A/N: Bad news: too much is going on in my life so I won't be able to update much.

Also, Lermanator, I already have a story line planned out, so the CMC won't be in the story. :( Sorry. Maybe someone could make a story where they go dimension-hopping and try to earn their cutie marks by ghost-fighting.


"This is not good. This is not good!" Twilight started pacing back and forth, panic written on her face. "Spike just used our way back! And we have no idea where to find him!" She stomped her hoof in frustration. "How stupid can I be for not thinking about Spike?!"

"You're not stupid," Rainbow Dash told her. "You're an egghead."

Twilight Sparkle frowned. "Gee, thanks," she muttered sarcastically.

"Uh... who's Spike?" Pac asked.

The princess opened her mouth to reply, but Pinkie Pie cut in. "He's the most adorablest, cutest, purplest, green-spikedest baby dragon EVER! And he has a crush on Rarity!" Rarity blushed as her friend mentioned that. It was a bit embarrassing an eight-year-old dragon liked a sixteen-year-old unicorn like her.

Pac, Cylli, and Spiral looked at them confused. "That's...weird," Spiral said at last, breaking the silence.

Before anyone could respond, Fluttershy shrieked in one of her loudest voices, "GHOSTS!" She pointed her hoof towards the sky, and sure enough, it was filled with ghouls of different colors.

"Looks like another ghost attack," Pac-man told them.

Applejack blinked. "Wait, whadya mean 'anuther ghost attack'?"

As they hopped on their hoverboards and Spiral and Cylli grabbed their plasma-sucking cannons, Cylindria responded, "In Pac-world, we battle the ghost army of Lord Betrayous, who tries to take over."

"It makes sense," Spiral added, "especially since his brother is the Prez himself. That, and the Netherworld is one of the worst places to live."

Fluttershy crouched low to the ground, shaking in fear. "W-why ghosts?" she asked. "Why couldn't it have been hungry little bunny rabbits who wanted a snack?"

Pulling out his yellow berry dispenser, Pac exclaimed, "Time to power up!" He gobbled up a green berry and smiled. He was no longer a yellow orb, but a green Pac-worlder with chameleon powers. He soared through the air, stretching out his now even longer tongue, snatching ghosts ten at a time.

Pinkie Pie watched in amazement at Pac, marveling his skills. Her jaw dropped to the ground as she stared at the flying chameleon. "I wanna try! I wanna try!" she cried, bouncing up and down with excitement. She hopped over to where Pac-man dropped the berry dispenser, and eyed the colorful berries hungrily.


Cylindria popped a berry in her mouth, and immediately started floating up in the air. "Not again!" she exclaimed with disappointment. Even though she had gotten used to it, it was still not her favorite. She sighed. Oh well, not everything can go your way.

Spiral tossed a berry in the air and caught in his mouth and on instinct, threw kicks and chopped the air. "Aw, yeah! Kung-fu berry! Awesome!" Both Spiral and Cylindria used their powers to fight ghosts, though they had to resort to their plasma-sucking cannons when feeling lazy.

As Cylli was floating away from a gang of ghosts on her tail, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Pinkie Pie munching on a berry. "No, Pinkie!" she cried out. "That might not be safe for you guys!" She was paying so much attention to the pony, she forgot about herself, and was knocked to the ground. Her berry wore off as she fell, landing on the concrete hard. "Ow." Seeing the ghosts above her, she blasted her plasma-sucking cannon.

Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie started turning a shade of light blue, and her hair became ice. "Whoa, Pinkie, that's so AWESOME!" Rainbow yelled in excitement.

Rarity eyed the now blue pony in disgust. "It's absolutely horrid if you ask me!" she commented. "I mean, just blue? There's no other color! And that ice, terribly sculpted. Wouldn't call that a tail or a mane."

"Come on, Rarity!" Pinkie exclaimed. "It's so cool if you ask me!" Then, she burst into a laughing fit, giggling at her own pun. After laughing, she tested her new powers that she felt in herself. "Let it go! Let it go!" she sang, shooting the ghosts coming right at her.

The ghosts were frozen in blocks of ice. Pac came down and munched on them. "Thanks, Pinkie!" he said, licking his lips.

"No problem, Paccy!" Pinkie replied as the berry wore off. Pac groaned in response.

As Pac continued fighting the ghosts, Pinkie thought about him eating those ghosts. She watched as he burped up their eyeballs. The others saw it too, and four of them gagged while Rarity fainted. This gave Pinkie an idea, one she thought was one of the greatestestest.

She bounced towards two red ghosts who were headed her direction. They looked pretty menacing as they advanced towards her. Before they could react, she gulped them down. "Mmm, strawberry jelly!" she exclaimed before burping their eyeballs.

