"You wanted them out hm?" I said, raising my left eyebrow.
"Yeah" She said, getting closer to my face.
"Great." I said, and Twilight planted a kiss on my lips.
Third person POV
"Those two. I tell ya, they're so cute together!" Applejack exclaimed.
"I agree! Oh, what do you think Fluttershy?" Rarity said.
"Oh, I think it's kind of romantic. I mean, an alien that has to keep his true identity from others, and tells only his closest friends, and begins to fall in love with one of the aliens, oh it's just soo cute!" Fluttershy 'Sqee'ed with excitement.
"Fluttershy, I didn't know you were so, 'into' that romantic stuff!" Rarity exclaimed.
"Oh, well, I guess I never got the chance to express it." The shy Pegasus said quietly.
Rainbow Dash shook her head. "Man, Impact has an arm on him." She said.
"Well, He did clothesline you, silly!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow said, hovering.
"Calm down, everypony here has been clothslined some time in their life!"
"What in Celestia's anem are you takin' bout'?" Applejack asked.
"Oh, nothing!" Pinkie waved her off.
"Your so Random." Applejack commented.
"I'm gonna check on them." Fluttershy said quietly.
"Why?" Rarity asked.
"Just to make sure they don't get carried away." Fluttershy replied.
Rarity raised an eyebrow. "Okay." She replied simply.
Fluttershy walked to Chris's room.
She opened the door.
Chris was in a kiss with Twilight.
"Oh! I'm sorry!" She said, shutting the door, blushing hotly.
Fluttershy walked back to the group, still blushing.
"What's the matter, Fluttershy? You need some water?" Applejack asked.
"No, I'm fine." Fluttershy responded quietly.
"Oh! I git it. You saw Twi and Impact Kissin'? That's cute." Applejack giggled.
Twilight walked to the group.
"Girls. Are we ready to go?" She asked.
They all nodded in reponse.
"Fluttershy, can I talk to you for a moment?"
"O-oh, ok-k-kay." She followed Twilight.
"Please, don't do that again!" Twilight whispered.
"I'm sorry Twilight! I thought that you were just talking!"
"It's okay, just try not to do it again." Twilight and Fluttershy waked back to the group.
"So, Twi. What was it like?" Applejack asked.
"What?"
"You know." Applejack winked. "Kissin'."
Twilight sighed. "I don't feel comfortable talking about that, thank you very much."
"Come now Twilight, we're your friends! You can tell us!" Rarity said, basicaly pleading.
"Ugh! Fine! I guess it felt good, I mean I was focusing on Chris, and not the actual kiss itself!" Twilight said, throwing her hooves in the air.
"Okay, okay, sugarcubes, calm yourself." Applejack said.
Chris's POV
Life is good.
I wonder if they have that store here...
Hmm... I'm in a hospital, I don't have my Ipod with me...
Oh no.
Not boredom.
Of all things. Not boredom.
I looked around.
Button!
I reached for it, and barely held it down.
"Hello?" A nurse said.
"Hi, Um... do you have by any chance, a small robot waiting for me?"
"Yes. I'll send him up now."
Well, that was easy.
The door swung open, and Eptic walked in.
"Your in the hospital again?" He asked with a chuckle, and sat next to me.
"Yeah. I told Redheart that I might be a usual." I tried not to chuckle.
"So, what's the damage?"
a broken wing, a broken hoof, a concussion, a fractured toe, and five broken ribs."
"Man, he messed you up!"
"Yeah. And where were you during all this? At Vinyl's house, making love to a stereo. Jerk."
"Oh come on! You sent me there!"
"Yeah, and when tou felt that quake?"
"Oh, I felt a quake alright." Eptic chuckled.
"Man! Okay, what did you do when you heard that giant crash, huh?"
"I couldn't hear anything over Vinyl's dubstep, and the stereo!"
"Would you just!" I groaned in annoyance. "I guess it was an over dose of my own medicine."
"Yeah, I guess."
"I should get some sleep, I guess."
"Night." He said, laying his head down.
Three weeks later...
(Stuff doesn't happen!)
"Okay sir. Your alright to leave the hospital." Redheart said.
"Let's hit the road, Eptic." I said, and slowly got off the hospital bed.
Eptic jumped on my back.
"Hi ho Silver, Away!" He shouted, and I galloped out of the hospital.
"So, What are you gonna be doing?" Eptic asked.
"Talking with Twi."
"Sure. Talking. Whatever you say."
"Well, that too." I chuckled, which still hurt a little bit.
"Careful man, don't pop an arterie."
I let him hop off and go to where ever he would go, probably Vinyl's.
"See ya!" I said, waving.
I trotted off to the library.
I noticed that there weren't very many ponies on the streets.
Strange.
I arrived at the library and tried to open the door.
I knocked instead.
"Coming!" I heard Spike's voice shout.
Spike opened the door.
"Impact! Hey! Come on in!" He said, moving out of the way.
"Thanks. Have you seen Twi?"
"No, she's out getting stuff for Nightmare Night. Why?"
