// Nightmares on Nightmare Night. 
// Story: Tales from Tinies. 
// by MrAquino 
//------------------------------//

It was a few days away from Nightmare Night, and Princess Luna thought hard about what to do for Nightmare Night with the Tinies. If there was one thing she loved to do to everyone, it’s scaring them, but all in good fun, not out of spite. She made herself a personal raffle on where she was going, to the town of Ponyville, but was unsure how to scare the kids. Most of them, however, involved her going to said villages, and with her size, a building was bound to be crushed or destroyed accidentally. But, she heard some Tiny employees pass by her room.

“Yeah, I’ve helped clean Luna’s room before.” One of them, a gruff sounding man. “It’s kinda messy, but not impossible.”

“Tell me about it,” another, less gruff man replied. “She’s always out, hunting for lost kids.”

“You know who she reminds me of?” A woman asked.

“Who?” The two men asked.

“She’s always hunting kids and can control dreams… She’s just a gigantic Freddy Krueger!” They all snickered away, though, they shushed each other.

“Let’s not tell Princess Luna about this, okay?” Their middle man whispered. However, it was too late. Luna opened the door to her room and looked down at the trio.

“And who is this ‘Freddy Krueger’?” She asked.





After going through some dreams, Luna got the horrific looking character that was Freddy Krueger. He was someone that can control dreams, like Luna, but is really powerful, and evil, rivaling that of her alternate persona, Nightmare Moon. A man with burnt skin, a single hand that wears a glove with sharp blades, wearing a dark red & green striped sweater and fedora, who killed children in their dreams, and in their sleep. It was everything Luna feared about becoming… but… surprisingly… in a twisted way, she kinda liked it. And hearing that despite being a killer, he was full of personality when it came to his killings. Luna knew she wouldn’t, nor couldn’t, hurt the kids, and had no intention to, but felt like this needs to happen this Nightmare Night.

Nightmare Night was tomorrow, but Luna decided to do something strange. Freddy Krueger was a monster of dreams, so, when Midnight struck, that’s when she would decide to have herself some fun with the Tiny Children in Ponyville, celebrate Nightmare Night before it officially began. But, she wanted to make sure everything was right, especially her looks. As soon as her shift began, she went into the dream world and began to make herself look the part.

“Hmm...  striped shirt,” The longsleeve shirt appeared on her body. “Fedora.” The hat popped onto her head. “Nice. Finally, The claw hand.” The claw hand appeared over her right hoof. “Hmm, let’s edit this a bit.” The hand part went away, making it a metal hoof with the claw pieces showing. She began to move each digit around, both to get the feel, and get some control over her new piece so she won’t accidentally hurt any child on purpose. She smiled a bit maliciously before looking into the mirror. “Behold, children, Luna Krueger is here!”









Inside Ponyville’s Tiny village, every child laid asleep, having dreams of their very own. Some dreamt about being a superhero, others as brave explorers, and others having big dreams of success. Not all of the children shared the same dream, and not all made sense, but, all of that almost came to a halt as they felt something happening. They looked up in their respectful dreams, seeing a huge slash mark in the sky, which ripped open, revealing what looked like a blue place with white stars… only for the giant head of Luna to pop in, making all the kids back up.

“Greeting, children!” Luna announced with a booming voice. “You’ve all been selected to play my personal game! What it is, I can’t say, but anyone who loses… well.” She hopped in, shrinking down to size… kinda. The few kids that were around fell onto their backs, with Luna landing just inches away from them. She summoned a jar and scooped all the kids around her with her magic, with the remaining kids running away and/or hiding.That’s when Luna picked up some kids with her claws, using the blunt to gently squeeze but firmly hold them. They struggled in her grasp.

“Ah, the first morsels for the night.”

“W-what!?” One of the kids panicked. Luna lifted her clawed hoof in the air and dangled them over her open maw. The kids went into shock, some freezing in place while others tried to fight her. Wasting no time, Luna released them, making the kids to momentarily free fall before landing on her soft tongue. She closed her mouth before they could scream, then tilted her head and swallowed. Even in the dream world, they tasted great, and were filling. The princess looked around, seeing the different ‘worlds’, where she licked her lips.

“I’m going to enjoy this, children.”







Are you it?

A slightly chubby kid with jet black hair wearing a short sleeved blue shirt and a pair of black shorts, named Negan, ran through a dark alleyway, dragging alongside him was his trusty baseball bat. The alley of what was a old run down street with cracks of vegetation growing out of the ground below him as he ran

“I’m coming for you, children~” An echoing voice of Luna spoke but it was more waving in away in the wind as a long shadowy figure was looming on the brick walls.

Negan  looked behind him to see a small army of bizarre creatures all jet black and oozing they would morph into a black blob and separate into multiple creatures of each in an odd shape and form all with glowing bright yellow eyes. Negan was to busy looking at the creatures and tripped over a loose brick laying in the street. “Oh no. Oh no. Oh no!” The morphing blobs of black soon were on top of him and slimy oozing clawed hand reached out grabbing Negan by the leg and pulling him forward towards the blob, Negan screamed for help clawing at the ground he quickly grabbed his baseball bat and swung down on the head splitting it with a loud splat.

Negan picked himself up and continued running down the alley, the black blob started sprouting clawed hands and those hands started to split into points and soon they took the shape of massive spider with tentacles protruding from the center of the spider at the end of the tentacles were bright red glowing eyeballs that all pointed in the same direction Negan had ran.

As he continued running Negan could hear faint thumping and stomping he didn’t want to look back he didn’t want to see what was coming all he wanted to do was run, a hissing shriek made Negan stop when the giant oozing spider leaped out in front of him the eyes all gathered together and pointed there blazing multiple gazes on him. “St-Stay away!!!” Negan swung his bat at the eyes breaking them off their stems and bounce like balls with loud splashes and squishes. “T-T-There’s more where that came from!!!” He screamed and swung his bat back and forth hitting each eyeball. A long oozing leg of the spider came crashing down next to him he quickly stuck the leg breaking it off making the spider shriek!

“HELP ME!” Negan yelled taking off in the other direction, Negan ran down a long narrow path and soon came across split. Multiple paths leading into seven different foggy alleyways, Negan could hear the shrieking spider’s thundering steps he made a quick choice and ran he closed his eyes going through the fog and finding himself in a town.

The town looked abandoned the buildings were old and had broken glass shattered everywhere Negan slowly walked into the square of the town unsure of the whole place, low moaning could be heard as figures could be seen slowly wandering around and inside the buildings.

The moaning grew louder and out of the buildings came an army of rotting zombies, the walking corpses lumbered over to the frightened boy he fightened his grip on the baseball bat as they all neared him getting closer and closer. Negan’s bat stuck across the one of the zombie’s head making its skull blow up in green goo, the first zombie fell and Negan swung left and right beating into a zombie knocking it down, swinging his bat into the head of another zombie causing it to fall with a loud splat. Negan pushed passed the zombies knocking some of down with the bat knocking loose their legs making the zombies fall and flop into each other.

Negan ran into a nearby building closing the door behind him and pushing a desk up to it. Negan had to catch his breath he whipped away some sweat he looked outside the shattered window seeing all the zombies gathering around and just standing there all mere inches from the door and soon all the zombies started oozing black goo out of there mouths and eyes soon the goo pooled around them and the zombies morphed into a titanic form of Princess Luna or at least her head in a oozing form that peaked in the window with her bright glowing eye. Negan panicked backing away soon the oozing black seeped through the windows cracks in the wooden walls, the room began to shake and tremble the boy panicked backing away the room’s ceiling tiles began to fall and soon the oozing clear saliva dripped through the ceiling large boulders of white teeth poked up were the door and walls were and surrounded him, Negan felt a moistness at his feet looking down seeing the floor morph into a gigantic stinky tongue the floor in the back split and broke till soon a gaping hole opened up in the floor the gigantic tongue lifted up breaking the whole room sending Negan sliding down into the abyss.

Negan screamed clawing at the boards of the floor and hanging there just a mere inch from falling down into the tunnel below Negan saw long stretchy hands snaking their way across the tongue and grabbed Negan by the wrists and pulled at him and finally pulling him free and flung him down into the hole.

Negan flung through tunnel till it became a fleshy tube that he started sliding down and down like a long slimy slide Negan bounced off the narrow tube walls and was still sliding down the tunnel he came to stop at a sphincter that opened letting him flop out and fall into a gigantic chamber. It was dark, very dark Negan felt the slimy floor around him he was about to panic when the stomach light up with bright lights of orange and blues there was jack-o-lanterns, Halloween and Nightmare Night lights and decorations littered everywhere in the chamber that was Luna’s stomach the lights hovered with the power of Luna’s magic, and piles and piles of candy laying everywhere with floating table filled with punch.

“Congratulations, young one, you’re now my guest. Enjoy your rewards.” Luna’s calm and gentle voice echoed throughout the stomach. Negan was confused but now happy he was in a warm safe place and had plenty of treats now that he was done being tricked.






Sly as a snake.
By MrAquino


Inside one of the jungles, George ran past the trees, fully aware that Luna was going around and eating other kids, but it surely couldn’t be real, could it? Either way, he wasn’t going become Luna’s snack. His dream of being a brave explorer wasn’t going to end that quickly; he had his trusty machete and wits that will lead him. Unfortunately, Luna followed him nearby, having turned herself into a large snake. She never really bothered to shapeshift in dreams, but it was a way for her to spice up her hunts and fit the themes of the various dreams. The literal snake watched as George ran through the jungle, all alone. It was her time to shine.

“... Ok… it all seems good.” George spoke, resting on a tree and taking deep breaths. “Come on, gotta wake up and get outta this nightmare!”

“Oh, and why would you do that?” Luna spoke from above with some hissing. George looked up, seeing the Luna-Snake slither down. He screamed and jumped back, holding up his machete.

“N-no! B-Back off! I don’t want to hurt you!”

“Oh, and neither do I, Georgie.” Luna’s tail went over his shoulder, making him jump and shover her tail off him.

“I-I know what you’re planning! I’m going to get out of this nightmare! You’re not gonna eat me!”

