//------------------------------// // Night 1 // Story: Pizzaria Of Alicorns // by KnuxChangeling //------------------------------// Abby looked through the monitor, now aware that she had to conserve energy. She looked at the remaining power she had: 97%. Good, she should get through the night just fine. Abby turned off the monitor and looked out the doorways on either side and sat back down yawning. Dear Celestia this was BORING!!!! She thought she would die of boredom before 2 AM hit. A noise, shuffling perhaps, reached her ears. Abby turned to her right and turned on the light. What was there almost sent her reeling out of her chair. The blue alicorn with the cerulean mane was there staring at Abby with a razor sharp smile. What was with her eyes? Abby didn't have time to really look because the animatronic was stepping closer to her door. Abby quickly closed the door and checked the door to her left peeking her head out. A dark silhouette of a pony stood at the far end at the beginning of the hall. "What the hay is going on", Abby said. She sat back down to wait for the robot to come over. She checked the power usage: 87%. Ok ok going well but it's still dropping. Abby put a hoof to her chest feeling her heart. It felt like a war hammer being pounded against her ribs and her breaths came in short, shallow gasps. She was also swearing making the fur on her face damp. Shaking, Abby turned to the door as the pony with the white coat appeared at the door with a smile. "W-what's wr-r-rong cha-a-amp", the robot stuttered taking a step into the office. Abby instinctively took a step back but she remembered there were doors to separate her and the killer bot. Pressing the button the door slammed shut. The robot knocked on the door, slammed on it, then ceased seeing it was futile. Abby checked the monitor and saw that the brown pony hadn't moved. "Please, I don't want to hurt you," a voice said. Abby looked outside and saw the white pony staring back at her with wide eyes. The pony looked.....alive. It was almost like there was an actual pony underneath the wires and metal. Looking back she saw the blue pony was gone so she opened the door but looked back at the white pony. It looked sad and hurt. Was a robot capable of such emotions? She wasn't going to find out so she put a hoof to the window. The robot surprisingly mimicked her movement. "Maybe tomorrow night", Abby said through the window. As if understanding, the white robot pony nodded and walked away. Abby looked down in sadness and guilt. She should've let her in, she needed the help. Opening the door, Abby looked back at the monitor checking where everypony was. The purple alicorn was peeking out from her cave with her icy blue eyes glowing in the deep darkness of the pizzaeria. "I need to keep an eye on that one", Abby muttered to herself. She checked the power again before putting the monitor down. Now, she was going to play it by ear. She didn't want to waste any more power than she needed to. A few minutes after 4 AM she heard it. The sound of hooves beating on the floor. Abby dared a look out the door to see the light purple pony running toward her office. Shrieking, the door slammed down as Abby pushed the button. The sound of hooves trying to beat down the door was heard. The monitor showed the light purple pony beating down on the door and then looking up at the camera. Abby started shaking, her heart wanting to leap out her throat and run. But run where? There's no where to go and she's trapped! "L-Let me i-i-in girl'', the robot mused tilting it's head to the side. No no go to Tautauraus", Abby shouted. The robot scowled then ran back to its cave. Abby listened until the sound of hooves disappeared. Abby wasn't feeling up to it anymore but in some way it was........fun. She decided to stay at least two more nights to see how difficult the nights became. Then, she heard it. The sounds of six bells told her it was six AM and it was music to her ears. "YEEEEAAAAAAA", Abby shouted as she trotted out of the pizzeria. It seemed to be an easy night. It was easy to find out what was going on besides the fact that it was boring. Abby looked at each robot in turn, their smiling faces hiding what was truly underneath. Abby scowled then left the establishment into the streets beyond. She only realized that she was tired when she opened the door to her apartment and flopped on her bed groaning. That was a long night. Before she could even laugh how she had survived, she drifted off into a deep sleep.
