When Vanilla Orchid entered the pizzeria's security room, she dropped her saddlebags in the corner of the office and sat down in front of the desk with a small computer on it. Vanilla Orchid was a black pegasus with a blue mane, and she had an orchid as a cutie mark, because her favorite flower was the orchid, she was glad to be somewhat named after the flower.
When she sat down, the phone started ringing and she picked it up. When she did so, a high pitched voice came forth from the phone.
"Hello. Hi, I just want to tell you that Pinkie and her friends can get a little active but..." the voice continued until vanilla put the phone down and started her shift as a nightguard. She obviously didn't want to hear the voice on the other side of the phone.
"That is absurd. I don't think I'll listen to that, that voice can get super irritating!" She complained.
Meanwhile, on the stage of the pizzeria, three pony animatronics stood there, when the yellow Pegasus named Fluttershy came around, she said, “Twilight, Pinkie, wake up! it's time to get ready!”
Then the others came to life.
“Midnight already Fluttershy?” Asked the pink earth pony Pinkie Pie.
“Hey you know what this means, it’s time to play!" said the purple alicorn Twilight Sparkle.
“Oh hey, I heard that they hired a new pony” Pinkie recalled.
“Oh right! And it’s her first day!” Twilight said, remembering that she had seen a mare walk out of the building with a uniform. She had wondered if that pony was new.
Meanwhile, in the office, Vanilla Orchid was setting up a camera to record for her PonyTube channel (not like my mother has one in real life) and trotted back over to the desk to continue. When she got back to the desk she picked up the computer used for the cameras and other trinkets that she needed to use, then she saw Fluttershy move a little.
Did one of them just move? she thought to herself, then facehoofed herself. Ugh, come on Vanilla! Don’t be dumb! Look, they are standing all the same! then she notices Twilight look over to the camera Except for one. Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Is Twilight really looking at me? Then the computer screen went to black static and she was very confused.
Meanwhile with the animatronics, Twilight had accidentally knocked over the stage security camera.
"Twilight!" Fluttershy said.
"Oops sorry. Here I'll fix it."
When Twilight fixed the camera and put it back in its proper place, they all heard screaming.
While Vanilla was trying to figure out what was going on with the computer, the screen all of a sudden came back and Twilight was very close to the camera, making Vanilla scream.
"What is that sound?" Twilight asked the others.
"I think it's screaming," Fluttershy replied.
"Everything is very strange so far," Pinkie exclaimed
"I think we should say hi, she seems a bit jumpy?" Twilight asked, and the other animatronics nodded.
Then the animatronics started for the security office where a now panicking Vanilla Orchid sat trying to figure out how to switch from camera to camera.
I don't know what will happen to me. Will they eat me? Or will they stuff me into a Pinkie Pie suit? I need to shut the door and turn on the light! Vanilla was thinking franticly about what will happen and what to do to survive this night.
Once the animatronic ponies reached the entrance to the security room, the door was shut, so Pinkie peeked her head through the window and saw a panicked Vanilla Orchid looking at her with fear.
"Hi there, are you alright?" she asked through the window.
"S-stay away! Just leave me be!" Vanilla pleaded to the pink pony animatronic.
"Oh, don't be scared, it's only Pinkie!"
Then Pinkie got down from the window to face her friends.
"Maybe we should leave her a note to show that we care," Fluttershy suggested.
They both agreed and quickly drew the note and slid it under the door. Vanilla grabbed the note in her wing and read it over, then screamed once again.
The note had something drawn on it and with the words "it's me" over the drawn figure.
"Oh no, I think she's in trouble!" Fluttershy said, worried. Then she went to the curtain with a sign that said out of order written in black. "Rainbow Dash are you there!?"
Then a blue animatronic with a rainbow mane and an eyepatch over one of her eyes peaked out from behind the curtain. "Yes I'm here, what do you want Fluttershy?"
"The new pony is trapped inside the security room! We need you to save her!"
"Ugh, fine." Rainbow Dash stepped out fully from the curtain to reveal her full self. She had a hook on one of her front hooves, she was also a pegasus and it looked like she was in horrible shape. She had been out of order for over 2 months now and the employees have been working on a broken part that hasn't been found yet.
Both pegasi galloped over to the security room with a worried Pinkie and Twilight. Rainbow started to buck the door with all her force and caused Vanilla to start to panic even more.
"Why are they bucking down the door!?" She asked out loud.
"We are coming to save you!" Pinkie said through the window once again.
"Ugh, it's too strong, I'll have to use the vents," Rainbow grunted, then ran off to find a vent that leads to the security room.
"Dashie's coming to save you!" Pinkie said through the window a third time.
Is something in the vent? I hear metal clanking in the walls! Vanilla thought to herself, then she caught a very foul smell and covered her nose "Why does it smell like blood and mucus? It smells horrible!"
"Oh, that would be our natural scent," Twilight said.
"Hey!!!!!!!" Pinkie shouted at Twilight, her answer to Vanilla's question clearly offended Pinkie.
I need something to hide from that robot, maybe a mask, no a head! Then she started to quickly sculpt a spare head to disguise herself from Rainbow who was almost through the vent.
"Hey Fluttershy go check the kitchen camera, I think it's dead." Pinkie said, then Fluttershy galloped into the kitchen to check the camera Pinkie mentioned.
Immediately after Fluttershy left for the kitchen, Vanilla was done with the head and had put it on.
Alright, I cannot blink, I cannot breathe, and I cannot move. Please Rainbow Dash just leave me alone. She thought, then Rainbow came bursting through the vent exit and looked around for Vanilla, but instead found a white and pink version of herself, but no security pony. Rainbow then fully got out to examine her recolored self for any clues to the security pony's disappearance, even though she was right in front of her. While Rainbow was examining, there was a loud crash coming from the computer, it was on the kitchen camera, and it was just really more black static with something at the top of the screen saying "-camera disabled- audio-only." then a voice came from the certain camera.
"Oof, you were right Pinkie, the kitchen camera is disabled! Ow."
Almost immediately, Vanilla started to shove Dash back into the vent.
When Rainbow was fully back inside, Vanilla shut the vent and ran over to the computer, and pushed a key to seal all the vents so Rainbow would not get back into the office. Then alarms started to sound.
