Equestrian Nights
First Fright of Your First Night
Previous ChapterFluttershy could barely say anything. How could she? What was being shown before her was completely unnatural.
Her hands shaking, the tablet dropped out of her hands. Fluttershy reached down to grab it but when she pulled up CAM 5 again, Bonnie was gone. She frantically flipped through the cameras until she found Bonnie on CAM 3, the supply closet.
That's just down the hall, Fluttershy thought to herself. The poor girl tried to calm herself down but she was beginning to hyperventilate.
While Fluttershy was distracted, Bonnie crept out of the supply closet and slowly walked towards the office, his rusty endoskeleton squeaking and clanking at he moved his joints.
Fluttershy could feel her heart beating in her chest and her breathing getting faster and faster. Calm down, Fluttershy, calm down, she thought to herself. Breathe in and out, in and out.
The girl slowly calmed herself and checked the cameras again to find where Bonnie went.
Where are you now, Bonnie?
Suddenly, Fluttershy heard something coming from the door to her left. It sounded like the zombies from a movie she (reluctantly) watched with Rainbow Dash one time.

When she turned to look at the left door, all she saw were two glowing, white pupils staring directly at her. Her hand shaking, she slowly reached for the button labeled 'Light' and pressed it. In an instant the whole entrance was lit up, revealing Bonnie the Bunny standing there, his head twitching ever so slightly.
"H̶͔̘̠̩̎̈́͌̈́-̶̝̠̳̈͝Ḧ̷͈̜̱́͒̈́͝e̸̠̣̱͉̿̈́̽y̶̦̒!̴͒͗ ̵k̶i̸-̵k̶i̷d̴s̵!̴" Bonnie said in a glitchy voice. "Ẉ̶̓̽ẻ̵̜l̷͔̦͝c̶̲͛̚o̸̢̝͛m̷͔̽͝e̴̺͖͊-̶̝͓̾W̴͔̔é̴̢̥l̸̨̼͆͘c̸͎̀ǫ̴̈m̴̜̝̒e̷̺̊̒-̵͎͚̉̽W̸̢͗é̶̗ͅl̶̘̖̑ĉ̸̟͝o̵̻̜̍̍m̸̺̲͠e̸̼͝ͅ ̵͍̩͂t̶̫͋o̶̝̜̚ ̷̪̆ H̷͍͇̺̰̆̇̓͒̏E̴̢͕̟̟̘̔̏L̵͔̊L̵̜͚̥̉͌͠͝!"
Fluttershy screamed at the top of her lungs and slammed down on the red button labeled 'Door'. A huge metal door slammed down in front of her just before Bonnie was about to lunge at her. Fluttershy covered her face with her hands, almost on the verge of crying. She had almost died. Bonnie was inches away from her face. Her shock was suddenly interrupted by banging on the door.
Despite the metal door in the way, Bonnie was determined to catch his prey.
Fluttershy got out of her chair and started to back away, even closing the right door just in case. Eventually, Bonnie gave up his pursuit and stomped away. After the animatronic left, Fluttershy breathed a sigh of relief.
She sat back down in her chair and stared at her tablet. Bonnie had now moved into the dining room and looked completely nonsentient. It was then that she noticed something in the corner of the tablets screen. It was a small percentage displaying how much power she had left.
Shutting the door had brought her remaining power down to... 76%. Her pupils shrank as she stared at the percentage. In a few minutes, the amount of power had shrunken so fast.
If I run out of power, then I'll be completely defenseless and those things will...
She tried hard noy to think about what those robots would do to her. Fluttershy quickly sat up in her chair and closed her eyes.
Okay, Fluttershy. It's going to be alright. Remember what Rainbow Dash told you whenever you get scared. Just breathe in and out.
Fluttershy did what her mind told her to do and took in deep inhales and exhales of air.
In and out.
She finally calmed down and focused on the task at hand.
It's gonna be alright, Fluttershy. We need to keep watch on the cameras.
"Now, where are you, Bonnie?" Fluttershy asked.
As Fluttershy flipped to CAM 2A, the west hall, she finally found Bonnie, a shadowy figure staring ominously down the hallway.
"There you are, you giant rabbit." Fluttershy muttered.
Fluttershy flipped to the backstage camera to check on the other animatronic performers. Unfortunately, Freddy was the only one there.
Chica had come out to play.
"Now, where's your little friend?" Fluttershy asked.
Fluttershy quickly flipped to CAM 6 when she heard loud noises, similar to the clattering of pots and pans, coming from the kitchen.
Fluttershy quietly giggled to herself. "I guess Chica wanted to grab a midnight snack."
A few hours later...
After hours of defending herself from Bonnie and Chica, Fluttershy was almost home free.
"Alright, almost 6 a.m." Fluttershy said to herself, checking her watch. "Just have to survive for a few more minutes."
As she continued checking her watch, she started to smell something pudrid.
"What's that smell?" Fluttershy said, covering her nose. "It smells like a skunk!"
As she continued smelling the air, she realized it was coming from the east hallway. To get a better view, Fluttershy turned on the light, only to reveal Chica standing there.
The chicken animatronic was pressing against the glass window, staring directly at Fluttershy. She quickly pressed the door button and watched as the big, metal door slammed down.
Chica continued to stare at Fluttershy, never even looking away. Fluttershy looked back at her in absolute terror but as she stared, she noticed something about Chica.
Even though she was looking at the eyes of a robot, it felt more like she was looking at the eyes of one of the animals she cared for at the animal shelter. It sounded crazy. Fluttershy knew it was crazy.
I mean, the phone guy (I'm not sure what his actual name is) did mention something about their servos locking up so they made it so they could walk around at night or something.
Despite her doubts, as she stared at the animatronic, it felt like, somehow, there was a soul in there.
The two continued to stare at each other until...

It was finally 6 a.m. Fluttershy smiled as she looked at her watch. But when she looked back at the window, Chica was gone.
Fluttershy opened up the right door to see where Chica had went, but she was no where to be seen.
Fluttershy quickly gathered up her stuff, put her security outfit into her locker, and left the office. As she was about to leave the restaurant, she looked back at the main stage. The animatronics looked just as they did when she first applied for the job.
If she hadn't been up all night defending against them, then even she wouldn't have believed they could move.
Fluttershy stared at the animatronics one more time before she walked out the door and headed for her car, completely unaware that the animatronics were staring right back at her.
