"Well, class I have some bad news. I'm afraid the rumors we've all been hearing all around the school for the past several weeks are true. The school will be shutting down and it's doors will be closed as of tonight. However, there's a very nice school across town that you all will be attending from now on," Miss Cheerilee informed her class as she stood behind her desk.
"What!? No way?! No Fair! What are we gonna do," the class protested unhappily.
"Why is the school closing down? Miss. Cheerilee," one of the students asked from his seat.
"Well, I'm afraid it's because the school is running out of funding and it has not choice but to close up. Now, that's it's the last day that we'll be all together. What do you say we all go outside and have some fun," the school teacher said smiling at her classes.
"Can we play baseball," one of her students asked raising his hand.
"That's a possibility," Miss. Cheerilee replied cheerfully.
It was a cool day in fall.
"Wow. So, I can't believe the school is really shutting down forever," Sweetie Belle sighed as she sat on the grass talking with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo and wondered how she would manage at the new school that she would soon be attending while watching her breath hanging in the cool air.
"It's sad really. There so much more that I wanted to do here at our school. What I wouldn't give for just one more night that I could spend here," lamented Scootaloo who was sitting next to Sweetie Belle.
"Well, I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to be here in the school tonight," Pipsqueak interjected as he walked up to the girls. For you see the real reason that the school is closing is because there's a ghost that's been haunting the place. People say that the ghost is a long-lost spirit of a former student who use to attend our school long ago. They say he passed away when he was about our age because on one very cold winter evening he spent the entire night sitting alone on the swings in the playground staring at the moon until he died from hypothermia," Pipsqueak went on to explain.
"Really there's a ghost here in the school," Scootaloo gasped in wide eyed panic!
Scootaloo was afraid of ghost.
"Oh. Pipsqueak! Don't be silly. There no such thing as ghost," Sweetie Belle giggled.
One of Pipsqueak's friends then called to him from across the yard and he ran off to see what they wanted.
"Wow! That sounds so cool! I've read a lot of spooky books about ghost! What do you girls go say we all come here to the school later on tonight and try and see this ghost for our self's," Apple Bloom exclaimed.
"Yeah! I'm in," Responded Sweetie Belle.
"No Way! It's just too scary," Cried out Scootaloo.
"Oh. Come on Scootaloo. It might be fun," Apple Bloom tried to convince her friend.
It took the girls a few minutes to try and talk Scootaloo into coming with them but they finally managed it.
