The Return

Chapter 10

We arrived at the theater after a few minutes. We got out of the taxi and went into the theater. I walked up to the ticket booth.

"Hello, sir. We need access to the basement of this building." I said.

"I'm sorry, sir. The basement is for staff use only." The ticket vendor said.

I pulled Twilight over to the window.

"Do you know who this is?" I asked.

He looked at her for a minute, then shrugged.

"This is the Princess Twilight. Celestia's top student and Princess of Ponyville." I said.

He just looked at us with a bored expression.

"So?" She asked.

"Well, just imagine if a princess were to give this theater a bad review. I don't think it would get a whole lot of business after that, and they would have to shut it down from lack of profits. Then, you would probably never get another job ever, because your superiors would tell all future employers that you were responsible for this theater being shut down." I said as I gave him a smug look.

His eyes widened.

"Sorry, princess. Right this way." He said as he left the booth and led us through the theater.

We came to a door at the back end of the building. He unlocked it and stepped back for us to enter.

"Thank you, sir." Twilight said.

We headed down into the basement. It was a dark and smelled of mildew.

"Okay. Doctor Whooves said to look for the loose wall." I said.

I went to one of the walls and knocked on it. It was solid. I tired the spot beside it, it was hollow.

"Think I found it." I said.

I drew back and hit the wall with full force. It collapsed in on itself and revealed a set of stone stairs.

"Nicely done, sugahcube. With that kinda power, we could use yer help on tha' farm durin' apple bucking season." AJ said.

"If we get through this, you've got yourself a deal." I said as we descended the stairs.
