A New Life in Equestria(Continued)

Three years later...

I've been living in Equestria for three years and I'll tell you, Equestria is paradise. It has been very good living here with Celestia as my mom. She even gave me a new name: Glitter Sparkle. I really like the name. It may sound like a name for a filly, but I still like it. She has grown very attached to me, as have to her. She smothers me a lot, but I don't care. I still love her.

I'm going through potty-training again and have been doing pretty good. I wear pull-ups instead of diapers and have a few accidents now and then. Mommy doesn't get mad if I do, and that's good. Every time I go without being asked or wake up without being wet or messy, I get rewarded by her, usually with praise, or a slice of cake or ice cream, if I get lucky. Also, most people would want privacy while doing their business, but Mommy usually sits next to me and keeps me on the potty while I go. I don't really mind. She's my mom, after all.

I have a full set of baby teeth and I'm able to eat solid foods, instead of breast milk. I've gotten used to eating hay, oats, grass, and other things in a pony's diet. I like many different foods, but my favorite is hay. I'll eat it raw, cooked, or with something else. Hay is very good, and it's no wonder why ponies love it so much. Also, I can talk now, perfectly. I still call Celestia "Mommy", even though I can say her name just fine, but I feel like I'm offending her or disrespecting her if I do, so I call her "Mommy". I have my own bedchamber with a bathroom that I use for playtime, potty breaks, and very rarely, for bedtime. I really love to sleep with Mommy.

The only things I can't do are fly and use my magic, as I am still a little too young. I remember when I was about a month old, I could use it perfectly, but only for a week. Mommy said that she'll teach me how to do both of them when I'm about seven years old. At least I've seen the color of my aura: Shiny Silver. It was close to Mommy's golden aura. Also, I've bonded with my other two family members: my auntie, Princess Luna, and my cousin, Princess Cadence. I love them both. Even though Auntie Luna is nocturnal, and Caddie lives in the Crystal Empire several miles away from Canterlot, I still get to spend a little time with them.

~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up in my own bed the next morning and yawned with a smile. I had slept in my own bed because Mommy was very tired and wanted to sleep alone. Anyway, I threw the green-velvet comforter off of me, shivering a bit from being deprived of the heat the comforter was giving me. I then rolled out of bed, landing on my four hooves, and stretched. I poked the front of my pull-up, smiling as it was completely clean. Still smiling, I walked across the hall to Mommy's bedchamber. Remembering what she told me, I knocked on the door before going in.

"Come in", I heard Mommy call from the inside. I opened the door and walked in, closing the door behind me. Mommy was sitting on the bed, brushing her tail and humming to herself. She looked over at me and smiled. "Good morning, Sweetie".

"Morning, Mommy", I said, walking over to her bed and sitting down next to her. Mommy pulled me into a hug and cuddled me.

"Did you sleep well?", she said.

"Mm-hmm", I said, "No accidents, either". I proudly showed off my clean pull-up, making Mommy smile.

"That's great, Sweetie", she said, "Keep that up, and soon, you won't need pull-ups anymore". I smiled and snuggled deeper into her coat. At that point, I felt my bladder calling for release.

"Mommy?", I asked.

"Yes, Sweetie?", Mommy asked back.

"I have to go potty", I said.

"Go ahead, Sweetie", Mommy said.

Mommy let go of me and gave me a small pat on the back of my pull-up as I jumped off of the bed. I walked into the bathroom, pulled my pull-up down to my ankles, and sat down on the toilet. I sighed as I released my bladder into the toilet, a small trickling sound emanating through the bathroom as I did. After tinkling, I flushed and washed my hooves with Mommy's best-smelling soap. After that, I could taste my own morning breath, making me wince a bit. I grabbed my toothbrush, put some fluoride-free toothpaste on it and brushed my teeth very slowly, since my gums were very sensitive. After spitting out the toothpaste and rinsing the mint out of my mouth, I walked out of the bathroom and sat back down on the bed. I cuddled Mommy again and she rested her head on top of mine.

"I love you, Sweetie", Mommy said, kissing my cheek.

"I love you too, Mommy", I said, snuggling into her coat. She was so warm.

"So, Sweetie", Mommy said, "Do you know what today is?"

