The Lost Shimmering Sun

by Pinkie Pie Sweets


Chapter 38: Halloween Mission

It's been a week since, Sun has seen the Blue Lady in her dreams, and at some point still thinks about it. After the week, halloween is already here and everyone are very excited for it. In fact, everyone in Canterlot High are wearing their costumes for the occasion. At that time of Sun and her friends are having lunch in the cafeteria and they are wearing their costumes too.

Sun is dressed like an angel with realistic wings, Rainbow Dash is Daring Do the great treasure hunter. Applejack is a scarecrow, Pinkie Pie is in a chicken costume, Fluttershy is a monarch butterfly, and Rarity is a mermaid. The girls are talking about what they are going to do for tonight.

Rainbow Dash asks, "So what are you guys going to do for tonight."

"I'm going to take the twins trick or treating and this is going to be their first time!" Pinkie says with excitement..

Sun giggles and says, "I can understand, but won't it be hard for them since they're like a month old now. "

"Yeah. I know, but I'll make sure to at least walk them around to help them sleep," Pinkie happily replies.

"I'll just stay home and be with some of my pets," Fluttershy quietly says.

Sun looks at Fluttershy with a questionably look and says, "You're not going to go out on halloween, Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy and the others look at each other with a surprised look on their faces. With everything going on for setting up this fun holiday, they have forgot to tell her about Fluttershy's little problem.

Rainbow Dash turns to Sun and explains, "Well Sun, Fluttershy had a little… unpleasant experience when she was around six years old. It's kind of made her scared to go outside on halloween.

Sun looks a shock look and ask, "Is… is it really that bad, Fluttershy?"

"Oh, don't worry, I'll be fine," Fluttershy shutters and starts to shake a lot with her eyes closed shut.

"Did something happened?" Sun asks looking concerned.

Fluttershy starts to stutter some more as she explains, "Well, there was these kids... you know Big Boy and Run… and they dressed as the most scariest monster I'd ever seen… and they scared a lot of us at that time including me… and they have sharp teeth and big wing… and wild scary hair. I was so… so scared, that I ran home while screaming and crying."

Sun starts to understand what happened and bluntly says, "So basically, those two knuckleheads nearly gave you a heart attack."

The girls nod their head answering yes. Now Sun knows why Fluttershy isn't happy about halloween. It's because those two boys, Big Boy and Runt really scared her with their costumes.

Rarity looks at Fluttershy with a calm smile and says, "Don't worry about it Fluttershy, even though you won't come with us on halloween, we'll make sure to visit you.

"If you want Fluttershy, I won't mind staying at your house to keep you company for a while," Sun says with a smile.

Fluttershy smiles hearing about Sun's idea to stay with her for the night so she can feel less scared. But she doesn't want Sun to miss her time at halloween.

Fluttershy holds a small smile on her face and says, "That's very nice of you Sun, but I don't want you to miss spending halloween with our friends and your family."

"That's okay, I don't really mind at all. I think it will be a good idea to spend some time with my friends and family and then I can go visit you. Beside I'm skipping out on my father and sister's plan for the night," Sun explains with a smile.

The girls are kind of confused about her father and sister are planning on doing something tonight. They wonder what kind of plan that makes Sun want to drop out of it.

"What kind of plan are they're doing? Rarity asks.

"They said something about doing some pranks around town, but I'm not into pranks like they are," Sun answers.

Rainbow Dash sighs with annoyance and says, "I should have known."

"Yeah. It's just like those two to do a lot of pranks around the neighborhood," Applejack says looking blunt about it.

"And they have fun doing it on april fool's day too," Pinkie adds.

Sun starts to laugh and says, "Well, those two love to pull pranks and somehow they end up coming up with something to do for a prank."

"I don't think there's a prank those two can't come up with," Applejack says.

Sun and her friends start to laugh about it. Even though Sun hasn't been with them for a long time, she can figure that her dad and sister are always up to something that involves pulling pranks, having fun, and act wild. After hearing the bell rings, everyone including the girls leave the cafeteria so they can get to their class. It's been fine in the classroom and in some of the classes they have done halloween activities or have study time today.

After they finish their school, Sun, Screwball, and Discord are at the house making sure they thing is ready for their halloween fun. Well, Discord and Screwball are mostly ready to pull some pranks on the neighbors and get their costumes on. It has taken them until late in the evening to have all their stuff ready.

