"Vice Principle Luna! Your the scary ghost," a soaking wet freezing cold Sweetie Belle exclaimed in confusion!
"Ghost? I don't know anything about any ghost," she answered as the young girl calmed down.
"Now come along my dear. Your two girl friends are waiting for you in my office. I escorted them there for safe keeping after I discover them in the school tonight," the woman explained.
After getting Sweetie Belle a warm dry clean change of clothes from the nurse's office Luna then walk with her to where her friends were waiting. All three girls were unharmed. Luna gave them all and soft warm brown colored blankets to wrap around themselves along with some hot chocolate to drink.
"Now please explain to me why your girls are here at the school so late at night after we just close our doors for good," questioned Luna. The girls then explained all about the rumor that they had heard about the ghost and how they wanted to go and see it and how they were scared of the ghost trying to eat them.
"Now, I have a few questions of my own," Scootaloo told Luna. "If you're not a scary ghost then how come you were following us around all night with your scary foot step sounds and why where you yelling at us over the PA system in the scary mean voice?"
"Yeah and how come when we were all hiding in principle Celestia's office you went and banged on the door really super hard and yelled at us," added Apple Bloom.
"Why are there metal chains on all of the doors that leaded to the outside of the school," Sweetie Belle contributed.
"Well to be honest. I didn't realize that it was you girls who were here in the school and I thought that you might be robbers and because of this crazy rainstorm I was unable to call the police for help. So I kept trying to track you down myself. As for me yelling over the PA system I was trying to sound assertive and firm so that way if there were any burglars here in the school they would know that I was serious about finding them and stopping them and I was banging on the door to my sister's office because I thought that you might have been in there trying to steal things and I didn't want you to escape. Lastly the chains you see were put on all the doors that lead to the outside of the school were put there by me not long after everyone went home at the end of the school day to keep people from breaking in. So, I was shocked when I saw three mysterious people running all about the hallways at night making a racket," Luna told them.
"So you're not a ghost Vice principle Luna," the three young girls ask in unison with a sigh or relief.
"No, I'm afraid not. I think that you three were simply allowing your imaginations to get the better of you," Luna explained in a compassionate understanding tone of voice as she gazed down at the girls with a smile.
"You might not be a ghost Vice principle Luna but I think that is," Scootaloo exclaimed in fear after she stood up and walked over to Luna's office window and peered through it and saw a tall dark showy figure standing motionless in the silver moon light just outside the front of the school.
The thunderstorm had just stopped and the haunting dark figure stood without moving for what felt like forever to the now freighted Scootaloo. The ten year-old then tapped on the window with her finger and cried out in fear! "What is that?!" Scootaloo asked just as the entity looked up at her sharply. Scootaloo saw two large red eyes flash at her in the moonlight.
The two young girls joined their friend by the window to see what Scootaloo was yelling about.
"Somethings is out there," they shouted as they were all shocked and freighted when they saw the dark figure move slowly towards the front of the school.
"You girls stay here in my office where it's safe and keep the door locked. I'll go and see what's out there," Luna instructed them as she looked out the window and observed what the three girls where seeing.
Luna pulled down the window shade and exited the classroom. After Luna didn't return to her office for twenty minutes the three Cutie Mark Crusader's became afraid of the possibility that Luna might have been eaten up by the haunting ghostly figure they saw outside. Neither of them dared to peek out the window for fear of once again seeing the red eyed ghost.
