//------------------------------// // Welcome to Nightmare Night // Story: Permanent Vacation // by Apple_Crack //------------------------------// “Permanent Vacation” Welcome to Nightmare Night         Well, this is perfect. I had it all planned out for who I would be cosplaying as when fate decides to throw me a curveball. Right now, I’m frantically digging through boxes, looking for the only two pieces of his costume that I’m missing.         “Come on! It has to be here somewhere!”         “Have you tried looking in the box with your old Halloween costumes?”         I roll my eyes. “No, I didn’t think of that. Let me go check.”         “Well, there’s your problem. You just—”         “Of course I checked that box you idiot! It has everything from my old costumes, but not what I’m looking for!”         “Even your old Mario outfit with that water spraying backpack thing?! I love that one! Especially that cardboard cutout Yoshi you wore with it! We were the talk of the school that day! ”         “Does it look like I care about that? I probably don’t even fit into the clothes anymore. But yes, that was one of the best days of my life.”         “Wait. Is that what you’re looking for?!” I shift around some of the junk covering the items I’m, hopefully, looking for. I smile at the items before me. Reaching into the box, I pull them out. “Yes! I knew I still had them. Why are they with my Saint Patrick’s Day stuff? Ah, who cares! My outfit is now complete!” “Aren’t you forgetting something?” I think for a second as I head into the bathroom to look at myself. “Nope, can’t think of anything wrong with my outfit.” “Not the outfit you twit! It’s Nightmare Night and kids are expecting something sweet and sugary!” I gasp. “How could I forget the candy? You think they’ll notice if I use six month old candy?” “Dude, its kids… and Pinkie we’re talking about here. Pretty sure they don’t care how old it is, just as long as it’s sweet and sugary.” “Voice, what would I do without you?” “Crawl into a corner, curl into a ball, die alone.” I finish looking myself over in the mirror. Looks like I did it again with pulling off his look. “I’m gonna let that sentence slide. Let’s get that bowl of candy ready, put up some decorations, and do a quick refresher before going out tonight.” I go into the kitchen and grab one of those bowls with the motion activated zombie hand sticking out of the center. After filling it up and taping a note to the front, I head into the living room and plop down on the couch. Turning on the Xbox, I lean back as the home screen loads. “Tonight is going to be so epic!” “You said it buddy.”         In the span of twenty-four hours, the town has gone all out for Nightmare Night. Even Twilight got into the spirit of things with skeletons and ghosts hanging from the library branches. She even has a light fog hanging around the tree. I stroll down the street, casually twirling my cane and taking in the décor.         “Happy Nightmare Night, Blake!”         I glance to the right to see Pinkie, dressed in a chicken outfit (God damn, why is she wearing that bib?! Please tell me I’m not going to see three other ponies dressed up as… Them.), and a group of kids right behind her running towards me. “Pinkie, how’d you know it was me? And happy Nightmare Night, as well.”         “Well, duh! You’re the only one in town that doesn’t have a tail!”         “In hindsight, I probably should have known that. Anyway, nice outfit.”         “Thanks! I like your outfit too! Oh, hang on a second.” She turns to the kids. “Alrighty! Like we rehearsed!”         They all take a deep breath. “Nightmare Night, what a fright, give us something sweet tonight!” All the kids say in perfect unison.         “Nice teamwork, but I don’t have any candy on me. But,” I point with my cane towards my home, “I have a bowl outside filled to the brim with candy. Everybody gets one piece. But only if you answer my—”         “You heard the man! Free candy!” Pinkie and the kids charge towards my house.         “—Riddle.” I stand there and watch. Pinkie gets there before anyone else and reaches her hand out to grab a piece. She jumps back in fright as the hand reaches down and touches her hand. I can’t help laughing at her.         “Dude, she is one messed up girl. I like her!”         “What are you talking about? I’ve seen plenty of people get scared by those things.”         “Not that! Look between her legs.”         “I thought I told you I didn’t need help with that sort of thing… yet! Or never for that matter!”         “She laid a frecking egg, you idiot!”         “Seriously?!” I look and can’t believe that the voice is right. Right on the ground between Pinkie’s legs is an egg. How in the world does that even work?! Where did it come from?! Why am I caring?!         “Happy Nightmare Night, Blake!”         I turn to the voice to see Twilight, wearing a Starswirl the Bearded costume, and Spike in a smaller version of the Royal Guard armor. “Happy Nightmare Night, Twilight and Spike. Nice Starswirl outfit.”         “Thanks! Glad to see somepony recognizes my outfit.”         “Well, he’s only the father of the amniomorphic spell.”         “Ah, so I see you’ve been reading those books I lent you.”         I shrug my shoulders. “Well, if I’m gonna be here a while, might as well learn about the history of the land.”         “So, who are you supposed to be?” Spike asks.         I pace back and forth in front of them. “Ah, I shall answer your question with a question. Get it right, and I shall tell you my name. Riddle me this! I am an instrument who music comes from the heart. What am I?”         Twilight thinks a second before answering. “An organ.”         “Oh, very good, very good indeed, Twilight Sparkle. But don’t let it go to your head, for that is only a taste of what is to come. Today, no one will be able to match the intellect of the Riddler!”         “So, you’re the Riddler? Who’s that?”         “He’s only a villain from the universe of Batman, and one of my favorite comic book characters.”         “He’s a villain?” Spike asks.         “Yeah, but he always leaves clues behind that foil his master plan.”         “Why would he do that? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of him not revealing his master plan?”         “He wants to prove to everyone that he is the smartest person alive, a challenge that Batman always beats him at. If Batman can’t figure out the clues, then the Riddler wins because he proved that he can outsmart the Batman.”         “Blake! Blake!” We all turn to see the Cutie Mark Crusaders running towards us. Apple Bloom is dressed as a werewolf, Sweetie Belle is dressed as a vampire, and Scootaloo is dressed as a skeleton.         “Happy Nightmare Night!” Twilight, Spike, and I say.         “Happy Nightmare Night!” They say back.         “So, you three are looking for me? If it’s about candy, it’s over at my place.”         “Uh, Twilight, Spike? Ya mind if we talk ta Blake? In private?”         Twilight laughs. “Sure thing, girls. I’ll see you later, alright, Blake?”         “Sure thing, Twi. You two have fun now!” I wave to them as they walk off.         “So,” I turn back to the Crusaders, “What do you three want? A chaperone for tonight?”         Scootaloo smirks. “Nah, we only found something awesome! Well, not as awesome as Rainbow Dash.”         “Yeah! We found—”         Apple Bloom places her hand over Sweetie’s mouth. “What Sweetie means ta say is that ya need to see it for yerself.” All three girls nod their head.         “Well then, take me to whatever you found.”         The girls lead me to the edge of the Everfree. “Apple Bloom, have you not learned your lesson about going into the Everfree on your own?”         “Yeah, but if ya heard what we heard, you’d be curious too.”         “Besides, it’s not that far in.” Scootaloo waves a hand at me as they walk in. Might as well follow them and find out what this little surprise is. “So, should I be worried about what I’m going to see?” “No, she’s really nice once you get to know her,” Sweetie says. “Wait, she?” “We’re here.” Scootaloo says before nodding to the rest of the Crusaders. Before I can react, the Crusaders burst into a clearing. Sweetie did say she, right? “Princess, we’re back!” I hear the Crusaders shout. “Princess?! Princess?! Stepping into the clearing, I immediately notice Princess Luna, looking far less formal than her sister in a black hoodie and dark blue jeans, in the center of the clearing. Off to the side sits a moon themed chariot with two bat pony guards in dark blue armor in front of it. They are watching me and slowly reaching for spears on their backs. “Is it me, or is it weird that they still pull chariots?” “Don’t care. Princess of the night in front of us!” “Princess, we brought Blake, just like you asked!” Scootaloo says. “You have done well, little fillies.” Oh God, is that voice heavenly. Luna turns her attention to me. “Quick, think fast!” Taking off my hat, I get down on one knee. “Princess, it is an honor to meet you.” “The honor is all mine, Blake of Earth. Arise, so that we may speak face to face.” Standing up, I notice that Luna is shorter than her sister, to the point that I don’t have to crane my neck to look at her face. “Forgive me for asking, but you seem far less formal than your sister. Also, you’ve been gone a thousand years. No offense, but shouldn’t you be speaking in anarchic Equish?” “One of the first things thy sister taught me upon my return was how to speak modern Equish, along with the changes in customs. As for being informal tonight, tis