3.
>Year 14 in Equestria.
-
4.
>Nightmare Night.
-
5.
>You and Lotus were sitting on the train to Ponyville for a night of fun with Anon and his family.
-
6.
>The cape underneath you got caught on the seat for the eight time.
-
7.
"Oh you piece of shit..."
-
8.
>Fuck it.
-
9.
>You grab the entirety of the cape and bunch it up into a ball on your lap.
-
10.
>At least it keeps it from catching.
-
11.
>Lotus gives you a stony grin as you sit back. "Was wearing that entirely necessary?"
-
12.
"Rarity worked hard on it for me, it'd be rude not to use it."
-
13.
>Lotus rolled her eyes under her dark hat. "It's going to get caught on something and you're going to get hurt."
-
14.
"Such a good general, watching out for those under her command."
-
15.
>"I'll have you know that Stalliongrad produced some of the greatest generals in Equestrian history, mister."
-
16.
>You reach over and stroke the nape of her neck with your armored hand.
-
17.
"You should keep this after tonight..."
-
18.
>A smile creeps over Lotus's face. "Getting ideas are we? You know that would not be proper for one of my station."
-
19.
>Heh.
-
20.
>You pick up the pace on your rubbing.
-
21.
"I'd say it would be permissible so long as it was one in my station."
-
22.
>Lotus chuckles. "That may be, but being late to meet my sister due to a quick..."intelligence exchange" would reflect poorly on me."
-
23.
>She had you there.
-
24.
>You remove your hand.
-
25.
"Party pooper."
-
26.
>A voice comes in over the loudspeaker above. "Next stop: Ponyville Station. Ponyville Station."
-
27.
"Welp. Better get set."
-
28.
>You grab your helmet on the seat in front of you and slip it on.
-
29.
"I'll try and get us some candy, kiss for luck?"
-
30.
>Lotus glanced up at you with a smirk. "Not with that face."
-
31.
- 32.
-
33.
>Ponyville was always a bustle with activity around Nightmare Night.
-
34.
>At least it was after Princess Luna stopped by that one time.
-
35.
>You and Lotus walked through Ponyville in search of your other half.
-
36.
>He was easy to spot, standing in the center of town in a bloody lab coat with one arm relocated from its socket and in his other hand.
-
37.
>Why does everyone go as zombies?
-
38.
>Anon must have heard your footsteps because he turned your way as you got closer.
-
39.
>He placed his hand over his face when he saw your costume.
-
40.
>You get to him and strike as imposing a stance as you can, with your fists on your hips.
-
41.
"It's okay to be jealous."
-
42.
>"You're mad."
-
43.
"I think the one who just had his costume outdone is the mad one."
-
44.
>"How much did that cost you?"
-
45.
"Enough."
-
46.
>More than.
-
47.
>You look around.
-
48.
"Where's your wife and my nephew?"
-
49.
>Anon looks up in the sky and spots a particularly dark cloud floating around.
-
50.
>"Hang on."
-
51.
>Anon walked up behind the cloud and threw his severed arm up at it, earning a "Ow!" out of it.
-
52.
>Rainbow Dash jumped out of the cloud and landed next to Anon. "What was that for?"
-
53.
>"Isn't pranking townsfolk a little juvenile for people our age?"
-
54.
>Rainbow silently points a hoof to you.
-
55.
"Don't drag my ass into this."
-
56.
>Rainbow trots up to you and Lotus. "Nice to see you two too."
-
57.
>You look over her Wonderbolts suit.
-
58.
"Rainbow, wearing your work clothes doesn't count as a costume."
-
59.
>You should know. You've done it.
-
60.
>"I had no time to get a real costume together with shows and Thunder." She moans.
-
61.
>"Where is Thunderstrike anyway?" Lotus asked.
-
62.
>Anon joined you all again. "Out with his friends, you know how teenagers are."
-
63.
>Yup.
-
64.
>Annoying.
-
65.
-
66.
>You were sitting at the old cafe with Lotus and Aloe as the sisters chatted and caught up.
-
67.
>Your contribution to the conversation was negligible.
-
68.
>"So he just left you?" Lotus asked.
-
69.
>"Yup. Said he needed to "work some things out.". Last I saw, him and Soarin' were rather "close"." Aloe chided.
-
70.
>Ouch.
-
71.
>Lotus placed a hoof on her sisters shoulder. "Oh Aley, I'm so sorry..."
-
72.
>Aloe's face is low for just a split second before her trademark optimism shines through.
-
73.
>Aloe removes her sisters hoof and waves her own dismissively. "C'est la vie. I can't expect somep0ny to be with me when I'm not what they're looking for."
-
74.
"I had an inkling..."
