Author's Note

The Twilight going crazy wasn’t my favorite episode of season 2 so I kind of glossed over it and added Celestia in the equation of Nightmare Night episode. I also thought it would make it more interesting

Aaron sat down at the table in the library, trying to translate the dictionary in front of him and Twilight reading next to him, teaching as best as she could. Aaron, pissed, said, “I can comprehend the equation of life and know how to fix anything that has nuts and bolts, but why can’t I understand the characters in this dictionary?”

“I believe it’s because you are like a newborn anthro filly. You’re still new to the concepts of this different world.”

“I beat the shit out of a god of chaos, no shit several weeks ago, and now you want me to waste my time trying to figure out characters in this dumb book.”

“Hey, that dumb book will help you out in any situation you might find yourself in.”

“Like what? Lavender lady librarian.”

“Stop giving me nicknames and just call me Twilight. Anon, it’s rude not to respect what I respect.”

“Hey, don’t you have a letter you need to write today?”

“Oh, you’re right, but honestly, I don’t know what to write.”

“Why not see if your friends need help or you could write about you helping me like a “Good Friend”.”

“Great idea, Anon. I’ll be back. Please try to learn something.”

“*Sigh*fine, I’ll try, no promises.I honestly don’t know if I’ll be able to grasp this language.”

Aaron sat at the table for a while before he passed out in boredom and overstimulating knowledge. In the dream world, Aaron was lying in the shade of a tree in the grass, enjoying the breeze. Luna entered the dream and asked, “What do you think?”

Aaron opened his eyes and saw Luna in a beautiful regal dress. Aaron replied, “You look like the moon during a super phase.”

“Let me guess, the dress makes me look fat!”

“No, not at all. When the moon on my planet is in its super phase, it’s considered bright and beautiful. That’s what I mean, by a super phase. I would never insult you. I don’t think we are at that level of maturity and friendship.”

Aaron lifted his arm into the sunny sky and showed what he meant by showing the moon in a super phase in his dreams. Still dressed in her regal attire, Luna watched with stunned silence at its beauty. Then, realizing what Aaron said got flustered and asked, “You think we are beautiful and brilliant?”

“Of course you are! Look at you and the moon and in comparison; I mean sure it radiates a bright beautiful sight. But it pales incomparable to your stunning beauty. Luna, you control the moon and its light. I think that tells you something about your beauty.”

Aaron, meaning every word he meant, watched as she got closer, kissed him on the cheek and said, “Thank you for the compliment and kind loving words.”

“Look, I’m not just a hype man, Luna, though I will help you grow your confidence. I think you have the potential to become a beautiful, confident leader. You need someone to help pull that confidence out right now, but I’m sure you’ll do well on your own in a couple of weeks.”

Luna hugged Aaron and smiled, then teleported out and back into her dreams. Aaron woke up, looked around, and saw two eyes looking back at him and a gentle motherly smile. The said anthro was Celestia, who was forced to show up because Twilight was going crazy this afternoon. Aaron asked, “What?”

“So, are you helping my sister regain her confidence these past several weeks? Because she is pretty close to acting like she used to before she got sent to the moon.”

“Yeah, I’m helping her. Why? Do you want a confidence boost as well?”

“Maybe.”

“Sit before me, and I’ll see what I can do.”

Celestia smiled, moved in front of Aaron, and sat down. Aaron looked into Celestia’s eyes, and his eyes got a little brighter as he looked. Aaron said, “Celestia, your wisdom and grace illuminate Equestria with unmatched brilliance. Your leadership fosters harmony and kindness.”

Celestia smiled and replied, “You truly have a way with words.”

“Not really; it’s just me pointing out the obvious, of course. I’m sure you have others telling you these things all the time.”

