A Beautiful But Scary Effect
I will state my name and what I am and my personally (or what everypony thinks of me). My name is Ice Star and I tend to behave like a stereotypical upper-class individual, often looking down upon others with boredom, arrogance, snobbery and apathy, and I hated my vampire urges. I am also a Vampony in case you didn’t get that. Well might as well start explaining what happened today. It started on a day like any other. I didn’t have anything to do so I thought of an idea. As long as I had nothing better to do I might as well go mess with Reaper. He has a red coat and a light gray mane. He’s a carefree, arrogant type of guy who does not care for anything. Well I believe I’ve explained myself well enough so now back to the story. I walk into the store and see him. I walked up to him and said,
“Good morning, Reaper. As foolish as always, I see.”
“Gah! Freakin’ blood-sucker! What are you doing here?” He asked surprised.
I rolled by eyes and said,
“What a silly question. Why should I tell you why I do anything? Must I always tell you my whereabouts now?”
He seemed flustered. I didn’t look at him as I finished my question.
“No...of course not...but…” He said concerned.
I let out a sigh as he said that. It was then I noticed a girl behind him. She was wearing a coat so I couldn’t see what she looked like. He let out a sigh just as I stopped looking at her.
“...You are such a slow creature. ...No, creature is too kind. Something even lower then that... Barely even a form of life.” I said annoyed.
“What the hell, Blood-sucker?!” He yelled.
“You see? You yell back so quickly. They say the weaker the pony, the more it will yell, But even that could not account for the noise you make. Wouldn’t you agree?” I asked calmly.
“What the hell?! ...Although you seem to be in rare form today.” He said.
I ignored his response and it was then I decided to ask,
“...And? Who is she?”
“Huh? What do you mean who’s...” He said abruptly.
It was then he looked down at the girl. She sits in front of him, eating some flowers. My eyes thin to menacing slits. It was then I noticed she seemed rather young which brought about my own curiously: What was he doing with this young filly?
“Um... It’s Kelly...uh… I mean now, she’s...”
“It’s Scarlet.” She said Intrupping him.
“Oh? I see. Then you are a pedophile after all.” I said with a cold tone.
His eyes open surprised at what I said.
“WHOA! Where the hell did that come from?!” He yelled.
I smiled but not to where he could notice.
“I’m sorry, but when I see a spade- or in this case, a pedophile—I call it such. Oh! Perhaps you don’t know what that word means. A pedophile , you see, is a man who likes-“
“You suck!” Scarlet said interrupting me.
“Scarlet, that was totally uncalled f-“ Said a random voice.
“Hey, I just call them like I see them. Hehehe. Are you... JEALOUS?” She said laughing maniacally.
I just looked at her but not an ounce of anger came from me. I wasn’t affected by this nor did I care. It seems Reaper could not help but notice the expression that creeped across my delicate features. He thinks that he was going to see some blood but rest assured that was not going to be the case. It was then an idea came to mind.
“Ah, yes! Reaper. I have a present for you.” I said smiling.
Huh? A present?!” He asked confused.
“If you would be so kind as to close your eyes for a moment...” I said kindly.
“Hell no! Celestia knows what you’re going to do! And besides... anything from you probably wouldn’t be worth having...” He said coldly.
“Well I never! Hah!” I said with a smirk.
With a graceful chop of my hoof, I rushed behind him and strike the back of his neck. His eye’s roll back in his head, and consciousness leaves him. I look down at him and said,
“I’m rather bored, Reaper. I believe I’ll play with you a little to pass the time.”
I twirl away from the slumbering fool and leaps atop the table. The filly (Or rather Scarlet) laughed hysterically. I draw a pair of elegant spectacles from the folds of my bag and place them on Reaper. My grin is one of satisfaction. It is not pleasant.
“Moonshadow!” I called.
He teleported behind me.
“I am here, madam.” He answered.
“Explain to him, as you would to a child.” I requested.