"What is she doing?" Pinkie asked Twilight.
"She is sealing the air vents!"
"NEW PONY DON'T, YOU NEED FRESH AIR!!!!!!" pinkie shouted through the window.
"Wow, I am feeling really weird, it is a good thing I don't feel..." She was cut off when a scary figure jumped into her vision though it was only in her mind, then she finished her sentence, "SCARED!!!!"
Then another alarm started sounding.
"Oh no!" Twilight shouted over the alarms.
"The new pony forgot to wind the music box!" Fluttershy said as she returned to the door.
Vanilla had recovered from the lack of fresh air and noticed that the computer screen had an attention sign, so she ran over confused and scared.
"Wait, what the hay do I need a music box for?" she asked out loud.
"To keep Rarity sleeping, why did you wake me, darling!"
A puppet-like object appeared next to Vanilla. It had a purple curly mane and it had no eyes, it also had an odd-looking outfit on. Seeing this made Vanilla scream for the third time since she had walked into the building.
Then, a third alarm started to go off, signaling that the building power was low.
"The new pony's using too much power!" Fluttershy shouted.
"New pony you must open the door! You're going to run out of power!" Twilight shouted through the window.
Vanilla couldn't hear Twilight's cry, she had now hidden under the office desk to hide from everything around her.
"Get away from me!" she shouted at Rarity.
Then the power fully went out causing her to scream the loudest she had ever since she first entered the pizzeria. While she was screaming, the animatronics started talking.
"Oh, she must be scared of the dark." Pinkie thought out loud.
"Maybe she'll cheer up if you sing her your song Pinkie," Fluttershy suggested, Pinkie thought that was a great idea and started to head towards the now open door ready to cheer up Vanilla.
Meanwhile, Vanilla was finished with her screaming with a flashlight in her hooves. "I want this shift to be over so I can go home." She said out loud.
Then another light turned on to reveal Pinkie ready to sing.
"My name is Pinkie Pie, hello, and I am here to say 'how you doing' I'm gonna make you smile and will brighten up your day!" Pinkie sang to the terrified Vanilla and she was muttering "go away" under her breath. When Pinkie had finished singing, Vanilla yelled at Pinkie. "Your singing sucks!"
"Wow, we got a tough crowd," Twilight said, putting her hoof on the back of her neck.
"It's not working! Come on everypony, sing along!" Pinkie called out to the other pony animatronics and started to sing once again. Once Pinkie began to sing again, the others joined in one by one.
"Come on everypony, smile smile smile, fill my heart up with sunshine sunshine. All I really need is a smile smile smile, from these happy friends of mine..."
"Uh oh. Everypony! Get to your places now!" Pinkie suddenly said out loud to the other animatronics and they all raced out the door. Leaving behind a terrified Vanilla still under the office table, unaware that the robots have left.
Suddenly, a hoof came down on her shoulder and she looked up, she didn't see a pony animatronic, but a full pony figure with a purple hood over its head.
"Purple mare!" Vanilla shouted seconds before the figure removed her hood to reveal her face.
"Hey, I'm Starlight Glimmer." The figure stated her name. She had a light purple coat with a darker purple mane with a light green stripe running down it.
"Are you going to kill me?" Vanilla asked still thinking she was still in danger when she never was in the first place.
Starlight was confused why Vanilla asked that question, so she answered, "No, I'm here for the morning shift, it's not like I'm some sort of murderer."
"Wait, morning shift?" Vanilla asked then started to get out from under the desk to look at the time. "It's 6 am, I lived, I lived!!!!!!!!" Vanilla exclaimed with relief now in her voice.
She quickly went to hug Starlight tightly.
"Yep, you did," Starlight said to Vanilla, returning the hug. "By the way, why are you getting so many hours?"
"What are you talking about?" Vanilla asked.
"You're scheduled four more nights this week!"
"What?" Vanilla asked for a second time, fear once again in her voice.
Vanilla was at home, pacing around on whether the events of last night were real. When she came to the conclusion that it was, she had an idea. She would bring all the weapons she owned to her shift the next night. So she gathered all her knives, guns, and other weapons she could find and put them all in a bag, and when she was satisfied, she zipped it up and prepared for another night at pinkie's.
at night...
Vanilla left her house at about 11:30 pm in order to get her bag of certain weapons to the pizzeria in time for her shift to begin.
Luckily, she made it just in time as the time struck 12:00 am as she entered the security room, she set down the bag and wiped the sweat off her brow, then went to the office desk and closed the security computer and set it on the edge of the desk. She went back to her bag and emptied its contents on the desk. Once all the weapons were out of the bag, she put the bag at the corner where she put her saddlebags the night before.
"You can come at me if you all would like, but I've got things to protect myself this time!" vanilla shouted out the door to the animatronics.
Meanwhile, pinkie had entered the office undetected while vanilla was loading the guns she brought.
oh no, I need to warm the others. she thought to herself, then tried to sneak her way out of the office without being caught by vanilla. She successfully made it out and galloped to the others to wake them up and warn them of the stuff that vanilla brought.
"Fluttershy, twilight, dashie, wake up!"
"What is it pinkie, you sound scared, is the security pony trapped again?" Fluttershy asked once she was fully powered.
"No Fluttershy, it's worse."
"How bad is it?" twilight asked.
"She's got weapons. Knives, guns, you name it. And she's planning on using them on us!"
"You're joking pinkie, are you?" dash retorted through the curtain of her stage.
"I'm not dashie!"
"Well we'll go see for ourselves, come on girls," Twilight said, and the others all got off of their stages and made their way to the security room.
Meanwhile, with vanilla orchid, she had finished preparing and loading her guns and wielding a gun that she thought was the best one that she brought to her shift.
The other animatronics were scared once they saw that Pinkie was right and started to hide in certain areas. Fluttershy hid in the balloon window in the office and twilight hid behind a few crates in the hall, dash just flew up to the ceiling.
"I know I saw you rainbow dash, now come and get a bite." vanilla was tempting dash to fall into her trap, but rainbow knew better.
