//------------------------------// // Chapter 14: Nightmare Night and Big Brothers // Story: The Last Human // by Blackdragn18 //------------------------------// Hey it’s Nightmare Night! So Twilight and I are going around getting candy. Celestia still gives me weird looks for going out for the candy at my age, but I always say it’s free candy how can you turn it down!? Twilight is dressed as someone she gave me some speech about who it was and a bit about him. I wasn’t really listening because you know I had candy so I was distracted. My costume was clearly the best; I was bored so I went out as Celestia. The only down side is she said that if that was my plan I would need to not go overboard with it. Let me tell ya, ponies give you way more candy when you look exactly like their ruler and god. Twilight and I got so much good candy and stuff it was great. It sucks because Celestia came and stole half my candy. Seriously if you wanted candy you should have come along. Ok Celestia has sent me to some new town called Ponyville it is apparently some sort of simple village thing that has been around for 5 years. Anyway me and Progenitus are heading there in my chariot. I often take Progenitus with me when I go places. Mostly because it is a lot of fun. So anyway, she wants me to go down there for two reasons one she wants me to go visit the new town and also because there is something called cider season. What happens is some family called the Apple family makes what is apparently considered the greatest cider in Equestria. So we landed near some farm. I knew it was the right place because there was a huge line of ponies waiting. We landed at the end of the line to be fair I would have used my status to just go to the front, but Celestia insisted that I be nice and fair. Ok We have been standing here for two hours and the line is moving so slowly. Progenitus got tired so he is sleeping on my shoulders. I can finally see the stand where they are giving the cider. Almost there. Finally. I gave them 10 bits which equals a whole barrel, wow that is really cheap. So anyway I then headed home. Well it would seem that this is alcoholic so Twilight was sad when she did not get any of the cider. But that stuff is really strong because by the time the barrel was empty Celestia and I were totally drunk. According to Twilight we were rather amusing when drunk for example Celestia at one point started playing with the stars she made a weird smiley face and much more. Man I love my regeneration. You see it makes my brain really awesome. For example I am immune to mind control and mind reading. Mostly because doing those things requires killing some brain cells to get through but my brain heals to quickly for that. It also works for hangovers. Sadly for Celestia she can’t do that so she is still stuck with them. I love it because it makes it really fun and easy to mess with her. So she was at the dinner table eating breakfast looking rather sad and ill. Twilight was sitting across from here looking rather worried. I walked up behind her. I then cleared my throat and then entered step two. “GOOD MORNING CELESTIA! I TRUST YOU SLEPT WELL!” I really have to thank Celestia for teaching me about the royal Canterlot voice that she and Luna used to use. “AAGH!” she the yelled. The she began to glare at me. “I hate you.” She whispered. “Aww that hurts Celestia. I am guessing not as much as your head though.” She then got up and left the room a little uneasy I might add. I then sat down where she had been. Twilight was looking at me a bit uneasy. It is hard to tell because she is so short her eyes barely see above the table. “Hey Twilight how’s it going?” “Um Sean what was that about and why is the Princess so angry and sad?” “Oh well Twilight you see, when a pony drinks a lot of alcohol they get drunk and as you saw yesterday when we acted weird. However there is one side effect, it is called a hangover basically it makes someone angry and irritable because they have headaches and light issues and such.” Ok she is definitely a nerd because when I started and she realized she was hearing new information she started to write it down on a napkin. Just wow. “Oh, thanks Sean I have to add this to a real piece of paper see ya.” Then she ran off to her room I assume. So I just finished my breakfast and headed to the throne room to see if I could find Celestia. She was nowhere to be seen I assume she is in her room. Lucky for her it is Sunday so she can just relax and all that. Well I guess I will go play with Progenitus. So I played with him for an hour when I heard my name being called I turned to see Twilight she was being followed by another one. “Hi Sean this is my brother Shining Armor.” She pointed to the white unicorn behind her he was about 4 foot 8 “And Shining Armor this is my friend Sean.” Shining Armor looked at me and bowed slightly. “Pleasure to meet you sir.” “It is isn’t it?” then Twilight started to talk again. So it turns out that Sparkly Suit wants to become part of the royal guard and is going to the training camp this summer. That is when I learned Twilights ulterior motive. She wants me to fight Glitter Steel for practice. Being her friend I decided to roll with it. Yeah Shining Helmet really needs the training. He just kept thrusting a spear at me. I got bored so I slugged him. That is when it got interesting. He raised a magic shield to protect himself it was sort of like a sphere around him. I must say it was a very good shield. I could not get through with my bludgeoning. He was pretty smug “Ha even you can’t break through my shield!” “I am impressed, this is a very good shield sadly due to the quality there is a down side.” I then picked him up and shook him like a maraca. He was really woozy in there. I have some respect for him because he kept that shield up. Anyway I was getting bored so I just put my hand on his shield and absorbed it. Then I drained some of his magic just enough to make him feel a bit tired and unable to raise a new one. Twilight was amazed. She had heard about Sean being able to drain magic but she had never seen it. What happened when he grabbed her brother’s shield he started to get surrounded in the purple aura that her brothers magic makes it then whirled around him and then her brother’s shield was gone and he was on the ground looking tired.
