//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Art is in the Eyes of the Beholder // Story: MLP Ghostly Tales // by Kyetta Cubid //------------------------------// After the Blue Ghost Transported her, Twilight found herself in what appears to be an Art gallery, with many Paintings and Statues, many she knew and didn't. "An Art gallery? What kind of Ghost wanted me?" She was asking herself that as she then looked around, not knowing the Paintings eyes and Statues Heads then moved, looking at her. She looked back and they turned back to normal. She looked was then wondering what was with the Gallery as she kept looking around the Gallery, but each time she looked at the Art, they go back to normal, but when she turns around, they just stared at her. "O-ok, even if I was transported to somewhere I'm more comfy, like a Library or a Science lab, Art is kind of a small downfall for me." "Oh no, don't say that. Art can show many different things." Twilight then heard a voice coming from around the Gallery. The same voice that brought her here. She then found the Blue Ghost, humming a tune as she looked around the Galleries Art. Twilight gave her some Space. "Don't worry about it. Most people don't even care about me, not even my own family." What she said made Twilight concerned. "Why?" "You see, many years ago, I was in a unheard Art family. My Father was trying to make his mark as one of the greats. I was born as a twin. My Sister and I really appreciated our Father's work, but he got mad at us, which upsetted both of us. After his departure, which is death, we wanted to continue his legacy. However, a sickness hit both of us, which ended up with us both dead. For Centuries we walked the earth as ghosts, we found that Blue Gem. Before my sister could touch it, I saved her by sacrificing myself. That gems was on the box your friend opened." After hearing her Story, Twilight felt sorry for her, which made her want to help her. "I'm so sorry to hear that, if I did want to, I could help you. But why an Art Gallery of all places?" The Ghost then gave a smile. "This place gives me hope for new artists. Hope that they could make a mark on this world." As they were talking, Twilight could feel the Art looking at her again, which made her uncomfy. "W-Well, this place kind of gives me the creeps. S-So if you could show me the exit and I shall be..." "But why, you'll be a wonderful masterpiece!" As she said that, it made Twilight very confused. "Y-You don't mean?" "Get her!" The Ghost ordered. Once she yelled that, many of the Art and Statues then tried to attack her, but using the Geode of Magic, she pushed some away. The Statues did shatter into Dust, which made Twilight cough a little. While she was Distracted, the Ghost saw an operatunity to make her a centre art piece, as she then used her own powers on her. Once she did, she used a paintbrush that then magically went over to her and started painting onto her clothes, replacing them with a new set of clothing. Twilight saw what was happening to her Clothes and by the Paintbrush. She tried to grab it, but saw everytime she did, her hand would phase through it, seeing it wasn't any ordinary Brush. As it was still doing it's Job, some strokes from it tickled her leg a little. She moved away a little, which made the Brush distracted. Due to that, the Brush then goes down to her shoes. Twilight tried to jump, but the Brush was quick and painted a pair of Mary Jane Shoes to replace her old ones. The Brush then painted on her clothes again. Twilight then tried to escape again, but running with Mary Janes were harder as they looked, so she decided to let the Brush do it's work. Once it was finished, she was now wearing a Purple peta-coat skirt, which embarrassed her a little, but saw it almost matched the Ghosts Attire. "Why am I wearing this?" "It was something me and my sister always did. We both loved to play dress up, and to that, you'll be joining us!" From what she said, the paintings and Statues then tried to attack her again, but she saw her Geode was painted on as well, which implanted it around a Bow. She decided to run again, trying to run in her new Shoes. She did wobble and trip a little, which almost gave the Paintings an opportunity. One Paintings arm tripped her as it was about to grab her, but she saw a bucket of water close to her. She grabbed it and threw the water at it, which melted it. She then looked up at the sprinkler System on the cealing. "The Sprinklers!" She got up again and saw the cloest trigger was on the other side of the hall, with other Paintings that came to life. "I'm now going to have Sportaldislexicartphobia when this is over!" As she was planning to rush over there, she heard footsteps and tapping on the floors coming down the halls, thinking it was more Statues. Panicking, she took refuge inside a Closet next to her. Once she was inside, she closed both doors. Catching her Breath, she heard the Statues walked passed her. As she was about to leave the Closet, she felt it was more Spacious then she thought it would be. Just then, the Lights came on, revealing it to be a small art Gallery, this time with Art painted by very known artists from before, but one got her attention in the middle, seeing their was nothing painted on it. "Huh? Nothing? Just a blank canvas?" "Yeah, well, that's how great art Begins!" Just then, she saw the Blue Ghost again, seeing she was more cheery to see her. Twilight then panicked and begged at her. "Please don't make me a masterpiece! I'll do anything!" "Oh, you must have met and freed my Sister!" After she said that, Twilight might of guessed she was the ghosts Sister. "Y-Your the other Twin sister?" The Ghost giggled as the first one found her. "She finally found our Favourite part of the Gallery. Where the greats are placed on." Twilight didn't think the Ghost would have found her, but also meet her Sister. "So sister, what is to be of our new Guest?" "Not too sure, but I was coming up with ideas." They then saw Twilight in front of the Canvas, which gave them an idea. "Shall we?" "We shall!" They then both headed down to Twilight. She blocked herself just in case they were going to inspirit her, but they flew passed her as they hit the painting. "W-What?" She looked back at the Canvas, seeing it was glowing Blue as the Ghosts hands then came out of it. Before she could run, the Hands were quick as they streached out and grabbed her Legs and started pulling her into it. "N-No! Help! Anyone!" She tried to grab the floor, but it was polished marble, which was slick and made sure she couldn't claw it. Half of her Body was now forced into the painting, with the other half, trying to free herself. Her struggling was futile as the Hands came back and grabbed her wrists, pulling her inside more quicker. "Help me! Someone!" No one was around to hear, just as she was finally pulled into the Painting. Once the Glow was done and the Painting was completed. On it was three girls playing dress up with each other, each wearing the same Peta-coat in different colours, Purple Being Twilight. The First Ghost, wearing a Dark Blue Dress, was painting three Colours of Dark Blue, Light Blue and Purple, to match all three of them. The other Ghost, wearing a Light Blue dress, was playing around with some Dolls and Twilight, the final piece to the Painting, was Reading a book. Once the Painting was completed, the small Gold title block underneath it magically wrote something on it, which it called it 'The Three Sisters'.
