#trashyswitch

Vanessa ran down the hallway of the Pizzaplex.

"Where are you twerps?!"

Violet and Pocket ran down the hall, giggling to themselves. They'd snuck into the Pizzaplex to see the cool stuff after hours. This was not technically allowed, but they'd pretended to have left when they were actually hiding. So they were still seen as guests.

It was strange. What were two grown women doing playing this silly game? Vanessa wondered. Couldn't they have just come back the next day to play with the animatronics? Why did they have to make her life harder?!

Vanessa chased the girls all the way to the Daycare. Why would they go to the Daycare? They didn't even have any kids.

She peered down the slide and groaned. She'd have to do the fun slide.

It was oddly nostalgic as she slid down, and she felt a feeling she didn't feel in a long time. It was fleeting but there was something there. A nice memory of innocence.

Landing in the slew of colourful balls, Vanessa sputtered.

The Daycare Attendant made his entrance and dove into the ballpit. He swam through the balls and picked up Vanessa.

"Oh! It's good to see you again, dear friend! Want to come play?" He said with a light giggle.

"I can't!" Vanessa said. "I'm on duty."

"Haha, you said duty!" Sun giggled. "Hoohoohoo!"

Vanessa deadpanned. "Uh. Y-yeah…"

Sun put her down and scratched his head.

"So what are you doing here? Are you looking for someone?"

"Uh, two someones actually…"

"Great!! Do you think we can all play with googly eyes and glitter glue, and play hide and seek in the ball pit until something comes out and scratches our eyes out?! I mean-!"

Vanessa rolled her eyes. "Yeah, whatever."

Sun clapped his hands and danced in place. "Oh hooray!!"

He led Vanessa through the Daycare area and showed her through the area.

"Here's the fun tubes! They might be in there… Or uh, hm… If they want to see me, they've probably found a way to get up on stage."

Vanessa took a small gander at the area. She could climb through all the tubes, but it would be exhausting. And if it was exhausting for her, surely it would be for the women as well? Especially since one of them was older than her.

She looked up at the stage area. She supposed she'd start there.

"Uh, can you stay here for a second? Just in case the girls are in the tubes and come out."

Sun nodded excitedly. "Oh boy!! Hoohoohoo! I can't wait to meet my new friends!"

…

Vanessa had managed to climb all the way to the stage area and looked through it. It was more messy than she expected. There was no one to be found here, though. Just a couple of dead security bots. She shook her head. Then that meant they were in the tubes!

She looked out over the stage area, but her foot had gotten caught on a "Happy Birthday Pocket!" banner, and she slipped. Now she was dangling over the edge of the stage.

"Ack! Sun!! Hey, Sun! Help me!" She cried.

Sun looked over to her and saw her in trouble. "Oh no! Just a second. I'm coming!!"

He skipped over to her and thought about how to get her down. He couldn't reach her from down here. Maybe he could use a tool and have her grab onto it? He nodded. That's what he'd do!

Meanwhile, Violet and Pocket were watching from the tubes. They giggled to themselves. No way was Sun actually there! They saw Sun talking to Vanessa, and then something happened and Sun was pacing around in circles wondering what to do.

"Uhh, something's wrong." Violet said.

"Yeah," Pocket replied. "I uh, think Vanessa's in trouble."

They felt guilty for what they were putting Vanessa through. Honestly, they'd only wanted to have some last-minute fun in the Pizzaplex after the party was over.

"What should we do?" Violet wondered.

"Let's first see what's going on," Pocket said, and crawled through the tube, wondering about the situation. They crawled until they found a bubble they could effectively use to peek at the situation.

…

Vanessa had wiggled so much, her shirt had come loose from her pants and started to ride up to expose her belly. Usually she'd find this embarrassing but she didn't really care at the moment. Her main worry was with getting down.

Sun was trying to get Vanessa down, but seemed a little naive in his methods. First he used a broom, which he told her to grab and have him pull her down. She objected, saying the force of the pull would make her fall on her face. Sun thought it over and conceded it was a bad idea. So next he grabbed a feather duster because it was softer. He told Vanessa to hold onto it. She shrieked with indignation, and then she shrieked when he tickled her exposed belly with it.

