Monster Urge Mansion

One the outskirts of town, there sits an unoccupied mansion on top of a tall hill. It wasn't in a state of disrepair nor there is a need to renovate it. It just that nobody is living in it now. But while there isn't anybody living there now, it has become a target of a surge of rumors that everybody is talking now.

Rumour has it that a couple of teens were dared to spare a night at that mansion. When they came back, they say that they were something abnormal about that place. They didn't say it was haunted or see any ghosts or the like, but claims that there were... "possessed" Saying that the mansion made them do stuff that there weren't normally do. When pressed on what they did, they clammed up and refuse to speak. And when other people heard that story, they decide to spent a night at the mansions themselves and came back with a similar experience.

With the mansion quickly becoming a hot topic among gossiping teens, a certain group of Canterlot High students decide to investigate the rumour. Arriving at the front gate as the sun was setting, Sunset, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity and Twilight look up to the mansion. These girls have a couple of names for their group; The Rainbooms, The Wondercolts, "The Girls from Canterlot High". But whatever they are, they are a group of close friends who were mentally preparing themselves for the night ahead.

"Is this the place?" Fluttershy asked as she was slowly becoming nervous.

"Yep. I'm pretty sure it's this place" Sunset calmly replied.

Everyone was feeling tense, unsure on what they gunna find in there. Hoping to lighten the mood, Pinkie says out loud: "Ooh!? I wonder what spooky-stuff we will find in there?" Unfortunately, she only ends up making Fluttershy even more nervous.

But then Applejack soon responds: "But whatever it is, I'm sure we'll can handle it together!"

"Right!" said a confident Twilight.

With their spirits slightly high, Sunset opens the gate and all the girls began walking along the trail towards the mansion. The sun slowly disappears over the horizon and night began to take hold over the sky. And as they were walking, the girls began to think on some of the stuff that led them up them there.

After coming back from Camp Everfree, they learn that magic was leaking out of Equestria and was effecting certain places in their world. Knowing all too well on what magic can do to people, the girls take it upon themselves to round up the escaped magic before they could do any harm. This often made them chase up rumours and lead to dead ends that made them feel that they wasted their time. But sometimes, they would find a magical object causing a commotion and swiftly act to stop it. You could say that they became paranormal investigators in a sense.

But as they were walking up the path, something about this mission makes them feel uneasy. Maybe it got something to do with them possibly staying at a (possible) haunted mansion for the night? Maybe this will be another wild goose hunt where they won't find anything. But regardless, Rainbow Dash ends up asking:

"So, when we get in there, what are we expecting to find?"

Twilight replies: "Well if it's anything, it'll probably be a geode that will be emanating magical energy. If it's there, all we have to do is to find it and retrieve it."

"Ok, but what if it isn't there? How long would we have to search for until we can go home?"

"Are you scared Rainbow?" AJ mockingly asked.

Dash strongly replies: "NO! It just that I got swimming practice to tomorrow and I don't want to be tired for it." When they heard that, they quickly understand in where she is getting at.

Sunset says to her: "Hmm... How about up to 30-60 minutes? Does that sound ok to you Rainbow?"

After considering it, Dash happily responded: "Ok. I'm down with that." And right behind her, the rest of their friends were in similar agreement... but except for Pinkie.

"Aww!" Pinkie moaned. "I want to see what it is like sleeping in a haunted mansion."

"No offence Pinkie Pie, but only would be the type of person who would say that" Rarity stated. Pinkie shrugs and wasn't too offended.

As they were coming up to the front door, there was still enough time for Fluttershy to remark: "Well I am hoping that this place isn't haunted by ghosts or stuff. From the outside, it doesn't look all that scary."

"Well that is because this place has only been abandoned only recently Fluttershy" Twilight explained. "The owners moved out a few months and nobody is interested in buying it. I don't even think any real estate agents have put a price on it yet." Everyone found that fact peculiar but also somewhat interesting.

When they were all at the front footsteps, there were all left staring at a well-designed. Rarity (in her head) was complimenting the craftsmen for making a such a divine door. However, all of them were a bit scared about opening it. The only people who were willing to open it was Sunset (who was the head of the pack since they got there) and Rainbow Dash (who was just that naturally cocky brave). Sunset was faster to act so she was the one to twist the knob and opens the door.

