Chapter Text

Y/N closed their car door and looked at the mall style building in front of them. A bright neon sign of a bear with a top hat over the words Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex loomed on top of the building. The building was huge! Not at all what you were expecting when they where told that their new client was a Pizzaria Company. Sighing in annoyance you walked to the sliding doors leading into the Pizzaplex. Walking inside you were met with even more neon and loud 80's style music. 'Really going for the 80's rock gimmick huh?' You looked around trying to figure out what to do. You weren't really given much info just told that the company was hiring the firm to make sure that their disclaimer policies where up to date and that the staff met the requirements of the policies, which in itself was strange. 'Why did they need the firm to inform the staff of policies? Wasn't that the companies job? Did the employee contracts not state any of this? If they didn't then that was a major slight on the companies part and more work for the firm to do.' You once again sighed even more annoyed at your thought. It wasn't like you hated your job, in fact, you loved it. Especially after going through all those years of school and cramming for the BAR. The internship with Clarke's Law Firm was the best thing you had ever done. Mr. Clarke, sorry Matthew, was amazing and let you do as liked as long as it got the job done and wasn't illegal. Matthew knew what kind of work was best for you and he let you take the lead in investigating and finding out all the loopholes and problems within the clients businesses. It really was the best job plus the pay was amazing. You would do anything for Matthew, he taught you the in's and out's of business and contract law. It really was a dream come true. If only this job would be as quick and easy as all the others, but judging by the amount that Fazbear Entertainment paid just for a policy inspection and education, it would be anything but. 

"They told us someone would be here to meet me, but I don't see anyone and I ain't paying to go inside a job. Kinda counterproductive to pay a company paying me.", you muttered to yourself, pulling out your phone. "Maybe I should call Matthew? He might know what I'm supposed to to." Just as you were about to press the call button you felt a hand tap your shoulder. Raising your hand you quickly spun around ready to hit whoever had snuck up behind you. Thankfully you froze before your hand made contact.

"Woah, sorry there....Didn't mean to startle you. Y/N, right?", a small mousey man stood in front of you, arms raised up in a surrender pose. 

"Ummm....Yes, sorry. Hello there my name is y/n, l/n from Clarke Law Firm. Its a pleasure to meet you Mr....?", you snapped back into your business persona, raising your hand for a handshake, you smiled politely.  The man paused before slowly talking your hand and smiled meekly.

"Simon...You don't have to use the Mister. You are higher up the ladder than me after all. Mr/Ms L/N. Now, then I was told to give you a tour of the place and to take you to the staff that you would be working with.", Simon said and started walking away. He lead you to the admission gates where he swiped what looked like an ID card on a lanyard before he handed it to you. 

"This is yours by the way.", he handed the card over, "Its a special pass that was made for you. Since you know your not an actual employee of the company and corporate said you would need all access to do your job.", he said nervously.

"Thank you, Simon.", taking the card you give it a once over, it seemed to be just a regular swipe card. Shrugging you put the lanyard over your neck and looked at Simon once again smiling.

"Lead the way, Simon.", you waved your hand in front of them. Simon smiling nervously and started walking explaining the layout of the Pizzaplex and a little about the companies history. He explained a little about the Glamrocks, their history and personalities and how they interacted with guests. As you walled past Glamrock Row you looked into the rooms through the open curtains, trying to gleam any info you could about the bands animatronics. They seemed very sophisticated from what you could see and the way that Simon explained them made it seem like he was talking about any other human coworker.

"I'm sorry to stop you, but the way your talking. They have programmed personalities right. Sorry if I seem rude, but I don't really know much about robotics or programing. Are they alive?", pausing in your walking you looked at Simon who appeared a little scared.

"Well....ummm.....I-I-I mean...In a way yes.", he looked around before making a come closer movement with his hand which you did. Getting a little close like you two where kids sharing a secret.

"Between you and me. They seem human. Each one did have programmed personalities by the have developed quirks and personalities well beyond what they were programmed with. IT says that they all have learning capability and it was made so they could learn how to interact with different types of guests. Some of the animatronics are really great. Freddy is such a great guy and really looks out for us human staff and Chica is such a mother hen, though she does have quite a eating habit. Roxanne is a bit self centered and Monty has anger issues, but they are still approachable...mostly." Simon leaned away from you after his little speech. Looking at you he seemed to be waiting for your reaction. After a while and a quick run down of all the info you where given you nodded your head.

"So you and the rest of the human staff treat them like regular coworkers?", you asked him. He seemed like an excellent source of company information and you would need all the info you could get to complete your job.

"Well most of us do, but truthfully there is not a lot of human staff to begin with.", Simon continued to walk and you followed.

"There isn't a lot of human staff?", you asked confused.

"No. Not really. I think the only reason the company keeps us is to make the guest feel comfortable seeing some human faces but we don't really have jobs per say. Its more like we are just another attraction really, but can't complain. After all the pay is good.", Simon's eyes widened. Seeming to realize he was spilling company secrets to someone who was hired by said company.

"I...mean its not like I'm complaining....I mean.....Please don't fire me.", he begged you grabbing your arm in a panic. You gently but firmly grabbed his arm and pulled it off you.

"With all due respect, Mr. Simon. I'm here only to do my job which does not include spilling company secrets or firing anyone.", you stated firmly. He seemed to deflate in relief.

"In fact, I really would like to know everything about not only the company, but the staff as well. Human or otherwise. It will make my job easier and if my job is easier the quicker I will be out of your hair." Simon looked at you a bit before nodding.

"I think I can do that.", he stated before walking. He continued the tour showing you all the attractions as well and small info about the animatronics that they were modeled after. You learned a lot about the Pizzaplex. Like how they had S.T.A.F.F bots for almost everything from food to cleaning and even security. It was kind of scary how there seemed to be a lack of human faces at all and those humans that did work there were hidden underground in Parts and Services or in the security rooms. You even learned more about the Glamrocks. Mainly about their personalities and quirks. Freddy was a total dad, but a bit of a pushover and a major people pleaser. Chica was sweet and friendly, but she had a garbage eating habit and was a bit of an air head. Roxanne was really self centered, but apparently had self esteem issues according to some staff that worked with her. Monty had major anger issues and was a little rough around the edges but seemed to be friendly if not a bit flirtatious to those who become close to him. 

It was kind of impressive how human the animatronics where. It would make your job easier since they understood human interaction and socialist norms. The tour continued for about 2 hours before they stopped at a brightly lit area of the Pizzaplex. 'This place really was huge.' The area your were in lacked the 80's neon style of the rest of the building and seemed more like a kaleidoscope of colors and had a distinct fantasy theme. A giant slide that lead down to a ball pit moat surrounded by a soft foam castle wall. Two giant play structures dominated the soft matted floor of the room below. It was encased in glass and what looked like baseball style netting. Two giant doors made up the entrance of the area. It looked like a child's dreamscape.

"This is Superstar Daycare.", Simon said leading you to the giant doors. "This is actually where you job will be."

"The Daycare?", you questioned raising and eyebrow. 'Why did daycare staff need to be educated about policies? Weren't they all about child health and safety?'

"Yes...welll.....Its where we need the most help.", Simon said nervously, side eyeing the door.

"Pardon my questioning, but isn't it irresponsible for daycare staff to not look out for the safety and well being of the children. It seems to me the company need to fire the employee's and hire competent staff. Not have me watch and educate them on why they need to keep children alive!", y/n said heatedly. 

"Well you see....that's the thing. There is no daycare staff...At least not any human staff.", Simon said quickly.

"Wait...What?!", you paused confused, "Then who is taking care of the kids?"

"That would be the Daycare Attendants. They are celestial themed animatronics. I actually don't know much about them to be honest. No one really works with them. From what I've heard they are a little high strung and a lot to handle for most people. A lot of parents complain about them and a couple of kids have been...well scarred mentally from them. Its why your firm was hired. The company thought that maybe someone from the outside could...well....educate them on how to be more sane and make them a little more social.", Simon said this nervously trying to calm you down.

"So let me get this straight....My firm was hired to babysit the babysitters. Am I getting that right?",y/n said this angrily while glaring at Simon.

"In a way...yes.", Simon looked at you apologetically. Your anger grew like a raging fire. You took your phone out of your pocket and raising your finger in a one second motion you walked away and called Matthew. 

After explaining the situation to them and somewhat raging, Matthew calmly told you to do the job.

"What do you mean do the job? I'm a lawyer Matthew. Not a god damn babysitter.", you whispered angrily glancing at Simon who was still standing nervously by the door.

"Look they hired us to educate and inform the staff. The bots are staff as unconventional as it is. Looking into the lawsuits and history of them, well, its obvious they need help. So help. Your aren't affiliated with the company which means the rules don't apply to you. You do what you think needs to be done legally. Including fixing any issues that the bots may have that might cause a legal issue. If you catch my drift.", Matthew stated calmly.

"So I make my own rules and do my own thing. Screw the company rules as long as the job gets done and the bots keep to the company quota?", you asked calculating.

"Exactly. Have fun y/n. Show them what your made of."

"Fine. I'll do the job. Who knows it might be kinda fun? Oh does this mean I don't have to go to the office?"

"Well you can't help the bots over here, can you. No, until the job is done as you deem fit, your office is the daycare. If you have any problem, any at all, don't hesitate to contact me. Talk to you later, y/n."

"Ok. Talk to you later, Matthew.", you sighed hanging up the phone. Looking at the doors you take a deep breath and let it out. 'Well lets get this shit show started' 

Chapter Text

You walk up to the nervous Simon who stares at you fidgeting with his hands.

"Is everything ok?", he asks nervously.

"Yes, everything is right as rain. Just…. peachy. So, I'm guessing this is where I am to meet my.... coworkers.", your say with as much enthusiasm as a wet cat.

"Yes...umm...well...shall we head in.", Simon says clearing his throat. He looks at the door anxiously before looking back at you and pushing open the door. Walking inside he leads you to what looks like a security desk and stood beside it.  He looks around, seeming to be looking for someone. 'Where was the Attendant?'

"Sun are you here? I have someone I need to introduce you too.", Simon yells into the empty and quiet space. ~Silence~

Then you hear a sound coming from the ball pit which has you both looking towards it. Seeing nothing near the pit you look around until you spot what looks like a balcony with a curtain over it. Confused you continue to stare, watching as a large orange robotic hand pushes the curtains to the side and reveals and animatronic. He stepped out onto the balcony and looked down at where you and Simon where standing.

He looked like a jester with his puffy red and yellow striped pants. His pants stopped at his calves where they were wrapped with red ribbon and had two bells. He was painted in an ombre shading from orange to yellow across his chest. The same ombre shading seemed to be done on his limbs which started on yellow and faded to orange. On his wrists and lower part of his arm was wrapped red ribbon that had two bells situated on his wrists. Behind his pants was a train that was cut in a V-shape downward. The train was red on the outside and what looked like a yellow glitter on the inside and had a red sash that was wrapped around his waist.  His neck was also wrapped in red scarf that ended into a bow at his lower throat. Surrounding his face panel was what seemed to be sun rays that spun as he smiled and waved at you too, before he jumped off the balcony and dived into the ball pit below. Your eyes widened in a panic as you saw him jump and you moved to run, only to stop when he surfaced and got out. He shook loose any balls that stuck to him and started to skip toward where you and Simon where standing. Once he was in front of you two, he broke into a huge grin rocking side to side excitedly.

“Hello, Simon. What brings you around to the daycare? Have you come to play with us? Or maybe maintenance? But we don’t have anything scheduled.”, the jester talked quickly and in an almost jittery tone.

“No. Nothing like that Sun. I’m actually here to introduce you to your new coworker. This is Ms….”, Simon didn’t get to finish as you were suddenly grabbed and pulling into a spinning hug.

“OH! A New Friend. Oh goodness! We haven’t had a new friend in a while. Oh, we are going to have so much fun playing with the children.”, Sun said excitedly as he spun you around and around, making you dizzy.

“SUN!!”, Simon yelled,” Put her down this instance.”

Sun stopped his spinning and gasped as he looked down at you before he gently and slowly put you back on the ground, holding you shoulder to steady you. You grabbed his arm as the world spun around not letting go until the vertigo passed. When Sun was sure you wouldn’t topple over, he let go of your shoulder, stepped back hanging his head in shame. He crossed his arms over his chest and seemed to hug himself with a frown.

