Prologue: Nightmare Night

Author's note
It's Halloween, folks...or in this case, Nightmare Night in Equestria as I'm working on a My Little Pony version of Mickey's House of Villains. Despite what folks may say about this film, I pretty much enjoy it

So I hope you all enjoy, let's begin!

It is that time again in Equestria....where characters of the My Little Pony series of past and present would hang out when they aren't doing episodes or doing stories. They have a nightclub which was introduced by Princess Celestia so that the characters can hang out, eat, watch cartoons, all that jazz...as well as when authors aren't going stories on them.

Celestia of course needs the right staff for the club, which is why she volunteers her faithful student Twilight Sparkle to be in charge of the club, letting everyone in...including the villains under the condition that they don't pull off any evil schemes or deeds. The bad guys of course hate the idea but have to agree reluctantly.

And thus the club, called 'House of Pony', Twilight would host while her friends would help out. On the offstage side keeping a schedule of acts is the unicorn's boyfriend Ben Mare, Princess Celestia's son and an Earth pony who can fly and use magic due to his Triforce Element. Twilight and Ben would hang out and date a lot of times, making them the golden couple of Equestria.

Also, keeping an eye of things is Twilight's little assistant and adopted brother/son Spike the Dragon who announce each job and act on the job. Then there's Rainbow Dash, the holder of the Element of Loyalty who is the doorman and greeter who greets the guests coming into the club.

Then there's Rarity, whose arrange seats for the guests which allows Spike, whenever he isn't announcing stuff, to come over to help her out. The little dragon has a crush on the unicorn, no doubt about that.

Now for the kitchen staff of course are Mr. and Mrs. Cake, who did their best to cook meal for the guests and keep the feed from their foals Pound and Pumpkin Cake who would love to eat. Their employee Pinkie Pie helps weight tables as long as she does her best not to goof around. The pony doesn't find the job too bad, especially since she gets help from Fluttershy and her little animal friends.

Outside opening the doors for the house is Twilight's big brother Shining Armor who also helps in parking the car. Not much of a job but at least the unicorn helps his sister in anyway.

And then there's the house band that's made up of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Applejack's sister Apple Bloom, Rarity's sister Sweetie Belle and Rainbow's fan Scootaloo who performs on their instruments and change their band's name and appearance. In this case, they are wearing the same outfits from a talent show gone wrong, calling themselves 'Goth Foals'.

And then there's Applejack who is in charge of working the lights and showing the cartoons for the guests to enjoy.

Tonight is Nightmare Night, a very special night that Twilight has planned for a special evening...but it will also be one that the ponies will never forget...

-----------------

Shining glances and smiles at the folks coming in for the festivities of Nightmare Night. Of course, the unicorn couldn't help but notice that most villains of the shows and fan-fictions are appearing, followed by the good guys. Of course, Shining shrugs it off; nothing new.

Suddenly Shining yelps as the ground begins to shake. He recovers and saw a huge cave appearing from the ground which a familiar unicorn villain came out of: Smaug, Trixie Lulamoon's father and the leader of the Apocalypse Ponies, once he is shown that is.

Smaug gave the 'keys' to the cave the Shining, remarking, "Happy Nightmare Night", while passing by. The white unicorn blinks in surprise. This villain looks calm tonight for some reason.

The guests pass by the front desk inside the club as Rainbow smirks while looking at what she's wearing in a mirror: a devil. The Pegasus pony remarks, "Oh yeah, this is going to be awesome! I'm going to scare everypony tonight for sure!

"You, scare ponies," A familiar voice scoffs as Rainbow frowns at his friend Rarity, who is wearing a witch's hat. The female unicorn scoffs, "Forgive me but with your fashion sense on the scare-o-meter, you can only scare Fluttershy. No one else would take your seriously."

"She's right, Dashie!" Pinkie exclaims happily while bouncing in with a pumpkin on her head for some reason. "I doubt you can scare anypony dressed like up one big red bunny! That would be cute honestly.

"'Bunny; Cute'," Rainbow ask in shock and annoyance. No one would take her seriously?! "Oh, I'll show you..."

Rarity rolls her eyes while Rainbow flew off on a quest to scare the guests. Of course, by the time this show is over, there's no way of that happening for sure...

-------

Ben Mare was wearing a vampire costume as he makes final preparations. The stallion peek out at the audience who are applauding...of course, most of them are villains like the evil centaur Tirek, Boris, the Flim-Flam Brothers, Nightmare Moon (Luna's former evil self), Tadaka, Spikezilla (evil version of Spike), Roclan (Lorcan's evil self), the Diamond Dogs, Garble, Psycho Pie, Crarity and more.

"Err, Twilight? Now call me paranoid but I think there's a lot more villains than usual tonight." Ben points out to Twilight, who is wearing her own vampire costume while looking at herself in a mirror. "Maybe we should double the guard."

"Relax, Ben. It's Nightmare Night and besides there's always a lot of villains who arrived at this club." Twilight said with a confident smile. "It's Nightmare Night and those villains promised not to be up to any dirty tricks. Plus, if they try anything, we will stop them as usual or get the princess to help."

"Yeah, maybe...but I'm a little concerned. Villains are known to break promises or lie. And I'm worry since mom is busy ruling Equestria right now and Aunt Luna..."

"Ben, I assure you, everything's going to be fine."

Ben wishes that he can share Twilight's POV right now especially when it comes to these villains.

---------

Twilight doesn't realize it but Ben was right to be suspicious about the amount of villains. For at a table, some of them are gathered for a special meeting which consists of Smaug himself, the queen of the Changelings Chrysalis, the evil lizard mad scientist Dr. Lizardo, Smaug's fellow Apocalypse Pony member Rainbow Chaos who is Rainbow Dash's self from a version where she has turned traitor and is disloyal, and Trixie herself.

"We are once again at the House of Chaos, spending Nightmare Night while watching shows performed by that showoff mare Twilight Sparkle." Trixie said with an annoyed sigh (of course, which is her being a hypocrite). "All treats, but we can't do any tricks! Why if Trixie is in charge, I would run things a little bit differently."

"Yes, with a little splash of evil and love absorbing!" Chrysalis agrees with an evil smirk.

"Pillage, plunger and destroy anyone who gets in the way!" Dr. Lizardo exclaims with a sinister chuckle. All the villains got the idea: they want to cause major trouble but can't due to one major rule imposed by Celestia: no evil plans or deeds.

"Ugh, this is ridiculous always the same thing!" Rainbow Chaos groans in annoyance while trotting near Smaug who roll his eyes. "All talk, but no play. What a bunch of lame and dull villains! If I wasn't here to get entertained, I would ditch this scene!"

"Oh, not tonight, Rainbow Chaos because this year, we're going to do things a little differently," Smaug said sinisterly while using his magic to show a watch to his cohorts. "I got a special plan in store for Twilight and her friends...but it's best to wait until midnight to do so."

"Lame idea. Why not now?"

"We would but we inform the other villains of the plan and let our enemies think that nothing will go wrong tonight; Chrysalis, spread the word and let the other villains know that we will take the House of Pony by midnight."

"With pleasure," Chrysalis said sinisterly as Dr. Lizardo laughs eagerly. Tonight is going to be a rough night indeed...

Chapter 1: Rainbow Dash's Trick or Treat

Author's note
To Mr. Anonymous, yes, it is the first time. Second, no, no plans to make fanmakes of that film yet.

To Greenrob, I may have a role for Goldenheart near the end of the story.

VISION-KING, continue reading and I hope you can see 'Disney's House of Mouse' and the specials based on it.

To Billy Arratoon, I don't know. I think Tom Kane did a good job but I can still use the suggestion.

And finally to cairon-g400, thanks for telling me that; I fixed it.

Now, on with the show!

Spike came on stage in a ghost outfit, booming, "Booooo! It's an Equestria Nightmare Night at the House of Pony! Get your garlic and meet the hostess with the mostess...here's Countess Twilight Sparkle!"

Spike leaves the stage as bats flew around. With some smoke effect, Twilight appears in her cloak, giving out a scary Dracula voice, "Blah! Welcome...welcome my little ponies." The mare chuckles while tossing the cloak aside. "Ha! I love Nightmare Night, one of those times based on Nightmare Moon! There has been a lot of scary happenings all over Equestria! Why, I heard that Grogar is throwing a party! You know, it's easy to get to his place. Just take a right at Tambelon!"

The audience laughs at the joke, especially the evil goat ruler of Tambelon Grogar who pounds at his table while booming, "Ha ha ha! Why, it's funny because it is so true!"

"I even saw Discord, the God of Chaos and Disharmony! That guy is really painting the town 'stone dead'."

Discord at his table chuckles a bit while saying, "Oh, I love that one."

"Recently, I've heard of some shindig over at the Diamond Dog Caverns!" Twilight exclaims making Nyx and Pipsqueak a bit concerned. "There's a B-Y-O-G! Bring Your Own Gems!"

The two yelps as Fido, one of the Diamond Dogs, appears at the table, chuckling a bit before swiping Pipsqueak and Nyx's food, making them protest, "Hey!" Of course, the Diamond Dog ignores them as he rushes off.

"Thanks for coming because we got some cartoons in store for all of you tonight! Let's start off the fun with this tricky Nightmare Night tale called 'Rainbow Dash's Trick or Treat'!" Twilight exclaims. The audience cheers as Applejack starts the cartoon.

JusSonic presents...

Chorus: Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat for Nightmare Night
Better give a treat that's good to eat
If you want to keep life serene

Trick or Treat(Trick or Treat)
Trick or Treat(Trick or Treat)
Trick or Treat(Trick or Treat)
Trick or Treat the whole night through
Little scalawags with fiendish gags
Can make it tough on you

So when ghosts and goblins by the score
Ring the bell on your front door
Better not be stingy or
Your nightmares will come true

It was nighttime in Ponyville as a church bell begins to ring. Outside is someone flying on a broomstick, she is a female zebra with turquoise eyes, a striped Mohawk mane of white and dark gray, and a coat that is striped of dark and light gray. She wears ornate jewelry, a cloak and some makeup and has a spiral sun for a cutie mark. Her name is Zecora.

"Yes, peaceful night for Nightmare Night tonight. Perfect to perform witchy side justice and jokes on the stingy," Zecora said with a smile. She flew over to a bell tower and saw some eyes in there. The zebra performs a scary face and uses a spell to ring the bell, scaring the bats, the owners of the eyes away.

Zecora laughs a bit then uses her broomstick to tiptoe on some fence nearby, covering her eyes with her hood. The zebra came across a black cat that is on the fence as well.

Zecora then removes her hoof and booms, "Boo!" This causes the black cat to screech and run off. The zebra chuckles and flew over the fence. That was fun!

Suddenly Zecora came across a pumpkin...that begins to move. The zebra yelps in alarm as she and her broomstick hid behind a tree. The two peek out...and saw the pumpkin moving.

"What is this?" Zecora ask puzzled by what happened.

Sure enough saw that the pumpkin is actually riding on a pony's head as they go down the hallway and came through a gate. The zebra saw and recognize three little fillies known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders which consists of Apple Bloom wearing a ghost outfit with the pumpkin on her head, Sweetie Belle who is wearing a devil outfit and Scootaloo who is wearing a witch outfit.

The three fillies hum a tune while going up the cloudway (thanks to some cloud walking magic from Twilight) and heading up to the door of Rainbow Dash.

"Well, it's Apple Bloom and her friends, trick or treating, no doubt." Zecora said with a smile. "It warms my heart to see them out this late for trick or treating...along with some scares are provided later."

With a smirk, Apple Bloom uses her pitchfork to ring the doorbell. Rainbow Dash is inside, sitting on the couch when she hears the doorbell rang. The mare spoke up, "Oh, that must be the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Hmmm, maybe instead of treats..."

Rainbow smirks mischievously as he push a fruit bowl aside and took out some firecracker. Oh, this is going to be so much fun pranking those three ponies!

Rainbow heads to the door and opens it while saying, "Hey girls."

"Trick or Treat, Rainbow Dash!" The Cutie Mark Crusaders exclaims, holding out their bags to Rainbow whose begin putting in firecrackers, unknown to the three foals, into their bags.

"Well, well; One for you...one for you...and one for you."

"Thanks, Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo exclaims to Rainbow with a smile.

Without warning, the firecrackers went off in the bag, exploding like mad and causing big holes. Zecora is startled by this as her broom begins flying around like mad. The zebra quickly works to calm it down while saying, "Whoa, steady old boy. Steady...." She pats the broom after it stops freaking out.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders frowns a bit as Rainbow laughs hysterically by her prank, "Oh man! That was so histerical! Now, here's your treat!" The mare grab a string with her mouth and pull it, causing a raincloud that Rainbow has put up earlier to pour rain right onto them, "Ha ha ha ha! Oh man; Later, girls!"

Rainbow laughs as she goes back into her house and closes the door. Sweetie groans, "Not fair! Why did Rainbow Dash has to do that to us?"

"Ah done like a good prank like she does but 'dis ain't right." Apple Bloom groans a bit.

"Aw, bless their little pony hearts." Zecora said in sadness and pity. Her little friends got pranked big time by Rainbow. Well, the zebra must do something to help the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

----------

We see the three foals on the sidewalk, looking down in sadness. They want their candy but felt that what Rainbow did was mean and unfair. It looks hopeless.

Suddenly Zecora flew down on her broomstick while saying, "Apple Bloom and friends, I've saw what happened as well as heard. Down, broom; thank you."

"Zecora," Apple Bloom gasps as she and her friends saw and recognize Zecora, the zebra from Everfree Forest. "What is yew doing here?"

"Well, I am out doing my usual Nightmare Night activities." Zebra said as she pats Sweetie on the Mane then goes up to Rainbow's house. "I believe I can help get your candy one way or another."

Rainbow, inside her house, was reading the magazine when the doorbell rang, making her smirk while saying, "Oh cool! Another one to prank," The Pegasus pony flew to the door and open, seeing Zecora outside.

"Rainbow Dash, you remember for I am Zecora, the zebra from the Everfree Forest!"

"Ha ha ha! Nice costume! Even I know that Zecora doesn't go out trick or treating!"

Rainbow pulls on Zecora's snout, making her yelp then flew up and hit the cloud, sending more rain right onto the zebra. Zecora frowns as the Pegasus pony laughs and goes back into her house, closing the door.

"It appears that the holder of the Element of Loyalty has gone too far in her pranks...and is tougher than I thought." Zecora said as she goes back to the Cutie Mark, getting the water off of herself. It's time to teach Rainbow a lesson. The zebra huddle up with the fillies; the broom tries to get into the conversion. "Listen up, my filly friends. Here's something I want you to do. I need some gruesome ingredients, a cauldron of swamp water..."

----------

Zecora is in her hut back at the Everfree Forest, beginning the progress of teaching Rainbow a lesson. The zebra chants as she prepares her cauldron, "Double Double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble." Her face changes colors as she begins reciting the ingredients that the Cutie Mark Crusaders put into the cauldron itself."Eye of needle, tongue of shoe, hand at clock that points at 2."

Scootaloo trots up to Zecora who whispers to the confused filly, "Yes, this is a real ting...right out of Billie Goat Shakespeare." The zebra continues her spell, her face changes colors as her friends put in more of the ingredients, "Neck of bottle, tail of coat, uh, whiskers from the Billy goat!"

"Here yew go; Zecora." Apple Bloom said as she gave the whisker to Zecora.

"Repulsive, yes," Zecora then drops the hair into the cauldron and ducks as a magic blast came out of it. The fillies look in amazement while the zebra cackles a bit. "Oh yes, that is a delightfully gruesome reaction."

Zecora tastes the potion then suddenly goes around the room like firecrackers explodes, spinning around as the Cutie Mark Crusaders watch on.

Once Zecora slows down, the zebra gargles the potion, "My friends; this stuff is loaded."

Zecora then pulls out a fireplace blower and filles the stuff with the potion; Time for some fun and payback. The zebra whistles for her broom whose comes to her. Zecora and her friends got on it and fly into the sky with smiles.

-----------------

Rainbow reward herself with some grapes from the pantry for a job well done for her pranks. But as she eats on, the pony heard a cackle, making her ask in confusion, "What the hay?"

Rainbow flew over to the window, seeing a surprising sight outside: it's Zecora with the Cutie Mark Crusaders...on her broomstick! Scootaloo exclaims eagerly, "Oh yeah!" Rainbow rubs her eyes in shock.

"No way; I don't believe it! That trick or treater earlier...was really Zecora?!"

A familiar chorus begins to sing as Zecora begins squirting the potion onto a jack-o-lantern, causing it to come to life.

Chorus: Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat for Nightmare Night
When the pumpkin shells
Casts evil spells

The jack o-lantern flies over to Rainbow and moans, scaring her big time. Zecora now spray the potion onto a paintbrush in green paint, causing it to come to life and paint the Pegasus pony's house green.

Your little white house turns green
Your little white house turns green
Your little white house turns green[

"Man, this is crazy!" Rainbow said as she opens her other window, causing her face to get painted by the magic paintbrush. Zecora then uses the potion on a couple of fence pots, turning them into ghosts who sang.

Ghosts: Every post is a ghost
If you got a witch's brew

With a smirk, Zecora then sprays the potion right onto a gate, causing it to start floating.

And if you want your gate to circulate

Ghost 1 (as he strung the gate like a harp): We can do that too

Rainbow shivers in fright as the ghosts and jack-o-lantern came to her door, one of them rang the doorbell. Perhaps she made a big mistake in pranking Zecora earlier.

