My Little Corpse Party

"And that should do it!" Twilight exclaimed, putting away the last chair in the schools gymnasium.

"Finally. That was a lot of work to clean up" Rainbow Dash sighed.

"Oh it wasn't that bad ..." Fluttershy muttered.

"Whatever. I'm tired. Let's tell ghost stories!" Rainbow exclaimed excitedly, a smirk growing on her face.

"Yeah! That would be great!" Scootaloo chimed in.

Equestrian Middle School just hosted a dance party to celebrate halloween, and Twilight and her friends, and their little sisters stayed behind to clean up the gymnasium.

"Ugh Scootaloo, yer always actin so brave an' everything but in reality, yer a chicken" Applebloom cried out, her eyes narrowing down.

"Yeah!" Sweetiebelle agreed hastily.

"Oh but girls! Spooky stories are great! Especially now! Its dark out, its us girlies, OOH I'LL GET THE POPCORN!" Pinkie dashed around excitedly, and disappeared shortly, soon returning with a bag of popcorn in her hooves.

"Ah still dunno how ye do that, sugar. But anyway, a scary story sounds great" Applejack put in her agreement.

"Eeyup" Big Macintosh nodded.

Rainbow Dash set up a candle, and lit it with a nearby match. Everypony huddled around the dreary flame.

"Rumor has it, many years ago, that before Equestrian Middle School was built here, there was a school called Celestial Eclipse Elementary school. And in that story, after that school was torn down, this school came to be. So basically, where Equestria Middle School is standing, there was Celestial Eclipse Elementary." Rainbow Dash began quietly. She looked around at her audience. She had each pony captivated in her story.

"Keep going darling" Rarity pressed.

"Anyway, so why was this school torn down? We will never know what happened during then ... But it all started when a nurse fell to her death down a flight of stairs. And this nurse, happened to be the wife of the principal. The principal was devastated. But it didn't end there. Students began to disappear one by one ... Police officers came by frequently to patrol the school. Nothing was found. HOWEVER, several months later, the bodies of the foals were found. They were mutilated, bloodied corpses. The school was shut down that day. What happened to the principal? Well, what I heard is that he climbed to the roof and jumped to his death. Celestial Eclipse was then closed down, and destroyed.  But the scary part is, even though Celestial Eclipse is no longer around, the nurse silently and sadly roams the school, shortly after seven when everyone has gone home, not even realizing she's dead"

Rainbow Dash paused for a moment. Not a pony said a word.

"That's truly awful .." Twilight whispered.

Scootaloo seemed to be frozen in place.

"Uhh ... Scootaloo?" Rarity nudged the frozen pegasi. Scootaloo didn't move.

Rainbow glanced at the orange filly.

"Hey Scoots"

She didn't respond. Her eyes widened for a moment, before she opened her mouth,

"That's a huge load of chicken shit right there" She said simply, before closing her eyes ignorantly.

"Eeyup" Big Mac nodded.

That caused angry glares shooting from the cyan Pegasus.

"Hey! It'snot a load of chicken shit" Rainbow replied angrily, as she stamped a hoof into the wooden floor.

Pinkies bright blue eyes were wide.

"But hey you're a great story teller!" She giggled, with her usual sing-song voice.

"I sure hope that story isn't real ..." Fluttershy whimpered before hiding slightly behind her pastel mane.

"Don't worry Fluttershy. Even if it did, it took place in the past. That story is old" Twilight reassured her gentle and kind friend.

Just as Twilight finished her sentence, the lit match blew out, and the room was as dark as night. Several of the ponies let out cries, and Fluttershy leaped into Twilights hooves to hide.

"W-Whats going on!?" Sweetie Belle cried, her voice interrupting the cries of the other ponies.

"I don't know, come here darling!" Rarity called nervously.

"Alright Rainbow Dash, cut the crap. Re-light the candle and stop scaring us!" Twilight's voice had an edge to it, and it was laced with fury.

"It's not me!" Rainbow Dash spat.

The sound of the door opening in the darkness caused the ponies to quiet down.

"Rainbow Dash ... We need you to ..." Twilight began slowly

"That's .... Not me" Rainbow Dash said quietly.

An eerie voice rang out from behind the door.

"Whaaaat are you dooinnng, lingerring in my schoooooool ....."

Pinkie screamed.

"ITS THE GHOST NURSE! RUUUUN!" The pink mare yelled out.

"Just kidding. What are you all doing out here so late?" A familiar voice replaced the eerie one from moments ago. The lights flickered on, and Cheerilee stood giggling at the door of the gymnasium.

"Mrs. Cheerilee!?" The ten ponies said in union.

"Yup! Anyway, I thought the cleaning up was done awhile ago. It's getting late, you should start heading home soon" Cheerilee trotted to the group.

"You scared me to death!" Applebloom said irritatingly. That only caused a short chuckle from Cheerilee.

"Yes, I'm sorry about that"

"Sorry Mrs. Cheerilee. It's my fault. This is my last day in Ponyville since I'm off for Canterlot tomorrow. The Princess' invited me to stay with them in the castle, since well," Twilight blushed slightly as she unfurled her wings.

Cheerilee nodded.

"I see, and we truly will miss you!"

Everypony turned to Twilight.

"Awh, thats true. Tonight is our last night together" Applejack sighed.

"But hey! We could always take the train to visit you, or you could visit us!" Rarity added in, giving a small smile.

Twilight nodded.

"There's this charm I would like to do with all of you, to ensure that we're friends forever" Twilight stated. She reached into her saddle bag sitting in one corner, and took out several beads.

"Hold onto these beads to remind you that were friends to the end. I'm going to cast a spell onto it, and you all need to say "friends forever" eleven times.

Twilight passed out each bead to each pony, each individual giving a happy grin upon the charm.

As each bead was given, Twilight broke the silence.

"Now, we all must say "friends forever" eleven times, or else this will fail"

Twilight closed her eyes, the other ponies copying her.

Moments later, they opened their eyes.

"Did you all do it?" Nods of agreement came from the crowd.

"I'm gonna keep this FIVEVER!" Pinkie squealed happily.

Twilight was going to open her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by a sudden force that shook the school violently.

Screams of terror burst out among the ponies.

"Everyone! Get under a desk! NOW!" Cheerilee cried.

The herd didn't need to be told twice. Each mare (and the stallion) huddled under the desks. Twilight heard Fluttershy gasp suddenly, and the purple princess looked over to the butter yellow mare. Beneath her, the ground had split, and Fluttershy let out a high pitch wail as she ground beneath her gave away, and sent her plunging below.

"FLUTTERSHY!" Twilight yowled, the other ponies looked up and made out Twilight through the trembling ground.

Twilight attempted to run over to the spot where Fluttershy had fallen. The ground beneath her hooves shook, and she stumbled several times before the whole floor gave away. Each pony cried out as they fell into darkness.