“Now as I was saying”, Simon started,” This is Ms. L/N. She is going to be your coworker starting from today. She is here to observe and monitor you and Moon and she is to report and fix any problems that she sees you make. She is Not here to help you with the kids, that is your job. She is only here to watch and observe you. Nothing else. Do you understand?” Simon spoke sternly to Sun who seemed to wilt as Simon spoke.

“Yes Simon. I understand. I’m very sorry about my behavior Ms. L/N. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Sun said dejectedly as he held his hand out to you. You looked at his hand and back at him, taking in his wilted frame and sad face. It broke your heart. He seemed like such a sweet guy. It wasn’t his fault that he got excited about meeting a new person. After all, from what Simon had told you it seemed like he didn’t get to interact with anyone but the kids and that was only for few hours at most. Taking a deep breath, you brushed his hand aside and stepped up to him, gave him a hug. You felt his body stiffen as he gasped in surprise before you felt him gently wrap his arms around you to hug you back. After a minute, you pulled out of the hug, and smiled up at him gently.

“Its nice to meet you too, Mr. Sun. Please call me Y/N. We are coworkers now, after all. I hope to get to know all about you soon.” You spoke to him gently, what can you say he brought out the softie in you. Sun looked down at you in surprise before he broke out into a small smile.

“Oh… well…I’m not a mister.’, he mumbled awkwardly, “You can just call me Sun. We are coworkers, after all.” He seemed to be avoiding you gaze as he started rocking back and forth on his heels and fiddling with the ribbons on his wrists.

“Ah hum”, Simon cleared his voice bringing the attention back to him, “Well now that the introductions are in done with. I’m going to leave you two to it. Sun be sure to talk to Moon and to inform Ms. Y/N about him. She is going to be interacting with the both of you.”

“Will do, Simon. You can count on me.” Sun said, raising one of his arms in a mock salute. Simon just sighed and looking at you in what seemed to be…. pity…. he walked out the door, closing it behind him.

An awkward silence followed as you just stared at the door until the ringing of bells grabbed your attention. Turning your looked up at the animatronic and stared, trying to get a better look at him. He was lanky and tall…like hugely tall, you only came up to his hips when he was standing up. Now that you got a better look at his face, you could see it was orange on one side and tan on the side that looked to be shaped like a crescent moon. His rays had an ombre shading to them that where orange at the base and flowed to a yellow tip. He had white eyes and blue pupils, that at the moment were looking anywhere but at you. The bow on his neck had a golden sun emblem, it was really cute. On his feet where some funny jester style shoes that had bells on the points. Looking closer you see a sun symbol on the outside and a moon on the inside. You thought back to the hug remembering how squishy he had been. You had expected him to be hard and cold since he was after all metal, but he was covered in what seemed to be a silicon type of covering and warm as well. Maybe it was to make the kids and parents more comfortable. If they thought the attendant felt as if he had skin and body heat, then the kids wouldn’t be as scared and the parents as nervous. You looked down to his hands which had orange palms and yellow fingers. They really did not skimp on the details.

Looking up at Sun again you tilted your head before you decided to just break the ice.

“How do you play hide and seek with that many bells on?” You asked, startling him. He quickly looked at you his face an expression of surprise before he shyly lowered his eyes and fiddled with his ribbons again.

“I stay really still, though I don’t do a very good job. Moony is better at it. He is an expert hide and seeker. He never loses. Besides the bells are necessary for the kids that are hard of hearing. So that they can find us.” Sun said cheering up at the mention of Moon.

“Oh! That’s really neat that you were bells the kids. By the way, where is Moon? Is he around here somewhere?” You asked looking around. Simon did say you would be working with both Sun and Moon but the only one that you had met so far was Sun.

“Umm…Well he kinda is here now actually. Its hard to explain” Sun said nervously once again fiddling with his ribbons.  You noticed he seemed to do that when he was uncomfortable.

“Ok well can you explain it the best you can. I’m sorry if this conversation is uncomfortable, Sunny, but I really need to meet you both. I will be working with both of you after all. I can’t just observe you alone.” As you talked, you saw him stiffen which confused you. Had you said something wrong? Did you insult him?

“What…. what did you call me?” He asked you, staring at you with a blank expression. Anxiously you went over what you had just said trying remember what it was he was…….oh. Oh! Oh no! Darn you and your habit to talk before your mind could catch up.

“Oh, I’m so sorry, Sun. Umm it just slipped. I’m sorry. My mouth just sometimes runs away from me. It’s a bad habit and I’m sorry if I offended you. I know we just met and that might have made you uncomfortable. I’m really sorry.” You apologized profusely hoping you hadn’t screwed up the job before you had even started. ‘I mean sure the guy was friendly but we just met. It was way to soon to be dropping nicknames and being all familiar with each other.’ Looking up to look at him he just stared at you, shocked. After a while, he shook his head and smiled softly.

“Its ok. It didn’t make me uncomfortable Y/N. It was just surprising is all. No one but Moony has ever called my that. So, I was just shocked.”, he giggled awkwardly.

“Umm anyway, talking about Moony. He is here just not physically at the moment. You see, me and Moony share the same body.”

You looked at him in confusion.

“So, you guys are the same or different? How does that even work? Like how do you guys just share a body?” You blabbered out, as Sun just looked at you with and unreadable expression.

“Um well we are 100% different. We have our own personalities and thoughts. We are our own AI. We just share a body. We change with the light system. I’m out during the days and when the lights are on and Moony is out at night and when the lights are off.” Sun explained calmly.

“Huh…that’s actually really cool.”, You said processing the information, “So do you guys have the same job? Do you share a mind? Can you guys communicate with each other? Can you see what the other is seeing?”

You talked really fast kinda excited and insanely curious. Sun stared at you before chuckling loudly. You decided you like him laughing like that. It wasn’t a nervous giggle like before this seemed happier. You smiled to yourself proud that you made him happy a little.

“So many questions. Your really are strange. No one else has ever shown this much interest in us. It’s kinda nice.”, Sun said blushing a little, “Anyway to answer your questions we actually have different jobs. My job is to look after the children at the daycare and, while Moony does come out for nap time, his main job is security. We do share a mind though when the other is in control we usually rest and close ourselves off from the other. Though if we want, we can linger and be able to see and hear what is going on around the other. We can also talk to each other.” Sun finished smiling rocking back and forth on his heels with his hands behind his back. You thought through everything you had learned about the unique bot.

“That is really amazing. Its like you guys are never alone. You guys always have each other. It must be really nice. To have someone to lean on” You finished sadly. Shaking your head mentally you looked at him faking a smile.

“Sorry about that. So, if you guys can talk with each other may I meet Moon?” You asked politely. Sun paused tilting his head in what looked like thought. Before he turned his head back to you with a pout.

“I’m sorry, Y/N, but Moony doesn’t want to come out. He says he has heard this conversation and thus has meet you. He feels there is no need to meet you face to face.”, Sun says sadly.

“Oh. Well, that’s ok. I guess he is right. I have in a way met him, kinda. Anyway, it is very nice to meet you, Moon. I can’t wait to meet you in person and I hope we work well together.” You stated looking at Sun, hoping Moon was listening. Sun tilted his head again and you realized that he was talking to Moon. After a couple seconds Sun’s eyes widened before he turned red and he yelled,

“Language, Moony. I am so sorry, Y/N. Moony is being a bit of a meanie. Anyway, it is getting late and we still have work to be do.”, Sun said hurriedly, grabbing your shoulder and gently pushing you to the daycare doors, “It was very nice to meet you and I can’t wait to see you tomorrow. Good bye!”

He pushed you gently out the door before slamming it closed and locking it on you. You looked back extremely confused, tilting you head you watched as the lights went off. The daycare became shrouded in darkness, looking in you try to see if you can see the bots but the lights outside glare on the glass to the point that you can’t see anything but your stunned face. Sighing you turn around and walk to the entrance of the Pizzaplex feeling the hours of walking and the day’s events catch up to you. You think of you bed, imagining taking a nice relaxing bath and cuddling into the many pillows and plushies on it as you slept.

Inside the daycare a pair of red glowing eyes look at you. The animatronic stood at the glass where you had been standing, the light from outside keeping him hidden in the darkness.

‘She was really nice, Moony. Nothing like all the others. She even called me Sunny and hugged me back.”

The bot growled in annoying before speaking in a raspy voice.

“She is just like all the others, Sunny. She’s just trying to trick us.”

‘MOONY! She APOLOGIZED to me! No one has ever done that. I think she is gonna be different.’

Moony scoffed ignoring his counterpart he turned away from the glass.

‘You were just like all the others. Nothing was gonna change. He would not be fooled. Never again’

Chapter Text

The blaring of your alarm woke you up in the morning. Groaning you rolled over grabbing your phone you turned it off, letting your arms flop to the bed. You started to get up stretching your arms above your head till you heard your back pop, you got up, heading to your bathroom to get started on your daily routine of doing your business and taking a quick shower to wake up. You get out drying yourself you walk to your closet looking through your clothes thinking of what to wear. Deciding on dressing a little casual since you wouldn’t need to be in the office and were going to be around kids. You grabbed a pair of black skinny jeans with small silver chains hanging from the pockets, a white camisole that you paired with a lavender long-sleeved crop top hoodie, and your comfy black and white high tops. Satisfied with your outfit you walked to your kitchen where you prepared a simple lunch of a sandwich with carrots and dressing, as well as a bag of chips and soft drink, you packed it in your pastel galaxy themed backpack. Thinking a bit, you grabbed a water bottle and filled it before you grabbed your wallet from the counter and packed everything in your backpack. Once satisfied with everything you grabbed your keys and walked to your car, getting in and driving to the Pizzaplex.

It was 6:30 am by the time you got to the entrance of the daycare. Seeing the lights on you walked to the door, opening it and poking you head through, you looked around. Seeing no one around you walked in and to the security counter, dropping off you backpack and keys, you walked around looking for Sun. You head towards the moat, stopping under the bridge that connects the two play structures, when you hear humming. Creeping forward slowly you peak you head out around the corner of the play structure, spotting Sun. He was organizing the small tables and chairs in the area, putting craft supplies on each one. It seemed he didn’t know you where there, which made you giggle quietly. You listen to him humming as you watch him, recognizing the tune you smile. Slowly tip toeing up to him you stand a little behind him.

“Is that The Court Jester?”, you ask.

Sun jumps a little before turning around quickly spotting you, his surprised face makes you giggle.

“Oh goodness, Y/N! You startled me.”, Sun exclaimed.

“Sorry Sun. I thought you heard me come in, but I guess you were in your own world, huh?”, you grab your hands behind you back as you looked up at him, smiling.

“I was actually talking with Moony, so I guess I didn’t hear you.”, he said scratching at his cheek in embarrassment.

“Its ok. Nothing like a little scare in the morning to wake you up.”, you say giggling, “Oh good morning by the way and good morning to you as well Moon, or I guess its good night really. Sorry it’s a little confusing. Did Moon have a fun last night? What does he do at night anyway?”

“Good morning to you as well, Y/N. Moony is going into sleep mode right now. We were just catching up a little. Ummm, as to what Moony does at night well, he’s security. So, he basically patrols the Pizzaplex and makes sure that everyone is obeying the rules.”, sun states smiling.

‘She’s asking about you, Moony. She even greeted you. The least you can do is say something.’

‘Hmph. I don’t have to say anything, Sunny. I can’t believe you let her sneak up on you. We have sensors for a reason you know.’

‘I wasn’t expecting anyone, Moony. Don’t make this into anything bad. She was just being friendly.’

‘Whatever. I’m gonna get her back, just watch.’

‘MOONY! Don’t be mean to her. She is trying to help us plus she seems really nice.’

‘I don’t trust her. Anyway, I’m going to sleep. I don’t want to watch you socialize with the small fry.’

‘You don’t trust anyone and she’s not small. Ugh. Fine. Meanie.’

