They screamed into the darkness.

"Let's get outta here!" Baby Firefly yelled above the din.

They all ran out into the deserted hallway.

"Go outside," Graffiti commanded, flicking her wraith cloak behind her.

They trotted through the doors. To Graffiti's surprise, the campus was empty.

"What??" Baby Ribbon gasped. "Where is everypony?"

"I'm creeped out," Graffiti shivered. "The intercom was working. They should've heard me."

Suddenly, an odd shape ran out the doors.

It was Baby Paws. "I lost you guys!" He gasped. "Couldn't find you!"

Baby Jedi walked up, with Lady Minty in front of her.

"I don't like this," Jedi murmured to Graffiti. "I feel --"

"We've gotta search for the others! My mama's in there!" Sobbed Baby Medley.

"My mom and little sis are in there!" Baby Firefly called out. "Not like I really care 'bout my li'l sis but..."

"That's mean!" Baby Medley cried.

"Oh, you hush up, Meddy." Hissed Baby Firefly.

"Now, children," Lady Minty said. "Stay out here; I'll go back in and look for the others."

She trotted back in. Baby Peach Blossom's fragile-looking legs shook.

"I'm scared."

Graffiti jumped. She hadn't noticed the young flutter. She checked Baby Firefly's watch a while after Lady Minty had gone back inside. Five minutes had passed.

"I wonder what's up," Graffiti thought.

After it had been fifteen minutes, Baby Jedi sighed. "That's it," She declared. "I'm going in there."

"Lady Minty said to wait!" Baby Medley said. "She may be in danger. Something doesn't feel right. I'm going in to try to find her." Baby Jedi turned to run.

"Wait!" Graffiti called.

Baby Jedi turned.

"I should come too," Baby Graffiti said. "It's MY Halloween Party, so it's my fault so many ponies are lost in the school."

"I'm going if you are," Baby Ribbon declared, stepping up.

Jedi nodded. "Then let's go."

They ran for the doors and into the school. It was still pitch black, and hard to see.

"We gotta have some light." Graffiti said.

"We could use our horns," Baby Ribbon suggested.

"I don't want you two just use up all your power while I'm doing nothing."

"I can always use my lightsaber," Baby Jedi ventured.

There was a snap hiss, and the white blue blade came up.

"Just don't cut into anybody or anything." Baby Graffiti warned.

She saw Baby Jedi nod. "I won't," She grinned.

They looked everywhere, in the gym, the detention room, even the janitor's two closets. It seemed like everyone had vanished into thin air. Something fell behind them. The three whipped around. It was a cauldron.

"I can't do this," Came Baby Ribbon's voice. "I dunno why. I just can't."

"We've got to," Baby Graffiti said, determined. "Come on, Ribbi. You can make it."

Baby Ribbon smiled. "'Course I can. I can and I will make it."

Graffiti saw Jedi smiling. Her face was illuminated by her saber blade. She'd never seen her smile before. It was kinda surprising to see one now.

"Well then," Jedi said. "How 'bout we get a move on then?"

"Right." Ribbon said.

"Right." Graffiti said.

They ran off to search.

After 20 minutes, they found Baby Leaper and Baby Ribbs.

"I'm so glad to see you, sis!" Cried out Ribbs.

"Put a sock in it," Ribbon commanded. "We've still gotta find Neville."

They found the second brother, identical to Ribbs. Neville hopped up to join them. They suddenly ran into Lady Minty and a whole parade of ponies. Afterwards, they headed outside and decided to go trick-or-treating.

*Graffiti's*Diary*

10/31/01

Kinda hectic. Halloween Party got ruined -- obviously by a ghost. After trick-or-treating, Jedi told me that what she had felt wrong was the spirit of a restless soul. I just hope that restless soul doesn't try to make me fail my next math test! BG

The End ... or is it?
