It was fairly dim, but it wasn't dark. It was morning, but it wasn't bright. Circus Baby's Pizza World just wasn't opened for the day yet. An animatronic bear glared down at the checkered floor, he was awake, but not active. One of his limp arms held a bunny hand puppet which was also limp, it's eyes closed while the bear's own eyes were wide open. It was the bear's eighth day on stage, all the kids adored and loved him, he seemed more popular than Circus Baby herself. Suddenly, the lights flickered on.. it was showtime, it was time to perform for all the lovely, little 'cupcakes and muffins' coming here today. Well.. almost time, the doors to this place had to be opened before any kiddos showed up to watch the lovable bear sing and tell stories. The bear then perked up from his limp position, lifting his right arm up as he took the time to gaze around the room. All the tables were set with colorful plates, cups, and utensils, the walls were covered with sprinkles of confetti and vibrant posters featuring the other lovable animatronics here. The bear blinked a few times before turning his head to where his right hand would be, but instead of a hand, a bunny hand puppet was there. The bunny had a soft smile while the bear had more of an eager smile. The bear would then murmur to the blue bunny
"Ready, Bon Bon?"
He'd ask as the bunny responded with a simple nod. The bear would chuckle in amusement, then facing forward while the bunny named Bon Bon piped up in a somewhat bored voice
"Y'know Freddy.. it gets kinda boring just standing here singing to kids.. I wish we could roam around freely sometimes.."
Funtime Freddy turned his head back to the blue bunny with a somewhat confused expression
"What do you mean..? It's fun entertaining the little kiddos, I wouldn't want to do anything else!"
The bear replied in a calm, yet unamused voice, then turning back forward to where he was facing. Funtime Freddy could hear some commotion from outside, his ears swerving to where the sound came from. Turns out, children were causing the commotion. The bear eagerly smiled, ready for another fun day of.. well.. fun! The animatronic bear couldn't contain his excitement as children began to come in like a stampede. The parents of these little 'cupcakes' were nowhere to be found, but they were probably just letting their children let loose a bit without supervision. Funtime Freddy gazed at each and every child coming in, waving hello to them. Then suddenly, random thoughts made their way into the animatronic's mind. He was unconsciously counting each and every child that made their way in. There were twelve children.. no.. there was one hiding under the table with a mischievous look on his face, so there were thirteen. A majority of the children came up to the bear like birds waiting for someone to put bread down on the ground for them. The children were waiting for Funtime Freddy to sing in glee and joy. The bear kept his eager smile of excitement as he greeted the children with a jolly tone
"Well hello there little muffins! As you probably know, I'm Freddy!"
As the purplish pink animatronic bear spoke, he then waved his right arm a little as he continued
"And here is my good ol' friend, Bon Bon! Say 'hi,' Bon Bon!"
The bunny would wave hello on Funtime Freddy's command, having a soft, yet genuine smile as his ears perked up. The bear would chuckle, then gazing back down at the eager children who couldn't contain their excitement. He began to joyfully sing and tell tall tales to the joyful children who had wide, happy smiles. Though his own thoughts were focused on entertaining the children, Funtime Freddy was still unconsciously counting the children. There were still thirteen children.. he thought. Why was he even counting them anyway? It's not like they'd get lost or suddenly poof away from where they were. Yet, the animatronic continued to entertain the children along with his hand puppet as usual. Then, after awhile, some adults came to pick up their children. Thirteen children turned to twelve, to ten, to nine, to seven, to four, then.. one. One child was left, and she seemed sad and lonely. Funtime Freddy's performing came to a halt, gazing at the blonde haired girl nearby as he asked
"Hey.. what's wrong little cupcake..?"
He'd tilt his head and the girl turned to face the bear, having a somewhat worried expression as if she knew something bad was about to happen. The animatronic bear gestured for the girl to come closer while Bon Bon simply watched in confusion. Funtime Freddy glared down at the girl, saying in a somewhat deeper voice
"Don't be scared.. good ol' Freddy is here.."
The bear would open up his arms for a hug, the girl softly smiling as she jumped up to hug him. The animatronic bear wrapped his arms around the girl, she was content and happy now. Funtime Freddy softly smiled, he was indeed a lovable bear.. then, he felt his torso plates open up that revealed his stomach cavity. It slowly opened up as the girl began to squirm a little, his hug was getting tighter. The animatronic was confused, why was his stomach opening up by itself..? Why did he have a tighter grip on-.. That's when Funtime Freddy felt one of his metallic rods driving out from his stomach cavity and piercing through the little girl. The girl screamed in agony as a scarlet red liquid gushed out from her stomach area. Tears began pouring out from her eyes like a waterfall while Funtime Freddy and Bon Bon watched in pure confusion and horror. Blood poured out from the girl's stomach and onto the checkered floor, staining the floor in a crimson red which probably wouldn't be able to be scrubbed off. The sharp, metallic rod was coated in scarlet red, the girl whimpering and trying to hold onto dear life. The metallic rod withdrew back into the bear's stomach cavity, dragging the poor girl with it. Funtime Freddy's torso plates then slammed shut with a metallic thump, the bear looking at where the girl used to stand with confusion and horror. He didn't know he could do this.. how and why did it happen..?
