Twilight finds herself bothered by a very strange and persistent itch. The more she scratches, the worse it gets. But no matter what she does, it simply won't go away. It's driving her out of her mind, yet relief seems impossible. However, the itch is only the beginning.

Trigger Warning: Arachnophobia

Happy (almost) Nightmare Night, ghouls and boys.

There'll come a day when you won't relish the pages before you.

One day, Rarity forgets to turn the faucet off.

Then, everypony else begins forgetting things.

Pinkie Pie has gotten a job at a prestigious bakery in Manehatten. She moves into the city and gets a lovely little old house, complete with furnishings and old things. She finds a chest in the attic that seems sealed, and upon opening it, finds a puppet inside who speaks to her.
The puppet seems nice enough, and expresses an interest in Pinkie Pie and her life around the city. Pinkie has seen stranger things, and doesn't really question it, just opting to treat her new friend like she wouldn't any other friend. But things aren't as simple as she thinks they are.

'Sweetie Belle, you've been acting strange all week. I'm worried about you.'

'Don't be. I'm brand new.'

Sequel: The Changing of Sweet Apple Acres

A strange hole opens up outside of Ponyville.

Nopony is sure where it came from.

Or where it goes.