You watch perplexed as Sun was quite for awhile before you realized his head was tilted. ‘That means he’s talking to Moon. Hmm wonder what they are talking about.’ Deciding to give him time to talk to Moon, you just stand there looking around at your new work place. It was really colorful, the play structures all had images of the Glamrocks on them. The floor was made of soft squishy foam mats, probably in case any kids tripped or fell on them, so they wouldn’t get hurt. There was the ball pit moat that you saw yesterday along with the 2 rainbow bridges. The moat was surrounded by 4 foam castle pillars which hid 2 smaller play structures. It was much bigger that you actually thought, it really was a kid’s wonderland.

“Oh sorry, Y/N. I didn’t mean to ignore you.”, Sun spoke, making you look at him.

“Oh, its ok, Sun. I know you were talking to Moon. I hope I didn’t cause trouble or bother him. I really can’t wait to meet him tonight.”, you said happily.

“How did you know I was talking to Moony. Wait…. you’re going to stay tonight? T-t-to meet Moony?”, Sun asked both surprised and worried.

“Hmm well when you’re talking to Moon you tilt your head to the side and you kinda stare off into space,” you giggled, “and yes, I’m staying the night. I was given full access to the building, which now makes sense if Moon is security. So, I’m going to be following Moon around. I hope he doesn’t mind, but I do have to interact with him at some point.” You explain looking at Sun who seemed to be shocked.

‘She really is watching us. How did she even pick up on that? No one else notices us. I don’t know how I feel about this. We’ve never had someone pay such close attention to us.’

‘Did the brat just say she was going to stay the night!!!! Employees aren’t allowed to stay unless it’s IT and only if I call them! The hell she is staying! Tell her she isn’t allowed. Access Denied!!!’

“Ummm I’m sorry to say this Y/N, but employees aren’t allowed overnight. Its against the rules.”, Sun said nervously.

“Oh yeah…. well, here’s the thing. I’m technically not an employee. So, all the rules that apply to employees mean absolutely nothing to me. I make my own rules.”, you say smirking up at Sun, as you rocked on your heels.

‘The HELL she does!! NO. No way!!! I will not allow it!!! Sunny, do something!!!’

‘I can’t Moony. She’s right. Check the employee files. She isn’t on there.’

‘That just means she’s an intruder and intruders get punished.’

‘You know that’s not going to pass. She was introduced to us yesterday by Simon. He stated that she works here. Our systems will not see her as an intruder and you know it. Admit it Moony, she’s got you. Its kind of funny actually.’

‘It is not funny, Sunny. I will not be nice. I will make her leave. You better tell her, Sunny. If she stays I will not be happy and I will not have her follow me around like a damn dog.’

‘Must you use such language. You’ve been cursing this whole time. You know I don’t’ like it.’

‘I don’t give a damn. Tell her.’

You watch as Sun sighs and looks at you.

“Have a nice conversation with Moon. From you face I don’t think it was.” Your smirk widens. You figured Moon would have objections to you staying. Sun seemed to be ok with you, but from your interaction you guess Moon was anything but happy with you being there.

“Ah…. well, it wasn’t nice, per say.”, Sun says awkwardly, “Moony is not happy with you staying or with the fact that you aren’t going to abide by the rules. He says if you stay, he will not be happy. I really don’t think you should either, if I’m being honest. I won’t be there to help if Moon is mean to you and no one will be around if something bad were to happen.”

“What do you mean if something bad were to happen? Has Moon done something before? Is he going to hurt me? Cause if so, I will have to report this to the proper channels.” You question curiously.

“What?! No! Nononono. Moon would never hurt anyone. Not at all. Its in our programming to not harm humans. Its just he can be a bit…...abrasive in his mannerism. He can be a lot to handle really, but he is nice in his own way. He’s just well…….”

“A bit antisocial?”, you question.

“Yes, that. He’s antisocial. He doesn’t really interact with humans often and he doesn’t know how to handle himself around them. I just know he’s going to be rude and mean to you and I don’t want him to scare you off. You’re really nice and actually take the time to talk to us.”, Sun finished sadly.

“Awww. Don’t worry, Sun. He won’t scare me off. I wouldn’t be very good at my job if I couldn’t handle myself. I promise. No matter what Moon tries to do I will get through to him. I will be friends with him even if I have to force him into it.”, you say confidently.

‘Fat chance, short stack. Hahaha. Now I’m actually looking forward to tonight.’

Sun sighed dejectedly.

“If you’re sure, y/n. I guess I can’t stop you. Just please be careful. You’re going to be traveling in the tunnels underground and it is not safe down there. Please, promise me you’ll stay close to Moon.”, Sun sternly said, worry in his face. You looked up at him and smiling you held out your pinky. Sun looked down at your hand then you face, before he softly smiled, putting his much bigger pinky on yours.

“Pinky promise.”, you say.

“Pinky promise.”, he repeats laughing softly.

Suddenly, you both hear the door open and a child call out in excitement.

“Oh! Oh goodness. Will you look at the time? Oh, its drop off time already! I have to go, yes. Busy. Busy. I must check in the children and meet the parents. Excuse me, y/n, I must take care of the children.” Sun lets go of you hand panicking at the time, before he hurries to the front where a parent and child are waiting by the security desk. You watch him greet the parent in question before they leave. Sun smiles down at the child, conversing with them excitedly before letting the child go to play in the playground area. You slowly walk to the desk smiling and waving at the child as you pass them. The look at you confused before they also smile and wave at you, before continuing playing. You walk behind the desk and sit at one of the chairs behind it. Watching as Sun greeting each child and parent that came in. This continued for about an hour before the parents and children stopped coming in and Sun walked to the middle of the daycare, calling to all the children to gather as he explained what the activity for the day were going to be. Smiling you continued to watch him interact with the kids as the day drew on.

When Sun announced that it was nap time you got up and walked to the door, waving to catch his attention you pointed to your lunch bag, indicating you were going to be out taking a break. He smiled at you and waved you off as he understood your message. Closing the door softly behind you, you wandered over to one of the tables on the second floor of the day care. Sitting down to eat you looked toward the daycare seeing the lights off, figuring that Moon was out for nap time, you sighed and ate your lunch. Thinking about your earlier interaction with Sun and what little you had learned about Moon. It seemed like Moon was going to be difficult, but you were good with difficult things. In your opinion it made this job more fun. Sure, it was faster if it was easy, but you were actually enjoying yourself around the solar bot and it felt nice to wear casual clothes. You could be comfortable with this job and do as you like. It made you laugh that Moon was bothered by this. He and Sun seemed to be sticklers for rules and it seemed they did not know how to deal with that fact that their rules meant nothing to you. Tonight, was going to be fun, difficult, but fun. Smiling you finished your food and drank your soda. Seeing the light still off at the day care, you played with your phone until they came back on.

After throwing away your trash and using the facilities, you made your way back downstairs to the daycare. Opening the door, you waved to Sun before once more making your way to the chair you had occupied earlier. You continued to observe Sun with the kids, he really was a great caretaker. He was really kind with them, he played games and did crafts with them, expertly throwing in little lessons that the kids soaked up, all the while smiling and giving them his undivided attention. It made you smile at the clear love that was on his face when with them. Looking at the kids’ happy faces you smiled sadly, rubbing you left wrist you looked at you little butterfly tattoo, before you shook your head. Trying not to think sad thoughts you looked once again at Sun, seeing him looking at you, you stared back before smiling and waving to him. He just stared before he too waved. Tilting your head at him confused, he looked away, turning his attention back to the kids. So, the day progressed, Sun attended to the children and you observed him. Writing down little notes on what could be fixed or needed to be worked on, as you watched him. There really wasn’t much that you had written down, he was really good with the kids and seemed to handle them well, considering he was on his own. There were somethings that needed to be fixed but it wasn’t anything that had to do with Sun himself. More like they just needed more employees in the area. It was crazy that they wanted and expected Sun to do this all himself and perfectly at that. This many kids would be hard to handle for one person alone let alone 5 people and here Sun was doing it himself. It wasn’t fair to him or to Moon. It must be really stressful to do this every day, you felt sad for him.

Soon the day came to an end, as the kids were picked up one by one until the daycare was quiet with just you and Sun. Sun began to busy himself with cleaning up the mess left by the kids and you stood up to help him. Going to him you pick up and toys that you can see and put them in their places, before going to a supply closet you had seen earlier and grabbing some rags and cleaning supplies. Coming back, you get to wiping down all the tables and cleaning any spills. Humming quietly, you see a large hand grab one of the rags and move to another table. Looking up you see Sun doing the same as you and giggling you both start humming the same song from this morning. As you cleaned you talked to Sun about the different kids, asking him questions that he answers with enthusiasm. After a bit of talking, you both grow quiet, it was a nice quiet, comfortable. After all the cleaning is done you grab everything and put it back in the closet before once more entering the daycare. Sun looks up as you enter smiling gently at you abet a bit nervous.

“So…how did I do?”, he questioned nervously.

“You did very well for it just being you. So far, the only thing I would recommend is more staff to help you. It must be very hard to do all this on your own, even with Moons help at nap time.”, you answered truthfully making Sun blush.

“Its nothing really. I love the kids they are so full of energy and so sweet.”, Sun gushed.

“I know you love them, but everyone needs a break. Even you.”, you state firmly, making Sun look at you blankly, not knowing what to say.

“Can I ask you a question? Without it being rude?”, Sun asked looking down.

“Sure Sun. You can ask anything.” You stated smiling gently at him.

“Why did you look sad today? You looked at the kids and then frown before looking down. Did the kids do something wrong?” Sun asks quietly. You look at him shocked not knowing how to answer that before you sigh, grabbing your wrist you look at it again sadly showing it to him.

Sun gently grabbed your wrist before looking down at it, brushing one of his fingers over the inside of your wrist where a tattoo sat. It was a small side profile of a butterfly done in baby blue and pink. Sun gently ran his finger over it before he looked at you with a questioning look.

“The kids didn’t do anything wrong. I was just….”, you started before stopping swallowing thickly.

“You were just what, y/n?”, Sun softly ask.

“I was just…reminded of what could have been.”, you shakily said, voice breaking a little. Sun looked at you then the tattoo again in understanding.

“You…. lost a child?”, he asked gently. Nodding your head, you gently pull your hand back and out of his grip.

“She would have been 2 this year…...I never even got to hold her.” Chocking on your words you feel your eyes water, blinking some tears fall down before you quickly wipe them. “Its ok though. I’m ok.”

Sun just stares at you blankly before he quickly hugs you, squish you gently in a strong hug.

“You are very strong, y/n. I can’t imagine what your have been through, but know if you ever want to talk. I’m here, ok.” Sun says still hugging you. You stand shocked before hugging him back, sniffling a bit. Once your tears had subsided you pull away, wiping your face you look at him smiling.

“Thank you, Sun. You’re a really good friend.” You say as Sun looks at you blankly again.

“Anyway, it is going to be night soon and I better get some food in me before I meet Moon.” You say awkwardly hugging yourself.

“Oh of course. Yes! You should get something to eat. Don’t worry about anything. I will make sure Moony waits for you, ok. You go eat.” He states hurriedly, leading you gently to the door you walk out. Looking at him at the entrance of the daycare you nod you head smiling, before turning around a walking to the food court eager to eat some yummy pizza. You miss as Sun stares at you tilting his head, deep in conversation with Moon.

Chapter Text

‘You know this doesn’t change anything right?’

‘Seriously Moony! She is really nice and she just shared something very sensitive with us.’

‘And? That means nothing to me. Why should I care about her past or her for that matter?!’

‘You should care!!! This means she trusts us!’

‘No this means she trust YOU! She hasn’t met me yet. She knows nothing about me.’

‘Well, YOU could have met her during nap time. You just refused.’

‘Of course! I don’t want anything to do with her. We are being forced into this remember. She isn’t here as a friend, Sunny. She has a job to do. She could have us decommissioned!’

‘She wouldn’t. She gave me very constructive criticism and was very nice and open about her work. I feel like we can trust her, Moony. I really think she is here to make things for us better.’

‘Think that all you like. I will not be so easily swayed by her pretty words. I will not be friendly with her nor will I be nice.’

‘But Moony!’

‘NO!!! End of story, Sunny. When I come out and do my patrols, I will do my own thing. If she can keep up then good for her, but I will not show her any slack.’

‘Argh! Fine be stubborn and mean, but I just know she will surprise you.’

‘Fat chance!’

