The Following Evening...

"I still don't see why we all had to come here," Rarity complained. "It's dreadfully wet outside, and a good night to be in front of the fire with wine instead of out and about. Although I can't complain about being with my friends, I do dislike the rain. It creates such a mess."
"I like it," Fluttershy said. "The rain is good for the plants, and then the plants grow big so the little animals can eat them."
Rainbow shook her head. "But we're not here for plants or wine, we're here for mystery and suspense! For drama and terror!" She flailed her hooves in the air, as if to make a point.
Fluttershy's ears pinned back. "Oh, that might be a bit much, perhaps I should go..." She rose from her seat and started heading for the door.
"Park it, Shy!" Rainbow commanded. Flutters yelped and immediately assumed a sitting position.
"Don't yell at Fluttershy," Twilight said. "She's free to leave if she feels like it."
Rainbow continued, excitedly. "I've filled you all in on the events which were in last nights episode, and tonight we're gonna find out what happened at Crystal Lake!"
Rarity made a face. "I don't like the name Crystal Lake, darling. It emits a sense of danger and unfortunate circumstance, and makes one thing of deranged killer ponies."
Twilight snorted. "Equestria is a big place, I'm sure there are several Crystal Lakes. You'd have to be fairly ignorant to immediately associate the events of one Crystal Lake with all the other ones."
"Who are we cheering for, again?" Fluttershy asked. "I want to know who the nice ponies are."
"Don't worry, it's a mystery show, and there's always this one group who goes around solving them," Rainbow said. "They- oh, it's starting! I'll have to fill you in later!"
"I look forward to it," Spike chimed in. He'd been sitting with Twilight, rubbing his eyes with sleep. The radio program was on in the late evening, and he should have been in bed by now.
"Be nice, Spike," Twilight whispered. "Rainbow really likes this show."
Rainbow turned up the volume dial on the radio, and spooky music filled the room.
"They always start with recapping the night before," Rainbow said. "And then the story moves forward."
The music pitched up and down with particularly inconsistent clarity, and Rainbow Dash groane and shook the small radio. "Ugh, come ON," she complained. "This old thing never works right. Twilight, can you see if you can fix it?"
"I'm not too good with radios," Twilight admitted. "But I can try." She walked slowly towards it, examining the device from every angle. Her horn lit up with a bright purple aura, and the aura encased the radio in its clutches.
"I just have to do a bit of tweaking, and I should hopefully be able to fix the sound," Twilight said. "I just have to adjust the frequency, and..."
Without any further warning, the radio shot up towards the ceiling, and hovered in the air. It was giving off violent purple sparks of electricity, no longer making noise of any kind.
"That doesn't look like you fixed it," Fluttershy said quietly.
Gusts of wind began to pick up inside the Library, air beginning to circulate around the radio at a dangerously rapid velocity. 
"What did you do?!" Rainbow demanded.
"I just increased the sound clarity!" Twilight insisted. "It was supposed to make everything sound more realistic!"
Rarity was the first to be caught in the circulating current, and gave a cry of dismay as she lifted off the floor.
"If we ever manage to fix this, I'm calling a town meeting about your magical mishaps! Perhaps that will supply you with a decent dose of realism!" Rarity complained, the wind pulling her backwards towards the radio.
Fluttershy whimpered but saw that Rarity was in trouble, and grabbed onto her front legs. The two still yet were pulled backwards, with Rarity's back legs disappearing into the vortex. Rainbow Dash took hold of Fluttershy's back legs, trying to pull both her friends to the ground, but still the gravitational force increased and pulled them all backwards.
"This is not what I had in mind for a nice quiet evening..." Fluttershy whimpered.
Twilight was last on the ground, and took hold of Rainbow's back legs, in a desperate attempt to get them all back onto the ground.
"Turn it off, Twilight!" Rainbow yelled over the wind.
"I can't! I don't know what went wrong!"	
Twilight felt her hooves leave the ground, and struggled without success. The girls were pulled backward, and Spike leaped forward to grab hold of Twilight's tail before it swung out of reach. With a final cry of fear and a blinding flash of purple light, the radio fell from the ceiling and clattered to the ground.
The wind had subsided.
The Library was empty.