When a figure came into view, vanilla pulled the trigger on the gun she was holding and hit her target. When she was finished firing, the figure fell to the ground and vanilla realized what she had just done, the figure she shot was not an animatronic, but a real pony, working overtime cleaning the pizzeria.
"You're not rainbow dash, what have I done."
later...
"No, no, you guys don't understand!" vanilla argued with the royal guards who were trying to arrest vanilla for the crime she 'committed'.
"Oh we understand fully," one guard said and put vanilla inside a transport.
The animatronics were watching all the events outside the pizzeria, vanilla being arrested, the shot pony getting put into an ambulance, and the rest of the guards talking.
"This is how we lose more security guards." Fluttershy whimpered.
A few minutes later, two guards were coming back to the transport they had put vanilla in, to find that the door was wide open.
"We forgot to lock her in, darn it!" one guard exclaimed.
"*sigh* the princess is going to be so mad." the other said.
"I won't tell if you don't, got it."
"Yep."
Meanwhile, Vanilla had returned home to get away from the guards. She hastily locked her door and ran to the bathroom to disguise herself. When she was done, she had added red stripes along her coat and wings, she looked like a completely different pony, and that's the way she wanted it to be.
Rainbow Sparkle was just heading home after reading the ponyville chronicle about the events of the night before. She was a hot pink pegasus with a yellow and purple mane with slight curls, and her cutie mark had two speakers with a microphone, which represented her talent for singing. When she got home, her phone started ringing. She hit play without picking it up and a high-pitched voice came forth.
"Hey uh, I know we haven't met in a while, but there has been an accident here at pinkie fazpie's and we don't have a security guard for the night shift..."
While the call continued, Rainbow Sparkle was having memories of when she first worked there seven years ago, but she quit when one of the older animatronic ponies named applejack accidentally bit a filly's head and the foal was killed, and she hasn't been back ever since. Feeling like she had enough of the memories, she picked up the phone.
"Oh uh, hello?" the voice from the other side said, surprised.
"Hey uh, is the uniform still the same?"
"Oh yeah, they are, your uniform will arrive in only a few minutes."
"Thank you."
Then she hung up the phone and prepared for her first day back at the pizzeria after seven years.
at night...
Rainbow Sparkle had put on her new uniform and started flying towards the pizzeria, she was ready to see all the changes have been made to the pizzeria since she quit.
When she landed, she opened the door to see that there was many more animatronics on stage, otherwise, everything was the same. She went into the security room to take vanilla orchid's place as security guard.
a few minutes later...
Fluttershy and pinkie just activated, ready to see the new pony that replaced the old one, but they looked around them to find that twilight was missing.
"Pinkie, where is twilight?" Fluttershy asked.
"I haven't seen her anywhere."
"We need to find her."
Then they started shouting twilight's name all around the building until they found her in the backstage.
"Oh twilight, we were looking everywhere for you." Fluttershy sighed in relief.
"Oh, hey guys, I just happened to find a strange crate that's as big as me." twilight pointed in the direction where this crate was.
"Maybe there are some party favors in there!" pinkie exclaimed.
"Or pizza!" twilight added.
"Or cute little animals." Fluttershy also added, and she got looks from the others. "What? You know me with animals."
RS was starting to fall asleep but instantly woke up when the phone started ringing underneath all the papers on the desk.
"Oh come on, where is the phone under all of these?" she exclaimed. Then accidentally put a hoof on a cupcake that was placed on the shelf over the desk.
"Wait a minute, why do they keep a cupcake on the shelf? That is creepy." then wiped it off on a drawing made by one of the foals that visited here a few days ago.
"I don't think we should open it," Fluttershy said, she started to walk away and pinkie did the same.
"Why not guys?" twilight asked, and ran over to her friends.
"Well it could be dangerous, so it could be bad for the pizzeria!" pinkie answered.
"Ok, I'll close it back up," she said, disappointed. She walked back over to the crate.
"Ok now, how did I open I... Uh oh." she was retracing her steps on how she got the crate to the way she had left it, but when she got back to the crate, it was wide open, though she remembered it being closed.
"AHHH!!!"
RS was having trouble with the cameras but managed to put up the backstage camera, watching twilight being taken by some unknown creature, then there was a scream.
what just happened, the scream happened just when my screen went black. What the hay is going on? she thought to herself.
"Twilight, what is taking so long!" Fluttershy asked as she walked in with pinkie.
"I think it took her instead!" pinkie said as she saw the big opening in the crate.
"Oh no, what should we do, I'm good at panicked screaming."
"I think we should look for clues. Fluttershy, check the kitchen."
"Got it."
While Fluttershy was heading towards the kitchen, rainbow dash had fully powered. She heard the sound of hoofsteps running towards the kitchen while dash was still waking up. She peeked out of her curtain and just happened to miss the pony that the hoofsteps came from, instead, she noticed the kitchen door completely close, then nothing else.
"What was that for?" she asked herself to no-one in particular.
"You'll find out soon enough." a voice from behind said, causing dash to flinch a little and move into a protective stance.
"Who's there!?" she called out, determination in her voice.
"I'm sunset shimmer, I've been sent here for specific reasons. Reasons that you don't need to know about." the voice stated her name and pounced out of the dark, towards dash.
"Oh no you don't!" dash said, before taking off into the air with her wings, despite being an animatronic.
Sunset just missed dash and flew out of the curtain. Dash was looking for a vent of sorts that she could hide in. Luckily, she found a vent and started to crawl inside.
When sunset had fully recovered from the pounce, she bolted back inside the curtain to try again, but dash had already been inside of the vent and safe from her. She growled then started for the kitchen.
RS was trying to get the screen on her computer fixed while on the kitchen camera. She knew that camera had been broken in the past, and she thought they had fixed it. Then she heard a faint scream coming from the audio that the camera produced.
Fluttershy was trying to find twilight in the kitchen like pinkie had told her to when something attacked her from behind. She screamed a very faint one, but that didn't mind sunset at all.
"Get off me!" she cried, trying to get sunset's hooves off herself.
Eventually, she managed to push sunset off and ran for the door.
When sunset got up, she had sensed that pinkie was going to see if rainbow had seen twilight anywhere, so she quickly ran out the kitchen door, and back towards dash's curtain to hide until pinkie arrived.
