Description
The next few weeks seemed to be one of the most busiest weeks Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria ever had to face. Since of the new additions, specifically of the arcade games, it was like the murder that had taken place in the neighborhood never happened. It seemed that the neighborhood had gotten a boost from all the children's laughter heard within the building. Like things were restored to how they originally were.

How ironic that a pizzeria could do that.

Everything seemed pretty normal. The animatronics started gathering their likes and dislikes, as the employees had presumed. They started growing some on the kids, and it appeared that they all adored them very much. Especially Freddy, considering most of the kids liked him best. They didn't seem to dislike any of the children, unless they witnessed one bullying another or just being plain rude. But, even then, they'd take it in a light matter and as friendly as possible.

Just like planned.

The games were a hit, and the prizes seemed to be the highlight of the restaurant. They'd end up having to restock or would end up running out of a specific item that has gained popularity. The item that seemed to have hit the most attention was the Freddy Fazbear balloons, and of the pirate items.

Pirate Cove had been getting a lot more attention since of the prizes. Most of the parents only allowed their children to play with the swords if it were in Pirate Cove, as with any other items. Foxy ended up using these to his advantage as to let the audience use their bought items when he interacted with them. He even set up some games that they could use their items in.

One game Foxy came up with was that whoever wore their bandana a certain way was on a certain team, and they'd separate based upon that. Or, on other occasions, he'd base it on what eye the children would wear their eye patches on. Ones that didn't have either were put on either side, just to even the numbers out. Foxy would then give them questions about the stories he told them or about pirate culture. He'd educate them about the subjects while he ran his show, and would see who had been paying attention and who hadn't.

Whichever team won would either get coupons for pizzas or free tokens and/or tickets. This seemed to drag a lot of attention into Pirate Cove, and the adults were even more weary of the fox, since he'd step off the stage at times just to ask the questions or to give the prizes to the winning teams. The children didn't mind it, like always, and were even excited about getting to meet the fox. Foxy appeared to be more friendly, but it seemed that, no matter how hard the animatronic pirate tried, he would never gain the adults' trust.

Freddy's band had been getting...well, the least amount of attention. Parties would still run and children would still watch them, but it seemed that they haven't been as interesting as Pirate Cove was. At times, the animatronics would just sit on stage and watch the children pile into Pirate Cove just to watch the fox during his shows. The employees noticed this, and had decided to give new songs to the band to "perform".

This, of course, triggered more children to return back to the band, but many still stayed at Pirate Cove. It seemed that, with every new addition, the attention was shifted back and forth. Eventually, the employees had gotten a bit tired of this pattern and had decided to go with Jane's idea.

They were going to collide the two together. How on Earth they would manage it was something they'd figure out together.

And this was that specific day. It was Thursday, which meant that children were busy piling inside the pizzeria doors to watch the animatronics run their shows. A portion went running to the games while others made their way to Pirate Cove, or towards the band. Others were running over to the play area, but it was a small amount of the children.

The ones that went running over to the band were greeted with an empty stage. A sign that read: "Meet us at Pirate Cove!" had been set on the edge of it in everyone's view.

The children, filled with curiosity, then had piled into Pirate Cove, which was pretty crowded as it was. The stage was blocked by the curtains, which meant that it wasn't open yet. A large portion of the children went to the games to pass time while a lot of the children stayed, eager as to knowing what was going on. A lot of them remained clueless, though, and had remained sitting on the floor or in the booths/tables with their parents as they waited for what was to come.

--

"Do I really have to do this?" Freddy asked as he tugged on the pirate hat he was wearing, dearly missing his trustworthy top hat, which was probably put into a bag somewhere backstage.

"If I'm doing it, then you are, too," Bonnie said as he patted his friend on the back. Freddy turned to give him a glare, clearly not amused. Chica let out a giggle.

"I don't know about you guys, but I really like my costume. This might be fun, too! I always found pirates intriguing."

"Ye' 'ave?" Foxy asked, tilting his head at her. "I thought cookin' intrigued ye'."

"Oh, it does," Chica said as she flattened her clothes a bit. "I just can't help but admire how awesome pirate's lives are!"

Foxy smirked before turning back to the curtain glancing through them, but kept himself hidden. The employees continued to run back and forth on the blocked stage, setting up several props for their show. The animatronics just stood there, unsure of where to go. They already had their dialogue memorized, so they didn't need any rehearsal.

"So...They decided to group us together," Bonnie commented as he fidgeted with the plastic sword on his belt. "I wonder why on Earth they'd want to do that."

"Well, maybe they just want to try something new," Chica shrugged. "I mean, I haven't tried this before, have you?"

"No," Bonnie shook in his response. "How 'bout you, Freddy?"

"No, and I'm not sure if I really want to, being honest," The bear animatronic responded as he looked to the floor. "I was really hoping to have sung 'Crust in My Heart' by now."

"Oh, come on," Bonnie rolled his eyes. "We can do that anytime. This, though? I doubt we'll be doing anything like this again for awhile."

"What really is this?" Freddy asked as he motioned towards the stage they were on. "I mean, we're just acting like pirates. We could've done that anytime!"

"Aye, but ye' don't have a stage for that, now do ye'?" Foxy asked, giving them a smirk. Freddy gave him a glare in response, making the pirate animatronic look away. An employee then approached them.

"3 Minutes 'til you perform, guys," He said as he checked something off from the clipboard he was holding. "Get into your positions, alright?"

