//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 - Leon and Nixie // Story: Leon's Ponyville Adventure // by Yosh-E-O //------------------------------// KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK Leon looked up from his playing as his caretaker, Nixy, entered into his room. “Bedtime already?” he pouted. Nixy shook her head. “No,” she cooed while using her hoof to rub upon the black-colored dragon’s head. “You still have a few more minutes.” Leon sighed with relief while gesturing with his claws for the pony caretaker to look at what he was working on. “Hmm,” Nixy playfully hummed. “That’s quite the town you’ve built.” “I know,” beamed Leon as his finned ears perked to show his glee. “It’s a pony town like the one you told me about in bedtime stories.” “Really?” she asked curiously. “Yeah!” chirped the purple-bellied dragon. “I built the Sugar Cube Corner and Golden Oaks Library, too!” Nixy gleefully took notice of how Leon had used building blocks, dress-up clothes, and construction paper to design some of the sights of Ponyville she had told him about over many a night’s bedtime story. “I’m impressed!” she commented. “I also like the giant robot that is guarding the town, too.” Leon laughed. “Everything is better with giant robots!” he proudly proclaimed. “You are indeed the clever one,” Nixie commented while nuzzling Leon with her muzzle. “Perhaps I can play with you tomorrow and make our own story of Ponyville?” “Really?” hoped Leon as his green eyes widened. “Really,” chuckled Nixie before giving the little dragon a kiss. “However, for now, it’s time to go to sleep.” “Why?” asked Leon. “I thought I still had time to play.” “Well,” shrugged Nixie while pointing her white hoof towards a wall clock that was shaped like a mecha. “It’s that time.” Leon’s fins dropped along with his head. “Hey,” Nixie perked. “The sooner you go to bed and get some sleep the sooner we can make our own Ponyville adventure!” Leon smiled again as he waddled his way towards his bed. He had nothing on but a night time diaper that made walking just a tad awkward. “You’re so cute,” cooed Nixie as she used her Unicorn magic to dim the lights, activate Leon’s special night light that displayed a starscape upon his ceiling, and position the blanket over his body. “And I should have those pajamas of yours all sewed up by tomorrow, too.” Leon blushed. “Not my fault they got all ripped up while I was playing,” he stated. Nixie chuckled as she replied, “I know. I suppose having that coat hook by the front door by the stairs isn’t such a good idea.” Leon thought back on how he had been dashing about the house in his pajamas until he took a mighty leap down the stairs that accidentally resulted in him getting caught on one of the uncovered, coat hooks. When he went to keep running, the hook did not let go until it had all of his pajamas and revealed him to be only wearing a white, disposable diaper. “Yeah,” agreed Leon. “That hook needs moved.” Nixie laughed. “I’ll get right on that after I fix those pajamas,” she said before giving Leon a kiss on the forehead. “You just get a good night’s rest and think on all the fun we’re going to have tomorrow with your amazing model of Ponyville!” “Okay,” Leon beamed while allowing his mind to slip off into all the amazing possibilities for stories he and Nixie could come up with. “Nighty-night.” The white Unicorn trotted out of Leon’s room. She then turned back, blew him a kiss, and shut his door until only a small crack remained to shine the light from the hallway inward. “Good… night…,” the little dragon yawned as his eyes gradually closed and his happy thoughts sent him into slumber land.
