The mane six gathered in the castle because they found a newspaper article of an abondoned hotel. "I'm telling you guys. This story is real. It says here, eighty six years ago it was struck by lightning and five lives were lost." said Rainbow Dash. "It also says some of them were famous in Hollywood. Child actress Sally Shine, her nanny Emeline Patridge, bellhop Dewey Todd, singer Carolyn Crosson, and her boyfriend Gilbert London." said Rarity as she looked into the paper.

"Well, I did hear about those people going missing. But I don't know why they're telling us this story now instead of when the incident happened." said Twilight. "I don't know, Twilight. Do you think we should investigate?" Applejack asked. "It also said the hotel was abandoned when the lightning struck that night. I have a feeling it's scary." said Fluttershy. "We could always fix up the hotel." said Pinkie.

"It's settled then. We are going to the Hollywood Tower Hotel." said Twilight.

...

So, they traveled through the train and made it to Hollywood.

"Hollywood! Oh, isn't it grand? The lights, the sounds, the fashion! I must be dreaming, somepony pinch me!" Rarity squealed in delight. "Calm down, Rarity. We're only here for the hotel investigation." said Applejack. "Do we know where it is? We could always ask for directions." Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, there's an old lady walking by. Can we ask her?" Fluttershy asked. "I think she's going to ask us something." said Rainbow Dash.

The old woman walked up to the mane six and asked, "Excuse me, ladies. Are you here for the investigation of the abondoned hotel?" "Um, yes. We are, but how did you know?" Twilight asked. "I heard you talking about it and your pink friend is holding a newspaper about the incident." the old woman explained. "That's great. Do you know where the hotel is?" Twilight asked. "I'll lead you to there. But, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Abigail Gregory. What are your names?" the old woman introduced herself. "Nice to meet you, Abigail. I'm Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy." Twilight introduced.

"Wonderful, now let's get going." said Abigail as she leads the mane six to the location of the Hollywood Tower Hotel.

...

When they got there, it was very deserted and no one has been here for years.

"Oh my Celestia, it's very scary." said Fluttershy. "It kinda does, isn't it." said Applejack. "So, do you what happened that night when the lightning struck?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Oh yes, I remember. Would you like me to tell you?" Abigail asked. The mane six nodded yes as they sat down and listened to the story.

"Well, it was on Halloween night. The Hollywood Tower Hotel was the most popular hotel for famous movie stars, including Sally Shine. But, her nanny Emeline was annoyed by Sally's spoiled attitude. She casted a spell on the hotel. She's the reason why the lightning struck the hotel. And now, this hotel is being haunted by the ghosts of the victims. The only way to break the spell and set the people free is to fix the elevator." Abigail explained.

The mane six were shocked at the story. "So, all we have to do is fix the elevator?" Applejack asked. Abigail nodded her head yes, and said, "And deal with the ghosts." "That's great. I'm leaving, goodbye." said Fluttershy as she tries to leave, but Rainbow Dash grabs her tail and pulls her back. "I don't think so, Fluttershy. There's no going back on this one." she said. "Come on, we've dealt with ghosts before. We can handle this one as well." said Pinkie. "I'm glad you're up for the challenge." said Abigail.

"So, what shall we do in order to face the ghosts and fix the elevator at the same time?" Rarity asked. "You need to dress up as the employees." said Abigail. The mane six were surprised at the answer. "Wait, you want us to dress up in these costumes? No, I am not doing it. I'll look ridiculous." said Rainbow Dash. "You have to, if you want to fox the elevator." said Abigail in a sing song voice.

Rainbow Dash groaned in annoyance.

...

So, the mane six dressed up as the hotels employees and they quietly sneaked into the building without getting caught.

"Ugh, I hate this costume. It itches like crazy." Rainbow Dash complained. "I agree, Rainbow Dash. It also smells too, like it hasn't been washsed for years. Phew!" Rarity complained. "It's kinda tight on me." Pinkie complained. "I know you're not happy with Abigail's costume choices, but what's important is to fix that elevator." said Twilight. "And there it is. Man, Abigail is right. It does need some fixing. Well, good thing I brought the right tools." said Applejack.

She brought out the tool box and they began to fix it. "Hmm, I don't see anything broken with this elevator. All it needs is an oil change and get rid of all of this dust." said Applejack as she blows the dust away from her. The dust lands on Pinkie's nose which caused her to sneeze really loud and dust was flying everywhere. "Bless you." Twilight muttered. "Well, at least the dust is out of the way." said Rarity as she sees none of the dust in the elevator. "Now, let's oil this thing." said Applejack. "Here it is." said Fluttershy as she gives the oil to her friend. "Thank you, Fluttershy." said Applejack as she pours it into the broken areas of the elevator.

Suddenly, the lights went on automatically and the mane six were nervous about what's going on. "Applejack, what did you do?" Twilight asked. "I didn't do anything." Applejack replied. "Well, what's happening? Is someone here other than us?" Fluttershy asked. "I hope not. Plus, no one comes here anyways." Rainbow Dash replied. Then, they see five ghosts appear right in front of them. The mane six screamed at them and ran for their lives. They tried to run for the exit, but it was shut tight. "Abigail! Let us out! The ghosts are about to get us!" Twilight shouted. "They're getting closer!" Applejack shouted. "What do we do?! What do we do?!" Pinkie shouted.

