Chapter I -  It Begins.

"It happened three years ago..it started with an idea about moving in together.At first, we thought it wouldn't be possible as none of us had enough money to afford a house.Mostly because half of the houses in Ponyville were occupied.But..as if some sort of 'stroke of luck' as you may call it, we found a house..."

Three Years Earlier.

Rainbow Dash had finished putting her stuff in her bedroom. She still didn't believe that she now lived in a two-story house-tree with her best friends.It was perfect house to begin with: Three floors, four bathroom, six bedrooms.It was amazing, yet it was strange the place was only sold for a small amount of money.Why did a house of two floors and such elegant stature be sold so cheap?

Her thoughts were interupted by a voice,the voice of Twilight Sparkle.

"Oh hey Rainbow Dash!"

Dashie turned around to see Twilight,all with smiles,outside of her door,she smiled too and walked towards her,finished with her work.

"Hey,Twi.What's up?"

"Oh nothing,finished putting everything in the room.I still can't believe we have this house.",she said,looking around in awe,looking down the hall as it lead to the other two rooms and a window at the end of it.Rainbow Dash nodded,

"Yeah.I'd expect it to cost ALOT more."

The two ponies left the room and went downstairs,Pinkie Pie was making cupcakes in the kitchen,Fluttershy was putting items in their place in the living room and Rarity was putting new curtains up. Dash looked around,she noticed that Spike and Applejack weren't around."Hey,where's Applejack and Spike?",she asked.

"Oh deary,they're helping out to get more of our belongings out of our homes into this one.",said Rarity, using her horn to put the lavish curtain up.

Dash nodded and looked at Fluttershy.She noticed that Fluttershy looked from side to side, and then shook her head.Rainbow Dash tilted her head and walked up to her.

"What's wrong Fluttershy?",she asked.

She looked at Dashie and shook her head."It's nothing..just...thought I heard something.."

Dash raised an eyebrow.Heard something?

~*~

A week had passed after moving into the Wicker House. Everypony was inside, sleeping soundly, the wind from outside echoed through the trees, the house itself was silent however.Fluttershy was sleeping durably, with Angel next to her. As she slept, a voice echoed in her ear, leading her to wake up.She looked from side to side, thinking it was either her friends pranking her.

"Girls..is that you?",she called out in her quiet tone.

There was an eerie silence for about three minutes before the voice was heard again.This time, It was very vivid.

"No.."

Fluttershy jumped and curled up more in her bed,making Angel wake up, give his grumpy look at Fluttershy before curling back up and drifiting to sleep.Poor Fluttershy trembled and called out again.

"Pinkie Pie,is that you?",she said, thinking it was her friend doing her usual pranks.

Before she could get an answer, she heard the floor creak next to her. As she turned, she could clearly see, a white Earth Pony, it's mane all dull and almost ebony, covering half of her face, it's eyes deep blue and bloodshot. Fluttershy screamed in horror and shock,waking Angel up again. Her friends ran into the room and turned on the lights, running to her.Rainbow Dash was the first one to trot quickly and calm her down.

"Whoa whoa!Calm down Fluttershy,it's just me and the others!What's wrong!?".

Fluttershy calmed down slowly before crying on Dashie's chest."I-i saw something..i-it was staring a-at me..".Rarity looked at her with abashed. "Who was deary?What could you have possibly seen?",she asked, concerned.Fluttershy sniffed and looked at her, "I-it was a pony..she was staring at me right there..", she said, pointing at the spot she saw the figure.Twilight put her hoof on Fluttershy's and looked at her. "Fluttershy, nothing was there.You probably imagined it, After all, the dark can do that."

The scared pegasus looked down at her hooves,along with Twilight's hoof before looking up and nodding. "I guess you're right Twilight..". Rainbow Dash petted her friend's head and said, "Come on Fluttershy, you can sleep with me if you want". Fluttershy nodded and smiled, "Thanks..", she got up as Rainbow took her to her room, with Angel following. Twilight turned off the light of Fluttershy's room before going to join the others for bed.

After that, Fluttershy didn't see or hear anything after that.

....for now at least.
