Chapter 1: Not a so Warm Welcome

The Glamrocks and the daycare attendant were taken to the Parts and Services room by Vanessa, as she was going to introduce them to the new animatronic. All the animatronics were confused by the small animatronic's design, while Glamrock Freddy was coldly glaring at it.

Glamrock Freddy: Why...? Why the fuck is the thing child-sized and why does it have angel wings? What kind of sick joke is this?

Vanessa: ( with a tired expression: ) I don't know, Freddy. The CEO thought maybe a child-size animatronic might appeal to kids and programmed it with security protocols to help prevent what happened two years from happening again. Just let me turn it on, it's name is " Mim ".

Vanessa went to the computer, Sun and the other Glamrocks glanced at Freddy to see that he was still coldly glaring at the small animatronic.

( With Mim )

Mim opened their eyes to see that they were in some kind of room, they looked at their surroundings with confusion and slight fear as they saw the group of large animatronics standing outside of the dome they were in. They then saw two kids in front of them, a boy and a girl, the boy had pale skin and a bandaid on his cheek, spikey brown hair, and he was wearing a blue stripe with two light blue stripes and light brown shorts, and the girl had tan skin, amber eyes, short brown hair with short pigtails, wearing a button-up sweater, blue shorts, and a decorated bracelet on her left arm. The girl gave Mim a warm smile and wave " hello " at them.

Mim: ( is looking at the girl and the boy with a nervous smile: ) ( waves back ) H-Hello.

Mim flinched as they heard the wolf animatronic gasp, and they saw how the bigger animatronics were looking at them, they were looking at them with shock and they saw that there was a sadness in the wolf animatronic's eyes.

Mim watched in slight confusion as the wolf animatronic quickly opened the doors and went inside the dome.

Roxanne slowly approached to the small animatronic whose voice somehow sounded like Cassie's but at the same time it didn't.

Roxanne: ( Thoughts as she approaches Mim: ) It couldn't be... Could it? But how? She's-

Glamrock Freddy: ( warningly: ) Roxanne-

Roxanne: ( angrily, at Freddy: ) Shut it, Freddy! You're going to scare her!

Mim looked at Roxanne with slight confusion and worry as Roxanne approached them, they then glanced behind Roxanne, and saw that the two kids were giving Mim reassuring looks, Mim mentally nicknamed the two " Pigtails " and " Bandaid " as the girl spoke to them reassuringly.

" Pigtails ": It's okay. Roxy isn't going to hurt you.

Mim was hesitant, but they decided to trust Pigtails' words as Roxanne slowly picked them up and held them in her arms. Mim saw the sad looks that the other animatronics and the lady in the night guard uniform were giving Roxanne as she carried them out of the dome.

Roxanne: ( turns to Vanessa ) Where is she going to be staying at night, Vanessa?

Vanessa: Mim's room is currently under construction, so I will be finding a place to temporarily put them-

Roxanne: ( quickly: ) She can stay with me. I can show her the ropes while I'm at it as well.

Vanessa: ( tiredly: ) Uh, sure. Whatever. Anyway, gang meet Mim, Mim meet the gang, the bear is Glamrock Freddy, the wolf holding you is Roxanne Wolf, the gator is Montgomery Gator or Monty for short, the chicken is Glamrock Chica, and sun-head is Sundrop.

Sundrop: ( to Mim, happily: ) Hello! It's so nice to meet a new face!

Mim: ( mimics Sundrop's voice: ) " Hello! It's so nice to meet a new face! "

The Glamrocks and Sun looked at the small animatronic in Roxanne's arms in shock.

Vanessa: Right, I forgot to mention, they are programmed to mimic other people's voices, it's supposed to be some kind of party trick or something.

" Bandaid ": Who in their right mind would think mimicking voices would be a party trick? Definitely not someone that's sane.

Mim heard Pigtails giggle at Bandaid's statement.

Glamrock Freddy: ( a bit coldly while slightly glaring at Mim: ) Some party trick.

Roxanne saw that Freddy was coldly glaring at Mim and saw the fearful look in the small animatronic's eyes, making Roxanne glare at Freddy.

Roxanne: I'm taking the kid to my room.

Roxanne then walked out of Parts and Services with Mim in her arms before anyone could respond, she held the small animatronic close as they left Parts and Services and went into the plex's Atrium.