"Sorry!" Sun said, blushing. "Um… The idea worked better in my head…"

She rolled her eyes, and crossed her arms over her stomach. "What's your next idea…?"

Sun paced around the room, trying to think. He could think of nothing, which frustrated him, so he paced more to try and think harder.

That was when there was a sudden power outage, and the pizzeria went dark.

…

"…Naughty, naughty!" Came a devilishly menacing voice.

It was Moon. Whenever it got dark, Sun would retreat, and the Moon side of the Daycare Attendant would come out.

"It's past your bedtime!" He said, looking up into the tunnels. Violet and Pocket felt a chill run through them. Moon giggled again, sneaking off into the darkness.

He found Vanessa, still dangling from the banner on stage.

"My my… What's this…?"

She struggled in the banner some more, but felt trapped. What could Moon do? Maybe it was a better idea to freeze and pretend you're not here.

Moon looked around, his eyes glowing red. He strapped the hook on his back as he floated around the room.

"I think I hear somebody… Are they crawling around in the tubes…? Hoohoohoo…" He listened close, and could hear some faint breathing. "I think I do!! And you know what has to happen!" He swung around and looked for the girls. Looking at the tubes closely, he found them sitting in the bubble, daring not to move. "Found you…!!"

Suddenly a blinding light came from behind them and sent Moon screeching away. Still swinging on his cord, he glided to a safe place.

"W-what was that?" Violet asked. Pocket shrugged.

The girls turned around to see what caused the flash of light that had saved them. Holding a flashlight, it was a man who looked about 40. He had light brown hair, an average height and deep blue eyes. He wore a purple turtleneck and blue jeans with black work shoes.

"Follow me!" He said.

The girls looked back puzzled. Why should they follow this random man? It could be a trap.

He shook his head.

"No time to explain!! The animatronics are vicious tonight!!" He said, glaring at the Moon animatronic. The girls nodded and followed the man. He seemed shaken by something, but he seemed to know what he was doing.

…

Meanwhile, Moon was looking for Vanessa. She was still stuck. He wondered if he could help in some way.

Yes, Moon was programmed to be a menace, but if someone was really in danger, he would have to help.

He found Vanessa with his night vision. Looking her up and down he hummed. Vanessa seemed to not notice him up until now and squealed in surprise.

"M-moon?!"

"Nyehehe! Yes!" He wiggled his fingers. "I'm gonna get you!! Hehe! … But first, I need to get you down."

Vanessa blinked. Then she struggled.

"Careful, there! Uh, you don't want to fall." Moon hesitantly reached out. "Uhm… Can I uh, grab onto your sides?"

She felt her face flush. Surely this animatronic, who had a reputation for scaring kids sleepless wasn't being a gentleman right now?

"Um… g-go right ahead!" She said, trying to sound confident.

Moon held her sides carefully. She squealed.

"H-hehey! Stahahaahaap!" She shook her head. "I'm ticklish!"

Chuckling, Moon tried to find a more comfortable way to hold her. Squeezing her hips also got her laughing.

"Hahaahahahahahahaaaahaaa! Mooohoohoohooon!" She cried, wiggling back and forth. She looked so silly. Moon tsked and shook his head. He tried holding onto her lower ribs, but they were also ticklish. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAA!! STOHOHOHOP!"

He let go, and then giggled to himself.

"You know… I could make this fun for both of us! If you know what I mean!" Moon chuckled.

Vanessa went silent. She just hung there by her ankle, unsure of anything right now. Picking up on this, Moon tipped his head. He couldn't read her mind, but he could ask questions and try to be nice.

"If you don't want that, of course! I'll get you down." Moon said with an awkward chuckle.

"Uh…" Vanessa didn't know what to think at this point. "You know what? Heh. S-sure. You can tickle me! But don't tell Afton I allowed it!"

Moon chuckled and wiggled his fingers again. "Of course not!"

There was a loud squeal from Vanessa as Moon tickled her sides again, this time with purpose.

"EEHEEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEE!"

…

Michael heard a distant scream from someone. He stopped to reevaluate the situation.

