#literally a wholeass fucking building in an underground cavern. under the plex.

Remember that random idea of "We Bought a Zoo" but "We Bought a Pizzaplex"?

Cassie's dad gets some inheritance or something and buys the failing Pizzaplex from Fazbear Ent. He's never worked there before. He was looking around with the estate agent or whatever, lost track of Cassie for five whole seconds and found her having a blast with Roxy in some ruined salon, and great cool now he's gotta buy it

If this is post dealing with Mimic and all that other shit that went on, but without him and Cassie being anywhere near the place, it's just a story about this guy and his kid walking into a building of heavily traumatised animatronics, learning that not only are they sentient, but that yeah people died here and they're not happy about some random fucking guy showing up to reopen this stupid place. The only time they've had any freedom has been when Fazbear ditched them to drop them on the market, they don't want to lose that!

And holy shit look at them all. The moment Cassie's dad realises they're sentient is also the moment he decides they probably all need a fucking therapist.

Genuinely considers if bulldozing the entire Plex and starting from scratch would genuinely be easier than dealing with whatever the fuck Fazbear left behind. He's amazed by how many of the animatronics agree, and how many assumed that was what he was going to do anyway.

Freddy returns with Gregory and Cassie's dad is just sat there, absolutely baffled by how these animatronics have more drama than a fucking soap opera. Like, they're supporting each other and doing their best, but oh my god sometimes he could cut the tension with a fucking knife.

Honestly, he starts to feel glad that some of them are messing with him as much as they are. If they're messing with him, then they aren't thinking about the hell they've been through and how angry they are at each other.

You could throw in the idea that Cassie was there doing the whole Mimic thing, but keep her dad completely new to the building and everyone in it. Like okay he knows there was a killer robot in there and a bunch of dead guys, maybe he's even gotten a glimpse of Roxy and her Minis when he came to get Cassie, but that's it. Mimic is gone, the bodies are gone and the second he gave in and brought Cassie back to visit everyone, was the second he realised he couldn't let someone else buy this place now that it's going on the market. He can't take this place away from her... this is the happiest he's seen her in an insanely long time and she's playing with the most fucked up metal creatures he's ever seen in his life.

No one else wants it, so he got it very cheap, and probably from the compensation he was paid for what happened to Cassie. He is Not Prepared for the can of worms he's about to open by stepping into the ruins as it's owner for the very first time.
