You blink in stunned shock at all the stuff you currently posses,
"Dang, that is alot of stuff. Note to self: clean out the Inventory the next chance I get. Also, I got to remember to update my "spells and powers list" later, I haven't done that in awhile."
You put the Inventory back on, and are about to go back to thinking if you should fallow Twilight or not, when you suddenly think,
You know what, I should also check my potion sash too. You can never be too sure after all...
With that thought, you look at your Potion Sash (it's under your costume, so you had to life it up a little bit to look at it) and see...
-3 Stink bombs
-3 Fuse Bombs
-4 Molotov Cocktails
-4 Transformation potions
-5 Healing Potions
You nod your head at the assembled bottles,
"Yep, it's all here. I have so many explosives on this thing that I would blow up like a firework if someling hit me..."
A mental image of you blasting off into the air as a firework, then exploding into a billion pieces while all the ponies and creatures that hate you clap and whistle at your explosive death suddenly pops into your mind. You shake your head clear of the thought and think bitterly,
Luna, my thoughts have been either perverted or dark lately... Enough distractions! I need to focus on whether or not I should follow Twilight or not.
But before you can get to that, you suddenly think
Well this sucks. You thought you were rid of Luna, but now Twilight will probably befriend her and bring her back. If that happens, Luna might...
Oh, buck me! you think.
*GONG*
What was that?!
You had an idea, did you not? Your usual DING seemed inappropriate, considering the season.
...Never do that again.
As you wish. So I take it you have some sort of plan?
Huh? Oh, no plan. I just realized how many ponies Luna just scared. If she comes back, she'll break the record easily!
...
You wait.
...
...What?
Well this sucks... Just when I thought I was rid of Luna, Twilight's probably gonna befriend her and bring her back. If that happens, Luna might- Oh, buck me-*GONG*
You recoil in shock at the mental gonging.
"What the buck was that?!"
You had an idea, did you not? Your usual DING seemed inappropriate, considering the season.
...Never do that again. you think deadpan-ly.
As you wish. So I take it you have some sort of plan?
Huh? Oh, no plan. I just realized how many ponies Luna just scared. If she comes back, she'll break the record easy!!!
...
What?
I can't let her have the record! That's MY revenge plan against the Pink Psycho and the Fillyfooler! I will not let her take that from me...but I also don't want to be grounded into paste. Oh... What do I do...?
Your thoughts are interrupted when you spot something shiny on the ground out of the corner of your eye. You lean over and see it's...
Bugzee could not decide about go help Luna or go and stay with the others, it's then that he find a bit in the floor
"Okay... You want it? You got it Lady Luck... Sun I stay here, Moon I go with Twilight Sparkle"
Bugzee throw the bit in the air and watch as it turn around in the air and when the coin is going to land in the floor a bird take it before it land. angry you try it again, only to lose 3 bits as some birds take them.
"Damn Lady Luck, It's too hard to help me?" Shout Bugzee to the nothing
A 1-bit coin. It gives you an idea so you think,
Okay... You want it? You got it Lady Luck... Sun I stay here, Moon I go with Twilight Sparkle.
You flip the coin only for a bird to swoop in and steal the bit.
"Darn it Lady Luck, is it too hard to help me just once you sadistic idiot!? Oh well..."
You sigh as you take out another bit.
"At least lightning never strikes twice..."
SEVEN BITS LATER
"UGGHHHHHHHH!!!"
You shout in frustration (which sounds very threatening due to your voice changer) as the eighth bit you used got carried away by that same stupid bird (18 Bits remaining). You sigh in defeat as you think,
This is getting me nowhere! I need to think of something else... Like maybe...
You then decide to do something that you barely ever do... you use your brain!
You choose to employ your powers of rational thinking. Luna is the princess of the moon to which you've sworn your everlasting loyalty as a do-er of good. She has the power of a goddess, controls the moon, and is pretty good-looking. She also once was an evil supervillan who tried to plunge Equestria into eternal night and suggested that the government hang your daughter. Should you refuse and flee with nightshade, you face being tracked down by a being with the powers of a goddess and the resources of a princess. Should you attempt to befriend her, if she notices the presence of the DFV in your mind, you're dead buggy meat.
