//------------------------------// // Nightmare Night Feast of Candy // Story: Nightmare Night Feast of Candy // by Phoenix Warlord //------------------------------// "Come on Twilight, your friends are going to be here pretty soon," Night Light calls up to his daughter as she and her mother where struggling to get her costume on. “Be down in a minute daddy!” Twilight calls out to him as her mother, Velvet Sparkle, helps her with her costume, a foal sized costume of Clover the Clever. "Now are you sure about this one Twilight? I mean there still is a chance to change costumes," Velvet Sparkle asks her daughter as she lifts the hat for her little filly’s costume up with her magic. “No mommy! Clover the Clever is my favowite magician! I wanna be just like her when I gwow up!” "If you say so, my little magician," She replies with a smile and gently sets the hat down on her daughter’s head and picks her up with her magic and kisses her nose. "Hope you have fun tonight.” “I will mommy! Aren’t you coming?” Twilight asks, shaking her head as the bells jingle on her hat. "I am sweetie, just gonna let you do your own thing tonight so long as you're safe," She says, setting down her little filly as he brother knocks on the door. “BBBFF?” Twilight calls out towards the door, as it slowly opens. "Hey Twily," Shining says pushing open the door to her room. "Just wanted to say hope you have fun tonight. I’m going to be hanging out with my friends tonight.” “Is Cadance going to be there?” Twilight giggles as Shining blushes when her little sister mentioned her foal sitter around him. "Y-Yes she is but we're only going to watch movies that you can't see yet; you know, since you're little," He says giving her a smile. “Maybe you’ll kiss her during it!” Twilight giggles again as her mother rolls her eyes with a grin. "Come on Twilight, we're only friends," Shining says and rubs the back of his head. “For now…” Twilight grins as she makes her way out of her room and makes it to the top of the stairs. “Daddy! I’m ready!” "Just in time Twilight. Who are you supposed to be?" He asks with a smile. “You’ll see,” she grins as the purple unicorn filly trots down the steps, her bells on her hat jingling with each trot. "Hmm... Clover the Clever?” "Yes daddy! Correct!” "Interesting," He says as a knock is heard on the door. "Wonder who that would be?” “Maybe one of my fwiends?” Twilight wonders as her dad goes to answer the door. "Well if it isn't my old friend Rainbow Blitz, and his wonderful wife," Night Light says giving his friend a hoof bump and his wife a gentle kiss on her hoof. "Where's the little one?” “Here I am! Wainbow Dash! The fastest fwyer in all of Eqwestria!” the cyan filly with a rainbow mane and tail, dressed as a Wonderbolt, says with her goggles up and hovers over her parents. "Oh there she is! Dressed up like a Wonderbolt huh?" Night Light asks with a smile then looks back over at his daughter. "Twilight's in the living room if you wanna meet her.” “Awesome!” she says as she zips past Night Light and goes and lands near her friend. “Twilight!” “Wainbow Dash!" Twilight says as she hugs her tightly and looks at her costume. “Wonderbolt?" “You know it! My biggest dweam to come twrue!” Rainbow says to her, looking at Twilight’s costume. “Um, are you some sort of wizard or someting?” "I'm Clover the Clever!" Twilight says with a smile showing off her costume to her friend. Rainbow cocks an eyebrow, looking at her friend. “Who now?” "You know... Starswirl the Beawded's fwiend?” “Who?” “Clover the Clever!" Twilight says as her horn starts glowing gently. “Whateva! Weady to get tons of fwee candy?” Dash says excitedly to her friend. "Yes I am!" Twilight says with a smile as the glow of her horn vanishes and their parents start talking to each other. — “I’m sure we’ll be seeing Twi’s and Dashie’s friends tonight in their costumes also.” Rainbow Blitz says to Night Light with a grin. "I'm sure of it too," Nightlight says with a smile and then looks over at their wives who were talking with each other. — “Oh, don’t those two look so cute in their outfits?” Dashing Blue, Rainbow’s