This time she'll celebrate her birthday at her home with her parents and her very best friend, Dinky. She even had hopes that she'll receive many wonderful gifts from her friends and her parents too... Everything was ready and well prepared so she is now waiting for her friends to come. She can't wait to start her birthday party as she had already imagined it the whole situation. Finally, her friends and including her best friend, Dinky has arrived and soon after that, they started the party. After they had sung birthday songs to Colgate, she makes a wish and blows out the candles. Colgate’s exciting moment has come... the time when she's going to open all the presents of her friends and her parents gave her. She was completely opening all the presents until the very last two presents which her parents and Dinky has given her. With her very happy face she openeds it up. To her surprised and excitement, she was so delighted when she gets a dress she had always wanted for all this time. She smiled happily and ran to her parents for a hug. Then it was her best friend’s Dinky’s present was next... Dinky handed the present to her as Colgate smiled at her and quickly open it. Another surprise struck Colgate again, as she saw the most beautiful doll her eyes laid upon... as she lifts it up and takes a look at the doll carefully, the doll was indeed very beautiful with her long silky black mane, exactly like a filly hair and a pair of red cheeks and very beautiful smile with dimple on it. The doll even wore a red dress with laces on the bottom of the dress which make the doll look so elegant and cute. She looks at Dinky and told her that it was the most beautiful doll she ever had. "Dinky, where did you buy this doll? It was so beautiful and I love it very much, thank you very much" Colgate gave Dinky a hug. "You're certainly welcome and I'm glad you like the doll very much. Actually I bought the doll from one of the antique shop.” Dinky said… “It was very old antique shop but inside, all the things are very tidy and neat and displayed well. I was shopping with my mother and exactly at the moment I saw the doll and asked my mother to buy it for your coming birthday. Maybe it was quite old stuff but it still looks brand new and I found it to be cheaper from the other dolls too." Colgate pick the doll up and she said to Dinky that she'll take good care of the doll and even gave the doll by the name of Angelica. So, the party went on with lots of lots of laughter and cheerful games occurred until finally the party had ended. Dinky was the last to go home when her mother came to pick her up. After saying goodbye, Colgate's mother told her to take a bath, so she went up to her room. She then put her new dress in the cupboard and Angelica on the bed. After a nice bath, she came out of the bath room, but instead of seeing the same image earlier... she suddenly saw Angelica lying on the floor. She thought to her self that maybe that she didn't put Angelica in the right place so she fell down the floor. She quickly picks her up and plays with Angelica. She even talk to Angelica that she will take good care of her and smiled at her. When Colgate was quite tired after playing with Angelica and almost doze off, she put her on the side of her bed and sleeps. The next morning, when she wakes up to prepare herself to go to school, she saw Angelica was not her bedside but on her dressing chair. She was curious... she was very sure that she placed her next to her bedside. She then asked her mother whether she's the one who placed Angelica to the dressing chair, but her mother says it was not her and she didn't even enter her room nor trying to move her doll. Without thinking much, Colgate just ignored it and went to school. Later that day, Colgate just came back from school and kiss her mother a while and went up straight to her room. When she opens the door, Colgate suddenly screams, her mother was shocked and quickly went up to see what’s happening. To her surprise, she saw her daughter's room was in a mess and all Colgate’s clothes were thrown out from the cupboard. Colgate was frustrated when she sees everything was in a big mess. The only thing that still stay the same is her doll... Angelica. She's still sitting on the dressing chair. Thanks to the big mess, Colgate and her mother spent their time to clean up the room until her mother let out a scream... That she forgot to cook dinner for tonight.... Colgate, then tidy up her bed and she took a glance at Angelica. She was somehow feeling angry, curious and scared. It had never happened like this before. Then suddenly, she hears a giggling from behind. Colgate quickly turned around and investigates the sound’s whereabouts....to her shock... It came from... Angelica. Maya doesn't want to think much about it and ran downstairs. After that weird incident occurred, strange things started to happen. The T.V was turning on, in the middle of the night. When Colgate's parents came down to check and about to turn off the TV, Colgate's mother was shock when she saw Angelica was on the sofa. She turns off the TV and takes the doll to Colgate's room. Her parents thought it was Colgate the one who had forgotten to turn off and left her doll there. They placed Angelica next to Colgate and they went back to her room. Around 3:30AM, Colgate suddenly woke up and let out screams and cries uncontrollably. Her mother quickly went to her room and hugs her daughter. She then asked her what was bothering her and Colgate said that someone was sitting on her body making her hard to breath. She even said that she saw Angelica came to life and was jumping around on her bed. Until she let out a scream, then Angelica drops to the floor. Her mother tries to comfort her and put her to sleep again. The next morning, Colgate's mother had told her husband about what happened last night and she even told that she's very suspicious about the doll. Ever since Colgate had gotten the doll, strange things started to happen especially to Colgate... finally they decided to bring the doll to the antique shop where Dinky had bought it in the first place. Once they reach the shop, they looked for the shop owner and saw him cleaning the shelves. Without hesitantly, Colgate's mother asks the shop owner about the whereabouts of the doll. The shop owner said that he didn't even know that the doll was being sold in the shop but he remembered that there's one little girl and her mother had bought the doll. But he didn't recall that he ever stock this doll before, so he simply created a price for them. He even made sure that he did not stock the doll even though he sells antique items. What Colgate's parents just kept a blank expression and felt disappointed. So their last hope is to find a medium...or at this case Zecora. When they reached to the Zecora’s house, they quickly gave the doll to Zecora and told her about all the incidents. Then the medium told them to not worry and let him settled the problem. They look at the medium holding the doll and mumbling on it. Suddenly, everything shook and they saw the doll on the mediums hand was shaking violently. The medium was grabbing the doll tightly and Colgate's parents were shocked to hear screams and cry coming from the doll itself! They even heard the doll spoke! "Let me go!! Let me go!!" "You can't kill me easily!!" "I'm the strongest!!" "I want to kill the little pony" "I want her body". All these words came from the doll and they feared that this is the thing that's going to kill their daughter... Colgate’s parents just ran to a corner, hugged each other and prayed. it was a violent atmosphere and Zecora was flung to the other side, after a minute of strugling Zecora finally managed to grab the doll and chants more loudly until the doll's head had came off from its body. Colgate's parents can even see a big black mist floating in the air... then Zecora quickly used dog's blood to banish the mist. Finally, they can hear the mist had formed a frightening face mourning and speaking in the pain "This is not over!!" "I will haunt you back!!” Then the black mist has disappeared. Everything was ended up so messy that Zecora can't stand up steadily after the big fight with the ghost. ZEcora then told them to sit down and decided to tell them everything. Zecora said that there was a spirit trapped in the doll's body and she can't rest in peace. Zecora even saw the vision of the dead little filly whom had been bullied all too much. She ran to the roof top to keep away from them. But when she was about to come down, she accidentally slipped and fell to her death. When she died, she was bringing the doll along, the doll was the one Colgate had. So, she has been searching and waiting for the right time for her revenge and even tempt to take over somepony's body. So, the dead girl has chosen Colgate. Thank Celestia that the dead pony did not harm her entire family yet. As they thank Zecora and were about to leave, Zecora gave them a Talisman for each of them and their daughter to keep away evil things on them. When they finally reached home, Colgate quickly hug her parents and even ask them where her doll Angelica went. They have no choice but to say that the doll's arm has broken and they promised her will buy her a new doll.To their surprise, she didn't play a tantrum with them, instead she just said a simple okay. They had promised each other not to tell their daughter about what had happened to the doll... Nor to anypony....
