After the CHS Halloween concert, the Ninjas, Rainbooms, and Rock n’Beats decided to spend the rest of Halloween night trick or treating. It was the Rock n’Beats way of apologizing to Sweetheart for making fun of her and calling her a scaredy-cat. Everyone had gone as the thing they had dressed up as to scare the Ninjas and Rock N Beats. While they had their own costumes.
Leo was dressed as Captain Ryan. Donnie was dressed as a medieval minstrel. Mikey was dressed as a sea sponge. And Raph was dressed in his larping costume. April was dressed like one of the turtles and even wore a yellow mask. Casey was dressed as Frankenstein. Karai was dressed like Shredder. Keno was dressed like a surfer. Zach was dressed as a cowboy. And Caitlyn was dressed as a witch.
Sunset was dressed like a vampire. Twilight was dressed as her idol Rosette Nebula. Fluttershy was dressed as a pony. Pinkie was dressed as a disco skater. Applejack was dressed as a lion. Rarity was dressed in a beautiful pink princess dress. Rainbow Dash was dressed as an astronaut.
Apple Bloom was a platypus. Sweetie Belle was in an Austrian dress, complete with a wig and makeup. And Scootaloo was a werewolf.
Lancer was Daring Do. The Note Sisters were dressed as music notes. Melody was dressed as a singer in a magenta dress and big pink hair. Sweetheart was a princess. Ace was a basketball player. Patch was a clown. Clover was a disco dancer like Pinkie. And Logan was dressed like Van Helsin.
Flash was a mummy. Sandalwood was a skeleton. And Micro Chips was dressed as his secret DJ alter ego MC Dexefex.
And Spike was in his hip hop outfit.
“Oh yeah! Trick or treating Ninja style!” Mikey declared.
“Yay!” The CMCs cheered.
“I’m glad you guys decided to come with us.” Sweetheart smiled.
“Well while your friends are doing this as a apology to you for the whole scaredy-cat thing, we all agreed it be nice to join in on the fun.” Sunset explained.
“Though I did tried to trick Raph into wearing a fairy costume” whispered Mikey, only to be clonked by Raph.
“Besides, we shouldn’t let good costumes go to waste.” Carter motioned to himself and everyone who helped with Sweethearts scare.
“Eyup.” Big Mac agreed.
"Though why you dressed as Shredder, Karai?" Casey raised a brow.
"No reason. I figured since everybody dresses as scary people, Shredder would be no different." The former bad ninja grinned.
"Well, I think you wear it better than he did." April commented.
"I'll say." Flash agreed.
"Thank you guys."
“Well let the Halloween fun begin!” Pinkie declared.
Just then, they heard the sound of crying and spotted a group of kids looking sad. Four of them was Lily Pad and her friends, Billy, Sally, and Johnny.
"Lily?" Pinkie and Rarity said in surprise, as the whole group came over.
"Darlings, whatever is the matter?" Rarity asked.
"These big bullies stole all our candy!" Lily said, between sobs.
"WHAT?!" Raph, Casey, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Sapphire, and Angel exclaimed.
"Oh, no!" Fluttershy, Wallflower, Sweetheart, and Sweetie Belle cried.
"What happened?" Leo asked Lily's mother.
"We were all walking along, going to the next house on our trick or treat route," Lily's mother began.
"When these thugs came out of nowhere and snatched the kids' candy bags, right out of their
hands!" Billy's mother continued.
"Which way did they go?!" Raph asked, gripping his battle axe.
"They went that way, into the woods," Johnny and Sally's mother pointed.
"Don't worry, we'll get your candy back," April promised.
"You will?" Sally asked.
"You bet we will," Angel said.
And they all headed off.
--------
Meanwhile, in the woods, the Purple Nightmares were laughing to themselves as they held out the kids' candy bags.
"Like taking candy from a baby," Crunch Bar said to her fellow Nightmares. "Literally!"
"I love Halloween!" Rift laughed.
"Perfect time of the year to steal unsuspecting kids' candy!" Stryke said.
"Yeah, and they can't do anything about it either!" Clubs chuckled.
What none of them knew was that the Ninjas were all watching them from some bushes and trees.
"The Purple Nightmares!" Zach frowned.
"And I thought those varmints couldn't sink any lower!" Applejack said.
"Hey!" Switchblade spoke up to the Nightmares. "I know a place where no one will think to look for us."
"Lead the way," Crunch Bar said, and the Nightmares ran off.
