It was another day in Canterlot as the ponies went about their usual business. The train from Ponyville arrives letting off Twilight Sparkle, the newly crowned princess, and her friends the Mane Five and Spike. They were summoned to Canterlot by Princess Celestia, who wishes to speak to them about something urgent. No one knew what it was. The Alicorn of the Sun wishes to tell it to them in person.

"Ah gotta say, Twilight, yew seem rather...anxious." Applejack said. It's true, the cowpony notes how anxious her friend is getting. Whenever Celestia asked for her and/or any of her friends, Twilight is always anxious.

"I know, I get goosebumps just thinking about it." Twilight said with a slight sly.

"If a goose gets scared, when it could ponybumps?" Pinkie asks in amusement, making her friends laugh. They are used to the pony's behavior as long as they themselves had known her.

"To think, this happened right after my return from that other universe with the...two legged creatures. Uh, Spike? What do you call them again?"

"Humans and I was a dog." Spike remarks bitterly, recalling his previous adventure in which Twilight and Spike transformed into strange creatures: Twilight a human, him a dog. He pats Twilight on the leg, saying, "Relax. There's no reason to be anxious. The princess trusts you if she wants to tell you something...well, urgent."

"I am getting anxious even thinking about it!" Fluttershy exclaims nervously. "I am worried that we may not come back from this."

"Fluttershy, darling, don't be so scared." Rarity said with a smile to her meek friend. "It could be any sort of non-threatening mission, like taking care of endangered animals or helping diplomats or something."

"Oh, I hope you're right."

The group reaches the front gate. The Royal Guards let them in. Having been to this castle many times before, they knew how to get to the throne room by heart. And sure enough, in there right now is Princess Celestia herself, reading a scroll while waiting anxiously for her fellow new princess and the others to arrive. When she looks up, the Alicorn gave a warm smile, especially to Twilight.

"Twilight," Celestia exclaims as she got up from her friends and trots over to the group who came over. The Alicorn hugs the new purple princess gently. "Welcome back."

"It's good to see you again, princess." Twilight said with a warm blush for some reason. Whenever she is around Celestia...she felt comfortable."

"Now, now; you are a princess now. You can call me 'Celestia' if you wish."

"Okay...Celestia."

The two hug each other...as if getting more comfortable with one another. This amuses most of the others who saw this a few times before...whenever it involves siblings or lovers.

"You know, AJ, I betcha those two are secretly lovers." Rainbow remarks to Applejack with a slight smirk.

"Come on, Dashie, just because they be friendly like, doesn't mean they're..." Applejack yelps as she and the others are startled by what's happening next. Twilight and Celestia are giving kisses to each other, "Holy apples in a grinder!"

"Oh, sorry," Celestia said, sheepishly as she notices that the others are looking before letting go. "I supposed the secret's out..."

"Are you dating?" Spike asks Twilight and Celestia in bewilderment. "What about Flash and..."

"Spike, I'm a grown mare, I can see whom I like and haven't decided on who I want to be with yet." Twilight said, pushing a hoof in her mane while blushing. "Anyway, I haven't told you girls...I'm Bi."

"Bi what," Pinkie ask curiously, not understanding, "Bi polar, bicycle; Bi bi bi???"

"No...I'm into both genders. Surprisingly, so is the princess. We...have been seeing each other in secret and..."

"Ha! Told ya, AJ," Rainbow laughs a bit, slapping Applejack on the back while making her glare. "Just like you and me."

"Laugh it up, sugar cube, but one more move like 'dat an' yew can forget loving tonight!" Applejack exclaims to Rainbow, making her yelp.

"I'll be good, madam."

Celestia clears her throat, then prepares to get serious as she said, "That aside, Princess Twilight Sparkle, I've summoned you and your friends on an urgent matter...I am giving you a task that all of you six..."

"Seven." Spike said, reminding the princess that he's here.

"...seven can perform."

