Transcript
Hoity Toity (Narrating): "Ponyville was in the grips of winter. It had come early than expected, and with it, came the fog. None of us liked fog. But in those days, it was worst. Animals had no radio and no radar. Long periods of fog had a way of come jeering up with old stories of superstitions and animals of the town.

I remember Big Macintosh returned quite late. He'd been working all day with Mr. Cake, who had been telling him old stories of strange things that happened when fog was around.

As he passed down dark buildings, they seem to take on ghostly shapes. They groaned and creaked as if they were alive. As Big Mac came close to an old house, he heard a whisper which grew louder."

Big Macintosh: "Hello? Hello? Who's out there?

I must got out here fast while I've got no fog.

Ah, ponies. Thanks goodness, but...

Who's that? Who's out here this time of night? I don't hear footsteps.

They're the ghost fleet that Mr. Cake talked about! Ghosts! No! Oh!"

Hoity Toity (Narrating): "It was too much for Big Mac. For getting safety, he charged into the fog, and made his way through the dark shapes of more animals and creatures, trying to make sure, the ghost ponies weren't following him.

He was soon back at the library."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Slow down! You know better than to travel in fog of that great of naughts."

Braeburn: "You're right? You look as if you've seen a ghost."

Big Macintosh: "I, uh, well, I saw something, I, uh... No, I can't tell you, you'll only, laugh."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What? Oh, look, come on, we're worried a bit serious."

Big Macintosh: "Well, I have seen ghosts."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What? You've seen what?"

Big Macintosh: "Ghosts! You know Mr. Cake's story about those ponies that died in the great storm of 1912?"

Soarin: "And they'll come back to get you!"

Spike: "Oh, Big Mac, you're not taking Mr. Cake's story for real, are you?"

Big Macintosh: "Aye, well, I'm not going out there again till' the fog lifts."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Ha! Well, I'd never thought I'd hear that from a big horse."

Pipsqueak: "Well, he, he could have seen something, there could be ghosts, you never know."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Oh, don't be ridiculous, really."

Hoity Toity (Narrating): "Early the next day, the Ponyville Fleet all had their orders. As they moved out, they were giving Big Macintosh a hard time about his ghost."

Big Macintosh: "Knew I shouldn't have told them about it."

Braeburn: "Don't mind them. The fog plays funny tricks on us. Nothing really to worry about. As long as mind what you're doing, keep your wits about you. But, uh... ghosts, Big Mac." (Chuckles)

Big Macintosh: "Maybe I was seeing things. I had a lot on my mind at the time."

Hoity Toity (Narrating): "That evening, Soarin was making his way back to Ponyville. Some changelings were following, using him as a guide through the fog."

Changelings: "Hey, Soarin, you sure you know your way?"

Soarin: "Course' I do. Do you trust me or don't you? A bit of fog's nothing to worry about. I've got a natural sense of direction. If we were running into anything, I'd know... Good, where'd that come from? Phew. That was lucky. Better head out a bit."

Hoity Totiy (Narrating): "Soarin swerved violently, just in time to miss the mud bank. But the changelings were not so lucky."

Changelings: (Screaming) "Oh, Soarin!"

Soarin: "Quiet! When you can't see... What the?" (Sees what looks like ghosts) "What? Who the? I don't believe it! Yes, I do!" (Panting) "It's, it's what Big Mac saw! The Ghost Fleet! It's the Ghost Fleet!" (Backs up and runs away)

Hoity Toity (Narrating): "Steve Magnet, the old sea serpent, had failed all day to get a cheap tow into Ponyville, so he decided to try and sneak in for free, with the help of the fog.

Discord: "Hello, hello."

Steve Magnet: "Oh..."

Discord: "Ha ha! You never learn, do you, Steve? Eh? Ha ha! Oh, crime doesn't pay, you know?"

Steve Magnet: "Oh, what you talk about?"

Discord: "Slipping into Ponyville on your own without a tow? Well, I hope you run aground, I'll be there, you'll be my salvage!"

Steve Magnet: "Hey, I no salvage! Okay, 50, most I give you for a tow."

Discord: "Hey? Get lost, not for 500! You'll be worth more dead!"

Steve Magnet: "Well, I did ask about a tow and I did not get a tow, so..."

Discord: "That Steve. I'll get him one day... Anyway, heh, with luck, there should be a few distress calls today, eh? Heh. Suckers always pay at least double to get them out of trouble.

Aha. This looks like money. Ahoy! You need a tow into Ponyville? Eh? Eh? Ahoy? You there ahead of me? I'm hailing you! Give you a fair price, get you into town sa... safe?" (Sees what look like ghosts) "There's no sound. What's going on? It can't be! No! It's the ghosts! It's Big Mac's ghost fleet! Oh, no! They're coming to get me! Oh! I'll leave you alone, lads, don't touch me!"

Steve Magnet: "It's very foggy. Boy, if I see nobody, nobody can see me. Hmmm. So I get into Ponyville free. It's good. Eh, you watch where you're going. Why they don't answer? It's funny." (Sees what looks like ghosts) "Aye Carumba! It's ghosts! Oh, don't take me! I got a tow already, it's on it's way, please don't take me!"

Hoity Toity (Narrating): "The ghost ponies slid silently into the fog. Discord was so shaken, he sailed round in a circle and met Steve again."

(Discord bumps into Steve Magnet)

Discord: "Oh, uh, uh, oh, ah, oh, it's you. Uh, heh, not gotten far, have you?"

Steve Magnet: "Amigo, give me a tow, I pay what you want, any price you say."

Discord: "Uh, no, Steve, my old friend, uh, I'll tow you in for free, I need some company getting back to Ponyville. Heh heh."
