A new friendship problem is brought to Twilight and her friends, but why now, and why is this family crazy?! Plus what is to come of Pugsley's Mazurka?!

Right before we start!

This takes place after S9 Ep26...give or take a few years. Do note this is my first mlp crossover fan fiction and everyone's personalities may not stick, as well as speech, Like Applejack's country dialect and Rainbow Dashes ego. Plus the Addams family themselves are a mishmash of all except the cartoon version...because I never watched it before (They are also ponified if you wanted to know). Do hope you enjoy...or not, whatever you prefer.

After being princess of Equestria for years Twilight is called by the map for new friendship problem. She is accompanied by her friends to see what the problem is, but when arriving at their destination the place is creepy, kooky, mysterious, spooky, and all together ooky. What will happen to them and their sanity? Will they go mad, will they enjoy the family's festivity's? Let's just say that Canterlot and Ponyville are in for a shock...literally!

(BTW if you want to know what The Addams Family sound like, think of the 2019 voices that they have, or you can choose what they sound like.)

Ep.1: Creepy and Kooky

It was a quiet day in Equestria, nothing interesting happening in a pony’s view, besides the occasional problem or two. Twilight had just finished a meeting with Ember and Thorax about their own kind attending Twilights school.

“I can assure you again that every creature that attends my school will be fine. There is nothing to worry about and if there are any issues, Starlight and Sunburst will notify me.” said Twilight.

As Ember was going to speak, Thorax spoke “Thank you again Twilight, I can’t thank you enough on how much this means to us.”

“No worries Thorax. Glad I can be of assistance.” Twilight stated.

Thorax and Ember leave Canterlot, and Twilight was left with a positive vibe. Twilight’s guard Gallus then enters the throne room as he was told to wait outside.

“Princess Twilight, may I speak?” Gallus questioned.

“You may Gallus.”

“Your majesty your cutie mark is sparkling. What’s that all about?” Gallus questioned.

“Oh that happens when the cutie map calls for help anywhere there is a friendship problem...wait a minute.” Twilight took a moment to realize the situation. “I thought all problems were solved across Equestria.” as Twilight questioned herself.

“Maybe there are new problems to solve. Princess.” said Gallus.

“Well whatever this problem it is let’s hope it’s not threatening like any of the past adventures I’ve been. Gallus can you watch over the castle while I’m gone?” asked Twilight.

“Will do Princess.” as Gallus left back to his post.

Twilight soon left Canterlot and flew back to her old castle once again. A few minutes pass while flying through the sky and Twilight notices a blue blur pass her, not knowing what just happened Twilight continued flying through the sky. A few more minutes pass again and Twilight drops down to the ground thinking what could the friendship problem be. Twilight walks up to the castle and hears a familiar voice.

“Afternoon Twilight.”

Twilight then turns her head and sees Applejack, accompanied by the rest of her friends Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Spike. The seven of them have a reunion again, and this time she notices that everypony’s cutie marks were glowing, with the exception of Spike in which case his head was glowing.

“It’s wonderful to see everyone again, but I don’t understand I thought all friendship problems were solved.” Twilight stated.

“I think being the Princess of Equestria didn’t solve every problem Twilight.” snickered Rainbow Dash.

“Come’on now sugarcube, we have a problem to fix.” said Applejack.

“This friendship problem has to be big if it called all of us again. I wonder what it is.” as Fluttershy said.

“Well whatever it may be let’s hope it’s nothing too severe. I would hate to ruin my new dress, I wore it for this occasion.” as Rarity points out her new spider silk dress with little rubies attached to the neck of the dress.

The group enters the Castle of Friendship which Starlight and Sunburst now inhabit as their own. They then enter the room where the map lies, and there they see everypony’s cutie marks including Spikes...spikes floating in a location far from Ponyville and near Starlight’s village. They look closer to where the location is and they notice a torn down manor up on a hill.

Twilight estimated the trip and said “I think it’s wise of us to take the chariot to this location.”

