Having Fun

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

A/N: Another day, another chapter. Expect some concept from long ago when the series was coming out, but it is how it is. Plus, it fits in with the ideas I have.

Well our friends are going to have some rest and relaxation at a resort. Let's hope nothing bad happens…I just jinxed it, didn't I?

Disclaimer: I don't own anything I don't own.

"Speaking"

'Thoughts'


The destination to The Four Seasons was still a day away and everypony was having fun…well as fun as it could be on a train. Yet, that isn't a problem for Pinkie Pie. In the first class hall she has set up streamers and balloons for the 'First Big Vacation Ever' party. Luckily since Primus has taken out the whole first class the first class area of the train was all theirs…that and Primus hated the stuck up snobs.

Celestia hummed as her eyes scanned the menu for breakfast. 'Daffodil sandwich or the hay fries?' She pondered.

Next to her Nightmare is doing the same thing. Surprisingly she forgo the armor as she didn't want to scare everypony in sight. She sighs and places menu down after thinking of choosing the hay fries. After all, she wants to catch up like Luna is, so she wants to eat the foods of the era. She looks across the table seeing Luna having a hard time picking out a meal while Primus and Chrysalis is right next to her…kissing. Looks like Chrysalis has her meal for the morning.

Primus and Chrysalis separate, leaving Chrysalis slightly uneasy and wobbly. She had taken maybe a bit too much for her body to handle. Usually she would be acting like royalty, but this a drunk act.

Primus turns to his menu when he finished giving Chrysalis her meal. He decides to get both and be done with it, for some reason he's hungrier than usual.

The waiter came by, a mare that is dressed in waiter clothes…that's a first for anypony…anypony except Primus, to take their order. Celestia went with the daffodil sandwich, Nightmare went with hay fries, and Luna picks out hay fries too while Primus orders both. The waiter than went to the next table where Twilight and Spike sat alone, with Twilight resting her head on Spike's shoulder. The rest of the group is over at another large table fit for a large party.

The whole dining room is what you except for a fancy five-star restaurant. The only thing that offset it was Pinkie's doing. She had lined the molding with different colored streamers, the whole designer ceiling which depicted the whole map of Equestria was blocked with balloons of bright colors, and the once expensive carpet flooring with the design of the history of the princesses in segmented blocks is covered in confetti. Going over the whole look of the car it looks like a foal's birthday should be here. Primus is surprised that the employees didn't kicked them out for this.

The waiter took all of the menus in the room away and went into kitchen to get the meals. After she left the whole room is filled with chatter of various things. Primus just tunes it out and looks out the window to see the moving landscape. The forest trees are a blur as the train kept moving at high speeds. Just then Primus feels nauseous and looks back the area in front of him while still keeping the window in his sight. When he feels more nauseous he pushes Luna back into the seat and gets up. The others watch in worry as Primus starts to walk unsteadily to the bathroom. When he reaches the door he pulls it open almost to the point of breaking it inside the wall. He goes in closing the door behind him with a slam. He leans over the sink panting heavily. Primus reaches for the knob handle as his vision start to blur in and out. When he turns the handle the nauseous feeling becomes stronger and more potent. The hot water steamed the mirror above the sink as Primus reaches for the water to splash himself. When the water washes over him the blurriness was gone and he is met with the sight of the running sink.

Primus sighs out deeply and feels his nausea going away. He looks up in the mirror to see what else may have happened. Primus suddenly backs away and hits the wall as he sees a foal reaching out for him in the mirror image. The empty sockets where the eyes are and bleeding out. The image screamed 'Help Me.' Primus felt like his heart could jump out of his chest. He places a hoof over his chest as a comforting way of keeping it there. Yet it did nothing to quell the fears that growing inside of him.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Primus, are you alright in there?"

Primus opens the door and looks outside to see Celestia with a worried expression. "What wrong? You look like you seen a ghost."