"Got it~" Chica sang as she skipped onto the stage, stepping on her appropriate spot. Foxy gladly followed behind as Bonnie walked behind him rather slowly, Freddy staggering behind him. Once they got into their positions, they glanced at each other.

"Well, here we go," Chica said as she flattened her outfit once more. "I'm kind of nervous."

"Why would ye' be nervous, lass?" Foxy asked, looking back at her.

"Well...I'm afraid of making a mistake," Chica admitted as she rubbed her metal arm, giving him a sheepish smile. Bonnie scoffed.

"Chica, even if you make a slight one, no one will notice. All that matters is that we're making the children smile, right?"

"Right," Freddy nodded. "Their smiles are all we need to know that we have done our job correctly."

"True words spoken finely," Foxy nodded. They remained in their positions in silence until they heard the employees starting to shush the children. They then adjusted themselves, awaiting for one of the employees to start to explain what was going on.

It came quicker than expected.

The pizzeria managed to quiet down rather quickly, minus the sounds of the games. Waiters and waitresses took this opportunity to hurry to the kitchen to give the orders to the chefs, wanting the pizzas to come in as quickly as possible. One of the employees took one of the microphones and tested it, looking up to the crowd.

"Alright," He said as he stood in the front of the stage. He cleared his throat before saying, "My name is Andrew, and, as you may know, you have been directed here in order to view the animatronics. Well, today, we decided to gather a special performance just for you guys! Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica are going to join us in a special pirate adventure that awaits you all! How fun does that sound?"

Immediately, the crowd of children had burst into an applause followed by several cheers. Andrew chuckled.

"Throughout this adventure, you are going to be given plenty of opportunities to win prizes. This also includes plenty of interaction, since you guys play quite a big role in this. For children who do not wish to participate in any of these activities, feel free to stay seated throughout the performance, but you are free to answer any of the questions the animatronics may ask you. Just keep in mind that they are free to walk around you guys and speak to you, but in no way are they allowed to harm you."

The children blinked in confusion, but the adults remained attentive. Andrew continued:

"The emergency exits are to your left and to your right. They are to be accessible at all times, and we ask that you do not block them at any time during the show. Fire extinguishers are placed near the emergency exits, and are also to be accessible at all times. If any of the noises or animatronics bother you, feel free to exit the show at any time, but please try to not be of a disturbance. We ask that you do not interfere with the animatronics or step anywhere on the stage. We also ask that you do not throw anything at the stage, since it can distract the robots performing. But they'll return it to you upon your request. We do not hold any responsibility for any stolen personal items, or any harm that is a result of breaking the rules after our given warnings."

The adults then made themselves comfortable, satisfied with the given information. The children were too busy squirming or scooting closer, eager to see the animatronics. Andrew noticed this, and gave them sheepish smiles.

"So, without any further a do, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria would like to welcome you to: Pirate Foxy's Terrific Adventure! Enjoy!"

The children then cheered as some upgraded lights had suddenly came on and lit the stage. The curtains then rose, revealing the animatronics, whom were in their trademark poses. It took a minute or two until the children's cheers ceased, in which the animatronics had immediately gone to business.

"Ahoy lads n' lassies!" Foxy exclaimed as he stood at the edge of the stage, observing the audience before him. The children either applauded or waved to the animatronic fox, in which he had waved back. Some replied with a 'Hello Foxy!', in which he would be sure to acknowledge their presence. He then stepped back a bit.

"I be Foxy, the Cap'n of this here crew! And in me crew, I got Bonnie, Chica, and Freddy! Ye must be familiar with 'em, right?"

The children ended up cheering as they waved the animatronics behind Foxy, whom had smiled and waved back in excitement. The animatronic fox laughed.

"'Ol Foxy isn't usually one ta' brag, but I got me a feelin' that this show will be one of our best! Right, Freddy?"

"That's up for them to decide, Foxy," Freddy said as he motioned towards the audience.

"Really?" Foxy asked as he titled his metal head at the audience. "Why, these landlubbers must be very special if they get ta' decide on how we be runnin' the show!"

With that, the fox animatronic then stepped off the stage, resulting in some children to scoot away. Others scooted closer, and Foxy made sure not to step on any of them. He then walked through the crowds and the tables, observing everyone in the room.

"Uh, Foxy?" Bonnie asked, tilting his head. "What are you doing?"

"I be admirin' the audience, Bonnie!" He replied as he continued to walk by the tables. "Everyone here be lovely, they be! 'Specially ye', lass! I like yer' hair."

A girl blushed as he tugged at her pigtails, and Foxy chuckled before quickly sprinting back to the stage, minding the children and parents in his path. Once he got back on stage, he smiled.

"Today, we be goin' on an adventure, we be! An' this isn't a normal adventure, because it be involvin' brave pirates that are willin' to chug on pizza n' learn! How many of ye' are in that category?"

A large portion of the children raised their hands. The ones that didn't looked around nervously. Foxy chuckled.

"Well, if yer' not, then I suggest goin' to the games an' playin' if ye' aren't interested in participatin'! Or if ye' don't want ta' learn, which I suppose ye'll just have ta' face, anyway."

Chica then stood next to Foxy as she exclaimed, "Make sure to enjoy the pizzas during our adventure! Travelers do get quite hungry, don't they, Foxy?"

"Indeed they do, Chica," Foxy smiled. "I suggest goin' with cheese, since it be my favorite toppin', but ye' go with what ye' want."

"During our adventure, we'll also need your cooperation," Bonnie stated. Foxy nodded.

"We do be needin' that, we be! If none of ye' are willin' to answer th' questions, we be lackin' on our travelin'! And, the more we be lackin', the more loot we be' missin'! Which be remindin' me..."

