Adam looked out the glass. Still nothing.

"Looks like a few of the lights are out, but we can fix that later. Let's encourage Baby to cheer up-"

"With a controlled shock. I know, I know! But what if I don't want to eh? What if I just wanna go home and watch anime? What if I don't want to hurt my FRIENDS William?!?" Sky was letting his nerves get the best of him. He jumped at the slightest noises.

After hearing no response from Mr. Roboto, he pressed his forehead into the glass letting out a sigh of frustration. "I'm really, REALLY sorry about this, whoever you are." He touched the electric shock button.

This time the bolts of electricity were closer then ever. They danced right under Sky's nose. He jumped back.

He touched the button, revealing nothing. "Let's try another controlled shock."

Sky massaged his forehead. He pressed into the glass again. "What did I do to deserve this. I don't want to hurt anybody, even if they were just machines, but their not. They're my friends, aren't they?"

Without looking, he pressed the button again.

The shock was closer once again. Adam was really, really scared. He didn't want to make her angry.

When he checked the light, he saw nothing. His heart skipped a beat. "Great job, Circus Baby. We knew we could count on you." Sky stared out the window, utterly confused. "That concludes your duties for your first night on the job. We don't want you to leave overwhelmed, otherwise you might not come back." 

Under his breath Adam whispered, "Too late for that." 

The voice continued. "Please leave using the vent behind you, and we'll see you again tomorrow." Sky rolled his eyes and began to crawl.

As soon as he was a few meters in, he heard something behind him.

It was metal on metal.

He crawled faster, moving away from the sound. It sped up with him.

He was in panic mode right then and there. Not because of the sounds, well maybe a little, but because of the voice. 

It was Shelby.

"Sky. I forgot. Fly Sky. You're slow Sky, crawl faster." It was really soft. He could only make it out, thanks to the highness of her voice.

He crawled with all his might. "He does not know you, like I do, Sky. You're slow Sky, crawl faster. He doesn't understand what you are to us, Sky. You're slow Sky, crawl faster. He doesn't..."

Adam couldn't hear any more. It was blocked out by the clanging of metal behind him. It was gaining on him. Shubs was right. He was slow.

Just as he thought he was running out of strength, she spoke again. "Help Sky. You won't help us if you're dead. You're slow Sky," he burst through the vent and it sealed behind him, "crawl faster."

He ran to the elevator and slammed his hand on the big, red, obvious button to close the doors and begin his accent.

He sat and cried. Tears spilled down his face, falling to the floor of the elevator. He pulled out his phone.

As soon as he got reception, he received several texts. Most were from Ty, and a couple of them were from Ross. One was from somebody else.

William Afton wrote, I do hope your night was tolerable, Adam. If you have any serious concerns please feel free to contact me. I hope it won't have to come to this though.

Adam considered texting him, telling him about what he had seen. Then he decided against it. Telling the owner of a company that his robots were exact copies of his best friends would sound, kind of crazy.

He looked at the texts from Ty instead. He wrote things like Hope your night is going well, and Have you seen the animatronics yet?, and the occasional You probably don't have reception that far underground, do you?.

Adam quickly texted him back saying that he needed to talk right away. Ty responded with a simple K.

It was Ross's texts that confused Adam. He sent three, and they were as follows:

Just so you know, I would only do this for a really good friend of mine.

I'm kind of considering taking that back... 

i take it back i take it back i take it back bad idea bad idea bad idea

Adam asked if anything was wrong, but didn't receive an answer.

The elevator dinged, letting Adam know that the doors were ready to be opened. He walked into the little dirt room and climbed the ladder, lifting up the trapdoor and climbing into the abandoned, cleaned out work room. He immediately got in his car and drove home.

As he drove, his mind wallowed over every detail of the place he just experienced. He wondered if Ty would believe him about the animatronics. He wondered if he was going crazy.

As soon as he drove into the driveway he saw Ty. He waved, but Ty looked worried. "Do you know where Ross is? He left a couple minutes after you in his lucky squirrel pajamas. I haven't seen him since."

Adam swallowed. He looked at the texts over again. "I dunno, Ty. I just..." He pressed his fingers into his forehead, massaging his temples. "Ty I think, I think I'm going crazy."

Ty's eyes widened. He brought Adam inside and sat him down on the sofa with a warm blanket. He disappeared for a few moments and came back with two cups of steaming hot chocolate.

Sky grinned. "Ross would be jealous." His mind wandered back to his other friends. "Ty I know I'm going crazy. It couldn't be real."

Ty kicked his feet up on the coffee table with his own cup of cocoa. "Well Ross can have some when he gets back from wherever, but right now, I want to hear about your night." He gave Adam a knowing smile.

"Well I-"

He was cut of by the slam of the door.
