A/N: Welcome one and all to an MPAS crossover with one of the most popular horror games on the internet today and has had several 'Let's Play' videos about it. 'Five Nights at Freddy's'. This is about Sherman at 16, getting a job in order to pay for something he wants, but becomes wrapped in the mystery of his new work place's history as well as the creepy robots inside it with him. So, enjoy!
Sherman walked in through the front door of the penthouse he lived in with his adopted father, Mr. Peabody. The redheaded sixteen-year-old wasn't wearing his work uniform from the restaurant he worked at as a waiter and he had a rectangular slip of paper in his hand.
"Oooooh" Sherman groaned in frustration as he landed backwards on the couch.
"Sherman? Is that you?" a voice called out. Mr. Peabody came into the living room to see his son with a sad look on his face lying down on the couch.
"Are there any other humans with flaming red hair and circular rimmed glasses you know?" asked Sherman in a tone that would tell some one to Screw Off.
"Sherman, what is wrong? I can tell something is wrong" Peabody asked.
"I got fired at work today" Sherman said after taking a deep breath and placing both hands on his face after slipping them in under his glasses.
"What happened?" asked the beagle as he sat next to his son on the couch and rubbed a paw through his only son's hair.
"This one family that looked like they lived in some poorly kept trailer park was at the table I was serving and the baby threw their bottle at the floor and it broke, making the floor slippery. And when I came to deliver the drinks, I slipped and fell, the drinks fell down on me and some of the glasses broke and cut me on the arms" Sherman explained raising his sweater sleeved up to reveal bandages wrapped around the cuts.
"Oh dear" Peabody said as he rubbed the bandaged areas gently but not even that was able to prevent Sherman from hissing in pain, which Peabody apologized for of course.
"And then what happened?" the beagle asked, trying to get his son to finish the rest of his story.
"The husband got mad and blamed be for being clumsy when he clearly saw the baby toss the bottle on the floor. I tried to explain my way out but he threatened to tell the manager on me" Sherman said continuing.
"The nerve of some people" Peabody said.
"Tell me about it" Sherman said with a groan before continuing once more.
"And then... I snapped at them and said to put a leash on that effing kid" Sherman said.
"You really...?" Peabody was about to ask but Sherman quickly confirmed it.
"Yes Mr. Peabody, I shouted the F-word out at them. And the manager saw and he fired me right on the spot" Sherman said in exhaust.
"And I take it this is your last paycheck?" asked Peabody taking the paper from his son's hands.
"Yeah. Now I gotta find a new job that has a just as good pay or else I can kiss that car goodbye" Sherman said getting up off the couch and getting a soda from the fridge in the kitchen.
"It's not the end of the world Sherman. Just because you got your license doesn't mean you have to have your car" Peabody said.
"Yeah it does" Sherman said giving his dad a 'Really Bro?' look.
"Sherman, you just lost your job, you need some time to detox for a little bit" Peabody said encouraging his son to wind himself down even though he was fired.
"Mr. Peabody, you know how much getting a car means to me. I'm one hundred dollars away from getting a car from a decent used car dealership. I can't give up, and certainly not now" Sherman said taking a sip of his Dr. Pepper.
"It's not going to kill you to take a small vacation. I'm not mad at you for losing your job, I'm mad at the guy who wouldn't keep a leash on his kid that caused you to spill the drinks and injure yourself" Peabody said with a paw on his son's shoulder.
"Most parents would act like the zombie apocalypse had just plagued our society if their teenager lost their job" Sherman said drinking some more soda.
"But not me, because I know it wasn't your fault and I understand why you lost your temper and snapped" Peabody said. Sherman smiled at this, he knew Peabody would always understand him forever as long as he lived.
"Thanks for understanding, pops" Sherman said. He sometimes liked to call the beagle 'Dad' or 'Pops' whenever he was happy about something.
"No problem at all, kiddo" Peabody said patting his son's back. Sherman then threw his empty soda can away after he was done finishing it and went straight to bed.
"Poor kid, he works so hard. Sometimes even harder than me" Peabody said to himself looking at the paycheck in his paws.
The Next Morning
Sherman emerged from his bedroom wearing nothing but a dark green T-shirt and black boxers and socks with green tips on the toes and on the heel.
"Good morning Sherman" Peabody said as he noticed his son enter the room with a red mug of coffee in one paw and the daily newspaper in the other.
"Morning dad" Sherman said while getting some coffee of his own and added some sugar and cream to it.
"Does your vacation mode have to involve you walking around the house in your underwear?" asked Peabody jokingly.
"Very funny" Sherman said sarcastically before taking a sip of coffee and sitting across the table from his father.
"Any plans for today?" the beagle asked.
"Probably see if Penny or Hayden wanna hang out. Since I'm jobless now I'd better find a good way to spend my unemployment time" Sherman said drinking some more coffee and saw something at the back of the paper Peabody was reading.
"Mr. Peabody, can I see that really quick?" asked Sherman. The dog just nodded and handed it to him and read what he saw on the back, a help wanted ad for a job that was looking to hire.
"Help Wanted: Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Family pizzeria looking for security guard to work the night shift. 12 am to 6 am. Monitor cameras, ensure safety of equipment and animatronic characters" Sherman read quietly to himself and smiled at what he saw next and read out loud.
"One hundred and twenty dollars a week!?" Sherman exclaimed. Peabody gagged after nearly choking on his coffee when he got startled from Sherman's shouting.
"Sherman, why are you shouting for God's sake?" asked the beagle smacking his lips after that.
"Mr. Peabody, I think I just found myself a new job already" Sherman said showing him the ad.
"I thought you were on vacation" Peabody said.
"Not anymore, I just struck luck. Solid gold luck. Besides, I'm just one week away from getting my car" Sherman said smiling and went over to the kitchen counter to get his iPhone 6 which was charging. As soon as he unplugged it, he walked back to the table and dialed the phone number on the ad.
"Are you sure, working six hours is pretty long, especially since you start at midnight" asked Peabody.
"Dad, listen. This job is gonna get me my car. Besides, if I like working the first week I work, I'll probably keep working there" Sherman said as he pressed 'Dial' on his phone and waited for someone to answer.
"Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, how may I help you?" asked a voice on the other line.
"Yes, my name is Sherman Peabody. I'm calling about the ad in the paper for the security job position, midnight to six" Sherman responded.
"Oh great! You're the first one to call about the job. We were starting to wonder if anyone would ever call. You've got the job" the voice said. Sherman was surprised.
"I-I-I am?" asked Sherman.
"Yeah, if you want the job that is" the person said in response.
"Of course I do, sir. I do want the job" Sherman said calmly, recovering from his excitement.
"Well alright then. You start Monday, does that sound fine?" asked the person on the other line.
"Monday sounds fine, and where can I pick up my uniform?" Sherman asked.
"No uniform required. You just need a belt with a gun, a key-ring, a flashlight and your badge attached to it. Since you're working the night shift, no one's really gonna care about your attire" said the person.
"Thank you for letting me know, sir" said Sherman.
"Anytime, Sherman. See you Monday" said the person.
"See you too, goodbye" said Sherman before hanging up.
"I got the job!" Sherman cheered over and over while dancing around the kitchen.
