Pinkie Pie bounced happily. "Girls! Girls! I got a letter from my sisters, Inkie and Blinkie!"
The girls stopped their doings and trotted towards Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie squealed,
"OOOH! I can't hardly wait to open it!"
Pinkie Pie slowly opened the seal, but then she stopped.
"W-wait, what if it's horrible news? What if somepony died? What if somepony got sick? What if they couldn't do anything about something but I had the cure and they didn't know so they asked me if I had anything and I said yes but when I gave it to them it would be to late and somepony died and it would all be my fault because I didn't open the freaking letter and then they would send me to pony prison and I would stay there with my lucky harmonica and these meany ponies would stare at my in my stripe clothes and then I would have to turn into a bad guy...*GAASP* I WOULD TURN INTO PINKAMENA DIANE PIE: THE EVIL AND KILL EVERYPONY just like I did in the very first place and I would get executed for the things I have done and it would all be because I didn't open the letter!"
Everypony stared.
"Did you get it?" Rarity asked.
"Not a word." Rainbow Dash replied.
"Sugar cube, just open the letter." Applejack said.
Pinkie Pie opened the letter and read it out loud,
Dear Pinkie Pie,
Hey Pinkie Pie! It's us, your sisters, Inkie and Blinkie! It's been a long while since we wrote a letter to you. We have gotten your letters about your adventures with your friends, and how you got to save Equestria from King Sombra, and how you got your cutie marks messed up, but anyway, I think you and your friends from ponyville deserve a break! The rocks from Dad's rock farm turned into some cool kind of brick. We made it into a hotel, and business is going great! We want to invite you and your friends over to the hotel, so we can get to know you guys better, and catch up on our lives. Hope you guys can make it!
Hugs and kisses,
Inkie and Blinkie
Pinkie Pie stopped reading and asked, "Well girls, can you guys make it?"
Twilight thought for a moment. "Well, I don't have a busy schedule, I'd be happy to go, and besides, I need a break."
"Us Pegasi don't need to change the weather for another week, yeah, I think I can make it." Rainbow Dash said happily.
Rarity squeaked. "I have no orders this month, so it will be a treat to join you!"
Fluttershy softly spoke, "OH! I can go! Oh- Umm... if it is okay with you I mean."
Applejack cheerily replied, "I don't got nothin' to be doin' so I guess dat' I can be goin'."
Pinkie pie bounced up and down. "YAY! You all can join me and my sisters! it will be SO much FUN! We have to go pack our bags RIGHT NOW! Oh wait! If we pack our bags RIGHT NOW and leave to the train station, we might be TOO EARLY and the train conductor might tell us to hold our horses, but since we're ponies, we are technically horses but prettier, but anyway, we would accidentally stay put too long and my sisters will get worried and I would loose my reputation of being on time, and I would have to go to jail for loosing my reputation, and I would have to move from jail to pony prison, and these meany ponies would literally FORCE me to become a bad pony, and I would rob banks and steal bits and candy from fillies, AND IT WOULD ALL BECAUSE WE PACKED OUR BAGS RIGHT NOW!!!!"
Everyone stared.
Rarity finally spoke, "Did you-"
Rainbow Dash responded, "Not a single word."
A few hours later, the ponies packed their bags and then headed to the train station.
"Are you sure I can't go with you Twilight? You know, just for safety." Flash asked in plead.
Twilight told him, "For the 45th time, yes I am VERY sure so you DON'T have to ask me again."
"Okay fiiiine...." he said solemnly.
Spike budged in. "What about me Twilight, I can help carry your bags!"
Flash whispered. "Let him go."
Twilight replied to Spike, "Okay, you can go. But don't try any funny stuff. No parties and ponies for you. Understand?"
Spike laughed. "Me? Partying all night long and flirting with teen mares? PHHHBT! HAH! Are you serious Twilight? You make me laugh!"
Twilight rolled her eyes and carried on with her friends and their train ride, meanwhile, Spike was behind them dragging bags and cases across the ground putting them into the train.
"Dang it..." Spike spoke under his breath.
The ponies rode on the train for 2 hours and 45 minutes. When they got there, it was about a quarter to 11:15 pm. Everypony was tired and worn out from sitting for 2 hours and so.
The conductor yelled out. "We are at Manehattan!"
The ponies cheered happily, and they trotted off the train. When they got to the hotel, they were greeted by Inkie and Blinkie.
"Girls, these are my sisters, Inkie and Blinkie. The One's I always tell you about." Pinkie Pie bounced up and down.
Rainbow Dash looked puzzled. "Not really ANYTHING you described them as, but yeah, I can see that."
Inkie and Blinkie greeted them. "Hello girls, It's nice to meet you all! You must be tired from your trip here. Come inside, we have special rooms prepared for the seven of you."
