-> He smiled at the phone number. For the first time in weeks, it didn’t feel like a monster was trying to squeeze the heart out of Edward’s chest. He suddenly saw [[HopeSpot a sliver of hope for his future]]. Maybe he could have a friend after all.
Best friends Edward Colter and Jack Weston find a stray kitten hiding in a bush and immediately take it to Jack's home. Naming him Faraday, the two absolutely adore their new pet and dote on the kitten nonstop. When the kitten gets out of the yard and runs into the street, obviously they rush after it, and both Faraday and Jack are struck by an oncoming truck, instantly dead. Traumatized and grief-stricken, Edward retreats into himself until he sees a strange advertisement on the television– Fazbear Entertainment says that with just a little shed hair, they can make a functional animatronic replica of your dead pet. Overjoyed that he may have a way to still have his best friends still with him, Edward scoops up some hair from the scene of the accident... and doesn't check to make sure it's the cat's hair before sending it in.
The twenty-eighth ''Literature/FiveNightsAtFreddysFazbearFrights'' story, and the first of the tenth book.

!!Tropes related to “Friendly Face”:
* AdaptationalNameChange: It may have been a typo, but the original listing for the book referred to Edward as "Andrew." As his story has nothing to do with Andrew from the epilogues, it's most likely that his name was changed to avoid confusion with the two characters.
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Jack usually speaks in long, thought-out sentences and references his scientific studies.
* AnimalisticAbomination: Friendly Faces are supposed to be animatronic recreations of deceased pets, using DNA from the pet's hair to recreate the face. Edward wants one to get over Faraday's death, but mistakenly sends one of Jack's hairs, resulting in a black cat with a grinning human face.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Edward has some kind of disorder that causes him to be inattentive and fall back into daydreams. It gets him into a ton of accidents.
* {{Bookworm}}: Both Edward and Jack are huge book-lovers, usually reading either science fiction or science ''non''-fiction.
* ABoyAndHisX: Two boys and their cat. If only this wasn't a tragedy series.
* BreakTheCutie: Jack's death leaves Edward a BrokenAce who can barely get out of bed and take care of himself.
* BullyMagnet: Both Jack and Edward, though the latter takes the cake as his oddities can cause classroom accidents, while Jack's just a StereotypicalNerd.
* BuriedAlive: Edward does this to the Friendly Face in a panic, thinking it's non-sentient. The thing just crawls out and tries to find him again.
* ButWaitTheresMore: Edward finds out about the Friendly Face service because of an infomercial that pops up on the TV in the classic, sales-pitch style.
* CheerfulChild: Jack has noticeable smile lines on his face.
* ChekovsGun: The dump trucks coming around the neighborhood for construction are brought up consistently even before one hits Jack, with one even scaring Faraday closer to the boys in their first meeting.
* ChildhoodFriends: Edward and Jack have been best friends since they were in diapers.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Edward off-handedly states that he believes the Loch Ness Monster is real, and just occasionally travels through wormholes.
* CopeByPretending: Edward thinks that the Friendly Face will help him do this by reminding him of his lost friends. It works a bit too well.
* CoversAlwaysLie: The book cover depicts the titular character with white, pupil-less eyes and a blank expression, but in-story it has regular-looking brown eyes and is constantly grinning.
* CreepyGood: The Friendly Face is completely and utterly unnerving, but actually means no harm.
* CuteKitten: Our plot is kickstarted when Edward finds one in the bushes.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Our GoodAllAlong Friendly Face.
* DeathOfAChild: Jack's death affects everyone who knew him, and poor Edward is absolutely broken over it. The sudden death of Edward hits just as hard, too. (No pun intended.)
* DisappearedDad: Edward's dad left when he was three and remarried. Jack's father [[WhenYouComingHomeDad is almost constantly at work]].
* DownerEnding: After being soaked in grief for so long, Edward dies in the same was Jack and Faraday, and in utter fear for his life. Meanwhile, the creation he was so scared of simply wanted to play, and sits down and waits for him to get up.
* FiveStagesOfGrief: Edward starts the accident by being unable to process what he'd just seen, then with bargaining as he tries to figure out where to place the blame. He sinks into a deep depression which he's unable to climb out of, interspersed with anger for everyone blaming Faraday. He falls back on "bargaining" when he thinks he's found a new coping mechanism in the Friendly Face, and never reaches Acceptance.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Fazbear Entertainment was right, they were able to make that animatronic look like the DNA they got. Too bad they got human DNA and didn't care enough to call the buyer about it.
* GoodAllAlong: It seems that the Friendly Face is now stalking Edward as vengeance for burying it alive. Turns out it didn't even notice, and just thought they were playing a game.
* GoodWithNumbers: Edward's stated to be a bit of a math nerd.
* IronicName: "Friendly Face," which has Edward's friend for a face... which doesn't make it look friendly at all.
* KindheartedCatLover: The ''second'' Jack lays eyes on Faraday, he's in love with the little kitten. From then on, he refuses to be parted from him.
* LookBothWays: Jack chases Faraday into the street and gets hit by a truck. Later, the Friendly Face chases Edward into the street in a similar fashion.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Faraday was this to Jack and Edward. The Friendly Face was built to be this, too.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Friendly Face, though it's not actively malevolent.
* MouthfulOfPi: Edward does this while in bed to distract himself from his paranoia over the Friendly Face and get to sleep.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Edward did this quite a bit even before Jack's accident. Then, he's so excited to essentially have Faraday back from the dead through Fazbear Ent.'s Friendly Face product, he just grabs a hair from the location of his and Jack's death without examining it to make sure it was Faraday's cat hair. A few weeks later, and Edward gets his Friendly Face. A human face.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: The Friendly Face that Edward gets, while creepy due to Edward sending in human hairs by mistake to make the face with, turns out to be simply playful and is not malicious at all. Unfortunately, Edward never finds this out.
* ParentalAbandonment: Edward's dad left and has a new family. He only sends his son some money on birthdays. While Jack's parents are present, they are usually at work, which means Jack raised himself.
* PerpetualSmiler: Friendly Face, which is made to be played with.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Faraday.
* TheScapegoat: Jack's parents start cursing out the cat for running into the road, blaming it for their son's death. Edward is horrified by this, as he and Jack were very close with the kitten.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Mainly Jack, but bookish Edward will slip into big words as well.
* ShoutOut: The cat is named after Michael Faraday, an electrochemist and electromagnetist.
** Edward additionally references Guru Kailash Singh and Amou Haji.
* StereotypicalNerd: Both of the boys, though Jack is more obvious about it with his direct manner of speech.
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: Jack and Faraday were just playing in the yard when they got hit by a dump truck, shocking the entire community. Then, right at the end, the audience is just as shocked when Edward runs out of the woods and onto a highway.
* SurvivorsGuilt: Edward, as he watched Jack and Faraday die only a few feet from him.
* UnnamedParent: All the parents in this story go without names.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Edward spends a long time wondering what could have been done differently to prevent the accident. Most of the adults blame Faraday, who chased a butterfly into the street, but Edward refuses to place the blame solely on the beloved cat.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Mr. Weston, who's a long-haul trucker and always on the road; the only time Jack is serious and quiet are when his dad is around. While his mom is more present, she's a {{Workaholic}} and isn't "all that aware of what was going on in the world beyond her work."