"So what task is it?" Rarity asks Celestia curiously. "Does it involve fashion; Gems?"

"Adventure," Rainbow ask while arching her eyebrows anxiously.

"Anything non-threatening," Fluttershy asks meekly to the princess. She is still hoping for the non-dangerous parts.

"I want you...to spend a few nights at a restaurant." Celestia explains calmly to the girls.

The seven blinks a bit, it was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. That...isn't what they're expecting. Rarity spoke up, "Princess, forgive me if this is sounding like questioning your order...but spending a few nights at a restaurant? We normally do slumber parties at home."

"Let me explain: a local restaurant is preparing to close at the end of the year. They needed someone to spend some nights there, hoping that by doing so, they can convince the local health inspectors that the place is safe for foals and adults alike. Honestly though, they could've at least try to fix the place up if they wish to save their place of business."

"Ooooh, in one part of that sentence, you sounded like a family foal place!" Pinkie exclaims, bouncing up and down eagerly.

"So Celestia, what is this place?" Twilight ask her fellow princess/secret lover at times curiously.

"Ever heard of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza?" Celestia ask the group with a nod, getting to the name of the place.

Twilight's eyes widen in horror...as memories of her past break in. As her time as a filly...sneaking into the Backstage Area in hopes to get a special treat...what the Freddy mascot has done when...the Alicorn sweats in fear and worry. Ever since that day, Twilight has vowed never to step hoof in Freddy's again, because...

"Twilight; Twilight," Spike exclaims, shaking Twilight to snap out of it. "Is something wrong?"

"You look trouble, honey." Celestia said to Twilight, noting the new princess's troubled look.

"I'm fine, really." Twilight said slowly while giving out a nervous look. She can't tell anyone, not even her lover, what she just saw. "Err, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza you say?"

"Ooooh, I love that place!" Pinkie exclaims with a wide grin while her ears perk up. "Their pizza is fine and so is the entertainment! I haven't been there for who knows how long."

"But Celestia, why does Freddy's need someone to stay a week there?"

"They are hoping a princess would give the place its reputation back or making a publicity stunt." Celestia explains to Twilight, rolling her eyes. "Anyway, seeing how you si...err, seven had dealt with matters like that before, I thought I would volunteered you all to help the restaurant, help get it back on its hooves."

"No prob, Princess." Applejack said with a nod. "Ah guess 'dis mission won't be a problem. Spend a week there..."

"Eat all the pizza we want!" Pinkie exclaims with a happy squee. "Play with the funny robots."

"Tell spooooooky ghost stories." Rainbow spoke, saying the 'spooky' part eerily, enough to make Fluttershy squeak a bit in fright.

"Eat more pizza!"

"Probably offer some designer tips." Rarity said thoughtfully, putting a hoof on her chin. "Perhaps help spice the place up."

"Errr, sounds...nice," Fluttershy ask meekly.

"But Princess. Doesn't the restaurant have any security guards to watch the place?" Twilight ask Celestia nervously. She doesn't want to ever set hoof in Freddy's again, not after...the incident, "Why not you; Or Luna?"

"To answer the last question first, Twilight, we got other responsibilities and don't have time right now. As for the first one...we don't know. The security guards of the restaurant has a habit of...disappearing without a trace." Celestia said seriously to Twilight. This made the new princess more nervous and worried. 'Disappearing without a trace'?

"Twilight, come on. It will be fun!" Spike exclaims to Twilight with a grin.

Twilight gulps a bit. If she keeps on trying to find reasons not to go, her friends, Spike and Celestia will demand to know why. The last thing that the mare wants is to explain her...experience...and maybe lose Celestia as a love.

"Oh, very well," Twilight said with a slow nod. After all, it's only a few nights, right? Nothing can go wrong with that...right?

---------------------

Later, the ponies arrived in a part of Canterlot, where Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was located.

