(Gold's POV)

Again, today was BORING!!! I hate this. Why did things become boring when my near-death experiences arrived? ARGH!! Okay, it's 11:59...

Yes, my heart is beating fast again. If you have to do this for the rest of your life, your heart will go crazy EVERY TIME!! Unless you were some kind of pro... at facing nightmarish, killing robots.

It happens. I'm in the same office I've been in for last 2 nights. The phone rings once again, resulting in the long message.

"Hello, hello! Hey, you're doing great! Most people don't last this long! I mean, ya know, the-they usually move on to other things by now...i'm not implying that they died. Tha-that-that's not what I meant... Uhh, anyway, I better not take up too much of your time, uhh, things starting getting real tonight. Uh, h-hey listen, I had an idea: If you happen to get caught and want to avoid getting stuffed into a Freddy suit, uhh, try playing dead. Ya know: go limp. Then there's a chance, uhh, maybe they'll think you're an empty costume instead. Then again, if they think you're an empty costume, they might try ta...stuff a metal skeleton into you. I wonder how that would work......Yeeeah never mind; scratch that, it's best just to not get caught. Umm, well, ok. I-I'll leave you to it. See you on the flip side!"

Not implying they died. Yeah, right. Try playing dead? That would've worked if I didn't offend Psyduck. That thing wants to strangle me! Dead or alive! I open the monitor and ALREADY, Lopunny is gone. I look for it in the dining area. IT'S NOT THERE!! I check the backstage. Phew, it's there! 

I decide to check Pirate's Cove... um... I already see Braixen's head sticking out of the curtain. I go back to the camera that shows the stage and Psyduck has left... I look for it on the cameras and it's standing in front of the camera that show the entrance to the restrooms. Psyduck sure does look mad.

Then I hear something screaming. I lower the monitor and Braixen's standing through the left doorway... it doesn't move. It's left arm moves up and it points using its finger. I look at where it's pointing and... it's my pizza. 

I throw my pizza out of the doorway and Braixen runs after it. I immediately close the door when it leaves. Then I hear something on the right side. I turn the lights on and it's Psyduck. I close the door and run up to the window.

Psyduck is once again, holding up a piece of paper. It says "YOU GAVE A PIZZA TO FOXY BUT NOT ME?!"

"Foxy?" I ask. "I don't know who in your name you're talking about..."

Then Psyduck runs away. Again, I hear pots and pans falling to the floor. I'm now hearing a creepy laugh. "WHAT KIND OF A LAUGH IS THAT?!" I yell. "LAUGHS ARE SUPPOSED TO SOUND ALL NICE AND HAPPY! NOT SCARY LIKE THAT!"

I check the monitor and... I see a pair of eyes in the dining area. They're in the far back of the room. I check the show stage and NO ONE IS THERE!!! It's Ursaring!! Then I hear something on the left side. I turn the lights on and it's Lopunny. Luckily, I left the right door closed so Psyduck doesn't kill me...

It's holding up a piece of paper saying "Staring contest!!"

I smile. "Alright then. 3... 2... 1... go!" 

Me and Lopunny are now staring into each other's eyes. I'm already struggling, due to the fact that this thing can jump at me at any moment. But it spares me and we keep on going. I check my watch and it's 4am.

I blink. "Agh. You're good!" Then Lopunny leaves. I close the door right when it leaves... just in case.

I check the monitor once again and I see Ursaring in the 4A cam... I don't close the right door because it will go to Cam 4B before it gets to me. But then I hear the same scream. I lower the monitor down and Ursaring is in my face. It has it's right arm up, holding up four fingers. Then it lowers one down.

IS THIS A COUNTDOWN!? I think fast but then I do one of the stupidest things I've ever done and press its nose. The nose makes a honk sound. I brace for impact but Ursaring exits the office! 

I close the door when it exits. Then I see Psyduck at the window. I leave both doors and walk up the window again. Since this thing wants to kill me just because I didn't give it pizza, I decide to anger it more.

"So... why are you based on a duck Pokémon if you're meant to be a chicken?" I ask. "Your beak sure does make ya look like a Psyduck. The only difference is your hair is yellow, you wear a bib, you hold a cupcake, and you argue over pizza. So I'll just call you a Psyduck..."

Psyduck starts hitting the door. But then the bell rings and once again, I'm back in my bed. This time, it was a lot less scary. It was mostly fun because of Ursaring, Lopunny, and Braixen. Yeah, Ursaring almost killed me but pressing its nose just made it go away. It's just Psyduck I'm gonna have to really worry about.
