Sweetie Belle's Mansion
It started one Sunday morning, a letter in the mailbox which was strange since the mail doesn’t arrive on a Sunday. It has been a boring week, Lord Tirek hasn’t tried to kidnapped Princess Diamond Tiara so my twin sister; Scootaloo had been bored out of her mind. I fix the green cap on my head with a small white circle with one letter, just an “S”
“What you got there Sweetie Belle?” My sister asked me.
I looked over at Scootaloo, she pulled her red cap back up since it was covering her purple colour eyes, the cap was just like mine instead it was the colour red. Claiming it was the “cooler" cap choice.
“Just a letter.” I replied, Scootaloo grabbed the letter out of my hoof.
My sister have always been like that, always looking for adventure. Scootaloo have always been the brave one going out to risk her life to save Princess Diamond whenever Lord Tirek decide to kidnap her. While I sat afraid of almost everything, even when Scootaloo marches onto another adventure to save the Princess, she always try to look out of me.
Scootaloo read the letter, I could almost hear the gears in her head turning and see the steam coming out from her ears. Once she stopped Scootaloo’s face lit up like an Hearth’s Warming Eve Tree.
“This is AWESOME!” Scootaloo cried out, I just raised my eyebrow.
Scootaloo then shoved the letter into my face, my eyes read each word.
Dear Lady Sweetie Belle:
You have just won a free mansion, in Night Turn Forest. I have read about your great adventures that you had shared with you twin sister.
So I’ll like to give you one of my mansions as a gift, you and a guess of your choice (But I sure hope it’s your sister.) Can come and take a walk around, spend the night. I’m sure once you get here, you’ll never want to leave.
“This sounds too creepy Scoots.” I said, looking at my sister.
Scootaloo was already in the middle of packing a extra red hat, a white paper letter, a yellow star, two extra white gloves and a pair of extra brown boots. The Pegasus look at me, then started laugh.
“You must be joking, Belle. You just have won a free mansion, this is awesome!” Scootaloo spoke, closing her fully packed suitcase.
“Well I’m just saying…” I began, before Scootaloo stood next to me her leg wrapped around me.
“Look if it is a trap, then we can just beat up the guy who tried to trick us.”
“Still sounds off putting, but fine.” I told her
Scootaloo just smiled as she pulled me into a tight hug. The next day came by so fast, Scootaloo couldn’t wait to leave. I just shook my head and told her she can go on and I’ll meet her there.
Before heading to Night Turn Forest, I meet with the young Princess Diamond as she sat in the royal gardens outside the large stone castle. I told her everything, the letter, Scootaloo have already left. Princess Diamond sat quiet, listening to me go on about my so called wonderful life.
“Good luck.” Princess Diamond told me.
The Princess gave me a small, but sweet kiss on the cheek. I gave her a smile and then I made my way West, towards Night Turn Forest. Where the sun barely shined, where the trees die and black raven bird sat on them, where only the strong stay alive while the weak is tonights dinner.
I hated this place, it seems that every move I make something was watching me. Green eyes watch from the brushes, I think that I may just hate my sister from now on, making me go through his creepy forest alone.
I read the letter once more, then looking at the giant green mansion in front of me. It was so run down, one of the stairs broke when I put the weight of my hoof on it. No wonder why I got this place for free it’s a disaster!
Either that or Scootaloo was right saying I been putting on a bit of extra weight, maybe I shouldn’t have given her that black eye when she told me that.
I open the large double door, the floor made a squeaking noise when I walked on top of it. Laughter filled the empty hall, two large stairs one on the right while the other on the left, the chandelier lights flicker. I pulled out my flashlight, walking up the broken stairs.
I soon found another double door, I pushed with all my strength. Once the door swing open by itself, I rolled on the dusty dirty wooden floor. Banging my head onto the wall, laughter filled the room once again, laughing at my misfortune.
I felt a tapping on my shoulder, I quickly turned around seeing nothing there. My breathing was getting faster by the second and that’s when I saw it, the reason why I got this mansion for free. Not how run-down it is, or how the ceiling being broken causing the moonlight to shine down. It was because it was haunted!
The ghost or should I say ghosts since there was two of them. First one was orange with yellow eyes, short, white teeth. While the second one seems to be having more fun laughing at me for falling down and backing away in fear. The second ghost is green, much shorter than the orange one next to him, the green ghost also seem to be wearing a pan on its head.