“I couldn’t agree more!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

“You sure you don’t want us to take the Friendship Express?” Fluttershy asked.

“It’s fine Fluttershy.” as Twilight reassured her decision.

Hours passed by and the group had arrived near the torn down manor...or at least at the front gate. While Spike was the first to knock at the gate the group notices the area around them, seeing how it doesn’t feel right at all. The grass was dry and the flowers were wilted, the bushes were fine except for their lower color of a green and the fountain leading to the manor was infested with algae and leaves.

Fluttershy whimpers “This place is creepy…” as she shivers in her hooves.

“You mean this place is kooky!” Rainbow Dash exclaims.

“For the most part very mysterious.” Rarity states

“Somewhat spooky.” Applejack says.

“It’s all together ooky!” Pinkie shouts.

“Come on girls, we know better not to judge anyponies way of living. Even if it is strange and deranged…” Twilight exclaimed.

Twilight then saw that Spike had returned from the gate.

“I don’t think anypony is home Twilight. I think we might have missed them.” Spike stated.

As the group took the time to recollect their ideas they heard a loud metallic screech coming from the gate and then they heard gears and a engine coming through. A pair of headlights blind the main seven and Twilight covers her friends with her wings, and right before the mysterious carriage struck them, the thing halted with it’s wheels halting and picking dirt. Twilight uncovered her friends and her eyes from the blinding headlights.

The doors of the carriage open and release purple fumes on doing so. Out of the fumes came out a group of ponies.

“Are you alright?” A female voice asked.

“Yes...yes we are fine...for the most part.” Twilight stated.

“Ah what a relief!” A male voice said.

“Do y'all mind coming into the light? We just want to meet ya.” Applejack stated.

A loud booming groggy voice then replied slowly “OKAY---”

Then Twilight looks in confusion with her friends and they look back at the group of ponies that come out of the purple fog. Out of the fog came out a family. In the front of the family came a male earth pony with a skin tone of light brownish grey with a little mustache, while wearing a blue suit and black tie with a little golden sword attached to the tie. After him came a pale tall slender pegasus with a black dress reaching the ground. After her came a rather pale earth pony with periorbital dark circles under his eyes as well as completely bald, he also wore a rather large trench coat with fur around his neck and golden ghastly buttons on the coat. Then out came a rather old unicorn with uncoordinated eyes both with different colors, while having bags under her eyes, while wearing a multitude of clothing that were ripped, while also having golden jewelry around her neck, with long uncontrolled hair. Then came two small ponies, one a earth and the other a pegasus. The pegasus wore a dark dress and had nooses as pigtails with very pale skin. Then the earth pony while also pale wore a red and white shirt, with little smudges here and there. Then a very tall bulky earth pony came after her, his skin was slightly dark green while wearing a butler suit that seemed a bit big for him.

“Greetings your majesty!” the earth pony exclaimed. “My name is Gomez Addams, and yours?” he asked.

“Twilight Sparkle, and may I get the names of the rest of your...family.” Twilight asked.

“Ah yes, this is my wife Morticia Addams.”

“Charmed.” Morticia stated.

“Our children, Wednesday and Pugsley Addams”

“Hell~o.” Wednesday said eerily.
“Hey!” Pugsley exclaimed.

“My mother.”

“Please...you all can call me Grandmama.” as Grandmama explained.

“Our butler, Lurch.”

As Lurch grunted in response.

“My brother, Fester Addams.”

“Greetings everypony! Did you know we can see right through each other's souls?!” as Fester happily shook everypony's hoof and Spikes claws. After doing so he returned to where he was earlier.

“And finally th-- uh where is…”

Even after Fester’s intense hoof shakes, Fluttershy still felt a tight grip on her hoof. She then looked down on her hoof and saw a disembodied unicorn horn with a grey aura around it with digits to hold Fluttershy’s hoof. She then shrieked and the magic “hand” fell and crawled toward Gomez.

“Ah there you are!” Gomez then clears up his throat “Princess, meet Thing.”

The magical hand then waves at Twilight.

