It was only supposed to be a normal day. But it wasn't. Ponies were disappering without a trace. So it's up to Twilight and her friends to figure out what is going on. But once they stumble upon The Gregory House, what will happen next? Will they find out what has happened to these ponies? Will they make it out alive?

Chapter 2: The Gregory House

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.

OK, this one is alot longer than the last one. I hope this is better. The next one is very short, so you don't have to wait for long. Enjoy!

Chapter 3: The Separation

Twilight turned to her friends. “OK, girls, you know the drill. Get with your partners.” She ordered. They have picked partners before they left. So, Pinkie went to Rainbow, Applejack went to Rarity, and Fluttershy flew over to Twilight and Spike. “OK, remember where to go?” she asked. There was a moment of confused silence.

“You haven’t even told us where to go.” Rainbow remarked. “Oh…right. Twilight said, embarrassed. She then shook her head, and got back to focus. “Rainbow and Pinkie, You go east. Applejack and Rarity, you go west. Me, Fluttershy, and Spike will go North. Everypony got that?” Everyone nodded. “OK, now…separate!” The two pairs and trio went to their separate ways, to find out what was going on in this hotel.

Then, there Gregory, was at the receptionist table, chuckling to himself. “They have no idea what they are in for.” He said to himself. And they really had no idea what danger they were in for…

Author's Note

See? Told ya it was short. Don't worry, the next one will be longer. Pinkie Promise.

Fine. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye! :3

Chapter 5: The Game

Rarity 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…”

Chapter 6: The Bowl Of Soup

Pinkie is alone at a diner. She sighs, while looking out the window into the stars. Then, a white pegasus, known as Hell’s Chef, walked up to Pinkie.

“Would you like anything?” he asked her.

“I don’t care…” she spoke, not even looking at him. “Your choice of food…”

“Very well…” he then walked back out to the kitchen.

“I miss you…Mom…Dad…” Pinkie cried out, softly. Then, she started to…sing?

“Oh, how painful are these thoughts…That have clouded my mind…Out of all the things that I could lose….I would rather go blind…Why does it have to be this way? Why can’t my pain be settled at bay? Should I…be redefined?”

She then looked at her hooves.

“Because all this torment, And all this pain…Will not go away, It’ll only gain…I can’t live knowing your gone…And no matter how I try, I can’t be glad. For the life that I have, It only makes me sad. Why can’t I see you for so long? Because I wish that you weren’t gone…”

Then, tears started to fall from her eyes. Hell’s Chef walked out from the kitchen, holding a bowl.

“Here’s your soup.” He told her.

“Thanks…” Pinkie said. She then tasted the odd fluid.

“How is it?” Hell’s Chef asked her.

“It’s bland…” she replied, still in that same, depressed tone. “All the food I taste is bland without my parents…”

“Is that so?” he asked her. Then, he raised a gigantic knife, almost the size of a book. “I can help you see them again…” he told her, in an angry tone.

“Oh really?” she spat, in a distrusting tone. “How?” She turned around. “What?!” she then screamed. Then, Hell’s Chef struck the knife into her head.

“All foods bland…” He muttered, walking back into the kitchen. “Likely story…”

Author's Note

What a depressing song. D:
Anyways, the next chapter...Nah, I won't spoil it. I want you to be suprised.
Well, that chapter is written by ZombieDash, so there's that! I thank her for helping me with this! I couldn't do it on my own! :)

Chapter 7: The Judgement Day

“Pinkie!” Rainbow shouted. She was looking for her friend that had ran off crying, for some reason. She then groaned. “Where is she...” She sighs. “Oh well. She won't be getting into any troub—“ Her thoughts were interrupted when she bumped into an orange stallion.

He had on a shirt that said “Judgement Day”, a wizards cap (which she thought was laaaame.) and…two bracelets. One had a money symbol on it, and the other, a heart symbol.“Oh! Sorry, I didn't see you there...” She said in embaressment.

“I am Judgement Colt.” He spoke. “It’s your Judgement day, Rainbow Dash!”

“Wait, how do you…never mind. Go on?” Rainbow was wondering how did he know her name, but she just slid that to the side.

“You're a young pegasus foal, in flight school.” Judgement Colt began. “You're in a race with your best friend. You're oh-so close to the finish line, and if you finish that race, you get a year's supply of food for your poor family. But! As you cross the finish line, your friend slips off a cloud and falls. What will you do?”

