  1. It’s Nightmare Night. Technically Nightmare Day, since it was only lunch time. It was going to be your first Nightmare Night with Harley and Rainbow, so you want to make it special. But you have errands to run first. You knock on the library door.
  2. ‘Come in.’ came Twilight’s voice.
  3. You walk in a bro claw Spike, who was hard at work. Twilight is finishing up a letter for Celestia when you walk up to her.
  4. ‘What can I do for you Lokie?’
  5. ‘You remember last week when Harley almost drowned.’ You say, taking a seat on the steps. Your memories flash back to the day. Harley drowning, you trying to save her, and then your left hand glowing.
  6. ‘I assume you saw what happened with my hand.’
  7. ‘Yes I did.’ She walks over to you, she is at your eye level ‘I want you to know I haven’t told anyp0ny.’
  8. ‘thank you. I still don’t know what happened or how I was able to do it.’
  9. ‘Lokie. I have been doing some research on it, and I might have an answer.’
  10.  
  11. ‘Your arm runs on magic. Magic that flows through every creature in Equestria.’
  12. ‘But Twi, I’m not a creature of Equestria. I’m a human.’
  13. ‘But you LIVE in Equestria. And because the arm works, means you have magic flowing into you.’ You nod, still trying to comprehend you are a wizard. ‘By using that arm, it is possible to draw out your bodies magic. It is like having a unicorn horn. Do you remember what it felt like?’
  14. ‘It felt…warm. A mix of a hug, a kiss and praise. It was everything I wanted to give Harley. I wanted her to live.’
  15. ‘It sounds like a healing spell. Something powerful, I haven’t even taught Harley that.’
  16. ‘How is Harley’s lessons coming along? I can see her becoming stronger and stronger.’
  17. ‘Well she is getting better at the camouflage. It is harder and harder to find her. Her teleportation spells are getting sloppy, but she doesn’t like using them.’
  18. ‘Can you…Can you teach her offensive spells?’
  19. She looks at you shocked. ‘Of course, but why?’
  20. ‘I need her to be strong. I worry something will happen to her.’
  21.  
  22. ‘Before you go Lokie, have you learnt anything else…magic wise?’
  23. You give her a massive smile. You stick out your left arm and open your palm. Concentrating on all the happy memories you have, a small green fire ball grows in your hand.
  24. ‘Hey Lokie. Remember how you cut off you own arm to save Harley?’ Twilight says ‘That was stupid. Why would you want to save such a stupid filly? I mean getting caught like was just a stupid act.’
  25. You anger starts to rise. Your friend is standing in front of you, calling your daughter stupid. The fire ball in your hand grows larger and larger.
  26. ‘I think you should have left her to be eaten.’
  27. Your anger goes in to overload. The fire in your hand explodes around you.
  28. ‘Calm down Lokie.’ Twilight places her horn on your head and your anger melts away. ‘I’m sorry for that.’
  29. ‘Why…Why did you do that?’ you say out of breath
  30. ‘Anger is a powerful emotion to tap into in a pinch, but it leaves you uncontrolled. I wanted you to see that. If you must tap into anger, only use a small amount.’
  31. You give Twilight a nod and walk out of the library.
  32.  
  33. The night comes around fast, and P0nyville was in full celebration for Nightmare Night. Rainbow Dash had dressed as a zombie Pegasus, you were dressed as a dragon slayer, complete with no shirt which made Dash blush, and Harley was dressed the most extravagant of all. Claire had made her a pair of false wings and using a bit of magic, she looked like a filly version of Nightmare Moon.
  34. ‘Blah….give me candy.’ She yells running through town.
  35. You and Dash can’t help but to smile at this. It was her first Nightmare Night with a family, and she was enjoying it. You walk behind her smiling with Rainbow overhead. When you finally get to the centre of town, it was spectacular. You went last year, but you didn’t really enjoy it. It seems different this year, you have a family. You look at all the p0nies, all dressed in wonderful costumes, and you notice 2 p0nies in particular.
  36. ‘Your Majesties.’ You say bowing down low.
  37.  
  38. ‘Lokie Dokie. Don’t embarrass us.’ Derpy says.
  39. Derpy and Dinky are dressed in very beautiful costumes. Derpy was dressed as a queen, with a golden crown on her head, topped off with a muffin; while Dinky was dressed in her golden armour from a few months back.
  40. ‘So Queen Hooves, is this your Royal Guard?’
  41. Dinky giggles. ‘No Lokie Dokie. It’s me, Dinky.’
  42. ‘Where’s Rainbow and Harley?’ Derpy asks.
  43. ‘Rainbow said she was going to scare p0nies, and Harley,’ you look around to see her behind your legs ‘is right here.’ You step away to show a very small, very scared Nightmare Moon filly.
  44. ‘Aww, she is the cutest little Nightmare Moon.’ Derpy says, pulling out a muffin ‘Here you go.’
  45. Harley chomped into the muffin. ‘Thank you Queen Derpy. Hey Dinky, I like your costume.’
  46. Dinky and Harley hoof bump. ‘I like your costume too.’ She says.
  47.  
