BOO! Happy Nightmare Night, everypony! It's our version of Halloween, if you haven't watched the Luna Eclipse episode. Nightmare Night is a great time to get candy! But as Pinkie says, you're never too old for free candy! I got my trailer all decorated for the trick or treaters that'll be coming soon. Lots of spooky stuff around my place. I even decorated the fish tank. In fact, I'm just doing the finishing touches on it. Darrel was afraid of the skull I put in it.

"AAAH!" Darrel cried. He swam away from the skull, but unaware that he was swimming to a scary looking pumpkin. He screamed again. Everywhere he swam to there was something scaring him. Eventually, he hid behind Rainbow.

"You okay, Darrel?" Rainbow asked.

"Rainbow, where are we? Everything looks scary!" Darrel said.

"That's because Flare decorated the tank for Nightmare Night." Yoyo said.

"Huh?" Darrel asked.

"Do we have to go through this every year, Darrel?" Dorthey asked.

"I keep forgetting." Darrel said.

"So, where's Pearl and Piddles?" Yoyo asked.

"Getting dressed." Dorthey said. Then they both show up. Pearl was wearing a princess outfit, and Piddles was dressed in an apron and hair net.

"What are you guys suppose to be?" Yoyo asked.

"I'm Princess Cadance. I spread the love all around. When two ponies are fighting, I make them fall in love." Pearl said.

"Like the time Cadance accidently made a brother and a sister fall in love?" Piddles asked and giggled.

"What about you, Piddles? What are you suppose to be? A bus colt?" Pearl asked.

"No. A Burger Shot cashier." Piddles said.

"Thanks Piddles, you made a hungry." Yoyo said.

"What doesn't make you hungry?" Piddles asked.

"Hey fishies!" I said to them in an evil tone. Darrel screamed like a little girl, and fainted on Rainbow. I was wearing a black outfit, with a necklace with buttons on it, a black cape, and I was painting a big red 'S' on my right eye, while holding a mirror so I can see where I'm painting, so I don't get any paint inside my eye. Ouch. That happened to me before, and it wasn't pretty.

"Wow, what kind of outfit is that?" Dorthey asked, but I can't hear what she's saying, but a coincidence, I answered anyway.

"Look at me, I'm evil Flare! Darth Flare!" I said.

"Darth who?" Rainbow asked.

"I never heard of a character by that name." Dorthey said.

"I'm going out to do a little trick or treating. And in every house I go to, I'll do a little jingle." I said. "Trick or treat, smell my feet, that I put in a tub full of garlic and purple onions. Except, I don't have feet, I have hooves."

"That doesn't even rhyme." Pearl said.

"Well I'm off. I'll see you when I get back!" I said to the fish, and when I opened the door, Spike and Twilight were waiting for me outside.

"Trick or treat!" Spike said.

"Hi Flare!" Twilight said.

"Hey Spike! Hey Twilight! I was just about to go out trick or treating myself!" I said.

"Well first this dragon needs his yearly Nightmare candy!" Spike said.

"Of course, bro! Of course!" I said, putting a few candies in his bucket.

"Is chocolate all you have? Where are the gems?" Spike asked.

"Bro, I can't provide gems for you ALL the time. You know how expensive they are?" I asked.

"That's fine, I can get some from Rarity." Spike said.

"Spike, don't be so selfish. Thank Flare for the chocolate." Twilight ordered him.

"Thank you, Flare." Spike said.

"No problemo!" I said. "I'm saving most of the Milky Ways for me though. Milky Ways are my favorite chocolate."

Twilight look at my costume, weirdly. "Why are you wearing that?" she asked.

"What? My Darth Flare outfit? It's my Nightmare Night costume." I said. "Didn't it scare you when I first used it?"

"Yes, very." Twilight said.

"Oooo Twilight, you betrayed me, I'm gonna sing a song about ruling the world." I said sarcastically, teasing her.
She giggles.

"Oh no, Flare. This isn't like you, you're being tricked." Twilight said, joining along.

"But you all betrayed me, and now you're gonna have to pay!" I teased. We both laughed.

"I... I don't get it." Spike said.

"Oh you were probably being worked on by that time, becoming that dragon beast." I said. If you wanna know the story about what we're talking about, read Sweet and Sour Flare in my first story.

"Yeah, and what are the odds of anypony else wearing this? At least we had a costume meeting this time, unlike that costume party we went to a few weeks ago." I said.

Let's flashback to my trailer a few weeks ago, somepony started knocking on the door, and Blaze was with me. He was finishing putting on his Flash outfit, and started walking to the door. "I got it!" he yelled. Once he finished putting on his glove, he opened the door, and Psyche bursted inside the trailer, making a zoom noise, wearing the same Flash outfit. They were both shocked to see eachother. "Oh no!" Blaze complained.

"Oh no!" I complained, as I walked out of my room, also wearing a Flash outfit.

"Make way for the fastest pony alive!" Engie yelled, as he ran inside my trailer, also wearing a Flash outfit. "Oh no!" he complained.

"You see, this is why I wanted to have a costume meeting!" I said.

"Well we all have different costumes, we can change!" Blaze suggested.

"Or, we can stay behind eachother all night, it'll look like one pony going really fast!" Engie suggested.

"No, no! It's a boy, girl party, this Flash runs solo." Psyche said.

"How about this? Nopony gets to be the Flash, we all change, agreed?" Blaze asked.

"Agreed." we all said gloomy, as we all went back to our places to change.

Just then Blaze yelled; "I CALL FRODO!"

"DARN!" we all complained. The gag ends, and we return back with me, Twilight, and Spike.

"So Flare. I guess you and Pinkie aren't so different." Twilight said.

"Whatcha talkin about?" I asked.

"With the trick or treating. How old are you?" Twilight asked.

"25." I said.

"Oh, really?" Twilight asked.

"Times 1. What's 25 times 1?" I asked.

"Uhh, 25?" Twilight asked.

"Yep! That's how old I am!" I said. "How about you Twilight? What's your age?"

"Well, my age is..." Twilight said, but Spike interrupted her.

