The Twilight Sparkle Zone
By Technomaru
Special Chapter: "Tower of Terror"
Note: I do not own My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic nor The Twilight Zone. Yes I am a Brony.
Originally I wasn't going to do this short story but I remembered the ride and to see what would happen if the ponies were to go on it. Plus my close friend loves theme parks and it might take a break from the weird stuff from the last two and a half chapters, then I will resume to doing the last two stories based on episodes of the show.
Oh and caractures of me and my best friends as ponies do appear, try to find us!
Trivia: The Tower of Terror ride at Tokyo DisneySea does not have a Twilight Zone theme.
"You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!"
(Dizzyland)
The Mane Six and their friends have made it to Equestria's theme park "Dizzyland" and make up plans on which of the group would go where.
Twilight Sparkle says to her friends, "Me and Pipsqueak will go on "Pirates of the Mare-ibbean"." Pipsqueak shows up in his pirate costume and says to Twilight, "Thank you so much Twilight Sparkle!"
Rarity then states, "Me and Applejack are going to "The Dizzy Princess meet and greet" with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, and Derpy and her daughter are going with us." Derpy flies up and asks, "Will Princess Muffin be there"? Rarity and Applejack then roll their eyes.
Edna then trots to her friends and says, "Hi guys, me and Kimono are going to "Innoventions" in Futureland, so Pinkie Pie, what are you going to do?"
Pinkie Pie then pulls out a cookbook and shouts, "TO SERVE PONY! IT'S A COOKBOOK!" Edna then rolls her eyes and replies, "Wrong episode Pinkie, anyway what are you going to do?"
Pinkie then looks innocent and replies, "Oh I'm going on a ride with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy."
And so the group departs Fluttershy asks in her usual meek voice, "So um... what ride are we going on?" Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie then make smiles at eachother, smiles of pure mischief.
Rainbow Dash then goes up to Fluttershy and says to her, "That one!" And she points to a giant Hotel with the words "Hollywood Tower Hotel" and it looks like lightning struck the sign. Fluttershy's pupils turn small and she shrieks in fear.
Spike shows up in a fancy black suit and holds a balloon in one hand that has mouse ears on it as he delivers his narraraton:
"Submitted for your approval, we have one Fluttershy, about to enter a ride that writes a new definition of the word "Terror" in the dictionary. Now we know that Fluttershy has reached the height requirement to enter... The Twilight Sparkle Zone... Tower of Terror!"
Fluttershy then shakes her head and says, "No no no no! I don't want to go on that! Look! Even that Earth Pony has the same idea.
Then the three see a Earth Pony named "Technomaru" yelling, "No, no, I don't wanna go on that ride!" Then a Unicorn named "Crossover Princess" then says, "But you like the show, and also we got to help you get over your fear of drops on rides!" Then "Schreibabysidon" the Pegasus says to him, "Yeah so we got you help you overcome it, even if it means dragging you on it." Technomaru then says, "You can't make me!" Then he runs off. Crossover Princess then uses her unicorn magic to make him levitate towards her as he screams, "No, noooooooo!"
Pinkie Pie then goes to Fluttershy and says, "Pretend you didn't see that, how about if we go on that ride, then we agree to go on that one ride we like so much, agreed?" Fluttershy makes a small smile and says, "Agreed" And then Pinkie Pie pulls out a contract and then she says, "Sign here and the "Pinkie Promise" is signed and sealed!" And so Fluttershy signs it.
Then Rainbow Dash says to the two, "C'mon guys, the line's going to get longer if we just stand around!" Then Rainbow Dash flies to the "Hollywood Tower Hotel" and Pinkie pushes a frightened Fluttershy to it as well.
When they entered the "Hollywood Tower Hotel" they noticed the sign with the Hotel's name glowing and it reads "The Twilight Sparkle Zone: Tower of Terror" Rainbow Dash then asks Pinkie Pie, "I wonder why did they name the ride after Twilight Sparkle?" Pinkie Pie just shrugged. Then they notice the waiting room has items from other episodes of "The Twilight Sparkle Zone" such as Twilight Sparkle's broken glasses from "Time Enough at Last" and a Ms. Smartypants doll from "Living Doll".
Then the three enter the Library and they noticed the books have episode titles from "The Twilight Sparkle Zone" but then all of a sudden, lighting strikes, causing the lights go off and the doors suddenly shut by themselves.
Then the television in the Library turns on and they view strange images and Spike the dragon starts narrating:
"You unlock this door with the key of imagination, beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into . . . The Twilight Sparkle Zone."
"Hollywood, 1939. Amidst the glitz and the glitter of a bustling young movie talent at the height of its golden age, the Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right. A beacon for the show business elite. Now, something is about to happen that will change all that."
