Tonight was the night. It was the Nightmare Night costume party. Nyx, and Crim stood outside the schoolhouse were the party was taking place being a good thirty minutes early so they played on the swings. "You think we'll win?" asked Nyx.
"Why of course the others went out and bought there's we took the time to make ours we have the edge." said Crim pushing her glasses back up her muzzle. They continued to swing until Miss. Cheerilee opened the schoolhouse doors, and Nyx saw a stream of fillies, and colts dressed up in mid evil attire walk into the building. Nyx halted her swing, and her and Crim followed the students to the party.
The classroom was decorated with all sorts of spooky stuff ranging from cobwebs to skulls to dismembered wings, and horns. The atmosphere made Nyx want to jump around, and play probably due to her being Nightmare Moon incarnate. Anyway her, and Crim walked to the refreshments table, and waited around for a while. Mostly because when Nyx tried to make small talk with the fillies, and colts in the room they glared at her, or ran away well except for the Cutiemark Crusaders they seemed to never leave her presence at all that night Nyx assumed it was because she struck back at the bullies that tried to ruin there lives on a daily business. She was glad to have done it. She smiled as she arrived back at the table the CMC still following her smiling and chatting every now and then asking about Nyx.
But then Scootaloo asked "What was with your mane, and eyes back when you were kicking Diamond Tiara's flank?" looking directly into Nyx's dragon slitted eyes.
She gulped, and tried to come up with a response that wouldn't give away her origins as Nightmare Moon when Sweetiebelle spoke up "Scootaloo don't make her uncomfortable that's not very nice." Nyx let out her breath.
"Thanks Sweetie...." Nyx said.
"No problem." she said her voice squeaking on problem.
About a hour later Gage and Fluttershy walked in apparently the fillies and colts parents or in Nyx's case guardians are allowed to come. Gage was dressed up in an horned helm, studded armor, and a sword was in a sheathe on his side. Fluttershy was dressed in a healers robes, and had a small dagger in her side. Were the weapons toys? No. Should they be? Yes.
"Hey there kiddo." said Gage walking over he had taken to calling her 'Kiddo' ever since he brought her home from the hospital. He also along with Fluttershy were filling out papers to become her legal guardian. Nyx felt it was to rushed but didn't object she longed for family ever since she arrived.
"Hey Gage!" said Crim smiling as she broke off from her conversation with Applebloom to greet Nyx's new.....well dad. Nyx didn't know how to feel she'd never had a father she was created by a spell for Celestias sake, but she was determined to make it work no matter how hard!
"Heyo Crim!" said Gage while Fluttershy remained rather quiet. "How is the party so far?" he asked us.
"It's okay actually haven't seen Diamond Tiara or her silver goon. (Rhyming Nyx.....crap the fourth wall broke QUICK MAX GET THE DUCT TAPE!) anyway Nyx smiled as her adoptive parents to be walked off to see the sights.
"......You seen Applebloom and Sweetie?" asked Nyx seeing that they were two crusaders short at the moment.
"They said they had to do something I saw them go out back." said Crim gesturing with her hoof to the back door.
"Thanks." said Nyx trotting to the door and resting her hoof on the knob. She twisted the knob and opened the door, and found the two crusaders......they were nuzzling each other. When they noticed Nyx in the doorway they jumped a little.
"Nyx what are yah doin here?" said Applebloom blushing madly.
"I was looking for you two, but it looks like your busy I'll just be going now..." said Nyx blushing herself now as she backed up, and closed the door on the blushing couple.
When Nyx arrived still blushing a little at the punch table the costume contest was just beginning, and Nyx, and Crim were as they knew last on the list to present so they sat and watched. "So were are Sweetiebelle and Applebloom?" asked Scootaloo "I thought you were looking for them didn't you?"
"Yes I did." said Nyx "and I found them...." Nyx blushed a bit.
"Well they better show soon or else well loose for sure." said the pegasus her wings fluttering causing her musketeer cape to flap. Yes the CMC were dressed up as the Three Muskateers Gage gave them the outfits. Nyx thought it suited them really well.
After a few minutes Nyx felt a strange sensation against her sides she checked her bags and saw that the cube was glowing, and it was buring hot! Nyx tried to pick it up with her hoof, but it burned her so she decided to try and levitate it. She never could seem to levitate things right but she wanted to try! Her horn lit up, and a purple aura enveloped the cube, and no sooner than it did a flash filled the room and Nyx was knocked out cold.
Nyx awoke groggily, and tried to stand and instantly falling. She tried multiple times more but kept failing "Why can't I stand." she said struggling yet again until a limb grabbed her under her arms....ARMS! Thought Nyx as she decided to look down at herself. She was a bipedial creature with hands and arms like a Minotaur only way less thick. She still had her horn, and wings to!
"Kiddo you okay?" asked the person who helped Nyx up she turned and saw Gage in the same form as her.
"I'm okay, but what happend?" she asked looking around. She saw Crim slowly raise somehow her glasses stayed on her face.
"The cube happend." said Gage "Were anthro now kiddo." he said. Nyx knew what anthro meant, and she was about to freak out her, and everypony in Equestria probably were anthropomorphic now......and she caused it.
