The Ice Cream Man

>Whistle a little tune as you get dressed for work
>Get your shoes and pants on and then leave the front door and lock it behind you
>Walk out to the garage where the magic powered carriage Cheerilee had Twilight create to help you with your job
>Giving the children free ice cream
>Get in it and flip up the switch
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzodaDCD798
>Drive around the town slowly trying to get some smiles
>When you stop, a group of three fillies run over all smiling happily
>No other ponies are around because there is something being held at the town square
>The orange pegasus looks up at you
>"Can I have a strawberry shake?"
>The white unicorn with a squeaky voice and curly pink mane asks next
>"Can I have a vanilla cone?"
>Lastly is the yellow earth pony with a southern accent
>"Can Ah have a chocolate sundae?"
>You look back and see that you're all out
Sure girls. Just come around to the back and I'll get it for ya.
>They walk around to the back of the carriage and wait as you come out the side of your door
>You circle around behind them as they wait patiently for you to open the back of the carriage
Alright girls.
>They are startled by your voice and turn around
>A warm smile from your face calms them
>You reach forward and open the back of the carriage
>Then kick the unicorn in the back of the head and grab the other two by the mane
>Throw them in and then the unconscious unicorn
>Then shut the carriage again and walk around to the driver's seat
>And drive back home listening to the sounds of crying for help in the back
>Good thing this tune is quite loud
>You arrive at home and park in the garage
>Then close the garage door and walk to the side of the carriage
>Pushing a little on a small door there, you peer inside to see the orange pegasus holding the yellow earth pony and both of them are staring at the unicorn
>Who is right next to the door
>Perfect
>You reach in quickly and snatch her
>The screams of the girls are tremendously loud
>You'll have to thank Twilight for the sound proof garage later
>Lock the side door on the carriage and head inside with the unicorn filly

>You are Scootaloo
>And you're terrified
>This was the human that gave out free ice cream!
>Why is he doing this?!
>That doesn't matter, you have to find Sweetie Belle!
Applebloom, we have to save Sweetie...
>You whisper to her
>She sniffs a bit and nods
Help me look for a way out.
>Then you both search around the carriage for some way to escape
>When checking the corner closer to the front, you hear a creak noise
>Both of you freeze
>No more noise is heard
>You move again and it creaks again
What the...
>You move the mat there and see a loose wooden board
Applebloom, come over here.
>She creeps over
You've got strong legs from bucking right?
>"Sort of."
>You motion to the loose board
Can you break it?
>"Ah can try..."
>She pushes down on it and a louder creak is heard
>Both of you stop in fear he'll hear
>When no additional noises are heard, she pushes harder
>A loud snap happens and the piece of wood breaks off
>The sounds of footsteps are heard
Go!
>She jumps out of it and so do you
>Then you hide under the carriage
>The door opens, shining a brighter light into the room
>A shadow passes through it and walks in
>He walks to the back and opens it
>"Shit!"
>He runs back through the door and slams it behind him
Whew...Applebloom, you okay?
>"Ah...Ah think so."
Lets go.
>Slowly and quietly you sneak out from under it and look around in the dim lit room
>"What is this place?"
It's Anon's house. We have to find a way to Sweetie Belle, so look around over there while I look here.
>She nods and walks to the other side of the room
>You then turn around and look at the wall
>A broken clock is there on the wall stopped at 12 noon
>Cardboard boxes stack up high in the corners
>There appears to be something black in one corner, so you walk over to check it out
>Try to slide the stack of boxes a little but they all come tumbling down on you
>Applebloom comes running over and helps you up
>"What are ya doin? We're gonna get caught if ya make that much noise!"
>She then walks back to the other side
>You move the boxes away and see a drain in the corner
>It smells bad
>You look down in it but can't see anything since it's dark down there
>Try to pry it open with your teeth but it doesn't work
>There is a box on one side of it with a red light that's on
I wonder what-
>"Ah found somethin!"
>You rush over to her and see her looking at a hole in the wall
Great job Applebloom! I'll go first okay?
>She nods and you squeeze into the hole
>It barely fits you, but appears to continue on to a small light source
>Crawl a little then speak
You coming?