Well before he starts explaining I may as well explain who he is as well. He is my butler and he usually acts in a sophisticated and gentlemanly manner. Judging from comments frequently dropped by me. He follows my orders whenever I ask. When we meet is none of your business. Oh well enough talk about me back to what he is going to say.
“But of course, milady. I don’t wish to appear arrogant, or presumptuous, but please allow me to explain. The item that Madam Ice Star has placed upon the insect Reaper are the legendary or if you want, GOL and a powerful magical item they are indeed. Their effect will spread quickly thought out all of Equestria, and soon, no matter where Reaper may try to hide, The power of the Glasses Of Love will exert their power over others. Everypony, even those who hated him, will come to love him. That... is the dreadful power of the Glasses Of Love. The Power Of Love were crafted so perfectly, In times of yore, that the pony wearing them will not even feel their presence and will never know that they have become the bearer of such a powerful artifact. ” He said calmly.
“Very nicely said.” I said praising him.
“You are to kind, madam.” He said.
“With a deep bow, he teleported out into the darkness. I stomped my hoof once and the fool jolts back to consciousness. He gasped as he came to.
“Wh-what just happened? Did I get hit by a cart or something…?” He said struggling with words.
I giggled and responded,
“Why, whatever do you mean, Reaper? What foolishness.”
It was then Scarlet looked down but he didn’t seem to notice at first.
“Yeah. I guess you’re right... Huh? Scarlet, what’s up with you? Why are you looking down?
“Oh? It seems that her heart is racing.” Said the random voice.
I didn’t notice before but I just realized where it was coming from. It was from Scarlet but it wasn’t her. I shrugged it off as I was having too much fun messing with him.
“Your face is bright red. Did you eat something funny?” He asked abit concerned.
“Sh-Shut up, dumbass! I’m...not… red!” She said looking down.
“Well suit yourself. If you’re running a fever or have a stomachache, just stay the hell away from me. I don’t want to catch anything you have.” He said smiling.
“What?! How can you be so insensitive, you jackass? Saying mean things like that to me! You’re so mean, Reaper! You suck! WHAAAAA!” She yelled staring to crying.
Her eyes suddenly began to fill with tears.
“Whoa, Hold on a sec! What’s with all the crying?” He asked shocked.
“Oh! Oh! You made her CRY, you cruel man ,you!” I said jokingly.
“Me?” He said shocked.
She continued to cry as I said that.
“Hey, Kyle! What you waiting for? Do something!” He demanded.
“Umm...I don’t think there’s anything I can do.” He responded.
Oh I see now. That explains why I heard two voices in one body. She has another soul in her body. Interesting... anyways back to what’s going on.
“Why are you asking like this is none of your business?!” He demanded.
“Because... Well, you know... It’s not, really...”
“It’s your fault Reaper! You said mean things...! I hate you Reaper! I HATE YOU! I...I…I LOVE YOU!” She yelled.
“WHAAAAT?! W-Where the hell did THAT come from?!” He yelled surprised.
“Wow! Now I’m embareassed...” Kyle said looking down.
I laughed and said,
“Oh how delightful! They’re working PERFECTLY! None can resist the almighty power of the Glasses Of Love”
“Reaper! I Loves yoooou!” She said jumping on him.
“Gah! Stop! Don’t touch me!” He said trying to get her off.
Just then I got another idea just to spice things up.
“You, child. Do you truly love Reaper that much?” I asked.
“Yes! A thousand times, YES!” She yelled still jumping on him.
“Oh dear. That won’t do at all.” I told her.
“Why?!” She demanded.
“Why, Because He is simply head-over-heels in love with me, of course!” I told her.
It was a lie but it was a funny lie.
“WHAT?! Is that true?” She asked shocked.
“NO! And in case you missed it the first time, HELL NO! You twisted, evil, blood sucking Vampony! What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” He yelled.
“Oh come now, Reaper! No need to be shy. Just admit that you are my devoted servant!” I said joking.
“Who are you calling a servant?!” He yelled.
It was then I heard a voice by the entrance of the store. I looked back and saw three mares. As they entered one of them said,
“Rearper!”
“Is Reaper here?!”
