Nightmare Night, Part 1

“Thanks for the help, girls! Happy Nightmare Night!” Sunset called out over her shoulder as she stepped through the mirror portal. She landed comfortably on all fours as she emerged on the other side, more readily expecting her old pony body this time. She took a quick look in the mirror to make sure everything looked right, and-- Oh, score, Sunset thought, poking the headphones around her ears and the comically-oversized zipper on her vest. Her costume had survived the trip. Good to know. Maybe there were still some Nightmare Night festivities she could get in on before the big day tomorrow. Not that anypony here would get her costume, probably, but…

“Ah, Sunset, you made it! Wow, nice costume! What are you supposed to be?”

Sunset turned and smiled at the sound of Twilight’s voice. “Heh, hey Twi. I’m a character named Marina, it’s from this video game in the human world--”

The rest of her sentence died in her throat as she drank in the sight before her. Twilight Sparkle was standing in front of the cutie map along with her dragon assistant Spike, who was easily taller than either of them these days, and the two of them were cuddled up side by side, giggling at some private joke between them. Twilight was wearing robes of an offensively bright orange and a slightly-less gaudy yellow headband, while Spike had chosen a far more reasonable shade of red for his robes yet the far more ridiculous accessory: a pair of sunglasses, indoors, at night. Both sported logos on their chests, a sun and a giant gear respectively.

Sunset suppressed a groan, recognizing their outfits instantly. “Oh lord, you two found Homestuck.”

“Hehe, we sure did!” Twilight confirmed. “I think we make a good Rose and Dave, don’t you?”

“Too good. I never should have given you guys that laptop…”

“Hah, too late now!” Spike cackled.

“I could make so many incest jokes right now.”

“It’s not incest if it’s not by blood,” Twilight said with an airy giggle.

“Somehow I don’t think even blood would stop you.”

“Ahehehe, weeeeellll…”

Sunset rolled her eyes, but resigned herself to let it go and change the subject. “Regardless, it is still kinda weird seeing you two so cuddly. In my world you’re a dog, Spike.”

“Well, I do sometimes get an uncontrollable urge to hump somepony’s legs,” Spike answered, giving her a lecherous grin. “But I usually miss and end up between them instead.”

“Oh my god, you’re such a pervert.”

“Said the girl visiting from a whole ‘nother universe for a shot at an orgy.”

“Touché,” Sunset admitted, chuckling. “Speaking of, I gotta admit, when my friends on the other side heard about this, they had some… interesting reactions.”

“Oh yeah? Like what?” Twilight asked.

“Well, half of them are kinda disappointed they didn’t get an invite, for one thing.”

Twilight giggled at that. “Oh, gosh, I’m sorry. Honestly I didn’t think any of them would be interested. The human world seems like it’s a lot more uptight about this sort of thing.”

“Hah, well, you’re not wrong about that. The second part, at least. But a couple of them wouldn’t have minded playing. Bet you can guess which ones.”

“Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie?” Spike offered.

“Right in one.” Sunset smirked at Twilight suddenly. “Although, a certain rising rock star probably wouldn’t have minded a shot at a couple of old flames like us…”

Twilight instantly flushed. “Ahaha… haha, is that right…? Heh-heh, well, m-maybe I’ll put that out there next year then…”

“I’m sure he’d appreciate you thinking of him,” Sunset said, giving her a wink before letting it drop. “So, where is everypony? I’m not late, am I?”

“Hah, only for the free show!” Spike declared.

“Quiet, you,” Twilight scolded him half-heartedly. “You’re fine, Sunset. We’ve actually got a big Nightmare Night party going downstairs, our co-players are just gonna stick around after it’s over. Before that, though, come on up to the cutie map. You still need to… hehe, ‘register.’”

“Uh, alright then,” Sunset said as she approached the cutie map, which, thanks to Twilight’s magic, was now apparently perverted beyond recognition. The table was now haphazardly sub-divided into just over two dozen segments, each with somepony’s name scribbled into it, and all but one stamped with either a hoofprint or a clawprint, in fluids that were very definitely not ink.

“What do you think?” Twilight asked. “I really stepped things up this year, now that we’re a bit more familiar with the basics.”

