Besides, what could possibly go wrong? After trotting through the door, Twilight finds herself in a dark room, with a large screen about fifty feet in front of her. On the screen, there is a picture. A picture with strange beings on it. They have candy-colored skin, with candy-colored hair, and intimidating animation styles - and each of them, six in all, are standing in a row with intimidating poses. Nothing could have been more disturbing to Twilight. Suddenly, a song begins to play, as the screen began to flicker in an eerie, offsetting way. Suddenly, a voice echos throughout the room, causing Twilight to flinch slightly. "Welcome, students of Rapture High. We invite you to sit down and relax as we give you a little introduction of our... high school." There was a brief pause. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Twilight cautiously took a seat in the empty audience. Suddenly, random advertisements flickered onto the screen, with one of which saying "Friendship at your Fingertips! Befriend your foes at the flick of the wrist!" After a moment or so of this, the same voice Twilight heard earlier began to speak. "I am Andset Ryshimmer and I am here to ask you a question: is a girl not entitled to being the popular girl in school? No, says the nerds, it belongs to the freshmen. No, says the preppies, it belongs to the seniors. No, says the band members, it belongs to everyone. I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture High." Suddenly, the image on the screen changed to a view of a large building, with a teenage-looking girl - with red and yellow hair who appeared to be wearing a black jacket - who was gesturing towards the building inspiratinally, with a devious look in her eyes. The voice continued to speak. "...Where the newspaper committee would not fear the censor, where the class clowns would not be bound by petty morality. Where the great would not be constrained by the small. And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture High can become your high school as well." The screen began to flicker again, before it suddenly went blank - now a plain, glowing white square illuminating the dark auditorium. Welp, Twilight has really done it this time. There is another door on the other side of the room from the closet with a glowing red "exit" sign. There's not much to do, so what will Twilight do next? (Do nothing and sit in the audience chair, quivering in terror - chapter 4) or (Trot through the exit and take the risk of seeing this high school first hoof, so to speak - chapter 5) Welcome to Rapture High - Part 2 (chapter 3)Some sneaky ninja-pony skills should do the trick here. Twilight hops up and uses her new wings to try and fly up to the ventilation shaft. All goes well until she remembers something - she was still learning how to really pull off vertical flight. See, flying forward is easy because you're gliding and all, but flying upwards is a whole different story. Rainbow Dash was still giving Twilight some pointers, but whenever Twilight did try to fly up vertically without the practice, she tended to veer forward a little too much for comfort. Sounding like a plane careening towards earth itself, Twilight flew off-balance and awkwardly tumbled forwards for the door instead of the vent. With a loud crash, she burst through the door anyway. Well, that was some entrance. (go to Chapter 2) The Dark Auditorium (chapter 5)Feeling bold, Twilight goes straight for the door and tries to open it. Unfortunately, it's locked. Completely disgusted that the emergency exit door was locked, and that this would be breaking safety code 4155 for auditoriums in Equestria as opposed to this dumb old place, Twilight grumbled in annoyance. That is, until she heart footsteps from behind the emergency exit. After hearing the footsteps behind the door, Twilight figured that, hey, maybe having the only door out - and in - being locked wasn't such a bad thing after all, right? Eheheheh... heh... cough cough. (Go on to chapter 4) The Performing Arts Wing (chapter 7)Twilight decides to look in the greenroom. Trotting down the hall, Twilight sneaks around a corner and into a door just beside the door to the auditorium's backstage area. Twilight takes a cautious look inside the room before finally trotting fully inside. The greenroom is a pretty roomy greenroom. About ten by fifty feet, and ten feet tall, the room feels like a kind of oasis from the dark, expansive hallway of The Performing Arts Wing. Couches line the walls, with small coffee tables separating each of them from each other. Unlike the hallway, the greenroom was lit with a yellowish light emanating from a rustic lamp in each of the four corners of the room - save for the corner with the door Twilight had just walked in from. The yellowed lights of the room revealed a ridiculously green carpet, plain white walls, and an ornate ceiling. There is also a door on the opposite side of the room from where Twilight had just trotted in from, but after trying the handle, the door seemed to be locked. Also in the room was a small tape, and a tape recorder. The tape recorder has a small mic attached to it - which appears broken. However, a speaker on the tape recorder still looks like it's in good working condition. Out of curiosity, Twilight placed the tape in the tape recorder and played back the tape: Apple Bumpkin, The Greenroom Prank: "Ever since