Alright chapter three that's what I'm talking about. I hope you all enjoy the chapter. I had to really think hard about this one guys so please bare with me.

*Ghost-appaloosa Meet the Neddles.*

The trio walked inside and immediately found themselves shaking. That's when they started to hear crying. Fluttershy jumped behind Tails thinking it was a ghost. There was then something in near the steps. Luigi creepily walked over to whatever and was shocked to see what or who it was. It was a toad.

"Huh a toad? What are you doing here?"

"Huh"

The toad stopped crying and saw Luigi

"Luigi it's you. Oh thank goodness. Twilight sent a message telling the princesses about this place. Celestia sent a letter saying she wanted to know about this. When Twilight didn't respond they knew something was wrong. So they wanted me and a bunch of other toads to go and find Twilight and the others, but when I got here. I was attacked by ghosts but knowing your here makes everything a-okay."

"Thanks toad, but I'm not alone."

Toad was confused and then looked around and saw Tails and Fluttershy walking up to them.

"Tails and Fluttershy are you here to help Luigi?"

"Yes toad. Don't worry we will find them."

"Okay here it's a little to creepy with the lights of."

Toad then went over to a mirror and went behind it. The lights then came on and toad came out from behind the mirror.

"How did you do that?" Tails asked

"When I came in here the ghosts attacked me, but as soon as they heard the front door open they made a run for it and this appeared, but I was to scared to get up and see what it would do."

"At least we have power right?" Fluttershy asked

"Yep. I guess we should start with the upstairs and go from there since that's where we last saw the ghosts." Tails suggested

Luigi and Fluttershy were hesitant about that and didn't speak. Tails sighed

"I get it, but remember our friends need us and we can't let them down."

Luigi and Fluttershy looked at each other and nodded

"Your right Tails we need to try."

"Agreed"

So the trio went up the stairs to the room they were in when they first met the professor. As usual the lights were out well almost all of them. There were some lit candles all around the room, but had purple flames coming from them. The trio split up to try and search the room. Luigi found a door and tried to open it, but it was locked.

"There seems to be nothing here." Luigi said

Then the same laughter they heard before came back. A sudden gust of wind blew by and blew out all the candles. The trio back up to each other with Tails on the right facing the right side of the room, Fluttershy on the left facing the left, and Luigi in the middle.

"W-W-Who's there?" Tails asked

That's when someone spoke.

"Us."

They looked around the room until they saw a painting. The painting then spoke again only shook as it spoke

"WHO pit out my candles? Was it you Mr. Lime- Green, Mr. Twin Tails, and Mrs. Pony girl?"

"No it wasn't us Mr. Painting but we can light them back up for you if you want."

Then another painting shook that was in front of Fluttershy spoke.

"Well I'm afraid you can't. As you can guessed dark rooms are dangerous around here... Yesss."

"What do you mean?" Luigi asked

The one in front of Tails spoke.

"THEY love the dark... and now THEY will get YOU! Bloo-heh"

"Who's they?" Tails asked

Then more paintings started speaking.

"Now you three are in for it."

"Just like little red cap, the blue rat, and the 5 sad ponies before you..."

Hearing that part made the trio worry, but Tails furious inside for saying that about Sonic.

"W-W-What did you do with them?" Fluttershy asked scared out of her mind.

"May you wander lost in darkness... forever!... Are you afraid of the dark little ones? Are you? Huh?"

There toying with us. Tails thought

"Blah-ha! Here THEY are now"

Just then ghosts started appearing. It spook the three. Then they got their bearings as the ghosts approached. They were orange ghosts.

"SPLIT UP!" Tails yelled

The trio separated. Luigi had a orange ghost on his tail but he was able to jump behind the ghost and catch it in his flashlight. He then used his vacuum and sucked the ghost inside. Tails was jumping from across the tables the ghost was catching on and was setting Tails up. However Tails predicted this and pulled a fake out maneuver. He got the ghost in his light and sucked the ghost up. Flutters was caught in a corner with two ghosts coming close to her. Tails and Luigi were capturing their ghosts so Fluttershy was on her own. Seeing little choice Flutters waited until the ghosts got close and flashed them. She then got out her vacuum and tried pulling the two in. The ghosts tried to get away, but Fluttershy pulled it off and got the ghosts. The trio looked around the room

"That all of them?" Tails asked

The lights then came on scaring Fluttershy. A chest then appeared. Tails went to open it and looked inside. A key then popped out and Tails went to grab it. For some reason he then tossed the key in the air grabbed and held it up in the air. Luigi and Fluttershy looked at Tails confused. Tails looked back and scratched his head embarrassed.