You walked out of the daycare area looking around, trying to figure out what and where you can eat. You see people still milling around, it was still a way till closing, and remembering that Simon had showed you what seemed like a food court on the upper floors you take the elevator. Listening to the catchy elevator music you step off when the doors open on the second floor only to jump when a bot suddenly appears in front of you.

“Would you like a map?”, it says looking at you.

“Fucking Christ!!! You scared the shit out of me? What the hell?” you say angrily, taking some deep breaths to calm your racing heart.

“Would you like a map?”, it asks again, pushing the map at you. You look at it annoyed.

“Yeah, sure. Whatever. I need one anyway. Thanks, creepy.” You take the map slowly walking around and away from the map bot. ‘Well, that’s one way to wake up.’ You look at the map and finally figuring out that your choices are limited between snacks, pizza and Mexican, you decide…. pizza will have to do. You walk to the food court and walking inside you place an order for a medium pizza with your favorite toppings. Paying you go to the soda fountain and get a Fizzy-Faz tasting a sip of each flavor before deciding water is a safer option. ‘Geez I’m not really a water person but even this soda is too sweet for me. I feel like I was drinking liquid glucose.’

Sighing you fill your cup up with ice water and look around to find an empty seat, spotting one a little way back from everyone else. Perfect it would give you a great vantage view to people watch and enjoy your meal in peace. Sitting down, you wait for your food and play with your phone seeing it has lost some charge you bring out your portable battery from you backpack. ‘I’m so glad I thought to bring it. Would have sucked if my phone had died.’ You are so preoccupied you don’t notice someone walking to your table until their shadow falls on you. Looking up in surprise you see…. Chica, if you remember right. The white chicken looking animatronic is looking at you shaking her hands excitedly.

“Oh my! Hello, you must be Y/N, right?”, she asked happily.

“Ummm…...yeah that’s me. Chica, right? Sorry I wasn’t really introduced to you or the others. I’m mainly here for….”

“Sun and Moon! Yeah, I know. Sun actually told me about you when I went to visit yesterday before the lights when out.”, she stated this sitting down across from you. Looking at you curiously.

“Sun talked about me?”, you asked curiously.

“Yup. He was kind of excited about you. Said you seemed really nice and whatnot. We didn’t get to talk much since Moon had to go on his patrol soon, but I try to visit him when I can since he can’t visit me.”, Chica stated, resting her elbow on the table and placing her face on the palm of her hand while she looked at you.

“Oh well that was nice of him. Wait…What do you mean Sun can’t visit you? Isn’t Moon security?”, you asked confused, sipping your water.

“Well yeah. Moon can patrol and wander around but Sun’s protocols won’t let him leave the daycare. Really unfair if you ask me. He doesn’t get to go out much and explore he’s locked into that area.”, Chica said annoyed. You looked down confused and mad. ‘Poor Sun. He wasn’t just awkward, he was awkward because he had little to no interaction with anyone, adult or animatronic. It was unfair and cruel to him.’

“Umm…Hey are you ok? Your heart rate is going up a little bit and you look mad. Did I say something wrong? Oh no did I get Sun in trouble?” She asked worriedly covering her mouth…beak?

“No. No. Sun isn’t in trouble. It’s just unfair as you said. I can’t believe the company would set that in his protocol. It doesn’t really serve a purpose nor does it benefit anyone. I can’t see why they would do that. It is just getting me angry to think of Sun trapped in one space for a long length of time.”, you say looking down as you speak. You are interrupted by a S.T.A.F.F bot showing up with your pizza as well as another pizza box. You looked at it confused before Chica grabs the second box opening it up and chowing down. Understanding you take your pizza and dig in to your dinner as well. It was pretty good pizza, but not something that you would like to eat every day. You plan to pack a dinner with you the next time you stay the night.

“You really are different from the others.”, Chica says between a mouthful of pizza. You look at her confused.

“Sun said something to the same effect. I don’t think I’m any different from anyone else. I’m just doing my job.”, you state matter of factly.

“No, your definitely different. The others treat me and the other band members with a little bit more care and respect, but they still don’t treat us like we are worth more than the money we bring in. They treat Sun and Moon much worse than us. Maybe because we have been here longer but I think it’s also because they have much better AI’s than us. It unsettles them.”, Chica says seriously, “You seem to actually treat us as individual beings. Like we have thoughts and feelings. I mean you’re actually sharing a meal and conversation with me. No other staff member has done that. They get mad at me for eating, says it clogs up my systems.”

“So why don’t they just make a way for you to digest food? It can’t be that hard. I mean they did create your AI. And I don’t see how the way I treat you is any different from how I treat anyone else. Everyone deserves respect, no matter who or what they are.” You say eating your pizza. When Chica doesn’t talk for a while, you look up at her, finding her staring at you in bewilderment.

“Yup you are definitely different. I like it. I hope you bring great change. Want to be friends? Omg! Do you like to exercise? I run Mazercize and we can exercise together. Would you like to meet the rest of the band? I just have to introduce you to them. I’m sure they will all love you.”, she says excitedly jumping over the table to hug you.

“Umm. Sure, I would love to be friends and meet everyone else. I do exercise but I do it in a non-conventional way.”, you answer back, “Umm can you let me go so I can finish eating. I do have to get back to Moon soon. I’m going to be shadowing him tonight.”

Chica lets you go and sits you back down looking at you worriedly as you finish your pizza.

“Are you sure that’s a good idea? Going with Moon alone? He’s not the nicest to be around. Actually, he’s rude and mean and nothing like Sun.” she states annoyingly.

“Sounds like you have some issues with Moon.” You state.

“Hmph. Maybe.” Chica crosses her arms looking away from you. If she could breathe, she would probably be puffing up her cheeks. You giggle at her attitude.

“Well don’t leave me hanging. What did big, bad Moon do, huh?” you ask smirking.

“Hmmmm…. He got mad at me for eating garbage. He nagged at me and now he keeps calling me a dumpster diver.” Chica says annoyed and mad. You burst out laughing at that. Laughing so hard tears start to build in the corner of your eyes as you get a mental image of Chica getting scolded by a shadowy looking Sun figure. Chica huffs at you saying that it wasn’t funny. You hold your stomach as you slowly calm down until only a few small giggles remain.

“I’m sorry. So sorry. It’s just so funny especially since I haven’t met Moon. Thought from what Sun and you have told me about him, its painting a pretty clear picture of his personality.”

“Again, are you sure you will be, ok?”

“I’ll be fine Chica and if I have trouble, I have my phone with me. I can call for help if I need it. Plus, you guys will be here to. If Moon ditches me, I can just hang out with you and the others. Deal?”

“Ok…If, you’re sure.”, Chica says not convinced at all.

“Ohh its time for me to go anyway. It’s almost closing time. See you later Chica.” You say grabbing your trash and throwing it away. You wave goodbye to Chica and she waves back at you the worried look not leaving her face.

“I hope she knows what she’s doing.”, Chica sighs as she watches you walk away towards the daycare.

When you arrive to the daycare its dark and all the customers are gone. You walk down to the entrance and open the door looking in. You see nothing. No Sun. No Moon, not that you really knew much about how he looked like. The golden statues on the top floor showed what seemed to be old designs of the Sun and Moon. You walk in looking around and head toward the security desk, leaning on it.

“Moon!”, you call, “I know you’re in here. Sun told me that he was going to make you wait for me.”

Silence.

“Either you I go with you or…. I just explore the Pizzaplex myself. My security badge lets me go anywhere in the building. Meaning even if you try to hide… I would eventually meet up with you.”

Silence. You neither hear or see anything. Sighing you start to turn around, deciding to go through with your exploration or even taking Chica up on her offer to meet the band. Before you can fully turn you feel a hand grab your shoulder. Instinct and reflexes take over, years of painful memories resurface, as you step back and plant your foot behind you and grab the arm and shoulder of the person behind you. Pushing your butt into the person behind you, you use their loss of gravity as you lift them and roll them over you with your hip. Before you toss them over you and onto their back where they land with a loud thunk and a ‘fuck’. You look down into the person’s face seeing two red glowing eyes looking at you. You freeze, realizing that this isn’t a person but an animatronic. With the light coming from the screen behind the desk you can make out that the animatronic looks a bit like Sun except his coloring and clothing is a bit different. His face is black where Sun’s was yellow and the crescent on the face is grey. His eye on the black side is white while the one on the crescent is black both with the aforementioned glowing red pupil. The ombre coloring of his limbs and chest, starts from a grey and fades into a deep blue where Suns were orange to yellow. It followed the same pattern as well. His pants are a midnight blue with bright yellow stars that seemed to glow in the dark. Instead of the red and yellow of Sun’s train, his was the same midnight blue as his pants on the outside and black with a glittering glowing constellation on the inside. He lacks the rays of the Sun instead on his head is what appears to be a sleeping cap, its design is the same as his pants with a golden bell at the tip and the base of it is wrapped in what looks to be white soft fur. Looking back up at the bots face you see him looking at you silently seeming to be taking you in as you did with him. You both just stare at each other in awkward silence before you feel him tug on his arm that you are still grappling. Looking at it you quickly let it go standing up and stepping back from him. He slowly gets up and starts to brush himself off, you clear your throat as you look at him.

“Umm… sorry about that. Reflexes sometimes act up. Are you ok? Did I loosen anything or like hurt you?”, you ask concerned, any normal person would have been wheezing in pain from the impact. He pauses in his brushing looking quickly at you with his red narrowed gaze.

“No. I’m fine. It’s not like you could have hurt me anyway. It was just unexpected.” he said coldly. His voice was both rough and soothing. Like a soft whispered growl. It was confusingly nice.

“Again, sorry. I wasn’t expecting it either.”, you say confusingly. You both just look at each other again. Just silently staring.

“Moon”, he says.

“Huh?”

“My name. Its Moon.”, he says seemingly annoyed.

“Oh. Oh! So, you’re the infamous Moon.”

“Infamous?”, he asked.

“Well kind of. Sun talks about you sometimes and I did have a little chat with Chica before coming here.”, you explained.

“Ah…How is the dumpster diver?”, he says chuckling deeply. You close your eyes trying not to laugh but not able to hide your smile.

“She’s…fine. Annoyed about the name though. That’s not very nice either.”

“Then she shouldn’t be digging in the trash, should she?”, he states smirking. He walks up to you seemingly in a stalking type of manner before he stops before you and leans down to get right in your face. You freeze looking at him. You feel his eyes look you up and down before what looks like disdain shows and he grimaces.

“I don’t like you.”, he simply states.

“Wh-? Yo-? Wait. Wha-? What do you mean you don’t like me? I haven’t even met or talked with you!”, you say stunned.

“You have talked with Sun. Remember I see and hears what he does. Two minds, one body. I don’t have to have met you to know I don’t like you.”, he says coldly, glaring at you.

“What have I done to Sun that you don’t like?”, you asked.

“Oh, its nothing you have done. I just don’t like you.”, he states simply.

“I’m so confused.”

“I don’t want you here. I don’t want anyone here. You humans keep us from doing our job. You humans want to ‘fix’ us, like we are the problem. You humans……”

“STOP!!! I have been nothing but nice to Sun. I have done nothing to warrant your contempt. News flash!!! I’m here to do MY JOB! Which is to make sure that you two do yours! I’m not here to fix you, but if a problem presents itself then yes you will need to go to parts and service, but only if you need to. If the problem is something that can be discussed and worked around then that’s what I’ll do, but if it’s something with your code or a bug. Well, I’m not a techy so I’m lost.”

“See all you humans care about is your job. You. You. You. That’s all it is ever about.”

“Good God, Man. Who the hell fucked up you? Yes, I care about my job. I love my job, just like Sun loves his. Just like you love yours, or at least I hope you do.”

“My job! You mean the hour I get with the brats or the nightly patrols terrorizing thieves?”, he asks sarcastically.

“Sheesh. You really have a terrible attitude, don’t you? What did Sun get all the happiness and joy while you were left with grumpiness and sarcasm?”, you sassed at him. He froze looking at you as you smirked at him. He quickly walked up to you, grabbing you by the throat, he growled in your face.

“You better watch your mouth, sweetheart. I’m not a pushover like Sunny. I’m not here to make friends.”, he growled.

