Hey every pony! It's me again!
So just a quick note I want to go over that I've been asked in the reviews and in private messages.
Sorry every pony, but no. I'm not spellchecking these. I'm making these daily, or by-daily if it gets to be a little too much, so it's already too hard to work on. But I'll try to work on that best I can as I'm writing these.
Still though, these stories are all in good fun. And while they aren't super-cool-extreme-awesomaizing...Or however it goes, I still think it's something nice for me to try and do with all of you. Besides, it's a good thing to be doing together! You know, because all of you are the ones who keep on sending in the ideas!
Speaking of ideas, let's get right on into this chapter! If you know the Disney Movie: Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, then this should be pretty easy to pick up on. And even if you only know some parts of it, or even just a few music videos from YouTube, it should feel right at home! Hope you all enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I don't own MLP, and I didn't come up with the story ideas. That belongs to Hasbro and the reviewers respectively. All I do own is Blitz and... The story name, I guess...
Fluttershy's POV
"Oh Angel Bunny! Where did you run off to this time?!" I asked in fear as I tried to chase after him inside the Everfree Forest. It was a part of the forest that I hadn't gone into before though. It was nowhere near Zecora's hut, or the Manticore's cave. It was all brand new to me. It seemed like a small trail with tall thin trees. Trees that didn't have many leaves either, so it looked like it was autumn time now. And with Nightmare Night coming soon, I guess that even some parts of the Everfree Forest followed the seasons scheduled in Equestria.
So I kept going down the small trail that was in the middle of all the thin autumn trees. Too scared to go into the thicker part of the forest. And knowing Angel, he didn't prefer the thicker parts of the forest either. He liked to have plenty of space to hop around whenever we left the cottage.
"Creeeeeeeeeeeeeek..." I heard slowly, up ahead where there was a few thick bushes in a small, circular clearing. I shivered a little at just what it was, but knew that Angel was still in danger if he wasn't with me. So I tried to be strong and walked forwards into the clearing, looking around. And after getting a good look at the bushes, I realized something.
The bushes in this clearing weren't like any other bush. They were about as big as a bigger sized pony, like Big Mac for instance, and weren't made of leaves either. They were made of wood like a tree. The sides had a few leaves growing out the sides and some at the top, but that was it. Only, that wasn't what was so different about these bushes. Each one had some kind of picture on it. One with a Hearth's Warming Eve tree on it, a different one with a Hearts and Hooves Day heart on it, and another with an Easter egg.
There were all these bushes. Each one of these pictures having what looked like a doorknob on each of them. But the only one that had opened, was the one that was the spookiest. It was a pumpkin with a terrifying face on it. And it was staring right at me. "Oh Angel...Why couldn't you go in the Easter door..." I said, shivering at the sight of what had to be the Nightmare Night door.
"Creeeeeeeeeeeeeek...SLAM!" The door then slammed shut, the nose in the middle turning right back in the way it should be. The nose being the doorknob for this one.
"Oh..." I said, taking a few steps back from the door. "Maybe I should get one of the others..." I said, looking back towards the way I came. Afraid of going into the door. "But...If I don't go in there now, who knows what could be happening to Angel! Oh my..." I said, torn between the two choices.
Of course, I knew that I had to go through and after Angel Bunny. If I didn't go now, then I might never find him. Before the door shut, I saw nothing but darkness. Meaning that it had to have gone somewhere. And if it was a deep dark pit then Angel might be falling down it right now and-
"No!" I yelled out, getting a hold of my nerves. Angel was in too much danger to waste any time getting the others. "Hold on Angel, I'm coming!" I said, flying over to the door and turning the nose. Unlocking it and opening it wide so I could fly right in.
But the moment it opened, a strong and powerful gust of wind started to pull me in. Small little pumpkin heads and-small severed heads! "AHHHHHHHH!..." I kept screaming as I fell through the dark pit. Not able to stop and fly back up to the doorway where I came. The gust of wind was much too strong. Maybe even too strong for some pony like Rainbow to fight.
