The five stood in the main room of Twilight's castle; their hearts thumping. Rainbow gave them all a stern look.

"I really hope you guys don't think I'm insane. I swear I'm right!" Rainbow stated as they sat in silence. Twilight spoke up.

"Rainbow, we don't think you're insane. It's just... this idea is very farfetched for us to grasp."

Rainbow let out an annoyed sputter. "Well, you guys will believe me once you see that animatronic up close." 

Fluttershy let out a small whimper. "I really, really, don't want to go. It makes it super scary to think that Pinkie Pie could be an animatronic..." 

"Fluttershy! This is our last resort! Now, let's go find our friend!" Rainbow responded as she trotted towards the door. 

"Oh dear..." Fluttershy whispered to herself as she walked close to her friends. 







The five finally approached the pizzeria. It looked so friendly; something that Rainbow immediately discounted. She stomped over to the entrance and slammed the doors. They opened up with a loud bang.

"Rainbow! Show some respect!" Rarity remarked as Rainbow continued walking forward. Rarity then whispered to Twilight: "Rainbow is going completely insane." 

The rainbow Pegasus walked over to the stage where the three animatronics were positioned. The chick-pony looked down to Rainbow. Rainbow immediately recognized those eyes. 

"Pinkie!" She yelled as the animatronic kept its cold gaze on her. It then walked to the drum set near the other end of the stage. It then started a beat with the drums. 

The other four ran over to Rainbow. "I don't know what you're seeing..." Twilight remarked. Rainbow looked down and sighed. 

"I know. It probably seems like I'm insane, doesn't it?" Rainbow responded as her ears drooped. She then walked away. 

Twilight put a hoof on Rainbow's shoulder. "Well, not completely. But, I do think the fact of Pinkie Pie missing is getting to your head. Maybe you just need to rest." 

Rainbow looked over to her. "I still want to figure this out." She then walked towards a counter with a stallion sitting behind it.

"Excuse me?" Rainbow asked as the stallion looked up at her.

"Yes, ma'am?" He asked as Rainbow put a hoof on the counter.

"I want to know if there's any way to get closer to the animatronics."

The stallion gave her a peculiar look. "Well... the only way is to get a job here..."

"What is available?" Rainbow asked as the stallion looked at a computer screen.

"The only job is a night guard, ma'am."

Rainbow nodded. "Can my friends work with me as well?"

"Huh?" The four remarked at once.

"Oh... uh, sure. I guess. The office space can be pretty small, though." He then set out an application. "I guess... you can all sign here." 

Rainbow signed her name as she handed the paper to her friends. "Sign. I'll show you then." 

Fluttershy let out a squeak as she signed her name. She was followed by everypony else writing their names on the piece of paper. They then gave the application back to the stallion.

"Alright. Your first night will be tomorrow, starting at twelve A.M.. There used to be another night guard, but we have no idea where he disappeared to." 

"Alright. Thank you, sir," Rainbow responded as she walked out of the pizzeria. She was then followed by her friends. 

"Rainbow!" The four shouted as the Pegasus looked back. 

"What?"

"Why would you force us to sign up for a job? I'll miss my beauty sleep now!" Rarity responded.

"I need you guys to see I'm right! I am right!" Rainbow remarked as she fluttered her wings and flew away. The four looked up to the sky to see her dashing into the distance.

"Yep. She's gone insane." Applejack remarked.