Primus is finally able to calm his breathing and looks at the mirror again. The only thing there is the mirror reflection of the room. "You're not far off Celly."

Celestia looks past him to see the mirror. She doesn't see anything out of the ordinary. "Well, the food has arrived. I just came to tell you that."

Primus nods hesitantly. "Yeah, food sounds good right now." Primus walks outside and shuts the door close, all the while staring at the mirror.


Breakfast went along quietly as Primus can't get the foal's bleeding image out of his head. The others watch on in worry as Primus eats much slower than usual. His memories went by quickly as he searched for that specific foal. A ghost coming by for revenge. He searches his memories on today's date and comes up with nothing. Every other memory is a total flop as he couldn't find anything about that foal.

'Calm down Primus. You're probably just overthinking things.' He thought to himself. Maybe it was a coincidence. Celestia did show him the foal's head she got in the mail so it probably just remained him of what's going on out there. But he also knew that he can't think straight if all of his mind was filled with trouble only. The vacation is the only way to get rid of it all and start fresh.

As they finished they all decided to go back to their cabins to enjoy some of the time passing by. Twilight and the others are playing some party games and for some reason, invited Primus to join and not the mares back in his cabin. Right now they are all playing spin the bottle and it is Rarity's turn.

"Rarity, truth or dare?" Pinkie asks eagerly.

"Truth." Rarity answers.

Pinkie hmmms as she places a hoof to her chin. "Have you ever…hmmm…have you ever made a horrible dress?"

Rarity's eyes widened and then darted back forth between them all. Finally she sighs and bends her head down. "Yes." She then spins the bottle. It lands on Primus as stops spinning. "Truth or dare?"

"Dare." Primus likes challenges.

Rarity thinks of something as her expression suddenly brightens up. "I dare you to change yourself into a mare."

Pinkie, Rainbow, and Spike spit takes their fruit drink, splashing everypony in the room, at the notion at that. Twilight stood up and shakes her herself. Then she glares at Rarity. "Are you crazy? What makes you think that Primus will do that?" She then feels a hoof on her shoulder. She looks up to see Primus shaking his head.

Primus gets a small blade out from under his wing and slices his hoof. The blood seeps downward to above his stomach lighting up a blood ward. The red light engulfs him as his features changed. Primus became slender and a little taller. His mane came down longer and fuller along with his tail. His head changed into a more slender form as the change became complete. The light faded and there stood Tera, the second form of Primus. Everypony in the room were shell-shocked. There is a female Primus standing in the room with them.

Tera looks to her hoof and places it in a little water bowl nearby. She hisses as the water touches the wound. She then takes it out and shakes off the excess water. Tera lays down for the rest of the game. "Let's keep going." Her voice came out like a soothing angel waiting to hold you.

Twilight is the first to shake herself out of her stupor. She lifts a hoof and pokes at Tera's side. "Please don't poke me. I can assure you that I'm very real." Twilight starts stammering like an idiot. "You want to see my mare parts?" Tera said in a desperate attempt to shut them up.

"NO!" Everypony said.

Tera holds her hooves to her ears as the yell reaches them. "Please don't do that." She then removes them and sees Twilight with her hoof raised.

Tera points to Twilight for her question. "What advantages do your mare side have?"

Tera smiles sweetly. "An excellent question. You see, on some missions I have to seduce a stallion or mares in some cases. I don't really go far because this is a real mare's body. Celestia and Luna already knows about this and they're fine. The only downside is when I have to stay in this body for so long. The heat cycle is bitch to me."

Tera's eyes widen when she sees Twilight with a notepad. "Amazing, a real mare's body. This will definitely help with gender changing spells."

Tera shakes her head before spinning the bottle and changing back to Primus. The bottle landed on Pinkie. "Pinkie, truth or dare?"

Pinkie snorted and giggled. "Truth, silly."

Primus smirks. "Tell us how your Pinkie Sense works."

Pinkie giggles. "I don't have an answer to that, because I don't know it myself. They just come." She said as her tail twitches. "Twitchy tail!"