This really tested her loyalty. Rainbow stared at the unicorn, then sat down, and thought. “I'd save my friend.” She concluded.

Judgement Colt then smirked an devilish grin. “Oh really, Is that so?” he asked. “Well, here's a little ‘lesson about friendship’ for you, dear Rainbow Dash!” He then stood on his hind legs, and levitated the two bracelets in the air, swinging them back and forth with his magic. “If you try to weigh your money against your love, there's no doubt your heart will start to sway. If you try to weigh your love against your money, your heart will start to break!” He then started spinning them around almost as fast as Rainbow can do the Sonic Rainboom. “ Judgment—“ He then stomped all four hooves down, and raised his right hoof in the air. “NOW!” The money bracelet went on his hoof, but the heart bracelet flung down, and shattered.

“You swoop to the ground and save your friend!” He shouted with a slight devilish joy. “But too bad for you, you never won the race, and your family dies of starvation because of your greed. If your friend fell, it would have been quick, and almost painless. But your entire family is dead, now.”

He then leaned closer.

“And it's all.
Your.
Fault.”

“...Buck you.” Rainbow spat, in disgust.

Judgement Colt laughed. “Oh, my dear, I'm amused by your defiance.” He complimented. “The truth hurts, doesn't it?”

“Why you…” Rainbow Dash growled, then charged up to him, she was clearly going to hurt him.

“Now, now. It's only fair.” Judgement Colt said calmly. “You played the game...”

His horn lit up, and Rainbow’s neck snapped. Rainbow fell straight to the ground, clearly not breathing.

“And you lost…” Judgement Colt finished. “It was your choice, Rainbow. You get to live with it. Or, you did live with it, at least.” He then turned around, and started trotting down the hallway. He then started chanting something. “Do you know? Who I am? They call me Judgement Colt..."

Hoped you liked this one! I greatly thank ZombieDash for writing this chapter. The next one will really give a plot twist.

Chapter 9: The Outcome

“Come on, crusaders!” Apple Bloom told her friends, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, and cousin, Babs Seed. “Pick up the pace, we're almost there!”

“Where are we going anyway?” Sweetie Belle asked, her eyebrow raising and her head tilted.

“Somepony said this was a spooky hotel!” Apple Bloom started. “An' everypony who comes in…”

“Nevah. Comes. Out.” Babs finished for her cousin.

Apple Bloom glared at Babs. “Cuz', don't cut me off like that!” she whined. Babs just smirked.

They arrive at the hotel, but Scootaloo seems a bit scared. “Just a hunch, but I think we should turn back.” Scootaloo said, nervously. “I...uh...I think that's my ride over there!” She points towards Ponyville and is about to run off before Sweetie catches her.

“I can't believe after all these years, you're still a chicken.” Sweetie Belle facehoofed.

“I'm no chicken!” Scootaloo groaned. “Then knock on the door!” Sweetie ordered.

“I...but...I...Fine.” She sighs, and is about to knock, when somepony tapped on her shoulder. They all turned around to see that it was Twilight, who was wearing a uniform, and had bags under her eyes with a very messy mane.

“Is that…” Apple Bloom stuttered.

“Yes, Apple Bloom.” Twilight replied. “It’s me, Twilight. Welcome to the Gregory House!”

"W...What happened to your friends?" Apple Bloom stuttered.

"Well, let me explain..."

Pinkie is at a table, sitting patiently. She still has that same knife on her head, but doesn’t seem to be bothered by this.

“Ah, Pinkie.” Hell’s Chef walked up to her. “Nice to see you. I suppose you would want…”

“The pork? Yes, please.” Pinkie read his thoughts, like always.

“Coming right up.” He spoke, walking back to the kitchen.

“Welcome to Hell’s Roulette!” Rarity shouted. Her mane was as stylish as ever, but with more curls. Her body was full of soot, and she has a stitch around her horn. “Applejack, here will be counting how many spaces you have left!”

She points to Applejack, who was at a board with two lines, both have the number 40 at the end. She also had soot all over her, and had a few scars. She had no ponytail in her mane. “So what are ya waitin for?” she asked a fellow filly. “Go ahead and-“

“Spin me!” Roulette Colt finished.

“Hey Fluttershy!” Spike called. He still had that same knife around his stomach, but wasn’t bothered by it. “Time for your supper!”