"Dashie, I need your help!" pinkie called, "Twilight has disappeared! I need you to help me find her before it turns 6 am!"
Then, someone poked her head out of the curtain, though it wasn't dash, it was sunset. Pinkie instantly knew who it was.
"SUNSET SHIMMER!!!!" she screamed, and started to run away from sunset, and managed to get away.
Then sunset thought that there was someone in the security office, so she started towards RS.
Meanwhile, RS was searching through the cameras until she found something strange in camera 2B, which was right outside her door. She stopped flipping through the cameras, to get a better look. Then she was very confused.
"Twilight!?" she exclaimed out loud. "What is twilight doing there, and why is she tied up?" then she heard a siren start to go off, "why is there a siren going off?"
Fluttershy had decided to check on the music box that rarity rested at. When she got there, she realized that rarity was getting out.
oh dear... she thought to herself.
"why is there a siren going off?" a voice said. It sounded like RS, so Fluttershy decided to answer the question asked.
"It's because the music box stopped!"
RS was switching through the cameras again until she stopped on the music box cam to find Fluttershy answering her question about the siren.
"it's because the music box stopped!" Fluttershy cried.
"Fluttershy, how did you hear my question?"
"no time to answer that, she's coming for you!" she said, noticing sunset running towards the security office off camera.
"It's a good thing that these doors can be locked so she wouldn't be able to get in," RS said, flying over to the door and pushing the button to close and lock the door, but was not able to due to the door being disabled.
"Well that is weird, usually that only happens when one of them is just...AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" while she was talking to herself, a sudden pop made her mane and tail stand on end, making her fall over too her flank.
Sunset had hidden in the balloon window in the office and disabled the door so she could enter easily.
Pinkie was hiding from sunset even though she knew she had outrun her the first time, then she heard a scream coming from the security office.
the new pony might be in trouble. she thought. time to save her.
Then she went over to the pile of boxes in the backstage and searched for her superhero costume. When she found it, she put it on and started to run for the security office.
Rainbow dash was getting bored of hiding in the vent.
"Ugh, can this night be over with already, I'm getting bored h..." then she heard a scream coming from the security office. "That might be the new security pony, maybe sunset shimmer got to her."
She thought long and hard about what to do to help RS get out of the situation she was in, then an idea came to mind.
"Maybe I can go through the vent to the other side since this leads to the security office," she stated her thought out loud, but nobody heard her. Then she started to crawl through the vent.
Meanwhile, RS was struggling with sunset to stay off her.
"No, no, please, I haven't reached 100 subscribers on my youtube channel yet!" she pleaded to sunset.
"Hm, does it look like I care?" sunset stated, standing over RS.
"Don't worry, I'll save you!" pinkie came running into the office towards sunset to stun her, but sunset was smarter, she hit pinkie I the head and she went flying to the other side of the room.
"Ow, I changed my mind, RUN AWAY!" pinkie exclaimed.
RS had escaped sunsets grasp while she was dealing with pinkie, and flew up to the ceiling to protect herself.
"She needs to be stopped!" Fluttershy said from the music box camera.
"She is way too destructive to still be here!" pinkie said getting up and taking off her outfit.
"Hmphmphmphmph!" twilight tried to speak through the cloth over her mouth but was unable to.
"What did she say?" Fluttershy said, now at the security door.
"I think she said to look out for the fan!" pinkie warned RS.
"Got it!" RS stated while flying all around the room staying close to the ceiling.
"Look!" Fluttershy noticed something coming through the hallway.
"I heard your cries darlings, what's wrong?" rarity was coming down the hall to see what was causing her friends trouble.
"It's sunset shimmer!" pinkie answered.
"That ruffian, well I'll deal with her at once."
Rarity used her magic to trap sunset in a field of magic. It worked successfully and trapped her inside. RS landed and rainbow came through the vent.
"I'm here. What's wr...darn it!" rainbow had realized rarity had already done the work.
"Maybe you can go untie twilight, I know those ropes can't be good for the gears," RS suggested, she didn't want dash to feel left out.
"Got it." dash said before going to help twilight.
"Also, why were you in that vent in the first place?" pinkie asked.
"I hid in there when sunset tried to attack me." dash answered.
"That's terrible!" RS stated, "glad you escaped."
"I think I'm going to need more help darlings, I can't hold her forever." rarity warned.
"Well, where are we going to find someone else to help?" Fluttershy asked.
"I know!" Twilight said, dash had helped get all the ropes off of twilight and remembered a feisty pony.
“Do you know where she or he lives?” RS asked twilight.
Twilight filled the group in on what she knew, then started to set course for the pony’s house.
in the evening, a few hours before RS' shift began...
Starlight glimmer was cleaning up the office from the night before. She hummed to her favorite song when she heard the phone ring, so she went over and pressed the play button.
"Hello, it's purple mare!"
"Hey it's rainbow sparkle, I'm going to be late for work but don't worry I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Ok. Also, have you seen any of the animatronics lately? None of them were here and I checked everywhere."
"Uh, nope not at all. That is very strange."
"Maybe they went outside to find some pony." another voice from the phone said, making starlight look in confusion.
"Shhhhhh you are going to blow our cover twilight," a third voice said.
"Did you say something?" starlight asked.
"No, nothing at all," RS said, a bead of sweat running down her face.
"Why?"
"Maybe you're hearing voices?" a fourth voice added.
"Or the pizzeria is haunted." a voice from before said.
"And the souls of the undead foals are speaking to you"
"Shut up." another voice from before came forth.
"Shhh," RS said to the voices before continuing, "I meant to ask if you happened to have found a yellow unicorn tied up in the closet, can you please not tell any pony about it?"
"You mean this animatronic? Found it earlier while looking for the others. And it smells terrible" starlight stated, moving towards sunset.
When starlight mentioned that she found sunset, RS and the animatronics stopped in their tracks. They were heading over to the house of the pony that twilight had mentioned the night before.
"I don't think you should touch that," RS stated in a slightly worried tone.
"It's fine, it looks like some pony burned its wiring almost about 10 years ago." starlight said, examining the animatronic pony slightly.
