Equestria's Nightmare Night Party Hijinks

Later that evening at Maretime Manor, the Nightmare Night Costume party was happening and everypony was really excited. Everypony from Maretime Bay, Bridlewood, & Zephyr Height were wearing different costumes of all sorts (some Nightmare Night themed, some based on their favorite cartoons & anime and all sorts of things). Some of them dressed up as Opaline, Nightmare Moon, Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, Lord Tirek, King Sombra, among others. Weird techno-rave rock music is playing in the background. For Posey and Sprout, they were dressed up as different characters, Posey was dressed up as Bella Swan from The Twilight Saga & its book series alongside, Sprout who is also dressed up as Edward Cullen, from the franchise.

“So, when are we gonna scare them?” asked Posey.

“Later. We’ll prank them After the story’s over.” Sprout replied.

And so, the 2 earth ponies gave each other high fives for their upcoming prank plan. Several moments later, in another room in Maretime Manor where the story, Sprout uses a mallet to bang against two large skull heads and a small one hanging from a hanger to give the guests some attention.

“Everyone, please take your seats.” instructed Sprout to the guests, as the guests took their seats. “And may I introduce you our special ghost of our host, Mrs. McHoof.” he announced as Mrs. McHoof turns around in her chair to face the attendants of the party.

“Thanks for coming, Mrs. McHoof.. I know this is gonna be a fun story night.” Sprout whispered.

“Sprout, I think so, too.” she replied.

Meanwhile, the others, Sunny, Izzy, Pipp, Hitch, Zipp, & Comet are wearing their costumes, Sunny is dressed up as Frankie Pamplemousse from The Zhu-Zhus, Izzy was dressed up as Piper Willowbrook in her Mysticon form from Mysticons, Pipp was dressed up as Evie from Decendants, Zipp was dressed up as Arcee from Transformers, Hitch was dressed up as Cyclops from X-Men, and Comet, well, let's just say, he's dressed up as an normal Unicorn, for Sparky, he was dressed up as Gingka Hagane from the Beyblade Metal Saga.

“Man, it’s too crowded. We can't find any place to set up the scare.” Zipp said, annoyed.

“Yeah, how are we gonna find the perfect place to set up the prank?” asked Pipp said.

“I found the perfect spot: The upstairs library!” Sunny answered. “Go on up.”

“Yeah!” Pipp, Zipp, & Comet exclaimed. exclaimed as they gave each other high fives, then they proceeded to head up to the upstairs library.

“Hey, where’s Misty?” Sunny asked, noticing that Misty’s not here.

“It’s not like her to be late.” Hitch replied.

“We thought she was with you.” Zipp said.

“Same here, she’s here already.” Pipp said.

“Yeah, we’ll set up the prank. Just act normal.” Comet replied, as the others walked away to set up the prank.

“Got it.” Sunny said, as she grabs a drink, until someone, who looks to be a teen pony, appears wearing a white sheet around his/her body and a similar jack-o-lantern over the head, like Misty, walks over to Sunny, Izzy, Hitch and Sparky.

“Oh, there’s Misty Hey, Misty, OVER HERE!” Izzy cried.

“Misty, where have you been? The others are upstairs in the library.” Sunny said. Unfortunately, “Misty” doesn’t respond to the other girls and just looks at the fruit punch bowl.

“Why are you being so silent lately?” asked Hitch in concern.

“Oh, you can get a drink later, just get going!” Sunny ordered, as “Misty” obeyed.

“Something fishy is going on with Misty lately…” Sunny said.

“I know, what's with her lately?” Asked Hitch, looking concerned.

Then, Sunny's just about to get a drink of punch with Izzy, Hitch & Sparky until a voice appears.

“Sunny, Izzy, Hitch?!” Sprout asked.

Sunny, Izzy, Hitch and Sparky drop their cups in the punch bowl, startled. Sprout and Posey are standing nearby, looking very concerned.

"You ponies are going to miss the story." Sprout replied.

“Oh.. hey there, guys…” Sunny said.

“How’s the party? Before we could see the movie, Sunny had something to tell you…” Hitch asked.

“I-I-I was looking for you.” Sunny said, acting nervous.

“What for?” Sprout asked.

“Um... I heard a weird noise upstairs.” Sunny said.

“You did? Where?” asked Sprout.

“In the library. Come on, I'll show you.” Sunny instructed.

“Just follow Sunset!” Hitch said.

“Posey, they’re gonna walk right into our prank. It's too perfect!” Sprout whispered to Posey.

“I can’t wait!” Posey whispered excitedly.

As Sporut and Posey followed Sunny, Izzy, Hitch and Sparky, the story was still heard as the listeners of the story were shocked and horrified at listening the scariest chapters in “House of the Dragolantern”. Some listeners covered their eyes and braced themselves, but the Mane 7, Sprout, & Posey are unaware that Maretime Manor has a haunting secret… thanks to “Misty”.