"Wow, you're bi, Twilight?" Pinkie asked with a grin, bouncing up and down. "I knew you and the princess got something for one another but, wow!"

"Pinkie, come on." Twilight said with a blush.

"Come on! It isn't like you're the only one who likes to play both side of the ball field! So does Fluttershy!" Pinkie exclaims playfully.

"P-Pinkie..." Fluttershy said meekly while blushing.

"So Twilight, ever been to Freddy's?" Spike asks while riding on Twilight's back.

"Errrr...when I was a little filly...but that was...years ago," Twilight said slowly. The others looks concerned upon hearing that. Their Alicorn friend appeared to be acting...scared ever since the subject of Freddy's was brought up. Why?

"Here we are." Applejack said, looking up.

The group arrived outside of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a storm began to brew as thunder and rain came pouring down. Twilight shuddered, glancing at the sign with Freddy right on it.

It's as she remembered it.

"Twilight; Twilight," Rarity said, pushing Twilight a bit, knocking her back to reality. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, really." Twilight said with a slow nod. She isn't so fine though.

The ponies and dragon entered the restaurant. It's already closed for the day and the place was already cleaned up. Only one employee was still there apparently.

"Hey! You can't come in here, we're closed." The employee snapped as he trotted over. Upon getting closer, the unicorn blinked a bit. "Oh. You must be the new princess that was just crowned...and her friends."

"Yes, yes we are." Twilight said to the employee, holding out a hoof. The two shakes hooves as she said, "Celestia has send us to watch the place for a week at night."

"Yes. My name is Starker." Starker said with a grin. "You don't remember me, princess, but I was here when you stopped coming around. I was asking your foal sitter if you were all right."

"No wonder you looked familiar." Twilight said with a slight smile.

"And these must be the Mane Five and the little lizard." Starker said, glancing at the others.

"Hey, hey; Dragon, Dragon; Not lizard; I don't do that tongue thing!" Spike protested in irritation, then stuck his tongue out at him.

"Uh, let me show you around your new home." Starker said as he began leading the group. "You must pardon the mess. I was the last one to leave."

"Well, this place could use some decorating." Rarity said, glancing at the hats. "I am a designer of clothes."

"And I am designer of parties!" Pinkie exclaimed, causing confetti to come from who knows where.

Starker laughed a bit, then got serious as he explained, "Princess Twilight Sparkle, please let me explain. The restaurant has been on hard times lately and because of health violations, it's scheduled to close at the end of the year. The bosses felt that a princess's approval could help us get funding to fix the place up, extend it a bit."

"No problem! We will make this place Super Duper fun in no time!" Pinkie exclaimed, bouncing up and down.

Starker led the ponies and Dragon around. Although Twilight remembered the place by heart (and maybe Pinkie does, too), the others don't. Starker showed them the game area, the restrooms, and the dining room.

"And this is our main attraction." Starker said, leading the group to the stage which curtain was still open. "Fillies and Dragon, meet Freddy Fazbear and company."

The group now came face-to-face with Freddy and his pals, who were still standing on stage like they normally do during performances. Twilight blinked a bit at the gang. They were still the same after all these years...and yet, there's something about that appeared...off.

"Hi, Freddy and company," Pinkie said happily while waving to them.

"This is Bonnie the Bunny." Starker said, introducing Bonnie. He then motioned to Chica, "Chica the Chicken; and the leader of the gang, Freddy Fazbear."

As if on cue, Freddy then activated, speaking into his mike, "Hey, kids! Are you ready to have some fun? Well, we're going to have some fun, right Bonnie?"

"Sure do, Freddy!" Bonnie exclaimed in agreement. "Well, I couldn't have any reason not to have any fu..fu...fu...fu...fu.."

Bonnie said the 'fu' part repeatedly. Starker groaned, got on stage and hit the bunny hard with one hoof.

Bonnie finished, "...fun."

"Sorry about that. These robots are years old. They tend to glitch every now and again." Starker apologizes to the visitors sheepishly.