"Ok. Just, make sure you are out of the pizzeria by midnight tonight, got it."
"Copy that." After that, starlight hung up the phone and sat down in the office chair with a sigh.
"Actually, on the other hoof, a little bit of overtime won't hurt, I'll go ask the manager"
in the night...
RS and the other animatronics had arrived at the house and started to come up with a plan.
"What about sunset?" Pinkie asked.
"*gasp* what if she escapes out into the streets of the town?" Fluttershy wondered aloud.
"Pshhh, like that'll ever happen" dash retorted.
"Hey, hey, how about this," the robots leaned in closer to hear what RS had to say. "You guys go inside and get her, I'll handle sunset shimmer."
The animatronics agreed and started for the front door of the house. RS pulled out a computer and the screen came up with a camera that was very close to the floor of the pizzeria, hidden behind the security desk.
"Alright little buddy, let's keep sunset distracted." she pushed some arrows on the keyboard of the computer and the camera started to move.
Meanwhile, at the pizzeria, a small dragon-like animatronic appeared out from behind the security desk and started for the door, he had a balloon in one of his claws. His name was spike, and RS was controlling him from the house.
While RS was setting up the distraction, the animatronics had entered the house and whispering to each other on how to convince this pony that they need her help. It was a coincidence that pony was vanilla orchid.
When the robots entered, vanilla was lying in her bed when a loud thud was heard. She got up immediately and grabbed a flashlight with her wing and peeked around the corner. At first, she didn't see anything when suddenly, dash scared her by jumping out from the ground. Vanilla screamed and accidentally kicked dash in the face while trying to run back to her room. Dash grunted upon impact and that alerted the others.
"Rainbow! Are you ok?" Fluttershy had run over to dash while pinkie and twilight did the same.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just a small headache," she replied.
Meanwhile, vanilla had hidden behind a wall so the animatronics would not be able to see her while they were making sure dash was fine.
is it true? she asked herself in her mind. are they back to haunt me again?
"Ok, one mistake is what it will take to make this go wrong, I need to stay focused." RS was looking for sunset when she found her at rarity's box. "Great, now will you follow me?"
She pushed a key making spike say something, making sunset alerted that she wasn't alone.
"Well well well, what do we have here?" sunset asked no-one in particular. "I'll get you!"
Sunset charged at spike, and RS started to push another key to make spike move away.
Meanwhile, vanilla orchid was still hidden behind the wall.
no pony is there, good. Now I just need to return to my...
"Hello? Is somepony there?" pinkie called, interrupting vanilla's thoughts.
why is that pink thing down the hall, I need to hurry. vanilla said in her head once again.
She got up and started for the door to her room when she suddenly saw a rainbow overhead speed into her room. She thought it was very odd at first, but she shrugged it off and ran to the door of her room and hid behind it.
"Somepony is there," she whispered.
"Hello!" Fluttershy shouted as she sprung from the floor, making vanilla scream again and shut the door in Fluttershy's face.
"Well, ok then good talk." Fluttershy said a few seconds after vanilla shut the door.
"Is everything going fine?" twilight asked while she and pinkie ran over to where Fluttershy was standing.
Sunset had lost spike for the moment when RS rounded two corners in time for sunset to lose spike. While sunset was scouting the area, RS had made spike go into dash's curtain and be very silent.
"Ok, now I need to fill the silence with some noise so she can try to track me down," RS stated out loud, then pushed a key to make spike say something.
The noise had alerted sunset and she went over to the curtain and pushed them away, only to find nothing behind it.
"Huh? I swear, I heard something behind here!" sunset exclaimed in confusion and anger.
What happened was when RS made spike speak, she had immediately pushed another key to move him out from behind the curtain from the side, and he successfully made it out without being noticed.
"Wait," pinkie said, noticing dash wasn't with them. "Where is dashie?"
"She's in there," Fluttershy said, pointing to the closed door in front of the three.
"just go away!" vanilla called from the other side of the door.
"Don't worry it's just us, I know you've met us before!" Twilight called back.
Meanwhile inside the bedroom, vanilla was holding the door closed so the animatronics wouldn't get in, then she heard something come from her closet.
"Why is there rustling coming from my closet?" she asked herself, scared to open the door. She opened the closet door and dash jumped out from something inside of the closet, making vanilla scream once more. Meanwhile, the others had entered the room and tried to reason why they were here, but vanilla wasn't catching on.
"Ok, the others better hurry, I'm starting to lose ground," RS stated out loud again, sunset had found spike and RS had started to hurry his pace to get away from sunset, though she was faster and once she was right behind spike, she knocked off his antennae.
"Uh oh, that can't be good." after she said that, spike shut down and stood in the middle of the security room. RS was still connected somehow and was seeing everything that was going on. She heard something from the doorway and her eyes widened
She saw an aura of magic grab spike and sunset started to tear him apart. Only when sunset ripped his head off is when the screen on RS's computer went to static.
RS closed the computer, stored it in her saddlebags, and headed inside to see what was taking the animatronics so long.
The animatronics were still trying to convince vanilla orchid though she was still not catching on.
please help us! sunset has gone insane! you have to trust us! here. Will this make you understand?
Twilight showed vanilla an attempted drawing. Though vanilla thought it was something to make her feel more scared, so she grabbed a butcher knife in her wing, and pinkie in the other and put the knife up to her neck.
"STAY BACK!!!" she yelled.
"Well great, I guess it didn't work." twilight said to herself out loud while dash facehoofed herself.
"Heh, maybe we should sing a song together? Heh, heh" pinkie said with sweat running down her face
"Shut up!" vanilla demanded.
"Take it easy please." twilight said.
"Can you put down the knife?" Fluttershy pleaded.
"You won't take me alive please!?" vanilla pleaded the approaching robots.
we're not taking you at all, i swear. we're not here to hurt you miss. what they said. go away, i'll carve out her endoskeleton and wear her like a suit! come on, now she's just making excuses. no kidding. i'd be careful with that knife.
When the new voice entered the room, vanilla swung the knife but still held it in her wing to the direction of the voice.
"That's pinkie pie, she holds a very special place in the hearts of foals so, we should show her a little respect." RS came into view and tried to convince vanilla, but it still didn't work.