"Come on, everyone," Leo said. "Let's see where they’re going."
And the group snuck after them. They followed the Nightmares through the woods until they came to an old abandoned house.
“Nobody will ever think about looking here!” Switchblade laughed.
The Purple Nightmares all entered, unaware that a bunch of eyes were watching them.
“An abandoned house. How original.” Caitlyn trolled.
“So how we gonna get the kids’ candy back?” Keno asked Leo.
“By showing them the ‘trick’ in trick or treat.’”
In side the house, the Nightmares made themselves comfortable.
"This place is nice, Switchblade," Peirce said, as she glanced around.
"Yep," Switchblade replied. "Although, they say this house is haunted."
"Haunted?!" Rift and Clubs exclaimed.
"Yeah," Switchblade explained. "The owner build this place over an ancient graveyard, upsetting the spirits. Then one Halloween night, the owner disappeared! As did anyone else who dared to move in. Some say, it was the restless spirits, seeking revenge! But I never believed in that junk!"
"Yeah," Stryke laughed. "As if anyone would believe in ghosts!"
Unknown to them, a couple party dudes watched in the shadows.
“Boy are they gonna get it.” Whispered Pinkie.
“They ain’t gonna get away with it, curesty of us meddling ninjas.” Grinned Mikey.
Just then, a high coo was heard, Getting the Nightmares’ attention.
"What was that?" Rift asked.
"You don't think it was a ghost?!" Clubs asked nervously.
"No, you dim wit!" Stryke said. "Let's split up and find whatever or whoever made that noise, and beat the snot out of them!" She got out her crowbar.
Then the Nightmares split up while Mikey and Pinkie spoke into their phones.
"They took the bait!" Pinkie said.
"And they're heading your way dudes," Mikey added.
Rift looked around in the billiards room with a chain.
“Alright, whoever you are, you pick the wrong people to trick!” He looked around but didn’t find anyone.
“Okay! Funs over! Make it easy on yourselves and come out! And maybe if I’m still in a good mood, I can share some candy I -picked up.” He called.
“Get. Out!” Said a spooky voice.
Rift began to feel a little scared. He began to back up then suddenly he bumped into something. He looked to see a figure in black.
“Nice costume.” Rift scoffed as he took off the hat, but the figures face gave him the shivers.
“Now you will face.... the ghost of the Rat King!” The figure laughed evilly.
Rift ran screaming only to be face to face with Frankenstein and what appeared to be a dwarf who roared at him, causing him to change direction. Then, out from nowhere, appeared a witch with green skin cackling terror. Rift turned before he was smacked in face, rendering him unconscious.
The one who knocked him out was Zach. “ you’re a natural, Sis." He told Caitlyn.
“Thanks. Gotta hand it to the make up kit Juniper let me borrow.” Caitlyn said looking at a mirror.
“That’s one down.” Carter pointed, peeking from out of his Rat King disguise.
“Let’s hope the others get the other three.” Raph nodded.
“Hopefully, the other Nightmares will be as easily scared.” Casey chuckled.
---------
Clubs crept up the stairs, with a flashlight in one hand, and his spiked club in the other. Soon he came to a hallway with a line of doors. Some of them were open. Just then, something rushed past him in the shadows.
"What's that?!" Clubs whipped around, shining the flashlight. He pointed it one way and another. But there was nothing there but the hallway and stairs. "This place is giving me the creeps!" Then he heard a door creek turned around and saw a door slowly crack open. "Is someone in there?!" He demanded. "If your trying to scare me, then your asking for a world of pain!"
Clubs opened the door walked into a bedroom. Then suddenly, the door closed by itself, right behind him.
"What the? Hey, let me out!" He banged on the door, but it wouldn't open. Then he heard a sound and turned toward a closet, that was opened just a crack. Clubs gripped his club and stalked toward the closet. "Whoever's in there, your about to get-" he threw open the door and dropped his his club in horror.
Inside the closet was what looked like a old hag wearing a scary oni mask. "Hi!" It said, creepily.
Clubs yelped and backed onto the bed.
"Comfy, isn't it?"
Clubs shakingly turned his head to see a female vampire laying right next to him, grinning her sharp teeth. Clubs jumped from the bed and rammed against the door two times, but it didn't open. So he backed up and charged at the door, only for to suddenly open and he ran into some big and slimy. He looked up and saw it was a smudge-like blob. Clubs screamed and ran away, hiding inside a closet.