"Uhh, Twilight? Can we continue trick or treating?" he asked.

"Of course, Spike!" Twilight said. "Flare, you coming?"

"Why else you think I'm out here wearing this costume, and holding this bucket?" I asked, holding an orange bucket with a jack-o-lantern face on it.

"I see what you mean." Twilight said.

"C'mon, I wanna go to Ultrasonic's house." Spike said. So we all went trick or treating. We started off at Ultrasonic's house. We rang his doorbell, and he

opened it. I said my trick or treat jingle. "Trick or treat, I feel leet, time to feel dat Mareami heat!"

"Hey!" Ultrasonic said, giving us the candies. "Here you go!"

"Thanks, brah!" I said.

"Yeah, thanks!" Spike said.

"You going trick or treating too?" I asked.

"Isn't that a thing for children?" Ultrasonic asked.

"You're never too old for free candy, my friend!" I said.

"Hmm... alright sure. Just let me get a costume." he said, closing the door.

"Where to next?" Spike asked. So we went from house to house, getting more and more candies. Of course, my jingles weren't all the same. We went to Badd Traxx's house next.

"Sup?" he asked.

"Trick or treat, I don't like meat. Give me candy to rot my teeth." I sang.

"Sure thing!" Badd said giving us candy.

"Thanks!" Spike said.

We went to many other houses, and got more stuff. The three of us met in the town square and told eachother what we got.

"Cool, I got some 3 Musketeers." Spike said.

"I got some laffy taffy." Twilight said.

"I got a rock." I said.

We went to more houses and met in the town square again.

"I got some bottle caps." Spike said.

"I got some milky ways." Twilight said.

"I got a rock." I said.

We met at the town square again after a few more houses.

"I got some nerds." Spike said.

"I got some chocolate bits." Twilight said.

"I got a rock... soundtrack." I said, holding a music soundtrack case.

"Oh... well, that's good." Spike said.

"No. It's Nickleback." I said.

"Nevermind then." Spike said.

"I haven't been so lucky tonight." I said.

"It's okay, Flare." Twilight said.

"Well at least I'm not gonna rot my teeth, unlike you guys." I said.

Twilight giggled. "I guess that's one way of putting it."

"Well I had enough trick or treating for one night. I've been to Badd Traxx's house, Starnote's, Starshine Trot's, Stereo's, Drift's, Roller Rush's, Twisted Spectre's, Shadow Flash's, Shadow Hoove's, Skyblaze's, Grass Mark's, Woodenshy's, and... pretty much everypony's. Well, whatever." I said. Then suddenly, I heard a familar giggle, and Pinkie was hopping towards us. She was wearing a gypsy costume.

"Hey Pinkie!" Spike said.

"Hey guys!" Pinkie said. "You all ready to party?"

"Of course, always!" Twilight said.

"Because there's a Nightmare Night party being hosted in that abandoned old mansion up in the hills in the Everfree Forest. Isn't that great? This is gonna

be fun!" Pinkie cried.

"Nightmare Night party, in an abandoned old mansion on the hills in the Everfree Forest?" I asked. "Yeah, nothing suspicious there." I chuckled.

"Are you crazy, bro?" Spike asked. "An abandoned house in the hills of the Everfree Forest? You say nothing suspicious?"

"Nothing suspicious." I said.

Spike gave me a look. "Alright seems legit." he said, and nodded. Twilight looked at the three of us, and she shook her head and gave herself a facehoof. So

Spike, Twilight, Pinkie, and I all walked through the Everfree Forest. On the way, we were playing a guessing game.

"Alright, so I'm thinking of pony that's dark blue, has a wavy mane that reflects on the night sky, and her cutie mark is a moon. Who is this pony?" I asked.

"Let me guess... Luna?" Spike asked, with an annoyed tone, while riding on my back.

"Right!" I said. "Now I'm thinking of an alicorn, which her sister shows off too much, but she doesn't have enough appearances. Who is this pony?"

"It's Luna, right?" Spike asked.

"Right! Now I'm thinking of a..." I said, but Spike interrupted me.

"Luna, and the next guess: Luna." Spike said.

"Alright now that's just creepy." I said. "How do you know?"

"That's been the same answer for the past half-hour." Spike said.

"Are you a gypsy?" I asked him.

"No, I'm the gypsy, silly!" Pinkie said. "I am the wise-ol madam Pinkie." She said in her gypsy voice.

"Oh really? Can you tell me my future?" I asked.

"I would, but I left my crystal ball back in my tent. But I can try." Pinkie said. She closes her eyes, and puts her hooves on her head. "I'm seeing...

Princess Celestia. She's ordering for a big feast. She's ordering your pizzas for her feast!"

"Surprise face! No way!" I cried.

"Yes way!" she said.

"Wow, I can't wait!" I cried. Twilight chuckled.

"Oh, we're here!" Twilight said, pointing the the house on the hill. Lightning strikes in the cloudy night sky on top of the house.

"Woooo, spooky!" Pinkie said.

"What a perfect place to host a Nightmare Night party. Wouldn't you agree, Spike?" I asked.

"I just hope there would be gems there." Spike said. So we walked up to the mansion, and we were just about to walk onto the porch, but then we heard some

voices behind us. We looked behind us and saw a ghost, but of course it wasn't really a ghost, it was a bed sheet. Sweet Luna, couldn't be more original,

huh?

"AAH ghost!" Spike cried.

"No sillies, it's me." Derpy said, lifting the sheet, revealing her face.

"Hey Derpy! You came for the party too?" I asked.

"Of course!" she said. "Check out my ghost costume. Isn't it great?"

"It looks... awesome possum." I said, not really knowing what to say.

"Couldn't be more original, Derpy?" Spike asked.

"Huh?" Derpy asked surprised.

"Spike don't be rude." I said to him. "It looks great Derpy. You made it yourself, huh?"

"Yeah, and yes I was original." Derpy said. She turned around and revealed all the holes on the sheet on her back.

"Ah the ghost with many eyes on it's back. Way to go Derpy!" I said. To be honest, I didn't completely like it, but I didn't want to tell her that.