As I started free falling for even longer, I could feel a tingling sensation throughout my whole body as I started calming down. Feeling as if I was slipping into unconsciousness, but still awake. It was mostly in my wings, but I could feel it spreading every where. All over my coat, it felt like a balloon was going over it when it was filled with static shock. Every hair on my mane and tail felt like it was being pulled as tight as possible. My wings felt like each and every feather had been pulled out one at a time. It all hurt just as much as you'd suspect but...I didn't feel like screaming anymore. In fact, I didn't even flinch as each and every problem started to hurt more and more. I felt completely relaxed now. Every worry in my mind started to feel as if it wasn't a big deal:
Where I was going?! I'll be fine.
What was happening to me?! I'm still okay aren't I?
Will I be able to get out and see my friends again?! I'm sure Princess Celestia would find a way.
Angel Bunny in danger?! He was a tough little guy. He'll be fine until I find him.
No matter what problem I thought up, it faded away. Faded away as if it was nothing. The changes were still going on though. Small objects had been weaved into my mane and tail. And while I couldn't see what they were, I couldn't help but get a little scared at the thought of them. Same with my wings. I was able to figure out that all the cream colored feathers had been plucked out and replaced with something smoother. They were still wings, but... Different.
With all of these changes going on, plus the relaxed state I was in. I didn't notice that I started to fall towards a light. Growing brighter and brighter as I approached it. And soon enough, I was blinded by it as I wen threw. Appearing in front of a bush in the middle of a forest. Only...It wasn't Everfree Forest anymore.
"Huh..." I said, starting to wake up completely now. And as I looked around, I saw that everything was so dark and...dried up. Like everything was dead... "Where am I?..." I asked, starting to get up. But as I did, a lock of my mane fell in front of my eyes. Along with- "What's this?..." I asked, inspecting the small stick like object weaved into my mane. It was the size of a twig and pure white. Just like a...
"Is...I-is this a bone?!" I asked to no pony at all, terrified about what was in my mane. Why was a small little innocent creature's bone weaved into my mane?!
I quickly checked the rest of my mane and tail, seeing that it was all weaved with small bones too! I had to get these out of my mane before any pony or creature sees me with- "Angel Bunny!" I called out, seeing him a little further ahead of me. I ran as quickly as I could over to him, wanting to make sure he was okay.
"Oh Angel! I'm so glad you're..." As I reached down to pick him up though, anxious to get out of this nightmare, my hoof went right through him as if he wasn't even there! "What?! A-Angel, wake up! Are you okay?!" I asked, trying to call out to him. I didn't want to touch him again in fear that my hoof would go right through him.
To answer me, he shook his head as he started to wake up. And in just a few seconds, he jumped up- into the air?!
I gasped as I saw all of him, completely taken back by what he looked like. "Angel! You're...You're...A ghost!" I shrieked out, even more scared than before! It was all so scary to me! I was brought through that door in the wooden bush, my mane and tail had animal bones weaved into them, and Angel was a ghost! "We need to get back to Ponyville and see Twilight right away! Before anything else hap-" "BARK!" "pens?..." I concluded, seeing another figure off in the distance. A small little creature that looked like a ghost like Angel. Except, the only thing I could make out was that it had a glowing light on its nose.
I hummed in thought as I tried to get a good look at the creature, trying to see just who it was. But instead, it floated over towards us. And once it got close enough, it looked at us both. "It's a dog..." I said to myself, looking at him. He looked like he was tame and friendly, so he had to have belonged to some pony. "Excuse me, but can you help tell us where we are?" I asked it. I wanted to make sure we were safe.
He then nodded and looked off in a certain direction, directing us to go that way. "Oh! I'm sorry little guy, but we can't go." I told him carefully. "You see, we're not from here and we need to get back to our town Ponyville." I told him, letting him know what had happened up to now.
But he didn't seem to falter as he found another way of taking us where he was pointing to. He then quickly floated over to Angel and caught him in his mouth, careful not to hurt him. He then flew off towards the town, bringing Angel along with him.
