//------------------------------// // Hotel Ponyfornia Part 7A // Story: Paranormal Ponies // by opuscon789 //------------------------------// Fluttershy, Binder, and the CMC try to find a way out of the basement. Somehow, they have entered the wrong door. They’ve entered a maze, the doors now that they went through earlier don’t lead to the same place. It was a confusing as rocket science. Every room they went into was like entering another dimension. Each door they opened was completely random. At times, it would be an empty room. Sometimes, there would be a timberwoof or another scary monster inside. Now they entered a room where they felt like they shrunk to the size of a toy. “What is this place?” Apple Bloom asked. “I have never been here before.”Binder said as he looked around the room. “Oh cool, look there is a toy scooter over there,” Scootaloo goes to check it out. “this is way cooler than mine.” “How about we leave it there and just go back where we came from,” Fluttershy shuttered. “I don’t feel safe, I feel like something is coming.” Scootaloo try to test the scooter out, but her hooves went right through the bars. “Oh, right.” She looks down in disappointment. “You shouldn’t be touching stuff that doesn’t belong to you.” Sweetie Belle gave her friend a pat on the back. “Being in this ghost form makes me think, why are we in this world? What is our purpose in life? Why are we here? What does Celestia herself want with us? What I mean is that,” Scootaloo paused to rub a tear off of her face. “What is the point of life of we all just die out by the end. There is no point in living if we start off died or not existing, and end off died. Why do we even exist? We might as well just be in a world that there is nothing to do but sit around and stare at each other.” “Scootaloo, don’t think about life like this.” Apple Bloom assured. “Think of living life to its fullest. Treat every day like its your last. I bet there are lots of things to do in life that we all won’t be able to do in our lifetime. In Celestia's eyes, she seen ponies die out and ponies born to take their place. We don’t even know who is creating us, I don’t think Celestia is behind all of this. Maybe the meaning of life is to help Equestria move on from one generation to the next. We all somehow take part in Equestrian History, even if we aren’t in the history books. Take Ms. Cheerilee for example. She is teaching a class filled with fillys. One of us in the class could write a popular book that somepony else can be inspired by and invent, I don’t know so lets say a box with moving pictures. Ms. Cheerilee could also be teaching a filly that in the future could be a politician that works to make laws in the Equestrian High Court.” “I think what Apple Bloom is trying to say is that even though it doesn’t seem like it, we all play a part in Equestria. Not just in Equestria, but in the world.” Sweetie Belle smiled. “You really think so?” Scootaloo looked at both her friends. Apple Bloom as Sweetie Belle looked at each other and nodded. Scootaloo breaks out in tears and hugs her two best friend. All of them hugged each other all in tears. All of them wishing that they weren't in this situation in the first place. “I told my cousin about the Cutie Mark Crusaders, remember?” Apple Bloom mentioned. “I think that was a way to help with our country’s history. It might become a big deal in the future.” Scootaloo smiles “Thank you, you are the bestest friends a pony could ever have.” Fluttershy watches them as the fillies talked to each other. She smiled, it actually made her less scared. She felt warm inside. It didn’t last long though. She starts hearing hoof steps, but it didn’t sound like hooves. *boom* *Boom* Fluttershy and Binder go to the three fillies. “I think its time to get out of here.” Binder started to notice that a crack in the wall has formed and gave up a weird vibe. He didn't worry about it though because there was something coming. “Boom* *Boom* All of them try to look for a door. Binder points it out on top of a bookcase. Everypony started flying up to the top and find a surprise. *Boom* *BOom* “Oh my, what happened to all of these ponies? They look stiff.” worried Fluttershy. “Don’t worry about them Fluttershy, we got to keep moving.” Binder said as he opened the door. “I got to help them. We can’t just leave them here.” Fluttershy said. *BOom* *BOOm* All of them starts hearing a deep sing voice. “COME ON FLUTTERSHY!” The three fillies yelled. Fluttershy sighed in sadness and starts flying toward the door. *BOOM* *click* Just then, a ceacher of some sort of creature comes into the room. “Oh Fluttershy!” Fluttershy paused and didn’t make a move acting like one of the stiff ponies. Binder and the CMC both watched, too scared to move. Fluttershy thought to herself “How does that creature know my name?” “Time for a bath!” The creature said reaching for Fluttershy. Fluttershy couldn't move an inch once she felt a part of the creature’s giant claws or whatever they were. All she knew was that they were probably not claws because they were soft and dirty. Who knows where they have been. “FLUTTERSHY!” Binder yelled, but the creature didn't hear them. Fluttershy yelled but the creature couldn't hear her either because... you know. “Just forget about me! Save yourselves!” She was taken out of the room. “We have to save her!” Scootaloo had a tear in concern. “I don’t know what to do. She said to forget.” Binder looked at Scootaloo. “We just can’t forget!” Apple Bloom cried. Binder thinks of the crack “It would take too much time! It feels like this maze is falling apart. I don’t know how but it might have to do whats going on with Cough Drop, but it seems like we don’t have a lot of time. We have to keep moving!” Binder starts to regret about what he said about Fluttershy. At first, the CMC didn’t believe him. Suddenly, a hole appeared in the wall. They all agreed to keep moving still keeping Fluttershy in their minds.
