//------------------------------// // nigthmares mansion // Story: A Good Share of Dreams (Old Version) // by Sea Pony //------------------------------// Two weeks have pass since the training with Kira tonight was Nightmare night I talk with the mayor the mane 6, Soft paw and even Luna I have something big plane for the celebration. Right now I was trying to convince Fluttershy to come have fun and I was failing miserably. ``Come on Shy it’s will be fun it’s happen only once a year.`` ``Fun? There nothing fun about being prank, scary costumes and Nightmare Moon which is all this holyday is all about!`` ``Oh come on! Everypony know you don’t like prank their not a pony stupid enough to put one on you, the costumes are just that costumes inside of them are joyous foals who want candy and Nightmare moon was defeat by the elements she’s gone.`` ``I said…NO!`` She push me out of her house and slam the door shut. I land in a bush, I groan and stand up in the street, I pass a hoof on my coat to let out the dust. I sigh in disappointment, sometimes I begin to wonder who is the pushover between us. During the two weeks, well more two weeks for everypony else and three week for me. Because for a week I did my best to learn all I could on my medallion of time and I also made a few time travels for my project of this night. ``Hello Dreamy what are you suppose to be?! Are you a disco dancer?!`` Said the bubbly voice of Pinkie pie. I had a entire blood red outfit some sort of fedora, a suit, a cape a pair of disco sunglasses, I had Twilight cast a spell on my eyes to make them red and glow, I dye my mane completely black and I had a fake pair of vampire fangs. ``I’m Alucard Pinkie one of the first and most powerful vampi- I mean vampony know`` ``Oh neto!`` Pinkie pie was as Mare do well but she forgot to put her mask on. She was with the Doctor he had a green tunic and hat, he had a brown belt, four brown bottle and he had the symbol of the triforce tattooed on his left hoof. ``You’re disguise as Link Doctor?`` ``Of course what better costume than the hero of time himself could I take?`` We both chuckle at that. We trot at the town halls where Zecora was yet again telling the foals the story of the holyday. Perfect this mean Luna will come soon and my plan will begin. All too soon the sound of thunder was resonating in the town and black clouds began to form in a big garden of Ponyville there was no house there yet and no one would think of what would appear there that night. The foals began to slowly to come back in town halls, any minute now, a flash of light invade the stage and before the crowd was the Dark princess Luna except that she was disguise in Nightmare Moon. She began to cackle evilly and some foals became to scream and was paralyze in fear. ``This will be the most horrible of night for all of you Muahahahah! I have a challenge for all the foals of this little town, I call upon my assistant`` That was my call I grab my amulet of time and I teleport alongside of the dark princess. Once on stage I gave a toothy smile making sure to show my fake fangs. And I began to speak. ``The Nightmares mansion appear once every hundred years when that time come the spirit of Nightmare Moon come haunt this town making come back all her minions back to life. The challenge is simple survive the dark and ancient mansion if you foals succeed you will have the right to keep the treasure that Nightmares Moon have collect since a hundred of year ago if you chicken out you lose nothing but your dignity and the chance to have the biggest treasure any foals ever dream`` The foals were scare and excited at the prospect and the adult were concern. ``If all this is true were is the mansion?!`` Ask Pipsqueak who was disguise yet again in pirate. Everypony murmur their agreement with the colts. I point a hoof at the garden, when everypony was looking at the mansion and not a us I flap my wing it’s was the signal for the others to begin their parts. The spa sisters had attach two dozens of buckets of water on two ropes, at the signal they pour the water they pour all the water on the ten spot of heated rocks, making some steam, after that Rainbow Dash flap her wing making her best to make the steam go everywhere. For the ponies in town hall it’s look like fogs have appear out of nowhere and that gain some worried expression. After that it’s was the turn of Twilight to play her role she had place a spell to cloak a gigantic mansion that I personally make for this occasion. What whit the look? You don’t believe I could make a huge mansion in three week? Well okay I may have ‘borrowed’ it from the future Ponyville. Hey don’t look like that I’m sure that the adult Diamond Tiara will be happy that her propriety was use to something useful… Ok she will be piss as hay but who care about her? The next role was for Rainbow dash and a few of her weather team they kick the cloud placed around the mansion, The dark clouds shot lightning in every sense to add more dramatic effect. The crowd gasp in wonderment they look back at us. ``We will see you back in the haunted mansion muahahaha!