//------------------------------// // Halloween Special: Part 1 // Story: My New Life // by YoshiBrony6 //------------------------------// The sound of a fan was the only thing that could be heard. This fan was located inside of an office in which 8 ponies were located. To name them, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. The first to stir was Applejack, due to her being an early riser for farm work. As she looked around the small office, she was met with a peculiar sight. What is this place? She thought to herself. Looking around her, she noticed her fellow ponies around her. "Oh shoot!" Applejack rushed over to Rainbow and quickly shook her awake. "Huh? What's going on?" Rainbow asked, still half asleep. That soon changed as she got a good look around her. "Where are we?" She asked. "I have no idea," Applejack admitted, causing the blue pegasus to look at her, "But I reckon we should wake the others first." The two ponies set to work on waking everypony up. All of them responded with the same 'Where are we?' question. As though it could sense everypony's consciousness, after the ponies had woken up completely, a ringing sound filled the room. All movement stopped as the ringing continued to sound out. Eventually, a click was heard and a voice sounded out from seemingly nowhere. "Hello, hello?" A familiar voice asked. "ANDREW?!" Everypony yelled. "Heh, yep that's me." Andrew said. "Where are you?" Twilight asked. "I think the better question is 'Where am I not?', Twilight." "What do you mean?" "Currently, you are all in one dream, a dream that I have complete control over. So, me being me, I decided to have some fun." Andrew said, putting an emphasis on 'fun'. "So that's what you needed me to do when you asked for a favour!" Luna declared, glaring into the roof. "Yep! Now, let me get you settled in. The world you are currently in would have to be one of the most popular horror games." Andrew said. "H-H-H-Horror?" Fluttershy stuttered. "Uh huh! And now you get to live it! Well, dream it, but who cares about technicalities?" Twilight raised her hoof. "Except Twilight, who we all know is the biggest nerd." "You're just as big of a nerd!" Celestia retorted. "Ouch. My feels." Andrew replied flatly. "Anyway, lemme read the introductory greeting for you. Ahem. Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza! A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life!" "That doesn't sound so bad." Pinkie commented. Fluttershy nodded in agreement. "Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced." "Nevermind!" Pinkie sang. Fluttershy's eyes just widened. "And done! Now, I know that might sound bad-" "You think?!" Rainbow yelled. "But there's really nothing to be worried about, you'll be fine!" Andrew continued, "Just a word of warning, the animatronics do get a bit quirky at night and... well, I'll let you find out for yourselves." Andrew said ominously. "Can you elaborate further?" Rarity asked. "Nope! Nor do I want to. It'll be more fun this way." Andrew said. "Now, the animatronics do tend to wander a bit at night, just so their servos don't lock up. They used to be able to walk around during the day too, but then The Bite of '87 happened." "The bite?" Twilight asked. "Oops! Said too much! Anyway, the only real danger here is if they see you. Now, the problem here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is that the animatronics won't recognize you as a person. You see, there's a rule against endoskeletons being outside of their suit, so they'll try to forcefully put you inside of one. Now, this wouldn't be a problem if the suits weren't filled with crossbeams, wires and other devices. Especially around the facial area." "What are you tryin' to say?" Applejack asked. "Hold your horses, I'm getting to it! If you were forcefully put inside an animatronic suit, it may result in a bit of discomfort with a side-effect of death." Andrew said. "WHAT?!" Everypony shouted. "Yeah, the only parts that would see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask." "I think I'm going to be sick." Rarity and Fluttershy muttered. "Okay, first day should be a breeze, I'l talk to you again tomorrow." "WAIT!" Celestia shouted. "Yes?" Andrew asked. "You didn't tell us how things work!" "Oh yeah. Forgot you don't have these things. Okay, on the desk you'll see a giant screen. Normally it would be a small tablet but this way everyone can see. Next, see the buttons in front of it? They are labelled with each camera name. There is a map of the facility in the