Twilight looks disturbed, she then notices that it’s almost time to lower the sun.

“Forgive me for asking, but do you have a place for us to stay Gomez?” As Twilight asked that question she notices that the family’s smiles turn into small frowns “Oh sorry for asking if that makes you un-”

Gomez cuts her off “No no no...it’s quite alright. You see we were leaving because our home has been destroyed by our neighbors.”

“It’s true what my son says, we were getting Pugsley ready for his mazurka, and before we knew it our home was in flames!” Grandmama exclaimed.

“It’s true it was absolutely horrible.” Fester stated while shrugging in place “But at least the fire soothed my itch on my back.”

The group looked at each other and noticed the smoke rising from the distance.

“We gathered what was left from the ashes, at least we got what was important to us. Well except Lurch. He’s extremely saddened that his two favorite instruments were turned to ash.” As Morticia states while Lurch sheds a tear.

Twilight looks back at her friends and they knew what Twilights plan was and they all shook their heads in disagreement. She thought of the idea more than a couple of times and then made her decision.

Twilight spoke with a shivering tone “Gomez.”

“Yes Princess?” He replied.

“You and your family wouldn’t mind if I took you in into the Castle for you all to stay until we find a new home for everyone?” The question was set in stone for Gomez and Morticia.

“Can we prepare Puglsey’s mazurka in the castle?” Gomez asked.

“You may, and if you need anything at all please ask my staff for anything.” Twilight replied.

Spike walks up to Twilight “Are you sure this is a good idea?”

Rarity steps in “Twilight if I may, this doesn’t seem to be the best idea.”

Rainbow Dash adds to it “These ponies don’t seem to be alright, I mean what if their neighbors had a reason to burn their house. I mean look at them. They seem to be a bit...loco.” as she points at Fester while he was staring at them with an unchanged goofy expression.

“I can’t believe you all, judging a family that is in need. Look back at the times when we went on adventures we met the Storm King, the residents of Kludgetown, and we faced creatures that are more than...this. We can’t go back on judging creatures just by looks. The map sent here for a reason, maybe this is it, if we can help then we can help anypony.” As Twilight lectured her friends.

Spike and the group look at each other and sign in agreement.

Twilight walks up to Gomez “Are you all ready?”

“Yes Princess, but there are three family members left.” as Gomez stated he whistled at the forest. “Come here Zelda! Come here Kitty!”

Wednesday adds to it. “Come Socrates, it’s time to leave.”

There was a moment of silence until a giant vulture swooped onto Gomez back, then a small octopus crawled up Wednesday’s hair and it laid in her nooses. After that a shadow loomed over Fluttershy, as she turned back to see what it was, she saw a giant manticore sniffing her hair. The group back up to Twilight while Fluttershy was frozen in fear.

“These are your pets!” Rainbow Dash and Spike yelled in unison.

“Why yes. Meet Zelda, our vulture. Meet Socrates, Wednesday pet octopus, and meet Kitty, our pet manticore. Aren’t they neat?” Gomez exclaimed.

“Why isn’t that sweet?..” Twilight replied.

As Kitty kept smelling Fluttershy she dropped to the ground with a petrified look and with a body as stiff as stone.

The group look back at Twilight and they have a “I hope you know what you're doing” look.

Ep.2: The Mysterious and Spooky Guests

While Twilight took her chariot back to Canterlot castle the Addams family took their strange machine and drove it to the castle, but her friends on the other hand took the Friendship Express back, and that is when Spike had to ask.

“So~...what do you think of the Addams family?”

“THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL!!!” as Rarity screamed into Spike’s ear “Their attire is out of date and when we get to Canterlot I will suggest them a spa so they can freshen up!”

“Not to mention that they didn’t have space in their ‘car’ for their ‘pets’ so now we have to look after them…” as Rainbow Dash looked at Kitty.

“I can agree with Rarity here Spike, they do look a bit off, but that isn’t it. Did y'all see their children? They looked like they were deprived of everythin’. I’ll see if I can get Big Mac to deliver some of our apple pies to Canterlot, and see if the children will eat.” Applejack stated.

