Rainbow Dash (RD): So guys, what are we planning on doing today?
Twilight Sparkle (TS): Maybe we can go to a haunted house for Nightmare Night?
Rarity (R): It sounds delightful Twilight. Although I see a problem
TS: Which is?
R: Where shall we go?
Fluttershy (FS): Can I please not go, I...I don't want to go in a scary house.
Pinkie Pie (PP): Don't worry Fluttershy! Haunted houses won't hurt you.
FS: I know, but they're scary. You know how sensitive I am to that.
*Applejack (AJ) walks into the house and greets the others*
AJ: How y'all fellers doing?
TS: Were doing great, we are planning on going to a haunted house for Nightmare Night.
AJ: Oh! I know a place, but um…..
TS: What is it Applejack?
AJ: I need to speak with you in private Twilight.
*TS and AJ go into a room a little far away from the previous place where the other ponies were*
AJ: Look, Twilight, I have been planning something for Nightmare Night.
TS: What were you planning?
AJ: I was planning a prank, you know, making a fake monster to scare the apples out of 'em.
TS: Well how would you accomplish that Applejack?
AJ: That's why I need you to help me with it.
TS: I don't want to scare my friends! Besides, I wouldn't accept anyway.
AJ: And why's that?
TS: Because you know how sensitive Fluttershy is!
AJ: What about the others?
TS: I would think they would be tolerant with it.
AJ: So basically what you're saying is that Fluttershy is a cry baby?
TS: NO! I would never say that, she just gets scared easily.
AJ: Well at least let me show what I can do with the haunted house.
TS: Fine we will check it out tonight since it is Nightmare Night.
*Both AJ and TS return to the table*
TS: Sorry about the wait everyone. Applejack was just explaining where the new haunted house was.
R: And where is it?
AJ: It is actually a little ways from the pasture.
PP: When do we meet?
TS: Around 9:30PM
AJ: Well see you guys there.
*Everyone says their goodbyes before leaving the house*
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
9:32 PM
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
AJ: Well, here it is, in all of its glory
FS: I really don't want to do this
TS: Remember what Pinkie said," Haunted houses can't hurt you"
FS: I know, I know.
PP: Let's go in!
*The six enter the worn up house, it was decorated perfectly in every detail.*
Twilight Sparkle's thoughts (TST): Wow! Applejack really out did herself
R: Oh my, this is fairly unsettling
RD: I think it is cool, I mean look at these skeletons!
FS: It's scary. (She sounds worried)
*All of sudden, a whoosh comes upon the Mane 6*
AJ: What was that!
*Twilight Sparkle leans to Applejacks' ear*
TS: I thought you did everything
AJ: Im'ma be honest with ya partner, all I did was decorate the place, I never hired anyone to scare any pony.
TS: So this isn't a lie? That wasn't you?
AJ: I done told ya the truth!
*while TS and AJ were bickering, the others had wandered in different directions, except Fluttershy, who stayed in front of TS and AJ*
FS: Guys, I am scared.
*Fluttershy finally tried to leave, but the door seems to be locked.*
*TS, AJ, and FS all said the same thing*
TS, AJ, FS: Huh?
TS: The door is locked!
AJ: What in tarnation is happening with this house?!
FS: I want to go home!
*Out of nowhere they hear a scream, Rarity!*
TS: Was that Rarity?
AJ: Let's go!
*By the time the other 3 got there, the other 2 had been kneeling down at the sight. Rarity's guts and blood were splattered everywhere*
RD: Why did we come here! Rarity is dead!
PP: What happened to her! Who did this! Will we have the same fate!
*Everyone was panicking at the sight of Rarity dead*
TS: Everypony calm down! We need to maintain out metal health, or we may go insane!
*Everyone tried to quiet down, but Fluttershy couldn't help but shed a tear.*
RD: We have to get out of here and call the police!
AJ: We can't
RD: Whatdaya' mean we can't?!
TS: The door is somehow locked.
*Everyone went quiet, the whoosh happened again, near Applejacks ear*
AJ: That thing just went next to mah' ear!
TS: Oh my Celestia! Applejack, your ear is bleeding!
AJ: What?
PP: Do we have any bandages?
*The blood spilling from AJ's ear was starting to become a dark, dark black.
TS: Oh my.
*Everyone except AJ of course was shocked by what was happening to the blood.*
AJ: Guys, I ain't feeling right.
*AJ fell to the wooden floor, breaking it. She sadly, however, landed on a conveniently placed shard of wood, blood splattered everywhere.*
FS: *sob* APPLEJACK!
