The Hauntfest Maze

At Sweet Apple Acres

"So wait, ya'll wanna use my family's maze so you can do some competition? And you want me to help you in this competition? I don't know if it's such a good idea RD" Apple Jack said after hearing Rainbows' plan.

"Eyup" Big Mac agreed with his sister as he helped stack hay bales to make the family maze.

"Oh come on Apple Jack, it's a harmless little competition, what could go wrong?" Rainbow grinned at her friend.

"Well don't get me started...."

"I won't, come on AJ you love a competition, we get a chance to scare the hay outta those Crystal Prep ponies."

Applejack looked suspiciously at Rainbow, "You're sure its not gonna cause any damage?"

"I can practically garantee it!"

Apple Jack looked at her brother who just shrugged. "Fine Rainbow, I'm in."

"Great! Now we just need to convince the others!" Rainbow Dash grinned as she flew up into the air and did a victory dance.

AJ gave her an odd look. "Wait a minute, ya'll haven't even told the others yet Rainbow?"

Rainbow stopped in mid - dance, "Heh, I thought it would be easier to come to you first, what's the point in breaking it to the others if we don't have a maze."

Apple Jack rolled her eyes; "Fine fine"

At Canterlot Boutique

"Well Dear I simply can not ever dream of ruining these delightful costumes." Rarity argued with Rainbow.

The Pegasus countered: "Oh come on Rarity! This is meant to be Nightmare Night, not a fashion show! It's supposed to be fun! I mean Pinkie and Twilight totally agree with me don't you?" Rainbow turned to the other two ponies.

"YEP YEP YEP! That sounds like a superific idea Dashie! This is gonna be so fun! Almost as fun as the time I threw Twilight the surprise 'Welcome To Ponyville' party, I mean nothing can be as fun as that because that was just like 'Woah' and it was so totally the best party ever!" Pinkie Pie bounced next to Twilight.

"I think it sounds like a great idea, I'm sure be fun." Twilight agreed a little less enthusiastically than her friend.

Rarity huffed and turned from her friends; "Oh no no no no, I will not ruin this fabulous Mermare costume."

"Oh but Rarity" Applejack chimed in "Sunny Flare is on the other team; but if you don't wanna help us then -"

"Oh...It... Is...ON!!!"

Rainbow grinned, "Looks like we're all in agreement then....all except Fluttershy."

Applejack looked at Rainbow as if she was mad, "Are you kiddin' yourself? That mare ain't gonna come out on a night like this after last year, she don't wanna do Nightmare Night."

"Aaand she won't be, I was going to ask if she could just to help with the maze, she doesn't have do deal with any scary stuff"

"Good Luck tellin' her that..." Applejack frowned.

"Heh don't worry, this is gonna be AWESOME!"

At Twilight's castle

"This is going to be a DISASTER!" Sunset groaned as she paced around the throne room; "Something is going to go wrong, I just know it."

"Don't worry Sunset, this is gonna be harmless, you've just gotta let loose a little. You're being weird" Diamond Dust chuckled and stuck her tongue out at Sunset as she lazed on Rainbow's throne.

"Pfft excuse me? I am not being weird and are you sure you're allowed up there?"

Diamond just waved her off; "Yea yea me and Dashie get long just fine."

Sunset gave her a blank look "Yea I am sure she totally forgot about the time you- "

"Come on Sunset you need to loosen up, our team is waiting for us to help with ideas for the maze over at the Canterlot Gardens' maze." Diamond interrupted as she spread her wings and flew towards the door. "Everything will be fine, just sit back and enjoy the roller coaster." The Pegasus muttered as she flew out.

"I hope you're right." Sunset whispered as she took of and flew beside her friend.

The blue and white Pegasus rolled her eyes. "Oh come on Sunset, when haven't I been right? This is going to be tonnes of fun and It'll all work out."

"How are you so sure? We've got Sunny Flare and Rarity up against each other not to mention you and Indigo Zap annoying Rainbow Dash."

"What can I say? Rainbow's a little up herself and I am happy to wind her up about it." The Pegasus giggled, "Okay maybe I am a little harsh on the pony. But seriously; what's the worst that could happen with Rarity and Flare? What are they gonna do angry put makeup on each other and then agree on how 'fabulous this emerald green is'." Dust imitated Rarity's glamours voice sarcastically. "Like I say, it's like a roller coaster, you can't stop it midway; you just have to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Sunset looked down on the streets of Ponyville to see all of the little fillies running around looking for the perfect costume. "Maybe you're right, Nightmare Night is only in a few days."

Dust smirked and bumped Sunset "Exactly! So we best start on this maze, we are so gonna win!"

Sunset bumped Dust back, "You are so weird."

"Some of these ponies are weird."

Sunset just chuckled.
