A Demon's Deal

Twilight stared in disbelief at what she saw in the room she had just entered. The room was upside down and empty. The door seemed to be a dangerous height away from either the ceiling or the floor. There was a large table on what is now the ceiling that seemed to stretch on for miles. The part of the table that Twilight could see reminded her of the big board meeting tables that she saw in the movies. The chairs around the table were missing and instead replaced with statues of ponies made out of what looked like rainbow marble. They were wearing smeared make-up and ridiculous get ups. The walls were flashing different colors and the ceiling, which was now the floor, seemed to made of ice.

“Umm... Twilight tell me you are seeing this.” Rainbow's jaw was almost hitting the floor and her eyes were wide open trying to comprehend all the things she was witnessing at once.

Twilight looked on into the room trying to find the end of it. “I was really hoping that I was going crazy.” Twilight could not bring herself to believe that what she was seeing was real. “I am sure that this is some sort of magic illusion.” Twilight's horn went alight and she tensed her body pointing her horn towards the room. “There all better.” Twilight was sure her magic would dissipate whatever illusion had been created. She looked up with a confident smile only to have her heart drop. I have been bested?, Twilight thought in confusion, Whoever did this is quite the unicorn.

“Why didn't it work?” Rainbow questioned Twilight. “I thought you were really good at this kind of stuff.” Rainbow stuck her hoof into the room but nothing seemed to change. “I think its real....” Rainbow took a step back and stared at the upside down room.

Twilight stuck her hoof in the room and wiggled it around. “It.... it is real that is for sure.” Twilight reached over and tapped the wall. When she touched the wall it flashed a blinding white causing Twilight to lose her balance in surprise. “RAINBOW STOP ME”, Twilight yelled looking back at Rainbow in despair.

Rainbow was at Twilight's side in no time grabbing her friend by the mane in her haste pulling back as hard as she could. “Don't worry Twilight I got you.” Twilight let out an ear shattering scream as they both fell safely back on the floor. “What did you do Twi? You coulda caused us both to fall right in!” Rainbow gave a scorning look at Twilight but it soon faded. “Are you okay?”

Twilight eyes had watered up, “You... pulled... my.... MANE! You couldn't have grabbed something ELSE!” Twilight stared at Rainbow with enraged eyes but her eyes quickly changed to gratitude. “Thanks for stopping me Rainbow... even if you did it by my mane.” Twilight hugged Rainbow in thanks and then turned back towards the room. “So... do we go in?”

“WHAT! I just saved you from it and you wanna go back!?” Rainbow was a little agitated by Twilight's curiosity. “We don't even know if its real or not.”

“I felt the wall and it was definitely solid. What ever all of that is, it is no illusion.” Twilight scratched her head. “What could have done all of this? This is... this isn't normal.”

As if on command a wind blew out of the room and past the ponies. The gentle breeze causing Twilight's and Rainbow's hair to ripple. It carried seemed to carry a smooth voice with it. Come, come inside, The voice whispered into the mares ears, all of your questions will be answered.

Rainbow looked at Twilight and shook her head. “I think we should just turn around, maybe somebody else knows what is going on.” Rainbow turned around an started walking away.

“You are right Rainbow, I think we need some help on this one.” Twilight followed Rainbow towards the door they had entered through.

With a thunderous boom a tornado like gust of wind bust out of the room carrying a familiar voice with it. Leaving so soon my little ponies, the wind spoke to them, don't be so rude. The wind circled the two ponies raising them into the air. Come on in the weathers FINE! The girls screamed as the wind dragged the ponies roughly through the open doorway. The door slammed shut as they smashed into the oversized meeting table, jarring the girls vision for a few seconds.

After shaking the stars that seemed to be swirling around her head Rainbow looked around the room they were now stuck in. The door that they had been throw through seemed hundreds of feet off the ground, or what at least what Rainbow believed to be the ground. Rainbow attempted to fly out of the room thinking it would be easy. After about five minutes of strait flying she noticed she came no closer to the ever distant door. She flew back to the table they had landed, “Hey Twilight....”, Rainbow noticed Twilight was still in a daze from the fall so she shook her conscious, “Twilight, is it just me, or this table we are sitting on seems much... bigger than before?”

Twilight looked at the table which seemed no less than 30 feet wide. The chairs around the table had also grown, but the statues sitting in them seemed to stay the same size. “No Rainbow... your right the table has definitely grown.” Twilight stood up and looked around the room. Everything in the room seemed to have grown except the statues, her, and Rainbow Dash. “Rainbow, was their other exits to this room?”

“Yes there was it was on the opposite side of.... the.... room.” Rainbow's words petered out as she went. “Were is the other side of the room!” Rainbow yelled in annoyance as she looked to were the wall should have been, just a few yards away. Instead the wall was no were to be seen. The room seemed to go on forever. The table and the walls just seemed to go on forever and ever but there were chairs all along the table and they all had different statues. “UUGGHH! I just wanna smash something!” In her frustration Rainbow ran to the nearest statue and smashed its it head off. The head fell onto the table leaving a clear crack in the wood were it landed.

“Rainbow what are you thinking!” Twilight yelled as she looked at the now headless statue. “You have no idea what that could have done!” Twilight walked over to the head and using her magic she put all the pieces were suppose to be and fixed it good as new. “This place is foreign to us and anything could do anything I mean the door just forced us in here when we opened it and didn't enter.” Rainbow looked at Twilight with a slight confused look. Twilight thought for a second and clapped her hoofs together, “Here think of this. If we opened the door and it forced us in, what do you think a statue will do if we break it?”

“Nothing apparently.” Rainbow sneered as she punched the statue. “See look its not like its alive. Its a statue a plain old statue... in a dress that even I would call tacky. In fact there all plain statues of ponies and griffons.”

Twilight walked over to the statue next to Rainbow and stared at it. “Hey Rainbow look.” Twilight pointed at the statue she was staring at. “Isn't this Grannie Smith?”

Rainbow looked over the statue. “Wow! Your right. Its really good too. It looks just like her, I guess I didn't recognize her without her walker.... and that stripped suit she is wearing.”

“Who would make a statue of Grannie Smith?” Twilight pondered. “And what is with this suit?” Twilight looked around at the other statues in shock. “Twist... Bon-bon.... Lyra.... Mr. and Mrs. Cake... and the Wonderbolts?” Twilight looked at Rainbow completely dumbfounded. “Who would make statues of all of them? There are even more in the other seats, and they just keep going on and on like the table. Why?”

Rainbow looked straight at the Wonderbolt statues with glee. “Well of course someone would make statues of the Wonderbolts Their AWSOME!!!” Rainbow dashed over to the statues and stared at them in awe. “They are beautiful.” Rainbow eyes began to tear up in happiness.

“Rainbow I know you think that those statues are great and all but this is getting a bit... creepy.” Twilight stood up and pointed to the seemingly endless table. “You said there was an exit over there. So its is our best chance to get out of here. We should get moving.” Twilight started to move but Rainbow seemed her no mind. “Come on you,” Twilight said as she grabbed Rainbow and dragged her.

“Come on a few more minuets please Twi.” Rainbow pleaded. After no response Rainbow stood up and walked with Twilight. “Buzz kill.”