"Didn't you think of fixing them up?" Twilight asked Starker in concern.

"Yeah, there's another problem. Because of the incidents that happened here in the past, no company would go near the place with a wing." Starker said with a sigh.

"I can also see why." Rarity remarked, gagging as she sniffed something. "By the mane of Celestia, when's the last time these guys had a bath?"

"Yeah, the major reason for the health violations: the parents are complaining about the smell." Starker explained with a sad sigh, shaking his head. "We never figured out why."

"Huh, imagine 'dat." Applejack said, glancing at the robots curiously.

"Girls, why don't we move on? Move on!" Twilight insisted frantically, wanting to move away from the Soundstage.

"Oh, come on, Twilight; don't tell me you're freaked out over animal figures." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes to tease her friend in her spooked behavior over Freddy and his gang.

"It's not that, it's just...I don't trust them." Twilight spoke while looking away, having a hard time stating something.

"Sugar, ye do realize them things ain't real or alive, they do as some gizmo programs them." Applejack raised an eyebrow in pointing out a fact that Freddy and the others are nothing but inanimate'd objects.

"It’s okay, Twilight, I know what you mean. Once, my toaster was acting weird, and at the same time, my hoof shoes kept disappearing. I think he was taking them, cause something turn it...eviiiil." Pinkie Pie popped near her friend to give her comfort, stating how she once experienced something weird with her appliance in the strangest and weirdest way; much to everyone's weird reaction to hearing that.

"Pinkie, darling, we told you before, that is simply impossible. You also said you ate an expired cake and that the doctor said you hallucinated the whole thing." Rarity rolled her eyes in telling her pink friend that she imagined the whole thing.

"Well, even still, that toaster seem like it was possessed!" Pinkie Pie protested to say this, as many of the serious members just shook their heads; this one can be random at times.

"Maybe you just ate some really expired food the last time, Twilight." Fluttershy spoke to comfort Twilight in what she went through was from eating something unhealthy to her. Whatever made the Alicorn uncomfortable by the robots, expired food must be the reason!

"Trust me, I wish it was that, but...it wasn't." Twilight spoke in looking almost frightened by the memories, no way that was a food-poisoning event that trigger such horrifying images.

"Man, you think these things could come alive at any....wooh!" Then Spike was yanked away by Twilight's magic before he even came near Freddy's stood body.

"DON'T GET NEAR THEM! DON'T APPROACH OR COME IN CONTACT! THEY'LL KILL YOU SO MUCH WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT!" Twilight was seen gluing her head to Spike in yelling out this message with a terrifued tone as if what the baby Dragon almost did would have ended in his death if not careful. Spike gulped hard in fear, not of the message, but at Twilight's action.

The Mane Five saw this in feeling like maybe Twilight needs help calming down. This place seemed to really get to her, and they couldn't figure out why.

"Uh, why don't we move away and continue the tour?" Starker suggested, knowing that Twilight is getting more scared.

The group couldn't help but agree. As they moved on, Applejack noticed an area that was closed off by a curtain; a sign that said 'Sorry! Out of Order' was front of it.

"Hey, what's in there?" Applejack asked, pointing a hoof at the curtain.

Starker looks at the curtain then explains, "That is Pirate's Cove, home of the swashbuckling pirate fox who roam the Equestrian Seas, Foxy the Pirate Fox."

"Why's this say out of order?" Rainbow asked in confusion. Out of curiosity, she opened a curtain to take a peek. There's an animatronic robot who is apparently sitting there as if alone and forgotten. Foxy was a large, animatronic fox with reddish brown, tattered fur. He had a hook as his right hand, and an eye patch that was folded over his right eye. Foxy wore brown linen pants that are especially shredded at the legs. He appeared to be damaged, as parts of his machinery were exposed. It could clearly be seen that his legs were completely bare, exposing the metal endoskeleton. His chest was ripped in some places, showing the endoskeleton beneath, and his arms and stomach were torn apart as well. He appeared to have a broken lower jaw, making it so that the mouth cannot close properly. He also seemed to have a slightly droopy left eyelid.