Ghosts: Trick or Treat(Trick or Treat)
Trick or Treat(Trick or Treat)
Trick or Treat(Trick or Treat)
Trick or Treat for Nightmare Night
When ghost and goblins by the score
Ring the bell on your front door
You better not be stingy or…

Rainbow opens the door, the pony yelps as one of the ghosts rubs her heads before they disappear. The jack-o-lantern sang the last line.

Jack-o-lantern: Your nightmares will come true

Once the pumpkin is gone, Zecora and the Cutie Mark Crusaders flew into the house, knocking Rainbow back and pinning her to the pantry door. The zebra demands, "Now, Miss Dash, shall you treat or not? Because I got more tricks in store if you don't!"

"Right, right, no problem," Rainbow said nervously. The last thing she wants is to anger Zecora, even by accident. Once the four on the broom got off, the Pegasus pony opens the pantry and starts taking the candy out, mumbling to herself.

"What did I tell you, my friends? Miss Rainbow Dash here, despite being the fastest flyer in Equestria, a tough pony and an Element holder, is indeed a pushover." Zecora remarks to the Cutie Mark Crusaders, making Sweetie giggle a bit. However, Rainbow heard her and she isn't pleased.

"A pushover; I will show you 'pushover'!" Rainbow then throws the treats back into the pantry and close the door, locking it up with a key. "See this key?"

The mare shows the key to Zecora then swallows it before the zebra could grab it from Rainbow. Zecora listens as the key itself goes down the mare's throat, landing in her stomach. Rainbow smirks a bit. Now who's the pushover?

"Well, looks like I will have to put a spell on you. I may not have given you the Poison Joke effects on you when we met before but I can still cast other spells should you upset me." Zecora said to Rainbow sternly. Before the Pegasus pony can escape, the zebra's broom suddenly grabs her holding the pony up. Zecora sprays Rainbow's feet while doing a recitement, "Hocus pocus, magic shower, put her feet within my power."

Once Zecora's done, the broom releases Rainbow who yelps as she finds herself dancing around uncontrollably. Her feet levitate without the Pegasus pony flying before turning turquoise.

"What the hay is that stuff, Zecora?" Rainbow asks Zecora, not liking where this is going at all.

"Feet, kick that key out," Zecora orders the feet. Suddenly Rainbow finds herself without control of her feet as they begin to hit and kick herself all over, trying to get the key out. "Hee hee, look at her dance!"

Zecora, deciding to have fun, begins using her broom like a banjo and sings as if like a square dance.

Zecora: Oh dance with your feet as fast as you can
Now flipping like a flapjack in a pan
A hopping and a-jumpin like a meat on the griddle
The key for the door and the key for the fiddle

As Rainbow finds herself being forced to hit herself, the key came out of her mouth but the Pegasus pony swallows itself in time. Rainbow yelps as she hit her head onto a couple of pots then fell down on the floor, dancing without control.

[I/]Dosey-do now mind the rules
With your old flat feet just a-kicking like mules

Rainbow's legs flew up as she begins acting like a mule while dancing. The pony frantically held onto the rug while Zecora squits the potion onto a cactus, making it crush while the dancing continues.

So promenade the way out west
That's where the cactus grows the best

Rainbow yelps in pain as she unwittingly poke her flank onto a cactus, causing the pony to spit out the key. But the mare caught it with her mouth; she isn't going to give up just yet!

Now swing down south and turn on the heat

To Rainbow's horror, she saw that her feet are taking her right to the fireplace. The pony does her best to hold onto the rug and the cloudy floor but nothing's working.

Now end the dance
And take your seat

Once the song is over, Rainbow ends up sitting on some coal in the fireplace. She spits the key out of her mouth, causing it end on the floor.

"What did I tell you? Nothing to it," Zecora said to the Cutie Mark Crusaders with a smile; Looks like she has won.

"No way, I am not going down like that!" Rainbow exclaims as she flew in and grabs the key. With a smirk, she throws it right under the pantry door and right out of reach. The pony laughs, "Let's see you get into that pantry now! That's my only key!"

"Oh, that's it! You made me mad now!" Zecora exclaims furiously then begins to spray more of the potion onto Rainbow's feet and extra on the wings. "I'll cast a spell as double grim. Smash that door down feet and wings...with her, eh?"

Rainbow realizes that she has really push Zecora too far: her own feet and now her wings are turning pink...and they are sending her right to the pantry door!

"No, wait, no," Rainbow protest but she ends up hitting the door repeatedly like mad. The mare groans a bit, getting dizzy and the pony is getting a black eye. Rainbow isn't having a good night.

"This hurts me worst than it does you. Now take a longer flight...ABOUT A MILE OR TWO!" Zecora ordered, spraying Rainbow's wings and feet, causing the pony to leave her house and fly a mile away from the place, "All right, my little ponies, get ready."

Rainbow, without a choice in the matter, flies very fast as she goes back into her house like mad; Zecora and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who went outside, got out of the way as she flew past them. They heard a crashing noise inside the house, making them look and saw that Rainbow has broke down the pantry door.

The fillies cheers eagerly as Zecora said with a smile, "I knew she would listen to reason sooner or later." Sure enough, Rainbow is now in the remains of the pantry door, knocked out with her feet and wings going back to normal, the broom sweep of the broke wood and dust.

"Hooray fer Rainbow Dash!" Apple Bloom cheers as she and her friends fill their bags with treats.

"I knew you would come through for us!" Scootaloo chuckles a bit to her knocked out idol.

Rainbow groans as she got up, "No way, I won't do it." The broom of course hits the mare on the head, knocking her out again.

"Well, I got more Nightmare Night activities, come broom." Zecora said as she got back onto her broom then flew up into the sky. "Goodbye, my little ponies!"

"Bye, Zecora and thanks!" Sweetie giggles as she and her friends wave a hoof to Zecora, thanking her for helping them together.

"Bye now!" Apple Bloom exclaims. As Zecora waves goodbye and flew off, the chorus sang one last time.

Chorus: So when ghosts and goblins by the score
Ring the bell or pound your door
Better not be stingy or
Your nightmares will come true

The jack-o-lantern appears to the audience and booms out, "BOO!" He smiles as the cartoon came to an end.

--------------

Once the cartoon ended, the audience applauds, having fun. Twilight smiles proudly. Looks like the Nightmare Night party has begun!

Author's note
Poor Rainbow, but she did got taught a lesson. In the next chapter called 'Twilight's Mechanical House', the mare, Spike and Nyx lives in a mechanical house...gone out of control! Read, review and suggest.

Grogar, the villain from the first series of My Little Pony, is in the role of Chernabog.

Nyx and Pipsqueak are in the roles of Simba and Nala.

Zecora is in the role of Witch Hazel.

Chapter 2: Twilight's Mechanical House

Rainbow watch as the guests is cheering for the cartoon's end. The pony shakes her while looking for someone to scare off. Just then, the mare spots an Ursa Minor coming into the place.

"Finally, somepony to scare and a baby Ursa Minor at that," Rainbow exclaims eagerly. She flew in front of the Ursa Minor and lands in front of him, making a scary face, "BOO!"

The Ursa Minor of course roars at Rainbow, causing the pony to scream and fly off. Perhaps it wasn't a good idea to try to scare this big guy.

Back on stage, Twilight introduces the next cartoon, "Nightmare Night treats can be really spooky like mechanical houses that act kind of kooky. So, sit back, relax, and let's take a lookie."

The audience cheers as the next cartoon plays.

------------------

"In a humble little house that needed some paint
Lived a tired Twilight Sparkle trying to sleep, but she cain't."

Of course, we see Twilight trying to sleep in her bed but couldn't due to some problems in her library home. It makes her look up at the ceiling in frustration.

"You see the problems were plenty in this house she had.
The roof always creaked and the drafts; they were bad.
The furnace turned on with a clatter and clunk,
making pipes splutter, steam, rattle and plunk.
With a slap and a bang the shutters did slam.
This noise it continued and nauseam."

Twilight groans as she tries to sleep but couldn't thanks to the noises being made. This is getting frustrating for her.

"She rolled and she tossed under her pillows and sheets.
Poor Twilight wishing the sounds they would cease."

Twilight groans in anger, she has had enough. The unicorn groans, "I can't take this racket another night longer. I thought I could but I couldn't be wronger."

"She threw off her blankets and slunk to the sink."

"Perhaps I'll feel better after a drink." Twilight mumbles as she goes downstairs to get some water from the kitchen sink, using a cup to do so.

"But the water came out in a way unexpected.
It sprayed from the drain in her face misdirected."

As Twilight turn the faucet on, the unicorn yelps as water sprays in her face like mad. She frowns and turns the sink off. Now Twilight has really had enough of this!

"She wiped off her mug in an angry defeat."

"That's the last straw! My decision's complete. I'm fed up with the clanking, ker-slamming, and squeaking. The whistling and knocking and the roof always creaking," Twilight exclaims angrily. That tears it. She is moving out of the library, even if the princess has assigned her here. The mare cannot stand it any longer.

"Poor Twilight Sparkle was irked; a bit peeved you might say.
Her mind was made up that she must move away.
So she gathered her things and emptied each drawer.
The last thing she did was lock the door."

Twilight goes to the drawers and opens them as she begins putting her stuff and such into drawers. Spike and Nyx helps pack their own things, wishing that they shouldn't have to move.

Once the packing's done, Twilight walk out the door and locks it up. The two looks concerned with their own suitcases as it's time to find a new home.

"Then Spike, Nyx and she marched up to the next street
Where new houses stood all spiffy and neat.
She found a nice dwelling that drew her attention
With automatic devices of the latest invention."

Sure enough, as the trio looks at the houses, glancing at each one that's for sure, Twilight spots something that caught her interest: some sort of mechanical house. A sales pony came up with a smile to the unicorn, ready to talk sale and business.

"This house is electric."

"Said the sales pony with pride."

"If you push this red button you'll travel inside."

Twilight grins as the sales pony pull out a remote control with a red button. May as well give it a try; the purple unicorn push the button; suddenly the sidewalk that the group are on moves as they arrive at the house's entrance.

The sales pony pushes another button on the remote. Spike and Nyx takes a peek as the house begins to get a makeover of sorts for its new owners.

"With a flick of a switch and the pull of a lever the house it transformed."

"This is really quite clever." Nyx said as Twilight smiles impressed. Spike nods a bit.

A while later, the sales pony shows Twilight how to work the remote control, explaining how it works to the mare.

"The designs egronomic for comfort, you see."

"Grinned the sales pony as he pushed buttons one, two, and three."

Twilight and Nyx looks surprised as the couch that they were on folded over, sending them into the next room. Twilight exclaims impressed, "The furniture folds right into the wall!"

"It makes a great shortcut into the hall!" The sales pony explains to Twilight and Nyx as he and Spike peeks around the side to see the two sitting sideways in the hall.

--------------

We see Twilight glancing into the kitchen while she and the sales pony put some shades on. The mare said, "This kitchen is sparkling."

"It's synthetic steel. There's even a robot that can cook you a meal." The sales pony said, pushing a button to bring forth a robot that begins cooking up meals in the kitchen. As the two kept walking, Twilight felt like asking some more questions.

"But how will the floors here all stay so clean?"

"Should dust ever settle; there's a vacuum machine."

Sure enough, as the two sat upside down on the couch, the vacuum machine passed by. Twilight then ask the sales pony, "Are there shutters that bang, slap, rattle or slam?"

"Not at one, not a bit,, not at all my good woman!" The sales pony insists. Twilight stood up right, smiling eagerly. This place is perfect!

"I'll take this new house!"

"Said Twilight Sparkle with zeal; after escrow and closing, the contract was sealed."

"This new fangled house is now where I'll stay." Twilight said, shaking the sales pony by the hoof. Then the mare pushes a button, sending him away.

"She then thanked the sales pony and sent him away.
So Twilight Sparkle, settled back in her modern recliner with buttons galore."

"Ah what could be finer?" Twilight ask with a smile. As Nyx got on her lap, the mare pushes some more buttons while the two relax. This sounds like a perfect home from now on!

"Whatever she wanted was hers right away.
With a touch of a button, she got a snack tray.
Her chair it reclined, and rubbed her back.
So then came on some music and dimmed the lights low."

Twilight is relaxing as she and Nyx sighs a bit. The ponies yawned, they are a little tired.

"Said Twilight Sparkle with a yawn as she scratched on her head."

"Oh, it's time for a bath and then we'll toddle to bed." Twilight said to Nyx, both a bit a sleepy.

"She pressed the red button and rolled across the floor.
Her and Nyx's chair went upstairs through the new bathroom door.
With a splash and a splunk the brushes did clean."

"What a wonderful thing this bathing machine," Nyx said, smiling at the bathroom as she and Twilight rode the chair through the bathing machine.

"Special arms then conveyed them off to their new beds.
And tucked them in gently, then a story was read.
Twilight and Nyx were cozy, all snuggled up tight."

Twilight smiles as the arms pat her on the head. The mare begins to do some sleeping as Nyx sleeps in her new bed. But of course, Twilight woke up, a while later while looking excitedly.

"But Twilight tossed and she turned as her thoughts did excite
Of buttons and switches of moveable stairs;
Computer controls on reclining chairs."

"There's so many things in this house with to play. I want to stay up. I'll just sleep in the day." Twilight said eagerly. The pony got out of her bed and woke up Nyx, telling her the plan. The two heads to the door, ready to have some more fun.

"She and Nyx leapt from their covers and slid past the clock.
Twilight flung the door opened; but discovered it was blocked."

As Twilight uses her magic to open the door, she and Nyx are surprised as the robot is outside, blocking. It's obvious programmed to make sure that his new owners don't stay up all night and go to sleep until morning.

"There stood the robot. Its finger it wagged.
Before the two knew it, by the seat they were grabbed."

"This just isn't right. We don't need a rest!" Nyx protests as the robot tossed her and Twilight back into bed.

"I want to get up. Stop being a pest." Twilight demands to the robot in annoyance. She's the owner, the thing is supposed to listen to her!

The robot, having tucked Nyx in, prepares to do the same thing for Twilight but saw that she disappeared. He turns around just in time to see the mare and Nyx trying to sneak away.

"Twilight and Nyx scampered away heading straight for the door.
But the robot was fast and stopped them once more."

"Bedtime is fine but this is my house!" Twilight protests as she and Nyx fight with the robot as he put both back into the mare's bed. "You're making me angry, don't cheese me off, you louse!"

Twilight quickly uses her magic to get herself and Nyx away from the robot. The two rush to the window that goes outside. That robot has gone crazy!

"So they turned and they climbed out of the open window
And snuck away quietly on tippy tiptoe
But little did Twilight and Nyx think that out in the back
The robot was waiting for another attack!"

Twilight and Nyx snuck around the back to sneak back in to avoid the robot. But the attacked grabs them both, stuffing them in a magic-proof bag before beginning to lock them up tight.

"Enough is enough! I'll take this no more!" Twilight exclaims as she got herself and Nyx freed from their prison. "If you want to play rough get ready for war!"

Nyx head butts the robot then she and Twilight runs away from him.

----------------

Twilight and Nyx has a plan to take down the robot and do whatever they pleased. With Spike's help, the trio put a water bucket on top of the door in a room.

Twilight chuckles, "A chuckle of water, that's just the right thing! When the robot comes in, I'll use magic on this thing."

"Twilight Sparkle readied her plan with her own little trap.
The robot came in and then with a snap
The bucket tipped over and the water came out."

We see that the robot is following the signs that Spike and Nyx put up to lure him to them and Twilight. As the robot goes into the room, Twilight uses her magic to knock the bucket onto the thing. Of course, something goes wrong as the robot, along with the house, begins to act strange.

"It splashed, and soaked him completely throughout.
He sparked, and he fixxed that man made of steel.
He jolted and volted and began to unreel.
Electricity surged in the house all about
Zapping the circuits and shortening them out."

The trio looks around in horror. Perhaps they shouldn't have short-circuited the robot; suddenly the fridge pens up, sending food right at Twilight.

"Food from the fridge was flung in the air.
It splattered and spatted in the poor pony's mane hair.
She ducked and she ducked, but she could not escape.
The jelly that hit her was cherry, not grape."

Twilight prepares to run off but the chair came in and grabs her, pulling the mare right into the bathroom.

"Back into the bath she was dragged very quick
And repeatedly scrubbed with a soap on a stick."

Twilight yelps as the mechanical hands scrubbed her like mad before she finally uses her magic to escape.

"All sudsy and wet, Twilight Sparkle tried to flee
But the vacuum was now on a housekeeping spree.
The hoses they swung, the flailed and they sucked.
The brushed whooshed past, forcing Twilight to duck."

Twilight ran off with Nyx as the vacuum begins sucking up stuff like mad. The two grabs onto a lamp to avoid getting sucked in.

"Twilight and Nyx grabbed up a lamp and began to fight back
But right at that moment the recliner attacked."

Twilight and Nyx do their best to fight off the vacuum, only for the recliner to grab them both. This place has gone mad!

"When things looked their bleakest and all hope seems lost.
Twilight picked up a chair and gave it a toss.
It hit the controls and smashed them to bits."

The chair fell right onto the remote control, destroying it.

"The buttons they flashed and flickered in fits.
Twilight saw her chance to get safety away."

Twilight grabs Nyx as they rode on their suitcases right out the opening/closing door. Spike was ready as he grabs his own suitcase to make a getaway from this insane house.