“Come on, the Addams family doesn’t seem bad at all. I think they're misunderstood.” Spike replied “And I don’t think the children are deprived at all. At least I hope not.”

“I can agree with Spike, they may look and seem bad, but they did say they’re home was burned to the ground. Plus I think it’s rude that we’re talking behind Twilight’s back.” as Pinkie added.

The group fell silent.

Rainbow Dash then saw that Fluttershy was grooming Kitty and Zelda “Maybe you’re right. It’s not right to judge them.”

The train stops at Canterlot and everypony leaves the train, but doing so the Addams family’s pets had also left by Fluttershy’s side. This left ponies and creatures staring at them which made the group uncomfortable. It wasn’t like they could do anything about it. The group leaves the station and then they start walking to the castle with many eyes drawing near.

Twilight stands next to the entrance of Canterlot’s castle awaiting her guest and before she knew it she hears screeching and metallic clanks drawing near, and she then saw the Addams family vehicle coming in hot. Ponies and creatures were jumping out of the way left and right, and before she knew it again, the car stopped dead in its tracks leaving marks all across Canterlot. The family exited their vehicle and walked toward Twilight’s castle. The guards looked at Twilight's expression and readyed their spears in order to protect her, but in doing so Gomez leaped in front of the spears and hoped behind them. To Gomez it was a game, but the guards took it as a sign of aggression.

“STOP!” Twilight shouted “Seize your weapons, these are our guests. They will be staying for a while...a long while.”

The guards pull back and return to their post.

“Aw why stop the fun Twilight I was just getting ready for their greetings!” Gomez stated eagerly.

“We’ll give you a proper greeting later in the castle Gomez. Now please let me show you around our living quarters.” said Twilight.

“If you insist princess… Lurch, do you mind getting our belongings?” as Gomez proceeded to stare at the guards spears.

“Lurch let my staff help you, those briefcases look cumbersome.” as Twilight signaled a team of mares to help Lurch.

In doing so the team grabbed a few briefcases and crates and brought it to the castle, but there was one crate that was three times the size of the mares. They tried to lift the crate to the best of their ability, but in doing so they just tired themselves out. Lurch then stomped up to them and the mares stared at the giant stallion that just lifted the crate like it was nothing as he took it to the castle. The guards held their amazement on Lurch’s strength, even Twilight stared a bit. Twilight guided the Addams family throughout the castle like a tour. Twilight revealed the living quarters for the family, which seemed to be scattered around the castle. When they arrived at the throne room, in it Gallus flew toward Twilight in a flash.

“Twilight where were you?! The School of Friendship has an issue and Starlight wanted to speak with you! She’s waiting in the other room.” as Gallus told Twilight the news he noticed strange individuals behind her “are these?”

“Right! Gallus I want you to meet the Addams family.” as Twilight was going to introduce each member of the family she forgot that Starlight wanted to see her. She then quickly teleported to go check in on her.

Right then and there Gallus stared at each member of the family individually, noticing their strange features. He knew that whatever they were, they were strange.

“Well if no one is going to speak up I might as well do it myself!” Grandmama exclaimed as she walked up to Gallus “Why hello there Gallus, it’s nice to meet you~” she said as she was shaking the talons of his.

Gallus noticed that her eyes were all over the place and her dress was a bit worn and torn.

“I’m Grandmama, and these two are my most devilish boys Gomez and Fester!” as she pointed out to them“This is my daughter in law Morticia, and these two are my two malicious grandchildren Wednesday and Pugsley, and I can’t forget Lurch and Thing!”

Gallus had already seen Lurch due to his size, but Thing was another story. He had trouble finding him until he felt something grab his talon once more. He glanced down and saw a grey aura and inside was a unicorn horn. Gallus quickly shook the “thing” off and it scurried back on Gomez’ shoulder. As much as Gallus wanted to leave he had to stay until Twilight returned.