“Reaper is here, isn’t he?”
I knew them well. One of them had a black mane with a light blue coat. She is an earth pony who owns a clinic nearby here and is a nurse. Her name is Fluffy Fire but for not wasting time we will just call her Fluffy. The other one name is Sapphire. She has a pink mane with a white coat. She doesn’t live close here but from my guess she was also drawn in by the Glasses Of Love. She loves to create and build machines. She Is a unicorn as well. Lastly we have Aqua Lilly but to make it easier, just call her Lilly. She is a Pegasus who is the weakest of the group. She has a dark blue mane with a light green coat. She tends to be the shy one but can assertive if she needs to be. Well now that I have explained everything, I won’t have to wait for questions. I hope that you can maintain the info I gave you though your sad mind because I really don’t want to have to explain it again. Now back to what happen. As they walked over where we are I just looked and said,
“My goodness, what an interesting collection of visitors.”
“There he is! Reaper’s over there!” Fluffy yelled point at him.
“You son of a bitch! You know how hard it was to find you?!” Sapphire yelled angrily.
“Just stay right there, Reaper!” Lilly said calmly.
“Wait a minute? What’s going on?!” He asked confused.
“Don’t worry, Reaper. Everything will be all right. Just drink this “Philter of Unwavering Passion”! Be sure to drink it all at once!” Fluffy told him as she grabbed a bottle.
She pressed it to Reaper’s mouth and as she did Lilly bit her wing and threw her what was once a part of her wing at the bottle.
“All right!” She yelled timely.
Fluffy didn’t like that so she turned her attention to Lilly and yelled,
“What do you think you’re doing, Lilly?! You just blasted my special medicine across the room!”
“I was going to ask you the same question, Miss Fluffy! How dare you make him such a shameless potion!” She said asserting herself.
“You’re still very much a child, Lilly! Sometimes love requires that one use a bit of... persuasion... to make him bloom.” She said with a smirk.
“L-Love?” Lilly asked blushing.
“Do I need to draw you a picture? I love Reaper!” She shouted.
Just then I heard a loud voice yell,
“WHAT DID YOU SAAAAAAAAAY?!”
I couldn’t tell where it came from but it didn’t seem to be very far considering that it sounded very close. I shrugged it off as did the other girls and as that ended, Sapphire asked,
“Huh? Did you hear that? Outside? It sounded like millions of voices cried out in anguish, and were suddenly silenced.”
“No. You’re probably just hearing things.” Fluffy said shaking her head.
“B-But...! No matter how much you love somepony, you can’t just drug them!” Lilly said blushing.
“Yes, of course. Medicine is completely off-limits! Terribly unfair. Here Reaper. Eat this candy. It’ll refresh your... uh... mouth.” Sapphire said looking in her bag.
As she looked in her bag, she grabbed the piece of candy. She gave it Reaper and he examined it.
“Oh...Thanks...” He said hesitating to eat it.
As he was about to eat it, Fluffy bucked the candy out of his hand. As she did, Reaper got it in the stomach. He laided there holding his stomach in pain.
“Oh my. An impressive strike. It seems the candy has been shattered. A shame.” I said still looking at the broken candy.
Sapphire was disappointed that her plan was stopped. I smiled a little as she did. Fluffy looked back at her and said,
“Professor, it seems that I can’t stop watching you for even a second...”
Just then Reaper got up still in pain and asked,
“Will SOMEPONY please tell me what’s going on?”
Fluffy turned her attention to Reaper and said,
“Reaper, the candy the professor just offered you contained a very, very, VERY powerful sleeping pill.”
He looked at Sapphire with a shocked look on his face. I thought that I heard a sound but nothing was there so I turned my eyes back to what was going on.
“You can’t be serious?!” He said angrily.
She chuckled as he said that. She turned her attention to the both of them and said,
“You saw right though me, Fluffy you fox. Yeah, that’s right. I put a sleeping pill in there. Oh, not just any sleeping pill! This shit would knock even Sombra out! It’s ah, Quite strong.
Reaper steeped back.
