The Curious Shop of Costumes
By Scribe Feather
Autumn was falling over the small town of Ponyville and Nightmare Night season was setting in. Leaves on the trees were turning their fall colors as summer greens were replaced with pleasant reds, browns, and oranges. The final days of warm weather gave way to cooler weather, coaxing ponies into dressing warmer.
Nightmare Night was the highlight holiday of the season. Everypony dressed up in costume, celebrating the holiday with games, parties, and celebrations. The children of the town loved it because of the trick-or-treating and the giant piles of candy they ended up with at the end of the night.
As was tradition, every colt and filly had to give up part of their candy collection to Nightmare Moon herself. The offering was donated to the Nightmare Moon statue located in the fringes of the Everfree Forest. Most ponies were reluctant in sacrificing part of their hard earned sweets, but they would give it up in the end whether it was out of peer pressure or genuine fear that Nightmare Moon’s ghost would come out of the statue and eat them up instead.
With Nightmare Night just around the corner, most ponies were ready to go with the festivities. Costumes were gathered and candy was stockpiled in preparation for the holiday. Festive decorations such as skulls, spiders, and spooky ghosts were strung around town as carnival games were set up in town square for the upcoming holiday. Streamers and flags of spooky blues and eerie oranges decorated the town, further exciting its denizens.
At this point, most ponies had their costumes ready, but Twilight Sparkle was a bit late. Responsibilities with friendship and her duty as a princess kept the purple alicorn busy with a packed schedule. Her scheduling was so hectic that she almost gave the holiday a pass, but her friends insisted that she join in on the fun. She took quite a bit of convincing, especially with the holiday being so close, but eventually she agreed and decided to join her friend for Nightmare Night.
And so the day before Nightmare Night, Twilight was out costume shopping. Most stores were closed or completely sold out of costumes at this point, but there was one costume shop still open even though it was so close to the holiday.
Tucked between a furniture store and a shop that specialized in antique lamps rested a Nightmare Night costume shop open only for a couple months out of the year. The small shop didn’t have a name and instead only had a large window display in the front showcasing some premium costume options. An elegant Princess Cadance costume stood on a white pedestal beside an elaborately designed Mane-iac costume, both of which were dressed up around pony shaped mannequins.
Twilight, joined with her friend Applejack, entered the store with a tiny bell hanging above announcing their arrival. Past the small countered cash register stretched four long aisles of metal shelves. Costumes, masks and accessories covered the shelves and metal hooks, organized in loose categories. The store was a smorgasbord of prepackaged superhero costumes, fairy tale hats, and various ensembles of Wonderbolt uniforms and firefighter suits.
The store’s owner, a peach colored unicorn stallion stood near the cash register when the two mares arrived. He wore a simple clown costume that consisted of a red button nose, red wig that hardly covered up his medium purple mane, and a brightly colored suit. A pair of black, thick rimmed glasses rested on his nose. His ears perked up when he heard the bell, putting on an easy smile at the sight of new customers.
“Welcome! Welcome!” The store pony exclaimed, “please do come in!” He had a jovial spring in his step as he happily welcomed the ponies into his store. “Late costume shoppers, I assume?” He asked rhetorically, hardly pausing before he continued, “you’ll find that we have a well stocked store with a variety of costumes and accessories to make you the life of the party! Can I help ya find anything in particular?”
“We’re just browsing,” Twilight answered, knowing that she would know what she was looking for when she saw it.
“I’ll check in back. These places always ‘ave somethin’ interesting in the back,” Applejack commented before trotting down the long aisles. Twilight watched Applejack disappear among the ghoulish masks and spooky costumes as she browsed the costumes closer to the front of the store.
The store, even so close to Nightmare Night still had a wide selection of costumes to pick from. Animal costumes and sci-fi outfits provided any shopper with a plethora of options. Whether in pieces or plastic wrapped as one full set, ponies could mix and match parts or find just about any costume they had in mind.
