My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Episode 7: Rarity's Nightmare Night
By Master Cheese Cake
Tonight is a very special night because it was Nightmare Night where ponies dress up and go around door to door getting loads of candy. There were only two ponies that were not in to this at least this year… actually there is only one pony who wasn't into this and that was Rarity. She never dresses up on this day nor leaves her house. That is why every year she volunteers to go out of Ponyville to get supplies for Celestmas decorations and the best materials are in Manehattan plus it was the closest city to Ponyville.
Rarity was walking in the streets with supplies on a cart looking for someone, "Where is he? I knew I should have gone alone, but he did offer and now he disappeared." She mumbles to herself.
"When I get my hooves on him I could just… just … uh just do something."
Rarity stops as she passes by a shop and enters. She approaches the clerk who is reading something.
"Excuse me but do you have any red and green streamers?"
He turns with book in hoof covering his face, "Yes we do. How much do you need?"
"I need at least one hundred of those rolls half red and other half green"
"Alright I'll even throw some white streamers in for free."
"Why thank you, but why?"
He slowly drops the book from blocking his face, "Well because Rarity I am your friend."
"Cheese Cake, how dare you leave a lady to carry all those supplies out there when you said you'd help?"
"Well I wanted to get here first, so I can ask my cousin if he'd give us a discount on all this stuff and to surprise you."
"Alright I forgive you, but you have to pull the cart the rest of the way. That means to the remaining shops we have to visit and back to Ponyville."
"Of course madam Rarity," Cheese Cake says with a French accent.
"So, what is the discount for these streamers?"
"Well it's free for you I already paid half for the one hundred streamers and he said I can have ten free rolls of white streamers with the purchase."
Then another pony enters the room form the backroom with a box, "Here you go Cheese Cake your order of streamers."
"Thanks Stream, say hi to your dad for me."
"Will do."
Cheese Cake and Rarity both exit the shop to go and continue their shopping in the west side of the city, As they walk they can see all the young ones have fun and joy as they get their delicious candy from door to door. He stops for a moment as he saw a pony wrapped in strips of paper which reminded him of himself when he was young dressing up as a mummy.
"Ah, those were some good times," Cheese Cake talking to himself.
"Come on Cheese Cake we don't have all night."
He quickly catches up with Rarity, "Hey sorry one of the ponies reminded me of when I went around wrapped in strips of paper getting candy. What did you dress up like when you were a little pony?"
"Um you know fairy princess and a princess that stuff."
"How come you don't dress up now?"
Rarity stops, "Look we're here."
"Ah yes the most important part of Celestmas decoration for the trees."
"Yep especially for the contest we're going to have in Ponyville for best tree decorations."
"Oh look pumpkin carving. I remember the time my family would make so many of those for the town we lived in. I can I please go and carve one."
"Fine you can go, but meet me at the edge of town after you're done carving okay."
"Yes ma'am."
Rarity went through the list of shops left they had to go to get the certain supplies for the holiday. After all the shops she had to go to, she went to the edge of town that would lead to Ponyville.
She waited for about ten minutes now and Cheese Cake hasn't showed up yet, but it's been actually been thirty minutes from her roaming of the city.
"Where is that colt? He does this again and leaves you here in the dark edges of the town."
Then a rustle in the bushes next to her startles her, "Hello, is anyone there?"
All of a sudden she hears deep voice of laughter surround her.
"Who's there?"
The bush rustles more vigorously time and then Cheese Cake reveals his head from the bush.
Rarity was embarrassed with anger and lectures, "Cheese Cake why you? I could tear off you head right now for doing this."
But more is revealed as his head floats and a pony with no head in a tuxedo walks out from the bushes, "Looks like I beat you to it my little pony."
"It's… it's the… the Headless Horse!" Rarity panics
"I see that you know my work around here."
"What did you do to Cheese Cake and please don't hurt me I'm… I'm too young and beautiful to have my head removed."
"He got too curious when he saw me walking away into the forest of the night and followed me, which was a mistake. And I'm sorry my dear, but your head would make an excellent addition to my collection of all the pretty ponies I have gotten in the past year."
"Well, I'm flattered, but no, no please spare me."
She closes her eyes and buries her head to the ground for this was her final sight of life, but then she opens her eyes when she hears giggling.
"Rarity it's just me Cheese Cake."
"Wait… wha… what?"
He unbuttons the tuxedo and reveals his face, "See its little old me."
"You… you… you crazy pony that's it we are no longer friends!"
Cheese Cake was surprised of this reaction he got, "Rarity it was just a joke."
"I'm not listening to you," she says and walks into the forest and back to Ponyville leaving the cart with Cheese Cake.
"I'm sorry," he says as she disappears into the darkness.
Ten minutes later…
Rarity just kept walking and didn't let him catch up what so ever, "That colt just drives me crazy, but he did say sorry. Oh Rarity what have you done? That's it I'm going back to apologize for such an outbreak."
Before she turned around the Headless Horse leaps out from the tree line, "I've been watching you and I want you head."
"Not this again Cheese Cake."
"I am not this Cheese Cake that you speak of. I am the true Headless Horse."
"Oh yeah prove it."