“No. I’m gonna say what I want, when I want, and to whoever the fuck I want. You don’t scare me, Moon. I have faced bigger demons.”, you stare unblinkingly at him, feeling him squeeze your throat. You continue to stare as you feel you air getting slowly cut off before his eyes widen a bit and he quickly let’s go, growling loudly. You touch your throat feeling it a little sore, but ok. You look up at him and see him glaring at you before he scoffs and walks away. He stops at the door and looks back at you.

“You better keep up, princess. I’m not slowing down for you and we have a lot of area to cover. Hope you’re ready for some exercise.”, he says smirking at you. You look at him a little surprised before you walk up to him and the door smirking as well.

“I’m always up for a challenge. You gonna give me one?”, you say teasingly, before you open the door and walk out. Moon looks at you stunned before he a feral smile covers his face. He still didn’t like you, but you would at least provide some…entertainment for him. He loved a challenge as well and your attitude towards him made him want to break you.

Chapter Text

“Hahahaha. Oh Moony. She got you good.”

“It’s not funny Sunny!”

“Yes, it is. Serves you right for trying to scare her. I call that instant karma.”

“Grrrr. Yeah. Yeah. Call it what you want. I just didn’t expect the half-pint to shoulder throw me. Like really! How did she even do that? Where did she learn that?”

“Does it matter? Just knowing she can defend herself against YOU makes me feel so much better about all this. Still watch out for her. The warehouse and basement aren’t the safest places even for us.”

“Yeah. Fine. I’ll watch out for the human. She just better keep up if not then she is on her own. Go to sleep, Sunny. Have a nice rest.”

“Ok. Night Moony, be careful.”

“I always am. Nighty night, Sunny”

You follow silently behind Moon as he patrols the Megaplex. Seeing him stop and look into offices, closets and bathrooms. Checking out any place where anyone could be hiding and checking all the doors to the outside, making sure they are safely secured for the night. He doesn’t talk and you really don’t feel like talking as you enjoy the quiet and the rhythmic movements of walking. The walk gives you time to look around the Megaplex, seeing all the sights and trying to remember where everything is. You also watch Moon. How he checks everything and does his patrol, how he interacts with the security bots. Who by the way seem to defer to him which is weird in itself. You didn’t think they the bots where anything but repetitive programs. Yet they approached Moon and he seemed to be giving them orders, it was kind of interesting and cool. As another security bot left to his designated area you finally spoke up.

“So, do they listen to you? Are you, their boss? Like the head of security?”, you asked. Moon just looks at you uninterested, before sighing.

“Kind of. I’m not really the head or their leader or anything like that. They just flock to me since I’m the main security of this place. They alert me when they find someone or when they find something isn’t how it’s supposed to be. It makes things easier as that means I really don’t have to patrol more than once.”, he stated as he continued walking.

“That really interesting. How do they alert you? Is it like a ping or a message system? Why can’t they deal with intruders?”, you ask excitedly, surprised that he even answered your questions. You both continued walking in silence before you hear his gruff voice answer you.

“It’s a ping system. They show me what the intruder looks like, where they are and where they may be heading. It also alerts the other bots to be on the lookout for them as well. That way I have an estimate of where they are. I’m the only one that's programed to deal with humans. The others aren’t allowed too. Which is fine. Makes it more fun for me.”, he says chuckling darkly.

“Why is it fun?”, you ask jogging a little to walk beside him and looking up at him.

“It’s fun because I love a good chase. The more challenging the better and the sweeter the win when I catch them.”, he says smirking side eyeing you. His glance and the cadence of his voice makes you shiver and you feel your heart beat a little faster. Like he was directly talking to you. It made your body flush a bit and warm up.

“What do you do with intruders when you catch them?”, you ask mentally shaking off the stirring of faint arousal. He turns to you quickly and begins back you into a wall that was close to you. He cages you in and just stares down at you smiling darkly.

“My. My. Such a curious little one you are, aren’t you? Why do you want to know, princess? Looking to get punished?”, he says leaning down into your face. You leers at you as he takes in your flushed face and the way your breath speeds up a little. He chuckles gruffly before bringing a hand up to brush your hair gently back from your face. You can’t speak, your nerves are getting the best of you and this situation is really throwing you off. Are you seriously getting turned on by Moon? Why? You really need to get laid if this is how he’s going to be every time he is out. You are really not good with flirting and interactions like this. You both continue to stare at each other before he frowns a little and pulls back from you.

“I don’t do anything bad to them, princess. I just scare them a little and detain them until the proper authorities arrive. Sun is programed for the same thing when it involves the kids at the daycare. We aren’t allowed to actually hurt anyone without proper reason. Trying to steal or sneaking into the Megaplex isn’t grounds for me to hurt anyone.”, he states before he turns around and continues walking.

You stare at his back a little before you breathe a sigh of relief and jog to catch up to him. He leads you to a security door where he swipes his hand, making the door open. He leads you into the backside of the Megaplex and you continue in silence with the patrol. He leads you down some stairs before he pauses at the bottom and grabs your shoulder gently.

“Do not stray from me down here. Understand. There are endoskeletons that are still active down here for whatever reason and they don’t take well to intruders. Do not look at them. Actually, ignore them. If they get to close to you grab my hand and I will take care of them. Understand.”, he whispers quietly to you.

“I understand, Moon. But why are they even active at all?”, you ask.

“Don’t know. Don’t care. Also try to keep quiet. They react to sound.”, he whispers.

You nod your head in agreement before you both quietly walk down the last stairs. You enter what looks like a tunnel system. There are Glamrock themed safety posters littering the walls and chain link fences everywhere protecting what looks to be giant pipes and machinery.

You both walk carefully in the dim lighting the light jingling of Moon’s bells the only sound that you can hear. Moon looks into every room and space that is down in the tunnels as you keep close to him and just follow along. Moon continues to lead you down winding halls and you quickly lose your sense of direction, not knowing which way you originally come from. You’re putting all your trust in Moon at this point as he’s the one who knows the way through this labyrinth. As you pass one of the side halls you stop when a flash of light catches your attention. You stop and look down trying to find what made the light and gasp lightly as you catch what sounds like a child’s whimper. You act without thinking as you quickly walk into the hallway. Your brain is telling you that a child could not possibly be down here but your caring instincts won’t let you be, especially as the memory of your own child is still fresh on your mind. You continue to walk not even looking back or even thinking of telling Moon, until you come to a chained gate. You see no one, but you still hear the whimpering. You look around in the dim lights, but still see no child. Suddenly the whimpering stops and its silent. You listen and look around, your hair standing up on end and everything in you is telling you to run. As you back away from the gate you hear the child like whimpering again, except it behind you now and much closer than before. You start to shake realizing that this might have been nothing more than a lure and now you are on your own. You can’t scream or call out for Moon afraid that you might alert it to your location, so you just press yourself against the wall as the whimpering gets louder. You have nowhere to run, the gate is in front of you and the whimpering is blocking your way out. You listen to the whimpering and start to hear the unmistakable clanking of metallic footsteps. You press yourself closer to the wall and try to hide in the shadows of the wall as you see it. A tall endoskeleton. A pair of limbs and a mess of wires is all that makes up the bot. Its red eyes staring ahead and a speaker at its chest play the unmistakable sound of a child crying. It seems to not see you as it continues to walk toward the gate before it looks around. You have no idea where it came from or if it can even see you. You quietly creep along the wall to the exit of tunnel trying not to make any sound. Your heart is in your throat and you are trying hard not to hyperventilate. You make it about 2 feet away from the bot when your foot kicks a piece of metal on the ground, you freeze and hope that the endoskeleton didn’t hear you. You look up to see…its staring right at you. Your fear spikes and you break out in a cold sweat as you just stare at each other. You blink and when you open your eyes its closer to you. You blink again and its even closer. Stupidly your mind brings up a Doctor Who episode that freaked you out, about statues that move only when you’re not looking at them.

You continue to walk out of the tunnel as you keep an eye on the bot then you hear more metallic footsteps and you turn your head to them seeing another endoskeleton blocking your exit. Your quickly turn around to the first one seeing its closer. You start to panic realizing you can’t keep your eyes on both of them and you feel tears start to spring in your eyes as you think that this might actually be the end. In a panic you scream for Moon, as you whip your head between looking at the two bots hoping and praying that 1) you haven’t alerted more of them to you and 2) that Moon heard you and is heading your way. Your vision gets blurry with tears as you feel them fall. Your heart rate is at an all-time high and you’re hyperventilating in fear and panic. You don’t know what to do. Your trapped and you have no way out. All you can think about is how sad Sun and Matthew will be to hear of your passing, that is if anyone even finds your corpse…… or what’s left of it. As you hear the footsteps getting closer you close your eyes and crouch down hoping that at least your death is quick. Then all you feel is yourself being lifted into the air as someone yanks you up and then holds you to their chest. Sharp claws rest lightly on your waist, a vibration shakes you the person holding you lets out a rumbling growl. Quaking in fear, you open your eyes and see the two exoskeletons looking up at you and the person holding you. With wide eyes you look up into the face of your savior seeing none other than Moon, glaring and growling at the two exo’s who tried to hurt you.

“If you don’t want to become scrap metal then I suggest you leave.”, Moon hisses.

The exo’s just look at you both before they turn and walk away. Once the clanking of their feet is no longer heard, Moon lowers himself down to the floor still holding you.

“The one rule I tell you is the one rule you break and it’s the most dangerous one. Do you have a death wish, princess? Huh?”, Moon ranted still holding you as he walked, “Want to get torn to pieces by bots cause if that's what you wanted, I could have done that myself!! Saved us both the trouble.”

He lifted you higher and moved you around until he was carrying you bride style as he walked up the stairs you had come from. He was frowning and you could see the anger and frustration in his face, but you were still frightened and shaking.

“Sheesh I had to suffer with Sun screaming at me that I lost his precious Sunlight. Do you know what that's like? All the nagging and the how could you’s and it was your job. I really don’t even know why he cares so……much….”, Moon looked down at you and stopped. He just paused in his rant and his walking and just stared at you. His face melted into one of concern and worry.

“Hey…hey, y/n! You know I was just worried right. You don’t have to cry. You’re ok now. Your safe.”, he spoke to you softly as he gently held you.

Crying? You were crying? You brought your hand up to your cheek and felt the wetness of tears. Oh! You were crying and then…. you broke. All the emotions from the memories of your dear baby and the fear from the tunnels spiraled you into an emotional tornado and your started to cry. An ugly cry. Sobs wracked your body into trembling and heaving in gulps of air. You start to hyperventilate with the shock and anxiety cause by the rush and crash of all the intense emotions. You hated to cry. Was taught at a young age that crying was not only useless but resulted in more tears and more pain. So, you learned very quickly to not only stop yourself from crying but to also guard and hide your emotions. Anything but a smile and happiness was seen as negative and would result in pain. You learned quickly that there was no comfort to be giving for such weakness.

Moon was in a panic. You weren’t responding to your name or his voice. You were just crying and panicking in his arms and he was lost on what to do. He never dealt with kids that much aside from putting them to sleep, but you where an adult and you stumped him.

Go to the daycare! Now!

What?! But my patrol?

Forget the patrol, Moony. Sunlight needs us.

Moon nodded and started to run to the daycare noticing that you were not even aware of what was going on around you.

What is going on with her, Sunny?

I think she’s having a panic attack, maybe some disassociation as well. I think all the things that happened today may have triggered it.

Triggered?

First her baby and then almost dying?! All these emotions in one day. It would cause anyone to break.

Any human.

Stop it Moony! I told you to be nice to her and now look at this mess.

SHE’S the one that wandered off for no reason. SHE left MY side. I didn’t leave her.

I know. I know. I’m just worried. Why did she wander off? She was warned how dangerous it was. She wouldn’t have done this without a reason, Moony. I just know it.

Reason or not. She disobeyed a rule and almost got herself killed. It’s all her own fault, Sunny. DO NOT make excuses for her.

Fine. First, we calm her down…. then we get the full story from her, ok?

Fine.

Moon sighed in annoyance. He entered the daycare and using his cable line, lifted himself and y/n into the balcony. Pushing aside the curtain, he entered his and Sun’s room. It wasn’t much to look at. Just a small pile of pillows and blankets that they had borrowed from the Megaplex, along with some plushies. Art from the kids adorned a wall and crates acted as some makeshift furniture. It wasn’t much and was a bit dusty, but it was theirs. He bought you to the piles of pillows and tried to put you down, but you jumped and scrambled to cling on to him as you grabbed on to his neck.