Twilight must have browsed hundreds of costumes as she slowly weaved through the aisles. Wizard and police officer outfits were interesting to look at, but for one reason or another, Twilight just could see herself wearing them. Comically scary zombie masks and druid costumes didn’t seem her style either. Despite the riches of plenty, very few options seemed to show themselves.
She must have weaved through the rows of costumes a dozen times, finding nothing of particular interest. Eventually however her eyes fell upon a single, solitary costume that hung on one of the many metal shelf hooks. By what she thought was pure chance, Twilight focused her attention on a baby costume for adults.
Sealed in a thin plastic packaging were all the pieces of the costume that pony would need for dressing up as a baby. A baby bonnet, pacifier on a string, and a blue and pink bib all sat neatly folded on top with a large white diaper filling out the back of the package with it’s exaggerated bulk. Despite it’s ridiculous appearance, Twilight felt herself gravitating towards the costume. She couldn't quite put her hoof on it, but the particular costume seemed like just what she was looking for.
“Find anything yet?” Applejack asked as she walked up beside Twilight. Her eyes quickly followed Twilight’s, locking on the brightly colored costume that hung before them. “A baby costume?”
Twilight just shrugged. “I don’t know. I was just curious,” she simply said.
Suddenly the store pony appeared behind the two. “A wonderful choice if I do say so myself! Those have been selling like hotcakes!” he joyfully boasted about the product, “that’s our last one if you’re interested.”
“A baby costume?" Applejack raised an eyebrow at the store owner, "come on, who’d want to wear that?”
“I’ll take it!” Twilight found herself saying.
The store pony’s soft pink eyes lit up as he practically hopped in place. “Wonderful! You'll be the center of attention, I'm sure!” With a green glow of his horn, the unicorn pulled the baby costume off of the metal hook, carrying it with him to the front of the store. ”I’ll ring you up!”
Twilight followed the stallion out with Applejack following close behind. The three congregated around the front counter as the store pony slipped up behind the register.
“Do you have a Nightmare Night costume yet?” the stallion asked Applejack as he ran Twilight’s costume over the scanner and punched in some numbers into the register, “probably have a babysitter costume stashed somewhere if you want to pair up with your friend here.”
“Thanks, but no thanks,” Applejack answered, not all that entertained by the joke, “besides, I already have a costume.”
“Scarecrow?” the store pony guessed.
“Skeleton,” Applejack corrected.
“Sounds quite spooky!” the peach colored stallion answered as he bagged Twilight’s costume and handed it to her in exchange for a hoof full of bits. “You’re all set! Just keep me in mind if you ever need a quick costume change!”
“We will!” Twilight answered back, finding the stallion’s lighthearted personality rubbing off on her.
She actually found herself getting excited to try out her newest purchase. She could hardly think about anything else as the pair left the store and journeyed back to the castle. Most of her attention focused on how eye catching her costume would be. She thought about all the compliments she could get and, sillily enough, how many ponies would tell her how cute she looked.
Nightmare Night couldn’t have arrived sooner. All throughout the day Twilight was eagerly waiting for the sun to set so she could finally wear her new costume. She could hardly focus on her usual daily chores because she was so excited. Her usual pile of paper work was hastily worked through. She likely missed a few fields as she rushed through the various documents and records that waited for her that day. The sooner she could get her paperwork done, the sooner she could join the festivities that were already gathering in the castle's main hall.
When the time was right, Twilight happily ripped open the clear plastic packaging that kept the costume all in one place. Putting on most of the pieces were easy enough, a simple knot tie fastened the bib and bonnet around her neck and the large pacifier freely dangled off a soft pink ribbon. The real challenge was the large diaper that, strangely enough, had tapes to fasten it. But even with Twilight’s obvious lack of skill with diaper changes, she managed to get the costume’s diaper on, albeit a tad loose.
