"Just take this box and place it next to the other props,"

The dragon animatronic set down the box next to the pile, rubbing her hands together after she placed it down. She placed her hands on her hips, her eyes going through the many piles of boxes.

"Alas, your props are in abundance and yet you require more. I'm assuming...that you and Funtime Freddy share them, correct?" she tilted her head to the side.

"Mhm," the fox stood up and turned towards her, "I see that you're already getting your way around here, eh?"

She gave a slight smile, letting out a soft laugh. "Quite right. I really have to thank you and the others for your hospitality and patience. I mean- if you hadn't found me, I would've been rotting in that room."

That was true. After she had woken up in the Storage Room, she struggled for a few days being by herself. Heck, even walking was a huge challenge for her because she would fall back down every time she got up. She was lost, confused, afraid. No,

She was terrified.

It wasn't until she was discovered by one of the animatronics or...what they call a 'bidybab' who shrieked after spotting the dragon and ran out of the room, bringing Funtime Foxy along with it.

"You can say that. I still can't get Vivian's shriek out of my mind. It was hilarious!" Funtime Foxy let out a chuckle, the dragon following along.

"Yeah. You and the others really helped me out. Like- you discovered me, Funtime Freddy helped me calm down after I was taken out of that cold room, Ballora taught me how to walk without falling on my face, and Baby- I mean, Elly showed me around and gave me a room!" The dragon gave a tooth-smile, her fangs standing out the most, "like- you guys are awesome!"

Funtime Foxy gave a smile as ember eyes met blue ones, "I'm glad to hear that. Now, shall we—"

"ͯOͯͯhͯ, ͯtͯͯhͯͯeͯͯrͯͯeͯ ͯyͯͯoͯͯuͯ ͯaͯͯrͯͯeͯ~ ͯIͯ'ͯvͯͯeͯ ͯbͯͯeͯͯeͯͯnͯ ͯlͯͯoͯͯoͯͯkͯͯiͯͯnͯͯgͯ ͯeͯͯvͯͯeͯͯrͯͯyͯͯwͯͯhͯͯeͯͯrͯͯeͯ ͯfͯͯoͯͯrͯ ͯyͯͯoͯͯuͯ~"

Upon hearing the voice, both animatronics froze and looked at from where it came from. They spotted another animatronic: its body was all wires with eyes scattered around it, it had a yellow and green striped party hat, a red clown nose and fluffy red-red hair with a white streak. Its eyes, however, were black with purple orbs in them. The way it was moving was rather...unsettling. The way it tilted its head and twisted its limbs as it made its way down from the ceiling was disturbing to watch.

Funtime Foxy let out a growl as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, earning a concerned look from the dragon. She then saw that the animatronic was smiling at her in a maniacal manner. Oh no.

She swallowed, taking a step back as an annoyed expression washed over her face.

"𐌉'ʋ𐌄 𐌁𐌄𐌄𐌍 ꮤ𐌀𐌉𐌕𐌉𐌉𐌉𐌉𐌍ɠ~" the animatronic twisted and turned as it now stood in front of her, its eyes boring into hers, the maniacal smile still plastered on its face.

"Ennard," she narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms, glaring.

Funtime Foxy stood at a distance and watched as the humanoids 'interacted' with each other, watching carefully in case he needed to intervene.

Ennard let out a sharp laugh with a taunting edge, "Why," he inched his face closer to hers, "can't I pay my favourite person a visit in the vicinity of my own place, hmm?"

She didn't react. She just stood there, staring at him with her now half-lidded eyes, "Whatever," she let out a frustrated sigh, "what's your obsession with me anyways?"

The clown scoffed, shaking his head, "Funny you say that."

Ennard circled her once, studying her features before stopping right in front of her, "Hmm, so you're that Project 0001 who they call R.A,"

"Yes," R.A responded in confirmation, "that's me."

"Ah, the one with a big mouth I see," he chuckled with a hand on his chin.

R.A's eyes widened for a split second before furrowing her brows and letting out a growl, clenching her jaw hard.

"Ooh, is someone maaad?" the clown taunted in a sing-song tone, irritating the dragon even more.

"Oh wow, Ennard! Your constant bullying and harassment is soooo entertaining!" R.A shot back aloud, her voice dripping with obvious sarcasm, "so entertaining that I'm FED UP with it!" she narrowed her eyes once again.

"Awww, is that so?" Ennard tilted his head and leaned forward, tucking his hands behind his back.

R.A drew her face back and stared at the amalgamation, her upper lip tugging into a snarl. It was quite odd that the amalgamation's eyes never left her. He had forgotten that Funtime Foxy was still in the room with them.

The humanoids stared at each other for a while before Ennard pulled back, "Oh! By the way, Afton wants to see you," Ennard flicked R.A's forehead, earning a hiss from her in response.

