Let it be known due to my birthday and my vacation at the exact same time as I was writing this chapter, I will be extending the contest time between the next few weeks. There will be more time to enter, and more of a chance at finding people who enjoy my works and want to be involved. I'll be posting the prizes and rules in another authors note in the story. Please watch out for that and be sure to have fun and enjoy the chapter!
Night knew the best place to go for him and his uncle Storm Fleet to talk since it was probably important, was the cloud benches above the park, where they currently were for the sake of this being a completely private matter. The two sat on a nearby cloud bench, the both of them taking note of what was around them to make sure that they were alone. Night was unaware of what exactly he was going to talk to him about however. He just knew that it was more than likely something important, or else he would have waited until they took their chow time at midnight. Storm knew how tough it was on a colt to fall in love only for her to go for someone who doesn't care. It could really make him feel like less of a Stallion, especially at 15.
"Look, Night. FlutterMint told me about what all's going on and I know it's tough. I know this Elusive colt doesn't sound much like the kind of pony this love of yours needs in her life." He spoke in a low voice, so that in case anyone was nearby they could not hear their conversation, and continued, "I want to help you lot, it's going to take a lot of ponies to pull it off you know."
Night of course was shocked , since he had never thought that any adult would ever think that this was a sane plan, or even the story about Elusive being true. He had thought that from the beginning, even! That was why he had been so darn worried about doing this alone! And even after the fillies believed him, he still felt that way! And yet here he was, with his uncle. And for some reason he actually believed them! It was actually kind of a huge shock!
His Uncle could not help but chuckle at his dumbfounded expression, "What is it? You look like you've just seen a white rabbit dancing with a watercan in a tutu or something."
"It's Just...well it's just shocking. I mean...it's a little strange for me. I mean...don't you think it's wrong of me to be trying to prove that he's bad for her? I mean...we're trying to expose him and make her hate him..." Night said, shaking his head slightly, looking down.
This only made the stallion laugh a bit more, "Night, it may not be my way of doing things, and I may not think that it's something that you should be doing, I'll still help you, simply because I know that it's important to you and it is what you believe is right. It's not my place to tell you what you think is right and wrong. I know you know the difference after all. Is it really so weird that I would like to help my nephew be happy?"
This made the colt grin and he nodded slightly, "Thanks, uncle Storm. As soon as the girls and I talk to Elusive's ex, we will be able to figure out what to do."
The older stallion nodded and he stood up before he grinned, "well, we better get to work!"
With that, the two flew off, ready to get their work done for the night. Meanwhile, FlutterMint and Solina chatted about what they would ask and what they would say and such, before they eventually fell asleep, causing Cloud Runner to have to put them to bed. Flitter Fleet was busy helping out Rainbow Dash get out old baby stuff from their attic, since Rainbow Dash decided it would be better to get them down in the evening time rather than during the day when they had so much work to do on the weather. They had gone to flight school together and had been a bit competitive with each other as fillies. The two had never really been BAD friends, far from it in fact, but there was always going to be a competitive edge between the two. Not that there was anything wrong with that, after all they were in-laws.
"so. How many will you be having?" Flitter asked Rainbow with a sly grin.
The rainbow haired Pegasus rolled her eyes and she said, "well, Discord told us that this time may or may not be twins. He couldn't quite tell this time, so it's hard to say."
This caused the other mare to nod and chuckle, "I suppose that makes sense, even HE has to be unsure from time to time, after all, nothing makes sense with him. Isn't that what you always said?"
Rainbow Dash shrugged, it was true she had not really trusted Discord at first but who could really blame her? He had done so many bad things in the past it was understandable that it would have taken a while for anypony to really get used to him being free. Especially after what had happened with Tirek all those years ago. But that was then and Discord had proven himself, mostly, to be reformed for good. If it wasn't clear by how he married Fluttershy and even had a daughter with her, Rainbow Dash wasn't sure what would.
"Yeah well, he's ok now. I mean come on! Everypony has to go a bit crazy before they can be called normal right?" Rainbow simply answered with another shrug.
The two chuckled lightly about it before they finally managed to get the bigger box down from a shelf. This one was full of mainly things like toys and blankets, but it also held quite a few larger things, such as an indoor swing and slide set for when the foal, or foals, got old enough and some of Night's old wing strengtheners. They decided that was enough for then, since both mares were getting quite tired a bit quicker. Though neither of them would EVER be too tired to fly or do their work, it still helped for them to take it easy and get some extra sleep here and there.
1: You cannot draw the design, it must be created using only Doll Devine's pony creator, not pegasus maker or Merpony maker, pony creator. This rule is to keep with the same style as the other designs for my other Ocs that have been posted to my deviant art account.
2: If you enter you MUST give your name, and the number of each color you use, no matter what it be. This can be done only through Private Messaging me through Fanfiction ONLY.
3: to create a cutie mark for said design MUST only be made with paint.
4: You cannot use an Alicorn design and his backdrop must be something dark and dreary, nothing cheery, unless being used to measure height with something in the back ground, in which case, have at it.
5: if you submit a design there are no substitutions. Once posted to your deviant art account that is your one entry for the contest.
6: if you win, you CANNOT use the design in any fan fictions, without my permission, as the character belongs to me and therefore will only be used with permission if you so desire.
7: If you cannot remember his color scheme, check the chapter where he was born, or if you have not read to that point in the story please catch up and remember to read every chapter.
8: If you do not have a deviant art account you cannot enter, this is so that I can be sure all entries are on one website for easier sorting and scoring.
9: The dark form needs to look like both my Description of Dark Moon and the shows design for King Sombra, but remember that only solid colors can be used, no additional coat markings and no Split pupils for the eyes.
10: And remember to have fun with the design, but keep the original design I made for him in mind whenever you are creating the final dark form.
