Chapter 2 here we go! We're finally entering the house, and please review if you like it! :3

Rainbow Dash felt excitement boil in her stomach as she raced to keep up with Pinkie Pie. Letting her wings go flat against her sides, she sped off faster than ever as she gained ground on Pinkie. But strangely enough, the more faster she went the more farther Pinkie Pie got. "Huh? That's weird?..." In a flash she reached the house, and saw Pinkie Pie just gazing up at the mansion with a wide grin perched on her face. "Nice race Pinkie!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, although feeling quite embarrassed that she lost. "Huh? Oh-what?... We were racing? Gosh Rainbow you should have told me!"

Rainbow Dash was only more puzzled.

It was then when Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, and Fluttershy arrived. "Where were you guys!?"

"We had to yank some yellow pegasus off of a lamppost." Applejack replied grimly. Fluttershy only shrunk from the eyes that now stared at her. "S-sorry?"

"Looky looky! There it is!" Pinkie Pie pointed wildly. Twilight stepped forward to peer at the house. "Is this really what Princess Celestia wants?"

"Welp! If she sent it to you in a note, I guess it must be so..." Spike answered plainly and stepped forward onto the leaky floorboards. The whole house instantly shook and rattled. "Whaaa!"

Spike suddenly lost his balance and fell backwards onto the stoned path that led up towards the house. "Gosh! I never knew Higgly road had such scary houses!"

Pinkie Pie only giggled. "Ha ha! Oh Spike, this isn't scary. Something scary would be like... Like being held down against your will and being forced to do something you never like to do!"

Everyone stared at her in sudden horror.

"Oh my! I definitely don't like the sound of that at all!" Rarity squealed.

"Oh quit pullin our hooves!" Applejack snapped at the pink pony irritably. "You'll just end up scaring some of us." "What? You scared AJ?" Rainbow taunted suddenly. "No! I mean Fluttershy! And quit callin me AJ!" "Why? Does it bother you?" Rainbow Dash smirked. "Of course it doesn't! Well... Actually it does!... No... Um... Uh..." "QUIET!" Twilight screeched, causing both arguing ponies to jump in sudden fear.

"You're not helping!"

"Uh... We're we supposed to be helping?" Rainbow continued softly. "WATCH IT DASH!" Twilight snarled at the pegasus, causing her to shrink back. "Ok, ok! Gosh!"

Twilight then thought of something. "Maybe we should take our costumes off... You know, just in case somepony lives here. We don't wanna scare them do we?"

"Hah! You actually think somepony could live here!?" Rainbow Dash joked, bursting in laughter. "You're such an egghead!"

Twilight only ignored it as she took off her wizard costume. There was a sigh coming from underneath the mattress sheet as Rarity pulled hers off too.

Soon everypony was out of their costumes, awaiting what Twilight's next command would be.

"We should probably split up into groups of two and explore the house like the Princess told us to do. Then we'll meet back here outside later and discuss what we've learned about fear and how Halloween is... Um... A holiday?"

Everypony looked confused, even Twilight. "Ugh! I know it sounds weird but if this is what the Princess wants, then this is what the Princess shall get!"

"Ooh ooh!" Pinkie Pie chimed. "I call Twilight!"

Rarity turned towards Fluttershy immediately. "Are you going with me just like we did at the Amusement Park?" (Book 1 of mine)

"Oh... I don't mind Rairty. Not at all." The yellow pegasus replied, looking more confident than a few seconds ago.

Applejack sighed. "Guess that leaves me with the brat over here." "Hey! I am not a brat! If anything! I'm a cool brat!" Rainbow Dash proudly announced with a grin on her face. Applejack growled sharply from annoyance while stomping her hooves onto the pavement but she knew she could do... Nothing.

"Let's go..." Twilight began, taking a step forward when there was a small. "WAIT!" From behind."Ugh! Fluttershy you're just gonna have to buck up and-!?" Twilight turned to see Spike, gazing up at her with narrowed eyes. "Ya-huh. Some friend you are. But what about me?"

Twilight only felt slightly embarrassed. "Oh! You can go with... Uh..." She scanned each group wondering which would be the right one for him.

I know! I'll let Applejack and Rainbow Dash take him so that they won't fight as much when he's around!

But before she could say ANYTHING, Pinkie Pie yelled. "You can come with us!"

"Ugh!" Twilight just face-palmed herself and decided to go with it.

"Well... Whatever's on the other side of that door... It's waiting for us..." Rarity spoke up from the back, causing a chill to run through everyone's blood.

As Twilight slowly twisted the door open, the rusty old door suddenly fell to the floor, causing dust to fly everywhere. Everyone let out a small shriek except for Pinkie Pie of course. "Whee! Come on Twilight! We'll take this hall!" The pink pony pointed towards a room to their left which led to an open hallway. "Ok..." She agreed slowly, while following Pinkie, Spike also followed at a much slower rate. "Can't believe I have to come with you guys." "Would you rather wanna wait outside in the cold dark yard on the scariest night of the year while standing in front of a creepy old mansion?" Twilight asked quite mockingly. "Uh... On second thought... I'm glad I'm in here with you all an not out there! Heh!"

Twilight enjoyed the little dragon's company especially since Pinkie Pie kept on going farther ahead. "Wow! This is a really long hallway! I wonder how long it actually is!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed much farther down. The whole hallway was pitch black, so Twilight decided to spark up her horn and use it as a flash light. "Wait up Pinkie!"

Meanwhile Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash were having a hard time choosing which way they were going.

"Uh... Fluttershy dear, which hall looks the safest to you?" Rarity asked shakily. "Um... I really don't know because I can hardly see it's so dark in here." The shy pony confessed.

"Well! Not to worry my dear! You've got Rarity! And when you've got Rarity... You've got light!" In a few sparks Rarity's horn lit up, brightening up the room to a dim point of light. "There! Good thing I'm a unicorn, and Twilight's a unicorn as well, so we'll have no trouble finding our way throughout the house won't we Rainbow Dash, Applejack?"

Applejack and Rainbow Dash both instantly began feeling a tiny bit nervous. "Oh well then I love having Rarity around me." Fluttershy replied as they headed into the room that was straight ahead of them. Applejack and Rainbow Dash watched as they strolled through a furniture area for a bit but then Rarity's horn light faded. "Well... I guess were on our own now." Applejack spoke up through the darkness. "Yeah? When have we ever needed them chumps!?" Rainbow declared heading off towards the right into total darkness. "Uh... On second thought... It would be nice to have a small candle or some kind of light."

"That's what I thought." Applejack replied smirking, in a mocking tone.

So they had only one choice, but to feel their way through the dark and into an unknown room.