Everypony takes cover under the bed or blankets they have, except Primus. Primus looks up and sees the ceiling. He sees nothing wrong with that and turns back to the others. "I doubt that anything will happen." A few chips of plaster bounces off his head as he said that. He looks up again and sees a crackly circle form on the ceiling above him. He then looks at the rest of ponies in the room. "I hate seers when they're right."

CARSH

"Ow."


Primus walks back to his cabin as steadily as he could. Chips of plaster stuck to his coat were falling piece by piece to the ground. A fresh coat of white powder covered his whole body, making his seem like a ghost from far away.

Opening the door to his cabin he walks in as best he could, like nothing happened. The mares in the room were all shock at what happened to Primus. Celestia opens her mouth to speak…

"Twitchy tail."

Those two words from Primus enough to give them an answer. Pinkie's Pinkie sense is well known around Ponyville. Even the princesses would listen when it happens.

Primus sighs and walks out in the hall again to head to the bathroom to wash every length of plaster off. Not before saying, "I'll pay for the destroyed ceiling."

The walk through the hall seems long to Primus as he pondered on what to do. Already the trip is starting to look like a disaster and they haven't reached the resort. He didn't even notice the door as he walks right into it and bangs his head. Rubbing a hoof on his forehead he opens the door and steps inside.

The bathroom seemed nothing special. Tiles all over to clean with high powered water just in case of a breakout, a simple toilet, sink and small shower fitted the corners of the room. Almost like a shower room, except smaller. Walking to the shower and turning it on Primus steps inside. Scrubbing himself roughly, with the soap found inside, he washes away the plaster. Primus's mind is so concentrated with cleaning himself, he didn't notice the door opening.

Hoof steps stop right outside the curtain blocking the shower from view. Primus looks to the curtain and notices a figure's shadow on the curtain. He pulls the curtain back to reveal Nightmare…wait, what?

"Nightmare, what are you doing here? Can't you see I'm showering?" Primus just stands there facing her as said that.

Nightmare reaches inside and grabs the bottle of shampoo. Squeezing out some of the mixture she places it on Primus's head. She then places the bottle where it was and starts to rub the soapy substance into his mane. "The others sent me here to help you. I don't know why because you can take care of yourself. Maybe because they hope to make me like you." Nightmare hypothesized.

Primus stands there while Nightmare scrubs his mane and coat…hard. "Nightmare, watch it." Primus grunts in displeasure.

"Sorry." Is her only reply.

The scrubbing continues as Nightmare got all over Primus. And when I say all over, I mean all over. The cleaning left both of them blushing from when Nightmare started to scrub below him. Primus washes himself off and gets rid of the soapy shampoo that is all over him.

Nightmare looks at her hooves on the ground as she goes over the last few minutes. The one thing that came to mind is the hard muscles underneath Primus's coat. The coat may hide it all, but Primus is one though stallion. His mane is soft that Nightmare could have sworn that she was touching a cloud. She feels a tap on her shoulder that makes her snap out of her thoughts. She looks over to Primus who has a towel around his neck, water dripping from his mane and tail.

Nightmare cheeks turn red, although hard to see because of her dark black coat. Primus only chuckles and walks out, tail swinging behind him. Nightmare blush's kept her warm…or maybe that's the steam from the shower…and made her tail swish behind her without her knowing it. It wasn't until Nightmare is able to replace those thoughts of Primus's body…not that she could. She shakes her head to get rid of those thoughts and yet, it isn't working.


The rest of the train ride went by uneventful. The train started to get into the property of the Four Season and as such they traveled through the outside of the four seasons of the area. The whole group looks outside in awe and wonder, except for Rarity who was giggling like a mad mare. Primus still sat in his seat swiping from his drink, acting calmly as ever. The train passes through the winter area first and as such the air inside the train turned iced cold. Everypony shivered and huddled amongst themselves then lets out a sigh of relief as the air became warmer as the train travels through the spring and summer. But as the train travels the summer everypony starts to pant and sweat then felt another wave of relief as the train hits the fall section.