After getting ready and leaving the house, Sun and her friends are trick or treating and have the little twins with them. They are having a good time on their night off. Sun wishes that Fluttershy is here with them, but still keeping her promise to see her later.

Pinkie happily says, "Wow, we go so much candy!"

"Yes Pinkie. We sure got a lot of them this year," Rainbow Dash says.

The girls are glad to have some fun trick or treating. Applejack notices Sun having two bags full of candy and wants to know why she has them.

Applejack asks, "Sun, why are you carrying two bags of candy with you."

"The other one for Fluttershy. I wanted to at least give her some candy since she has trouble going outside," Sun explains happily.

"That's very nice of you Sun," Rarity say with a smile.

"Fluttershy will be glad to get something from outside," Rainbow Dash adds happily.

"What does Fluttershy do when she doesn't go outside for halloween?" Sun asks.

"She usually stay in bed reading, feeding her animals, and do some cleaning around the house," Pinkie replies happily.

"And even though she's scared of the pranksters, she still helps her parents passing candy to the kids," Rainbow Dash adds happily.

"That's good," Sun happily says.

As they walk, they come across the mansion of the Blue Lady and they are hoping to pass it as soon as possible. But as problems have it, Sun can see 7 people in front of the house. The girls can recognize right away that four of the girls are Applejack, Rarity sisters, and Rainbow little sister figure. Sun can see that the other two girls are Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. However, the others can see that the two bullies from their school Big Boy and Runt are with them as well.

As they walk they can hear them talking about something and it will mean trouble for them. From the looks of the the group are wearing their costumes and some of them are interesting. At they get close they can see that the two boys are giving the girls some trouble and see they have a lot of bags with them.

"Give back our candies you varmit!" Apple Bloom angrily says.

"Aw, but isn't it nice to give to those in need," Big Boy says with a smug on his face.

"We didn't give them to you, you ruffians!" Diamond Tiara says with anger.

Then Silver Spoon angrily says, "She's right, you stole them from us."

"You know the old saying finder's keepers loser's weepers," Run says.

This is starting to get on the girls nerve that the boys has taken their candy. Scootaloo wants to kick the boys butts, but the others don't want to fight them.

Diamond Tiara isn't going to let the bullies get away with it and decides to get them to stop.

She angrily says, "You won't think it's so funny when I tell my dad about it."

But the threat hasn't work very well. The others can tell that the threat hasn't work either. In fact, Big Boy and Run start to laugh.

Big Boy says, "Yeah right diamond hair."

"Yeah. So why don't you get lost," Runt says.

Then Runt push Diamond Tiara to the ground. Sun isn't going to take this anymore. So without thinking she runs over to them so she can get them to stop.

Sun reaches toward the trouble and angrily says, "Hey! Why don't you two pick on somebody your own size."

The girls and the bullies look to see Sun with an angrily stare on her face. Even though she's wearing her angel costume, they can tell Sun means business.

Big Boy says, "Well, if it isn't little Miss. Sunshine and her friends."

"Yeah. shouldn't you girls be at home with your dollies," Run says with a smirk on his face.

"That's not funny. And i also think it's not funny stealing candy and picking on little girls like that," Rainbow Dash angrily says.

"Yeah. You pushed Diamond Tiara," Rarity adds with anger.

Sun kneel down to help Diamond Tiara get up. She also want to see if she's okay.

Sun worriedly asks, "Are you alright?"

"Yes. I am," Diamond Tiara answers.

"Good," Sun says, happy that Diamond Tiara isn't hurt.

Sun turns to the bullies with a serious look, "Alright I'm going to tell you this one time, Give back the girls candy and leave them alone."

"Back off bacon hair, this ain't your business," Runt snarls in reply.

"I'm not a bacon hair," Sun angry says, aftering hearing the insult.

"What's the big idea picking on little kids like that?" Rainbow angrily asks.

"It's very rude to call a lady a harsh name," Rarity adds.

"So why don't you leave the girls alone," Sun angrily replies.

Big Boy and Runt are not going to take lightly to Sun and her friends. They want to have some fun and take treats from others. Just then the two boys have an evil and smug idea.

Big Boy says, "Alright, we'll leave them alone, but on one condition."

The girls are at least glad they're going stop with the nonsense, but can see there is a price to pay.