"I needed to asked her something."
"Well, you'll have to find her, sorry."
"See ya Spike. Good luck with Rarity!" I said, cantering to the market place.
No wonder there weren't any ponies around, they must all be preparing for Nightmare Night.
"Hi Impact!" I turned around to see Applebloom with Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo on her left and right.
"Hi girls. You know, I never got your name." I said, even though I already knew their names.
"Oh, I'm Applebloom, this is Scootaloo, and this here is Sweetie Bell." Applebloom smiled.
"Nice to meet you." I said, holding out a hoof.
They all shook it.
"So?" Applebloom said expectantly.
"Oh, that. Don't worry. I haven't forgot about it."
"About what?" Sweetie Bell said.
"I haven't told you yet? Well, I invited Chris to be in the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" Applebloom said excitedly.
"Really? That's great! We'll have a grown up in the Crusaders now!" Sweetie Bell exclaimed.
"If I join." I said.
"Please!" They all said in synergy, and made the cutest face ever.
I sighed. "Now I can't deny that." I said.
"I'll join." I said.
"YAY!" They all jumped in the air, high fiving. (Or high hoofing.)
"However, I can't spend every day looking for my cutie mark. I have grown up things to do."
I chuckled in my head.
Grown up things.
"Okay. Should we start tonight?" Scootaloo asked.
"Sure. I have to find Twilight though. See you girls tonight!" I said, galloping to the market place.
The place was crowded with ponies in costumes.
"I feel strangely out of place here." I said to myself, slightly chuckling.(I FRICKIN' LOVE CHUCKLING)
"I looked around for anything that could be Twilight.
Egyptian, ladybug, aha! A wizard.
I coughed loudly when I was behind her.
She turned around.
"Impact!" She said, cantering over to me, and hugging my.
"Hey, Twi!" I said, returning the hug.
"I'm glad to see you again!" She said, and broke the hug.
"Me too. I mean, you. Yeah."
"Hey, I was going to ask you something." I said.
"Sure. What is it?"
"Well, since you know... my house was completely destroyed beyond recognition, I was wondering if..."
"You could stay with me?" Twilight finished.
"Yeah."
"Of course! It's not like your an annoyance!" She said.
"Thank you so much! I can''t take another minute in one of those hotel beds!" I exclaimed.
"It's fine, really." She said as I hugged her tightly.
I let her go, and smiled.
"So, what are you going to be for Nightmare Night?" She asked.
"Not a clue. Something cool though, I know that much." I said, making her giggle.
That soft, sweet giggle.
"Well, you should see Rarity. She can hook you up with something."
"Thanks, but I already have the stuff, it's just choosing. Need some help?"
"Yeah, thanks. Can you get the sweet apples for me?"
"No problem." I walked over to the candy stall.
I picked up a few sweet looking apples and headed back to Twilight.
"Great! Let's get back home." She said, putting the apples in a compartment on her saddle bag.
We walked back to the library.
"Hi Spike!" Twilight greeted the purple dragon as she entered.
"Hey man!" I exclaimed, waving to him.
"Hey. What are you doing?"
"I'm getting my costume ready."
"Here?"
"Yeah. Remember the whole, 'Griffon attack' incedent?
"Sure do."
"Well, my house was involved in that."
"Oh, I see. And Twilight's letting you stay here until you can get a new place."
"Well Spike, I was just going to let him stay here as long as he likes." Twilight corrected.
"Really? I get it! Twi and Impact, sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"Come on now, Spike, don't be that imature."
"No, it's fine. Besides, I'm gettin' farther than you!" I said.
Twilight giggled, and Spike facepalmed.
"I'm gonna get my suit ready!" I anounced, and galloped up the stairs.
I opened up a mini-rift yet again, and pulled out my ponified Nightingale armor.
I slid into the armor with the complete oppisite of ease.
"Are you okay up there, Chris?" Twilight called.
"Yeah, still not used to putting clothes on as a pony, that's all!"
I finally finished the suit and pulled over my hood and cowl, and went downstairs.
"How do I look?" I asked.
"Great!" Twilight said.
"Awsome!" Spike said.
"Thanks. Who's next?"
"Spike, you can go. I need to make a few last minute preperations." Twilight said.
"Alright." Spike went upstairs.
"That really is a great looking suit. Where did you get it from?" Twilight asked after Spike was upstairs.
"It's a long story that a pony wouldn't like. But I got it from a friend named Karliah, when me and Gallus, another friend were forced to join the Nightingales, so we could defeat Mercer Frey, a backstabbing man who only wanted riches and money. I've been in the guild ever since. That was, say... a year or two ago."
"Wow. You'll have to tell me about it more later."
We heard Spike come downstairs.
I turned around to see Spike in a dragon suit.
A purple dragon suit.
I burst out in laughter, despite the light pain that shot through my ribs every time I laughed.
"Impact, calm down," Twilight said, holding me stable.
I breathed in, and breathed out.
"I'm fine, thanks."