“Oh? You really think that was me?” He held his machete at her.

“Don’t play dumb with me!” Luna’s tail gently lowered the weapon.

“Oh, you poor dearie, afraid and alone in this dream of yours, not willing to trust anyone.”

“I-I don’t trust you! I only trust my friends!”

“But I am a friend to all. What you saw was a tantibus.” She began to slither around his legs, making him jump out.

“A Tanti-what?”

“A Tantibus. A monster that affects dreams. Only I can defeat it, but, alas, I’m too weak to do so.”

“How? Aren’t you… like, a superhero or something?”

“An Alicorn, but it took my power away, and the only thing that can help me beat it, is with you, and the other children.”

“... What? H-how!?”

“Simple. Just, trust in me.” She slithered around him.

“T-trust you?” Luna’s horn glowed, making her eyes swirly.
“Exactly.” With her same magic, music began to play as she climbed the tree, carrying a hypnotized George.

Trust in me
Just in me
Shut your eyes
Trust in me

You can sleep
Safe and sound
Knowing I
Am around

She began to toy with George, purposely tossing him into the air, only for her to wrap around him and becoming his slide, to which he was trapped in her snake-like body.

Slip into silent slumber
Sail on a silver mist
Slowly and surely
Your senses
Will cease to resist

His eyes began to close and she gave a teasing lick to his face.

Just relax
Be at rest
Like a bird
In a nest
Trust in me
Just in me
Shut your eyes
And trust in me

She unhinged her jaws and slowly began to swallow the sleeping George. His head was the first to be in her mouth, which was followed by his torso, and his legs. She swallowed his form and giggled at the feeling, then watched his bulge slowly disappear into her belly.

Trust in me
Just in me
Shut your eyes
And trust in me






Drive
By MrAquino


A trio of siblings, Timmy, Tommy, and Sue, looked around their dream world. What was very innocently started as a dream where they saw dinosaurs quickly turned into a run for survival, as Luna was around, hunting them and other kids.

“Tommy? You alright?” Timmy asked.

“Yeah,” Tommy replied. “No sign of Luna yet. Where should we go, Sue?” Sue was hanging on the trees, looking around, and seeing the other dreams around. Each one was very vast and different, but she was what looked like a city.

“We should head That way!” She pointed. “To the City!”

“A city?” The brothers asked.

“Yeah. We can hide around the buildings. Luna won’t spot us there!”

“Any other reason?” Tommy asked.

BOOM!!! The floor shook violently.

“Get in the car!” Timmy yelled, running into and turning on their jeep. Tommy and Sue followed suit.

BOOM!!! BOOM!!! CRASH!!! Luna broke a tree down, showing herself as the ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex! She let out a terrifying roar

“DRIVE!!!” Sue screamed. Timmy stepped on the gas, making the car go fast. Although they had a head start, the Lunasaurus Rex chased after them, making small earthquakes with each of her steps. She was gaining on them, letting out a terrifying roar! Tommy and Sue screamed for their lives, with Timmy sweating hard, trying his best to make sure they’re getting away from her! He saw what was a near fallen tree and drove to it.

“Get down!” He yelled. They followed as Luna went down to bite down on them, but instead, got a tree branch to her mouth. She snarled loudly, attempting to throw it away, letting the trio to drive away fastly.

“... I think we lost her.” Tommy spoke.

“Let’s hope we did.” Timmy replied, driving out of the jungles, which lead to a long road to a city. “Where should we hide in the city?”

“Well, we should find a building to hide in that-” Sue spoke, but the floor erupted, revealing a more gigantic version of the Lunasaurus Rex! Timmy panicked, turning their car around, only for it, and some of the road, to be in Luna’s gigantic maw! Luna attempted to bite onto the car and tilting her head back, which made the jeep inside to slowly go back.

“You’re going the wrong way!” Tommy panicked. “YOU’RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!”

“WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY!!!” Timmy snapped. Sue screamed loudly as Luna took one large bite, breaking the concrete in her maw, trapping them all within her mouth, followed by her leaning back, swallowing the trio and the jeep, which was followed by a burp, where one of the car’s tires flew right out.

“Oops, excuse me.” She said to no one in particular.






Nightmare on the neighborhood.
By Autismo555


Little Tommy woke up in a familiar place.
He remembered it very well from first glance.
It had four walls with a closet, blue-and-white striped wallpaper with baseball-themed borders, a dresser with a mirror, and a king-sized bed with a colorfully plaid quilt over the thick, soft, and warm comforter.
It was his old bedroom back on Earth.
Just like as it had been left before poor little Tommy vanished from Earth and teleported somewhere in Equestria. The poor elementary school-grade boy was a tiny, defenseless bug, all alone in a world of gigantic colorful ponies, all wanting to stomp on him or eat him alive. Luckily, he was found by a mare by the name of Holiday while she was out grocery shopping in the marketplace with her partner, Lofty. The two mares felt sorrow and pity for the lost tiny boy, so they took him in and looked after him, and along with their niece, Scootaloo, Tommy felt he had a second family here in Equestria.
That was months ago.
Today was his first Nightmare Night with his second family. It was almost like spending Halloween back on Earth, going from door to door, collecting candy from the kindly mares and stallions dressed up in their own costumes, listening to Zecora tell the scary tales of Nightmare Night, and getting jumped by anything or anypony that awaited them from around the corner.
In all honesty, Tommy, dressed up in his Phantom of the Opera getup at the time was happy. He collected candy happily, got scared silly with Scootaloo and the two aunts, almost got gobbled up by Rainbow Dash both screaming and laughing at the same time, and even went to bed happy.
Now he’s up and about in his old room, and now nothing made sense to Tommy.
Was all of that just a dream? He didn’t know.
What he did know was that he was home, and he was finally home with his parents.
“Momma? Daddy?”
Tommy went to his bedroom door, opened it by a crack, and looked around.
His hallway seemed to be exactly the way it was before he disappeared, wallpaper, grandfather clock, and smaller framed portraits, and all.
With a false sense of security, Tommy went into the hall, turned a left corner, and walked downstairs…
...only to see another hallway stretch on.
Wasn’t the foyer supposed to be here?
Tommy quickly jerked his head back. The staircase was enveloped by a darkness that kept its equal distance from Tommy’s footsteps, but the boy became a bit too fearful to even attempt to go back.
With a deep-rooted fear growing in his chest, Tommy reluctantly climbed down the rest of the staircase and walked down the stretch of the extra hallway, swallowing a lump in his throat. He hugged himself as he walked past the grandfather clock that looked eerily similar to the same clock he saw from outside of his bedroom door. The bell chimed the midnight hour, and Tommy jumped, scrambling towards the wall opposite to the clock, crouching low, and shaking like a leaf.
As he looked around, Tommy noticed the more intricate details of the hallway.
The wallpaper was the same.
The framed pictures hung in the exact same location.
The doors to the rooms were all alike.
That’s when the thought of rooms gave Tommy a small idea.
Getting himself up on his feet, Tommy ventured further down the hall, looking back to see the shadows creeping up on him, keeping their distance away. His pace quickened as he turned the corner on his right and found himself before a door; the door to his parents’ bedroom.
Quickly, Tommy turned the handle and threw the door open.
“Momma! Dad!”
But Tommy didn’t see his parents’ room.
What he saw was a nightmare.
The nightmare he was placed in had similar properties and dimensions to his parents’ bedroom, but the walls were and ceiling we all missing, like a tornado had swept through the house, but somehow leaving the furniture attached. The outside of the nightmarish ruins was like the inside of a swirling vortex from top to bottom and vice versa. Pieces of the wall and structure floated in midair. His neighborhood was reduced to a floating archipelago of houses built on the floating chunks of earth and dead grass. The hallway behind him had disappeared into oblivion.
Tommy took one step forward, and then a shrill feminine cackle rang throughout the vortex.
Scared, the boy cowered against the nearest corner of the wall just as a giant navy blue hoof clad in a sapphire glass slipper shoe grabbed onto the top of the wall. Then he watched as bright lights, like a prison tower spotlight scanned the room he was in, coming from the giant eyes of Princess Luna, searching for the boy.
“Poor little one, you’re in my world now!” Princess Luna declared as she waved her hooves up in dramatic effect, taking a bit of the wall down. After scanning the bedroom and finding nothing, the giant form of Equstria’s Princess of the Night scanned the lower floors of the house.
Tommy was at the verge of peeing himself in fright.
This was a dream.
No. A nightmare.
When Princess Luna was finished scanning the lower floors, she raised her gaze up, and Tommy shrunk further into the corner. He waited and waited until Princess Luna found nothing in her gaze, and went back down to scan the lower floors once again. Thinking this was the only opportunity he would get to escape the giant princess, Tommy quickly scurried along the floor and climbed down the ledge where the chimney conveniently obscured most of Princess Luna’s blinding gaze.
Up above, he heard Princess Luna chuckle. “You cannot escape my gaze, little one. My stomach shall be your next destination.”
Dropping onto the lawn below, Tommy crouched along the side of the outer walls of his ruined house, hiding from the glowing gaze before Princess Luna turned her gaze to the upper floors again.
Tommy began to notice a pattern in Luna’s gaze. Was she playing with him? Toying with him like he was in a video game or something?
Quickly, Tommy ran down to the ruined street where his house and lawn was connected to the neighbor’s house, where some of the wooden fences provided good cover from Luna’s gaze. Just as Tommy thought he was safe, he suddenly heard the giant wingbeat of the the enormous equine princess who suddenly changed tactics and turned her gaze towards the street below.
Tommy backed away from the open just as Luna’s spotlight gaze passed through the street the first time around. She scanned the street from left to right and then back again, repeating it like it was some kind of physical mantra.
“You cannot hide from me forever, Tommy. I am going to eat you,” Princess Luna taunted, a tactic to intimidate and frighten children like him.
Clearly, it was working on Tommy, but not enough to weaken his resolve.
Watching as the princess’s gaze was far enough away from him, Tommy ran across the street and ducked behind a smaller portion of the fence just as Luna’s gaze swept back the other way. With a little spring in his step, Tommy quickly ducked behind the rest of the fence just before the spotlights touched him. The boy settled for a short breather as he sensed that Princess Luna once again changed tactics, this time on his neighbor’s house that suddenly crumbled and gave away in a cacophony of terrified screams.
Tommy examined the path ahead of him. After the neighbor’s house was suddenly demolished and made easier for Princess Luna to cast her gaze, he saw that he needed to climb up the floors, onto the rooftops, and to a platform where a single lit jack o’lantern was sitting, waiting for the boy to use against the giant princess.
“Everything you see is under my control,” Princess Luna’s voice boomed throughout the nightmarish universe she created.
When Princess Luna’s gaze passed, Tommy quickly ran towards the house behind a wall that wasn’t devastated by Luna’s dream distorting abilities and hid in its shadows as the light passed through again, lingered a little at the side, and then turned back again. In that time, Tommy climbed up the staircase (which was destroyed in the middle), climbed up the ledge to the second floor and hid behind another wall to hide from the glowing gaze. After it passed once again, Tommy made a mad dash up the attic floor and hopped across a couple of platforms like a video game character, and hid once more behind the ruined structure away from the gaze. He felt completely confident that his jumping and hiding had brought him good fortune, because Tommy made a dash towards the jack o’lantern.
Unfortunately, just as he was a few steps from grabbing that pumpkin, he was caught in bright lights.
His heart fell down his chest.
Princess Luna had spotted him.
“There you are,” she said in a sultry voice.
Tommy watched with horror as the giant princess closed her eyes, opened her mouth wide with a slight “ahhh”, and craned her neck back. Tommy tried to back away, but he was so scared that he was literally frozen where his feet stood.
“What! No, wait! Don’t eat me, please!”
The begging fell on deaf ears as Tommy’s entire world was engulfed in Princess Luna’s maw, closing it  under his feet, and brought her head back. Tommy bounced on the gigantic storage container-sized tongue a little before he felt his entire environment ilt upwards and him sliding to the back of the throat. Tommy began to cry as he passed under the uvula and felt himself going headfirst into entrance of the throat, the muscles gently pulling him into Princess Luna’s esophagus.
With a gentle gulp, Princess Luna sent the boy down her throat, feeling his lump with her hoof down her neck before she felt him plop into the inside of her stomach.
It was strangely lit in a yellow-orange filter when Tommy fell into a pool of digestive liquids, falling below the surface, but emerging seconds later with a big breath. In short pants, Tommy looked around the inside of Princess Luna’s stomach, beginning to fear the worse as he was surrounded by folded flesh filled with liquids, jack o’lanterns, and… wait, what?
Tommy quickly swam to an island where it rose above the surface of the liquids and quickly climbed on. After his eyes began to water, and after he stifled a sniff, Tommy crouched down and began to sob while leaning back against the walls of the stomach. Suddenly, he felt a gentle sensation rub his back.
“Tommy? Are you okay?”
The boy just sobbed as an answer to Luna’s question. “No! That was scary! I thought I was b-b-back home, but you just came along, and… and… and…”
“Hush, little one. I didn’t mean to frighten you the way you did,” Luna assured the boy. “Have you not been eaten before?”
“No! B-B-But a few ponies tried to.. To.. to eat me, and I get scared that they… they… they might chew me up! My Aunty Lofty, my Aunty Holiday, and Scootaloo never did that to me, but… but… but I get so scared when a pony tried to e-e-eat me!”
“Fear not, Tommy. No pony, griffin, changeling, or animal will digest humans once they are swallowed, but there are still some who fear being eaten,” Luna said, gently patting Tommy on the back from the outside of her belly. “I sensed your fear, and now you are conquering it by residing within my belly.”
“But…” Tommy sniffled. “But this is all a… dream.”
“It does not mean it is not happening. Now you are safe here. You, and the others I have been gathering this very night.”
“O-Others? You mean…?”
“Yes, my dear child. I am gathering the tiny children of Ponyville to partake in a festive Nightmare Night in my belly! You shall rejoice in the feast of candy and other sweets that not even your own world ever thought to make before! Tell the spooky stories of your Earth! And spend the entire night safe with the other kids in my belly! Sister knows what happens to children who are out alone on Nightmare Night!”
Tommy gave this offer much thought. Sure, the candy and the kids sound intriguing, but eating candy and spending the night inside a pony’s stomach didn’t sound much appealing to him. Then again, he had heard tales of ponies snatching his people late at night and taking them to their home, either for selling to other shady ponies in the black market or for permanent sustenance to keep the pony not-so hungry while they worked. So spending a night inside Luna’s stomach didn’t seem like a bad idea.
“Okay, Princess. I’ll go.”
“HUZZAH! With one more tiny child, the fun has been doubled!” Princess Luna rejoiced.
“But I have to let my Aunts and Scootaloo know first,” Tommy said. “They’ll be worried if I’m not home with them all night.”
“Do not worry, Tommy. I have visited their dreams and they have given me their permission.”
“And they said yes?”
“Yes.”
“So when are we doing the party? You know, in your belly, I mean.”
Princess Luna chuckled. “My dear child, you already are.”
Tommy’s face fell.
“Wait. What!?”






