Adventures in Equestria: My Perspective

“Alright, so I think I know what to do.” I look and point at the small red rolling chair by me. “Just sit here. I then point over to a wall with a whole lot of security monitors on it, one for every room. “Look at all of these monitors, and make sure nothing bad happens.” I say to the tan earth pony stallion in front of me, him looking quite happy.

I was on the first day of my job as a nighttime security officer. Although after hearing that all I ever will do is look at monitors and report something I see wrong to the police, I was starting to think this was a bad idea.

“Yeah, can I just go home now?” I say to him, his smile disappearing.

Why would anypony take a job like this? (Look who's talking.)

The stallion puts his arm around me, his smile coming back. “Now now. This can be fun once you think about it.” He lets go of me, walking to the open doorway. “Why I bet a little visit from our friends would convince you that this place is ok.” He says happily.

“Yeah, I sure it would.” I say sarcastically.

The pony walks out of the room, immediately locking the door from the outside.

“What a weird pony. So what I do now? Watch security cameras.” I say in a jokingly tone.

I walk over to the wall of monitors, able to see every room in the whole building (including the mare’s room.).

“Colts and Fillies room?” I look into each monitor of both restrooms, both looking quite calm. “Looks alright to me.”

“How about kitchen?” I look into the kitchen screen, again looking calm. “Not too bad.”

“Um... main dining area?” I look into that monitor.

On the screen, I see a bunch of tables and chairs, lined perfectly across from each other. Also seeing into the room a small stage in the corner. On it our what appears to be three animatronics ponies. One holding a guitar, the other by a drum kit, and the final one by a microphone.

“Again, nothing here.” I walk away from the monitors to my chair, lifting my feet up onto the desk. “Now to be bored.”

* * *

“Well it’s been five minutes, better check on what’s not interesting.” I walk over to the wall of monitors, seeing all rooms still the same.

Except for the dining area.

“Uh, weren’t there three animatronics ponies there before?” Right as I say that, I hear loud metal like sounds coming from the hallway.

My face gets all nervous. “Ok, it’s alright.” I sit back down on the chair.

Wait a minute.

This better not be some fnaf sh(buys some apples)it.

It probably is.

That other pony, the happy one is probably doing this to get me more interested in this job.

Why would somepony come back the next night after this?

“That’s it I’m out of here.” I say angrily.

* * *

Walking through a dark hallway is scary.

Knowing there’s evil animatronic monsters trying to possibly kill you is even scarier.

“Lousy no-good job. Where can that pony go off to? I’m not even wearing a uniform.” I mumble to myself as I walk further into the darkness.

“There it is.” I say, pointing to the pair of double glass doors leading out of this place.

Then a jumpscare appears.

A being made out of metal, a little fur, and some other parts appears right in front of me.

“Aaaahhhhhhh....” I scream, sounding terrified at first, then the volume of it going down.

Wait a minute, what am I scared of?

I confidently place my hoof over the top of the being’s head, then with one strong pull, taking it off.

“A ha! The stallion who tried to convince me that this job was alright.” I say after I take off what appears to be a mask. Under it being the stallion from before, disguised like the animatronic you know.

“Tell me. Why did you do this?” I ask him suspiciously, yet sounding like a smart aleck.

“I wanted to show you that this place was ok. And I thought if I scared the sh(buy some apples)at out of you, you’ll maybe wanna come back. Five more nights maybe at least.” He says to me sincerely. “And I would’ve gotten away with it too if it weren’t for you meddling fillies, and your dog too.” Saying in a much more angry tone.

"Wha...?"

I look to see four ponies and a dog somehow magically appearing behind me.

“Um... where you all come from?” I state the obvious.

“No time for that. Do you know that you just captured one of Equestria’s most wanted criminals." The blonde earth pony stallion says to me.

“What?”

“You see, Mr. Newbell here dresses up in this ridiculous costume every year, tries to scare the next nighttime security officer into staying. And if they do indeed stay, then he’ll have full access of the entire restaurant. All to look for the deed.” The brown haired unicorn mare explains to me.

“How you even got all that is a mystery to me.” I say to her.

“Oh, it’s all true.” The pony says straight to me.

“Hey can you give the manager my message?” I say pleasantly to him.

“Ok, what is it?”

“I QUIT!”

* * *

“That’s the last time I take a job working night shift.” I mumble to myself, walking down Ponyville street.

“Hey can you do me a favor?” a strange small unicorn filly says to me, wearing a brown trenchcoat and big hat.

sigh “What is it?” I say angrily.

“It’s the pizzeria. Something is going to happen there, And I need you to go inside, and report to me what it is.” She says secretly to me.

“NO!”

I walk away from her.

“The nerves of some ponies.”

Epilogue

“Ok, what now?” I say to myself sitting on a park bench.

“Bored...... nothing to talk about or nopony to talk to.”

Lyra Heartstrings walks up to me, sitting down on the bench her usual way, smiling at me.

“What? Wanna hand?” I say jokingly to her. Lyra not appearing to take it well.

After a few minutes, “I gotta go. I got a....... spa appointment.” I give a cheesy smile, then getting up from the bench and quickly running off somewhere.

I run over to hide behind a tree.

phew “It looked liked she she was serious about the hand part.” I say in between pants.