Foxy then made his way towards a chest that was set in the corner. He opened it and rummaged through it before grabbing a handful of tokens. Once the children were able to see it, their eyes widened with interest.

"The loot we be carryin' be full of tickets, tokens, n' a lot of other booty!" Foxy commented as he then tossed the coins back in the chest. "We have plenty ta' give away, but we can only do that if ye' be listenin' n' paying attention ta' what we have ta' say."

"That's right," Freddy agreed. "We will be leading you through our adventure and will stop to ask questions. What the prize is only comes afterwards."

"Yep," Bonnie nodded. "You don't know what you can win!"

"The prizes range from free pizzas to thousands of tickets and tokens," Chica commented.

"Indeed they do!" Foxy said as he turned back to the audience. "But, gettin' to the adventure. We are goin' to do this by separatin' ye' into teams. How's 'bout that?"

The children then cheered, and Foxy smiled. He then directed, "If ye' be on my team, go on n' sit on the right direction of th' stage."

A large portion of the children sat down to the right. Another portion of the children stood, a bit unsure on where to go. Freddy spoke, "If you're on my team, sit on the left direction of the stage."

About half of the portion went to side on the left. Bonnie instructed, "If you're on my team, sit in the middle."

More than half the children went to sit in the middle. Chica said, "And if you're on mine, sit in the back!"

A smaller portion went in the back. Chica looked a bit affected, but Bonnie placed a metal hand on her shoulder, and she had smiled. Foxy ignored this as he exclaimed, "So let's get to it!"

Immediately, the audience cheered as they scooted closer, eager for the adventure. Some pirate-themed music had suddenly started to play through hidden speakers, appearing to occupy the silence of the room. Some extra upgraded lights that were put onto the ceiling had lit up, appearing to make a pattern shine onto the floor. The children laughed and smiled as their eyes lit up at the new colors of the lights. Since the room appeared much more dimmer, the lights that shone around the room seemed to bring most of the attention back on the stage, where most of the heated lights were shining as it is.

Foxy laughed, the music still playing in the background. He danced a bit on stage, rather impressively for an animatronic. The others smiled as they watched the Captain, joining in on the wild dance he performed. They all seemed excited, and it certainly brought up the energy contained in the room, what with all the flights flashing around.

Soon, before any of the children knew it, Foxy lightly jumped a bit on stage as he started singing:

"Hope ye lads n' lassies be ready
As we go n' travel the seven seas!
An' what will we bring with us?
Why, pizza filled with cheese!

An' it be best if ye' don't know
Where the show is gonna' go,
But all that matters, really,
Is ta' have fun an' be silly!

Now, I don't want ta' see ye' go,
So it'd be best for ye' ta' know
That we don't tolerate reckin',
Or the plank is where ye'll go!"

Foxy stopped singing, but the music still played. He then continued to dance, but had suddenly grabbed Chica's metal hand as he led her to the front of the stage. He let go as he stood at the side, holding his hooked hand with his metal one behind his back. Bonnie danced in the background as Freddy stood at the left side of the stage, watching Chica adjust herself in front of the audience.

She took the opportunity to continue the song:

"Everything you could ever desire
All starts with friendship and adventure
And with that, you'll always know,
That those bonds will always grow!
So long as we're with you~"

She then skipped over to Freddy and had lightly pushed him to the front. She ended up dancing with Bonnie just for background. Freddy adjusted his pirate hat before singing:

"Though we may be sailing,
We all know where our hearts are aching
Back to where things matter the most
Which include back at home
Way far off near the coast
So we can be with all of you!"

He then scooted backwards and pushed Bonnie to the front, whom stumbled, but regained his balance as he sung:

"Though we may fighting for what's true,
We all can get sick of seein' the blue
In which we know that the things we left behind
Will lead us back to you!"

The animatronics then grouped together as they sang:

"And since we all know what's true,
We can only say to you:
High hopes for us out on the blue!
So long as we're with you!"

With that, they then stepped away from each other as they bowed, resulting in a huge amount of cheers from the audience. Children screamed in delight as the adults rolled their eyes at the cheesy lyrics. The younger audience, of course, didn't mind, but the song had even gotten the author to cringe.

"Well, that was fun while it lasted," Bonnie commented as he got into his position onto the stage. "What do we do now, Cap'n Foxy?"

"Now we actually be startin' our adventure, we be," Foxy replied as he walked to the other side of the stage. "First we be needin' a plan ta' go somewhere. Where we be goin' is somethin' we all need ta' decide on together."

"Well, where is there to go?" Chica asked, tilting her metal head at the fox in confusion. Foxy, in response, smirked.

"Well, we be havin' some options ta' choose from, we do! But it isn't up ta' any one of us ta' choose, but of me crew!"

"And by crew, you mean all of ours?" Bonnie asked.

"Aye," Foxy responded, rolling his eyes. He then faced the audience as he said, "We be goin' to list some of the places we can explore! I want ye' all to vote where we go, alright?"

All the children nodded their heads, eager to interact with the story. One of the employees then walked up to the stage and handed a piece of paper to Foxy, whom had gladly took it and started reading.

"We be havin' quite some islands to be choosin' from, we be," Foxy commented as he studied the list. "'Ol Foxy will just list out the ones he isn't black spotted in, he will."

"Black spotted? What does THAT mean?" Chica asked as she turned to Freddy. The bear animatronic shrugged. They then looked to Bonnie, whom had also shrugged. Foxy laughed.