All I could think to do was shine my flashlight on them, blinding them both, I shut my eyes in fear. I heard some weird noises, for a while until it stopped. I couldn’t open my eyes, still scared out of my mind. That was until I heard this female voice.
“Are you alright, child?” I open my eyes, seeing a mare that has a bluish gray coat, dark blue mane and tail, amber eyes and a cutie mark of a purple heart and four outward-facing crescent moons. She held a vacuum cleaner on her back.
“Umm… Yes, I’m Sweetie Belle. I got a letter saying I won this mansion for free.” I told her
“Ah yes, you can call me Moonlight Raven, or you call call me M.L Raven or just Raven. I do research on the ghost in Night Turn Forest. That was until this mansion appeared out of nowhere. Then this orange filly with a red hat came rushing in here.”
“That’s my sister! Where is she?” I asked, M.L Raven shrugged her shoulders, moving the red vacuum cleaner on her back.
“No idea,”
“I need to save her, can you help me?” I asked, M.L Raven gave me a smile.
“Sure kid, first let’s go to my shed.”
The shed was so small, spiderwebs in the corners the light dim with only one small window. M.L Raven explain to me that the ghost in Night Turn Forest was peaceful, that was until the mansion appeared out of nowhere. Causing all the peaceful ghost to go mad and begin to attack.
Then there was her new invention, the Poltergust 3000 the first of its kind; a machine made by M.L Raven and the ghosts as a last resort. It meant to catch ghosts and imprison them without harming them, just a place to put harmful ghost until they learn to be more peaceful and leave the living alone.
I put on the Poltergust 3000, since M.L Raven said that I was so good at blinding the ghost to make them easier to trap. Saying something like “Oh, I’m not scared… It just umm…”
No matter how much this place terrified me, I held my chin high, my flashlight at the ready. Thanks to M.L Raven giving me a battery that could last throughout the night. Fixing the green cap on my head and the somewhat heavy Poltergust 3000; that I’m just deciding to call Poltergust. With it at the ready, it’s time to head by into the mansion and won’t return until I have saved Scootaloo.
Once I re-enter the haunted mansion, there was much more ghost than before with some hanging from the ceiling and some big red ghost fighting each other. My body shaking with fear it was the worst when I met special types of ghost that M.L Raven decide to call “Portrait Ghosts.”
Ghost that should’ve belong in paintings, but now are free and really upset and began attacking. Like the giant pony baby that just cries and screamed at me, or that really creepy hunter dude that wanted my head off my body and hanging on his wall. I like my head where it is!
I really enjoy to trap him into Poltergust; there was some good or nice Portrait Ghost one is Madame Clairvoya. She would let me trap her in the Poltergust, but once I found all of my sister lost items. While looking in the deep dark, spider full basement, looking for some clues on what Scootaloo had lost in this dreadful mansion.
I may have accidently released a enemy from Scootaloo and I’s past; called The Boo’s. They were so proud about making this mansion appear to trap me and my sister and the worst thing it worked! I laughed when I heard that Scootaloo trapped these dorks, but she still missing.
The Boo’s flew all over the mansion; hiding in room from old to new. They must have know something on where my sister whereabouts are, so I started hunting these Boo’s down, soon learning their names.
Here’s a few of their names that made me rub my head in pain. BamBoo, Bootha, GameBoo Advance, PeekaBoo, Kung Boo, Boomeo, Booigi, Little Boo Peep, UnderBoo.
I’m just lucky that this mansion might not be real, but these Bits sure are. Gems like Diamonds and Rubies, this mansion wasn’t that bad anymore, I found this ghost dog that gave me some trouble, until I learn that he just wanted somepony to play with.
Soon letting me trap him, but that when I learn by sister was, I accidently fell into a well. I was fine it wasn’t too deep, that’s when I saw her.
Scootaloo. With her red cap on that head of her’s covering her long purple mane. Then a large version of the Boo’s wearing a gold crown with a purple ruby in it, laughing at Scootaloo while she kept banging her hooves in the painting.
“Scootaloo.” I whisper.
King Boo moved his body looking at where my quiet voice had came from, moving away from the peek hole. King Boo didn’t noticed me and went back at laughing at Scootaloo.
Throughout the whole night, whenever I felt scared or alone, I just cried out “Scootaloo" now she need me more than ever! During the blackout, when lightning struck the mansion, I hunted down the rest of the Boo’s I been missing.
M.L Raven gave me a device that could find hidden Boo’s. I believe it was called; The Game Colt Horror. After I found where those stupid jerks were keeping my sister. While we wore these hats, it was a gift from Princess Luna after we saved the dream world. They boosted our powers and well, I don't know what King Boo wants. But that’s my guess.
