//------------------------------// // 4 In comes Sir Bearington // Story: Moonie shorts [Filly Nightmare Moon] // by Eighth //------------------------------// You walk up to the school to pick up Nightmare Moon. She's there waiting for you. After a quick check with Cheerilee, you find she's done nothing wrong today for once but Moonie is grumpy about something. Along the way home, you decide to ask. "So, what's wrong?" "The other kids won't be my evil minions." "And?" "You fool! How can I be the Queen of the Night without any evil minions to do my bidding?" "I've got an idea." You say nothing more despite Moonie's constant asking. When you get home, you give her a book to read and head into your room. Under the bed, you find the stuffed bear you were planning to give to Moonie for her birthday or Christmas. Before you take it to her, you get an idea to stitch an evil looking grin onto its mouth, giving it wide, sharp teeth. You stitch eyebrows to make it look a little angrier. Hopefully it's enough. You walk out with the bear hidden behind your back. Moonie immediately notices. "Close your eyes." She pauses before doing as you ask then you sit the bear in front of her. "Now, open." She opens her eyes and the second she notices the bear, she goes wide-eyed in joy before wrapping it up into a big hug. "Do you like it? You finally have your own evil minion." She gives an eager nod before looking again at the bear. "I shall call you Sir Bearington and you will be my Lord of Mayhem. Nothing shall stop us."