"Means I been marked for death! Not that I did anythin' wrong, but..."

Freddy gave the fox animatronic a blank look, in which the pirate nervously smiled as he faced the audience.

"Anyway, we be able ta' go ta' th' Cursed Island o' Rennard, Smitstake's Island, or th' Jungle o' Mary."

A sudden childish squeal came out from the crowd, and everyone turned their heads. A girl that was around the age of 7 blushed as she covered her mouth, giving everyone a sheepish smile. Foxy laughed.

"Mary, ye' didn't tell me ye' were in th' audience!"

The other animatronics blinked in confusion as they looked at the child. The rest of the adults and children gave her confused looks as well, a little lost. Mary blushed as she covered her face in embarrassment.

"Ye' know what?" Foxy asked as he glanced at his other animatronic friends. "Let's go to th' jungle. I promised lassie here I'd take 'er, but I never did. But I be thinkin' this be the day I do!"

"A promise?" Freddy's eyes widened in surprise. "Well, we can't go against that, can we?"

"Indeed we can't," Bonnie nodded.

"Well, I guess it's the jungle. Sorry everyone!" Chica said as she called out to the crowd. Some children groaned in response while others just sat, wondering where this will go. Foxy laughed.

"It ain't so bad, ye' know! Besides, I planned some o' this one meself. Ye' might just like it."

This had gotten some children to get intrigued, while others still groaned, a bit annoyed. No one complained, though, as the animatronics then switched their positions as the music in the speakers had changed. It seemed more fitting as background music, which was quite suitable for the situation going on.

The animatronics were moving the props on stage in various locations. Some looked like they didn't belong, and everyone watched in confusion. The employees continued to watch the animatronics, a few of them hopping on stage to help move some things. While they continued to move things with the background music going on, Foxy sat on a wooden box that was placed on the edge of the stage. He sat on it and stared at the audience for a few seconds. The animatronics and employees continued to move around behind him, changing the setting of the stage.

Foxy said, "While they be changing' th' stage, why don't we all talk for a bit? Like, say, what be yer' favorite thing 'bout the seas? Raise yer' hand, for I only got me two ears."

One child raised their hand, in which Foxy had called on them. They cleared their throat before saying, "Getting wet!"

"Ah, gettin' wet be enjoyable, it be," The pirate nodded as he adjusted himself on the box. "'Specially when 'tis hot. Happens a lot out on th' sea, actually."

Another child raised their hand, and Foxy called on them. The child exclaimed, "Fishies!"

"Ye' like fishin'?" Foxy asked. The child nodded, and the animatronic smirked. "Neat. Ye' must be a patient lassie."

Several children's hands went up, and Foxy had to take some time to call on them separately. As they listed their favorite things about the seas, the animatronics and employees had finished setting up the stage. Once they did, Foxy had stopped calling on the children and went off of the box, pushing that to the side.

The music still went on as the animatronics then explained what they were going to do in their "adventure". A lot of the children seemed intrigued and had stayed throughout the performance. They'd stop to ask questions, and would end up giving prizes away. Sometimes, they'd give hundreds of tickets for each member of each team. It only happened once throughout their performance, but it had certainly gotten the children eager to answer the questions correct and to pay attention.

The animatronics interacted a lot with the audience and of themselves. They'd end up breaking in song in certain parts of their adventure, and had done their best to make things seem realistic, hence most of the props being made out of cardboard. The animatronics would sometimes step off stage and walk through the audience members. Foxy seemed to do it the most, with him being well known for doing so. They would detect if their audience member was uncomfortable with their presence, and would leave them alone. They also didn't harm any of the members, as guaranteed in Andrew's speech before the performance.

And, when the day ended, a lot of the children ended up having most of the larger prizes from the stand. Through some breaks they'd have through their performance, some wise children would go and play the games and would try to win tickets through answering some of the questions. Everyone went home with at least a smile on their faces, and they all seemed in a positive mood. Even the parents who weren't fond of the animatronics were glad seeing their child so excited and happy.

Maybe the animatronics weren't so bad after all.

--

It turned out that "Pirate Foxy's Terrific Adventure!" had made it onto the newspaper the next day. Many reviews from parents and/or critics were included in the article, and most of them were very positive. Of course, some of the critiques included the props and of the setting, which were more in the low quality side, but the main focus was shifted onto the animatronics. They did their part quite well, which was stated among many of the entries.

With that said, Mr. Fazbear decided to add "Pirate Foxy's Terrific Adventure!" to the pizzeria's schedule. They'd be performing it on Mondays and Thursdays, and would be sure to give the animatronics space to run their own shows. They still included new things in them, but more focus was shifted onto their new-added event, in which the employees would discuss more ideas for the performance. The animatronics would add in their own, which the employees would figure out as the robots would perform it.

No one complained, though. Most of their ideas were very clever.

This dragged much attention on Mondays and Thursdays, and the kids were even more attached to the animatronics more than they ever were. They made sure that the audience's comfort was one of the top priorities, and would do their best to make sure that the people who were uncomfortable with the animatronics had their own necessary space. The animatronics wouldn't step in their side of the room as much, and wouldn't interact with them upon their request. This helped with their view of the audience, but made sure to not look at them any differently than they would to the children willing to interact with them.

They loved all children equally. It was just how they were programmed.

This added attention resulted in more profit. And, of course, more profit equaled more decorations. Most of the new money went into new foods being served on the menus. They still focused on pizza, but made sure to include more of a variety, just for people's tastes. They also added new deserts, in which the children seemed to adore after having their share of pizza.