"Are you the night shift? Are you with these monsters?"
"No, I'm a friend of a bunch of robots"
"What do you want?" when vanilla said that, pinkie slipped out from her wing and returned to her friends' sides.
we need your help. there is a very crazy animatronic at pinkie fazpie's! we'd go to the princess, but she'll probably think we're crazy. does that sound familiar? hold on.
Vanilla got up and walked to another place in the room.
"Are you telling me that you robots aren't here to kill me? And even if I was willing to go back to the pizzeria, which I'm not! What will I have to get out of this? Phycological damage? A horrible death? 25 years to life with a cellmate named Freddy Krueger?"
"Absolutely not" dash commented in a somewhat disgusted tone.
"How about this? Proving you didn't lie to the guards?" RS suggested.
"Fine."
"Hooray! Group hug!" pinkie shouted, and the other animatronics moved in to give vanilla a group hug, forgetting she still had the knife in her wing.
"Don't touch me!" she said holding out the knife, and the robots got off of her.
Later, all the ponies were on the way to RS's house to spend the day since it was almost 6 am.
"The pizzeria opens in a few minutes, we should lay low until everypony leaves for the night," RS stated to vanilla
"Got it."
"And while we're there, we might as well get some sleep, I'm tired." dash said, then got a nudge by twilight.
Rainbow Sparkle was giving vanilla orchid a tour of her home while the animatronics were waiting for the time to return home, and just like dash said the night before, she wanted to rest for the night to come, much to twilight's disappointment.
"Laying low is usually done quietly you know." vanilla said.
"I know, but you do know about how she has been yawning the whole way here last night, so I had to let her rest," RS responded.
"I guess you've got a point." vanilla stated her thought out loud, then a question arose in her mind how did she know that they were alive? She then asked RS the question and she responded.
"The same way you did."
"With a machine gun?"
"No, not really. I was working here when the bite from seven years ago happened, just the look of pure horror on sunset shimmer's face, and yes, sunset was a normal animatronic back then. Her expression gave me a strange feeling that the robots were alive."
"Seriously, I don't want you to make fun of me. I killed a pony, she was just sweeping the floor."
"Speaking of which, I heard yesterday that she's in stable condition."
"You're kidding."
"No, I'm not."
"I put three rounds in her chest, that pony must know some powerful magic."
"I'm starting to get the feeling that she's not the only one." RS continued the conversation as vanilla sat down on the couch.
"You have a plan uh, sorry I never got your name."
"Rainbow Sparkle and your name are..."
"Vanilla Orchid."
"Anyway, I plan to survive until 6 am."
"Heh, I'm pretty good at surviving until 6 am."
"Well, we should put that to the test tonight."
"Great."
in the night...
When all the animatronics, vanilla, and Rainbow Sparkle arrived at the pizzeria, they all went straight to the security room to set up their plan.
"Oh well, how long has that been there. I don't remember that being there when I worked here." vanilla exclaimed when she entered the room, seeing the head of what used to be RS's distraction robot spike.
"Well, I guess that sunset has been distracted for this whole time." RS realized what vanilla was talking about and commented on it as well.
Vanilla and RS put their saddlebags in the usual corner where they usually put their stuff and went to the desk to begin their plan. RS opened the desk computer and looked through each camera to find sunset, eventually, she found her in the party room.
"OK, she's still in the building, but without her wiring active, I don't know how to shut her down," RS stated.
"Oh my," Fluttershy whimpered.
"Hold on, is she made out of spring-locks?" vanilla asked.
"From my memory, I think she does," RS answered.
"I've read that spring-locks tend to fail whenever they get wet with any liquid." vanilla said.
"I have an idea," RS said, "so we all know that Pinkie's isn't quite up to code."
"Yeah," dash answered.
"Though from what I remember, there is a fire extinguisher in every main room of the pizzeria."
"I think I know where this is going, and I like it." twilight stated.
"I think if we can find those, we could lure her into the office..."
"And hit her with everything we have." vanilla finished RS's sentence, figuring out where the plan was going.
"OK, we know what to do," pinkie said, "though where do we find the fire extinguishers."
"It says that there should be one in the office somewhere," RS said after hitting another button on the computer.
"I think it's over here," dash said, pointing to a broken game machine in the office.
Vanilla went to push it out of the way and look for the item. However when the machine was fully out of the way, the item was gone, all that was there was a safety outline and an empty hook.
"Darn, it looks like some pony got it already."
"Well with that gone, we have to search for some in the other locations around the building," RS stated.
"While you guys set up the trap, I and the others can look around and try to find them, if we all know where to look," pinkie said with determination, and the other animatronics agreed.
"Well, there should be some in these locations, " RS pressed another key on the computer and the locations of the other fire extinguishers appeared on the map.
i think i'll take the backstage. i'll look in the kitchen. of course, there has to be one in my area, *heavy sigh* i guess i'll check there. i'll look on the main stage!
"OK, we'll set up the trap while you guys look for the extinguishers," RS said as the animatronics left the office.
"What am I supposed to do?" vanilla asked after the robots were out of sight.
"To spring the trap,"
After RS answered, vanilla face hoofed herself, for she understood the pun.
After a few minutes, vanilla had set up the trap while RS watched the cameras to look over the animatronics if sunset happened to be waiting to attack at any moment.
Dash had taken the vent towards her area and when she was at the other side, she pushed the vent cage open and climbed out, then heard RS's voice in the speakers.
"OK, by looking at the map, the extinguisher should be near the floor on your left rainbow"
"Got it, near the floor to my left." dash said, then began to look around. "Let's see, uh oh. Uh..there is nothing here!"
"Oh boy," RS said when she heard dash's reply.
"Come on pinkie, you have to find it. I won't let things get worse."
"pinkie, it's dead ahead, look in front of you."
"Oh no, looks like some pony got to it first!"
"Alright twilight, you're in the backstage, now you just need to look for the extinguisher."
"looking at the map twilight, it should be right next to the back door."
"Got it! Now to go to the back door," when she arrived at the back door, she instantly saw the place where the extinguisher was supposed to be. "Nope! Nothing!"
