It was a dark and cloudy night, the mane six were having a sleepover at Twilight's house. They had pillow fights, did each other's makeovers, and played games. Everypony was having a great time. When it was time for them to go to bed it started to rain really hard with thunder. Everypony was scared, especially Fluttershy. She tucked herself in her sleeping bag really tight. Since they didn't want to go to sleep, they decided to tell stories to each other. Everypony went to sleep later on but Fluttershy stayed awake. It was 2:00 am and Fluttershy was still awake. She kept getting scared everytime thunder struck. She walked up to the window and looked outside to see how hard it rained, but she saw something odd. There was a shining light appearing in the Everfree Forest. She went to tell the others about the light shining in the Everfree. Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie woke up and went to see what Fluttershy was talking about. When they went up to the window and saw the shining light they wondered what it could be. They all went outside in the rain and headed to the Everfree Forest to take a closer look.

When they were at the entrance of the Everfree Forest, the shining light had stopped and left the mane six with a confused face. They wanted to see what the shining light was, so they decided to go inside the forest and check it out. It was dark to see anything, so Twilight used her magic to shine light in the forest. They found and followed a path that started from the entrance of the forest. After a while of walking, they started to see some white blurry objects. Twilight and the others didn't know what the objects were. They walked slowly and closer to the white objects to see them better. As they got closer the white objects disappeared in an instant. The mane six were scared but they pretended not to notice what had happened. They knew they couldn't stop now, so they kept walked deeper into the forest. As they walked deeper in the forest, they started hearing laughs. The laughs made the six become even more scared. After a while, the white objects appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the ponies. The mane six all jumped at the same time. Twilight and Rarity got their magic ready just incase anything happens. They huddled up against each other, back to back, closing their eyes. The white objects started to spin around them. Faster and faster they spun and they started to fly up into the sky. As the white objects flew up into the sky they combined together. The mane six opened their eyes and saw nothing in sight. All of a sudden the small white blurry objects turned into one huge white blurry object. Twilight was so scared that see accidentally turned off the magic and the area became dark. With the lighy gone, the white object started to become clear and able to be seen. Twilight looked at the white object's long tongue and wondered what it was, but she was too scared to make a move.

She thought to herself in a scared voice,"What kind of creature is this? I've never read or seen it before in my life!"

Little did they know they were boos and they formed into a big boo. The big boo started to laugh and scared the mane six which made them step back a lot. Twilight and Rarity used their magic and shot it to the big boo. It hit the big boo and made it pop back into smaller boos. The boos were flying everywhere in the forest. The did anything to scare the ponies. Some appeared behind them and some snuck up on them. They boos went deeper into forest but Twilight wanted to know what they were and what they were doing, so she followed them. The other five screamed her name and told her not to go deeper into the forest. Twilight didn't listen, so the other five followed her. The boos were going to an abandoned mansion in the forest. Once Twilight arrived where the boos were, she was shocked to see that there was a huge abandoned mansion somewhere hidden in the forest. When the other five ponies caught up with Twilight, they also saw the abandoned mansion and were shocked too. The boos were flying around the mansion. The boos were searching for the Elements of Harmony so they can take them to their world. When the mane six saw them taking the Elements of Harmony, they tried to stop them from taking the elements. Twilight and Rarity started to shoot their magic at the boos, but the boos vanished before they were hit with the magic. Rainbow Dash created a tornado to suck the boos in, but they were being shot back out. Applejack started to apple buck at them, but she couldn't hit them. Pinkie Pie tried to scare them with silly faces, but the boos scared her back with their silly faces. Fluttershy was to scared to do anything. A shy boo came to her and she though it was scared. She told the boo that there's nothing to worry about. They boo fooled her and scared her. She froze up with a scared face and the boo started to laugh. The mane six couldn't do anything to stop them taking the Elements of Harmony. The boos took the Elements of Harmony inside the mansion. The ponies tried running into the mansion but before they could a big boo appeared and scared them. The mane six started to scream and ran away. While they were running away, they heard the big boo laughing loudly. They ran out of the forest and into the rain to return to Twilight's house. They started talking about what those white objects were. They couldn't stop thinking about what they saw.

"An abandoned mansion in the Everfree Forest. How is that possible?!", asked Twilight in a confused and scared voice.

"The bigger problem is that those white creatures took the Elements of Harmony with them." Applejack replied.

Twilight wanted to explore the mansion so they can look for the elements but the other five didn't want to go back. Twilight told them that they have to so they can protect Equestria from all evil beings. After a lot of discussing about the elements, the other five finally agreed to go get the elements back. Twilight wanted to do some research on the beings they saw. They decided to look for and explore the mansion in the morning. That night they tried sleeping but they couldn't. They hardly got any sleep.

The next morning, it was a bright and sunny day and the mane six woke up tired and sleepy. They knew they had to find the Elements of Harmony in the abandoned mansion but they didn't want to. They couldn't even stand up properly. They decided to go check it out later that day. Twilight couldn't find out what the white creatures were. As time passed, the ponies got their energy back. They were fully awake and took some food to eat. They headed to the Everfree Forest. As they walked to the forest they started to make a plan on how they would find the elements. They all agreed on the plan but Fluttershy was still scared. She couldn't forget the terrifying boo that scared her yesterday. She didn't want to go but she was doing it for the Elements of Harmony.

Once they got to the Everfree Forest they walked right in. Twilight used her magic to shine light in the forest. They tried to remember what way they went to get to the mansion. It took them 15 mins to get to the mansion because they had gotten lost for awhile. When they got to the mansion, they looked at it to see if it was real or just their imagination. There was hardly any sun in the forest top. They slowly walked to the mansion's door. They opened the door slowly and a loud squeaky sound came from the door. They entered the mansion but Fluttershy wanted to stay outside. They told her it was safe but they hardly believed it themselves. Fluttershy didn't want to, so she stayed outside on the porch of the mansion. The rest of them explored the mansion. All they saw was pure dust and broken wood everywhere. They saw something covered up in the middle of the room. They walked towards it and took off the sheet that was covering it up. It was a mirror. The five of them looked at each other confused and looked at the mirror closer. Twilight walked closer and closer to the mirror. As she was walking closer, she tripped on a board of wood and slammed on the glass of the mirror. All the dust came off and she saw her reflection in the mirror. The reflection of her swirling slowly. Twilight didn't know what was going on. Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie ran to Twilight to see what was going on with the mirror. The mirror started to suck them in. They were scared so they tried running away but they couldn't. 

They all screamed in a terrified voice,"Fluttershy! Help us!"

The mirror sucked all five of them inside. The reflection stopped swirling and was back to normal. Fluttershy heard the screaming and ran quickly inside the mansion. She didn't see anypony. She slowly walked around the mansion terrified. She wondered if they were still exploring but somewhere else in the mansion. She couldn't find them anywhere. She saw the mirror in the middle of the room and walked towards it. She looked at it for a while and wonder where they were. The door of the mansion shut behind Fluttershy. She jumped and looked at the closed door. She walked back scared and bumped into the mirror. She looked at the mirror and saw her reflection. It started to swirl and the mirror started to suck her in. Fluttershy tried running away but she couldn't and ended up being sucked into the mirror.