You put on your 'thinking face' as you begin to pace back and forth while mumbling,
"Let's see, Luna is the princess of the night and I've sworn my everlasting loyalty to be a do-gooder in her name, she has the power of a goddess, but hopefully isn't as annoying as most of them are *cough*Lady Luck*cough*, can control the moon, and is pretty good looking. I mean have you seen the way the moon reflects off her mane or how her flan-NO! BAD BUG!" *slap clang*
You slap yourself which causes you to hold you hoof in pain cause you forgot that you're wearing a metal helmet. After making sure that your perverted thoughts are gone and that you didn't break your hoof, you continue your pacing and mumbling.
"Buttttt, she was once an evil supervillain who was Tartarus-bent on sending the world into eternal night, which even I know is stupid because she would have eventually killed everypony due to the sun not giving off any heat or growing crops. They would have starved to death if they didn't freeze first."
You swear you hear the DFV mutter "It would have been glorious everlasting final nights", but you ignore her as you continue your rambling,
"What else... oh yeah, she suggested the gallows for MY daughter and she almost killed me and Nightshade back with that big ball of magical death. Thank you Doctor for the save there... then putting me in debt... causing this whole situation to happen- Okay moving on! If I don't follow them and just leave with Nightshade, I may be tracked down by another being who can smash my face in with only a tiny amount of magic and the resources of a princess."
You shiver at the mental image of that, before you continue,
"However, if I do follow them and befriend Luna, I'll risk her finding out about the DFV, which in turn will lead to a very unpleasant discussion involving a dark room and hours of watching My Little Human *shiver*."
You lift your front hooves up as you weigh your options,
"DFV found out... Luna hunts me down... Hours of watching My Little Human *shiver*... Never being able to sleep peacefully... Ah buck it, FOLLOW THAT UNICORN!"
And with the hope that Luna can't read your mind though your helmet, you trot-stomp after Twilight.
An enemy turned friend is much better than an enemy turned hunter... or something like that.
A FEW MINUTES LATER
As you're walking towards where you saw Twilight and Luna head off to, you decide to ask the DFV something,
"Yeah... Hey... Could you tell me if she have something like a weak point? something that could help me if I have to battle her?" Ask Bugzee
"What? So now you want to battle? First you tell me to not damage and now you want to damage" Say NM
"I hope I don't need to do that, but if I need to do to save Nightshade, I will do..." Say Bugzee
"Bad Jokes" Mutter NM
"Say... What?" Ask Bugzee
"That is one of her weak points, at least when I was she... She cannot resist to laugh to bad jokes... the worst the joke is, she laugh even more" Comment NM
Yeah... Hey... Could you tell me if she have something like a weak point? Something that could help me if I have to battle her? If you do know anything that is
So now you wish to do battle? First you make me promise not to kill anypony and now you're-
I hope I don't need to do that, but if I need to do to save Nightshade, I will do...
Bad jokes...
Say... What? you think in confusion.
That is one of her weak points, at least when I was she... She cannot resist to laugh to bad jokes... the worse the joke is, the more she laughs.
You begin to smile goofy like as you say,
"Bad jokes huh... hehehe then I'm in the clear, my jokes are so bad they make a onion cry! Hehheheheh!"
That... that was terrible.
"I know right!"
You then see Twilight and Luna up ahead on a bridge. With enough bad jokes to kill twenty clowns and a mime, you head on over...
Following Twilight and Luna, you all meet up at a bridge over the river. Twilight chooses to start.
"So, princess Luna," she says. "What are you doing here?"
"We hoped to join in the festivities, young Twilight," the princess replies. "But it doth appear that we shan't be welcomed here."
"The townsponies?" You scoff. "They just have a knack for melodrama. Don't worry about them."
"We were also seeking one pony in particular," Luna says. "One who was having nightmares we believed we could aid him with. An individual by the name of Baker Sylvester Tennent."
"B.S.T?" Twilight asks, surprised. "Really? Well why didn't you just ask, he's right-"
"Would you kindly excuse us for a second, princess?" You ask. Your drill starts up, drawing stares from the mares. "Sorry, that just happens," you explain. "Could you excuse us?"
You pull Twilight away before either can respond. "Listen," you tell her. "The princess and I have...erm...history, and it would be in my best interests if she didn't know I was here."
"But-"
"No buts," you tell twilight. "Go tell her to throw spiders at webs or something. I'm going to go hide."
