Whaehonah and Starlight Glimmer arrived at Sunny Town, but before Starlight could get out of the car, Whaehonah stopped her.

“Wait Starlight, before you get out, I need to ask you if you can go into that store and get me a few more cartons of cigarettes in this saddle bag.” She said passing her saddle bag to Starlight

“Sure, I don’t know why you want to smoke cigarettes though.” Starlight said taking the bag

Starlight Glimmer got out of the car and walked towards the old store, while Whaehonah stayed in the car and chain smoked cigarettes like there was no tomorrow. A sudden crash and blasts of magic erupted from the store as Whaehonah went to get another cigarette from her pack. Whaehonah got out of the car and flew into the store, but all she saw was a big mess and Starlight emptying the cigarette shelves in a big hurry.

“What happened Starlight? I heard a lot of noise coming from in here.” She asked

“Let’s just get back to your car and get out of here.” Starlight said as she got the last of the tobacco products in the bag

They got back to the car and Starlight floored the pedal. Whaehonah didn’t think that Starlight could drive her car but it turns out that she had watched Whaehonah and knew what to do.

“What happened Starlight?” Whaehonah asked

“I’ll tell you when we get back to Ponyville.” Starlight said as she slowed the car down

“Well just take us back to Twilight’s castle” Whaehonah responded

The drive back to Ponyville was quick and Starlight brought the car to a skidding halt when they arrived at Twilight’s castle. The commotion got Twilight’s attention and she came running out.

“What in Celestia’s name happened to you two?” Twilight asked as Starlight and Whaehonah got out of the car

“Twilight, do you have any information on a town called Sunny Town?” Starlight asked in a shaky voice

“I do, but it’s beyond anything I’ve read in the horror genre.” She answered

“Let me see the book.” Starlight requested

“You look too” Twilight said before being cut off

“Give me the book Twilight!” Starlight demanded

“Alright! I’m warning you though, it’s nothing like anything in the” Twilight said being cut off again

“Horror genre, I get it.” Starlight said before opening the book

Starlight began reading the book, Whaehonah hovered above Starlight to read it herself. As Starlight read through the book, she noticed a page that had been marked on. The markings were not ponish, they weren’t even symbols of ancient writing, it seemed like they were marked to cover this section of the book.

“Twilight, do you think you could try and look past these markings?” Starlight asked

“I really don’t want to read that book again.” Twilight replied

“It’s just one page Twilight, I just need you to try and see through the markings.” Starlight explained

While Starlight was trying to get Twilight to read the page, Whaehonah decided to try and read it.

“Marks covered them, they had to die so that we wouldn’t.” Whaehonah managed to read

Both Twilight and Starlight looked at Whaehonah with shocked expressions.

“You can read that?” Twilight asked

“It’s pretty hard because of the heavy scribbles, but at least the scribbles are red.” She replied

“Well, finish it, I have a quill and paper ready.” Twilight responded

“The marks seemed to turn them into puppets, forcing them to perform each thing that they showed, it was obviously a curse. We thought we did everything right, but the marks began appearing on them twice one by one. They had to die, we couldn’t let it spread. I’m the last one, hopefully I can hold out long enough to finish.” She read

“Finish what?” Twilight asked

“That’s where it ends.” She replied

“Well at least I have the page written here, I don’t understand why these ponies would consider cutie marks a curse.” Said Twilight

“It mentioned marks appearing all over their bodies, but I’ve only ever seen them on ponies’ flanks, and it was just one of the same thing on each side. So I think this was something else.” Whaehonah said pointing at the page

“Cutie pox. It was the cutie pox!” Twilight exclaimed

Whaehonah then got an idea. She went back to the car and drove off back to Povania. The hope was that she could put an end to the haunting and have another town to hang out in. She just needed to find a book on how to get rid of these spirits, so she figured that since Sunny Town was super old, the library in Povania would have a book on how to get rid of the haunting. On her way to Povania, Whaehonah noticed a familiar pony walking into the thicker parts of the forest. It was a white stallion that she remembered seeing years ago, she remembered seeing two fillies with him and then hearing the screaming of fillies coming from an old house in the same direction. Whaehonah floored the pedal and sped in the direction of the pony, once he was in her sight, she ran him down then turned the car around and ran him down again, but she wasn’t done there, Whaehonah backed the car over the pony before running him down forward again. She got out of the car to see her work, the pony was only alive by a thread and managed to speak three words