"I'll be back down in a second." Twilight said, going upstairs.
"So, what are you supossed to be?" I asked.
"A dragon, duh!" He said.
"Really? A dragon, that dresses up as a dragon on Nightmare Night. Interesting."
"Yeah, yeah."
Twilight came downstairs wearing a blue, star decorated cape, a long blue wizards hat with stars on it, and a long, white beard.
Oh, and bells on the trim.
"Are you... that, one cooky grandpa from ponyville retirment village?" Spike asked.
Twilight looked at him skepticaly. "I'm Starswirl the bearded!"
Spike only stood there, oblivious.
"Father of the AumuoMorphic spell!"(I totaly spelled that correctly!)
Spike continued to be olbivious "Did you even read that book I gave you about obscure unicorn history?"
"Um..." Spike held up a finger.
There was I knock on the door.
"That sounds important!" He said, rushing past Twilight and to the door, making her spin around, and leaving her twisted up.
"You spin me right round baby right round baby right round, like a record baby, right round round round!" I sung, untwisting Twilight.
"Nightmare Night! Want a fright! Give us something sweet to bite!" I heard three high pitched voices chant from the door.
We both walked to the door to see Granny Smith over three fillies, one wearing a ladybug costume, one a princess's outfit, and another wearing an astronaut's helmet.
Spike wiped off sweat from his forehead, and went to grab a bowl of candy.
"Hi evrypony! Great costumes! Happy Nightmare night Granny Smith!" Twilight said happily.
"I should have been asleep five hours ago!" The tired old mare said.
Spike came back with a bowl of candy.
Twilight used her magic to take out three pieces, and gave them each to the fillies.
A small colt wearing a pirate costume and sword in his mouth barged through the three fillies, swinging the small sword around.
He fell to the ground, anddropped his sword, but quickly got back up, and saluted.
"Pipsqueak the Pirate, at your service! It's my very first Nightmare Night!" The little pony exclaimed with a light british "Since you moved here from Trottingham?" Twilight said.
"No, my very first Nightmare Night, ever!" The colt said.
Pinkie barged through th three fillies, and made a sound, that sonded like a real chicken.
Really.
"Enough Chit-Chat! Time is candy!" She said, and began pecking at the ground.
"Pinkie, aren't you a little old for this?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, At least she's alowed to do it here. Where I come from, you could get arrested for doing this."
"Too old for free candy?" Pinkie let out another chicken sound. "Never!"
Twilight rolled her eyes, and levitated a piece of candy into Pinkie's bag.
"Man, this isn't how you give out candy!" I took a few pieces, and gave them to everypony.
They all brightly smiled. "Thank you!" They said, and galloped off.
"That's so nice of you." Twilight said, giving me a hug.
Twilight jingled a bell infront of Pinkie's face.
"Do you like it? Yeah, great costume Twilight, you make a fantastic weirdo clown!" Pinkie said, before jumping forward and pecking at hte cand in the bowl, and dashing off.
"A clown?" Twilight exclaimed.
Spike patted her in the back.
"Look at the borders on these robes! These are hoof stiched!" Twilight said.
"It's a great costume. Heh. Grandpa." Spike chuckled.
"Starswirl The Bearded is only the most important conjurer of the pre classic era! He created more than two-hundred spells! He even has a shelf in the canterlot Library if magic named after him! Maybe I should star up a pony group to teach ponies about history! I bet everypony would love it! Don't you Spike?" Twilight had been talking about Starswirl the bearded, and only Starswirl the bearded as we walked, and I could tolerate it because to me, she has the most beautiful voice in the world.
Spike wasn't even listening, only chowing down on candy.
"Mm hm, I love it!" He said through his candy covered teeth.
Twilight stopped, causing me to bump into her, causing Spike to bump into me and drop all the candy.
"Look! We're already here. Want to get something to eat?" Twilight asked.
Spike burped in response.
"How do you burp off candy?" I asked myself.
Pinkie came running up to use with all the foals around her.
"Twilight, Impact! Look at our hold!" She said, holding up her bag of candy, which was filled to the brim.
"Ooh can you belive it?" She began pecking on her bag as if it were chicken feed.
I noticed something on the rooftops lurking.
Nothing.
"And then, we went to Cherilee's house and we got a bunch more goodies, didn't we Pip?" Pinkie had been explaining something about goodies, while I focused on a cloud that was suspiciously moving towards the group.
I noticed a small bit of green fur flying off the tip.
Smirking, I flew under it.
I looked over to see Rainbow wearing a shadow bolt outfit, about to strike the cloud she was on.
I bucked the cloud from under, sending lighting up top.
I heard Rainbow's frightened yelp, and she fell of.
"Suprise!" I shouted.
"Impact! You scared the kids away!" Twilight scolded.
"Twilight, calm down, It's Nightmare Night! As in Nightmare, scary?"
"Look what you did to Spike!" She said, pointing at the coughing dragon.
"Well, If he eat any more he was gonna be throwing it up or visiting Colgate, so, I'm sorry." I said.
