The THOUSANDS Of verbal, mental and physical injuries of which Coltunato has given me I CANNOT ignore them any longer, when i thought it was over, He of course had to give me one last push, it's time to get back...

You knowing me, however. Wouldn't guess that such threats would leave me to get my revenge upon Coltunato. I know what will happen to me, and to all those that are included, but I've planned this for such a long time, i couldn't let the opportunity slip, or else it may never be done, even seeing his handicap at the given time.

He had a weak point, Coltunato. Although he was respected and at times feared. He thought he was the best at his line of Connoisseur of the Apple Families greatest ciders. Few pony's have this talent. For the most part their enthusiasm is adopted to time and place, that way not to impose upon some of the Canterlot ponies, nor Celestia forbid, the Princesses themselves.  In paintings and Jewelry, Coltunato was a mastermind, but not as much as his absurd obsession with Ciders.

It was around Dusk, one evening during Nightmare night, that i found him, he came up to me with an excessive warmth, for he had been drinking Much earlier in the day, the Colt wore a suit, that similar to a Jester. And wore tight-fitting checkered, Black, Yellow and red cap and some sort of garment that had been torn. The cap,being surrounded by small bells and he had worn a mask, a pale face with blush on the sides, smiling.

I Said to him; "Coltunato! how lucky we meet tonight. and looking quite... Well, But i have come into a predicament, I've just purchased a Pipe of the Recent Green Apple Cider, Or so it seems." 

"How?" He said, "A Pipe? impossible, and in the middle of Nightmare night?"

"I Have my doubts," I said;"I Was foolish enough to pay the full price for it, without consulting you in the matter. But you were nowhere to be found, I Was scared i may loose a bargain."

"Green Apple Cider!"
"Allegedly."
"Green Cider!"
"Perhaps..."
"Green Apple Cider!"
"Yes, but seeing as you are busy, I'm off to Lumaize. If anyone knows much about Cider, it is him."
"You make me laugh, Lumaize could not tell Green Apple Cider from... From pond water!" He retorted.
"And yet the Apples say his skill rivals your own." I Said.
"Come, let us go." He demanded.
"What? Where?"
"To your vaults, where you are keeping the Cider." He grew impatient.
"Oh, Celestia no, i do not want to impose, you are already much, MUCH busy." I said sarcastically.
"My good friend, you do not impose!- 'He stumbled, his mask falling off and him kneeling, catching his breath, coughing while he tries to do so.
-' As for Lumaize, he cannot tell Pond water from Cider." he finished.
Saying that, Coltunato fell forward, i used magic to put his mask, and mine, Back on.
As we walked away from the area a loud voice spoke out.
"RUN! ALL YE WHO SEEK CANDIES! FOR IT IS ME! NIGHTMARE MOON!"
Of course, this was Princess Luna, scaring the small ponies who inhabited the area, for the real Nightmare Moon had been delt with, Hundred upon thousands of years. as we trotted off the sounds of laughing and screams came from behind us, as we approached my manor.