"She snatched up her daughter and her dragon and then she did say..."

"This place is a monster, not what I'd call home." Twilight said to Nyx and Spike who nods in agreement.

"They watched that new house shake, splutter and groan.
It fell with a crash in less than a minute.
Nyx turned to her family and said."

"Glad we weren't in it." Nyx said to Twilight and Spike while the two watch the remains of the house. The trio sighs as they head on. Twilight's group has escaped that madness...but where would they stay now?

"Dejected and sad they all strode away.
Twilight Sparkle, Nyx and Spike with nowhere to stay.
The rays of the morning added sunlight
Greeting Twilight Sparkle with a warm, friendly sight."

The sun rose up as Twilight looks up and gasps for right in front of her, Nyx and Spike is the old library home, obviously no one sold it or Celestia didn't get a new librarian yet. It's like it was waiting for them to return.

"A little wood library house that needed some paint.
It wasn't quite perfect but still, it was great."

Twilight glances at the house and smiles while Spike and Nyx looks on with smiles. They are coming back to their real home.

"You know, we could stay here for just a little while."

"Said Twilight to Nyx and Spike with a wry little smile.
Later that night all warm in her bed,
Twilight Sparkle snuggled up as sleep came to her head.
The furnace it clanked; it rattled and shocked.
The shutters flew back. They slammed and knocked.
The wind it did whistle round the chimney it moaned.
But Twilight Sparkle didn't stir because she knew she was home."

-------------------

Once the cartoon is done, the audience cheers for another successful one. Twilight smiles a bit then saw Rainbow in her devil costume, the pony chuckles in amusement. Her friend is trying to scare another pony again...maybe...

Author's note
Looks like Twilight learned that she was home in the first place; good for her; In the next chapter, Pinkie dies (temporarily) and haunts a house and its new resident Rainbow Dash. Read, review and suggest!

Chapter 3: How to Haunt a House

Rainbow smirks as she saw the Witches of the Volcano of Gloom sitting a table, preparing to scare them. She sneak up on them and is about to do so...but Hydia turns to the Pegasus pony while snapping, "Watch it or I will sic the Smooze on you!"

"Aw horse apples!" Rainbow groans as she flew off into defeat. "I won't be scary at this rate unless I change costumes."

Twilight watch what's happening from stage, she chuckles while saying, "Rainbow may be trying to scare folks, but in this next cartoon, 'How to Haunt a House', she gets spooked herself!"

The audience applauds as the next cartoon begins.

------------

As our story begins, Pinkie was humming happily as she heads outside for the day, unaware of what's going to happen...until now as mentioned by our narrator.

"This following presentation will show how to haunt the living! Before we do this, one must be..."

As Pinkie bounces outside, she fails to see a couple of stallions pulling a carriage heading her way...until we go back inside and heard a tramping crashing noise.

"...no longer living."

Pinkie bounces back into Sugarcube Corner...by bouncing right through the door! It's true, the Earth pony is dead, now a ghost. But she didn't notice yet as the mare hums while going into the fridge, eating some cupcakes that she can't digest now.

Pinkie now bounce past a TV to show her skeleton (which is weird because ghosts aren't supposed to have any bones) and heart shaped underwear...wait, what? Okay, never mind. This is Pinkie Pie after all!

"All right, this fine specimen you see is of course commonly known in Equestria as...a ghost."

"Gah! A ghost," Pinkie gasps in shock as she flies behind the chair. The pony looks around in worry, "Where? Where's the ghost?"

"Pinkie Pie, that would be you."

"Wait...I'm...a ghost now?" Pinkie asks in shock. She looks at herself and gasps in shock and worry. "I'm dead?!"

"Yes, you were killed in that accident just a few seconds go."

Pinkie gasps in terror and worry, "No, no, no, no; you can't kill me off! You never kill off your favorite characters and cute cartoons in your stories! I am not ready to be dearly departed yet! I don't wanna be dead!"

"Relax, Pinkie Pie, this ghost thing is only temporarily until the cartoon's over. You will be back in life once it's done."

Pinkie tries to sit in a chair but fell right through it. The Earth pony got up, saying, "Well, being a ghost does sound super duper fun! So how shall we do it?"

"In a How to sketch which we shall call..."

We see gravestone, lightning flashes as the narrator announce these steps.

"HOW TO HAUNT A HOUSE!"

Another gravestone appears along with the first step of the 'How to...' sketch. Pinkie can't wait to get started.

"Step One...Choosing a house to haunt. To find the right place house to haunt involves location, location and, yes, location; and what way to do so than in the classified ads?"

At a local carriage station, Pinkie put her hoof through the glass of a newsstand and got a newspaper out (don't ask). The pony checks the classified ads for any ideas of what house to haunt.

"Okay..." Pinkie said as she checks through the ads. "Creaking hardwood floors, fog enshrouded breakfast nook...and a formal dying room." The pony smiles as, a while later, she finds herself looking at the same house that Pinkie was describing. "All right, perfect!"

Pinkie bounces happily as she goes over to the house of singing, "A haunting I will go, a haunting I will go, Hi ho the merry-o..." The pony goes into the house but stops and wipes her hooves on the mat. Just because she's dead temporarily, doesn't mean that she has to be dirty; Pinkie goes back inside. "A haunting I will go!"

"All right, good; Step two...Selecting a hauntee to scare."

For Pinkie to haunt someone, we will do this in a dating show style with three ponies in respective stools.

"Hauntee number one is a likable unicorn from Canterlot, a powerful mare with paranoid problems but likes to read. Please welcome Twilight Sparkle."

We see Twilight sitting on a stool. She admit, "I'm not a coward, but I'm also not stupid enough to NOT to be afraid."

"Hauntee number two is an Earth pony who likes to pull pranks but can also be scared too."

Pinkie's colt-friend Brian sits on a stool, saying a bit nervous, "I am a little scared too, honestly."

"And finally, the last hauntee is one hot-headed Pegasus pony who is one real crack-up!"

Rainbow rolls her eyes while snapping, "Yeah right. I am not scared of anything. I like to see anypony try to freak me out!"

Unknown to Rainbow, Pinkie, sitting on a stool but fail to do so, overheard her and smirks devilishly while saying, "Ooooh! I think I know who to pick on! And to think, I love to pull pranks on her even when I'm alive!"

"Hang on, what was your question again?"

"Relax, Miss Dash. Just go to the address that we give you, spend the night there and enjoy yourself. Now then..."

We see the next gravestone as the narrator explain the next step.

"Step Three...being very VERY creepy. Now then, nothing is way creepier than the creaky front door that opens itself as if by magic...but you get the idea."

"Sure do; okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie exclaims with glee. Time to scare Rainbow; The Earth pony hides behind the house door then crack her hooves somehow and spits into them. After rubbing the hooves, Pinkie goes over to the door as Rainbow's silhouette appears behind it outside, "All righty, here goes anything!"

Pinkie smiles as she turns the doorknob somehow and opens the door. Rainbow saw what happened but surprisingly isn't scared but looks amazed. She comments, "Man. Automatic doors. This house's coolness factor just went up twenty percent."

Rainbow flies into the house and heads upstairs to unpack her suitcase that she brought along. Pinkie looks puzzled. Why didn't her scare tactic work?

"Now then, having successfully freaked your intended hauntee out..."

"Uh, Mr. Narrator; Dashie wasn't scared by that." Pinkie points out to the narrator puzzled.

"Okay, okay, so maybe the first creepy thing doesn't always work for some new ghosts, bare with me! Now then..."

We see the next gravestone as the narrator explain the fourth step.

"Step Four...Looking Like a Ghost. Using an ordinary bed sheet carefully draped all over you, sneak about in a menacing matter."

Rainbow hums while unpacking her things to put into the dresser. Unknown to her, Pinkie opens the door, wearing a bed sheet on herself. Of course, the ghost has forgotten to put eyeholes in. So as Pinkie tries to sneak up behind Rainbow, she ran into a lamp and trips over the cord, getting tied up.

Pinkie yelps as she ran into a bookshelf, knocking it over and causing a bear statue to get stuck on her head. Ironically, during this whole silliness, Rainbow still didn't notice a thing.

"Right, now continue the macabre dance of the dead and watch as your victim got panic and terror all over herself."

As the narrator spoke, Rainbow finishes her packing and heads off to go to the bathroom. Pinkie climbs the cabinet...and fell out the window with the stuff with her. She fell onto a lawn chair with the bear statue landing on another one, the lamp lands between both and the two books lands on the bear statue and Pinkie as if they are reading them. As the Earth pony looks confused, the sheet fell onto her.

"Of course, this method of haunting can only work if one remembers to put the unique eyeholes into the sheet by cutting."

"Sorry, I was kinda in a hurry." Pinkie said to the narrator sheepishly.

"Pinkie Pie, even dead, you are random. Let's move on..."

We now see another tombstone.

"Step Five...the Dark. Every pony is scared of the dark so use this knowledge to your haunting advantage."

Rainbow hums as she was in the shower, taking a shower. Pinkie came in through the sink and eagerly turns the light switch off. That oughta scare her. Of course, Rainbow saw this and uses her hooves to clap the lights back on.

Pinkie frowns as she turns the nearby lamp off...only for Rainbow to use a flashlight and kept on cleaning herself. The new ghost frowns as she uses her hoof to turn the flashlight right off.

Regardless, Rainbow then put on a helmet with a light on top, turning it on and grooms herself. Pinkie growls as she turns the helmet off...only for her mare friend to light a candle nearby, still cleaning herself; Pinkie blows the candle out. Rainbow pulls out a match and held it somehow.

Pinkie put the match out but Rainbow bend a glow in the dark stick to make it bright. Once the Pegasus pony has cleaned herself off, she put it down and heads off.

Pinkie sighs as she takes the glow in the dark stick and throws it into the toilet. As she flushes the thing, the ghost comments, "Oh, this is getting silly now!"

"Right, right. Moving on!"

We now go to yet another gravestone that shows us the next step.

"Step six...Things That Go Bump

With her bath done, Rainbow got into bed and relax, opening a book as she got out, commentating, "Finally, some peace and quiet." The pony went quiet while she is reading.

"Now then, a ghost has a wide array of scary sounds to scare their unwitting victim with."

Pinkie smiled eagerly upon hearing this. Now she has to scare Rainbow! The pony flies over to her victim's bed and makes a lot of scary sounds, holding her head with one hoof, "Booooo!"

To her confusion, Rainbow didn't react to the voice. Pinkie didn't give up as she ran off and came back, dressing like Photo Finish's role as Jacob Marley in 'My Little Pony's Christmas Carol'. She marches on the Pegasus pony's bed while moaning.

Pinkie frowns, that didn't work yet so she tries with another idea. The pony begins to act like a zombie underwater, passing by Rainbow. Still no response; Pinkie tries making the sounds again by having her top half float in the air with the bottom disconnected and following behind.

Of course, Pinkie frowns as Rainbow is still not hearing her for some reason. The Earth pony tries her best, like hitting cymbals together, using accordions on her feet, blowing leaves with a leaf blower, walking a crying foal and driving a foal. But no matter what happens, nothing seems to faze the Pegasus pony.

Finally, Pinkie bounces over, sighing and wondering why her friend isn't reacting to any of the things happening in front of her, "Wow, Dashie is a good reader. But I don't get how..." The Earth pony saw what book that she's reading, "Huh; 'How to Sleep with your Eyes Wide Open?"

Rainbow blinks a bit and saw, to her surprise, that Rainbow is indeed sleeping with her eyes wide open with snoring sounds coming out of her.

"Well, what do you know? Didn't see that one coming; All right then, time for step seven..."

"Ugh! No! Sorry, Mr. Narrator but no more steps," Pinkie exclaims to the narrator in frustration. "It's becoming clear that Dashie can't be scared by anything! Being a ghost is boring now! Can I go back to life now?"

"Right, I guess I owe you that, nothing is working. Well, just wake up Rainbow Dash and we will get you back to normal."

Pinkie nods as she shakes Rainbow, calling, "Dashie, wake up, you silly filly! Wake up!"

Rainbow yawns as she woke up...then saw Pinkie, making her ask, "Huh?" Her eyes widened as she finally saw the ghost. "Yikes! A ghost! I'm no coward, but all the strength and fighting skill in Equestria doesn't do much good against an opponent you literally can't touch." The Pegasus pony quickly flew out of the room and head downstairs with a surprised Pinkie chasing her.

"Aww, you silly filly; I'm not going to hurt you. I was just trying to playfully scare you. You'll be completely all right."

"Don't give me that! I've heard WAY too many stories!"

Pinkie got to downstairs first as Rainbow goes through her. The new ghost frowns while saying, "When I get my hooves on those meanie-pants who write all those Pony Grimdark fics - they're in for one doozy of a lawsuit. I mean, look at the damage those fics do to our images and the images of our friends."

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm getting the hay out of here while the getting is good." Rainbow rush out and flies off without looking where she is going and ends up in a nasty storm that's happening right now, the sounds of lightning hitting and screaming in fatality is heard.

Rainbow came back into the house...now a ghost. The Pegasus pony frowns angrily at Pinkie, now Rainbow's dead!

"Oops, sorry Dashie, I guess I also should've told you that I am doing another How To sketch and I have to be a ghost to do it." Pinkie said sheepishly. "And well...I guess you're a ghost too."

"What?! Why you..." Rainbow growls as she prepares to hit Pinkie for getting her killed in the first place.

"Wait wait wait! This is only temporarily like the narrator said! We just need to end this cartoon and we can be back to life! Right, Mr. Narrator?"

"That's right. This is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate..."

We see the final gravestone in this story.

"How to End a Cartoon!"

We see Pinkie screaming as Rainbow was chasing after her furiously; both of them are going to the edge of a cliff.

"We begin the end by chasing one another into the distance...then falling off a cliff and scream in a comical kinda way."

Pinkie screams in a comical kinda way as she and Rainbow fell off the cliff even though they should've avoided it by flying…but I digress.

"And we end...with an iris out."

The cartoon then came to an end.

--------------

Once the cartoon is done, the audience applauds, liking it as well as Pinkie, Fluttershy and the animals who clapped happily.

Author's Notes:

That cartoon's done, whatcha think? In the next chapter, in a fanmake of the Lonesome Ghosts shorts, Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow deal with the three not-so-friendly ghosts Porko, Stringbean and Putrid along with their nephew's cousin Kooky (the first three was suggested to me by a pal of mine, the last one I made up that is based on Spooky). Read, review and suggest.

The Witches of the Volcano of Gloom came from My Little Pony: The Movie and the first series, along with the Smooze that was mentioned.

The story has references to the grimdark fics of My Little Pony.

Chapter 4: Lonesome Ghosties

At one table, Roclan frowns impatiently while scowling, "I'm getting really impatient for Smaug."

"Be patient!" Tadaka exclaims to Roclan in annoyance. The villains will begin their takeover once midnight comes. They have to be patient until then!

"Oh, come on boys!" Lorcan Hyde laughs as he slaps them on the shoulder, much to their annoyance. "Enjoy the show!" The villain sees Spike pass by, "Hey, Daddy! How about a few drinks for the Dragon Patrol?

Roclan groans in annoyance as he snaps, "Ughhh, change your voice."

"Why?"

"It's a disgrace to an evil voice with your childish nonsense." Tadaka points out to Lorcan in agreement.

"Alrighty, how bout this," Lorcan Hyde coughs before speaking in a James Nesbit voice. "Whadda think?"

"Creepy..." Roclan said, liking the new voice now.

"Yes..." Tadaka said with an evil smirk.

Of course, Crarity pass by, saying dryly, "Lorcan, change your voice back. That James Nesbit is pathetic and stupid!"

"Yes, Crarity," Lorcan Hyde exclaims, going back to his Tom Kane voice, much to the annoyance of Tadaka and Roclan. "Sorry, guys. Crarity overrules your demands!"

Thunder is seen as Twilight, putting on a menacing glare with a cape, said, "Even us ponies in Equestria knows that there's only one thing to be scared of on Nightmare Night! And that's ghost!" We now see the ghosts Porko, Stringbean and Putrid at a table with Kooky (their nephew's cousin) squeezing in. "Especially since they're the Lonesome Ghosties Porko, Stringbean, Putrid and Kooky!"

The audience applauds as the next cartoon plays.

--------------------

(Based off Disney's Lonesome Ghosts)

It was a windy and cold night as our story begins at an old creepy mansion that was abandoned for years. No one would bother living in it. Why? It was a haunted house where four ghosts live.

Inside the place, a bell is heard as a fat ghost named Porky appears, groaning while sitting in an old chair, "Honestly guys. This place is dead...dead boring! We don't have any fun around here anymore!"

A skinny ghost is playing cards at another table, sighing while saying, "Tell me about it. There isn't any pony, dragons or whatever to scare nowadays. Even our own nephew doesn't want to scare and he isn't even here right now!"

A ghost with bad breath named Putrid appears to be fishing as he comments, "Yeah, we scared them all away! We are too good!" The stinky ghost laughs. Of course, the ghosts are still bored. They need some new blood or ponies or the four ghosts may have to look for another place to haunt.

A fourth ghost wearing a bowler hat was reading the newspaper, then smiles eagerly as he calls over, "Guys! Come over and take a look at this!" The other three ghosts flew over and saw a notice in the paper. "'Notice, we take on any kind of ghosts, day and night service.'"

The four ghosts laugh madly as if being told a funny joke. Stringbean remark mischievously, "Well, well, looks like we got a couple of wise ponies! Say, how about we bring them over here?"

