(Nightmare Night Short.)
It was not a cold night, nor was it a warm one. I sat down on my recliner with my normal mug of coffee and a small stack of books at my side. I had decided it would be a good night for some light reading. Twilight had decided light reading was the entire Daring Doo series, thus I had a stack of books that came up to my hip while I was standing.
‘Ding DONG!’ I let out a sigh as I placed a small bookmark between the second and third page before moving over to the front door.
“Nightmare night, what a fright, give us something sweet to bite!”
I looked down at three little fillies I have come to know as the Crusaders, each one of them was wearing something different. Apple Bloom appeared to be a Pear, Sweetie Belle looked like a the most adorable vampire I’d ever seen and Scootaloo appeared to be a werewolf, but it was hard to tell though the adorableness that made up the three…
I was caught unawares and had a mini stroke from the concentrated adorableness these three fillies produced. “Hnnngg.” I placed my hand on my chest and took a breath as I raised a finger into the air before them. “ One moment,” I said while shutting the door.
I quickly looked around the kitchen, finding only wheat germ. Wheat germ a candy does not make, I thought to myself.
Once again I opened the door holding a small bowl. “Alright, here you all go.” I reached into the bowl and pulled out three large handful multi-colored objects from within and dropped a handful into each of their sacks. “You girls have fun, alright,” I stated, shutting the door.
“Hey, wait! This isn't candy!” Sweetie Belle called out.
“We got tricked!” said Scootaloo
A small gasp was heard and the last of the three fillies said. “No girls! It's even better!” Her two friends look at Apple Bloom as she lifts out a small pile of gemstones from her sack. “It's gemstones! We can buy our own candy!”
“YAY CANDY!”
I just picture the peanuts and quote "i got a rock ".
6616770 LMAO! I honestly never thought of that... But yeah thats kinda what happened
Wait finger? And gemstones don't have big value there I think in how they are practically common
6616775 And yet the CMC can by industreal hair dryers....
Heh, I can see how this could go terribly wrong. Especially if he gives all the foals gemstones.
Getting gems for Halloween. Even better then that one house that hands out king sized candy bars.
Actually many years ago we gave out money(quarters) on haloween. There was another year we gave out beanie babies. We didn't get any complaints.
6616778 Ah yes, I completly forgot about this
6616958 Not to worry; It was a Spike episode after all...
6616941 That sounds prett cool.
6616860 Yeah, I could see something happening because of it lol, I have no idea what but yeah... I'm thinking cmc piggies
And then parents will be coming to ask him why he gave their foals the ability to buy all the candy from Ponyville all the way to Manehatten. ...Except Diamond Tiara and SIlver Spoon if this takes place before Crusaders of the Lost Mark. They'd get actual rocks, but the could already buy that much candy anyway.
ALso, Pinkie Pie would eat the gems more than likely since her family are known rock eaters.
I haven't read it yet, but I need to point this out.
One of the most important things a story should do is make a good first impression in order to draw in potential readers. This is mainly done through the description for the story. When I read the description for this story, I was immediately worried about what the writing quality would be like in the actual story. To be blunt, this is one of the most awkwardly worded descriptions I've seen in a long time, and it has several spelling and grammar errors.
When I see such awkward writing in something as small as the description, then I have to ask myself if the writing in the story is going to be any better. Most of the time in cases like this, it isn't any better.
6617055 I'll take a look at it... It mite be do for an update anyway... Also, I totally never clamed to be good at writing XD...
6617055 Fixed, thanks again for pointing out the crappy story description lol!
Now this is funny, I hope there is more coming soon
6616770 Maud would have been happy, if she had been the one trick or treating XD
6617555 DOH!
Yeah, I seem to do that a lot apparently. I've been told-- I just can't seem to see it a lot of the time when I look for them I'm looking into Run-ons right now and I'll see later if I can perhaps try to find and fix some of them if I can.
My writing skills need a lot of work, I've always had problems with them and I took years and years worth of English classes.
Not terribly surprised he gave out gems seeing as how he's all but tripping over them, littering the house like dust bunnies.
And would the CMC be above the Halloween cheat of changing costumes to hit "the good houses" more than once? While I never did that, I do know of some unscrupulous types that did.
forgot to ask but will you make a second part where spike keeps coming back in different costumes to get more gemstones?
6616941
Hell yeah! This Beard would go to your place in different costumes multiple times a night just to get them beanie babies!
6616981
Oink oink Also, I see a lot of angry parents.
My heart was wrenching just reading those last few sentences.
6641246 hehe, yeah I try my best
6656191 Definitely passed for sure.
mmm
Man i don;t know what you normally do, but this series is great. Hope to see more when they come.
6664191 hehe yeah, I'm horrible at spelling. I always have been. And also just about everything else that goes with writing in fact. But I do like a good story, and I make some good concepts for stories. Just very bad at writing them out properly...
6664243 Well... I'm more of a creative thinker... It's about all I'm good for lol... I do love my stories, though, and I really enjoy writing them I'm just not the greatest at it.
Thanks for the comments, at the moment I'm working on my next chapter to this. It's being edited but its taking a while, I'm not extremely good at it and its getting the time of year when people get busy...
Hmmm... clever boy he is, nice!
lol, I love how he just casually gives away gems