"You could've conveyed this message without wasting so much time, you know?!" R.A exclaimed, raising her voice a bit as she placed her index and middle finger on the place where the clown had flicked her.

"Like I said," he placed a hand on her shoulder, his smile widening from ear to ear, "I wanted to pay my favourite person a visit and take my sweeeet time~"

R.A's eyes diverted to the hand placed on her warm, furry shoulder. She felt the cold metal brushing against her as Ennard moved his fingers in a scratching manner. Then his grip tightened for a moment, a soft gasp escaping R.A's lips. Ennard then loosened his hand and drew it back with a chuckle. He turned around and began walking until he stopped, craning his neck in a creepy manner, "Afton doesn't like to wait, so you better hurry up."

And so, the clown disappeared off into the darkness.

The Private Room

"All 3 screens have now been fixed. There was a problem in their main wiring, but I replaced them with a new source, so they should work now."

Afton nodded as he entered '1-9-8-3' onto the keypad on the wall. The screens turned on with a beep, displaying static for a few moments before showing the surveillance of 3 areas: the top screen showed a closet, the one on the bottom right showed a bed, and the one on the left showed a corridor which had a chair placed against the wall.

"Mr.Afton?"

The man swivelled his seat and met eyes with the blue-eyed dragon, setting down the tablet on his lap.

"Ah, R.A," he then got up, shoving the tablet in the poor worker's hand who nearly dropped it to the floor.

He looked up and met her gaze, "Please excuse Ennard's behaviour. He has some...issues."

Those issues arose ever since I was taken out of that damn Storage Room.

R.A gave a quick nod, urging Afton to continue talking.

"You may be wondering why I called you here. Tell me," he tucked his hands behind his back, lifting his chin up, "how do you feel?"

"I feel much better than last week, Mr.Afton. Although..."

The man raised a brow.

"I can't help but experience this...weird feeling. This feeling of...not belonging..." R.A looked down at her hands, staring at them for a few moments before looking back at him.

"Uh-huh...could you elaborate further, please? I'm quite intrigued to hear what you have to say," he replied, crossing his arms.

R.A let out a sigh. "Well— I have this weird feeling that...this- is not my supposed body like- I...I don't know how well to describe this feeling, but it feels as if I don't belong in it. I was- someone else before,"

Afton remained silent as his coffee eyes bored onto the animatronic. "Mhm, I see. If that's the case, I want you to do something. Think back. Think about the most furthest memory you can recall, such as where you were before coming here."

R.A's lips parted as her eyes diverted to the screen with a thoughtful look, "I...recall..."

Meanwhile, Afton drummed his fingers against his arm, and his eyes were half-lidded. He tilted his head as he continued gawking at R.A with a raised brow.

"Being in some...room...it was like...in a workshop or something," R.A continued thinking hard, but even as an animatronic, memory was indeed a problem for her, "that's...all I remember."

"Hmm, how odd," Afton placed a finger on his chin, "I've had someone else tell me something similar,"

R.A's eyes widened a bit, "Wait, what do you-"

"Sir, it's time for our main inspection," The worker interrupted with a hurried, frightful look, but Afton shot the man a death glare, causing the poor guy to shrunken down. He then returned back to the dragon.

"But other than that, I hope your stay hasn't been troublesome or anything?" Afton asked, growing impatient with each passing second.

"No, sir," R.A replied bluntly, noticing the sudden shift in Afton's mood, "if you don't have anything else to convey, I'll take my leave from here,"

Afton gave a nodded and motioned R.A towards the door. The dragon gave one last nod before leaving the room, letting out a sigh of relief. She then met eyes with glistening, forest-green eyes which gawked into her soul.

"ACK!" R.A shrieked, jumping back like a cartoon character.

Elly let out a giggle as she placed a hand on her lips, "Gotcha!" She had a child-like voice. After all, she was the youngest amongst the crew so it made sense.

"Gee, Elly," R.A placed a hand on her heart, "you scared me,"

"Yeah," she walked over to R.A and grabbed her hand with her tiny one, "that just shows I'm a great scarer!"

R.A's lips curved to a slight smile and peered down to her, not wanting to appear rude or show her discomfort to the little girl. She covered it with a soft chuckle. "Say, what brings you here?"

"Oh! I was looking for you because Funtime Freddy was showing all of us his new trick!" she began tugging on the dragon's hand, "come on, let's go! We can't miss this!"

Elly's voice was loud and slightly high-pitched which irritated R.A since she wasn't used to her yet, but she played it off by giving a nod.

The little girl's eyes sparkled with excitement as she let out a squeal and clapped her hands, grabbing R.A's hand and dragging her along while laughing.
