It has been fifteen minutes since they entered the Everfree, and there is a moment of silence between the Mane 6 and Spike. Fluttershy finally broke the moment of silence.

“Um…Maybe we should turn back now…” she squeaked. “We can’t find the place now can we?”

“C’mon, Flutters!” Rainbow complained.

“We can’t back out now!” “We can’t!” Pinkie exclaimed. “Look!”

She points to what looks like a hotel. It was obviously at least a bit spooky, considering it being in the Everfree Forest. But it wasn’t just that. It also had an eerie feeling to it, like they shouldn’t be there. They all walked to the entrance.

Applejack squinted her eyes to get a look at what the hotel’s name was. “Gregory House…” She read. She turned to her friends. “Why the hay would they name a house like that?” she asked.

“I don’t know.” Spike answered. “But it looks really scary…”

“They really need a better décor in my opinion.” Rarity commented. And it did! The hotel did look a bit damaged, and the plants were dying.

“This looks like the place.” Twilight concluded. “We need to go in…” They all head inside the hotel. But they have no idea what they were in for….

The interior didn’t look as bad as it did on the outside. But it still had that same eerie feeling from earlier. “I don’t know about this girls…” Fluttershy seemed kinda scared when saying this. “This seems really-“ She was interrupted when a stallion appeared right in front of her. “AH!” She shrieked, hiding behind Twilight.

The stallion was a grey unicorn, with a dull blonde mane. He had on a dark red tee, with a pink sweater on. His cutie mark was a bell, considering him a receptionist. “Oh, I’m terribly sorry for scaring you like that…” The stallion spoke with sincerity. Or, was it sincerity? “My bad…”

“It’s alright.” Twilight said, forgiving the stallion. “We know you didn’t mean to scare her like that.”

“What do you want from us?” Rainbow asked, with a distrusting tone in her voice.

“Now Rainbow, that ain’t a way to treat a fellow stranger!” Applejack corrected her.

“It’s alright. I did scare her friend after all.” The stallion answered.

“Anyways, I’m Pinkie Pie!” She held her hoof out towards the stallion. “What’s your name?”

“Oh. How rude of me. I’m Gregory. Welcome to our “heavenly” hotel!” Gregory introduced the hotel, while shaking Pinkie’s hoof.

“Gregory, was it? I have to say, your sweater is certainly ravishing!” Rarity complimented, trying to be polite.

“Why thank you. Would you ponies…and dragon?” Gregory noticed Spike on Twilight’s back.

“Yeah, don’t see much of us around these parts, do you?” Spike asked, jokingly.

“No. I actually haven’t.” He remarked. He then mumbled something under his breath, then cleared his throat. “Would you all like a room?” He asked.

“Um, no thanks.” Twilight answered politely. “We are just here to look around.”

“Oh, is that so? Are you sure?” Gregory asked again, trying to convince them. “You look very tired.”

“We’re sure.” Twilight wasn’t going to lose this round easily.

“Well…Have a pleasant stay!” Gregory said, with a grin. “Just call me down if you change your minds. Oh! Also, there are guests around the hotel, just so you know." He then walks down the hallway with his candle, then disappears from sight.
