A Haunted Nursery
Chapter 5: The Note
Previous ChapterDizzy Twister had just come back from a long day of work. Upon entering the house she noticed something different (though not completely out of the ordinary), her daughter Scootaloo was nowhere in sight. She observed the house top to bottom, but there was no sight of her little pegasus daughter. She even entered her daughter's room, which had walls painted in Rainbow Dash's colors, Rainbow Dash merchandise and a few figurines of the Wonderbolts.
Out of everything in her daughter’s room though, there was something that caught Dizzy's attention: A note. She picked it up and began reading it, her face lit up in horror as she did so:
Dear Mom or whoever reads this note,
Sweetie Belle and I have decided to go ghost hunting in the old, abandoned Ponyville nursery. It's not like we'll actually find anything, spirits don't actually exist. What's the worst that could happen to us?
We'll probably be back tomorrow.
Scootaloo
Dizzy dropped the note in horror! She had flashbacks as to when she and one of her friends had gone there. How long did it take her to escape? Exactly two weeks. Now her daughter was likely suffering the same fate. And there was only one thing she could think to do. “I need to get help from my friend!” She exclaimed and left her house, then flew as fast as possible to her friend’s house near Cloudsdale!
Upn reaching her destination, Dizzy furiously knocked on the door repeatedly, not stopping even for a minute! Sure she probably shouldn't be doing this but what else could the worried mother do?
“I'll be right there,” The pony replied. She opened the door, only to be tackled to the ground by her friend Dizzy Twister, “Dizzy Twister? She said in shock, seeing the tears in her friend’s eyes.
“This is no time to talk! We need to go to Twilight’s and get some equipment,” Dizzy frantically exclaimed! “My daughter and Sweetie Belle went to the haunted nursery, Rainbow Dash! They’re in trouble, I just know it!”
Rainbow Dash gasped upon hearing those words, fluttering her unfolded wings she said. “What?! I thought that place got demolished long ago! Are you sure they didn’t just spend the night somewhere and forgot to tell you? I think they’d know better than to go into any place that was haunted.”
Dizzy Twister gave Dash the note as proof. Rainbow Dash read it and shook her head in disbelief. “I can’t believe Scoot would do something so stupid! If that nursery’s still there, Scootaloo’s sure to be back in diapers by now, and that’s if she’s lucky.”
“Let's go to Twilight!” Dizzy firmly vowed! “She should know of some way to get rid of this spirit once and for all! We have to get my daughter back before it’s too late! I don’t wanna have to raise her up from foalhood all over again! You don’t wanna know how long it took for me to get her potty trained! I don’t see how I’d survive doing it all over again!” Her tone of voice conveyed the confidence she had that she and her fellow pegasus could finish this.
“Alright, let’s go!” Rainbow boldly declared! “We’ll shut that nursery down for good no matter what it takes!” And she took off, with Dizzy Twister following close behind.
The two mares flew to Twilight’s castle in no time, and landed at her front door. There, they both knocked on the castle’s doors, only to be greeted by Starlight Glimmer.
“Is something wrong?” Starlight asked a bit nervously. She knew Rainbow Dash, but had never seen the other pegasus before
“We need Twilight's help, it’s urgent!” Both Rainbow and Dizzy screamed in unison, their eyes growing wide!
That caught Starlight off guard, and she nervously looked around before saying. “W-well… that might be a problem. Twilight isn't exactly here you see, she and Spike went to Canterlot to help Princess Luna with something.”
“Great, so now we only have Starlight to help us,” Rainbow Dash groaned, before giving Starlight the note Dizzy had discovered. “Look, this can’t wait. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are in terrible danger! We have to rescue them, now!”
Starlight gasped upon reading the note! “Follow me, and don't tell Twilight about any of this.” She knew exactly what the two pegasis wanted, and so she guided them to a secret room within the castle.The room she took them to had an ID scan. She put her hoof on the scanner and it glowed, opening a door. There, she showed them that what was in were a bunch of mysterious, hi-tech weapons that were mostly used for capturing ghosts.
The two pegasi gasped but knew what this meant! So both Rainbow and Dizzy took the ghost hoofguns, some spectral grenades, and a ghost capturing device.
“Okay, I think we're ready,” Rainbow decided. “And don't worry, Starlight, Dizzy and I promise not to say a word to Twilight. We’ll get Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle back safe and sound! Let’s go, DIzzy!” And the both of them left the castle.
Starlight left her secret room shortly afterward, closing it up then used her magic to make it invisible. Then she thought of something that only now came to her. “Wait, couldn't I have just used my magic to capture the ghost?” She thought, and blushed with the realization. She wanted to stop Rainbow and Dizzy, but they were long gone by now. She had already given them the equipment and weapons. Hopefully, it would be enough. “Well, I hope they succeed,” She thought to herself. “Wonder why I’m only now hearing about this abandoned, haunted nursery.”