"Right, we will have fun with the runts!" Porko laughs in agreement. Maybe the ghosts can have fun with these so-called exterminators. At least then the four has somepony to scare!

"We'll scare the pants off of them!" Putrid remarks madly. The four ghosts laughs as they rush over to a nearby phone which is amazingly still working. Putrid grabs the handle while Porko begins dialing. "My voice sounds like a sweet mare sometimes so this can work!"

-------------------------------

Now at a building in Ponyville, there of course is the 'Ponyville Ghost Exterminators' business that the ghosts heard about. Inside, the three ponies of Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie are sleeping.

At first, not one of the mares notice that the phone's ringing. Until the third ring was so loud that it woke them all up. As they recover, the trio spots the phone ringing.

"It's the telephone!" Twilight exclaims in surprise.

"The telephone," Rainbow exclaims eagerly. Some customer must be calling the ghost exterminators. The three ponies after all took the ghost business to help deal with the ghostie pests and earn extra bits in the progress.

"The telephone," Pinkie asks a bit confused. The phone rang like mad. This causes the trio to tumble and jump for the phone, trying to answer it. Rainbow of course yelps as she ends up getting entangled with her friends holding the phone with the line as she get caught in it.

"Hello!" Twilight calls into the phone eagerly.

"Hello!" Pinkie exclaims as she answers the phone as well.

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

-----------------------

The Lonesome Ghosts smirks mischievously as they heard Twilight and Pinkie's voices on the other end, saying, "Hello" repeatedly. This is going to be so much fun!

Putrid then speaks in an old woman's voice, "Hello, ponies, do you catch ghosts; hopefully?"

--------------------------------

"Ha, do we catch ghosts, really?" Pinkie giggles happily, thinking that the whole thing was a joke to her. Of course, Twilight roll her eyes as she uses her magic to get the handle from Pinkie, undoing the knot on Rainbow, freeing her.

"Sure, madam," Twilight speaks into the phone. "We sure do!"

-------------------------

"Well, this place is full of them! Listen!" Putrid explains as his pals do their best not to laugh to avoid giving themselves away. With that, the Lonesome Ghosties make their cackling sound and spooky howls. Hopefully that is enough to convince the trio of ponies. Putrid, mock scare, insists, "Come to the old abandoned mansion at once!"

-------------------------

"Yeah, we'll get right on it!" Twilight exclaims with a smile on her face. This is perfect, a customer for the mares to help deal with the ghosts! After hanging up, the unicorn exclaims to her pals, "Guess what! We got a customer!"

"A customer! Oh yeah," Rainbow exclaims with a smile on her face.

"A customer," Pinkie asks a bit puzzled and confused. Her friends chuckle a bit. The Earth pony can be so random!

------------------------

The ghosts wait anxiously at the mansion, waiting for their new victims to arrive. This is going to worth all this trouble. Just then, Putrid saw something and points out the window, "Guys, look, they're here!"

The other ghosts laugh while flying over to the window to see their victims. Kooky remarks eagerly, "Oh, these gals are going to be a stitch to scare; Heh heh heh."

The ghosts while chuckle while looking out the window. There's Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie heading to the mansion in mufflers and scarves as it is snowing and cold outside. One of them, Pinkie Pie, bounces in the snow while Rainbow just flies above it.

The mares are carrying some interesting ghost busting equipment for this scary mission that they are taking. Pinkie comment "Hey, cool ghost busting gear, Twi. This will be very good practice for when the author gets around to his 'My Little Ghostbusters' series." Her friends have no idea what she's talking about and are too cold and busy to even ask right now.

The ghosts laugh inside the mansion while Porko comment, "Hey, look at those fancy backpacks with the attached proton guns and ghost traps. This is going to be more exciting than I thought, and will make scaring these wise-mares even more fun."

The ghosts smile as they quickly vanish from sight. Time for some fun!

Outside the mansion, Twilight's group arrives as the purple unicorn knocks on the door. At first, no reply came. She knocks on the door again, causing it to crash right onto the floor of the mansion.

"Hey! We're here to...help you?" Twilight ask puzzled. Weird, no one is here to greet the three mares. "Hey, where is everyone?"

The ponies look around in concern, wondering if the old mare that called them before is around. Pinkie bumps into Rainbow, causing her to yelp, "Hey; Careful, Pinkie Pie!"

"Shhh!"

Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie enters the mansion in precaution. There's no telling what they can find in this place. While going on, not one of the ponies spot the door rising up as if some force is guiding the thing...until they look down and yelps as the thing flew up, sending them tumbling down. As the door goes back into place, the trio of ponies, out of their mufflers and scarves, lands on the floor, their equipment lands all around them.

The equipment barely misses the mares though a mousetrap hits Pinkie's snout, making her yelp in pain. She removes while groaning, "I hope these are ghost mice that we're catching here."

Suddenly, the three heroes heard the ghosts laughing madly in the place. Twilight exclaims, "It's the ghosts!"

"The ghosts," Rainbow exclaims in worry and a bit of fear.

"G-g-g-ghosts," Pinkie ask in fear and worry.

"Girls, relax. We cannot let a bunch of ghosts scare us. We're ghost hunters after all and it is our duty to Ponyville to deal with these pests." Twilight said to her friends, reminding them of their mission. As the three stood back up, the unicorn continues, "Listen. Let's separate so we can cover more ground and use our equipment better when we surround them."

"Yeah," Rainbow said with a nod. "Come on!"

The three mares put their hooves in a huddle then raise them up. They pick up their weapons and heads off in separate direction. Twilight tiptoe her way through the place in precaution.

However Porko chose that time to appear behind her, smirking mischievously as she taps Twilight on the head. The mare, startled, turns around and gasps upon seeing the ghost. She fires a blast at Porko but he dodges, laughing madly as he push Twilight down, making her ghost busting weapon shoot out in another direction.

Porko laughs as he flies off with Twilight chasing him while yelling, "Come back here!"

Twilight chases Porko up a bunch of stairs to the next floor, chasing him to an opened doorway of a closet. The ghost smirks however as he closes the door, causing the mare to crash into it. Twilight fumes as she tries to use her magic to open the door but to no success.

"Ugh, you ghosts are crazy!" Twilight exclaims in annoyance. Suddenly the door slams down onto her before the hinge open up, the purple unicorn got up and jumps forward while the door itself closes. Twilight looks confused as he saw no closet, "What the hay?!"

Twilight heard some noises coming from the doorway that opens up, sending her falling to the floor. As the pony got up, she gasps in shock as the ghost came out of the doorway with Stringbean, Putrid and Kooky, all of them are 'marching' to a war march with the usual flag and all. Twilight is dumbstruck.

The ghosts then dance as if taunting Twilight while going through another door. The mare chases them while snapping, "Oh, not so fast!"

Twilight however was too late as Kooky closes the door on her. She opens it...but yelps a whole flood of water came out of the said door. The mare does her best to swim, looking confused as Stringbean, Porko and Kooky surf past her with smiles on surfboards.

Then Putrid came out of the doorway in a small motor boat, whirling around Twilight with the water, twirling the mare until the water vanish, leaving the pony right on the floor.

"Ugh...so much water..." Twilight groans as she looks around, hearing the ghosts' laughter. "I hope Rainbow and Pinkie are doing better."

----------------------

Rainbow was in a hallway, looking for a ghost while peeking around. However Putrid appears behind her and hold some plates then drops them right onto the floor, causing them to break as he laughs mischievously.

The impact frightened Rainbow as she flew right under a chair nearby that is covered in cloth. The mare peeks out, not noticing Kooky appearing behind her with chains. That is until the ghost laughs cruelly and drops them causing Rainbow to scream as she jumps right into an opened drawer, the bottom closes right behind her.

The top drawer flung into the air as we see that Rainbow is in it, landing on the floor while the thing covers her. The Pegasus pony peeks out and get up, frowning. This is ridiculous! Rainbow shouldn't even be scared of those ghosts!

Rainbow prepares to get her head, not noticing Putrid behind her. That is until he hits the pony on the flank with a board, sending Rainbow right into the air with the net. As she lands, her ghost attacker vanish, the mare doesn't even care that her own net landed on her.

"Hey, what's going on; who did that?! Who's the wise mare?!" Rainbow demands angrily, taking the net off of her own head. Then she notices Putrid reappearing behind her with a board, "Uh oh."

Putrid hits Rainbow in the flank again, causing her to yelp in pain as she flings the net up. As the ghost vanishes, the Pegasus pony turns around, shouting angrily, "Hey, come out and fight like a pony! You can't scare me! Come out of there and fight, let's go!"

Rainbow jumps up and down, ready to fight, no one makes a foal out of her and gets away with it. Of course, Putrid reappears, smirking mischievously as imitates the Pegasi preparing to fight, much to Rainbow's annoyance.

"Oh, mocking me, eh?" Rainbow asks angrily. She then hits Putrid with a hoof, sending him stumbling backwards. "Oh yeah, I got him! Yeah, the others have got to hear about this!"

Of course, Putrid doesn't seem shocked or upset. In fact, this ghostie appears to be smiling as he crashed into the floor...literally as Putrid makes it looks like he was 'breaking' the ice, sending out water.

Rainbow looks shocked and flew over as the cracked floor with water returns to normal. The mare stops, looking confused as she rubs one hoof across where the ice used to be at.

"Huh, I will be a donkey's uncle." Rainbow said in amazement and confusion.

Suddenly, a puddle of water appears as Putrid came out, spitting water and his breath right onto Rainbow causing her to get wet and a bit disgusted at the same time. The ghost laughs madly as he dives back into the water. The Pegasus pony tries to jump in after him but the puddle vanished making Rainbow hit her head on the floor instead.

"Ugh! What kind of a mad house is this?! Those lame-os can't make a foal out of this pony!" Rainbow groans a bit. Suddenly a puddle of water appears in mid-air and drops water right onto the Pegasus pony, getting her drenched. "Ugh, that's a fine 'what the hay'."

-----------------

Pinkie bounces around happily with her ghost busting weapon, looking for any signs of the Lonesome Ghosties. Of course, she didn't that Stringbean is behind her with a pan and wooden spoon.

"I'm brave but I got to be careful too." Pinkie said happily yet shivering a bit.

Suddenly Stringbean hits the pan really hard, causing Pinkie to scream and run forward to a wall, tearing it up like mad while trying to escape. The ghost in question grins while playing the trombone, rod part hits the Earth pony in the flank, causing her to yelp and run down the hall.

Pinkie rush over to a corner and pants a bit, looking around, "Oh, come on, Pinkie Pie. What would your Granny Pie say if she saw you being scare of the ghosties? I'm supposed to laugh at them; Ha ha ha."

Of course, Pinkie fails to see Kooky appearing behind her, tap dancing and kicking the pony in the flank, making her stumble onto the floor. She got up and chases after him. Kooky laughs while jumping into the lower drawer with a mirror.

Pinkie opens the lower drawer and search through it while looking for Kooky who opens up a top drawer and rang a cowbell loudly. This frightens the pony that she jumps up and turns around, preparing to fight.

Pinkie looks around then glances into a mirror. At first, it appears that she's looking at her own reflection...but unknown to her, its Kooky playing another trick on her, reflecting the pony's reflection with himself.

"Hee hee; Thought it wasn't me for a moment." Pinkie giggles at her own reflection while smiling a bit. She hums while fixing her own mane while looking at the mirror then prepares to leave...but Pinkie turns around, having suspicions. She and Kooky look down, then at each other's eyes. Pinkie became concerned. "Hold on just a hay-picking minute...something is not right here. Even I am not that random!"

Pinkie frowns as she moves on hoof, causing Kooky to do the same thing. Both scratch their heads then made funny faces at each other. After a while Pinkie and the ghost stuck their tongues out. For a moment, nothing seems to be out of the original...until Kooky stick his tongue out a second time, much to Pinkie's surprise since she wasn't even moving when that happened!

Pinkie touches the mirror with the ghost mimicking...then she moves it up to look on the other side. Kooky pops out of the mirror and rang the cowbell once more. This causes the Earth pony to get frightened that she hit her head on the side of the mirror, flinching while getting up.

Pinkie looks at the mirror and right at Kooky suspiciously, mumbling, "Hmmm, I wonder..." The Earth pony got an idea on how she will know for sure.

Pinkie moves sideways, making Kooky do the same thing while the ghost came in and out of the mirror. The pony yelps and notice briefly before the two finch, ducking down. Pinkie thoughtfully went up and down, making the ghost do the same thing. They do this a bit rapidly until the Earth pony stop.

Pinkie gasps as she saw Kooky moving quickly, making her exclaim, "GOTCHA!" The two ducks down and came back up. The pony smirks while saying, "You can't fool me! You're a ghost!"

"You got that right, babe!" Kooky laughs as she pokes Pinkie right in the eyes, making her yelp before the ghost made a face right at her then ducks down as if taunting the pink pony.

Pinkie growls and jumps right at the ghost...only to end up breaking the mirror, getting caught. Kooky came out of the bottom drawer and mischievously pulls on the pony's lower legs and letting them go, causing Pinkie to go twirling.

"WHOA!" Pinkie exclaims, crashing into the drawer, trying to fight out of it like mad. The pony bites what she thinks is the ghost but ends up biting her own flank, making Pinkie stumbles around. At one point, she ends up choking herself before letting go.

Pinkie pops out of one drawer, panting a bit. Where is that ghost now? The pony saw the flank of what appears to be what she's chasing. Of course, unknown to her, it's really her own flank.

"Hmm..." Pinkie ponders with a smirk. She has an idea...a bad one that is. The pony pulls out a pin from who knows where and uses in hope to stab the ghost in the rear...

Except Pinkie ends up pinching her own flank instead! The pony screams in pain as she tumbles around in the drawer. The Lonesome Ghosties arrive, smirking madly as they can hear her exclaim, "HELP, SOMEPONY, HELP! THEY GOT ME; DASHIE, TWILIGHT, ANYONE!"

The four ghosts then shove the drawer with Pinkie still inside to a flight of stairs nearby, the Earth pony exclaims, "I got them all, really!" Soon she yelps while tumbling down the stairs like mad. "Whoa!"

Pinkie screams as her rough ride causes her to go downstairs like mad. On the floor below, Rainbow and Twilight found each other while looking for her friend when they heard some noises coming from the stairs nearby.

Both of them gasps as they heard something making them look up to see the drawer heading their way. Rainbow screams, "Get out of the way!"

"Move, move," Twilight screams as she and Rainbow rush off with Pinkie still in the drawer chasing right after them. The first two jump near a pile of barrels before their friend crash right into them.

The four ghosts laughs madly as they rush downstairs, getting ready to scare the exterminator some more. But as they arrive on the lower floor, they gasp in fear and alarm as Putrid screams, "Oh no!"

"Gah," The ghost screams and for a good reason: the three mares got the jump on them with their proto guns, zapping them all and trapping the four ghosties. "No! GAH! NO!!!"

Twilight uses her magic to activate a ghost trap box, sucking all four ghosts in. Once they are trapped, Pinkie comment, "And we did not even have to cross the streams to do it; which is good because crossing the streams would be bad."

The three mares heard more screaming and running upstairs. Apparently, the Lonesome Ghosties are trapped but their voices are making a run for it. They head upstairs to the next floor, knocking down a lot of stuff like broken furniture, vases and flours.

The voices crash right through the window, leaving tracks behind in the snow while running off. Twilight's group heads to the broken window, watching the ghosts' voices running off.

"Huh, that was weird, even for Pinkie Pie." Pinkie said in amusement.

Twilight comment, "Just between us, I think those ghosts called us themselves to lure us here so they could mess with us."

Rainbow comment, "Well, it looks like THEY were the ones who couldn't take it." her friend smirk as the Pegasus pony laughs madly.

-----------------------------------------

The audience applauds once more, even the Lonesome Ghosties were having a good time for the cartoon that they were in. As this goes on, Twilight came back with Pinkie to introduce the next cartoon for some reason.

Author's Notes:

That was fun, wasn't it? In the next chapter, 'Dance of the Pinkie Pies', Pinkie plays a Flutterpony who must save Rosedust from the evil Somnambula. Read, review and suggest.

The reason for the opening is that Billy Arratoon don't think Tom Kane's voice would fit LH's child like personality; But not to me.

Porko, Stringbean and Putrid are spoofs of the Lonesome Ghosts as well as Casper the Friendly Ghost's uncles the Ghostly Trio (plus the nephew comment earlier). Kooky is based off the Casper character Spooky.

This chapter has references to my future 'My Little Ghostbusters' series, thus explains the twists at the end of the cartoon.

Chapter 5: Dance of the Pinkie Pies

As things are getting ready for the next cartoon, Lorcan Hyde get into an argument with Spikezilla over which one is the better evil counterpart to Spike. Discord comment, "Come on you two, break it up. Save it for when the author gets to the appropriate 'Ponies on Celebrity Deathmatch' story, even if it WILL be QUITE a long time away."

"So Pinkie, are you having a spooky time?" Twilight ask Pinkie on stage with a smile on her face.

"Yeah...but not scary as the time I dressed up like a Flutterpony." Pinkie said with a shiver.

"You got it. Now folks, here's the next cartoon, 'Dance of the Pinkie Pies'!"

Backstage, Ben calls into his mike with a whisper, "Hit it, AJ!"

In the control booth, Applejack smirks as she hits the projector with her back legs, causing it to start and groan, "Ugh! I really hate that saying!"

The audience applauds as the next cartoon starts.