The Lone Wolf
By ShrunkenLittBro12


In a shadowy forest hazing with a thick white fog, a group of children ran through the path. They were dressed in a old fashion clothing from 17th or 18th century. Carly, a dark brown haired girl wearing a long brown cloak and holding a shepherd's staff. She lifted the hood off her head rubbing the sweat from her brow. Struggling behind her was a wheezing blond haired boy. Known only to the group as Smalls, he wore a typical peasant style clothing, which was a wrinkled raggy light grey dirty shirt and ripped up tane baggy pants.

“H-How did we get here and why are we dressed like this?” One of the three older boys, who was around Carly’s age, asked. He was dressed in a more fancier dressing wearing leather brown coat and long pants. One of the other boys wore a green tunic and the other a cloak.

“Calm down. Luna had obviously put us here, although, I don’t know where or why we all here.” Carly walked over to Smalls patting him on the back. “You okay, Smalls?”

“Y-Yeah,... J-J-Just a bit scared.” He breathed heavily pulling out his inhaler and taking a hit on it catching his breath finally. “W-W-Where do you think w-w-we are?”

“I’m guessing in a forest. Obviously.” Carly looked around the foggy trees. It was almost like being in a old movie set, except for loud crickets and very real looking bats flew above them. The children gathered up together watching the clouds in the pitch black sky floating above.

“G-G-Guys?” Smalls broke the silence. “W-W-W-We should go.”

Carly took the lead, marching with the boys behind her down the long eerie path. The path itself was covered in autumn leaves and had stretching, long pointed trees that looked almost like long skinny hands ready to snatch the kids up and take them away. Smalls shivered, wheezing a bit. One of the older boys walked up to him, patting him on the shoulder reassuring him it would be alright. Carly, on the other hand, was not sure; one minute, she was having a good dream, and now, she was in a forest with a group of kids she’s never seen before.

“Heeellooo?” A voice called out from other kids, the one that was holding a lantern. Carly and her group ran towards them they were all dressed the same as Carly and the boys. She felt a little relief; all the groups of kids were all talking, all of them trying to figure out where they were and how to get back home when suddenly.

“AHAHAHAHA!” A loud laugh echoed through the skies the children looked up to the skies; a winged figure flew through the air her horn glowed bright blue and hovered over the group of children and landed right next to them with a loud slam causing bits and pieces of rock to fly into the air. “Hello, young ones.”

“P-P-P-Princess L-L-Luna please take us h-h-home.” Smalls shivered hiding behind the group.

“Oh no need to be frightened young ones, this is all a game, remember?” Luna smiled brightly shrinking down to a more suitable size for the children, she was still large to them, the size of clydesdale horse to the children. “Dear children, tonight is a perfect night for a hunt!”

The children all backed up in fear of Luna’s words as she looked at them with a smug grin on her muzzle, Carly could tell Luna liked feeling powerful and feared by them all; she believed if Luna were to take one step they would all back up in a panic.

“And my dear children, it is a horrible night to have a curse.” Luna’s horn glowed bright blue the dark clouds above suddenly vanished revealing a dark blue sky littered with shining stars, and in the middle of it all was a bright white full moon. The children were taken back by this whole thing not sure of what was happening. Luna turned to them: her eyes became bright yellow and her pupils turned black. Her normal pony teeth spiked up and down, forming into canines, and her jaws snapped as saliva dripped and foamed out of her mouth. Her tongue lapped out, dripping with strings of saliva, as Luna’s hooves vanished in a haze of black smoke and clawed paws were replaces along her mane, taking a more physical form, making it a dark shaggy mess with locks of hair draping over her face and neck. Her ears grew bigger and pointed and her tail became a wolf’s tail wagging back and forth, her horn and wings vanished with the hazing smoke and now, her body started growing and growing there was snapping and cracking sound that made the children cringe soon Luna was now the size of barn.

“Run my children.” Luna spoke in raspy voice licking her chops with her lupine tongue.

The children had done what she said they all ran. Some children were unlucky getting pinned by Luna’s front paw; two boys thrashed to get free from the giant dark blue wolf. The first was grabbed by the scruff of his shirt pulling him loose from under her one claw, like a dog she shook the boy around flaring him around and tossed his now limp body into the air opened her maw wide and the boy slide in with ease going down into her throat and with one gulp he was gone, the lump of his body vanished in her husky furry neck.

Carly ran, dragging her cloak behind her with all the children scattering in different directions but there loud screaming was sign that Luna had gobbled them up, over the screaming and running she could hear a loud thumping that grew louder and louder. She turned, seeing the bright wolf eyes of Luna trailing behind them. Carly could see Smalls falling behind; he was wheezing and trying to breath. She made a quick dash, running towards him, quickly grabbing him picking him up and holding him in her arms as she ran. Carly looked behind seeing some other kids being corned by Luna by a tree it didn’t take long for her to slurp them up and swallow them whole.

Carly ran to a clearing along with many more panicking children in an open field. She looked back, hearing the screams of all the victims of Luna. She stopped as her legs felt like jelly and her arms were aching.

“Y-Y-You can let me go now.” Smalls wheezed then coughed.

