> A Colgate Horror Story > by Trixiethefool > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Colgate used to be the loveliest of ponies, adoring her toothbrush and her sister, Crest. Whilst her sister was in the wonder bolts, she used to always watch her races. But when Crest was in a hurry one day, she ran into the bathroom and grabbed a toothbrush, one she assumed to be hers, and used it to brush her teeth, Colgate walked into the room with roses in a vase to wish her sister good luck. Crest looked at Colgate with the toothbrush in her mouth and said happily “Hi sister!” Colgate then saw that her favorite toothbrush was hanging out of Crest’s mouth. “You Monster!” Colgate screamed as she smashed the vase on the ground. “W-what?” Crest asked fearfully. “I will kill you!” Colgate yelled as she drove a piece of glass into Crest’s heart. She never got over it…she then went insane and killed anypony that visited, but she was still compassionate for her sister, because she put crest’s body in a coffin, laid a black rose onto it, and hid it away in the attic. > Part 1- Beginning > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon prodded the CMC into a Haunted House, saying if they didn’t they would be “Total Chickens.” “Well I’m not going.” Replied Apple Bloom “Chicken… BOCK BOCK…” mocked Diamond Tiara "SEE APPLEBLOOM! THAT'S HOW YOU CALL A CHICKEN!" Exclaimed Scootaloo Apple Bloom gave her a glare and walked inside, followed by Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. The door slammed shut behind them with a *Whoosh* “What was that?!?” Exclaimed Apple Bloom “It was just the door!” Exclaimed Scootaloo mumbling under her breath “and you call me a chicken!” afterwards. "That is only because you ARE A CHICKEN!" yelled Applebloom “Stop fighting you two!” exclaimed Sweetie Belle. The two stopped fighting and both looked at her. “We have to get through here and show Diamond Tiara what we are made of.” The two silently walked into the front room that connected to the front door and three hallways. “What now?” Asked Scootaloo to Sweetie Belle, who was in front and acting like the leader. “Well…” started Sweetie Belle, but before she was able to say anything Appleboom yelled out that she was not going with Scootaloo as she ran down the left hallway in anger "WHAT!? YOU THINK I'M GOING WITH HER!? YOU MUST BE CRAZY!” yelled Scootaloo as she stormed down the hall to the right. Sweetie Belle had to make a decision. “I’m done helping them!” concluded Sweetie Belle as she went down the hall in the middle. > Part 2- Apple Bloom > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple Bloom walked down the hall madly while thinking “Scootaloo is so stupid…and Sweetie Belle thinks she is better than me!” “B..rsh B..rsh” “Wh-what was that…” Apple Bloom asked as she looked around the hall. “B..rsh!” Apple Bloom screamed and fell back into a room. Apple Bloom looked around the room. “Oh…it’s just a bathroom.” Apple Bloom stood up and looked at the sink, about 15 toothbrush holders with five in each one were on the sink. “Who needs that many toothbrushes?” Apple Bloom asked. She looked at the ground, there was some toothpas“B…RSH!!” It sounded louder and closer. Apple Bloom ran out of another door that leads to the bathroom. Apple Bloom locked the door that led to the room and then ran to another door across the room and also locked it. She looked around “I think I’m safe in here…” “You think so Huh?” Said a figure at the other side of the room “What!?!” Apple Bloom screamed absolutely terrified and threw a tooth brush that was on the bed at the figure. “Oww!” the shadow turned on the lights…it was Scootaloo with a voice changer. “Scootaloo! It was you the whole time! You made the Brrrssshhh..” Apple Bloom imitated as best as she could. “I hate you so much Scootaloo!” “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… Scootaloo and Apple Bloom exchanged glances “RUN!” Scootaloo and Apple Bloom ran out of the door opposite of the knocking, which was the one opposite to the bathroom. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom emerged in a dining hall. With two other exits. “We both take one” asked Scootaloo. “Brsh! Brsh!” “No! Wait!” yelled Apple Bloom as Scootaloo ran down the right hall. Apple Bloom looked at her surroundings in the hall. There were candles up on the walls and tooth paste on the marble flooring. “Why would there be toothpaste on the ground here? The bathroom is on the other side of the house…” When it then struck her… literally > Part 3- Scootaloo > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. > Part 4- Sweetie Belle > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sweetie Belle walked down the hallway thinking “I hate it when they fight…” “Brushie! BRUSHIE!” A shadowy figure exclaimed at the end of the hallway “What?” Exclaimed Sweetie Belle “It is a trick of shadows.” Yelled a voice as the shadow cleared up and a ghostly pony wearing a ripped up wonder bolts costume appeared. “Please…Don’t hurt me” Sweetie Belle asked the ghost. “I won’t I’m here to do the opposite, im here to save you.” “So what’s your name?” asked Sweetie Belle, trusting the ghost a bit more. “I am Crest!” She said aloud “Oh… okay Crest!” Sweetie Belle said aloud also. “Child, you will have to bring down an evil force, and risk everything…” Sweetie Belle answered before Crest could finish “Yes… I accept” Crest the ghost smiled “You will need to give everything you have! With your acceptance, I bestow upon you the rest of my strength!” The ghost bowed her head down and disappeared into the wind. “I can do this!” yelled Sweetie Belle Sweetie Belle ran down the hall throwing every door open along the way. She retrieved a backpack, a glowing iron sword and then she heard the swift sound of a pony’s hooves running. Sweetie Belle drew her sword and walked down the hallway. She peered around the corner to see who was running around. She saw Apple Bloom and Scootaloo in a dining hall, then split up down two halls. “I don’t have time for that right now, I have to find… who do I have to find again? Crest never told me…” Sweetie Belle shrugged off the thought Crest noticed from the afterlife that Sweetie Belle was going insane with power, so she instead gave Sweetie Belle her courage and kind-heart. “My friends!” Sweetie Belle noticed *He He He* “Do you really think you can save them…when your dead!” Mocked a voice Sweetie Belle whirled around. “Show your face now!” “Why, so you can use Crest’s magical gifts?” Sweetie Belle noticed without Crest she could not do this. She thought to Crest “Take back what you have given…I can do this…” “A-are you sure, because I mean, this Colgate she is pretty strong” “I’m sure…” answered Sweetie Belle Sweetie Belle then felt normal again. “He he he!” Sweetie Belle followed the noise. “He he!” Scootaloo stood face to face with Colgate, drew her sword and charged. Colgate threw a toothbrush at Sweetie Belle’s hand and she dropped the Sword. Colgate then rammed the astonished unicorn onto the ground and held her favored weapon and toothbrush: Brushie, a toothbrush tipped with a sharp, steel blade, over Sweetie Belle’s throat. “Sister, that isn’t very nice, treating our guests like that” The ghost of Crest told Colgate Colgate turned her head and looked at Crest “Sister?” Sweetie Belle then grabbed the toothbrush Colgate threw at her and broke it, ramming the sharp part into Colgate’s chest. “Sister, you can join me…” Crest told her sister “Yes… I think I would like that” Said a confused Colgate, unaware of her insanity. Both of the sister’s ghosts then disappeared. “I cant believe I just…killed a pony” Said an astonished Sweetie Belle. > Part 5- The Conclusion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most of Ponyville flooded the house calling for Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom. Rarity came into the hall Sweetie Belle stood in over Colgate’s dead body. “Oh! I was so worried!” Said a relieved Rarity. The two sisters hugged until they heard crying coming from nearby. The walked together to the noise. “No… Apple Bloom…” Said woeful Applejack holding her sister. Blood ran down a cut in her back. “Cough Cough” Apple Bloom muttered “You have been the best sister. Ever…” “No! You can’t die!” Applejack said, too late, tears streaming down her face. “Its okay…she has moved on to a better place” said Rarity trying to console Applejack. “I guess you are right…” admitted Applejack, trying to wipe her tears So everything went back to normal, except for the fact that Colgate’s house was demolished, and Apple Bloom’s grave is in her school’s playground, under her favorite tree.
