CHaPTeR V: THRee PaTHS PaRT III ( GRouP III & ReuNioN)
Previous ChapterIn the piano room was Fluttershy and Applejack, they were beginning to discuss what to do next.
"Well, um, we're here, so not what?" Fluttershy asked.
"We'll examine this room before the others get here," Applejack explained.
"O-okay, um, first, the piano..." Fluttershy said.
They then took a look at, last time Sunset looked at it, it really was just an ordinary black piano. However, now there was red stuff covering the keys.
"It's covered in something red, you see," Fluttershy said, "It wasn't like this earlier to my knowledge."
"I'm not sure why they're covered in whatever that stuff is. Was there something on the keys before the red stuff was put on it?" Applejack asked.
"Not to my knowledge," Fluttershy said.
"Hmm... Fluttershy, ya still got yer spare paper towels?" Applejack asked
"Of course!" Fluttershy said taking out some paper towels from a pocket on her skirt, "I always have them just in case of spill emergencies at home, school ,or the animal shelter."
Applejack took some and begun to wipe off the keys accidentally pressing down on some of them by accident. When all was said and done, though, what was now on the keys surprised both of them. It was a series of red numbers on all of the white keys ranging from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0 and all of them in a scrambled order.
"Numbers!" Applejack said, "Now who in the hay drew numbers on the keys?!"
Fluttershy gasped before saying, "I think I know! It must be a code for something!"
"Now, what in tarnation made y'all come up to that random conclusion?" Applejack asked.
"I saw something similar to this in a movie I watched with Pinkie Pie once! It was a Japanese horror movie where six kids entered a mansion, got chased by this terrifying creature called Ao Oni and had to solve puzzles in order to escape! In the movie, one puzzle was like this, blood on the piano, and numbers were on the keys," Fluttershy said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold the phone! You watched a horror movie with Pinkie?!" Applejack asked.
"Not by free choice, though," Fluttershy said.
"Oh." Applejack said, "Well do ya remember what the numbers went to?"
"I-I'm sorry, but I don't. It's been a while since I saw that movie with Pinkie Pie so I don't really remember all the details," Fluttershy said.
"Damn..." Applejack cursed under her breath, "I'm gonna look around the room a little more."
And then Applejack began her quick look around the room.
"Numbers... they must be a code for something." Fluttershy said to herself, "Something that uses numbers..."
"Numbers... puzzles... Security, too. So, security breach... but this house isn't that high-tech so... a safe, or something..." Fluttershy said to herself.
"Ugh, the stuff in here is nothing special, so wait here while I go to the room next door. It shouldn't take too long." Applejack said, "There was a lot of books in there, and while I'm not one for readin' myself, standards have changed since we've been in this mansion."
"Oh, okay. Just be careful," Fluttershy said.
And with that Applejack left the room and was gone. Fluttershy then took this time t slam her head onto the piano keys accidentally making a loud noise.
"I never wanted to come here. I SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE!" Fluttershy shouted as loud as she could, "I never wanted to come here! Pinkie Pie knew this, yet she forced me to come here!! I mean out of all the people to go along with Pinkie Pie, why did she choose me?! Applejack was more suited to go with her and she knew it! But, NOOOOOO! Have the scared, timid, and easily wet her panties girl go along like as if her timidness is supposed to be comic relief!! I'm getting sick and tired of always being pushed around and forces into things! Everytime Pinkie wants me to do something with her it's always something I don't approve of or nearly gives me a mother fucking, GOD DAMNED HEART ATTACK!!! I just wish I had the courage to tell it right in front of Pinkie Pie's face that she's crossed the line too far this time!! ARRRGH! I'M JUST SO MAD I WANNA STRANGLE HER!!!"
Suddenly she heard the sound of the door opening and closing and immediately gained back her composure.
"Oh, is that you, Applejack? I'm sorry; I haven't looked here yet." Fluttershy said in her usual timid voice getting up from her position, "Also! We were told not to do anything alone, remember? I'm coming with you this time."
But as soon as she turned around, she felt like she was going to die, because the monster was right there.
"Whoa!!" Fluttershy went, "Wh-wha-wha-wha--what--"
Option A: Talk to It
Option B: Stand Still
Option C: Pantie Slip
Option A: Talk to It
"I... Hem... Wha... He... Do you... have anything... to... to-to... tell me about?" Fluttershy asked the creature.
The only thing that could be heard was Fluttershy's scream and then silence as the monster looked at his work. Blood was now all over the piano and Fluttershy lied in a puddle of her own blood, her own upper body not a pretty sight for those who could find her.
GAME OVER
Option B: Stand Still
Suddenly the monster began to look around confused.
Huh? Can it not see me when I'm standing still? Fluttershy thought, Wh-wh-why did this have to happen just when I'm all alone?! Maybe the others were killed? No, I can't think that. Wh-wh-wh-what am I going to do?
Option B-1: Pretend to be a flower
Option B-2: Faint
Option B-3: Run like the wind!
Option C: Pantie Slip
Shaking like there was no tomorrow out of fear Fluttershy didn't realize, though, that her panties were falling down to around her ankles and when she tried to run she ended up slipping and falling hitting her head in the process knocking her out cold and unknowingly sending her panties flying onto the monster's horn. The monster thinking Fluttershy was dead left the room with her panties in tow around its horn.