Fluttershy’s mane was somewhat frizzy, and her vocal chords were ripped out, so she wouldn’t tell anypony the secret. She scribbles on a dry erase board. “Alright. What is for supper?” It said.

“Pork.” Spike answered.

Fluttershy wrote again. “Sounds delicious.”

"Oh, it is. And I’m starving.” Spike rubbed his claw around the knife on his stomach.

Rainbow Dash was trotting with Judgement Colt. She has become his sidekick ever since the incident. Her neck was misplaced a little, and had a scar around it. She was holding the heart bracelet in her right hoof, and was wearing the same shirt as Judgement Colt, but with rainbow stripes on it. They were both chanting something.

“Do you know, who I am? They call me Judgement Colt.”

“Do you know, who I am? They call me Judgement Mare.”

“So, what are ya doin here? Babs Seed asked Twilight.

“I’m just an assistant.” She answered the brown filly. “Now…Would you all like a room?” She smiled.

“Sure! C’mon, girls!” Sweetie answered, running inside.

“We’re coming, we’re coming.” Scootaloo spoke, hurrying after the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

“They’ll find out the wonders of this hotel sooner or later.” Twilight muttered to herself, while smiling. “I know they will.”

Well, it's been a fun ride, hasn't it? I enjoyed writing this with ZombieDash! Thanks for reading, and have a nice day! :)

Chapter 1: The Letter

It was a beautiful day outside. The sun was shining, few clouds, and a gentle spring breeze rushed over Ponyville. Twilight was reading inside her home, peacefully.

“Twilight!” Spike shouted, running from upstairs. Twilight got up from where she was lying.

“Yes, what is it Spike?” She questioned.

“There is a letter from Celestia!” he answered, showing the letter in his claw.

“A letter?” Twilight was puzzled. She hasn’t sent her anything yet! She opened the scroll that was given to her. She was surprised to see what was on the letter. She took a few steps back from shock.

“What is it Twilight?” Spike asked, wondering what was in that letter.

“Spike, I have to go.” Twilight replied in a stern, yet worried tone a few seconds later. “And you need to come with me. Celestia says here that there are ponies disappearing without a trace, and it’s coming from the Everfree Forest. She wants you, me and the girls to investigate.”

“O…Ok.” Spike stuttered, then rose with a confident look. “Spike is on the case!”

“Then let’s go.”

Spike hopped onto Twilight, and she galloped to each of her friends places, starting with Pinkie.“Ooooh! An investigation! Sound like fun!”

Then Rainbow’s. “Investigation? Sure, why not? I have nothing else to do.”

Then Applejack’s. “Ah sure reckon this is mighty dangerous. But, ah can come. Don’t want anypony gettin hurt.”

Then Fluttershy’s. “The Everfree Forest?! Oh dear, that’s scary… But…” She sighs. “I suppose I have no choice, if it’s the Princess’ orders…”

And finally, Rarity’s. "Oh my. Well, we can’t simply let Ponyville be in danger, now can we dear?”

After Twilight gathered all of the Mane 6, they all walked together to the entrance of The Everfree Forest. “Is everypony ready?” Twilight asked, while facing the ponies, and dragon, behind her.

“Yup!” They all nodded.

Twilight faced the Everfree. “Then let’s go.”

Chapter 4: The Dreaded Memory

Rainbow and Pinkie are walking down the hallway they took east. Well, actually, Pinkie is bouncing in the hallway they took east. “Uh, Pinkie?” Rainbow said, getting Pinkie’s attention.

“Yes?” She asked back at Rainbow.

“You might want to stop bouncing. You might get hurt.” Rainbow answered, with concern.

“Oh, right. Fragile floors.” Pinkie realized. She then stopped bouncing on the floors. “Sorry.” She apologized.

“It’s OK, Pinkie.” Rainbow said with forgiveness. They continued walking down the hallway, until a fish with a TV for a head swam by.

“Ooooh! A fish!” Pinkie squealed. “But wait. It’s not underwater, yet it can swim!” She gasps in excitement. “I gotta find out how it does that!” She then starts running towards the fish.

“Pinkie, wait!” Rainbow shouted, flying towards her.

“Hi!” Pinkie said to the fish. The TV on the fish’s head starting changing channels.

“Pinkie, don’t run off like that!” Rainbow exclaimed at her, panting.

“Hush, Dashie. He’s trying to say something.” Pinkie told her.

“OK?” Rainbow answered in confusion. She guesses it’s Pinkie being Pinkie again.