“It… sure looks like you went all out,” Sunset observed, her eyes tracing over the various names scrawled on the table. “So this is everyone who’s playing, huh?”

“Yep,” Spike confirmed. “Twenty-six takers this year. Bit bigger than last time.”

“You two, all the other girls… buncha your siblings, haha, maybe I’ll get to make some incest jokes after all… ooooh, hehe, Starlight? Awesome… and these must be her new friends she’s been telling me about, that’ll be fun to meet them… and there’s--… oh. Oh jeez, Celestia and Luna? The freaking god-empresses of Equestria are playing too? Gawd, that won’t be intimidating or anything…”

“Don’t worry about it, it’s not as intimidating as it sounds,” Spike assured her. “They’re both actually huge perverts.”

“…Oh really.”

“Oh yes, hehe…” Twilight agreed, sighing wistfully. “Mmmhh, they were just out of my reach last year, though…”

“Not mine!”

“Shut up, Spike.”

“Ah-heh… w-well, that’s good to know, I guess,” Sunset said, looking back at the cutie map. “…Speaking of perverted, what in the world did you do to this thing, anyway?”

“Oh, this?” Twilight looked back at the map as well. “Well, let’s just say I’ve… enhanced it temporarily, for our little game…”

“Uh-huh… enhanced how, exactly?”

“I’ll explain it to everypony at the final countdown. For now though, I need you to stamp in.”

Sunset eyed the individual segments of the map again, and the stamped prints in each, of varying neatness. Fluttershy and Maud’s hoofprints were so perfectly neat and unblemished it was almost supernatural, whereas Discord’s looked more like a paint splatter than a hoof-print. Pinkie had made a little smiley face out of hers, while Rainbow Dash had added a crude likeness of her cutie mark. Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, who were of course side by side, had smeared their stamps into each other’s squares until the lines of not-ink met one another like little legs holding hooves. And right at the edge in front of her, just below the married couple’s stamps and next to Spike’s and Twilight’s, was a chunk of unstamped space with ‘Sunset Shimmer’ written across the top.

“So is, uh… is this stuff what I think it is?” Sunset wondered aloud.

“If you think it’s cum, then yes, yes it is,” Spike said, completely straight-faced.

“…Why?”

“It was necessary for the spellwork I was weaving to enhance the cute map,” Twilight explained. “I’m confident the payoff will be worth it for everypony once they see it, but first it needs the essence of each participant to work properly.”

“Heh-heh, essence,” Spike snickered.

“So, wait, what you’re saying is… did you seriously pull some ‘contracts written in blood’ level magic for this thing?”

“Well, no, not blood, obviously, but… kinda?”

“…Twi, you know this is gross, right?”

“It’s just sugar water and proteins, primarily. And the rest is vitamins and minerals.”

“All part of a healthy nerd’s diet,” Spike added.

“Shut up, I’m not asking her to eat it.”

“Hey, you never know, maybe she’s into that.”

“Spike!”

Sunset chuckled. “It’s okay, Twilight, I’m not mad, this is all just… a little more formal than I was expecting. Then again I guess that’s my own fault, considering you went to all that effort just on the invitation…”

“Ah-heh, yeah, I guess maybe I went a bit overboard, but I promise it’s totally in the spirit of the game. I wouldn’t do something dangerous with this.”

“Heh… alright, Twilight, I trust you.”

“Hehe, thanks, Sunset… do you need a minute alone to…?”

“Mm, nah, I’m good. All this talk already has me kinda wet anyway,” Sunset admitted. And sure enough, as she stretched one foreleg underneath herself and into the pants of her costume for a quick swirl, she swiftly brought it back out dripping and glistening.

“Hot.”

“Thanks,” she said, throwing a quick wink at Spike, and stamped her hoof firmly into the center of the map piece bearing her name. The table briefly flickered and grew warm around her hoof before fading away, and when she pulled her hoof back, it was perfectly dry again, and her girl juices were seared into the table under her name.

“Great! That’s it, everything’s set for the challenge!” Twilight exclaimed happily. “Now we just have to wait until midnight. You guys wanna head down to the party ‘til then?”

“Sounds good to me,” Sunset agreed. “Can’t wait to meet everypony…”