Aaron looked at her and walked her out the door, and she kissed him on the cheek again and said, “I’ll see you again, but probably much later, like a couple of months later or sooner I’ll have to see my schedule.” Anon stood and watched her leave, still holding his gaze on her. Flutter Shy stood behind him and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Aaron, not paying attention, responded, “If I could see her panties. Red lingerie fits her even though she has a white co-. “ Aaron flinched and turned to see Flutter Shy smiling at him, and Aaron, scared, said, “Twilight needs to put a bell on you or something because you startled me.”

Flutter Shy, still smiling, asked, “Do you want to help me with my animals sometime soon?” Aaron replied, “I guess I could help, but I’ll be busy learning your guy's language, so no promises, ok.” Flutter Shy passed by Aaron and headed back to her house. Aaron watched her sauntering away from him and realized what she was doing. He shook his head. Aaron thought out loud, “What is wrong with me? Why am I noticing things like this, and what’s with this FUCKING HEAT?” Aaron, confused, felt a heat in his chest burning slowly and annoying enough to piss him off.

Twilight later in the night, I headed into the Library only to see Aaron sitting there writing words in his language and then rewriting them in Equish. She smiled and asked, “So, what do you know so far, Anon?”

“Only rudimentary things like three-letter words. Probably the worst thing I’ve ever had to redo.”

Twilight nodded and then, confused, asked, “What do you mean, Redo?”

Aaron responded, “It’s like redoing elementary school and trying to figure out a dead language as a dyslexic child.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means it sucks, Twilight, and now this heat is frustrating me and ripping into my patience.”

Aaron stood up, went outside, and started doing push-ups tell the heat died. He got up and went back into the library, and Twilight watched from the window and then asked as Aaron came back in, “How many times have you been doing this?”

“This has been happening ever since Celestia showed up and kissed me on the cheek.”

“Celestia kissed you on the cheek again?”

“I got bored of studying and fell asleep, then woke up to Celestia next to me. Then she wanted a compliment, and I gave her one, and she kissed me on the cheek again.”

Twilight nodded and then looked at Aarons's face, and she got closer, almost to the point her eyes were on his cheeks. Aaron, confused, asks, “What are you looking at and can you fix this or not?” Twilight backed up and said, “I can’t thanks to your absorbent properties.”

“Dam, I’ll have to find another way to fix this.”

Aaron stood up and left to go to bed.

————————-A week later—————————-

Twilight watched as Aaron kept doing push-ups to the point he was doing several hundred in rows. Aaron stopped and said, “That should be good enough to last the night and tomorrow.”

“Just ask Celestia to fix this, Anon!”

“Never! Just because she didn’t like the compliment I gave her compared to her sister’s. Just shows her pettiness.”

“I’m sure there’s more to this than that.”

“Ok, Purple Smart! Then please explain why I have a comfortable cold at night and a heat-…. Oh, my nonexistent goddamn it.”

“What, why are you saying that-… oh.”

Luna stood in front of the library in her costume, which made her look like a nerd. Aaron stared at her, and Twilight was in a star swirl, the bearded costume for Nightmare Night. Aaron, wearing his regular new clothes, is not particularly interested in the holiday. Luna smiled happily as Aaron was standing by Twilight. Aaron asked,”Luna, what are you doing here?”

“My sister said I should go out and enjoy the holiday festivities, and she said that you and her student would accompany us in our fun.”

“So Celestia pawned you off on Twilight and me.”

“Hardly, Aaron; I wanted to enjoy Nightmare Night with my Student and her friends, as well as my Sister.”

Aaron stood there and watched as Celestia appeared off the side of the library dressed up as a gothic version of herself. Aaron with an expression that said, “Kill me.” Celestia gently smiled, and Luna was none the wiser, just happy to see Aaron face to face.

Celestia, confused, asked, “Aaron, where is your Costume?”

“Sorry, Princess, I don’t do Halloween.”

“What?”

“Right it’s called Nightmare Night now, look I don’t find the whole scaring anthros and candy collection interesting.”

“Oh, come on, Anon, it’s fun.”