(Then they see a shot of the exterior of the hotel and then an interior shot of the elevator. Lightning hits the elevator shaft and the Twilight Sparkle Zone music starts playing. The elevator crashes to the ground and the monologue resumes . . . )
"The time is now, on an evening very much like the one we have just witnessed. Tonight's story on The Twilight Sparkle Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize, is a maintenance service elevator, still in operation, waiting for you. We invite you, if you dare, to step aboard because in tonight's episode you are the star. And this elevator travels directly to . . . The Twilight Sparkle Zone."
The T.V. goes blank and the lights brighten. Fluttershy whimpers in fear after seeing it she tries to fly away but then Pinkie Pie says, "Oh c'mon! You "pinkie promised", remember?"
The doors open and the pony in the bellhop outfit beckons Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy to exit into the boiler room.
In the boiler room they notices the loading bay where the elevators prepare for the ride. The earth pony, the pegasus, and the unicorn they saw earlier board on as well and the earth pony still looks very nervous.
And so the three board on the elevator and as the doors closed, they hear Spike's voice speak:
"You are the passengers on a most uncommon elevator about to ascend into your very own episode of The Twilight Sparkle Zone."
Then the elevator rises while Fluttershy closes her eyes whimpering and Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie are excited. When it reached the next stop, the doors open and a bright light flashes, they see a long hotel corridor with a window at the other end. Just then, lightning flashes and the specters of those unlucky guests begin to appear. They motion for them to follow the specters, but suddenly the lightning strikes again and they vanish. Slowly the whole hallway disappears; everything but the window at the other end. All Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy can see are stars, blackness and the lone window staring back. Suddenly, the window begins to move. It mutates into the window from the opening of The Twilight Sparkle Zone, and then shatters. As the imagery ends the doors close and Spike narrarates again:
"One stormy night long ago, five people stepped in the door of an elevator and into a nightmare. That door is opening once again and this time, it's opening for you."
The elevator stops at the hallway as the doors open and it moves forward into another dimension. Ghostly images of those departed hotel guests surround the car. A giant eyeball stares at the three while Fluttershy scream. The elevator continues on as a cluster of lights beckon the car into the darkness. They once again hear Spike's voice speak:
"You are about to discover what lies beyond the fifth dimension, beyond the deepest, darkest corner of the imagination . . . in the Tower of Terror."
Then Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy notice the elevator stopped on the top and they see the whole view entire park, but then the elevator drops only to stop for a bit and then it goes back up and then it makes one long drop to the bottom.
Fluttershy cries as tears fall from her eyes like a waterfall, while Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie scream in delight and cheer along as they drop really fast into the bottom, until the elevator slowly lands on the bottom and they hear Spike's voice for the last time speak:
"A warm welcome back to those of you who made it, and a friendly word of warning, something you won't find in any guidebook: the next time you check into a deserted hotel on the dark side of Hollywood, make sure you know just what kind of vacancy you're filling, or you may find yourself a permanent resident . . . of The Twilight Zone."
Fluttershy then continues to shiver and weep until she sees Technomaru the earth pony, Crossover Princess the unicorn and Schreibabysidon the Pegasus outside and Crossover Princess then says to Technomaru, "See? Was it that bad?" Technomaru just smiles and says, "I guess you're right princess, now how about we go on "Phantom Manor" next?" Then Crossover Princess and Schreibabysidon then both nod and smile. This made Fluttershy cheer up a bit.
Pinkie Pie then says, "Well you did your part of the "pinkie promise" so I'll do mine!" Rainbow Dash then asks, "So Pinkie, what ride did you and Fluttershy want to go on?' Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie then make smiles of mischief and Rainbow Dash then seems a tad nervous...
(It's a Small World)
As Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy smile and sing along to the song, it slowly drives Rainbow Dash crazy as she shouts, "Make it stop... MAKE IT STOP!"
But Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy just sing along:
"It's a world of laughter, a world of tears,
its a world of hopes, its a world of fears,
there's so much that we share,
that its time we're aware,
its a small world after all!
Its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small, small world!"
Even to the point where Pinkie Pie jumps out the boat and join in the choir of animatronic ponies.
Rainbow Dash then continues to sweat in fear but it got even worse as the boat stops moving, then she hears the announcement:
"We apologize for the delay but until we can get the problem taken care of, the delay will last a hour and a half"
Then Rainbow Dash screams "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The Twilight Sparkle Zone theme plays as Spike appears on the boat behind theirs, ending the chapter with a monologue:
"Here we see Rainbow Dash, trapped in a void of pure annoyance for a hour and a half. But in Fluttershy's mind, she thinks that Rainbow Dash can dish it out but she can't take it. That and Fluttershy is happy that she has survived her visit to... The Twilight Sparkle Zone... Tower of Terror!
Hey wait, if I'm an invisible narrator then that means I can skip lines and get on "Daring-Do and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye" easily, C'ya!"
