The Story

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Fluttershy walked down the corridor and over to the lounge where all her co-workers worked. Fluttershy was shocked to find the lounge empty. The computers were still turned on, and the coffee cups were still smoking. Even the copy machine were turned on, and every empoyee knew that it had to be shut off before anyone could leave, or the boss would get a large electricity bill.

Fluttershy, being the element of kindness, decided to turn off the computers and the copy machine. She also took the still warm coffee cups and cleaned them in the sink. No employee had ever left their coffee cup warm, everypony useally drink it up. When Fluttershy was finished doing the dishes, she walked over to the large window overlooking Manehatten skyline. There were still ponies down in the streets, and the traffic was running like normal. But still, no pony in the building. "What could have possibly happen here?" Fluttershy said to herself.

Fluttershy decided to go up and see her boss. He might know what's going on. So Fluttershy started walking down the corridor to reach the elevator.

On the way there, she found a door with a sign saying "Broom Closet". For some reason, Fluttershy thought that she should enter the broom closet, so she did. Inside, everything looked like a normal broom closet. I've personally never heard of an unusual broom closet before, Fluttershy might have thought that it was special, since this company's employees had all suddently vanished. Fluttershy looked around and took a good look on every single detail in the broom closet. Why is this happening? that broom closet is not mentioned in my manuscript, Fluttershy is supposed to walk down the corridor and take a left with a door and reach an elevator. This is weird. Hey Fluttershy, you're not really supposed to go in there, my manuscript says that you're gonna go see your boss, not enjoy the view of a broom closet. Fluttershy looked very confused for a moment, then she walked out of the broom closet, and continued down the corridor. I hope small detours like this doesn't occur again. If it does, something is wrong with the story.

When Fluttershy came to a set of two open doors, she entered the door on the left. No Fluttershy, that's the wrong door. Fluttershy entered the door on the right, and that door led to the break room. Oh well, every employee loves the break room, so why not let this detour slide? I personally like break rooms myself, it's where I can relax at work.

Fluttershy entered the break room and shut the door behind her. She smiled as she walked through the break room, looking at everything in there. I agree it's a beautiful room, it reminds every employee about home, where they can relax after a hard day at work, and forget about work till they wake up in the morning from an annoying alarm clock, telling them to get back to work again. Fluttershy sat down in her favorite chair, a chair right next to a window with a plant next to it. The plant looked like a little tree, and I kinda get it why Fluttershy loves sitting there than any other place at work. But now, it was time to move on. We've wasted enough time now. Fluttershy kept sitting in the chair, enjoying the view and the plant. Hey Fluttershy uh, we're not really supposed to be in this room, can you please move on? have you already forgotten about seeing your boss?
Fluttershy's eyes suddently grew big, and she looked around, she got up of the chair, and started walking again out of the break room towards the elevator. Ok, now everything is back on track again. But I wonder if more of this is gonna occur. Let's hope not.

Fluttershy finally reached the elevator, and she took the elevator up to the floor where her boss' office were located. Upon reaching the floor, she walked straight down the corridor to the boss' office door. Some employees feared the boss, because he could get angry fast and could easily fire anyone. But Fluttershy, didnt' fear him anymore since he had been so kind to her. So Fluttershy gently knocked 3 times on the door, and walked into the office.

*Gasp* was heard from Fluttershy. The boss was not in his office. It was all empty like the co-worker lounge. And now everything suddently got more mysterious: why is the boss not in his office? all his meetings with other administrators had been finished last week, and he sure had not gone to vacation. The boss hates vacations, his job is everything in his mind. Fluttershy was now beyond lost. Her own boss is gone, and there's no one else in the building. Fluttershy began to look around the boss' office, see if there was any sign of him, or at least if he had left a note. The only thing Fluttershy found interesting, was a keypad lock on the wall behind the desk. Fluttershy wondered what the keypad lock was for, because there were no safe or any door to some achive room. She had no idea what the code was, so she couldn't find out what the keypad lock was for. Hmmm, this is weird, my manuscript says that I should read the code so Fluttershy can hear it. Alright manuscript, if you say so. "10-10-10". lol? is that the code? Fluttershy could have easily guessed it herself. But what is written in the manuscript, is my order to complete.

Well, after Fluttershy had "randomly" pushed buttons, she had gotten the code right, and a hidden door was revealed. She wondered where it might lead to. So she entered the door, and stepped into a dark corridor. She got a bit afraid, and really wanted to go back again, but she also wanted to find out were everypony had gone to. With a bit more courage, she continued walking into the dark corridor.
She reached the end of the corridor. A door with a lightbulb over it. She knocked on it, and stepped inside. Inside, was a room with two doors. A brown one, and a yellow one. Fluttershy walked through the yellow door. No wait Fluttershy! wrong door. You're supposed to go through the brown one! She's done it again. Walked through wrong door. And seeing different colors are even easier than the difference between left and right. I wonder why this happened again.
Fluttershy walked down the wrong corridor, to a new door that is totally wrong. She knocked on it, and walked through it. On the inside, there were just a big orange large room, with the walls not completely painted yet. Fluttershy wondered what kinda room this was. Well I'll tell you Fluttershy, this room is not a part of the story, so we left it in this state. You didn't want to listen and you walked in the wrong directions leading to wrong rooms, thus, ruining the entire story. Now I've said it. Fluttershy though, walked around the empty half orange room and checked all details that could be checked. I don't get it? what's so very interesting about this room? it's just big and half orange, so what? I've never thought I would say this but, I don't know what to do now. Fluttershy doesn't like the story I'm reading, so..., what to do now?
hmmmm....ding! Yeah! I know what to do now! Hey Fluttershy, since you didn't like the story, maybe I can make a game for you or something? Fluttershy nodded, and was waiting for something to happen. Ok now, uhhh...what kinda game is perfect for Fluttershy? let's see...gonna check my game library here...., ehh...oh! this one! here Fluttershy, let me take you to this world.
Fluttershy was now suddenly standing in the middle of a forest. A forest build up by blocks. This is the game. It's very easy for a pony like you, you just walk around, chop down trees, and build yourself a house! here, let me build a house just for you. Fluttershy hears footsteps, but can't see me. She keeps looking around as I, the narrator, chops down some trees, and make them into planks with my bare hands! After some time with placing blocks looking like planks, I was finished. Look at it Fluttershy! it's a house made of blocks! and I made it just for you! What do you think? is it nice? is it not nice? can I make it nicer? She said nothing. She just looked around worried, she wondered why there was a voice speaking to her, and why she suddently weren't in Equestria anymore. She had seen a house being build by an invisible man, (me), and coudn't understand why all this is happening to her. "Where am I? I wanna go home! I've worked so hard! please let me go home whoever's speaking to me!" Fluttershy started crying. It was such a sad sight. How could I do this? I didn't mean to do all this, I just got a manuscript by my own boss, and he told me to read it. I better quit in this job. I've made somepony cry. Man I regret taking this job. I'm qutting right now. Oh wait, first, I gotta send Fluttershy home. *shoot". Ok, now Fluttershy should be back home. Now, time to tell the boss that I'm quitting. This has been the worst work day of my life! I've made Fluttershy cry. The worst thing ever!

hmmm, I think I better finish it first, I'll make it the end good. That's the least thing I can do.