-------------------

In a magical field in Equestria, there is an army of Flutterponies whose are working on their task: making everything pretty for the night. Of course, they are sometimes clumsy as they ran into mushrooms, got caught in spider-webs, eaten by frogs and almost eaten by fish.

Of course, the pixies' leader, Queen Rosedust, smiles, not worried. This was a natural process of the circle of life after all. She points in a direction as her Flutterponies subjects follow the stick that their queen's holding...but accidentally ran over their queen.

Rosedust frowns sternly and points, the Flutterponies quickly went to work while lining up. She counts all of them and smiles while pointing a hoof at the field then to a flower, using her wand to close it. It's going to be night soon so the Flutterponies must close up all the flowers so that they can bloom over morning.

The Flutterponies got to work, doing their jobs. Granted, they were a little clumsy at it, but they managed to get the flowers closed up while standing next to it, saluting Rosedust who smiles as she flies past the closed flowers; So far, so good.

However, Rosedust saw that one flower is still opened. She frowns in annoyance. The queen knows who that flower supposed to belong to...and that pony is late again!

-----------------

Inside a little tree in a backyard of a castle, a tired, oversleeping Flutterpony named Pinkie Pie was waking up some her sleep, yawning. She scratches her mane and checks the clock. Her eyes widened in shock: its two minutes past nine! Pinkie freak out: she overslept again! Queen Rosedust is going to be furious if she hadn't already!

Pinkie got out of bed, brushing her teeth and put her hat on. Once she gets her wand, the Flutterpony flew outside to get to work. Unknown to her, from inside the castle, a woman is looking out and saw Pinkie flying pas.t

The woman smirks evilly as she got a cage. Soon the power of Flutterponies will be hers!

Rosedust, in the fields, look impatiently as she looks at her watch. The Flutterpony then saw Pinkie flying in, saluting her queen. Rosedust impatiently points to the flower as if to say, "You're late again, Pinkie Pie! Get to work!"

Pinkie waste no time as she flies over to the small flower...and tries to close it physically but it's not working. Rosedust sighs and shook her head. The Flutterpony points to the pony's wand as if to say, 'Incorrect, Pinkie. Use your wand, that's why we have them."

Pinkie got the idea as she spin the star on her wand...though Rosedust just stares at her, unimpressed. The pony nods as she flew up to the flower, get ready and wave the wand, but ends up missing as she fell down, getting stuck in an anthill.

Rosedust sighs in annoyance, this Flutterpony is hopeless! Unknown to her though, the evil witch known as Somnambula arrives with her cage, peeking out and smirking evilly upon seeing the Flutterpony queen; Ever since her failed plan to steal youth and powers from the ponies, the evil villainess has been plotting for another way to gain power and youth.

Rosedust turns and gasps as Somnambula traps her in a jar. The villainess laughs as she took off with the queen who calls for help. Pinkie escapes from the ant hill in time to see what's happening.

Pinkie looks concerned, not getting it at first...but came to the realization: Rosedust is in trouble and she has to save her. After all, the queen is her friend!

--------------------

Inside the castle, on a shelf of magical things, there is a collection of mythical creatures and the whatnot with Rosedust amongst them. The Flutterpony looks horrified, fearing what Somnambula was going to do to her. Most of the creatures here were dead already!

Rosedust looks around then saw something on top of a nearby window: it's Pinkie waving at her. The Earth pony/Flutterpony flew down from the window, tip-toeing and dancing while...going past the cage that her queen is in. Pinkie turns and saw Rosedust was communicating to her that she needs to get out quickly.

Pinkie jumps onto the cage, trying to move it around in hopes to break the thing. Somnambula, who was working on a spell nearby, hear the commotion and turns. Of course, the evil witch saw only Rosedust who sat down, whistling and not doing anything. Somnambula frowns suspiciously but goes back to work anyway.

Pinkie decides to carry the cage and break it outside but ended up slipping on a pencil, causing both to roll around until they fell, breaking the cage and freeing the queen. Rosedust is safe!

Unfortunately, the commotion caught Somnambula's attention as she saw that the Flutterpony queen is trying to escape. Rosedust and Pinkie looks up to see that the evil witch is using a sword to attack them.

Pinkie grabs the queen and run to avoid the sword. While the Flutterpony avoid it well, the queen didn't but is lucky to still be alive! Pinkie rolls on a baseball with Rosedust in her upper forelegs, rolling around while Somnambula tries to slash at them both.

Rosedust ends up falling in a box before Pinkie flew in to pull her out. The evil witch follows the two as they hid in a skull...but got out in time as Somnambula ends up smashing the thing. The evil witch miss hitting them as they pass a cauldron.

Rosedust hid inside a grandfather clock but the gears bounce her up and down. Somnambula tries to hit her but miss each time. Pinkie grabs the queen as they crawl in the sheets of the witch's bed with the villainess trying to catch them.

Pinkie and Rosedust jumps into a box of stuff and hid in some gloves in hope to escape...but the two turns around, tripping and falling over. Somnambula now grabs an umbrella that she has for some reason and tries to hit them, but her targets escape, running through some ingredients, coming out in each one.

Somnambula angrily swat at the Flutterponies and ends up smashing her ingredients. Rosedust flew out, trying to escape but each time the witch's umbrella came close to hitting her. Somnambula finally grabs her; it looks like Rosedust is done for.

That is until Somnambula's attention is diverted when she heard Pinkie blowing a horn then charged at her. The witch fights off the Flutterpony with her umbrella with Pinkie using her wand. Eventually, Somnambula slips on some bones on the floor, causing her umbrella to open up and landing on her head.

Pinkie, getting an idea, raises her wand and uses it to close the umbrella on the evil witch's head, getting her stuck in it. Rosedust in a daze was grabbed by her subject as they flew out the window. The Flutterpony queen ran into the window but Pinkie grabs her before she could fall, making the big escape.

----------------

Rosedust is safe and sound but has to be in a wheelchair, wearing a cast on one leg due to the fight against Somnambula. Still, she smiles and looks up to Pinkie, who salutes her and ready to cast the spell.

Pinkie smiles as she spits into her hooves, raise her wand and spins around. Then she taps the flower, closing it. The Flutterpony turns to Rosedust who smiles in approval as she held up a clipboard, checking off the list. The queen gave a thumbs up while smiling, her subject did well.

Pinkie grins happily as she push Rosedust's wheelchair. Time for every Flutterpony to go on home; As they leave, Pinkie herself came back, using her wand to turn everything black, ending the cartoon.

-----------------

Everyone cheers for the cartoon, as well as Queen Rosedust and the other Flutterponies. They enjoy that one.

With the main villains, they are waiting patiently. Rainbow Chaos asks her boss, "Hey Smaug? Is it almost time for your Nightmare Night Trick? I'm sure that the only bad guys got the idea by now and it's almost midnight."

"Patience, Rainbow Chaos, midnight draws near." Smaug said to Rainbow Chaos evilly as he looks at his watch. "Once the next cartoon starts, we will leave in the middle of it and begin our takeover."

The villains nod as they watch Twilight waving on the stage. Soon, very soon...

Author's Notes:

Another cool cartoon, eh folks? In the next chapter, which is a fanmake of 'Donald Duck and the Gorilla', Rainbow plays Donald once again with the Cutie Mark Crusaders playing the nephews, all of them are trapped in a house with the Duah, a pterosaur-like creature. Read, review and suggest.

Queen Rosedust and the Flutterponies first appeared in My Little Pony: The Movie and made appearances in the first series.

Somnambula also appears in the first series, trying to steal youth and power from the ponies.

Chapter 6: Rainbow Dash and the Duah

Author's note
To joker, depending on what you're using him for. And if I even know you better to give you permission.

"All right, time for you grim grins for this next Nightmare Night treat called 'Rainbow Dash and the Duah'!" Twilight exclaims to the crowd. Everyone applauds as the next cartoon plays.

--------------------

It was a dark and stormy night in Ponyville. Rainbow is asked to house sit some pony's mansion while he is on vacation. Not that she wants to but at least the mare will get pays in bits for doing so. She is also looking after the Cutie Mark Crusaders while their families were busy.

Inside, Rainbow and the CMC were listening to a radio as well as some music. Suddenly, their program is interrupted by a news bulletin, "We interrupt your program to bring you this news bulletin! Newsflash! Duah, a pterosaur like creature has escaped from the Canterlot Zoo! Be on the lookout and stay away at all cost. This monster is a killer; that is all."

The Cutie Mark Crusaders yelps a bit as they hugs onto to each other. The fillies are scared that the Duah could come to Ponyville at any given moment. Rainbow on the other hand chuckled and remarks, "Oh give me a break! That Duah is probably hundred miles away! He wouldn't come to Ponyville! Look at yourselves; scaredy cats like Fluttershy!"

Rainbow shook herself as if pretending to be scared, making fun of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. The mare then spots something, a pair of green gloves on the table left by the owner...and they look like Duah claws!

Rainbow smirks eagerly. She got a funny idea for a prank. The mare reaches for the lamp...and shut the light right off. Scootaloo gasps, "Rainbow Dash!" When the light is turned on, the Pegasus pony is gone. "Wait; where's Rainbow Dash?!"

The Cutie Mark Crusaders hug each other, looking scared. The Duah must've gotten her. Not one of them spots a pair of green claws coming up from behind them...and try to grab the fillies. They scream in terror and ran out of the room in time.

Of course, as it turns out, those 'green claws' were the same gloves worn by Rainbow who watch the girls run out. She laughs like mad. The mare enjoys that.

Of course, Rainbow is the only one as Apple Bloom peeks in from the door and frowns as she saw Rainbow with the green on, laughing. The filly should've known that it was her, pulling a prank on them!

"Ugh; 'Dat pranking cheat," Apple Bloom groans as she turns to her friends who overheard Rainbow's laughing and are not happy either, especially Scootaloo. "She went an' pulled a trick on us!"

"Wanna get back at her?" Sweetie asks her friends, knowing that her pals would want payback on Rainbow for her prank like she does.

"Luckily, I know where there's a pterosaur outfit in the closet." Scootaloo said devilishly. The trio heads off to get the costume. It's payback time!

-----------------------

A while later, Apple Bloom has the Duah head on, Sweetie the mid-section and Scootaloo the bottom part. They snuck over to the couch, ready to give Rainbow a big scare that she deserves.

Speaking of the prankster, Rainbow was looking for a book to read and found one. As she heads back to the couch, the mare said, "All right, now this is a cool story. I also like it for the pictures."

Rainbow sat down on the couch, unaware that she is also sitting on the fake Duah. The pony prepares to read then she begins to yawn. A hoof/claw that wasn't hers covers Rainbow's mouth to help her yawn...and she didn't notice at first.

Rainbow pulls out a lollipop so she can lick it while reading, which the mare begins to be doing, "'Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess'." Unknown to her, the fillies in the costume took the candy from her and bite into it. They put the lollipop back into Rainbow's hooves as, still not noticing, she read on, "'Oh, so very beautiful. She lived in a...'"

Rainbow prepares to lick her lollipop when she notice something's wrong: it has a big big out of it. The pony gasps as she holds the candy to hear mouth. Weird, Rainbow couldn't have a big bite like that!

Rainbow heard growling and slowly looks up to see what appears to be the Duah looking down at her. This causes the pony to go a much more paler white when she screams while flying up and out of the room.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders peek out of their costume and laugh with glee. That will teach Rainbow to pull a prank similar to their own again!

Of course, unknown to the pony, a familiar pterosaur creature was peeking right into the house: the real escaped Duah! The monster lifts up the windows of the house and came right in. The Cutie Mark Crusaders immediately turn, seeing the real Duah growling right at them!

The three fillies scream with terror as they run off with their individual costumes on. They ran right into another room...where Rainbow is peeking out of a jar with an umbrella to see where the Duah has gone off to. The mare looks shocked as she saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders in parts of the Duah costume. It didn't take long for her to realize what has happened before.

"Oh, so," Rainbow exclaims angrily to the Cutie Mark Crusaders who yelps and turns around quickly. Looks like their prank before is exposed. "Want to get even with me, eh?! Well, it's my turn to get even MORE even!"

Rainbow chases after the Cutie Mark Crusaders to get even with them. The three rush to a door but it was opened by the Duah on the other side who roars at them. The Cutie Mark Crusaders looks up in terror and ran off towards another room.

Rainbow came in and pounces right onto the face of the Duah, trying to tear off the face. During this time, the angry mare still thins that the Cutie Mark Crusaders has put on the disguise again and is trying to scare her off once more.

"All right, girls! Take off the outfit right now! I know you're in there! Cut it out and take it off! Take out that outfit right..." Rainbow begins to yell. But as she turns around, the mare's eyes widened as she saw three familiar fillies sneaking off with the individual costume that they're still wearing. "...off."

Rainbow looks shocked as she points a hoof at the fillies and what is the real monster. If that's them...then who is the Duah that she's confronting?

A nervous Rainbow opens the Duah's mouth and look inside, calling out, "Girls? Oh girls," Of course, the echo of what the pony just said came back, making her gulp. "Hoo boy, I'm dead, am I?"

The Duah roars as he grabs Rainbow, preparing to harm her. Just then another news bulleting is heard on the radio, "We interrupt this program once more to give you another news bulletin! Newsflash, a reminder! If you look any animal in the wild in the eye, you can master them! That's it all; Back to your regular scheduled program!'

Rainbow smirks as she looks right into the Duah's eye. Maybe she can master him and causes the pterosaur creature to back off. However, the mare saw a gravestone in his eye that reads, 'Here lies on dead pony'. Perhaps that wasn't just a good idea.

The Duah roars but a freaked out Rainbow grabs the umbrella and stuck it in his mouth. The creature yelps as it was open and tries to get out while his victim makes her escape. That was a close one!

-----------------------------

Rainbow and the fillies decide to forgive one another for their pranks earlier as they have to deal with the Duah to survive one way or another. The mare told the Cutie Mark Crusaders to keep quiet and follow her around to stay together.

Apple Bloom was holding a candle with her mouth while Rainbow is holding an ax somehow as the four snuck around the house for any sign of the Duah. Applejack's sister was looking around but she wasn't paying attention to what she herself was doing. This causes her to spill some hot wax from the candle right onto Rainbow's tail.

As expected, Rainbow screams in pain as she flew up in alarm then lands back onto the floor. The mare frowns as she saw what appears to be a wax hoof right on her tail. Apple Bloom chuckles as she removes the wax thing, saying, "Shucks, looks like a wax glove fer a tail 'ta me!"

"Knock it off!" Rainbow whispers as she slaps a hoof at the wax one, breaking the thing. "We got no time for this. That Duah is in the house and could strike at any given moment! Follow my lead."

The ponies got on all fours, slowly creeping around a place. Rainbow held up one hoof to communicate with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, telling them to stop. Too bad Apple Bloom didn't get the signal as she kept on crawling with her candle burning at the adult pony's tail once more.

As expected, Rainbow screams in alarm as she ends up chopping at the door with her ax. The mare, recovering, turns to Apple Bloom, red and hot as a tea kettle, showing how upset she is right now.

"Ugh! Never mind, I can do this myself!" Rainbow snaps as she grabs the candle from Apple Bloom. "You all hide while I handle that Duah. Go on, get going!"

The mare motions the Cutie Mark Crusaders to head off into hiding while Rainbow kicks right at Scootaloo, making her whine a bit. The Pegasus pony shushes her, "Hey, not so loud! Do you want to alert that Duah?!" Rainbow turns away for a moment, not noticing that she is holding the candle near the doorknob (don't ask me why ponies has them), causing it to become very, VERY hot, "Ugh, those silly ponies. Can't they do something right once in a while?"

Rainbow of course grabs the doorknob and screams in pain while yelling, "Whoa, hot, hot, HOT!!!"

-------------------------------------------

Rainbow sneaks around nervously, peeking in one of the doors. That Duah is around here somewhere, she just knows it! Unknown to the pony, the monster is flying in the rafters in the ceiling, ready to get his victims.

Rainbow then snuck past the room and flew around the corner...and right into Duah's arms, sending her right at his face. The mare looks horrified as she finds herself looking eye to eye with the Duah once more. Not good!

Rainbow's tail felt the Duah's teeth then taps her on the shoulder. She turns as the mare saw her tail pointing upward and south. The pony looks at the teeth...that is enough to get the signal across!

Rainbow screams and run into the living, closing the door. The Duah chases her and pulls the doorknob...causing him to rid the thing off the hinges and looking through the doorway. Unknown to him, Rainbow is holding onto the part of the door that ripped off with her life.

The Duah looks into the Rainbow shapes hole, growling as he puts the thing back...only for it to fall to the floor, exposing the mare. Rainbow gasps as she saw the Duah growling like mad. The pony flew off with the monster chasing her, breaking the whole door in the progress.

The Duah tries to grab Rainbow while chasing her in various ways on feet, claws, whatever but he always miss. The mare flew upstairs, swinging on the stairs' support beam with the monster doing the same thing, tearing the said beam's wood off during the mad chase.

Rainbow, flying upwards, saw a ladder and quickly put it near the stairs in time. As the Duah ran up them, he also flew up the ladder and right through the room's ceiling, causing him to go upward through a few floors of the place.

After Duah stops on the top floor, he growls and flew back down through the newly-made holes after Rainbow. She gasps upon seeing him coming and uses the ladder to make a run for it with the monster in pursuit once more. In the next room that has a step in it, the mare trips, breaking the ladder itself and turning them right into stilts.

