As the it rages on, the Pegasus starts to realise that the storm isnt the only thing scarry at this hotel, this, hotel of horrors.
We'll Leave The Fright On For Ya
Rainbow Dash
Thunder cracked over head. This was Dash's third morning at the 'Banjo Boy' Hotel. Even though the unicorns had accepted her into their hotel, they were still giving Rainbow dirty looks that said "Get da hell outta my hotel!" Even the clerk, an Alicorn named Twilight Sparkle, chose not to assist Dash with anything. The storm was SO intense, that magic couldn't even part the clouds. That or the Unicorns were just lazy as hell. Either way, Dash was still mad.
Rainbow pounded her hoof into the counter. "Well I don't give a damn if you cant fix the storm, it the noises in my room that keep me awake! It sounds like a pon'y voice. I think the hotel is haunted." She yelled for a final time to Twilight, who seemed to reach for something under the counter. Probably a knife. Dash thought.
"Now listen here, Dash," she growled. "My hotel is not, and I repeat, NOT, haunted! Now go back to doing, whatever, or i'll through you out into the storm. Dash stormed out of the lobby. Damn clerk. Shes' probably the one haunting me. Rainbow thought. But she dissmissed the idea. The voice sounded fer to happy and creepy to be Twilight's. Dash walked to the cafeteria, on the other side of the lobby. There she saw Rarity. The only Unicorn who seemed to like her. Dash took her seat by her 'Friend' Rarity set down the menu that she had been levitating.
"Hello Rainbow Dash! Sleep well?" She smiled. Dash smiled too. She shook her head. Sence the first night, Dash thought the storm noises would help her sleep, since they always did. But it was the voice she keept hearing that kept her up. Rarity gave her friend a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry, deary. Was it the, ghost, again?" She said ghost very slowly, as if she was talking to a kindergartener. Rainbow nodded. Uncaring about her friend's comment.
The waiter came by. "For the beauty?" He asked with a twilkle in his eyes, which were settled on Rarity, who giggled. "Why, thank you! I'll have the 'Homard' with extra seasoning!" She giggled again. The Waiter laughed. "And for the Pegasus." He looked at Dash without sympathy. "Just a bottle of vodka." Rainbow laid her head on the table. The waiter grunted.
After he took his notes and left, Rarity looked to Dash. "I thought you didn't drink?" She said.
Dash just shrugged. "Hey Rare? Saantana is performing tonight. Think we can go see it after dinner?" Rarity smiled.
As the stallion sung atop the stage, Dash looked to the empty seat to her right. She swore she saw a pink-ish ghost... of an EarthPony! But as quickly as it had appeared, it disappeared. "Don't worry Dashie! It wont hurt much!" It faded with a laugh. Dash was the only one who herd it, apparently. Rainbow didn't bother screaming. Or raising her hooves and waving to the rythem of the music. She just sighed. Rarity senced her distress. But all Rarity did was put her hoof on Rainbow's leg. That only lasted for a seccond. Rarity turned right back to her music.
The stallion finished his song and everypony cheered. Dash stood up to leave. And when she got back to her room, she slipped her card into the slot to see that it didnt work. Not again... she thought. She would haft to ask twilight for help. That, Dash knew would never happen. But she would haftto ask.
A blood curtailing laugh entered from the down the corridor. Dash's eyes shot open. She saw a pinkish blur that was floating towards her. "Run!" It yelled. Dash obeyed, she shot down the hallway and into the lounge, but no pony was there. "There still listining to Santana..." Dash said aloud. The blur shot from where Dash had emerged. It morphed into the form of a pink earth pony. Dash starred at it in horror. She started to back up, and before she knew it, hit the corner of the lounge.
The ghost finished its transformation and laughed. "Silly Dashie! This is a Unicorn hotel!" She said.
Dash gulped. "B-b-but your a-a-an earth p-pony..." she stumbled.
The ghost laughed. But Earth ponies are just unicorns without horns! Pegasi are unicorns with out horns and with wings."
Dash was confused. "But Twilight is analicorn!" She corrected. The ghost chuckled. "But she still has magic!"
And with that, the ghost ran to dash and flew into dash. Rainbow felt cold, and started to twitch uncontrollably, untill she couldn't move anymore. She fell over and hit the ground, dead.
Rainbow Dash, quite possibly the only pegasus to ever enter the banjo boys hotel, died not long after her seccond night. She was being haunted, and was murdered by the ghost of a former Earth-pony guest named Pinkie Pie. An hour after Dash's demise, Twilight found her body and confermed the cause of death was a seizure. But we know that was not what happened, whe know that dash was killed, alike so manny others in,

The Twilight (Sparkle) Zone
Picture if you will, an antisocial mare who can never lie, and who harbors a deadly secret, murder. She keeps out of the range of others others to avoid news about it. But when the police get suspicious, she goes on the run. The police hire thier best detective, an Alicorn named Twilight, to find this mare who is now forced to accept the only one who will help her, a BlackMarket chief named Fluttershy. But could Fluttershy be in cahoots with Twilight?
Cops And Robbers
Applejack
It had been three days sence Applejack had accidentally killed that pony. He had pulled a knife on her in a bar one night, she had pushed it away from her, she didnt mean to push it into his neck! But it still happened. And there's no changing the past. Applejack escaped her farm and went on the run to applelosa, where she would be able to stay with her cousin Braeburn. But when she got to the train station, she saw the flyer. It was a a wanted poster with Applejack's face on it. Applejack fled to a nearby town of Doge City. There, she had ran into a yellow pegasus with an eyepatch that covered part of a vertical scar. She wore a black trench coat and was almost always smoking a cigarette. She said her name was Fluttershy, but she chuckled when she said it, as if it was ment to be a joke. Applejack didnt get it.