all on the suggestion of my sister. She wished for me to come out tonight and make some friends, seeking out the ones called Blake and Twilight Sparkle to start. She also suggested that we… I mean, I dress down to make myself more approachable.” “Speaking of which,” I turn to the Crusaders, “How did you three find her?” “Well, we heard singing and decided ta investigate.” I glance at Luna. “Singing?” “An old lullaby that our sister sang to us during our younger years to calm us down.” Ah, yes. Princess Luna being nervous about how ponies will react upon seeing her. I believe I may be able to cure that tonight. “And then we started talking and she told us stories from her past!” “Yeah, Princess Luna is really cool once you get to know her!” “She asked us ta find ya and bring ya here.” “Okay, so that explains how you found her,” I turn to Luna, “But why did Celestia want you to seek me out?” Luna shrugs her shoulders. I’m liking her more and more. “I do not know.” “Maybe it’s because you’re both strangers in a foreign land!” Sweetie says. “She can be a klutz, but she can also be the smartest one of those three.” “Actually, that’s probably why. But why aren’t you in town enjoying the festivities?” Luna looks at the ground and wrings her hands together. “I’m afraid of what ponies will think of me. Will they still see me as Nightmare Moon? Will I make friends?” I put my hand on Luna’s shoulder, having to reach up just to do so. “Luna, you already have four friends in us.” Luna looks at me. “Really?” “CUTIE MARK CRUSADER ROYAL FRIENDS!” The Crusaders yell, causing everyone else to cover their ears from the volume. Making sure the Crusaders are done, I continue. “As for the afraid of you part, ponies will probably still be afraid of you, even though you have been reformed.” Luna sighs and looks at the moon. “I was afraid of that.” “But we can change that. Tonight is Nightmare Night, the one night a year where it is fun to be scary, to a limit, and scared. We’re gonna show the town that you’re funny scary with an epic prank,” I walk away from Luna and turn around to face everybody. Everyone is watching me, “All of us.” “Even us?” Apple Bloom asks. “Even you three, and please turn the shout down to a whisper.” “Cutie Mark Crusader Pranksters!” They whisper-shout. “Are you sure this will work?” “If you don’t believe me, there is one person you can ask.” “Who?” The Crusaders and Luna ask. “You better hope this works or you’re gonna look like a complete idiot.” I take a deep breath.  “Telling a secret is the fastest way to lose a friends trust.” “For-Ever!” Pinkie, still dressed in her chicken outfit, yells as she pops out from behind Luna, causing everyone to jump at her presence. Fucking jump scares! Hell, I thought she would pop out from behind me! “Where did she come from?” Luna asks. “Luna, the first thing I’ve learned, or am still trying to learn, is don’t question Pinkie Pie. Also, don’t you ever do that again dressed like that, Pinkie!” “Pinkie Pie? As in the Element of Laughter?” “Yeppers, that’s me! So,” Pinkie wraps an arm around Luna, “You wanna make some friends but are afraid of them being scared of you? Don’t worry, you friend Pinkie Pie has got you covered. Nightmare Night is when it’s fun to be scared by others! Last year, I made the best haunted house in the basement of Sugercube Corner and ponies loved it!” “Why does that statement scare me?” “How did you know all that?” Luna asks. “Silly, I’m reading the text above us!” We all look up but I can’t see anything. “Oh shit! Can she see me?!” “Dude, you’re a voice in my head. I don’t think she—” “Hey, watch your language, mister! There are fillies present!” “I stand corrected.” “I’m sorry! It won’t happen again!” “That’s okay! I know they can’t see you. Oh, what’s that I see about a prank?!” “Pinkie… How… You know what, nevermind. I’m thinking that if we pull a scary prank on the town, people will come to see Luna as funny and friendly.” “A prank on the town? Count me in!” Scootaloo’s wings buzz in excitement. “Count me in too!” Apple Bloom says with a smile. Sweetie looks confused. “Uh, me three!” She says while bouncing in place. “You know I can’t resist a prank! Let Ponyville tremble before our pranking!” Pinkie says before reaching into her suit and pulling out some candy, which she devours in seconds. “I don’t know… Are you sure ponies will find it funny?” Luna keeps glancing from the ground to our faces. “Luna, did Celestia tell you about what I know?” “Yes, but what… Oh.” “Exactly. Just trust me on this.” “Very well. Let the pranking be quadrupled!” “Alright! Everybody, huddle up and we’ll discuss our plan!” “Can I tell the plan? Pretty please with a cherry and extra sprinkles and chocolate sauce on top?” Pinkie asks once our little prank circle is formed. I roll my eyes. “Pinkie, you’re welcome to guess.” “Okay! So here’s the plan,” She leans forward and everybody else does the same, “Whisper, whisper, whisper.” We all stare at Pinkie. “Pinkie, what was that? All ya said was whisper three times,” Apple Bloom says. “Weird. Usually when I do that, everypony knows the plan and the scene changes.” “Okay… Now that whatever that was is taken care of, let me tell you the plan I have.”         “Hey! There’s those transition things! How come they didn’t work for me?!”         “Pinkie! I’m trying to tell the plan here so pay attention!”         “Oops, sorry.”         We all agreed on the plan and rehearsed our lines multiple times before heading back into town. I head towards city hall, expecting for that to be the most likely place to find Twilight. Currently, it is the spot where the largest gathering of ponies can be found. In front of town hall, a large stage, currently home to Vinyl and her turntable, and dance floor have been set up. I look out over the crowd of ponies dancing and find Twilight sitting on a bench off to the side. Walking over, I sit down beside her and lean back into the bench.         “So, enjoying your first Nightmare Night in Ponyville?”         Twilight looks at me. “As a matter of fact, yes. How about you?”         I shrug my shoulders. “It could be a little more exciting but yes, I am enjoying myself.”         I notice Pinkie waving to me over by some bushes. I nod and tap my cane of the ground twice. At this, Luna flies in, without her royal chariot, and lands in front of the dance floor.         “Princess Luna!” Twilight jumps off the bench as ponies finally take notice of Luna and bow, some even shaking in fear.         Luna turns around. “Twilight Sparkle, I presume?”         “Yes! It is such—”         Luna turns back to the crowd. I glance around and see the other Elements arriving. “Citizens of Ponyville! I regret to inform you that tonight’s festivities must be cancelled!”         “Cancelled?!” Twilight yells. Some ponies seem confused, shouting out variations of why.         “Twilight Sparkle, please listen to me!” Luna begs. “Please get these ponies inside and prepare the Elements. I do not know how much time we—” Some clouds previously blocking the moon part. “Oh no, we are too late! Quick, Twilight, before she comes again!”         “Princess, who is coming again?!”         Luna doesn’t get to answer as a black beam shoots out from the moon and engulfs her. We all back away as Luna screams in pain. I look around for Spike. “Spike, if you can hear me, get a letter to Celestia, now!”         “Right away!”         “Uh, Blake, you may want to see this!” Twilight yells.         I turn around to see that everything about Luna has changed. Her clothes have been replaced with dark blue armor with spikes that covers every inch of her body except for the head. On the chestpiece, a full moon with the Mare in the Moon symbol is plastered directly in the center. As an added touch, a dark blue glow runs throughout the armor.         “Nightmare Moon! Twilight yells, causing Fluttershy to epp.         Nightmare Moon laughs manically with the accompaniment of thunder and lighting. “The night shall last forever!”         “But how?! The Elements of Harmony defeated you!” Twilight yells. By now, the girls have lined up beside Twilight, all except for Pinkie.         Nightmare Moon looks at us. “Ah, the Elements of Harmony. Did you really think you could get rid of me so easily?”         “Uh, yeah?” Rainbow Dash replies.         “You fools! You only destroyed part of me! I left a little piece of myself on the moon, waiting for the perfect chance to strike again!”         “You won’t get away with this, Nightmare Moon! The Elements of Harmony defeated you once and they can do it again!”         The Crusaders jump out from behind some bushes. “Twilight! Twilight! Did ya see the—”         “Well now, what do we have here? Some volunteers to join my army?” Nightmare Moon cuts off Apple Bloom.         Nightmare Moon shoots a black beam out of her horn, straight towards the Crusaders. I’m already on an intercept course with the beam, Pinkie doing the exact same thing. Pinkie and I stand in front of the beam and grasp hands. We scream in pain and writhe in agony as the beam hits us.         Actually, I feel no pain since this is part of the plan. As Luna’s illusion spell takes effect, I feel a slight chill pass through my body.         “Blake! Pinkie!” I hear the Crusaders shout before white hands wrap around my waist. The Crusaders join us in screaming in ‘pain’.         