Twilight was ecstatic. She and Moondancer had come up with the best costumes for themselves and baby spike. “Cadence hurry up. We’re going to miss out on all the candy.”

“I’m right behind you silly fillies.” Cadence laughed. She was dressed up as an elusive night guard and watching the fillies while their parents went to a small party for nobles.

Twilight and Moondancer bounced on their hooves as spike held on. They were both dressed as solar guards with spike as Celestia. (His costume was just a rainbow wig.) Currently all three were walking the neighborhood for candy.

“You ready for school to start back up Moonie?” Twilight asked while digging into their haul and already on a bit of a sugar high. “I can’t wait for school to start back up. I wonder what Dawn is up to?” Cadence’s ears perked up. “I haven’t seen him or any other classmates all break.”

Moondancer just nodded along, blushing as she listened to Twilight talk.


“Oh darling you look absolutely fabulous.” Rarity smiled at her latest last minute customer. She had already made quite a bit from costume requests and repairs. Moving to Ponyville had turned out to be a wonderful business decision.

“Thanks. Rarity right? I’m Roseluck and I’m so glad you moved to town. My sisters and I are so glad Ponyville has a proper seamstress.” She said as she paid for the costume repair.

“Well thank you. I’m just glad I could be of help to the community so quickly.” Rarity smiled at the bits. She finally had enough to actually start fixing up her new home and paying her bills.


Pinkie and Rainbow dash were having a grand time. The new set of friends were going around pranking everypony they could find.

“What about her?” Rainbow pointed to an earth pony filly.

“Oh no that’s AJ we can’t prank her tonight.” Pinkie said a bit dejectedly.

“Oh come on, why not?” Rainbow huffed.

“Her family member, a friend of ours, went missing a few days ago.” Pinkie replied somberly.

“Woah really? That’s, yeah, that’s rough. I know.” Rainbow then flew over to right above her Applejack. “Hey.”

Applejack looked confused until she looked up. “Oh hey there, your that new weather filly in training. Rainbow right?”

“That’s me. Fastest flyer and all around best athlete.” She buffed her hoof on her chest.

“That so?” Aj narrowed her eyes. “How about we hoof wrestle then?”

“You're on”. Rainbow exclaimed as Pinkie smiled. Come back soon Dawn or you’ll miss all the fun. I already pushed back a few welcome parties for you.


Fluttershy pulled the blankets tightly around her as she hid underneath the bed of her new tree/cottage Treehugger had helped her find. She was happily surrounded by a few animal friends and a good book to help her wait out the night.


“I can’t believe Dawn couldn’t join us this year for scary stories. He always told good ones.” Starlight kicked the dirt with her forehoof as she and Sunburst walked their village. Sire’s hollow hardly celebrated Nightmare night and only the schoolhouse gave out candy or had games for foals.

“Well, his family is moving to Ponyville.” Sunburst pushed up his glasses. “We will see him once school starts back up.”

Starlight perked back up. “That’s true. We better have lots of fun and tell him all about it so he gets jealous.” She said jokingly and ran towards the schoolhouse.

“Starlight wait up.” Sunburst tried to run after her.


Big Mac and Cheerilee followed closely behind his little sister. It was Applebloom’s first Nightmare night and the young couple had been tasked to watch her since Granny was working the family Maze while Pear was out of town.

“You know.” Cheerilee said playfully. “This is great practice for if we have foals.”

Big Mac gulped as Applbloom happily trotted along, non the wiser to her big brother’s dilemma.