“Please, have, mercy.” The pony said in a weak voice

“Mercy? Mercy? After what you did, there’s no mercy. Now, let’s see how you like being eaten.” Whaehonah said before digging in

The pony could only cry softly before dying of his injuries and blood loss from Whaehonah eating his flesh. After Whaehonah had eaten the last of the pony, she carried the bones and put them in the back of the car. Whaehonah then looked up towards the trail and saw another familiar pony. It was Pinkie Pie.

“Whaehonah?” Pinkie said in shock

“Pinkie Pie, I can explain.” She responded

Pinkie didn’t give Whaehonah any time to speak and ran off. Whaehonah flew after her, Pinkie was fast but Whaehonah managed to catch up to her.

“Pinkie please, you have to listen to me.” Whaehonah begged

“Don’t eat me, please.” Pinkie begged

“I’m not going to, I just need to explain myself before you say anything.” She said

“Alright, I’ll hear you out.” Said Pinkie

The two mares sat down on the front of the car, Whaehonah lit up a cigarette and had a few puffs before telling Pinkie Pie what her motive was.

“That pony was actually a criminal, a cannibal who lured two fillies into his house years ago and killed them.” She explained

“What was his cutie mark?” Pinkie asked

“Huh, what?” She asked

“What was his cutie mark?” Pinkie asked a second time

“Three red balloons. Why?” She responded

“I know him.” Said Pinkie

Whaehonah didn’t expect Pinkie to know this horrible pony.

“You know that psycho?!” Whaehonah said in surprise

“Yes, he ponynapped me and my sister years ago.” Pinkie explained

“Were you that pink filly I saw being led into that house?” She asked

“Was the other filly grey?” Pinkie asked

“Yes.” She replied

“Were you the one who called the guards?” Pinkie asked

“No, I was a filly myself, but there was an older grey mare in the woods who must have seen him.” She explained

“Well, although I don’t like the way you did it, I’m glad he’s gone.” Pinkie said, looking into the back of the car

“I only wanted him to suffer for what he had done.” She said lighting another cigarette before getting back in the car

“Hey Whaehonah, do you mind giving me a ride back to Ponyville?” Pinkie asked

“Sure.” Whaehonah said motioning to the other side of the car

The entire drive back to Ponyville, Pinkie Pie couldn’t shut up, she was on a roll talking about random things. Whaehonah just put her window down and lit another cigarette and continued the drive.

“Whaehonah, you missed the turn into Ponyville.” Said Pinkie

“I know, I need to get something from Canterlot.” She replied

“Oh oh, what is it?” Pinkie said in her overly excited tone

“I need to get a book on the paranormal.” She responded

“Going on a ghost hunt? Oh can I come? Can I can I?” Pinkie asked

“No, there’s an abandoned town in the ever free forest that I want to scrounge through and it’s extremely haunted, so I want to bless it and get rid of the spirits.” She explained

“Sunny Town? Why would you even go there, it’s horrifying?.” Said Pinkie

Whaehonah didn’t even bother asking how Pinkie knew about the town.

“I want to look around for cool vintage stuff, but I can’t do that without being attacked by spirits right now.” She replied

“I understand, I’ll help you look if you want me to.” Pinkie said

“Sure, the sooner I find something the better.” She responded before speeding up

Whaehonah drove through the gates of Canterlot and headed straight for Canterlot library, Pinkie Pie still going on about random things the whole trip. Whaehonah finally pulled up to the library and got out of the car and went inside, she hadn’t been inside the door for three seconds and she heard the car horn honking. She bolted out to see Pinkie playing with the car horn.

