Kingdom Stars

  With Naka, the sun is still shining, but night had already fallen in in the other world... In a Red wood cottage there is a sleeping gray stallion Pegasus with a red and black striped mane and tail. His cutie resembles a horseshoe with a green crescent moon in the middle.

Groan. "Man can't sleep." he sit's up and looks at his clock. "twelve forty... I guess I should go for a walk." He grabs his coat and trotted out the door.

  The night air was chilly, but that didn't bother him much. He headed over to sugar cube corner to see if the cakes where still open, highly doubting it, he was surprised to see that the lights are still on.

" Wow still open... aww never mind their about to close." He said as he noticed a pink puffy haired mare mopping the floor. " Pinkie pie? Well might as well say hi." As Midnight entered the shop, he was tackled by the happy hyper active pony.

   "OHHI!!!I'MSOGLADYOUCAMEIWASWORRIEDYOUWOULDN'TBEHEREAN-." Midnight put a hoof to her mouth. "Calm down. Now what happened?" He removed his hoof prepared for another full blast, pinkie just shook her head."Nothing I'm just happy that you're here."

   She hopped behind the counter grinning at him.

"So what would you liike."

"I'll have one of those Cherry Changas and a milkshake to go."

Pinkie pouted. "Aww you're not staying?"

Midnight rubbed the back of his head. "No sorry I was just going to walk around a bit, then go back to bed."

She staired at him blushing. "If you want you can stay here for the night." She said handing him his order.

"Umm thanks, but where would i sleep?"

  "Mrs.Cake can find you a place. If she can't then you can sleep with me!"

"COOL! thanks for the offer, I'll think about it gotta go bye!" with that he zip out of the store heading towards a tree that represented the library. Pinkie sighed. "I don't think he likes me vary much...OH WELL!!! TIME TO CLOSE!!!" She heaved one more sigh before shutting everything down and going to bed.

  Twilight sat in her room studying a strange piece of paper. After a few minutes a knock came at the door. She sighed fetching the it. " Who could be out this late?... Oh hi Midnight, what brings you here?" "Couldn't sleep so I decided to get some food and drop by." She let Midnight in nudging him to eat at the table. "So whats up?" He asked slurping on his milkshake. Twilight brought the paper to him. a stressed look on her face.

   "Fluttershy found this when she was feeding her animals. It's written in a weird language, with sketches of hearts and creepy creatures of different varieties." midnight stared at it as he brought the changa to his mouth, some of the sauce spilling on the table. Twilight levitates the parchment away. "Don't put sauce on my table, or the paper! Here have a napkin." Mouth still full of food he apologized, took it, and cleand up his mess.

  "Thanks Twi." he finished his snack, continuing to slurp on his shake. "So have any idea what it means?" Twi shook her head. "I've checked all the books, but none of them have the knowledge on what this is. I was going to contact Celestia on this matter."

  He nodded his understanding. "Sounds like a good idea!" Twilight stared at him, a big grin on her face. "What?" Midnight asked a little uncomfortable. "Oh nothing. So do you like her?" Twilight said, Midnight stared to smile. "Who pinkie? Twi you know i already got some pony." She shook her head. Poor Pinkie. "Speaking of how is Skyshadow?" "Fine." He said sighing lightly. "I miss Sky."

   Twilight nuzzled him gently. "Don't worry he'll be back in your hooves in no time." Midnight hugged Twilight, tears forming in his eyes. "Thanks Twi. Mind if i stay here?" She smiled. "Not at all. You can take the bed in the basement." She started heading towards her room, looking at him with a playful yet seductive look on her face. "Or you can sleep with your big sis, She'll comfort you.".Midnight laughed. "Ok i'll cuddle with you, it would help anyway."  They walked up to the bed climbing in after twilight holding her as he fell asleep.

  Four blocks down the road Club PON-3 was hot and bumping with music. Two ponies where sitting on the side of the club. The stallion held his mare-friends hoof. "Oh come on Tumble flame why not?" She giggled. "Because I'm not that type of filly Draken Scale." He pouted. "Please its going to be fun i promise." Tumble kissed him. "Ok Draken just this once, but are you sure it's ok?" Draken smiled.