  48. You spend the night walking with Harley, collecting candy with her. Pinkie pie jumps out of nowhere, like the pink ninja she is. Wait, you look at her and she is dressed as a pink ninja.
  49. ‘Hyah!’ She says.
  50. ‘BLAH’ Harley screams in response, bearing her fake fangs.
  51. ‘AAAHHHH!!! Nightmare Moon... and she shrunk.’ Pinkie started to poke Harley, to which she bit her. ‘Still bites like Nightmare Moon. Are you having fun Harley?’
  52. ‘Yeah! It’s fun to be here. When’s Luna turning up?’
  53. ‘I don’t know pumpkin.’ You say, patting her head. ‘Soon I think.’
  54. You turn your head upwards. You recognise a black low flying cloud, and you smile.
  55. ‘Harley, remember that spell Twilight taught you about clouds.’ Harley nods. ‘Okay, use it now. We are going to scare Mommy.’
  56. Harley flashes red, and you pick her up like a football.
  57. ‘Go!’ you throw her towards the cloud, Harley stretched out like Superp0ny.
  58.  
  59. Rainbow loved flying around on Nightmare Night. She spent most of her time scaring her friends a bit, before going to spend the rest of the night with Harley and you. She was about to zap Applejack, when she heard it. It was a whistling sound, like something flying through the air. Rainbow turned around in time to see what looked like Nightmare Moon, about to tackle her.
  60. ‘SURPRISE MOMMY!!’ Harley screamed before tackling Rainbow onto the cloud.
  61. They both hit the cloud and bounced, before laughing their flanks off.
  62. ‘What was that little pumpkin?’ Rainbow said between laughs
  63. ‘Surface to air filly.’ Harley said smiling. ‘Daddy thought it would be funny.’
  64. ‘Well it was damn cute. I love having you up here.’
  65. ‘Gimme back my daughter, you zombie!’ you scream up at them.
  66. ‘NEVER!!’ Dash yells.
  67. There was a crack of lightning and clouds surrounded from everywhere.
  68.  
  69. From the sky above, a dark black carriage being pulled by two pegasi p0nies with bat wings, landed on the ground and out walked a cloaked figure. She lifted her hood to reveal Princess Luna. Everyp0ny was silent at this point, so you being the brave Dragon Slayer you were, went to greet the Princess.
  70. ‘Good evening Luna.’ You say, kissing her hoof.
  71. ‘Ah Lokie. You are looking…underdressed.’ She said, stifling a laugh.
  72. ‘Dare you mock the King of the Humans, Lokie the dragon slayer?’
  73. ‘Oh, you are royalty now?’
  74. ‘I must represent my fellow humans. I believe we have a fan of yours.’
  75. Harley levitates down from the cloud to greet the princess.
  76. ‘Hello Princess Luna.’ She says with a smile
  77. ‘What do we have here, a miniature Nightmare Moon?’
  78. ‘I am your biggest fan.’
  79. ‘And yet so small.’
  80. Luna gave her a pat on the head, and walked into the growing crowd.
  81.  
  82. After a few hours of enjoying yourself, you find yourself in the forest staring at the Nightmare Moon. You remember your first year here, and meeting Luna. She was always yelling at you, using the “royal voice” on you, until you told her to calm down. You spoke to her like she was a p0ny, not a monster. You sit down, leaning on the statue and rested your eyes.
  83. You are awoken by someone talking to you. ‘I guess yer numbahs up sugah.’
  84. You open your eyes to see Applejack staring you in the eyes. Fluttershy stands behind her with something in her mouth
  85. ‘Go away AJ. I’m tired.’
  86. ‘Well ah hear y’all got a fetish fer p0ny folk. Ahm here ta get mah fix.’
  87. ‘Applejack, do you really want to mess with my left hook?’
  88. ‘What left hook?’
  89. You look down and see your arm is gone. You realise the thing in Fluttershy’s mouth IS your arm.
  90.  
  91. You try to stand, but you feel AJ hold you down. She is now on your lap, looking at your bare chest.
  92. ‘Ya think ah could resist a buff chest…’ she starts to rub it with her hoof ‘…like yers.’
  93. ‘Applejack. I’m happy with Rainbow Dash. Why can’t you leave me alone?’
  94. ‘It’s not what ah hear. You had a fight with her sent her in tah a rage and she beat you.’
  95. ‘Applejack, I am giving you one last chance. Get the FUCK OFF ME!!’
  96. ‘Ah love it when ya make like ya don’t want me.’
  97. You try pushing against her, but with one hand, it’s fairly useless. She has you pinned, and no p0ny is around to hear you. Your anger starts to build up. You hear an ‘eep!’ come from Fluttershy, but you try to focus on AJ. She brings her lips to yours and kisses you. Your mind fills with anger and fear. You close your eyes to try and block her out, before you hear a massive crack.
  98.  