Twilight looks outside and sees how the tracks passes through the season. Then a thought came to her, "Why the atmosphere inside the train changed that much when it was only a hundred feet each. That doesn't make sense." She thought out loud.

Primus looks up from the book he got in the time they passed through the seasons. "Are you really going to question that?"

Twilight pulls her head back in and turns to him. She opens her mouth, but then closes it as she thinks over the answer to the world. "Your right. Maybe I should let some questions go unanswered."

The train slows down as it reaches the station and everypony starts to get their bags from their cabins. Primus steps out first and sees the lush landscape of the spring land. He sees the resort near the ocean's edge and in half the summer area and half the spring area. He starts to walk to the resort to get their rooms while the others get their bags and follow him.

The resort is covered in the brightest colors on the color wheel, lots of different types of trees and flower beds. The flower bed and trees are laid out as such that it would mimic the royal gardens, minus the statues. There is a tall mountain in the winter area for the snow and give everypony a chance at a winter wonderland, with sports. The fall looked like the running of the leaves trail with almost all the leaves on the ground. The summer stayed in the mostly in the beach area as everypony wants a dip in the ocean at summertime. The spring hosted a bunch of blooming flowers and animals that went about their day. If they called this a magical retreat, they're not far off.

Primus and the rest of the group walks through the walkway for the main entrance that looks like a private mansion entrance than a public place. The others took their time and look around, taking in all the sights and smells of the resort. Pushing open the door of the ten story building made them take in the five style interior. Primus looks to a bellhop that is also a receptionist. The slivery mane and tail, with a light blue coat of fur, sporting a blue horn as well.

"Greetings and welcome to the Four Seasons. I assume that you have a reservation." The tinkling voice said, with a bit of roughness.

Twilight kept walking until her eyes landed on the receptionist. "Trixie?" She said bewildered.

Trixie eyes traveled downward until she looks at Twilight. "Twilight Sparkle. I didn't know that you would be here." Her voice carried longing.

Twilight tried to wrap her brain around this. "What are you doing here?"

Trixie sighs. "After I left Ponyville I went to find work and luckily this place decided to take me in." Her eyes went to Twilight's. "I'm just glad to see a familiar face again." Trixie smiles slightly.

Twilight smiles back the same way. "Good to see you too."

Trixie holds the smile and turns back to Primus. "I assume that everything is under your name?" Primus nods and gives his name. Trixie looks through the books and finds the whole party at the bottom. "Taking a large group, I see." She pulls out some keys with her purple magic. "If you follow me."

Everypony follows her as she walks up the stairs to their rooms, located on the eight floor. When they come in the hall they are greeted by a cleaning mare and stallion bellhop. Trixie waves back and comes up to their rooms at the end of the hall.

Turing to the large group she said, "These are your rooms. Take your pick on which ever you except for this key." She hold up a key meant for the door at the end of the hall. "This is for Primus."

Everypony starts to take a key and go to their rooms to unpack. Twilight take her key, her magic aura touching Trixie's a bit, sending a shiver down her spine. She looks to Trixie who has a sincere smile. Twilight surprises her with a hug that caught her breath. "I happy that we're friends Trixie."

Trixie tears welled up and came cascading down her face. She is always happy when she held by a true friend. She hugs Twilight back and nuzzles into her neck. "Me too."

Twilight reluctantly lets go and walks to her room door. She takes one last look at Trixie. "Maybe we can hang out later?"

Trixie nods her head. "It's a date."

With that, Twilight walks inside with Spike following close behind. The door finally closed Trixie sighs heavily and looks down at her hooves. "If only you knew Twilight." Trixie walks off back to the front desk and prepares for more guests.