"Wait! Please come back!" I called out, getting my wings ready to fly after them. But as I did, I realized something else. My wings had changed entirely!
They were no longer normal feathered pegasus wings anymore. Instead, they were bat wings! They were the same normal color as the rest of my coat, but bat wings nonetheless... Except my coat wasn't the same either! It went from a light pale color, to a darkish pale color. It wasn't the same as with the Discord situation so long ago, but it was still spooky.
Either way, I could still move my wings. So not wanting to get too far behind, I started flying after them. Worried about just where the ghost dog was trying to take us. And off in the distance, I already saw it. It was a town. And it was pretty creepy too. It was all very dark and gloomy, full of so many creepy sights like spiked fences, a green fountain, and a- guillotine...
As I stared at the guillotine in fear, I saw the small ghostly dog fly right by the entrance. Angel in his mouth trying to get out. I gulped in fear, knowing that I had to follow them. So with great caution, I started to lower myself to the ground. Knowing that I didn't want to see the whole town from up above. But as I landed, it sounded as if some music started playing. No pony else was in the town yet, so I was kind of nervous about where the sound had come from. And before I could question it, the music got louder as I walked inside the town under the gate.
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
"Huh?..." I asked, hearing voices start to sing along to the music.
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
"H-Halloween?" I asked the voices, hiding behind part of my mane to keep from meeting whoever was speaking eye to eye. But when a small bone hung in front of my face, I jumped back in shock and beside that spiked fence that was on top of a stone wall.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
"AH!" I yelled out as four pumpkins fell from the sky. Each falling onto its own spike and getting caught on it. I started running from the fence. Not wanting to meet whoever dropped those pumpkins.
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
"D-d-die?!" I asked, leaning up against the fountain that was in the middle. At that moment, I saw a bunch of scary looking ghosts come through another gate that led into this town. Singing along to the music. One of them then flew over to me and startled me. Following me as I took flight and started flying into a window.
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
The ghost then left through the roof of the house I flew into. I then landed next to a bed, trying to catch my heart since it felt like it was about to jump out of my chest. But before I could calm down, I heard a voice singing from underneath the bed I was standing next to.
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
At that moment, I didn't waste any time as I burst threw the door that led to that room and flew down the stairway. Where a scary monster jumped out from under the stairs. Coming towards me as it sang.
I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
"S-stay back!" I yelled out, running forward towards the front door to run away from him. But as soon as I made my way through the front door, I came to a stop as four other creatures were starting to come out of their home.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
As the four vampires came out of their home and started flying up into the air, I quickly jumped away before they could see. Hiding behind a small odd looking carriage where a small creature was standing on top of. While he did that, I tried to quietly tiptoe away from all of them.
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
After getting away, I found a regular cat walking around So before any of them could see me, I quickly made my way over to it and looked at him with relief, starting to calm down quickly.
Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll...
Suddenly, the trashcan lid shot up. Revealing a monster inside of it. Next, a wolf-like creature burst from the wall and scared me onto the odd cover on the ground in front of them. Which then got lifted into the air with another monster under it.
Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, slimy green
Before they could catch me, I flew up in the air to avoid them. Only, one of the bones in my mane got caught on the end of a broomstick of a witch. And as the two witches flew around, I was dragged around with them. Forced to follow them all around this creepy town.
Aren't you scared?
"YES!" I yelled out in answer, but they didn't hear me at the speed they were going and just kept singing.
Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
After unsnagging my mane from the broom, I tried to fly towards a ground towards a tree. But right as I landed, it came to life and started walking towards me. Scaring me to the ground. Odd looking skeletons being hung by the necks from it.
Everybody scream, everbody scream
In our town of Halloween!
I did just as the tree commanded and started screaming as I fumbled to my hooves, running to the other side of the plaza in this town. Before sliding to a halt in front of a monster that was dressed as a clown on a unicycle.
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace
"EEK!" I screamed out once again, scared of what I just saw. He was gone, and I backed up into a wall. Afraid of just where he had gone.