There were two women with him now. If there was another who needed help, he'd have to go back for her. He was breathing heavily from the running he'd been doing. Ever since that animatronic had come to his office with that strange machine - a time machine? - there had been nothing but trouble. He'd been openly hostile to it, telling it to get out and wondering what it was doing here. It had been before the beginning of Michael's sixth night. Animatronics had taken everything from him, so why should he hold back?

Then he saw the animatronic falter.

It was a tall lanky sun animatronic, humanoid, yet still creepy-looking. Yet when he saw that touch of innocence he felt a hint of pity. Maybe it was wrong of him to lash out. After all, this animatronic hadn't done anything to hurt him.

He'd talked to it more calmly and wondered what it was doing here.

And the animatronic had said he was looking for a friend. It was a fun and happy jester kind of animatronic. His brother and sister would have loved it. The man on the phone would have loved it. Michael wasn't sure how he felt about it, but he decided he may as well help it. Before his nightshift, he'd panicked when he heard the sound of a bell. He'd gone to hide in the time machine, and Sun - the animatronic's name - had gone with him. They were back here in a flash. Michael had looked around the pizzaplex but was still unsure where "here" was.

"So uh… Who was that? The woman who screamed just now?" Michael said. Now standing to face them, it was apparent that there was a gold chain link hanging down from Michael's shirt pocket. He looked rather serious, so now wasn't the time to ask.

"Vanessa… the Security Guard." Pocket said. Violet looked away sheepishly. It was because of her birthday party that Vanessa was probably in trouble right now.

"Yeah… We were being kind of sneaky because we wanted to see the animatronics," Violet explained. "And uh, yeah… Vanessa chased us through the Daycare because she was probably worried about us."

"It's her job," Michael pointed out. Then he gave the woman a second glance. "But yeah, probably that too. Uh, what was your name again?"

"Violet," she said meekly. "And this is my friend Pocket!"

Michael waved at them.

"Violet…" He said, seeming to recall something. Slowly, he reached into his pocket to pull out the object the gold chain link was attached to. "You wouldn't happen to be this Violet, would you…?"

…

Vanessa was wondering if this was really worth it. Nothing had gone right for her and she'd been starting to doubt that being a security guard was a good idea.

That was, until Moon had taken her mind off it.

"HAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHA! MOOHOOHOOON! NOT THEREHEHE!!" She cried, wiggling around as he targeted her stomach.

He was using the feather duster Sun had dropped a while back. Swishing it back and forth and around in circles, he was completely wrecking her. The feathers made her entire tummy sensitive, and sometimes a feather would swirl inside her belly button.

"HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAAHA! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE!" She shrieked as he spun the duster around.

"Hmm, isn't it strange that the others mostly target your feet?" Moon said thoughtfully. He seemed to be barely paying attention. It was true that sometimes when Vanessa got trapped in some way, the bots would sometimes take her shoes off and tickle her feet. She didn't know why they did that - maybe a glitch in the programming? - but she didn't seem to mind too much. At least it got her mind off her worries. Moon hummed, putting his free hand to his chin. "You're plenty ticklish in other places though!" He snickered. Vanessa's face was flushed and he wasn't sure if she'd heard him. But it was fun to tease her nonetheless. "What's your favourite place to be tickled?"

He gave her a short break to let her catch her breath. She breathed heavily, hanging there limp. Her belly was flushed, almost as pink as her face. She thought she'd dreamed of him asking her something, but then he shook her head as the question settled in.

"I…" She hesitated. If she told him anything she'd be worse off than if she didn't… probably. "I- I- d-don't have a favourite place," she replied between breaths. "Punk."

"Really…?" Moon said with a chuckle. "Hmm…" He looked at her curiously, wondering if she was telling the truth. "Are you sure…? Because I can tell when someone's being a sassy little liar…!" He teased, with his iconic grin. Vanessa squirmed.

"I-I…" She went speechless, uncertain. She let Moon make the first move.

"I've tickled quite a few sassy little liars…!" He chuckled. "Most were kids, some were other security guards~!" He giggled as his head spun around. "All of them were very, very ticklish!"

Vanessa chuckled, both in amusement and in nervousness. Moon continued.