Andset Ryshimmer auditioned for her first play here at Rapture, the whole performing arts structure collapsed; she became the most popular student in the school on the first week of the first play's performance. When that happened, all the other students, and us student actors for that matter, just sank into the shadows... It wasn't until Babs locked the door of the green room to the auditorium's backstage area as a prank on Andset in order to get back at her that the fire really began though. When Andset tried to get into the backstage area from the greenroom for her queue in the play, she couldn't open the door! It was hilarious, and it was everything we could do to keep from laughing our faces off as Andset practically tried every way to open a locked door which we could think of, no matter how ridiculous. She finally used the other door in the hallway for to get into the backstage area, of course. Babs probably should have tried locking that one too - although, she might have been caught if she tried locking it out there, and the only way she kept from getting caught locking the door in the greenroom was to hide the key under the couch next to the backstage door. The prank was good though. Good times, good times. After listening to the tape, Twilight ducked down and looked under the couch next to the backstage door and saw a key caked with dust. After lifting the key and blowing the dust off, Twilight placed the key in a pouch she had strapped to her side ever since she had first trotted into Princess Celestia's throne room. After thinking about this for a moment, Twilight figured that any other locked doors in Rapture High would need a specific key in order to open those specific doors, and the only way to find those specific keys was to look around and see if she could find them in any of the unlocked rooms. After having an insightful reflection, Twilight looked around the room once more and found nothing else of interest. So, where to go next? (Use the new key to unlock the door to the auditorium's backstage area from the greenroom - chapter 8) (Return to the hallway - chapter 6) The Performing Arts Wing (chapter 8)Twilight chooses to go to the auditorium's backstage. After trotting through the door, Twilight finds herself in a room even darker than the auditorium and the hallway combined. It's practically pitch black, besides the occasional red backstage light which dimly illuminates Twilight's surroundings. Luckily, after trying to adjust her eyes to the light, Twilight notices a stale breadstick lying on top of a wooden crate. Figuring that a stale breadstick oughtta count for "a crowbar or something", Twilight snatches up the breadstick and hovers it in front of her. With the breadstick in hand - erm, magical levitation thing - Twilight trots on feeling more confident than ever before into the darkness ahead of her. Suddenly, a loud thud stops her in her tracks. Looking ahead, Twilight sees another spider human. "I never leave home without my partyOOF!" she manages to say, before Twilight nails her with her epic new breadstick. The human falls over, unconscious. "Dang, this must be one stale breadstick..." Twilight mutters to herself. Twilight was about to give up looking around backstage when something caught her eye - a pink vending machine of some kind, with bottles of rainbow-colored liquid inside. Trotting closer, Twilight was able to make out the words "Rainbow Juice A" written on the label of the red-tinted bottles, and "Rainbow Juice E" written on the label of the blue-tinted bottles. Curious, Twilight snatched one of the red-tinted bottles and drank it. "Gah!" Twilight coughed. It was at that moment that Twilight realized that rainbow juice really wasn't known for its flavor after all. Suddenly, Twilight began to feel shaky, like she'd drank twelve cups of Equestrian espresso coffees. "Steady now," Somlas spoke through the radio, "your genetic code is being rewritten - just hold on and everything will be fine!" Feeling dizzy, Twilight fainted. (Go on to chapter 10) The Performing Arts Wing (chapter 9)Twilight decides to head towards the music department. The same music Twilight heard earlier in the hallway seems to be getting louder, and it sounds fresh - like someone is playing it on piano, rather than if it were being played as a recording. Twilight cautiously turns her head around the corner of the door which leads into the music department. In an instant, the music stops playing, and nopony (or, 'nobody' in this case) can be seen. Feeling confident, Twilight trots into the room, while looking every which way in the process. Suddenly, she hears a noise behind her, and she looks around - unfortunately, it's another one of those spider humans. Pink dyed skin, intimidating animation style, slap-happy look on her face, and holding two candy canes in each of her hands like hooks. Unfortunately, you have nothing to defend yourself with, and the remote-controlled car ran out of pies to throw; if that's not unlucky, then I don't know what is. "I gotchya now! Did I scare ya?" Fashionably Bad End luckily, Twilight can still use her horn for time travel into the past, landing you in Chapter 6. (Go back to Chapter 6) The Dark Auditorium (Chapter 4)Twilight, being completely shaken by this "human" thing on the screen, suddenly felt unsure of what to do next. Far away from Equestria, and in some alien world, she could