//------------------------------// // The ice cream // Story: Equestrian girls scary story to tell in the dark // by Savant 123 //------------------------------// In the house of a neighborhood, a young girl named Scootoolo is seen playing a video game in her room when she hears music she is familiar with. “Ice cream,” she said happily as she put down her game and went to her desk to take her wallet and run down the stairs to the front door of her house. When she got out, she saw the ice cream truck with the name Nightmare Ice Cream drive away. "Hey, wait for me,“ Scootoolo said, running toward the ice cream truck. She held her wallet out as she chased after it. But no matter what she did, the truck didn’t stop. During the chase, the back of the truck opened up, and a small box came out. Scootoolo stop in front of the box. Confused, she picked it up and opened it, and she saw in the box two ice cream cones with three scoops on them, which were chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. She smiled and took one before eating. “This is the most delicious ice cream I ever tasted,” she said as she walked back home. As she walked, she saw her big sister, Rainbow Dash, walking back to their house. "Hey, squad ,“ Rainbow said, seeing Scootoolo. ”What you got is theirs.“ “Some ice cream came from a truck that was here,” Scootoolo said. “Well, I didn’t hear any ice cream trucks just now,” Rainbow said. "Well, they dropped this box just now,“ Scootoolo said. ”It's pretty good, the ice cream. Try it” Rainbow took the other ice cream in the box and tried it. “This is pretty good,” Rainbow said as she and Scootoolo got into their house. …. That night, as Scootoolo was sleeping, she heard a familiar sound that caused her to wake up. “Ice cream,” Scootoolo said in a confused voice as she walked out of the room. When she reached her front door, she saw it was already open and a rainbow dash was standing outside. “Rainbow“ Rainbow Dash turned as soon as she heard Scootoolo's voice. “Hey squad, come and take a look at this,” Rainbow said as she and Scootoolo walked out of the house to see an ice cream park not far from it. ”Pretty late for ice cream, don’t you think?” “Hey, that's the same ice cream truck I got my ice cream from earlier,“ the young girl said in shock. “Really?“ Rainbow asks in shock. “Then do you want to get some more?” “Sure,” Scootoolo said. Immediately, both girls went to the ice cream truck. However, before they could get any closer, the truck started up and left. “Hey!” Rainbow and Scootoolo shouted as the truck drove away. Immediately after, it left Rainbow, and Scoots saw a box at the place where the truck was a few moments ago. Both girls pick up the box and open it. The box contained two ice crams. They both smile, and each takes an ice cream and eats it. …. The next morning, Scootoolo was walking with her friends and telling them about the ice cream she and Rainbow had eaten. “I am telling you guys, it was so good." Scootoolo said to her friends Sweetie Bell and Applebloom, “It's the most delicious ice cream you will ever eat.” “Scoots, don’t you think it is odd for ice cream to be out this late?” Applebloom said. “Yeah, who ever heard an ice cream truck leaving a box of ice cream on the road?” Sweetie Bell said. "Well, that doesn’t change the fact that the ice cream was good,” Scootoolo said, as she wanted more of the ice cream. Unknown to her, Rainbow Dash also thought the same. …. has been months, and both girls have been spending that time thinking of the ice cream from their nightmares. They couldn’t sleep, eat, or even do their schoolwork properly, as both girls couldn’t stop thinking of the ice cream. This caused them to sit in their front yard to wait for the ice cream truck to return, but till now the truck hasn’t returned. They tried looking for it all over town, but to no avail. When they did manage to find the truck, it always drove away before they could reach it. When it did reach their neighborhood, it just stopped for a few seconds before driving away when they got near. Sometimes at night, the truck would park in front of their house and play its music, waking both girls up. Both girls would try to reach it, only for it to leave when they got near. They eventually decided to create a plan to catch the truck. Their try to chase it on rainbow motorcycle only for it to somehow outrun it. They try to stay up late at night, wait in the bush if their