She picked up the dragon and put him on her back.
"Happy Nightmare Night, Applejack!" Twilight said as we apporached the apple bobbing bucket.
Applejack was wearing a scarecrow outfit, complete with hay straws in her mane.
"Howdy Spike, Impact. Hey Twilight! Nice costume, you two." Applejack said.
"Oh, thanks." I said.
"Thanks! I'm a dragon!" Spike replied.
"She means me, Spike." Twilight said annoyed.
"With that beard, I reckon your some sort of country music singer."
Twilight growled, and Spike chuckled.
"While ya'll are here, you feel like bobbin' for an apple?" Applejack asked, motioning to a bucket full of green water and apples.
I looked over to see Carrot Top wearing a devil cape and horns about to put her head in, but Derpy splashed out, holding a plug.
Derpy was wearing a paper bag over her head and hooves.
Cheering started at the town square.
"Thank you, every pony! And welcome to the Nightmare Night festival!" Mayor Mare announced, wearing a clown outfit.
The crowd cheered.
"All the little ponies who have been out collecting sweets, should follow our frined Zecora, to hear the legend of, Nightmare Mooooooooon!" She said.
The rainfro really kills it.
"Spooky voice might work better if she weren't dressed like that." Spike whispered, making me and Twilight giggle.
The curtains moved, and green, sparkling fog came from whereever, and Zecora stepped out.
"Follow me, and very soon you will hear the tale of Nightmare Moon." Zecora rhymed.
Me, Twilight, and Spike followed the kids.
We came acros a clearing in the forest(Who would have thought?) with a statue of Nightmare moon on a pedastal.
"Listen here, my little dears, I'll tell you where you got your fears." Zecora said.
"Of Nightmare Night, so dark and scary." Zecora pulled out some green glowing dust and blew it into the air.
"Of Nightmare Moon, who makes you weary." The dust turned into a green, glowing form of Nightmare Moon.
The form flew at the group, and puffed into a large cloud of green dust around the kids.
"Evey year, we put on a disguise, to save ourselves from our searching eyes." Zecora preached.
Eyes had fromed around Pipsqueak and another filly in the lady bug outfit.
They looked behind them and screamed, then fled.
Pip ran into the pedastal, and looked up.
"But Night Moon want one thing." Zecora rhymed.
Pip backed up from the statue.
"To gobble up ponies in one quick swing!"
Pip ran into Pinkie, who had her head stuck in the ground.
They both shot up in the air, and bolted away from eachother.
Zecora blew more dust in the air.
"Hungrily she soars the sky, if she sees nopony, she passes by."
The dust did the same as before, and made searching motions.
"So if she comes, and all is clear, Equestria is safe, another year!"
The dust flew up, and poofed away.
Pip pulled on Zecora's cape.
"Um... Miss Zecora? If we wear costumes to hide from Nightmare Moon, so she won't gobble us up, how come we still need to give her some of our candy?"
My heart skipped a beat.
They had to give candy on Nightmare Night?
This is all just a messed up version of halloween.
"A perfect question, my little friend, for Nightmare Moon, you must not offend!"
Zecora blew more dust into the sky.
"Fill up her belly with a treat or two, so she won't return, to come eat YOU!" The dust repeated the form magic, and it's mouth became bigger, and eat threw itself at the terrified Pip, exploding when It hit the ground.
The ponies all screamed.
"Everypony! Let's dump some candy and get outta here!" Pinkie exclaimed, dumping her candy in front of the statue.
The rest of the ponies dumped their candy too.
A strong wind began to pick up.
Twilight, and Zecora, and Spike looked scared.
Even I was a bit worried under my cowl.
The shilloute of a carriage came flying out of the sky, a claoked figure riding.
Pinkie and the kids backed away scaredly.
The carriage was being pulled by two stallions, each grey with blue armor on.
I flew by me, Twilight, and two other fillies, who all ducked down, me a little less.
Pinkie gasped. "It's Nightmare moon! Run" She shouted, and ran out of the clearing, along with Spike and the other kids, and Zecora, even.
Lightning struck behind her, and her eyes glowed with a bright white light.
The carriage flew in ponyville's direction.
Me and Twilight followed.
"Was that Princess Luna?" Twilight asked.
"I think so. I know when there's a demi-creator when one is close." I replied.
"A what?"
"God created other immortal beings when he created the world, and they would help create other dimensions. Princess Luna and Celestia were the ones that created Equestria."
"Interesting."
We went through an alley for a shortcut, and saw the cloaked figure drop down from it's carriage.
It unflipped it's coat to reveal Princess Luna.
All the ponies bowed down in fright.
"Princess Luna!" Twilight exclaimed, before being pulled down by Spike.
I aproached the Princess.
"Hello, Princess Luna. I see your glad to be back." I said.
"Yes, thank you, Chris Shane. Or shall we call you Jer'ium Ey? or Impact Point, perhaps?" She used a loud, booming voice, that could only be the Royal Canterlot Voice.
