Applejack stood diligently outside the door, checking every now and again to see how it was doing. The first time she looked in, nothing much had changed except that the bathwater was now red. She slammed the door after the Creature’s arm fell off and was sent flying at the door by its skeletal tail.

She checked in a few minutes later, after hearing it explode for the 7th time. She opened the door, and watched in a mixture of horror and amazement as it's bone's tried to pull themselves together. She retreated back to hall when they suddenly snapped to the center of the room, and the Creature resumed its screaming.

After taking a few deep breaths, she opened the door and watched silently as the Creature continued screaming, never stopping for breath. She shut the door when the creature stopped forming and began falling apart.

It's eye's melted in their sockets as the skin around its mouth deteriorated, and it’s jaw fell off. It’s spine tore through it's back, while it’s shoulder blades shot out and shattered against the wall. Just as the door closed, she heard that sickening pop, and she took a deep breath.

"Ah am not letting any of my friends see that." AJ decided as she waited for it to start screaming again. Finally, Starlight came back with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.

"Where are...?" AJ asked

"Friendship mission." Starlight cut in, "I haven't told them what's happening yet but..."

"Oh, my. What in Equestria is that?" Fluttershy demanded, looking to the door as the Creature resumed its wordless scream.

"Are Trixie and Spike having a shout off or something?" Rainbow asked walking over to the door and attempted to knock before AJ stop her.

"I’m sorry Sugarcube, but I can’t let ya’ll see what's happening in there just yet."

"They sound like they're in pain!" Fluttershy interjected trying to get to the door before Starlight cut her off.

"Stop! Okay, I need to tell both of you what happened, but I need you to sit down first."

"Why didn't you explain before hoof!?" AJ asked.

"Rainbow was in a hurry and said she'd only stop if it was really important, but she wouldn't let me explain with her endless guessing!"
"I'll admit that that is impressive." Rainbow said listening to the screaming "How long have they...?" Rainbow and Fluttershy both froze when they heard the crunching, the pop, and the sound of its body parts hitting the walls. "Move it." She said going for the door, "That sounded really bad!"

"Are you two ok!?" Fluttershy asked. Getting no response, Rainbow tackled AJ away from the door.

"What is up with you? They might be..." Rainbow stopped when the piercing scream started back up,. "...no something is really bucking wrong." She decided, "I'm opening this door!"

"Rainbow wait!" Starlight yelled, as Rainbow got to the door. AJ had just enough time to jump to Fluttershy, and cover her face with her hat. Rainbow slammed the door open, and the Creature turned towards the noise, dislocating part of it’s jaw in the process.

Rainbow looked on in horror as it continued to screamed. When the Creature failed to re-attach it’s jaw, it decided it was time to reset. Starlight slammed the door shut with her Magic as it self-destructed, while Fluttershy tried to get out from under AJ's hat. Once she was sure that the door, was closed AJ moved her hat.

"Why in Equestria would you...Rainbow? Rainbow are you alright?" Fluttershy asked as said mare stood frozen, staring at the door. After standing there in silence for a moment, she slowly turned back towards her friends. She tripped over her hooves, and the trio watched her shake on the floor in horror as the screams started again.

"What...the...buck?" she demanded, "What The BUCK!!" She grabbed Starlight and slammed her against the wall, "WHAT DID YOU DO!?"
Sighing, Starlight looked Rainbow dead in the eye, "I forgot to lock the door."

-10 minutes later-

"Poor guys..." Rainbow muttered, standing in front of the door while the Creature screamed on. "I'm no friend of Trixie’s, but she doesn’t deserve something like this! And Spike...sweet Celestia, Spike! Twilight's gonna have a bucking heart attack."

Fluttershy was sitting next to the door, crying silently as she listened to the Creature’s wails. Starlight was in the library trying to find a way to split them apart, and Applejack just stood in silence as she listened to it scream.

"Forgot to lock the door?" Rainbow muttered, turning to AJ, "You were using unstable, untested magic, and you forgot to lock the door!?" She shook her head, "Are you stupid!?"

"Rainbow please," Fluttershy said, "She's already beating herself up over it."
"She should be! She forgot to lock the door! Were you raised in a barn?"

"Don't start that again," AJ said, turning, "We forgot they were here and they started fighting, burst into the room and...and shit happened."

"That's the best you got?" Rainbow said angrily, "Shit happened?"

As Rainbow yelled on, the Creature found itself floating in the tub. Blinking its eyes, it took a look around the room. The sound of Rainbow’s ranting was drowned out by the still running faucet of the tub. Turning towards said faucet, the Creature looked at the water around it. It was red and sticky, all the bubbles having disappeared a while ago.

The floor was covered in water, and the drains around the edges of the room were doing their job as best they could. The Creature looked at the bathwater and tried to penetrate the red goo. Holding up a claw and putting it in the water, it giggled at the feeling of water running over its claw.

The Creature looked in awe as the red was washed off it's claw, and revealed the purple talon beneath. Without thinking, it sheathed it's claw back into its hoof and pulled it out of the water, making a growl of displeasure once it noticed its hoof was red again.

Washing it off again before trying to get out of the tub. Looking down as it tried to climb out of the tub, the Creature found its hoof once again coated in red! Looking around with a growl, it noticed a similar device above it that wasn't surrounded in red. It walked over, and propped itself up while applauding its own intelligence. It heard sounds from one of the walls as it tried to get to the device, but it simply shrugged and turned to the device.

It saw something looking back at it, something terrifying. It had large horns on it’s head, and two fang's protruding from its mouth, and it was covered in crimson. Screaming, it struck the monster with its hoof, smashing it into shards.

As it took a step back, it heard weird noises and one of the walls revealed itself to be alive and angry. As the Creature shrieked in fear, it's horn's started glowing. It felt a sucking force, along with a bright flash, and it found itself sitting waist deep in clear liquid. It squealed in joy and started splashing around, the red disappearing the more it moved.

Fluttershy looked to the door while Rainbow yelled at AJ, something was wrong.

"It stopped." She realized.

"What?" Rainbow asked turning to her.

"There was no pop, and it stopped screaming...maybe it..." Suddenly there was a scream of fear and the sound of breaking glass.

"I'm coming in!" Rainbow yelled, followed by another scream and a flash of green light. Rainbow blinked and looked around. The bathroom was overflowing with bloody water, and the mirror had been shattered, but most importantly…

"It's gone," Applejack said as she and Fluttershy walked into the room, "We gotta get Starlight and find it!"
