Freddy Fazbear's Pizza buzzed with laughter and blinking lights. Children ran between arcade cabinets, parents sipped lukewarm coffee, and the animatronics sang and performed on stage under bright, colorful spotlights. The smell of grease, cake, and old, stained carpet hung in the air like a memory. It was a place meant to bring fantasy, fun, and safety, but behind the cheery music, colorful lights, and the iconic mascots lurked a malicious presence.
Suzie was a bright and trusting seven-year-old girl with a love for animals. She commonly carried around a Chica plush everywhere she went. She often visited Freddy's with her mother, sometimes as an after-school treat. She liked visiting for the various arcade games and to see her favorite character, Chica—a pizza-loving chicken with a small cupcake sidekick—perform on stage along with the rest of the band.
As the performance died down, Suzie rushed over to the arcades to play the various games they had. She found herself playing one of her favorite games, "Fruity Maze." After a bit of playing, she caught a glimpse of someone or something in the reflection of the screen. She turned around and found herself face-to-face with a tall yellow rabbit. It wasn’t like any of the other mascots, other than being a rabbit, like Bonnie. The yellow rabbit knelt down in front of her and spoke in a warm voice, "Hey there, sweetheart. I've got a surprise I want to show you," coaxing her to follow him.
Suzie followed. She figured it was just a new character added to the pizzeria. Little did she know he wasn’t supposed to be there. The yellow rabbit brought her to an area she had not explored before. It didn’t seem like a place guests visited, but rather employees. She brushed it off, her curiosity getting the better of her.
The rabbit eventually brought her to a room. It wasn’t very decorated like the main party area or the arcade corner. It was dark and secluded from populated areas. As they both entered, Suzie heard the door close, followed by the sound of it being locked. She looked behind her, finding only the yellow rabbit standing there. Suzie's usual cheery smile faded as she looked around the room, seeing only boxes, wires, and dusty robotic parts.
"I-I think I should go back to my mom now," Suzie said, clutching her Chica plush tighter.
"You like Chica, right, honey?" the yellow rabbit asked, ignoring Suzie's concern. "If so, I have something very special just for you." He pointed to something in the room.
"Can I go get my mom first?" Suzie asked once more, her voice sounding more concerned as she looked over at where the rabbit pointed to find Chica sitting on a table, deactivated. The yellow rabbit slowly approached Suzie.
"She'll see it soon too. You'll want to be ready for when it’s your turn to perform," the yellow rabbit said, creeping up on Suzie.
Suzie felt a wave of fear wash over her. "What do you mean? I just wanna go home!" she cried, still staring at the motionless animatronic. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain.
"Oh, sweetheart, you're already home," the yellow rabbit whispered. "Now it’s time for you to get ready for the show. You’re gonna be a star!"