“Look, even if I wanted to, I can’t. I don’t have a costume, and I’m not interested in that stuff.”

Rainbow Dash snuck up on Aaron and shot a lightning bolt at him, and as the bolt struck him, he didn’t flinch. Aaron turned around and saw Rainbow Dash holding back a laugh, only to realize the lightning didn’t scare him. Rainbow Dash, confused, flew off as fast as she could. Aaron, pissed, said, “This means war, bitch.”

Luna quizzically asked, “What’s Bitch mean?”

“It’s a degrading word that means female dog where I come from and later adopted to mean a rude woman or, in your case, a mare that pisses you off.”

“Oh, so you think Rainbow Dash is a bitch.”

“At the moment, yes. I’m not saying Rainbow Dash is always, so don’t just tell people to call her that.”

Celestia and Luna shrugged, and Twilight wrote about Anon in her notebook. Aaron started walking, and then Celestia moved faster to stand before him. Twilight, side by side with Celestia, started talking to her, and Luna, in wonder, looked around. Aaron stared off to the side, remembering something from his past. Luna looked at Aaron in contrast to his neutral demeanor. Aaron then thought of something to himself and then spazzed out a bit as if specific muscles tensed up and another bolt of lightning struck him.

The loudest slap could be heard, and a moan from Celestia’s mouth. Aaron’s eye twitched when he realized his arm was in the air, and a twinge of pain radiated from his hand. Celestia made a face Luna thought she would never make. Luna giggled, and Twilight stood there in shock. Aaron turned around and looked up at Rainbow Dash, who watched with a bemused expression. Aaron felt fear as Celestia stood over Aaron in her goth heels and as he turned around and saw her face. Aaron realized he was fucked.

Aaron, scared, said, “Would you look at the time? It’s time for me to return to the Library and work on my verbs.”

“Oh, right you are, Aaron. We are going back to the library but for a different reason.”

“That’s not fair. It wasn’t even me. It was Rainbow Dash. She struck me with the lightning bolt.”

“Aaron, you showed no effect when the lightning struck you the first time earlier.”

Aaron stood there, slumped his shoulders, and walked back with Celestia to the Library. Celestia smiled and said, “Rainbow Dash, you are to follow as well.”

“Dang it.”

Rainbow Dash flew to Aaron’s side and hid behind Aaron, scared of her punishment. Aaron, pissed, said, “You know this is your fault right.”

“Shut it. If anything, you didn’t have to slap Princess Celestia’s juicy-…”

“*Cough* I would appreciate it if you can refrain from saying anything you might regret.”

Aaron silently walked with Rainbow Dash sticking her tongue out at him and Aaron not taking the bait wouldn’t stoop to her level. Celestia opened the library door, and Aaron followed her as she walked in. Rainbow Dash also walked in behind him.

Celestia sat at the table, and Aaron stood beside Rainbow Dash on the other side. Celestia smiled and asked, “Why did you slap my butt, Aaron?”

“Well, I saw it in that goth dress and thought how much would it jiggle if I put my strength into it.”

“Hmm, Rainbow Dash, why did you electrocute Aaron and make him slap my butt.”

Rainbow Dash, slightly confused, glanced over to Aaron, who was looking at her for an answer, and he winked with his right eye. Rainbow caught the hint and responded, “Princess, Anon has shown no sign of it affecting him before the slap. So I believe he was doing it on purpose to blame me.”

“Is what Rainbow Dash said true, Aaron?”

Aaron looked at Celestia dead and said, “You caught me, Princess. I saw you in that costume and knew it made me feel some way. You got me down bad for what you bring to the table, baby.”

Celestia waved Rainbow Dash away and then waited for her to leave the Library. Aaron stayed and, exhausted, breathed out a sigh, he looked at Celestia and said, “I know you felt the electricity through that slap, and you know it was her fault.”