"The spot most of them couldn't stand… it was right here." He said softly, tracing his finger along her spine, sending ticklish shivers all throughout her.

"Heheheheheeheheheee!" She couldn't help laugh. Her spine was one of her worst spots, perhaps even worse than her feet. "Plehehehehehehheease!"

Moon stopped, pulling his finger away.

"Or was it here?"

He traced his finger along the sides and back of her neck, causing her to scrunch up her shoulders.

"Perhaps it was here…?"

Gently, he traced circles in her armpits, causing a squeal.

"Or here…??"

He saw her exposed stomach, and made a 'boop!' sound as he poked her belly button.

"Eeeheeheheeheee!" She shrieked, wiggling in place. The banner holding her ankle looked like it was coming loose. Moon noticed. He supported her shoulderblades with one arm, and prepared to catch her. He wiggled a finger in her belly button. She squealed and wiggled more, feeling her ankle come loose from the banner. She felt her heart catch in her throat, and then she felt Moon catch her, holding her bridal style. She breathed heavily and held on to Moon as they were both swinging in the air. She was safe.

…

Michael held out the object attached to the gold chain. It was a heart shaped locket.

Inside the locket was a photo of a beautiful man with a beautiful woman. They both had golden hair. The man had square glasses and blue eyes. The woman had green eyes. The words "Scott & Violet for ever" were etched on the outside.

Violet held out her hands, unsure.

"W-where did you find this…?"

Sighing, Michael cast his gaze downwards.

"The office…"

He too, seemed sorrowful. The office where he'd worked at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The one where guards were lucky to survive until their third day. The one where a man who painfully reminded him of family had met his end.

"It was uh… next to the phone." He said. Violet undid the link and put the locket around her neck. Pocket helped her with putting it on. "I'm so sorry…"

She nodded. She was silent. What could she say? Holding the locket, she smiled at the picture inside. Then she closed it and held it close to her heart. After a moment, she spoke.

"T-thank you."

Michael nodded. He let her feel sentimental for a bit. The locket had been a reminder that the guards who get slain here have loved ones too. And maybe, one day, he could have someone who loved him like that too.

There was another scream, and Michael broke out of his thoughts.

"We have to go."

…

They arrived at the scene of Moon holding Vanessa in his arms and swinging around the daycare. He hadn't noticed Michael and the others. Carefully, he swung down and set Vanessa on the ground safely.

"There you go!" He said with a wide grin.

Vanessa smiled back and nodded.

Michael and the others ran over.

"Ma'am! Are you okay?" He checked Vanessa over, wanting to make sure she was alright. Her face was flushed, but aside from that and an untucked uniform, she seemed fine.

"Y-yeah," she said with a slight giggle. Instinctively she held her stomach, and she watched the Moon animatronic float through the air.

"He didn't harm you?"

She shook her head.

Just then, the power came back on in the Daycare. Moon screeched, and turned back into Sun.

"That's strange… I heard he was a threat," Michael said.

"Well, m-maybe when he's not in… that mode." Vanessa said, face flushed.

Michael looked around on the ground and found some candy.

"Huh? What are these?"

The candies said, "Moon drops."

Vanessa interjected.

"They're for kids, to help them sleep."

Michael blinked.

"Okay…" He decided to just accept it. The future was weird enough.

Then he found another bunch of candy scattered about.

"Oh. These ones are sun drops…"

"They help the kids get more energetic."

"I see." Michael said. He should have figured.

On the table was a bunch of different candies. The mascot was something that looked like an amalgamation of Sun and Moon. "Eclipsed."

"W-what are those ones?"

"Oh. T-those are experimental. When kids are feeling too anxious, it helps calm the nerves. However, the side effects can be that it also stops you from being ticklish. Sounds great, right?" She chuckled with a blush. "But it can be bad when the nerve stopping formula goes as far as the kids not reacting to a serious injury."

Michael's thought of a cunning plan. He grabbed a handful of them and stuffed them in his pocket. Then he unwrapped one and ate it. Vanessa recoiled.

"You're serious?!"

Then Michael grinned.

"What? I'll need them for my job."