Carly did as he said setting him down giving herself a chance to finally catch her breath. She stood back up she saw there were only four children left along with herself and Smalls. A loud howl made them all jump; it echoed through the sky and soon they were greeted with a gigantic blue wolf stepping out from the forest with a panicking girl being held in her jaws. Soon, the girl was slurped up and swallowed. Luna smiled stepping out of the forest slowly nearing the remaining children.

“RUN!” One yelled and all of them took off in a panic, Carly quickly grabbed Smalls by the hand and ran with him behind her she saw as the as an unlucky girl was plucked up by Luna. She screamed as she was thrashed around, with Luna lifting her head, opening her maw and letting the girl slide inside and fall down into her gullet.

“Smalls you run and keep running!” Carly suddenly stopped and held her staff, ready to do battle, standing in front of Smalls. Carly watched as Luna pinned and gulped down the last remaining kids and she turned to see Carly and Smalls and lapped out her lupine tongue licking her chops she stepped closer and closer snarling fearsly. “Stay back Smalls! RUN!”

Carly pointed her staff at Luna. Even if she towered over them all, she still stood her ground. She was frightened that she and Smalls were doomed as Luna now loomed over them, casting a shadow over the two children.

“You may calm yourself now.” Luna chuckled, Carly still held her guard. “It’s alright now you showed to quiet brave.”

“W-W-W-What does she mean?” Smalls asked.
“Simple, young one. Carly was the only one who came for your rescue.”

“So what dose that have to do with us now?” Carly demanded.

“We will have your reward.” Luna smiled she stepped forward laying on the soft grass her smile seemed to be more welcoming instead of the frightening grin she had been giving. “Please young ones step forward.”

Carly held Smalls back as she cautiously walked up to the blue wolf she was now inches from her muzzle and kept her ground, Luna’s maw suddenly opened making them both jump back.

“You don’t need to be afraid anymore the scares are over.” She calmly said.

“Princess Luna what are you talking about you’ve devoured everyone!”

“Yes. But there all in good health there inside and all are alright.” Luna leaned her head forward. “Would you like to hear?” Luna’s maw opened strains of saliva dripped from the top of her fangs as her maw grew wider, Carly and Smalls watched as her canine tongue flattened down showing off the open throat that exhaled a humid gust from her gullet. Carly nervously stepped forward from inside the throat she could hear others laughing and talking. “I assure you there all safe, I’d never harm you young ones.”

Luna closed her maw and lapped out her tongue and licked Carly across the face and nuzzled her. Much like spoiled dog Luna lays her head on the grass her lupine eyes staring up at the two children.

“C-C-Carly maybe we should go ahead and go in.” Smalls says stepping forward to Luna’s muzzle.He sheepishly reached out his hand petting her on her dark blue nose Smalls smiled a little and continued.

“Well I guess we can.” Carly’s ton was unsure but she felt some trust in Luna.

“Thank you young ones I promise you can trust me.” She lifted her head up and opened her maw lapping out her tongue like gigantic carpet. Carly slowly leaned into the open maw she crawled inside feeling the soft slimy surface under her palms, she pressed her fingers in the squishy tongue then lifting it up and wiped away the saliva from her hand. Carly sighed and continued her way in she was now fully inside the wolf’s mouth, the inside was a darker ruby color while the tongue had a light pinkish color and wrinkled much like an actual canine’s fangs pointed up and down around her like the bars of prison Carly looked forward to see the gaping cavernous throat that could swallow her at any moment she saw a uvula hanging in the middle of the throat. Carly walks forward to the open and motions Smalls to come in.

“Come on Smalls everything's okay.” Carly says as the Luna’s tongue laps back making her flop into the middle of her massive tongue.The canine tongue worked Carly back towards her throat and flopped down Smalls watched from outside and nervously climbed inside.

“Don’t be frightened little one I’m only playing.” Luna gave a cheerful giggle making Carly get a gust of hot breath by the throat, Smalls climbed inside rubbing the slobbery tongue with his hands and slowly made his way towards the throat where Carly held onto a boulder sized molar Smalls nervously smiled climbing over to Carly.

“Hey Smalls ever see those cartoons back at home?” Carly asked and gave the uvula a poke. Smalls giggled at this and reached up giving the uvula a soft hug. A low murr could be heard from the giant wolf they couldn’t see it but outside Luna was smiling. Luna gently closed her mouth sealing the children in darkness and softly lifted her head up and gave a swallow. Carly held onto Smalls in a hug as they both slipped down the opened gullet both slide down the narrow tube with ease, after a while of sliding both Carly and Smalls had arrived inside Luna’s belly to find all the children she had eaten all well and all playing, running around and now wearing Halloween costumes and having a wonderful time. Carly and Smalls looked to see they were no longer wearing the previous clothing but both wearing werewolf costumes with the wolf’s head as there hoods.

“You two are the champions of my wolf game. Enjoy your party, little ones.”






Of Good and Evil.
By MrAquino


A group of kids gathered together in a building, hiding away from the gigantic Luna that was terrorizing the city, destroying the buildings and swallowing every other kid around like they were popcorn. They hid behind the wall, avoiding her gaze as she snagged a couple more kids in her mouth, which was followed by a loud gulp, muting out their screams.

“... How long until we wake up?” Aaron, a scrawny kid with a near white, blonde hair asked

“I don’t know!” John, a plump boy with freckles & red hair answered. “It could be anytime!”

“Quiet!” Joan, the only teenage woman with a dark, long, black hair said, covering John’s mouth. “We need to keep quiet. I am NOT going to wind up as anyone’s snack! Not even the princess of the night herself.”

“W-what are we gonna do?” Quincy, the smallest boy with a huge pair of galles spoke. “W-we can’t just let her eat everyone here! W-we’ll be the last ones here!”

“... He’s right.” Angel, the other girl of their group spoke, who wore a bear of rabbit ears & Anime-style clothes. “We shouldn’t be hiding away like rats! We need to stop Luna at all costs!”

“Stop Luna!?” Joan asked in shock. “Are you crazy!? I’m not going out there and risk becoming a living piece of candy to that man-eating horse!”

“We can either do that, or stay here for her to find and eat us all in one go! What’s worse!? This, or trying help everyone here escape? And we’re in a dream! We can do anything! In fact…” She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. In a bright flash, Angel became a literal Angel; huge white wings protruded out of her back as she wore heavenly looking armor and had a shield in one hand while a sword in the other. Everyone jumped at the sight, but were astonished by the sight.

“Woah!!!” Quincy shouted. “How did you do that!?” Angel looked at herself, but smiled.

“It’s a dream. I used my imagination to change myself. Whether you like it or not, I’m going out there and I’m going to hold back Luna, give everyone a chance to escape and wake up from this twisted game. You can all sit here and wait for the inevitable, or you can join me and give everyone else hope, and Luna more than what she bargained for.”

“... W-will we make it out?” John asked. Angel frowned a bit.

“I don’t want blind optimism. We’re all probably gonna wind up in her gut, but even if we do, it’ll be great being with my friends.” The group looked at each other, a bit nervous. Aaron stepped forward.

“You know what, this will probably be the most fun I’ll have!” He closed his eyes and concentrated. With a flash, his hair became fire, though he had a jetpack on his back with twin flamethrowers over his hands. “Let’s light up the place!” John smiled, standing next to Aaron.

“Y-yeah! I’ve always wanted to be a superhero!” He closed his eyes and was not only did he became buff, but also had a metal glove over his left hand, all while being shirtless.

“... Dang it, guess I’ll join you guys.” Joan said with a sigh of defeat. She concentrated and became cyborg with half of her face becoming a robot and her left arm & right leg becoming mechanical. They turned to Quincy, who looked a bit nervous.

“Uh… I-I think you can all handle her.” He suggested.

“You sure?” Aaron asked.

“Um… yeah. I can join when it gets bad and-” Angel kneeled to him, placing a gentle hand on his left shoulder.

“It’s okay.” She replied. “You can join everyone else. We’ll handle her.” He swallowed nervously.

“So we doing this?” Joan asked with a mechanical voice, her robot arm turning into a cannon.

“We are. Let’s get her attention first.” The four walked out of the building and turned to Luna, who swallowed a whole car.

“Hey! Fatass! Over here!” Aaron yelled. Luna’s ears perked and turned to the four. She had a curious look on her face, seeing these kids weren’t like the others.

“Hmm… well aren’t you all quite the collective group?” She replied with a smug, walking to them. “Glad to see some kids are actually using this as a chance to do something creative. Tell me, is this just for looks?”

“I don’t know. Try this.” Angel flapped her wings and smacked Luna in the face with her shield! The impact caused Luna to fly back and crash into a building. Luna got up from the rubble and shook herself, then turned to the four with a smile as she licked her lips.

“Oh ho ho! I’m so going to enjoy this!” Luna charged at the four hero-turned-kids. Aaron’s jetpack activated, allowing him to fly, and he began to fire rapid fireballs at Luna, burning the princess’s fur.

“YEAH!!! You just got roasted!” He shouted as he flew and fired at him. As he fired at Luna, John and Joan charged and lifted Luna’s front hooves, easily throwing the princess over their heads. Joan turned her mechanical arm into a Laser cannon and fired a blast at Luna’s chest overhead, which blasted the giant Alicorn away.

“Wow! I’m a badass.” Joan spoke, looking at her arm.

“Seems like we’re winning!” John said with optimism. “Think we can knock her out?... Or would that make her wake up?”

“Looks like this is going to be easier than we thought.” Aaron said as he landed near the two with a smug. “And you thought it was going to be tough, Angel.”

“Beating me that easily?” Luna asked, getting up and rubbing the rubble off of her. “Seems I’ve underestimated you four. But this hardly seems fair.”

“Fair?” Angel asked, landing near her friends. “You’re fighting you with your rules!”

“But four against one seems hardly fair. And a Team of superheros is nothing compared to a group of supervillains!” Her horn glowed and fired at their shadows. The team turned to see their shadows rise from the floor, and began to solidify themselves. The four jumped back, as their shadows became more or less opposite versions of themselves; Angel’s counterpart was a demon with sharp, black armor with twin axes. John’s was now a rather lean version of himself that wore a single suit that read ‘speed’. Aaron’s looked like a soldier that had ice related weapons on him. Finally, Joan’s was herself that had electricity as her hair. Luna clapper her hooves in delight.

