Stranded

Monday

"Okay so... this is day 1 of our visit and well we haven't gotten there yet we're still in Celestia's carriage. We are going to visit the Haunted mansion near the outskirts of Canterlot." Rainbow put the camera towards Twilight

"Well it's not going to be your average overnight tour. Remember, Celestia said it would be another hour before we get there." Twilight then takes the camera and points it to Applejack

"Well by the time we get there it'll be nighttime!" Applejack then gives the camera back to Rainbow Dash

"All the fun to make it even scarier!" Rainbow laughed at her own joke

"Okay we're here!" Celestia motioned for the trio to get their belongings

"Wow! I didn't expect the mansion to be THIS big!" Rainbow looked around the grounds. Indeed the property was big.

"Alright I'm off! Have fun with your stay!" And Celestia took off

"Uh...You go first. I'll make sure no one sneaks up on us." From the looks on Twilight's face you could tell she was terrified

"Your such a coward Twi. Come on! I bet it has a library in there!" Rainbow then pushed Twilight inside

As Rainbow Dash pushed Twilight inside she saw a painting of a stallion with a monocle on it's right eye.

'Ok Twilight stay calm you have your friends with you. You won't... Hey a book!' Twilight went up to the book that was laying on the table near the front door

"Wow look at all this stuff." Applejack was going through the items near the table

"Probably for the investigations. So what does the book say?" Rainbow looked at the book

"Let's see... The history of this mansion is very old. In fact it's been stated that this mansion was the most haunted mansion in all of Equestria." Twilight continued to read the other words out loud

"In the past there were numerous reports of murder, suicide, and illness. Ponies that have visited the house have experienced huge headaches while looking around the house. If you aren't careful you will end up killing yourself while you visit. One report states that a little filly was murdered in this very house. It's spirit still lingers looking for the pony that murdered it." Twilight could barely read those last words so Rainbow Dash decided to read the rest.

"The Pool creature... Many ponies that have been in the pool have said they had their back legs pulled or scratched. The creature that attacked the ponies is still a mystery.

"The Basement... It's never a good idea to go in the basement alone. Rumors say that an evil spirit will steal your soul if you drop your guard. No one is ever found once they disappear." Rainbow started to grow cold after reading the last sentence so Applejack read the final Part.

"The Master's Bedroom... Visitors say if you stay in this bedroom for more than 10 minutes you will start to see the ghost of the past owner of the house. Rumor has it that during the morning when you look at the bedroom window you will see it is open. And you will unusually hear a piano playing when no one is inside."

"The Kitchen... Most of the activity is in this room. Because most deaths occur here you will often hear footsteps and voices in the room... Looks like we're going to have the ride of our lives!" Applejack then closed the book and took her belongings.

"Uh... where are you going?" Twilight asked while gathering the equipment for the nightly investigations

"To find a room for us to sleep! If we're going to stay here we got to have a place to sleep!" Applejack then motioned her friends to follow.

As the three friends walked through the hallways Rainbow spotted a perfect room.

"How about this one?" Rainbow then opened the door. What luck! 3 beds perfectly laid out.

"Yep! This is where we will sleep!" Applejack then sat down and went through her stuff.

"What the *bleep* is that?" Rainbow was looking around to find the source of the noise

"Shh! Be quiet!" As Twilight motioned for everyone to be silent the footsteps stopped

"Holy *bleep* that was scary." Just saying this caused a direct smack to the face

"Can you just go one day without swearing Rainbow?" Applejack gave Rainbow a glare before going back to her stuff.

"Sorry..." Rainbow just layed on her bed and stared at the ceiling

"Alright let's get some sleep." Twilight then turned off the lights

"Wait... Why don't we investigate before we sleep?" Rainbow then turned the lights back on

"Fine. But for only an hour." Applejack then got the equipment and gave it to Twilight and Rainbow

"Remember. Only an hour." Applejack then went outside the room for the investigation.

"Come on Twilight. Are you coming?" Twilight put the equipment back and gave a no in response so Rainbow went to join Applejack

"Where's Twilight?" Applejack looked behind Rainbow and saw Twilight in bed

"She said she doesn't want to come." Rainbow looked behind her just in case

"Typical... C'mon. Let's explore." Applejack then went downstairs. Rainbow Dash soon followed

"This is just too creepy... I mean who would live in here?" Rainbow looked at Applejack but she wasn't there

"What the? Applejack where are you?" Rainbow looked all over then she heard Applejack's voice

"Over here! I found something." Rainbow Dash followed Applejack's voice and ended up at the exact same spot where she saw that painting.

"Rainbow, wasn't that monocle on the right eye?" Applejack then pointed at the painting.

"Yeah... Why? What's wrong?" Then Rainbow took a look at the painting. The monocle was now on the left eye.

"No. No way that happened. That's a painting! Paintings don't move by themselves!" She looked a little harder... Indeed the monocle was part of the painting.

"That's only part of it. Look at the book." Applejack then opened the book for Rainbow to see

The letters in the book were circled. It seemed that the letters made 2 words

"G - E - T - O - U - T... GET OUT." Just saying the 2 words sent a chill up both up the 2 pony's spines.

"This is just way too freaky." Rainbow looked around but saw nothing out of the ordinary

"That's Twilight!" Suddenly both ponies sprinted upstairs and saw Twilight in the hallway crying.

"Twilight are you alright?" Rainbow looked up but saw nothing that could've made Twilight burst into tears

"I-I-I saw a little filly next to my bed..." Just saying this made both ponies ice cold

"T-t-the filly asked if I saw her mother..." Twilight started to cry even harder

"Applejack..." Rainbow gave Applejack the signal to cancel the investigation.

"Alright. Let's just go to sleep." Then all three ponies went inside the room, closed the door, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