There is a loud popping sound, which is our cue to cut the pain act and slip into our minion act. For each of us, I had Luna cast an illusion spell on our clothes that would make them appear differently to everyone. I’m wearing a black button down jacket and pants with razor sharp thorns sticking out of them and, for added effect, red glowing eyes, a green glow around the cuffs of my jacket, and pale white skin. I glance over at Pinkie. Instead of Pinkie, I see a black shadow of Pinkie with bright yellow eyes, razor sharp claws, two antennas that jut up from the top of her head and reach halfway down her back,   and fangs. I don’t need to look at the Crusaders to know they look the same as Pinkie.         We all look towards Nightmare Moon. I step forward and get down on one knee. “What is thy bidding, our master?” Nice touch Luna, making my voice much deeper.         “Oh, this is priceless! I only wanted three minions, and yet I get five! And one of them is an Element of Harmony! Can this night get any better?!” Nightmare Moon says in between her laughter.         “Even without Pinkie, we’ll still stop you and save our friends!” I can hear the fear in Twilight’s voice and see her eyes darting between the girls and us.         “Arise, my minion, arise,” I stand up, “Go and spread darkness so that the world will know that Nightmare Moon has returned!”         I turn around to face the crowd of ponies, most of them backing away. I crack my neck and knuckles. “With pleasure, my queen.”         “Let our friends go!” Rainbow shouts before flying towards Nightmare Moon. Thankfully, I planned for something like this to happen.         Shadow Sweetie’s horn glows dark blue and Rainbow Dash is stopped mid-flight. Shadow Sweetie shakes her head.  “You should know better than to attack our queen,” She says in a deep voice. Even though Sweetie’s horn is glowing, Nightmare Moon is the one actually stopping Rainbow Dash         “Hey! Let me go!” Rainbow Dash says as she struggles to break free of the magical grasp.         I walk over and trace a finger along Rainbow’s face. “You would have made a fine soldier under my command, but sadly, a crime like this cannot go unpunished. Now I need to make an example of you. But what method shall I use?”         Shadow Pinkie’s stomach growls. “Hunger…” she growls out, snapping her teeth at Rainbow Dash.         “Ah, it looks like my soldier is hungry. And we have the perfect specimen right here! How convenient! I do wonder what pony meat tastes like. Perhaps like chicken, or maybe even beaver?” I smile as Rainbow’s eyes go wide.         “Uh, somepony?! Anypony?! Help me out here!”         “Nobody is going to help you. Not after they’ve seen what will happen to those that cross the path of our queen.”         “Halt, my minion.”         I turn to Nightmare Moon. “Yes, my queen?”         “Let’s let her see the faces on her ‘friend’ one last time.”         I bow. “As you wish my queen.” I turn back to face Rainbow as the cold sensation fades from my head.         Everybody gasps. “Blake! You gotta fight it! Don’t let her do this! Please!” Rainbow shouts.         “I… I… I can’t! She’s just too powerful! Please, everybody, just run! It’s not safe anymore!” The cold sensation slowly returns to my head. “No. No! Please let me go! I don’t wanna go back, it’s so cold! Please!” The cold sensation fully returns.         “I think that was a fitting last gift, wouldn’t you agree, my soldier?” Nightmare Moon asks.         “As fitting as any, my queen. Now where were we? Ah, yes. Making an example of this pathetic specimen.” Rainbow gulps as I reach towards her.           A bright light in the sky above forces me to shield my eyes and step back, hissing in “pain”. The light floats down and lands beside Twilight. After a pop sound, the light disappears and Princess Celestia is standing there with an angry glare directed at Nightmare Moon. Her horn lights up and Rainbow Dash is teleported to her side. “That is quite enough out of you, Nightmare Moon.”         “Ah, Princess Celestia,” Nightmare Moon bows, “What an honor for you to meet me on my return. Tell me, have you come with the terms of your surrender?”         “I will never surrender to the likes of you! I’ll defeat your minions and release my sister from your grasp!”         “Princess, you can’t! Her minions are Pinkie, Blake, and the Crusaders!” Twilight shouts.         “Yes, you wouldn’t want to hurt her precious ‘friends’ now, would you?” Nightmare Moon laughs and us ‘minions’ laugh with her.         Celestia gasps. “How could you?! Why would you do this?!”         “Isn’t it obvious? When making demands, make sure you always have the upper hand. My minions would gladly give their lives in protection of me. Can the same be said of your ponies, Celestia?”         “Princess, what should we do?” Twilight asks.         Celestia looks torn, glancing between Twilight and us. She sighs. “I have no choice. In exchange for my subjects’ safety, I will meet your demands.”         