"Um, just call me Impact, thanks. These ponies don't know yet." I whispered.
"My apolagies, Impact, Point! You may resume your business!" She continued in her Royal Canterlot Voice.
I walked back next to Twilight, and flicked Spike on the head.
He let go of Twilight, and she stood up.
Luna walked up to a pony wearing wich a wich'es outfit.
She looked up, and Luna smiled.
The pony slightly yelped, and hid herself under her hooves.
"Citizens of ponyville!" The princess began, using her Royal Canterlot Voice.
"We have graced our tiny village, with our presnece! So that you might behold, the real Princess of the night! A creature of Nightmares no longer, but instead, a pony who desires your love, and admiration! Together we shall change this dreadful celebration, into a bright, and glorious feast!" The princess shouted, and more lightning struck behind her.
"Did you hear that everypony? Nightmare Moon said she's gonna feast on our soul!" Pinkie exclaimed, and screamed, along with all of the foals.
They ran off in some direction.
"What? No children, no! You no longer have reason to fear us, screams of delight is what your princess desires, not screams of terror!" Luna stomped her hoof for emphises, and created a crack under her hoof, scaring the pony next to her senseless.
Luna turned towards the mayor. "Madam Mare, thy princess of the night, hath arived!" She put her hoof in front of the mayor, scaring her.
Luna raised an eyebrow, and moved her hoof to a grey pony wearing a devil costume.
"What is the matter with you?"
Luna pointed her hoof to other ponies, who fled under their arms.
"Very well then. Be that way. We won't even bother with the traditional Royal Farewell!" Luna walked away, back to the Everfree.
"I'm gonna go talk to her." Twilight announced.
Spike grabbed her by her robe. "You can't talk to her! She's Nightmare Moon!"
Twilight pulled her robe away. "No she's not. I saw the elements of harmony change her back to good! It seems like she's having some trouble after adjusting after being gone for a thousand years." Twilight began for the direction Luna went in, and I followed.
We came across the same clearing from before, with the statue in the middle.
Luna was lying in front of the statue, her eyes closed.
"Princess Luna? Hi, my name is-" Twilight began.
"Starswirl, the Bearded. Commendable costume. Thou even got the bells right." Luna said.
"Thank you, finally!" Twilight pumped her hoof. "Somepony who gets my costume!"
I coughed loudly. "Right, other than Chris." Twilight finished.
"Umm... We just came to welcome you to our celebration. My actual name is-"
"Twilight Sparkle." Luna finished, and began to hover slightly, and point at her.
"It was thou who unleashed the powers of harmony opon us, and threw away our dark powers!" Luna said in her Royal Canterlot Voice, pushing me and Twilight back a few feet.
"And... that's a good thing, right?" Twilight said.
"But of course! We could not be happier! Is that not clear?"
"Well, you kinda sound like your yelling at me."
"But this is the traditional Royal Canterlot Voice! It is tradition to speak using the royal 'we' and to use THIS MUCH VOLUME WHEN ADRESSING OUR SUBJECTS."
Twilight's beard had been blown off, and stuck out, and her hat was crooked.
She repositioned them both. "Ya know, that might explain why your apearance was met with... Mixed results. I think if you'd just change your aproach a bit, you might be welcome with a warmer reception."
"CHANGE OUR APROACH?"
"Lower the volume." Twilight said quietly.
"Oh. We have been locked away for a thousand years. we are... not sure we can."
"I have to go, okay? I'll meet you in town." I said, walking back to town.
"Okay, bye." Twilight said, taking Luna somewhere.
I walked back into town, humming the FIM theme song.
I noticed a blue tail was drooping from a raincloud.
I couldn't help but chuckle at the advantige Pegasi had over most other ponies.
"Hey! Get down from there! We got candy to gnaw on!" An orange earth pony with a red flame shaped mane, wearing some heavy meatl-looking plastic armor and a black bandana over his head shouted, scaring the blue tail's owner, causing him to flop off the cloud.
He stopped himself mid-air.
He was black with a blue mane, and was wearing a purple under shirt, and a black coat over it, sleek, black, pants, leopard lined pockets, a large purple hat with a feather on it, leopard lined cuffs, black sunglasses, and had a golden staff with a golden microphine at the end.
"Seriously? How did you get candy?" The black pegasus asked unbelievingly.
"Dude, it's Equestria, not Equestion, so just come on and help me and Cloud finish this giant bag of candy!" The orange pony pressed.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming." The pegasus followed.
I realized that the black pegasus was wearing Zimos's clothes.
I galloped in their direction, but kept a low profile.
"Oh my god this is good!" A unicorn exclaimed, eating candy.
He was baby blue with a white mane, and was wearing what looked like an HEV suit from half-life, lens-less glasses, and had a crowbar next to him.
My eyes widened.
How could I find so many humans in one week?
I think somethigs going down.
"Hey there!" I greeted them.
"Hi." The orange pony replied calmly.
"Hey!" The unicorn said.
"Wazzup?" The black pegasus said.