With her ensemble complete, Twilight looked at herself in the mirror. She looked rather silly in the infantile outfit, the kind of silly one could only expect from a Nightmare Night costume. Exaggerated design of the bonnet and bib was only overshadowed by the sheer bulk of the white diaper that forced her legs apart. She couldn't quite shake the goofy and excited smile that grew on her face as she examined herself at various angles. Despite how silly she thought she looked in the outfit, something felt right about the costume. She felt really good about this decision.
The costume party held in the castle hall was a festive sight to behold. Drinks, games, and musical entertainment were all assembled in the large room as all of Twilight’s friends were invited. In the end the guest list grew much larger after her friends invited some of their friends and family and so on. But in no way did the hall seem crowded as it had enough space, food, and games to spare.
By the time Twilight journeyed down to the ground floor of the castle and into the main hall, ponies were already enjoying the spoils of the party. At least a dozen party guests had already arrived, chattering amongst each other while exchanging compliments about their costumes. She could spy a whole slew of outfits stemming from a wide variety of themes.
Twilight took in a deep breath, letting it out slowly as she did her best to sooth what few remaining tense nerves bubbled in her chest. She was a bit nervous, but it was an excited, almost giddy nervousness. She readjusted her baby bonnet and recomposed herself. This was it.
Swooping in to greet the diapered pony was Rainbow Dash, dressed in gray armor that was elegantly accented with shiny gold edging. “Hey Twilight! Great costume,” Dash laughed before striking a heroic pose, “guess who I am?”
“Commander Hurricane,” Twilight replied, not at all hesitating to answer such a simple question.
“Figures an egghead like you would get it on the first try,” Dash’s limbs drooped in front of her. “Yeah alright. So you figured me out,” she started again, scanning the room before them, “but I bet I can figure out what everypony else is dressed as before you!”
“Please, Dash, I didn’t come to a Nightmare Night party to-”
“Pinkie Pie’s dressed as Fillisecond,” Dash quickly pointed towards the pink pony who energetically chattered away in her white and purple striped, skin tight suit. “Applejack’s dressed as a skeleton,” she said as she pointed at the orange pony who was busy adjusting some plastic bones that were taped to a soft black fabric around her body.
“Dash, I don’t...” Twilight paused as pride set in. She wasn’t going to let Rainbow Dash win such an easy challenge. “Rarity’s DJ Pon3,” she quickly pointed at the white unicorn who wore a spiky blue wig and purple tinted glasses. Dash scowled for a second as Twilight beat her to it. “Big Machintosh is Brutus Horse, Spike’s dressed as a knight.” The tall red stallion, clad in a red and gold jumpsuit was talking things up with Spike who was struggling to stand up right in his heavy suit of plastic armor that was painted up to look like real medieval metal. She continued to scan the room for familiar faces. “And Fluttershy is dressed as-”
“As a rabbit!” Rainbow Dash loudly interrupted pointing a confident hoof over at the yellow pegasus who was enjoying a nice cup of punch while wearing a brown, soft bunny costume. Not too keen on being beaten, even at such a petty little game, Dash rattled off some more costumes, “Lyra’s a red dragon, Bon Bon’s dressed as a princess, and Daisy’s just dressed as a flower.” Dash pointed at each pony as she listed them off, drawing attention towards the trio of costumed ponies with a point of her hoof. “Ha! Too slow, Twilight Crinkle!” Dash loudly exclaimed triumphantly, “maybe you should go back to nursery school for a few more years before you go up against THE CHAMP!” Dash flexed her muscles to emphasize her point.
Twilight was taken aback by the sheer speed Dash called out the various costumes. Such lighting quick reaction time left the alicorn in a bit of a daze. She plopped backwards, landing squarely on top of her fluffy diaper that puffed loudly against the ground.
Dash rocketed out of the area in a flash, riding high on her newest victory of superior costume identification. That left Twilight alone by the base of the stairs, dazed and a bit taken aback by the loss. She felt a bit hurt by such a loss, upset even. Part of her even started to reason that Dash somehow didn’t play fair at their impromptu game. What Twilight couldn’t figure out was why such a silly thing bothered her.