Rainbow's stilts lands in a pair of boots as she kept on running while leaping over the table. The Duah flew over the same thing then grabs the stilts, sending his victim flying onto a table, sliding on it. Her pursuer just flew under the table and appears at the other end roaring.

Rainbow stops in time and closes the mouth, rushing the other way, causing the boards to fly off the table, landing right into the Duah's arms. The mare ran out of boards and finds herself clutching right between the table, trapped.

With a growl, the Duah broke all the boards with his claws then toss them away. He then proceeds to push one end of the table, preparing to crush Rainbow who groans, "Oh man! What a bad time for my friends to not be here. I'm supposed to be a brave one and I'm letting some creep scare me."

The Duah then bites at Rainbow who works hard to fend him off but she may not be able to do for long. The Cutie Mark Crusaders watch the action in worry. They got to save Rainbow but how?

Just then, another news bulletin came on the radio to give the fillies an answer, "We interrupt this program with yet another news bulletin! Newsflash! We have gotten word that the Duah may be subdued when under the influence of tear gas! So in order to subdue the Duah, use tear gas! That is all! Now back to our regularly scheduled program!"

The fillies look at each other, nodding as Sweetie asks, "Tear gas? Cool! Luckily, Apple Bloom got the tear gas from her brother Big Macintosh's room from his military days in case we ran into problems!"

"Right, come on, let's get it!" Scootaloo exclaims as the three girls rush off to get the tear gas in hopes to save Rainbow in time.

Rainbow gulps as the Duah push the table up to her neck now between the table. The pony groans, "Spare me, spare me!" She groans as she herself begins to pray, "Oh this is it. Goodbye, ponies, good bye fillies!"

Luckily for Rainbow, the Cutie Mark Crusaders has came back with the tear gas. Apple Bloom pull the pin off with her teeth and throw the thing into the room and right near the Duah. The creature looks puzzled then he begins to sniff it...then the Duah begins to sniff with water smelling up in his eyes in sadness.

"Amen!" Rainbow exclaims as if that is her final word. But then she heard sniffing, turning to see the Duah crying her eyes out. The pony smiles and laughs, "Oh, man! This is so awesome! I'm not going to die after all! I'm..."

Of course, Rainbow's joy was cut off and for a good reason: she smells the tear gas by mistake, causing her to start crying as well.

----------

A while later, the zookeepers arrived at the house after the Cutie Mark Crusaders reported the Duah, subdued and ready for captured. The zookeepers themselves are surprised to see the monster hugging Rainbow as both are crying. The girls explain what happened that the mare accidentally got exposed to the tear gas.

Rainbow took out a handkerchief and blows her snout into it before giving it to the Duah who gave out a loud blow from blowing into the thing. One thing's for sure: Rainbow isn't going to die today.

---------------

The crowd laughs and applauding for the cartoon, a job well done. But as they continue applauding and cheering, not one of them notices that Smaug's table is empty...or the fact that it's time for the villains to make their move at last.

Author's Notes:

Poor Rainbow Dash, at least she survives the Duah. All right, in the next chapter, at last, the villains finally make their move and take over with a song called 'It's Our House Now!'. Read, review and suggest!

The Duah is a creature suggested to me by the same friend. The monster will appear in another future MLP fic.

Chapter 7: It's Our House Now!

Midnight is approaching and Ben is checking off some things on his checklist...but yelps as someone grabs him, pulling the stallion aside. Ben gasps as his mouth was covered by Chrysalis who shushes him.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Ben demands to Chrysalis as Smaug appears with an evil smirk.

"It's midnight; I got one trick for Twilight Sparkle! Sorry, Ben but we can't be dull villains on Nightmare Night." Smaug said to Ben who struggles in Chrysalis's hold.

Smaug then motions down the hall to Dr. Lizardo who gave the signal to Trixie who is standing near the Master Power Generator to the club, ready to throw the switch.

On stage, Twilight, not realizing what's about to happen, was speaking to the audience, "All right, everypony! Time for a change of pace!"

"Lights out," Trixie laughs evilly as she uses her magic to throw the generator switch. To the surprise of the audience and the confusion of Twilight, the whole stage went into a blackout.

"Huh? What the hay?"

Suddenly the lights came on, Twilight looks shocked as she saw Smaug behind her, saying, "Oh, you are so right, Twilight! It's Nightmare Night after all and with the right touch..."

Dr. Lizardo grabs Twilight with his tail before she could react. Smaug then pulls a pose as he begins to sing.

Smaug: This could be quite the place!

In the cellar, Trixie opens a crate that is labeled 'Tartarus demons' as they are released onto the frightened audience.

Trixie: Full of grinning, happy faces!

Chrysalis smirks as she came onto stage while Ben Mare is still in his clutches via her magic.

Chrysalis: Hanging out!

Dr. Lizardo held up Twilight evilly.

Dr. Lizardo: Feeling fine!

The spotlight is now Discord as he came onto the stage singing.

Discord: Where everyone's a friend of mine!

Gilda gave a cheer of amazement as Trixie, making her entrance, sings next.

Trixie: Inside this evil joint

As Dr. Lizardo walks up to Smaug, the villain points his horn out as if using his magic to make something appear.

Dr. Lizardo: Every guest gets to the point

All villains: This day will live in infamy!

The screen now shows a giant clock that counts down the final minutes to midnight.

Chrysalis: The House of Pony is history!

The villains laugh evilly. As the demons goes into the audience, they sang together as the whole place grows red and frightening.

Villains: It's our House now!
It's our House now!

Ghosts: It's a fact you can't ignore!

Villains: Shut the windows!

Some of the guests, frightened by what's happened, tries to get to the entrance but was blocked off by the ghosts. Lyra and Bon-Bon looks around, scared out of their minds.

Lock the doors!
It's our House now!
Raise your mugs, you thieves and thugs!
Join the rabble-rousing crowd!
It's our House now!

Roclan and Lorcan Hyde: All the coolest dragons fit in so perfectly

Nightmare Moon: Every Evil queen gets due respect!

Nightmare Moon grew big into a huge monster, stopping near Grogar who puts a hoof on her shoulder in approval.

Grogar: Love your work

Ben Mare yelps as Pierro, the evil Jester of Demons, held him up with his long arms and tries to hypnotize him, but the stallion looks away.

Pierro: You'll forget your troubles
Put your trust in me

Lavan then lead his lava demons across the floor towards the stage.

Lavan: You've had your fun!

Lava Demons: You've made your play!

All Villains: But every filly has her day!

Pierro then throws Twilight and Ben right onto the lava demons who begins crowd-surfing right out of the house.

It's our House now!

Fred and Ed: Down and Dirty!

Gilda and Grogar: It's our House now!

Garble and his dragon goons: Me hearty!

Discord uses his chaos to roast food for the dragons.

Discord: What a place for breaking bread!

Daisy, Lily and Rose looks terrorized as Draggle and Reeka advances on them menacing.

Draggle and Reeka: Things are better!

The three fillies are saved, unfortunately, by Lavan who appears and knocks the two witches out with his arms.

Lavan: Off with their heads!

Soon some of the villains got together to form a conga line.

All villains: It's our House now!
What a party!
Join the fun with no regrets
Only greedy, dirty deeds are allowed!

Lavan evilly orders his lava demons to trap the other guests in the kitchen to keep them from getting in the way of the bad guys' fun. Meanwhile, the remaining lava demons continued crowd-surfing Twilight and Ben right out of the club.

Trixie: Get those ponies!

Dr. Lizardo: Game over, Twiley!

Chrysalis: Hit the road, Benny!

Smaug: Take a hike, chickies!

All villains:IT'S OUR HOUSE NOW!
DON'T BOTHER COMING BACK!
IT'S OUR HOUSE NOW!

The couple are thrown right out out into the streets as the song came to an end. As the villains are heard laughing at their triumph, Twilight and Ben turns to see that the sign has changed to 'House of Chaos'.

"Ugh, Ben; did we just got kicked out of our house?" Twilight ask Ben with a frown as the rest of the Mane Six and Spike got thrown out as well.

"Unfortunately," Ben said with a sigh to his love.

"I think those brutes have broken the rules!" Rarity exclaims with a frown. "They've broken the rules and took over while our guard was done!"

"An' those baddies lock 'de guests in 'de kitchen? Why not kill them off an' git it over wit'?" Applejack asks with a groan of annoyance at what happened during the song.

"Eep; don't give me that thought!" Fluttershy exclaims with a quick yelp while hiding behind her mane.

Pinkie comment, "The villains Pinkie Promised they would not cause trouble! THEY PINKIE PROMISED! NOPONY BREAKS A PINKIE PROMISE!" She charges in screaming like a demonically possessed manic.

"Hoo boy, we better get inside and set things right before Pinkie tears the place apart, come on, Rainbow." Twilight said as she and Rainbow follows Pinkie into the place, the mare takes her cloak off.

"Something tells me that this isn't going to be easy." Spike said to himself in worry.

Author's Notes:

Yikes! The bad guys took over and Pinkie's mad! In the next chapter, after Twilight and her friends tries to set things right and fail, the bad guys...watch another cartoon. Yeah, doesn't make sense but oh well. In the cartoon which is a fanmake of 'Donald's Halloween Scare' called 'Rainbow Dash's Nightmare Night Scare', the Pegasus pony pulls a mean prank on the Cutie Mark Crusaders so it's time for payback. Read, review and suggest.

Pierro is an OC suggested by VISION-KING himself who will appear in my stories.

Fred and Ed are two OC Changelings suggested to me by a buddy of mine.

Lavan and his lava demons are also from the first series.

Chapter 8: Rainbow Dash's Nightmare Night Scare

Author's note
This Halloween/Nightmare Night story has 3 chapters left and it will be done. Also, I planned on Twilight's friends joining her in the final battle to use the Elements of Harmony so some suggestions may be changed.

All right, time to continue.

The villains are enjoying themselves in their new House of Chaos, now under their control. Smaug smiles on stage as he looks at the other villains, remarking, "Okay, now that the House of Pony, or House of Chaos, is our house now, things are going to be different from now on..."

"This is perfect." Seto said while he turns to his queen and continues in a seductive tone. "Right my queen?"

"Shut up!" Chrysalis snaps at Seto, not in the mood for his come ons right now.

"Don't sorry, Seto!" Ed exclaims to Seto to cheer him up after Chrysalis's snapping mouth.

"Yeah, least ya still got us." Fred said with a stupid nod.

"Joy..." Seto said sarcastically to his fellow Changelings. "This is more fun than the activities in the My Little Pony comic books."

"All right, enough, Smaug, you had your fun!" A familiar voice snaps angrily. The villains groans in annoyance as Smaug saw Twilight coming on stage. "Yeah, yeah, good stunt you pulled on us, but I'm going to set things right! And I brought my pals! Rainbow, Pinkie?"

Rainbow got on stage and jumps for a good reason. Pinkie is still screaming like a demonically possessed manic and holding her own pretty well against all the villains EXCEPT the main ones (Smaug, Discord, Trixie, Doctor Lizardo and Queen Chrysalis themselves); Looks like the villains' takeover is going to be a short one.

That is until Dr. Lizardo calls out to Pinkie, "Sorry about that! Didn't mean to break a Pinkie Promise; it's Nightmare Night and we don't want to be dull villains for not doing anything."

That did it, Pinkie calms out, out of her Pinkie Promise rage, while snapping, "Well, I heard a sorry in there so I will take that one. But you got to do a lot more apologizing later."

"Yes, lovely, love." Dr. Lizardo said in a lovingly tone of voice as he grabs Pinkie. The pink pony is creeped out as the mad scientist performs his over-affectionate embraces. "Come on, my dear. Join us, I will show you the time of the Chaos life. We will dance the night away, having more fun than ever. We shall party all throughout Equestria, darling; Hoo hoo hoo hoo."

Pinkie breaks away and runs off, Lizardo snicker, "I love it when they play hard to get."

Tirek snap, "Let's get the mind back on the task at hoof, LePew."

Twilight roll her eyes while snapping to Smaug's group, "All right, Smaug, because you just violated rule of the House of Pony, which is no villainous schemes even if it is Nightmare Night but the rules still apply in this place, I will just slap you on the wrist...as long as you get off my stage right now or we will get rough!"

Smaug on the other hands, roll his eyes as he made some signal. Boris exclaims to him in alarm, "Wait, Smaug! Don't hurt Twilight! She's mine!"

"Oh, I won't...they will." Smaug said with an evil smirk.

Twilight smirks to her friends (Pinkie came back), but they got a scared look on her face. The unicorn turns and saw Discord and Chrysalis going near the villain...as well as Grogar who grew big and smirks while preparing his horns.

Twilight gulps a bit then screams as she and his friends got kicked right out of the House of Chaos, along with Rainbow and Pinkie. The purple mare groans, "Do you think we should've taken the others with us on this?"

"Yeah, pretty much." Rainbow said to Twilight with a shrug.

The villains applaud inside the club as Smaug laughs, "Nice try, Twilight, but you, that party pony and that ego-driven Pegasi are about to get a real fright with this next cartoon!"

"Wait, I thought we were going to do villainous acts, not watch cartoons." Rainbow Chaos points out to Smaug with a frown. "How is that different than the House of Pony?"

"We will do villainous acts eventually! You can't rush these things, Rainbow Chaos!"

The villains applaud some more as the next cartoon starts.

---------------------------

It is Nightmare Night in Equestria and the ponies are trick or treating, with foals going around getting candy. Even those lovable Cutie Mark Crusaders are out and about in Shadowbolts outfits, with their bags in their hooves. Anything could happen in this place, especially the terror and such.

The three Foals first stop at Rarity's place which is closed to customers but opened to customers. As they came over, a familiar mare came out in a witch's outfit, laughing while giving her sister and her friends a little fright, making them jump; The Cutie Mark Crusaders smile, knowing that it's part of the fun.

Rarity hums a bit as she uses her magic to stir her pot around to get something good, pulling out Opalscence who screeches and ran out. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo saw a huge batch of candy that the white unicorn pulls out. They held out their bags to get the candy.

-----------------

Next stop is the library as the three foals snuck near the entrance, coming into the place. The trio stops as they saw a coffin in the middle of the room shaped like a pony...that opens by itself revealing candy inside. Apple Bloom, Sweetie and Scootaloo took...and saw a familiar horn popping out.

The fillies screams in alarm as Twilight came out in a vampire outfit with a smirk. Her colt-friend is taking Nyx out for trick or treating as well as Spike so the purple unicorn is giving out candy by herself.

Twilight pass out plastic Nightmare Night jack-o-lanterns full of candy. The Cutie Mark Crusaders smile while thanking their friends. As they leave, Twilight chuckles while slowly going back into the coffin which closes.

Of course as the Cutie Mark Crusaders leave, Scootaloo got curious and went back to the coffin and open it...but screams as bat flew out of the thing, causing her to run off, but her devil's tail of the costume got stuck in the coffin. Scootaloo ends up dragging the thing until she got to the entrance. The door closes, ripping the devil's tail right out as the Pegasus filly rush over to join her friends.

Twilight, who left her coffin, peeks through a window and chuckles before getting back to what she was doing.

-----------------

Next up is Sugarcube Corner where Pinkie is giving out candy. As the Cutie Mark Crusaders slowly snuck towards it, they fil to see a tree is following them. Of course, the said tree is really a cutout.

Upon arrival at Sugarcube Corner, the Cutie Mark Crusaders finally saw the tree and trots towards it...then it turns around to reveal Pinkie...in a pink bunny outfit? The Earth pony gives out a scary sound.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders blink as they turn to Sugarcube Corner which is decorated with stuff for Easter it looks like. Pinkie gave eggs to the foals while exclaiming, "Hippity hoppity, happy Nightmare Night, you three! Are you scared?!"

"Doubtfully; Pinkie Pie, do yew even remember what Nightmare Night is about?" Apple Bloom asks Pinkie dryly.

"On the 31st of October of course easy; and I'm supposed to dress up and give out stuff!"

"Yeah, but I think you got your holidays messed up." Sweetie said with a sigh. "You don't give out eggs on Nightmare Night, remember?"

"Right, you give out candy!" Scootaloo exclaims to Pinkie in agreement.

"Oh, oopsie; Well, I will try to remember that, thanks!" Pinkie exclaims sheepishly to the three fillies. So the mare messed up a bit. Maybe next time, she will get Nightmare Night right!

--------------------

Soon, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are arriving to the home of Rainbow Dash. Sweetie said, "All right, once we get candy from Rainbow Dash, we should be done. Let's hope she doesn't try to be a major prank like the incident with Zecora."

Thanks to cloud walking magic, the three coals trot up the cloud path and head right to Rainbow's door. They knock while calling out, "Trick or treat!" Of course, oddly enough, Rainbow herself didn't answer.

Apple Bloom knocks on the door then looks through the keyhole. Rainbow's TV is on to a Wonderbolts program...and she appears to be on the couch, sleeping and covered with a blanekt.

"Well, shoot! Looks like Rainbow is napping...an' probably not wanting 'ta do 'de trick or treating 'dis year. Figures," Apple Bloom groans a bit. Rainbow is like this every year.

Suddenly a shadow looms over the fillies, much to their notice. They look up...and saw a figure with glowing red eyes whose has a hook for a hoof. The Cutie Mark Crusaders scream in terror as the dark figure appears, wearing a mask like that of a certain movie monster.