>"Ah...Ah don't want to..."
What do you mean?
>"Ah'm...cl...clust..."
Claustrophobic?
>"Y-Yeah..."
Applebloom, it's okay. If I can fit so can you. And we'll go fast okay?
>It is silent
Applebloom, you there?
>"R-Right behind you."
Okay. Be quiet, we don't know what will be there when we come out.
>Continue on in silence until you get to the end of it
>Pop out of the hole and wait for Applebloom to come through
>She pulls herself out and shivers
>You wrap her in a hug and she cries a little
>There is a door that a sliver of light comes under the crack of, allowing you to see
>"Ah don't wanna do that again Scootaloo..."
You won't Applebloom...it's okay...
>"Ah just-what is that?"
>You let go of each other and look over to the corner
>Familiar shapes are piled up there
>"Are those...limbs?"
>Slowly approach it
>A roach crawls out from under it
AAAAAAHH-
>Applebloom covers your mouth with a hoof
>The sound of footsteps is heard again
>"Quick! We have to hide!"
>She dives into the body parts and pokes her head out
>"Come on! Hide!"
>You stay there frozen in terror from the thought of jumping in the pile of dead parts
>Then the steps get louder and you run over and jump in with her
>She pulls you deeper inside and then the door swings open
>Both of you remain absolutely quiet
>A few steps are heard, then another swear, and then running away
>But the door never shut
>Something snakes around your hoof and you try not to scream out
>Grabbing Applebloom, you head out of the pile
>You throw up on the ground as she pats your back
>"It's okay Scootaloo..."
>Wipe your mouth and stand up straight, facing the door
>You have to be strong for your friends right now
Let's go.
>Sneak out of the door and poke your head left
>Seems to be a kitchen
>With Applebloom holding your hoof, you creep that way
>He's not here
Okay Applebloom...find us something sharp to protect us.
>She nods and pulls a chair over the counter
>And then you hear a voice
>"What do you mean you lost them?!"
>Miss Cheerilee's voice
>"I JUST FUCKING TOLD YOU, THEY AREN'T THERE!"
>And Anon's
>Oh no
>You quickly hide under the sink
>"Oh my Anon...looks like we found one."
>The screams of Applebloom are cut short
>You are completely silent and still and you hear the hoof steps and footsteps leave the area
>Why did this have to happen?!
>Now you're going to die here!
>A few tears stream down your face
>Your friends are probably gone now, and you're next!
>No...keep it together girl...you can do this
>Slowly, you push the door of the sink open
>It is empty once again
>Quickly, you get onto the chair and grab a knife from the drawer Applebloom opened
>Hold it against your body with a wing and then go back to the hallway you came from
>The other direction is the living room
>You slowly walk in there and hide behind the couch
>Your hoof brushes against something under it and a rumbling noise is heard
>The wall that looked normal has flipped around
>The sounds of walking are heard again so you run into the space the room has shown you
>It turns back around and you are now facing a spiral staircase down
>Careful not to fall or make too much noise, you descend the stairs
>You come to a cobblestone room lit by a blue flame hanging from the ceiling
>There is an oven on one side of the room and a metal door on the other side
>Approach the door and touch it
>Then retract your hoof immediately because it's really cold
>Must be a freezer
>You bite down on the handle to it and turn
>It opens in and you walk inside
>The scene before you is grotesque
>Fillies and colts are in rows, hanging from hooks
>All have no legs, only the body and head
>Frozen pools of blood are underneath them
>It's so cold you can see your own breath
>Shivering, you walk down the middle just looking at all of them
>There's Twist...
>And Snails
>Even...Pipsqueak?
>He was new here too...he didn't deserve this...nop0ny does
>And even though you didn't get along very well, when you pass Diamond Tiara you still feel bad
>Weren't they on a field trip?
>A light cough is heard
>Your head snaps to the source of the noise
Sweetie Belle!
>Rush over to her
>"H-Hey...Scootaloo..."
>She looks very discolored and pale
>And she is missing the same limbs as the others
>"Where...Where is..."
Applebloom got caught...
>You hang your head a little
>"Scootaloo...back there..."
