Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle dashed out of the Carousel Boutique. Their hooves making marks in the lush dirt, making sounds of clop. Apple Bloom tugged Sweetie Belle's mane. "Come on Sweetie Belle, we need to get Scootaloo! She doesn't sleep forever!" Apple Bloom shouted while she bit Sweetie Belle's mane. Their running began to pick up pace, making louder sounds. They dashed in front of Town Hall. "Sweetie Belle, you know you can't-" Just before Apple Bloom was about to finish her criticism, they tumbled into Spike. "Whoa! What are you girls doing out in the middle of the night?" Spike asked them while they got up.
"There's a ghost in my closet! So I'm gathering up the CMC!" Apple Bloom replied. "This looks like a job for...... SUPER SPIKE!" Spike exclaimed as he made a superhero motion. "Oh bother," Sweetie Belle whispered to Apple Bloom, rolling her eyes. "So can I join or what?" Spike asked, excitedly. "Yes!!" Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle sighed in union. Sweetie Belle walked in front of the group. "Now let's look for Scootaloo,"- she lit up her horn-"my magic can work as a light."
"Great idea!" Apple Bloom praised. As Sweetie Belle's horn lit up a faint light, she navigated the group to a tree. "There!-" she pointed her hoof towards the top of the tree "-there's Scootaloo!"
Scootaloo was trembling in fear, soft winds blowing patches of leaves near her, as she stared blankly into the star-filled sky. "Scootaloo!" Apple Bloom shouted, waving her hoof back and forth, trying to catch Scootaloo's attention. "Huh? What?" Scootaloo said quickly, jolting her head to stare directly at the group. "Whoa, do you have like, a bad case of insomnia?" Spike questioned, slightly loud. "Insomnia??! Ha ha ha! You're so funny." Scootaloo replied quickly, her pupils slightly smaller, gritting her teeth. Scootaloo then started breathing heavily, slowly, and quietly. When she inhaled air, she pushed her hoof against her chest. When she exhaled, she slowly moved her hoof in front of her, in a repeating pattern.
"So, what's up?" Scootaloo said slowly, slightly sleepy. "Well Apple Bloom said she had a ghost in her closet," Sweetie Belle explained, "And I decided to gather up the CMC and Spike," Apple Bloom continued, "Then to make sure our group is complete, we decided to tag you along in our investigation!" ended Spike. "Investigation?!" Scootaloo said in a happy tone, as she suddenly got a sugar buzz. She flapped her wings barely lifting herself off the branch and on to the ground, making a thump, noise. "You can count me in!" Scootaloo shouted, not so loudly, standing tall with her chest puffed out.
"Great, so now we're all here!" Apple Bloom cheered, "Now to the ghosts!"
The CMC and Spike zoomed to the farm. Scootaloo began rapidly picking up the pace, dashing headfirst into the air in front of her. "Scootaloo, this isn't a race!" Sweetie Belle reminded Scootaloo, as her horn's light began to die out. Apple Bloom looked at Sweetie Belle's horn, the magic aura began to disappear. "I can't keep it up much longer!" Sweetie Belle's horn aura disappeared. She panted.
"Come on, Sweetie Belle, at least we made it to the farm in time!" Apple Bloom smiled, trying to cheer her up. "Yeah, it's not like you didn't faint on the way there!" Scootaloo continued. They traveled into the barn, making sure their hoofs dropped lightly on the wooden floor. Scootaloo used her wings to make her lighter, but failed, dropping on the floor immensely, making a creaaak noise. "Shoot, run!" Spike whisper-shouted, as they ran up the stairs to Apple Bloom's room.
"There it is"- Apple Bloom pointed her hoof towards the closet.-"my haunted closet." They inched closer, slowly and carefully. Apple Bloom opened her closet. "HIYA!" She screamed while doing it. Nothing was in there. "Way to go, Apple Bloom!" Scootaloo yelled sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. "I shall now be the leader of the CMC!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed! "No, me!" Scootaloo shouted back.
"Me!" Sweetie Belle shouted back.
"I shall decide," Apple Bloom got in the way of the fight.
"ME!" Spike screamed!