"It was actually an accident though. I forgot where the eyes went." Derpy said and giggled.

"Oh Derpy dear, you could've asked for help." Rarity said, wearing a sleeping beauty outfit.

"Hey Rarity! What's your costume suppose to be?" Twilight asked.

"Sleeping beauty. Awaiting my kiss from my prince charming." Rarity said. Spike puts a Tic-Tac in his mouth, freshening his breath.

"C'mon Flutters, it's just a party." AppleJack said, wearing a Frankenstein outfit.

"No, I-I can't. This place looks t-too scary. I'm sorry, AppleJack." Fluttershy said, wearing a bunny outfit.

"Don't worry. We already passed through the scary part, the Everfree forest." AppleJack said. "Ah'm sure the house is completley safe." The stair on the

porch that Derpy was on collapsed, and she fell down.

"Wow. Way to jinx it, AppleJack." Rainbow Dash said, flying in, wearing a Shadow Bolts outfit.

"Well that was a coincidence. Ah doubt it would happen again." AppleJack said. One of the tiles from the roof falls on Derpy and she gets knocked out.

Fluttershy gets scared and was about to fly away, but AppleJack grabs onto her tail.

"Whoa nelly!" AppleJack said.

"No I don't want to go in there!" Fluttershy cried.

AppleJack let's go of her tail. "Alright. Alright. Ah won't force ya. Good luck gettin home by yerself though, because ah was promised apple treats here."

she said.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Fluttershy said. She flies to the skies and was on her way home, but then she her howls and growls in the forest, which spooked

her, then her wings locked tight and she fell down. Rainbow Dash catches her just in time.

"Maybe it's best you stay with us." Rainbow Dash said.

"M-maybe you're right." Fluttershy said.

"That's my wife!" Blaze said, wearing the 11th Doctor outfit.

"Doctor Who?" Crystal asked.

"I didn't even say 'Doctor'." Blaze said.

"But you are wearing the Doctor Whooves outfit." Crystal said.

"What a rip-off. That is certainly not the kind of tie I wear, my good sir." Doctor Whooves said to Blaze, wearing the Master's outfit.

"You're dressed as your worse enemy?" Blaze asked.

"He is pretty scary, if I do say so myself." Doctor said.

"Is he as bad as Undead Lich ?" Psyche asked, in that particular outfit.

"Perhaps." Engineer said.

"Engie, why aren't you wearing a costume?" Aqua asked, wearing a pile of sea weed.

"Ah'm the Engineer from TF2." Engineer said.

"I thought you were you already the Engineer from TF2?" Psyche asked.

"No, I'm the pony Engineer. Ah'm talkin about the outfit the human version of him wears." Engineer said.

"Wow, is there anypony else coming to this party?" Twilight asked.

"Hey bro!" My sister Water said, wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, and painted orange.

"Hey Water!" I said, waving at her.

"What's your costume suppose to be?" Spike asked.

"I'm my ex-coltfriend, Fonz. The scariest pony alive." Water said.

"Nice!" I said to her, giving her a bro-hoof.

"Who?" Spike asked.

"Yeah you already left for the Crystal Kingdom by this time." I said.

"So, is anypony else coming?" Aqua asked.

"Looks like more guests are coming." Fluttershy said, pointing to a carriage that's flying in the sky. The carriage lands beside us. The carriage door opens,

and- Okay this is starting to get boring right? Tell me readers, you getting bored? Alright, I gotta move things along instead of showing which characters

are gonna be guesting in this party, so these are the last two. The carriage opens, and out goes Shining Armor and Princess Cadance. Twilight was pretty

happy. She runs over to Shining and gives him a hug.

"Hey Shining Armor! So you had time to go to this party too?" Twilight asked him.

"Oh, I'm sorry Twilight." Shining said in Cadance's voice. "We're actually eachother for Nightmare Night. My costume is Shining Armor."

"And I'm going as Cadance." Shining said in the Cadance outfit.

"Oh. I see." Twilight said. "Well this is awkward, but hey Shining!" She gives Shining a hug, who is obviously in the Cadance costume, but do I have to keep

saying that?

"Uh Twilight. Aren't you forgetting something?" Cadance asked.

"Oh, right." she said and giggled. They did their sunshine sunshine song, but I don't need to repeat it, because you know it. But... if you insist, I'll

give you the script. 'Moonlight, moonlight, Manbugs sleep. Clop your eye brows, and make a chocolate shake', at least I think that's how it goes. I don't

have a good memory of stuff I'd rather not think about. I didn't think I'd need to remember.

"Well I guess that's all of us." Twilight said.

"Wait, ya'll forgot about me." Big Macintosh said, running towards us.

"Yep, that's it." Spike said.

"Alright, let's head inside then." Aqua said. The Mane, Noble Six, Spike, Derpy, Doctor Whooves, Shining Armor, and Cadance all went inside the abandoned

house, and closed the door on the Big Macintosh, unaware that he was even there. He slammed on the door as we closed it on him. He tried to open the door,

but it was locked.

"Eeenope. Ah guess ah missed another party. Eeeyup." he said. So... wait how many of us are there? Let's see... 6 plus 6... umm... 17 of us right? We were in

the lobby of the mansion, and we looked around. There were spider webs everywhere, the only light source was candles, and there were scary pictures on the

wall, and it looked like they were staring at us. Were they?

"Wow this place looks awesome!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I-I dunno." Fluttershy said, shivering.

"This place could use a little more... pizzazz." Rarity said. "Maybe marble for these support beams, and some beige plaster walls, and perhaps a pot of

flowers, with flowers that are alive."

"Ew." Crystal said.

"Hey Cadance, can you use your magic to bring those flowers back to life?" Aqua asked.

"I can't do reviving magics, only happiness and love magics." Cadance said. "I'm sorry, dear."

"So where's the party?" Pinkie asked. "Ooo, I think I found some cotton candy!" She takes a stick, and twirls it around a spider web and eats it.

"Uh Pinkie?" AppleJack said.

"Hmmm yummy!" Pinkie said, licking her lips. Doctor Whoove's mouth gets buffed up, and he holds mouth, trying to hold his vomit in, but then he swallows it.