"You look new here in ponyville so I thought I might give you a warm welcome!" I held out my hoof.
The orange pony bumped it, and the others copied.
"I'm Impact Point. You can call me Impact." I said.
"Hey. I'm Degree. This is Cloud," The orange pony motioned to the unicorn.
"And this is Stary." the earth pony finished, and motioned to the black Pegasus.
"Nice costume. Great detail." Cloud said.
"Yeah, your's too. Got the Lambada logo and everything." I said.
"Thanks."
"Were did you get it from?" Stary asked.
"Long story." I replied.
"Nightingale daily?" Stary said, and Cloud chuckled.
Degree's eyes widened.
I raised an eyebrow. "So, where do you all come from?"
"I come from er... Manehattan!" Stary said.
"Appleloosa." Degree said.
"I'm from Baltimare." Cloud said.
"Nice. So, are you staying, or are you here for good?"
They looked at eachother. "I guess we're here for good." Degree answered.
I realized that I had my hood and cowl on the whole time.
I pulled them both down.
"Now, why does that hair look firmiliar?" Stary said.
"It's just one of those things, I guess." I replied, not knowing why my hair looked so much like Vinyl's.
"Want some?" Stary offered, holding out some candy.
"Ah, what the heck, why not?" I took the candy and shoved it al in my mouth at one time.
"How does plastic wrap taste when it's mixed with sugar filled pieces of hardened food coloring?" Degree asked.
I stopped chewing and began tasting the wrap.
I shrugged and continued to eat the candy.
The ponies all laughed, and stopped eating candy for once.
"So, are you from ponyville?" Cloud asked.
"Nope." I replied.
"Then where are you from?"
"Not from Equestria."
They all looked at eachother.
"As in...?"
"Fingers."
They looked more skeptical now.
"So wha-" I cut him off.
"Come with me." I said, nodding to an alley.
They followed me to the alley,(Despite the large amounts of STRANGER DANGER.)
"So, from what I see, you guys aren't from Equestria either." I said once we were deep in the alley.
They looked at eachother nervoulsy.
"And?" Cloud said.
"You know what. Come on, You kinda give it away with your Half-life HEV suit. Like I said, fingers."
Cloud looked down at his costume. "Oh yeah."
"So what your saying is, you know we're humans?" Stary confirmed.
"Yes."
"How do you know about humans, huh? Are you a spy?" Degree said light-heartedly.
We all chuckled.
"But seriously though, how do you know?"
I motioned to my costume.
"Oh. Right. Cool." Stary chuckled.
"Now that that's sorted out, who wants to play some Equestrian Chuckin' Punkin's?" I said, and walked to the pumpkin launching game.
I noticed that ponies were on the ground, shivering, and scared.
"What's happnin' here?" Degree said, looking around.
"-and they never shall." I heard Luna say.
I looked to the left and saw Twilight walking with Luna.
"My friend Applejack is one of the nicest ponies around. I'm sure she has some ideas." Twilight said.
I trotted up to them.
"Hi Chris! I was just telling Princess Luna about how Applejack can help her with socializing and such." Twilight greeted me.
"Hey Twi. Did you try with Fluttershy?"
"Yeah. Pinkie and the foals kind of..."
"Screwed things up?" I chuckled.
"Yeah, that." Twilight said quietly.
"Careful there, partner!" Applejack said, as she grabbed Pipsqueak from falling in the apple bobbing bucket.
Applejack turned towards us and trotted to us.
She yelped when she saw Luna, and got down on the ground, hiding under her hooves.
"Uh, er, Applejack? The Princess is here looking for a little advice on how to fit in around here." Twilight said.
"Fit in? Really?" Appejack said.
Twilight narrowed her eys at the earth pony, and she got up.
"I mean, heh, that's easy! All you gotta do is have the right attitude!"
Applejack shot to the side of the princess. "Loosen up a bit!"
She shot to the other side of her. "Be positive!"
She shot back to the other side of the princess. "Play a few games, have some fun!"
"Fun?" Luna sounded skeptical. "What is this 'fun' thou speakest of?"
We all pointed to a web between to poles and a bowl of spiders a few feet in front of it.
"Cratel? What perpose do these serve?" Luna said as she walked up to the bowl.
"Try, to land the Sp-spiders on the web." A pink pony wearing a bee costume said.
"You know, I feel weird, wearing this stuff. I mean, I'm dressed up as Marcus Fenix from GOW, your dressed up as a Nightingale from Skyrim, Your dressed up as a pimp from Saints Row, and Your dressed up as Gordon Freeman. Everybody else has something like a bee, or a wich." Degree said.
Luna picked up a spider and tossed, and it didn't even touch the web.
"You can do it Princess!" Applejack encouraged.
Luna put a detirmined face on, and tossed a second spider, and landed it straight in the middle of the web.
"Hah! Your princess enjoys this 'Fun'! In what other ways me we experience it?" Luna asked Twilight.
Stary giggled. "She likes fun," He giggled more. "She wants to know other ways to 'experience it." Stary whispered.