The snow covered ground stayed still as more snow covered it. The snowflakes of the sky meet the ground as the everlasting snowfall continued. A little ball of snow came rolling down as a rumble came on and it only got stronger. Then a solid piece of wood went flying past, sending the snow in a wake of waves. Loud yelps and whoops came from the pieces of wood as they flew past, making snow tumble behind them.

Preforming a flip, Rainbow lands perfectly and kept sliding down after a jump. Her rainbow style board kept the speed going with aerodynamics in its making. Primus comes up behind and performs a triple flip. He held a holding pose in the air and then came crashing down on the path. He looks to Rainbow as they sip past tress and rocks jutting out of the ground.

Down at the base of the mountain everypony that came with Primus sat in waiting for the two competitors return, cheering for whoever they want. Trixie sat at a table, chatting with Twilight about recent outcomes…with the most noticeable ones.

"I still can't believe that you became a princess." Trixie said to her bewildered. "I mean I read the newspaper, but I just passed it off as a joke."

Twilight giggled, sending her bell-like noise outward. "You should see the tabloids that I have." She brings a few from her bag that she set right beside her. "Who is the Princess Twilight lucky stallion? Will she bring even more peace than Celestia and Luna? Come on."

Trixie grabs a magazine from the pile. She ticks her mouth at the animosity of Twilight's image. "They never get the real thing right." She shows the picture to Twilight. "Your coat is not this shade of purple. The horn is blunt, not sharp. And your mane has two tones, not one." Trixie said as she points to every wrong part of the image. She looks at the image a little closer and recoils back. "Even your wing feathers don't match each other."

Twilight raises an eyebrow at Trixie's showing. "You know that much about me?"

Trixie grew red as a tomato when she realizes her mistake. "I uhh…I mean…" She sighs and slams her head down on the table, not even bothering to look at Twilight. "You probably think that I'm some kind of stalker now, don't you?"

Twilight brings a hoof up to hide some of her blush. "Not really. It's just the only other pony out there that appreciates me this much is Spike."

Trixie brings her head up a little. "The little dragon that I accidently turn into a basketball?" Twilight nods. "Sorry about that."

Twilight shakes her head and wave a hoof at her. "Think nothing of it Trixie."

Unbeknownst to them, Spike watches the conversation from afar. His jealously grew as the has-been magician is talking to his lover. Celestia sees the way Spike is looking at them as and decides to intervene before things got hot. She walks up to Spike and places a hoof on his shoulder, making him turn his head at her. The sun goddess stares at Spike with her famous stare down, making Spike get a little scared.

His jealously now ebbing away he can now think clearly. He sighs and look to the two mares again. "I just worry about Twilight."

Celestia nods slightly as she still worry for her student. "I know you do. Yet, the relationship with another is a hard one. You can either lose them to somepony else or gain another."

Spike did a double take. "What did you say?"

Celestia looks down at Spike sorrowfully. "I'm sure that she won't forget you. Now let them enjoy their reunion."

"I know that I had to stay away for a bit until called upon."

Celestia lets out a un-princess-like yelp as Spike also jumps into the air a bit. They look behind them to see Primus leaning against his board. "I should find a way to make you make that noise again Celestia." He chuckles a bit and leans his head to where Twilight and Trixie sat. "Looks like Trixie is back and I bet a thousand bits that Twilight falls for her, while still falling for Spike here."

Celestia looks up to the mountain to see another Primus and Rainbow still coming down. Then looks to the one in front of her. "How did you…?" She points with her hoof to the mountain side.

Primus chuckles deeply as he chose his words. "I wanted to have some fun, but so did Amy."

Both Celestia and Spike look at each other than back at Primus. "Who's Amy?" They both ask.

"Oh." He pulls the cloak he was wearing and shows his back. The large blood ward on it shining brightly. "Amy is the dragon that appeared at the fair. She wants to get out from time to time so I let her take the form of me."