"Ouch my throat." the Doctor said.

"Where's the music? Where's the games? I was told the Wonderbolts were gonna be here." Rainbow Dash said. "BLAZE!" She said to him sarcastically.

"Don't look at me. I would've thought the Wonderbolts attend all major parties." Blaze said.

"Is there any food here?" Crystal asked.

"I dunno, did you check the kitchen?" Psyche asked her sarcastically.

"Oh right. Thanks, Psyche!" Crystal said, running to the kitchen. She opens the fridge which is full of rotten food. "Eww, everything's rotten."

"Who's idea was it to host a party here? Who invited us anyway?" Derpy asked.

"Hmm, maybe we got the wrong address." Shining said.

"I dunno, we're all here. Is it a coincidence that we all made the same locational mistake?" Twilight asked.

"Wait, maybe this is a plot." Doctor Whooves said.

"Eww a plot?" Derpy asked, referring to their flanks obviously.

"What? No, not that plot. Maybe this is all a trick. No one touch anything. Maybe we should just leave." Doctor said.

"Yeah good idea, let's leave." Fluttershy said, running towards the door. She tried opening it, but the door was locked. "IT'S LOCKED!" she yelled. She ran

to AppleJack and cried on her. "I'm scared."

"There there, sugarcube." AppleJack said. "Everythin will be fine. We just gotta find a way out."

"It's always something, you know?" Crystal complained. "It's Nightmare Night, and we're stuck in a haunted house."

"What makes you so sure that this place is haunted?" Twilight asked.

"Did any of us lock that door?" Crystal asked. We all shook our heads. "So this place is haunted then."

"Yeah I'm not believing this is a haunted house until I see proof." Psyche said.

"Careful partner! Don't jinx it." Engineer said.

"What is there to jinx?" Psyche asked.

"Psyche, be quiet!" Engineer ordered.

"Would you relax, Engie? There is no such thing as curses." Psyche said.

"Engine's right, Psyche. I think the best thing to do is not talk about curses, or ghosts, or any of that until we finally find our way outta here." I said.

"Ooooo, look at this stuff!" Pinkie said, touching a certain type of green goo.

"Huh? Where did you get that stuff?" Doctor asked.

"From that box over there that said 'radioactive'. It's funny, because it has nothing to do with radios, or activities. Or maybe it does." Pinkie said.

"Pinkie, don't touch that!" Rainbow Dash ordered.

"Too late, I already did." Pinkie said, sticking her tongue out at Rainbow and giggling.

"You should wash your hooves right away, Pinkie. Do you have any idea what that stuff is?" Twilight asked.

"No. Do you?" Pinkie asked her.

"Not a clue, but nopony should have any physical contact with any unidentified objects." Twilight said.

"That stuff kinda looks like Gak." Derpy said.

"Oh shut it with the Gak already! Ever since the Mane Six and Spike came back from the Crystal Kingdom, all I hear is Gak this, Gak that, this is really

getting annoying." I said.

"Ditto." AppleJack said. Doctor Whooves takes some of that gooey stuff and takes a look at it.

"Just as I thought." Doctor said.

"What did you just thought?" Blaze asked.

"This stuff is Gak." Doctor said.

"Oooooooh!" I cried, then I started singing and dancing. "I am so smart! I am so smart! I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T- I mean S-M-A-R-T! In your faces!" Pinkie through some of the goo at me, but missed and it landed on Psyche's face. "HA! You missed me!"

"Well you got me, watch where you're throwing Pinkie." Psyche said, wiping the Gak off his face.

"Sorry Psyche." Pinkie said and giggled.

"Wait a sec, there seems to be some sort of substance in this Gak." Doctor said.

"What makes you say that?" Derpy asked.

"I'm getting itchy." Doctor said and started scratching himself.

"Hey, me too!" Pinkie said and she started scratching.

"So am I." Psyche said and started scratching as well.

"I recommend we should all go take a shower." Doctor said.

"Together." Crystal said making a snarly face.

"Wow, nice one Crystal!" Spike said, giving her a bro hoof. Even though Crystal is a mare, and Spike doesn't have hooves, he has claws.

"I dunno about this, Shining. This is starting to get spooky." Cadance said.

"Relax Cadance, we should be fine." Shining said.

"What makes you so sure of that?" Derpy asked.

"Because we always go through in tough situations." Shining said.

"I nearly destroyed Ponyville Town Hall one time, and since AppleJack lost the rodeo, we didn't have enough money to fix it so..." Derpy gets distracted by

the spider that went on Shining's nose. "Oh Cadance, you have a spider on your nose."

"I'm Shining actually." Shining said. "I'm just wearing a Cadance costume for Nightmare Night."

"Wow, so original!" Derpy said.

"Actually, I think Fairly Odd Parents already took that gag, Ditzy." I said.

"They did?" she asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"Uh, guys. I... I think I'm gonna be..." Pinkie said, but her face turns green, and she runs upstairs.

"Yeah, I'm feeling a little sick too." Doctor said, following Pinkie.

"Be right back, guys." Psyche said, following them.

"Looks like someponies have been eating too much candy." AppleJack said.

"I don't think the candy was responsible for this." Twilight said.

"Yeah, I'm assuming it's the Gak." Aqua said.

"Seriously, this Gak gag has gotta stop. I keep seeing this Gak nonsense all over Facebook." I said. "Psyche said he'd ban anypony that says that word on his page."

"No kidding. Where did that gag even come from?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Ew, that stuff looks really disgusting. Even the same sounds disgusting." Rarity said. "Gak sounds like something you'd say if you were barfing. Ugh!"

AppleJack takes the gak and puts it near Rarity.

"Ooo watch out, Rarity. The disgusting gak is gonna get you!" AppleJack teased.

"Ew! Get that stuff away from my face, AppleJack!" Rarity said.

"Then you better run before it gets ya!" AppleJack said. Rarity started running and AppleJack started chasing her.

"Girls? Girls? GIRLS?!" Twilight tried to get their attention, but they couldn't stop.