-
75.
>Aloe and Lotus stare at you.
-
76.
"What? Have you seen him? The hair, the way he always followed Mac around?"
-
77.
>The twins look at each other and then back to you, the their faces wearing the same identical incredulous look.
-
78.
"Oh whatever."
-
79.
>You let Lotus comfort her sister some more and got to your feet.
-
80.
>"Sweetheart, where are you going?" Lotus called behind you.
-
81.
"Gonna walk around a bit, see some old friends. Meet back in the square when Luna shows up?"
-
82.
-
83.
>Ponyville had changed little in the past years.
-
84.
>You still missed it.
-
85.
>Canterlot was nice and having your own place with Lotus had its advantages, but you kinda missed knowing everyone in town.
-
86.
>You had missed Applebloom and her friends getting their marks.
-
87.
>Missed the Mayor keeping her office.
-
88.
>You apparently missed Speedy settling down with one of the nurses at the hospital.
-
89.
>But there was one thing you wouldn't miss for the world.
-
90.
>You glanced up at the clock tower as you walked down the road.
-
91.
>Two minutes till...perfect.
-
92.
>You had planned this out around when you had planned out your own costume.
-
93.
>Instructions and parts sent through the mail, good thing she had the job she did.
-
94.
>All leading towards this night.
-
95.
>Screams and crashes came from the house down the road as the clock struck 9:00.
-
96.
>Bursting out of house number 404 came a rather distressed brown earth pony with an hour glass mark.
-
97.
>Behind him came two metal monstrosities. One of gold and the other silver.
-
98.
-
99.
>"DELETE! EXTERMINATE! They shouted.
-
100.
>The stallion backed away on the ground as they came closer.
-
101.
>"DELETE!"
-
102.
>"EXTERMINA-WHOA!"
-
103.
>Derpy tripped off her porch and landed on the ground with a thud, her Cyclops helmet rolling away from her.
-
104.
>This sends Dinky into a fit of laughter as she pulls off her own helmet.
-
105.
>Hooves sat on the ground in front of them. "Wh-wha-"
-
106.
>You walked up to the happy family moment and looked down at him.
-
107.
"Always counting on me to come save your hay-bacon, eh?"
-
108.
>He shoots you a glare as Dinky trots up to you.
-
109.
>Holy hell...she was almost up to your stomach now.
-
110.
>"So how bout it Darth Knight, just as planned?"
-
111.
>You reach down and ruffle her mane. She looked up with a mildly annoyed face.
-
112.
"Just as planned poozer."
-
113.
>Hooves helped his companion off the ground.
-
114.
"So how bout you poozer, all set and ready to graduate?"
-
115.
>Dinky bobs her head."All set to get out of this town and see the world! Who knows maybe I'll visit you in Canterlot?"
-
116.
"Stay out of the East End."
-
117.
>Buncha weirdos in there.
-
118.
>Yourself among them.
-
119.
>"Are you coming to the ceremony, Mous?"
-
120.
>You tilt your head at the grinning fil- mare in front of you.
-
121.
"I'll mull it over."
-
122.
>You'll have to swipe a megaphone.
-
123.
>The sounds of wings flapping drew your attention up.
-
124.
>High in the sky was your nephew, Thunderstrike. Along with Pound Cake and Rumble.
-
125.
>The three of them flew over the town towards Whitetale Woods.
-
126.
"Where the hell are they going?"
-
127.
>Dinky scoffs. "Probably to go meet up with Truffle. He always hangs out up there with some of the others from school."
-
128.
>A bunch of teenagers hanging out alone in the woods...
-
129.
"See you later Dinks, I got stuff to do..."
-
130.
-
131.
>You crept through the woods as best as your costume would allow.
-
132.
>Thunder and the others had touched down around here, it was just a matter of finding them.
-
133.
>You hid behind a tree as you heard voices from up ahead.
-
134.
>Paydirt...
-
135.
>The kids were all sitting around a fire.
-
136.
>You saw Thunder, Rumble, The Cake Twins, Truffle, Tiara and Spoon sitting on logs and talking.
-
137.
>"And so aunt Pinkie pulls this ball out of NOWHERE and just starts tossing it around!" Pumpkin shouts.
-
138.
>"That is so weird." Tiara says.
-
139.
>"Not as weird as having a nephew only a few years younger than you." Rumble said.
-
140.
>"And you have to live with him too." Thunder said.
-
141.
>"Don't remind me..."
-
142.
>Truffle held up a...was that a bong?
-
143.
>They had pot here?
-
144.
>He put the bong to his mouth. That was when you saw the plant inside it.
-
145.
>That wasn't pot.
-
146.
>It's too blue.