bottom-right-hand corner of the screen. Press the buttons to change to the corresponding camera. The far left button turns them on and off. It's the only green one, so just remember that." Pinkie started spamming the power button. "Now, the doors to your left and right all have a light to see just outside and a button to close them. Having the door closed drains power as does using the camera. On the wall behind you is a small screen that has your power percentage left. Next to that is a digital clock that tells you the time. Survive until 6 am and you win! Have fun!" The click came back. "Andrew?" Luna called out. He didn't respond. "Okay everypony, here's what's happening!" Twilight announced grabbing everypony's attention in the room. "Applejack and Rainbow Dash, guard the doors and tell us if something's there. Pinkie-" *Honk* ... ... ... ... *Honk* "Hehe." Pinkie giggled. "Just keep doing what you're doing, I guess...?" Twilight looked around. Everypony, including the Princesses, shrugged back. "Fluttershy and Rarity, keep an eye on the time and how much power we have left. Princesses, use the cameras and rely us information that you get from them." "Aye aye!" They all snapped off salutes and went off to do their assigned job. Celestia and Luna giggled as they checked through the cameras. *Honk* *Honk* *Honk* *Honk* *Honk* *Honk* "I'm bored!" Rainbow exclaimed. "Ugh!" The rest of the Mane 6 groaned. "One of them has moved!" Celestia announced. "Which one?" Twilight asked. "The purple bunny!" "Try and find it if you can." Twilight said. "Uh, girls? We've only got 78% left." Fluttershy said. "And it's only 2:00 am!" Rarity added. "Turn off those camera-" "AAAAHHHH!!!!" Celestia and Luna screamed. Everypony raced to look at the screen, but screamed and back off themselves. "W-W-W-What is that thing?!" Rarity screamed. "Turn off the cameras!" Pinkie yelled. Luna quickly reacted and hit the power button. Everypony breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't think I want to turn those on again." Luna said. "Then let's leave them off for a while." Twilight said. Everypony hastily agreed. ~~~ 3:30 ~~~ "Anything at the doors?" Twilight asked. "Hold on, lemme check." Rainbow said. She quickly found that she couldn't fly, so she trotted over to the door and turned on the lights. "AAAAHHH!" Everypony turned at the scream. "Close the door close the door close the door!!!" They all yelled. Rainbow quickly hit the door button, closing the door before the bunny could walk inside. "Phew, that was close." Rainbow sighed. "Note to self: We should check the doors more often." Twilight said to herself. "How much power do we have?" Celestia asked while her student was distracted. "38%, Princess." Rarity replied. "And time?" "3:37." "Still have two and a half hours left." Luna commented. "Then let's make it count!" Applejack stated. ~~~ 5:28 ~~~ "Have the monitors been turned on recently?" Twilight asked. Celestia shook her head. "Not since that bunny got close to it." "Turn them on and check everything." "Are you sure?" Twilight nodded. Celestia turned the on switch, unable to use magic, and started flicking through the cameras, taking her time in inspecting each one. In Pirate Cove, however... "Is that supposed to be there?" The curtains were open and a sign was placed there with writing saying 'It's me'. Celestia continued flicking through the cameras, and when she got to the West Hallway, something was running down it. "Close the left door! Quickly!" She shouted. Rainbow jumped at the button and closed it just before a loud banging could be heard on the other side. No pony spoke. ... ... ... ... ... *Honk* "That was too close." Luna said. "I agree." Celestia said. "There's only 2% power remaining." Fluttershy said. "What?!" Everypony whirled towards Fluttershy. "Turn the cameras off!" Twilight shouted. Luna ran over to the power button and quickly pressed it. "1%." No pony moved a muscle as the lights turned off. Footsteps could be heard as they all waited in the darkness. Suddenly, music started playing out of the blue. A face suddenly appeared from the darkness, shocking them all into paralysis. The music suddenly stopped and the face went away, causing the room to go completely dark. More footsteps. Closer. Closer. Closer. A bell started chiming as the clock behind the ponies turned to 6 am, children's cheers filling their ears. Before any of them could comprehend what was happening, they were whisked away to another room in front of a grinning Andrew. "How was your first night?" He asked.