*RD ran down to see if she could save her friend, maybe there was still time. When she checked the pulse, AJ was dead*
RD: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*TS told them about how AJ planned this, but never planned anyone to die, she just did decorations. When she first saw that black soul thing, she was frightened.*
PP: You seriously knew about this and didn't tell us?!
TS: She said it was supposed to be a joke! It didn't matter it was just for fun!
RD: Well because of that, Applejack is dead!
TS: Let's just make sure we are all here.
*She calls everyone's names and everyone acknowledged her when it was called.*
PP: Don't mean to mess up the mood, but is there a little pony's room around?
TS: I think that is one.
PP: I will be back in just a sec
*They waited, hoping the black soul will not get them again
FS: Pinkie Pie has been gone for an awfully long time.
RD: Let's go make sure she is okay
TS: I have the worst feeling right now
*They moved into the bathroom PP had entered.*
RD: No. Not again!
FS: Pinkie, you're just playing around right? Right?
TS: I am going to check the pulse…she's dead.
*Twilight and Fluttershy start crying while Rainbow tries to remain brave, but sheds a tear.*
FS: I can't take this anymore!
RD: I am losing it!
TS: This could be worse! Think on the bright side!
RD: Worse? YOU SAY IT CAN'T GET ANY WORSE? YOU ARE WRONG
*RD takes Twilight by her hair and says*
RD: If you think it can get any better, than we should throw you into the place where Applejack died!
FS: Rainbow Dash, STOP!
RD: SHUT UP FLUTTERSHY!
TS: Rainbow! You are going insane! Please stop!
*RD throws TS into the entrance and continuously slams her head into the door*
*FS tackles RD and pins her down*
RD: Let me go!
FS: Stop hurting Twilight!
RD: She deserves it!
FS: No she doesn't!
*TS then got up and looked at RD*
FS: Oh my! Twilight you're covered in b…blood!
TS: Please calm down Rainbow Dash!
RD: How can I calm down! YOU GOT US INTO THIS MESS!
TS: NO ONE KNEW THIS OUTCOME WOULD HAPPEN!
*With that statement, RD stops struggling and changes her hate face into a sad one*
RD: I know, I just….our friends were murdered.
TS: We can stay sane as long as we talk through this okay?
*The 3 then start calming each other down, enough to where FS let RD go*
FS: What do we do now?
TS: I don't know
RD…maybe we can break the door down?
*The whoosh came once again*
FS: OH NO! (She busted into tears)
*RD then saw something strange with TS, her body was getting darker.*
RD: Uh, Twilight, I think you're next
TS: WHAT!
RD: Your skin is turning darker and darker.
FS: Twilight…noooo.
TS: It might just be an allergy!
*TS then said she felt like going to sleep. RD saw what this meant, she had to keep TS up.*
RD: YOU CAN'T GO TO SLEEP!
TS: *yawn* Why not?
RD: THAT IS WHAT WILL KILL YOU!
*TS tried to stay awake afterwards, but she eventually couldn't fight it anymore. She fell asleep*
RD: TWILIGHT WAKE UP!
*RD tried to wake up her friend, FS helped as well*
FS: No! Twilight please wake up!
RD: It's no use Fluttershy, she's gone.
*All of a sudden the wisp appears in human form, it was Nightmare Moon.*
NM: So you two are the last to survive this trick?
RD: Trick?
FS: What?
NM: Fools, you're in a simulation. When you agreed to go to the haunted house, Twilight Sparkle agreed and assisted in making you all unconscious, she then hooked you up to a dream simulator along with Applejack. The way it worked was that one by one, a pony would die in the SIMULATION, but is still alive in the real world. In fact, they are watching you and me now. Would you care to leave?
RD, FS: YES, YES PLEASE, PLEASE, WE CAN'T STAND THIS ANYMORE!
NM: Very well.
*The world around RD and FS starts to fall apart as they are made out of existence in that world, they reappear at Twilight's house on 2 beds, with metal caps on their heads.*
RD: What is wrong with you Applejack! You too Twilight!
TS: To be honest I thought you would be laughing
FS: LAUGHING? YOU HAD US WORRIED SICK
AJ: Hey least it wasn't real
*RD and FS exchange looks of relief on all levels of their body*
R: I swear I nearly had a heart attack when I died
AJ: I knew my time would come around but mine was brutal not wasn't it?
TS: We did however plan who would be the last two
PP: You two!
RD: Why was Nightmare Moon the cause of it?
TS: Nightmare Night! Don't you even remember why we even did this little thing? We had to have something to do for Nightmare Night.
FS: So everything is alright?
AJ: You betcha'!
So how did you enjoy that little twist, it was all a simulation!