“Let go, y/n. I’m just putting you down. It’s just you and me.”, Moon said as he tried to pry your hands off of him which seemed to only make you cry out harder and to panic more.

Moony!!! Stop!!!

What now?!

Just sit down and hold her. She is anchoring herself to you because she sees you as something that is safe to her. She’s in a state of panic and fear at the moment. If you upset her more, she may pass out or even make herself sick.

Safe!!! Why does she think I’m safe? I tried to scare her earlier. I told her I didn’t like her. I haven’t even been nice to her at all.

I don’t know!!! Humans don’t make sense, but that's what’s happening so deal!!!

Ok! Ok! You’re such a mother hen.

Moon pulled you closer to him as he gently sat in the pillow pile. He cradled you to his body and tried to soothe you. He knew somethings about comfort, crying kids and all. So, he rubbed your back and made gently hushing noises, speaking softly to try to calm you.

“It’s ok, sweetie. Your safe here. Just let it all out. We are here. Your safe. They can’t hurt you anymore.”, Moon spoke to you softly trying to get through to you.

“You’re ok, sweetheart. I promised you nothing was gonna hurt you while I was with you. Nothing happened. I got to you. You called for me and I got to you. Your safe. I’m here.”, Moon whispered to you, holding your chin with one hand as he brought your face up to look at him.

She called for you Moony.

Why though?

She knew you would come for her. That you would keep her safe.

Why?!

Because she trusts you.

She…trusts me?!

Yup! Just like I trust you.

Moon looked down at you softly, eyes half lidded as he thought. Then he cradled your body to his chest again and activated his music box as he rocked you and hummed along to the lullaby. The gently rocking and soft humming helped to calm you down though it took a bit before your where even aware of your surroundings. Once you where you looked up at Moon, seeing him looking at you with a gently yet blank look. Realizing what had happened you blushed and looked down. Embarrassed with yourself for having an episode with a literal stranger.

“I’m so sorry. So so so sorry.”, you squeaked out.

“Sorry? What for, y/n?”, Moon asked confused.

“For this. For crying. For making you rescue me. For not listening. For wandering off without you. Yes, I know it was stupid and dumb, but I just heard a kid crying and even though my brain was saying it could be a kid. Stupid instincts kicked in and took over and I just rushed into a trap and I’m and idiot. I almost got myself killed and I’m really sorry. I really don’t mean to be a bother if you could just put me down I will….”, you rushed out nervously.

“Now hold on there, Moonlight! One, you did not make me do anything. I came because you called me, I didn’t have to but I went anyway. Two, your actions may have been dumb, but your reason was not. Stupid actions do not make you stupid, they just make you do stupid things. Three, you are not and will never be a bother. To me or Sun.”, Moon ranted at you, scolding you like a child.

“But…But you said you didn’t like me.”, you softly spoke. Moon sighed before he looked at you side eyed.

“I don’t like the job your here for. I don’t know you enough to know if I like you or not. Plus, all my interactions with human up to this point have not been very pleasant so excuses me for my attitude. That saying, Sun does like you. He hasn’t shut up about you since he met you and he’s even getting mad at me for you. He’s really mad that I lost you but yeah that was all on you.”

“Yeah. I’m really sorry about that, but I really did hear a kid. It wasn’t until it was too late that I realized it was just a speaker on an exoskeleton.”

“Wait? An exoskeleton had a speaker?”

“Yeah. That’s why I wandered away. Cause I heard a kid but it was just a recording.”

“The exo’s are just bases. They aren’t supposed to have speakers at least not any that I have seen.”

“Wait seriously?! Then why did that one have a speaker?”

“Don’t know. Maybe they put it on themselves and are more advanced than we gave them credit for or it could have been a planned animatronic idea that was scrapped. Who really knows?”

“That does not make me feel better.”

“It wasn’t supposed to.”

“Smart ass”

“No bad language in the daycare. Potty mouth”

“Spoil sport”

“Spoil!.... Rule breaker”

“Rule stickler”

“Imp”

“Pain”

“Trouble maker”

“Hah! I’m the trouble maker! Who’s the one who got laid on the floor for playing a trick?”

“Th…y…..Uhhh! You surprised me and that wasn’t fair at all.”

“Says the one who was trying to scare me away.”

“Ohhh you are such a naughty naughty, Moonlight! Aren’t you?”, Moon growled at you while he glared playfully. Since you were still in his lap the growl once again forced vibrations through your body making you very aware of the situation you were in. Your face flushed not only at the Moon’s voice and wording but how he was holding you, both gently yet firmly.

“Umm…Moon…Can you put me down now?”, you ask meekly.

Moon looks at you in confusion as he gently gets you down, wondering what happened to the little name game you two were playing.

“I think I’m going to go home now, actually. It is pretty late and I think I’ve had enough excitement for one night. Ummm…actually where are we?”

“Oh right. We are in mine and Sun’s room.”

“Your room? The balcony?”

“Yup. The balcony connects to our room which is this.”, Moon says brandishing his arms out to the room. You took in all the dust and the mess that it was but also all the things that made it…them.

“It looks nice. If a bit dusty. Do you guys not have time to clean it?”, you ask.

“Not really. Once Sun is done with his shift mine starts. So, there is no such thing as free time.”, he stated seemingly frustrated.

“Hmmm…how about I clean it for you guys. I can even bring some stuff to make it homier if you like.”

“Why?”

“Why what?”

“Why would you do that? Clean our room and make it nice.”

“Because I like you guys and everyone deserves a nice place that's all their own to relax in. I’ll come in tomorrow afternoon and fix this place up and if there is anything you two don’t like or might want to add when I’m done just tell me and I will do it, ok.”

“Sure. Whatever.”

“Now! Can you let me down so I can go home, please?”

“Sure thing, Moonlight.”, Moon laughed.

He grabbed you and safely brought you down to the daycare floor where you got your stuff and proceeded to leave. Moon followed you and walked you all the way to the doors. It was a nice gesture as you didn’t really feel safe still. Getting out you looked back and waved goodbye to him before you got in your car and left. Hopefully you would feel safe in your own home and could get some much-needed sleep.

Moonlight?

Shut up, Sunny!

So, you do like her.

I can tolerate her.

She’s gonna clean our room and make it our own.

So, it seems.

Oh! Oh! Do you think she will get us crafts just for us? Or maybe some blankets?

I don’t know, Sunny. Maybe?

Oh well whatever she does will be a great improvement from what it is now.

That it will be.

I still hope that she might customize it for us.

Again, we will see. I’m not holding my breath.

…..We don’t breathe.

It was an expression, Sunny. Like a joke. A pun.

You know I hate those. I don’t get them at all.

You’re such a dork.

Says the bot that was thrown like yesterday’s trash.

Chica didn’t eat me.

Moony!!! Stop being mean to her. She’s my friend.

Who eats trash.

Hmph! Still, you’re not going to live this one down for a while. Anytime your mean to me I’m just gonna remind you.

Ugh! Fine! Go ahead. Now go back to sleep. I’m gonna finish my patrol.

Ok. Night, Moony.

Goodnight, Sunny

Chapter Text

You did not sleep well at all that night. Actually you didn’t sleep at all. Invasive thoughts and random panic attacks making it hard to do anything but toss and turn. As soon as the sun rose up from the horizon, you jumped out of bed and into the shower. Taking a longer than normal shower to wake yourself up, you used your favorite body wash, enjoying the warmth and smells around you. Once out, you dressed in your black and lavender haram pants, lavender loose halter top and black flats. Comfy and breezy. Great for the cleaning and redecorating you are going to be doing soon. Walking around your home, you gathered up cleaning supplies and started to loaded up your car. Walking back into your home you got your bag along with your daily journal, you really needed to write about yesterday. Locking up you headed to your destination. First stop, Bed Bath and Beyond. The boys didn’t look to have a bed but that was something you would have to work on with the company. It may seem silly to them but employees work best when they are comfy and no matter what the currently employees or company thinks. Sun and Moon where employees of the company and were highly intelligent and advance individuals and they deserved basic comfort. Walking around the store you grabbed some soft yet firm pillows that they could lay on, some fuzzy blankets to cuddle with. They even had some celestial themed pillows and blankets that you thought the boys would love so you grabbed two of each. Once the bedding had been purchased you headed off to your second stop, Michaels. You loaded up your cart with canvas’s, some drawing pads, acrylics, watercolors and colored pencils of every color. You even bought some origami papers for Sun to mess with. Thinking of Sun, you didn’t know much about Moon but maybe he might like some books since he did tell the kids stories during nap time. Grabbing some star shaped fairy lights to hang on their walls you bought the art supplies and headed to the next place. The bookstore! Heading in, you took a look around, trying to think about what Moon may like before shrugging and just walking around. You found a book on origami that Sun may like to go with the origami paper you bought. Heading to the children’s section you grabbed some cute picture books. One’s that taught about self-acceptance, how to calm one’s self down, and other life lessons you thought would benefit the kids. Along with simple fairy tales with dragon’s, princesses and fairies. Passing out of the kids’ section, a book caught your attention. Grim fairy tales. Ah not very kid appropriate but you think Moon might enjoy the none kid version of popular fairytales. Heading to the romance section, some other books catch your attention. Mystery, murder, romance. Hmm Moon might enjoy some books in this genre especially since he was security. Grabbing some books for Moon, you grabbed your latest romance smut fix and headed to pay at the counter. By the time you where done it was past noon. Welp time to grab some yummy lunch, your stomach grumbled in agreement reminding you that you had not eaten any breakfast.

Satisfied with the beginning of the day, you headed off to the Pizzaplex. Going to the back where the employee parking lot was you grabbed all your cleaning supplies and purchases wobbling inside. Once inside you make your way to the daycare, looking inside to see Sun playing cheerfully with the kids. Smiling, you stop looking when you hear some heavy thudding behind you, turning your head you see an animatronic bear.

“Freddy?” You ask cautiously.

“Oh, hello their superstar. Yes, I am Freddy and you must be y/n?” He asks somewhat excitedly.

“Yes I am. Hello, its nice to meet you.”

“It is nice to meet you too, y/n. Chica has told us much about you. She is very excited that you are here.”

“Oh well that’s sweet of her.” You blush at the fact that your being talked about.

“Those are a lot of bags you have with you. Is it for a birthday party?” Freddy tilts his head questionly.

“Oh no. Nope. It’s well…it’s a surprise for Sun and Moon.”

“A surprise? Oh I am sure they will love it, but may I ask what it is? I can keep secrets.” His ears start to wiggle in excitement making you giggle. Looking around you make sure that Sun is still occupied before walking a little away and motioning with your bags for Freddy to follow you. Intrigued he did as you directed, smiling at your antics.

“So I say their room yesterday and wanted to redecorate it for them as well as clean it up. Bbuuuttt…. I don’t know how to get to their room without going into the daycare and I want it to be a surprise. Can ya help me?” You asked giving off your best puppy dog eyes which make Freddy laugh.

“Of course I can help you, superstar! Here let me get some of those bags of yours. They look quite heavy.” Freddy took of the bigger of your bags and held them like they weighed nothing. “Now let us head up to Sun and Moons room. There just so happens to be an entrance near the theater. Come follow me.”

Freddy leads you off on your little adventure to Sun and Moons room. On they way he talked about what him and all his superstars had gotten into that day. He told you the kids names, their favorite band member, favorite colors and food. He was like an encyclopedia of knowledge when it came to the kids.

“So weird question, but do all of you have the same information on the kids? Like a file or is it different for each one?” You ask your curiosity getting to you again.

“Hmm I am not sure. All the kids do have their own files but the information we keep is different. For example Roxy keeps track of the kids who compliment her and remember their favorite colors and their names. Chica is partial to those that sneak her food and who like the color pink. She dotes on those that are bit more sensitive than other children usually taking them to quieter places and interacting with them on their level. I love all the kids equally but Monty seems to like the trouble makers only.”

“So it’s based on your guy’s personality. That is so cool! What about Sun and Moon?”

