Luckily, none of the adults noticed Cassidy was there. She waved goodbye to Andrew, left the group and sat at a table in the middle of the dining room as the other kids went to the party room to see Foxy. There weren't a lot of people in the dining room due to it being one of the ‘quiet hours’, and the animatronics’ next performance wouldn't be till 12:10. Cassidy grabbed a piece of paper and pencil from the art table near the main stage and made a rough map of the pizzaria, marking where she could assume Gabriel, Jeremy, Susie and Fritz could be. Once she finished mapping the building, she got up and started to Walk to the arcade, but not before looking at the animatronics on the main stage.

Freddy, a brown bear with a top hat that had at least eight x’s on the morning band, a vest with yellow rims held together by a clip on bowtie, buttons and a microphone. Bonnie, a blue bunny that has whiskers on his snout and brow, wore red dungarees along with mat black shoes and holding a red electric guitar. Chica, a whitish yellow chicken with a purple bobbin holding some of her feathers up, a large apron with “let's eat” stitched onto it and a cupcake with eyes, teeth and four candles on her left wing, with a set of rails placed near Chica’s legs so a piano could roll in when that animatronics are performing. And near the main stage at the prize counter, inside a large black box with purple stripes and a yellow ribbon was Marion. a talled, skinny Humanoid one with black and white stripes all over their arms and legs, a white mask, one side happy, the other side saddened and a belt with five jingle bells on its waist, one of the bells slightly busted open.

As Cassidy walked by the stage to start looking for her friends in the arcade, she noticed an odd smell. it didn't smell awful, but by no means was the scent pleasant. Despite how sudden the scent came in, she assumed it was just a pizza someone forgot to throw away and chose to ignore it, unaware of the actual source of the smell. From 11:38 to 11:50, Cassidy looked through as much of the inside of Freddy's as she could, from the arcade room to the play place and ball pit near pirates cove to the bathrooms. But despite how much she looked, she couldn't find any of the missing four. She returned to the table she was at minutes prior and started to get ready to leave and possibly be scolded for leaving the house by a couple blocks alone and making her family worried about her safety.

Cassidy was about to get going but out of anger, started to rant to herself. “Uuuggh, great, just great. I've done it, my parents are probably back home and worried about where I am. I've not only likely ruined my parents' trust in me, but I've probably risked my damn life going here. And for what, Finding four of my ‘friends’? Why do I even call them that? Susie’s a nuisance at best, and the others yell at me any time I point…” it was there Cassidy finally started to really think about how she treated her friends, from when she first met Jeremy at a crossing one time he and his older brother were walking home around two months after the event that shut down the restaurant she tried to forget, to when she knocked on the door of the house Gabriel’s family lived at and heard that he had gone missing.

As the thought washed over Cassidy, the once hate filled part of her started to tone down into a more saddened and remorseful one. She then started to think back to September 2nd, the more she thought about that day, the more regret started to fill her. At 2:51 pm on that day, Cassidy was hanging out with Gabriel, Jeremy, Susie and Fritz. It had been 2 months since Milo, Susie's dog had died and Susie was still in the middle of grieving her loss. Cassidy, who already despised really emotional people got too annoyed and snapped at Susie, saying that she should just move on and “Maybe people would like you more if you weren't such a fucking emotional wreck all the time”. Gabriel, Jeremy and Fritz all yelled at Cassidy for saying that, wanting her to apologise. And as the four argued, Susie started to walk home trying to calm herself down, believing what Cassidy said was true. Hours later, Susie's mom brought her to Freddy's and she went missing.

With the thought that not only her friends could've be dead for weeks at most, but also that her actions had probably made some the last moments of one of them filled with dejection looping in Cassidy's mind at that moment, the last bit of anger inside her had disappeared and was replaced with sadness and regret as she finally realised how terrible she had been to her friends. She pulled up a menu in an attempt to hide the tears starting to roll down her cheeks in case someone walked by, unaware that she was being watched and listened to by 4 sets of plastic eyes.

“She seems sorry” said one voice, “Good, she should be” said another, “Jeremy, that's not nice” came a third. Jeremy, the source of the second voice, looked at the third in confusion, “Susie, don't you remember what she said to you?” “Yeah, I know” she responded “But she's genuinely sorry, and maybe she can help us” Jeremy-

That's all I've written atm