Fluttershy tried to hold still as best she could, but she ended up shaking a bit causing her panties to go down to her feet. And then just like that she fainted but not before her legs jumped up and tossed her panties into the air and onto the monster. The creature looked at Fluttershy and thought she died from lack of oxygen and left the room unknowingly with her panties around its horn.

Fluttershy couldn't take it anymore and quickly tried to make a run for it only to be seen and then, CRUNCH! What happened to her? Well... the real question is, where'd her upper half go to?

Fluttershy then mustered up all of her courage and decided to talk to it.
"Um, uh, d-o you see me? Fluttershy asked.
The only thing that could be heard was Fluttershy's scream and then silence as the monster looked at his work. Blood was now all over the piano and Fluttershy lied in a puddle of her own blood, her own upper body not a pretty sight for those who could find her.
GAME OVER

I am a flower... I am a flower... I am a flower... I am a flower... I am a flower... I am a flower... I am a flower... I am a flower... I am a flower... I am a flower... I am a flower... I am a flower... Fluttershy thought.
"I.. eh... This... Dis... I... Azz..." Fluttershy said quietly before fainting.
And then just like that she fainted but not before her legs jumped up and tossed her panties into the air and onto the monster. The creature looked at Fluttershy and thought she died from lack of oxygen and left the room unknowingly with her panties around its horn.

Section 2
I... I can't see anything... Anything but the dark... Fluttershy thought.
"Hey, Fluttershy!!" Came to a familiar voice as Fluttershy felt herself being slapped, "Wake up consarn it! Open your eyes!"
Fluttershy then opened her eyes to see Applejack over her.
"Egh... Ha... Uh?" Fluttershy went as she woke up, "... Wh... Whaz'happened?"
"I don't know!" Applejack said, "I came back and you were lying on the floor, near the piano, with your panties missing."
"Ah... I..." Fluttershy stuttered out of embarrassment.
"You scared me! Did something happen?!" Applejack asked.
"Ah... Hem... No... I can't remember very well but... Since the flow of time is so strange, you didn't run into it..." Fluttershy said.
"Run into... what?" Applejack asked.
"Aouch... My head hurts... I... I don't think that creature will be coming to this room for a while... That's all I'm going to say," Fluttershy said.
With all three groups surviving they met back up in the piano room to discuss the situation further.
"-and by breaking the clocks, we adjust the time... so it is imperative that we do this." Sunset said, "We have broken the clocks on the second and first floor. Now, only this floor and the one above are left."
"We found this weird scrap of paper and a lighter filled with some lighter fluid. And we found a safe inside a room in the kitchen," Pinkie said.
"A safe? Maybe the numbers on the piano keys could be some kind of hint?" Fluttershy said.
"Yeah, then we can open the safe and make some progress. So, first of all... shouldn't we take a look at that scrap of paper that Pinkie found?" Gloriosa said.
"Yeah, they're a perfect match. Try sticking them together," Sci-Twi said.
"Argh!! S... sorry, it's my cell phone." Sci-Twi said.
"Again? Gloriosa's also rang earlier," Scootaloo said.
"Same here! We heard a piano!" Pinkie said.
"A piano?" Fluttershy asked.
"Well, anyway, I'll answer it," Sci-Twi said answering her phone.
And then to everyone's surprise, what they heard was the sound of a piano note before the call ended.
"It really was a piano. But it was a different note from the one Gloriosa heard. Pinkie, did you also hear a different note?" Sunset asked.
"Yeah, it was different," Pinkie replied.
"Only one note. That's the only thing in common. But there is no doubt that they're a big hint. We should all solve this one by one," Sci-Twi said.
"Yes. If we do that, we'll soon be able to meet Flash and Rarity. Though they'll probably get mad at us for taking so long," Sunset said.
"Eh? What?" Pinkie went.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Sci-Twi asked.
"Er, what... Did I say something wrong?" Sunset asked.
"... Gloriosa," Timber said.
"Yes, I know. It's okay," Gloriosa said.
"Ex... cuse me?" Sunset went in an annoyed tone.
"You said 'something wrong' ... was it on purpose? Not that I care to correct you, but... poor Rainbow Dash," Sci-Twi said.
"What?!" Fluttershy shouted.
"C-come on, now, what's wrong with you?" Sci-Twi asked Pinkie, "We're here to save Flash, aren't we? Neither Rarity, Sweetie Belle, nor Rainbow Dash came to this place."
"Only... Flash? No, wait a minute. We-Well, Flash said at school he said he wanted to come..." Sunset said, "And I said... I'd come with him... so I came here with Flash...."
"Wait-Sunset, what's wrong with you? The three of us came here with Rainbow Dash remember?" Pinkie asked Sunset.
"Flash didn't come, and Rarity got separated from Gloriosa and the others..." Pinkie said.
"You guys..." Scootaloo said.
"Wait! Wasn't Flash the only one who disappeared? Why do you keep bringing those three up?" Sci-Twi asked.
"What on Earth is going on......?" Sunset asked.