The new decorations added were more onto Pirate Cove, since that was where "Pirate Foxy's Terrific Adventure!" would take place. They expanded the stage larger than it originally was, and had morphed it more into the shape of a ship. They still had decorations lining on it, but they seemed to paint and decorate it more of a ship. This resulted in more space being added onto the room, which would lead to more children being available to sit in. Foxy's normal show seemed a bit more empty, with him just being the only one on stage, but he had more to interact with and had much more space to walk around in. Especially considering Foxy's love of moving around a lot.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the pizzeria's new additions, foods, and animatronics. No one really questioned what direction the pizzeria was heading in because no one found the need to.

Because, after all, who would question the happiness of kids?

The next few weeks seemed to be one of the most busiest weeks Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria ever had to face. Since of the new additions, specifically of the arcade games, it was like the murder that had taken place in the neighborhood never happened. It seemed that the neighborhood had gotten a boost from all the children's laughter heard within the building. Like things were restored to how they originally were.

The item that seemed to have hit the most attention was the Freddy Fazbear balloons, and of the pirate items.

Pirate Cove had been getting a lot more attention since of the prizes. Most of the parents only allowed their children to play with the swords if it were in Pirate Cove, as with any other items. Foxy ended up using these to his advantage as to let the audience use their bought items when he interacted with them. He even set up some games that they could use their items in.

One game Foxy came up with was that whoever wore their bandana a certain way was on a certain team, and they'd separate based upon that. Or, on other occasions, he'd base it on what eye the children would wear their eye patches on. Ones that didn't have either were put on either side, just to even the numbers out. Foxy would then give them questions about the stories he told them or about pirate culture. He'd educate them about the subjects while he ran his show, and would see who had been paying attention and who hadn't.

Whichever team won would either get coupons for pizzas or free tokens and/or tickets. This seemed to drag a lot of attention into Pirate Cove, and the adults were even more weary of the fox, since he'd step off the stage at times just to ask the questions or to give the prizes to the winning teams. The children didn't mind it, like always, and were even excited about getting to meet the fox. Foxy appeared to be more friendly, but it seemed that, no matter how hard the animatronic pirate tried, he would never gain the adults' trust.

Freddy's band had been getting...well, the least amount of attention. Parties would still run and children would still watch them, but it seemed that they haven't been as interesting as Pirate Cove was. At times, the animatronics would just sit on stage and watch the children pile into Pirate Cove just to watch the fox during his shows. The employees noticed this, and had decided to give new songs to the band to "perform".

This, of course, triggered more children to return back to the band, but many still stayed at Pirate Cove. It seemed that, with every new addition, the attention was shifted back and forth. Eventually, the employees had gotten a bit tired of this pattern and had decided to go with Jane's idea.

"Do I really have to do this?" Freddy asked as he tugged on the pirate hat he was wearing, dearly missing his trustworthy top hat, which was probably put into a bag somewhere backstage.

"If I'm doing it, then you are, too," Bonnie said as he patted his friend on the back. Freddy turned to give him a glare, clearly not amused. Chica let out a giggle.

"I don't know about you guys, but I really like my costume. This might be fun, too! I always found pirates intriguing."

"Ye' 'ave?" Foxy asked, tilting his head at her. "I thought cookin' intrigued ye'."

"Oh, it does," Chica said as she flattened her clothes a bit. "I just can't help but admire how awesome pirate's lives are!"

Foxy smirked before turning back to the curtain glancing through them, but kept himself hidden. The employees continued to run back and forth on the blocked stage, setting up several props for their show. The animatronics just stood there, unsure of where to go. They already had their dialogue memorized, so they didn't need any rehearsal.

"So...They decided to group us together," Bonnie commented as he fidgeted with the plastic sword on his belt. "I wonder why on Earth they'd want to do that."

"Well, maybe they just want to try something new," Chica shrugged. "I mean, I haven't tried this before, have you?"

"No," Bonnie shook in his response. "How 'bout you, Freddy?"

"No, and I'm not sure if I really want to, being honest," The bear animatronic responded as he looked to the floor. "I was really hoping to have sung 'Crust in My Heart' by now."

"Oh, come on," Bonnie rolled his eyes. "We can do that anytime. This, though? I doubt we'll be doing anything like this again for awhile."

"What really is this?" Freddy asked as he motioned towards the stage they were on. "I mean, we're just acting like pirates. We could've done that anytime!"

"Aye, but ye' don't have a stage for that, now do ye'?" Foxy asked, giving them a smirk. Freddy gave him a glare in response, making the pirate animatronic look away. An employee then approached them.

"3 Minutes 'til you perform, guys," He said as he checked something off from the clipboard he was holding. "Get into your positions, alright?"

"Got it~" Chica sang as she skipped onto the stage, stepping on her appropriate spot. Foxy gladly followed behind as Bonnie walked behind him rather slowly, Freddy staggering behind him. Once they got into their positions, they glanced at each other.

"Well, here we go," Chica said as she flattened her outfit once more. "I'm kind of nervous."

"Why would ye' be nervous, lass?" Foxy asked, looking back at her.

"Well...I'm afraid of making a mistake," Chica admitted as she rubbed her metal arm, giving him a sheepish smile. Bonnie scoffed.

"Chica, even if you make a slight one, no one will notice. All that matters is that we're making the children smile, right?"

"Right," Freddy nodded. "Their smiles are all we need to know that we have done our job correctly."

