Happy Times Circus

"NO! Please! Make them stop hurting me! It keeps talking to me in my head! NOOOO PLEASE!" Pinkie jerked upwards and wailed in distress in front of all of us. She pursued to the front door, pushing us out of the way. She ran on her back hooves covering her eyes as she darted out of town.

"Wait! Pinkie! Dont go!" Dash yelled to her as we all chased after Pinkie Pie. The girls were ten times faster than me. I looked around for a taxi as they left a trail of dust in front of me. I caught one just in time and waved the taxi down. I threw ten bits at the taxi driver, and told him to follow the girls no matter what happens....

I stood up in the roofless taxi, as the taxi kicked behind a dusty trail following the girls. We've pursued after Pinkie Pie. This took us about roughly about a 30 minute chase, as Ponyville vanished from our sights behind us. We trailed nearby Sweet Apple Acres, and traveled on a forgotton road near the Everfree forest. I swore to Fluttershy and her friends, to stay clear of that damned forest...Ever since the events of Unloved, but Pinkie mindlessly ignored my warnings as we trailed right by it.

Thirty minutes dissolved into an hour, as Pinkie ran under a sign from an old abandoned town. Pinkie Pie vanished into the nearby woods, nowhere for her presence to be seen by any of us. The girls stopped and caught their breathe, as I paid the taxi the required bits for the clocked milage. The taxi trailed off behind us in a cloud of dust. All six of us peered into the entrance of an abandoned ghost town.....aged with old row homes and a deathly quiet breeze.

I drifted my head up to the sky....to see a yellow tinted atmosphere and.....Black clouds? The clouds in the sky rushed into one direction, as the wind on the streets of this ghost town carried and tumbled dried up brown leaves. The only sounds emerging from the town....was an ominous breeze from the Everfree forest, and the sounds of old wooden planks, creeking inside the surrounding abandoned houses. We spotted cans of soda that dated back to the 1960's and old weathered newspapers that littered the streets. I picked up one of the newspapers' as the girls all looked over my right shoulder....

God, that was fucking creepy....Who the hell in the right state of mind would end a advertisement like that? But hey, I've seen my fair share of disturbing 50's and 60's ad's back on Earth. Twlight made a announcement to the group.

"Guys....we should go back to Ponyville and warn Celestia about this....I'm getting a bad feeling from this town...." Twilight said while looking at us.

"I agree, I'm not going though all of this bullshit again, just to wake up on a hospital table to find my kidney eaten by some evil freak of nature. Let's head back the road we came....We'll search for Pinkie as soon as dawn breaks tomorrow." I told the group of girls. They nodded in unison, as we attempted to walk the gravel path from which we came from. When.....

We were suddenly blocked by an invisble barrier about 5 yards from the town's entrance. I faceplanted the invisble wall in front of my body, as the girls unexpectingly collided by accident from the back of me. Whatever led us here, wasn't going to allow us to leave....

I was pissed as hell. The girls backed up from the invisible wall, as I picked up an old unopened soda can and threw it in anger at the wall. The soda can collided with force. A flat red cherry colored syrup substance gradually seeped downward on the invisible wall and leaked into the ground. The girls were uneasy, as I feared that we would have no choice...but to go forward into the town, and try to find any evidence of Pinkie Pie's presence.....

"I really do not want to go though this shit again....but I'll do it for you girls......" I said to the group as my head lowered to the ground. "But by all means, we will remain glued together within our group. No one leaves without my permission, you got that?" I commanded to the group.

"Yes, darling, just like last time....." Rarity spoke for the group.

"Alight then, now be extremely careful. We are not armed.... We will search the houses, going from right to left, sweeping any rooms for clues of Pinkie Pie....where ever she may be located...." I paused for a moment, as thoughts in my mind were in disbelief. The girls and I had to relive though all of this shit, all over again....I turned back to the group.

"Ok, let's go...."
