We all walked through the now abounded Canterlogic factory the lights were out and a verity of tools littered the floor "Hey, Pipp?" asked Sunny "Remind me why we are in here again" "Yeah, not that it isn't totally cool to be in a freaky empty building, but it is kinda freaky. And empty!" said Izzy her voice echoed "See?! I didn't even mean to do that!" said Izzy "But that's why I love it! It's thrilling! Can't you just feel the spoooooky energy in here?" said Pipp "Don't worry you two I'll protect you" I said Hitch hit something with his hooves cause him to jump in fright "This is ridiculous. I've been inside Canterlogic millions of times. There's nothing to be afraid of" said Hitch Sunny laughed "I think Pipp disagrees" she said "Well, Pipp has always had a love of spooky things. She once convinced our mom that an entire wing of the castle was being haunted by royal ghosts. Mom still trots the long way around it" said Zipp "Imagine what kind of terrors lurk in all these mysteeeeerious corners" said Pipp "I can't believe we haven't thought about this old factory since Sprout and his family closed it down" said Sunny "Well I never liked this place it was a place that made you distrust the other races even more" I said "There's so much space in this place! Place! Place! Place! That time it was me" said Izzy echoing her voice "It's like we all just forgot it existed" said Hitch "Because we never need it" I said "What if we forgot about it because the ghosts wanted us to?!" said Pipp she then shine a light under her chin "Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! I have shivers!" she said "Here we go again" groan Zipp "Is she always like this about spooky stuff?" I whispered to Zipp "Pretty much get use to it lover boy" "This is just an old building made of bricks and concrete. Besides, even if it weren't, I'm not afraid of no ghosts!" said Hitch a mouse squeaked Hitch gasped and screamed "What was that?!" he asked "Not afraid, huh?" giggle Pipp "How are you all so calm?!" Hitch asked us "Oh, I'm not. This is just my nervous smile. It looks a lot like my happy smile. And also my unhappy smile" said Izzy "Hmm. Now that Canterlogic is gone, what's gonna happen to this building?" asked Zipp "Let's burn it to the ground" I said "NO!" they all yelled "Wouldn't it be super if it became something so fun-tastic that everypony wanted to hang out here?" said Izzy "Izzy's right!" said Sunny "I am. Wait. I am?" questioned Izzy "Yes! We should turn this old factory into something new for the whole community!" said Sunny "Like the garden?" I asked "This can be the biggest uni-cycling project I've ever done! And you ponies can help!" "Yeah, it does have potential. Maybe we can turn this place into an indoor skate park" said Zipp "Or a theatre-slash-concert hall!" said Pipp "Now we're talking! Or singiiiiing!" said Izzy "Or a community centre for official town hall meetings!" said Hitch "These are all great ideas, and I love them! But how about we ask the townsponies, too? That way, our new space will be exactly what everypony wants!" said Sunny "Brill idea, Sunny! And while you two do that, Hitch, Zipp, Xavier and I will clear the building of all its ghosties and spirits, etcetera. Really cleanse the energies, you know?" said Pipp "Perfect!" said Sunny "Let's ask Toots! Oh! And Dahlia! Oh! Oh! And Windy!" said Izzy "Uh, I don't know if I can help you right now. Sparky is really fussy And I've got a lot of official sheriff business to get back to. Paperwork, you know! But, uh, maybe Zipp" began Hitch "Sorry, but I'm so close to cracking Twilight Sparkle's message. I've gotta focus my attention on that. Have fun! Don't let the ghosties get ya!" said Zipp flying off "You know, if I had to guess, I'd say that spooky, scary ghosts haunting it up in here is totally against regulation. Right?" I said "You make a good point. As sheriff, I can't allow that!" said Hitch


(Crystal Brighthouse )

"Okay, Twilight. Let's hear it again" said Zipp taking out her phone and playing the recording of Twilight's message "but the spell is broken. You are exposed to the world once again. You must watch out—before she—" unknown to Zipp Misty was watching from close by "Is that her? Twilight Sparkle from Opaline's stories?" she asked herself "—but the spell is broken. You are exposed to the world once again. You must watch out for Op—before she—" "Before" what?! What were you trying to warn us about?! Ugh! I still can't believe that's all I was able to record!" said Zipp "Opaline has to know about this!" said Misty running off

(Opaline's Dark Castle)

"So that nasty little Twilight Sparkle along with Xavier Smith enchanted those crystals with a secret message, did they?! What else did she reveal?!" asked Opaline "Uh, I don't know. Zipp said that's all she recorded, though, so maybe there was more?" said Misty "Of course there was more! Time is running out before that Zipp pony pieces things together! Ugh! I need the rest of that dragonfire!" said Opaline "What if we didn't steal Sparky?" asked Misty "What did you just say?" said Opaline angrily "I-I-I just mean... I-I-It's just that... Well, what if—" strutted Misty "Spit it out!" yelled Opaline "Ah! Twilight said that she put all of her magic into the crystals! What if we just steal those instead? Yeah! Crystals don't run away or burp fire" said Misty "Oh, that's a great idea!" said Opaline sarcastically "Really?" said Misty "No. Not really. We can't just steal the crystals! Now that I know what they truly are – conduits!" said Opaline Misty looked at her in confusion "Long ago, Twilight Sparkle and Xavier Smith channelled all the magic in Equestria into those crystals and enchanted them. Stealing them now, before I'm strong enough, could destroy the pris-beam, the very source of magic that I want to possess! You were willing to risk that?" said Opaline "No! Of course not! It was a terrible idea! But, um, uh, what's a "conduit"?" asked Misty "An element" Misty still didn't understand "Ugh! A crystal that's protected by a very complex spell containing..." she shuddered "unity magic. The only thing that could possibly drain the crystals permanently is an equal magical power" explained Opaline "Like an Alicorns?" guessed Misty "A Fire Alicorn. And for that, there's only one thing I need" said Opaline Misty gulped "A baby dragon?" she said "Don't fail me again" said Opaline (Maretime Bay)

"Oh, I know I've got that somewhere! Did I put it under the macaroni? Aha!" said Izzy "There should definitely be balloons. I love balloons" said Toots "Okay!" said Izzy inflating some

"Oh! And a glitter banner! We've got to have a glitter banner!" said Dahlia "Yeah, that too!" said Windy "Okay!" said Izzy "And an art gallery with a painting of everypony in Maretime Bay!" said Toots Sunny had a note pad out listing off what everypony wanted "Lots of colour. No colour. Extra space for dancing, and a cool pony statue in every corner" listed off Sunny Izzy gave a sigh "Rainbow ribbons, no ribbons, and only blue ribbons" continued Sunny Izzy gave a groan "Balloons, a glitter banner, and a painting of everypony in Maretime Bay. And that's just the décor category! Do we have all that? We do, right?" asked Sunny "I think so?" said Izzy looking though her Uni-cycling cart Izzy does it "Yeah, and they don't always go together." she said "Maybe there's just too many ideas to" she began "Make it work?" said Sunny "Uh-huh!" went Izzy "But we've got to take everypony's idea into consideration. After all, we're all part of the community. Everypony should all have an equal say and be able to enjoy the new space, right? Right?!" said Sunny "Right!" said Izzy with a awaked chuckle