"True words spoken finely," Foxy nodded. They remained in their positions in silence until they heard the employees starting to shush the children. They then adjusted themselves, awaiting for one of the employees to start to explain what was going on.

It came quicker than expected.

The pizzeria managed to quiet down rather quickly, minus the sounds of the games. Waiters and waitresses took this opportunity to hurry to the kitchen to give the orders to the chefs, wanting the pizzas to come in as quickly as possible. One of the employees took one of the microphones and tested it, looking up to the crowd.

"Alright," He said as he stood in the front of the stage. He cleared his throat before saying, "My name is Andrew, and, as you may know, you have been directed here in order to view the animatronics. Well, today, we decided to gather a special performance just for you guys! Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica are going to join us in a special pirate adventure that awaits you all! How fun does that sound?"

Immediately, the crowd of children had burst into an applause followed by several cheers. Andrew chuckled.

"Throughout this adventure, you are going to be given plenty of opportunities to win prizes. This also includes plenty of interaction, since you guys play quite a big role in this. For children who do not wish to participate in any of these activities, feel free to stay seated throughout the performance, but you are free to answer any of the questions the animatronics may ask you. Just keep in mind that they are free to walk around you guys and speak to you, but in no way are they allowed to harm you."

The children blinked in confusion, but the adults remained attentive. Andrew continued:

"The emergency exits are to your left and to your right. They are to be accessible at all times, and we ask that you do not block them at any time during the show. Fire extinguishers are placed near the emergency exits, and are also to be accessible at all times. If any of the noises or animatronics bother you, feel free to exit the show at any time, but please try to not be of a disturbance. We ask that you do not interfere with the animatronics or step anywhere on the stage. We also ask that you do not throw anything at the stage, since it can distract the robots performing. But they'll return it to you upon your request. We do not hold any responsibility for any stolen personal items, or any harm that is a result of breaking the rules after our given warnings."

The adults then made themselves comfortable, satisfied with the given information. The children were too busy squirming or scooting closer, eager to see the animatronics. Andrew noticed this, and gave them sheepish smiles.

"So, without any further a do, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria would like to welcome you to: Pirate Foxy's Terrific Adventure! Enjoy!"

The children then cheered as some upgraded lights had suddenly came on and lit the stage. The curtains then rose, revealing the animatronics, whom were in their trademark poses. It took a minute or two until the children's cheers ceased, in which the animatronics had immediately gone to business.

"Ahoy lads n' lassies!" Foxy exclaimed as he stood at the edge of the stage, observing the audience before him. The children either applauded or waved to the animatronic fox, in which he had waved back. Some replied with a 'Hello Foxy!', in which he would be sure to acknowledge their presence. He then stepped back a bit.

"I be Foxy, the Cap'n of this here crew! And in me crew, I got Bonnie, Chica, and Freddy! Ye must be familiar with 'em, right?"

The children ended up cheering as they waved the animatronics behind Foxy, whom had smiled and waved back in excitement. The animatronic fox laughed.

"'Ol Foxy isn't usually one ta' brag, but I got me a feelin' that this show will be one of our best! Right, Freddy?"

"That's up for them to decide, Foxy," Freddy said as he motioned towards the audience.

"Really?" Foxy asked as he titled his metal head at the audience. "Why, these landlubbers must be very special if they get ta' decide on how we be runnin' the show!"

With that, the fox animatronic then stepped off the stage, resulting in some children to scoot away. Others scooted closer, and Foxy made sure not to step on any of them. He then walked through the crowds and the tables, observing everyone in the room.

"Uh, Foxy?" Bonnie asked, tilting his head. "What are you doing?"

"I be admirin' the audience, Bonnie!" He replied as he continued to walk by the tables. "Everyone here be lovely, they be! 'Specially ye', lass! I like yer' hair."

A girl blushed as he tugged at her pigtails, and Foxy chuckled before quickly sprinting back to the stage, minding the children and parents in his path. Once he got back on stage, he smiled.

"Today, we be goin' on an adventure, we be! An' this isn't a normal adventure, because it be involvin' brave pirates that are willin' to chug on pizza n' learn! How many of ye' are in that category?"

A large portion of the children raised their hands. The ones that didn't looked around nervously. Foxy chuckled.

"Well, if yer' not, then I suggest goin' to the games an' playin' if ye' aren't interested in participatin'! Or if ye' don't want ta' learn, which I suppose ye'll just have ta' face, anyway."

Chica then stood next to Foxy as she exclaimed, "Make sure to enjoy the pizzas during our adventure! Travelers do get quite hungry, don't they, Foxy?"

"Indeed they do, Chica," Foxy smiled. "I suggest goin' with cheese, since it be my favorite toppin', but ye' go with what ye' want."

"During our adventure, we'll also need your cooperation," Bonnie stated. Foxy nodded.

"We do be needin' that, we be! If none of ye' are willin' to answer th' questions, we be lackin' on our travelin'! And, the more we be lackin', the more loot we be' missin'! Which be remindin' me..."

Foxy then made his way towards a chest that was set in the corner. He opened it and rummaged through it before grabbing a handful of tokens. Once the children were able to see it, their eyes widened with interest.

"The loot we be carryin' be full of tickets, tokens, n' a lot of other booty!" Foxy commented as he then tossed the coins back in the chest. "We have plenty ta' give away, but we can only do that if ye' be listenin' n' paying attention ta' what we have ta' say."

"That's right," Freddy agreed. "We will be leading you through our adventure and will stop to ask questions. What the prize is only comes afterwards."

"Yep," Bonnie nodded. "You don't know what you can win!"