Everyone followed the girls into the hotel, but it seemed that Pinkie Pie was the only one who realized that neither Inkie or Blinkie moved their mouths when they spoke. It seemed like Pinkie Pie was the only one who realized that both the girls' pupils had blanked out only to see the yellow of Inkie's eyes and the purple of Blinkie's eyes. It seemed like Pinkie Pie was the only one to realize that something seemed kind of........haunted.
The girls followed Inkie and Blinkie inside of the building.
"Here is your room! Please enjoy your stay." They said this in a robotic sounding voice, that only Pinkie noticed.
Pinkie Pie walked up to them and looked at them strangely. "You girls don't sound....erm....normal. What's up with you?"
They giggled oddly. Inkie replied in a somewhat playful tone. "My dear sister, what ever do you mean? We are perfectly fine!"
Inkie (or that's who she claimed to be) gave Pinkie a playful noogie. Pinkie Pie straightened out her fluffy hair and gave them a look that kinda said "not amused." She knew something was wrong, because she knew that Inkie nor Blinkie would ever do that to her. The two sisters left the room and closed the door with a loud SLAM!!!
Rarity slowly walked to one of the beds and laid down. "Well ladies, lets enjoy this peaceful rest while we can. We will be heading back to ponyville in a couple of weeks you know, and you do know how fast time flies, don't you?"
Everypony nodded and headed to a bed to go to sleep. Time went by. Second by second. Minute by minute. Hour by hour. It became 2:30 am and the group was sleeping like angels. Spike was dreaming about older mares, Twilight was dreaming about books and assignments, Rainbow Dash was dreaming about wonderbolts, Fluttershy was dreaming about angel bunny, Applejack was dreaming about The Grand Fillydelphia Rodeo, Pinkie Pie was dreaming about the Cake's babies, and Rarity was dreaming about Prince Blueblood. Suddenly Rarity was awoken by a thump on the wall.
"Good Heavens!" She cried out when she quickly arose. "What in the name of Celestia was that?"
She shrugged and tiptoed quietly downstairs and went to the soda machine to buy a drink. She took out a bit from her coin purse and put it into the machine. She took out a V8 Fusion drink and quietly sipped it. Suddenly, she was again startled by another loud thump on the wall, and this time a muffled scream that seemed as if it was saying "No, please, don't!" She clumsily fell over, startled by the noises, and spilled her drink all over her face.
Rarity got annoyed and raised voice, trying her best not to wake the other ponies. "Good gracious! If your going to party early in the morning, the best thing would be to mind other ponies and KEEP QUIET!"
Rarity went to the nearest public restroom and splashed water all over her messy face. She pulled a paper towel from the slot and dried of her face. Then, she saw...it. The most horrible thing to ever see. It was tragic, it was horrifying, it was....the thump on the wall, and the muffled scream that seemed as it was saying "No, please, don't!"
She saw it in the mirror. It was a door slightly closed, creaking back and forth. Rarity's curiosity got the best of her. She slowly walked over to the door and slowly opened the creaking door. "HELP ME" were the words spelled out in something red. Then suddenly, Rarity stepped in something warm and slimy.
"Oh, please don't tell me it is what I think it is." Rarity said in disgust.
But what Rarity didn't realize was that it wasn't what she thought it was. Then, she noticed the red writing on the wall.
"H-help...m-me?" Rarity said in a shaky voice. Rarity was now getting scared and uncomfortable. "W-what does that mean?"
Then, the creaky door closed behind her and revealed a bloody body, hung on the wall with a butcher's knife. Blood was everywhere. On the floor, on the toilet, the walls, the ceiling, it was even on Rarity's feet.
Rarity cried out as loud as she could. "OH MY GOODNESS! SOMEPONY HELP! **EEEEK!"** She startled everypony in the hotel with her loud shriek.
Meanwhile, deep deep down in a basement, below the bottom floor of the hotel, sit two ponies, one periwinkle, the other grey.
One of them cried out to a dark shadow at the back of the room. "Let us go! Let us out! This is unforgivable! First not being able to communicate with our dear sister, now killing a harmless pony? What is wrong with you?! Who are you?!"
Then a dark unsettling voice spoke. "You have to give me the "target pony" before I can let you go. And if you refuse, I will kill you, your sisters and her friends. You have been warned."
The dark figure put somewhat of a tentacle on the two ponies heads, and then it seemed to sink into their skins. "Now go find her, or your father is next."
They replied in a robotic voice, "Yes demon master"
But deep inside of them, not the mind controlled them, but the real ones, the real Inkie and Blinkie were calling for help, screaming and yelling with all their might. "Help! He's got us! It's got us! We are the real one's! Free us somehow! Help!"
But nopony could hear them, for their minds were paralyzed and controlled with thoughts of evil demons from the place that nopony wants to go: Hell.
