Dark Trance

Austin's House, Earth

"Auuuuustiiiiiinnnnn? Where are you?"

*Knock knock knock*

"AUUUUUSTIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN! Where is he? I wanted to go T&T-ing with him tonight. Well...I'll just let myself in. He won't mind."

*Click! Rattle Rattle*

The girl let herself into Austin's house. She looked around, seeing how dark it was. She was 14, pretty, and had a Rainbow Dash costume on, herself being a pegasister. Seeing that her companion was obviously not home, she sighed heavily. She looked around for any clue to where he may be. He saw a note on the fridge.

The salutation was smudged, making it unreadable, but she knew the note was adressed to her.

"I have went out with my friends. Sorry if I left you behind. Just press the button on the bracelet found on the coffee table, then speak into the tiny microphone charm. Signed, Austin."

She looked at the coffee table from her place in the kitchen. There was, indeed, a small bracelet, similar to the ECB that Austin wore to contact the ponies. Although she knows nothing about that...She walked over and picked it up, then followed the instructions given to her from the note.

She pressed the little red button, then spoke into the microphone, obviously confused at the bizarre note.

"H-Hello?"

The room was quiet for a while, until she heard Austin's voice reply.

"Hello?"

"Austin? Is that you?"

"Who is it?"

"Your girlfriend!"

"Oh! Hey! You got my note?"

"Yeah...where are you?"

"I...I'm at a party."

"Why wasn't I invited?"

"This....um...This isn't your everyday party..."

"Well you should've at least told me! I want to see you!"

"Hun, that's a little impossible at the moment."

"Just give me the address."

"um....I can't."

"Why not?!"

"It's complicated...Um....Would you believe Sugarcube Corner?"

"Yeah right. Like you're partying in Equestria."

"I am."

"Prove it."

"..........Alright."

Sugarcube Corner, Equestria

Austin turned off the ECB.

"HEY PINKIE!!"

Pinkie trotted over in her ghost costume.

"Yeah Austin?"

"I need a ride back to Earth...We're bringing someone back with us."

"Another human? Here? In Equestria? Austin...I don't think that's a good idea."

"Don't worry...She'll be fine. She's like me....Only a girl."

"Wellllllll....Okay..."

Austin mounted Pinkie's back, and they lept through her space gap back to Earth.

Austin's House, Earth

"Austin....AUSTIN! Ugh...he hung up."

Suddenly, Austin and Pinkie appeared in a brilliant flash of light, making the girl jump.

"Austin?!"

"No time to explain. Just get on the pony."

"Austin, I-"

Austin sighed, then grabbed the girl's arm, pulled her onto Pinkie's back, and they all lept back into Equestria.

When they arrived, Austin got off and let Pinkie go back and host the party. Meanwhile, the girl in the RD costume stared and looked around, gawking at everything. She was absolutely flabbergasted.

"Th-these....a-are..."

"Ponies. Yeah. You wanted proof, there's your proof. Now, do you want to stay or go back and Trick or Treat?"

"I want to stay! I've never had a Pinkie Pie Party!!"

"Well, let me introduce you first..."

Austin took the girl to the mane 6, and they all were talking and laughing, that is until Austin and the girl wandered over.

"Girls, this is my girlfriend, another human. She would like to participate in Nightmare Night."

The ponies looked at each other, then nodded and smiled.

"Welcome to the herd!" Twilight said with a broad grin.

"Wait...really?!" She said eagerly.

"Yep! We're all pretty much used to the idea of humans. Just don't mess with us, and we won't mess with you!" Pinkie said with a giggle-snort.

"Wow, her Rainbow Dash costume is divine! Did you make that all by yourself?"

"Yeah, from scratch. I would've helped Austin, but it looks like he already had help..."

Austin blushed, which was adorable, considering he's wearing a Pinkie costume.

They all welcomed her and showed her around Sugarcube Corner, introducing her to a few ponies here and there, and finally sitting her down to relax for a while before she went and had fun.

"So? Whaddya think?"

"This is amazing, Austin! Why'd you keep it secret so long?"

"I have to...Look, I can't give you all the details, but the point is we need to keep this hush when we're on Earth. Not only will we comprimise the ponies, but everyone will think we're freaks. That's why ponies can only be on Earth for short time intervals."

"Oh..."

"Sorry hun. But if you tell anyone besides me about Equestria, legally, I have to kill you."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"I'll be quiet then."

"Please do..."

Pinkie ran over and giggled.

"What are you two just sitting around for? It's time to PARRRRRRTY!"

They got a faceful of confetti and streamers from Pinkie's Party Cannon(TM), then giggled a bit and got up to go socialize with some other ponies.

Pinkie's parties were awesome, but to Austin's girlfriend, it was a brand new experience she was loving. She felt like nothing could ruin tonight.

That's when the sky turned black and cloudy and a strange cloaked pony kicked the doors in.

Well, so much for Trick or Treating....