“You got to be kidding me?!” He said surprised.
“Miss Sapphire. What were you going to do to Mr. Reaper after you put him to sleep?” Lilly asked concerned.
What she says next may harm your brain so I’ll dumb it down so it will be easier though some words will be blanked out so it doesn’t become offensive. She first planed on taking his *ahem* plot and pit it in some chemicals. Then she would add a few more things into the *ahem* plot. After she was done with that she would rip off his *ahem* member (I do hope I don’t have to spell it out for you) and do some thinks that fan girls would love to see plus more. I know I’m breaking the fourth wall but it’s better than hearing the gruesome words she was say. Now that I have explained that, let us turn our attention back to what happen.
“WH-WH-WHAT?! How could you stoop so low? That’s... Totally unfair.” Lilly said blushing.
“Like I care. Keep dreaming, little girl. I’m going to make Reaper MINE.” She said with a grinning smile.
“He’s MINE!” Fluffy yelled in protest.
“Don’t speak of him as if he’s merely an object!” Lilly yelled.
Just then Scarlet jumped in. My goodness I completely forgot about her as I’m sure you did.
“Just shut the hell up, you skanky old hags!” She yelled.
They were shocked by what they heard so I will replay what they said. Fluffy said,
“Who are you calling an old hag?!”
Then Sapphire yelled,
“Oh, I had better not have just heard what I think I heard!”
But Lilly seemed to be the most shocked of the three.
“Me, an old hag?!” She said almost about to cry.
Just then Lilly wiped the tears away and said,
“I’ve had enough! I’m going to make one thing to all of you! Reaper... is already... is already MY husband!”
Reaper jumped by this and I was quite shocked by this but it didn’t faze me by much.
“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!” He yelled surprised.
I smiled and said,
“How dare you, Reaper! You could have me as your wife! Why?!”
He turned his attention to me and yelled,
“YOU, stay out of this! You’re just making things worse!”
“What the hell are you blabbering about, you shivered old prune? Explain yourself!” Scarlet demanded.
“I took the liberty of going to city hall and filing our marriage registration!” I am now OFFICIALLY Mrs. Reaper.” She said with the file in her hoof.
“MARRIAGE REGISTRATION?! How the hell did you do that?!” He yelled demanding an answer.
Sapphire rolled her eyes and said,
“Yeah, OK, fine. What about the seal? There’s no way in hell you’ve got Reaper’s stamp!”
“Oh, that... Well... I had a friend in the armament division make me one...” She answered calmly.
“What?! Doesn’t the guards at canterlot have more import things to be doing?!” He asked annoyed.
Just as he finished that sentence, three more guests broke one of the windows. I know two of them so I will tell you who they are. Her name is Dew. She doesn’t speak due to her voice box being destroyed. All of her hoofs were replaced with mechanical (Sapphire is to thank for that) She’s an earth pony with a dark purple coat and a yellow mane. She is known for being aggressive when provoked but is not a threat most of the time. I believe that’s enough explaining for that one. The next one is Mythic. She was created by Sapphire and follows her orders. She is a Pegasus but instead of wings, they were replaced with sword like wings (ask her if you want to know her story). She has a mask that covers her face but you can still see her mouth. She has a light gray armor along with her coat. Her mane is also yellow. Now on to the one I don’t know. She is an earth pony with a dark brown mane with a few light yellow strips. Her coat is a light brown color and she seems like a strong earth pony. Now I believe I have explained everything and I hope your small mind can hold that info. Now back to what’s going on.
“Oh my. It seems we can look forward to some, ah, interspacing mingling...” I said to Reaper.
“You’re Reaper? Wow! You’re so hot. Said the brown pony.
“Reaper located. Intense attraction... confirmed. Expression of love... initiated.” Mythic said calmly.
Dew didn’t say anything as they drew closer to Reaper. I just watched slightly annoyed that there are more ponies here. I didn’t feel like getting involved in the fray of these mares so I will explain what is happing step by step. The unknown earth pony and Mythic leaped at the victim Reaper, Crushing him beneath their supple, young bodies and the rest of them tried to get in the fray. He let out a muffled scream of agony.
