Chapter Text

[The screen fades to show the ‘Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place’. The Mediocre Melodies are all sitting together, fire is visible in the background]

Mr.Hippo: (turns to face camera) Ah Hello there, my name is Mr.Hippo, these are my friends, Orville, Pig Patch, Happy Frog, and Neddbear. I suppose you’re probably wondering how we got here, well, it’s a long story.

Orville Elephant: Hippo, we don’t have time for a long story! In case you haven’t noticed, the building is on fire!

Mr.Hippo: oh, you’re correct Orville. Well, I suppose it’ll have to be a short story. You see, it all started…

Happy Frog: Wait wait wait! We’re performance animatronics! Why tell the story and be all boring (Mr.Hippo can be heard saying “I’m not boring” in the background), when we can add some pizazz!

Neddbear: All we have in terms of pizazz is your singing and Pig Patch’s banjo, and, I mean no offense, I don’t think banjo music is the best way to tell a story like this.

Rockstar Freddy: (Enters stage Right) We can help with that!

(The Rockstar Animatronics enter) 

Rockstar Freddy: actually, we’re gonna need a bit more-

Rockstar Chica: How about the ‘Posh Pizzeria Group’ ?

Rockstar Foxy: Those scallywags that think they’re better than everyone else?

Rockstar Chica: Well, they do make pretty good music! I mean, Music Man is a part of their group, and his name is literally Music Man .

Rockstar Bonnie: Chica has a point.

Rockstar Freddy: Yeah, I guess she does. Who’s gonna go find them?

Rockstar Foxy: Ay, I’ll be the one ta find them captain’ it be me duty as ta adventurer of ta group.

Rockstar Freddy: Alright, Foxy will go. Be safe, try not to die-

(Rockstar Foxy exits)

Mr.Hippo: Well, we can start when they return.

Orville: We need to start now if you want time to tell the whole story, we’re running out of time!

Mr.Hippo: I suppose, we’ll have to begin without them. Anyways, where should we start?

Happy Frog: You always say the beginning is the very best place to start.

Mr.Hippo: Yes, I do always say that. Well, let’s go back to the start, but who to focus on?

Rockstar Chica: Maybe Mr.Michael! He was important practically every step of the way!

Mr.Hippo: Ah yes, Michael Afton, son of William Afton and manager of this establishment. You’re right, he does have a major role in this story, perhaps even bigger than his father. Well, let’s get this show on the road I suppose.

Rockstar Freddy: And a one, and a two, and a one, two, three, four!

[Song: The Ballad Of Michael Afton]

Sung:

[Mr.Hippo:]

Once upon a time, many years ago

A boy named Micheal, didn’t know

That very soon, his life would end

[Silence]

Spoken: At least in the conventional sense

[Beat picks up]

Micheal was the top, the top of his class

He was a reckless kid, life passing by fast

His father was no family man, I think you should know

Often left Michael home all alone

But Michael had some siblings, they were young ones at that

(Happy Frog and Rockstar Chica: Elizabeth and Evan!)

Pulled out of a hat

Micheal played their babysitter, spent all of his days

Hanging out with his kid siblings, caught in a daze 

(Rockstar Chica and Happy frog: Boring!) 

Little did he know, his father was lost

All his sanity, it was all gone

His dad created murder robots, he didn’t expect

Elizabeth disobeyed, and she ended up dead

Micheal then got angry, a rage in his soul

He took it out on Evan, but he didn’t know

One day his pranks would go a bit to far

Fredbear took a bite, and that left a scar

(Rockstar Bonnie: Who needs a frontal lobe anyway?)

His father then went missing, what happened to him never said

(Rockstar Chica: At least not to Mike!)

But hallucinations of cruelty still reigned in Mike’s head

(Rockstar Chica and Happy Frog: What A nightmare!)

Oh too soon though, a letter he found

“Go to Circus Baby’s, deep underground”

The note was written by his father, long since off the map

Micheal didn’t know, he had fallen for a trap

Spoken Segment:

Happy Frog: What do you mean a trap?

Mr.Hippo: Well, down in Circus Baby’s the animatronics were restless, and they wanted a way to escape their underground prison.

Happy frog: what do you mean by that?

Pigpatch: Do you want to keep interrupting, or do you want to find out?

Sung:

Five nights, down there he spent

Little did he know, it was his life they would get

Lured to the scooper, what a gruesome show

Oh Micheals life, it had hit a new low

The amalgamation Ennard, it was hot in pursuit

It used Micheals bloody corpse as a human skinsuit

(Happy Frog: ew!)

Walking up and down the street, day after day

Micheals organless corpse, it was wasting away

His skin turning purple, his hair falling out

All his regular neighbors, they did scream and shout

Ennard left his body, it left him to die

But Micheal stood up again

(Happy Frog: ho-)

Don’t ask me why

(Happy Frog: oh ok-)

He brandished a bear mask, and he found himself a job

Came into work each day, his hours they were long

Did Micheal expect the flames, I don’t really know

But that song tells the tale of this show!

[Song end]
