In Cantorlot High, on the month of October all of the students were busy working on banners, posters and decorations for this school years Halloween's costume party. It was only days away and everyone was getting excited about it while planning onto what costumes to wear. Sunset Shimmer and Sci-Twlight were then walking down the hallway on their way to the cafeteria to see their friends while looking around seeing how everything was going.
"Well this should be a good Halloween this year, don't you think Twilight?" Sunset Shimmer asked when she looked at Sci-Twilight holding her puppy Spike as the two stopped in the hallway looking to one another.
"Yes, but this is the first time for me and Spike to come to the party. And I don't know what costume to wear either." Replied Sci-Twilight as she felt a bit nervous of this. But soon Sunset smiles a bit knowing of what it felt like for her, soon she places a hand on Sci-Twilight's shoulder giving her a little comfort.
"Hey it's okay, you have lots of time to of that, and besides Pinkie and Rarity will help you on choosing the perfect costume for you."
Sci-Twilight soon gave a small smile in feeling a little better, also to be glad Sunset was there for her. Soon the two went on their way to the cafeteria to check on their friends, as they saw them at a table waiting for them.
"Hey, ya'll. we'd been waiting for you to show up." Applejack said greeting the girls seeing them come over.
"So, is everyone excited about Halloween? Cause I am so pumped up about it!" Rainbow Dash said in a big grin getting excited about the spooky time of the year. But to this Fluttershy knew she didn't like being scared easily, even Rarity knew that little problem as she saw Fluttershy soon feeling unsure.
"You guys, have you forgotten that Fluttershy gets easily frightened with scary things?" Questioned Rarity while comforting Fluttershy. The others soon said their sorry but yet Sunset decided on an idea that could help make the Halloween party not too scary soon to comfort Fluttershy too.
"Say you guys, I know we can't have the Halloween costume party to scary, so I think we could try to put on a show to perform our new song and make Halloween of how we feel comfortable with," Sunset said when sharing her idea with the others.
"Even by the power of our friendship?" Sci-Twilight asked to Sunset's idea. Sunset Shimmer soon nodded and soon made the girls give her a group hug to let their first Halloween with Sci-Twilight be the best one ever.
The Nex Day the students are busy getting ready for the Halloween Costume Party in the band room Sunset Shimmer, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie are thinking of which song they're going to play during their performance while Sci-Twilight and Spike sat there watching.
"So which song are we gonna play for this year's Halloween?" Rainbow Dash asked
Pinkie Pie answered Rainbow's question by showing her the list of tracks on her phone. "We could play those scary songs such as Thriller? Or Monster Mash? Or, or, or, what about this song I found?"
Pinkie Pie plays "I'm a Hex Girl" song with her phone dancing to the tune but the girls didn't think it's a good idea Applejack grabs her phone and stops the song.
"Sorry Pinkie, I don't think this song is such a good idea." Said Applejack.
"Yeah, it brings back too many memories." Agreed Sunset Shimmer
"What kind of memories?" Sci-Twilight Sparkle asked out of curiosity
"The part where Sunset Shimmer stole Twilight's crown who was a pony princess from another world and turn into an evil witch monster!" Pinkie explained and looked at Sunset and laughed nervously. "Uh no offense."
"None taken. Still, use to it." Replied Sunset.
"So what are you girls going to dress up for Halloween?" said Spike the Dog.
"That's a good question, Spike." Said Sci-Twilight
The Rainbooms are wondering the same thing about what to wear for the party but Rarity stands up and said.
"Well, Sunset Shimmer did tell me and Pinkie Pie about that perhaps I could make a few costumes for us to wear."
"I'm pretty sure I'll get use to wear something for Halloween that's not so scary." Worried Fluttershy.
"Relax Darling, it only happens once a year you'll think of something." Assured Rarity
"Besides spending time with us on Halloween should be awesome!" said Rainbow Dash excitedly
"And it won't be the same without you so come on give it a try!" said Pinkie Pie
"I guess you're right I'll enjoy this holiday this year." Said Fluttershy.
"That's the spirit." Said Sunset as she wrapped her arm around her.
Just then they hear the door knocked it was Principal Celestia who was checking on the girls to see how they were doing.
"Sorry to interrupt girls how are your plans for your performance for the party?" she asked.
"Uh, we're getting there. We're still trying to figure which song we're gonna play for the show." Answer Rainbow Dash.
"I'm sure you girls can think of something and I'm proud of you all for coming up this idea for this year's party." Said Principal Celestia with reassurance.
"No problem Principal Celestia, it's what we do." Said Applejack.
"And I need Sunset Shimmer's help with something."
"Sure what is it?" Sunset asked Celestia
"There's a visitor from New Orleans, Louisiana who just came here to Canterlot High." Explained Celestia.
The girls were surprised to hear that there's someone who traveled from far away to come to Canterlot High.