“Even if it was her fault, I want to know why you took the blame?”

“Because I understand what it means to protect those around me, and don’t worry, I’ll get her back for it.”

“How?”

“Boost her ego and then drop it like a sack of potatoes off a cliff.”

“I’ll trust you, but ensure she learns her lesson.”

“I will…..So, was it you who put the uncomfortable heat in my chest?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Aaron watched as Celestia stood up and had Aaron follow her back to Twilight’s group. Aaron glanced down for a second and realize something but kept his mouth shut about it. Aaron walked a little closer to Celestia and a little to her left. Celestia was not paying attention to what was happening.

Aaron kept his head facing forward, but his eyes were glued to the hole in her goth latex pants where he could see a little of the red panties she had on. Aaron looked back up when people started appearing in ones and twos. Luna and Twilight were bobbing for apples, and Celestia excitedly walked faster to get try. Aaron, knowing what was going to happen, followed closely with a scared pit in his stomach. He had to think of something fast before she did something that would get him into trouble because he didn’t say anything about it earlier.

Celestia got to the line where Apple Jack was working the Bobbing for Apple's stand. Aaron looked around and saw that it was the one thing that would save him. Aaron ran off without Celestia noticing his disappearance.

Aaron busted open Rarity’s door, and Rarity was nowhere to be seen. That’s when he grabbed the stretchy latex pants hidden in her closet behind all her other clothes. Aaron laughed and said, “I fucking knew it!”

Aaron ran back after closing Rarity’s door the best he could and headed to Celestia’s side again. Aaron thought to himself, “Now comes the tricky part.” Aaron gestured to Luna so that she could come over to him. She walked over to him, and he showed the hole in Celestia’s pants initially where Aaron’s hand had slapped her ass cheek.

Luna shrugged, whispering, “What do you want me to do about it?”

Aaron whispered, “Turn invisible and wait for her feet to step in the leg holes, and as she bends down, go up with the pants and cover her.”

“How do you know something bad will happen?”

“News flash, Luna, something bad always happens… look, just do it. I’ll block the original pants tearing as best as I can.”
Luna nodded, cast an invisible spell on herself, and knelt, slowly situating the new latex pant legs. Celestia moved and stepped right where Luna knew she would. As Celestia started bending down and she felt her latex pants rip, a new pair appeared on her and in her size like new. She stopped and looked around only to see Aaron standing in the opposite direction, blocking the line from seeing anything.

Celestia was surprised and noticed Luna appeared frazzled and breathing heavily next to Twilight. Celestia smiled and bent over to Bob for her apple. Aaron saw all of it in that split second before Celestia straightened her back to the tear. Her red lingerie wiggled its way to his head, and the worst part was she had a wedgie and Aaron could see her slight pink pussy lips. The uncomfortable heat came back painfully. Aaron fell to his knees and started breathing heavily.

Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Apple Jack noticed Aaron fall to his knees and shaking violently. Aaron held his hand out to keep his friends from what was happening. Aaron yelled into the air loudly, “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!” When he cried, a large flame came out as if he were breathing fire. Celestia watched the flame come out and wondered how this could have happened. With the same thought process, Luna watched as the flame rose several feet.

Aaron felt the heat leave immediately, and he kneeled with his head on the ground and eyes closed, breathing deeply. The cold rushed through his body to calm him down. Aaron got up and started walking away. The majority thought that was a magic trick and started clapping. Aaron, angry, wondered why his body was acting up like this. That’s when Rainbow Dash put several lighting clouds out around the corner, waiting for the next person to come around the corner. As she saw Aaron, it was too late.

The clouds shot off the lightning, hitting Aaron was absorbed into his body like the one lightning strikes. As Aaron was being electrocuted, he felt the energy surge into his body. Rainbow Dash watched as Aaron stood in place. The lightning still connected to his body was draining the clouds of all the lightning.