"We're the only ones who understand inuenndo, Stary." I said.
Ponies began approaching the princess, not a scared look on their faces.
Luna put a pumpkin in the catapult.
"Fire away, princess!" Twilight said.
Luna pulled the catapult back, and released it, sending the pumpkin flying.
"She hits it. It looks good from here... aaaaannnd..." I said, mimicing a play-by-play voice that you hear when watching golf or something.
The pumpkin hit the center of the target perfectly.
"It's a bullseye! A direct hit! I havent seen a shot like that in ages!" I said, still mimicing the voice.
"Haha! The fun has been doubled!" Luna exclaimed.
Ponies started cheering for the princess.
"And so, history was made that day. And bronies would use the phrase 'The fun has been doubled', for the rest of brony existance." Cloud said.
"How bout' bobbin' fer' apples? We got the best apples here in Equestria!" Applejack suggested.
"I ask that thou call us... me, Luna, fair Applejack. Hear me villagers! All of you! Call me Luna!" Luna announced.
She began walking with Twi, me, and Applejack.
"Show me to theses, 'bobbing apples'" Luna said.
"Whoa!" Pip yelled, as he was losing his balance.
Luna rushed up to him, and Pinkie walked up with a group.
"Hey guys! Anypony seen Pip? We lost him the last time we were runn- " She screamed when she saw Luna pulling Pip out of the bucket by his shirt.
"Nightmre Moon is gobbling Pipsqueak! EVERYPONY RUN!" She bolted away.
The foals screamed, and ran after Pinkie.
"Help! My backside is being gobbled!" Pip exclaimed as he ran mid-air.
Luna dropped him and her ran away from her.
"Tis a lie! Thy backside is whole and ungobbled, thou ungrateful whelp!" Luna slammed her hoof to the ground and lightning struck.
Ponies backed away, scared looks on their faces.
"Fair villagers, please do not back away! Let us join together in... fun!" Luna looked around desperatley.
She grabbed a spider and tossed it in front of the group of scared ponies.
"Not fun enough for you? What say you to this!" She lowered her head and lightning shot out of her horn, and out on the spider.
The spider grew instantly with extra eyes and long legs.
The ponies freaked out and bolted.
Luna shot the whole bowl of spiders, and they did the same, and crawled out and onto the pink pony wearing the bee suit.
"Talk abou irony." Degree said.
The straglers crawled onto the center of the web.
"Huzzah! How many points do I recieve?" Luna said.
A pony that I recognized as Carrot Top screamed as a spider crawled around her hair.
More ponies began panicking, as if it were 2012.
"Do not run away!" Luna said.
A pink pony with a mint mane and a cowboy hat on ran straight into a barrel, knocking it's contents out.
"Who is stupid enough to do that?" I said.
"As your Princess we command you!" Luna shouted, but to no avail.
Ponies were running into eachother, into stalls, knocking over giant fake candies.
"You'd think that they're causing all this chaos on purpose!" Cloud exclaimed.
"BE STILL!" Luna yelled using her Royal Canterlot Voice, and lightning struck behind her.
Even Twilight was scared by this, and shot to the ground.
So did Cloud, Degree, and Stary. I flinched slightly.
Twilight hopped closer to the Princess. "Princess remember! Watch the screaming!"
"No, Twilight Sparkle! We must use the traditional Royal Canterlot Voice, for what we about to say!" Luna's eyes were glowing white.
"Since you choose to fear your Princess instead of love her, and dishonor her, with this insulting celebration! We decree that Nightmare Night shall be canceled! FOREVER!" More lightning struck.
Luna landed and ran off.
"Man, that was harsh." Stary said.
"Well, the whole thing was made because of her old, possesed self. I would be a bit insulted if someone created a holiday because of my dark side." I said.
Applejack sighed. "Shoot. We had everthing goin' our way. Luna was happy, everypony in town was happy, now look at em'."
All the foals were crying, and I slightly teared up at the sad scene.
"But I wanted to be a zombie next year!" A filly exclaimed.
Twilight raised her hoof and looked at something on the ground.
"It's not over yet!" Twilight declared.
"What are you gonna do?" Applejack asked.
"I'm going to do what I do best!"
"Kissing?" I suggested.
Twilight giggled and blushed a bit. "Other than that. Lecture her!"
She galloped around, and looked for the Princess.
I followed her to a bridge where Luna was walking across, her head dropping down.
"Princess?" Twilight said.
"Leave me be Twilight Sparkle." Luna sounded the saddest I've ever heard from anybody-or anypony- else before.
"Princess, I know things haven't gone our way, but believe me when I say Nightmre night is one of the most popular celebrations we have!"
"Yes! I can tell by all the adoring shreiks of the children, as they run away." Luna said sarcasticaly.
"Princess." Twilight said quietly.
Twilight thought for a moment.
Five minutes later...
Pinkie took the bait.
We had placed candy in a trail from the town square to in an alleyway.
Pinkie was bending down to eat another peice of candy.