I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair
I held my mane still after the voice called out to me, sounding as if it was right beside my ears. I didn't say anything though as I looked up into the sky to look away from all the monsters, only to see a shadow in the moon. "Princess Luna?!" I asked, hoping I was right.
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
Unfortunately, it wasn't her. Instead, it was multiple bats that were gathered up in the moonlight. It wasn't that scary compared to everything else though. If anything, it was a little inviting to me. It reminded me of the bats I take care of back in Ponyville. Sadly, I couldn't enjoy that moment for long as the rest of the gates started to open. Monsters of all kinds flooding in.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!
Before any of them could notice me, I saw a gate that none of them were coming out of. So I started to make my way over there as I hid in the shadows. Not wanting to be found. As I did though, I saw a family playing by that dreadful guillotine.
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween
They actually looked rather calm and family-oriented. They didn't seem all that mean either just like they said. And as they marched towards the other monsters, they looked excited for something. And at the large group, I saw that small creature on the carriage again. And now, I noticed that he had on a ribbon that said mayor. He looked pretty happy and friendly too.
In this town
Don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
The mayor then started to move aside with his carriage as a creature with an...Axe...in his head... Started to pull what looked like a pony made out of hay and a scarecrow on top of it. With all the torches in their claws and such, shouldn't they be afraid of burning it though?
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everyone scream
Wont' ya please make way for a very special guy
Suddenly, the scarecrow came to life, making me flinch and trip on a stone step that was in front of the gate I was trying to get to. Luckily, none of them noticed as they kept chanting. The living scarecrow now dancing around on the straw horse while it was on fire. Making the monsters around him flinch in fear. As well as make me shiver in fear, despite how far away I was.
Our man Jack is King of the Pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now!
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
At that moment, the flaming scarecrow jumped off of the straw horse and into the fountain. Going in completely as if the fountain was extremely deep. That's when they looked into the fountain with amazement.
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
That's when the scarecrow came out. Only, now it wasn't a scarecrow anymore. Instead, it was what looked like a very tall skeleton in a black vertical-stripped suit. Complete with a bowtie that looked like a bat itself. He didn't look all that scary either. Well, compared to the other terrifying monsters in the group. In fact, he even looked a little friendly.
La la la la-la la
La la la la-la la
La la la la-la la
La la-WEEE!
As soon as they finished the song, they started to cheer happily. All of them congratulating one another on how 'scary' and 'horrible' it was.
"Yes, I do believe that it was more spirited than any other before!" The mayor of them all added. "Great Halloween everybody!" They all then cheered a little more. None of them noticing me. "Now if there are no objections, I believe it's time to give out the awards!"
"Oh, I just remembered!" I said to myself. "I need to find Angel and get back to Ponyville. They'll be looking for me soon..." I told them taking an invitation out of my pocket. As I looked at it, I saw the work Pinkie put into it. The invitation telling me to come to a party at Twilight's Tree House for just the eight of us on Nightmare Night tomorrow. All the girls, me, Blitz, and Spike. Pinkie said to wear 'spookerific' costumes and bring tons of candy.
Still, maybe one of the more friendlier monsters could help me find Angel. I don't think they would think different of me since that bush made me appear like a monster myself. Besides, if they were friendly, that meant that they wouldn't hurt any pony right?
"The first award goes to the vampire with the most blood drained at the sixteenth..." The mayor said, making me go wide-eyed. "Oh! It seems that we have a tie once again this year! Well I guess we'll continue with the tie-breaker! Can we have two living volunteers with blood step up?! We'll need victims for the five second blood draining lightning round!"
"Oh my! I need to hurry!" I said, running off towards the gate to try and look for Angel by myself. Not even stopping after dropping the invitation Pinkie had given to me. I just kept on running until I was a good distance away from the town of monsters.
"Bark!..." That noise! It had to be that dog from before! And if he was ahead then that meant that-
"Angel!" I called out, taking flight just a little above the ground so I could get a better view without any pony able to spot me that easily. But when I flew over a hill, I saw something terrifying... "Is that...A graveyard?..." I asked, looking towards it in fear.