"Help us." the ghosts said. "What did you say?" Twilight asked. "Help us. Set us free." the ghosts said. "Wait, you tried to hurt us. And now, you're asking us to help you? What's going on here?!" Rainbow Dash asked. "Please. Abigail sent you girls here to trap you here." said Sally. "Abigail? Why would she want to trap us here? She wants us to fix the elevator in order to break the curse." said Twilight. "And I know who is to blame. Emeline, the nanny of Sally Shine." said Pinkie as she points her finger at her. The ghosts gasped at her.

"It's not true. Why would you think I caused the deaths of these innocent people?" Emeline asked in shock. "Because you casted a spell on the hotel, causing the lightning to strike this place. You did it because you hated Sally Shine." Twilight answered. Emeline was disgusted at this and said, "I did not cause the incident of the hotel. I wasn't even interested in witchcraft. And I never hated Sally Shine. She was a sweet girl, even though she has her moments." Sally stepped up to defend her nanny and said, "Its true. She never hates me, she's like a second mom to me." "Wait, you're all telling us the truth?" Rarity asked. The ghosts nodded yes. "But, what really happened that night?" Twilight asked.

"I'll tell you what happened." said Abigail as she opened the door wide open. "Abigail, these ghosts are saying Emeline did not cause the incident that night. Is it true?" Twilight asked. Abigail chuckled evilly and said, "She's right. The incident was caused by me." The mane six gasped at the fact Abigail is the primary suspect. "You did this? You caused the lightning to strike the hotel?" Twilight asked in horror. "That's right, my dear child. It was because of my jealousy towards my sister, Sally. She got all of the attention from everyone, including my family. And I get nothing. So, I used the witchcraft to cause the lightning to strike this place and give her the taste of her medicine." Abigail explained.

"How could you? We were going to help you, but now you've trapped us here." said Fluttershy. "It's a good thing I did. Now, all of you shall enter the elevator and I must complete my spell." said Abigail. "Alright, we will. But, under one condition." said Twilight. "And what's that?" Abigail asked. "You have to join in with us." said Twilight. Everyone gasped at the moment. "And why do I have to do that?" Abigail asked. "Because you needed to hear the truth." said Sally.

"I don't need the truth. You and our parents never loved me, they only loved you and your fame." said Abigail. "We did love you. That's why we were at the hotel during a big party, to celebrate your birthday. We wanted to surprise you." Sally explained. "Surprise me? But, you've never paid attention to me." said Abigail. "We didn't mean to ignore you, we just wanted you to have the best birthday at the Tip Top." Sally explained. "You mean, the big party that happened that night was for me?" Abigail asked. "Yes. I'm very sorry." said Sally.

Abigail was about to say something, but a huge force pushed them all into the elevator. "What's happening?" Pinkie asked. "The spell. It's repeating itself." said Abigail. "Do you know how to undo it?" Twilight asked. "I can't, I don't know how to undo the spell." Abigail replied in a frightened way. Then the elevator begins to go up. "Oh man, oh man, oh man!" Applejack said in worrisome. "Hold on, everypony. It's gonna be a bumpy ride!" Rainbow Dash shouted as she hangs onto something. Her friends did the same thing.

But, they didn't expect this to happen. The elevator suddenly dropped, causing the mane six and Abigail to scream at the terror. Then, it went back up in a faster tone. "Make it stop! Make it stop!" Pinkie shouted. "I can't take anymore of this." Fluttershy cried. The elevator repeated the same things over and over again. "Abigail, you have to do something! Otherwise, we'll be like this forever." said Twilight. "I can't. This is all my fault, if only I haven't been jealous of my sister." said Abigail. "Then, forgive her. Forgive yourself. Trust me, everything's going to be fine." said Twilight.

Abigail opened the elevator doors with her magic and jumped out. The mane six were frightened of what she did and shouted, "ABIGAIL!" Then, the elevator stopped and they all fell out unharmed. "What just happened?" Rarity asked as she rubs her head. They saw Abigail and Sally holding hands in front of them. "Abigail, you're dead. How?" Twilight asked. "It's because of my sacrifice and my forgiveness for you and my sister. Now, I will Rest In Peace. The curse is now broken." said Abigail. "Alright, we did it!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Thank you girls, for everything. Now, I shall restore the hotel to the way it was." said Abigail as she and Sally bursted into gold dust and magically the hotel became brand new. The mane six were amazed at the magic. "Oh my. It's so beautiful!" said Rarity. "Looks like the hotel is not haunted anymore." said Applejack. "So, now what?" Fluttershy asked.

"Let's tell the public that the Hollywood Tower Hotel has been reopened." said Twilight.

...

And so, the mane six told everyone in Hollywood about the hotel being reopened. Every pony was amazed at the now beautiful hotel. Thanks to the mane six.