She only had a minute more to dwell on the thought before a scary ghost with pink ears suddenly appeared in front of her, waving its sheet like arms about. “Booooooo!” the ghost exclaimed loudly, quivering its voice a tiny bit for added spookiness.
Twilight let out a big gasp, genuinely startled by the encounter. She took a few panicked scoots back, bumping into the foot of the steps as she tried to slide away from the startling specter.
Twilight shrunk back and and shyly looked at the other pony. She actually felt herself grow unsettled by the costume, a twinge of fear stirring inside her otherwise rational mind. She was visibly made upset by the scare, close to even crying. Her lower lip began to quiver at the scary sight.
The ghost was quick to notice, quickly pull its white sheet off to reveal a concerned Pinkie Pie. “Oh! Sorry Twilight!” Pinkie Pie hastily said.
“Y-you scared me,” Twilight weakly whimpered.
“Uhm...I’m sorry,” Pinkie answered back. She let out a quiet gasp when she spotted a small yellow spot growing on Twilight’s diaper. “R-really sorry...I-I didn’t think...”
“What’s wrong?” Twilight asked, slowly pulling herself up back to her feet.
“Well you...uhm....” Pinkie Pie blushed now, looking away before taking a few side steps to the left. “A-actually I gotta...I have this...thing I gotta do...” She stammered out an answer before zipping out of sight in a pink blur.
Twilight was once again left alone, hardly noticing her freshly warmed diaper in the confusion. She simply walked into the party proper and partook in some of the festive punch, feeling rather parched all of a sudden.
As she took a big gulp out of her punch cup, Dash came swooping in. “Haha! I have to admit, you’re committed to your craft!” Dash laughed, “from here it almost looks like you wet yourself!” She hovered beside the diapered pony, having a good laugh at how convincing it all was. “What is that? Water or something? Pour in a cup or two while no one was looking?” She reached in with a hoof to give the soaked diaper a testing squish, “gotta admit, it’s pretty convin-...” Her jovial smile quickly disappeared when she felt the warm squish of the padding. The ever so faint whiff of urine further cemented her suspicions.
Twilight’s cheeks flared up as her eyes grew wide. “I-It’s not what you think!”
“It’s fine, Twilight,” Dash said as she leaned away from the pee soaked diaper, quickly recoiling her hoof away from the soggy thing. “Just didn’t think you were a kind of pony to enjoy that sort of thing...” She paused, awkwardly trying to avoid looking at the diaper now, “just...don’t let Rarity catch ya, I guess.”
Dash gave Twilight her space after that, awkwardly slipping away from the diapered pony to find something else to distract her. Twilight was equally embarrassed, blushing heavily as she stood there in the middle of the party. She could hardly fathom why she even thought wetting her diaper was a good idea. She couldn’t think of what possessed her to make that choice. Now she was left with a warm diaper that loudly sloshed against her thighs whenever she took a step.
That awkward feeling, though, only lasted for a minute or so until Twilight looked back up at all the party’s games and fun. She cared less about her soaked diaper and more about the entertainment. Now she just really wanted to have fun like everypony else.
Regardless of her obviously wet diaper, Twilight was able to enjoy herself at the party once more. She happily waddled around, chatting things up with other ponies and even jumping into a few of the games. She especially enjoyed bobbing for apples which flashed her thickly diapered rump in the air every time she dipped her head into the barrel, but she failed to notice amidst the fun. Everypony she met seemed to enjoy her costume, overjoyed to chat the pony up about her rather convincing ensemble. Although she failed to notice everypony's strange looks when she turned around and started to walk away from them.
She was just about to join in on the dancing that surrounded the small music stage when Spike grabbed her attention. “Hey Twilight, can you come up to my room for a sec?” the armor clad dragon said, noticeably uncomfortable about something.
“Sure thing, Spike,” Twilight answered back before waddling off with him back up the steps to his room.
Once in his bedroom, Spike close the door for added privacy. Although why they needed privacy was beyond Twilight.