"So, princess Luna," Twilight says as you arrive. "What are you doing here?"
"We hoped to join in the festivities, young Twilight," the princess replies. "But it doth appear that we shan't be welcomed here."
"The townsponies?" You scoff. "They just have a knack for melodrama. Don't worry about them."
"Are thy townsfolk really as... dramatic as you speak of?" Luna asks you.
"Lady, you could tell them the most harmless, fluffy, adorable thing in the entire universe would kill them all if they so much as looked at it, and they would be in their houses in a heart beat with doors locked and windows boarded."
"So it was you who told everypony that about that adorable spider I brought into town to study!" Twilight says to you accusingly.
"Hey! Spiders are very dangerous, with the fangs and venom."
"If it bit you, all it would have caused is a minor genetic mutation!"
"Minor genetic mutation my flank! Have you see Spider-Mane!"
"A-hem." Luna interrupts, "We were also seeking one pony in particular, One who was having nightmares we believed we could aid him with. An individual by the name of Baker Sylvester Tennent."
"B.S.T?" Twilight asks, surprised. "Really? Well why didn't you just ask, he's right-"
*whirl*
Your drill starts up, drawing stares from the mares.
"Sorry, that just happens," you explain. "Could you excuse us for a second princess?"
You pull Twilight away before either can respond.
"Listen," you tell her. "The princess and I have... erm... history, and it would be in my best interests if she didn't know I was here."
"But-"
"No buts," you tell Twilight. "Go tell her to throw spiders at webs or something. I'm going to go hide."
With that, you quickly leave as Twilight just sighs at your retreating form, along with a look of suspicion, but when she turns around, Luna is gone! She sighs as she goes after her, and you "silently" follow (your suit isn't exactly a ninja one-piece and the only reason Twilight doesn't turn around is because she's rolling her eyes at your antics),
It's in your best interest to keep on eye on her, if anything to make sure she gets out of town without finding you or Night Shade. You decide to stealthily follow Twilight...which doesn't work since you are a clamboring hunk of metal.
Twilight: I can hear you you know? If you're gonna follow, just walk with me!
You: Never! Then she'll get both of us at once! Now would you kindly forget I exist and keep moving?
Twilight: Sigh
You hide behind a skinny tree which in no way hides you, When Twilight gets to Luna, she is sitting sadly in the shadow of the Nightmare Moon statue
You: Heh, Symbolism much?
Luna starts using the RC voice talking about how Twilight freed her
DFV: More like she attempted to murder your only friend you hussy!
You: Yeesh, calm down
You then hear Twilight telling her how she can help her change her ways to make her fit better into Ponyville
You: Huh, and look, she's already accepting it, she didn't need to get threatened
DFV: I said I'm trying...
Twilight: I can take you to my friend Fluttershy, she can help you with speaking softly
Luna: Very well then, we also wish to speak to a Mr. Baker Sylvester Tennant when we are given time, he is troubled by Nightmares and wished to speak to me about it. I received a letter from him yesterday
You: How to the Buck did she get that letter?!
DFV: The curse of Lady Luck of course
You: Of Course...
Twilight: Well actually, he's right over there (she points at your "hidden" form)
You: TWILIGHT YOU TRAITOR!!!
Twilight: But you wrote to her.
Luna: PLEASE MR. TENNANT! I WISH TO HELP WITH YOUR PROBLEMS (RCV)
You: YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!!!
You then bash into the tree, setting it on fire in the process, as you run away.
Luna: WAIT CITIZEN!!!
"I can hear you you know?" Twilight says, "If you're gonna follow, just walk with me!"
"Are you nuts! She'll get both of us at once! Now would you kindly forget I exist and keep moving?"
Twilight sighs in annoyance as you duck behind a skinny tree which in no way hides you. When Twilight gets to Luna, she is sitting sadly in the shadow of the Nightmare Moon statue.
Heh, Symbolism much? You snark in your mind.
More like she attempted to murder your only friend you weak strumpet! the DFV mutters as Luna starts using the RC voice while talking about how Twilight freed her.
Yeesh, calm down. Wait... how would you know what it felt like to be hit by those Elements of Rainbowness thingys?
