“Well. Now I understand why she was running for her life,” Twilight said.

“So do I. We might want to get her out of there,” the Doctor said.

The fillies were still chanting.

“Little filly,” the Doctor whispered.

The filly looked over at them.

“One,” he whispered.

The filly got up.

“Two,”

The filly got ready to run.

“Three,”

The three ran.

“Hey. Did we order our target to go?,” the black filly said.

“No. Why?,”

“Because there she goes!,”

The other filly looked over to see the three running away.

“Hey! Come back here!,” the black filly said before running after them.

They ran off getting out of their sight. When the fillies passed ran by they came out from behind the crates that were hiding them. The filly sighed.

“Thank you,” she said.

“Your welcome. Sorry what was your name?,” the Doctor asked.

“My name is Acid Fall,” she replied.

“Hello Acid Fall. That’s a rather vile name. I don’t like it. Did you ever consider the name Georgia?,”

“Wha-Huh? What kind of name is Georgia? I mean no offensive if that’s either of your names but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of some pony named Georgia,” Acid Fall said.

“Oh right sorry. I am the Doctor and this is my companion Twilight Sparkle,”

“Oh nice to meet you,” Acid Fall said.

She tilted her head and looked at their cutie marks.

“Oh. They were chasing you too, huh?,” Acid Fall said.

“What?,” Both Twilight and the Doctor said.

Acid looked surprised.

“Oh! Well I just saw your cutie marks. I figured you were being chased and bullied like I was,” Acid said.

“We were chased. That’s why those two fillies were chasing you?,” Twilight asked.

“Yes. Ponies here have a very picky opinion on cutie marks. They don’t like mine because it has nothing to do with the Canterlot fashion,”

“Well. That’s going to make it hard to find out what’s going on here,” the Doctor said to Twilight.

“You’re welcome to stay at the homing building I live in, if need be. It’s just Speedster, Spell and I on one of the floors. We have plenty of extra room,” Acid said.

“Oh well thank you,” the Doctor said.

“Oh, it’s no trouble at all. I was going there anyway. Follow me,” Acid said as she began to walk home.

The Doctor and Twilight followed her. As they walked something rustled in the bushes. It’s shadow crawled up the brick wall. It had yellow, angry eyes.

They reached in homing building, the two fillies had called an orphanage. It was more of a hotel, only ponies that were given up could also live here.

“And this is where I live,” Acid said.

“Will the owner let us stay here? Just until we figure everything out?,” the Doctor asked.

“You can ask her when we go in,” Acid said.

She opened the door. It wasn’t a very crowded homing building. Two fillies walked over to them once they saw Acid. One was a cream colored unicorn with a light blue mane with a curl at the ends, light blue eyes, and a horn with a drop of magic for a cutie mark. And an orange earth pony with a green straight mane, green eyes and a wheel getting ready to go very fast, making a cloud of dirt for a cutie mark.

“Hey Acid,” the earth filly said.

Her voice smooth and mature.

“We were scared you weren’t coming back after last night,” the unicorn said.

Her voice was a bit scratchy.

“Don’t you two know me by know? They tried to get rid of me as a baby and they couldn’t do it. And I’ve recently suffered through passing out of the physical pain they’ve put me through,” Acid said.

“She does have a point,” the earth pony said.

The three fillies looked at the Doctor and Twilight who were watching them.

“Oh, well. I suppose I should introduce you. Spells, Speedster, this is the Doctor and Twilight. Doctor, Twilight, these are my best friends, Spelldrop, and Speedster Wheels,” Acid introduced.

“A pleasure,” the Doctor said.

“Nice to meet you,” Twilight added.

“Nice to meet you too,” Spells said.

“They want to  stay here?,” Speedster asked Acid.

“Yes,” Acid said.

“Well their going to have to talk to the owner Acid,” Speedster said nervous.

“Don’t be nervous, it’s not like she charges ponies to stay here anyway,”

“Still Acid, what if her super attendant starts giving you a hard time or something?,”

“What, Ice Heart? No. She might be Cold Stone's boss”

They looked over to Cold Stone's office.

"But we hardly ever see her anyway,” Acid said.

Acid knocked on the door. The owner came out, and looked down at Acid Fall.

“Oh, Acid Fall. You’re back. Was there something you needed?,” she asked, in a sweet, gentle voice.

“Yes Miss. Stonesole. I met two ponies and they want to stay here,” Acid said.

She pointed to the Doctor and Twilight.

Stonesole looked at them.

“Well. Alright then. They can stay next door to you girls. Be careful today. I know you’ll most likely be okay, but some ponies had mentioned that shadowy figure that causes a lot of destruction in this town. The fillies cringed.

“You mean that poltergeist-like one?,” Spells said, nervously.

Stonesole gulped and nodded.

“Mm- hm,”  she said.

"He can't be a poltergeist, he's not dead," Acid pointed out.

A white pegasus teenage colt jumped out.

“And I heard he has a friend named Slenderpony,” the colt said in a deep voice.

“Wait. What? Really?,” the doctor said, annoyed.

“Who?,” the three fillies said in unison.

“Oh, you little fillies don’t know about his friend do you?,” the colt said.

“Stormy quit it,” Stonesole said.

“He’s a good friend of HIS. He helps hold down HIS prey while he disposes of it. And sometimes he even helps dispose of it. He wears a suite, has no face, and has black, slimy tenticals. He was known for taking and kidnapping little foals,”

The fillies were shaking.

“And their never heard from, ever again,”

Both Spells and Acid were hugging Speedster, with their ears back, shaking.

“N-Never,” Spells studded.

Stormy shook his head.

“Never. And next, he’s coming. After. YOU!,” stormy said, saying the you very loudly and suddenly.

“He’s right behind you!,” he exclaimed.

The three fillies screamed.

Speedster ran, she could run very fast, leaving a cloud of dust behind her. Next Spells ran and then Acid. All three girls running away screaming. They ran up the spiral stairs of the tall building. Stonesole ran to the front, where you could see the whole way up.

“Girls!,” she called out, trying to get them to calm down.

But they didn’t hear her, they just ran, into their large apartment-like rooms. Acid and Speedster opened the door with their hooves, while Spells opened her’s with her magic, only the top section of her horn was glowing with magic. They slammed the doors behind them. Stonesole glared at Stormy, who was laughing hysterically.

“Great job, Stormy. Now those girls are going to have nightmares all night,” Stonesole said dryly.

“Oh, come one Stonesole, I was just joking with them. I know there’s no such thing Slenderpony. It’s just an old pony’s tale,” Stormy said.

“Well, no you’re going to escort these ponies up to their room, take care of all the paperwork, give them their keys. And then you’re going to go into the girls’ rooms and tell them that there is no Slenderpony, it can’t hurt them, it never existed and you were just joking. Got it,” Stonesole said.

“Got it,” Stormy said, pouting.

He looked over at the Doctor and Twilight.

“Follow me,” he said and went up the stairs.

“I’d say he deserves that much,” Twilight whispered to the Doctor.

“I agree,” the Doctor said.