Like all of the other Fazbear characters, Foxy had a set of teeth. Foxy's teeth, however, appeared to be the sharpest, being similar to those of an actual canine, while the other animatronics' teeth resemble human-like dentures. It's also notable that, in keeping with the pirate motif, he has several golden teeth, and also appeared to have some teeth missing. His upper jaw muzzle was speckled on the sides with black dots, indicating either beard stubble or invisible whiskers.

"He has been decommissioned for years." Starker explained as he peeked in, sighing at Foxy. "We don't have the budget to fix him...and he's part of the family so we don't want to throw him out."

"Poor little thing." Fluttershy said sadly, feeling a bit sorry for Foxy.

"Why was he decommissioned?" Twilight asked in concern. Come to think of it, she recalled seeing Foxy during her days as a filly, but hadn't seen him for years to understand why.

"That is a story best left for another day." Starker said, closing the curtains as if wanting to avoid the subject for now. "Now then..."

As the group left, no one noticed that Foxy came to life, looking up and glaring to where they left. And as the group goes down a hall, not one of them saw Freddy's group coming to life, turning and glaring to where they went...

---------------

"And this is where you'll be staying the week." Starker explained as he brought the group into a security office. It had a fan that was cooling the room, a phone, drawings of Freddy and his pals on a wall, pictures of the cupcake, a panel with two buttons near each room, a chair to sit in, two windows that showed the hallways, and some sort of laptop. "We normally have security guards working the night shift, but for some unknown reason, we have trouble keeping them for a few nights or so."

Starker cleared his throat as he began explaining the stuff. He pointed to the phone as he said, "Now this is the phone."

"We know what a phone is." Spike remarked dryly.

"Yeah...and these are drawings if you wanna look at them, especially of the poster." Starker said, motioning to the drawer, along with a poster of Freddy and his pals on stage with the words 'Let's Celebrate' on it. He then motioned to the panels, "Now then, these panels are important. The top button opens and closes the door. The bottom turns the lights on."

Starker now picked up the laptop with his magic, giving it to Twilight as he continued, "This laptop shows the images of the cameras throughout the restaurant, one at a time."

Starker now motioned to a battery generator, explaining, "Now, because of our budget, this room is powered by a battery generator which recharges automatically every 6 hours. The cameras, doors and lights will drain so use them wisely."

"Anything else we should know, darling?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah, see that panel over there?" Starker asked as he pointed a hoof at a panel nearby. "That controls the AIs of the animatronics. Don't tamper with them. We don't want them to break down further than they are already."

"Okay, anything else?" Twilight asked Starker, arching an eyebrow.

"Hmm, what time is it?" Starker asked, glancing at the clock. He gasped, "Holy horse crap! It's 11:45! I am here longer than I thought! Uh, I will leave you alone now for your fun. Now, I got some few instructions let to give you. Rule 1, stay in this room between 12:00 and 6:00. No need to get lost in the dark. If you need to go, do so now!"

"Okay, I'll go now." Fluttershy said meekly as she slowly attempted to leave, not wanting to be around whatever was haunting the place.

"Get back here." Rainbow said, pulling her tail by the teeth, bringing Fluttershy back.

"I mean to go to the bathroom, duh!" Starker exclaimed, slapping his forehead with a hoof. "Second, check the cameras; check everything at all times! Use them whenever necessary. Third, try not to break the robots."

"But how can we if we aren't permitted to leave the room?" Spike asked Starker, puzzled. It wouldn’t make sense if the gang isn’t allowed to break the robots when they also aren’t allowed to leave the room!

"Now then, a former security guard of ours left recordings to give out to the newcomers here on the answering machine." Starker said, motioning to an answering machine connected to the phone on the table. "Listen to him no matter what."