"Sorry force of habit."

"Its-a okay Tails. I do it sometimes to." Luigi said

"And I don't mind it I think it looks kind of cute." Fluttershy said

Tails smiled at them.

"Okay hey Luigi can you check the Gameboy Horror to see where this key goes."

"Okie Dokie."

He looked at it and pointed to the door he was trying to open the trio went and unlocked the into the next room. They went into two more rooms each with there own set of ghosts, but each time they gathered up all the ghosts in the room the lights turn on. The second room didn't have much, but while in the third room they encountered a speedy light blue ghost that had some major speed. They were able to stop to stop it with Fluttershy using the stare at the ghost stopping it in its tracks. Luigi then sucked it up into the Poltergeist but then something strange happened a ruby then popped out of the Poltergeist and landed next to Tails. Tails picked it up and gave it to Luigi.

"Here you go Luigi. I you should keep it."

"Thank you Tails. Tell you what you get the next one okay?"

Tails nodded and then instead of one three chests appeared. Tails and Luigi opened them and found three keys. Luigi looked up each one and they all led to three rooms in a hallway on the left door near the entrance. The one Fluttershy had tried to open. Speaking of Fluttershy Luigi and Tails looked around and didn't see Fluttershy anywhere. Tails was about to freak until Fluttershy came into the room from another door. She told Tails and Luigi she found another toad worried about their friends, but when he saw her he knew everything was okay and that he's counting on them to find their friends. She then showed them a fourth key. Luigi then took a look at it through the Gameboy Horror and identified as the key they were looking for.

"This is it. We need to use these keys to get in this hallway."

The trio went back to the room and approached the door. They looked at each other and nodded. Fluttershy went and turned the lock and opened the door. However there was a trail of coins. Luigi was curious and followed the trail which led to a door. However the minute he twisted the knob the door opened like another force acted on it smacking Luigi into the wall flattening him. Tails and Fluttershy were surprised by this and ran to Luigi.

"Luigi are you okay?" Fluttershy asked

Luigi tried talking and he was able to blow himself back up. Tails inspected the door then turned to Luigi and Fluttershy.

"Hey Luigi check the Gameboy Horror real quick please."

"Why?"

"I have a theory, but I need to be sure."

Luigi then looked at the Gameboy Horror and looked at the map and what he saw confused him. On the map there was no door in front of them while in front of them there was a door. Tails and Fluttershy looked at this.

"I knew it they put fake doors all over the place to confuse us. We'll have to be careful when going through this place. So here's the deal I was talking to the professor while you two were looking around the gallery and was able to design these. They'll detect the heart of the portrait ghosts and give you an idea on how to expose them. Now since we have three keys and three rooms I say we split up. Luigi you take the far room on the left, Fluttershy go to the library, and I'll go into that room sound good?"

Tails gave one of the devices to Fluttershy while he took the other one. Fluttershy and Luigi looked at each other and both thought this was a bad idea, but decided to go with it. So Luigi went to the room called the Study, Fluttershy went into a room known as the Master Bedroom, and Tails went into what looked like a nursery.

(Luigi's POV)

I wasn't sure what to except. I was so scared to unlock that door, but when I did I didn't see anything in there.

"H-H-Hello is someone there?" He asked

No answer. I was super scared, but knew I had to toughen out. I decide to start looking around through my Gameboy Horror. I accidentally ran into another speed ghost but caught it and got a green emerald. It was a plain one worth a lot. I remembered what I told Tails and decided to hang on to it for him. After that I pointed my Gameboy Horror around the room to find something interesting. I found a chair rocking back and forth on its own. That's when I pointed it and realized why. There was a ghost rocking it back and forth reading. I wanted to look but he wouldn't appear in my sight. I decided to consult the books flipping through each one until one caught my eye. It was called "Book of Riddles" it mention that things appear when people look away, but it also said to look at a different blew and an opening will surly appear. That's when I had an idea I got myself in a position where I was looking away but where I could turn real quickly to see the chair. After a few seconds I heard a yawn and turned with my flashlight on and caught the portrait ghost of guard. I started to pull on the ghost, but was having trouble since this ghost had a lot more pull and was releasing black mushrooms that I recognized which can shrink me down to a tiny Luigi, but I was able to dodge them and suck up the ghost. The thing was he dropped a giant pearl when that happened and I picked up the pearl and put it in my inventory.

"Hope Fluttershy and Tails are fair as well as I did."