The animatronic bear's eyelids twitched a bit while Bon Bon whimpered in fear, it all seemed too sudden for both the bear and the bunny to process what just happened. Funtime Freddy slowly focused his glare on the blood stained floor, frozen still in shock. Poor little cupcake.. they all didn't know this would happen, and she was receiving the warmest hug to ever get right before her gorey demise. Poor cupcake. The bear felt terrible, yet.. thrilled..? What was this feeling of thrill and rush of adrenaline..? The animatronic's shocked frown formed into a small, soft grin as his ears lowered with a click. Funtime Freddy would let out a deep chuckle.. this was indeed a rush of adrenaline he never had, it was something he experienced just now.. and it was.. fun..? His left arm went limp while his other arm, which held Bon Bon, remained stiff. The blue bunny would slowly turn to the purplish animatronic bear, asking in pure shock
"Wh.. what did you do-?!"
The animatronic bear's right ear perked up with a click, the bear chuckling once again before he muttered in a somewhat malicious voice
"I haven't a clue.. but it was quite the rush.."
Funtime Freddy's ears lowered once more, his soft grin widening a little as the room fell under an eerie silence that even the commotion outside couldn't break. This wasn't going to be the bear's only victim.. she was only one of many.

It was dim and silent, sunlight peeking through the warehouse door while the animatronic bear lay limp in a sitting position. There was no one else, but that old hag that came in to check the bear's condition every now and then. It had been a week or so since Funtime Freddy was found by that old man and taken in instead of just being left there in the ditch on the side of the road to rot, he should've thanked him somehow. Yet, predators didn't thank prey no matter what the prey did to please the predator, but that old hag didn't know this was a predator.. waiting in the shadows to pounce and drag it's prey into the shadows to be chewed up. The animatronic bear remained limp and silent, only his thoughts providing him company.. well.. he used to have company. A 'right hand' man to be exact, and quite literally his 'right hand.' The thoughts of the bear's former bunny companion saddened him, he wanted to see that chubby, blue face with rosy red cheeks again.. but he was gone now, and he knew exactly how the bunny 'kicked the bucket.' The animatronic bear let out an almost inaudible, yet deep sigh, trying to push his thoughts away. But he was alone and it was silent, loneliness and silence left room for thoughts of the past and former friends. Speaking of former friends, Funtime Freddy remembered the time that.. Circus Baby..Baby.. he couldn't exactly remember. Anyhow, he remembered when he 'exiled' Baby from the amalgamation known as 'The Ennard,' he never truly thought that she was a good leader. She felt too much remorse for her actions. Yet, after that fire.. he was forced to find his old suit once again and be reminded that he had no one now. No one was his friend, nothing was what he heard.. silence.. that's all that-..
The door to the warehouse creaked open, Funtime Freddy's bright blue eyes suddenly looking up. Was that old man coming again to tell stories about his granddaughter while the bear said nothing..? Boring.. wait.. that wasn't the old man. It was someone completely different. It was a girl, a teenage girl with black hair wearing a dark gray hoodie along with jeans and winter boots. Was this that old man's granddaughter he had been told about..? From what he remembered, that old man said his granddaughter had black hair and often wore a dark colored hoodie. The description fit the bill of the girl, and she looked extremely miserable. Why did that girl look like her dog died-? Oh wait.. yep, that was a goth girl, her black choker and jewelry gave it away. The cat was already out of the bag. The girl was gazing at the animatronic bear with a curious expression, what was she thinking about doing? Whatever she decided to do, she wouldn't make it out alive. This was just another victim to add on to the list of countless victims which died at the paws of Funtime Freddy. Yet, this was different. He heard goth girls always thought of death as some boy in a boy band, which was clearly a joke to him. So maybe.. maybe he could arrange the perfect 'date with death' for her! The animatronic bear could let her choose from the countless options of how someone could 'kick the bucket!' Funtime Freddy would've chuckled, but didn't. He watched as the girl pried open his torso plates and made herself comfortable in his stomach cavity. Everything was going exactly how he planned it.. it was going exactly how it was going to go down..