`` With that Luna cast the illusion spell making black smoke around us, at that moment I grab my amulet and I place a hoof around Luna and I teleport us at the mansion. For the other what they saw was me and Luna disappear in a cloud of smoke and we were replace by six bats who was flying in the direction of our main event. - - - - - - The cutie mark crusaders and the other foals Were excited about the whole thing, a chance to become heroes by challenging Nightmare moon in her own domain and the greatest treasure ever was to win. They were all reunite in front of the grim mansion. They were all excite but also nervous Scootaloo did her best to hide her fear and knock at the door, As soon as the sound reach the door Twilight who have move inside slowly open the door with her magic making the illusion that the door was opening on her own. The colt and fillies run in the mansion the parents and older sister and brother were about to follow them but was stop by two zebras Brew and Zecora. ``Don’t follow elder folks, this challenge are for filly and colts.`` ```But my baby is in there!`` Exclaim Bonbon a few ponies groan knowing well Scootaloo was at least eight years old. ``I know this is sudden, but you can at least watch as they fought in the evil den.`` Zecora said. ``This is not a den it’s a mansion`` Point Brew, the older zebra shot her a glare and she smile innocently. The two zebras motion the ponies to a big cauldron they began to threw some plants and other strange ingredient in the potion and they began to brew. Finally some image and sound began to show in the water they could see the little foals in the main entrance of the mansion. - - - - - - Inside the propriety all the lights were off the only thing that produce light was the fire of a few candles who was on the wall. Under the foals was a red carpet under them some stairs was in front of the foals. The first thing to greet them was Soft paw who dye her coat in black, she had a miniature saddlebag on her back and she had a witch hat the first time I saw her with the costume I tried my best to not D’awww seriously she is adorable like that, ok back to the story. The black cat whit a little began to slowly coming down whit the stair when she reach the middle of the stairs she jump in front of the foals at that moment the door slam shut. ``Hello kids I hope you all knew in what you are going into I am just a messenger of to talk about the rules set by Nightmare moon`` The young ponies began to freak out most of them never saw Soft paw before she return to her nomadic lifestyle so it’s was the first time they saw a talking cat ``There are only two rules in this mansion. Rule one: If you win, that is if a single one of you win which I doubt will happen, you need to share equally the treasure. Rule two: you will have a mean to quit the mansion but once your outside you will never be able to enter and have the treasure`` She pause rummaging in the saddlebag and she grab eleven midnight-blue gems that I have collect from the future, each one for a foal, oh yes we have forget to tell who are the foals didn’t we? There are Applebloom, Sweetie belle, Scootaloo, Twist, Feather weight, Pipsqueak, Dinky doo, Snip, Snail, Archer and Silver spoon who strangely was not in the company of Diamond tiara. ``Ok these gems are magically enchanted if you are ever too scare of what will unfold tonight touch the gem and yell ‘I’m a chicken’ and you will be teleport out of there in a instant but remember that also mean no treasure.`` Each of the colts and fillies nod. She gave all of them the gems and she ran away leaving them alone in the quiet mansion. *CRACK-A-BOOM* The sound of lightning made scream all the foals, the first reaction of Scootaloo was to grab Applebloom, Dinky doo did the same with Pipsqueak. Sweetie belle curl into a ball and the others just flinch. As they recover from the scare the first thing Scoot saw was the smug face of Applebloom looking at her. She push herself away from her. ``I was not scare at all this was just to reassure you, like a good friend do.`` But instead of a response from the farm filly the one that talk was Silver spoon. ``Ahahah I bet the blank flanks will be the first to quit the challenge you will all fail like you fail at everything else.`` She trot smugly taking the lead. The two fillies glare at her Sweetie belle was beginning to tear up. ``Don’t listen to her Sweetie belle she’s just jealous her cutie mark is just a spoon.`` A small smile form at the corner of her mouth and she began to follow the other in the mansion. Dinky and Pipsqueak was just realising that they were still holding each other they both blush and follow the crusaders. - - - - - - ``How dare she insult the my baby this little snob!`` Exclaim a familiar cream color mare. ``Snob?! How dare you my little Silver spoon is simply stating the truth is not her fault your fillies is a useless and flightiest Pegasus`` Said a indignant mare. ``Oh no tell me she didn’t`` said a concern green unicorn. ``What did you say?`` demand Bonbon with edge in her voice. ``Do you have a problem with your ears maybe being handicap run in your family?`` replied the snob mare. ``Oh this will be ugly.`` State Lyra ,everypony who knew how protective of her family is Bonbon began to back away of the scene. And Tartarus broke loose. - - - - - - The young adventurers arrive at the second stage they tried every door but none of them was open, as the others were trying the doors Dinky remark some details that the others didn’t remark. For most this would seem like a useless observation but she followed her instinct. ``Hey guy look at this`` All the foals look at her. ``Some candles are lit and some other are not and if we follow them maybe we will know were to go!`` She said excitedly. ``Urg this is a stupid observation, like you would ever be intelligent whit the klutz as your mother.