Ugh, how dumb are you. I know how they felt because I'm N-
She gets interrupted when you shush her as you hear Twilight telling Luna,
"-that might explain why your appearance was met with... mixed results. I think if you just changed your approach a bit, you might be met with a warmer reception."
"Change our approach?" Luna asks in confusion.
"Lower the volume?"
"Ohhh. We have been locked away for a thousand years. We are... not sure we can, but we can try."
Huh, and look, she's already accepting it WITHOUT needing to get threatened with mutual suicide. You mentally point out.
I said I'm trying... the DFV... pouts?
"I can take you to my friend Fluttershy, she can help you with speaking softly"
"Very well then. We also wish to speak to a Mr. Baker Sylvester Tennant when we are given time."
*crack* She's still focused on that?! you mentally panic.
"He is troubled by Nightmares and wished to speak to us about it. We received a letter from him yesterday."
"How to the Buck did she get that letter?!" you say in out-loud panic.
The curse of Lady Luck of course
Of Course... you mentally grumble.
"Well actually, he's right over there." Twilight says as she points at hoof at your "hidden" form.
"TWILIGHT YOU TRAITOR!!!"
"But you wrote to her-"
"PLEASE MR. TENNANT! WE ONLY WISH TO HELP WITH THES PROBLEMS-"
"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!!!" you scream as you try to run away...
*crack foosh*
and bash through the tree (setting it on fire in the process) as you run away.
"WAIT, CITIZEN!!!" Luna calls after you with the Royal Canterlot Voice, but you're already long gone...
ONE "Heroic" RUN LATER
As you run away, you realize two things
1. You just set that tree on fire...does this suit have plasmids?
and
2. They were going to head to Fluttershy's place! You haven't seen her all night, seeing as how she's afraid of EVERYTHING, but still everyone else is thinking Luna is Nightmare Moon, and she might die of a heart attack...Buck
You start heading towards Fluttershy's place, as you try to see how to produce Plasmids
You point your hoof at a tree and try to set it on fire, but it doesn't work, but you do feel a rush of wind leave your hoof...but that can be from the Element Bending you read about...still not that strong yet.
You: Would you kindly release a plasmid?
And you send lightning form your hooves
You: OH BUCK YES!!!
You then try out the others, from fire and ice and telekinesis, but not the bee one, that's way too creepy.
As you're catching your breath (running around in a suit of underwater armor really does a number on a bug) you realize something,
Wait... THEY"RE HEADING TO FLUTTERSHY'S PLACE!!! I haven't seen her all night and seeing how she's scared of everything, Luna might give her a heart attack... buck...
With that in mind, you start heading towards Fluttershy's place. On you're way there, you realize another thing,
Wait a minute... Did I set that tree on fire by smashing through it? How is that even possible? I only checked out the "Air" volume. And it was this costume- Wait. Do I have... plasmids?
You stop and point your gloved hoof at a tree and try to set it on fire, but it doesn't work. You swore you felt a tiny rush of wind in your gloves... but that could be from the Element Bending you read about... still not that strong yet so it could have just been the wind. Finally you say doubtfully,
"Would you... kindly release a plasmid-?"
Suddenly, the tree bursts into flames!
"What?!" you say as you recoil in shock, but then you smile insanely and try to test out lightning when an image of the word "Congratulations" in big bold letters pops up in front of you.
You jump back in shock, until you realize that it is on your 'hud' of your helmet. You look at it questionably, but before you can say anything a pony says,
Congratulations! You have discovered the secret function of this Subject Delta costume! You see, the glove of this costume are equipped with actual plasmids based on the game "BioShock"! You don't even need the full costume, just the gloves! Simply say "Would you kindly {Insert name of plasmid here} and you will gain that plasmid through it being injected into your system though the glove! However, this will only work with the glove on, and you can only have one plasmid on at a time. Simply say "Would you kindly switch to {plasimd name here}" to initiate the change. These gloves have three original plasmids in it; Incinerate!, Telekinesis, and Electro Bolt. But, there are other plsmids and vigors scattered around the world. Can you find them all?
You stare in shock for a moment, before you smile in geeky glee as you shout,
"BUCK YEAH! PLASMIDS AND VIGORS LOOK OUT, CAUSE I'M GONNA FIND YOU ALL!"
With that you decide to test out one of your new plasmids,
"Would you kindly release Electro Bolt!"