( A/n: Those who might be confused on what the Atrium is. This is it. )

Mim looked at their new surroundings in awe, causing Roxanne to smile slightly. Mim also saw that Pigtails and Bandaid had followed them.

Mim: Where am I?

Roxanne: Welcome to the Pizzaplex, Race Star. This is the Atrium. It's sorta like the gateway to all the attractions here. Mine is Roxy Raceway, the coolest one of them all. Let's get you to my room where you can be safe.

Mim: ( confused: ) Safe?

Roxanne: Well, we can't risk losing you, can we?

Roxanne then began making her way to Rockstar Row, and Mim was in awe the whole way as they were looking at all of their surroundings while Roxanne was still holding them close and protectively in her arms.

When they got to Roxanne's room door, Roxanne carefully and gently placed Mim on the ground, and she opened the door for them.

Mim walked in the room with curiosity, and they saw that Bandaid and Pigtails had followed her inside the room, Mim saw that Pigtails was looking at Roxanne with sadness in her eyes. Roxanne stood at the door, and she looked at Mim with a worried look in her eyes and a smile on her face.

Roxanne: ( To Mim: ) Okay, I'm going to go get you something, C- Mim. While I'm gone, I need you to stay here, okay?

Mim could tell by the look in Roxanne's eyes that Roxanne was worried about leaving them in the room, which confused them slightly but they quickly gave Roxanne a smile, calming the wolf's worry about leaving them alone in the room.

Mim: Okay, Roxanne. I'll wait here for you to come back.

Roxanne smiled sadly at Mim before she left and closed the door behind her.

Mim watched as Roxanne left, before they climbed onto the couch to sit down and they then turned to Bandaid and Pigtails and gave them a nervous smile.

Mim: Hello. I know that night guard lady already said my name, but... I'm Mim, what's your names?

"Pigtails": I'm C-

"Bandaid": You can call us whatever.

Pigtails turned to Bandaid with a slight worried and sad look, before she turned her attention back to Mim, who quickly decided to not try to push the two as they didn't want to risk upsetting the two.

Mim: Okay, I guess I can call you Pigtails and Bandaid, it's ( nervous chuckles ) what I was calling the both of you in my head. Are you guys having a party here?

"Bandaid": Not really... We sorta, kinda live here.

Mim: Huh? But that's against company protocol. Do the others know about this?

" Pigtails ": ( with a nervous smile: ) No, no! It's nothing like that. What " Bandaid " means is that we're... part of your programming!

Bandaid glanced at Pigtails, and she nudged his side slightly. Bandaid then turned his attention to Mim, and gave them a smile with slight nervousness in his eyes.

" Bandaid ": Hehe, yeah, that's what I meant. We were, uh, programmed into your head to help you with entertaining kids and security stuff.

Mim: Oh, so, no one else can see you two?

" Bandaid ": Uh, yep! We're sorta like imaginary friends or something.

Mim knew that the two were seemingly trying to hide the fact they were hiding something from them, but they decided to not push the two.

Mim: Well, okay. I guess that makes sense. ( Chuckles ) I wonder why I didn't know that right away when I woke up.

" Bandaid ": Maybe that Vanessa lady screw something up when she activated you.

Suddenly Roxanne opened the door and came into the room, she was holding a plate with a slice of carrot cake in her hand. She closed the door behind her before she walked to Mim and placed the plate on the coffee table in front of them.

Mim noticed the sadness in Pigtails' face in the corner of their eyes when Roxanne placed down the plate of carrot cake, Bandaid grabbed her hand to try to comfort her, Mim wanted to get off the couch to comfort Pigtails, but they knew that Roxanne might become worried about them if they did, so they stayed where they were.

Roxanne: Surprise, Race Star! I know animatronics can't eat, but I thought a slice of carrot cake might be a good way to celebrate your arrival, to make up the rude welcome Freddy gave you.

Mim: ( to Roxanne: ) That's really nice of you, Roxanne. Thank you. I didn't mean to upset him...

Roxanne then gently held Mim's hand with both of her hands, and gave them a smile.

Roxanne: Don't worry, Race Star. You didn't do anything, he just has been like that for awhile now. I'm sure he'll warm up to you, ( under her breath: ) if he knows what's good for him.

Mim looked at Roxanne in confusion as they didn't hear the last part of what Roxanne said, but they didn't ask her to repeat it.