"Okay, sounds easy so far." Applejack said with a nod.

"And finally...no matter what happens, make sure no one gets into the restaurant...and NOTHING comes out!" Starker exclaimed sternly. The last part caught the Mane Six's attention.

"Nothing... comes out?" Fluttershy asked a bit nervously.

"What is 'dat supposed 'ta mean?" Applejack asked suspiciously.

"11:48! Gotta go; I will leave you to it." Starker said. He didn't waste any more time in galloping out of the room. "Oh! And enjoy your week stay here at Freddy's."

Starker galloped out of the room, disappearing into the darkness. Twilight shudders, "I don't know why but I am concerned more than ever."

"I'm scared." Fluttershy whimpered.

"Relax, what could go wrong at a restaurant?" Pinkie asked happily.

Twilight wished that she shared her friend's happy nature right now.

---------------------------

12:00 AM, 1st Night

It is now midnight as the girls and Spike are keeping themselves busy. The baby Dragon manages to bring his comic books along for him to read. Rarity was discussing some design tips with Pinkie who is bouncing up and down while SOMEHOW manage to pay attention. Fluttershy was sitting in a corner, trying her best not to be frightened while Applejack and Rainbow are playing with some sort of mini-game that the Pegasus pony has found in the prizes area.

"Oh yeah, won again!" Rainbow exclaims with a grin as she had beaten Applejack at yet another game.

"Shoot. Ah could've sworn yew done cheated!" Applejack exclaims to Rainbow in frustration.

"Me? Cheat? Hay, you're talking to the Element of Loyalty here. I only cheat...sometimes!"

"Keep it down, will you?" Twilight scolds her friends. She looks at the cameras on the lap-top thing, checking on the images from each camera. Freddy and his pals are still on stage. Everything else is silent. Odd, for some reason, the camera for the Kitchen is broken. Twilight would've gone to see why...if she hasn't remembered that Starker told her and her friends to stay put in the security room.

Fluttershy got up and heads over to the drawings. She notes how cute they are, despite how this restaurant appears to be a bit creepy at nice. The yellow Pegasus pony thought back on poor Foxy, forgotten and broken down. What happened that made him decommissioned all these years?

What's more concerning Fluttershy is Twilight's behavior. The new Alicorn isn't thrilled to be coming back here for some reason. What happened?

Twilight changes the channel to that of the Backstage...the same one she was in years ago. The mare cringes as memories of what happened returned to her mind...

----------------

"All right, kids. You ready for Freddy?" The mascot asks the foals who cheers wildly. Twilight gave a wide smile. She is ready for Freddy! But then, the mascot then spoke in a dark voice, "Good...because Freddy is ready...for you."

Twilight watches in hiding, ready for the special treat...that is until the Freddy mascot opens a drawer...and pulls out some sort of sharp knife. The unicorn filly looks confused. What kind of special treat involves a knife? Is he gotta cut pizza or something?

Twilight's eyes widen as she watch what's happening in front of her. The cries of joy gave way to that of terror, slashing noises...that doesn't involve cutting pizza, but cutting something else. And because of the cheering and loud noises in the dining room area, no one else could hear what's going on! Twilight yelps in terror, feeling like she wants to scream as the mascot continues his business...then the foals are silent...forever. The mascot then proceeds in...

--------------------------

Suddenly the phone rang, causing Twilight to scream and threw the laptop into the air. Rainbow yelps and flew up to catch it in time.

"Oh, careful; we ain't paying for this baby if it breaks!" Rainbow scolds Twilight who calm herself down.

"It's just the phone, Twilight." Spike assures Twilight, glancing at the ringing phone.

Right, the phone; Twilight chuckles a bit awkwardly. Just the phone...but who could it be? It's the middle of the night, Freddy's is closed...and the only ones who knew that the Mane Six and Spike were here were Starker and the princess. The group decided to let the answering machine get it.