“Oh children, fetch me my snacks.” Luna ordered in a motherly tone. All of their counterparts readied themselves for combat.

“You had to say something.” Joan groaned, right before being tackled by her electric self. Everyone battled against their mirror selves; Angel and her demon self both flew into the sky and charged at each other, clashing loudly with their weapons, with John keeping his guard up from his speedster self, and Aaron blasting away his fireballs at his ice self, who fired ice beams at him. A large battle between the two sides ravaged through the city, though Luna took this chance to walk away and find some more unfortunate children that may be hiding away in the city. She sniffed the air and got a scent of another child.

“Oh Quincy,” she teased. “Do be a dearie and show yourself. I do not wish to hurt you.” Quincy whimpered and held his breath. His whimper was heard by Luna. “Oh, don’t be scared, my child. Everyone enjoys being in my belly, and surely, you will as well.” She leaned down, just seeing the top of Quincy’s head. “Please, come on in.” She opened her maw wide and stuck her tongue out like a carpet, blowing a warm breath of wind. Quincy felt her warm breath and shivered wildly. He turned around, seeing the open maw of Luna, which drooled like a waterfall. Hyperventilation took control of him, as he looked deeper into her maw, seeing the throat seemingly open up, telling him to enter.

Angel smacked her demon self out of the sky and turned to see Luna opening her mouth with Quincy staring into her mouth. She flew down to Quincy, snagging the boy from the princes.

“What are you doing!?” She asked. “Go! Run! Get out of-” she was tackled by her demon self, who held her by her head and punched her through a pillar, making her crash into another building. Her Demon self flew and slammed with her through the wall, opened her mouth, and vomited out some black slime, making Angel both lose her powers, and trapped her.

“A-Angel!” Quincy yelled. The demon version of angel turned into the black slime and held down Angel, who struggled. The floor shook as Luna approached to them.

“R-run!” Angel wheezed out, still struggling. Quincy turned to Luna, then turned and ran away. Luna lowered her head down to Angel, seeing her struggle.

“Oh, I apologize for what just happened.” Luna cooed as the black slime went back to her. She easily picked her up with the clawed hoof of her, plucking Angel by her feet. “But what goes around, comes around.” Quincy watched behind a wall as Luna dropped Angel into her mouth, hearing her scream before being silenced by Luna’s closed mouth, and hearing a loud gulp. The princess licked her lips and looked around. “I wonder how’s everyone else doing?” She walked away, heading to where everyone else was at.

Much to the others, they were failing at beating their evil selves. John’s counterpart was faster than him, so fast, he ran around the city in less than a second, gave John an uppercut, then punched him to the floor before becoming slime and trapping John. Joan’s lightning self blasted Joan backwards before teleporting behind her, grabbed her and flew into the sky. In the sky, a lightning bolt struck Joan, where her evil self turned into a fist made of black lightning, grabbed Joan, and fell to the sky, slamming Joan to the floor, covered in Black slime. As for Aaron, his counterpart froze his feet before sliding up an ice slide, blasting Aaron with black Slime that held him in place, and ended by making a giant slime ball that fell onto him, trapping him. All three kids struggled under their black slime, but Luna saw this.

“Ahh! Three Kids in one go?” She asked in a pleasantly surprised way, getting the black slime back to her as she picked them all up with her magic. “Sorry kiddies, but it’s an eat or be eaten world here.” She dropped all three into her maw and swallowed them all in one gulp. Her stomach growled as she rubbed her belly. “Ahh… so good… now where’s-”

WHAM!!!

Luna felt a huge impact on her, making her slam into a building. Her eyesight was a bit fuzzy, but she saw something as big was in front of her. It was humanoid, but was made out of the chunks of buildings that made up the city. In the middle of the giant, was Quincy, tearing up.

“... Quincy?” Luna asked. “Well… this is a surprise.”

“I should’ve saved them.” Quincy spoke. “But… I failed them… and you ate them!” He charged at her. Luna flapped her wings and dodged his attack as he slammed into one of the buildings.

“Well, I did, but I assure you, they’re safe within me! If it’s scary, I’m sorry. Please, just hop into my mouth and you’ll see.”

“NO!!! NEVER!!! NOT WITH A MONSTER LIKE YOU!!!” He ran back at her, pulling her down to the floor. It made Luna yelp, but she got up. Quincy began to throw a few punches at her, but missed them. Luna noticed how hard Quincy was tearing up, and spoke.

“Please, child, don’t be angry with me! They’re safe! Trust me!”

“H-How!? How can I trust you!”

“Don’t you remember how I first meet you?” Luna concentrated her horn and the city turned into a forest. Quincy stopped for a bit, seeing his past self running across the forest floor, panting away. On his trail was a lone timberwolf, hungry, and had sap that came out of it’s mouth like drool.

“H-HELP!!!” The Dream Quincy screamed. A huge flapping sound came, followed by Luna landing in front of him, stopping the child in his pace. Her horn lit up, releasing a fireball at the timberwolf. It yelped in pain and ran off. The dream Quincy panicked, falling to the floor and dragged himself, with the dream Luna leaning her head towards him, gently nuzzling him.

“Shh… it’s alright, you’re safe.” The Dream Luna cooed. Her horn glowed, followed by her eyes. In her eyes, it showed Quincy’s parents at a village not too far from where they’re at, with both worried sick.

“Pl-please, D-do you know where my mommy and daddy are at?” Dream Quincy asked. The Dream Luna smiled.

“I do.” Her horn glowed, picking up child, very slowly, but gently. She stopped to rub her belly as it growled.

“I could’ve easily just swallowed you,” Luna spoke. “But you were too frightened, and your home was nearby. So, as you remember, it went like this.”

“W-what are you doing?” Dream Quincy asked. Luna shook her head.

“Just… had an idea.” Dream Luna replied, putting him on her head. “It’s nothing. Please, hold on tight.” Luna began to walk. “I am Princess Luna, the princess of the Night of Equestria. And who might you be?”

“I-I’m Quincy.”

“And you remember what happened after that?” Luna simply asked. The dream jumped ahead of time, showing Luna dropping Quincy off to his family, both sides tearing up, happy to see each other again. “Your family was so happy to see you’re alive. They’ve been here for almost 5 months, waiting for their son to be back, and I was able to bring you back.” It was there that Quincy’s building suit came off, leaving a small, sad boy on the floor, crying. Luna picked him up and gave him a large hug. “Oh shush, it’s not your fault.”

“I… I hit you… I hit you, Luna.” He teared away.

“I know you did, but I deserved it. I just got too carried away with my new tradition.”

“T-tradition?”

“You kids spend the day with me in my belly, all of you, in a party within me. Would you like to join your friends and spend the day with me?” Quincy smiled with a sniffle.

“I… I would, princess.” Luna smile in return and opened her mouth, gently putting Quincy on her tongue. He walked on her tongue, and as soon as he took a few steps, she brought her tongue back in and closed her mouth. Despite it being dark, he heard and felt her breath, drawing him in to the edge of her throat. He looked down, seeing light below, surrounded by throat muscles, with the sound of kids laughing and chatting. Without any words, he jumped down, with Luna swallowing him instantly.

“Ahh… such a sweet child.” She rubbed her belly.

“You guys ready for some campfire songs?” Cody asked fixing his glasses from slipping off his nose.

“Sure! I could go for some singing,” Eric said, fixing his glasses that were crooked from their perch on his nose.

“We gonna do ‘The Campfire Song Song’ from Spongebob?” Kane asked, cleaning his glasses.

“I was hoping we could sing a little Halloween diddy,” Eric suggested. “You know, like ‘This is Halloween’ or a couple of those songs we heard on Billy Mandy.”

“I can do dance, like the Pennywise dance from the video you showed me.” Cody got up ready to dance but slipped on the log he was sitting on. “Ow!”

“Ooh!” Eric cringed at the sight. “You okay, Cody?”

“Please, don’t make yourself a fool tonight.” Kane groaned at the sight. “And for a ‘scary’ scene, that was just too funny.”

“Eh. Sorry guys I was just trying to be funny,” Cody got up and sat back down on the log, “so,... wanna tell some ghost and ghoul stories?”
“I got one!” Eric said, clearing his throat. “So, back in Vermont, we have this covered bridge. And this bridge is well-known in Vermont because it’s haunted by the ghost of a woman who went by the name of Emily. I don’t know exactly how she died, but I heard that sometimes if people are walking inside it, they feel a change in the temperature. But perhaps one of the scarier hauntings that happened on that bridge was when a horse-drawn carriage passed through the bridge. When that horse crossed that bridge, it was slashed and clawed by an invisible force, leaving it with some nasty cuts. The same thing happened when cars were just being manufactured. Sometimes, when people drive through that bridge, their paint job gets scratched when they come out.”

“Yeah, that’s a lot more scarier than the one I had about werewolves in Ohio.” Cody said rubbing his arm feeling the goosebumps. “Well might as well tell something, well back in Ohio were I use to live me and my older cousin went hiking in the woods it was behind are Grandparents home so we knew most of the ways, but that day we wanted to go away from the normal paths and look around. We went deeper and deeper into woods, the more we went further the woods seemed to become more different than normal woods. There was a swampy smell to it and something else there were no animals... We kept going I wanted to go back but my cousin insisted and made me keep going, then we saw something really weird animal skeletons deers, cows, dogs and cats maybe and whole kinds of ribcages from other animals too. I kept begging to go back but he was unsure himself and soon we heard noises thumping and leaves rustling, we decided to keep going until we reached a clearing now this is where it gets weirder there was vegetation growing every except in this one spot and standing in the middle of it all was a white dead tree. Then we heard the rustling getting louder and we knew we weren't alone so we ran. I swear I heard growling behind us. But thankfully we got back to my Grandparents house but that’s not where it ended a few days after my cousin went missing and nobody knew what happened to him.”

