The Pony of the Operaby kiplingAJChaptersTwoFourOneThreeTwoLa Fluttershy quickly dashed to the place of his murder. "Why hello La Fluttershy, it's so nice to see you." The stallion bowed. It was Prince Blueblood. "Actually, I was supposed to go and visit you in your dressing room." "Why your highness, we've got to go and see about this poor stallion who got strangled up a rope." Twilight explained as she tugged La Fluttershy. One of the administrators was galloping and upon hearing what Twilight said, he stopped. "Keep quiet," He said. "Don't make Flim and Flam's last day sorrowful. Make sure the news about Time Turner's death doesn't reach them." The two shrugged. "By the way, Cadence's performance is pretty splendid tonight." Blueblood grinned. "Impossible," Twilight exclaimed, shocked out of her skull. She looked at La Fluttershy and she stared back at her. "Six months ago, she sang like a rusty hinge!" La Fluttershy rubbed her ears. She can't believe it. They went to out of the backstage and saw everypony applauding Cadence. Cadence looked like she was about to faint. "Yo bro!" Blueblood said as he sat next to his long life friend, Shining Armor. "You seem so pale today, look at Cadence, she seems like she's about to faint and so are you. "Let's go and help her." Shining Armor said as he went down without being timid to talk to a mare. Cadence was abput to faint so Shining Armor brought her to her dressing room. The doctor gave her fist aid and Cadence opened her eyes in front of Shining Armor. "Sir, who are you?" She asked. FourCelestia and Luna, the new managers of Canterlot Opera are quite excited to be the new managers. Oh how excited they were! They kept chatting with Flim and Flam, then the brothers explained main reason why they resigned. "Not only because we want to sell apple cider." Flim explained. "But also because of the opera ghost." Flam said. Celestia and Luna whistled, then they started to giggle as if it was a joke. "He keeps annoying us by many means and reasons. We've gotten enough of his stupid antics." Flim said sadly, since he knew he would never run the opera anymore. "And also because we want to sell apple cider!" Flam butted in. Celestia and Luna laughed louder because it was a joke. "That's very funny!" Celestia snorted along with Luna. "No wonder because it's not real." Luna slapped Celestia's flank. "Ow." "Sorry." "Why don't you believe us?" The brothers asked seriously. "We're serious about this." Celestia and Luna stopped laughing. "Oh." As they talked, they noticed a strange unearthly guest. Nopony questioned where he came from or who he was. Flim and Flam thought he must be a friend of Celestia and Luna, while Celestia and Luna thought that he was a friend of Flim and Flam. OneThe current managers of the Canterlot Opera, Flim and Flam resigned because they wanted to make a buisness of apple cider. So La Fluttershy decided to write a speech about their resignation after tonight's performance, instead of reading it in front of mares and colts. As she was writing, a group of mares suddenly entered the room screaming their skulls out. "The ghost! The ghost! I've seen it!" The dancers were shocked. They started to mumble and look terrified, but La Fluttershy wasn't, which was a very rare occasion. "How does it look like?" La Fluttershy asked. "He wore a white mask and he looked very ugly." A mare named Derpy said. "He's gray, you can only hear him but we really saw him!" Lyra said punching herself with hands, I mean hooves. La Fluttershy turned pale. This can't be right? "He's really UGLY." A voice in the corner came, it was Twilight Sparkle, the daughter of the box five usher Twilight Velvet. "Time Turner should really keep quiet," Twilight said with a calm voice. "The ghost will punish him and that's for sure!" "Tell us more about the ghost!" They started gathering over her, forcing her to tell more about the ghost. They even swore not to tell or even giggle. "I swore not to tell." Twilight pleaded. "Tell us." Vinyl Scratch said forcingly. "Yeah." "Alright," Everypony shushed down as Twilight is about to talk. "My mother is the usher of box five and ahe tells me that he wants it for himself. He leaves gems and bits for mom when she has done her job well. She described him having a half-masked face and a red cape and had green eyes with a purple aura. You know Time Turner? Oh he just keeps telling everyone all about the ghost. He should really keep quiet because he will get misfotunes" "What a silly tall tale Twily." La Fluttershy said as she continued writing, but deep inside she was afraid. "I should've kept my mouth shut." Twilight burst into tears. Fleur Dis Lee entered the room with a worried face. La Fluttershy turned and saw her. "What's wrong Fleur?" "Dr. Hooves, he's..." "He's what" Everyone in the room asked in unison. "Dead." Three"Well, I'm Shining Armor, your old foalhood friend." He said kissing her hoof. "Really?" Cadence blushed but it immediately dissappeared. "Remember the colt who dove into the sea to get your scarf?" Shining Armor asked, his eyes filled with hope. Cadence has given him the sick feeling of love and he swore to only marry the mare he only loved, and that would definetley be a singer. Cadence laughed. "Haha. Really? I don't remember." Everyone in the room laughed, embarrassing him. "Please do go out for a while," Cadence said smiling. "I need to be in peace." Shining Armor left the room and waited for Cadence to go out. But the doctor came out first. "Cadence is okay but she needs to be alone." Shining Armor sat on a chair just next to the door of her dressing room. He heard two ponies talking, or rather having a conversation. "You sang beautifully, my child. The alicorns wept tonight." The voice said. "Oh thanks, I gave you my soul tonight and I'm dead." Cadence replied. "No you're not!" The conversation droned on and on... ••◇◇◆◇◇•• Shining Armor waited for 45 minutes (too long) before Cadence went out of her dressing room wearing a black veil on her face and didn't even bother locking the door. He went inside the room. "Where are you mysterious stallion, I know you're in there! Show yourself." He looked all over the room and saw nopony. "What the-" Shining Armor left the room confused.