"It's not fair!" one pair of eyeballs complained as they floated off and the rest retreated.

"She's not even yellow!" responded the other.

"PINKIE!" Twilight cried. She ran over to examine her party-loving friend. She studied Pinkie's body, searching for any strange symptoms. "Do you feel cold? Or hot? Are you getting any cramps in any place in your body? Does your stomach feel alright? Feeling nauseous at all? Any urge to vomit? Or even dia-"

"Calm down, Twily Wily!" Pinkie smiled. "I'm fine!"

"Oh good," Twilight sighed in relief, then yelled, "WHAT THE HAY WERE YOU THINKING!? WERE YOU CRAZY, EATING THOSE GHOSTS!?" Everyone cringed. Twilight Sparkle was scary when she released her anger.

Pinkie blinked. "Pac was doing it, so I thought, 'Why don't I do it?' So I did!"

"PAC IS DIFFERENT! WE'RE PONIES! HOW COULD YOU KNOW THAT THE GHOSTS WOULDN'T MAKE YOU SICK?! HECK, YOU BURPED UP EYEBALLS! WE DON'T DO THAT! IT MIGHT NOT BE SAFE FOR US!" Twilight panted in rage, then took long, deep breaths.

"I'm sorry," she told Pinkie once she was no longer angry. "It's just- it's just I was worried for you, and was afraid something could happen." She hugged Pinkie. "Please don't do that again," she muttered.

"Yay, hugsies!" Pinkie cheered, hugging her friend back.

The touching moment was ruined by a screaming Fluttershy as four more ghosts suddenly appeared from behind a sign. The other five braced themselves for a fight.

"Oh, relax guys!" Pac-man told them. "These four are our friends!"

"Wait, lemme get this straight. Yer friends with ghosts, but ya'll fight 'em as well?" Applejack asked.

"True dat!" Spiral confirmed.

"What's with the horses?" the blue ghost asked.

"Ignore them, Inky, they don't matter," the pink ghost told him. She floated up to Pac. "Oh, Paccums, it's just awful!"

"Oh Paccums, it's just awful!" Rainbow Dash mimicked, angering her.

"Hey!" The pink ghost made a fist. "Just who do you think you are, Missy?!" She glared. Rainbow glared back.

"Who do you think you are, thinking we don't matter, huh?" she snapped.

Applejack tugged the tail of the tomboy pegasus. "No need tah get in a 'ight now, Raingow Gah!" she said through a mouthful of hair.

"Wow, Rainbow, your impression of Pinky is good!" Pac exclaimed.

"Dashie sounds nothing like me!" Pinkie replied with confusion.

"No, not you, Pinkie, that Pinky!" He pointed to the ghost.

"Duh, that's because they have the same voice actress! Isn't it obvious?" She ignored the puzzled looks of her friends and gasped. "You're name is Pinky, too?!"

She went up to the pink ghost and shook its hand. "Hi, Pinky, I'm Pinkie Pie, but you can call me Pinkie. It's short for Pinkamena Diane Pie! It's super long, so my friends call me Pinkie Pie! And because you're friends with Paccy, you're my friend, too! Because friends of my friend are my friends! Is your name short for anything? Maybe Pinkerella? Ooh, ooh, or Pinkalicious! What about Pinky Dinky Doo? It could also be-"

"Could someone shut her up!" Pinky yelled. She pulled back her arm, which left some ghost goo on Pinkie's hoof.

Pinkie licked her hoof. "Mmm, raspberry!

"What are you guys' names?" She hopped up to the other three ghosts.

"I'm Blinky!"

"I'm Inky! And cooler than that guy." He motioned to the red ghost, who scowled at him.

"I'm Clyde."

(Let's skip Pinkie's really long introduction to her friends.)

Pinkie Pie gasped in a huge breath of air after all that fast talking.

"Well, what were you guys going to tell us? Before Pinkie was blabbing," Spiral asked.

"What? Oh, yeah! Oh, Paccums, it's just awful! Lord Betrayous is using a strange, yet so cute, dragon not from the Nether to destroy Pacworld!"

"Wait, did you say a dragon?" Twilight asked. "Did you catch his name at all?"

Pinky thought for a bit. "He said his name was, um, Spines? I don't remember." She shrugged.

"It's Spike!" Twilight gasped. She relaxed. "Whew, at least we know where he is."

"Problem is, Betrayous is going to use him to take over Pacworld," Cylindria pointed out.

"Um, Spike isn't that strong, um because he's, you know, a baby," Fluttershy countered.

"Remember the time greed took him over?" Twilight reminded her.

"Oh." Nopony really liked to think about that. It was still hard to believe little Spike was ever that menacing!

"If anything like that happens, we're probably doomed."


Sorry that I won't update too often. I seriously wish I didn't have too much to do.
