Nightmare Night

  "Why? Why in the name Tartarus its self do we have to go to-?" A dark blue Pegasus colt turned to a red Pegasus mare, "what is it called again puny-vile?" The Pegasus rolled her eyes,

"it's Pony -ville smart Alec," she snapped at him, "aren't you supposed to be the Celestia damned book worm? I mean you've been asking what it's called through the whole ride Striker!"

"Yeah dude, you got to chill!" a bronze colored earth pony colt told him, the colt had a blue mane and tail (which was streaked with dark grey) and he was wearing blue shades tinged with bronze, The Pegasus scowled,

  "Chill? Seriously dude?!" he growled angrily raising his volume, he would have rose in the air if he didn't forget to oil his wing brace's. "We're freaking being sent to a town where ever pony freaking hates us, and supposed to make bloody friends?" several other passengers got up from their seats and moved far way from Striker and his friends. He proably looked really cool with his Mohawk, not that he cared. "Oh, and how am I the book worm? Sure I've read some books on Wonder bolt history but-"

  "Striker shut up, your making a scene." A bright bluish-purple unicorn snapped at Striker, glaring at him with a severely annoyed expression on his face.

   "And stop using curses and insults from the hairless monkey world, it makes you look like a lunatic!" a dark purple alicorn informed him calmly, as if he constantly told of other ponies for spouting curses from alternative universe's. He looked strange, int the pink, yellow and extremely colorful background. His face was expressionless, However with with green yes ans slits for pupils he looked like he was considering whether to kill Striker or not. Dang that guy is creepy ... Striker thought,they were friends but Blue moon still unnerved him sometimes.

   "Look Blue Moon dude, the curses in the hairless monkey world is way more insulting then hay or Celestia damn it, or anything these ponies have come up with!" Striker protested, feeling calmer, being scared of somepony helps when you want to calm down, but it didn't apply Striker, of course not! He wasn't scared of the alicorn glaring at him with murderous intent, just ... mildly cautious. Blue Moon rolled his eyes and turned away, staring out through the window.

"Dude, come on! Why are you always so quiet? Striker asked the alicorn, "oh, and why are you always wearing that helmet?"

  "Technically it's a helm." Striker turned to the dark pink mare who had contradicted him, he rolled his eyes.

  "Seriously? It's totally a-" the bluish-purple unicorn cut him off,

   "Dude, just shut up, please."  he snapped a Striker, who just grinned,

  "Sure Starry! He teased, "I'll shut up ma-" he saw Blue Moon glare at him, "uh, I mean dude." he corrected himself, grinning sheepishly. He looked around the room for someone to annoy-er talk too. He saw the Mic Beat with silver rimmed, blue-tinged with bronze shades nodding his head his head and muttering something like, Discord I want my muffin back! Okay he probably was saying the gimme the muffin back part but he was mumbling Discord! over and over again.

  The train suddenly shuddered to a halt, the door at the front of the train slid open, the commissioner pony walked in,

  "alright, ponyvile! Anyone gettin' off?" he demanded.

"Yup!" a red Pegasus replied to the conductor then everypony present stood up, gathered there belongings and walked towards the exit. They got off the train to find six other ponies waiting there for them, a pink earth pony ( who was hopping two meters into the air) suddenly raced toward them.

  "Omygosh,omygosh,omygosh! I can't believe it, seven new ponies in one day? How cool is that?" she said all of that without pausing to take a breath, and she didn't gasp for breath afterwards. I'm impressed, Striker thought,She's even more ADHD then *I** am!*

  A brown earth pony (who had just walked out of one of the train doors) smiled at a yellow on whose face was almost completely covered by her light pink mane, she threw her hoof over the shy one, "hey cousin! How's it going? Make any new friends?" she asked eyeing the four ponies who were watching the scene and smiling at the yellow Pegasus.

   "Um ... well, know that you mention it ... yeah." She said it, barely audible,

  " Doormat." Striker muttered under his breath so only his unicorn friend and Blue Moon could hear, "seriously guys, I can't believe those two are related!" Blue Moon was impassive but the unicorn was snickering, " so, is being antisocial part of the family or what?" The unicorn stop trying to mask his laughter and chortled away clutching his gut like it hurt from all the laughing he was doing and Blue Moon actually cracked a small smile. Striker felt elated, he had actually got Mr. Antisocial to smile, I knew I could break him eventually! I mean the dude acts like he's at a funeral *every freaking day!*

   "What are ya'll a' laughing at?" they turned to see an orange pony  frowning at them,

    "nothing!" Striker told her with an unconvincing look of innocence, the earth pony's frown deepened.