“Sorry to pull you away from the party so suddenly, Twilight,” Spike started to say, “but ponies were starting to stare...”
“Stare?”
“Your...diaper?” Spike pointed at the princess’s padding that had long since grown soggy from her hapless wetting throughout the night. She could only faintly recall ever deciding to pee into it, but now it was at least twice as thick, swollen with her yellow urine.
“Oh,” Twilight replied, only it didn’t sound like she was surprised or embarrassed to discover her diaper was so publicly exposed. She just figured she needed to say something to the concerned dragon.
“Look, I get it you wanna be in character or whatever, but that thing’s not gonna last the night if you keep soaking it that much,” Spike answered as he walked over to his dresser.
From the bottom drawer, Spike pulled out a half full package of nighttime diapers. The dim blue plastic package looked rather plain, advertising ‘Night Clouds’ on the front with a mature and ‘grown up’ font.
“They’re a little small, but they should fit you,” Spike said, pulling a diaper out of the package. “Barely...”
He held the diaper up to Twilight, but the alicorn just stared at the garment. She looked at the diaper with unfocused eyes, hardly having a thought run through her mind as she switched between staring at the diaper and then back at the dragon.
Spike sighed, recoiling his extended arms. “You want me to change you?”
“Please,” Twilight said before lowering herself to the ground. Spike reluctantly followed her, promptly untaping her costume diaper and replacing it with one of his.
Spike’s bedwetting habits only popped up every month or so, but his nighttime padding was always kept secret among him and Twilight. It must have taken a bit of bravery for him to offer his padding to Twilight, but such an act of valor went unnoticed by the diapered pony. Twilight just idly suckled on her hoof throughout the entire diaper change, completely unphased by the otherwise strange act of having her diaper changed. To her, it felt like an everyday occurrence.
Spike showed prowess in his diaper changing abilities which was likely a result of doing it many times on himself. He was always so private with his ‘nighttime protection’ insisting that he was somehow more mature if he taped them on himself.
He couldn’t quite fathom why Twilight was suddenly acting this way, but judging by the baby bonnet and comically large pacifier that hung on her neck, he simply wrote it off as ‘acting in character’. It didn’t quite hide the fact that he was currently changing one of his long time friend’s diapers though.
“Alright, that should hold you for a little while,” the dragon finally said once the new diaper was taped snugly around Twilight’s waist. “Just uhm...try and keep an eye out, alright?”
“Kay!” Twilight answered passively before hopping back to her feet. She simply left the room after her diaper change, leaving Spike to clean up the mess and dispose of her soaked diaper. She was much too eager to join in on all the fun games to wait around for him.
She met up with Applejack when she returned to the party. The orange pony was busy beating the top score at the apple bobbing barrel, something that Twilight found joyfully entertaining.
Applejack grinned at her giggling audience, spitting out her fifteenth apple retrieved from the large container of water.
“Well shoot, there you are!” Applejack started to say to Twilight, “was lookin’ for you. Where’d you disappear off to?”
“I was getting my diaper changed,” Twilight answered plainly with a completely serious tone in her voice.
Applejack found the statement hilarious. “Haha, of course ya did!” the pony winked at the diapered alicorn. “I had my doubts about that costume, but you really pull it off!”
“Thanks,” Twilight answered with a prideful smile.
She scanned the party scene before her and observed the number of ponies enjoy the festivities. Everypony was in costume, partaking in some Nightmare Night games or chatting around warm cups of apple cider. She noticed Big Machintosh was chatting things up with Spike while occasionally pausing to adjust his Brutus Horse mask.
“Say, where’s Applebloom?” Twilight asked Applejack, “I haven’t seen her all night.”
“She’s in the other room sorting through candy with her friends,” Applejack answered, pointing towards a doorway that lead to a side room of the foyer. “Got back from trick-or-treating ‘bout an hour ago.”
“Candy?” Twilight asked with perked interest. Applejack said something else on the subject, but Twilight didn’t hear a word of it. She was much too set on the idea of candy.