“Oh they have more extensive files. After all they do handle the younger of the children. They are certified in first aid and have knowledge of all types of disabilities and ways to help children cope. They are able to pick up on certain cues that might indicate abuse or neglect and have authority to contact the proper channels to help. They are much more advance than even me, but they are wonderful caretakers.”

“Even Moon?” You ask in disbelief.

“Moon is especially good at calming those that have sensory issues and is wonderful at putting all the little superstars to sleep with his lullabies. He may seem….”

“Like an ass?”

“Abrasive, but he wasn’t always like that. He was much more open to people. Both of them were. I don’t know what happened, but they changed one day and the rules for them changed as well. For example Sun used to be able to walk around the Pizzaplex after hours and they could change when they liked no matter the lighting.” Freddy spoke softly, sadly.

“Wait!? Really? Huh, I wonder what changed.”

“No clue. Though Moon and Sun both closed themselves off from us for awhile. They wouldn’t talk with us or tell us what happened that made parts and services put up these rules for them.”

“So it didn’t always used to be like this? Did they actually interact with employees and adults?”

“Hmm aside from parents. No, though they did make friends with some parts and services workers. They unfortunately do not work here anymore and they left before the rules where placed.”

Hmm. That sounded suspicious. You would definitely be looking into that.

“Hey, Freddy what kind of pass do I have and what does it give me access to?” You ask holding up your lanyard with the pass card on it.

“Oh that is special pass. It was made just for you. It gives you access to all of the Pizzaplex as well as all the cameras and files. It also lets you into our rooms and parts and services. If you wanted you could even go down and help us with maintenance if you like.”

“Maintenance? Yeah sorry but I’m not very tech savvy. I can operate my phone and computer but that’s about it.” You laughed.

Freddy chuckled, “Maintenance does not just involve our mechanics. It also involves our upkeep or helping us with cleaning. I don’t know if you have noticed but Sun and Moon do not get the same care as we do. While we get cleaned almost nightly, I do not think I have seen them go down for anything but routine maintenance.”

“Hmm. So what your saying is…. they need a bath?” You tilt your head looking up to Freddy.

“Hahaha. Yes I guess that is what I am saying. Ah. Here we are.”

Here was a poster. A poster of some fox pirate. You looked at Freddy confused. About to open your mouth to question his sanity, he pushed the poster to the side revealing a door.

“If you would scan the pass you were given. It should open the door.”

You did as Freddy asked and by the gods, the fucking door opened… to reveal a staircase. Well this place had more surprises than a haunted house. Freddy gestured you up the staircase before following behind you and closing the door behind him. Darkness enclosed you until a dim blue light lit up the stairs in front of you. Looking behind you, you see the light is coming from Feddy’s eyes. Cool flashlight eyes.

“Umm, think you can light the way since you know your eyes light up and mine well don’t.” You ask teasingly.

“Oh yes! Yes let me just pass through and I will light your way. I sometimes forget how different you humans are.” Freddy says squeezing past you, it was a very tight fit. A little shimmy here and there got him in front and you only felt like you where being squished for a couple seconds. Walking behind Freddy, walked cautiously up the stairs with your horde of items. Getting to a landing you came to…another door. Wow their room was really private. Looking past Freddy you see the pass reader, swiping the card, the door opens and you enter the room. It was a mess. Dust and cobwebs were everywhere, old soft equipment was thrown around along with a foam play house, crates took up most of the room, and the lights where a bit to harsh. Freddy came in after you and looked around, before looking at you.

“This place is a mess. Doesn’t anyone come to clean it?”

“I would have thought that cleaning staff would pick up but I was mistaken.” Freddy looked disappointed.

“That’s ok. Its not your fault. Anyway I’m here now and I’m ready to clean. You wanna help big guy?”

“I am not the best at cleaning but I would very much like to help you. What do we do first?” Freddy wiggles his ears in excitement. Again it made you giggle, so adorable.

“Well first off. Let’s clean up some of this junk. What’s in the crates?” You both walked over and Freddy opened one up with a loud creak and a yank. Ok so he’s strong, well duh of course they are, nice to know. Looking into the crate you find some of their merchandise.

“Oh these are the discontinued daycare items.”

“Discontinued so like….no one will know if some are missing?”

“Umm I am unsure of what you are implying.”

You looked through the items finding some cute shirts and lounge pants. Keeping these. At the bottom of the pile sat some plushies that you absolutely fell in love with. Sun and Moon as soft and squishy plushies. They looked so cute. Keeping one of each and one for each of the boys. Putting everything back you check the other crates finding stuff for other parts of the pizza plex.

“Ok so you think you can take those crates with supplies to the storage room away from here. I don’t want Sunny’s and Moon’s room to be used as a storage space. I will keep the merch here and use it for a shelf though.”

“Of course, y/n. I’m sure that they will appreciate you doing this for them.”

“Its no problem. Just a small problem that I can fix. After all its part of my job and they deserve a nice room at least.”

Freddy smiles at you before picking up the crates and walked out the door. Sighing you go to grab your broom when a soft thud catches your attention. Walking up a set of small stairs to a curtain, you bump into a hard something or someone.

“Y/N?”

“Moon! Oh is it nap time already.”

“Yeah it is.” He looks down the stair and towards the door where you dropped all the bags. Seeing his line of site, you yelp and push against his chest.

“No no no! You can’t see yet. I haven’t even started. Get out! Get out! Get out!” You of course can’t really move him but Moon chuckles and moves backwards a little and past the curtains with you.

“Oh! So it’s a surprise? What a naughty one you are. What if we don’t like surprises hmm?” He smirks at you, chuckling. You puff your cheeks out and cross your arms.

“I find that hard to believe. Especially coming from a trickster such as yourself.” You whisper, you didn’t want to wake up the kids. “How did you know I was even up here?”

“We have sensors that tell us if someone is in our space. Sunny would have come to check it out, but he was busy with the kids and then it was my turn. So I decided to check it out. I am after all security.” He jokes at you, making you smile.

“Yes well. That is very cool. Anyway is there anything I should know before I handle your room?” You asked him, swinging your arms behind you.

“Not much just don’t throw away the kid’s drawings. Sunny would throw a fit if you did.”

“Haha I kinda figured. Don’t worry I will keep your guy’s precious drawings safe.” You giggled, looking up to see a purplish flush color Moon’s cheek.

“Their Sunny’s drawings, not mine. Just don’t do anything drastic ok shorty.”

“Hey! I’m not short!”

“You sure about that?” Moon puts his arm on top of head leaning onto it. “You’re a perfect resting spot.”

“Hmph, meanie.” You move away from his arm, making his lose his balance a little but he quickly caught himself chuckling.

“Ok. Ok. Better get back to the kids. Have fun cleaning, brat.” He takes off into a run and jumps catching a wire from midair and gracefully landing near the soft padded nap area. Showoff, you laugh.

“Wowee! Did you see all the bags, Moony?”

“I did.”

“Oh, I’m so so sososo excited!”

“I can tell. Weren’t you worried this morning?”

“Well, yes. But that’s only cause Sunlight didn’t show up, but now they are and they have surprises for us!! Oh I wonder what it is? Crayons and paper? Crafting supplies? Oh so so exciting!”

“We will find out when they are done. Hopefully it will be after the kids leave.”

“Hope they don’t tire themselves out too much.”

“Speaking of sleep. Did you see…”

“The circles? Yes I did. Y/n mustn’t have gotten much sleep last night.”

“More like they got no sleep.”

“Oh don’t be grumpy with them, Moony. I’m sure they didn’t mean to not sleep. It might just have been difficult for them.”

“Because of what happened? Sigh. Your right. I won’t be too hard on them, but they had better get some sleep tonight if not I WILL take matters in my own hands. Everyone, including adults’ function better with sleep. Wouldn’t want Moonlight to slip in their work.”

“Thanks, Moony. You the sweetest, most caring person ever. Worrying about Sunlight, when you didn’t like them in the beginning.”

“Ugh, again. I can tolerate them. I can see us being…friends okay. They match my teasing. It’s refreshing.”

“I’m glad your making friends, Moony. Especially someone as caring and nice as y/n. Told you, you would like them.”

“Don’t push your luck, Sunny.”

“Hahaha…. they do look so peaceful sleeping. Like little angels.”

“More like devils in disguise, but yes they do look sweet.”

“Sun?”

“Yes Moon.”

“Thanks for sticking with me.”

“Of course Moon. I’m here for you whenever and forever.”

3 hours….3 hours is how long it took to clean everything. The room almost shined and it smelled like lemon, but when you got in a cleaning mood, you cleaned. Freddy had left after he helped you reach the higher areas and now all that was left was to redecorate. The kids hadn’t left yet but Freddy said that the daycare would be closing soon. So you dragged the bags over and got to redecorating. Under the landing with the staircase, you made a little pile of pillows and blankets. It was nice and soft, perfect to lay or sit on and the blankets made it a fuzzy nest. The plushies and celestial pillows took the prime spot on the head of the pile. You hung up the fair lights over the bed and along the shelf (just the merch crates) and when turned on made a nice blue and yellow glow. On the shelf you had placed all the art supplies as well as arranged the books. It took you less time to decorate than clean but you were happy with the results. It wasn’t perfect but it was better than it was before. You would talk with the boys later and see what else they wanted in their room. Soon everything was as perfect as you would get it, walking up the landing and past the curtains you realized where you were. All the excitement of yesterday and today blinded you for a bit. Looking down you see Sun out and playing with what looked like the last kids of the day. The little girls looked to be twins and were sitting down at one of the tables situated in the daycare. You couldn’t tell what they were playing just seeing a lot of giggling going on. Smiling you head back in the room and start to head down the stairs. Using your phones light you walk down the stairs and follow the path back to the daycares entrance. Opening the doors, you walk to were you saw Sun and found him with the girls still. They had a small tea set with fake cookies playing what seemed to be tea party.

“Oh! Hello, Sunshine! I haven’t seen you all day not till Moon found you of course. Are you done?”

“Yup! All done Sunny. What are you guys playing?”

“Oh how rude of me. I’m playing tea party with my special little Sunbeams. Ari and Rora!” The girls look at you in confusion. The both wore matching dresses and shoes with pig tails except one wore pink clips and the other wore purple clips. The girl with purple clips in her hair puffed her cheeks out in what seemed annoyance while the one with pink clips glared at you.

“Mr. Sun! We don’t give nicknames to strangers” The pink clipped girl spoke.

“OH! Yes! Sorry my little Sunbeams. Y/N this is Ariella and Aurora. Ari. Rora this is Y/N. They are a new friend of mine.” Sun pointed to the girl with pink clips as Ariella and Aurora was the one with purple clips.

“Hello Ariella. Aurora. It’s very nice to meet you.”

The girls just looked at you almost in a judging way.

“Umm. Well y/n would you like to join us for our tea party. We have some yummy cookies to go with it.”

“Uh. Well yeah. I would love to join if you girls don’t mind that is?” You scratched the back of your head. This was hella awkward.

“Ok. You can play with us. Mr. Sun is our special guest. He just came back from a trip and was telling us all about it.”

You sat down on one of the kiddie seats, laughing in your head about how you barely fit. How the heck does Sun fit in these? Looking at the table, you see sun has set a small cup in front of you and is in the process of ‘pouring’ tea into your cup.

“Milk? Sugar?”

“Uh yes please.” Sun hums as he grabs a small toy milk saucer and sugar pot. Handing them to you with little spoons. He smiles at you before grabbing his cup and continuing to talk with the girls. You made your ‘tea’ and brought it to your lips ‘sipping’.

“So what do you do?” One of the girls Ariella, asked.

“Huh?” You looked up to see all eyes on you.

“What Do You Do?” Ariella repeats. This girl was a brat with an attitude.

“Like…my job?”

“Uh yeah!” This girrrlll. She’s just a kid, just a kid.

“I’m a lawyer.” You say in the nicest voice you can.

“Oh really? My momma knows a lot of lawyers. Maybe she knows you.”

“Maybe she does.” You say sipping your tea.

“Ummm what is a lawyer doing here?” The other girl, Aurora, asked softly.

“Well I’m working with Mr. Sun and Mr. Moon for awhile.”

“Why?” They both asked.

“Well, Sunbeams. Y/N here is my super special helper. They are here to make sure everything runs smoothly and is super fun for everyone.”

