Haunted by Deception

The next night was Nightmare Night. Ponies of all ages were dressed up and munching on candy as they waited in line for the haunted house.

"Quite a turnout, eh, Pinkie?" Applejack says as she walks up to her friend, who was dressed up as a giant cupcake. Applejack herself was dressed as quite a convincing cavepony.

"Sure is!" Pinkie Pie replies with a grin, “Who knew?!"

Applejack chuckles and nods to Accord as he walks over. The stallion had refused to dress up, but somepony had still managed to convince him to wear a pair of sunglasses in the shape of skulls. "Any problems so far?"

"Nope!" Pinkie Pie answers, “Everyone loves it! We did a great job, didn't we?"

"We sure did," Applejack says. She looks up at the alicorn on the attic window and could have sworn she saw a real alicorn smiling down at them.
