Fuzzy Legs,
do you think you could secure those windows?
And you'll alert me if anything scary comes close to the cottage?
Oh, who am I kidding?
When something scary comes close to the cottage.
Please tell me my hiding place is ready?
Oh, look.
You filled it with everything I need to survive this awful night.
Thank you.
Thank you all.
Now I don't have to step a hoof outside
until this whole thing is over.
Oh no.
You don't have any carrots?
Do you have any other fresh veggies you may enjoy?
Or maybe some hay?
But,
that means I'll need to go out.
On Nightmare Night!
Nightmare Night!
What a fright!
Gimme something sweet to bite!
Nightmare Night!
What a fright!
Gimme something sweet to bite!
Fluttershy?
What are you doin' out and about?
It's Nightmare Night, remember?
How can I forget.
I don't suppose I can borrow a few pieces of hay from you?
I forgot to stock up on food for Angel and
you do seem to have quite a lot.
We need it for the Apple Family Haunted Maze!
The scariest maze that there ever was!
Who knows what lurks inside?
I'm sure I don't.
Is it the mummified pony that just bleed down at ya?
I don't know.
Is it?
And what's that crunching sound beneath your hooves?
Maybe it's the bones of ponies that didn't make it out alive!
Bones?
And are those peeled grapes,
or a thosaund slimy eyeballs, staring at you from beyong the grave?
Please tell me they're the grapes.
Oh, I'll never tell.
I wonder what got stuck in her craw.
Twilight?
Hello?
You think it's scary now?
Just wait until it's done.
That's okay.
I'll take your word for it.
Hey, wait a minute.
It's Nightmare Night!
And you're here and not hold up in your cottage.
Does that's means I think it means?!
That I foolishly forgot to stock up on food for Angel
and had to go out to get him some but got spooked in town
so I came here hoping that Twilight has some lettuce I could give him.
Oh. I thought maybe you decided to come out with us tonight.
Goodness no!
I couldn't be out tonight.
I just couldn't.
Technically speaking you already are out right now.
I guess that is true.
So, what if you stayed out a little longer with your friends?
I know they'll be super excited!
You think so?
You would make them so happy if you joined in!
They wouldn't believe their own eyes!
Come on, Fluttershy.
What do you say?
And then,
it got very, very quiet.
And suddenly, they realized:
the baloons had never been inflated!
Did I ever tell you
about the night that the mannequin came to life?
And haunted all the costumes.
What happened?
I just told you, darling.
The mannequin came to life.
Haunted all of the costumes.
Hi, everypony.
Fluttershy, what are you doing here?
Is everything okay?
Everything is fine.
In fact, it's more than fine.
I've decided to join you on Nightmare Night festivities.
Seriously? You? Out? Tonight?
Every Nightmare Night I shut myself in my cottage
and refuse to come out until morning.
But it's just like I was afraid to sing in front of anypony.
If hadn't gave it a try,
I never would have found how much I enjoy it.
And we would've missed out on how great you sound.
Fluttershy, with us on Nightmare Night?
Why, that's positively the most wonderful news I've heard in ages!
You could get dressed up in costumes with us,
then play Nightmare Night games with us,
and eat candy apples with us!
Don't forget the best part:
going through my family scare maze!
Oh, right.
The maze.
Only if you are up for it.
I am.
I'm ready to take on Nightmare Night.
Just practicing.
Mummy?
No.
Headless pony?
No.
Vampire fruitbat?
Definitely no.
You see, Fluttershy,
the beauty of Nightmare Night is
that you don't have to dress up as something scary.
Yes.
This one would look gorgeous on you.
Period costumes are all the rage this year.
What? Not good?
What if we encounter something terrifying and need to get away quickly,
all these layers can slow me down or worse…
make me trip!
I never consider that.
Never fear!
Now this is a real stunner.
I call it… Masquerade!
Just a simple black dress underneath,
but with this ornately decorated mask!
Mask?
No?
They can just be so difficult to see out of.
Yes, but… this one has eyeholes.
What about being able to see what's on the left or right of me?
I suppose your vision would be somewhat obscured.
It's your first Nightmare Night out
and about and we do want you to be comfortable.
What if I just wear the dress?
Sure, dear…
That's…
fine.
That's so plain, it's frightening.
Oh, my, look at all of you!
My costumes fit you to a "T"!
We're gonna have the best time!
Fluttershy,
where's your costume?
I'm wearing it.
I get it!
You're a robber, escaping into the night!
You're a ninja, escaping into the night!
You're black licorice escaping into the night!
Close.
I'm going to a masquerade ball.
Without the mask.
That's great! Isn't it great?
So creative!
I figured I'd save the really scary games for next year.
when Fluttershy's more used to it
Round and round and round you go,
where you stop nopony knows!
Okay… Go!
Good luck beating that, Fluttershy!
Well, um,
it's just that if I'm blindfolded and
somepony would leap out in front of me,
I'd never have the chance to defend myself.
That's fine, darling.
You don't have to do anything you don't want to.
We're just glad you're here.
We don't have to finish that game.
I have another one I know you'll love!
Bobbing for apples!
Fluttershy, what's wrong?
It's just that, um,
what happens if when my head is deep down in the water,
some kind of scary monster appears,
how would I even hear it to know I was under attack?
Time for candy!
It is?
I made candy bags!
Each bag has been made with each of you in mind,
complete with each of your favorite candies.