-
147.
"Joke..."
-
148.
>They wanted to inhale Joke?
-
149.
>They wanted your nephew to inhale Joke!?
-
150.
>No.
-
151.
>No that would not stand.
-
152.
>You climbed the tree in front of you.
-
153.
>Once you reached the best height, you crept your way out onto a thick branch that hung over the group.
-
154.
>The kids are passing the bong around, it's almost to Thunder.
-
155.
>The shadows masked your movements, the crackling of the fire your sound.
-
156.
>It is then that you notice it.
-
157.
>You are hiding above a group of minor criminals.
-
158.
>You are dressed how you are dressed.
-
159.
>...This is the absolute zenith of your life.
-
160.
>Your spirits soaring, you drop from the branch.
-
161.
>Your boots land in the small fire pit and stomp it out, plunging the clearing into darkness.
-
162.
>The kids scream in unison as you flick on the vocal modulator on your chest.
-
163.
"YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE NIGHT."
-
164.
-
165.
>The kids scream and either gallop or fly away from you.
-
166.
>All but one.
-
167.
>"Guys! Wait, come back! It's just..."
-
168.
>And he was pissed.
-
169.
>"Uncle! What in Tartarus' name are you doing!?"
-
170.
>You shatter the bong under your boot.
-
171.
"Making sure you don't fuck up your brain with Poison Joke. What the hell are you thinking Thunder!?"
-
172.
>"Uhg! I knew someone would be like this if I told them! You're just like Dad!" He says as he starts to walk away.
-
173.
>Oh hell naw.
-
174.
>You walk up and yank Thunder to the ground by his tail.
-
175.
"I'm not your dad, I'm your uncle. And that means I can kick the crap out of you when you deserve it."
-
176.
>"Buck you!" He said as he got up
-
177.
"Don't do Joke in the woods!"
-
178.
>"Don't tell me how to live my life!"
-
179.
"Then stop fucking it up!"
-
180.
>"Joke isn't that bad!"
-
181.
"Horseshit it isn't! I've seen what it does to the bums in Canterlot!"
-
182.
>It wasn't pretty.
-
183.
>OD on Joke and your entire brain pulls a joke on you.
-
184.
>And turns off.
-
185.
>That wasn't happening to Thunder.
-
186.
>Thunder started walking out of the woods back to town.
-
187.
>"You're worse than Dad!"
-
188.
"Damn straight! And what's so wrong with your dad wanting to keep you safe?"
-
189.
>"He's smothering me is what's wrong! "Be home by nine!" "Eat your food!" "Practice your routine!" He's not letting me live my life!"
-
190.
"You mean he's not letting you cock up your life!"
-
191.
>You grab Thunder's hind leg.
-
192.
"News flash nitwit! You have to actually work at it if you want to achieve that potential your dad talks about so often!"
-
193.
>"Well maybe I don't want to be a stunt flier!" He shouts.
-
194.
-
195.
>He wriggles his leg out of your hand.
-
196.
>"If I go into stunts I'll just be "The Son of the Wonderbolt!" Everyone will expect me to deliver in something I don't want to do!"
-
197.
>"But Dad and Mom are both SO INTENT on me doing it! They get on my back every damn day!"
-
198.
>"And it was stressing me out in school and I thought "Hey, maybe I can sneak off into the woods with some friends and RELAX for thirty seconds!" but you had to go screw that up too!"
-
199.
>He was panting at his outburst, staring at you with wide angry eyes.
-
200.
>The road back to Ponyville was silent.
-
201.
"...IS THAT IT!?"
-
202.
>His face contorts. "Wha-"
-
203.
"You block head! You're dad wouldn't get on your ass about stunt flying if you'd tell him you didn't want to!"
-
204.
>Thunders eyes are still wide "He...wouldn't?"
-
205.
>Tch...teenagers.
-
206.
>You sigh.
-
207.
"No...Thunder, you dad cares more about you than anyone. He'd never want you to be unhappy in what you do."
-
208.
>Thunder's head falls. "But...won't they be disappointed?"
-
209.
>You put a hand on his shoulder.
-
210.
"Thunder, you can't be disappointed in what your kid chooses for a life. That's like, rule one of being a good parent."
-
211.
>There's a smile. "Really?"
-
212.
"Actually, it's "Don't make them sleep in the basement. But the other one is up there."
-
213.
>Thunder laughs.
-
214.
"Now c'mon. Let's get to town and tell your dad about your career change, and hope your aunt doesn't try and kick my ass for probably being late."
-
215.
>Thunder chuckles.
-
216.
>"Right behind you "Darth Knight"."
-
217.
>Damned kids...
-
218.
>Too smart these days.