I shot out from a hiding place and pinned Pinkie to the wall, with on hoof in her mouth.
"No! Don't shreik, okay?" I said, and Twilight came from her hiding place.
"No squealing or screaming either, okay?" Twilight said.
Pinkie mumbled "Okay.".
"There's something I want you to see, but I promise that it's safe, but you really really really can't shreik! Do you promise not to shreik?"
Pinkie nodded her head.
I took my hoof back and stepped away.
Luna walked out from her hiding place.
Pinkie looked at her and made more chicken noises, but covered her mouth.
"Pinkie Pie, you remembed Princess Luna right?" Twilight said.
"Ah. The ring leader of the frightened children. Has thou come to make peace?"
Luna extended a hoof.
Pinkie smiled and reached out with her own.
A cloud hovered above Luna.
I flew up to it, but it shot lightning before I could reverse it.
"NIGHTMARE MOON!" Pinkie yelled, and shot away before making chicken noises.
Rainbow was laughing her flank off.
"Skittles! You just screwed up the whole night for us! The chances are, that was your last scare of the night!" I said, flying up to her.
She stopped laughing. "Well, I guess I didn't think about that..." She rubbed the back of her neck.
Pinkie was bolting out of the alley, before Twilight teleported in front of her, and spun her around, and landed on top of her.
"She's changed Pinkie! She's not evil or scary anymore! And she definatly doesn't want to gobble you up!"
"Well, duh!" Pinkie said.
"Huh?"
"I know that. Sheesh Twilight, I'm almost as big as her, how is hse gonna gobble me up?"
For that instance, Pinkie actualy made sense.
"So why do you keep running away and screaming?"
"Sometimes it's just really fun to be scared!"
"Fun? Pinkie Pie, your a genious!"
"No I'm not, I'm a chicken! BACACK!"
"Princess Luna! I've finally figured out why your having so much trouble being liked!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Forgive me, if I withhold my enthusiasm." Luna said sarcasticaly.
"Come with us! I'll explain everything on the way!" Me and Twilight began walking away.
Ten minutes later...
"Alright Luna, just put these on and you'll look like Nightmare Moon. Best enchantment ever." I said, hoofing her some plastic fangs.
"Are you sure this will work, Chris Shane?" Luna asked.
We had been preparing for a visit from the kids.
Twilight expected the kids to like being scared, so I went along with it.
"Here they come! Hide!" I exclaimed, but whispered and hid behind the statue pedastal.
The kids dropped their bags of candy infront of the pedastal, and Pip was last.
"Goodbye Nightmare Night. Forever." The colt said grimly.
A wind picked up.
"CITIZENS OF PONYVILLE! YOU WERE WISE TO BRING THIS CANDY TO ME! I AM PLEASED WITH YOUR OFFERING! SO PLEASED THAT I MAY JUST EAT IT, INSTEAD OF EATING YOU!" Luna had replaced the statue with herself.
The ponies all screamed, and ran off.
Luna spit out the teeth and turned back to normal.
"I am not certain that did what it meant for you to do, Twilight Sparkle and Chris Shane."
"Just wait!"
"For what for, them to scream some more?"
Something tugged on Luna's hair.
"Um... Princess Luna?" We looked down to see Pip looking up at Luna.
"I know there's not gonna be any more Nightmare Night, but do you suposse maybe you could come back next year, and scare us again anyway?" Pip said.
Luna looked at the group of foals near a bush.
"Child, Art thou saying that thou... likest me to scare you?"
"It's really fun! Scary, but fun!"
"It... tis?"
"Yeah, Nightmare Night is my favorite Night of the year!"
"Well, then, we shall have to bring NIGHTMARE NIGHT BACK!" Luna shouted, causing Pip to fly back.
"Whoa! Your my favorite Princess ever!" He ran to hug her hooves, and ran back to the group.
"She said yes guys!" The kids all cheered.
"See? They really do like you princess!" Twilight exclaimed.
"They do? OH MOST WONDERFUL OF- I mean, oh most wonderful of nights."
Later that night...
"Dear Princess Celestia, when you first sent me to ponyville, I didn't know anything about friendship." Twilight began her letter, but I was to deep in though to listen to the rest.
Since I've already let six humans into Equestria, think about how many could be here.
Like I said, Barrack Obama could be here.
Man, we'll be the only ones laughing at our jokes in the party.
"Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle." Twilight finished her letter.
A huge amount of lighting struck, and I saw a rainbow shoot through the sky.
A cloud lowered with Luna in it.
We all laughed.
"So Chris Shane. What's this I hear about you and Twilight Sparkle?" Luna asked.
"You've heard right." I replied.
Luna chuckled. "Of course. Now do you really like him, or is he just an alien experiment?" Luna joked.
"A little bit of both." Twilight said.
We chuckled.
"Happy Nightmare Night you two." Luna said before floating off.
"So, Twilight." I began.
"Yeah Chris?"
I responded with a spoon dip kiss.
Man, I'm such a romantic.
I broke the kiss. "Happy Nightmare Night."
