At school the next day...... 

"I feel something odd," Apple Bloom said, "And I have no idea what it is." 

"Is everything OK, Apple Bloom?" Sweetie Belle asked. 

"I think. I just can't stop seeing my parents for some odd reason," she said, "I swear I feel them somewhere in the classroom!" 

"Maybe it's just the wind," Cozy Glow suggested.

Scootaloo gasped. "Guys, you know what this means, right?"

"And what's that?" Cozy Glow, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle asked. 

"Rainbow Dash once told me if you're feeling odd presences in a room, it means that the ponies or creatures are attached to the place where they died after death," Scootaloo said. 

"But why are they here? They never were attached to Miss Cheerilee's school!" Apple Bloom cried. 

"Maybe they're just attached to it because they wanna see their youngest daughter on Nightmare Night," Cozy suggested, "Now that you mention it, I did feel a cold draft just a second ago. And I'm seeing desks move right before our very eyes!" 

"Dang, you're right, Cozy!" the three fillies exclaimed, "And there's no sign of Snips or Snails using their magic!"

Cheerilee trotted up to Cozy Glow, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. "What's all this nonsense about ghosts? Ghosts have never been proven, girls."

Apple Bloom stared at Cheerilee in horror. Her friends waved their hooves in front of her to bring her back to Equestria, but it was no use. "Then who are those two familiar figures standing in the middle of the room? They're here for me, so they must be related to me in some way." 

Cheerilee gasped. "Bright Mac and Pear Butter!" 

"You see them, Miss Cheerilee?" Apple Bloom said, "Oh, I can't believe my parents are haunting the school, searching for their youngest daughter who was born right before their death! That means something!" 

Long-Lost Reunion Lyrics 

Apple Bloom: Something's ahoof, I can feel it
I sense something, can you hear it? 
Can you see it? 

Mom and Dad, is this a sign 
That you're still out there 
In this life of mine? 

Oh how I've missed you so
More than you'll ever know 
I can't hug you, but anyway
Here I go 

Happy Nightmare Night 
You've come back 
And I don't know whether to feel 
Excitement or fright

I'm discoverin' something, I can feel it in my grasp 
Yet you're ghosts
Something I can't quite clasp 

Could this be 
The long-lost reunion 
I've always waited for? 

Oh
Could this be? 

I turn around and see
You're everywhere 
I can't get rid of you 
And I don't know what to do 

Then you hold me in your hooves 
Tell me everything's OK 
With your kind ghostly whispers 
Making me have the shivers 

Oh, should I be
Happy or afraid? 
It's my call
Living most of my life in a crusade
It's my choice whether I'm excited or afraid

I admit, this encounter gives me the chills 
Yet filled with many excitable thrills

I think I like this long-lost reunion 
It shows that they love me
And wanna see how I'm doin' in school

I think I like this long-lost reunion 
Forget about the delusion 
Confusion

I think I like this
I think I like this
I think I like this

Long-lost reunion!