Your gloved hoof gets covered in electricity, and you smile in glee as you try it out but...
And find yourself with the power of lightning... You eagerly test it out... In a metal suit... Ouch.
"IDAKFFAKDFJAFJWETKMDDNEJFBSJNFLSJ!"
You end up electrocuting yourself. Apparently your metal Subject Delta conducts eclectically. So... Ow.
Now I know why Darth Invader can't use dark side lightning... You think as you get up with smoke rising form your body, but you don't care about the mental brain damage you probably just got, all you care about is that you have Luna motherbucking plasmids! You gleefully test out the rest of them as you head towards Fluttershy's place (you even get to get some revenge by hitting that bit-stealing bird in the head with an acorn thrown by your telekinesis and get your bits back! (*26 Bits remanining*)...
You catch up to them just as Pinkie Pie gasps.
"NIGHTMARE MOON HAS STOLEN FLUTTERSHY'S VOICE!"
You, Luna, and Twilight give a collective "Huh?"
"EVERYPONY RUN!"
The herd turns and flattens you as they run away.
As you approach Fluttershy's cottage you hear,
"NIGHTMARE MOON HAS STOLEN FLUTTERSHY'S VOICE! EVERYPONY RUN!!!"
"WHAT!?" you yell as you stop in confusion,
*trample*
But the next thing you know, you're run over by a stampeding squad of foals led by a big pink foal in a chicken outfit. Thankfuly, the armor protected you so you get back up and see...
When you get to Fluttershy's place, you see her limp body in Luna's joyous hooves and hear Pinkie screaming with the Kids
You: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I'LL SAVE YOU FLUTTERSHY!!!
Fluttershy: OK
Luna holding Fluttershy's limp body in her hooves!
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I'LL SAVE YOU FLUTTERSHY!!!" you yell, ignoring the Doctor's order as you charge in.
Fluttershy just looks at you and whimpers a "Ok" as you charge in front of Luna and before the Moon goddess can speak you roar...
What you are about to do is a cheap shot, but it must be done. You lift up the plushie knock-out Luna.
She gasps. "It's beautiful!"
"I know. I wish I didn't have to do this to you, Princess, but-WHAT?!"
Luna levitates the plushie out of your grip and hugs it. "It's a lovely gift. Thank you, citizen!" Before you can say anything else, she magically pulls you into the hug as well.
Hey! Explain!
How?! I'm not the Doctor!
Luna pulls away with an enormous smile on her face. "We must tell the townponies about this! Come, friend! With you at my side, they won't fear me as much!"
"Would you kindly TAKE THIS MOON BUTT!!!" and use you whisper the command for the Telekinesis. You then use it to grab the "Knock-out Luna Plushie" from the Inventory before throwing it into her face.
"Mr. Tennant! What are you doing?!" Twilight yells, but before you could respond,
"It's beautiful!" Luna gasps
"I know. I wish I didn't have to do this to you, Princess, but-WHAT?!" you say in disbelief.
Luna levitates the plushie off of her face and hugs it.
"It's a lovely gift. Thank you, citizen!"
Before you can say anything else, she magically pulls you into the hug as well.
Gak! Can't breathe... but... hug... feels... REALLY... good- NO! BAD BUG!
While Luna is still slowly depriving you of air (hugging you) Twilight says while shielding her eyes form the plushie...
Twilight: Princess Luna, that doll has a sleep enchantment on it, don't look at it
Luna: I know it does Ms. Sparkle, it causes those to gaze upon it to have pleasant dreams after troubling times...It's a representation of my duties...Thank you Mr. Tennant...(she puts it away) now about your Nightmares...
You: Heh, well about that (you break the hug) LOOK A DISTRACTION (You point at Fluttershy who was trying to sneak back into her house)
Fluttershy: EEEP! (falls back down)
As you run away, Luna calls after you sadly
Luna: Bu-But wait...I just want to help...(sad)
"Princess Luna, that doll has a sleep enchantment on it, don't look at it!"
"We know it does Ms. Sparkle, it causes those to gaze upon it to have pleasant dreams after troubling times... It's a representation of my duties... Thank you Mr. Tennant..."
Luna pulls away from the hug with an enormous smile on her face,
"We must tell the townponies about this! Come, friend! With you at my side, they won't fear me as much!"
