Halloween: The True Story

The next morning, Surprise flew to the clouds as soon as she woke up.

"Hey, Surprise! What're you doing up so soon?" Tickle, a pink pegasus, asked.

Surprise didn't answer. She had to find the perfect cloud to zap Glory's hide with.

"Uh... Surprise? Hello?" Tickle asked, waving a hoof in front of her friend's face.

"Oh! Tickle, hi!" Surprise said to her friend. "I need to find the zap-iest cloud in the sky!"

"O... Kay!" Tickle said, not quite comprehending the plan.

The two Pegasi flew around, jumping on every cloud and testing how electric they were.

"This one! It's the best!" Surprise said cheerfully.

Tickle was charred and burnt from the zap of the cloud. It probably was best to stop here.

"Now, we need to rig up the chocolate rain!" Surprise smiled. She flew off to find some chocolate milk.

Chocolate rain? Tickle thought. What next?

"Ok, my faithful pranking partner!" Surprise smiled to Tickle.

Is it just me, or does Surprise seem... off? Tickle thought as she listened to Surprise's plan.

Apparently the mares were going to replace all the water in the castle sprinkler systems with chocolate milk, which Tickle would set off as soon as she heard the lightning bolt. It all seemed pretty advanced for seemingly dumb Surprise to have come up with.

Next, they bought 5 million whoopee cushions, which they would put on every chair at the party. Tickle wondered what all these pranks were for.

"Ok!" Surprise smiled, looking at all the things that she had collected to wreak havoc on Glory's party.

"So... what exactly are you planning to do?" Tickle asked her friend.

"Well, some mysterious pony in an alley told me that Glory is planning to sabotage my costume!" Surprise explained.

Tickle was beginning to rethink her position on the smartness of Surprise.

"And," Surprise continued, "The fillies and colts will love it! Who doesn't love a good prank on Halloween?"

"Well..." Tickle thought. It didn't seem like a bad plan. In fact, it sounded kind of fun! "Sure! But what about Tex?"

"He's in the West, hunting down the literal cat burglar gang, The Claw Clan." Surprise replied.

"Great!" Surprise smiled. "Now we wait for tonight!"

From the shadows, Truly watched with evil delight. Everything was going according to plan.