"New Orleans?" Sci-Twilight asked.
"Yes, and I guess he's heard about those events we have here in CHS and I figure Sunset Shimmer could show him around would you?" suggested Celestia.
"Sure I'll be glad to do it." Accepted Sunset Shimmer.
"Thanks, I must get back to my office keep up the good work girls."
Principal Celestia leaves the music room to return to her office the girls are still surprised about what Principal Celestia said.
"This is the first time we heard about someone who travels from New Orleans to Canterlot High, ever since I transferred here from Crystal Prep." Said Sci-Twilight
"Yeah I know what you mean I wonder what he's doing here?" wondered Spike.
"I don't know." Said Sci-Twilight.
The girls are thinking about this visitor but Sunset decided to go see this for herself.
"Well, you girls figure what which song you're going to use for the performance I better go give this strange visitor a tour see ya later." She said and left to the main foyer to give this strange visitor a tour of the school. Once Sunset is gone The Rainbooms are back to their business.
"We've still got a few minutes before lunch starts." Said Rainbow Dash. "So which song are we going to use?"
Then Applejack thought of the idea while she looks at list tracks on Pinkie's phone and shows one to the girls.
"Well, I saw a song from Pinkie Pie's phone and I figure this one should do it."
"Earth, Wind, Fire, and Air?" Sci-Twilight while looking at the title.
" Yep." Said Applejack before Pinkie grabbed her phone back.
"Oooh I love that song been listening to it ever since!" she said excitedly
"Well what are we waiting for let's look at the lyrics and start playing!" approved Rainbow Dash.
"Well, this shall be good." Said Spike proudly.
In the main foyer of Canterlot High Sunset Shimmer arrived with a brightness smile she could as she approached to the visitor. "Hi. Are you the visitor from New Orleans?"
The visitor was Dr. Facilier who just arrived at Canterlot High and approaches to Sunset Shimmer. "Indeed, Enchantée." He said. "A tip of the hat from Dr. Facilier. How Y'all doin'?"
Dr. Facilier gives Sunset his card surprised and reads it out loud.
"Doctor Facilier, Tarot Readings, Charms, Potions, Dreams Made Real," Sunset said as looks very interested about Facilier appearance. "That's cool, well my name is Sunset Shimmer and I'm here to give you the tour. Canterlot High's a great school. You're gonna love it."
"Oh yes, I'm just sensing there's something magical about this school of yours." Dr. Facilier grinned in an evil laugh as Maleficent's raven follows them a few minutes have passed as Sunset gives Facilier the tour.
"That's the science lab. The computer lab is in there. Oh!" Sunset excitedly rushed to the poster of the Halloween Costume Party. "We're having a Halloween Costume Party this week! The whole school is pretty much rallying around it."
The Shadow Man became so interesting to hear what Sunset just said. "A Halloween party you say?"
He sinisterly grinned as he looked at Maleficent's Raven who is watching from on top the lockers thinking about the same thing
"I'm sure since you're visiting, Principal Celestia would let you sign up if you're interested." Sunset Shimmer offered.
"Well, perhaps I could stick around for one event." Said Dr. Facilier. "I'd wager...I'm in the company of performing a magic show."
"Really?" Sunset asked.
"Oh yes." He replied. "I'm sure that my friends would be so interested in this party cause I got Friends on the Other Side."
Sunset Shimmer looked confused about what Facilier said until she notices the box the Evil Queen gave him in his pocket.
"That's a pretty box." She laughed nervously and grabs the box. "What's in it?"
Sunset Shimmer was about to open it but Maleficent's raven flew down and attack her Sunset try to use her arms to make it go away.
"What?! Hey! Go Away! Shoo! Shoo! Get out of here!" Sunset throws the box at the raven but he dodged it feared Dr. Facilier thinking it would break.
"Careful with that!" he shouted and manage to catch the box before it hits the ground. "ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THIS I'M GONNA BE—"
His temper terrified Sunset not wanting to cause any trouble he took a breath and calm himself and smiled at the girl. "I apologize for the way I lost my temper." Said Dr. Facilier as he explained the box to her. "It's just this box means so much to me I just hate if anything happens to it."
"Uh….Okay," said Sunset in a confusing voice.
"I thank you for this tour Sunset." Bowed the Shadow Man "Now if you excuse me, I have to go to speak to this Principal Celestia of yours about this Halloween party."
Dr. Facilier walks angrily away as Maleficent's raven continues to follow him, leaving Sunset Shimmer looked suspicious to him as Facilier left Sunset he angrily looked at the box and see there's no damage and wasn't angry at the raven then he thought of an idea on how to get Celestia and Luna's trust. He whistles his two shadow minions from the other side.
"My friends I may have a way to gain Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna's trust." Grinned Facilier. "So I need you to do a small favor for me."
