________________________
(MUSICAL NOTE, CUPCAKE SPRINKLES, and KING LIFELINE arrive at a house in an ordinary looking neighborhood. The house was a blueish violet with a wooden door and light blue roof. It didn't have any front yard, but it was one of the most compact neighborhoods in the whole city according to KING LIFELINE.)

King Lifeline: Welcome to your home, little ponies.😌

Cupcake Sprinkles (thinking): Stop calling me little!😤

King Lifeline: Have no worries about the ponies around you. This house has sat vacant for quite some time.😌

Musical Note (thinking): And now I can cross eliminating all worry of revenge thirsty homeowners killing me in my sleep off my bucket list.😉

King Lifeline: I hope you enjoy your time here, even if it doesn't last forever. Now I have some royal business to do back at the castle.😌

(KING LIFELINE walks away and most of the crowd follows, leaving MUSICAL NOTE and CUPCAKE SPRINKLES to their own devices. CUPCAKE SPRINKLES proceeds to walk inside the house. MUSICAL NOTE is about to follow her in, until another young filly grabs her attention.)

Young Filly 2: Uh, e-excuse me?🙂

(MUSICAL NOTE turns around to see a white pegasus filly with pink eyes and a red mane looking up at her.)

Young Filly 2: Uh, I-I just wanted to let you know tha-that your story i-is my favoritest one ever.🙂

Musical Note: Uh, thank you. Now don't you go dying on me, you promise?🙁

Young Filly 2: Okay! That's an impossible promise to break anyway.😄

(YOUNG FILLY 2 runs quickly to catch up to the crowd, while MUSICAL NOTE goes inside the house, seeing CUPCAKE SPRINKLES sitting on the couch completely relaxed.)

Musical Note: *giggles* I see you've settled in already.😊

Cupcake Sprinkles: Yep.😄

Musical Note: I think I'm gonna look around the house before I settle down. Don't want us walking into a brick wall or something.😉

Cupcake Sprinkles: Okay, I'll just be resting here on the couch if you need me.😁

(MUSICAL NOTE starts walking past the couch and CUPCAKE SPRINKLES, making her way to a nearby door. When MUSICAL NOTE opens it, she finds a dining room with a large opening in the wall leading to the kitchen. It is under the dining room table that MUSICAL NOTE sees a small box with little holes in the side and a paper on top.)

Musical Note: Huh? Did someone leave a box here when they moved out?😕

(MUSICAL NOTE, peaked with curiosity, decides to investigate the small box. As she gets closer, she sees that the paper has some writing on it, but she doesn't think of reading it just then. After she sets the box on the table, MUSICAL NOTE decides to peek inside one of the small holes in the box. After a few seconds, MUSICAL NOTE jumps back and screams quietly in shock as she sees a small green eye staring back at her.)

Musical Note: Wha-is something in there?😯

(MUSICAL NOTE goes back to the box and, curious about what she just saw, decides to read the paper taped onto the top of the box. The more she reads, the more saddened she becomes. By the time she's finished reading it, she has fallen on the floor crying. The paper she read was a letter from supposedly whatever was in the box's previous owner, and this is what MUSICAL NOTE saw on the letter.)