  99. You open your eyes to see Applejack laying on the ground and your arm floating in mid air with a green aura. You snatch it up and reattach it, before grabbing Fluttershy and Applejack and dragging them into the deeper parts of the forest. When you finally satisfied that you are deep enough in so no p0ny will find you, you hold her up against a tree around the throat. Applejack was struggling against your left hand while Fluttershy whimpered as you held her mane with the right.
  100. ‘What the buck was that?’ Applejack cries.
  101. ‘Oh, don’t like surprises AJ?’ you say, sneering in her face. ‘And what’s your plan in this Fluttershy? Trying to ruin my life as well.’ She just whimpered more
  102. ‘Let me down, ya stinking human.’ Applejack said.
  103. ‘No. I have dealt with you for too long. I tried reasoning, I tried being kind, but you don’t seem to want to leave me and my family alone. You seem to think that my life is a joke to you, something you can buck anytime you want. So, the next best thing is to kill you.’
  104. Fluttershy started to cry now. Applejack just stared at you.
  105. ‘I wanted friendship from you, but you can’t let me be happy.’ Your grip started to tighten ‘HUH! YOU WANT MY BODY!! YOU WANT TO RIDE MY BODY TILL YOU FEEL YOU HAD ENOUGH!!’
  106. Fluttershy is full on crying her eyes out. ‘I’m…I’m sorry Lokie.’
  107. ‘Then why can’t I be happy for once. My daughter almost died because I was a bad father, I’m an orphan from another plane of existence and if Rainbow Dash leaves me, I will have no p0ny.’
  108. ‘Ah’ll still want ya.’
  109. ‘Oh yeah, such a luxurious life. Raped every day.’ You tighten even more. ‘For the element of Honesty, you seem to like to lie. You said you wouldn’t come after me, and you lied.’
  110. You pressed you hand into Applejack’s throat harder. ‘Please…..please stop….’ She said trying to knock your hand away.
  111. ‘Oh I LOVE IT when you play hard to get!!’ you scream, sounding more like a mad man than ever. ‘Isn’t that what you said to me everytime you had me down?’
  112. ‘Please Lokie. Please, Ahm sorry fer everything.’
  113. ‘NO YOU’RE NOT!! If you were sorry, you wouldn’t try to hurt my family. You wouldn’t want to hurt your friends. You wouldn’t have hurt me, than man who wanted you and Big Mac to be Harley’s Godparents.’ You begin to cry.
  114.  
  115. ‘What did ya say?’ Applejack says
  116. ‘I said I wanted you to be Harley’s Godmother. You are strong, and honest. You run a successful business. If Dash or I die, I wanted her to live with you.’
  117. ‘Then why kill me?’
  118. ‘Because…because I can’t let my daughter live with a rapist. I wanted her to live with my friend. And if I can’t trust you, I can’t let you live.’
  119. ‘Can ah ask fer one favour?’
  120. ‘What?’
  121. ‘Let Fluttershy live, sugah… She didn’t want to do this. I forced her ta come.’
  122. ‘Are you afraid of me, Applejack? Are you afraid of a human who will snap your neck?’
  123. A single tear rolls down her muzzle ‘Yes…’
  124. ‘Good.’
  125.  
  126. You lean in close and whisper in her ear ‘Happy Nightmare Night Applejack.’ You kiss her on the cheek and drop her. She gulps in air, and looks around properly. Fluttershy is standing there next to you, tears on her face still, and you with a smile.
  127. ‘Good performance, yes?’
  128. She looks at you ‘WHAT THE BUCK WAS THAT?!?’
  129. ‘It’s Nightmare Night. It’s called a prank.’ Came a voice above.
  130. Rainbow Dash glided down and stood next to you.
  131. ‘You…You were in on it?’
  132. ‘Yeah! You think I would allow Lokie out here alone. Also, if his performance got too extreme, I would step in and stop it.’
  133. ‘And what was the point of that?’
  134. ‘Well, 1) a prank. Nightmare Night remember.’ You say, lifting her off the ground ‘But mainly 2. We want you to be Harley’s Godmother.’
  135. ‘And ya do this by tryin’ ta kill me?’
  136. ‘Any method to prove a point. Come on, I’ll carry your fat flank back to the farm.’
  137.  
  138. After leaving AJ with Big Macintosh, you walk Fluttershy home.
  139. ‘I’m sorry for scaring you Fluttershy. I didn’t mean to, I just wanted to get a point across to Applejack.’ You say.
  140. ‘It’s…it’s okay Lokie…’ she whispers
  141. ‘Look, I still want you to be my friend. I don’t blame you for anything, and I hope you forgive me.’
  142. ‘Umm…Lokie? What was that …with the arm?
  143. You stop walking. ‘When I get upset, I can use the magic in my body. Twilight says it’s like a horn, channelling the power. That’s how I saved Harley from drowning. ‘
  144. ‘Oh…I didn’t know humans knew magic.’
  145. ‘We don’t, it’s an emotional thing. I don’t like using it.’
  146. You leave Fluttershy outside her door, and hug her good bye. On your way back home, you wonder if the power you felt was a good thing. It made you feel…stronger. You shake it off and head home. You are way too tired to think.