  "Positive. Now this is how you do it." He produced a glass object, wooden bowl, grinder, a beautiful orange lower with blue pollen, and a jar of nectar from it. "You put the Triva flower in the bowl and grind it up until its a fine pulp. Then you put a bit in to this glass thing called a pipe. Light it up, breath in, and enjoy." Draken took in a nice drag before passing it to Tumble. "Like this Draken?" Tumble took a deep breath, only to be greeted with a lot of coughing. "don't take such large breaths. Calm down." They sat there getting really cloudy yet happy minds while drinking the flowers nectar.

   Not to far away from where they rest, a dark form rushes towards the two ponies. Tumble looks in it's direction. "Hey do you see that?" She pointed a hoof at it. Draken squinted trying to get a better look at it. "Yea I do. Who's there? Come on man it's not cool to be creepy." It came closer revealing it's self. It was a little knight with, glowing yellow eyes, sharp red claws, and funny little jester feet. "What is that?" Tumble asked frightened.

   "I don't know but I'll get rid of it." He got up pawing the ground, showing signs of intimidation. The creature charged and knocked him aside. Watching as it attacked Tumble Flame.When he got back up it was to late. in the knights claws it held a bright glowing heart. Draken stared at Tumble her body lay beaten, and still. I large tantrum of rage he bull charged the knight bashing it with full body force, knocking the heart away from the thing.

   He charged again stumbling through as it disappeared. Draken turned to see that not only did the shadow disappear, but his marefriend began to evaporate. in a fine dark wisp. The only thing that was left was the glowing heart that absorbed in to his body after touching it.

  Midnight woke up to a panicking Twilight, and a worried little purple dragon named spike. He got up, and trotted over to the dragon groggily. "Whats up with Twi?" Spike shook his head. "Somepony came over last night, and told about this black thing attacking his marefriend." Midnight chuckled. "How big was it?" The two laughed at their little joke, giving each other a brohoof. Spike continued.

   "We sent a letter to Celestia about it, but she hasn't written back." "Maybe she's trying to find out how big it is to?" They both busted out laughing capturing Twilight's attention. "Why are you guys laughing? somepony is dead, that creature is still out there, Celestia has yet to write back and there is a depressed druggie pony in my basement.

  Midnight looked at her with a concerned expression. "I'm sorry Twilight... Does he still have some?" Twilight threw one of the books she was levitating down on his head. "UGHH you are so insensitive. Go down stairs and comfort him." "Why?" "Because your that type of stallion. NOW GO!" He shrugged off the pain as he went down to the basement. Draken sat there smiling as the smoke filled the room he turned to midnight's direction.

  "Hey my name is Draken Scale. Wanna smoke this with me?" Midnight closed the door, and sat next to Draken taking a shot at the substance. "My name is Midnight Mustang... So how are you holding up?" He shrugged. "Don't know my girl just died right before my eyes. How should i feel about it?"

   "Well if i where you i would probable move on, what is done is done. Between you and me I would avenge her death." Draken sighed. "But I was barely able to protect my self let alone her, how could i ever avenge her if i can't even last a second." Midnight scooted closer to Draken putting his hoof around him. "I know how you feel my partner is a captain of the lunar guard. He left to go on a mission five months ago, I haven't seen him since."

  Draken patted his back. "Him? I would have never guessed you would be that type of colt." Midnight laughed. "Yea I am." Scooting closer Draken asks. "So uh whats it like taking it from behind?" "Meh no different than it would feel if you you done it with a mare. Well i like it any way... Why? Do you want to try it?"

  He blushed. "I'm open to knew things." With that Midnight lunged on top of him, their lips connected. Draken slipped his tongue in to Mid's mouth as it began to dance with his. Midnight backed away a bit smiling at him. "You ready?" "As I would ever be." Midnight gently pressed CENSOR commencing intercourse.

  Midnight came back up stairs after his passionate adventure. Spike come up to him curious. "So how is he?" "He's going to be fine... Don't tell anypony but I got some triva flower from him we can try together. You in?" "Heck yea I'm in." "Cool. Alright I'll see ya later spike i have to get ready or work. BYE!" Spike watched Midnight head back home Grinning. "This is going to be one crazy adventure."