“Yikes,” Eric said with shock and intrigue. “Did this really happen, or…?”

“Well,....” Cody looked uneasy.

“Oh pssh!” Kane interrupted. “You think you’re so scary? I’m from Arizona, the place where a bunch of scary things happen! Ever been to the desert at night?” Cody and Eric shook their heads. “Well, ever seen a chupacabra? Or something close to one? Well that’s what happened to my brother and I with a friend. I think his name was Nicholas… I don’t know, it’s been a long time. Anyways, my brother, friend, and I were exploring the desert past our bedtime, since, you know, being kids, we did stupid things every now and then. But we explored the desert with only some flashlights, seeing a few animals you’d expect; lizards, birds, owls, a snake, a tortoise, you know, the usual animals you’d see along with cacti and bushes. It sounds a bit boring, but we heard some weird howling in the distance. I thought it was a coyote at first, which means we’re kinda safe as long as we don’t get too close, but we heard some other weird noises, kinda like a weird slurping noise. When we pointed our flashlights, I swear, we just saw a Chupacabra! My mind’s a bit fuzzy, but I remember seeing it having reptilian-like legs, with some short fur, and was on a javelina. But we barely saw it and just ran! It was probably the fastest we’ve run, as we thought we heard it’s footsteps behind us, giving us chase. Oh man, were we lucky to get home; as soon as we were back in out neighborhood, I think it noticed where we were and ran away. It’s probably the only time where we were happy to get yelled at by our parents, even if they didn’t believe our story. I still think it’s real… if we had a video camera, it would go on YouTube even if people say it’s fake… probably one of the reasons why I’m glad to be here and not on Earth anymore.”

“So you got chased by a dog with mange?” Cody asked.

“Yikes. Well, at least you won’t have any of that to worry about here,” Eric said. “It makes me glad we’re stuck in Equestria and not back home on Earth.”

   “....Yeah, you know, I’m glad we’re here too. It’s so much nicer here and there’s hardly any bad things that happen to us anymore.”

“Yeah… until you’re hunted by somepony.” Kane replied. “Can’t go two feet without wondering if Rainbow Dash is around the corner or in the sky, waiting for the right chance to pounce on and swallow you in one go.”

“Aww, even that’s not so bad. All you do is get to stay in their bellies for a while.” Cody smiled a little poking a stick at the fire moving around some of logs.

“That’s how people like me get to live the easy life,” Eric said, a smile spread on his face as he leaned back and placed his hands at the back of his head. He hummed a little diddy he once heard from “Billy and Mandy” a long time ago.

“Brains,... Brains,..” Cody recognized the hum and softly spoke the lyrics. “I’m really happy we could get together to camp... although I thought we were in bed. Well, at least I thought I was?”

“Oh, you certainly are.” The voice of Princess Luna spoke overhead. “But you’re also going to be in a special place soon.” Appearing out of thin air was the princess of the night herself, sitting between Cody and Eric. The two boys jumped in their seat, surprised by her sudden appearance.

“Princess Luna!?” All three boys asked in shock.

“That’s me. And I must say, this is the perfect place to play my little game!”

“W-What game?” Eric asked nervously.

“Oh, just a game that will determine if you get out or not. Nothing serious if you ask me.”

“What kind of game is that?” Cody asked shivering fearfully. Luna’s face loomed over to him, making him jump back. “Ah!”

“Heh, It’s pretty simple.” Her horn glowed and a near invisible barrier surrounded the forest. “As you can see, you’re all trapped in here with nowhere else to go. I’ve put eight pages on some… landmarks around here. All you have to do is collect all right pages. Do that, and you’re all free to go. Simple, really.”

“Eight Pages? Why does that sound so familiar?”

“Probably because eight pages equals a Slenderman game,” Eric said, his body freezing up at the realization. “Oh dear.”

“I wanted to do one hundred pages, but that would take forever and not really be fun to anyone.” Luna said. “And I have no idea what this ‘Slenderman’ is, so I’m just going to assume it’s an Earth thing.”

“I guess eight is much better.” Cody rubbed the back of his head. “It’s kind of an old forgotten Earth thing,...” Luna put a hoof in his mouth.

“Ah-ta-ta! May I continue?”

“S-Sorry Ma’am.”

“Good. As I was saying, the real twist of the game is this; the game will start as soon as you find one of my pages, and for each one you find, I will try my hardest to find you all.”

“W-what happens when you find us?” Kane asked. Luna licked her lips.

“I eat you.” The trio’s eyes widened with a shock look on their face. But Luna clapped her hooves in please. “My best of luck to you all! And here’s some tools for you all!” The trio each received a flashlight, a walkie-talkie, and a personal camera. “I’m a fair princess after all, and I’ll wait for you all to start the game. Have fun!” She teleported away, not leaving a trace.

“... Is anyone else thinking this is a dream?”

“I’m not sure.” Cody pinched himself. “Ouch! Um, guys...”

Eric pinched himself on the rear. He “eeped” but nothing else happened. Luna smirked at this, looking in from outside the dream they were in.

“Hmm… now who looks tasty?” She asked herself.

“Okay guys, so what should start with? I mean, do we split up?” Cody picked up a flashlight and clicked it on.

“Now way!” Kane yelled. “Have you ever seen a horror movie before!? Splitting up is the worst idea any group can do! It’s best if we stick together as group, so we can warn each other if Luna’s around..”

“Yeah? But what are the off chances that Luna won’t sneak up on us like a ninja and swallow us up with our backs turned?” Eric said. “I suggest we walk together, but each of us will have to walk with our backs up against each other. That way, we can see where Luna might be hiding and cover our ground at the same time.”
“How about we keep the walkie-talkies on so that way we can keep in touch with each other.” Cody turned his on and shines the flashlight near the other boys. “If we see Luna we should let each other know by info the other.”

“... And what do we do with Luna?” Kane asked. “Try to blind her?”

“Maybe try some shining are flashlights in her eyes?” Cody clicked the light on and off. “Or maybe just booping her on the nose, like a shark.”

“Yeah, there’s nothing more effective than booping the nose of a giant pony that’s gonna eat ya,” Eric said sarcastically. “Maybe throw some dirt in her eye and you buy yourself a couple of minutes of running away from Luna.”

“... So we’re splitting up then?” Kane asked.

“I guess we are.” Cody nervously sighed packing in what he needed clicking on the light snatching a long stick from the ground and held it as a makeshift bat. “Well,......”

“If we’re going to split up, let’s be smart and each collect a piece of paper at the same time. Doing so will easily knock down what we need by nearly a half.”

“Got it. I’ll info you guys when I get paper.”

“We’ll all collect it at the same time. After that… well… best of luck to you, guys.” With that, Kane went right, Cody went left, and Eric went forward.

Cody nervously walked down the long path of pointed old trees, they were a light grey with dark splotches and they had long pointed branches. Cody wanted nothing more then to break them, a bad impulse he had but at the moment he needed to focus. Cody felt the cold chilling air blowing past him giving him goosebumps, he breathed in the chilled air making his nose cold his mind was drawing to so many different things at the moment, he was out in the forest being hunted by Princess Luna and trying to find a page at the same time he just hoped he wouldn’t  mess up and let his friends down.

Cody kept walking and walking Cody shined the light up and down making sure Luna didn’t pull a surprise jump scare and instead of Luna, he saw a tree, a large tree with long stretching tenetle like branches all of them like some kind of long legged spider, it made Cody feel nervous and think back to his story he was going to leave until his light caught a glim of something he was looking for. A paper he found a page, Cody ran up to the tree and shined the light on the page it had some scratchy writing on it just like the Slender game. It read something, but he couldn’t hardly read it but all he could make out was “No way to hide. She can smell you!” Cody gulped looked around feeling the paranoa looming in, he nervously grabbed the page immediately feeling a blast of air hit him kicking up the leaves on the ground. There was a presence in the air and Cody could feel the uncomfortable feeling of being watched.

Humming a tune under his breath, but loud enough for him to hear it, Eric quietly ventured his way deep into the woods, his flashlight shining the ground ahead of him, swaying to and fro. The darkness around him covered the many nocturnals and night terrors that lingered in the shadows, contributing to his fear of the dark and such. While he fearfully walked deeper into the woods, he could feel that something was watching him.

Every once in awhile, when there was an additional rustle in the leaves or a stick snapped in half under the weight of it being stepped on, Eric whipped around to see if anything followed him from behind. Each time he did so, he didn’t spot anything lurking from behind. He sighed and swallowed a bit, his heart pounding in his chest.

“K-Keep it together, Eric,” the frightened young man told himself. “It’s all just a game. Yeah, that’s all that is. Just a game. You’re playing a game of tag in the woods with your friends… trying to find eight pages together… without being caught… b-b-by anything in the d… the dark...”

As it so happened, Eric came across several giant propane tanks, lined up in two rows of three. After shifting the flashlight’s light to see if the area was safe, Eric cautiously approached the tanks. There, he spotted something stuck to the right side of the tank furthest to the left. With another search with his flashlight, he approached the paper and inspected. Drawn crudely with a combination of blue, black, and red crayons, the paper depicted a child’s sketch of what appeared to be Princess Luna hunting down three figures that represented humans, one already in her mouth, and a couple more in her stomach.

“What the hell?” Eric asked himself in a whisper.

He heard the faint rhythm of hooves silently approaching behind him.

Eric whipped around with his flashlight to see there was nothing there; nothing visible at least.

He could hear the drums beating in his head. The music playing in his mind, once a random tune he hummed to accompany him in the dark recesses of the woods suddenly transitioned into something akin to a dramatic elegy of his own impending fate.

Quickly, he reached for his walkie-talkie. “Hey guys, I just found a page.”

To his growing terror, Eric heard only static. He smacked it with his hand and tried again.

“Uh, guys? Kane? Cody? Can you hear me?”
Still nothing but static, but it was starting to grow stronger.

Fearful for himself, Eric turned his walkie-talkie off, looked back and forth, and hurriedly paced himself towards the tunnel so he could obtain the next page.