Once I imprisoned all the Boo’s and then visit back to M.L Raven Shed, to empty the Poltergust so I could make the stand against King Boo and save Scootaloo even if she a bit of pain.
Opening the quite large door, King Boo stood, well he more floated if you want to be correct. But in terms of a ghost you could say he was standing there, but he got no hooves…. I got off track sorry.
King Boo let out a cackle that filled the room, he flew through the painting making Scootaloo disappear, strong winds began pulling me in, I tried my best to grab onto something, anything. Until I was suck in.
Nothing, but darkness surround me. I currently stood on strange flooring with a pattern of squares, sixteen of them. A electric field surround the area, King Boss floated down laughing then he spoke in his dark voice. Scootaloo’s painting floating next to him.
“Aahh, I could just stare at my Scootaloo painting for hours!"
“It's true what they say about fine art... it takes utterly refined sensibilities to truly appreciate it!"
"The way you plead for help, Scootaloo... I find it so... satisfying. Perhaps that is merely because I remember how much trouble you've caused me in the past."
"... Seriously, though, who would actually believe that mansions get given away in for free without a catch?! Talk about stupid!"
“What do you two eat, gullible soup?”
"Your sister came all this way just to get turned into a painting... It's just terrific. However... This Scootaloo painting looks lonely... I must have a Sweetie Belle painting to go with it! Then my gallery will truly be complete! Bleah HA HA!"
“Please, I know you're afraid of me, King Boo!” I spoke up
"Foolest filly! I'm not afraid of you, I fear only that infernal Poltergust 3000 you carry on your back! That stupid machine!"
"But I am a KING among the Boos! I swear it, I shall fear no mere house-cleaning device or small filly!"
"I must say... I despise the way you SHWEEERRPP-SHLOOOOP-WHOOORPP-SHLEEEOOORG-vacuumed up all my friends!"
"Don't imagine that I'll flee... I'll fight you like a true Boo! Now join your sister... inside a painting… Forever!"
King Boo let out a laugh, he slam against the ground creating a small shock wave that I jump over. I shined my flashlight in King Boo’s eyes blinding him from the spike ball that's about to land on top of him.
I began using the Poltergust to suck him up, until a spike ball tried to hit me. Causing King Boo to get away; then something worst happen. A large Lord Tirek entered lighting up the air with his fire breath.
He soon summon those spike balls within his claws, rolling them at me. I decide to suck one up and fire it at the head, releasing King Boo so he could once again try the shock wave attack.
I lead him to the spot where a spike ball would fall on him, blinding him once again to get hit. This time while trying to suck King Boo up, the head of the robot version of Lord Tirek soon started firing ice at me.
King Boo laugh once he escape the pull from the Poltergust again, entering back into Robot Lord Tirek. He covered most of the ground with fire, leaving one spot safe to stand. Lucky for me, he did a slam move to remove the fire.
Creating the spike balls once again to roll at me, sucking one of them up to fire back at the head releasing King Boo. The Lord Tirek head started to breath fire of above when King Boss slam down creating the shock wave.
The ghost king got hit once again by the spike ball, but this time it was raining fire. Come on, how bad is my luck tonight! Well it’s over now, I finally sucked King Boo into the Poltergust 3000 causing the Lord Tirek head to slam against the ground.
I got out of the painting, bring Scootaloo’s painting back to Professor M.L Raven. After trapping King Boo inside of a portrait to hang on a wall forever. Then M.L Raven put it on reverse for Scootaloo’s painting.
Once Scootaloo was freed from her painting, I rushed over to hug my twin sister, tears running down my eyes. With a smile on my face, happy to see that Scootaloo is safe and me, Sweetie Belle saved had saved my brave twin sister. From a horrible fate
Author's Note
I don't know how I feel about this story, even if I wrote it. Maybe because it too much like Luigi's Mansion, I did like writing it, too bad I couldn't Scootaloo & Sweetie Belle: Dream Team finish this would be a spin off like The Masked Crusader.
This is also a birthday gift/story for my good friend OmniWriter (FIMFiction) who does most of the art work, I use for my stories. Also I was lazy and this was the only story that was finished. I learn about his birthday around two or so weeks before.
When I made Birthday Wish that took like a month or so while Where's My Daddy took like a day. And it shows, I like that story but I was surprise that one. Off track, sorry.
