Tonight Apple bloom, Fluttershy, and Rarity are going to Swandive's house so they can help her move on. There was an hour leave until they meet at Swandive's house. Apple bloom was in her room packing for what Applejack and Granny Smith think that she is going to have a sleep over with Scootaloo. Now there is 15 minutes left to meet Fluttershy and Rarity. With a hug from Applejack, Apple bloom was out. When Apple bloom got to the house it was 8:00 pm. Apple bloom sat by a bid tree next to the house as she waited for Fluttershy and Rarity. 15 minutes gone by and still no sign of them. Apple bloom took out an apple she put in her bag and she took a bit. It wasn't even a minute later when Apple bloom hears a noise coming from the house. Apple bloom nearly choked on her apple when she heard the sound. "I guess Fluttershy and Rarity are inside the house." Apple bloom said out loud. Apple bloom walked up to the door and opened it. Once Apple bloom was inside it was dark and no site of Fluttershy and Rarity. Confuse Apple bloom walked around the two story home. When Apple bloom reach the kitchen she hears a crashing sound coming from her left. Apple bloom turn to the direction where the sound was. To her eyes she sees an opened door the leads to the basement. Thinking Fluttershy and Rarity are down there Apple bloom went down the stairs. "Fluttershy? Rarity? Are you down there?" Apple bloom said to the darkness of the basement. When she got no replied, it only made Apple bloom more confused. Once down the stairs Apple bloom tried calling out for Fluttershy and Rarity again. When she got no answer a second time Apple bloom started to get scared. Felling the walls trying to find a light switch. It took a few minutes but Apple bloom found the light switch. Praying that the light will go on Apple bloom flicked the switch up. A few flickers later light filled the room. with a happy sigh Apple bloom turn to look around the room only to meet with her scream. In the back wall there was Rarity and Diamond Tiara their bodies were cut up and burned, their eyes are gone and so were there cutie mark. "W-What is going on h-here" Apple bloom has her body against the wall stock in fear. "H-Hello? Is somepony here?" Apple bloom hears a voice coming from upstairs. "Fluttershy is that you?" Apple bloom said "Yes. Is that you Apple bloom?" Fluttershy said at the base of the door that leads to the basement. "Fluttershy please come down here. Something terrible happened." Apple bloom said with fear in her voice. Fluttershy was walking down stairs when she got to the bottom, Fluttershy froze in place she saw Rarity and Diamond Tiara. "Oh my" Fluttershy said taking a step back. Apple bloom looked at Fluttershy to you surprise Fluttershy was grinning. Then Fluttershy started to laugh. Confuse Apple bloom started to back away from Fluttershy. Fluttershy looked at Apple bloom and said. "Well looks like you found out my secret dear Apple bloom"