"Saturday?", I said.

"Well, yes", Mommy said, "But it's also a special day".

"Special day?", I asked curiously.

"Yes", Mommy said, "It's Nightmare Night".

"Nightmare Night?", I said. Nightmare Night was Halloween in Equestria, one of my favorite holidays.

"Yes", Mommy said, "And you're finally old enough to go trick-or-treating". My ears perked up like a dog after hearing that.

"Really?!", I said, getting very excited.

"Yes", Mommy said again, "I'm going to let you trick-or-treat this year". I hugged Mommy as tight as I could.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!", I said, planting several kisses on her cheek.

"You're welcome, Sweetie", Mommy said, giving me a small and affectionate lick on my cheek as I looked up at her.

"Are you going with me?", I asked.

"I'd love to, Sweetie, but I can't", Mommy said, "I have to stay here and keep watch in case ponies try to vandalize the Castle. The last thing I need is my Castle to be pelted with eggs or rolled with toilet paper or spray-painted with graffiti".

"But I can't go by myself~!", I whined.

"I know, Sweetie", Mommy said, cuddling me a little tighter, "But don't worry your little head about that. Instead, I'm going to send Cadence with you. She's one who really loves to trick-or-treat".

"Caddie likes to trick-or-treat?", I asked, "Isn't she a little old for that?"

"That's what I've been telling her", Mommy said, "But she doesn't care. She says as long as she's a filly, she can still do it. I don't even think she's going to stop even when she grows up". I giggled lightly.

"When is she coming?", I asked again, wanting to see her.

"Whenever you want her to come, I'll write a letter to her", Mommy said.

"Can she come over now?", I pleaded, "I want to see her".

"Sure", Mommy said, licking my cheek again, "Just let me write the letter". Still cuddling me, she levitated a paper, a quill, and a small container of ink, quickly scribbling down what she needed to. I leaned up a little bit to see what she was writing.

Dear, Cadence,

I would like you to come to Canterlot and trick-or-treat with your cousin, Glitter. I would go, but I must stay at the Castle and protect it from vandals. I would highly appreciate in if you would. Also, I would like you to come to the Castle now, as Glitter would very much like to see you. You may leave after you're done trick-or-treating, or you may stay the night, your choice.

Princess Celestia

After writing what she needed to, she cleaned the ink off of the quill and placed it, along with the ink container, back on her dresser. After that, she wrapped the letter up into a scroll with a red ribbon and with a blast of magic, Mommy sent the letter to the Crystal Empire, the place Caddie lived. Mommy then cuddled me again.

"She should get the letter in about two minutes", she said.

"OK", I said, smiling with excitement.

"So", Mommy said, "Since you're trick-or-treating this year, I made you a costume last night". Mommy used her magic to pull something out from underneath her bed. I saw that it was a cloak that was black on the outside, red in the inside. Also, there was face paint, fake blood, and a pair of plastic fangs. I smiled as I knew exactly what it was: a vampire costume. I smiled even bigger as I knew Mommy remembered that I wanted to be a vampire for Nightmare Night. It was better than a cheap ghost. Seriously, who wants to just throw a sheet over their self and pretend to be scary? Anyway, I hugged Mommy as tight as I could.

"Thank you, Mommy!", I said, "I love it!"

"You're very welcome, Sweetie", Mommy said, licking my cheek once more, "I knew you would like it. I was up until 4:00 this morning making it, just for you". I smiled and nuzzled her again. About three minutes later, we heard a knock on the door. "Come in". The door opened and Caddie walked through, her usual sweet smile on her face.

"Caddie!", I said, running over to the filly and hugging her tight. Her coat had a very powerful cherry scent, and I loved it every time I hugged her.

"Hey, Glitter", Caddie said, "Good to see you". She leaned down and gave me a small kiss on my cheek.

"You too!", I said, returning the kiss and inhaling her cherry scent. Caddie then looked over at Mommy.

"Hey, Auntie Celestia", she said.

"Hello, Cadence", Mommy said, "How's everything?"

"Perfect", Caddie said, "Absolutely perfect. I was about to play some chess, but when I heard about my little cousin wanting to see me, I couldn't say no". I blushed with so much flattery.

