The Story

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.

Epilogue

Fluttershy woke up in her sofa. She had a terrible dream. She dreamt that she didn't had enough money to pay for her cottage, and had to take a job as an office worker for a company that one day lost all it's employees. Only Fluttershy was left in the building, and she got afraid. She even got more afraid when she could hear a mysterious voice talking to her while she went looking for the other employees. After some time, she was not in the building anymore, she had appeared in a forest made out of blocks, and some invisible man had build a house for her. She got so afraid that she started crying and begged the mysterious voice to let her go home. Well, here she is.

Fluttershy was afraid again, she looked around in her living room, she heard the same voice again, and it had just told Fluttershy about the nightmare she just had. "Who's....there?" said Fluttershy. Hoping for an answer. Fluttershy got out of the sofa, and started searching her cottage. Fluttershy found her bunny, Angel, he came down from upstairs, and pointed up, he had defiently found something. Fluttershy flew up to her bedroom. Angel were pointing at a large cabinet where a voice could be heard from. The voice sounded just like the mysterious voice Fluttershy had heard before. What could this mean? "Is there something in there Angel?" Fluttershy asked. Angel just kept pointing. He defiently wanted Fluttershy to open it. So she did.
"Who.....who are you?". Fluttershy spotted a two legged creature in the closet. Sitting with a desk reading a paper that appeared to be a manuscript, behind him was a reel to reel tape recording his readings. "Narrator?" Fluttershy said. Fluttershy was very suprised to have found the narrator in her closet. The narrator had been sitting there this entire story, and he was now trying to make the story end good, because he regretted taking the job as a narrator for a company that make ponies cry. He didn't knew that at first, but he was aware of it now, and had promised to never take a job from that company again. "Umm...what are you doing here in my closet?" said Fluttershy. I am telling this story I said..I mean, said the narrator. The narrator had gotten hungry and he asked kindly if Fluttershy would be kind to give him something to eat. Fluttershy stood there thinking. She wasn't sure, the narrator had made Fluttershy cry, and he was doing this ending to make it good again. He all was sorry for making Fluttershy cry, and he wanted to be forgiven. Fluttershy kept thinking, and the narrator, was hoping to be forgiven. "Um...you're...ok narrator. You made it all good now. I'll make you some food" said Fluttershy. The narrator smiled and thanked her. And now the story can end good. And I can't want to get my hands on some food now, also, something to drink, being a narrator sure makes you thirsty. But I have to end this now. Let's stop this recorder *click*

Prologue

Ahem, let's see, my manuscript is ready, cup of tea, and reading light. Ok.I better begin reading or the readers might get upset.

This is the story of a mare named Fluttershy. Fluttershy is a shy yellow pegasus from Ponyville. Fluttershy worked for a company in a big building where she was employee number 2034. Her job was easy, she sat with a desk and followed orders who came from a computer monitor. It was orders like what buttons to push, how long, and it what order. This was a very simple job, and the pay was low, but Fluttershy still loved the job, because she would do anything to make sure she got money. At least in this situation; she had money trouble, and couldn't pay the rent back home, she needed every Bit she could get hold of now.

Because of her shyness, she had gotten her own office with no windows so she could feel safe from the other co-workers. The other co-workers were a bit, well, they didn't like new employees, so they useally mock the new ones in the building. Fluttershy had been once, and when the boss heard about this, he gave her an office she could work at, totally alone and safe from the other co-workers.

One day, something very mysterious happened. One day when Fluttershy was finished with her lunch, and was ready to take orders from the computer monitor, no words were displayed. It was just a black screen. No administrator had come to inform Fluttershy about this, and she began to think about this situation. "What...is wrong?" Fluttershy whispered to herself. She was in confusion and didn't know what to do. She would knew what to do if an administrator had turned up, but no one came, not even the bully co-workers came, but they had probably gotten a message by the boss to leave Fluttershy alone.

Fluttershy decided to check on the co-workers, even if they would mock her. So Fluttershy stood up from the chair and walked to the door.