"SHUT UUUUUUUP!" I yelled, like in the Kindergarten Cop movie. Rarity stopped running, then AppleJack crashed into her.

"Did you girls see what happened to Pinkie, Whooves, and Psyche after they touched that stuff?" Twilight asked.

"Woops, ah guess ah forgot about that." AppleJack said.

"I tried to tell her, but did she listen? Oh noooo, AppleJack just wants to play dirty it seems." Rarity said in a sarcastic voice.

"Ya'll know ah forget stuff alot. Ah'm strong in the hooves, but weak in the mind it seems." AppleJack said.

"Hmm, I wonder what's keeping the others?" Cadance asked. "Maybe I should go check on them."

"No, please. Allow me." Blaze said and bowed. "I'll be able to take care of myself. Don't you worry, your highness."

Cadance giggled. "Thank you, Blaze. You're a true gentlecolt."

"Hey, what about me?" Shining asked.

"You're my husband, you need to protect me against the scary monsters." Cadance said and giggled.

Shining giggled along. "Right."

"Don't take too long, Blaze." Rainbow said.

"Don't worry, babe, I'll be fine." Blaze said, walking upstairs.

"Yeah, he's dead." Engineer said.

"Dude, shut up. He'll be fine, I believe in Blaze." I said.

"Hey what's with ya tonight, Flare?" Engineer asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Ya haven't said any gags, or done your leet speak at all." Engineer said.

"I feel I should give it a break. Leet speak is funny, but it gets annoying if used too much. Lion face." I said.

"Ah there's one!" Engineer said.

"Whoops, that kinda slipped out. Ex-dee." I said and chuckled.

"Hey Water, ya alright? Ya've been quiet tonight." Aqua said to her.

"I'm fine, Aqua. I'm just thinking about what's taking the others so long." Water said.

"Yeah, I'm getting bored. Let's go exploring!" Crystal said.

"Yeah, exploring sounds fun. Wouldn't you agree Shining?" Cadance asked.

"Of course!" Shining said.

"But what about Blaze and the others?" Rainbow asked.

"I'm sure they'll be fine. Let's go." Water said. As we all walked into the Living Room, Rainbow looked up at the stairs, but saw nothing.

"Hey Rainbow?" I said, going back to her.

"What?" she asked.

I pointed to the stairs, and yelled; "SHTAIRS! SHTAIRS! SHTAIRS! SHTAIRS! SHTAIRS!"

"What?" she asked and chuckled.

"SHTAIRS! SHTAIRS! SHTAIRS!" I yelled.

She giggled again. "I heard you the first time." She gave me a noogie. "You silly Flare you!"

"That's me! Happy face." I said.

"Hey where's Fluttershy?" Crystal asked from the other room.

"I thought she was in there with you?" I asked.

"She's not in here." Crystal said.

"Fluttershy, where did you go?" Rainbow Dash asked yelling out.

"Hey Flutters, there's a bunny on fire out here." I said.

"A BUNNY?!" Fluttershy yelled, from behind the knights armor.

"Ah, I gotcha Flutters!" I said and chuckled. "There's no fire bunny out here."

"Flare, don't do that!" Fluttershy said.

"Fluttershy, get out from behind the armor." Rainbow said, as Water came in to catch things out.

"No!" Fluttershy yelled. "This place is too scary!"

"Look, if we stick together, we'll be fine." Rainbow said.

"No!" Fluttershy yelled.

"You know, there could be spiders in there." Water said.

"EEP!" Fluttershy bursted out of the knight's armor and landed on Rainbow.

"Wow, she's easy to trick." Water said.

"You have no idea, sis." I said to her.

"Well, I actually do now." she said.

Fluttershy hopped off of Rainbow. "Oh Rainbow Dash, I'm so sorry!" she said.

"Don't worry about it, it's cool." Rainbow said. Flutters helped her up.

"Are you sure we'll be alright?" Flutters asked.

"Of course. Just stick with me, and you'll be fine." Rainbow said, putting her hoof on her shoulder.

"Oh, um, okay." Flutters said.

"You know what else?" I asked. "SHTAIRS! SHTAIRS! SHTAIRS! SHTAIRS!" I yelled, pointing to the stairs again.

"Alright funny guy, let's meet up with the others." Water said.

"MOVE OVER!" AppleJack yelled, passing us, running upstairs.

"Wow, what's her problem?" Rainbow asked.

"It's the Gak!" Flutters cried. "EEEK!" She ran back into the armor.

"Hey, Flutters?" Water asked. "Spiders!"

"EEEK!" Flutters yelled, and jumped back out of the armor and landed on Rainbow again.

"Works every time." Water said and giggled.

"That's my sister. Mischievous face." I said, giving her a bro-hoof. My sister and I trotted on back with the others. Rainbow came back to her senses then glared at Flutters, then Flutters gave her an embarrassing smile, which gave out a little squee. Everypony in the other room was looking at the spooky looking living room.

"This place is so dusty!" Rarity said, scratching her flank. "Even though it's abandoned, it wouldn't hurt cleaning it from time to time."

"Ugh! What's taking the other's so long?" Shining asked.

"Yeah, it's really making us a bit worried." Cadance said.

"I dunno why it would take this long for them to do number 4." I said. "Psyche's too skinny to be doing number 4 this much. Or maybe that's what makes him skinny."

"What does number 4 mean?" Twilight asked.

"It means... BLEH!" Water said.

Twilight was silent for a moment. "... Okay." she said. She continued looking through books to find any clues. Crystal was looking around, and she went into the dining room alone.

"Whoa, nice dining room. Pretty fancy." Crystal said. She looked around the dining room for a little while, checking out the plates, silverware, and even the china cabinet. "Hmm." she said to herself, then she took out a satchel bag and started stealing all the expensive looking dining room supplies. She chuckled, and just as she was about to get out, Pinkie was standing right outside the door. "Oh, hey Pinkie! What's up?" Pinkie was only shadow though, Crystal couldn't see her face. Pinkie giggled, but more like a girly giggle. "Uh, Pinks, you alright?" Crystal asked.

"Let's have some fun!" Pinkie said.