"Why yes it is." A voice called out from behind me, Scaring me to the point where my bat wings locked up. Making me fall to the ground and see just what was behind me. That tall skeleton man they called 'Jack'. "It is rather somber isn't it?" He asked me, holding out his boney claw to help me up.
"Y-yes..." I said, hiding behind my mane in fear. Trying very hard not to focus on the bones entangled in it.
"Say... I haven't met you before... Might I ask your name? And where you came from?" He asked, still trying to be friendly.
"Jack? Is that you?" Another voice called out. And lookin out from under my mane, I saw it was a creature made of cloth and string. Something that reminded me of Rarity in a way.
"Ah Sally! How are you this dark and frightful evening?!" Jack asked, now even happier than before.
"I'm fine. And that was a terrific performance in Halloween Town you put on." She complimented, sounding rather polite. That's when she noticed me. "Oh Jack. Have you been visiting those trees again? Please tell me that you didn't bring her here." She said, now a little upset about it. Although, she still sounded quiet like I do.
"Um...Well, I kind of came on my own and..." I started to say, feeling a little more comfortable with some pony that seemed a lot like me.
"You did? Then what tree did you come from? Christmas Town perhaps?" Jack asked, interested in my story.
"Well...I didn't come from a tree. I came from a...bush." I told him, feeling a little more relaxed now that they were calm. Plus, they seemed nicer than the other monsters from 'Halloween Town'.
"A bush?" They both asked, looking at one another. "How peculiar..." He said, scratching the top of his head. "What's the name of the town you come from?" He asked, still wanting to know.
"Oh...It's called Ponyville..." I told him. That's when I remembered. "I need to go back soon. It's getting late and I need to give my animals their dinner. Have you seen a dog with a glowing nose? Or maybe a bunny named Angel?" I asked them.
"Dog with a glowing nose? Why, that sounds like Zero." Sally told Jack with a concerned look.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Jack started calling out Zero. "Zero! Zero, are you there?!" He asked, trying to help find the two of them.
And after a few seconds, a bright light started to shine in the distance before making its way over towards us. And within just a few moments, I could see Zero and- "Angel Bunny!" I said, jumping up and running over.
Angel saw me and his face lit up, as he floated over and snuggled in my mane. Glad to see me. Even if I looked a little scary. "Oh Angel! I was so worried about you! Promise me that you will never run off like that again! You have no idea how scared I was looking all over this town for you!" I said, giving him a disapproving look. He didn't respond though as he just floated up and kept himself above my back. Not wanting to leave my side. I knew that he learned his lesson though.
"You were in town?" Jack asked, looking at me with interest. "Did you happen to see the performance the town had put on earlier?! Tell me, was it as terrifying as we thought it was?" He asked, getting excited. This making me back down shyly.
"Now Jack, calm down. I think the poor thin has been through enough for the night." Sally said, warning Jack to back-off before he scared me too much.
"Well...It was really scary..." I told him with a frown, not wanting to be rude. "But...I did like the part where the bats made a silhouette in front of the moon." I told him, finding one thing I did like.
"Splendid! Well, I'm glad you liked our performance." He said with a smile. "I don't believe we've been properly introduced yet. I'm Jack Skellington, The Pumpkin King. And this is my dear wife, Sally." He said, gesturing me to Sally. "And I think you've already met Zero." He said, Zero barking along in glee.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Jack Skellington and Mrs. Sally." I told them with a smile, starting to be a little more comfortable around them. "My name is Fluttershy, and this is my pet, Angel Bunny." I introduced.
"So, by any chance is there a special holiday that your town is preparing to celebrate?" Jack asked with a little more intrigue.
"Jack... You remember what happened with Christmas, now don't you?" Sally asked with a disapproving look.
"I was just asking my dear. I've learned my lesson, and I plan on only focusing with Halloween. Still, I'm just curious." He explained his reason.
"Well...We have a holiday tomorrow called Nightmare Night. Every pony dresses up and all the younger ponies go door to door to get candy. I don't really like it though since it's so scary..." I said, shivering a little at the memory.