Meanwhile with Fluttershy

(Fluttershy's POV)

I went into the bedroom and was super shy and afraid to find the ghost of this bedroom. So I used Tails device careful and scanned around the room. That's when I found a piece of chess and accidentally scanned it then the cutest little thing appeared a golden mouse.

"Oh what a cute mouse."

The mouse though ran away. I heard it say he was scared because of my vacuum. I didn't mean to scare him so I took of the Poltergeist so I could show it was okay. The mouse looked over and saw I didn't have the vacuum and came over to me.

"It's okay little guy I'm only here to stop the mean ghosts. You were afraid I would suck you into my vacuum weren't you?"

The mouse nodded and told me he was just trying to get something to eat. So I put the mouse down on the cheese and asked the mouse where the ghost I was look for was. It told me she was near that mirror. I scanned the room and found the ghost blushing her hair. I couldn't see it and didn't know how I could suck it into the vacuum. The mouse then said that she hated having her hair messed with. I needed to figure something out. That's when a cold chill went through my wings. At first I thought it was cause I was terrified, but then I noticed some curtains were blowing in the wind. That's when I decided to pull the curtains back and a big gust of wind blew in.

"Oh dear... such a draft..."

I then was able to catch it with my light and started sucking her up. She pulled hard and dropped these black mushrooms that I have never seen before. I avoided them, but kept being dragged around. I accidentally hit the mouse sending him flying. Right after I suck up the ghost I turned and saw the cute golden mouse getting caught in the wind.

"Oh no... what am I going to do... What am I... Wait a minute."

I then used the vacuum which had a stronger pull the wind and pulled the mouse toward me. However I was able to stop him from flying into the vacuum. The mouse had his eyes closed the whole time, but looked up to see he was fine.

"Are you hurt little mouse?"

The mouse looked at me and shook his head. I then placed him down and was about to leave when the mouse looked at me with a sad face. I knew I couldn't stay here because I had to find my friends and I didn't want to take him from his home. That's when the mouse ran to me and asked if he could come along.

"But what about hear don't you live here?"

The mouse shook his head no. It made me so sad and worried that the little one didn't have a home so I said

"You can come along with me."

The mouse then showed he was happy with his eyes. He ran back into his hole saying he had a present for me. He came out and brought me about 500 bits. I was amazed at how much the little mouse had.

"Oh no I can't take this." I said

However the mouse instead. So I thanked him and grabbed all of the bits I had. The mouse then ran up to my mane and we set out for the hallway.

Meanwhile with Tails

(Tails POV)

As I was approaching my door Luigi and Fluttershy already went into theirs. I was bout to open it when I heard something that sounded like a baby crying. I went inside and found myself in some kind of nursery. I then started to scan the room until I found a little child crying his heart out. I had put a translator on mine and the Fluttershy's device, but I forgot to mention how to use it.

"I hope she's okay."

I was pretty worried, but I had to believe in her I then listen to the baby ghost and he kept crying out horseie. I was assuming he meant the wooden horse in the room. So I rocked it for a bit and that's when he came out of his crib and appeared on the horse. It spooked me, but then he spoke to me

"Hey. Wanna play with me?"

"Um no thank you."

That's when I noticed teddy bears were being thrown at me. I dodge the teddy bears and decided enough was enough I found a ball in the room. I decided it was time to teach him a lesson. I was really happy Fluttershy wasn't around otherwise she would have killed me for this. I threw the ball into the child's face and that's when things got weird.

"Ow you gave me an owie.'' the ghost told me

"Well I'm sorry but you were throwing teddy bears at me and I knew they had something in them besides stuffing."

"Well I just wanted to play with you... I HATE grown- ups!" He screamed

"Look I get it, but listen it's time for you to-"

"WHY!"

"What do you mean?"

I was confused

"... Why do you have to be bigger than meet?"

"Well because I'm older than you that's-"

"I've had enough!... Small... Now grow smaller."

Suddenly a wind was picking up almost like something was happening to me. I felt a powerful force dwelling in my body and found myself caught in a gust of wind and light. I could still make out the child's voice as this happened.

"Small! Itsy! Tiny! Little! Wee! Ga ga goo goo GA!"

Everything went black. I then woke up and started to get up.

"Ow what happened."

I looked around and was in complete shock I confirmed I was in some twisted reality. I was on a crib and I wasn't alone. I saw Pinkie completely knocked out. I tried to run over to her then I heard that child's cries again. I looked up and saw giant wooden horses came at me. I ducked as they all pasted by and then I looked to see a giant version of the child I saw in the nursery. I practically panicked and fell flat on my bottom.