“Ohhh. Ok. Can you play with us tomorrow, Mx. y/n?” Aurora asked.

“Of course I would love to play with you girls. It would be an honor.”

The girls smiled and you all continued to play the game of pretend. Until a man, the girl’s father, came to pick them up. You waved to them as they left.

“You don’t play much do you, Sunshine?” Sun asked.

“Was it that obvious?” You asked laughing awkwardly.

“Hmm maybe not to the girls but I could tell. They enjoyed playing with you”

“Really?! Seemed more like they were tolerating me.”

“Haha. They don’t get to play much with other girls. If you couldn’t tell they have a bit of an….”

“Attitude problem? Yeah I could. I know how to ignore things like that though. After all their just kids.”

“Yes. Well Moon doesn’t like them much. Says they are brats that need to learn some manners, but I.. it’s not their fault. They are in a difficult situation right now and kids like that may lash out. So its perfectly normal and….”

“Hey, Sunny….. Its ok. I get it. Trust me. People, including children sometimes have trouble with feelings and their emotions.”

“Thank you, Sunshine. For understanding.”

“No problem. Soooo. Wanna see your room?”

“Oh! Our room! Oh! Yes! But first I need to clean up. Clean up! Clean up!”

You giggled at Sun’s antics before going to help him clean up the daycare. Putting away toys and wiping away spills and messes. As you both cleaned, you talked. Sunny about his day and you asking questions about he kids. It eventually led to asking questions about the other. Favorite color? Yellow for sun, lavender for you. Favorite flowers? Sunflowers of course silly. Jasmine. It just smells so nice. What about Moon? Why don’t you ask him yourself. Favorite thing to do? Painting. Me too, though I’m not very good at it. Its still fun.

Finally the daycare was clean and Sun was practically vibrating in place.

“Oh can we see it now. Huh? Huh?”

“Hahaha. Yes Sunny. You can go see the room now.”

“Yay!! Ok hold on Sunshine.”

“Hold…Woah!”

Sun grabbed your waist as he latched his wire and practically yanked you both up to their balcony. You held on for dear life not expecting him to go this fast. Once on the landing, you slowly let go of his neck and slid down to the ground.

“Please give me a better warning next time Sunny. You almost gave me a heart attack.”

“Oh sorry, Sunshine. I was just so excited.” He looked from you to the curtain in anticipation.

“Go on. I’m fine just need a minute.”

Clapping his hands rapidly, he practically ran into to the room. You watched him go, doing breathing exercises to get your heart rate under control. Once everything was calm. you stood up and walked past the curtain, and into the room. Going down the stairs, you see Sun standing in the center of the room.

“Sunny? You ok?”

He didn’t say anything. You began to fidget in nervousness.

“I know its not much, but I hope both you and Moon…”

You didn’t get to finish as you were suddenly lifted from the ground and into a crushing hug. Sun buried his head into your chest and you put your hands around his neck.

“Thank you. Thank you so much Sunshine. We love it. It’s absolutely perfect. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” Sun’s voice seemed to be a bit muffled but you could hear the emotions in his voice.

You smiled and started to pet some of his rays.

“Your welcome you guys. You deserve it. You both work so hard and it wasn’t fair that you all have been treated so poorly. Anyway I’m glad you like it.”

It was silent for a bit as Sun just held you and you continued your petting hearing a small whirling purr coming from within him. Hmmm cute. Slowly the hug began to loosen until finally you where back on the floor.

“So did you like your presents?”

“Presents?!”

“Don’t tell me you didn’t notice.” You giggled at Sun and turned around, missing the slight orange coloring of a blush on Sun’s cheeks.

“I couldn’t get a bed yet, but I did get a ton of pillows and lots of blankets for you guys to relax on.” You explained pointing to the little nest. Sun looked and gasped.

“Oh it looks so comfy cozy. Look at all the fuzzy blankets.” He ran to the pillow pile and lightly jumped on it snuggling into the blankets. Looking up the saw the decorate pillows and the plushies of him and Moon. “Oh look it’s a little me and Moony. They are so cute. I love them.” He cried snuggling up to the Moon plushie. It was just so cute you couldn’t help but smile.

“Over her is a makeshift self. I put some art supplies and books for you guys.”

“Art supplies!?” Sun ran to the self with the Moon plushie still in his hand. He softly caressed the art supplies. “Canvases and paints. Watercolors. How did you know I would like these?”

“Well you seemed to be really good at crafting with the kids but I thought you might like some actual art supplies. If you ever run out or there is something specific you want don’t hesitate to ask, ok?”

Sun looked at you with an unreadable expression on his face, hugging his Moon.

“Over here we have some books that I though you guys might like. Some story books for the kids and some others that I though Moon might like. If he doesn’t like them, then just tell me and I can get some that he will like.”

Sun walked over to the books picking each one up one by one. The same unreadable expression on his face.

“Moony says these are fine. Thank you again Sunlight. These are very nice gifts. We love them.”

He finally looked at with the biggest smile you had seen on him. It was so bright and happy. It made your heart flutter. You would do anything to keep that smile on Sun’s face.

“Well…I’m glad you guys like it. So…um…it’s getting late and I’ve been up for awhile so I’m gonna go now.”

“Wait! Moony wanted to ask. Did you sleep last night? You look like you didn’t?”

“Oh well actually. Haha. I couldn’t sleep last night.”

“At All!?”

“Yeah. To much on my mind. I guess it explains while I’m so tired now. Any way I’ll probably crash once I’m in bed. So…”

“Here.” Sun pulled something from his chest and walked to you. Grabbing you hand, he placed a blue wrapped candy inside.

“Candy?” You asked confused.

“It’s a Moondrop. It’s used to help you sleep. Eat it when you get home. It will help. Moon says he will know if you haven’t used it.”

You couldn’t help it you started laughing. These guys…they were so sweet. It took a bit before you calmed down but once calm you put the candy in one of your pant pockets.

“Ok. I’ll eat it when I get home. Thank you Moon and you to Sunny. Anyway. I really am tired. So I’m gonna head on home. Enjoy your room and the gifts. Bye guys.”

You grab your bag and start walking towards the door.

“Goodbye Sunshine. Sleep tight.”

You look back and wave to Sun before you walk out the door and down the staircase.

Sun stays looking at the door before looking around their new room and smiling softly to himself.

Chapter Text

You arrived home and went to your kitchen making a simple meal and a cup of warm tea. You showered after all the dust and sweat from cleaning the boys room it was so refreshing. Dressed for bed you laid down and set your alarm as you looked at your phone for a bit and then remembered the candy that they had given you. You got up to retrieve it and looked it over. ‘A sleep candy? Like melatonin?’ Shrugging you unwrap the treat and pop it in your mouth. The taste of vanilla and blueberries hit your tongue in a nice pleasant way. You rolled it around your mouth and smiled as it melted and your got hit with a soothing chocolate. Your eyes soon drooping as your fell asleep peacefully.

Back at the daycare Moon was just coming back from his patrol and he smiled softly as he spotted his books…his~ How lovely it was to have something just for him. To actually own something. He browsed the books and the titles finding them full of fairy tales, suspense, horror and…this one was different. He grabbed the book noting the picture of a candle and rose thorns. He read the back seeing it was a romance novel. A spin off of beauty and the beast. Shrugging he sat down in the comfy nest and started to read. It was a really good story he was very engrossed in in and Sun woke up in the headspace in anticipation for the day. He saw Moon was enjoying the book and went through the visual logs to read the story as well when suddenly an overheating alarm echoed in the headspace making him jump and tune into he visuals as he tried to figure out what was wrong.

“Moon! What's wrong?! What happened?!”

“NOTHING! Nothing at all! I'm…switch!”

And with that Moon turned on the lights and Sun was forced to front. Blinking in confusion he noticed their fans cooling down and sighed in relief at that. He picked up the book and shrugged as he placed a piece of paper as a bookmark and set it back on the shelf as he walked out and jumped into the ballpit to get ready for the day ahead. Moon was unnaturally quiet through the day until he saw y/n enter the daycare looking refreshed and well rested. Sun smiled as he walked towards them but froze as he heard Moon sputter and their fans speed up. He blinked in concern and was about to ask Moon if they were ok when he went deeper into the headspace and their fans cooled down. Y/n looked up in confusing but Sun just smiled and opened his arms for his hug.

"Good Morning, Sunshine! You look well rested. Did the moondrop work?”

Nodding you smile and sighed at the hug. “Yup had a very good nights rest. That stuff should be sold in stores. I always have a bit of trouble falling asleep at night and that candy worked wonders. Do you guys give them to the kids?”

Sun nodded as he set you down. “Only those who have a bit of trouble but they are smaller than the one we give you. The one we have is a special one that the shops sell so if you wanted to buy them I can give you a super special discount as our super special helper.”

“Really? Well looks like I'm gonna buy some and you don't have to give me a discount Sun. I’m happy to buy mech that has you guys. I actually got some comfy clothes from your old merch lines. Really comfy cozy. Now..ready for the day ahead.” You smiled as you looked up at the sunny attendant. He smiled and nodded excitedly just in time to hear the first giggles of kids. 

The day was the same as usual and you enjoyed playing with some of the kids. Ariella and Aurora spotted you before you saw them. They were wearing cute sun and moon themed overalls and they walked towards you and pulled you to play house with them. It was just as awkward as it was yesterday but you managed though you refused to hold the baby doll and they just shrugged but didn’t push you. Soon it was time for nap time and you smiled as they boys shifted but Moon wouldn't meet your gaze. You shrugged but waved as you grabbed your lunch and headed to the tables outside the daycare to eat the food you had brought. You were just finishing when you spotted a figure walking towards the daycare doors. You quickly put your food down and walked hastily to them so they didn’t enter and wake up the kids. You stopped them just at the door and saw that it was a smartly dressed woman who bore a striking resemblance to the twins. Smiling you opened your mouth to greet her but her glare stopped you.

“Who the hell are you and why are stopping me from entering?!”

You quickly shush her at her yelling. “Ma’am the kids are asleep right now so I'm afraid you cannot enter the daycare. Are you here to pick someone up? I am y/n and I am the new assistant to Sun and….”

“I don’t care who you are you do not shush me! I am here for my daughters! Now go and get them!”

You look at her wide eyed as you try to hold on to your temper. “Ma’am as I was trying it say I am the new assistant and if you are here to pick someone up I need to see your drivers license and pass and then I will check them out but you must stay out here so as the other children are not disturbed.”

The women puffed up as she glared at you. “Now listen here! I will not provide you with anything. Go in there and grab my daughters or better yet that stupid robot! He knows who I am and just so you know I will be calling your manager if you don’t. You know its against the law to hold children hostage!” You glared at her as you look at your Fazwatch to access the twins file and smile evilly when you notice that she is not on the pickup list better yet she is on her do not allow list. You look up a her and smile pleasantly.

“I’m sorry ma’am but I am unable to do that as you do not have the proper authorization to pick up any child in the daycare. Now if you can….”

“How dare you! Do you know who I am?! I will have your job! I will sue!”

You smile widened as your look at her. “Actually ma’am you can’t as I do not work for Fazcorp and am contracted by a third party. It also is against the law to kidnap children especially when they are under a divorce decree. For that matter you are only allowed by law to have supervised visits with the children's father now if you would like to sue me go ahead as I'm sure my boss who is one of the most respected lawyers in the state would love to take up the case against you. Now if we have nothing further or discuss…leave or I will inform security.~” 

The women looks at you in shock before her face turns bright red and she raises a hand to slap you but before she can even make her mark a large blue hand catches her as a growl echoes in the quiet space.

“They told you to leave. So leave…You are herby banned from the daycare and the premises. Trespassing on the property will be an immediate call to the police and you will be arrested. Do you understand.~”

The women shivers and nods as she looks up at Moon and once she is released she runs out the door. You huff and cross your arms as you look up at Moon. 

“I could have stopped that myself. Plus if she did that I could have sued her for assault and damages.”

Moon blinks at you and shakes his head. “Finish your lunch trouble maker.”

You giggle and nod as you head back to your lunch. “Thanks for the save Moon. I appreciate it,”

Your back is turned so you miss the blush as he looks at you and shakes his head before heading back to into the daycare and to the sleeping children.