"The way you explain it, Nightmare Night sounds just like Halloween!" Jack said with a grin. "And to think, it's just tomorrow..." He said with a thoughtful look. That's when he remembered something. "Oh, that's right! Did you say that you need to be getting back to 'Ponyville' to feed your animals?" He asked. "If you'd like, I'd be happy to help you find your way back to the trees. And bush." He said with a friendly look.
"Why, that'd be lovely. Thank you Mr. Jack Skellington." I said with a smile. Both me and Angel were exhausted from all the excitement, and did want to get home.
"Please, just Jack would be fine." He said with a bow. "Now then, let's hurry. Mustn't let your animals starve. At least, the living ones that is." He corrected himself. "Speaking of, maybe you should visit again when the festivities aren't so...Lively as they were."
After giving it some thought, I did think that was a good idea. And with Jack around, I wouldn't mind coming back. Maybe even the others would like to come too. "I think that might be a great idea." I told him.
Besides, if the monsters in Halloween Town weren't as mean and scary as they really looked, then maybe I should give them a fair chance. After all, Discord got a fair chance, and look at him. He's actually a real sweet pony once you get to know him. So if some pony like him was nice, who says that the monsters here aren't friendly too? And you know...I think I might actually start to enjoy Nightmare Night now. I mean, the ponies aren't this scary looking with costumes. And... I think I know just what to dress up as for Nightmare Night.
*Twilight's Tree House*
Fluttershy's POV
"And that's my story." I said, smiling at them as I finished. We were all gathered around in Twilight's house for the Nightmare Night party. I had dressed myself up with the same look I had in Halloween Town. Except since I didn't keep the look when I came back, I had to recreate it. So I made some papier-mâché bones and weaved them into my mane and tail. Along with putting elastic around my wings to make them look like bat wings.
The others were all dressed up to. Blitz was dressed up as a 'Secret Agent' with a suit, sunglasses, something that connected into his ear, and a tazer that was attached to his arm.
Spike was dressed as a simple vampire with false teeth, a cape, and a red undershirt. Not as scary as the vampires in Halloween Town, but it was nice.
Rarity was dressed up in a scary way as well. She had placed buttons over her eyes and used make-up to look like she was all stitched together. She called her costume 'Other Rarity', but it just confused us all.
Twilight was dressed as a bed sheet, no wait, a ghost. She had lost a bet with Rainbow Dash and was forced to dress up as something simple for Halloween. But when Twilight dressed as some pony from unicorn history, Rainbow Dash just took a bed sheet and put it over her.
Rainbow Dash was dressed in a ware-pony costume. Her coat looking mangled and a mask over her face that made it look more feral. Not to mention, her mask gave her eyes a yellowish tint to them.
Pinkie Pie was dressed as a trophy topper. All of her, even the party hat and streamers hanging from her, was painted gold. So she could just stay perfectly still and act like she was a trophy for best 'Part Thrower'.
Applejack dressed as something that was odd, but we all got it right away. A Timberwolf. It was pretty good to. Except that she had her normal hat on overtop of it. But, I didn't say anything about it.
And even with all of their great costumes, they said mine was the best. And after asking how I came up with it, they wanted me to tell them the long story. Luckily, I was able to use Blitz's ear to play the song they all sang.
"Fluttershy, are you sure that's what happened?" Twilight asked. "Because that doesn't seem logical at all."
"I'm kinda with Twilight on this one." Blitz agreed. "I've seen some weird stuff in Equestria, but nothing like wooden bushes or doors to a town of Halloween. Besides, Halloween's a holiday in my world. How would there be a town in Equestria about it?"
"Well, maybe it was another dimension." I said. "I promise I'm not lying though. It really happened." I assured them.
"Eh, I'm not buying it." Spike said as he munched on some cotton candy. "Besides, a walking, living skeleton? I'll believe it when I see it."
"But that 'Sally' character you came up with does sound interesting. I might just have to see if I can make a design that fits her description." Rarity said, thinking out-loud.