A few hours go by and the rest of Twilight’s friends arrive at the castle with the Addams family pets. Spike notices that the family isn’t in the castle or so it seemed. The pets then run off into the castle. Rainbow Dash tried to stop them, but Fluttershy stomped on her tail to stop her.

“It’s alright Rainbow Dash, they aren’t going to cause trouble. They told me they were going to find their masters.” as Fluttershy explained to Rainbow Dash.

The group then hears a loud shriek cover the coradoors of the castle. This made Rainbow look at Fluttershy with a disappointed look, as they ran to the source, Applejack trailed off the group to go back to the entrance to wait for Big Mac. Rainbow was the first to make it to the source, as everypony else arrived next to her. They listened for any more sounds, but Rainbow then quickly realized the door had scratch marks all over it. The shriek was heard once more and Rainbow quickly bucked the door open only to see the giant manticore cover Starlight’s face. Starlight then chuckled begging for the manticore to stop licking her.

“I see you finally made it, we thought Kitty had you as a snack on the way here.” stated Morticia

“Oh don’t worry I bought something for Kitty on the way here. It was not a problem at all.” as Fluttershy explained to Morticia.

Rainbow Dash noticed that the rest of the family wasn’t there with her “You don’t mind if I ask but where is everypony else?”

“They're unpacking all of their belongings along with Lurch going to the Everfree forest.” Morticia stated.

“What could Lurch possibly need from the Everfree forest? Isn’t it still covered in those awful brushes and filled with cree---” Rarity caught her tongue before realizing who she was speaking to.

Starlight eventually got Kitty to stop and was wheezing with laughter along with it “I haven’t got a rush like that in a while! Phew, come on everypony, Lurch will be fine. I gave him a potion that Zecora gave to me, it’s a protection spell that will...you know...protect him.” Starlight stated.

“She’s right Rainbow, Lurch is fully capable of defending himself, and with that potion I’m sure he’s safe.” Twilight explained, “But I’m still curious, what can Lurch need from the Everfree forest? We haven’t seen anything there for a while Morticia.” asked Twilight.

“Oh don’t you worry Princess, Lurch is out there finding our other family members.” stated Morticia.

“Well Morticia darling are they a bit more...you know…’out there’?” questioned Rarity.

“You can say that, but it will be a while until Lurch will return. Anyone up for game night?” asked Morticia.

“I guess one game couldn’t hurt anypony right?” Fluttershy asked.

Morticia then told everypony to wait in the throne room while she went ahead and got her family together. Starlight eager for the little event headed straight to the throne room with the massive manticore tailing her. The group looks up to Twilight and see that she is unfazed by her guests unlike last time where she was questioning her actions a little. They eventually make it to the throne room with Starlight sitting near the west side of the walls with Kitty. Spike then realized that the guards were missing.

“Hey Twilight where are your royal guards?” Spike asked.

“They’re taking a bit of time off, they noticed that having a manticore, a vulture, and an octopus in the castle is kinda overwhelming for them. I’m pretty sure you can understand right?” asked Twilight.

“Yeah but-” Spike was then interrupted by Twilight’s question.

“Wait where is Applejack? Asked Twilight.

“Oh she went to get Big Mac, she wanted to get some food for the children. I don’t know if Big Mac got my message.” Spike explained.

Twilight looked puzzled, but before she could think straight she felt something crawl up her flank and with shock she rose from the floor and saw that Thing had arrived. With a little faint heart attack Twilight saw that Thing had brought tools of some sorts.

“Oh I know you’ll love this game Spike.” said Morticia.

“Really, why?” Spike asked.

“Why it’s Sunken Boats, I used to play this alot when I was young!” Gomez exclaimed.

“Isn’t it called Battlesh-”

“AH! It’s a legal thing.” as Gomez cuts Spike off. “Fester will not be joining us, he’s taking a bubble bath with his favorite rubber ducky.” stated Gomez.

“Oh well that's nice to know dear.” Rarity stated.