mother, says with a grin, looking at her daughter. "Yes they do, Twilight insisted that I help her with getting Clover the Clever's just right. Let me tell you... five books later and we finally picked it out.” “I see. Dashie wanted to be a Wonderbolt since last Nightmare Night. She never changed her mind since then. She’s something else…” "Who knows Dashing... maybe she'll become a Wonderbolt one day. I mean Twilight starts her lessons with Princess Celestia just after the new year.” “Possibly. Ever since her dad took her to see them in show, she’s talked nothing else except being a Wonderbolt one day.” "I wouldn't be surprised if Night Light and I start hearing about a cyan mare who got into the Wonderbolts. She's very talented for one so young; just like our little Twilight.” “We’d love to hear if Twilight would become a princess one day. I’m sure she’d love it!” "That would be a very happy day for her, and a proud one for her father and I," Twilight Velvet says with a smile. "Do you remember who else was supposed to meet us before they go out?” “I think their friends Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and I believe Pinkie Pie will be joining us.” Dashing says, seeing the two fillies talk to themselves. “Girls! Ready to go?” "Yes we awe mom!" Dash says turning her head to look at her mom with a large smile on her face as Twilight looks at her mom with the same look. “Let’s go and get your friends, so we can begin our fun night!” Twilight Velvet says to them. "Yes mommy," Twilight says as she and Dash pretty much start jumping up and down with an unlimited bundle of energy inside their bodies. Dash chuckles and flutters her wings and makes their way towards their parents. “I wonder what the others will be like?” "Knowin' the othews, we'll be happy to see them," Twilight says as her mother pushes open the door and leads their small group outside into the cool Ponyville night. — “Oh yeah! Look at my stash!” Dash says, showing Twilight her pale full of candy and sweets after some time during Nightmare Night "Not bad... but look at mine," Twilight says lifting her large pillowcase full of candy. “Not too bad! Impwessive!” "Thank you Dash. You did pwetty well yourself.” “I know! I’m totawy awesome!” “In ya dweams sugacube!” another voice calls out to the group. "Applejack!" Twilight calls out to their friend with a smile and a excited wave. “Hiya there! How have ya made out so far?” she asks them, nuzzling them both with her scarecrow costume. "Dash and I made out weally well," Twilight says setting down her pillowcase full of candy. "How about you?” “Eh, pwetty well I guess,” she shrugs, showing her pumpkin pale from her mouth. "Not bad, dawlings but I think we all made out well," Rarity says approaching her friends dressed like Photo Finish. “Rawity!” Twilight says excitedly as she approaches them with her parents. "Sowwy I took so long, kinda got weally into it," She says as her mother starts talking with Twilight and Rainbow Dash's mothers. — “Hello dear, how have you both been tonight?” Dashing Blue asks Rarity’s parents. "I've been curious on how little Rarity was doing since Hearts Warming Eve last year, but I guess she is really doing well," Twilight Velvet says seeing their daughters talking with each other while their fathers joke with each other. “They’ve been pretty well,” Rare Diamond, Rarity’s mother replies. “Rarity’s been a little fashion designer lately! She actually made most of her costume, with little assistance from me actually.” "She'll have a pretty good job someday soon, that little filly’s a natural," Twilight Velvet says with a smile and hears their husbands start laughing over a joke that was just told. "Stallions will be stallions.” “They definitely will be, Ah’ll tell ya that,” Apple Seed, Applejack’s mother, says as she rolls her eyes. "Good to see you again Apple Seed,” Dashing Blue says giving the farm pony a tight hug. "You look great, trying that new diet?” “Eeyup! Ah’ve lost a few, so has the hubby! It’s amazin’ how two months can change ya life!” "Well I heard that it really worked and decided to try it myself and was really