Luna puts the plushie onto her back before continuing.
"Now about your Nightmares-"
"Heh, well about that..." you interrupt, "LOOK A DISTRACTION!!"
You shout this as you point at Fluttershy who was trying to sneak back into her house who promptly falls back down with an "EEEP!" while you run off while Luna and Twilight are distracted.
"Bu-But wait... I just want to help..." Luna calls after you sadly.
You run and hide under the small bridge to Fluttershy's cottage. When Twilight and Luna leave, you see the sad look on Luna's face and guiltily think,
Okay, maybe screaming at her when she was just trying to help wasn't the BEST idea...
You then go up to a still-on-the-ground Fluttershy to see if she's okay, but when she sees you she...
Go check on Fluttershy and see Luna holding a limp Fluttershy. Reluctantly follow the Doctor's orders before charging in, but Twilight and Luna leave before you reach "10". You then go check on Fluttershy who panics upon seeing a Big Daddy, but you take your helmet off to reassure her... and then you remember that you're currently a changeling underneath...
QUICK! Claim that you're Mr. Tennant in a costume within a costume, make sure she's okay, and then run off.
"Oh... Bi-big... sc-scary... mo-monster!"
You protectively look around Fluttershy, drill whirling, and yell,
"AHHH! WHERE'S THE BIG SCARY MONSTER! I'LL MAKE HIM EAT HIS OWN FLAMING LIVER!!! MWAHAHAHA!!!"
Fluttershy points a shaky hoof at you causing you to point dumbly at yourself in response before saying,
"Oooooh, you mean my costume. It's okay, it's just me. B.S. Tennant."
"H-how... can... I-I be sure?" Fluttershy asks in fear.
"Here I'll take off my helmet." With that, you takes your helmet off.
"AHHHHHHhhhhhhh?" Fluttershy screams in fear that give way to confusion.
You look at her strangely before you realize what you just did and think in horror,
Oh shoot! I just showed Fluttershy that I'm a changeling! Gotta think of something fast. Come on, think, think... *ding* I got it!
Meanwhile, Fluttershy thinks, Wait a minute... A changeling with an orange spiky mane... It can't be-
"Calm down Fluttershy, I'm just wearing a costume within a costume. You know... costumeception!" you quickly blurt out as you help her back on her hooves "Yeah, that's it! Well..."
You put the helmet on before continuing,
"Happy Nightmare Night, I gotta bolt, See ya!"
And with that, you run off back to Ponyville. Fluttershy looks at your retreating form suspiciously
"Nightmare Night! What a fright! Give us Something sweet to bite!"
"EEEP!"
-before fainting again when startled by a filly in a butterfly costume.
BACK IN PONYVILLE
You run away back to town and find Night Shade playing bobbing for apples.
In Town, Luna starts actually having fun, and loosening up around the towns folks
You: Oh great, now she might come around for visits if she feels this welcome...curse you lady luck
Night Shade: But she's having fun daddy, there's nothing wrong with that
Thankfully the wonderful Pink Menace causes a riot when Luna saves the little Pirate.
When you arrive back where the games are, you find Nightshade playing 'bobbing for apples'. You also see Princess Luna lightening up and having fun causing you to mutter,
"Oh great, now she might come around for visits if she feels this welcome... curse you lady luck."
"Ut he waving fun ahdy" Nightshade mumbles with an apple in her mouth before she bites it and swallows it in one gulp and continues "There's nothing wrong with that."
You smile at Nightshade as you ruffle her mane and say,
"Yeah... you're right sweetie-"
"Yes?" Sweetie Belle says.
"Not you." you and Nightshade say at the same time before you continue.
"She looks like she having a blast. And considering how I've been treating her, that's a good sign. I think I might go over and talk to he-Oh No..."
Nightshade looks at you curiously and asks,
"What Daddy?"
You watch as the Pink Psycho is about to cause a riot after Luna saved that pirate colt from the Apple bobbing in your area,
"Pinkie please don't do what I think your gonna do..."
ONE PINKIE DOING WHAT YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA DO LATER
You: OK, Ponies just seem to panic way too much around here
Luna loses her temper, and then she cancels Nightmare Night...
Night Shade: No more Nightmare Night?
You: No more dressing up...
Night Shade: No more free candy...
