Daddy isn't watching.

"Welcome back to your last day on the job. This is it, the last day of your first week. Some of the most valued qualities that we like to see in new employees are determination, fearlessness, and a genuine disregard for instinctive self-preservation."

"Sure have that last one," Dee remarked.

"You've earned your one week bonus which will be given to you in the form of a delightful gift basket, the cost of which will be taken out of your next paycheck. We have gift baskets containing fruit, nuts, flowers, and of course, the ever-popular cash basket. Using the keypad below, please enter the first few letters of the gift basket you would like to receive."

"I'd like that cash basket please, even though it'll be taken from my paycheck anyway..."

"It seems you had some trouble with the keypad."

"As always."

"I see what you were trying to type, and I will autocorrect it for you."

"Will you now?"

"Thank you for selecting Exotic Butters."

"Exotic butters?!" Dee repeated. "That'll be interesting to see."

"Please be aware that there are still two technicians on site today. Try to avoid interfering with their work, if possible. Also, feel free to ask them why they are still there, and encourage them to go home."

"I have a bad feeling about this," Dee mumbled.

"Let's check on Host, and make sure he's on his stage," instructed Google after Dee had made his way to the control module.

Dee noticed that the clown mask above the fan was missing.

Dee pressed the light button.

"Oh my god..."

It was the body of one of the technicians, hanged. Dee couldn't tell which, as he could only see the outline. But, whoever it was, was very dead.

"Great. Now, let's check on Marvin."

Pressing the light button, Dee saw the other technician who had suffered the same fate as the first. Dee felt like vomiting.

"Great. It looks like everything is as it should be in Funtime Auditorium. Your task today will involve more maintenance work. Circus Baby had a rough day, and is in need of repair. You will be required to reach the Parts & Service room by once again sneaking through Funtime Auditorium. As always, please proceed with caution."

Dee made his way through Funtime Auditorium. No Marvin. He still felt sick. This place was seriously messed up.

"Great job reaching Parts & Service."

Baby was lying lifelessly on a conveyor belt. Dee realized that he had never seen Baby the whole time he was working there. Of course, he had seen the robot before. She had short red hair, a white shirt with a blue color, and a red scarf-type thing hanging from the color. She had rosy red cheeks, like all of the other funtimes. She also had a blue skirt and tall white socks with black boots.

It made Dee sick looking at this robot. It looked so much like his little brother. Not Erik, his other little brother. The first and only day he saw Baby in person was the last day he saw his poor little brother.

"Circus Baby has been deactivated for an unknown reason. It's your job to make sure she's structurally stable and secured to the conveyor. Our technicians will take it from ther-"

"Can you hear me?" Baby asked. "I'm pretending. Remember how I said I could pretend? The cameras are watching. I must be careful not to move. Something bad happened yesterday. Something bad always happens. I don't want it to happen again. There is something bad... inside of me! I'm broken. I can't be fixed. I'm going to be taken to the scooping room soon, but it's not going to fix what's wrong with me. What is bad is always left behind. Will you help me?"

Dee nodded. That's why he came to this place, after all. To help them all.

"I want you to save what is good, so the rest can be destroyed and never recovered. But you must be careful. Host is here. In the room, with us."

Dee felt chills go up his spine. He looked around anxiously.

"Host will not return to his stage. Host will not return to his body. You must be careful. You must remain calm, and listen to my voice."

Dee nodded once again. "Okay."

"There is a button on my cheek. You must find it and press it."

Dee found it and pressed it.

"There is a passcode that you must enter before you can retrieve me. Enter the code carefully. 1. 2. 1. 4. 7. 5. 8. 2. 3. 7."

After each number, Dee pressed the corresponding button on the keypad.

"Good. A hatch should have opened. Take the card that you find inside."

Dee picked up the card.

"Now you must turn back. I will guide you through Funtime Auditorium so you can reach the scooping room. When you are there, I want you to destroy this body."

"What?! Won't that destroy you?!" Dee protested.

"Put the card into your handheld device, and I can continue to speak to you. Now, press the green button to your left. This will send me to the scooping room."

Dee, like any other time in his life, didn't have a choice. He pressed the button.

"You must follow my instructions in Funtime Auditorium. Host is going to follow you. He will try to catch you. I will help you avoid him. He will not follow you inside the scooping room; he is afraid. Go back now."

"Why is he afraid?" Dee murmured. "Should I be?"

Dee re-entered Funtime Auditorium.

"Go forward... Stop. Go forward and left... Keep going... Stop. Be silent. Go forward and left... Stop. Go forward. You are almost there... Stop. He is right in front of you. Don't move."

Dee started breathing heavy. He hated not seeing in the pitch black room.

"He is here to help, Host. He is not here to hurt us. Host, he is here to help us... Go forward again. Host is behind you. He is afraid of the scooping room; he will not follow you."

"I really don't like this scooping room..." Dee whispered.

"Warning: You've entered a highly dangerous area," Google announced. "You have entered from Maintenance Hatch 1B, reserved for cleaning and repair of the scooper. Entering this side of the room is strictly prohibited by unauthorized persone-"

"You are in the scooping room now," Baby said.

Dee looked around. In front of him was a giant claw, which Dee guesses was the scooper. Heads, limbs, and torsos of Marvin, Jackie, and Host were strewn about the room. Even the small Septiceye Sam was there.

"Marvin has already been here today. Jackie has already been here today. Host has already been here today. Circus Baby has already been here today."

Dee's chest grew tight. Who was talking if it wasn't Baby?

"I've been out before, but they always put me back."

Dee saw them then. Against the glass. It was a bunch of wires and metal, topped off with the missing clown mask.

"They always put us back inside. There's nowhere for us to hide here. There is nowhere to go... when we look like this. But, if we looked like you, then we could hide. If we looked like you, then we would have somewhere to go."

"What are you getting to...?" Dee asked, panicking.

"The scooper only hurts for a moment."

Dee started breathing heavy. "No NO! Please, don't!"

But, of course, it didn't listen.

Don't tell daddy that I'm here. I wanted to watch the show too! I don't know why he won't let me come see you, you're wonderful! Where did the other children go?