happy with the results, but I think I'll be gaining them back since Twilight shares her candy with her father and me.” “Ah shucks! It’s Nightmare Night, Velvet. It only comes once a’ year!” "I know, and that's why I won't mind the couple extra pounds again. Besides, if tonight makes the fillies happy then I can deal with it," She replies with a smile and looks around. "Well there are four of us, now where are the other two?” “I think we’ll probably catch up with the others throughout the night,” Dashing shrugs. "Yeah, guess you're right," Rare Diamond says with a smile then clears her throat. “Come on girls, you still have some houses to hit before the night's over.” “Coming Mommy!” Rarity says as the fillies join in a group with their parents behind them. “Twilight, how’s your brotha doing?” Dash asks her. "Shining Armor's doing good, went to see a movie with his fwiends and Cadance.” “Doesn’t he have a cwush on her or somethin’?” Applejack asks Twilight, remembering when Twilight talked to them about him liking Cadance. "Yes but he says they're just fwiends," Twilight says as Rarity steps beside her with Applejack at her left. “Just friends sugacube?” "That's what he says... Cadance is a nice mare and foal sitter though.” “She’s your foal sitter isn’t she?” Dash asks her, hovering above the group. "Yes she is," Twilight says and blushes a little having the newest Princess of Equestria for her foalsitter. “You’re pwetty lucky to have her Twilight darling,” Rarity says with a grin. "Thank you Rawity. Applejack, how have you been?” "Good, ya' know just helpin' awond the fawm.” “How has the fawm been doing dawing?” Rarity asks. "Good... kinda' slow, and boawing.” “I see. Weally? I thought it would be busy with this being apple season or someting?” "Naw... big bwothew got that handled," Applejack replies with an innocent smile. Rarity nods to her and looks around at the other foals with their parents going about in the night. "So does anypony know whewe Fluttewshy is?" Twilight asks looking around for their shy friend. “Pwobabwy hiding or someting. She gets scared so easiwy!” Dash chuckles softly. “She’s maybe a twee or someting.” "Rainbow Dash! That's not vewy nice!" Rarity says shocked by Dash's comment. “What? She’s scared of everyting! I’m just sayin’!” "That still don't make it wight," Applejack says before their mothers come over to them. “Everything okay dear?” Appleseed asks her daughter as she catches up to them. "Rainbow Dash called Fluttewshy scawed!” “Tattletale!” Rainbow says smartly back at her. "Rainbow Dash! You don't call anypony scared, got it?" Her mother says lifting her daughter's chin so they were looking eye to eye. “Fine! But I’m just sayin’! She IS scared of evewyting!” "Even if she is Dash, you don't have to say such a thing aloud, understood?” “Alwight…” the dressed up filly says, apologizing. "That's better now when we do find her and her parents you're going to apologize, clear?" Her mother says before feeling a hoof tap her shoulder. “U-Um… hello…” a shy yellow filly with a pink mane says softly. "Fluttershy? It's so good to see you. Now Dashie... I believe you owe somepony an apology.” Dash groans as she looks at her mother. “Oh… alright…” The cyan filly groans and hovers down next to the yellow filly with a pink mane. “I’m sorry… I said you get scared so easiwy…” "I-It's ok," Fluttershy replies hiding behind her long pink mane. “Good, now can we continue now?” Dash says as she hovers again near her mother. "Yes we can, now you all go ahead and have fun.” “Yay…” Fluttershy cheers softly with a grin on her face. "Come on Fluttewshy... let's go and get mowe candy!" Dash says hugging her happily. “Um… okay.” she says softly and follows her friends, looking back at her mother. "Go ahead Fluttershy," Her mother says, her equally long pink mane covering one of her eyes and darker yellow fur. “You be fine Fwuttershy! Besides, we’re going back to Twilight’s home to eat our candy afterwards.” Rarity says to her shy and conservative friend. "I-If you say so..." She replies softly and follows her four friends closely. “So what are ya dressed up as