save more power and I could make sure I was safe.

A few hours went by and it was 3:00, time to switch on the cameras. I did and saw that Rarity wasn't anywhere in sight. I checked the door light and saw her staring at me through the hole in the door.

"Ha, ha, nope." I said, shutting the door.

I found Apple Jack in the backstage room, staring directly into the camera with her jaw hanging wide open.

"Weird." I said, and switched onto the next camera.

I didn't see Pinkie, but I saw Pinkie's eyes in the dining area. Lastly was Cloud's Cove. I checked there and had a heart attack. I saw Rainbow Dash sticking her head out of the curtains, smiling at the camera. I mentally slapped myself.

"How could I have forgotten to keep an eye on Cloud's Cove?" I thought.

I made it a note in my head to keep a closer eye on Cloud's Cove, I can't let Rainbow surprise me.

I turned off the cameras for a quick second and checked the door lights, nothing on the right and Apple Jack on the left.

"Ehhhhhh, no." I said as I closed the door.

I waited a bit and turned on the door light, she was gone. I opened the door and turned on the camera, getting my second free heart attack that night when I saw Rainbow Dash in a position that told me she was ready to fly after me.

"What!? But! What!? I didn't even look away that long!" I said. "Okay you little blue animatron, I am not letting you out of my sight.

Then it began, me staring at Rainbow. I checked the door lights too and found myself in a pretty good position, keeping this up I could make it all night. Until I remembered Pinkie Pie. I searched for her furiously and found her in the bathroom in one of the stalls. I sighed, knowing where she is, and checked on Rainbow. When I clicked on Cloud's Cove I got a third free hear attack (Thanks Pinkie's Pizza Palace! Looks like your pizza isn't the only thing that give ponies heart attacks.) I saw that the curtains were hanging wide open, Rainbow nowhere in sight. I searched for her and almost dropped the camera tablet when I saw Rainbow flying down the western hallway.

I slammed my hoof on the button for the door and heard her hit her head against it. I tried not to but I fell on the floor laughing.

"Hah! Hah! De-Deni- Hah! Denied!" I could barely say as I was in a laughing fit. I then remembered that my life was on the line and checked the tablet, chuckling while doing it. "Apple Jack is in the closet, big surprise. Rarity is-" I looked at the door to the right and closed it. "Rainbow Dash seems to have returned back to Cloud's Cove. Pinkie's, wait, where's Pinkie?"

I searched for Pinkie and saw her staring into the east hall corner camera, smiling the biggest smile her robotic body could allow before completely breaking.

I knew to keep that door shut all night, but then I heard ringing, signaling it was 6:00.

"Thank Faust." I said.

I waited for them to all return to their places and got out of their fast, not wanting to stay any longer than I had to.

I got home, fell on my bed, and welcomed sweet, sweet sleep.

I woke up the next morning and flew to see Fluttershy. I found her at the stage area and snuck up on her.

"Boo!" I said.

She jumped up and turned at me, glaring.

"Hey Flutters." I said.

Her face lightened up and she said 'hi' back.

"Don't you ever wish you were their age again?" She said.

"Wait? To be a kid again? Heh, I'd give anything in the world to be a kid again." I said.

"Remember when we first met?" She said.

"Oh no, don't you start bringing up that story again."

"I went to your birthday party because my mom was friends with yours and you wouldn't stop staring at me." She said.

"Shush!" I said.

"I heard you poke your mom and ask 'Mommy, is that a princess?'" She said, letting out a small chuckle.

My face was red, well, more red than it already is. "Shush!" I said again.

"Why? You were adorable." She said.

"Yeah, yeah." I said.

"We always thought we'd get great jobs." I said. "I know that I can't, I was in jail. Why'd you stay?" I said.

"What?" She said.

"Why did you stay working here when you could have used your major and got that job as a vet that you always talked about?"

"I don't know. After the incident a lot has changed here. I don't know why I stayed." She said.

I started to remember the incident again.

I was in the backstage, cleaning some of the extra faces for the animatronics we have in case one of them loses theirs, and we had Rainbow Dash in there so I could put some of her gears back, I was listening to some music and started to dance a little. I bumped into Rainbow, causing her to fall over and fall pretty hard. I put her back in Cloud's Cove and turned her on. I acted as if everything was okay and let her walk out of her area when Pinkie called for her. Then some kid walked up to Rainbow Dash, looking for a hug. Rainbow bent down and took a huge chunk out of the kid's head, killing her instantly. I was never able to sleep after that night, not even in prison, without thinking of that kid's face. Her family loathed me, wanted me to pay for getting their little girl killed. I still remembered her, everything about her. Her name was Aura, she had an extremely light blue colored mane, an extremely light colored purple coat, blue eyes, and was too small to have been murdered in cold blood. She didn't even have her Cutie Mark yet. I've never forgotten her, and I never will.

It all happened on her birthday party, where her friends were at. And they had front row seats to it all.

I started crying, remembering Aura was something I didn't like to do. Fluttershy noticed I was crying and wrapped a wing around me.

"Shhhh, it's okay. It was all an accident." She said.

"I don't care." I said through gritted teeth. "I still got her killed, right in front of her family and friends. It was all my fault."

"But you didn't mean to break Rainbow." She said.

"Her friends and family all want me dead. I caused her to die. It's all my fault, all my fault. I've kept the memory inside of me, never trying to remember it for so long. But the faces, Faust, I could never forget all of their faces. Their reactions, and mine when I had noticed what I had done."

Fluttershy hugged me, and I hugged back. I hated thinking about Aura's death, but now it was all I could think about all day. Fluttershy got somepony else to watch the place while she took me out to the park to get my mind off of her. Luckily, it worked.

I went back at 12:00, ready to start my shift.

Then the phone rang as I sat down on my chair.

"Um, hey there." Flash said, I could hear banging noises in the background. "So, uh, yeah. Looks like you made it to night 4. Whoo hoo! Oh, Faust help me." Next Chapter: Night 4: It's All Starting To Come Back Estimated time remaining: 29 Minutes
