Soarin and the Ghostlight

by CAPTAIN YOSHI HD


The story

The whole famliy was at Sugar cube Corner sitting at a big table outside the shop. Screwball and Mothball were gazing at the stars in the sky. "Gosh, sure is a nice night.", Mothball said.

Then, they heard a tapping from behind. It was a hanged curtain, there was a light shining and it showed a shadow of Soarin. Screwball turned her head around and saw it there. She chuckled. "It sure is a nice night."

Mothball did the same thing and chuckled. He got up out of his seat and walked toward the hidden pony. "I sure hope your uncle's not trying to wait around anywhere to scare me, 'cause I'll freak out."

Soarin dropped out of nowhere and yelled as he scared Mothball. He crashed into the curtain and it revealed a statue of Soarin. The whole family laughed. "Heh. Now that's what I call the scariest prank ever.", Discord said.

Screwball got off her seat and walked to Mothball. "Oh my gosh.", she said. "Sweetie, are you ok?"

"Yes, Sweetie.", Mothball said softly as he put a hoof around Screwy's back.

"Oh good lord.", Soarin laughed. "Boy, you felt like you seen the ghostlight."

"SOARIN!", a loud voice said in the shadows. The pony walked into the light of the moon, it was Spitfire, she glared at Soarin. "Don't... mock... the ghostlight."

"What is a ghostlight?", Screwball asked. The ponies turned silent, they gathered around Spitfire.

"The ghostlight is a glowing ball of stolen souls that haunts these very parts.", Spitfire said as she stepped forward a few inches towards Soarin.

"Don't listen to her, you two, it's not real.", Soarin said.

"IT IS REAL!", Spitfire yelled. Screwball, Mothball, and Soarin froze with fright.

"It all started at a night like tonight, the moon was full and glowing brightly down on the land. There were a group of ponies walking in the woods and they spotted a natural blue glow." Spitfire explained the whole story for 30 minutes. "So remember, the only thing that angers the ghostlight more than anything is the sound of chattering teeth."

Soarin's teeth was chattering fast, he caught himself and closed his jaw shut.

"When you get home, keep an eye out.", Spitfire said ending the story. "The ghostlight... could be... anywhere. ...Well goodnight." She flew into the sky.

"Oh, we're both bushed.", Mothball said. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight.", the whole family said. They all went to their homes and shut off their lights.

"Uh, goodnight.", Soarin said as all the lights of Ponyville shut off. "Rainbow,... are you still around? If not don't answer." Soarin didn't hear Rainbow answer, she left without him.
