//------------------------------// // Electric Boogalo or some other cliche title // Story: Pinkie P.I.E. // by AntiBronyBenSwolo //------------------------------// The P.I.E. Van parked near an old abandoned mansion in Canterlot. As the van parked, Johnny opened up the back to speak with Pinkie Pie. "OK, so we've examined the Sugar Cube Corner to search for any clues as to where the Toilet Toucher would have gone." Johnny Ghost explained as he grabbed a case of equipment from out the back of the van. "And this old place is where he most likely ended up?" Pinkie Pie asked, noting how old and dark the house is compared to the bright and cheery next-door houses. "Most likely, Ms. Pie." Johnny Toast explained as he armed Johnny Ghost and himself with handheld pistols. "Oh, and before we begin the investigation, Ms. Pie, would you like to have a weapon?" Johnny Toast asked Pinkie, examining the back of the van. "Yeah, sure. What'cha got?" Pinkie asked. Johnny Toast then scavenged through and handed Pinkie Pie a crossbar with glowing orange bolts for ammunition. The three investigators walked over the creepy abode and knocked on the door. After a few minutes of waiting for someone to open the door, Pinkie Pie spotted a dark shadow scurrying alongside the building. Trying her best not to panic, Pinkie stood by Ghost and Toast's side until the door was answered by a unicorn who apparently owned the resident. The unicorn had a white coat, with a blue mane, tail, and mustache, and wore a dashing tux and monocle. This was none other than the home of Fancy Pants, for some strange (and most likely stupid) reason. "Hello? To whom do I have the honor of speaking to?" The unicorn asked, as gentle as he can be. "Hello. We are P.I.E. Paranormal Investigators Extraordinaire, at your service." Johnny Ghost explained. Fancy Pants examined the two men and their companion mare carefully. "Ah, Pinkie, deary. How's your friend Rarity? Please send me regards to her." Fancy Pants said, causing Pinkie to giggle a little. "OK, I will do that for you." Pinkie responded, sticking her tongue out. The trio entered the building as Fancy Pants explained the situation for them. "As you probably can tell, I believe my house might be haunted, but I'm not entirely sure." Fancy Pants explained. "Well, no offence, that might be what you get when your house is the only grim looking house in a neighborhood full of bright and cheery buildings." Johnny Toast commented, as he believed this house would be perfect for an M-Rated video game of sorts. "Well, I agree with you. I asked the estate agent why it was so grim in comparison, and they said they didn't know either." Fancy Pants explained. "I think Canterlot needs better insurance agents." Johnny Ghost said, as he examined the house along with Pinkie. "Should we split up sir?" Johnny Toast asked. "Yeah, we probably should." Johnny Ghost said, as he pulled out a couple of devices and gave them to Johnny Toast and Pinkie. "If you see anything suspicious, or at the very least threatening your life, activate the beacons, and we'll come to you, OK?" Johnny Ghost said, as Johnny Toast and Pinkie nodded their heads in agreement. Pinkie toured the dark hallways of the house, with only her crossbow, her flashlight, and her beacon to accompany her. Every step she took creaked louder than the last, causing her heart to race faster and faster, and by the looks of things, she didn't seem as alone as she though. Suddenly, without warning, a flowery vase fell over and crashed onto the floor, gaining Pinkie's attention. There was no doubt there was someone, or something, here. "He-Hello? Mr. Ghosty McGhost Face?" Pinkie asked, shivering more after each word. She continued walking slower and slower, until the ghost she was looking for was right behind her. Pinkie turned around and finally saw the ghost. "HI, PHIL SWIFT HERE WITH FLEX-TAPE, THE SUPER STRONG WATERPROOF TAPE!" The ghost announced, as Pinkie Pie screamed out in pure fear, and made a quick run for it, knocking over another vase in the process. "NOW THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE!!!" The Ghost said, pointing to the second broken vase. Without hesitation, Pinkie Pie activated her beacon, and quickly ran to Johnny Ghost and Toast. As she ran, looking for the two professionals, Pinkie found herself stuck in a dead end, with the ghost closing in on her. "WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY SOME FLEXTAPE!?!?" The spirit asked, as though he were singing an annoying song about snowmen, only the spirit sounded demonic and distorted. Pinkie screamed once more, getting the attention of Johnny Ghost, who fired his pistol at the ghost and scared it off. "Oh my. Did you get it Mr. Ghost?" Fancy Pants asked, hiding behind Johnny Ghost. "No, it's still out there, but I'm pleased to inform you that the ghost is no longer haunting your house." Johnny Ghost explained, calming both Pinkie and Fancy Pants. "Oh thank you. How much do I owe you for this quick job?" Fancy Pants asked, as Johnny Toast came by to answer just that. "We were going to have you pay a hefty fee of up to 500$ or so, but seeing as hunting this ghost went quicker than I expected, I'd say you only have to pay us 50$. The other 450$ can go to repainting this house." Johnny Toast explained as Fancy Pants pulled out his wallet and handed Johnny Ghost and Toast 5 gold bits. "This isn't what we meant, but it's close enough." Johnny Toast commented as Toast, Pinkie, and himself headed back to the van, and headed off to their next destination. "Wait a second," Pinkie Pie asked from the back of the van "Weren't we supposed to look for this Toilet Toucher guy? I think we found a different ghost entirely." Pinkie noticed. "I thought the Toilet Toucher was there too, to be honest. But that was just a level 10 entity. The Toilet Toucher is much worse, and I think there was another sighting somewhere, let's just say, out of town." Johnny Ghost explained. "Oh, where are we going?" Pinkie said, in an enthusiastic manner, as usual. Both Johnny Ghost and Johnny Toast stared at each other in worry. Johnny Ghost breathed a sigh. "The Acachalla's." Johnny Ghost answered as lightning struck in the sky. "Strange. I didn't think we'd be getting rain. I thought that was next week." Johnny Toast commented, as it started raining. "Yeah, that is strange." Johnny Ghost said, as he shrugged is shoulder for a second before continuing to drive the van.
