//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: SCP Containment Breach: A New Reality // by Silence_EXE //------------------------------// Pinkie Pie had just finished working at Sugarcube Corner. Bouncing around as usual, she closed up shop for the day and whizzed off to the Castle of Friendship to help Twilight with her brand-new spell. Twilight had told her that even she didn't know what would happen when the spell was used, but Pinkie didn't really mind that. 'After all, I just want to help my friends!' Pinkie thought happily. 'And I'm sure nothing bad will happen, Twilight always knows what she's doing!' She gave a giggle and continued bouncing to the castle, giving a balloon to a sad-looking foal along the way. "Pinkie, are you sure you want to do this?" Twilight asked, looking rather concerned. "I don't know what the spell will do, or if it'll have any consequences. It could be really dangerous!" The rest of Pinkies' friends all nodded in agreement, except for Rainbow, whom spoke with a look of excitement on her face. "But I bet it'll be really cool!" The other ponies, except for Pinkie, all glared at Rainbow. Rainbow glanced around at her friends' faces sheepishly. "I mean... Yeah, it's really dangerous, Pinkie! You really shouldn't do it!" Rainbow said, trying to cover for her statement. The others turned their attention back to Pinkie Pie, whom giggled happily. "Awww, girls, you don't have to worry about me! I'll be fine! Let Twilight do her spell," Pinkie said, a huge smile on her face. "Go on, Twilight! And maybe if it works, I can throw a super awesome Twilight-Found-A-New-Spell-And-It-Works party! Ooh, I can hardly wait to start planning!" Pinkie bounced in place, anxious to begin. Her friends looked anxious, Twilight especially, but Twilight began her spell anyway. Pinkie felt a tickling sensation, and started giggling uncontrollably, squeezing her eyes shut. As the spell finished, Pinkie felt a weird rushing feeling, which finally stopped after a few moments. "Ooh, Girls, did it work, did it, did it?!?!?" Pinkie asked, giggling again, her eyes still closed tightly. To her surprise, there was no answer. "Um... Girls? Do you know if it worked? Do you?" Pinkie asked, again to no avail. Opening her eyes, she took in her surroundings, wondering where she was. She felt slightly worried. "Girls? Twilight? Dashie? AJ? Where are you?" she called out. There was no answer. Pinkie opened the door to the room she was in, peeking out. There was a long, clean white hallway in front of her, but still no sign of her friends. Pinkie looked around, frightened. Her ears went back on her head, as she called out again. "GIRLS? TWILIIIIIIIIGHT? DASHIIIIEEE? AAAAAJJJJJJ? WHERE ARE YOU? DID THE SPELL WORK? CAN YOU HEAR ME? IS THIS SOME KIND OF PRANK?" she called, a note of uneasiness in her voice. When there was no answer, Pinkie began to tremble. Tears filled her eyes as she realized she was entirely alone. She curled up. "G-Girls? Wh-Where are you?" she whispered. She looked around once more, before beginning to tremble again. "Th-This isn't funny..." Pinkie whispered, softly crying. She looked up at the bare and unwelcoming hallway before her. "This isn't funny at all..."