The Prizes for first second and third place are listed here:
1st Place: The first place winner will get their design used in a future fan fiction, full credit for the design will be given to the winner AND one of their oc's will be added into the story, with design colors and pony type chosen by the winner, and created through pony creator by me.
2nd Place: The second place prize will be the chance to create their own main Filly or Colt Oc for another future fanfiction. (Pony Creator must be the way the oc must be designed, not drawn as it wouldn't be fair with the contest rules.)
3rd Place: The third place winner's prize will be an Oc cameo in five chapters of one of the fanfictions in the future.
With these rules and prizes in mind I hope to see your creations very soon! Now back to the chapter!
Once they were done working, Night Flyer and Storm Fleet decided to chat on their way back home. Mainly about work and the construction of Storm's house and whatnot. Still the older stallion was curious to hear more about the mare that Night was so in love with. What was she like? Who was she? Simple questions like that, but they could easily lead to other more deep and personal questions about what he finds so amazing about her.
"So Night, "He began casually, "can you tell me more about this mare?"
The teenage colt winced and got a light blush on his face, causing the older stallion to chuckle slightly, before he said, "well...she's a princess...but honestly I don't really care about that. She's smart, she's funny and sweet, kind of clumsy most of the time but she's just too happy and beautiful to really let that bother her too much. She has an amazing laugh...she's got to be one of the best friends I could ever really ask for. And that only makes me fall in love with her more, because she's such a great friend."
"She sounds like somepony that I'd like to have around, I can see why you would want to make sure that no pony hurt her, like this current coltfriend of hers." Storm Fleet said with a grunt.
Night nodded in agreement and he stomped his hoof angrily, "Sometimes I really wish I could just tell her. I just can't stand to see him using her like he is...he doesn't really love her..."
Storm placed a hoof on his shoulder and gave a reassuring smile as he said, "Don't worry about it! With my help and of course help from the girls too, I'm sure we can figure something out, right?"
Night nodded slightly, smiling with only a little uncertainty. He couldn't really be sure how they would pull it off until they actually talked to Raideant Shine, but that was alright, after all it would only be about a month or so until Coloratura and her arrived there. So it wouldn't be too bad of a wait for him. The two of them went home and went their separate ways for the night. Night could hardly wait to get into his bed.
When he arrived at his room he was very glad to see that Cloud Runner was sleeping on the other side of the room with a tent made of extra clouds and a closed door, so he wouldn't have to worry about his cousin taking up his bed. He went and brushed his teeth and made sure to stretch his wings, as he had to everyday after he got back from working to make sure that they didn't stiff up while he slept. He got in bed and sighed slightly, this was going to be one long Month. But he guessed that in the end, it would all be worth it. He smiled and settled down on his pillow as he closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep happily.
The next day Scootaloo came through the front door, on her back were the two young Pie Twins. Raspberry giggled as she simply played with a cake pan while clapping her tiny hooves. Sunrise however clapped loudly and blew on a party blower, and somehow or another that little filly always managed to have bits of confetti in her mane and tail. Scootaloo looked exhausted but smiled all the same as she set the twins down in the high chairs that were set out.
Rainbow Dash blinked and asked, "So why did you have to vanish suddenly a couple days?"
"Ugh..." The orange mare groaned as she sat down, "Lyra and BonBon had to cancel suddenly, they said they needed to head to Fillydelphia for something or other. So I had to take over watching the Pie twins..."
Cloud Runner blinked and she said, "whoa, looks like they caused you some trouble."
"Yeah...Sunrise loves confetti and noise makers...as well as those streamer poppers...and Raspberry has a knack for getting into the kitchen cabinets and pulling out all the sprinkles and baking supplies...between the two of them I have two parts of the house I need to be in at once!" The tired Pegasus sighed as she rested her head on the table.
Sorin set plates out for everyone and made sure to give everypony their breakfast as he said, "Least they don't have wings."
"Or horns." Solina put in with a shrug as she began eating immediately.
Scootaloo couldn't help but nod in agreement, "Yeah."
Rainbow Dash, Flitter Fleet, and Cloud Runner got up after finishing their food and smiled.
"well, we'll see you all later. Flitter, Cloud, and I have to head out to Cloudsdale. There's a place there that sells special blankets for pegasus foals to be sure that their wings don't start flapping away in the night. we had THAT problem once already." Rainbow Dash grinned, sending a certain look to her tired son.
Flitter and Cloud couldn't help but chuckle at that before they all headed out. Sorin and Storm Fleet began to clean up as FlutterMint and Solina headed out to meet with Zarina and MoonStone at their clubhouse and Night went back to bed. Scootaloo headed out as well, since the twins needed to get back to the Pie's house so that they wouldn't start causing havoc in the clouds as well.
"What do you think will happen when we get to the clubhouse?" FlutterMint asked.
"well first I'll have to call my moms on the mirror in the clubhouse, then we should go see my Uncle Discord. He's funny, and plus he didn't get to go with his wife and daughter so I'll bet he's lonely." Solina beamed as they flew towards the ground to head to the clubhouse.
Once they got there Solina called her mothers while FlutterMint went and ate an apple in the background, enjoying apples after a nice breakfast.
"Hey guys!" Solina greeted as her family appeared on the mirror on her wall, "sorry I missed your call yesterday, we had some stuff we had to do."
"It's ok, sweetie," Twilight said with a smile.
"We can't wait to get home, it seems like if we keep this up we will get home ahead of schedule." Summer beamed.
Starlight smiled and she said, "Hey, little sis! I got you a gift too! Candy, Lucy and I thought of you when we saw it! So be prepared for a surprise when we get home!"
She and Lucy giggled happily and smiled, Solina copying them happily as she said, "I can't wait to see you guys!"
