The party soon ended and everypony was going home. Pinkie Pie was left to clean the place up. But... Since she's Pinkie Pie, she cleaned the place up faster than you can say the names of the Mane Six. Remy stayed behind to finish a cupcake. "Ready to head back?" A voice asked. Remy turned his head and saw Spitfire approaching him. "I know you've been gone to Canterlot for months and I figured that you should come back to Cloudsdale. The Pegasus ponies do love your company there."

"I was actually considering on going" he said. "Matter of fact... Yeah, I'll go" he said. Spitfire nodded and stroke his face with her hoof. "You never did let me leave your sight ever since I was your partner for training the pegasi to be better flyers" he joked.

"When do you plan on coming back?" She asked.

"Tomorrow or maybe the day after." He did the movements to the Pinkie Promise. Spitfire tilted her head and stared at him, confusingly. "Don't worry about it" Remy said.

"Ok..." She said, still confused by the actions. She cleared her throat. "So it's official then?" She asked.

"Yeah" Remy said. "Either tomorrow or the day after. Count on that" he said. Spitfire left the building and took flight. Remy finished his cupcake and tossed the wrapper in the trash. He went outside and walked down the street with Spitfire in his mind, and the fact that he was going back to Cloudsdale." But the thought was interrupted when the ground in front of him popped open like a trapdoor.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" He gasped. The head of the giant spider popped out of the dark pit and clicked its pincers together. "Oh shit!" Remy screamed. Before he could run, the spider grasped him with its forelegs, pinning him to the ground. It then started dragging him into the trapdoor. "No, no, no, no!" Remy screamed as he neared the pit. He screamed in fear as he was yanked into the hole the spider dug, the trapdoor snapping shut afterwards.

Jack was walking down another part of Ponyville whistling to himself. He thought he heard something, stopped, and turned around. He shrugged and continued whistling. Suddenly, someone whistled back. Jack stopped and looked around. The unknown figure whistled the tune of 'Pop Goes the Weasel'. Jack begun running as fast as he could but he couldn't escape the whistled tune of the children's song coming after him. He ended up in a deserted area of Ponyville, the whistling drawing closer. In front of him was a large funhouse. The carnival-like music inside was also playing the same song as the whistling noise. With nowhere to run or hide, Jack hurried over to the fun house and went inside. The whistling got closer and closer and the clown stepped out if a dark corner, grinning eerily. "Pop" he sang as he whipped out a large dagger from his sleeve. "Goes the weasel" he sang. He continued to whistle the song as he approached the fun house, dagger in his hand. With a white gloved hand, he opened the door, stepped inside the dark building, and closed the door.

Chase and Princess Twilight were sharing a moment under the moonlit sky of Ponyville. Unaware to them, somewhere in the same area as them, Flutterbat and I were sharing a moment together in one of the trees. Just like them, we didn't know that Chase and Princess Twilight were in the same area as us.

"I'm tired hiding the fact that you accepted my proposal" Chase said.

"Me too" she agreed.

"Tomorrow, can I propose to you in front of everypony, knowing deep down we are already engaged?"

"Yes" she answered with a smile. Chase caressed her face as Princess Twilight pressed her hoof against his hand. The two leaned forward and shared a kiss. Suddenly, a noise startled them. "What was that?" She asked.

"I don't know" Chase whispered. The noise came again and it was coming from the woods. The two approached the woods and entered it. Princess Twilight lit her horn with her magic like a lantern. The noise was a strange clicking sound. Like two blocks of wood being knocked together. Chase felt Princess Twilight move closer to him. The two of them begun to shiver with fear. "Stay close" he whispered. There was no reply. "Twilight?" He asked. Again, he got no reply. "Twilight?"

"No" a high pitched voice said. Chase spun around but didn't see anyone or anything. "Down here" the voice said. Chase looked down and saw the stringless marionette. "Hi" it chirped. It tripped Chase to the ground, jumped up on his chest, and knocked him out by punching him the face with its wooden hand.

Flutterbat and I were walking through the streets of Ponyville now. "I um..." I said nervously. "Had a nice time." Flutterbat hissed softly as she hovered next to me. "With the apples and all.." I laughed just as nervous as the way I talked to her. 'God you're such a stupid ass' I thought to myself. I felt a hoof lightly touch my hand. I glanced down and then back up. Flutterbat stared at me in a caring-like manner. Her vampiric red eyes mesmerized me so much. I couldn't take it anymore. We both leaned forward to kiss. Suddenly, two black tendrils lashed out. One wrapped itself around Flutterbat's chest and the other, around neck. Both tendrils yanked her back. "Hey!" I cried out. I gasped when the tendrils yanked her into the arms of Slender. "No..." I said with horror. Quick as a flash, Slender charged at me and backhanded me so hard, I fell unconscious. The last thing I heard was the shriek of Flutterbat.