After that, they all started fighting, shouting over who can be the leader, while they were fighting, they failed to notice that suddenly, a black ring of darkness appeared in the closet, sucking the CMC (and Spike) inside. "Oh no!!!!!!!" They all shouted. As soon as they were in the portal, it vanished.
They woke up, toppled on one another. They were in a big field of purple daisies, the sun resting it's rays along the racing winds. But something didn't seem right, the sky was had 7 inverted rainbows, all falling down. "Apple Bloom, how many times did you clean your clothes?" Sweetie Belle asked with her eyelids half shut, with a smirk on her face. "Um, you were supposed to clean them?" Apple Bloom replied, embarrased. "Of course you're supposed to clean them! If you didn't, you'd have mud on them," Scootaloo chuckled. "That's not the point!" Sweetie Belle shouted, seriously.
Apple Bloom was soundly asleep. A cool, light breeze blew into her room. She shivered under her blankets, the wooden floor creaking. Her closet doors opened, and closed, in a repeating pattern. "Urgh," Apple Bloom grunted. "Be quiet Applejack, there's a pony sleeping in here!" The closet doors kept opening and closing in the pattern.
"That's it-" Apple Bloom got out of her bed with a mad look on her face. "-I told you to be quiet!" Apple Bloom's eyes opened widely when she saw that Applejack wasn't in her room. "Sweet Celestia, Rainbow Dash robbed us-" Apple Bloom stopped. "-Oh wait if she was in here then I would hear her wings. Like she flaps her wings harder than an EAGLE, how could she be accepted in the WonderBolts..." Apple Bloom suddenly squeaked in fright, she jumped out her window, her body dropping outside of the barn. Apple Bloom ran quietly through the open fields, until she got to Ponyville. It was dark, all house lights off, although some were still on.
Apple Bloom ran to the Carousel Boutique, the wind blowing harshly on her face. Apple Bloom finally was at the door of the Boutique. She quietly got some baskets and climbed to the top of the Carousel Boutique. Apple Bloom quietly jumped in, making sure her landing was soundless. Sweetie Belle was quietly asleep, curled up in her blankets. "Psst, Sweetie Belle!" Apple Bloom whispered to Sweetie Belle. "Wake up, Sweetie Belle."
"H-huh...? Apple Bloom, is that you?" Sweetie Belle questioned.
"Yeah, it's me." Apple Bloom answered.
"Then go back to the barn!"
"I can't!" Apple Bloom stomped on the ground. "There's a ghost in my house!"
"Then call the ponies from the TV show!"
"What TV show?"
"I don't know."
"Just come with me!" Apple Bloom dragged Sweetie Belle out of her bed. "We got some investigating to, we need to gather the CMC."
"No," Sweetie Belle said in a whiny manner, "I want to stay here and sleep!"
"You can't!" Apple Bloom tugged Sweetie Belle's tail, trying to get her to leave the bed, "There's really a ghost in my closet."
Sweetie Belle sighed she got out of bed, and explored her closet. "Well there's no ghost in my closet, so there's a 98% chance there's no ghost in your's either!"
"But what if there is." Apple Bloom said, disagreeing.
"Then, you have bad luck!" Sweetie Belle jumped on her bed, smashing her face into the pillow. Apple Bloom tugged her hoof. "Just come with me!"
"Ugh, fine," Sweetie Belle finally agreed. "But if this a waste of my time, I'll be the leader of the CMC for the next couple of months!"
"How about days?" Apple Bloom persuaded.
"Months!" Sweetie Belle shouted.
"Days!" Apple Bloom shouted back.
"Months!" Sweetie Belle shouted.
"Days!" Apple Bloom shouted back again.
"Months!" Sweetie Belle shouted back again.
"Months!" Apple Bloom shouted back, tricking her.
"Days!" Sweetie Belle shouted back, tricked.
"Months!" Apple Bloom shouted back, this time in a quieter way.
"Days!" Sweetie Belle shouted back.
"Days it is then, now let's leave!" Apple Bloom said jumping out the window.
"Okay... Hey wait a minute!" Sweetie Belle replied, jumping out the window.