>She nods her head to the door on the other side of the freezer
>"I saw him...put in a code...for a safe..."
What was it?
>"1...2...1...9"
1219! Got it! Be right back Sweetie Belle, just hold on!
>You run over to the door and nudge it open because it was already open a crack
>There is a big safe there with a pad big enough for a hoof to press the buttons
>A big red light is above it
>You push in
>1
>2
>1
>9
>The red light turns green and it opens out
>You back up and it opens up to show a second room
Wha?
>Before venturing forward, you decide it would be a good idea to check back with Sweetie
>Head back in the freezer and walk to her
>She isn't moving
Sweetie?
>No breath can be seen coming from her mouth
No...Sweetie Belle...
>You fall to the floor crying for the untimely death of your friend
>A few minutes of mourning pass and you stand once again
>Have a moment of silence for Sweetie Belle
>And then go back into that room and walk into the safe
>Go through it and down the metal stairs into a normal room
>There are stairs with a bright light coming from up there
>Maybe that's outside!
>You rush up them and nudge the cellar door
>The sounds of chains confirm it is locked
Darn it...
>How are you going to save Applebloom?
>You look down to the knife you hold with your wing
>Not sure if you would actually be able to do it when the time comes...
>"Scootaloo~"
>The sound of Miss Cheerilee's voice hits your ears and you run down the stairs to find a hiding spot
>"Where are yooouuu~"
>Crawl over to the corner and hope that the darkness will help you hide from her
>When you sit however, it makes a noise that she turns to
>"There you are..."
>Look to the wall to the right and see a vent cover
>Kick it as hard as you can and it falls in
>Then you jump in there as fast as you can
>And crawl
>Something grabs your hoof and starts pulling you back
>"Oh no you don't!"
>She's pulling you out of the vent and there's nothing you can do!
>The sheer terror you are in right now as you scream and kick at her makes you pee
>Your yellow fluid splashes Cheerilee in the face, making her lose her grip on you
>Quickly you crawl away still sniveling
>Until you get to a part where the vent goes up
>Then you sit there and cry for a while
>Why did this have to happen to you?
>You and your friends just wanted some ice cream...
>And this happened...
>A clank noise occurs
>Looking up towards the sound, you see a hoof standing on the vent
>It's Miss Cheerilee's hoof
>"What do you mean she got away?!"
>Screams Anon
>"Look, it wasn't my fault she has a weak bladder!"
>"Whatever...this is becoming a stressful enough day for me...oh hey, get this one set up."
>You hear Applebloom's muffled screams as she is thrown to Miss Cheerilee
>Miss Cheerilee leaves and Anon sighs
>Slowly, by putting a hoof on each side of the vent area and pushing up, you climb
>It's hard and you almost slip a few times, but you make it to the top
>Lightly push it up and move it to the side with your head
>Anon is in the kitchen facing away from you rambling about something
>Then you head over to the door and try to open it
>The clank noise it makes because it's locked startles Anon, turning him around
>"Fucking finally!"
>He says as he runs over to you
>You scream and run up the stairs to the right with him in close pursuit
>In your terror you accidentally drop the knife
>Anon steps on it and faceplants on the stairs, allowing you to make it up them faster than him
>All there is up here is 3 doors
>An open one straight down the hall
>And one on each side
>Anon groans and grabs his face
>You decide to go for the one on the left and it is unlocked
>Quietly close it and look around the room
>Pictures of all the fillies and colts in town are there all over the walls
>Some have a blue circle on them, some have red X's, and some have a yellow swirl
>Then the others have nothing
>Sweetie Belle's picture has a blue circle around it
>And Applebloom's has a red X
>That explains Sweetie Belle...
>But Applebloom...
>What are they going to do with her?
>Your train of thought is broken when you hear Anon close the door across the hall and approach the one you're in
>Quickly dive under the bed there and hold your breath
>The door opens and you watch his shoes walk around the bed and then come back
>"Ugh..."
>Then his shoes are still
>...