Aaron flopped to the ground and lay there for several minutes. Rainbow Dash knew that if Celestia saw this, she would undoubtedly be in more trouble than Aaron with her little stunt earlier. She dragged Aaron to Flutter Shy’s cottage. Flutter Shy and Rainbow Dash heaved Aaron onto her couch. Flutter Shy asked, “How did this happen?”

“Well,….Anon was walking past me and collapsed in front of me out of nowhere.”

Flutter Shy looked at Rainbow Dash and went back to Aaron, who was lying on the couch. With a single burp, a flame and smoke came from his mouth. Flutter Shy flinched slightly from Aaron's burping. Rainbow Dash left as fast as she showed up, and Flutter Shy turned around and sat next to him, humming a gentle tune while brushing her hair, but for some reason, her thought couldn’t stop from looking at Aaron’s lips.

Flutter Shy looked back at him sleeping, and she looked around. She even got up to see if someone was there or watching. Then she moved back to Aaron; the more she looked at him, the closer she got to his face. She was about to, that’s when she heard a knock on her door.

Has she got up to go to the door? Aaron’s body unconsciously moved and grabbed her hand. Flutter Shy blushed and removed her hand from his, and with a pounding heart, she made it to the door. She opened it and saw Twilight, Apple Jack, Luna, and Celestia looking at her. She smiled and then Apple Jack with Rainbow Dash’s ear in her hand. Flutter Shy opened the door, and the group walked in.

Flutter Shy asked, “What’s wrong? Rainbow Dash said Anon passed out in front of her.”

“Oh, Anon passed out before her, but not for no reason. She struck Anon not once, not twice, but three times tonight, and that’s not even the worst part.”

“What’s the worst part?”

“I have to pay for the broken door to Rarity’s house and have Anon go and apologize to her for breaking said door.”

“That sounds awful. Why’d Anon break the door down?”

Celestia interrupted the conversation, saying, “That’d be me as the reason. The second time Rainbow Dash struck Aaron, he spazzed out, slapped my butt, and in doing so, moved the electricity from his body to mine, burning the latex pants to my costume.”

“I’m sorry that happened to you. But I don’t see how that relates to breaking Rarity’s door down.”

“Well, I wanted to bob for apples, and Aaron had to run to Rarity’s house and pick up a new pair of latex pants for me, and in doing so, saved me from embarrassment and a headache.”

Flutter Shy listened and felt something tug on her, and in a startled “eep,” Aaron had pulled Flutter Shy in a hug on the couch. Shocking, the rest of the group watched as Aaron snorted and went back to quietly sleeping, this time in a relaxed manner.

Celestia and Luna watched as Flutter Shy tried to pull out of his grasp, but she was stuck. Aaron wasn’t letting go. Flutter Shy, scared, said, “I appreciate the affection, but please let me go, Anon.” Flutter Shy spiraled into a quiet tizzy. Luna and Celestia giggled and said, “It looks like Aaron just wanted a cuddle buddy.”

“I wish that was me.” Twilight frowned in jealousy.

“I reckon he’ll wake up in an hour or two; best leave’ em here for now.”

Luna and Celestia nodded in agreement and headed out to enjoy the rest of the festivities. Twilight followed them, and Apple Jack pulled Rainbow Dash with her to scold her. Flutter Shy stuck in Aaron’s arms as the feeling of safety and comfort rushed over her. She wiggled up a little so she could nuzzle his cheek with hers. Flutter Shy was about to nuzzle Aaron only to get the same feeling. She went in for a kiss but found wanting more. Flutter Shy kissed Aaron profoundly and passionately, pushing her tongue into his mouth, wrapping her tongue around his tongue and tasting salad and toothpaste on Aaron’s sleeping form; she pulled out of the kiss and felt heat grow in her chest and move to her face as she was flushed with satisfaction.

Flutter Shy lay on Aaron’s body as his cuddle buddy slowly falling asleep in his arms, with a smile on her face.
