Five Nights At Sugar Palace

"We've been walking down this hallway for Hoursss!"  Rarity groaned. "Whoever's prank this is, it isn't funny anymore!" She trotted down the hallway, Fluttershy closely fallowing behind.

    "It's not that bad... is it... right?" Fluttershy whelped. "I mean... it's not like there is anything... t-terrifying down this... hallway..."

"Relax, darling," Rarity sighed, "I am sure there is nothing spooky here."

"I-I know! B-but what if... just maybe... those scary robots from the resturant are going to jump out of us... and drag us back down from once they c-came!" Fluttershy cried, shivering.

Rarity gave her a look in response. "Sure is getting cold, though. Are you cold?"

"I-I suppose so..."

Rarity got into her saddle bag and pulled out two sweaters. "I brought these, just incase it would be cold on the train ride home... but..." she sighed. "Here."

"Oh, thank you! But you really don't have to!"

"I Insist!"

"Well... ok..." Fluttershy put the fuzzy pink sweater over her head, putting her wings through the holes. She wondered why she had one specifically for a Pegasus, but just pushed it aside to not question. "Thank you again."

"No problem!" Rarity said, also putting on her light lavender blue sweater. " Now, on ward down the...!" Rarity froze, staring at the walls in front of her.

" Rarity? What's wrong?" Puzzled Fluttershy.

"The... the posters! have those... have those always been there... and why are they..." she stumbled back, using her horn to light the hallway a bit more to see the posters better. "... crying... and..."

"What do you mean? These are just the posters of the band in the playhouse."

Rarity looked at her in disbelief. "No, no they are not!" Rarity stared closely at the poster. It was a portrait of a small filly, almost looking ancient. She had wide green eyes that rolled back in her head, her mouth agape. She looked boney, her cheeks caved in and neck scrawny and almost... broken. The large eyes had dark red streaks down the cheeks, and the mane was matted and dirty, like it hasn't been touched in years. Looking closer, it looked like it was hoof painted like a school grade filly, with crude lines and an eerie simplicity to it. Backing up and seeing it all together, she realized that the filly in the drawings looked... familiar. "Sweetie Belle?"

"Rarity, they're just posters, let's keep going, maybe we'll see somepony who can help us?" Fluttershy interjected. "Are you sure your eyes aren't playing tricks on you?"

"M...maybe your right, darling. "

"Look!" Fluttershy said happily, looking just ahead. "A door!"

"Oh, finally!" Rarity cheered, still glancing wyrly at the posters.  "It's been forever!" Rarity trotted towards the door, Fluttershy flying ahead of her.

Rarity pulled the metal door open. "It this the kitchen?"

Though it was dark, they could see that there was a big counter, an oven, and a large pantry and freezer, the walls lined with cut pastel cabinets. there was a side room that lead to the party room, and a door that read "Power room"

"Somepony must have just turned off the power," Rarity said with relief, "Let me just turn it back on.  You wait right here, Fluttershy, I'll be right back."

"W-wait! Your going to leave me here? All by myself?"

"Only for a moment, darling. I'm just going to flip a switch and be right back."

"O...ok..."

Rarity opened the power room door and walked inside, then found a main control panel with a power on, power off switch. "Well, that was easy enough."  She flipped the switch and sighed with exhaustion when the lights buzzed back on.

"Angel!" Fluttershy screamed in the other room. Rarity ran out to see Fluttershy joyfully hugging her pet rabbit, the rabit itself looking a bit cross in the matter.  "Oh, I've been so worried about you! Why did you leave me?! Do you know a way out?"

Angel rolled his eyes and pointed to the door to the party room.

"Fluttershy, you brought Angel with you?"

"Oh, I never leave my cottage without at least one fuzzy friend, and Angel wanted to come, too!" She gleefully smiled. "Now, let's go!" Fluttershy opened the side door and let out a shriek. "Ahhh!"

"What is it?" Rarity peered inside to see a griffon animatronic, mostly gold but with green edges and, like all of the robots, a bit of grey metal sticking out of the joints. It's beak was a yellow orange and it had a long spotted tail like a cheetah. "It's only Garson, that robot waiter thingy." Rarity assured. "This it probably just where they store him when he's not turned on." Angel scampered forward to get a better look for himself, when suddenly the robot turned on and started moving.

Angel shrieked and ran to the open door to the party room. "Angel, wait!" Fluttershy screamed, chasing after him. Rarity started to run after Fluttershy, when Garson stopped in front of the door and closed it.

"Rarity!"

Rarity spun to see a large arch way, under which was Twilight and Rainbow Dash. "Girls! I am so glad to see you! help me move this thing, Fluttershy is trapped inside!"

"What are you talking about?" Rainbow said, looking at where Rarity was pointing.

Rarity looked around her to see she was on the opposite side of the main room, no doors on either side. "W-what?"

"You must have been dreaming, "Twilight said. "We just found you sleeping out here after the power turned on."

"Oh! well... where are the others? I want to get out of here..."

"We don't know." Rainbow said. "We were with Pinkie Pie, but she went wondering away by herself, so..."

"I see." Rarity said monotonously.

"Rarity," Twilight said, "Are you okay?"

"Just a bad dream! That's... that's all."