Awesome!
Here, take it, take it!
What are you waiting for?
Well, it's just…
What if when I'm eating one of these chewy taffies,
my mouth becomes glued shut and I can't scream for help?
Oh, goodness.
We've only just started to celebrate Nightmare Night together,
And I'm already taking all the fun out of it, aren't I?
You not taking out all the fun!
Just like ninety per…
Some of it.
I really wanna do this.
But…
there's just so many things that terrify me about tonight.
I couldn't possibly predict what might upset me.
Unless…
You were the one doing the scaring!
Her?
Scaring us?
You're being serious…
The thing you hate is being scared,
But if you're the one doing the scaring, then…
Then I can help you all have fun
And I can still be a part of Nightmare Night.
So, you like that idea?
I think I do!
And I don't wanna get ahead of myself.
But I think I have the perfect idea for how I'm gonna do it.
Really?
This is so exciting!
Meet me at my cottage in an hour.
I'm excited to see everypony soon!
Welcome to Fluttershy's tea party.
Did she just said tea party?
It sounds like it's a… scary tea party?
Have a seat.
Don't be scared of what awaits you.
Go on, pass the sugar.
Oh no, there is none
You're a terrible host.
Rarity, put your coat on.
Why would I do that?
You need to cover up,
Because no one has complemented your dress!
Pinkie Pie, look to your left,
and ask your best friend to pass cucumber sandwiches.
Huh? I can't! There isn't anypony there!
That's right, because she didn't care to show up!
What?
A friend that didn't come through
that must scare you to the core!
Quick! Everypony look behind you!
What are those?
They are unplanned guests
your worst nightmare!
You don't have enough food for them!
Oh no! There's a tiny kitten that needs a home!
But you are overscheduled right now.
You don't have time to help!
I said — you don't have time to help!
This should appear to scare you!
Why don't you look terrified?
You showed up to a party and everypony was extremely dissapointed in you.
Can you imagine anything more upsetting?
It was a realy good try, darling, but the scares at Nightnare Night are of entirely different nature!
It was really creative, though.
I never would have thought
of this!
I'm just not cut out for this
Just go on without me.
Oh no! We couldn't possibly…
You have to!
This is the night you look forward to all year.
We could… stay here!
It's okay. I really want you all to have fun!
This is how I spend every Nightmare Night.
Please,
go.
I'll be fine.
It's funny.
I actually thought she had an idea for something really scary for a second there.
She definitely tried her hardest.
I did tried my hardest.
Or maybe not.
I suppose I could've gone with something a bit scarier.
You are right! I've been taking baby steps.
I think it's time for grown up ones!
I don't suppose you have any ideas how I can do that?
Everypony is lining up for the Corn Maze y'all, let's go!
Yeah! I can't believe we are finally doing this!
It's a good thing Fluttershy isn't here,
because she would never be able to handle this!
What?
is
that
sound
It looks like…
bones!
Looks like a bunch of dry sticks painted white to me.
Hey! Try to keep up the illusion, would ya?
Whoa! What was that?
Don't you know?
Of course I do.
It was a…
Fluttershy had a point for the layers on the dress!
What is this?
Is it a tunnel? Where does it lead?
Which way are we supposed to go now?
I don't know!
I don't know what's going on!
What do you mean?
Didn't you help plan this?
There's Granny Smith!
Not that I was ever scared, 'cause I wasn't.
I'm a pretty good actress when I wanna be.
Granny?
Applejack,
didn't you know about any of this?
All right.
I gotta admit I didn't know about any of this, but…
Maybe they're just trying to make it interesting for me, too?
I'm sure Granny Smith or Big Mac is behind this.
Are those peeled grapes or eyeballs
starin' at you from beyond the grave?
Eeeup!
That's what we were supposed to do!
I don't know why we are down here.
This is really scaring me now!
How did that get down here?
Run!
I can't see!
I can barely move!
It's like glue!
I'm so, so sorry!
Can you ever forgive me?
Fluttershy?
It was you the whole time?
I can't believe it!
That. Was.
The best thing ever!!!
It was way more terrifying than the most
terrifying thing I could've thought of!
You had nightmared the scariest part of the Corn Maze.
How did you do all this?
After you left I realized
that I wasn't ready to give up on Nightmare Night.
So I asked Granny Smith if I could try to make the Maze
even scarier for my friends.
You came up with all of this?
I had some help.
Angel was this scary figure that kept,
scurrying after you in the Maze.
Fuzzy Legs made the sticky wall that made it
difficult for you to see and move.
And, of course,
Hairy was the especially scary monster.
Wow.
That was inspired.
You have to do this every year!
Every year!
We… could celebrate Nightmare Night together every year,
but… the truth is I really don't want to.
You don't?
But you've done it.
You found a way that we could all have a fabulous time together.
Yes, but
I've also realized something.
You all may love Nightmare Night,
and I may be good at being a part of it,
but it's no fun for me to see my friends feel like they're in danger,
even I know they're not.
I really don't like it.
It's just… not my cup of tea.
Spo-o-o-oky tea?
No. Just regular tea.
We do lots of fun things together,
but I'm afraid this just isn't gonna be one of them.
Actually, I'm not afraid.
I'm perfectly fine with it.
Then, we are too.
I don't to know why I doubted myself for a second.
Now this is what I call
a perfect Nightmare Night.