"Well, you arrived just in time for dinner", Mommy said, "Whenever you're ready, you may head down to the dining room". Caddie smiled and walked down to the dining room. I prepared to followed her, but looked back at Mommy first.

"Are you coming, Mommy?", I asked.

"I'll be down there soon", Mommy said, "First I must prepare everything for tonight. Anyone who tries to vandalize my Castle will be severely punished".

I shrugged and followed Caddie downstairs to the dining room, closing Mommy's bedchamber door behind me. Once we got to the dining room, Caddie lifted me into my highchair and strapped me in, pushing the table piece until it was lightly pressing against my tummy. After wrapping a napkin around my neck to act as a bib, she sat down in the chair next to me. The cooks then brought out the food and served me and Caddie, leaving a plate for Mommy once she was ready. After that, they left, leaving Caddie and I alone.

My plate contained grilled hay as an entree, along with a side of several mixed vegetables, like carrots and asparagus. I have to admit, I couldn't stand vegetables living on Earth. In fact, just a single green bean or a single kernel of corn was my kryptonite. But now, I absolutely LOVE vegetables. I don't know if it's my knew vegetarian body, but I now love vegetables. In fact, I don't even eat popcorn when I watch a movie. I'll just have a head of broccoli or a stalk of celery. I'm not picky, either. I'll eat them all. Broccoli, spinach, carrots, corn, peas, asparagus, you name it. Anyway, Caddie and I ate in silence for about five minutes, then Caddie broke that silence.

"So, Glitter", she said, wiping her mouth with her napkin, "How's it been?"

"Great!", I said, chewing a big piece of asparagus, "I woke up with no potty in my pull-up!"

"Well, congrats", Caddie said, "Looks like you're becoming a big colt".

"Mm-hmm!", I said, "Mommy said that if I keep waking up clean and go only in the potty, I won't have to wear pull-ups no more!" Caddie smiled and nuzzled me.

"Good luck, little cousin", she said, showing a bit of support.

"Thank you, Caddie", I said.

After dinner, Caddie and I still had a few hours before it was dark outside, so we decided to just watch some cartoons to pass the time. We were watching funny Nightmare Night specials, cuddling tightly on my bed, and giggling every now and then.

"Ooh, this is my favorite part!", I said. After we saw that part, we both started laughing hard. "That was so funny!"

"Yes it was", Caddie said, "The main character it the sliest pony I've ever seen. He always gets his victims without them even knowing".

"Yeah", I said, "It's like he's silent, but deadly". I heard a small sigh come from Caddie, followed by a giggle.

"Do you know what else is silent but deadly?", she asked me, smirking.

"What?", I asked. I instantly caught on what she was talking about, as a very foul odor traveled up my nostrils, making my muzzle twitch and wrinkle, and it wasn't coming from my pull-up either.

"Eww!", I exclaimed, shoving my face into Caddie's coat to block out the odor. Caddie laughed hysterically.

"Excuse me", she said, still laughing hard. I looked up at Caddie with my hoof over my muzzle, blocking out the stench.

"Why did you do that in my room?!", I yelled, "It's stinky!"

"I know", Caddie said, playfully fanning her behind, "Silent, but deadly". Even though I was trapped in Caddie's gas cloud, I had to admit, the joke was funny. I smiled and hugged the filly again, trying hard to get used to the smell.

"That was funny, Caddie", I said, giggling. Caddie smiled and returned the cuddle.

"I'm glad you think so, Glitter", she said, "I apologize for... breaking wind... in your bedchamber. I've been holding that one in for a long time".

"It's OK, Caddie", I said, giggling lightly, "But I'm gonna get you back".