house is nearby, and wait till the truck arrives. However, they would fall asleep, and by the time they woke up, it would be gone before they could reach it. “This guy is toying with us,” Rainbow Dash said in annoyance as she and Scootoolo were in rainbow room discussing their plan to get the truck. “What can we do?” Scootoolo asks Rainbow Dash. “I got an ideal,“ Rainbow said as she brought out a spike strip from her closet . The same kind of police use. “Wow, where did you get that?” Scootoolo asked. “Internet,“ Rainbow Dash said. …. It was late at night, and both girls were hiding in the bush at the front of their house, waiting for the ice cream truck. On the road in front of their house was the spike strip, which they had set up. Both girls waited for hours until, eventually, they fell asleep. However, both were woken up by the sound of the ice cream truck. Both turned and saw the ice cream truck driving down the road and into the path of their trap. “Come on,” Rainbow Dash and Scootoolo said as they watched the ice cream truck drive closer to the spikes. The truck drove closer and closer until it ran over the spikes, much to the two girls joy, and as soon as the truck had stopped, both girls ran towards it and stood in front of the window of the ice cream trunk. Rainbow knocks on it as hard as she can. “All right, buddy, open up!“ Rainbow shouted. After she did that, the truck window opened up, but nobody was behind it, much to the girls confusion. Both look at each other before climbing through the window and into the truck. They saw two ice creams on the freezer and immediately grabbed them. “Well worth it,” Rainbow Dash said as she and Scootoolo ate their ice cream. “Are you enjoying your ice cream?“ a voice said. “Yeah,” Rainbow Dash said. “Yes,” Scootoolo said. However, both girls stopped and looked in the direction of the back door, and they saw a man and a woman standing there. “Well, hello there.“ The man said, ”My name is Discord, and this is my friend Chrysalis.“ “So you are the one who has been driving the ice cream,” Rainbow said in fury. This was mirrored by her little sister, who is also angry. However, to their shock, the two just laughed. “We don’t drive the truck.“ Chrysalis said ”The truck drives itself. See” Chrysalis pointed her fingers to where the driver seat was, and the two girls saw a wall blocking the path to the driver seat. “You see, the ice cream truck isn’t an ordinary truck." Discord explains, “It's something supernatural.“ “It is fully capable of thoughts, and its favorite thing to do is lure people into it so it can use their souls to sustain itself,“ Chrysalis said. “We fell victim to it around 60 years ago,” Discord said. “Wait, if you are 60 years old, how can you look around 30?” Scootoolo asks, confused. “Look there!“ Chrysalis and Discord step aside and reveal behind them two skeletons resembling them. ”We dead.” “You see, 60 years ago, we chased after the ice cream truck, and once we entered it, it trapped us in." Discord said, "We have only been surviving on ice cream since then until we eventually died from eating too much.” “But our torment didn’t end as the truck imprisoned our soul,” Chrysalis said. ”It traps our spirit in it until someone manages to eventually catch it and enter it.” “thus taking our place and letting our spirits rest." Discord said as she and Chrysalis bodies turned transparent and began to fade. ”Enjoy you, ice cream.” “Yes, since it shall be the only thing you eat from now on,” Chrysalis said as both she and Discord disappeared. Immediately after their disappearance, the window closed. “Oh no,“ Rainbow said as she tried to open the window to no avail. She and Scootoolo then try to break the window by hitting it as hard as they can, but to no avail. They try the back door, but it won’t budge. They heard the ice cream tune play and heard the sound of what sounded like tires being inflated outside, and they immediately felt the truck moving. They looked outside the window and saw the truck driving away from home. “Help!” Both girls shouted as they banged on the window, but to no avail. …. The ice cream truck then drives to an abandoned ice cream factory, which has the word nightmare ice cream on it, and parks in one of the parking lots available to it. In the parking lot, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of similar trucks, and each one had people trapped in them, screaming and crying for help.