"The prizes range from free pizzas to thousands of tickets and tokens," Chica commented.

"Indeed they do!" Foxy said as he turned back to the audience. "But, gettin' to the adventure. We are goin' to do this by separatin' ye' into teams. How's 'bout that?"

The children then cheered, and Foxy smiled. He then directed, "If ye' be on my team, go on n' sit on the right direction of th' stage."

A large portion of the children sat down to the right. Another portion of the children stood, a bit unsure on where to go. Freddy spoke, "If you're on my team, sit on the left direction of the stage."

About half of the portion went to side on the left. Bonnie instructed, "If you're on my team, sit in the middle."

More than half the children went to sit in the middle. Chica said, "And if you're on mine, sit in the back!"

A smaller portion went in the back. Chica looked a bit affected, but Bonnie placed a metal hand on her shoulder, and she had smiled. Foxy ignored this as he exclaimed, "So let's get to it!"

Immediately, the audience cheered as they scooted closer, eager for the adventure. Some pirate-themed music had suddenly started to play through hidden speakers, appearing to occupy the silence of the room. Some extra upgraded lights that were put onto the ceiling had lit up, appearing to make a pattern shine onto the floor. The children laughed and smiled as their eyes lit up at the new colors of the lights. Since the room appeared much more dimmer, the lights that shone around the room seemed to bring most of the attention back on the stage, where most of the heated lights were shining as it is.

Foxy laughed, the music still playing in the background. He danced a bit on stage, rather impressively for an animatronic. The others smiled as they watched the Captain, joining in on the wild dance he performed. They all seemed excited, and it certainly brought up the energy contained in the room, what with all the flights flashing around.

Soon, before any of the children knew it, Foxy lightly jumped a bit on stage as he started singing:

"Hope ye lads n' lassies be ready
As we go n' travel the seven seas!
An' what will we bring with us?
Why, pizza filled with cheese!

An' it be best if ye' don't know
Where the show is gonna' go,
But all that matters, really,
Is ta' have fun an' be silly!

Now, I don't want ta' see ye' go,
So it'd be best for ye' ta' know
That we don't tolerate reckin',
Or the plank is where ye'll go!"

Foxy stopped singing, but the music still played. He then continued to dance, but had suddenly grabbed Chica's metal hand as he led her to the front of the stage. He let go as he stood at the side, holding his hooked hand with his metal one behind his back. Bonnie danced in the background as Freddy stood at the left side of the stage, watching Chica adjust herself in front of the audience.

She took the opportunity to continue the song:

"Everything you could ever desire
All starts with friendship and adventure
And with that, you'll always know,
That those bonds will always grow!
So long as we're with you~"

She then skipped over to Freddy and had lightly pushed him to the front. She ended up dancing with Bonnie just for background. Freddy adjusted his pirate hat before singing:

"Though we may be sailing,
We all know where our hearts are aching
Back to where things matter the most
Which include back at home
Way far off near the coast
So we can be with all of you!"

He then scooted backwards and pushed Bonnie to the front, whom stumbled, but regained his balance as he sung:

"Though we may fighting for what's true,
We all can get sick of seein' the blue
In which we know that the things we left behind
Will lead us back to you!"

The animatronics then grouped together as they sang:

"And since we all know what's true,
We can only say to you:
High hopes for us out on the blue!
So long as we're with you!"

With that, they then stepped away from each other as they bowed, resulting in a huge amount of cheers from the audience. Children screamed in delight as the adults rolled their eyes at the cheesy lyrics. The younger audience, of course, didn't mind, but the song had even gotten the author to cringe.

"Well, that was fun while it lasted," Bonnie commented as he got into his position onto the stage. "What do we do now, Cap'n Foxy?"

"Now we actually be startin' our adventure, we be," Foxy replied as he walked to the other side of the stage. "First we be needin' a plan ta' go somewhere. Where we be goin' is somethin' we all need ta' decide on together."

"Well, where is there to go?" Chica asked, tilting her metal head at the fox in confusion. Foxy, in response, smirked.

"Well, we be havin' some options ta' choose from, we do! But it isn't up ta' any one of us ta' choose, but of me crew!"

"And by crew, you mean all of ours?" Bonnie asked.

"Aye," Foxy responded, rolling his eyes. He then faced the audience as he said, "We be goin' to list some of the places we can explore! I want ye' all to vote where we go, alright?"

All the children nodded their heads, eager to interact with the story. One of the employees then walked up to the stage and handed a piece of paper to Foxy, whom had gladly took it and started reading.

"We be havin' quite some islands to be choosin' from, we be," Foxy commented as he studied the list. "'Ol Foxy will just list out the ones he isn't black spotted in, he will."

"Black spotted? What does THAT mean?" Chica asked as she turned to Freddy. The bear animatronic shrugged. They then looked to Bonnie, whom had also shrugged. Foxy laughed.

"Means I been marked for death! Not that I did anythin' wrong, but..."

Freddy gave the fox animatronic a blank look, in which the pirate nervously smiled as he faced the audience.

"Anyway, we be able ta' go ta' th' Cursed Island o' Rennard, Smitstake's Island, or th' Jungle o' Mary."

A sudden childish squeal came out from the crowd, and everyone turned their heads. A girl that was around the age of 7 blushed as she covered her mouth, giving everyone a sheepish smile. Foxy laughed.

"Mary, ye' didn't tell me ye' were in th' audience!"

The other animatronics blinked in confusion as they looked at the child. The rest of the adults and children gave her confused looks as well, a little lost. Mary blushed as she covered her face in embarrassment.