"Wait a sec, what's wrong with your face?" Crystal asked, as Pinkie stepped inside. "Wait, is that... AAAAAAH!" Crystal yelled. From the other room, we heard her scream.

"That sounds like Crystal!" Aqua said.

"Sounds like she's having a blast in there!" Derpy said and chuckled.

"That doesn't sound like a fun scream." Engineer said. We all ran into the dining room, and Crystal wasn't there, neither was Pinkie.

"She's gone!" Water yelled.

"But look, there's a pile of Gak lying on the floor." Engineer said. We heard a giggle coming from the other room.

"That giggle kinda sounds like Whooves." Aqua said.

"What is this nonsense? Whooves doesn't giggle." Derpy said. We opened the door, Whooves was there, but we couldn't see his face.

"You wanna have some fun?" Whooves asked.

"Excuse me?" Twilight asked.

"The Doctor would never say anything like that. Who is this?" Derpy asked.

"It's me, the Doctor, and I need your help to brush my mane!" the Doctor said, coming in, revealing his face, which looks like a Generation 3 pony face. We all screamed after we saw it.

"Surprise face! What in the Wizard of Strength is this? A G3 pony? That's the scariest thing I've ever seen in my entire life!" I yelled.

"You think that's bad? Look at past generation Spikes." Spike said. "If you think I'm bad, just listen to Generation 1 Spike's voice. Eww!"

"Doctor! What happened to you?" Derpy yelled.

"I'm so glad nopony made a past generation of me." Shining said.

"Not even my magic can make a pony fall in love with that!" Cadance said.

Pinkie popped up, from behind Shining and Cadance, with a G3 face as well. "Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie! Let's party!" she said.

"Well, Pinkie always says that." Rainbow said.

"Hi Rainbow!" Blaze said to her and giggled. "You like a tomboy. Let's make you look more girly."

Rainbow screamed. "Blaze! What happened to you?!"

"I feel like rainbows and cotton candy and..." Blaze said, but Rainbow cut him off.

"That is not the Blaze I know and love! Twilight, what's going on?!" Rainbow screamed.

Psyche giggled. "But we love you. How about we have some fun?"

"That is NOT Psyche. He would never say that. Unless it was Okiku, or any mare. He would never say that to a stallion." I said.

"C'mon Flare. How about we play a little pony ball?" Psyche asked.

"Eww! Alright, Psyche, that G3 face looks ugly on you, and we need to take that off." I said.

"But I love my face." Psyche said.

"Oooookay, this is getting creepy." Water said.

"No doubt." Rarity said.

"Hey girls. Let's put on make up and write in our diaries." AppleJack said with a G3 face, and giggled.

"Twilight, what is going on?" Fluttershy asked.

"I'm assuming the Gak might be responsible for changing their faces and personality." Twilight said.

"Well we gotta fix this, and fast! Looking at Blaze right now is gonna make me want to divorce him." Rainbow said, with Blaze brushing her mane.

"RAINBOW?!" I yelled.

"I'm kidding, gosh. You'd think I'd do such a thing?" Rainbow asked.

"Wait a minute, what about Crystal?" Aqua asked. Crystal pounces on Rainbow Dash, and giggles.

"Hi Rainbow Dash! You want me to put on some make up on you?" Crystal asked, with the G3 face on her, as she dumps some Gak on her face.

"Rainbow!" Fluttershy yelled.

"We have to get out of here!" Shining yelled. "Let's barricade ourselves upstairs. Run!"

"SHTAIRS!" I yelled. So it was just me, Water, Twilight, Flutters, Rarity, Engineer, Aqua, Shining, Cadance, Spike, and Derpy left. We all ran back to the

lobby and ran upstairs, but G3 Pinkie, AJ, and Psyche blocked our path to the upper floors.

"You wanna make some cupcakes?" the three of them said at the same time. "They're really good. It's time to have alot of fun!"

"Ew, they're talking at the same time. Reminds me of the delightful children from down the lane." I said.

"Oh, Kids Next Door! I miss that show." Water said.

"Fun. Fun. Fun." All the infested ponies said at the same time.

"Move over!" I yelled, charinging up my horn. "Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-ooooooooooooo!" I was about to fire my giant laser at the infested ponies that were in the way, but they threw Gak at my horn, my horn backfired, and I started falling down the stairs. "OW, OW, SHTAIRS, SHTAIRS, OW, OW, SHTAIRS!" I landed on a table with a vase, the vase falls on my head and breaks, and I pass out.

"BRO!" Water yelled. "We gotta go get him!"

"No time, Water! Let's go!" Aqua yelled, grabbing her hoof. Water released her hoof quickly.

"No, I can't leave my bro behind, not after all he's done for me!" she yelled.

"Water, listen to me." Shining said, holding her shoulders. "I'm sure there will be a cure. Just leave him there, he'll be fine." Water looked down, very upsettingly.

"C'mon!" Aqua said, holding Water's hoof. They all ran upstairs, leaving me down there, right after I saved their lives. So selfish! Just wait until I wake

up again. So they ran upstairs to the attic and barricaded the door.

"Alright, I think we're safe. For now." Shining said.

"What are we gonna do now?" Fluttershy asked.

"Look for a cure a of course. Twilight? I believe this is your part." Cadance said.

"Right. I'm not really sure how to cure this infection." Twilight said. "Nor have I ever seen anything like this. This Gak, and G3. I'm not really sure what a G3 is."

"Well, how could we find any info. Ah'm sure if this gak stuff was here, whoever left it might've been researchin it. Either that or wastin it." Engineer said.

"Well this is a mansion, I'm sure there's library somewhere." Cadance said.

Twilight bucked herself in the head. "Of course. Why didn't I think of that? It's so obvious." she laughed.

"Ya think we were followed?" Engineer asked.

"Maybe we should find away around." Cadance said. Water was just standing in the other side of the room, glaring at them.

"Uhh, you alright Water?" Twilight asked.

"Nopony talk to me." she said, angrily.

"What's her problem?" Derpy asked.

"She's upset because we left Flare behind." Spike said.