Leaving the joyful festivities that played loudly in the other room, Twilight journeyed into the side room where Applebloom and her friends set up shop. The three fillies were sitting in a loose circle in the center of the room, piles of candy spread out before them as they exchanged chocolate bars and suckers amongst each other.
Applebloom was dressed in a modest princess outfit, likely a result of a lost bet she had with Scootaloo. On the other hand, Scootaloo was proudly donning a Shadowbolt costume. Sweetie Belle wore a bird costume with wings, tail feathers, and a beak resembling a yellow jay.
“What are you girls doing in here?” Twilight asked as she waddled in closer to the three fillies.
“Tradin’ candy!” Applebloom exclaimed, taking a big bite out of a chocolate bar.
“Careful Applebloom,” Sweetie Belle exclaimed, “my sister’ll kill me if you get chocolate on that dress!”
“Yeah yeah, I’ll be careful,” Applebloom rolled her eyes, taking another careless bite out of her candy.
Twilight paused, staring briefly at the giant piles of candy. “You girls sure got quite the hull this year.”
“I’ll say!” Scootaloo triumphantly proclaimed, “we’ve been planning out our trick-or-treating route for months! Got ourselves the finest candy Ponyville has to offer!”
“Yeah...” Twilight wistfully replied, “wish I could have trick-or-treated...” She continued to stare at the piles of candy, feeling a bit left out. She looked at the three with an expression of longing. Her lower lip pouted out as she looked at the three fillies and all their candy. It almost appeared like she was close to tears.
Twilight’s subtle yet childish performance wasn’t lost on the three fillies. Applebloom nudged at Scootaloo’s side. “Give her some of yer candy!”
“Me?” Scootaloo exclaimed, “give her some of yours!”
“You’ve been hoarding your stash all night! You can spare a few bars,” Applebloom quickly retorted.
“You’re the one who went back to all those houses with a different costume!”
“Let’s just all give her some of our candy,” Sweetie Belle chimed in, “come on, girls, she doesn’t have any!”
The other two fillies looked at each other, thinking it over as they glanced down at their pile of brightly colored candies. A hard earned stash of sugary sweets that could easily tide them over until the next holiday, but Twilight’s performance did make them feel a little guilty.
A bit reluctantly, they started tossing various bits of candy into a fourth pile in the middle. Small lollipops and fun sized chocolate bars were steadily added to the pile as the three fillies weighed the options between giving up their candy and trying to keep the good stuff. After a little bit of time, a fourth pile was assembled in between the other stashes.
The fourth pile of candy was pushed towards the Twilight once it grew to about the same size as the other piles. Twilight instantly snapped out of her sad mood and wore the biggest smile on her face. She happily plopped down in front of the pile of candy, digging into the collection of candy bars, sugary fruit bars, and hard candies in the shape of pumpkins.
“Thankoo!” she happily exclaimed, already having a mouthful of chocolate slurring her speech. She happily wiggled in place as the sugary treats gave her that sought after buzz that Nightmare Night was all about. After no time at all, she was already starting on her tenth piece of candy, getting her hooves sticky with sugary residue.
Sweetie Belle and her friend sat awkwardly as the alicorn feasted on her horde of treats with hapless abandon. The three fillies exchanged looks amongst themselves. “You uh, feeling alright, Twilight?” Sweetie Belle asked tentatively, “you don’t normally trade candy with us.”
“Mhmm,” Twilight answered before swallowing another mouthful of candy, “you guys just seem to be having a funner time! I wanted to join!”
“And mooch off all our candy,” Scootaloo grumbled under her breath before being jabbed in the side by Applebloom.
“Well we ‘ppreciate you comin’ over,” Applebloom answered.
“Hey! Maybe you’d like to come with us to give our candy offering to Nightmare Moon!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed.
“Aren’t ya suppose ta do that before you come home?” Twilight asked with a small bite of chocolate in her mouth.