"Ye' know what?" Foxy asked as he glanced at his other animatronic friends. "Let's go to th' jungle. I promised lassie here I'd take 'er, but I never did. But I be thinkin' this be the day I do!"

"A promise?" Freddy's eyes widened in surprise. "Well, we can't go against that, can we?"

"Indeed we can't," Bonnie nodded.

"Well, I guess it's the jungle. Sorry everyone!" Chica said as she called out to the crowd. Some children groaned in response while others just sat, wondering where this will go. Foxy laughed.

"It ain't so bad, ye' know! Besides, I planned some o' this one meself. Ye' might just like it."

This had gotten some children to get intrigued, while others still groaned, a bit annoyed. No one complained, though, as the animatronics then switched their positions as the music in the speakers had changed. It seemed more fitting as background music, which was quite suitable for the situation going on.

The animatronics were moving the props on stage in various locations. Some looked like they didn't belong, and everyone watched in confusion. The employees continued to watch the animatronics, a few of them hopping on stage to help move some things. While they continued to move things with the background music going on, Foxy sat on a wooden box that was placed on the edge of the stage. He sat on it and stared at the audience for a few seconds. The animatronics and employees continued to move around behind him, changing the setting of the stage.

Foxy said, "While they be changing' th' stage, why don't we all talk for a bit? Like, say, what be yer' favorite thing 'bout the seas? Raise yer' hand, for I only got me two ears."

One child raised their hand, in which Foxy had called on them. They cleared their throat before saying, "Getting wet!"

"Ah, gettin' wet be enjoyable, it be," The pirate nodded as he adjusted himself on the box. "'Specially when 'tis hot. Happens a lot out on th' sea, actually."

Another child raised their hand, and Foxy called on them. The child exclaimed, "Fishies!"

"Ye' like fishin'?" Foxy asked. The child nodded, and the animatronic smirked. "Neat. Ye' must be a patient lassie."

Several children's hands went up, and Foxy had to take some time to call on them separately. As they listed their favorite things about the seas, the animatronics and employees had finished setting up the stage. Once they did, Foxy had stopped calling on the children and went off of the box, pushing that to the side.

The music still went on as the animatronics then explained what they were going to do in their "adventure". A lot of the children seemed intrigued and had stayed throughout the performance. They'd stop to ask questions, and would end up giving prizes away. Sometimes, they'd give hundreds of tickets for each member of each team. It only happened once throughout their performance, but it had certainly gotten the children eager to answer the questions correct and to pay attention.

The animatronics interacted a lot with the audience and of themselves. They'd end up breaking in song in certain parts of their adventure, and had done their best to make things seem realistic, hence most of the props being made out of cardboard. The animatronics would sometimes step off stage and walk through the audience members. Foxy seemed to do it the most, with him being well known for doing so. They would detect if their audience member was uncomfortable with their presence, and would leave them alone. They also didn't harm any of the members, as guaranteed in Andrew's speech before the performance.

And, when the day ended, a lot of the children ended up having most of the larger prizes from the stand. Through some breaks they'd have through their performance, some wise children would go and play the games and would try to win tickets through answering some of the questions. Everyone went home with at least a smile on their faces, and they all seemed in a positive mood. Even the parents who weren't fond of the animatronics were glad seeing their child so excited and happy.

Maybe the animatronics weren't so bad after all.

--

It turned out that "Pirate Foxy's Terrific Adventure!" had made it onto the newspaper the next day. Many reviews from parents and/or critics were included in the article, and most of them were very positive. Of course, some of the critiques included the props and of the setting, which were more in the low quality side, but the main focus was shifted onto the animatronics. They did their part quite well, which was stated among many of the entries.

With that said, Mr. Fazbear decided to add "Pirate Foxy's Terrific Adventure!" to the pizzeria's schedule. They'd be performing it on Mondays and Thursdays, and would be sure to give the animatronics space to run their own shows. They still included new things in them, but more focus was shifted onto their new-added event, in which the employees would discuss more ideas for the performance. The animatronics would add in their own, which the employees would figure out as the robots would perform it.

No one complained, though. Most of their ideas were very clever.

This dragged much attention on Mondays and Thursdays, and the kids were even more attached to the animatronics more than they ever were. They made sure that the audience's comfort was one of the top priorities, and would do their best to make sure that the people who were uncomfortable with the animatronics had their own necessary space. The animatronics wouldn't step in their side of the room as much, and wouldn't interact with them upon their request. This helped with their view of the audience, but made sure to not look at them any differently than they would to the children willing to interact with them.

They loved all children equally. It was just how they were programmed.

This added attention resulted in more profit. And, of course, more profit equaled more decorations. Most of the new money went into new foods being served on the menus. They still focused on pizza, but made sure to include more of a variety, just for people's tastes. They also added new deserts, in which the children seemed to adore after having their share of pizza.

The new decorations added were more onto Pirate Cove, since that was where "Pirate Foxy's Terrific Adventure!" would take place. They expanded the stage larger than it originally was, and had morphed it more into the shape of a ship. They still had decorations lining on it, but they seemed to paint and decorate it more of a ship. This resulted in more space being added onto the room, which would lead to more children being available to sit in. Foxy's normal show seemed a bit more empty, with him just being the only one on stage, but he had more to interact with and had much more space to walk around in. Especially considering Foxy's love of moving around a lot.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the pizzeria's new additions, foods, and animatronics. No one really questioned what direction the pizzeria was heading in because no one found the need to.

Because, after all, who would question the happiness of kids?
