A Radiant Knightmare
Prologue - The Nightmare Begins
Load Full StoryNext ChapterThree days before Nightmare Night, the Mane Six and their friends were getting their costumes ready. With the help from Rarity, the fashion designer, Radiant and his friends got to try on their new costumes.
Radiant Sword was dressed up as the woodland warrior with a green floppy cap. A blue-handled, double-edged sword completed his look too.
Dark Sword was dressed up as a sword-wielding mercenary from his favorite RPG game. He had a sword with a blade wider than Radiant's.
Silver Shruiken was dressed up as an oni, a Japanese ogre.
Little Prank was dressed up as a witch.
Princess Twilight Sparkle was dressed up as a Hoplite.
Rainbow Dash was dressed up as an astronaut.
Applejack was dressed up as a scarecrow.
Pinkie Pie was dressed up as a disco roller skating pony.
Rarity was dressed up as merpony.
Fluttershy was dressed up as a princess.
Starlight Glimmer was dressed up as a lunar magical mare warrior.
"Let our Nightmare Night adventure begin." Radiant said while holding out his sword.
"Yay! Nightmare Night!" Little Prank cried.
"Princess Luna, I'll give you candy that I don't need." Dark said. He was accompanied by Silver Shuriken, who was roaring playfully.
Meanwhile, at Aqua Butterfly's Dollhouse in Fluttershy's Cottage, Aqua is having a tea party with her butterfly friends. She felt earthquakes and saw Fluttershy come near her dollhouse. "Hi, mama." She said.
"Good evening, little Aqua." Fluttershy said with a smile.
Aqua noticed a tiara on Fluttershy's head. "Mama, are you dressed up as a princess?" She asked.
"Yes, sweetie." Fluttershy said.
"Why are you dressed up like that, mama?" Aqua asked.
"Because Nightmare Night is coming." Fluttershy said.
"N-Nightmare... N-Night..?" Aqua shuddered.
"Yes." Fluttershy said. Her response made the butterfly pony whimper. "What's wrong, Aqua?" She asked.
"Why is this Nightmare Night coming?" Aqua shuddered.
"It's a holiday tradition that follows Nightmare Moon's legacy," Fluttershy said, "We dress up in costumes, going door-to-door as we ask for candy, play games at the carnival, and watch some musical entertainment. Wouldn't it be fun, Aqua?"
"That's nice..." Aqua said, "But what if I get neverending nightmares for the rest of the day?!" She began to whimper even more.
"Okay, Aqua, I'll leave you alone," Fluttershy said, "Let me know when you change your mind, sweetie." She walked away from Aqua's Dollhouse. "Oh, my goodness. What's gotten into my little daughter?" She asked.