Kane strolled across his part of the forest at a steady pace, sweating a bit nervously. While both Eric and Cody had the trees, Kane’s side was a bit more open, meaning that if he was unlucky enough, Luna could easily spot him a mile away. He sweated a bit, despite the air being cold, and breathed a bit heavily, preparing himself to just leg it as soon as he gets the first piece of paper and when Luna sae him. The stars looked beautiful in the clear sky, but Kane feared that at any moment, the stars would turn into Luna and just easily eat him.

“Don’t look anywhere else,” he said to himself. “Be focused. If you can’t see her, she can’t see you… hopefully.” As he walked, he heard some twigs snapping at his left side. Kane jumped and looked at his left, seeing nothing but a strange red mound, and on it, in the middle of his light, was a piece of paper. The mound was a bit in the forest, but Kane approached to it quickly, wanting to get out of the open and in some cover. It may be possible that Eric was supposed to be here, but if that were the case, Kane would be fine with traveling just a bit further ahead and delay Luna’s game, even if by a few more minutes. The mound itself was more or a red hill made of stone, something that stuck out from the forest, but it made the paper stuck out more. The paper, crudely drawn, resembled a mouth with a mouth sticking out, and some stick figure running from it. It could only be a terrifying foreshadow of what’s going to happen if they lose. He heard both Eric and Cody’s voices on the radios, each saying they found a page. He reached for his walkie-talkie and spoke into it.

“G-guys? Did you find a piece of paper?” He asked. Only static came. “Guys!?” More static. He swallowed nervously, taking the piece of paper. Everything around him seemed to get colder as he swore he felt the floor shake… and the feeling he was watched. Kane looked around frantically, unsure where Luna was at, but continued his way. He turned to what looked like cut trees. Whether they were done by Luna or not wasn’t up for debate, but it was a place worth looking.

Unbeknownst to any of them, Luna had just landed. She sniffed the air and followed the scent to the closest boy. She drooled a bit and licked her lips, ready for the first snack.

“Hello?.... Guys?.... Guys!?” Cody yelled on the walkie-talkie not getting any response, only static. “Why does this kind of thing always happen?” Cody sighed loudly and wondered where he’d go next. Cody walked through the darkness, feeling very uneasy he shone the light through the darkness till he found a building it was an odd yellow bricked building it was as big as a trailer and beside it was an old, rusted, run-down truck.

Cody walked around the truck, scanning it with the flashlight. The truck had red paint chipping off of it and the tires were all flat, meaning there was no way to drive away even if the boy couldn’t drive. It was very disappointing to him. He scanned the driver seat the passenger door was missing on the other side, and inside, he saw another page. Cody gulped, slipping into the truck and nervously reached for the page. He stopped when he heard faint hoof steps. He gulped loudly and grabbed the page, feeling the chilling air blowing past him and through the old truck. Cody slipped further into the truck sitting in the passenger seat, he gave a little sigh and looked at the page. The page itself was an image roughly sketched of Luna’s open mouth and wide throat. Cody was about to question this when he heard the gusts of giant wingbeats near his location. He grabbed the walkie-talkie, ready to warn his friends. “Guys! She’s here!” Cody suddenly felt the truck being lifted by a magical grip and saw a gigantic eye peeking in where the door should be and soon her mouth came into view and her maw opened ready to swallow him up. Cody quickly opened driver door, fell out of the truck, picked himself up and ran.

“Ahhhhh!” Cody screamed, running as fast as his legs could make him run. He could hear the stomping hooves behind him growing closer. He kept running and running so far, he was keeping his distance from the night Princess, looking back every so often to see if he had lost her. Cody smiled, thinking he was finally getting away until he turned his head to have his face meeting the lower branch of tree. The pure impact of the branch made Cody stop and flip backwards, his limp body flopped onto the ground, rolling twice before finally laying flat on the ground.

“Oh dear... I didn’t mean for him to hurt himself.” Luna loomed over the tiny boy’s unconscious form. His nose was bleeding profusely and he had a dark bruise across his face. Luna leaned towards him, her horn glowed a soft hue of blue, and in seconds, the bruise was gone and his nose stopped bleeding. Luna smiled warmly, gently opening her mouth and levitating Cody into her mouth, laying the boy on her tongue and closer her lips around him. The boy laid flat in her maw, and with ease, gravity shifted him down to her throat. Luna tilted her head and gave a loud gulp, swallowing Cody down into her esophagus. She let out a content sigh, rubbing her belly with her hood. “That was good. I hope the last two are just as good.”

While the building, which heavily resembled an outdoor restroom, did provide some cover away from Luna’s sight, in Eric’s logic, he couldn’t take that chance yet. Instead, he thought it best to find the third page in there just as soon as he obtained his second page inside a tunnel, one that was more or less, a giant concrete construction tube half-buried into the ground. Playing around gigantic construction equipment, inoperable construction sites, or giant hills of dirt piled up by the construction workers did comfort him with nostalgic memories of his early childhood, but that was only the maximum amount of comfort and security in this horror game.

Inside the tunnel, Eric shone his flashlight, swerving it left and right. The range of the light itself could only reach so far into the dark, so he had to be quick. The slow but steady beat of the drums in his mind continued to reverberate, signaling the menacing force stalking him and his friends from the darkness.

Eric reluctantly crept deeper into the tunnel, shining his only source of light from one side to another, then turned around to see if anything was creeping up behind him, then turned back to repeat the cycle every so often. Halfway into the tunnel, his light shone on another slip of paper taped onto it. He plucked it off, and read a terrifying message scribbled in black crayon.

"She hungers for us! There's no way out!"

Eric felt a chill in the air as the tempo of the drums doubled, as did the volume. It had the same rhythm as a slow heartbeat of a dying patient. Suddenly, the elegy playing in his mind grew more dramatic, and suddenly, he jumped at the sound of an urgent message coming through the static of the walkie-talkie.

“Eric!? Cody!? Can you hear me!?”

It was Kane’s voice. That was a much-needed relief.

Eric reached down to respond to Kane’s voice when...

“Guys! She’s here!”

Eric felt his heart drop at the warning. Quickly, he turned off his flashlight and sprinted his way out of the tunnel. Just when he reached the exit of the tunnel he entered from in the first place, a sound made him freeze: the faint echo of Cody, screaming into the night. That only confirmed what he had feared.

Luna had already gotten to him first.

His breathing labored and whimpering, accompanied by the panicking drumbeats in his chest, Eric laid down his flashlight, made a mad dash towards the tanks, and hid behind one of them, hoping they could provide cover to hide away from the notoriously nocturnal alicorn. All that time, he stifled a frightened scream that he had suppressed from the bottom of his lungs, and it took every ounce of what little willpower he had now to contain it all inside.

Eric shimmied over to the side of the tank and peeked around the corner, down the space between the two rows of propane tanks. Suddenly, his eyes widened and his breathing stopped short.

The giant figure of Princess Luna, for all of her grace and regality, patrolled the area where he was hiding, coming around the side of the outdoor restroom building, smelling the air. A little satisfied hum and a playful chuckle escaped her throat.

“I know you’re here, Eric. I can smell you,” Luna teased. Suddenly, Eric acted on the instinct to shimmy back to the other end of the tank he was hiding up against; Luna patrolled the area by walking through the gap of the gas tanks.

“It’s best that you give up now,” Luna advised, her voice sultry with nightmare tones in her voice. “I’ve already gotten to your friend, Cody, and now you will be the next one to fill my belly.”

Eric clamped his hands over his mouth. He breathed through his nose as he heard the giant hoof steps pass by his location. Princess Luna’s back was turned, so Eric decided this would be the perfect time to hide in the tiled building. If it was possible, he could wait out the threat and let Kane become the bait.

“Cody! Eric! Are you there!? Talk to me! Where are you two!?”

Speaking of the devil, Kane’s voice sounded over the walkie-talkie. Eric quickly shut the talkie off and threw it as far away as he could, but it was too late. Kane had just given away Eric’s location, and Luna was onto him now.

“There you are!” Luna spoke as if she was a child finding a toy.

“Hmmpmph phhhknnng hhhhk!” Eric cursed behind his hands clamped over his mouth. All of a sudden, the gas tank was enveloped in Luna’s magical glow and was lifted up straight high. Upon instinct, Eric suddenly sprinted towards the tiled building, not daring to look back at the looming Luna who tossed the gas tank over her shoulder and pursued him with only a few short hoof steps.

Eric wasn’t the most athletic person in the world, but at least he had a bit of cardio to spare. He used all the cardio he could muster as he ran inside the building just as Luna’s hoof stepped down at the entrance. He ducked behind a corner and hid behind it. Around the corner, Eric heard the hoof step back, feeling it step back. Slowly, he peeked his head around, only to be met with the gargantuan princess’s glimmering azure eye. He shot back around the corner, but it was too late: Luna had already known his location!

“Come out, come out, little Eric,” Luna teased him like his sister would when he was younger. “There’s no sense of hiding now. Why don’t you make yourself useful and submit yourself to the inside of my body?”

In all honesty, he never found that appealing.

Taking a risk, Eric decided to make a break for the nearest corner. Just as he re-entered the main entranceway, he felt the entire building quake as Luna’s magic surrounded the building, pulling it from the very foundations of the ground. Eric felt his world shift backwards as Luna peered inside, spotting his frail, frightened form struggling to maintain his balance, but managed to hold on to a corner of the hall.

“I see you, Eric. Now you will become my next meal.” Luna slowly licked her chops, smacked them once, and opened her maw wide, revealing the dark, moist interior of her mouth. Eric couldn’t help it when he whimpered and yelped, especially since Luna was starting to shake the building to make him drop.

Eric’s stamina, however, prevented him from falling, and instead used the shaking motion to climb over the corner. He managed to escape Luna’s mouth, but he knew his fate was still inevitable. Quickly, he scrambled for the next corner, and when he came across, he found the last thing he was looking for.

His third page, depicting a three-year-old’s crudely drawn message in crayon: “No way to hide. She can smell you!’

Eric quickly went for the corner, until the entire place shifted and tilted again, causing him to slip and fall. The entire floating building shook vigorously, trying to squeeze him out of the entrance like a stubborn blob of ketchup in a Heinz 57 glass bottle. He knew he couldn’t escape Luna, but he had to at least try to get the page!