“Why should Nightmare Moon get all the good stuff?” Scootaloo shrugged.
“Come on! It’ll be fun!” Sweetie Belle added.
“Yeah okay!” Twilight exclaimed, hopping up to her feet.
After the four regathered their separate heaps of candy into bags, they set out towards the Everfree Forest. The full moon overhead shined brightly, illuminating whatever roads street lamps couldn’t light up. After passing the few timber framed houses that stood on the outskirts of town they crossed the fields that separated Ponyvile and the ever approaching Everfree Forest. Soon they found themselves near the fringe of the Everfree Forest with the thick, tall trees looming nearby as if setting the stage for the spooky holiday.
Ever the perimeter of the forest had a spooky tone to it, playing well to the holiday. Tall, old trees grew out of the ground with thick, gnarly roots. A well traveled dirt path cut into the thick trees of the forest rim, opening things up to a clearing.
Twilight shrunk as they walked among the eerie trees and overgrown bushes. She fearfully hugged close to the smaller fillies for safety, not wanting to be caught out here alone. She seemed to be made the most uneasy about the trip, but she found solace in knowing that she wasn't the only one even a little bit scared of the place.
“Bleh, I always hate coming here,” Sweetie Belle commented, eyes scanning the overgrown forest around them.
The wide, dirt path led the group to a solitary statue of Nightmare Moon. The malevolent looking statue depicted the sinister alicorn herself rearing up on her hind legs with her wings extended to her sides. At the base of the statue laid a large pile of candy, a collective of offerings from the many children who came through here over the course of the night.
“Let’s just hurry up and do this, alright?” Scootaloo hastily spat out as she looked around the group, “I wanna get back to the party and eat my candy!”
The four poured out their bags to add to the pile of offerings in front of the statue. Twilight was one of the last to give up her prize, hesitating until the last minute to finally give up her newly won bag of treats.
Suddenly the Nightmare Moon statue began to glow, emitting an eerie green fog as a sinister mood feel upon the area. The fog quickly surrounded the four ponies as they all closed ranks in the middle of it all.
Over the crisp, autumn air a sinister laugh could be heard. Distant at first, the laughing quickly fell over the offering site as the glow around the stone statue started to intensify. An evil green ghost of Nightmare Moon pulled itself from the statue, gazing down at the four costumed ponies with its green slitted eyes.
The ghost laughed, growing to twice it’s size as it stared right through the scared ponies with its devilish eyes. “You dare offer such a meager offering at such a late hour?!” The ghost glared at her prey as lightning crashed above for added ambiance. “You greedy little ponies think you can fool me? The terrible Nightmare Moon?!” Another clash of lightning lit up the sky, forcing the four costumed ponies to coil against each other in fear. “As punishment for such crimes I’m going to devour you whole! Who's first?!”
Twilight and the girls screamed loudly as Nightmare Moon loomed overhead with sharp, monstrous fangs. The three fillies darted back the way they came, shooting straight through the green fog while they screamed. Occasionally the screams were punctuated with small giggles as their hoofsteps quickly faded into the distance, leaving behind their candy offering.
Twilight was left alone in front of the statue, too petrified with fear to move from that spot. Her eyes remained wide open, staring endlessly at the monstrous figure that loomed over her. Her body quivered as true fear set over her. It wasn’t a game to the diapered pony.
“It would appear that your friends have abandoned you, little pony,” the evil Nightmare Moon phantom said in a booming, terrifying voice. “Now I’m going to EAT YOU!”
That seemed to break whatever brave nerve Twilight had left. The diapered alicorn dropped to the ground and did the only thing her fear stricken mind could think to do: cry. Tears started welling up in her eyes as she began crying up a storm. Her cheeks grew slick with tears as she just sat there wailing out like a child. Her bladder broke loose and expelled some urine into the waiting diaper, making an already moist diaper soaked.