Applejack look at them with a serious look and asks, "What kind of condition?"

Runt make a smug look on his face and says, "We want one of you to go into the Blue Lady's mansion."

Pinkie shockley screams, "You… you want one of us to go in there."

"Why would you want one of us to do that?" Rainbow Dash asks with rage.

"Because that's the condition," Big Boy answers.

"Yeah. Take it or leave it," Runt replies.

Then he says, "So which one of you wants to go in there."

Sun and the others start to think about the condition that the bullies are telling them. If they want them to leave the girls alone then one of them has to go into that house. Sun is thing about going in there and remembers seeing the Blue Lady on the balcony of the house a while ago. Sun wants to go in there so she can find her and make sure the girls get their candy back.

Rainbow Dash isn't buying this and says, "If you think you're going to make one of us go in that house then…"

But before she can say anything else, Sun comes up to them and says in a serious tone, "Fine. I'll do it."

"What?!" The girls says with a shock.

They are very shocked to hear that Sun is actually willing to go into the haunted mansion.

Applejack comes up to Sun and says, "Now hold on sugarcube, think of what you're saying."

"Yeah. Are you crazy?" Rainbow Dash says trying to reason with her.

"I know going into that house may sound like a terrible idea, but it's the only way to get them to leave the girls along," Sun explains her reasons.

She then looks at the old mansion and says, "Besides, I want to see if the Blue Lady really is in there like I saw her last time."

The girls are surprised to hear what Sun is saying and her talk about the Blue Lady. They are starting to understand why Sun wants to go in there.

"Are you saying you want to help her?" Rarity asks with concern.

"Yes I do," Sun answers.

Big Boys make a smirk on his face and says, "Then it's a deal then."

"First, give the girls back their candy. Then I'll go into the house," Sun demands in a firm tone.

"Fine," Runt replies.

With that, the two bullies return the bags of candy to the girls. The girls are glad that they candy back, but feels skeptic about Sun going on to the house.

"Thanks Sun," Silver Spoon says with a smile.

"You're the best," Scootaloo replies

Diamond Tiara comes up to her and asks, "Are you sure about doing this?"

"Yes," Sun answers calmly.

"Well, get gave everyone their candy, so it's your turn to make the deal," Big Boys says.

Sun ods her head agreeing to the deal they have.

Sun turns to her friends and says, "You all head to Fluttershy's house and then take the others back home."

"Right," the girls reply.

At that moment, Sun starts to walk toward towards the old mansion where the Blue Lady lives. The girls are worried that Sun is going inside that mansion by herself and she wants them to take the others home. Big Boy and Runt are eager to see that Sun is actually going into the house.

Sweetie Belle turns to her sister and worriedly asks, "I hope Sun knows what she's going?"

"I hope so too," Rarity says with concerns.

"I'm hoping the ghost doesn't get her," Scootaloo mutters to Apple Bloom.

"Scootaloo," Apple Bloom says with anger.

Just then Applejack says, "Come on kids let's get you all home."

"Okay," The girls reply.

With that, the girls leave the two bullies and Sun at the house and hopefully Sun will be alright. Of course, they're going to have to tell Fluttershy what is going on. When the girls are gone, Big Boy and Run takes evil smirks on their faces like they are up to something sinister.

Big Boy turns to Runt and says, "Are you ready to have some fun?"

"Yeah," Runt replies with a smile.

With that, the two boy walk to the side of the house and from the looks of it, they are heading into the house, but from another direction. The two boys have some tricks up their sleeves and Sun is going to have trouble with them.

Sun walks all the way to the front door of the house. She remembers that she has a dream of her going in there and finding the Blue Lady. Now, Sun is going to see if that dream is going to become a reality.

Sun takes a deep breath and says, "Okay, time to find the Blue Lady and see if I can help her."

At that moment, Sun opens the door to the mansion and make her way inside. Sun knows the kind of mishap she is getting herself into, but it's the only way to help her friend and help the Blue Lady find peace.

Out on the balcony, the Blue Lady has been there for a while, but make sure she isn't seen by anyone. She has seen everything that has happened. She can see that even though Sun still have some sadness within her heart, she has been able to get through her problem and stand up to bullies. Now, the Blue Lady see Sun going into her home and Big Boy and Runt into the house by the back room. She needs to take care of those boys and help Sun whenever she can.