“I know you’re in there somewhere,” Luna’s voice taunted him. “Come on out. You’re only making this worse for yourself, you know.”

The vigorous shaking still continued until Luna tried a new tactic: tilting the entire building. Eric felt it all firsthand when the princess used her magic to tilt everything under his feet, having to scramble up the wall he used as a temporary floor, climbing up over the corner, and trying to reach for the page. His fingers was inches away when all of a sudden, the wall the page was on shifted away from him.

In his shock, Eric didn’t know if he had the last page or not. He remembered screaming his lungs out as he tumbled out of the corner and slid towards the entrance, levitating precariously over Luna’s maw. He remember slipping over the edge of the entrance, free falling two stories into princess’s mouth, and then everything went dark.

Outside, Princess Luna gave a gentle gulp as he felt the child-hearted young man enter her esophagus, and traced him down her throat. The bulge he made disappeared into her chest, and she felt a little solid weight drop at the bottom of her stomach with a splash. Her stomach’s reaction was another grumble.

“That’s two down,” Luna said with a giggle, rubbing her belly. “Now it’s time for my dessert, a lost little candy Kane.”

Luna found herself giggling at her joke, which followed up with a small belch. She quickly covered her nuzzle with her hoof and grew a shade of rose on her navy blue cheeks.

“Oops. Excuse me.”

Kane walked across the stumps of logs around, each in an even pattern, letting him think this was just made by Luna herself. How? He won’t stop to ask Luna that, only that a page was here. The stumps looked the same; all of them practically having the same number of rings and being flat like that of a chair. No diversity was around, making it seem boring… not that Kane wanted it, just thought Luna would be a bit more creative. Strange enough, it was answered as a lone tree stood amongst the stumps, and on it was a piece of paper. Kane looked at the paper, which read. “Best feed yourself. Can’t deny it.”

“Nice try, Luna.” Kane muttered under his breath. Everything felt like it was absolute zero, perhaps even lower than that. His radio turned on, picking up a signal. Kane took it out immediately. “Eric!? Cody!? Can you hear me!?” The sound was faint, but Kane heard the voice of Cody.

“Guys! She’s here!”

Kane’s body froze upon hearing that. He looked around to see if Luna was nearby, or in the distance. Wasting no time, Kane ran to what looked like giant rocks, a place he could possibly hide in, and possibly get the last page… assuming it’s there. But his running over there had seemingly been slowed down by a large chunk. What should’ve taken a few minutes felt like an hour. Was it his speed, or Luna’s tricks? He didn’t have time for that. He pulled his walkie talkie out and spoke.

“Cody! Eric! Are you there!? Talk to me! Where are you two!?” Silence. “Speak to me! Where are you two!?” His answer came in the sounds of something metal being thrown, followed by Eric screaming, which was also heard across the forest. It was at that moment that Kane knew that he had done goofed. He threw the radio down and sprinted to the rocks, getting his speed back with adrenaline pumping throughout his body! He didn’t care anymore; Luna got both Cody and Eric. “Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!” He whacked himself in the face.

The trio boulders only provided some cover, which was just enough for Kane to hide and regret what he had done. He explored the three, finding the last one, simply reading “She’s found you already.”. Kane went silent and stiff as he heard a loud booming coming right behind him.

“Well, well, well, what do we have here?” Luna asked with a lick on her lips. “You’ve got the last page, Kane. Looks like you can go.”

“G-go?” Kane asked, not turning around, still shivering.

“I’m a pony of my word. Unless, you’d like to join your friends.” Kane was too petrified to move, everything about him was as stiff as a board. Luna smiled. “Hm, seems I’m going to have a three course meal then.” Luna gently pushed Kane onto his chest, followed by gently pinning him, then lowered her head do to him, taking deep whiffs of him. Her breath was warm to the young man, which was probably the only good thing he could say, if he could talk, that is. The princess stuck her tongue out and gave a slobbery lick to his backside all slowly, seemingly on purpose. After a good three licks, Luna stopped pinning Kane and slurped his feet into her mouth, followed by his legs, chest, and torso. Kane finally snapped out of it, sticking his arms out of her mouth and trying to pull himself out using her lips as a means to pull him out.

“WAIT!!! STOP!!!” He screamed “LET ME GO!!! NOT LIKE THIS!!!” Luna only giggled and slurped the rest of him into her mouth, moaning at his flavor. Kane’s entire view shifted from total darkness to light that was framed by her teeth and mouth, with her tongue bouncing him to her throat. As much as he desperately clung onto her tongue, he was only delaying the inevitable by only a few seconds.

Luna opened her maw wide open as she felt Kane at the entrance of her throat. He got a good look of the outside world one last time before her tongue flicked and sent him down into her throat. Kane’s screaming was muffled as she swallowed him with her mouth open, feeling him struggle within her throat, and swallowing a couple of more times when she felt him getting himself wedged in there. She licked her lips one last time, feeling him enter her stomach, with a giggle.

“Game Over.” She spoke before flapping her wings.

Kane desperately clung onto Luna’s throat and tried to climb up, but every attempt was met with him being pushed down twice. He looked down, seeing his feet being sucked through the stomach’s entrance then followed by the rest of his body. All he did was scream as he fell into Luna’s stomach, right in the belly of the beast. Everywhere he looked, her heart boomed faintly, and her stomach gurgled, processing whatever was in there as liquids were secreted from the walls, creating small puddles with Eric and Cody sitting in the middle with a deck of cards and- wait, what!?

“Well it’s about time you showed up.” Cody said looking away from his cards. He wore a dealer visor hat.

“C-Cody? Eric? You’re… alright?” Kane asked, unsure how to react.

“Well, kinda,” Eric said. “I’m still a bit shaken from that game, so I’m playing a little goldfish with Cody until the drums stop beating in my head.”

“And I’m almost close to winning.” Cody stared down at his deck.

“... You’re both playing cards? After… getting… eaten?” Kane asked, just confused now. A night of terror shouldn’t lead to a game of cards instantly.

“Well, it is all a dream, isn’t it?” Eric answered with a question. “Princess Luna being giant, stuck in the middle of some dark worlds, getting swallowed to find a poker table and cards inside?”

“Besides nothing else to do really, except wait for you to get eaten.” Cody looked around at his cards some more and back at Kane. “So wanna play?” Kane blinked and looked around. There didn’t seem to be any exits around, excluding the entrance and the less than preferable exit.

“Uh… sure… why not.” Kane walked across the stomach floor, making some squish squashing noises then sat on a stomach muscle that acted as his seat. “You’re not gonna tell anyone that I screamed like a girl, right?”

“Never. Candy Kane.” Cody laughed.

“Me too,” Eric said, nodding at Kane, feeling the urge to giggle from his stomach. “After all, it’s not the first time that guys like me scream like a girl, but it sure as hell ain’t going to la-HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAUUUGGGHH-st!” Kane glared at Eric while he and Cody broke down in laughter.

“Very funny. Guess I won’t tell anyone how I heard you scream when Luna found you in what I can guess is a building.”

“What about Cody? He screamed too.”

Cody shrugged. “Yeah I did. Though, I can’t remember much. My head kind of hurts.” Cody rubbed his head and felt the ache on his face.

As the trio spoke, Luna flew ahead to another dream, ready to have another group of Children and young Tinies to snack on. “Do not worry, your secrets are safe with me.”





With another child landing in her belly, Luna sat down and rubbed her belly, feeling all the local village’s children in her stomach. She was beginning to feel a bit full, even with all of the special treatments a majority of them had received. However, a path crossed her mind.

‘How long is it until the sun rises?’ Luna thought to herself. Her horn glowed and she saw her alarm clock. The sun was going to rise in ten minutes. If she was drinking something, Luna would spat it all out.

“Ten minutes!?” She asked herself, then looked to see the rest of the dreams she had yet to touch. “Oh no! I need to catch them all! If I don’t, the children will miss my party and I’ll be fast asleep by then! Think, Luna, think!” However, her nose had the whiff of something tasty. She could tell that there was chocolate, with almonds, all baked and ready for the day. Cookies. A literal lightbulb appeared over her head. “Of course! Cookies!” She licked her lips excitedly. With all of her magic, she not only did she grow much larger, but each of the worlds had become cookie dough with all the kids inside. Luna out on a baker outfit and began to stir the cookie dough around, with the kids, humming a tune to herself. All the kids were screaming, muffled by the cookie dough.

When it was done, Luna took the dough out and made a baker’s dozen of cookies, each varying with the number of kids inside, with a glass of milk to her side. With another spell, the cookies self baked themselves, widening each cookie, with none of the kids harmed, though stuck with some heads and limbs sticking out. Immediately, Luna began to scarf each cookie into her maw with both loud chewing noises and chunks of cookies flying everywhere. It was barbaric, but Luna was racing against the clock, wanting every child to be in her belly, with those not swallowed by her cookie instead being washed down with her milk. To say the sight was frightening was an understatement as all of the kids watching just hoped that they would wake up soon, or home that it’s not painful.

At the last minute, Luna scarfed down the last child-filled cookie and drank the milk with them. She let out a content sigh, feeling more than stuffed… until she saw some kids, some still in crumbs, running away. Her adrenaline came in as she leapt to them slurping them all down. After one last gulp, her alarm went off.

RIIIIING!!!

Luna woke, but felt tired as she turned off the alarm. A burp came out of her mouth as she removed the blanket off of her. Much to her surprise, her belly was now slightly bloated, with both the feeling of the kids in her, and the candy she had to swallow to keep them occupied. However, Celestia walked right in.

“Good morning, sister!” Celestia cheerily spoke. “I take it that last night was the most you’ve- WHAT THE-!?!?!?” Celestia stared at her sister’s belly.

“... We’ll talk later.” Luna spoke, turning around and covering herself in her blankets. Inside, all of the kids began to wake up, seeing the candy and Nightmare Night decorations hanging around. It was a bit silent, until one of them yelled “PARTY!!!”, causing every kid to start going wild. Luna heard all of the kids in her belly having a great time and smiled.

“I should do this next year.” She said to herself and rubbing her belly.