"I'm going to need help, I can't find this on my own!" Fluttershy called.
RS switched to the kitchen camera, though it was still broken.
“Camera is down! Look sharp, you are currently on your own Fluttershy” vanilla said, taking the phone from RS.
“Great,” Fluttershy stated, then started to look through everything around and under stuff in the kitchen until she opened a closet door and found a fire extinguisher still on its hook.
“I found one!” She called out, and the ponies in the office were relieved.
After she grabbed the object with her wing, she started to hear growling behind her, turns out sunset was coming to take away the last fire extinguisher, But Fluttershy had already beat her to it.
“Give me that!” She yelled at Fluttershy, who was already running back to the office where everyone else was hoping that Fluttershy wouldn't get caught after hearing the growls from the computer.
“Hurry, get ready to deploy the trap!” RS said to vanilla, who grabbed the rope in her mouth, ready to deploy the trap when sunset entered the room.
Then Fluttershy tripped over her own hooves while entering the office and dropped the extinguisher, who RS instantly picked it up in her wings.
Sunset tried to enter the office not too long after, but vanilla deployed the trap just in time.
“RS!” Vanilla called out in struggle from the trashing from sunset “dowse her, now!”
RS got ready to end this, but instead, the extinguisher exploded and the remaining stuff inside went everywhere, and very little went onto sunset, not enough to end it.
“Well, that did not go as planned,” RS said, then was instantly knocked out from behind as starlight was holding another extinguisher with her magic.
"You can say that again miss" starlight said.
"PURPLE MARE" vanilla shouted
"Hey guys, if you can't see right now I'm not in a great mood so can you drop the rope and release my murder buddy" starlight said.
"Wait, you were behind sunset all along?" Fluttershy asked
"Well, she was supposed to be scary though she gets a little carried away sometimes."
By now RS had woken up and started to get a headache from the impact.
"Ugh, so then what was the point in all of this in the first place?" she asked, but before starlight could answer, vanilla interrupted with a "wait"
flashback...
"By the way how are you getting so many hours?"
"What are you talking about?" vanilla asked.
"You're scheduled four more nights this week!"
"What?" vanilla asked for a second time, fear once again in her voice.
"Yeah, you have four more nights."
"I know why, she just wants to have more hours" vanilla stated the truth
"Yep." starlight said "and I would have gotten it if they hadn't you two for the night shift"
"You know you can't legally work that many hours!" RS stated clearly.
"And you know you can't let stinky robots bite a foal's head off either!" starlight said back, clearly offending pinkie.
"It was all an accident!" pinkie shouted.
"I never wanted this job. OK." RS said, making the animatronics hang their heads, and seeing that made RS say "no offense."
"And I'm currently wanted for attempted murder," vanilla stated, remembering that incident from 3 nights ago.
"So, from what you all are saying, you're all letting me have the night shift?" starlight questioned.
"As long as these mares have somepony to stay up all night with," RS said while walking up to the animatronics and giving them a group hug.
"Well then, I think that was a lot simpler than what I originally had in mind, now I feel really dumb." starlight said while throwing the fire extinguisher with her magic across the room.
"You are kinda dumb," vanilla said, triggering sunset, "whoa whoa, I'm kidding" I'm not kidding
"Oddly enough everything turned out OK in the end, right guys" twilight asked.
i guess so yepidoodles yay you got that right yeah sure alright
After everypony agreed with twilight, the phone started ringing once more. Starlight hit the button on the phone with her magic so that everyone could hear what the pony on the other side of the phone had to say. Then, the same high pitched voice from all the other times before came forth.
"Hello? Oh hey there! I called just to say 'congratulations, it looks like you all managed to survive five nights at pinkie's' that's really awesome. Though unfortunately, I expected you all to have turned on each other by now, though you didn't, so I guess I need to drop by and finish the job for you all!!!!"
When the voice finished, it hung up and the door was mysteriously closed. Vanilla tried to open it, but couldn't, it was disabled. Then they all heard a *thunk* come from the other side of the room, they all looked in the direction the sound came from and it happened again, then they started to hear a wiring sound from the other side and a chainsaw, type of pole sticking out from the wall. It started to move and cut through the wall while something from the other side was trying to get in. When the hole in the wall was large enough for the figure to get in, it jumped through. It had some sort of costume on that looked like a bear. Then it took off the head to reveal its face. It was a mare that had the same colors as pinkie, but her mane was flat, like a wet piece of paper hanging off a table, it was a real pony, with a very smug and evil grin on her face. After a second of silence, vanilla spoke first.
“Can some pony please tell me what is going on right now!?”
The mysterious pony answered vanilla’s question by saying, “oh, this just a crime scene, and you all are the victims” she then gave a maniac-like giggle.
"Who are you?" RS asked the strange figure that just came in.
"Well, I am your employer Rainbow Sparkle. I actually go by many names: phone mare, pinkamena, etc."
"Is one 'evil cotton candy with a chainsaw'?" starlight asked, instantly regretting asking that question as pinkamena rammed the chainsaw into her chest, making everyone else in the room gasp in horror.
"Why, you are correct. Well, you know what, that's my favorite."
She ripped out the chainsaw from starlight with immense force, and she instantly collapsed on the ground, dead.
"For what you just did, I'm going to make you burn to a crisp!" vanilla shouted.
"Well good looks like I have the right tool for the job" she laughed while activating a flamethrower that was attached to the chainsaw. Pinkie spoke up.
"Will you just leave them alone! This is my pizzeria, not yours!" as she finished her sentence, pinkamena bucked pinkie with all of her might and knocked her out.
"PINKIE" Fluttershy shouted and ran over to see if pinkie was alright.
"Heh, honestly, I really have to thank you vanilla orchid. None of the ponies in this room would be right here, right now if you had just listened to me on night 1." pinkamena said to vanilla, still showing that evil grin.
"Don't be scared..." vanilla started.
"...they just want to play with you." pinkamena finished the sentence while putting back on her scary bear mask, then she started giggling menacingly.