“You... you... you shameless hussies! Need I remind you that Reaper is MY husband?!” Lilly said holding him.
Dew let go of Reaper and walked over to Lilly with cold, dead eyes, she grabbed the marriage certificate and ripped it apart. Then she slowly extends her arm in front of her. Her hoof opens dropping the shredded paper. Resting in the palm are the remnants of a slip of paper. All that is left of Lilly’s marriage certificate.
“NOOOOOOOO! My marriage registration!” She cried out.
Delightful! So they can even affect the most emotionless of ponies! The Glasses Of Love are more powerful than I could possibly imagine! It was then I notice Dew grabbed something from her mane and in her hoof. Gripped in her hand was a detonator.
“Oh my... is that... a detonator?” I asked her.
Her only answer is to depress the red button atop of it. The sound of explosions filled the air.
“Oh! Ah yes! The sweet sound of multiple explosives detonations! I love the smell of explosions in the morning! And I do believe they are coming from the direction of where Canterlot wedding was!” Sapphire said happily.
“WHAT?! No! I won’t be able to submit one of my duplicate marriage registrations!” Lilly yelled shocked.
“You actually had more of them?! You conniving little bitch!” Scarlet said angrily.
Fluffy walked up to the now crying Lilly and said,
“You got one of the guards to make you a fake seal... That’s pretty sad. Impressive... but sad."Fluffy said smirking .
“Analyzing subject. Dignity... undetectable. Likelihood of getting Reaper... below detectable parameter." Mythic said coldly.
“There’s no way that Reaper could possibly fall for somepony like Lilly. She’s not even an adult yet.” Said the brown pony.
“Wh-Why is everypony ganging up on me? It’s so unfair... It’s just that... I... feel in love with Reaper.” Lilly said still crying.
It was then I heard somepony at the front door and it wasn’t somepony I was expecting that’s for sure.
“Excuse me, but what did you just say…?” Said a random voice.
“Sky?!” Reaper asked surprised.
Well this is both unexpected and pleasing. Its Reaper’s younger brother. I guess I’ll have to explain him as well. He has a dark yellow mane with a dark blue coat. He is a unicorn who also works at Canterlot alongside Lilly. His obsession with Reaper is rather... Unsettling to say the least. It is not my place to judge nor do I care but it is still unsettling regardless...
“You seem to be surrounded by a great number of beautiful women. Perhaps you can explain the meaning of all this...” He asked angrily.
“Hey! Not you too?! And what’s with your eyes? They’re... heart-shaped…?!” He asked stepping back.
What madness is this? Is sexual preference a little more than a simple bump on the road for the Glasses Of Love?! ... Although in the ultimate analysis, I rather doubt his feelings towards Reaper required much... modification. As he stepped closer to us, He seemed to get angrier with each step.
“You horrible pack of harpies, don’t you dare touch my brother! Get out of my way, or I’ll cut you all to pieces! He demanded.
He drew his sword and pointed it to us which means one thing... He has the intent to kill. My danger sense springs to life, and I jumped out the nearest window I saw. Not a moment too soon. As I saw the place covered in ice, it ruffled my perfect bangs. What I saw in front of me is neither love, nor hate, nor obsession... Merely an icicle of what was once a store. Don’t worry they aren’t dead they are simply frozen is all they will indeed thaw out eventually. As I turned my back on the place , I noticed the Glasses that were the source of the problem. Although I started this, I couldn’t help but get the feeling that it was more than that. I glared at them but in the end I decided to pick them up that was resting near my hoof. With a bit of hesitation I pick them up. The Glasses Of Love... A powerful item indeed... They can work their powers on mares and stallions of all ages... But wait. Why, then, did they not affect me? Was it possible that I liked him from the start? No... It couldn’t be. Why would I like that despicable, foolish, stupid and, uncaring of a man? I shrugged it off and put the glasses over my eyes. The icy I see though the Glasses Of Love is a little frightening, a little, beautiful , and a little bittersweet...