"Actually I was mad, because how could we all be so stupid in going to a Nightmare Night party in an abandoned mansion in the Everfree Forest." Water said.

"But now that you reminded me, I'm even more angry now! Angry face!"

"You're doing the leet speak now?" Rarity asked, scratching her flank.

"I always have. It runs in the family." Water said. "What's wrong with you Rarity? You've been scratching your flank ever since AppleJack was messing with you."

"I don't know, darling. But I certainly feel a little..." Rarity's face turned green, and she ran unbarricaded the door real quick so she can do her business, but the infested ponies were waiting on the other side. They saw Rarity's plot, and there was some gak on it. Oh yeah, after AJ ran into Rarity before, some of the gak got on her. But it turns out it didn't infect her too fast since it wasn't on her face like the others.

"Oh Winnie the Pooh Bear in the Big Blue House of Mouse Detectives." Water said, talking like they were doomed.

"I'll distract them, you all take the vent shafts outta here." Shining said.

"Shining, no!" Cadance yelled.

"I'll be fine. Just take Twilie to the Library so she can find a cure. GO!" Shining yelled. Rarity collapsed on the floor, yelling.

"What is this disgusting crude stuff doing to my face!?" Rarity yelled. "My beautiful face!"

"C'mon! This way!" Spike yelled, opening the vent shaft. "Alright, so one of you go first."

"Why we go first?" Water asked.

"Saves the best for last. Besides I'm the short one. If one of falls on me, I'll be squished." he said.

"Move over, I wanna go first. The first is always the best!" Derpy said. "Cannonball!" She jumped into the vent shaft, but the vent shaft only went down,

because as a coincidence, and because of the lack of time in this story, the ducts just lead right to the library. Derpy went head first, then... I don't

wanna say who went in order, so I'll say everypony else went next. Twilight and Spike were about to jump down after, but Rarity stopped screaming, and revealed her G3 face.

"Hello darlings. How about a slumber party after shopping in the mall?" G3 Rarity asked.

"Ew, too girly." Spike said.

"I dunno, I might get used to this." Twilight said.

"Twilight!" Spike yelled.

"Sorry, sorry." Twilight said embarrassingly. She jumped into the vent with Spike behind her. After they got to the bottom, Twilight blocked the vent with one of the book shelves. "There, that should keep them for now."

"So ya think we'll find what were lookin fer in here?" Engineer asked.

"Perhaps. It's only a hunch though, Engineer. But I'm assuming that whatever we're dealing with, might have clues around somewhere." Twilight said. "So split up, and see if you can find anything."

"I found a paper clip." Derpy said.

"I mean info for whatever we're dealing with, Ditzy." Twilight said.

"Actually, I am having a little conflict with paper clips, you see." Derpy said.

"Why's that?" Cadance asked. Derpy was having a flashback of her in her kitchen. She was seasoning her muffins that she baked, and was filing a couple of mail letters together. Her daughter Dinky came into the room and wanted help with her homework. Ditzy's a good mom, so she helped her out, although she didn't stop filing or seasoning, but out of her confusion, she was seasoning the files, and putting the paper clips on the muffins. After she baked them, she wanted to eat one, but she started choking on a paper clip that was inside. Then of course, all flashbacks must end. Sad really. She's lucky to be alive right now. But everypony loves her, she can't die yet.

"Why did you continue filing and seasoning? Why didn't you know that happened, let alone know that there were paper clips inside?" Spike asked.

"I'm not a perfect pony." Derpy said.

"We figured." Water said. They heard a beating on the library door.

"We better hurry. It won't be long until they get inside." Aqua said.

"Twilight, ah think ah found something that might help." Engineer said.

"What did you find?" Twilight asked. She takes the book and takes a look at it. "Deal With Corrupted Office Supplies, For Dummies?"

"Ooo, I might need that one." Derpy said. "I mean, I'm no dummy, but this might solve my paper clip problem."

"Engie, I'm looking for something to cure Gak." Twilight said.

"Um, Twilight?" Fluttershy said.

"Hang on, Fluttershy." Twilight said. "Aqua, did you find anything?"

"Only alot of books that won't really help our current problem." he said. The pound on the door continued, and really fast too. Did I just rhyme? I have no idea.

"We don't have much time, Twilight." Cadance said.

"Hey Twilight, I don't think you're looking for 'Cure to Gak' right?" Water asked, carrying that particular book.

"Actually, that is what I'm looking for. Thank you, Water!" she said, taking the book. The door was almost broken opened, so Twilight quickly looked through the book to find the cure, but before she can find the cure, the door was kicked opened, and there was a shadow there. They all screamed, but they didn't even know it was me. HA! I got 'em! What a twist!

"Flare?!" Fluttershy yelled.

"Oh hey bro! You're safe!" Water said, as she hugged me. "We thought you were in infected?"

"Seriously, I saved your lives and you left me down there?" I asked. "Like seriously actually? I find this a big disappointment."

"Sorry Flare. We had no choice. We were come back for you eventually." Twilight said.

"Yeah, that's what they all say." I said.

"Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

"What is it, Fluttershy?" she asked.

"I-I think I'm infected." Fluttershy said.

"What? I don't see any infection on you?" Spike said.

"Uh oh. Ah think ah'm infected as well." Engineer said.

"Why am I feeling all itchy?" Aqua asked.

"Oh no! It's the books! They all have gak in them!" Cadance yelled.

"Not just that. This carpet. It's... dried up gak!" Twilight cried.

"We're all infected!" Derpy yelled. Then everypony starting screaming.

"Wait a sec. Time out. Time out." Engineer said, then we all stopped screaming. "Flare had gak on his horn. Why isn't he infected?"

"Oh, I-D-K." I said. Then the gak that was on Engineer's hoof fell off. Why? Well do I have to rush? You'll find out.

"The gak fell out of mah hoof." Engineer said.

"No, you don't say? LOL!" I said. "Oops, I'm sorry, I promised I wouldn't use leet speak. It won't happen again." Then the gak that was on everypony else fell off.

"Hey, I'm not feeling itchy anymore." Aqua said.

