Chapter 8: Plans for Nightmare Night

I grinned as I was putting the finishing touches on my costume, I trotted out of the room with a grin, a pair of bat-like wings strapped to my back as well as a pair of fake fangs.

Octavia frowned at me with disdain “What is that ridiculous costume you’re wearing for?”

I pouted “This is my Nightmare Night costume, it makes me look like a Vampire.”

Octavia glared at me “That costume is an insult to all vampires!” She then sighed “I’ll get somepony to make you a proper one, I wonder if Rarity could prepare something quick for you.”

I grinned “Well I was planning to visit Ponyville for Nightmare Night this year. It is so much better than the stuffy Canterlot parties they hold here for Nightmare Night.”

Octavia frowned “Well then we should pay Ponyville a visit, we can get you a proper costume and I can get an apology from a certain pink pony.”

I was about to speak when I felt a pair of pink hooves grab me, I growled “Are you fucking kidding me right now!” My horn glowed as I fought to hold myself here, I sighed “Pinkie’s reality warping powers are pulling me to one of her parties, I’ll see you in Ponyville.”

I took a deep breath as I was pulled through reality, I frowned to see I was sitting at a turntable my purple glasses has appeared on my face. I rolled my eyes as I put my hooves on the turntable and began playing one of my favourite tracks.

I felt something strange in the air, I’ve always been able to detect pure dark magic but this was strong if stifled. My eyes narrowed at a dark blue unicorn with a telescope one her flank, I would have said something but she didn’t seme to be causing an issue. She was dancing with Princess Twilight, a smile on her face.

I frowned, in truth I didn’t know much about Twilight other than the fact she couldn’t dance to save her life. Still the dark power I felt coming off her dance partner had me concerned, I shrugged it was not any of my business and this party was just another one of Pinkie’s parties. I just kinda drown them out, Pinkie has pulled me into her parties so many times.

Once the party was over I saw Octavia standing there with Pinkie Pie, I trotted over to the two “Octavia, you are going to be civil right?”

Octavia nodded before turning to Pinkie “I was performing at the Grand Galloping Gala and then you put on that song. I lost my home, if it wasn’t for Vinyl I would be out on the street.”

Pinkie’s eyes widened as she teared up, she wrapped Octavia in a massive hug “I’mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sssssssssssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ssssssssssssssssssssssssoooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!”

I pulled Pinkie off Octavia with a glow of my horn “You won’t get forgiveness by hugging her to death.”

Octavia took a deep breath, she then looked at Pinkie “It’s forgiven, jus don’t do it again.”

Pinkie nodded with a smile “I won’t, cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.”

I took a deep breath “Octavia and I need to go, we need to get my Nightmare Night costume ready.”

Pinkie gave them a cheery smile “Okey Dokey Lokey, I’ll see you at my next party.”

I took a deep breath as I waved with Octavia trotted beside me. Octavia raised an eyebrow at me “Why are you so tense, it’s not that pink mare is dangerous or anything?”

My eyes widened “You have no idea do you, I felt her full power only once and that was when we met for the first time. I was hunting down a powerful demon that had escaped from Tartarus about a year before I met you.”

Flashback

I was tracking the Demon’s tracks, I smelt blood in the air. I approached where I suspected the Demon to be, I growled as I saw the massive bipedal dark blue demon standing before me. It’s deep menacing voice spoke “So you are the who has been following me.”

I growled as I delivered a mighty blow to his face only for him to shrug it off like nothing, he chuckled “Impressive, I actually felt that. I usually don’t even feel the thud, still you are a potential threat and must be eliminated.”

I gasped as I felt a huge punch slam into my gut, I could barely stand as the pain was so great. I closed my eyes as I knew death was coming, that I was going to die. Then I felt a huge pool of magic beyond anything I thought possible as if an endless ocean appeared in front of me. I opened my eyes to see a pink mare with a bouncy pink mane in front of me, she turned me to me with a smile “I’ll handle this.”

The demon’s punch collided with her face only for it to stop instantly, she then turned around and with a single strike the demon exploded into a pile of blood. She then smiled “You’re DJ Pon3 right, I have a party tonight and could sue the help of a skilled DJ like you.”

Present Day

Octavia blinked “Wait Pinkie killed a demon from Tartarus?”

I nodded “She could beat anypony if she wanted to. I have no wish to seen what a angry Pinkie Pie could do .”

Octavia simply gulped as we arrived at Rarity’s door, she took a deep breathe and knocked on the door. I frowned as the pony that must be Rarity trotted out, she smiled “Octavia, are you here for another emergency repair?”

Octavia shook her head “I need you to make us some high quality vampire costumes for Nightmare Night.”

Rarity grinned “It would be my pleasure.” I sighed as I saw the glint in her eyes knowing we would be here for a long time.
