//------------------------------// // Day 1 part 4 // Story: Camping can be Evil // by WolfoftheWaves Pony //------------------------------// All of the villains sat around the campfire, late at night, with the stars twinkling above them. Luna looked at the darkened sky with longing. Discord, who sat beside her, noticed the moon princesses' desire. He put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, Luna?" He whispered. Luna glanced down at him. "It will be okay. Once we are out of here, you can kick whosoever fault this is' flank." Then he glanced at Tirek, who was staring into the flames. "And I will too." Luna chuckled. "I think I will do that." Sombra noticed the scene between Discord and Luna, and a fierce jealousy rose up withing him. What was he doing? He thought. He is the former king of the Crystal Empire! He enslaved thousands of ponies to work in his crystal mines. He hid the crystal heart and trapped that purple unicorn. And here he was, doing exactly what Luna did not want. Acting like a little foal. Chrysalis noticed Sombra's jealousy. As a love-eater, she can sense all sorts of emotions. So now, it was time to set her plan in action. Raising a hoof to her head, she cried out, "Oh! The pain!" "Uh, Chrysalis, are you okay?" Discord asked. "No!" She cried out. "I have no more love! The canteen is empty! I think that I am slowly going to... wither away!" Skeptical looks appeared on Tirek's, Discord's, and Luna's faces. Sombra, whoever, looked concerned. He obviously believed bad acting. "Chrysalis!" Luna said. "You told me that you had found a new food source this afternoon!" "Well, uh, um, it is GONE! I need, love, to feed on, or I might die!" She slumped to the ground, groaning about, "The pain, THE PAIN!" She sighed when she wasn't getting what she wanted. "THE PAIN!" She yelled once more. This was starting to annoy Sombra. He had figured out a short while ago that Chrysalis was faking. "Oh, give it a rest, Chrysalis," He said, now instituting his decision to NOT be a little foal. "Or I might blast a hole through you." "What!?" She shouted. "You will do no such thing!" He glanced at her. "Try me." He felt the dark magic course through him once more. It was turning him bitter. "Just admit it!" "Admit what?" Luna asked. "ADMIT THAT YOUR IN LOVE WITH LUNA!" "WHAT!?!?" Luna and Sombra shouted at the same time. Sombra's eyes turned green, and a purple smoke started to pour out of them. "You will regret that." He lunged for her,bringing the Changling down to her knees. Then he grew crystals around her, encasing her in a trap. For his next part, he enacted his fear spell on the Queen. And she started to scream. Sombra then whipped around and saw Tirek, Discord, and Luna staring at him. He locked eyes with Luna. Then, he turned himself into a mist, and flew off. "He, he likes me?" Luna whispered under her breath, a definite blush appearing on her cheeks. Celestia choked on the breath she had sucked in just before Chrysalis told everypony of the news. "Sombra and... LUNA!??" She whispered under her breath. She just could not see it happening. Her little Woona and an evil overlord? The two don't mix! And what if they start getting... Celestia banished the thought to the moon. No, that wouldn't happen. But maybe she should send somepony there to keep them in check. She didn't really like it, but she knew just the pony to send. And she better do it quick. Luna stared into the fire, her mind racing. Tirek hopped up from his log, and left to his tent. This left Discord, Luna, and fearful Chrysalis. "Uh," Discord said. "Shouldn't we take Chrysalis out of there?" "Let her stay in," Luna responded. "Oh. Okay. Fine by me. This is fun!" He noticed that this did nothing to lighten his friend's mood. He grew concerned. "Luna, are you okay?" "Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Just... distracted." "Well, if you need me," Discord said, stretching. "I will be in my tent." Then, he left the nightmare sitting there, staring into the flames. "He likes me," She whispered. "He, he likes me." Then, she blushed once more.
