It was a nice fall day in ponyville. The mane six: Applejack, Pinky Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle were all getting excited for the halloween party at Pinkies house and were helping her out with different things for the party, Applejack was baking some baked goods in Pinkys kitchen, Fluttershy was helping Rarity with costumes for each of them as well as the animal friends, and Rainbow Dash was helping set up games for the night, Twilight was helping out with house chores along with Pinky. Everyone was getting excited for halloween.

A few days before the halloween party, Twilight was feeling a little lightheaded, she thought to herself ok, i should probably lay down for a few minutes, suddenly a sudden cough came out of her, and she thought oh this can't be good. Applejack was picking apples on her farm and she decided to give twilight a call and see if Twilight wanted to hang out later, unfortunately during the phone call, Twilight told applejack, " I don't think i'll be able to come by, i woke up not feeling well this morning, applejack packed up a small bag with some apple and carrot soup and some of her homemade muffins and a few days worth of clothes. When Applejack was on the way out, Applebloom tried to talk to her, she was asking applejack, why are you leaving so soon, Applejack explained to Applebloom she was going to see a sick friend and will be there at least a few days, and she left Applebloom to watch the house while she was gone. After saying that, Applejack was on her way to the train station.

A few hours later, Applejack arrived at Canterlot castle where twilight was taking it easy, Applejack was welcomed at the door by Princess Luna and she told her what room Twilight was in, when she arrived in the room she saw Twilight sleeping on the bed and she decided to try to wake her up to say hello. Applejack left the soup and muffins on the side table next to the bed in case Twilight got hungry later and decided to see what could happen, Luna said Twilight would be too sick to go to the halloween party and the cold was pretty bad and to just let her rest for a few days. Applejack asked if they needed anything done around the house, Luna said they were out of medicine and forgot to get groceries so applejack went to the nearby mart to take care of both of those things. By the time Applejack got back, Twilight called for a glass of water to clear her throat and asked when did you arrive. Applejack said a few hours ago and i was helping luna with some things while waiting for you to wake up. Twilight told Applejack i feel bad that i have to miss out on Pinkys halloween party and that you took the time off to miss it as well. Applejack explained, listen its okay, I told applebloom before i came and she told rainbow dash and rainbow dash is taking care of it.

A few hours later, Pinky was waiting to start the festivities, and she noticed that two of her friends were missing. Rainbow Dash got word from Applebloom that Applejack had to go to Canterlot because Twilight had come down with a bad cold, and both of them would miss the party, so they just started having fun without them.