The Headless Horse had a tuxedo just like Cheese Cake, but when he buttons it he had no head.
"It's… it's the… the Headless Horse!"
Cheese Cake was pulling the cart back and following the trail that Rarity left from stomping the ground in anger. He was also having a conversation with his head that he carved from the pumpkin he used.
"Cheese Cake I don't know what to do now. Tell me how I earn Rarity's friendship back."
He grabs the lower jaw and moves it, "You should do something special for her like take her out to dinner."
"Yeah she does like fancy places maybe a fancy restaurant."
"I have a better idea Cheese Cake you should set up your bakery to become a super fancy restaurant where you can take her and apologize."
"Cheese Cake that a genius idea. Where do you come up with these ideas?"
"I just have the brains that can come up with creative ideas."
"Are you sure when I was carving you I didn't put a brain inside you head I took out all of the seeds though?"
"That's because I can tap into other ponies' brains."
"So, what you're saying is your psychic?"
"Yes, yes I am."
"What color am I thinking of?"
"You are thinking of golden brown toast."
"Oh my gosh you are psychic that's so cool and plus you give way better advice than my toaster all it does is sit there for five minutes and gives me toast. I always question its thinking I mean really toast is going to make everything better."
*Rarity screams*
Pumpkin Cheese Cake hears this scream, "Cheese Cake did you hear that scream? It sounds like Rarity she's in trouble."
"Yeah I did. Okay Cheese Cake you stay here with the cart while I go check it out."
"Roger that."
Cheese Cake runs through the forest and looks swiftly for Rarity. Then he crashes into something and both of them roll into a tree making the leaves pile up on top of them.
"Cheese Cake it's you. I'm so glad to see you."
"Yeah… ow… I think I sprained a hoof. What were you screaming about?"
She backs up as the Headless Horse rises from the pile of leaves, "Uh I was screaming about him."
He looks at the blob coming out of the leaves and then the tuxedo falls off to reveals a unicorn of light blue that had white hair with a cutie mark of a star wand with the flow of magic wrapping around it.
Rarity recognized this pony, "Is that you, Trixie or should I say The Great and Powerful Trixie."
"Hello Ugly we meet again."
"The last time I saw you. You ran from us because you weren't powerful enough to face a Usar Minor and boast your powerfulness to everypony."
"I've been improving my magic and then I'll be able to beat that friend of yours, Twilight Sprinkles."
"It's actually Sparkle," Cheese Cake corrects.
"Whatever. Sadly I can't stay to humiliate you in front of your friend, but I have more important things to do."
Then a smoke of cloud screens their view and Trixie disappears from sight.
"Wow, I'm guessing there is a history between you two."
"Yes, but let's get home and I'll explains on the way back. Hey where's the cart?"
"I left it with Cheese Cake."
"Yeah, but you're here."
"I know, but Cheese Cake got under control."
"Ooooookay, let's go back now shall we."
Thirty minutes later…
Rarity had finally finished explaining the whole story of Trixie to Cheese Cake and they didn't realize they were back in Ponyville where they were still celebrating Nightmare Night.
"Look Cheese Cake I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier, the reason why I did break out was because when I was a little pony the other ponies would scare me Nightmare Night, so I could never enjoy it. That's why I never want to join in on this day, but you showed me there really isn't anything to be scared of now… well for except that," Rarity pointing to the pumpkin head.
"Don't worry, he only know every little detail about."
"Gee I wonder why?"
"I know why it's because he psychic."
"Okay well see you tomorrow," she takes the cart off his back and drags it back to her boutique. "Oh and I almost forgot *kisses him on the cheek* thank you for saving me from The Trixie."
"You're welcome."
Spike sees this from afar, "I knew I should have helped Rarity with that darn it. Maybe next year Spike, maybe next year."
Twilight notices them getting back and decides to tell them the news, "Hey Cheese Cake, Rarity, look who's here with us."
"Oh it's Princess Luna. How'd it go with her?" Cheese Cake asks.
"Well at first she was a bit scary, because she was still trying to adjust to the new world. She was being herself a little too much."
"Why what was she doing that was too much?"
"She was speaking with a very loud voice."
"That's it."
"She also had a little scary entrance to Ponyville."
"Well if she asks where I am tell her I am talking with my toaster and I am unavailable."
"What?"
Princess Luna drops into the conversation, "Hello, Twilight who's your… huh it's you from yesterday. I just wanted to let you know that your advice for being me didn't work out so well. I always do dramatic entrances and it ended up scaring all of Ponyville plus speaking in my loud voice only helped them fear more."
"I have to go talk to… um… my toaster see you," Cheese Cake says and takes off.
"Wait hold on," Luna says and chases after him.
"What's that all about?" Twilight asks.
"I don't know," Rarity is confused as much as Twilight.
"I see you came back with the Celestmas supplies."
"Yup, and this year it will be beautiful."
"Hope so, so see you tomorrow."
"See you Twilight."
Dear Princess Celestia,
Today my friend taught me that I shouldn't stop something that I like just because of a little scare that was involved, but I should rather enjoy it or face it. I also learned that I shouldn't get so angry at something that is silly and friendly.
Twilight's Friend,
Rarity