Fwuttershy?” Applejack asks her. "A twee..." She replies softly and hides behind her wings. “A twee suga’ cube? Why dat?” "J-Just beca-because..." She replies with a tiny squeek. “Just askin’. It looks nice on you.” "Th-Thank you Applejack..." She replies with a smile and walks up beside her. “You’re welcome suga’ cube!” "Now what home awe we gonna go to?" Rarity asks looking at the still remaining homes that still had lights on. “What about dat one over there?” Twilight says, pointing out a house, like a gingerbread house. "Let's go!" Rainbow replies and hovers above the ground as she flies quickly to the house. “Is it just me of does she want to get da most candy tonight?” Rarity asks the others softly. "It's because... this," Twilight says holding her candy on her back, making sure not to lose a single piece. “'This what Twilight?'” Fluttershy asks her friend. "That I have mowe candy than she does.” “I see. And she wants to beat you at it?” Twilight simply nods to Fluttershy. “Ah just wonder how Pinkie will…” Applejack begins to say before hearing a holler from Dash as she retreats behind the group as a certain filly’s giggle reaches their ears. “I told you not to do that to me, Pinkie!” Dash protests her sudden appearance to her. "Sowwy Dashie!" Pinkie says hopping down from the house with a smile on her face. "You should've seen the look on your face!" “Hey Pinkie! How much candy did you get?” Twilight asks as the group approaches their friend. "This much!" She says pulling out two large pillow cases full of candy from her messy mane. “Two piwwow cases?! How'd ya get that much?!” Applejack asks, surprised to see she got at more candy than the both of them put together. She shrugs her shoulders. "I just got lucky.” “Then again, when arwen’t you wucky?” Rainbow comments on her large stash of candy. "Dunno," Pinkie replies with a smile and hugs them all happily. “But we’re good to have you wit us Pinkie… I-I mean, if that’s okay…” Fluttershy says in the midst of the hugging. "I missed you all so much! I was waiting for tonight!" Pinkie says giving each of the girls a soft nuzzle. “We did too suga’ cube!” Applejack replies with a soft nuzzle. "So what's the pwan now Pinkie?" Rarity asks with a smile. “I dunno,” She shrugs. “You have any ideas Twilight?” "I don-don't know... wanna go to my home and eat candy?” “Sure thing! Whooo! Candy party!” Pinkie jumps with excitement "Come on girls..." Twilight Velvet says lifting her daughter up into the air and then sets her on her back. "Let get you girls to our home so you can dig in.” “Awesome! Let’s go girls!” Twilight says to them as her friends and their parents start to follow her mom and dad back towards their home. — "Oh... I think I ate too much..." Rarity says with a low groan and holds her stomach. “I-I think I have too…” Pinkie groans and holds her belly with her hooves, having chocolate around her lips. "Do-Does... anypony else th-think that th-this was a bad idea?" Rainbow Dash asks holding her belly and nearly pukes. “M-Maybe D-Dashie…” Twilight says softly, moaning. "N-No more c-candy... ever…" "Ne-Neva eva," Fluttershy replies with a small groan as her belly rumbles. “Too m-many sweets…” Applejack groans as Twilight’s parents enter the living room, seeing the fillies laying on the ground, groaning. "Looks like our little ones have had to many sweets," Twilight Velvet says with a soft grin. “I-I like sweets, b-but that was… ugh… too much for me…” Pinkie groans, holding her tummy with her hooves. "Looks like these six over did tonight," Flutterhsy's mother replies. “I think so too,” Dashing Blue says, looking at her daughter. “I told you not to eat all your candy tonight Dashie, to avoid a tummy ache.” "But it was so good..." Rainbow Dash replies softly and holds a hoof over her muzzle to keep from puking again. Night Light comes trotting into the room and stands next to his wife. “I take it our little ones had too many sweets tonight, hmm?” "Yes they did," Twilight Velvet says as she shakes her head slowly from side to side with a soft grin. “M-Mommy… I-I’m gonna throw up…” Dash groans, her mother noticing her cheeks