The two took refuge in a broken down hotel which was offering a nights stay for just three bits. The clerk must have been stoned or something, because he didnt recognize applejack, even when she was standing right next to her wanted poster.
Fluttershy had a deep dark voice as she spoke. "Couch or bed?" She asked. Applejack looked at the couch, then the bed. The bed was much nicer than the couch, for one, the bed had a mattress. The couch was a cushion with a huge blood stained hole, that rested only on three large springs. She was thankful for Fluttershy's help, so she wanted the best for her. "I'll take the couch. I can flip over the cushion and sleep there. you deserve the bed."
Futtershy trotted towards the couch. "I've slept on worse. you take the bed kiddo. I don't mind." she smiled. not compassionately, but Applejack could tell that she was trying to. She said her thanks and crawled under the blankets. She never heard Fluttershy sit on the couch though. she was just perched by the window looking out to the street. every once and a while she would sink out of the moon light, into shadows. But that only lasted for a few seconds. At most a minute. Once, she had motioned for Applejack to stay still. The floor they were sleeping on was the ground level, so any passing ponies could see into the room. Applejack did as she was told, and hid. Fluttershy was so small, that she was able to crawl into the hole in the couch and hide. it seemed like an hour before Fluttershy gave the all clear.
"Who are we hiding from?" AJ asked. Fluttershy told her that since she was on the run, the police had probably hired a detective to come looking for her, and that's why Fluttershy had been helping her.
"come on." Fluttershy told her. she opened the window and crawled out. Applejack followed her, but she could see that she wasn't waiting up for her, as she was already flying towards the giant sewer grate, staying so close to the ground. Applejack had to run to catch up with her. "We're heading into the sewers?" AJ was disgusted.
"Yep." Fluttershy said nothing but that. she lifted the grate and descended into the smelly waste.
Three hours later, the two emerged from the sewers and onto a dusty street. On the sides of the street, was a demolished building, two carpenters, and a record store with Johnny Cash records in the windows that had 50% OFF! stickers on them. "Commin'?" Fluttershy was standing in the alleyway between the two carpenter stores. Applejack trotted up to meet her, and found another pony standing in the shadows.
"Fluttershy, I ask for a new recruit and you send me this?" he had a tired Italian accent.
Fluttershy nodded. "She's on the run from your sister." She responded with a smile. The pony walked out of the dark. He was a white unicorn with a sparkling shield as a cutie mark. his eyes were half closed, and bloodshot. He wore a small brown trench coat and a fedora. "What!? My sister is looking fer this runt? No offence, Runt,"
"None taken." Applejack responded.
"Fine, I'll hide her, but where are you goin'?" He said with reluctance.
Fluttershy didn't answer, but ran off. Applejack Turned to the unicorn. She extended her hoof. "I'm Applejack!" She smiled.
The unicorn shook it. "Nice to meet you Applejack, I'm Shining Armour, head of the Doge Mafia. I heard you are on the run from Twilight, my sister?" he turned around, motioned with his tail for her to follow, and walked back into the shadows.
"Yep. You two don't look like siblings..." Applejack said, following the Mafia Leader.
Armour nodded. "Yeah, we get that a lot. The Princess Took pity on 'er when she fell of a cliff. gave 'er life back and a pair of wings." He led Applejack to another alleyway, containing six other ponies. one was a black Pegasus Stallion, two were huddled together under a blanket, one was wearing a wrestler mask, one was laying on his back smoking a huge cigar, and one was a mare wearing a skimpy outfit, dancing to electronic music, and every now and again, would strip a piece of clothing.
"A stripper?" AJ asked. But she already knew the answer. This was the black market. Of course there would be a stripper.
"Yes. Her name it Bess. Short for Bessie. Looking good Bess!" Armour yelled. "Are you into Mares?" He asked.
Applejack shook her head, looking confused. "N-no...?"
Armour looked at her hat. "That's a nice hat. Hey! Shade!" He called out to the Black Pegasus. The Pegasus ran to him, unsheathing his knife. When he reached his boss, he held the knife to Applejack's throat. "Want me to take 'er out?" He sounded like he hadn't slept in a month.
Armour knocked the knife away. "The hell?" He pushed Shade. "I was going to ask you how much you think her hat would sell for!"
Shade looked stunned. "I, uh...well," Before he could finish, red and blue lights came flashing from around the corner, followed by a mare's voice. "All right Applejack. We have you surrounded. Come on out."
Applejack flinched. 'Damn! Twilight' She thought "Guys, I need..." She couldn't finish, due to Armour, Shade, and Fluttershy, (who seemed to have came from nowhere) grabbing her. "Hey hey hey!" she yelled.
"Sorry AJ." Armour said, taking her hat off of her head. "Were working with her."
And as if on cue, Twilight comes walking around the corner, levitating a huge bag of bits with her, dealing out large portions at a time to every one in sight. "Take her away." She commanded.
AJ turned to Fluttershy. "You lied to me!" She yelled. Fluttershy nodded. "I'm a detective. And when I found out about you, I convinced Twilight and her brother, who is my partner, to play a little cops and robbers!"
Applejack was too stunned to say anything, instead just looked at the ones who lied to her. Fluttershy, who had protected her, then betrayed her, Armour, Who was still talking to Shade about AJ hat, and Twilight, Who was moving slowly towards the Police chariot. AJ closed her eyes and began to cry. The last thing she heard before the door closed, was Twilight's voice.
"Take her away."
Applejack, the mare who never lied, gave her trust to a yellow Pegasus named Fluttershy, to help her escape Twilight, the chief of police. But when Fluttershy left to go get supplies, she was caught. But not arrested. To AJ's surprise, Twilight and Fluttershy were just playing with her. Was it possible that Fluttershy was at one point helping her, or has she just entered,