The channel was selected for Pinkie to watch. “No…” Pinkie said, quietly.

The 3 Pies are on a picnic at a cliff. Pastry Dough, the father, is munching on a sandwich, and his wife, Vanilla Icing, was doing the same.

“You guys are the best parents ever!” a Filly Pinkie Pie said cheerfully, with a smile on her face.

“You’re the best daughter me and your mom could have!” Pastry Dough answered back, with part of a sandwich in his mouth.

Vanilla Icing then chuckles. “We love you Pinkie.” She said with warmth in her voice.

“I love you too!” Filly Pinkie shouted with glee. Then, a shot like a cannonball was heard, and it crashes into the cliff. The pink filly was startled by this. Then, the cliff between the parents and the filly started to crack. Then, the cliff broke, and the parents started to fall. The parents screamed, until they were plunged into the river. They never rose back up. “Mommy?! Daddy?!” Pinkie looked down below in terror. “NO! MOMMY! DADDY!” She shouted. She then crashed into her knees, and started to cry.

Pinkie Pie in the present day was crying. Her hair was deflated as well.

“Pinkie?” Rainbow asked. “Are you alri-“

“SHUT UP RAINBOW!” Pinkie shouted, with tears streaming down her face. “I don’t feel like talking to anypony! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!” She then starts running so fast, Rainbow couldn’t find her.

“Pinkie, wait! Come back!” Rainbow shouted. But she was alone. “Celestia Dang it!” Rainbow cursed, then kicked the ground with her hoof. She then started flying west to find her. They were separated...

...

...and that was just the beginning.

So sad! DX

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this one! And trust me, the next chapter? That will leave you dizzy. XD

Chapter 8: The Decision

Chapter 8: The Decision

Twilight, Fluttershy, and Spike walked down the hallway, with irises that were smaller than usual. “OK, we’ve met nice guests…” Twilight began.

“Some creepy ones…” Fluttershy continued.

“And a filly that was a scary doll…” Spike finished.

“What’s next?” Twilight asked in stress. “We go back to where we started?” Once they stopped walking, they were back at the receptionist desk. “Why did I say that?” Twilight complained to herself.

“Ah, so you made it out of there!” Gregory said with a surprised, yet happy tone.

“W…What do you mean?” Fluttershy asked, nervously.

“Well, your friends…” Gregory began. “…They’re all dead.”

“WHAT?!” The trio shouted in unison. Twilight turned to face Fluttershy and Spike.

“We have to get out of here!” she muttered. They started running towards the doors. But then, before they could escape, Gregory blocks the doors.

“Oh, I’m afraid you seen too much.” He stated. Then, he grabbed a knife, and threw it at Twilight.

“Noooooo!” shouted Spike, as he jumped up to block the knife from hitting Twilight. The knife went straight through his stomach, and he stopped breathing.

“Spike?!” Fluttershy shouted, with tears in her eyes.

“No…” Twilight started tearing up at the sight.

“No. NO. NONONONONO!”

Twilight faced Gregory, with tears streaming down her eyes, as her irises went tiny. She stamped her hoof down. “What do you want from us, you mindless freak?!” She shouted. “You killed our friends already, so what more do you want?!”

“Well, that’s not the way to treat ponies is it?” Gregory quoted Applejack. Twilight calmed down a bit, but she was still very angry. “Tell you what." Gregory spoke, about to strike a deal. "I can bring all of your friends back to life. But on one condition.”

“That is?” Fluttershy asked, her tears drying up.

“You stay here for the rest of your lives.” Gregory replied, then had a slight chuckle.

“What are you going to do?” Fluttershy turned to Twilight.

Twilight was panicking slightly, mostly because she is becoming slightly insane, but she is thinking what will happen with each outcome.

“Don’t worry, Princess.” Gregory reassured her in a sinister tone. “We have all night.”

Twilight then sighed, in defeat. “Gregory…”

“Yes?” Gregory asked.

“Could you book a room for 7?” Twilight asked.

“Of course, Twilight.” Gregory answered with a smirk. “I hope you enjoy your stay…”

Fluttershy put a hoof around the purple princess.

“Did I make the right choice?” Twilight asked Fluttershy.

Fluttershy nodded. “I believe you did.”

Author's Note

It's not the end yet, but it will be in the next chapter. Where are the crusaders, you ask? They are in the next chapter, of course!