Then vanilla got an idea, sunset was programmed by starlight just wants to attack whoever she was ordered to attack, she's the only animatronic here who doesn't not even in the slightest bit wants to play with the night guards during their shift, so, she tried not to get scratched while whispering to sunset, "sunset shimmer, instead of attacking us, how about you attack pinkamena instead." sunset heard the request and processed it for a few seconds, then accepted the command and prepared to be let go.
Once vanilla was going to release sunset, she said in a hushed voice as to not startle her allies, "not all of them." then she let go of her.
The others moved out of the way while sunset charged at pinkamena, and pinkamena readied herself to fight by activating her chainsaw part of her contraption.
The fight began with sunset jumping on pinkamena, she struggled to get sunset off but it was no use. While they were fighting, pinkamena accidentally activating the flamethrower part of her contraption, setting off smoke alarms all around the building. The fight continued and the flamethrower was just not shutting off, and RS realized what was going to happen.
"Someone better do something so we can get out of here now!" RS shouted over the screaming from pinkamena and sunset.
Vanilla looked over to the panel for the door and got an idea. She grabbed the panel tightly in her hooves and ripped it off of the wall, causing the circuit to malfunction and open the door.
RS noticed vanilla's plan and complimented it saying "I guess that worked, good job vanilla." and gave her a nod of approval. "Now let's get out of here everypony!" and everyone started to run out the door.
Vanilla stayed behind a little longer to get pinkie, who was still knocked out from the impact of pinkamena's buck. Vanilla hoisted pinkie onto her back and then followed everybody else to escape the upcoming fire.
Meanwhile, pinkamena had ripped off one of sunset's front legs, but it hadn't affected her fight with pinkamena and continued to fight, and one thing about being a robot was that you could not feel any pain whatsoever, so sunset had continued to fight without feeling any pain from the dismemberment.
Vanilla had looked through the window of the office for the last time and saw something that would be burned into her memory for the rest of her days, she saw a huge ball of fire engulfing sunset and pinkamena, and she followed the others to the exit.
Then the last of the group reached the exit just in time for the fire to finally leave the office with pinkamena's bloodcurdling screams fading into silence and the fire spreading all around the building, burning everything it had inside to the ground while the group watched the flames from a distance, pinkie had woken up in the meantime while heading to the place they were sitting on now.
"Well that was something," rainbow dash said, making everyone else burst into laughter, and RS just rolled her eyes while thinking in her thoughts...
The morning after, RS was reading the latest newspaper while on phonecall with vanilla and happened to come across an article of the event from last night and the title of the article was "pinkie fazpie's burns to the ground" once she noticed the article, she mentioned it to vanilla.
"What a shame, too bad they didn't say 'pinkie fazBurns' you know what I'm saying"
"That's horrible" vanilla responded, "I got an idea, maybe you could go write for the paper."
"No way, a job without haunted pony animatronics sounds boring, can you agree with me here." RS rejected vanilla's request when vanilla got another idea.
"Well, I looked online and saw on their website that they are planning on opening a sister location very soon if you are willing to keep working for them." vanilla said, and RS's phone started ringing and she checked why it was ringing, turned out that she was getting another call from an unknown number.
I'm getting another call from somepony with an unknown number, I'll call you back later vanilla. ok, talk to you later RS. you two, bye bye
RS hung up with vanilla and picked up the unknown call.
"Hello"
A high pitched voice came forth and RS instantly recognized the voice "hello, hello. Oh hey there, I'll bet you right now that this was not what you were expecting." RS was dumbfounded to find the very pony the pony that had attacked her and her friends the night before.
It took a few seconds to find the right words to say in this situation, and eventually she could only make up one word to express how she was feeling about this situation, "how?"
Pinkamena answered her question by saying, "it should be obvious now but if you still don't know what's happening, i didn't die in that fire last night, and when the guards found me they found some incriminating evidence on the security cameras, or what is left of them because of obvious reasons, but when they took me to the princess she told me that i could make one call, and my first thought of who to call was you Rainbow Sparkle" RS was now increasing her breathing a little bit and starting to panic and look around to see if she was being spied on, even though she knew that she was safe from that maniac, she continued to look around while pinkamena kept speaking, "and i called you just to remind you that, there is nowhere that i will not find you. There is nowhere where i won't catch you. And i will think about that every single night until i get out of this place and i do..." pinkamena was cut off by RS. She had regained her composure after scanning the entire area that she was at and regulated her breathing after a few calming breaths.
"Hang on, can i put you on hold for a little bit?" she said. Pinkamena paused to hear what RS had to say and she was taken aback by what she had heard. She responded with one word
"What?!"
They started talking at same time to not even hear what they were even saying, then RS put pinkamena on hold telling her that she'd love hold music while she was screaming into the phone on her side of the call, and RS had thrown her phone into the nearest fountain so that she could no longer hear pinkamena's voice.
After that, she had spread her wings and took off into the sky to meet vanilla on a high cloud.
Meanwhile with vanilla, she was chilling on a cloud waiting for RS to get back, she somehow brought pinkamena's contraption with her and a grill with sausages cooking on top of the grill. She used the contraption to heat up the grill she's suspecting for the sausages to be done by the time RS gets back.
When RS did arrive, she told vanilla what happened in the call and she was surprized to hear that pinkamena had survived the fire, but RS also told her that the castle guards found pinkamena in the ruins and took her to the princess, and vanilla calmed down and offered RS a sausage, and she greatly accepted the offer.
Then they hung out the rest of the day.
Meanwhile the animatornics did their own thing in their brand new home that they call "fazpie games unlimited," where they create horror games baised on their previous home in memory of it. They were testing out the games and they had lost by getting jumpscared and the screen turned to static, signaling that it was game over. The animatronics all laughed and after they stopped laughing, they all discussed what the title would be.
"Wow, you guys really did a good job, this is very scary. I still can't believe that you all managed to do it all in a matter of hours!" pinkie said.
"Aw, thanks pinkie," fluttershy said
"We still need a name for it though" twilight said, making the others think of the name.
"Ooh, I know. Five Nights At Pinkie's," rainbow said, hoping the others would agree.
that sounds like a good title, good thinking rainbow yeah, I agree me two
"Then it's settled, time to make the title card," rainbow said, making her way to make the title screen of their game that would become a big success once the game would be launched.