>Suddenly you feel a hand grab your leg and you buck at it, kicking Anon in the face
>Run out from under the bed and grab jump one of his shoes
>That was a clever trick
>But you can upstage him
>He grabs his bloody nose and heads out of the room
>You hide behind a box in the hall and he runs into the other room looking for you
>Then you throw his shoe down the stairs
>He dashes out and down the stairs
>Then you slip into the room he was just in
>And trip over a wire
>After standing, you follow the wire to the wall
>Your mouth opens at the sight of this
>There are screens all over the walls that show each room
>He could have known where you were the entire time
>You notice a button in the corner
>It's got some weird scribbles on it
>Probably that strange human language
>How do they even use it?
>Bring your hoof over it and look at the wires behind it
>They are connected to the screen so it must do something
>Push it, then watch for changes on the screen
>In the panel that shows the ice cream carriage in the garage, the red light in the corner becomes green and the hatch lifts
>This could be your only way out
>Now you just have to get Applebl-
>"Gotcha!"
>Cheerilee says as she snatches you up
LEMME GO!
>Flailing your arms as she giggles and drags you to the room with the open door
>She brings you into there and you recognize it as a bathroom
>The walls are lined with hooks that hold heads of fillies and colts attached to sticks
>Like lolipops
>She drags you through that room and throws you into a dark one, slamming the door behind her
>You stand and look around
>Can barely see anything but you can hear snivels
Hello?
>"Scootaloo?"
Applebloom? Where are you?
>"Over here..."
>You just walk until you hear her speak again, then change your direction
>"Scoot-Scoot-Scoot-Scoot-"
>The light flips on and you see Applebloom along with a whole bunch of other fillies and colts
>Their insides have been removed and the skin covering their abdomen is gone, showing the expert craftsmanship of these pyschopaths
>Hanging from a string on the inside of Applebloom is a recording device
>"Scoot-Scoot-Scoot-"
No...Applebloom...
>The door opens and Cheerilee grabs you
>"Time to make some shakes!"
NOOO!
>She wrestles you to the ground and then picks you up
>Drags you into the hall again
>You bite down hard on her leg and she screams, releasing you from her grasp
>Take off running for the stairs with her right behind you
>Suddenly Anon pops up from the stairs and you scream and do the only thing you can think of
>Jump
>You jump right over him and flap your wings to try to hover
>It doesn't work
>Go tumbling down the stairs and land on your back
>Anon and Cheerilee laugh as they come down after you
>Somehow you manage to stand up and are a bit dizzy but can still see
>You stumble over to the room with the body parts in it
>And collapse in front of the hole
>Turn around and see Anon coming after you
>It sends a burst of adrenaline through your body to sprint into the hole again
>You squeeze through that thing way faster than before and pop out in the garage again
I...I did it!
>You take a moment to catch your breath
>And then head over to the corner to see the thing has opened
>Look down
>It has to be an exit, where else would it go?
>After a moment of silence for Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, you jump down into it

>You are Anon
>"She just jumped in."
I know, bitch.
>"Fuck you."
>Flip up the box and push the button
>The lid closes and the blades on the walls and floor of the pod begin to spin
>Once everything in there has been turned into a thick creamy substance, it is sent along the underground pipelines to the second freezer room
>This is where flavoring is added, it is shaped into different forms of "Ice cream," and it is preserved
>You turn to Cheerilee and fist bump her
Ready?
>"Yeah. I'll fill up the carriage."
>She kisses you on the cheek and head downstairs to load it up
>Then you go down after she is done and start it up
>...
>All the ponies are still at the town square where they are holding a discussion about the missing fillies and colts
>Cheerilee makes her appearance on the stage saying that she noticed that less and less of her higher grade students were showing up
>Questions are asked to her but when they get too close to getting any real info from her, she bursts into tears and is lead away by Mayor Mare
>And she smiles to you as she leaves, her wink letting you know to go
>You drive around the town with the music on
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzodaDCD798
>A few fillies run up and you slow to a stop
>They all ask for the same thing
>"Chocolate shake!"
Alright girls, hold on.
>You reach back into the freezer and pull up three cups of chocolately sweetness
>Then put a straw in each one and hand them all to them
>"Thank you Anon!"
>They say in unison
Come again!
>Ride back home with a smile on your face
