It was only supposed to be for one night, but then those ponies became more curious...

Night Four

I can't keep doing this. It's been three nights already, and they keep coming back.

That Pinkie Pie was knocking on my door longer than the previous night, and then that Applejack came along and gave the door a swift kick. If she had done it a few more times, she probably could have knocked the door clean off its hinges. And then there was Rarity by the other door. I don't know what she was doing, but the door on her side was glowing ite a bit. Magic or something? I'm surprised that Rainbow Dash didn't wake up from all that racket. If all four ponies went at that door, I'm pretty sure I would have been a goner.

Regardless, like clockwork, all four ponies left in the morning. It weird, does anyone actually live here? There's that one pony in the morning, and those four ponies at night, but I haven't seen a single pony stay the entire time. Is this place abandoned? No, that can't be true, there are these ponies showing up. Maybe they're housekeepers? Castle-sitters? Is that even a real thing?

You know what, I don't care. I need to get out of here. I can't deal with them coming back every night, I need a place where I can plan ahead, and not be thrown into the darkness every time, literally. The teleporters busted, so I have no other choice but to live the rest of my days away from this blasted place. I'm just going to grab my stuff, get out of this room, go down the hallway, turn right, and I'll be as free as I can be-

...hmm, this isn't the way out. Maybe if I go the other way, and turn left, I can get out of here-

...no, that's not it either. Well, if I go down these stairs, maybe I can-

...well, at least I know where the supply closet is.

Well, this is just great. Now I'm lost in this freaking giant castle! How do those ponies keep finding my hiding spot in this huge place?!? I mean, come on, how many books does a castle need? I go into this room, there are shelves filled with books. I go into this room, there are shelves filled with books! This room? Oh, wow, golly gee! MORE BOOKS! What a surprise! This room has books, this room has books, this room has a yellow pony, this room has a-

HOLY CRAP IT'S THE YELLOW PONY.

Now, remember when I said that this pony was really quiet?

...scratch that. This pony is loud. REALLY LOUD.

I don't know if she ran away from me or is chasing me, but I don't care right now. She has the scream that gives ear-splitting headaches. My head's already throbbing from three nights without sleep, I really don't need this right now. So I ran.

And then... I started flying?

No, wait, I'm not flying. Just falling. And hurting my head more.


It's dark again. I'm in my room again. The ponies are back again.

This is really scary. The last thing I remember was going unconscious on the library floor. Well, one of them. The fact that I'm in this room makes me wonder who had put me in here. Is there another creature? Should I be more worried about it then I am about these ponies?

Ugh, my head really hurts now, I feel like I'm going to throw up. I can't black out now though, I need to check the cameras...

80% left. How long was I out? This can't be good.

All four ponies are roaming about now. They all look a lot more serious than the previous nights? Did I do something that could have triggered this? What could possibly-

I figured it out. It was Fluttershy. Running into her must have caused panic in the rest of the ponies, and now they're definitely hunting me out. I knew this was going to happen.

I keep thinking there's something moving around in here. I don't know if I messed up my brain when I hit my head, but I could swear I see something squirming. But when I take a closer look, everything is still. I really hope there's nothing there.

Checking the cameras again. Pinkie Pie's still staring freakishly at the camera. Rainbow Dash is knocking on each door. Rarity trying to open each one. More noises from the kitchen, probably Applejack.

Pinkie Pie's running again, I gotta prepare for her ceaseless knocking again...

...

... odd, it's still quiet. Where could she-

There are voices coming from right outside the doorway.

"Darling, this door doesn't seem to open easily. Would you be a dear and open it for me?" Hmm, what a posh tone.

"Aw, forget about that one, that door there's always locked, ah've tried." Wow, that is a strong Southern accent if I've ever heard one.

"Well, we gotta try this one now! It's the only one left!" That is such a bossy- wait, only one left? What are they trying to-

"Don't be rude, silly! We need to see if there's anyone in there first! HELLO? ANYONE THERE?"

Well, there's the persistent knocking again, I'm guessing that the last sentence was from Pinkie Pie. Now that every pony is here, I need to-

Wait.

THESE ARE TALKING PONIES.

Okay, now I know my brain is really messed up, not just today, but all four days. I'm been stuck in this enchanted crystal tree house filled with colorful talking horses. Then at night, I have to hide in this room so they don't kill me. Now, not only are all four ponies right outside the doorway, I keep thinking that there is another pony hiding in this very room, probably about to push me out.

This is definitely a dream. None of this can possibly be real. It's just one of those really, really long nightmares I keep having since the incident in '87. I obviously haven't let that go yet, and now my brain is making up all this fairy tale nonsense to get me to snap out of it. I'm just going to lie down here, and wait for to be all over.

I can't keep doing this. It's been four nights and they keep coming back.
