This is were you'll be working for the next week. Let's get you set up!" Said Lyra. "Thanks, its great to be here!" Said Gamble shaking her hand. After a few minutes of waiting, he got his uniform, keys and a flashlight. He also got a camera to watch the animatronics. "Now when your all set up, the old night guard will give you a call to tell you more stuff about this place that even I dont know!" She said walking out the building. After she left, Gamble when to his office and got set up when he heard the phone ring, so he picked it up and put it on speaker. "Welcome to Applejacks barn! My name is Bon Bon, and I used to be the old night guard so there is somethings you should know about Applejack and her gang," She began. Gamble decided to check the camera to see if everything was alright, and everything was fine. "Anyway, the animatronics come alive, but dont be alarmed by them. If you see one just simply close the door and keep it closed till it leaves. There is one of them you do have to watch for, and thats Applejack. She has a tendecy to come around at 3:30am, so be aware when you hear a 'YEHAW!'" She continued. Gamble checked the cameras again, and this time the stage room. Applejack, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow dash were all there. He then checked the cove, and saw everything was fine. Then he checked the balloon stand and seen Fluttershy still there. Then the last room was the party room, rarity was at her starting pose as always. "The least active one is Rarity, she just will stand at a camera and stare at you. So you won't have to worry about her. But worry about Pinkie, she will always come in the main hallway, and try to come in a lot. Then Rainbow dash, she runs often so you have to be fast with closing the door." Said Bon Bon laughing a bit. He checked the cameras again, everyone but Applejack was there, her eyes were looking at the camera near the stage. "And you only have so much power so use it wisely! And that's all so have fun and be safe! Call you tomorrow!" She finished and hung up. It was 3:58am when Gamble heard foot steps outside. He quickly closed the door and flicked the light. He saw Applejack looking at him, then she waved. Which ready scares him. "Your creepy!" He said turning the light off. Then he heard foot steps in the other hallway, he then closed that door. This time it was Pinkie Pie. She was smiling a huge smile. "Hi there! Please let me in!" She spoke still smiling. "No thanks!" Gamble said turning the light off. It was now 5:58am and he had 2 minutes left. He needed tonight to be over, these things scared him. Finally he heard the 6:00am bell and gathered his stuff into his bag, when he was met with Lyra. "So you survived?" She asked leaning on the wall. "I guess. I'll see you later then!" Gamble said leaving. Before he left, Applejack turned her head to him going out the door and her eyes glowed red. She knew tonight, was her night to kill him. Because if he survives, she knows that night 3 will be more gruesome. Night 2 "Welcome back Gamble! I hope we didn't scared you too much last night!" Said Lyra handing him a mask and a flashlight. "No, not too much. What's the Applejack mask for?" Asked Gamble observing the mask. "Oh its in case one comes through the vent, or the door way. If they do put it on." She said handing him a bunch of keys. He nodded and went to the office, it was 11:54pm, soon his shift will start and then end so he can get out of here. "Let's get this over with," He said while looking at the clock that just turned to 12:00am. He was about to check the cameras when the phone rang. "Hello again! So you came back hu? Well let me tell you some stuff before things get real! So first things first, keep an eye on Redneck cove! Rainbow dash is there so around 2:40am She'll come out and find you. Second, keep an eye on Twilight, she usually just comes in and stands there. She won't attack you, but she'll let one of the animatronics get you. Most likely Pinkie pie," Spoke Bon Bon. Gamble checked the cameras, and everything was there except Applejack. He checked everywhere until he hear noises in the vents. "Howdy there partner!" She spoke with her eyes glowing red. "Nope!" He said putting the mask on. "Oh and be careful of Applejack! Please! She get a little glitchy! So sometimes she will glitch, and shake. Something about the wiring in her or something. But the most part dont hurt her," with that the phone went dead. "Y'all ain't supposed tah be here!" Aj screamed lunging at Gamble. "AHHHH!" He screamed pushing her