Equestria's Nightmare Night Party Hijinks

Somewhere in Maretime Manor, where a couple of workmen are making some repairs to the house, while the Mane 7 & Sparky watch from behind the entrance gate, figuring out a plan.

“If those earth ponies can scare us that bad in town, how are we gonna make it through their party?” Sunny asked.

“Yeah, how can we?” Misty asked.

“We won't... Unless we beat them to the scare.” Hitch said.

“How?” Comet asked.

“Easy, we know some horror movies better than anyone. We can come up with something 10 times scarier than they can.” Sunny said.

“Yeah, like “It Came From The Fire Alicorn”. Zipp said.

“Or “My Scaliest Adventure”." Pipp replied.

“Even “Night Of The Living Dragon” said.

“How about something really scary? Like, Edgar Allen Hoof's "The Tell-Tale Hoof" ?Sunset asked.

In a fantasy sequence, inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell Tale Heart" where Sprout & Posey walk into a dark and old house up to Hitch who's wearing a black cape and top-hat. Hitch holds up a cloth as something falls out of it. Sprout and Posey gasp in fright. It's only a small heart-shaped box. Sprout and Posey are relieved, until Hitch opens it to reveal that it's empty...

"No candy! AAAHHHHH!!!!!!" Sprout and Posey screamed in fear.

Hitch gets so startled by Sprout and Posey's screams that he falls back and through the floor landing with a painful crash.

"Ow..." Hitch groaned.

Back in reality, the ponies rejected the idea, thinking that it’s too horrific… But Izzy suggested something even scarier.

“Nah,"The War Of The Pony Worlds" is scarier.” Izzy said.

In another fantasy, similar to H.G Wells "The War Of The Worlds, where a large UFO is floating near a mountainside, where Sprout & Posey are standing on the edge. The UFO door opens and two aliens (one colored blue and one colored pink) walk out toward the 2 earth ponies.

"Greetings... friends..." Sprout said in fear.

"Friends? Darned, please to meet you!" Said the blue alien as the 2 aliens shake their hooves.

Sprout and Posey run away, screaming in fear, making the aliens look very confused. Izzy comes up from behind the aliens and shakes hands with the pink alien and winks at her.

“It’s perfect!” Izzy exclaimed. All we need is a real UFO, two real aliens and... She said as she tried to continue, which made the other ponies unimpressed by Izzy’s idea.

"Oh, aliens don't exist. Sorry, guys. On second thought..." Izzy said sadly as she was about to continue.

"What about a "headless auroricorn guy", like in "The Legend of Brony Hollow." asked Comet.

"You mean, "The Legend of Pony Hollow. Said Sunny.

"Whatever." Comet said.

In a fantasy setting of “Sleepy Hollow”, the Sprout and Posey were cowering for their lives as they ran from the headless auroricorn guy.

"It's the headless auroricorn guy! RUN!!!!" Sprout cried out.

Sprout and Posey run down the road lane screaming as they are chased by what appears to be the headless auroricorn riding on his own hooves, making creepy moaning noises and flapping the sleeves of his jacket around. Sprout and Posey run around through a bridge-tunnel as all of the equipment collapses to the ground. It's revealed that Comet was wearing the jacket from underneath and Hitch as as the feet.

"When did you learn to be an auroricorn guy?" asked Hitch.

"Me?! I'm headless! I'm not supposed to see!" Comet said.

“No, no, no. This is what we do.” Sunny said. “Gather around everypony.”

The Mane 7 all huddle up together and Sunny whispers their real plan to them, which makes others, look very impressed at Sunny’s plan for an ultimate prank.

“Man, that is good.” Izzy said, looking impressed.

“I’m with Sunny with that plan!” Zipp said.

“Maybe this party won’t be so bad after all.” Misty said.

“You got that right.” Pipp agreed, as the others left the Manor.

Meanwhile inside Maretime Manor, Sprout and Posey were preparing for the ultimate prank that they have prepared for some time now. Posey opens the cabinet doors to reveal a large old reel-to-reel tape-recorder.

"Okay, Sprout. Turn off the lights." Posey instructed.

As Sprout does so, Posey turns on the tape-recorder that starts playing ghostly noises. Posey pulls on a rope and green figures come floating down from the ceiling. Sprout gasps quietly in amazement and turns the lights back on, revealing black balloons that glow-in-the-dark."

"Whoa! How in the world did you do that?!" Sprout asked.

They're balloons painted with glow-in-the-dark colors. Just like the ghost ring in the book. Cool, huh? Posey explained.

"Man, are we gonna give them Hoofbumps!" Sprout said

Suddenly, the lights to the room turn off by themselves, leaving Sprout confused.

“Hey, don’t do that!” Sprout panicked.

“I didn’t!” Posey said, looking confused.

Suddenly, the lights went back on, leaving the 2 earth ponies confused, thinking the lights needed fixing.

"Come on, I'd better tell the repair pony that the lights in this room need fixing." Posey instructed as the 2 headed back to Posey's house to dress up for the party.

At the Crystal Brighthouse, where the Mane 7 are about to practicing their prank in the garage; Misty's wearing a jack-o-lantern over her head and pincer-claws over her hooves; Sparky & Hitch are making growling noises through a megaphone and Izzy's shining a flashlight from behind Misty.

“Well, everything’s ready!” Zipp said. “What do you think?”

“Guys, I think we're gonna give them HOOFBUMPS!!!!” Sunny said in confidence.

“You got that right!” Pipp cheered. “This party is gonna be awesome!!!!”

“That’s right! It’ll be one of the best practical jokes in the history of the world!” Hich replied.

“Man, I'm gonna be the best practical joke in history!” Misty said.

“Enough chatter, guys. We need to get ready and we need to look fabulous!” Comet informed them.

“You got that right, Comet.” agreed Sunny. “Just after one more practice and one more plan.”