Just then, before I could say anything else, there was a knock on the door that sounded a little odd. "I'll get it." Rainbow Dash said, getting up and flying to the door to answer. "AH!" She screamed in shock, flying back over to us quickly.
"Wow Dashie, what's wrong?! Did some pony get the jump on you?!" Pinkie asked, looking up towards the door. She then jumped up in fear. "AH! Real Skelly! Every pony run!" She screamed, the others getting just as scared.
"Jack?..." I asked, getting up and going over to the door. "Is that you? What happened?" I asked him, seeing that he was different. Instead of being a tall two-legged skeleton, he was now a pony skeleton. More specifically, a unicorn skeleton.
"Hello there Fluttershy! How nice to see you this Nightmare Night!" He said with a grin.
I couldn't help but smile. "How did you find us though?" I asked, not able to keep myself from asking.
"Well, you dropped that invitation on the streets of Halloween Town, and Sally found it. So when it gave instructions on how to come here, we followed them." He explained to me. "Since it was such short notice though, we couldn't make ourselves costumes. Hope you don't mind." He said with a sad smile.
"Wait. We? Who's we?" Blitz asked, getting a little defensive about a living skeleton coming into Twilight's house with guests.
"Why, me and Sally." Jack said, moving to the side to show Sally walk right beside him. She was still made of cloth and thread, but was now an Earth Pony. "Are we allowed to come in?" She asked, wanting to be polite.
"Come in?! Fluttershy, do you seriously know these two?!" Rainbow Dash asked, not wanting to trust them.
"Yes. These are my two friends I just finished telling you about. Jack Skellington The Pumpkin King, and his wife Sally." I introduced them. "Jack, Sally. These our my friends. Spike, Applejack, Twilight, Blitz, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash." I told them, gesturing to each one.
"A pleasure to meet you all. Again, we're sorry for not wearing costumes. But we brought plenty of candy." He said, pulling in a wagon full of candy.
It was Twilight's turn to step up next. Not liking any of this. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that you can't-"
"It's okay Twilight." Pinkie interrupted, putting a hoof over Twilight's already covered up muzzle. "They're excused." She then went over to them with a friendly smile. "But next time you come, don't forget your costumes! We have a costume contest every year!" She told them, now completely trusting them.
"Will do. Thank you Ms. Pie for the wonderful opportunity to come to the Nightmare Night Party." He told her with a bow.
"Are you kidding?! A skeleton is just what we need to liven the party!" She told him, giggling at the irony. As did Jack. "Come on every pony! Let's PARTY!"
And so the rest of the night went along very well. All my friends warmed up to Jack and Sally right away, even if some of them had their doubts. They had a lot in common.
Sally got along well with Blitz, Rarity, and Twilight the most. Having something in common with all three of them. Her and Blitz both had body parts that were removable, so they had something that made them similar right away. Not to mention, she loved sewing and she was the voice of reason. Which Rarity and Twilight appreciated and were able to get along with.
Jack got along well with Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, Spike, and Applejack the most. Him and Pinkie both knew how to be the life of the party and had so many secrets to share. Applejack and Spike got along pretty well with him because they both thought on a similar level about working and appreciating how to take things slowly. As for him and Rainbow Dash, they became good friends quickly when they scared Blitz to the ceiling with a living head stuck to his tail. That had freaked him out the most of anything they tried, and they died twice from laughing so hard.
It was a great party from there on out, and when we all had to leave, we all promised to have a party both during Halloween and Nightmare Night. And I already knew just how great those two days of the year were going to go next time.
And that concludes this little trip to Halloween Town! Sorry this took longer than usual. Finding the lyrics and trying to research Nightmare Before Christmas was actually harder than I thought. Stupid online movie subscription! I wish we had Netflix!
Oh well, I still got it in two days, so not that bad. Oh and by the way, I will give a shout-out to whoever can guess Rarity's costume is based off of! That is, if anyone can figure it out in time!
Finally, I want to give a shout-out to Justus80 for the idea! Keep em comin every pony! We still got seven days left and I got a ton of stuff I wanna try and write up! Hope to see you all next time!
