There's Something In My Closet

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!"