They all look up to Amy as she or rather he did a triple barrel roll and with a few flaps of the wings, doing a few backflips at the same time, outperforming Rainbow with her wing special, which was a upside down flight. Then looks down to the real Primus who is looking up at the competition himself. "She always was competitive." He said admirably.

Celestia grows suspicious. "You say it like you like her."

Primus sighs and brings his head down. "I do. She is very close to me."

Celestia starts to walk closer to him, making crunching noise in the snow. "How close?"

Primus looks at her with a forlorn expression. "Mate close."

Celestia steps back in shock at what he said. "What?" She whispered.

Primus turns around and starts walking to hot springs area. "I'm sorry." He also whispered.

Celestia keeps watching as he walks off. It wasn't until she feels a tap on her side. She looks around to see Spike standing there with a clawed hand on her side. "Go."

Celestia gains a confused expression. "What?"

Spike's face hardened. "Follow him. He needs you right now."

Celestia looks to the path where Primus went then back to Spike. "How did you become so knowledgeable in love affairs?"

Spike smirks. "Be in a knowledgeable one."

Celestia laughs silently and walks to where Primus went. Spike smirk turns into a smile and looks to where Twilight and Trixie sat only to find them standing in front of him. He blushes, making his purple cheeks go red, and fiddles with his claws.

"Hey." He said to them shyly.

Twilight looks concerned as she only seen Spike act like this when he is in trouble. "What's wrong?"

Spike keeps fiddling with his claws, trying to calm himself. "Nothing is wrong, Twilight."

Twilight makes a fake smile at him to help him through. "Well, we're going to the hot springs. Want to come with us?"

Spike grew a sincere smile on his face. "Sure."


Camping spot at the spring area

The fire cackled loudly as marshmallows burn over it. Sticks holding the marshmallows held by the ponies themselves, shake slightly due to the breeze blowing past them. The ponies sat on log placed around the camp fire like statues as they waited for their food to be ready.

Primus brings his marshmallow up to his muzzle and he blows on it gently. When the remaining fire went out he took the whole thing in his mouth, swallowing it whole. The burns on his tongue didn't bother him in the least so he enjoys it well. He looks to the other ponies in the group. The noticeable one is Trixie, who has a boss thinking that she might need relaxation of her own from seeing three princesses at once, holding her marshmallow a bit too close.

She pulls her marshmallow back and realizes that it is on fire. Panicky blowing on the marshmallow after a yelp made it a futile attempt. She finally gets it out only to see that hers is brunt beyond saving. She throws the stick into the fire with the brunt marshmallow making the fire cackle even more. She sighs and leans against Twilight who is sitting right beside her. "There goes my food for the night." She said wistfully. Twilight hoofs over her stick and gives it to Trixie. Trixie smiles and takes the marshmallow with her magic, eating it.

Primus smiles to everypony as they enjoy their first night at the Four Season. Even Pinkie who had a like ten marshmallows on her stick. "How about a campfire story?"

Everypony sets their attention on Primus, wanting to hear a story. Primus runs his brain and tries to find the best story. He then gasp as he finds the best one.

"Okay here's one I know." Everypony starts to pay attention to Primus. "A long time ago there used to be a stallion."

"Used to be?" Trixie asks.

Primus nods. "Yes, and don't interrupt me again until after the story. Now, there used a stallion who was a very good merchant. Thing is through he was running low on a mineral that can only be found a specific cave in the Everfree Forest. So he left his cart neat the edge and went to the cave. As he walks through the forest he starts to hear whispers, saying 'Make me…' The whisper end there, but the stallion can hear something near the end. He didn't think of it much, but he continued on. He reaches the cave and feels the cold air blowing into him. He walks in and hears the same whisper in the forest, but louder."