As the door slowly opens, it makes a loud creaking sound that echoes throughout the mansion. The girls quickly get in and were quickly welcomed by the dim-lighting of the place. As they were dreading that they had to investigate the mansion in darkness, Sunset quickly found the light switch on the wall right next to her. She flicks it and lights instantly came on and shows them that they were in a rather welcoming foyer. They question how the place still has power, but they eventually guess that the mansion has its own generator that is still powering it.

When she sees the foyer, a delighted Fluttershy happily remarks: "Ooh! This place isn't nearly as scary then what I imagined it to be."

"I agree" Rarity added. "Whoever designed this place did a wonderful job decorating and making it look "elegant." Meanwhile, their friends let Rarity and Fluttershy have their moment and let them be relax to the scenery.

Once they had their moment, the girls then get into the mood to do some investigating. Bumped, Rainbow Dash asks: "Ok, so what's the game plan?"

Everyone eyes were on Twilight and Sunset since they were the smart one of the group. Twilight tells them: "Well since this is a big mansion, me and Sunset thought we all should split up and cover more ground."

"Are you sure about that?" Fluttershy retorted. "Is that what they do in those old cartoons?"

"Don't worry" Sunset quickly replied. She explains: "We will only be split up into groups and everyone will have walkie talkies." When she said that, everyone brought out the walkie talkies that was given to them before they arrive. "We should be in constant communication with each and if something does come up, shout into yours and we all will run to your location."

When they all heard the plan, they could get behind it and follow it. They continue to listen to Sunset as she divides them into groups.

"Ok! Me, Twilight and Rarity will see what is on 2nd floor. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, you two will search the ground floor. Is that ok with you two?"

When Fluttershy was initially hesitant, Pinkie pops over, put her arm around Fluttershy shoulder and confidently says: "Don't worry Sunset! We'll got this!" Seeing that she will have a friend by her side, Fluttershy feels like she could be safe and nods."

"Alright! Rainbow and Applejack; you two will try to find the basement and see if there's anything down there."

"Right!" said RD and Applejack in unison.

Happy to see that everyone was on the same page, Sunset put her hand out to the centre. When her friends put their hands-on top of hers, she says: "Well since everything is sorted, I guess we will..."

"SPLIT!"

After everyone had split up, they all began search different parts of the mansion. Fluttershy and Pinkie look wondered around the ground floor and all they see were just living rooms and a dining hall. Meanwhile, Applejack and Rainbow Dash found a door down to the basement but it was in complete darkness. On the 2nd floor, Twilight and Sunset come across a library and was fascinated with all the books that it still has. Rarity on the other hand was finding large bedrooms and luxurious bathrooms she was enamoured with all of it. All the while, they were keeping in contact with each other with the walkie talkies and constantly know where everybody is always.

About 10 minutes later, everybody slowly began getting bored. While flicking through some books, Twilight says to Sunset: So, what do you think Sunset? Do think anything will pop up tonight?"

Contemplating, Sunset says out loud: "Well... the rumours say that whoever is at the mansion at night will have weird stuff happen to them. If we stay around long enough, then maybe one of use will act strangely and we'll know that something here."

"It sounds like you using us as bait" said Twilight in a concerned tone.

Realizing how she sounded, Sunset reiterates: "No! No! No! Nothing Like That! It just that the rumours that I heard, the people there somehow became... a little bit "intimate" with each other."

"Intimate!"

But then, all of a sudden, they heard a scream through the walkie talkie.

"AAH! *THUMP*"

It didn't sound like a scream of extreme duress. It sounded more like somebody trip over and fell to the ground. As Sunset and Twilight wondering if they should check on the others, Applejack spoke through the radio.

"Guys! You All Need to See This! Quick!"

Hearing the urgent tone in AJ's voice, Sunset and Twilight drop what they were doing and began running to their location. They pick up Rarity and met Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy on the ground floor. They run around and try to find AJ's and Rainbow Dash's location. Soon, when Applejack saw them, she yells out to them: "OVER HERE!" Hearing her, they all ran to her.

As they were getting close, Twilight says: "We heard your scream. What has... WHAT THE!"

But when they got to them, they saw Rainbow Dash down to the ground. She wasn't unconscious or severely injured. She was still wide awake and was trying to pick herself up. However, she was having some difficulty because of what happened to her legs.

You see, she didn't have any legs to stand on. Instead of two long limbs, Rainbow has one long tail. The tail was covered in fish scales and it looks long and smooth. There was a small fin on the back and flippers at the end of 'em. With shock expressions on everyone's faces, Rainbow friends could see that Rainbow Dash has turn into...

A Mermaid!
