Chapter One: Ben and Charlie


"Come on mom!" Ben complained to his mom.

"No means no, Ben." She said in a forced calm voice, only slightly annoyed. Ben let out a short huff. It wasn't fair, he was finally able to go to the one and only Freddy Fazbear's pizza place, only to have to take his little sister as compensation.

"If it was the other way, Ben, you would want to go with her too." His mother pointed out. Ben crossed his arms in obvious defeat. She was right, but it didn't help his case.

"Nothing you say can get you out of it, son" His dad said.

His mother glanced at her husband, then back at Ben "I think it will be a great bonding experience, and you two can have fun without the worry of me and your father." She said with a twang of sarcasm.

"You'll still be there" Ben retorted back at her, "Just not directly."

His father huffed "We will just be in a different room, but we'll still be there, ok?"

"I still-" Ben started, but an annoyed look from his mother had finished the conversation.

"Ok, you and your sister will have fun, trust me! You'll never want to leave!" His mother said to lighten the mood. "Im sure…" Ben replied.

His little sister skipped into the room, she had a smile as bright as the moon. "Hi big bro!" She said in a cheery voice. "Im so excited I get to come with you to your birthday party Benny!" She said. Ben smiled at her, bright pink eyes blinking at him.

"I'm.. sure you'll have a good time with Benny, right Charlie?" His father put in, puffing a ring of smoke on his cigar.

"Alright, alright, its time to go to bed." Their mother said a sweet-yet-still-stern voice, the one you can't help but love and fear. "Yes ma'am!" They both sounded off. "Charlie, Ben, Good night, and-" their mother started

"Don't let the monster in your closet get while you sleep" Ben giggled to himself. Charlie put her hands up her mouth "Oh no! What monster!?" She said, Ben snickered to himself. "Ben!" Ben's mom said giving him a stern look. Ben just shoved it off, walking to his bedroom.


Charlie got out of bed, looking over at her closet door. "Oh! Ben never stops picking on me!" She said to herself, walking over to the closet door to change into her day clothes. After she picked them out, she put them on and looked into the mirror. She smiled at herself, her pink eyes seemingly glowing, due to a mutating in her genes; she liked her eyes, for she knew they were very unique to her, not anyone can boast pink irises. She wore a yellow shirt with a picture of a duck on it, and jeans and yellow sneakers. :"I cant wait to see Chica for the first time!" She muttered to herself.

Ben woke up in his bed, his hair in quite the state. Two different parts stuck up from his head in an odd fashion. His hair was long, for he hates getting haircuts, so it hangs down by his upper back. It was black, unlike his sister who had bright blonde hair. Walked to the bathroom to rub water on his face, his maroon eyes shining in the bathroom. He saw his hair, and laughed at himself. "I look like a rabbit with this bedhead!" Ben said as he worked out the knots. He got dressed, whatever he could find on the floor or the dresser -He wasn't as neat as Charlie when it came to… anything- and found his favorite purple shirt. "This might work" He muttered, just eager to get going.


Ben and Charlie arrived at the pizza place at 12:00 PM, lunchtime. "Alright, you guys ready?" His dad said with a happy expression.

"Lets hop to it!" Ben said "I should open the door, since im 12 now!"

"Hey! Your only 2 years older than me, Ben! And you know the old saying! Ladies first!"

"Hey! I said I get to open the door, Charlie!"

"Oh well, maybe next year!" they continued back and forth for a few minutes.

Ben and Charlie's parents looked at each other, sighing. "Im just glad we get a break from kids today" their dad said to his wife,

"Oh I know what you mean" their mom said, "We can sit in the lobby while we catch up with the other parents are here, I haven't seen Kelsie in SO long!"

Their dad rolled his eyes "You didn't come here just to gab with your friends, did you?" their mom only gave him a sly smile, turning her back to him and walking up to the front door.

"Alright you two! Follow the rules on that poster! If you need anything, come in here and we'll help you, oh and Ben, don't let our sister out of your sight." Their mom said, eager to get them into the pizzeria already.

"Yeah yeah, mom, I got it! Can we go now?" Ben asked, his mood and tone eager to get in there.

"Yeah mom, I'll watch Ben for you! Don't worry about him!" Charlie said, giving a wicked-yet-sweet-looking-to-mom smile. Ben muttered something, and Charile looked at him when she heard him."I heard that Ben"

"No you didn't! You're just crazy"

"What? If anyone is crazy, its you!"

"Don't make me laugh Charlie!" They argued back and forth for a few minutes.

"Alright! Get in there already!" Their mom was out of patience.

Charlie seemed worried, and Ben took advantage of that to rush in and start the party. "Hey Ben wait up!" Charlie called after him.


Ben and Charlie found a table, and sat at it. "Come on Ben! I'm starving!" Charlie complained.

"Ugh you always do this! As soon as we do something, it's "I'm hungry big brother" i'm sick of it!" Ben retorted. Charlie just giggled, then called the waitress.

She walked over to them "What do you want to eat, you two?"

Before Ben could even think, Charlie yelled. "The Chica Special!"

"Alright, I'll be back in a bit." The waitress said, walking away, to where Ben guessed was the Kitchen.

Ben turned to Charlie "Aww come on Charlie, I didn't even get to ask for something!" Charlie just giggled

"First come, First served." She retorted with a matter-of-fact tone. Ben wasn't amused.

Ben and Charlie started to watch the band play, Charlie was mesmerized by the pizza, and Ben listened to the music with an open mind, remembering the song well. "This song played on the radio, yesterday I think, right Charlie?" Ben stated.

Charlie looked up, setting down her pizza "Oh yeah, this is one of those real songs they play instead of the cute little ones they play for the younger kids… ,I think this is your favorite song, right Ben?" Charlie said with a grin

"Yeah, it is, and how is the pizza? You seemed pretty sure about what you were going to get" Ben said.

"Yeah, I heard some of the other girls at school tell me it was good!" The two talked, ate pizza, and listen to the songs the band played. They were always like this, they would fight one minute, and the next they were best friends; such is the way for them, as they were they only true friends they had. Charlie never told Ben, but she was always picked at during school. The "other girls" she had mentioned, told her that she would like it, because they always said she was fat.

In truth, Charlie wasn't really fat, only a bit pudgy, but it didn't matter. She couldn't stand up for herself, even if she was the skinniest girl there, she would still be picked on. Ben, also, wasn't clean of bullying. They never told the other about their problems, though, they kept their demons to theirselves, not wanting to burden the other.

"Hello?" A voice sounded out near them. They zoned back to reality from their conversation, looking over to see a larger boy (I Mean width-wise), around the same age as Ben, with a younger boy standing behind him, looking up at them. "Could we sit with you? We're trying to make new friends!" The boy asked.

Charlie smiled, and Ben knew what she was about to say "Of course you can sit with us!" She shifted to the seat next to Ben, while the other two boy's sat in the seat across from them.

"So" Ben started "What are your names?"