`` Silver spoon said. The ear of the unicorn filly droop and she look at the ground dejectedly. The other colt and fillies continued to try every door they saw. The cutie mark crusaders look at the sad Dinky and they whisper to each other. ``You know her theory is the only lead we have so far we should try it.`` whispered Applebloom. ``We can’t let her be so sad because of this stuck-up either.`` Replied the white filly. ``Yeah and it’s like the saying Dream mention, how did it go? The friend of our friend is our enemy?`` ```No you dodo it was the enemy of my enemy is my friend`` Said Sweetie belle. ``What are you a dictionary?`` Countered the orange filly. ``Girls! We don’t have time for this`` Hiss Applebloom, the farm filly began to trot to the blonde filly. ``Hey Dinky let try your idea!`` The said filly jump in surprise at the unexpected voice she look in front of her to see one of the most friendly classmate she know. ``But Silver spoon said it’s a stupid idea.`` She mumble. ``Since when do we trust the word of one of the two bully of the school? Let’s try your idea we never know.`` The blonde filly complied and they trot following the candles. Most of the foals who was desperate at this point began to follow them, much to the chagrin of the bully. They continue in a long corridor it’s look like it’s was never finishing. Finally they arrive at a single door lit by the fire of the last candle, they turn the knob and to the frustration of the snob filly the door was unlock. They didn’t expect what they saw inside it’s was a normal looking laboratory. At less that what they through, the more they trot inside more they saw perturbing things. Dead rats, brains and magic books explaining the concept of necromancy. As they arrive at the end of the room they saw what look like Twilight sparkle scribing furiously on a scroll she had a lab coat stain whit blood, her mane was extremely messy and on occasion her ears began to twitch. The foals was terrified especially the crusaders since she look like she was in the smarty pants incident except even worse. They tried to quit the room without a sound but snail accidently trip over a bottle of love potion and he slam on a table making shattering some other bottles on the ground. All the foals froze their eyes became wide in terror, the mad Twilight look at the source of the noise a very disturbing grin form on her lips. ``Greats just great Nightmare moon have finally send me new test subject we will have some much fun together.`` She began to laugh like a mad mare. ``RUN!`` Scream Snail as he grab the troublemaker whit him all the other follow his lead. ``NO my precious test subjects you will not pass I can use all of you dead it don’t matter`` she began to purchase them with fakes scalpels it was looking very real for the foals through. She began to throw it at them. ``I’m ah chicken!`` Scream Twist instantly being teleport in a midnight blue magic. The rest of them ran for their life. They saw a door. Applebloom and Scootaloo tried to open it at the same time, but it’s was lock. ``Look there a key!`` Said a familiar colt disguise in pirate. Hey look and he was right their was a key on the bookshelf but Twilight was in front of it. The brave pirate charge all the other look at him like he was mad, Twilight chase and threw a few scalpel at him, they mostly ‘accidently’ miss him a few of them made explode some bottle as they made contact. He jump in one table knocking the ‘experimentation’ on it and he jump on the bookshelf knocking down almost half of the books on it. He grab the key and he jump on the back of Twilight and made a second jump running to the door. He threw the key to Applebloom and she began to unlock the door as fast as she could Twilight they threw all the scalpels she had left but they ran to the other side and close the door before it could hit them. At the other side they could hear the sound of the scalpel hitting the door. They all sigh in relief it’s was finally over. - - - - - - ``This mare is crazy she’s attacking our Childs!`` Scream the mother of Pipsqueak. ``Don’t worry concern mother, harming your child is not in her power.`` Said the sage zebra. ``Somepony can explain in Equestrian?`` Ask the mother. ``All you saw was fake she couldn’t have hurt Pip even id she want to`` Said Brew, Zecora shot her a annoy glare. ``Well that a relief I guess, so what do we do with her?`` She said motioning to the unconscious mother of Silver spoon, who was moaning in pain. ``Don’t worry about her moaning, she will feel better in the morning.`` The everfree resident replied. ``She deserve worse.`` Grumble the angry Bonbon. - - - - - - The young ponies arrive in a hall at the end their was a large safe whit a big key hole. Soft paw once again appear in front of the group. ``Hello kids this is as you probably all have guess where the treasure is keep.`` Their eyes all literally sparkle. ``Of course the one who have the key to enter is the princess of the night herself.`` Immediately the sparkles were replace by fear. ``I’m a chicken!`` yell Snail. And he disappear. ``Snail! Don’t leave me alone!`` He look at the spot he disappear and he sigh sadly. ``We were suppose to win this together`` He said angrily and then he resigned himself, ``I’m a chicken`` He said in a dull voice and he disappear whit his friend. ``Well look like we have already lost three concurrent on your little group I wonder how many of you will be left after the next room`` With that she left the foals alone once again.
