Jeremy was a young man on his early 20's, he had moved from his parents house not much time ago, despite always being one of the best students of his class during high school, his family couldn't afford good college, then Jeremy decided to make his own money.

It was a Saturday, November 7th, 1987, Jeremy's new home, a small apartment, Jeremy was having breakfast while reading the newspaper, looking for a job, he suddenly saw an ad that made him really interested

"grand re-opening, vintage pizzeria given new life, help wanted" he read out loud, it was Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, the ad had an image of a new version of Freddy, Bonnie the Bunny and Chica the Chicken, Jeremy felt happy of seeing that pizzeria coming back to business

"I remember having a lot of fun there when I was a kid, when they still were the Fredbear Family diner" thought Jeremy, excited, he got a red pen and circled the ad, wanting to take the job.

Hours later, Jeremy had taken the bus to the pizzeria, the address was a new one, the building was totally different, before entering, Jeremy stopped to look at the logo of the pizzeria over the door, It was the new Freddy, smiling, with the words "Freddy Fazbear's" over his head in yellow and "Pizza" under it, in yellow, Jeremy smiled to see that, he had good memories of that place, his favorite character was Foxy

"yeah, everybody loved Foxy back then" he thought, suddenly a hand grabbed his shoulder

"excuse me, sir, why are you staring so much?" a man asked, Jeremy turned to him, surprised, seeing he had the purple uniform of the pizzeria

"oh, I'm sorry, I'm here for the job, Mr..."

"Smith, I'm Fritz Smith, head security guard from here, come with me, I'll take you to the manager, we didn't know that ad would interest someone so quickly..." said Fritz, guiding Jeremy

"why not? isn't the restaurant famous?" asked Jeremy, while they both walked through the restaurant, Jeremy saw the new animatronics singing, the kids appeared to like them

"well... yes, we are indeed famous, for... other things as well" stuttered Fritz, he looked like a nervous, insecure person, even thought Jeremy was curious to ask, he preferred not to, feeling like he was asking too much, the two men reached the manager's office

"hey, boss, this man came here asking for the job" said Fritz, the manager, who was at the phone made a gesture for Jeremy to sit down and for Fritz to leave, he left, and Jeremy sat down, nervous, what did he have to say? he had no idea, he hadn't prepared anything, a feeling that he wouldn't get the job passed through his mind, making his stomach hurts, the manager put down the phone, with a serious face, looking at Jeremy

"are you ok, sir? you're sweating" he asked

"I'm sorry, I'm nervous, my name is Jeremy Fitzgerald, sir" responded Jeremy, with a forced smile

"don't worry, Mr. Fitzgerald, this job is not hard to get, actually, you're hired" said the manager, Jeremy felt suddenly relieved

"wow, no interview, anything?" he joked

"well, even if we did make an interview, our other security guard just switched to day shift, I was talking to him right now, and I'm really not interested in putting Fritz in there" said the manager

"why not?" asked Jeremy

"because... that guy's a complete incompetent, he only got a job as head security guard because his father is the CEO, every time he gets a job here he ends up fired, but then his father gets his job back in a day or two" said the manager, joking on Fritz

"every time, sir? isn't the restaurant open for a week now?" asked Jeremy

"I was the manager at the old Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, so I know" responded the manager

"anyway, can you start this Sunday?" he asked

"this Sunday? you mean tomorrow? ok, I guess" responded Jeremy

"but if I'll only work tomorrow, who will take the night shift tonight?" asked Jeremy

"well, I have no choice but Fritz, he'll probably get fired, then we'll have to rehire him, and he'll brief you the rest of the week" responded the manager, Jeremy went back home, with his purple security guard uniform, happy of getting the job so easily, yet, he was curious about Fritz, he said that the pizzeria was famous for something else, what could that mean, Jeremy was also frustrated for not being able to see the new Foxy, he wondered how his favorite pirate fox was now, seeing how all the animatronics were changed to look like mimes, or clowns, or ventriloquist dummies, he was not sure

"I noticed that there's a new guy" Jeremy remembered, he saw the Balloon Boy giving balloons to the kids.

The next day, Jeremy went to his job, he arrived at the restaurant at 11 PM, and went to the security office to set up, checking all the stuff he had to use, there was a tablet to check the cameras, something extremely expensive and rare during the 80's, a flashlight, and what Jeremy thought the weirdest, a mask of the old Freddy Fazbear

"why is that here? why would Fritz bring this here?" asked Jeremy to himself, confused

"also, wasn't Fritz supposed to be here to the briefing?" thought Jeremy, even more confused, he decided to sit down and wait, his shift would only begin at 12 AM anyway, he waited