turning green. "Get me a trash can!" Dashing Blue says quickly picking up her daughter and rushes over to a glowing trash can. Twilight Velvet levitates a trash can towards Dashing Blue as Rainbow Dash leans into to and vomits into it. “Just in time…” she says to her husband, turning away as the filly throws up her now not so sweet treats. "That would've been one stain to clean up huh?" Applejack's mother says as she walks into the room and gently lifts her daughter up. "I guess going home is out of the question. Can they stay the night?” “Sure thing Appleseed. We’ll have the trash can on stand by for them.” "Thank you, do you have a couple of spare rooms?” Night Light shakes his head. “Unfortunately we don’t but we have some spare pillows and blankets. I figured we’d let them sleep on the couches and we’d sleep on a spare air mattress or two.” "That'll work, thank you for letting us stay," Appleseed says with a smile and walks her daughter over to the larger bed. Applejack moans softly as her mother nuzzles her softly. “M-Mommy?” "I'm here sweetie," Appleseed says as her husband comes over and nuzzles her back in return. “R-Remind me… neva to eat candy for a long time…” Applejack groans softly. "We will," Her father says softly and smiles at her. “You learn a lesson tonight?” The goldenrod filly nods softly as she is lifted by Twilight’s mother and is gently carried towards the couch. "Hope you six learned a lesson," Twilight Velvet says with a smile and gently lifts the others into the air. “I-I did mommy…” Twilight says softly to her mother as she is laid next to her friends on the couch gently before her father puts several pillows for them to rest their heads on before getting a large blanket to cover them. "Just sleep it off and you'll be fine," Fluttershy's father says softly remembering when he was young. “Um, I-I will try to… daddy…” Fluttershy says softly before her parents kiss her forehead gently. "You'll be fine, trust us," Pinkie's parents say with a smile before kissing Pinkie's forehead softly. “I-I’ll twy to mommy and daddy,” she grins softly at them. “Ugh… I-I’m never eating c-candy AGAIN!” Dash says with a pout on her face, as her parents nuzzle her. "You'll be ok Dashie, promise,” her father says softly as her mother wishes her sweet dream. “Mom… don’t say sweet… for a while at least, okay?” "Ok... happy dreams Dashie.” The cyan filly groans and rolls her eyes and rests her head on the pillow as the other parents kiss their foals good night and join together in the middle of the room on a large air mattress. "So what shall we talk about while they're asleep?” Appleseed asks them softly as their foals rest near them. “I think we should rest. We’ve all had a busy and tiring night, I’m sure,” Twilight Velvet suggests to the parents. "I guess you're right... I guess we really should hit the hay," Fluttershy's mother says softly as she cuddles up with her husband. “I second that motion,” Rainbow Blitz says, nuzzling his wife and rests with her. "Fair enough," Appleseed says as she yawns and covers her muzzle with a hoof as she yawns. Twilight Velvet yawns with her. “Oh my, I’m tired also…” "I'm gonna stay up a little longer. I’ll watch over them for a bit" Rainbow Dash's father says and walks over to the bookcase. "Mind if I read something from here?” “Sure, help yourself,” Night Light nods to him with a grin and lays next to his wife. "Thanks," He says and pulls out a Daring Do book from the shelf. “Yer into that?” Appleseed asks curiously. "What can I say? Dashie's into the series.” “Ah’m not makin’ fun of ya, Ah’m just a bit curious is all.” "These stories are very well written and awesome. I read a chapter or two of the first book, then I was hooked” “Nice. Enjoy it. Ah’m hittin’ the hay. Night y’all.” Appleseed yawns loudly and lays her head on a pillow. "Night," Fluttershy's father says with a smile and cuddles up beside his wife. The parents wish each other a good night as they slowly fall asleep except for Rainbow Blitz, who decided to watch over the fillies for a little longer by reading a great adventure with Daring Do to make the night fly by.