The group then hears the castle waterworks working and while they hear the water going through the pipes they also hear Fester sing to himself. The group squint and cringe at the sound of Fester singing off key the entire time. The group then hears hoof steps across the hall and see Applejack run across the throne room with an entire cart of different apple pies, tarts, juice, jam, cider, and sauce. Twilight looks at Spike seeing if he can explain the situation. Spike simply shrugs in response.

“I hope I didn’t miss anything important.” Applejack stated.

“Oh you didn’t miss anything, miss Applejack and it’s so nice that you brought snacks for everyone on game night.” Morticia happily pronounced.

“Oh I originally brought it for the kids, but I think there is enough for every pony. What game are we playing?” Applejacked asked.

“Sunken Ships.” as Pugsley was turning keys and pressing buttons on a box.

“Wait isn’t that game called Battlesh-” Applejack was cut off by Spike.

“It’s a legal thing apparently.”

Applejack shrugs in confusion but with agreement. As everyone got a few snacks they sat down on their chairs waiting for the game to start.

“Your majesty, why don’t you start off tonight's game night?” Gomez exclaimed.

“Oh, sure...what do I do? It’s been a while.” Twilight asked.

“You tell Pugsley what space you want and he’ll do the rest from there.” Morticia stated.

The entire group looked at each other in confusion, even Starlight questioned the game.

“Ok Pugsley…E5.”

Pugsley then flipped switches and pressed buttons on Twilights command. The group waited for something to happen.

“Sorry, your majesty, looks like you missed. Better luck on your next turn.” Morticia stated. “It’s your turn Pinkie Pie.”

Pinkie Pie had a shock of worry, but that worry quickly gave way to excitement and joy of playing with new ponies.

“BLOW F6!!!” Pinkie shouted.

Pugsley then again flipped switches and pressed buttons on Pinkie Pie’s command.

While everypony else was enjoying game night Fester took his time in his bubble bath playing with his favorite rubber ducky and little toy boat that he found while in the bathroom. Fester then sang "Every challenge along the way, with courage I will face! I will battle every day, to claim my rightful place! Come with me, the time is right, there's no better team! Arm in arm, we'll win the fight, It's always been our dream!" while finishing the rest of the lyrics Fester then hears little beeps. He looks around to see what it was, but then sees a little glowing dot in the tub with him. Fester then poked his head out of the tub and saw that underneath it was a pile of--

"FIRE IN HOLE!" Pugsley shouted.

Pugsley then slammed the button with all his might. Twilight and her friends wait for something to happen.

"Aw I guessed I mis--"

Pinkie was quickly cut off by the sound of little 'beeps', Twilight then saw that Pinkie's tail was twitching. Twilight took it to heart to always follow Pinkie's Pinkie sense.

"Everypony down!" Twilight threw her wings up covering everypony, including Thing.

Starlight looks at the family and back at her friends. "Come on Twilight, nothing is going to happen. Look the Addams are fine, and nothing has happened. just calm down and--"

Starlight was cut off by the sound of explosives going off above her, but instead of one explosion, multiple striked at once shaking the entire castle in the process. Then a sound of a heavy object that was falling through the floors of the castle finally entered the throne room with a collision with Starlight's name on it. She then quickly jumped out of the way to only slide across the throne room. In the mist of the rubble Starlight saw a perfectly attached tub in the middle of the throne room. Starlight then saw that Fester looked in shock while he stared at his boat sink into the tub.

"You have sunken my boat!" Fester exclaimed.

Everypony looked extremely confused. Twilight was more confused on how Fester wasn't mad or at least harmed from the little wake up call. Fester chatted with Pugsley and Wednesday and quickly turned his head toward Pinkie Pie.

"Well I gotta say miss Pie, you won! Congratulations!" Fester exclaimed.

As the Addams family congratulated Pinkie Pie, everypony else was left confused, except Starllight who saw this as a bonding moment for them.

This was actually fun to type because of the sheer randomness of the chapter. I wish I ended it a bit differently, but we all can't be winners. :pinkiecrazy:
