“Uhh...Twilight? What’s that?” Spike asked. He’d noticed the beautiful, and large, transparent diamond levitating above the library's living room floor. His mouth starting to water, his eyes widening with anticipation.

“Don't you even think about it!” Twilight scolded Spike, quickly taking the precious gem in her magic and guiding it carefully away from the disappointed dragon.

“Spike, this isn't your everyday, ordinary diamond, the effects on you wouldn't be...” Twilight considered her next words carefully so she wouldn't scare her assistant too much. She settled on, “... pleasant.”

Spike raised a questioning eyebrow. “Okay...so what is it then?”

Twilight smiled mischievously. “Just a little something for the Nightmare Night tonight. A little surprise for Luna.” Twilight smirked. Spike responded with a gagging expression.

Usually when Twilight thinks of something special for Princess Luna...it I get stuck on cleanup duty. And no way I’ll let that happen today on my day-off!

“But this is still not finished just yet,” Twilight sighed in disappointment. “There are still a few side-effects I really can’t eliminate quite yet.”

“Well, that sucks, Twilight.” Spike said, his hands behind his back, slowly walking towards the stairs. He suspected where this was probably going, and there was no way he would allow Twilight to take away his free day! But before he could get far away enough to make up an excuse, Twilight's face brightened almost fast as Pinkie Pie's at the sight of treats. “But I finally have the right list of ingredients!” she beamed. “All I really have to do is to find the right ones. And that's-”

Oh no! Spike waived.

“That’s where you come in Spike!” Twilight pointed at him gleefully. He responded with desperation, which she seem to miss, either intentionally or not. “I need you to collect a few things for me while I get the rest.” Two surprisingly small lists appeared out of nowhere.

Okay. Maybe this ain't too bad... Spike thought as the scroll hovered over to him. His neutral expression soon changed to one of confusion when he read the list. “Twilight...? Why I need to get an apple from Sweet Apple Acres and then flower dust from a Nightshade?”

While he waited for her response, he continued read what else he needed to procure: Crow’s feather, bark of oak and some other small bits. “What are you exactly doing with these?” he pointed at his and Twilight's scroll.

Now he felt that he actually has to be worried.

“Relax Spike, it is nothing really complicated.” Twilight calmed her assistant. “I just need some magical dampeners for this gem, so the spell doesn't take its full effect.”

Spike eyed the diamond again, now inspecting at it carefully. “Uuuuh, full effect? Like what kind of effect?”

“Oh just a minors ones. Some small body changes,” Twilight’s wings moved a bit from the comment. “And it might also raise few… unwanted desires and cloud your better judgment.” Twilight explained. “Nothing that serious.”

He appeared tense, as if he expected it to either explode or leap at their faces.

“Spike,” Twilight sighed. “It is all right. The diamond won’t do anything as long as you don't wear, or in your case, eat it.” she reassured him.

“You don't have to worry about that anymore...” Spike replied with distaste. “I'm not touching that thing even if I could use same kind of levitate magic like you do.”

“Well, that's good to know,” Twilight happily said. “So, why don't we go and get the ingredients. We are going to have a long day ahead of us.” she got up and walked towards the door.

“A long day? Aaaaw no...” Spike groaned. “There goes my day-off...” he slowly followed Twilight, who by now now stood outside.

“Don't be like that Spike. When we are done, you’ll have earned two off-days. It is the least I can do.”

That immediately got the young dragons mood back to cheerful. “I think I like the idea,” Spike said as he closed the door.


Later...

“Twilight?” Rarity knocked.

No one answered.

“Spike?”

Still nothing.

“Spikey-wikey!”

Quiet.

Rarity then decided to test her luck and tried the doorknob with her magic. The door opened. “Anyone there? Hmm,” Rarity said, slightly surprised as she walked inside. “Guess she was in a hurry for something.”

She wandered inside the dark library, which she illuminated with her magic. I wonder what could have been so important that she forgot that she had promised to show me something that could improve my Nightmare Night costume? Or maybe she remembered it, but couldn't wait for me and left it somewhere here. Yes. That could be it- a small, blinking light suddenly came to her view. Rarity felt her eyes wide as she stepped forward to library's living rooms table. Wait, what is that?

On the table was laying simply beautiful and divine diamond. So perfectly smooth and so transparent. Rarity gasped, letting out an girly and excited giggle. “Oh Twilight, you didn't have to!” .

“Oh! This is just perfect! Just perfect! Exactly what I need!” she squealed, picking up the gem and bringing it close to her eyes. She marveled at its crystal-like clarity. “Oh such marvelous work Twilight.” she said. Marveling the stone. “I never knew you could do something like this.”

Rarity then pondered little. “Or did Spike or someone else carve this?” she then shook her head. “No matter. I need to get back and finish my costume. Nightmare Night is soon and I need to make my finishing touches!”

With that, Rarity left the library back to Boutique.



Still later...

Applejack trotted towards Carousel Boutique. Nightmare Night was getting closer and Rarity had said she had something new for her. “Dear Applejack,” she had said dismissively, jabbing Applejack’s chest with her hoof. “You simply cannot be serious of using that same costume of yours. It is so...three years ago.

Tell you what, I'll create a perfect costume for you. One that perfectly matches moi..” There had been something about Rarity's being and tone that made Applejack feel bit uncomfortable and made her cheeks infuse with heat.