“Wow, that’s loud but fun! It sounds like my party horns but deeper and louder.” Pinkie said as she continued to honk the horn while laughing

“PINKIE PIE!!!” Whaehonah yelled out

“Yes.” Pinkie said looking at Whaehonah

“Will you please stop playing with the horn?” She asked

“Sure, but it’s so much fun.” Said Pinkie

“I’ll see if my brother has any more of them, but would you kindly stop playing with this one.? We are near a library after all.” She asked

“Alright.” Pinkie said with a smile

Whaehonah walked back into the library and asked the desk pony if they had any books on the paranormal. The desk pony nodded and showed her to the row. Whaehonah wasn’t really surprised that they didn’t have many books on the topic, since hauntings weren’t really common. As she was going through the books, Whaehonah found two books that described the same events that her and Starlight experienced.
Whaehonah brought the books to the desk pony to check them out. Once she had the books, she walked back to the car, got in and left for Ponyville to drop Pinkie off.

“Did you find anything?” Pinkie asked

“Yes, I’m ready to go back to the town and do battle.” She replied

“Battle?” Pinkie asked

“The book talks about spiritual battle, usually if spirits are violent, you will have to fight them, it also says that it’s a good idea to have a unicorn on your side.” Whaehonah explained

“Well I know three unicorns. Well actually two unicorns and an alicorn but you get the idea.” Pinkie said spastically

“Starlight, Rarity and Twilight, I know. I’m gonna ask Twilight and Starlight since they both should know what to do.” She replied

Whaehonah dropped Pinkie off at the place called Sugarcube Corner and went back to Twilight’s castle get her and Starlight so that she would at least have some kind of magical advantage over the situation. As soon as she got to the castle, Whaehonah noticed that Starlight was being hauled away in a medical cart. She got out of the car and ran up to the med pony who was currently questioning Twilight about the situation.

“What happened? Is Starlight okay?” She asked

“Miss Glimmer had a melt down and was screaming about a green mare attacking her during her nap.” Said the med pony

“A green mare? Did she describe what the mare looked like?” She asked

“She said the pony had no eyes and an endless void for a mouth. Which is very interesting, so we’re gonna be treating her for hallucinations.” The med pony replied

“Does this fit her description?” Whaehonah said giving the med pony a picture of the mare in question

The med pony’s eyes widened when he saw the picture and immediately changed the chart to a case of post traumatic stress disorder.

“Okay, this I didn’t expect. Where was this taken?” Said the med pony

“A town in the forest.” She replied

The med pony gave Whaehonah a look that spelled out an answer.

“You’ve been there haven’t you?” Twilight asked

“Yes, when I was a colt and I was lucky to get away with my life.” Said the med pony

“Well, I hope you can help Starlight.” Said Twilight

“We’ll do what we can.” Said the med pony as he got into a cab and left

Whaehonah grabbed the books out of her car and went inside the castle to talk to Twilight.

“Twilight, if you’re not too busy, I need your help.” She said as she walked into the throne room

“How can I help you?” Twilight asked

“Since you’re an alicorn, you can help me with Sunny Town, I have a couple books that tell how to successfully get rid of this type of haunting.” She explained

Twilight gave Whaehonah a strange look but decided to listen.

“Go on.” Twilight replied

“These two books say that I need a unicorn assistant due to the fact that I’m a pegasus and since I’m down one option, I need you.” She explained again

Twilight was not crazy about the idea of going back to that town, but if it meant that other ponies who stumble upon it wouldn’t be in danger, she was willing to help.

“I will help you get rid of the hauntings, but when we’re done there, I want you to come back to the school and learn some more.” Said Twilight

“Fine, let’s do it.” She agreed

Twilight gathered some supplies and Whaehonah went back to the car and waited. Twilight walked out and Whaehonah motioned for her to get in the car. Twilight got in and they made their way to Sunny Town to put an end to this situation once and for all.

Author's Note

I’m still not taking credit for Sunny Town. Whaehonah’s snooping just happened to bring her there in her story.
