Luigi's Mansion or Fatal Frame?

Ah, nice choice. Mind if I ask which inspired this story more?

.....I like it. Also tracking

8697474 Oh, which inspired it? Neither, this was more so the result of me wanting to write something serious... and it sort developed into what this is. If I had to answer that though, this would be significantly closer to Luigi's Mansion.

Cool. I'll make sure to read this.

Ps Rainbow didn't insult the sweater Sunset did.

And this is why Vertigo has no friends. :rainbowkiss:

That was interesting and very funny. Into tracking you go! :rainbowkiss: ~ Mintstar

Ps bring the others on visit 2

8700518 There's going to be an intermission-visit (per-se) between this one and Visit 2, which will involve Sunset and Rainbow bringing Fluttershy.

I meant all of them so they could get "Other mommy"

"Although you say that with confidence..." Aurora said in monotone, "I can see it within you. You're afraid. Very afraid. You wish to do nothing more than laugh in the fact of your fear and hide your true emotions so you will not be looked upon as a coward." Aurora stopped and faced Rainbow. "You seem to have picked up this tactic from a friend of yours. Tell me: has it worked for you here?"

Courage is not the absence of fear, it is pressing on in spite of that fear. That aside looking good so far.

8712022 Uhh... don't you apply logic to my horsewords. Thanks for the correction there.

This was a great story:twilightsmile:. Silly, spooky, intense, and heartwarming all at once.

I'll follow to hopefully see sequels and spin-off short stories to this since there are so many scenarios to work with: one being the rest of Sunset and Rainbow's friends meeting Laney and the rest of her deceased family. If Twilight is a skeptic and doesn't believe in ghosts; boy she's going to be reduced to neurotic mess when she gets proven that she's been wrong:rainbowlaugh:.

Sunset and the rest of the girls definitely have built up a reputation for making the most unusual friends; so who's to say ghosts shouldn't be an exception to their circle, right?:moustache:

Why did you mark this as complete?

8764208 I'll just write a sequel for the sake of it, rather than add to this. It'll be a little bit easier on me, and allow for spin-off stories to work better.

i love this story, and i sympathized a tiny little bit, cause my family is also broken up, though my step mother is an infinty of miles away from being as screwed up as valery, she is awful in a LOT of ways

This is the best story I’ve ever seen! I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE IT!! 😍😍😍 CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER EEEEK **mY sHiP iS sAiLinG sO gOOd, aNd aLso mAke sOme pARts tHat iNvoLvEs sHiPPinG oF sUndAsh wiLL yA? :D**

This was fun, hope to someday see a sequel.

Guess "Mommy" didn't know: GROUNDINGS BEGET POUNDINGS!

“Other Mommy has really good hearing,” the child said. “Other Mommy can even hear when Cousin Larry uses the ghostly bathroom after he eats his spicy burrito.” The child paused. “Actually, bad example; everyone in the house can hear that.”

:pinkiesick: euuwww

Chapters 2-4 have the lyrics from Surrender by Cheap Trick in which the song was also used in Guardians Of The Galaxy volume 2.

Welcome to Watchmojo.com and today we’re counting down the Top 10 Most Satisfying Deaths in FimFiction.

Number 10: Valery from The Mansion in the Woods

Wow, did not expect this fic to be this good. The kid was actually an amazing character. Like, I'm loving her right now. The villain was actually fun, and Rainbow's taunts was something else. The fight scenes were good as well but i am kind of wondering how in the hell did they survive? I'm sorry but they should have died a long time ago with all that tossing into the walls. Fun tho, but if i had to say one thing is that the healing powers Aurora has was kind of bullshit. It would have been way more entertaining to see the other girls reactions at the wounds and bruises that Rainbow and Sunset had and actually comment on it. Overall, i would strongly recommend that fic. Four chapters, but four chapters well written.

I'll actually try and see what other works the author has.
