The MLP Horror Show
Chapter 5: The Game
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRarity and Applejack went west, and they are now walking down some stairs. As they go deeper, it gets darker. “Gosh, it’s mighty dark down here.” Applejack said, bluntly. Then she realized something. She turned to face her friend. “Hey Rar, could ya light up that horn of yours?” she asked.
“You know, that could work.” Rarity realized. She lit up her horn into a sky blue aura.
“Hi!” a young colt shouted.
Rarity and Applejack screamed, and Applejack hopped onto Rarity. “Oh, are ya one of those guests Gregory was talkin about?” Applejack asked, calming down from the scare.
“Yes!” Roulette Boy answered with a happy grin on his face. “I’m Roulette Colt! Now that you saw me, you get to spin me!”
Applejack looked with a confused face. “…Come again?” she finally asked.
“It looks like we have to play a game.” Rarity answered for Roulette.
“Yep!” he seemed to have agreed with Rarity. “You have to play the game! If you win, you can go back upstairs!”
“And if ya lose?” Applejack asked nervously.
“You die!” Roulette shouted with glee, then he giggled with joy.
“What?!” Rarity screamed in horror. “One of us will die?!”
“Yep!” Roulette replied still in a happy tone. “So go ahead and spin me!” He pointed to his head. It was something that you’d spin in board games!
“Well, Rar.” Applejack spoke, facing Rarity. “It’s time we say our farewells, and hope we live…”
She hugged Rarity with a tear in her eye. “Farewell, Applejack.” She cried, quietly in her ear. She then took the courage in spinning the little turntable. It landed on a 5.
“Move 5 squares!” Roulette told Rarity. She did what he said, hoping for the best. “Safe!” Roulette said in a happy tone. Rarity wiped her forehead, while giving a big sigh.
“Good job, Rar!” Applejack shouted, encouragingly. She then spun the wheel. It landed on a 3.
“Move 3 squares!”
“Darn.” She muttered. She then moved 3 squares.
“Safe!” Roulette shouted again.
“Wow.” Applejack spoke. “Maybe it ain’t so bad?”
“Don’t get your hopes up.” Rarity said, discouraged. She then spun the wheel.
“Move 8 squares!” She did so. Then, she exploded. But she wasn’t dead, just full of soot and scars. “Bomb!” Roulette shouted in a really happy tone. He then was laughing.
“That hurts, you know Applejack…” Rarity stated, while a bit dizzy.
“Sorry ta hear that…” Applejack spoke in a concerned tone, while spinning.
“Move 6 squares!” She did so, wondering why she was always getting 2 behind Rarity. Her thoughts were interrupted when she exploded. The same effect was happening to her when it did Rarity. “Yaaaay more bombs!” Roulette cried with joy in his voice.
“Now I know what ya meant…” Applejack told Rarity. Rarity didn’t answer Applejack, as she was already spinning.
“Move 2 Squares!” Roulette told her. She did so, but a bit slower to the pain she previously received. “Here’s a present for ya!” Roulette gave Rarity something called a Break Card.
“Thank you…” She then smiled, but it was a fake. Roulette didn’t seem to notice though, as he was already heading to Applejack. Applejack spun the wheel.
“Move 1 square!”
“Gosh darn it!” Applejack muttered in an annoyed tone, as she moved onto that one square, with a bit hesitation, considering the bomb. She then was struck down by a heavy weight, and it was holding her down.
“Weights!” Roulette then giggled at the sight.
“Ah…Ah can’t move!" Applejack struggled. "Rarity, ya gonna have ta spin twice.”
“Oh dear…” Rarity spoke. She then spun twice, like she was told to. It was a 8, and then a 4. She moved to both spaces, but they were both bombs. So, she basically exploded twice. “I guess Spikey-Wikey was right…” Rarity said to Applejack, who’s weight was being lifted up.
“What do ya mean?” Applejack asked in confusion.
“You can explode twice.” She said.
“Oh, right.” Applejack remembered. She then spun again.
“Move 2 Squares!” Applejack did so. “Here’s a present for ya!” Roulette gave Applejack a Green Herb.
“Thanks…” Applejack spoke to Roulette. But then Rarity got her attention.
“I’m sorry…” Rarity used the Break Card she still had, and the Herb Applejack just received was shattered. “…but I want to live….” She added.
“RARITY!!!” Applejack shouted, in anger.
“I’m sorry…” She spun the wheel as a tear stroked down her face.
“The Element of Generosity, everypony…” Applejack mumbled.
“Oh hush!” Rarity spat.
“Move 5 squares!” She did so, but very slowly as she was in a lot of pain.
“Huh? Goal?” She then realized something…Something so horrid.
“You win!” Roulette summed up her thoughts.
“No…” she cried.
“Rarity…” Applejack spoke her name in pain.
“I’m sorry…” Rarity apologized, tears streaming down her face. “I love you, Applejack…”
“Ah love ya too, Rarity…” Applejack spoke. She has always loved her, more than just a friend, that is.
“This is mah fate. I accept it…” She then takes a few steps back, and then…she exploded. She didn’t have a pulse.
“Nngh… NO!” Rarity shouted. She tried to run to the corpse, but she was in so much pain, she fell face first. Then, her horn cracked. Rarity never woke back up. Roulette then had somewhat of a sad look on his face.
“Well, I guess they both lose…”
