Brian was looking forward to dressing up for Halloween. His original costume idea was wrestler Finn Balor’s demon persona but being unsure on how to complete it, went with another wrestler, Kane. The attire was easy as all that was needed was a black tank top and black tights. Sewn onto one leg and on the top was a red flame design.

Designing the mask was a challenge as he had to make a mold of his face first to get the proper shape. The mask was dark red, almost blood red in color and covered most of the face leaving only the mouth exposed. He tried it on to make sure it felt comfortable and attached two straps one that wrapped around the back of his head, while the other ran from the top of his head and connected to the other. Once that was finished, he bought a black wig and attached it to the back of the mask to cover the straps. At school, he stopped by Discord’s classroom to ask for assistance.

“Discord, you got a moment? I’d like to ask for some help with a costume I made,” he asked

“Let me guess, you need me to cause some fire to erupt at a specific time? I’ll do it. I love this time of year anyways,” Discord answered

“Thank you. You’ll know when.”

“At the moment you start to drop your arms,” he said

Brian left and headed to see Flash to ask for his assistance during the party.

“I am a wrestling fan and yeah, I’ll play the music. Do you happen to have the notes to play it,” Flash said

Brian wrote the notes and thanked him and left to get ready for the Halloween party. He threw the costume in his duffel bag, but wore the combat boots along with his khaki pants and a simple white shirt. Once at school he ducked into a bathroom for privacy and changed.

“Hey, where’s Brian? I thought he’d be here,” Sunset asked

Without warning the lights in the gym suddenly turned off except for one light above Flash Sentry as he started playing Burned [4]. Under the cover of darkness Brian slipped in and walked up on the stage quietly. He rose his arms over his head and dropped them as Discord snapped his fingers creating two pillars of flames as the lights went back on. Everyone applauded thinking it was part of a show.

Brian joined the girls and was surprised by their costumes. Sunset was dressed as her demon form, Twilight as Midnight Sparkle. Rainbow Dash was a Shadow Bolt, Rarity was dressed as Selene from Underworld in a leather catsuit, complete with platform boots and trench coat. Fluttershy was a vampire which he thought was humorous as he remembered her counterpart turning into a vampire once a year.

Pinkie looked like she couldn't decide on costume ideas and dressed as Harley Quinn, with her right side being the original jester and the left being the Suicide Squad and carried both a baseball bat and hammer. Applejack and Applebloom were dressed as a Big and Little Sister from Bioshock. Octavia and Vinyl were dressed as a werewolf and vampire, respectively. Principal Celestia and her sister decided to dress up with Celestia as a witch, while Luna dressed up as a human Nightmare Moon with assistance from her pony counterpart.

“That was one hell of an entrance,” Rainbow Dash said slapping him on the back

“Well, I must thank Discord and Flash for their help,” Brian answered as Flash took a bow

“I thought you’d have done Finn Balor instead of Kane,” Sunset said

“Do you know how hard it is to create the costume,” he asked

“Ah. Well, I prefer John Cena,” Dash said

“That’s not a costume. Just shorts and a t-shirt,” he said causing her to stick her tongue out

“I wouldn't have thought you were a wrestling fan, Brian. Have you done anyone else,” Twilight asked

“On the other side I dressed as Sting. When a man’s heart is full of deceit it burns up, dies and a dark shadow falls over his soul,” he answered

“That was so cool. Thanks for letting me help with your entrance,” Flash said

“Thank you for playing,” Brian said

Brian looked around the room and saw three students who were also wrestling fans. Snips and Snails were dressed as the Road Warriors, Hawk and Animal while another student; who’s name he never knew, was dressed as ‘the Cleaner’ Kenny Omega, wearing a black ‘Bullet Club’ shirt, trench coat, glasses and a long curly haired wig.

Brian walked over to Snips and Snails and said, “Oh what a rush.”

“Can you chokeslam us? Please,” begged the two

Discord snapped his fingers and an inflatable bag was summoned. Celestia was surprised when Brian grabbed Snips around the throat and lifted him up and slammed him on the bag. Brian then stood on the bag and grabbed Snails around the waist before turning him upside down and dropping to his knees, tombstoning him.

“That was fun. Do it again,” Snips said

“Once is more than enough. Thank you, Discord for the inflatable bag,” Celestia said

Afterward Brian asked to borrow Flash’s guitar and started playing the Road Warrior's theme song much to Snips and Snails’ delight.

“Mr. Omega? To the young man dressed as the Cleaner, sing along if you know this,” Brian said playing ‘Shot ‘Em’ on guitar

“I caught a human and I shot ‘em with my gun. I shot a human and I think I’m on the run,” ‘Kenny Omega’ sang

Later, the group decided to bob for apples and visit the haunted house the school created.

“I vant to suck your blood,” Vinyl said causing Brian to chuckle

“Sorry. At home, before coming to Equestria and here, I’ve read a couple stories with you being a vampire,” he said

Vinyl didn’t say anything but opened her mouth to show her fangs before smirking.

“How's about we head to my house and watch some scary movies,” he asked the girls

“Oh, how’s about Underworld. I absolutely love Selene’s outfit,” Rarity said

“What about Dracula,” Fluttershy asked

“Both are good. Shall we,” he asked

The group walked over to his house and changed into outfits Pinkie pulled out while he threw on some sweats and a tank top. They agreed on having popcorn to eat and started a movie marathon where they all ended up falling asleep in the living room.