Sure enough, a stallion's voice is heard on the other end, "Hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night."

"This must be the same former security guard who used to work here that Starker told us about." Rarity said, glancing at the phone. Starker told the group to expect the former security guard's recordings.

"I like him! I will call him 'Phone Guy'." Pinkie said randomly, making her friends chuckle a bit.

The caller, known as Phone Guy, continues, "Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay? Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza; A magical place for foals and grown-up ponies alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property, pony, Dragon or any other species. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing species report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced.""

"Wait, what is 'dat supposed 'ta mean?" Applejack ask in concern, hearing the last part, "'Damage'; 'Death'? Is he saying 'dat someone dies on 'dis job?"

"Oh, I'm sure he isn't serious." Twilight said to Applejack, giving out a nervous chuckle.

"Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too." The Phone Guy's voice explains to the group though a hint of worry can be heard in his voice. "So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of foals and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay."

"Yeah, we would." Spike said with a nod.

"So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit."

"'Wander'?" Fluttershy ask, startled upon hearing that.

"Wait, what?" Rainbow ask, also startled. Is the Phone Guy also suggesting...that these robots are alive?

"Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night; Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Incident Bite." Phone Guy add, much to the girls and baby Dragon's concern, "Yeah. I-It's amazing that the pony body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?"

"What? What? What? Frontal lobe," Fluttershy ask, shivering in fear. She wants to leave and go home! The poor mare doesn't want to lose her frontal lobe!

Twilight's eyes shrank as she uses the camera to check on the robots. She recalled how the robots used to interact with the little ponies during the day time...but that was years ago when she was still a filly! What happened at the Incident Bite day that changed all that?

"Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watch-pony here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a pony, Dragon, griffin, whatever. They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh." The Phone Guy's explains, chuckling as if trying to give out a bit dark humor to this.

"He can't be serious!" Rarity exclaims, getting scared. There's no way that those robots are real...and can kill anyone by stuffing them into a suit!

"Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary; Gotta conserve power; Alright, good night."

A beeping noise came from the answering machine, meaning that the call is over. The Mane Six and Spike are worried, frightened and concerned. Why didn't Starker told them of the robots being able to move...and maybe tried to kill anyone after hours? The Phone Guy cannot be serious...can he?

Twilight and her friends look at the camera on the laptop; the image shows the Stage where Freddy, Bonnie and Chica stood in place. Fluttershy whimpers, "You don't think...he's right, do you?"

"Awww, come on, Fluttershy!" Pinkie exclaims happily to Fluttershy. "No way can those cute robots end up being killers!"

"Yeah," Rainbow laughs in disbelief while glancing at the camera image. "I mean, what, the Phone Guy is trying to kid us by saying that these guys..."

Suddenly something happens that spook the ponies: the animatronics turns to the camera, glaring right at them...without anyone interacting with them!

The girls and Spike screams in terror, with Rainbow finishing what she said in horror, "...can move?!"

-------------------------

Freddy and his pals watch as the camera is deactivated. They are guessing that the princess and her group must've switched the cameras or turn the laptop off.

"So are they really in there?" Chica ask Freddy curiously.

"Of course...all these years, she was there, knowing...we suffered because of her." Freddy remarks to his colleagues bitterly and angrily. "She should've told somepony...and we are left to rot in these robotic bodies."

"So what do we do, Freddy?" Bonnie asks Freddy curiously.

"Get them...or better yet, get the princess....she will have a lot to answer for for allowing that imposter to take our lives away...or not telling anyone where we are..."

Bonnie and Chica nods a bit. Despite having identifies issues between their robotic forms and...their true forms, theirs and Freddy's mission is clear: Twilight Sparkle must die!

Author's Notes:

The first night begins, but will Twilight and her friends make it through the night alive? More to come so read, review and suggest.

Yes, folks, I'm going for Twilestia in this, but I also made Twilight a Bi too. Got a problem with it?
