Count's Traveling Haunted House

Down We Go!

Stellar Eclipse was the first pony to come out of the magical traveling tunnel. He was thankful that his moves at the skate park helped him in his movements and balance during his unexpected trip through the tube. However, his landing into the mysterious hallways was not as smooth as his ride. Even though he landed with the perfect skid halt, his landing was accompanied by a loud Screeeech! He could just feel his precious wheels getting murdered during this. He prayed that the sparks coming out this "screech" didn't set his wheels on fire.

Once his landing was complete, he quickly looked all around the chair like a worried mother hen. Checking to see if his chair and wheels survived the trip. He sighed in relief seeing that his chair and wheels were still okay. He can still stroll around, although later tonight, he probably have to tighten some bolts and buff out some scratches. But he will worry about that later.

Stellar looked around the hallway to see where in the world he was at. He noticed that the hallway with lit with blue torches and small stone raven statues holding these torches near the ceiling. It looked like it was a short hallway with a suspicious turning corner to the front of him, just five feet away. He was about to explore it when he heard a raspy, female, and echoing scream coming from the tunnel on the wall.

He immediately looked into the tunnel and saw a light blue and rainbow maned pony coming towards him. He let out a soft "Oh no."

Rainbow Dash crashed Stellar Eclipse right in the face, making the two ponies fall harshly into the stone floor. Rainbow Dash was on top of Stellar, she started to rub the side of her head with a couple of groans and grumbles. When she was able to open her eyes, she was surprised to see the brown pony underneath her.

She instantly started flapping her wings and got off her new friend, worried that her weight crushed his stomach or his spine or his legs. She panicked and exclaimed "Oh Stellar! I'm-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to..!"

Stellar Eclipse slowly lifted his head and his upper body, while adding a couple of mumbles of pain. He answered Rainbow Dash "It's alright Rainbow. Don't worry, just like you, I'm a lot tougher than I look." Then he added a wink at the end of his statement.

The wink made Rainbow smirk at him as well as giggle at him. She helped pull him back on his wheels. Their little crash didn't cause any more damage to his chair. They gave each other a smile, however Rainbow then realized something, "Hold on a minute! Were you saying I don't look tough?"

Rainbow Dash, while still in the air, gave Stellar a slightly angered look. She even placed her front hooves on her hips to highlight her point. Stellar Eclipse stayed calm through this and smiled. He responded "I didn't say that."

He teased Rainbow by sticking his tongue a little, but before quickly bringing his tongue back in his mouth. He smirked during this little tease. This only made Rainbow furious, as she began to growl at him. Her growl only made Stellar burst out laughing.

Rainbow cried out "That's it!"

The skeleton Pegasus chased the cyborg Pegasus down the hall by air. Stellar's laughter echoed loudly throughout the mysterious hallway. Rainbow was surprised how fast he was on his damaged chair of his, but that didn't discouraged her from chasing him.

Stellar Eclipse was very satisfied in his mind, knowing he was doing all the right things in making Rainbow Dash his friend. At least, according to what Discord said in terms of making friends with Rainbow. Either way, he had fun creating a bond with Rainbow Dash.

When Stellar finally went around that sketchy corner, he discovered why this hallway was so short. He saw a swirling, deep, staircase going at least ten floors down into the shadows of the castle. He also paid great attention to the fact that the stair had no steps. So it looked like a giant terrifying slide. He halted right away when he saw this.

Rainbow Dash finally caught up with Stellar, and saw the reason why her prey stopped. She let out a deep and mischievous little smile on her face. She still kept this expression as she hanged her head upside down in front of Stellar's face. Once Stellar saw this, he expressed a nervous look on his face just begging 'Please don't'.

Rainbow instantly kicked down the lock switch on the side of his chair, which forced Stellar to sit down on his butt. She also pushed on the button that let out to extra wheels on the back end of Stellar's wheels in the front. This made him looked like a pony go chart. Rainbow hitched on Stellar's back, holding tight on his shaggy mane. She let out a deep but epic "Oh yeah" while looking into the staircase with determination and excitement.

Stellar Eclipse whimpered "I'm sorry."

Rainbow furiously flapped her wings, making them buzz at hyper speed like a bee. This made the two ponies fly down the staircase like a roller coaster. Rainbow let out an echoing "Wooooohoooo!" on her roller coaster ride, while Stellar screamed like a filly all the way down.