"We'll just see about that", Caddie said.

~~~~~~~~~~

7:00 PM...

I sighed as I sat on the potty, doing my business, and kicking my hind legs as they hung over the seat. I was taking a quick potty break before leaving with Caddie. It was time. Candy time I should say. Yep, it was time to go trick-or-treating, and I was very excited to bring in loads of candy. I grabbed some toilet paper off of the roll and wiped myself carefully.

"Are you OK in there?", Caddie said from the outside.

"Yes", I said back, "I'm almost done".

"OK, Glitter", Caddie said, "Just checking". After I was finished in the bathroom, I came back into my bedchamber, closing the door behind me.

"I'm done, Caddie", I said. Caddie smiled.

"Good", Caddie said, "Now, come here so I can get your costume on you".

I walked over to Caddie and sat down on the bed, smiling as she put the cloak, face paint, and fake blood on me. I took the fangs and placed them in my mouth, shifting them around until they were comfortable. After that, I looked in the mirror, smiling. I really looked good and scary, and I knew I was about to score some major sugar.

"Aww!", Caddie said, "You look so cute wearing that!"

"Cute?", I said, "I'm not supposed to be cute! I'm scary! Rah!" I tried growling at her to scare her, showing her my scariness, but she just chuckled.

"Nice try", Caddie said, ruffling my mane with her hoof You still look a little scary". I smiled. "Now, I'm going to put my costume on". She walked into the bathroom as I sat down on my bed, practicing my roars and hisses for my costume.

While Caddie was getting her costume on, I was thinking about the amount of candy I was going to take in. I was planning to get so much candy, especially from the elderly ponies. Elders really like giving candy to the young ones, especially on Nightmare Night. Because seriously, who doesn't love a three-year-old wearing a "cute" vampire costume? Anyway, soon, Caddie walked out of the bathroom, dressed in her Nightmare Night costume. She had dyed her mane black, fake blood was covering her face, she was wearing a black cloak, and she was wearing special contact lenses to make her pupils look bigger. I had to admit, she looked pretty scary.

"Like my costume?", Caddie said, "I'm Bloody Marey".

"Wow!", I said, "You're scary!"

"Thanks for that, Glitter", Caddie said, kissing my cheek, "Alright, get your pillowcase so we can go". I grabbed my pillowcase and hopped onto Caddie's back. Before leaving, we walked into Mommy's bedchamber to let her know we were leaving. Mommy was also prepared, standing at her window, looking through a spyglass, with a huge bucket of water balloons next to her.

"Auntie", Caddie said, "We're leaving now".

"OK, Sweetie", Mommy said, still looking out of the window. She must have been seriously concentrated.

"We'll be back around 10:30", Caddie said. After saying goodbye, Caddie and I walked out of the Castle and started trick-or-treating.

Two hours later...

Caddie and I were making out like bandits. Serious bandits. Our pillowcases were about three-quarters full, and were starting to get heavy. Good thing I was riding on Caddie's back, because if I wasn't, I don't think I would have been able to carry it.

"We're doing good", Caddie said.

"Yep!", I said, "I can taste the candy already!" Caddie chuckled let out a small chuckle.

"You're funny, Glitter", she said, "So, we have thirty minutes left. I think we should end our trick-or-treating with the rich ponies". Just hearing the word "rich" made me happy. Trick-or-treating in a rich neighborhood was pure jackpot.

"Yes!", I happily said. Caddie giggled.

A few minutes later, we arrived in the rich neighborhood. There was no mistaking this neighborhood for any other neighbor hood. Mansions were everywhere, and I could have swore that the light bulbs were diamond. I was starting to get anxious at that point, as I knew my pillowcase was about to get twice as heavy. Our first stop was a mansion with solid bricks for walls. Caddie rang the doorbell and stepped back a few inches as the door opened and an elderly mare, wearing a funny hat, came through the door and stood on the doorstep.

"Trick-or-treat!", Caddie and I said together.

"Coming right up", the mare said, giving us each two full-size chocolate bars. I smiled with excitement as the candy bars went into my pillowcase, joining the mountain of candy already in there.

"Thank you", Caddie and I said.

"You're welcome", the elder said, "Happy Nightmare Night, young-uns".

"Happy Nightmare Night!", I said. We walked off as the elder went back into her house.

The next mansion we went to was right next to the previous one. Excitement began to occur again as we walked up to the doorstep and saw a bucket of candy, filled to the point where it was overflowing, some on the ground. There was a sign that said Please take only one. I really wish it hadn't, because it was full of good things, like chocolate, packs of gummy candy, lollipops, and other tasty candies. I hopped off of Caddie's back and walked up to the bucket, my mouth watering. I reached out to take a treat, but Caddie pulled me back with her magic.

"I have an idea", Caddie said. She pointed her horn toward the bucket and blasted it with magic. The dust cleared and I gasped a bit. The single bucket of candy was now three of them. "I multiplied it. Now, I can have one for myself, you can have one, and the third one will remain here for other trick-or-treaters". She levitated two of the buckets over to her. She poured the candy in one of them in her own pillowcase, and the candy in the other one in my pillowcase. I smiled as I took my pillowcase and hopped back on Caddie's back. We walked to the next mansion. I smiled, thanking myself for having such a clever filly as a cousin.

