It's been a few weeks since the Nightmare Night incident. The good news is, the mane six are not catatonic anymore. Bad news, they figured out I was working with Mamoru on the whole ordeal. Well they were half right, since well... we are the same guy. Anyway today is spikes birthday. And yes I already know what's going to happen tomorrow so I'm just going to get him a comic book. That may lead to him reading the power ponies comics but still at least he will enjoy some excellent works of literature. Anyway time to get this show on the road.
I walked into the room just as spike was opening his gifts. I took out my gift for him. "Hey spike check this out, happy birthday" I said as I gave him the comic book. "A book?" Asked spike. "Not just a book, its a comic book, its way better, hope you enjoy it, later" I said. "wait where are you going, aren't you gonna stay for cake?" asked Spike. "Nah, sorry dude, I have things to do, I'll be back tomorrow morning" I said apologetically. I opened the door and left.
Ok so I don't really have things to do, I just need to grab a few things. Like a HD movie camera, popcorn and soda. Ha ha, when he grows I'm gonna make it into a Kaiju monster movie.
---the next day---
---ROAR---
Oh man I picked the best spots, having multiple cameras all over town was a great idea.
I took a sip of my root beer. "Oh he's going for Rarity" I said taking a bite of popcorn. "And here comes the Wonderbolts to save the day.... or not, ha ha ha" I said watching all the events unfold. "I should put some good theme music in this when this is over" I said to myself as I took another sip of my root beer. "Oh zing back into a tiny dragon, and..... falling down" I said taking a bite of popcorn. "I really should have put butter in this popcorn" I said. "And saved by Rainbow and Fluttershy" I said. "Whelp, time to get the cameras and have the film edited and developed" I said. I got up and teleported to each camera location and took each one back to my room in Twilight's library.
---later---
"Hey everypony I'm back sorry I'm late" I said walking through the front door. "Hey Shadow Star, where have you been? You would not believe the day we've had" said Twilight. "Oh I can imagine" I said wheeling in my finished project. "Hey whats with all the film, are you going to watch a movie?" Asked Spike. "No, WE are going to watch a movie" I said rigging up a projector.
"Neat, what movie are we watching" asked Spike. "We are watching a movie I like to call attack of the fifty-foot birthday boy" I said turning on the projector. "Wait what? Asked both Twilight and Spike in surprise.
The movie started with Spike bursting out of Sugarcube Corner. Then proceeded to rampage through town. He grabbed Rarity and kept collecting items. The sirens went off and in came the Wonderbolts, only to be trapped inside what used to be the water tower. Then Spike changes back to normal and both he and Rarity fall down, to be rescued by Rainbow Dash and fluttershy. And then the movie ends.
I use magic to turn off the projector, then proceeded to put the film back into its case. Then I packed it all up and went to my room. Both Twilight and Spike just kept sitting there eyes wide and mouths open, completely catatonic. I came out and got a glass of water. I came back into the room and took off one of my horseshoes. Then I drank the water and took my freed hoof and smacked the both of them repeatedly. I then reinstalled my horseshoe.
"Next time, don't let things escalate that far" I said. "Where, how, when did you have time to make all this" asked Twilight, cheeks red from the smacking around. "Thats my business, Spike stay out of trouble" I said. I headed to my room and closed the door. I took off my clothes and realized, I've never seen my cutie mark. I looked where my cutie mark would be and there it was. It was not what I was expecting. It was an image of crossed katanas and crossed guns just below the swords, with a few tiny grenades and throwing knives scattered about. "Awesome" I said to myself admiring my cutie mark. I got in my bed and looked over to my pants which was nicely folded on the dresser with the rest of my clothes, and used magic to pull out my phone from my pocket. I selected some music and got comfortable. I listened to my music until it was time for bed.
---Meanwhile---
"How did he film all that" asked Spike. "I don't know" said Twilight. "How could he have possibly known where to place his cameras, none of this makes any sense" said Twilight. "Maybe we should ask him about it tomorrow" suggested Spike. Twilight looked in the direction of Shadow Star's room. "Maybe you're right, Spike, lets get some rest" said Twilight. They both made their way upstairs and went to bed.
---the next morning---
---Shadow Star POV---
I woke up refreshed, I stretched my limbs and got out of bed. Then I split myself in two. One half became my pony form and the other became Mamoru. I sent Mamoru away so he could pop up again later, so I could keep up the charade that we are two different guys. I went and checked my phone for the time 9:45 am. I decided to leave my clothes off all except my horseshoes and goggles, and I used my magic to gather them up in a laundry basket, I left my my guns and katanas on my nightstand. Then I left my utility belt with grenades, throwing knives, and ammo on the dresser. I opened the door to my room and left. I went into the kitchen with my laundry close behind. I saw Twilight and Spike making breakfast. "Good morning you two, isn't this a beautifully delightful day" I said sounding more chipper than I'd liked.
"Good morning Shadow Star, doing your laundry?" greeted Twilight. "I would be doing it, but I don't know how, could you show me please?" I asked politely. Twilight smiled, only Twilight could smile about laundry. "Of course, I'd love to" replied Twilight.