   "Well, then ya'll obviously heard what Twilight hear just said right?" she asked clearly not buying Striker show of innocence, a lavender unicorn ( who, guessing by the way she was frowning at them, was Twilight)

  "I'm going to tell you again," surprisingly Twilight sounded only mildly irritated, I have failed! Striker thought grinning But I'll get her to crack, just  wait!"Nightmare Night is today so you better get some rest. You'd be welcome to stay at my place if you like!" Twilight smiled know that she had their undivided attention, Blue Moon shrugged.

  "I'm fine with it." he told her with his usual I really don't care expression. Twilight smiled at him,

   "Okay, what about the rest of you?" they all shrugged and said sure,

   "no thanks, I'll be staying with my cousin here." the earth pony gestured to Fluttershy,  Twilight looked surprised,

   "Didn't Fluttershy tell you? were all having a sleep over!" the earth pony turned to Fluttershy,

    "What's the matter Flutter's? Why didn't you tell me?" she asked , Fluttershy blushed.

   "Well, um, I ... I was going to tell you but ..." she trailer off blushing fiercely, "I sort of ... well, you know ... forgot. Sorry Iron Hammer." Iron Hammer? Striker thought, that doesn't sound like a girl's name, maybe it is thought, considering this is a whacked out alternative universe!. Iron Hammer smiled at Fluttershy,

  "that's alright, no biggie." she reassured Fluttershy, who looked grateful her cousin hadn't gotten angry at her.

  "So you came come over too? This slumber party is going to be great!"  Twilight practically squealed, Striker rolled his eyes.

   "Great isn't always what comes to mind at filly-colt slumber parties, awkward yes, but great? Not so much." he muttered to his friends, who all nodded their heads in agreement except for Blue Moon who stood quietly staring at the moon. Striker realized what he just said,

   "whoa, man I'm sorry I forgot ..." Striker quickly apologized, Blue Moon shrugged,

    "no big deal." He replied, thought his tone told Striker otherwise. But before Striker could say anything to make him feel better ( not that he knew anything about Blue Moon let alone what would make him feel better) the pink pony screamed, leaping five meters into the air.

   "Oh my gosh! Nightmare night sleepover, welcome to ponyvile party, yay! " Shut up, please I need to get some sleep. Blue Moon thought, luckily Twilight cut her off,

   "Pinkie! They just got here, they must be tired, we can't have a party today!" She snapped at the pink pony, who defied all known laws of physics and paused mid jump, then floated down.

   "Awww...." she complained , "why not today? They can rest after the party silly!" Twilight frowned at her,

   "because then there'll all be sleepy and won't have a good time at all!" she snapped at  Pinkie, who had her chin on her hoof like The Thinker, "Hmmm ..."  Then suddenly a light bulb appeared over her head,

  "I got it! A great idea!" she announced dramatically, "I've decided to postpone the party for tomorrow!" And with that she zoomed away, a blur of color. Striker blinked,

   "okay ... I've had my fair share of weird adventures -" he began, the unicorn glared at him,

   "what weird adventures?" he demanded frowning, Striker raised an eyebrow,

   "need I remind you Starry, about the time-" the unicorn cut him off.

   "That was one adventure! Where did the others come from?" he glared at Striker, " and my names Galaxy Star no Starry! Galaxy Star, remember the name!"

   Striker grinned, "yeah remember the name! we talking ten percent luck, twenty percent skill-" Lightning wing cut him off.

   "Um, guys we need to get going." Lightning Wing told them pretending to be exasperated but couldn't help grinning all the same, " you can argue later, but the rest of us rather have a slumber party." the others nodded, except for Iron Hammer,

   "Speak for yourself, I'm enjoying this!" She protested , Lightning Wing glared at her, "I mean, yeah we need to get going and stuff ..." she corrected grinning.

   "Alright then." Twilight said in a cross voice, "then let's go." She turned around and heading home with roughly seven ponies following her, I feel like were forgetting someone, Galaxy Star thought. Eh, must be my imagination. After a couple steps they heard somepony call out,

  "Hey! Guys wait up!"  Galaxy star turned to see the bronze earth pony he saw in the train running towards them, when he finally caught up he gasped,

  "dude-gasp-what the- gasp - hell? You were going to leave without me?" he demanded angrily, thought they couldn't see his eyes through his shades Galaxy star suspected he was glaring at them,

  "sorry Mic Beat, we were kinda preoccupied and your pretty hard to notice because you hardly talk at all." Galaxy apologized scratching, well rubbing cause he didn't have fingers. Mic Beat sighed,

  "fair enough lets go." Striker stared grinning does this kid ever get upset for longer than a minute? that was one of the things Striker liked about Mic, he never holds a grudge. So he can tease him without pissing him off, oh that and he always had great music with him.

Everypony else just starred, Mic glared at them. "Well? What are you looking at? lets go!" and so they did, all of them running as fast they could, ( except for Fluttershy, she was slowly flying after them.)