off. He then grabbed her head and twisted it, which made it come clean off with wires coming out. "Howd-" She said shutting down. He put it down, with the mask still on his head. "Head! This is our 1st version and we'd like her to stay nice and neat! Well that's all goodnight!" Bon Bon finished. "Oh no," said Gamble. After a few more hours it finally hit 6:00am, thought he had a run in with Pinkie and Rainbow. But with the mask, he'll be fine. "Hello- what happened to Applejack?" Asked Lyra picking up her head. "Um yeah, I kinda broke her. She tried killing me so I killed her." He said scratching the back of his head. "Oh thank you! We wanted a newer model! So now we can finally put her in Redneck cove! She will now be the take-apart-put-together theme!" Said Lyra adding screws in her head. "Your welcome?" He said awkwardly. After helping Lyra, he left and Applejack came to life. When Lyra left the repair room, Applejack opened her eyes and laughed. "Y'all cant run forever Gamble. Ah will finds yah and killz yah!" She laughed. "Alright Applejack, let's get you to Redneck cove! Now Rainbow dash will be taking your place on stage, but dont worry you have a special part to play! Now your better than ever!" Said Lyra carring Applejack to the cove. But whatever happens next will be even more gruesome. Night 3: The robots part. "Welcome back Gamble! Do you wanna see the new Applejack model?" Asked Lyra handing him everything he needs. "No, not really," He answered grabbing his stuff. "I'm sure I'll see her tonight," he mumbled walking to his office. As the clock hits 12:00am, Gamble starts checking the cameras. Not knowing the animatronics are discussing an important matter. While the Mane 5 (for now), "Look, we just can't continue without Applejack! Its not possible!" Said Twilight opening her eyes. "Yes it is! I can kill that fool in 10 seconds flat! It'll be 20% cooler than last time when I almost killed Bon Bon!" Said Rainbow dash getting off her stand. "I think we can do it!" Said Pinkie coming to the group. "See!" Said Rainbow pointing a hoof at Pinkie. Everyone looked around until they saw Fluttershy coming. "I-i d-dont k-know, Applejack usually does it for us." Said Fluttershy hinding behind Pinkie. "Ugh! Don't you get it! Applejack isn't alive anymore. She's barely a animatronic anymore! She's sitting there in Redneck cove, while I'm out here in her spot!" Said Rainbow smiling. "But darling," said a British accent walking in. "She is still one of us. We can't ignore her!" She said flipping her metal mane. "So? I wanna kill him! And I'm gunna!" Said RD. "N-no *glitch* without me!" Said a glitchy accent with loud foot steps. Everyone looked at the figure standing in this hallway. It was broken, torn, and glitching at the scenes. "W-who are you?" Asked Rarity backing away. "Oh *glitch* dont play *glitch* dumb Rarity, y'all know who ah!" Said the voice again. Still no one said anything. Then it walked to the group and everyone saw who it was. "APPLEJACK?!" Asked the group. "The *glitch* one and only!" Aj said limping. "W-what happened to you?" Asked Twilight. "Those kids! They can't stop touchin' things. No worries *glitch* ah'm fine!" She said angerly. "We were just talking about you Aj!" Said Pinkie smiling. "Wanna cupcake? Its your favorite!" She said. Applejack looked at the cupcake then at Pinkie, she gave her a cold, hard, stare. "No." She said flatly then slaps it out of her hand. "And Rainbow," Aj spoke before leaving. "Ah'm killin' that there night guard. Not. Yall." She finished then left limping down the hall. "Hmf! Grouchy much?" Asked Pinkie pie frowning. "I know. But who could blame her, look at her. She's falling apart!" Said Rarity shivering. At the office, "Ok, nothing is going on so I guess I'm good!" Said Gamble. That's when he heard foot steps and singing "Were apples to *glitch* the core. There's no place that I'd rather be, than travelin' with mah family," sang Aj. That's when he put the Applejack mask on and she came in. "Howdy there! *glitch* have y'all seen the night guard?" She asked. "Uh nope! No night guard here!" Gamble replied. "NIGHT GUARD! IM GUNNA KICK YOUR FLANK!" yelled Rainbow dash. "RAINBOW DASH NO!" screamed Pinkie. The night guard took out his flash light and shined it in RDs face. "Ow! Just ugh!" She said closing her eyes. "Oh howdy there Rainbow! Did y'all find the night guard?" Asked Aj. "That's the night guard!" She replied pointing at him. Applejack then looked at him. He looked like her, just without the hat. "Nope, ah'm pretty sure thats Applejack." She