In the Everfree Forest, near the castle of the royal pony sisters, an abandoned mansion sits still on dark, moonlit nights, and one night, a mystery begins.

Everypony was invited to a party in a mansion on a full moon one night, Luna's stars gleamed in the night sky. The lights in the mansion were as bright as Celestia's sun. Until, the sound of a loud crash was heard from the other side of the mansion and the lights went out. When they came back on, the ponies were shocked at the sight that they found on the staircase leading to the upper floor.

How could somepony be killed in a mere minute? How could the victim suffer from multiple stab wounds without making a sound? How could the pony be found on the staircase when everypony was dining in the dining room around the huge dining table? The answers may become clearer when a ghost comes out of nowhere and claims to have seen the killer in action and says the killer was one of the party guests that night.

But the ghost had other bad news for the party guests.....

Prologue

In the shadows of the night of the mysterious Everfree Forest. Below the glow of Luna's sphere in the sky, and the twinkling stars within the vast universe. Below the storm clouds that lazily floated, and struck lighting now and then once in a while. Creatures of the Everfree wiggled and walked like what creatures were meant to do, and within these creatures of the night, two ponies walked around a campfire they had made with wood and sparks from strange looking rocks.

"Ughhhh......" One of the the ponies moaned. "How long have we been out here? What if that crazy rhyming Zebra didn't actually see what she claimed to see? What if that mansion doesn't even exist, like...she made it up or something?"

The other pony just replied with a annoyed look. "We've been out here for only a couple of days Fry, now can you stop your whining?" Fry, which appeared to be a unicorn with a purple vest on after taking his cloak off, had gritted his teeth and picked up a stick.

Pointing the stick at his companion, Fry shouted into the night. "We have no more food!!!! DO SEE ANY FOOD OUT HERE MAC???!!!!!!!!" Fry was literally about to tear Big Mac"s face off when, all of a sudden, the sound of a rustling noise, like if something was moving in the brush, was heard behind some bushes. Fry and Mac froze.

The rustling noise continued in the nearby bushes, shivering like if he was outside on a cold day, Fry was scared to death. But soon his horn was glowing turquoise, and soon the bushes were as well. Drops of sweet dripped down Fry's face as he pulled the bushes out of the ground. Sickening cracks like if a neck was breaking were heard around the campfire. Shocked looks had covered the ponies' faces. Beyond the bushes was an old building. A very old building. Fry and Mac both passed shocked looks to each other, then looked back at the building.

"Is that? The building we've been searching for for days?" Fry asked his partner. Mac nodded with still a shocked look on his face. What was inside the mansion though?

Fry and Mac looked at the old building that towered over the Everfree. Both were very excited and couldn't wait to report their discovery, but to each others' amazement, the building had lights on. A shocking discovery like that could make the duo's story fake, if they could somehow bring the light with them.

Just then the front door swung open. Fry and Mac both scared out of their wits. A cloaked pony came out the door. In what appeared to be magical aura, there was the light that Fry and Mac were about to try to get. Facing the duo, the cloaked pony walked towards Fry and Mac, who were sweating like if they were in a hot sunny day. The cloaked pony moved closer, and closer.

"W....who.....who are you?" Fry asked, he was scared for his life, if this pony kills them, nopony back in Ponyville would know where he and Mac were.

The cloaked pony then took a hoof over it's covered head, was it going to reveal itself? Just when Fry and Mac were about to run away, the cloak came flying off the pony, what was revealed was a ocean blue unicorn with a white mane and tail, he appeared to be the owner of the mansion due to a house key in his magic as well with the light.

"Hello there, my name is Blue Lu." The unicorn said. The light he carried was for some reason heading towards Fry and Mac, but before Fry or Mac could ask why the blue unicorn continued.

"Go, send the word about this mansion, and tell the ponies in Ponyville, including your crazy friends that I'll be holding a party here, and they're all invited." The light that Blue Lu was holding with his magic was now in front of Mac and Fry, Blue Lu nods and his magic dies around the light. Fry catches the light with his magic, just barely, and Blue Lu then starts talking again.

"Take this light, called a light bulb, into Ponyville with you, this will be proof of your discovery of my house, and trust me, I will assure you that plenty of lights will be on during the party." Fry and Mac nod to the stranger called Blue Lu, Fry still holding the light bulb the unicorn mentioned. Blue Lu then points towards the exit to the Everfree, which was very far away from where the mansion stood. "Go, and I hope to see at least one of you soon."

Fry and Mac start running from the place, towards the exit of the Everfree, Blue Lu watches from his yard, and putting the cloak back on, he walks back into his mansion.

Fry and Mac ran towards Town Square. The sun was rising from the east around the time Fry and Mac ran out of the forest. Ponies were bustling down the streets, and market stands were springing up for selling. The Apple family were famous for their apple recipes and mainly, being the apple farmers of Ponyville.

With Big Mac in the Everfree with Fry on their quest to find the mansion, things were different, until one morning, both Fry and Big Mac ran into town, shouting. "WE FOUND IT!!! WE FOUND IT!!!" Ponies all over Ponyville heard the shouts and followed the two ponies who just came out of the Everfree.

"...In a few nights, the party would be held. That's what he said." Fry and Big Mac had told the ponies of Ponyville about the pony who lived in the mansion, showed them the light bulb, and explained about his invitation to a party at his place. Everypony was excited, many wanted to go, I mean, it's just a mansion, what could go wrong?