Everybody on Celestia’s side gasps. “Princess! But you can’t give in to her! She’s Nightmare Moon!”         “I see no other choice that doesn’t risk the safety of my subjects. What are your demands?” I notice several ponies glance at each other, probably fearing the worst.         Nightmare Moon throws back her head and shouts, “We demand all of the candy collected tonight in tribute of our power!”         “Excellent demand, my queen!” I say         “Laying it on a bit thick, don’t ya think?”         “Quiet, I’m in the zone.”         “I shall never give you eternal—” Celestia blinks a few times, “What did you demand?”         “I said that we demand all the candy collected tonight in tribute of our power! You try being stuck on the moon for a thousand years with nothing to satisfy your sweet tooth,” Nightmare Moon huffs.         Ponies are now glancing at each other in confusion. “Okay… your demand shall be met. Now release—”         “I am not finished! I also demand that we be called the best princess!”         “Best demand ever!”         Twilight blinks a few times. “Is this really happening, or did I stay up too late and am now dreaming this?” She asks.         Celestia smirks slightly. “Is that all of your demands, Nightmare Moon?”         “No, for we would also like to say…” we all line up beside Nightmare Moon, “Happy Nightmare Night!” we all shout.         “Wait… are y’all saying what ah think you’re saying?”         “Sorry for scaring ya, big sis.” Apple Bloom says.         I turn to Nightmare Moon. “Luna, would you mind removing the illusion spell so they can understand what just happened?” Luna nods as her horn lights up. I feel the cold sensation fade away as the crowd gasps at us.         “Hello, my subjects! Your princess would like to say that you just got pranked!” Luna shouts as us pranksters high five.         Twilight steps forward. “So… it was all a prank? Nightmare Moon hasn’t returned and we’re all safe?”         “Yuppers!” Pinkie says, bouncing in place as candy falls out of her suit.         “That was awesome! You really had me going there!” Rainbow flies over and high fives Scootaloo. “Best prank I’ve seen in ages!”         “Thanks, Rainbow Dash!”         Celestia claps her hands and laughs. The crowd slowly joins in until it becomes a roar of clapping and cheers. The five of us take a bow. Luna stands back up and shouts, “Happy Nightmare Night to all! Please enjoy the festivities in honor of this glorious night!” The crowd cheers and goes back to partying.          “Nice job, team! The plan went off without a hitch and the entire town doesn’t fear Luna anymore! See, Luna, I told you it would work!”         “And I must thank you, Blake. You have my eternal thanks.”         “Blake! Thanks for including us in the prank!” Apple Bloom says.         “Yeah! This is the best Nightmare Night in, like, forever!” Scootaloo says.         “So, would you mind telling us how this all started?” Twilight asks.         “Sure, Twilight, I’ll tell you everything as we party the night away!”         “Blake, are you forgetting something?” Luna asks.         “What? I don’t think so…”         “You’re forgetting the song!”         “Oh, right! Thanks for the reminder!”         I head to the stage and motion Vinyl over. She smirks upon seeing me and walks over. “Nice work with the prank!” We fist bump.         “Thanks! Hey, would you mind if I take the stage for a bit?”         “Sure! You got something in mind?”         I nod my head. “Yeah. Hey, is it true the magical energies of Equestria can provide music and make people know lyrics to songs they’ve never heard before?”         “Yeah. Since everything is affected by magic, the energies just draw the lyrics and music from your mind and disperse it to others.” Vinyl says as we walk to her turntable.         “Thank you for the simple explanation! I’m sure Twilight was going to give me the six hour explanation if I asked her about it.”         Vinyl laughs. “No problem!” She walks behind her table and tosses me a mike. She then turns the music down, causing most of the audience to turn to me.         “Alright, can everybody hear me?”         “YEAH!”         “Good! Luna, give me my costume back and the other thing we talked about!” I feel the chill return to my body, “Alright, I have a song here to celebrate this wondrous night! So who’s ready to party?!” The crowds cheers as Nightmare Night (Great song, really love this one) starts up. Right before the first verse, I slam my fist into the ground, creating a fountain of friendly ghosts that fly around the stage and in through the crowd as I sing.         After the song ends, I take a bow as the crowd cheers. We party the rest of the night away. This is, by far, the best Halloween… err, Nightmare Night ever!