DFV: Good, this holiday was a farce anyway
You/Night Shade: NNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!
As you start panicking, both you and Night Shade note Princess Luna walking away crying, and telling Twilight to leave her alone.
She then looks at your Knock Out Plushie and throws it into the water sadly. Night Shade goes and retrieves it, as you walk back to town as many foals cry for the lost holiday
You: Well this sucks...
N: She looked so sad Daddy...and she saved Pip...why was everyone so mean to her?
You: Because she deserves it, stupid free candy canceling witch...
You don't notice her walking off
You: Honey? Honey where are you?
DFV: I TOLD YOU TO KEEP HER CLOSE!
You: I was! She must’ve snuck off…she probably just went to catch up with her friends.
DFV: MAKE SURE! BECAUSE IF THAT TRAITOROUS WHORSE FINDS HER, THEN YOUR ENTOURAGE OF MARES FROM THE SULTRY TWINS TO YOUR INCESTUOUS COUSIN WON’T BE ABLE TO DO A BUCKING THING WITH YOU BECAUSE I WILL CASTRATE YOU!
You: Gulp. I’m on it. Oh please oh please let her be with her friends…
Yup. Pinkie made the foals run away again causing Luna to try to overcompensate by bringing the plastic throwing spiders to life and now ponies are starting to panic and run around in mindless fear.
"Huzzah! How many points do I receive?" Luna asks in mane-frazzled desperation.
"HOLY MOTHER OF YOU! YOU BROUGHT THEM TO LIFE!" you scream in panic.
"Aw, but they're so cu-"
Nightshade tries to pet a spider, but it snaps at her so she yelps and jumps on your back in fright.
"NOT CUTE! NOT CUTE! THEY'RE NOT EVEN NATURAL!!!"
*snap*
"Would you kindly GET THE BUCK OFFA ME!!!" You scream as you use telekinesis (still active form when you used it at Fluttershy's) and the drill to throw and smack away spiders (and knock out the occasional pony when he runs straight into your flailing drill)
"BE STILL!!!" Luna roars as lightning crackles causing everypony to bow down in fear... everypony except for you who's still standing with Nightshade on your back and your porthole glowing orange.
"D-Daddy... What's happening?" Nightshade asks in fear, but before you could respond, Luna roars,
"SINCE YOU CHOOSE TO FEAR YOUR PRINCESS RATHER THAN LOVE HER, AND DISHONOR HER WITH THIS INSULTING CELEBRATION, WE DECREE THAT NIGHTMARE NIGHT SHALL BE CANCELLED! FOREVER!"
You and Nightshade's eyes widen at that.
"No more Nightmare Night?" Nightshade says.
"No more dressing up..." you say.
"No more free candy..." Nightshade says
Good. This holiday was a farce anyway-
"NNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!" you and Nightshade scream.
As you start panicking, Princess Luna walks away weeping, and telling Twilight to leave her alone. She then holds up and looks at your Knock-Out Plushie and throws it into the water in sorrowful anger. Nightshade goes and retrieves it, as you walk back to town as many foals cry for the lost holiday.
"Well this bucking sucks..." you comment.
"She looked so sad Daddy... and she saved Pip... why was everypony so mean to her?"
"Because she deserves it, stupid foal-lynching, free candy-canceling witch..."
During your insulting of Luna, you don't notice Nightshade wandering off.
"Honey? Honey where are you?" you ask in concern
I TOLD YOU TO KEEP HER CLOSE!!!
"I was! She must’ve snuck off... she probably just went to catch up with her friends."
MAKE SURE! BECAUSE IF THAT TRAITOROUS WHORSE FINDS HER, THEN YOUR ENTOURAGE OF MARES FROM THE SULTRY TWINS TO YOUR INCESTUOUS COUSIN WON’T BE ABLE TO DO A BUCKING THING WITH YOU BECAUSE I WILL CASTRATE YOU!!!
*Gulp* "I'm on it. Oh please oh please let her be with her friends…"
POV change: Nightshade
I know Daddy said Luna was a mean pony who I should stay away form, but she looked so sad... like Daddy did when that mean old Ursa smashed... her... cart. I just need to cheer her up! That's what Daddy would do!
And with that, Nightshade goes after Luna... To cheer up the night.
What do you do?
