Ditzy Doo has done wonders for Trouble Shoes, providing him with an emotional anchor to help settle down and finally establish roots for himself.

While the move to Ponyville was difficult, he is excited to be with the mare he loves and finally have the family he's always desired.

This includes being a father to Ditzy's daughter, Dinky Doo. However, the change has been difficult on her and she remains fairly distant and formal towards him, frequently calling him Mr. Clyde and treating him like any other adult.

Trouble Shoes hopes that with Nightmare Night approaching, he can use the holiday to finally bond with his stepdaughter and bridge the divide between them.

This fic was lovingly proofread by my girlfriend Clem. Many thanks to her for helping me find all of my sinful mistakes.

Written for Rawrienstein as my contribution to her 2018 Terrifying Tamantha gift exchange. Her request was for a fic involving Trouble Shoes and Ditzy taking Dinky out for trick-or-treating (or whatever the horses call it).
