As everypony was eating, Cough Drop was cleaning off tables. Rarity and Fluttershy talking to each other about ghost.
“Rarity?” Fluttershy looked at her concerned.
“Yes darling?” She looked at her back.
“Don’t you ever get the feeling that this place is haunted?” Fluttershy asked.
Rarity looks at her and laughs “How is this place haunted? Look at this hotel, its nice and has great food and I heard there is a spa that will feel like Heaven.”
“But Rarity? What if this place doesn't exist?” Fluttershy thought.
“What makes you say that?” Rarity looked at her.
“Well... think about it Rarity, this is a place that we never heard of before. And its in the middle of the Desert 100 miles from the nearest town. Who puts a hotel in the middle of nowhere?”
“Fluttershy! I need you to just clear your mind and stop worrying so much. I just want you to relax and forget about everything and just rest. Isn't that simple enough?” Rarity asked.
Fluttershy sighed and looked back at Rarity. “Yes.”
“Good, now I plan for us to go to the spa today and go swimming at the pool and then we will have free room service for Dinner,” Rarity was reading off of a check list.
Fluttershy was still worried about this hotel. Oh no, this hotel is nice but I don’t think its real. Maybe its all in our heads. There is something here that doesn’t seem right. I’m just hope where out of here soon. She Thought as she got up from the table and followed Rarity to the spa.
Meanwhile, Twilight, Rainbow, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders were watching from behind.
“I think Fluttershy has caught on to the fact that this place is haunted,” Rainbow said as she looked at Twilight.
“I’m not surprised, in fact I think that she can figure out anything scary,” Twilight said.
“Can Rarity get the idea that this place is dangerous?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“I don’t think so, this place is too delicate for her to realize it,” Apple Bloom looked around as she spoke.
“Well why can’t we just tell her?” Scootaloo asked.
“Because then both of them will know that both of you are dead and they will blame it on us,” Twilight respond.
“How do you know that?” Scootaloo asked.
“It never happened... yet!” Twilight started worrying.
Cough Drop came up to them and stared at them. “You pony’s ready to head down to the main office?”
The Cutie Mark Crusaders got up and got excited, “ We sure are!”
Twilight and Rainbow looked at each other and nodded.
"Its now or never," Rainbow said.
Twilight agreed and looked at Cough Drop. Cough Drop leads the way to the basement. He goes to a nearby vending machine. "This the way to the bassment."
“Are you sure this is the right way?” Twilight asked. “It seems like there is no door here.”
“Thats because its in the wall silly,” Cough Drop goes into the wall and hands out his hoof. “You coming?”
Twilight grabs his hoof and gets pulled in. Rainbow and the Cutie Mark Crusaders look at each other and go through the wall. They soon find themselves on a stairwell going down to the dark basement.
“Come on, we are wasting time,” Cough Drop lead the way. Everypony nodded and followed him. As they got closer to the basement, they got colder and colder.
“Its cold in here.” Sweetie Belle shivered.
“Ghost don’t have feeling, do they?” Apple Bloom asked.
“They don’t, but what you're feeling right now is spirit air. Its in haunted places and thats why you can feel it. It tells you that there ghost here,” Cough Drop answered.
“That explains why its so cold in here.” Scootaloo said.
“Exactly!” Cough Drop smiled.
Meanwhile in another part of the hotel. Rarity was at the castino and was playing poker with other stallons.
“All in boys!” Rarity smiled as she pushed all of her bits to the center of the table.
Three stallions fold, six of them stay in the game. Rarity was very confident of winning. Once all of the cards were laid out everypony flipped their cards, two of them had high cards, three of them had pairs, and one of them had a straight. Rarity flipped her card and got a full house. She takes all of the bits in the center of the table.
Fluttershy was watching from a distance. Rarity comes up to her and smiles. “I told you I was good at poker.”
“I can see it, now can we get out of here? this place is starting to creep me out,” Fluttershy asked.
“Of course daring, we were here all day. Night is starting to fall. I need my beauty sleep,” Rarity replied.
They both trot back to the room and a pleasant surprise. There was free room service served to them. The ponies were there ready to feed them.
“Hello!” One of the waiters said.
“What are you all doing in our room?” Rarity asked.
“We are here to show you your buffet here. We lined up great delightful dishes from all over Equestria. We all know you must eat to regain strength. Its very important. Now are work here is done and we shall now leave you for the night,” Another waiter said leaving the room with the others.
“Thanks for the dinner!” Rarity closes the door and trots to the table to eat. Fluttershy was a little hungry. She started to head toward the table. Then all of a sudden she started to feel queasy. She decided not to eat and just went to bed to rest. Rarity ate all of the food and soon joined Fluttershy in Dreamland.
The clock strikes midnight. The moon was seeping into there room. Fluttershy was the closes to the window. She wakes up and finds herself looking at the moon. She started hearing noises. It was like a voice.
“Play... play... with... me,” said the voice.
Fluttershy started to shake in fear. “Hello?... anypony... there?”
“Come... to the... bathroom and close the ...door,” ordered the voice.
Fluttershy slowly gets out of bed and heads to the bathroom. She tiptoed across the room and closed the door quietly. Once she was in the bathroom a bright light appeared right in front of her. A filly spirit appeared to her.
“Who ...are you?” Fluttershy asked as she was shivering.
“I’m Binder, I died back in Fillydelphia back in 1834,” Binder introduced himself.
“Why did you call me?” Fluttershy asked, she was starting to get the idea that Binder wasn't going to hurt her.
“You seem like the only one who I can talk to. Your calm, nice, and get scared like I do, I also called you because they were about to do something bad to you and your friend. This hotel isn't what it seems,” Binder explained.
“What are you talking about?” Fluttershy asked. All of a sudden there was a glow an Rarity’s body. Fluttershy looked at her, “What happening to her?”
“There turning her into a ghost so they can turn her into a slave,” Binder said. “When she ate that food, when it gets digested into the small intestine then the food makes it easier to separate your soul from your body. I though I created that spell but I just made it easier to do it.”
A ghost appears in front of Rarity, grabs her soul, and puts it in a bottle. The Ghost closes the bottle with a cork and disappears.
“I didn’t save her because I can only save one at a time. I can’t control two at once. Plus she would freak out and say she was kidnapped,” Binder explained.
Fluttershy starts to cry, thinking of her friend. Binder looks at her “There is a way to save her.”
Fluttershy looks up at Binder. “I’m going to be brave and fight my fears starting now! How do we save her?”
Binder smiled. “And playtime starts now. Hold on to my hoof”
Fluttershy followed directions. Binder makes Fluttershy transparent and dives into the floor pulling Fluttershy with him. “Here we go!” They soon disappeared out of sight from the other ponies and they were on there way to save Rarity.