"He finally reaches halfway through the cave only to find a strange sticky substance on the ground. He looks around and sees the stuff all over the cave. He pulls at his legs to get out of the stuff and went onward. He then comes onto a large cavern covered in the stuff. A strong smell of decay hit him as bigger and bigger messes is in the cavern. He soon hits something hard and looks down. He sees the body of another pony. The flesh torn off in places with two large scythe like appendages on its back. Its forelegs shrunk in to its stomach. Its coat turn all fleshy and mottled. The head leaned off to the side to make room for another that was more torn up and even fleshier, it was even so fleshy that the bones were showing."

"Disgusted by it the deformed body he doesn't look at it again and continues on, deeper in the cave. He then sees a light shining down into the middle of the cavern. At the floor of the cavern in the light he sees another deformed body lying on its knees, looking away from him. The body was breathing telling him that it's alive. He becomes intrigued and walks closer."

"Soon he's assaulted by a massive headache and an even louder whisper. The whisper kept saying, 'Make us…' Yet it still didn't finish. The stallion holds his head from the increasing pain. Then looks to the body in front him. The body's breathing huffs and brings its head up. Then slowly turns to him. It started to whisper, "Make us…" It then gets up on its hind legs and starts to walk zombie like to him."

Everypony at this point starts to shiver and hug each other. "The stallion couldn't do anything as his head still hurts." Everypony suddenly grabs their heads as though they are in pain. "The zombie got closer and closer. One word went through his head as it did so. 'Necromorph.' That one word kept ringing in his head. The necromorph got closer and closer with every squish of its steps. The stallion hears heavy breathing behind him. A little too close."

"Don't turn around. Don't turn around!" Pinkie panicky yell.

Primus's face grew evil. "Oh but he did. Turning around he came face to face with another necromorph."

Spike feels a tap on his shoulder, something sharp. He turns his head slowly as Primus continues.

Primus leans in closer. "Do you know what they said?"

Everypony shakes their heads. Primus laughs deeply and continues. "They said…"

'Pause for dramatic effect.'

Spike sees a large blade as he turns, heavy breathing on his neck. "MAKE US WHOLE!"

Everypony screams as Spike screams out at a louder volume. Turning around he was greeted with a giant necromorph, with light shining from its eyes and mouth. "MAKE US WHOLE!"

Everypony screams again as they see a real necromorph behind them then suddenly the screams die down as the laughter filled the air. Primus is laughing and the necromorph is shaking with chuckles coming from it. Primus then looks at the whole group there. "Anypony notice that Luna is missing?"

They all look around and find no sign of her there. Then their eyes slowly turn to the necromorph who has a dark blue magical aura on the top half of its body. The top half comes off to reveal Luna wearing a costume. She smiles and laughs openly. "This is…the best prank…ever!" She tried to say between laughs.

Spike brings a hand to his mouth to cover his giggles as he felt laugh about to come out. He then lets himself go and laughs out loud with everypony else following. Primus laughs along with them and doubles over in laughter.


On top of the mountain

Watching the camping group on the ground may send happiness into others, but not Umbra. For one, he can't feel it at all. Watching them isn't at all fun for him. Looking behind him he sees the bladed pony munching on a snow berry bush. The sight send a rumble into his stomach at the thought of food like the bladed pony is eating.

He throw those away as he needs to focus on his own thoughts. He needs to figure out the next phase in his plan, one that could maybe end it all. The bladed pony comes up beside him and looks down at the group. It sighs heavily and lays down in the snow. The bladed pony warps itself in its own tail to keep itself warm. It shivers for a moment and then falls asleep.

Umbra turns his head back to the group and sees them packing up and leaving. He sighs and lays himself down next to the pony. Trying to get warm. In the end he feels a different kind of warmth himself, one from inside him that burns with desire.


Author's Note

Well that's that. Now it's on to the next one.

I was actually planning on this being a one chapter for the whole vacation but it ended up being a two or three chapter arc. I haven't decided much on it.

Even then the summaries I've seen for season 4 is surprising in itself. So now I have to fix this story to fit the summary

Now next time you may find out what exactly what Umbra wants and doing there. And what Primus may do to his mates.

Read and review.

Next Chapter