The evil ghost continued to loom over the pony, grinning a sinister, fanged grin as it slithered in closer to the helpless pony. Slowly it opened its gaping maw that stretched wide like a snake, the ghostly fangs gleaming in the moonlight. It inched in closer and closer as Twilight continued to cry.
However just before it reached for Twilight’s head, the green phantom recoiled, wearing a puzzled look on it’s face. That puzzlement turned into a worry and suddenly the shadowy Nightmare Night devolved, shrinking in size and turning into Princess Luna. The green fog around them quickly disappeared as Luna's conjured trick faded into nothing, leaving only the blue alicorn in its place.
The normal looking Luna had a worrisome expression on her face as she went up to console the crying pony. “Twilight?” But the other alicorn was unresponsive, too terrified to even notice the other princess nearby. She only continued to cry, whining like a foal. “Twilight...it’s...it’s alright. It was just an act...”
Luna couldn’t quite find the words to calm the diapered pony down. It didn’t seem like any of her words were getting through. She carefully slipped in close to Twilight who persisted to cry into her hooves. Luna lowered a caring hoof on Twilight’s quivering shoulder. The careful shoulder pat slowly turned into a comforting hug as she kneeled down beside the diapered pony.
“I’m sorry I scared you,” Luna started again, “but it’s all gone. There’s no need to cry.”
The hug made a noticeable difference in Twilight’s mood. When the blue alicorn pulled her into her embrace, her whaling slowly turned into quiet whimpers and sniffling. The diapered pony sniffled as her body still shook from fear.
Face wet with tears and her eyes bloodshot red, Twilight finally looked up at the other alicorn. “Lulu?” she asked in a small voice.
“That’s right, Twilight. Lulu’s got ya,” Luna smiled down at the diapered pony holding her tightly. “No more scaries.”
Twilight leaned into the hug, deeply embracing the other alicorn as her sniffling slowly became less frequent.
It was tough to say how long they sat there as Luna consoled the whimpering Twilight in front of the Nightmare Moon statue. As the minutes slowly ticked by Luna hugged Twilight close, rocking her side to side and rubbing gentle circles into her back.
Her acts of comforting made noticeable differences in Twilight’s fear stricken body. Soon the purple alicorn was stable enough to think straight, at least so she thought. When her mood started to pull itself out of the terrifying pit of fear, Twilight began gently suckling on her hoof, finding even more added comfort in the act.
Luna gave Twilight’s back a few soft pats. “There we go...” she said as she slowly pulled away from the diapered pony, “I think you’re overdue for a nap.”
Once Twilight had settled down some more Luna slowly guided her out of the forest and back into town. Twilight leaned heavily on Luna, forcing the blue alicorn to prop her against her side as they walked. Twilight preoccupied herself with suckling on her hoof as her eyes slowly dried up from a good cry. She would let out a big yawn every couple of steps, growing more tired as the journey went on.
When the two returned to town, they were met with the buzzing activity of the festive Nightmare Night. Much too tired from her intense crying session, Twilight hardly reacted to the chatter of ponies, the loud music, or even the sugar scents of freshly baked sweets. She simply dozed off, growing lazier in her stride with each shaky step she took. By the time they reached the castle, Luna was practically carrying Twilight as the diapered alicorn started to doze off on the spot while they walked.
Luna walked through the castle doors with Twilight gently floating beside her with a blue glow gently holding her slumbering body up. The purple alicorn peacefully snoozed away in her magical bubble as a drool covered hoof hung lazily in her mouth.
Luna's ears then perked up at the sound of dribbling water that splattered nothing short of two feet away from her. She quickly glanced to her side to see a bead of urine dribble off Twilight's hoof. The diapered pony's inner thighs were now slick and shiny with dampness.
"I believe a diaper change will be needed before your nap," Luna thought out loud, expecting no response from the slumbering pony. She took a cautious closer look at the Twilight's diaper that was now incredibly saggy with pee leaking out the leg gatherers. "Dire need of one..."
And with that Luna carefully carried Twilight up to her room where she hoped an extra diaper could be found.
