Ace let out a defeated sigh as he finished checking what felt like the millionth classroom.
They had been searching for a exit but non were found. As Ace walked out of the classroom to rejoin the group and they were all silent.

"So. No exits or anything?" Shining Armor asked and everyone shook their heads.

"Well then that means this hallway is useless." Twilight muttered and lead them back to the hallway with the gym.

"Okay did we perhaps miss anyone?" she asked and everyone looked around only to reveal one of them was missing.

Brandon Puppetstrings.

"Okay. Who last saw him?"

Everyone looked around and they all shrugged. They had only seen him until the divided into smaller groups to search the classrooms.

"Brandon?" Ace called and everyone else did the same but only five minutes after they had begun their search, Brandon came running down the hallway, his reddish brown mane bouncing from running. He stopped in front of the group, panting for breath.

"Brandon! Where the hay were you!? Its very stupid to run off in this place!" Applejack scolded though the scolds went unheard as Brandon immediately began to speak once he caught his breath.

"Rooms.....Not classrooms.....rooms full of stuff." He straightened up after finishing his sentence and smiled proudly.

"Well. Lead the way!" Ace said enthusiastically when no one else would speak. Though Ace didn't admit it, the young earth pony was growing on him.

Everyone followed the suddenly happy Puppeteer, most having to speed walk or jog to keep up with him. After passing many open and empty classes the teenagers all came across a door which unlike the classrooms which had a number and letter plastered on the front it read Music Room

Brandon jumped up and down happily before opening the door. Everyone entered the room, looking around at the instruments happily.

"Yes! They have a DJ booth!" and Ace watched as the pastel white DJ jumped into the booth.

"I do wish they had a puppet booth or something." Brandon muttered before running out of the room, not even waiting for the rest of the group.

Ace ignored his groaning peers and followed him, as they continued walking Ace saw a staircase but it was blocked off by sturdy wood boards.

"Oh yeah that's a staircase to the next level. Not sure why they blocked it off but I bet there is more helpful things up there.." Ace looked at the boards before attempting to pry the plank away and he could hear the gathering of the others in the hallway as they headed towards them.

As Ace felt the board begin loosen something went poof beside him and Ace leaped and slipped, falling onto his back. There stood MonoColt in his suit with a stupid look on his monochrome face.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you!" he said and the others had gathered by them.

"And Why not? Its not like there's anything special up there right?" Cloud walked over to the enclosed stairwell and pulled a foot back to break through one of the wood boards.

"Hey, cloud boy? Do you want to be crushed to a pulp? Cause that can happen." Cloud stopped and turned to MonoColt.

"Alright. I don't want to die today so I'll let you have your way." Cloud snapped at him before walking back to the group.

"Now. I shall be off to watch your boring explorations of this floor." He emphasized the 'boring' before vanishing like always.

Ace glared at the space where Monocolt had stood seconds before.

"Hey is anyone else feeling hungry?" Brandon asked, his timid behavior returning.

"Yeah its been a few hours, why not?" Shining asked and everyone liked the idea and they all headed to the cafeteria.
