Twilight Gets a Puppy.
Season 5
By TDR




Summon Master



[Ponyville, Seshat. End of fall, Nightmare Night, main lobby of the castle tree]

“Alright time to go over the checklist one more time.” Twilight stated excitedly.

Everyone else in the room, including Seshat, who was the room, groaned.

“Hey, there's nothing wrong with a good checklist.” Twilight huffed. The purple mare was dressed in a skin tight red and black jester's outfit with white face paint with only her wings exposed, a cartoonisly large mallet leaned against the wall in the room.

“Twilight, we're not Big Mac. We don't find your checklists interesting.” Sunset sighed. The mare had figured out the spell the sirens had used and was currently sitting in her human form. She rarely used it as it hampered her ability to cast spells. However it seemed she had opted to use it as a costume tonight. She wore red thigh high, high heeled boots, fishnet stockings, a tight red corset and bicep length gloves. Her skin was  pale almost white rather than orange, and  her hair was done up in black  and seemed to move on it's own.

Spike had called her a human version of the Mane-iac.  Sunset had mentioned that wasn't far off, but less foal friendly despite the show it was from.

Rahs remained silent about it.

Rahs was wearing a rather tight fitting pair of pants, a frilled white shirt and a large super spiky blonde wig. He was also carrying around a cane and a couple of crystal balls he could juggle.

He claimed the costume was something called a Goblin King.

Sunset claimed she was going to be sticking to him like glue all night.

Thankfully for everyone's sanity  the rest of the girls after Rahs all seemed busy. 
Trixie had a big show in Wilmingtrot.

Saturnia was helping her parents in the Crystal Empire keep an eye on things. Nightmare Night was not  a very popular holiday in the Crystal Empire, and the last few years the few celebrations set up had a number of Crystal Ponies go out of their way to try and destroy the holiday.

This of course put that faction into conflict with those who had found out that Nightmare Night was one of the Royal Family and the other Sparkles Favorite holidays.

While the older Crystal Ponies were still leery of it, the foals were all about dressing up for free candy. 
The candy tribute to Nightmare Moon however was something that didn't happen in the Crystal Empire.

Jynx was swamped with work as news of her new role had gotten out and packs of Diamond Dogs had flocked to the Jade Wolf territories. The area couldn't deal with the number of new dogs and she and Princess Celestia were currently working out places where they could build warrens.

The normal response for a pack getting too large was to dig tunnels further down, but where the Jade Wolf  Warren was set up , digging down too deep would drop them into the  a section of the Duck Pond, and flooded  tunnels full of giant squid were no ones idea of fun.

Applejack was helping with the Apple Family Haunted Maze, which was where Twilight was going to go after she was done being a pain in the ass about her list. Pinkie Pie, Rarity were there as well, though Rainbow Dash and Prince were in Canterlot crashing parties  and pranking.

Most of Ponyville hoped the pair stayed in Canterlot this year.

Seshat was dressed up as well. 

As a tree. 

It was a very good costume.

The crusaders were again waiting for Luna to show up, though all of them were particularly ready to go out for candy. While no pony said anything, all of them were quite aware that it wouldn't be too much longer before it was no longer sociably acceptable to go out on Night Mare Night for free candy, so the lot of them were more than willing to do so as much and as long as they could.

Sweetiebelle had dressed up like a Royal Night Guard, complete with graying of her coat and  adding a paper mache bit to her horn to make her look more like a Kirin.

Scootaloo had put together a Shadowbolts costume like Rainbow Dash had done years prior. 

Firefly, who had the ability to change into any form he wanted, had just cut some eye holes in a sheet and was wearing that.

Spike however had gone all out. With the help of Rahs he had put together a mock up of  a Adaptus Alicornus Salamander Armor to wear.

Granted Applebloom had countered that by managing to put together a Daughter of Battle suit of armor. Spike was a little more concerned that she had some how made the armor suggestive like some of the art in the older books.

Applebloom really had to thank Rarity for the help with how much it distracted Spike.

“Right, so costumes?” twilight questioned holding her pen.

“Duh.” Spike huffed waving a bolt rifle prop.

“Seshat are you certain you can give out the candy?”

“I can make new rooms as need be Twilight and warp the rooms in any shape I want. I most certainly can give out  candy to foals who come knocking.” Seshat sighed. Twilight was a little leery of that as so far there was just a massive bowl of candy in the front lobby on a table with a black table cloth.

“Rahs...”

“Is not part of your checklist.” Sunset cut Twilight off as she grabbed Rahs' arm. ”He's mine tonight.”

Rahs rolled his eyes.

“Whatever.” Twilight sighed. ”Alright, Crusaders are going to wait until Luna gets here and you all have your routes planned out for the night. I think that may be everything.”

“We went over that five times for such a short list.” Scootaloo huffed.

“Shhhh, do you want to get her started again.” Sweetiebelle hissed.

“Excuse me, Ms Sparkle.” Firefly speaks up.

“I told you just call me Twilight.” Twilight sighed.

“At least he never called you Princess.” Spike pointed out.

“Different chain of royalty with changelings.” Twilight pointed out.

“Err yeah, so any way, is there any thing on your list about dealing with a massive bundle of fear hiding under the candy table?” Firefly pointed at the table with the large bowl of candy on it. The table was currently trembling and a long pink tail was sticking out from under the  black table cloth.

“Fluttershy?” Spike questioned.

“How did she even get in here without me noticing?” Seshat demanded puzzled.