"Wonder why's that. LOL I guess it doesn't like you." Water said.

"I'm sorry, but may I say this?" Fluttershy asked.

"You just did, ROFLMAO!" I said.

"I was felt like I was about to be sick, but... suddenly I don't." Fluttershy said.

"Hmm, I wonder why's that?" Spike asked.

"Hmm." Twilight looked at the gak on her hoof. "LOL." she said, then the gak fell out. "Flare! It's your leet speak! The gak don't like it."

"Huh? I'm sorry, I said I was gonna stop!" I cried.

"No, it's a good thing, Flare!" Twilight said.

"How is it good? I just offended the gak." I said.

"But they're falling off. I think we found our cure." she said.

"I wonder if it helps with the ponies that are already infected." Spike suggested.

"There's only one way to find out." Aqua said. Then Shining came into the room, with his G3 face. He giggled.

"Hi everypony. You want some tea? How much sugar? One scoop or two?" he asked.

"I-D-K, what you think?" I asked. Shining's nose went back to normal.

"I love you, Twilight Sparkle. We should totally paint our nails!" Shining said.

"For one, he never calls me by my full name, he calls me Twiley. Second, do these hooves have nails to you?" Twilight asked, holding her hoof in front of him.

"Leet speak, Twilight. Leet speak!" Spike said.

"Oh, um... LOL?" Twilight was confused, because she doesn't really know much about it. Regardless, his eyes turned back to normal.

"Hey Twilight, how about making those leet speaks a little more interesting? Say a sentence." I suggested.

"Okay." she said.

"Not O-K. Just Kay." I said.

"Okay-oops I mean, kay." she said and giggled.

"No giggling. Only lulz." I said.

"I don't know if I could do this, Flare." Fluttershy said.

"Of course you can, Flutters. It's nothing to worry about! Just say what I said." I told her. She smiled at me and nodded. So we all splitted up. Wait, is 'splitted' the word I'm looking for? Whatever, you catch my drift. So Twilight and Spike were together, and they found AppleJack and Doctor.

"LOL, hey Twilight? Did you catch that episode of Walking Dead last night?" Spike asked.

"LOL, yes I did! B-T-W, the fighting scenes were pretty bloody. ROFL." she said.

"Kay, Twilight, seriously. It just doesn't sound right when you do it, I'm sorry." Spike said.

"Don't worry about it, Spike." Twilight said to him with a smile. AppleJack's and Doctor's face both went back to normal.

"Uhh? What just happened?" AppleJack asked.

"Somehow I felt all... last generation, and I don't mean that in the possible way that I normally use the meaning of 'last generation'." Doctor said.

"Sugarcube, ah have no idea what yer talkin about." AppleJack said.

Derpy and Cadance find Rarity and Rainbow Dash, and cure them. Fluttershy finds Pinkie, but was really nervous, because she didn't know what to do. Pinkie giggles at her.

"C'mon Fluttershy, let's go pet cute animals." she said.

"I-um, don't really see how her personality is a problem." Flutters said, but her mind was changed quickly after she looked at her face. "Ooo! But that face.

I'm sorry, Pinkie. But that face has gotta... go. Right? So, um, L-O-L? If that's alright with you?"

"Cupcakes! Yay!" Pinkie cried in her G3 face, but her face suddenly goes back to normal. "Cupcakes! Yay!" she said with her normal face.

I don't feel like saying what everypony else did, but I'll skip to the part where we all met back in the lobby. Everypony was saved.

"Phew! Blaze, are you back to normal?" Rainbow asked.

"I don't know. What do you think?" Blaze asked.

"Yeah, you're back!" she said and hugged him.

"Don't ever get me near that gak stuff again. We certainly need to get this place quarinated." Psyche said.

"Oh, it's so good having my old face back." Rarity said.

"I never thought having a G3 face was so terrible! Did I really look that bad?" Crystal asked.

"I'm afraid so." Crystal said.

"Alright, the only thing left we need to do is find a way out." Shining said. Big Macintosh suddenly kicked the door opened.

"Wow, whah haven't ah thought of that before? This party still goin on?" Big Mac asked.

"Nope, sorry big brother. Ya'll just missed the fun!" AppleJack teased him.

"What is this? Did you not read the sign at the gate? Do not enter, for Celestia's sake!" Zecora said, walking inside giggling.

"Zecora? What are you doing here?" Blaze asked.

"I came to see what the fuss is about. You seem to have touched that stuff that would make you look worse than a trout." Zecora said. "It appears I was

right, that stuff was bad. But you've past the test, it's what you had."

"You knew about the gak all along?" Water asked.

"Ya'll were testin us?" AppleJack asked.

"I need to find out what this stuff really was. But I couldn't remember after the results I caused." Zecora said. "It seems after when this stuff infects

you, you can't remember a thing right through."

"Yeah, I don't really remember anything when I was infected." Psyche said.

"You tested us? Normally, I would be the one hosting all the tests." I said.

"Well I'm glad I found out what that stuff was really about. I found them over at the east side of the swamp." Zecora said.

"So who gave us the party invitations?" Pinkie asked.

"Who do you think, Pinkie?" Rainbow asked.

"I didn't do it." Pinkie said. Rainbow gave herself a facehoof. "I kinda liked having that kind of face. Maybe I'll do it again!"

"Yes I gave you the invitation for this false party, so you can test out this stuff, but it wasn't too bad really." Zecora said.

"Well... you lied to us. Soooooo, is there a real party you can host?" I asked.

"Well... no. But you I thought you wouldn't mind so." Zecora said. I just glared at Zecora. A couple of hours later, we were back in Ponyville, and having a real Nightmare Night party, and there was even a dunk tank there, which we used to dump Zecora in a puddle of gak. We went to see how she felt about being a

G3 Zebra. It's best that you don't know what she looked like. Eww! Well, this wasn't much of a Nightmare Night story, it could've gone better. But... we

didn't learn a thing about friendship, so I couldn't put any of that in my letter to Luna. Soooooo... BOO! Did I scare you? Happy Nightmare Night, brahs! Or... Happy Halloween, whatever you call it.