"Few!" Clubs sighed with relief. "Those monsters will never find me in here."
"No," said a voice, as three pairs of eyes opened all around him. "But we have..."
Clubs turned on his flashlight, revealing three scary female creatures with wings and sharp teeth.
He burst out screaming and ran to open another door, only to see a lion. He screamed and opened another door, this time it was mummy and a skeleton. He opened another door and saw a small figure wearing a trench coat and aiming a crossbow. He opened one last one to find a giant cockroach.
Clubs screamed and backed away as the monsters came out and closed in on him. "You-you monsters stay back!" He warned in fear, then felt someone tap him from behind. He turned around and met with a foot to the face and was knocked out by Twilight.
"Well, that'll teach you to steal candy from little kids!" She said as Flash, Sandalwood, Gabby, Vern, Shini, Sunset, Zephyr, Sapphire, Juniper, Wallflower, Applejack, and Logan gathered around the downed Nightmare.
"One down," Zephyr said, taking off his costume's head.
"And two more to go!" Flash finished.
--------
Strykes entered a library looking around. When suddenly she heard footsteps behind him. When she looked around, she didn’t find anyone. She hid behind a corner to see the CMCs hiding in a closet.
“Heh. A couple more kiddies to rob.” She smirked.
she then snuck up to the door and then quickly opened the door.
“SurpriAAAAAAH!” Strykes was face to face with not the three girls but a red living corpse that roared at him. It caused her to scream and back away. As she backed away, she heard the sound of wailing and evil laughter. She then noticed another figure wearing a cloak walking up to him. When she got closer, the figure revealed his face resembling a jack o lantern laughing maniacally. Strykes screamed so much she tried to run only to be smacked by a pole, rendering him unconscious.
Out from the shadows came out April and Donnie.
“Nice touch, Micro Chips.” April thumbed up as the cloaked figure revealed to be the nerd.
“Thanks. Just a little something I whipped up for a little fun.” He revealed the visor producing the jack o lantern face. Out from the shadows emerged Sweetheart, Melody, and Half note.
“Now that was fun.” Melody smiled as she and Sweetheart high fived.
“That should just leave one more nightmare.” Applebloom smiled.
“Let’s see if Leo and his group need help.” Scootaloo suggested.
“Eyup.” Big Mac nodded.
-------
Crunch Bar, Pierce, and Switchblade were searching near a large room that had a stage.
"What's a stage doing in an old abandoned house?" Pierce asked.
"The owner was a performer," Switchblade explained. "When he would invite guests over, he'd always do a show for them or two."
"Guys, the others aren't answering their cellphones," Crunch Bar said. "I think something's up?"
Then before her fellow gang members could respond, they heard piano music. Then the stage curtains opened up to reveal Mikey, Pinkie, Clover, Sweet Note, and Patch doing a song and dance number, while Leo played a piano.
During the instrumental break, they began saying corny jokes.
"Tell me, Clover," Patch said. "What is it when an elephant sits on your fence?"
"I wouldn't know, Patch?" Clover replied.
"Time to get a new fence!" Patch joked.
"Well what time is it when an elephant sits on your house?" Clover asked.
"Time to get a new house?" Patch guessed.
"No, time to get a new elephant!" Clover joked.
Mikey and Pinkie danced up next.
"Knock-knock, Pinkie," Mikey said.
"Who's there?" Pinkie asked.
"Amos," Mikey stated.
"Amos who?" Pinkie questioned.
"A moskiedo just bit me!" Mikey laughed.
"Knock-knock, Mikey," Pinkie said.
"Who's there now?" Mikey asked.
"Andy," Pinkie stated.
"Andy who?" Mikey questioned.
"And he just bit me again!" Pinkie laughed.
After Maud sang, they finished the rest of their song.
"Isn't that funny?" They all sang together, finishing the song.
"No, it isn't that funny!" The three Nightmares exclaimed in unison.
"And now we're gonna show you just how un-funny, you really are!" Crunch Bar threatened, as she, Pierce, and Switchblade stalked toward them.
Only for the grinning ninjas to close the curtain, before they came any closer.
The three Nightmares followed to them back stage.
“You’re all gonna be sorry for messing with us!” Switchblade bellowed.
When they flashed their flashlights, they came in contact with the Squirrelenoid.
“What is that thing?” Cried Crunch Bar.
The three tried to back out, but were cut off by the Wolfatizer bros.
“This place really is haunted!” Shivered Perice as they see witches, spooks, and other creatures.
