//------------------------------// // Part 3- Scootaloo // Story: A Colgate Horror Story // by Trixiethefool //------------------------------// Scootaloo walked down the hallway saying “Apple Bloom is such a CRYBABY! I mean this isn’t even scary… it’s just old.” *Clank* *Clank* Someone was walking around “I-it’s just Apple Baby…Or Sweetie Boss.” She said unsurely, but still mad at her friends. *Clank Clank* Scootaloo started to run down her hall. *Crash* A loud noise from down the hall. Scootaloo turned and opened and slammed a door shut. *Clank Clank Clank…Clank Clank Clank* Somepony walked past the door, hesitated, then kept walking. Scootaloo waited for about 5 minutes still processing her fear, then She put her hoof uplooking for a light, until she grabbed something and pulled *Click* it was the light. “Woah!” Scootaloo exclaimed quietly as she looked around the small closet. Fireworks, whoopee cushions, and other pranks loitered the wall. Scootaloo looked for something to prank her friends with, forgetting about the pony snooping around, bedazzled by the sight. Scootaloo ran her hoof against the wall. *Click* A small container came out of the wall. “Secret…” Scootaloo said mesmerized. She grabbed it and opened it seizing the treasure it held inside, a voice changer! Scootaloo took some streamers and tied the voice changer to her waist, making a belt. She then turned around and opened the door cautiously, ears perked, listening for anypony, then she looked around the hall. After she verified nopony was near she snuck down the hall, to try to find her friend. She snuck down the hall until she came to an amazing master bedroom, mirrored by a fancy dining hall. She walked into the Bedroom, tired from sneaking all this way. It was filled with a bed with wonder bolts logo stitched into it. A picture of a white pony waving next to fellow wonder bolts. *Boom* came from the other door, as Scootaloo quickly bounded into the shadows, voice changer ready to scare off any monster. “Who needs that many toothbrushes?” A familiar voice asked. “Yes! It is Apple Bloom, this is gonna be hilarious!” thought scootaloo, almost letting out a loud snort. Apple Bloom walked into the room and locked the door, ran to the door scootaloo had just come from and also locked it. “I think I’m safe in here…” Apple Bloom said assured. “You think so Huh?” Asked Scootaloo using the voice changer determined to scare her friend. “What!?!” Apple Bloom screamed absolutely terrified and then threw a tooth brush at Scootaloo. “Oww…” Scootaloo whined as Apple Bloom switched on the lights. “Scootaloo! It was you the whole time! You made the Brrrssshhh..” Apple Bloom tried to imitate whatever she heard “I hate you so much Scootaloo!” Apple Bloom yelled as she crossed her arms “I-I didn’t make a Brsh noise…” Whispered Scootaloo concerned. “What… of course you did! Who else could have done it..” *Bang!* A knock at the door that Apple Bloom had previously entered from. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom exchanged glances “RUN!” They both yelled as Apple Bloom unlocked the door adjacent to the knocking and they ran out. They ran into a dining hall. Scootaloo figured if they split up, their chaser might get confused and go somewhere else. “Split up?” Offered Scootaloo as she started to run down the hall closest to her. “No!” She heard Apple Bloom yell faintly, as she got farther and farther from her friend. Absolutely terrified, Scootaloo dashed down the hall, until she started to hear the Pursuer coming recklessly. Scootaloo took a turn and opened a closet and closed, and locked the door as fast as she could. *Clank Clank, Clank Clank* Scootaloo heard the pursuer walk down the hall, and walk past. “Woah! That was too close” Scootaloo thought to herself. She reached up to try to turn on lights like last time, except she felt something squishier, Scootaloo drew her hand back and searched the wall for a switch *Click* the light flipped on, as Discord’s head fell from a rack at the top of the closet. Scootaloo almost screamed, but covered her mouth because there was somepony nearby. Scootaloo then noticed a rope latter heading up, Scootaloo climbed it, not hesitating at all, until she got to an attic. She looked around as the light from a window illuminated the room. Scootaloo’s head stopped as she saw a coffin propped up at the side of the room. “Oh my Celestia!” She thought “Yes… Not a very pretty site is it…” said a voice in her head sadly “Who are you!?” Scootaloo thought to the voice “I am the pony in that coffin, Crest, sister of your pursuer, Colgate.” “What happened to my friends? Do you know?” Asked Scootaloo, tears starting down her face. “Sweetie Belle is safe, she will defeat Colgate, and I can feel it!” “And…Apple Bloom?” Scootaloo asked guiltily “…” Replied the voice “Oh…” Scootaloo sighed sadly. “But you can get out, jump out the window!” Commanded Crest “But it will hurt…” replied Scootaloo “Do it for Apple Bloom…Her ghost isn’t strong enough to talk to you, but I have guided her to Celestia’s Garden in the sky. She wants you to live” “Okay! I-I will!” Scootaloo exclaimed determined to fill her friend’s last wish. “Oh…and please tell Apple Bloom I’m sorry” Tears started to run down her face again. “For making fun of her… telling her to split up… for everything” “I will” Replied Crest, moved by Scootaloo’s wish. Scootaloo walked up to the window, took a deep breath. “I’m ready” she whispered to Apple Bloom and Crest as she jumped.