Literal ghosts came out of the girls then goes back inside before the Cutie Mark Crusaders gallop off in terror and leave their treat or treat bags behind, the figure glares menacingly at them. The trio quickly rushes away from Rainbow's home, rushing to a hollow tree nearby.

As the Cutie Mark Crusaders peek out from behind the tree, Apple Bloom said with a sigh, "Ah done we think lost 'de guy."

"Wait...what about Rainbow Dash?" Sweetie asks with a gasp of horror. The mare is in danger from that killer!

"We got to warn her!" Scootaloo exclaims in a panic. Rainbow Dash is in danger and she doesn't even know it!

In Rainbow Dash's home, the figure got in with the foals' trick or treat bags, putting them in a bowl on the table and appearing Rainbow still sleeping on the couch. He then removes his mask and his hoof, as well as his hood revealing himself to be...Rainbow Dash?!

Rainbow chuckles eagerly as she glances at the candy bars, saying, "Oh yeah! That was one of the best pranks that I've ever pulled! Did I scare those girls good! They didn't even have the foresight to realize that the 'Rainbow Dash' that they saw was a dummy...literally!"

Sure enough, it turns out that the Rainbow Dash on the couch was really a basketball with a rainbow colored mop, a plastic knife and fake eyes on that is attached to a bin, taped with two forks, a sock and some shoes. That way, the mare can freak out any treat or treaters and steal their candy!

Meanwhile, the Cutie Mark Crusaders rush back to Rainbow Dash's home. It's risky doing so but they must warn their friend. But as the three girls peek through the keyhole, they saw to their surprise the mare herself throwing the dummy aside.

"Well, Nightmare Night should be over so I won't need that for a while. Time to watch the Wonderbolts Nightmare Night special while eating the treats that those cutie mark finding fillies has 'gave me'." Rainbow laughs a bit as she sat down onto the couch and reach into the candy bowl, eating one piece of candy...then spit it on. Turns out that the Pegasus pony has bit into one of the eggs that Pinkie gave the girls, "Ugh, that Pinkie Pie is so random. Why must she do this on Nightmare Night? Oh well."

Rainbow munches on the candy in the bowl eagerly while watching the Wonderbolts' Nightmare Night special. Unknown to her, the Cutie Mark Crusaders saw what she's doing...and are not happy at all.

"Well, turn out Rainbow is still at it...she gone too far 'dis time. Time fer payback once more; Okay, here's de plan." Apple Bloom said in determination as the Cutie Mark Crusaders gather around to begin the plan: to get revenge on Rainbow Dash.

--------------------

Rainbow sighs as she put the candy bowl aside, having eaten all the candy in it...minus the eggs which the mare has threw out. Unknown to her, the shadows of Apple Bloom, Sweetie and Scootaloo sneak around. Rainbow looks confused as she turns around...but nothing is there. Odd.

Rainbow shrugs as she relaxes a bit, not seeing the fillies sneak past her. They turn, showing their teeth at the unsuspecting pranking pony. That startled the Pegasus pony enough to jump and looks behind the couch as if something is about to pounce from behind her.

This allows Sweetie to put glue on Rainbow's hook along with her mask then leaves just befoe Rainbow frowns while sitting back down. She is getting uncomfortable with this; perhaps the pony is getting paranoid; Unknown to her, the Cutie Mark Crusaders sneak out of the place; Time for the next part of their plan.

Rainbow looks around carefully as if wondering what's going to happen...then heard the door slam, making the Pegasus pony gasps and grabs a baseball bat with her mouth as if going to swing it.

Rainbow heard a knock on the door, making her calm down and put the baseball ball away then sighs, "Must be more trick or treaters...and more candy for me! Better get my costume on!" The pony got the costume, mask, hook and all, and jumps out of the place, roaring...but stopping upon seeing that it's just one of the Royal Guard named General Spanish Steel. "Oh! General Spanish Steel, good evening!"

"Yes, I hate to disturb you but three young fillies had gone missing this evening." Spanish Steel said sternly as he held up a poster of some masked monster...which looks like Rainbow's outfit. "Have you seen this fellow by any chance?"

Rainbow looks nervous while shaking her head, that guy in the poster looks definitely like her outfit. Spanish Steel in suspicion as he pull out a mirror, remarking, "No? Maybe you do because you look like the guy from the picture, Murdering Slasher!"

"Wait, wait; hang on!" Rainbow exclaims in panic. She got to prove to this Royal Guard that she herself isn't the Murdering Slasher! The mare tries to pull her hoof off but it's stuck to her hoof. "Wait, hang on. I can explain."

"Explain it to the princesses! I knew that you are the Murdering Slasher! You are under arrest for scaring foals to death!"

"I didn't! I am not the murderer!"

Rainbow screams in terror as she flew away, trying to escape Spanish Steel while pushing him out of the way. Of course, had the mare look back, she should've realized that it was really the Cutie Mark Crusaders in costume all along.

As the Cutie Mark Crusaders chuckle, Apple Bloom spoke into a headset on her head, "Pinkie, she's heading over 'ta where you are! Tell Twilight an' Rarity that it's time fer 'de next part. We will head to the fourth and final part to meet Rainbow there."

Scootaloo chuckles as she spoke in Spanish Steel's voice while Sweetie blew the whistle, "Come back here, you insane maniac!"

-------------

Rainbow flew over a tree and hid behind it while peeking out. This is crazy! The Royal Guard thinks that she is the Murdering Slasher who killed off the Cutie Mark Crusaders! The mare was only pulling a prank, she didn't mean to scare them to death!

Suddenly the tree moves, revealing Pinkie who was hiding in the fake thing. The Earth pony takes the poster out, comparing the Murdering Slasher in it to Rainbow in her costume. Now, while Pinkie is random, even she knew that this was really her friend...but the Cutie Mark Crusaders told her, Twilight and Rarity what happened. Even they agree that the Pegasus pony has gone too far in her prank so they agree to help get even with Rainbow as well.

"Hey, hold it right there, Murdering Slasher!" Pinkie exclaims with a frown.

"Wait, Pinkie Pie, it's me..." Rainbow couldn't say her name as Pinkie throw eggs at her, causing the mare to run off like mad, heading to the library. Twilight has to help her with this madness that the mare has caused apparently.

Twilight's coffin is outside the library as Rainbow ran into it. The coffin opens up as the mare come up, glare menacingly while snarling, "Slashing monster, you've gone too far this time! Now you shall pay!"

"Wait, wait! It's only me, Twilight!"

Rainbow screams as she flew off, even the purple unicorn thinks her as the killer! The Pegasus pony flew over to the Carousel Baroque and jumps inside the cauldron. Rainbow sighs in relief; that was a close one.

Suddenly Rainbow yelps in alarm as Rarity hits the cauldron with a spoon, causing her to get shaken up and forcing the mare out. She looks up and saw the white unicorn smirking while holding a ladle. To make matters worse for the disguised Rainbow, Twilight is nearby with a stake and mallet while Pinkie is holding her basket of eggs, all of them looks like they want to take her down (of course, it was really part of the plan to get even with Rainbow).

"Get the meanie!" Pinkie exclaims. Rainbow screams as she tries to run but fell into the cauldron, causing it to roll downhill.

Once both are gone, the three ponies laugh a bit while Twilight remarks, "Looks like we got her good. The girls can take it from here." The mare glances at Pinkie in her costume. "Pinkie, you are in a different holiday outfit...did you know that?"

-------------

Rainbow screams as she continues rolling down in the cauldron, with her hook getting caught on a tree on the way down, finally coming off and freeing her hoof. But she continues flying before rolling her down into a graveyard, rolling the cauldron down as if in an intense pinball game.

Soon the cauldron came to a stop as Rainbow came out; a tombstone hits her on the head and breaks her mask. The mare groans and rubs her head while saying, "Ouch...at least I can get away from that Slashing Murderer mistaken identify..."

Rainbow gasps in horror as she discovers where she was in...a cemetery! The mare turns and saw another horrifying sight: three tombstones with Apple Bloom, Sweetie and Scootaloo's names right on them!

"Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle...and Scootaloo," Rainbow gulps in horror upon seeing the names. "Did I really scare those three fillies to death?! Oh man, oh man!"

Then something more terrifying happens: Apple Bloom's hoof print came out as Sweetie appears, looking like a zombie while Scootaloo's hooves came out. Soon the three Cutie Mark Crusaders came out of the ground, moaning like zombies causing Rainbow to shake in terror. Of course, they were using magic to do so to get back at her.

"Rainbow Dash..." Sweetie said, speaking in a zombie voice.

"You scared us..." Scootaloo groans in the way.

"'TA DEATH," Apple Bloom exclaims in the same zombie voice.

Raibnow's reaction; Her literal ghost jumps out of her and flew off...but grabs the scared mare and got back into her. The Pegasus pony flew on and hid in a coffin. She sighs and lit a match...except three familiar filly zombies rose up menacingly.

Rainboe scream and blew out the match before crashing out of the coffin, flying off. The mare ends up running into a tombstone on top of a cliff, causing her to slid down it on the tombstone itself, knocking over several tombstones on the way down.

Rainbow spots a couple of ropes attached to the tombstone that she's riding, causing her to turn to see, to her terror, the Cutie Mark Crusaders holding onto them, acting like zombies still. They let go to allow their pranking pal to hit another tombstone, falling downward onto the ground.

Rainbow recovers and backs away with the Cutie Mark Crusaders trying to get her. The pony trips backward an fell right into a dug hole that is shaped just like her. She looks up to see the zombie Sweetie with a shovel in her mouth.

Rainbow gasps as zombie Apple Bloom peeks into the hole with another shovel in her mouth, growling, "Rainbow Dash, sure hope yew done like our candy..."

"Because it was ours," Zombie Scootaloo growls as she held another shovel wait.

"Wait, wait! I'm sorry, girls! Even I know now that my prank went too far!" Rainbow pleads with terror. "Spare me; I will get you your candy back!!"

"All of it?" Sweetie asks with a glare on her face.

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. And that's a Pinkie Promise too! Even I know that I wouldn't dare break it!"

Rainbow cross her heart, making the Cutie Mark Crusaders smirks devilishly. Scootaloo remarks, "Oh, and we're holding you to that Pinkie Promise..."

----------

"I cannot believe this." Rainbow groans as she goes up to Sugarcube Corner. Turns out that the Cutie Mark Crusaders aren't dead at all, they, along with her friends were getting back at her for the prank before.

And to make matters worse, Rainbow has done the Pinkie Promise so she has to get the candy back for the Cutie Mark Crusaders or face a mad Pinkie Pie...and worst yet, she has to do the trick or treating as well as getting the candy back in a devil's outfit!

"Come on, come on!" The Cutie Mark Crusaders snaps as they point a pitchfork at Rainbow.

"All right, I'm doing it!" Rainbow sighs as she rang the doorbell on Sugarcube Corner. Once the door opens, the mare say, "Trick or Treat!"

But then, a dark figure with a hook appears, raisined her hooked hoof up. The four ponies gasp and scream in terror, leaving the bag and pitchfork behind while making a run for it. The Murdering Slasher is real!

That is until the figure came out to reveal...Pinkie Pie in a Santa Hooves outfit holding candy canes. Once again, the Earth pony has messed up the holidays.

"Hey, where are you going? I got the candy thing right this time!" Pinkie exclaims in confusion, not sure why her friends has ran off like that. She shrugs. "Oh well, more for the trick-or-treaters, I guess; Ho ho ho, Happy Nightmare Night!"

Pinkie happily licks her candy cane as the cartoon came to an end.

Once the cartoon is over, the villains applaud, despite the fact that they're watching cartoons of the good guys. Still, they cheer on, having a great time in their new club.

Outside, the Mane Six, Ben and Spike watch outside from the entrance; Pinkie asks in concern, "Anypony got any idea?"

"We can't just stand here an' let those creeps take our club." Applejack said to her friends with a frown. "We must do something!"

"All right; move aside, fillies, I will deal with Smaug and Fluttershy is coming with me!" Ben snaps as he marches into the House of Pony with Fluttershy. The stallion is going to use force to take the club back.

Rainbow comment, "I haven't seen Ben that mad since the last time we had to deal with Boris."

Twilight nod and admit, "I know. But somehow, I doubt THIS will go as well."

Author's Notes:

Well, Rainbow has learned her lesson though Pinkie has got the last laugh in the cartoon unknowingly, In the next cartoon, after Ben and Fluttershy's failed attempt, we go to the final cartoon fanmake, which is a Silly Symphony of 'Hansel and Gretel' which stars Twilight and Ben as the main characters, dealing with Princess Victoria, an evil version of Cadance. Read, review and suggest.

Dr. Lizardo's hitting on Pinkie Pie reflects that of Pepe Le Pew.

Yes, I know that Ben Mare is in the Minnie role for this series...but he does live at the same library as Twilight and Nyx so another character is in order here.

Chapter 9: Hansel and Gretel

Back inside the House of Chaos, Smaug chuckles while making the next announcement, "And now...I've saved the best for last."

"Hold it right there, Smaug!" A familiar voice snaps, much to Smaug's notice. The villains groans as Ben and Fluttershy came on stage. Not again! "Okay, I understand what you're going but this has gone far enough!"

"Booo! Get off the stage, you freaks!" Lorcan Hyde yells at Ben and Fluttershy in annoyance. Roclan hits him.

"Shut up!" Roclan scowls at Lorcan Hyde in annoyance.

"Ya wanna go?"

"Don't mind if I do!"

Fluttershy try her special Stare, which ends up cowing all the villains EXCEPT Smaug and Discord into submission. Ben continues, "Smaug, I'm giving you and your pals 30 seconds to change this back to the House of Pony right now! Or I'm sending Fluttershy here to kick some butt!"

Ben starts counting down while Smaug shakes his head, motioning over to Discord. The evil Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony turns his claws into hooks and grabs the stallion and Fluttershy, the mare yelps as her Stare soon lost its control. Ben didn't know what was going on until Discord floats off with him and Fluttershy, taking them out to the door.

"All right, let's heat things up with a twisted tale that even Twilight and Ben would find to be a real scream," Smaug chuckles, hearing a noise of Ben and Fluttershy being thrown out by Discord, "Roll it, Gilda!"

"All right," Gilda laughs in the control central as she hits the projector. The villains applaud as the next and final cartoon of the night starts.

---------------------

It was one evening in the Everfree Forest. Twilight and her colt friend Ben Mare were trotting along, holding hooves. The couple was planning a romantic evening, not wanting to ruin the chance to be together.

Twilight cross over a small river and pull a slim leaf of a plant, putting it between the land to let Ben cross...of course, the stallion just jumps over the river. He isn't a mare after all! Twilight blinks as she cross the slim leaf, letting the water touch her hooves while following Ben,

Ben uses a hollow log as a bridge while Twilight catches up, the two kept on walking...until they came upon a very unusual sight: a house made out of candy. The ponies look at each and drooling while dropping the picnic basket that they had. Lunch will wait, time for snacks!

The two ponies run for the candy house, arriving at the entrance. Twilight and Ben smiles as they knock on the door several times. After all, they want to ask permission from the owner before eating his or her house.

One of the little doors (shaped like a bump on a candy bar) opens up to show someone peeking out. Upon seeing Twilight and Ben, the little door is shut. The mare frowns as she knocks on the door impatiently while her love waits. Twilight taps one hoof while Ben whistles a bit.

Soon the big door opens revealing a nice alicorn by the name of Princess Victoria who smiles at the two. She show Twilight and Ben into her home where a huge table of desserts is at. The couple grins while sitting down. Victoria is allowing them to sample everything to their hearts' desire. Twilight finds it interesting that the alicorn looks like her sister in law Cadance.

And thus, Twilight and Ben begins eating the contents of the table, even Victoria was feeding her guests. The two kept eating until they were satisfied with their unhealthy meal. What a treat!

Soon Twilight and Ben begins feeling tired and a little overweight, yawning a bit. Victoria smiles as she picks the two ponies up. Perhaps the alicorn can bring them into a room where they could spend the night.

The two ponies walk with Cadance, not noticing all the skeletons that were upstairs. The alicorn opens up the door to reveal two beds and a room for the two. Twilight and Ben smiles to each other then jumps right into the beds to relax. After all, it has been a long day!

Twilight can open one eye as she saw Victoria smiling while closing the door.

Of course, if Twilight has suspects something, she would've done something by now. Outside, Victoria lock the door and smirks...evilly! The truth to be told that while she looks nice, the alicorn is also an evil witch who eats the flesh of any ponies who are foolish enough to come here...and now, Victoria has found two to eat!

Princess Victoria teleport to the kitchen and heads to the stove, using her magic to throw in candy-covered logs to start a fire; The villainess then performs a spell to begin then opens up a cookbook, sending out more ingredients to cook 'Roasted Ponies' as she put the pot into the oven.

Back in the 'guest' room, Twilight yawns as she got out of bed. The pony decides to open a window; it's getting stuffy in here. But the unicorn got a surprise upon opening the curtains: the windows are bricked up! Twilight rushes over to the door and tries to open it, but the thing's locked up!

Outside, Victoria, all ready, smirks evilly as she heads over to the room; Time for her dinner.

Back inside the room, Twilight tries to teleport out but something is blocking her magic. There's something wrong! The unicorn turns to the peaceful, sleeping Ben! Victoria is up to no good!

Even outside some more, Victoria is getting closer by the moment...

Twilight shakes Ben until he woke up. The mare explains to her love that something's wrong. Looking around, even the stallion gasps and nods in agreement. How weird that Victoria would lock them in here, bricked up the windows, prevent Twilight and her teleporting magic from working...even after letting them in; Very suspicious.