~~~~~~~~~~

Twenty minutes later...

Caddie and I were making our way back to the Castle, our huge pillowcases with us. Mine was full of fun-sized candy, with several full-size candies, thanks to the rich ponies. I was a little sad since it had to end so soon, but porch lights were starting to go off, and ponies were going to bed. I guess the fun has to end eventually. Anyway, we reached the Castle and entered. All lights were off, and it was pitch-dark.

"Hello?", I said. Then, a very loud roar rang out and scared the living daylights out of is both. A light flashed on and Auntie Luna, dressed as her evil alter ego, Nightmare Moon, was standing in front of us.

"Mother!", Caddie said, "Why'd you do that?"

"You scared us!", I said.

"Of course I did!", Auntie Luna said, "This is my night, and I scare everypony that I can! Nightmare Moon never misses out on frightening little fillies and colts on her night!"

"I wish you could always dress like that", I mumbled underneath my breath.

"Just a little word of advice though, my dear sweethearts", she said, giving us both a nuzzle, "I wouldn't scare Tia for a while. I have several times, and she almost shot me with a crossbow the last time".

"Understood", Caddie said.

"Yeah", I said, "You better hurry, Auntie Luna. Some ponies are still trick-or-treating, and are about to go home".

"I will", Auntie Luna said, "All will bow down to Nightmare Moon! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She dashed out the door as Caddie and I walked up to Mommy's bedchamber to let her know we were back. Once we got there, Caddie opened the door.

"Auntie Celestia", she said, "We're back". Mommy was standing at the window, still fully concentrated, a loaded crossbow pointed out the window as well.

"Mommy?", I said. She didn't even move. "MOMMY!" Mommy turned around instantly, pointing a crossbow at us, ready to fire.

"Auntie Celestia it's us!!", Caddie yelled before Mommy could fire. Mommy sighed and dropped the crossbow.

"I'm very sorry, you two", she said, "I've been standing at this window ever since you two left, and Luna hasn't been making it any easier. I had to shoot at some vandals because I ran out of water balloons, and I've wasted several good arrows". I looked over at the wall and saw a huge sack, full of candy, leaning against it. I smiled a little.

"Mommy?", I said, pointing to the sack, "Is that candy?"

"Yes, Sweetie", Mommy said, "Confiscated candy. A huge gang of teenagers tried to vandalize the Castle, and I took their candy as punishment for them. I think they'll think twice before trying to spray paint my Castle next year".

"Sooo...", I said, shifting my eyes from side to side. Mommy chuckled, knowing what I wanted to say.

"Yes, Sweetie", she said, "You and Cadence can split it as you wish".

"Thanks, Mommy!", I said, taking the sack of candy.

After taking our costumes off and checking our candy, Caddie and I sat in my bedchamber, eating our candy and talking among ourselves. Caddie and I had fun trick-or-treating, and I loved every minute of it, just like every time I got to spend with Caddie.

"So", Caddie said, swallowing a miniature candy bar, "Did you have fun?"

"Mm-hmm", I said, finishing off a lollipop, "We sure got a lot of candy".

"We did", Caddie said, "This looks like a new record compared to last time". We ate our candy for a while. I dug to the bottom of my pillowcase and saw a spider-horn-ring. Caddie really likes horn-rings, so I struck her a deal.

"Caddie?", I asked.

"Yes, Glitter?", Caddie said

"I'll trade you this spider-horn-ring for a candy bar", I said, holding the horn-ring out to her. Caddie smiled.

"You know my weakness", she said, "Deal".