said. "No! Your Applejack! Pinkie pie back me up here!" Rainbow replied looking at Pinkie (who was now in the vent). "I dont care if she's Applejack or not. I just want to get my hooves on those sweet, suculant, double AA batteries!" Pinkie said smiling like a maniac. "Look there can't be two Aj's ok! You are Applejack!" Rainbow said point at Applejack. But instead it went on her nose. No one spoke, it was just complete silence. Till Applejack walked away. "Where are you going?" Asked Rainbow. "Buck this shit, ah'm out!" Applejack said limping down the hall. "Ugh! Wait! What time is it?" Asked Rainbow. Then Twilight walked in. "Oh hey guys, where the night guard?" Asked Twilight. "Oh Twilight! Why time is it?" Asked Rainbow. "Oh well its 5:59am, why?" Said Twilight looking at her clock. "5:59!?!" She yelled. Then she took the mask off and it revealed the night guard. "ITS THE NIGHT GUARD!" Rainbow yelled. "The night guard?" Asked Twilight. "The night guard?" Asked Applejack. "Batteries?" Asked Pinkie. "No no no! Its me Appl-OH MY GOSH!" said Gamble. Then Applejack lunged at him, until the morning bell rung, and everyone froze. Gamble smiled for a few seconds, then threw up on his pants. "Woah! What happened to you?" Asked Lyra taking the keys. "A lot. And I dont wanna explain!" Gamble said flatly. Then he walked out. By then all the animatronics were back where they were supposed to be. Night 4 and a new attraction. "DIE NIGHT GUARD!" Yelled Applejack killing Gamble. Everyone was saddened by this but had to move on. But little did Applejack know, that one mistake would cost her the life she loved. 5 months later, "Welcome to Rainbows Fright! Where every night here is a scare!" Said the phone guy. "Gee no wonder." Said a sarcastic night guard named Mike. "So here's a few things, beware of the main 5, they walk around. And in the camera labeled number 7, there's a child sound box. Play that and it will effect one of them, but not all. So have fun and stay safe!" With that he hung up. As Mike checked the cameras, he played the box and saw a figure, in a corner watching something on a tv. "Howdy kids! Mah names Applejack! Let's have some fun!" Said the tv playing. She then looked at the camera and then back at the TV. Then I saw a flash back to the old restaurant. Flash back, "Applejack, APPLEJACK!" The happy kids shouted at the stage. Then out came an animontronic, with a hat, orange skin and blonde metal hair and green eyes. "Are y'all ready to have some fun?" She asked smiling. "YES!" They screamed. She began to sing, "My little pony, My little pony. My little pony, ah used to wonder what friendship could be. Won't y'all share it's magic with me?" They all cheered as she finished, she had a big smile on her face. Applejack loved her job, she just hated the a night guards. So they killed them, they went through 7 night guards, most killed by Pinkie pie. "Ah love y'all kids, ah wouldn't trade this fur the world!" She cheers. After closing, they all got up, and Applejack went to the new night guard. His name was Gamble. She then attacked him and ripped her head off. After that, they never put her on stage again, Rainbow dash took her spot and she went to her spot. Everyday, being torn up by those brats. Until she killed Gamble, then things really changed, she was put in the repair room, and they didn't put a Applejack out there. She was stuck there, wasting away. Until they decided to crush her and make a better model. But before they could, the restaurant burned down and she was kept there, in all the ash. Since that day she swore she would get back at anyone who stands in her way of being adored. Even if it means killing a few. Present day, "Wow," Mike said. "Wow indeed, she was loved. Now she's hated." Spoke a voice walking in. It was Twilight Sparkle, she was purple with a horn and wings and was rusty and moldy. "A-arnt you gonna try and kill me?" Mike asked. "No, I've lost the will. Everyone has. But Applejack hasn't. She will keep killing until she gets what she thinks she deserves. But really, she doesn't need it, she wants it." She cried putting her head down. "I-I don't know what to do to help." Mike said getting up. "There's nothing you can do, only leave before she gets you." She corrected leaving the room. "Wait!" He called. "Yes?" She asked. "Tell me more." "Ok, after her head was ripped off, and she lost her spot and title, she became cold and deceitful. Never have I ever seen a pony with so much anger," She says saddened. "I still don't know what happened to my old friend."