not help herself but to continue to sit in her chair, completely dumbfounded. Suddenly, a radio-controlled car drove right up next to her, catching her by surprise. Besides the unsettling idea that some radio-controlled car had appeared out of nowhere, what was even more unsettling was the fact that it had a small radio attached to it. After some garbled crackling, a voice suddenly came clear through the device - a different voice than the one which was speaking during the Rapture High presentation. "I don't know how you survived that inter-dimensional shift, but I'm not one to question providence," the voice began, "I'm Somlas, and I aim to keep you alive. Now keep on moving... we're gonna have to get you to higher ground." Suddenly, the door under the exit sign unlocks, and unhinges slightly, revealing a hallway behind it. "Take a deep breath, and step out of the auditorium. I won't leave you twisting in the wind." Twilight takes a deep breath, and trots for the exit, trying to keep her wits about her. (go on to chapter 6) Welcome to Rapture High - Part 1 (START HERE)"Twilight, I have a special test for you to accomplish now that you have become a princess." Princess Celestia declared. "What is it?" Twilight asked. "Please, wait here." Princess Celestia stated, before she trotted away from the room. Twilight looked around once again; the throne room was just as decorated as it usually was. Suddenly, Twilight heard hoofsteps. Turning to see the source of the noise, Twilight saw Princess Celestia carrying a mirror behind her. "This mirror, Twilight, will allow you to see your greatest wish. I want you to look at it, and tell me what you learn." The Princess stated. Pfft, just some mirror, eh? What could possibly go wrong? Twilight trotted forward and looked into the mirror. Unfortunately, the moment she did so, a whirlpool appeared in the mirror. Just a plain old whirlpool. "Princess Celestia, I see a whirlpool." "Oh, yes, a whirl... wait, what?" Twilight cried out in surprise when she suddenly realized she was being sucked into the mirror. Before she knew it, she was spinning in circles - twisting and contorting in hyperspace travel - before she landed on the ground. "Whoo, that was weird. Princess Celestia, I don't know what you were talking about at a-" Twilight stopped talking for a minute as she took in her surroundings. Everything was different - she seemed to be in some kind of closet. Twilight got up on her hooves, and noticed a broom, a bucket, some towels lying around here and there, and a dust sweeper; besides that, there was a door in front of her, and a ventilation shaft above her. "Where am I?" Twilight said to herself. Where was she was right - because Twilight was about to have the survival horror experience of her life. Of course, before every adventure, the protagonist has to do something to start it off. What does Twilight do? (She opens the door and trots outside - Chapter 2) Or (She flies up to the ventilation shaft and crawls through - Chapter 3) The Performing Arts Wing (chapter 6)Twilight trots through the exit of the auditorium and finds herself in a dark hallway. A mural of musical notes can be seen decorating the wall as far as the eye can see. Posters reading "Student Artist of the Month: Sandy Cohoof" and "Vote Andset Ryshimmer for Student Government President" are scattered here and there, some on the wall, and some which had fallen onto the floor. Further along the end of the hallway, some kind of music seems to be playing, making the scene more... eerie. Suddenly, Twilight hears a disturbance a little way down the hallway. A few posters which were just lying on the ground had visibly been lifted into the air somehow, and were slowly floating down to the ground. "I'll wrap you in last year's fashion of a sheet." The overtly girl-stereotype voice saying those words came across as utterly terrifying to Twilight. It was in that moment when Twilight realized that she would need to keep her wits about her for the time being, if she ever hoped to get out of here. Alive. "Just a bit further..." piped up Somlas. Twilight moves forward as Somlas suggests, only to see something turn around the corner out of nowhere - it was some kind of human, dyed in pink, holding two candy-cane hooks in both of her hands. What was worse, her body was nearly as thin as her neck was, and her animation design was even more intimidating than the versions Twilight had seen on the projector screen in the auditorium just minutes earlier. The human looked at her, with an overtly slap-happy look on her face. Just then, a random remote-controlled car once again drove right into the hallway, launching apple pies at the human abomination. Overwhelmed by the surprise, the human dodged the apple pie projectiles and jumped onto the wall, crawling up it with her candy-cane claws. "Hah! How do you like that, human!" Somlas yelled from the intercom as the spider human disappeared into a ventilation shaft above her. "Now, would you kindly find a crowbar or something?" Twilight decides that she might as well look for a "crowbar or something". Might be good for fending off humans in the future. Where to look first? (Return to the auditorium - chapter 4) (Go to the greenroom - chapter 7) (Go to the auditorium's backstage - chapter 8) (Go to the music department - chapter 9) Upon further inspection, there are more doors that lead to more places - but they are currently locked for some reason. The Performing Arts Wing (chapter 10)Twilight's vision slowly starts to come back. Blurry, but still coming back. "Look, Mr. Bubbles, it's an angel - I can see light coming from its belly." Twilight tries to move, but finds that she is too exhausted to make any effort to get up at all. Instead, she tries to gaze up at the source of the voice. It appears to be a humanized version of Sweetie Belle, standing next to some kind of tall high school senior wearing a bright orange vest. "...Wait a minute, she's still breating." the humanized Sweetie Belle declares. "It's alright, I know she'll be an angel soon." The humanized Sweetie Belle begins to walk off into the darkness, with the orange-vested senior slowly following her, making audible, intimidating thudding noises with each step. With that, Twilight loses consciousness once again. Waking up, Twilight finds that she is feeling normal again. Slowly getting onto her four hooves again, Twilight takes another look around the backstage area. Looks like not much has changed. Except for one thing - Twilight starts to notice that she is feeling like she has a lot more energy than she had before she drank that rainbow juice. That, and when she raises her left hoof into her field of vision, she can see small fireworks bursting forth from it it. "You alright? First time plasmid's a real kick from a mule. But... There's nothing like a fistful of confetti, is there?" Feeling adventurous, Twilight flicked her hoof forward - as a result, an explosion shot from her her hoof, firing confetti and blinding light out in front of her. Friendship Plasmid, "Party Cannon": blind and confuse your enemies with a burst of confetti and strobe lights, right from your very hooves! Get the edge on your foes by proving to them that you never leave home without this party plasmid, you party animal you! Looking around the backstage area once more, Twilight realizes that she still can't see very much. Although there could be other doors in the darkness, the only door she can see is the door she came through earlier. (Return to the hallway - chapter 11)
Welcome to Rapture High - Part 2 (chapter 2)Twilight decides to casually trot through the door. Besides, what could possibly go wrong?

Suddenly, the image on the screen changed to a view of a large building, with a teenage-looking girl - with red and yellow hair who appeared to be wearing a black jacket - who was gesturing towards the building inspiratinally, with a devious look in her eyes. The voice continued to speak. "...Where the newspaper committee would not fear the censor, where the class clowns would not be bound by petty morality. Where the great would not be constrained by the small. And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture High can become your high school as well." The screen began to flicker again, before it suddenly went blank - now a plain, glowing white square illuminating the dark auditorium. Welp, Twilight has really done it this time.

(Return to the auditorium - chapter 4) (Go to the greenroom - chapter 7) (Go to the auditorium's backstage - chapter 8) (Go to the music department - chapter 9) Upon further inspection, there are more doors that lead to more places - but they are currently locked for some reason.
The Performing Arts Wing (chapter 10)Twilight's vision slowly starts to come back. Blurry, but still coming back. "Look, Mr. Bubbles, it's an angel - I can see light coming from its belly." Twilight tries to move, but finds that she is too exhausted to make any effort to get up at all. Instead, she tries to gaze up at the source of the voice. It appears to be a humanized version of Sweetie Belle, standing next to some kind of tall high school senior wearing a bright orange vest. "...Wait a minute, she's still breating." the humanized Sweetie Belle declares. "It's alright, I know she'll be an angel soon." The humanized Sweetie Belle begins to walk off into the darkness, with the orange-vested senior slowly following her, making audible, intimidating thudding noises with each step. With that, Twilight loses consciousness once again. Waking up, Twilight finds that she is feeling normal again. Slowly getting onto her four hooves again, Twilight takes another look around the backstage area. Looks like not much has changed. Except for one thing - Twilight starts to notice that she is feeling like she has a lot more energy than she had before she drank that rainbow juice. That, and when she raises her left hoof into her field of vision, she can see small fireworks bursting forth from it it. "You alright? First time plasmid's a real kick from a mule. But... There's nothing like a fistful of confetti, is there?" Feeling adventurous, Twilight flicked her hoof forward - as a result, an explosion shot from her her hoof, firing confetti and blinding light out in front of her. Friendship Plasmid, "Party Cannon": blind and confuse your enemies with a burst of confetti and strobe lights, right from your very hooves! Get the edge on your foes by proving to them that you never leave home without this party plasmid, you party animal you! Looking around the backstage area once more, Twilight realizes that she still can't see very much. Although there could be other doors in the darkness, the only door she can see is the door she came through earlier. (Return to the hallway - chapter 11)