I gave her the horn-ring and she gave me a full-size candy bar. After the trade, we kept eating, enjoying our massive loads of candy. After a few more pieces, I felt a small buildup underneath me, and I smiled widely. I pulled the back of my pull-up down slightly so Caddie wouldn't notice, gave a small sigh, and passed a silent and long puff of gas.

"That was a good one", I mumbled underneath my breath, pulling my pull-up back over my bottom, "Hey Caddie. Remember that silent but deadly thing?"

"Mm-hmm", Caddie said, "What about-?" Caddie stopped in mid-sentence when the smell crawled up her nostrils, making her nose wrinkle.

"Eww!", she said, covering her muzzle with her hoof, "Glitter! That's gross!"

"Payback!", I said, "I told you I'd get you back! Plus, I'm only three! Ha!" I sniffed the air loudly. "It's not that bad, actually".

"Because it's your stink!", Caddie said, "But good one, Glitter. You got me". Her muzzle still covered, she reached into her pillowcase and pulled out a wrapped peanut butter cup and gave it to me. "Here's your reward for pranking the prankster". I smiled and took the peanut butter cup, eating it without even removing the wrapper.

"Thank you, Caddie", I said.

"You're welcome, Glitter", Caddie said. We went back to out candy.

~~~~~~~~~~

3:00 AM...

It was the middle of the night when I woke up, yawning loudly. Rubbing my eyes, I smiled as I remembered the great Nightmare Night I had with Caddie. I could still taste the candy I had eaten on my breath.

"Man", I said, rubbing my chubby stomach, "I love me some candy!" Then, my stomach rumbled and I felt a pressure in my lower body. "Gotta go potty!" I ran into the bathroom, barely making it to the potty.

After doing my business and washing up, I walked out of the bathroom and closed the door. Then, I noticed a letter on my nightstand. I walked over to my nightstand and picked up the letter. I opened it and saw that it was from Caddie.

Dear, Glitter,

I had a really good time with you last night. Trick-or-treating is a lot better when it's with you. I wanted to stay the night with you, but I had to return home. I'll be back as soon as I can. Your candy is in your mommy's bedchamber. She didn't want you to get a tummy ache and end up puking. I hope to spend more time with you, Glitter. I miss you already.

Love you, little cousin,

Caddie

I smiled as I kissed the letter and put it under my pillow.

"I love you too, Caddie", I said. At that point, my stomach growled and hunger struck me. I had the nighttime munchies, very bad. I wanted more candy, but I didn't want to wake up Mommy, so I snuck down to the kitchen for a snack.

Once I reached the kitchen, I spotted a really tasty delicacy. A big, three-layer chocolate cake, sitting on the table out in the open. My mouth watered at the sight of the delicious cake, and I instantly wanted some. I walked up to the table, used one of the chairs to boost myself up, and hopped onto the table. I sat down in front of the delicious cake and reached my hoof out for some. Before I could get any however, I heard someone clear their throat, making me jump heavily. I turned toward the door frame, seeing Mommy standing there.

"Well, little one", she said, "Shouldn't you be in bed?"

"S... sorry, Mommy", I said, hanging my head low with guilt, "I was a little hungry and my candy was in your bedchamber. I didn't want to wake you and I saw this cake and... I wanted some". Mommy walked over toward me and sat down in one of the chairs. She set me in her lap and cuddled me.

"Sweetie", she said, "It's OK. If you wanted a snack, all you had to do was ask. I'm not mad at you". I looked up at her and smiled.

"Thank you, Mommy", I said, hugging her tight.

"You're welcome, Sweetie", Mommy said, licking my cheek. Mommy then looked at the cake. "But, that cake does look really appealing. I don't suppose it would hurt if we had a small piece". She got up, grabbed a knife, and cut herself and I a very small piece. The wonderful taste of rich chocolate was really good, and I instantly fell in love with it. After our cake, we wiped our faces and got up from the table.

"OK, Sweetie", Mommy said, "You need to get to bed. Do you want to sleep with me?"

"Yes, please", I said. Mommy picked me up, put me on her back, and carried me to her bedchamber. Once we got to the bedchamber, we got into the bed. Mommy draped her huge wing over me like a blanket.

"Goodnight, Mommy", I said.

"Goodnight, Sweetie", Mommy said.