“I ain’t afraid. I AINT AFRAID OF NO MONSTER OR GHOSTS!” Switchblade shouted in denial.
“Then stop me if you’ve heard this one!” The Nightmares looked to see the Laughing Lunatic
take stage. “Six very naughty punks enter a spooky house.”
“And?” Asked a vampire.
“And...and we SCARE them of course!”
“Oh NOW you tell a funny joke!” The vampire rolled her eyes before hissing at the Purple Nightmares, who back away in fright.
They turned only to face a couple zombies who growled. “BROOOOOOWNIEEEE!”
As the monsters corner the purple Nightmares, the voice of the Rat King could be heard all over. “Let this be a lesson to all who be naughty on Halloween! If you dare Trick or treaaaaat....”
Suddenly a hand appeared before Switchblade extending blades as Karai whispered evilly. “Never. Steal. Treats. From. Kids.”
The three Nightmares ran only to get tripped by Clover, Patch, and Sweet Note, then got knocked out by Leo, Mikey, and Pinkie.
The three Nightmares got up and ran away as fast as they could. Rift, Clubs, and Stryke each woke up and ran too. All the ran into the forer and crashed into each other. Then they heard a creaking sound of footsteps coming their way.
"Oh no!" Stryke whimpered.
"Now what?!" Clubs asked in worry.
They all shone their flashlights on a big figure, only to discover that it was a big butter yellow pony with a light pink mane.
"Oh!" Crunch Bar sighed in relief. "It's just a big horse."
"For a moment there, I thought it was gonna be another scary thing!" Rift chuckled.
But he had spoken too soon, as the pony's head came off and out popped a green squid monster with one four eyes! The Purple Nightmares screamed and broke down the door as they fled from the house.
The Turtles, Allies, Rainbooms, Wondercolts, CMC, and Rock N Beats walked up laughing.
"Nice one, Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash chuckled.
"You sure showed those Nightmares!" Indigo added.
Fluttershy took off her squid monster mask. "I have my moments.”
“And I believe these are what they took from those youngins.” Granny Smith grinned as she and the CMCs walked up with the stolen candy bags.
“Oh yeah! Mission accomplished!” Zach cheered as he and Carter high fived.
“Let’s get these back to the kids.” Leo smiled.
“And I know something that’ll put smiles on their faces.” Granny Smith pulled out a couple bars all shrink wrapped. “Some Sweet Apple Acres Apple fudge bars.”
“They’ll love those.” Applebloom nodded as she and her friends helped put them each in a trick or treat bag.
“Eyup.” Big Mac agreed.
--------
Later, the kids and their parents were sitting sadly on some benches, when they heard Sour Sweet clear her throat.
"We believe these belong to you," she said, as the ninjas held out their stolen candy bags.
Lily Pad gasped in joy, "Our candy!"
"You got it back!" Sally exclaimed.
"Thank you!" All the kids cheered, hugging all the ninjas.
"Aww, your welcome, little dudes," Mikey said.
As the ninjas all turned to leave, Lily's mother called out, "Wait! Would you all like to join us
on our trick or treat route?"
"Please!" Lily Pad begged.
The Ninjas all looked at each other before they smiled.
"We'd love too," Leo said.
"Yeah!" The kids cheered.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Pinkie said.
"Let's go trick or treating!" Lemon Zest exclaimed.
"Booyakasha!" Mikey cried.
"Booyakasha!" All the kids cheered along.
As they continued trick or treating, Melody and Sweetheart walked side by side.
“Looks like my little scare helped saved Halloween.” Sweetheart smiled.
“Still, I’m sorry I made fun of you and called you a scaredy-cat.” Melody sighed.
“It’s okay. Part of it was my fault. I tried to hide my fear, only to make it worse.” Sweetheart said. “Besides, if you didn't make fun of me, I wouldn’t have done all that. Then these guys would’ve probably have had the worse Halloween ever.”
“Glad that turned out for the best.” Melody smiled. “And you know what? I learned a valuable lesson. Everyone is scared of something.”
“I learned something too.” Sweetheart pointed. “We do get scared sometimes. But if we’re not afraid to tell each other, then that means we’re quite brave too.”
Melody smiled as the two gave each other a big hug. Leo and Twilight looked at the two and smiled. As they broke, Ace called out to them.
“Hey come on! The next house has popcorn balls!”
“Race ya!” Melody sprinted. Sweetheart smiled and wasn’t far behind.
Happy Halloween!