The couple decides to get out of here so Twilight charges at the door, ready to knock it down. But then the door opens up, revealing Princess Victoria who moves out of the way as the unicorn ends up hitting a wall.

Ben gallops out of the room and grabs Twilight as they make their escape from the witch. The two rush downstairs with Victoria's shadow looming. They run into a room and gasps. There's the evil alicorn using her magic (which works inside her home) on a bowl of candy canes. They came to life and attacks Twilight and Ben who gallop off to avoid them.

Twilight and Ben run down a multitude of stairs then they slid down some stationary candy, run up it and run into the hallway. The purple unicorn uses her magic (some which can work) and put him on her back, the two ponies continue running in hopes to escape Victoria.

The two screams as green candied moths came to life, flying out. Twilight carries Ben through and a door and slams it, causing the moths themselves to hit the door, breaking apart; Twilight and Ben themselves sigh in relief then look around to figure out which way to go next.

Twilight uses her magic to get a candle, pointing to the right. She and Ben gallops down the halls while dodging an obstacle of swinging and falling candy, going by a chair and lamp which was flooded with strawberry milk. Now the couple passed by some sort of death trap from Daring Doo, except this one involves candy.

Twilight and Ben land on a cake, which the cherry ball from the Daring Doo trap fell onto. This causes the icing, along with the two ponies to swim down the hall where more green moths appear, pestering the two. Twilight and Ben holds onto each other while the icing floods the house, until they arrive in a dark area.

Once the icing is gone, Twilight and Ben tries to trot off but the two finds themselves trapped in a steel cage. Victoria appears, smirking evilly. Now she got them! The alicorn goes over to the stove, ready to work on it.

Twilight and Ben looks for a way to escape as Victoria closes up the stove. Time for dinner; the good mare, feeling hopeless, holds onto Ben who hugs her right back; Looks like this is the end.

Victoria opens the cage and grabs Twilight, tearing her from Ben who could only watch horrified as the evil witch push the mare over to open the stove. Twilight sighs as she tries to open the stove...but no to prevail.

Victoria rolls her eyes in annoyance as she push Twilight aside to open the stove herself. The alicorn must do everything around here! Of course, unknown to her, Ben got out of the cage with an evil smirk. Princess Victoria has made one mistake like all evil witches: never leave someone's cage door open when they're on a roll.

Victoria frowns to Twilight as she opens the stove...but then Ben pushes the alicorn into the thing. Looks like this is it, but Victoria herself grabs Twilight to pull her into the stove. Ben gasps as she grabs his love by the hoof but got pulled into the stove itself as well.

Amazingly, the stove is a lot bigger on the inside than it was on the outside...it looks like the pits of Tartarus! Twilight helps Ben up as the two look for a way out, both of them saw some steps leading to the stove's entrance.

Twilight and Ben begins rushing over to the steps but then the fires acts wild, preventing their path. The two looks for another way as the ground begins spewing fire which grew bigger. The couple gasps as they saw that the fire is turning into Victoria!

Victoria roars as she tries to grab Twilight but the pony teleport out of the way in time. She may not leave the house this way but at least the unicorn can dodge. Ben finds himself cornered by the mad alicorn.

Twilight frowns as she uses her magic to get a lit up candy log, charging at Victoria and stuffing the thing into where the villainess was being controlled, stopping her from getting to Ben. Twilight then grabs Ben as the two go up the stairs, holding hooves while going upward.

Ben slips on one of the steps but Twilight helps him up as they get up towards the next path and rush right out the stove exit, shutting the door close. Twilight sighs in relief, the stove is locked up for good and Victoria is gone. The couple hugs one another, happy for their win.

Suddenly the stove door begins to shake like mad while starting to blow fire. Twilight and Ben yelps, deciding that now is a good time to get out of here. The two rush out of the house and heading right out of the Everfree Forest. They decided not to tell their friends what they themselves have experienced.

Even a mad alicorn who wants to eat ponies is too much for them to listen about!

--------------------------

With the cartoon done, the villains cheer on. Rainbow Chaos frowns while saying to Smaug, "Nice cartoon...though it's still the same as what the old club was doing!"

"I told you before, don't rush me! We will get to the villainous acts and we will." Smaug insists to Rainbow evilly. "Once we get the snacks and drinks out, we shall execute the heroes one by one."

"Oh yeah! Much better than the original movie."

"Don't break the fourth wall. You aren't Pinkie Pie."

---------------

As the villains celebrate the cartoon and preparations for the villainous acts, not one of them realize a group of heroes going into the club via a secret entrance.

"Fortunately Smaug doesn't know about this entrance." Twilight said in determination.

"So what are we going 'ta do?" Applejack asks Twilight in determination.

"Simple, I'm going to get the Discord Staff which Megan used, or will use, in the My Little Pony's Megan series. If that staff works for her, it shall work for anypony. I shall use to take down that creep and get our club back!"

"Right, we better go get it." Spike said as the group open the door to the basement and head downstairs. "We don't know how long before Smaug and his pals begin their evil deeds!"

Chapter 10: Taking the Club back

A while later, Twilight looks serious as she is now in her Nightmare Night costume of Star-Swirl the Bearded with her Mane Six pals fitting her in it. Pinkie gives the Discord Staff to her friend; the mare prepares herself to use it.

"All right, go get them, Twiley." Ben whispers as Twilight nods, heading off to get ready; It's time for the mare to take the club back.

---------------

"An now ladies and gentlemen, villains around, it's time for a special surprise I decided to put in for fun!" Discord spoke in announcing on stage of a special show for all the villains. "HIT IT BOYS!" The chimera pointed his index finger to signal the start of the show here.

Soon without warning, a curtain was there with a little bit of a jam music in the background. Once the curtain was called in, who should appear but Flim and Flam, and their dancing backup singers, the Raptorians, to make this an opening number for the crowd.

Chorus: Villains, we're the villains

The Flim-Flam brothers walked out and stopped to point out while their backup chorus followed their moves.

The villainous villains of pony villainery

The scene zooms back to get a good view of the entire club filled with villains as they watched the show of this dance number.

It's the night of nights for all the evil hordes

While the backup dancers danced, the Flim-Flam Brothers were in the spot light as they moved to the left and then spin jumped before dashing back to the right spot.

Flim: It's the Villains' Choice Awards

Flim held up his mike to sing this out and point a hoof out in telling the villains this with a smile.

There's Tirek, he's a mean one

As the others dance, Flim was in the spot light and pointed to tell who he mentioned was mean, even made a pose to show what he meant.

Tirek: Oh, stop!

Tirek responded by waving off to that comment in feeling a bit embarrassed by that while sitting near Chrysalis at their table.

Takes the Ponies, and just like me,
We'll chase them for fun!

Flim held up his hoof in proclaiming how much this villain and the mentioned one like to do things to the innocent ponies of Equestria.

Flam: Oh, watch them run!

Flam steps up next to his brother to happily state this out as if pretending to see some ponies actually running.

Flim: And Tadaka, what a cad!

We see Tadaka was laughing at seeing this display show, but then yelped wide-eyed in hearing the singer call this person out just now.

He's worst then worst, and in this verse,
I tell ya, he's just bad

Flim was stating out this villain's facts while his backup dancers danced as he proclaimed to the audience how 'bad' that last villain is.

Flam: Ow!

Flam popped up on stage to respond to that last part, in really feeling that villain being so bad, it hurts.

Flim: We got Somnambula

As Flim mention, Somnambula sat at a table before happily waving out to the audience of villains with a smile.

Somnambula's hot

Then on Flim's next intro, Somnambula smiled and looked away from being bashful to blush in being called such a thing, it was flattering to hear.

Of course Zeb's here!

Then Flim jumped up to spin and pointed from the stage of dancers in who else was here on his knees.

And Zeb brought the root beer!

And then Flim waved to the next villain, in which (Choice) sat by the table, held one of many root beers this villain brought to the club.

The Nightmare Moon, too, Victoria

Flim made a cat's paw from the first mentioned villain in the audience, before pointing to the next one being called Victoria.

Victoria: Ah-Choo!

And of course, Victoria had to cover the mouth when a sudden sneeze urge suddenly kicked in.

Flim: And the Flim-Flam Brothers, hey, that's us!

Then Flim held up to declare who was next to only point at himself in being mentioned among the villains.

Flam: Don't forget me, too, brother, dear!

And then of course, Flam came up to his brother to point out a fact of himself being involved to.

Chorus: Villains, we're the villains

Now the Flim-Flam Brothers and their dancing backup, the Raptorians, held the other's back, to leap and kick a leg out in singing this next verse.

The villainous villains of pony villainery

The performers repeated this stunt while happily singing this out to the crowd of villains.

It's the night of nights for all the evil hordes

And from all the tables, we can see many of all of Equestria's villains smiled to be glad to be here, everyone who hasn't reformed is here.

It's the Villains...

Now while the others danced, two lie on the ground in kneeling and the other two carried the brothers over them

Yeah, the Villains' Choice Awards!

Then once Flim and Flam were down, the carriers leaped off while those at the bottom lifted the ponies up and the two kneeling ones held out their hands on that last verse to really stretch it out.

Flim & Flam: Yeah!

Then the brothers Flim and Flam jumped off their supports to finish that number right there, which earned them both an applause before getting off stage.

While the crowd was applauding, hidden from the villains by a secret view of the action were the owners of the clubhouse.

"Ugh, I always hate those cheesy opening numbers! Especially when the villains do them," Phobos groans to look to his friends in pointing out how he hates such cheesy opening numbers like that.

"Shhh, Twilight's going to show up soon!" Pinkie Pie hushed her friend to not be so loud, for it's almost time.

Discord comments, "I wanted to perform a musical number. That never happened in the original film but that be fine too."

However, at the tables, while Nightmare Moon and Grogar were enjoying a drink, they saw something in the corner of their eyes, making them turn. The Tartarus stood up, looking as well.

In fact, all the other villains look shocked as they saw who is now on stage, Roclan gasps in shock, "What the-"

"Impossible!" Tadaka exclaims stunned.

"What," Nightmare Moon ask in shock and alarm.

"No way," Ed and Fred yelps in worry at who has arrived.

"We're doomed." Wilco sighs in worry and defeat.

Lorcan Hyde whines a bit, "Aww, playtime's over."

"Great!" Garble groans a bit in annoyance.

Indeed, Discord, Trixie, Chrysalis, Dr. Lizardo, Flim and Flam, Rainbow Chaos, Smaug and the rest of the villains saw who is now on stage: Twilight in her costume and with the Discord Staff. Smaug stood shocked as the mare gets the staff ready for battle.

Smaug frowns as he transforms into a giant winged serpent with feathered wings and a scorpion tail. Then the villain fires a blast at Twilight but to his annoyance the mare quick uses the Discord Staff to block the attack in time.

"All right, and this time, I brought my friends...all of them!" Twilight snaps as her Mane Six friends and the rest of the staff are here...along with the former prisoners of the kitchen! Phobos has broken them out during the preparations for the final battle.

"Boris, Flim-Flams, Crarity, Dogs, Rainbow Chaos, Psycho Pie, Lorcan Hyde," Smaug orders as each villain stand. "...deal with the resistance."

"Look out, Daddy! Here's sonny!" Lorcan Hyde exclaims sinisterly as the villains attack the resistance to Smaug's control.

Twilight fires a fireball right at Smaug who knocks it back with his tail. The mare fails to block it and has to dodge the attack while Rainbow flew up to avoid getting hit by it. Pinkie Pie comments to Ben, "I feel so sorry for you Ben. You're gonna have to face that monster in the final battle with Smaug in Ben Mareladdin."

Twilight fires another blast from the Discord Staff, throwing a curveball. Smaug swung but misses, causing it to hit Dr. Lizardo's hat that he's wearing, making the mad scientist lizard yelps in alarm.

Twilight fires another blast at Smaug who knocks it away from the mare who frowns at him for the miss. Both fighters stare sternly at one another. Looks like to be some sort of standoff.

Twilight fires another curveball at Smaug. This time, the villain punts his tail, hitting the ball and bounce it right back at the mare, knocking the staff right out of her hooves. Twilight looks horrified as it fell right near Ben's group and out of her reach.

"Yikes, the Discord Staff," Pinkie exclaims in worry.

"What now?" Ben asks in concern and worry.

"Why not give it back to her?" Rainbow assk as Pinkie picks up the Discord Staff. "It's not broken or anything!"

"Unfortunately, it's too late! The villains are getting closer!" Fluttershy gasps in worry. Sure enough, the heroes saw Smaug's main group getting closer to Twilight, about to finish her off.

Smaug taunt. "That was pathetic, Sparkle. A performance like that makes me wonder how you got to be Celestia's star pupil in the first place. Yes, I'll admit that my magic IS much more powerful than an average unicorn's, but still, I expected better from the bearer of the Element of Magic."

Just then, Ben's group heard a teleportation nearby and turns to see Golden Heart arriving. The alicorn quickly pass out six familiar items to the rest of the Mane Six, exclaiming, "Here, use these!"

"Golden Heart! You aren't locked up in the kitchen?" Rarity asks, surprised that Golden Heart is now here and not in the battle with the other villains as well as the heroes who were locked up in the kitchen.

"I arrived late and saw what happened. I had a feeling the villains would not follow the rules. So I got these for you."

Smaug smirks as he raises his tail at Twilight, preparing to finish her off once and for all, no delays, no cartoons, just death. However, Ben quickly exclaims, "Twilight, heads up!"

Ben quickly fires a spell, sending a fog that covers the whole room. Smaug's group looks confused as they are unable to see. Chrysalis demands angrily, "What is this?!"

"I can't see! Why can't I see," Dr. Lizardo exclaims angrily and annoyed.

"Ugh! I know what's going on! They pull this stunt on me in the 'Night Chaos' story!" Discord exclaims in alarm. Smaug snarls as he waves his tail to cast a spell to get rid of the fog. But to his and the villains' shock, the rest of the Mane Six are with Twilight...and with the Elements of Harmony now in their possession, with them glowing. "I knew it!"

"Time's up, Smaugsie," Pinkie exclaims happily as a familiar rainbow prepares to come out of the attack.

"The Elements," Some of Smaug's group gasps in horror as they, even Discord, ran off. Even they knew that they themselves are no match against the Elements of Harmony!

Smaug gasps as he saw his allies, even the villains fighting the other heroes, running off in terror. The main villain's eyes widen in terror as the Mane Six are about to unleash the attack on Smaug.

"Come on, Twilight. Isn't turning me into stone just for taking over a nightclub a little too harsh?" Smaug ask Twilight nervously.

Twilight just smirks as a familiar rainbow came out and flies right at Smaug. The villain can only scream in terror as the attack engulfs him, turning the evil unicorn into stone before he fell to the floor. The Mane Six glows as the rainbow splitting in two and forming a sphere that expanded all over the club.

Everyone soon applauds as the club changes back to normal, title and all. The House of Pony is now Twilight and friends' once more.

As the Mane Six lands on the floor in victory, Rainbow comments, "Oh yeah; we kick flank once more!"

Twilight comment, "Okay, we got the club back. Now, what do we do with the defeated villains? Obviously, we can't let this go unpunished, but the death penalty seems a little extreme since nopony actually died or even got seriously hurt. Banning them from the club and having the villains all do dungeon time seems closer to fair except that most of these villains are already used to going to the dungeon on a regular basis anyway and, if they're banned from the club, they'll just have more freedom to pursue their assorted schemes while WE'RE too pre-occupied to stop them. So the question remains, what would be an appropriate punishment?"

"I got one idea." Spike remarks with a smirk. "Let's leave Smaug in the front hall for a month as a reminder for any villain who tries this stunt again. Maybe then they will decide to behave and only do evil tricks outside the club from now on."

"Hmmm, nice idea, Spike."

------------

With the battle now over, the guests, no longer trapped in the kitchen and winning the battle, and Golden Heart cheers as Twilight and her friends got back to work, finishing the show up.

Ben came over and kisses Twilight on the cheek, saying, "You're the only leader of this club, Twiley!"

"That's nothing, just making sure that we all have one great Nightmare Night!" Twilight exclaims with a smile. "You were right about your instincts earlier, Ben. Perhaps next time, I will listen."

"BOOO," Rainbow booms as she reappears wearing her Shadowbolts outfit, making everyone jump as she flew between Twilight and Ben; The Pegasus pony is still trying to scare folks.

"Whoa! Good costume...but Pinkie got a better one that beats you to it!"

Sure enough, the audience laughs as we see Pinkie wearing a Smaug costume, laughing while waving to the crowd. Her own costume is apparently way more scarier than Rainbow's.

"Awww horse apples," Rainbow groans in annoyance. This just isn't her night!

Author's Notes:

Whatcha guys think? Hope you guys enjoy this fic as I did working on it. Must be one of my best works ever; as for any suggestions if I were to fanmake the 'House of Mouse' series with MLP...that's a yes for the future. But until next time, Happy Nightmare Night (Halloween to us Earthlings); Read, review and suggest!

The song at the beginning came from the Codename: Kids Next Door episode 'Operation AWARDS'. If anyone knows where I can find the song (the one that was made with different pictures of villains from other shows, movies, etc. doesn't count) from the actual episode, be sure to tell me.

Smaug's monster form will be in 'Ben Mareladdin'.

Rainbow Dash's Shadowbolts outfit, along with Twilight's Star-Swirl the Bearded, is from the Nightmare Night episode from Season 2.