After a long argument, she decided to accept Rarity's offer, which was why she was heading over to the Boutique now . Hopefully that costume ain't nothin’ too fancy. She trusted Rarity would know her well enough not to make things too complicated.

She soon reached the Boutique’s door, but noticed that all the lights were off. Okay. Guess she's gone someplace else. But Ah’ll check, just ta make sure. Her hoof knocked the door. No response.

“Aaaaaaapppleee....” a familiar, hungry voice purred behind Applejack, which caused her to leap and spin from fright. Adrenaline sprinted through her veins as she reared to defend herself.

“-jaaaaaacckkkk...” the menacing figure continued.

“Ra-Rarity...” Applejack stuttered at the unicorn, who was dressed in black, strategically-torn body-covering cloak. It looked like a royal robe from a bygone age..

The unicorn had too familiar looking pointy-ears and blood red eyes.And now that unicorn started flying! W-wait! Those wings! she gasped. “Rarity, what in tarnation happened to ya!?” she exclaimed, pointing at Rarity.

“Oh nothing, my dear...” Rarity liked her lips slowly. “Applejack. I'm really getting into the spirit of Nightmare Night.” Rarity's voice sultry purred. Applejack flushed from embarrassment. Rarity landed a little too close to Applejack for the latter’s liking, who quickly felt her behind backing up against Rarity's door.

“Twilight gave ya some kin' of spell, right?” Applejack asked, trying to keep her voice calm as possible.

“She might have...but let’s not talk about her. Tonight’s about you...and me...and right now I have a small, lady-like craving for some apples...and you’re just the mare for the job.”

Rarity licked her lips again.

“Ooookay...” Applejack said, her eyes and entire body trying to evade Rarity but with poor results. Rarity used her leverage to pin Applejack against the door.

“Why don't we go inside...” Rarity wiggled her eyebrows, her face now really close to Applejack’s. Without waiting for a response that wasn’t coming from a paralyzed Applejack, Rarity bared her fangs. A moment later, her horn glowed and the door gave way, causing the farmer to fall flat onto the floor. “Darn it all, Rari-” Applejack halted her complaint when she felt something small sting her flank. “WHAT THE HAY!” she jumped, only to drop back when a Rarity-weight force dropped on her.

Rarity deeply inhaled her Applejack’s scent, kissing her back. “Oh Applejack, you smell soooooooo delicious,” Rarity intoned dreamily. Applejack tried to move away, but Rarity only tightened her grip. When did she get so gosh-darn strong?

Rarity's horn still glowed and the door closed. She crawled forward, baring her glistening fangs once more. “Now Applejack, don't be...difficult. You’re only making it harder on yourself. You are way too stressed dear...” Rarity purred, her hooves working into Applejack's shoulders. “Let me help you... unwind.”

Applejack then let out a soft, pleasant cry as she felt Rarity prick her neck.




The Next Day...

Nightmare Night had turned into a total fiasco and it had taken a lot from both Luna and Spike to calm very stressed Twilight down. Twilight really had put lot of thought into the diamond she had created and what she had planned to do with it. But then, when she returned and only to find it gone, it was understandable that Twilight might have had a slightly violent reaction to the bad news.It was a testament to their combined diplomacy that Ponyville didn't explode, drowned in tears or both.



“So how’s Twilight feeling?” Spike asked as Luna descended the stairs from Twilight’s bedroom.

“She's calmed down, finally,” Luna said calmly. Small amusement danced across her lips. Spike let out a heavy, thankful sigh.

“That’s good to know. Now that that crisis is over, I think I'vae erned a long nap on the couch.” he said tiredly before plopping down on the sofa. Luna smiled, waited until the dragon had fallen asleep, then conjure a small dream spell on the dragon. “Now you can sleep more freely little baby dragon,” she said softly. A sudden knocking on the door interrupted her small monologue.

Another knock immediately followed. “Now who that could be?” Luna halted herself for a second, wondering if she should open the door. This wasn’t her home, after all. Both Spike and Twilight are resting, so I don't have any choice. she groaned. Just as long as nopony starts to bow and give praises.

She opened the door, and felt like giving out a relieved sigh at the sight of Applejack standing before her. “Good morning, Applejack, my friend,” Luna greeted with a respited smile. “May I ask what you need?”

Applejack stammered, unsure of what to say. Now that Luna looked at Applejack’s appearance, there was something about it that seemed...off. Her hat was tilted on her left side and her mane, tail, and coat were a complete mess. She also noticed that Applejack looked rather out of breath.“Whatever happened to you, dear Applejack?” Luna asked, confused.

“Well,” Applejack rubbed back of her head. “That's a long an' complicated story. But here,” Applejack dropped a bright, large diamond into Luna’s hooves.

Luna immediately recognized the gem. “Wait!” she snatched it in her magic. “This is the gem Twilight lost. How did you get your hooves on it?”

“Big as a barn misunderstandin’,” Applejack explained. “ Rarity thought that was the thing Twilight had for her. An' ya can guess the rest.”

Applejack quickly turned away from Luna, trotting away from the library quite fast. “But sorry, Ah must be goin' now.” It sounded to Luna like she was making an excuse. But just then, she quickly halted and turned back. “Oh, an' can ya ask Twilight to make few more of those gems for next Nightmare Night?”

If Luna found herself baffled by the request, what came on its heels was even more befuddling.

“Or maybe bit... sooner?” with that Applejack quickly ran away before Luna could fully react. But she already had other things on her mind.

“Did she had bite marks on her flank!?”