"NOW YOUR GONNA GET IT. YOU GAVE CHAUNCEY AN OWIE AND NOW YOUR GONNA GET ONE." the baby yelled at me

I quickly figured out the baby was talking about him. So I decided to call him Chauncey. Chauncey got out his rattle and started shaking it. Wooden horses then appeared from left and right. I dodged them left and right and then he started sending huge versions of the ball I threw at him. I dodged them barely but notice all of them bounce out except for one. I then had to use the ball to my advantage so I used my Tails and line up my shot just right hitting Chauncey in the face again. I then got out my vacuum and started sucking Chauncey in. I was getting him until he broke free.

"Man this is one tough child."

Chauncey growled at me and started hopping around all over the place. I notice though Pinkie was about to be flattened. I jumped in and spindash rolled out just in time. I put Pinkie in a corner to make sure she was safe. I then got back to the fight. Chauncey then launched more wooden horses and they were getting faster, but I figured out they only go when I'm in their sight so I kept running back and forth getting them to rush at the wrong time. After the horses Chauncey launched more of those big balls into the crib. I dodged them and launched the one that stayed at Chauncey. I caught Chauncey again only this time I gave my vacuum a little more juice using my arm cannon's electricity orbs. That did the trick as Chauncey was captured. I then twirled the vacuum and put it back on it's holder. I then turned forward and gave a thumbs up and smiled

"Alright got you Chauncey."

I then ran over to Pinkie to wake her up.

"Hey Pinkie you okay."

Her eyes started to move around until she woke up. However right as she did a flash of light came and took us back to the nursery. I looked at Pinkie and she looked at me with a blank stare. This went on for a few seconds and I grew worried

"Um Pinkie are you okay?"

Pinkie then smiled and started laughing.

"HAHAHAHA Oh man Tails I had the most funniest dream..."

She then described everything that happened in the dream to when I was fighting Chauncey. I then looked at her and got weirder out by this.

"Um Pinkie that wasn't a dream."

Pinkie then looked at me and ran up to my face making me fall on the floor

"Are you serious that really happened."

I shook my head yes and Pinkie then smiled and started bouncing all over the room saying she couldn't believe that happened and wanted to do it again. I saw a big golden chest and decided to open it and I found something interesting. A pink key with the handle being a heart and picked it up. Pinkie stopped bouncing around and I gave my peace sign only with Pinkie jumping in the air with a smile. That went on for a few seconds and then she landed on her hoofs. I looked at her in embarrassment. She smiled at me and said

"Hey its okay I don't mind and I don't think the readers mind either."

As usual her logic made less sense than others. We left the nursery and found Fluttershy and Luigi waiting for us.

(No POV)

Luigi and Fluttershy came out of there rooms simultaneously and went to Tails door. They then told each other about what happened and Luigi grew a little concerned after hearing about the mouse.

"So your going to take that thing home?"

"Yes I am. Is there something wrong with that?" Fluttershy asked nervously

"No... no I'm just saying it's a little strange, but shows you still have that kind heart."

Fluttershy smiled at Luigi and then they heard a door open. They turned to see Tails and Pinkie exiting.

"PINKIE PIE!" Luigi screamed in joy

Fluttershy had a tear as she ran towards her friend and hugged her. Pinkie returned with a hug while Tails and Luigi smiled at the sight. That's when the Gameboy Horror went off and rang ruining the moment.

"Hey kiddo's is everything okay I lost the signal from Tails."

"Yeah were good professor."

"Ohh who's that? *GASP* YOU GUYS MADE A NEW FRIEND AND DIDN'T TELL ME!" Pinkie screamed

"Whoa Pinkie we just met him today actually." Luigi said

"Oh okay" Pinkie said immediately calming down

Tails just smacked his face and shook his head.

"Well you all seem pretty tuckered out. I'm guessing you ran into some portrait ghosts?"

"Yes Professor, but we took care of them."

"Well why don't you come back down to the lab. You all look like you could use a small break before going on."

Everyone looked at each other and agreed.

"Okay professor we're on our way back."

"Splendid oh by the way nice job on capturing those portrait ghosts. Guess you three showed those boss ghosts who's boss!"

Pinkie laughed at the joke while the other three just smiled. with that they all left the hallway and head out for the lab. However someone was watching.

"So they defeated the Neddles... no matter."

The mysterious ghost turned to a pink aura.

"You know what to do."

The pink aura vanished and the mysterious ghost laughed an evil but familiar laughter.
