I need your help... if you have time, that is." "Of course, Fluttershy. What's wrong?" "Oh, um. I uh, have something I need to tell you, can you stop by my cottage later?" "Alright. Sure..." Present time... Twilight stared dumbstruck at the scene in front of her. Fluttershy stood meakly by her side, in front of them, the closet door was shut, locked, and barricaded, and there were loud noises coming from the other side. "So, explain to me what happened?" Twilight asked, never taking her eyes off the door. "Um, well. Remember when I said I had skeletons in my closet?" "When most ponies say that, they mean it figuratively. Why are there actual living skeletons in your closet? "Zecora taught me a way to keep my animals friends alive forever... I guess it got carried away..." Just then the closet door burst open, sending wood splinters across the room. The two ponies screamed as the grinning skull of a bear looked down at them. The body was crudely held together by duct tape and dark magic. "Welp, we're bucked." Twilight said, catching her breath from the screaming. Fluttershy nodded, too afraid to react.
