The Hauntfest Maze

"Blair blair blair!"

"You know he never actually said that right?"

"You're just a joy kill."

"Come on Spike, at least I'm honest."

"Whatever Sunset, I look awesome and you know it!"

"Ha oh yea Spike those fangs and the cape are like the real thing."

"Dears will you please stop arguing? I simply can not work with all of the negativity." A white unicorn with a curly purple mane complained to the pair while she was trying to customize a Nightmare Night costume for Twilight. "But honestly Spikey Wikey, we do have to find a much more fitting costume for you."

"Heh, if you say so Rarity"

"Suck up"

"Shut up"

"Spike!" Twilight stepped out of the dressing room in Raritys' Boutique; "Watch your language" she chided, much to Sunset's content. "And you stop provoking him."

"But Twilight whatever have I done?" Sunset snickered as she watch Rarity make a few changes to Twilight's warrior costume.

"Sunset dear you're up after Applejack and I'm sure Twilight will be more than happy to give you a lecture on it while she waits for you" Rarity chimed in.

"Hey Spike I'm sorry your Dracula outfit is totally awesome"

"Wow congratulations, you have earned the medal for the most sarcastic pony in existence" The dragon huffed as he crossed his arms.

Sunset looked horrified, "A medal!? I should be getting a trophy! What I do takes serious skill."

"Seriously?" The little dragon was not amused.

"Ha much as I love talking to you erm 'Spikey Wikey'" The red and orange Alicorn smirked "I should see how Indigo and the others are."

Rarity looked up from her work at Sunset "Don't be too long dear, I simply can not design you a costume without you here."

"I'll be back soon, don't worry." Sunset answered as she trotted up to Twilight to give her a quick kiss.

Rarity jumped in front of Twilight "Ah ah ah, no back off of my masterpiece! You can kiss her all you want after my costume is off."

Sunset chuckled, "Okay okay, bye Rarity, bye Twilight and bye Spikey Wikey" The Alicorn grinned and forced the grumpy dragon into a hug.

"Get off me!!"

Sunset pulled a face of fake hurt and trotted out of Raritys' Boutique. "Awwww"

As Sunset walked down from the Boutique everypony she walked past gave her a smile and a wave, making her grin at how far she'd come since that very first day of coming home. She trotted up to Twilight's castle while she thought about the memories that seemed like they were made yesterday, when really it was moons ago.

Sunset opened the castle doors and trotted to the main hall to be greeted with the image of her very bored looking Sunny Flare, Indigo Zap, Sugar Coat, Sour Sweet and Diamond Dust listening to a Draconequus while Rainbow Dash was laughing hysterically in the air.

"Oh yay finally somepony that can give us answers" A pink and green earth pony walked up to Sunset "You'e useless Discord." She snarled back.

"I disagree Sour Sweet, you're just stupid." Discord huffed as he crossed his arms and looked away.

"Excuse me?" She replied in a bitterly cold voice.

"It's all arguments today isn't it?" Sunset chuckled. "What we're you trying to explain Discord?"

"I was just innocently passing by the castle after tea with Fluttershy and I thought 'Hey why not pay Sunset and Twilight a visit? They are after all some of my bestest friends" Discord explained as he hugged two plushes that looked like Sunset and Twilight.

"Gee thanks Di -"

"So me being the most caring friend; I was on my way to the castle and then I bumped into this one" Discord pointed to Rainbow "Who asked me where I was going, I used the lessons Applejack herself taught me and I was brutally honest, which wound up with her following me somehow.... anyway in the castle we found these ponies here dressing up for Nightmare Night but only they were calling it 'Halloween'." Discord frowned, "I told them there was no such thing as Halloween and then they started asking me all these questions, It's no surprise I was overwhelmed" A fainting couch appeared and Discord dropped onto it.

"Sunset what is Nightmare Night?" Sunny Flare asked.

"It's like a more chilled out Halloween." Sunset replied simply.

"BORRRING" Indigo snapped, "You have no Halloween here? No Hauntfest Maze Competition? No special effects? Nothing!?"

"The apple family does maze that's sorta like that......No special effects or really scary stuff though. This is more of a holiday for the kids." Sunset stated.

Indigo rolled her eyes "Ugh how can you be in a world of magic and not have special effects???"

Rainbow landed next to Sunset "S-special effects? What are those? And what in the hay is a Hantfest Maze?"

"Something that made decorations more.....scary I guess. It would be things like sharp flashing lights to make something more scary, smoke to add effect and holograms to make things appear and the Hauntfest  Maze Competition was basically another time that Canterlot high and Crystal Prep came together and tried to scare the other school using a maze. Each school would have a maze and used special effects to make it as scary as can be in order to 'out - scare' the other team." Sunset smiled, "It was quite fun actually."

Rainbow flew up into the air "That sounds AWESOME!! We have GOT to try that here!"

"Didn't Sunset say it was a holiday for kids?, Why would we make a maze like that just to end up giving kids nightmares?" Diamond Dust spoke up.

"What's wrong with a good Nightmare?" Discord grinned.

Rainbow Dash thought for a minute "All the filly's go in at about 8, why don't we do it after then? Sunset can create those special effect thingys with her horn. Or whatever they're made with."

"That doesn't sound like a good idea, what mazes would we even use?" Sunset discouraged as she listened to Rainbow's idea.

"If we split into two teams, my team could use Applejacks' maze and the other team could use the maze Discord used to tear me and my friends apart" Rainbow glared at Discord.

"Remember Dashie, I'm reformed" A fake halo appeared on top of Discord and ridiculously big angel wings sprouted from his back.

"Whatever..." The Pegasus rolled her eyes.

Diamond Dust perked up "That sounds like an awesome idea! At least this Nightmare Night wont be so lame"

"OOOOO and Who will the teams be?" Discord grinned.

"Well that's obvious, Rainbow's team will be Twilgiht, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Discord. My team will be Diamond Dust, Sunny Flare, Sugar Coat, Sour Sweet and Indigo Zap." Sunset started;

"Hey why do I get the Draconequus?"

"Will Fluttershy be able to make it then?"

"Probably not, but she might be able to help with making the maze!" Rainbow countered.

"Okay then if Fluttershy can make it, Discord can be a judge."

Discord appeared behind Sunset in something Sunset would assume was a judges' costume. "I shall do my best,"

"If it keeps him outta my team, I'm in" Rainbow beamed as she turned towards the door, "I'll go tell the others! This is gonna be awesome." She grinned as she flew out the door.
