Months had passed, Summer had come and gone; many shenanigans with Blueprint and Luna had happened. Nightmare night was tonight.
“Oh, Blueprint!”, Luna called from the hallway as she trotted toward his door. Luna's starry mane trailing behind her as her hooves clopped along the floor.
Blueprint rolled out of bed falling onto the nice plush area rug he had bought himself after saving up the bits; he had become accustomed to his aunts amusements and the time of the night where she was most likely to rouse him from slumber.
Getting to his hooves still groggy from being asleep he shook out his mane as best he could and lazily stepped to the large double doors too
lazy to conjure up magic Blueprint pushed down the handle with a wing.
“Yes, Auntie?” Blueprint asked looking up to see Luna looking down at him.
“Why does thou not use magic, like thyself?”, Luna asked since it was the first thing to come to the forefront of her mind.
“I use it sparingly Auntie. Now what is it you woke me about?”, Blueprint asked tail swishing tiredly.
“It is a celebration! For the Nightmare Holiday hast begun!” Luna shouted flaring her wings proudly.
Nightmare Night was Luna's Holiday after all.
“Auntie, Nightmare Night isn't until tonight.”, Blueprint spoke softly still half asleep his wings drooping with exhaustion.
“But!”, Luna said a bit wilted. “It is night time and it is day of Nightmare night.”
Blueprint looked up at his aunt noticing that she seemed and looked hurt by his words. Surrogate or not Blueprint did love his new family.
“Alright, we can go terrorize the solar guards” Blueprint said with a smile and an affectionate nuzzle toward his aunt.
“HUZZAH!” Luna shouted with gale wind force and throwing her front hooves high into the air in triumph, causing Blueprint to flap his wings to say upright. Terrorizing the solar guards had become quite the past time for Luna and Blueprint even if it meant Blueprint lost some sleep
“We knew we could get you to help! Give us a moment to get ready” She grinned.
She began her chant quietly her mouth barely moving.
In the night we rend, to the fear we tend.
Lust and Fight makes us right.
To the weak we weep
To the strong we reap
In this night let us fight.
Poof! Nightmare Lunamoon.
“Are we ready?”, Luna's quiet sultry and seductive voice asked.
“As always Auntie”, Blueprint said trotting out the door. Luna cantered next to him gleefully.
A few minutes later.
Luna had used magic to make herself look just like a statue of herself in her “Nightmare” form meant for war. She now stood on a pedestal stock still breathing from her stomach so she wasn’t noticeable. Blueprint lurked around behind a pillar. Two solar guards in full armor stood on either side of the pedestal unknowing of the living statue above them. Luna leaned down and whispered quietly into the guards ear.
“Hello” She said simply and quietly before snapping back to her pose on the pedestal before he could look toward her.
“Hey, did you hear that?” Left Guard said.
“No.” Right guard replied.
Luna stayed quiet and leaned down to the right guard this time and whispered in his ear.
“Your not imagining things at all” Luna spoke softly using a tendril of magic to rub behind his ear slowly before once again snapping back to her pose.
“Hey, did you hear something?” Right Guard said a bit apprehensively.
“Nope.” Left guard said flatly.
Luna looked at both of them with a wide grin without being noticed. Removing the statute cloak. Speaking loudly to both of them this time; her Nightmare regalia gleaming.
“Hello boys!”
Both guards screamed like mares in spring and ran off before crashing headfirst into each other. Little stars circled their helmets as their eyes revolved in their sockets both groaning in pain. Luna and Blueprint were no where to be seen when the guards came to their senses and noticed the statute was gone.
Luna and Blueprint laughed and chuckled together as they strolled along to the next destination in mind.
“Blueprint, The kitchens?” Luna asked looking down at Blueprint.
“Agreed!” Blueprint said merrily trotting along with Luna down the hallways of the castle.
The kitchen doors loomed ahead. Luna's nightmare regalia clinked as she stepped closer to the large white double doors. Crouching low blueprint stalked behind Luna much like a timber wolf stalking it's prey. Luna hid in the shadows between two pillars, her blue feral snake like eyes glowing ominously against the blackness of the shadows.
“Ok, Blueprint go to the door and open it” Luna spoke softly and quietly not wanting to alert anyone.
Doing as he was told Blueprint nudged the door open and retreated back into the shadows, his ashen gray coat blending in nicely with the marble walls.
Not to long after a flour covered server stepped into the hallway to inspect the ajar door. Turning to close it she made the mistake of turning her back to Luna. Who stepped out of the shadows and nipped the tip of the servers ear.
“Hullo there.”, Luna cooed softly
The server gasped and whirled around.
“P...Princess Luna! I didn’t recognize you.”, The server stammered.
“My, my what beautiful aqua eyes you have.” Luna said stroking her face softly with a hoof.
The server mare blushed wildly and averted her gaze as best she could.
“My chambers now. I will come for you later.” Luna spoke seductively again before releasing the mare.
The mare scurried off. Luna coming back to reality blinked a few times and looked over at Blueprint.
“We will get Cele in the morning”? Luna said with a smile her nightmare regalia dissipating into nothing.
Blueprint simply nodded slinking out of the shadows and standing next to Luna. Luna simply grinned as her horn ignited and her starry mane began to mold and shape itself slowly into a ball above her head. Afro Luna!
Blueprint giggled and fell over onto his back laughing wildly. Luna gave a soft giggle before cantering toward the throne room. Blueprint flitted above Luna flapping his wings idly.
“What are we doing now?”, Blueprint asked looking down at Luna.
“Well little Blueprint, I think its best that you go back to bed and we will get Cele in the morning during tea.” Luna spoke tipping her head back to see up at Blueprint.
Blueprint nodded and dropped back onto the marble floors.
“Goodnight Auntie, I always have fun with you.” Blueprint spoke with a blush looking at the floor.
“As I do as well” Luna said with a smile.
“Be off, I have duties to attend to and a colt needs his sleep in order to become a stallion.”
