The night was finally dawning and the party guest were filing one by one. the town dj,Vinyl Scratch, had already set up her booth and was testing her equipment for the proper sound. the guest were standing around talking as Pinkie Pie, with Fluttershy's help, began setting up the table. Rarity who was too busy obsessing over the decorations to notice that the mail mare had fallen through the roof landing on her.

"owww. Derpy how did you ever become the mail mare for this town" Rarity whinned and complained "my dress is simply ruined."

Derp blushed and slightly retreating back "i just don't know what went wrong " she exclaimed taking off her uniform and hanging it up.

Music began to play as Vinyl donned her shade taking her persona of Dj Pon-3. Everypony began to to sway and groove to the beat. Scootaloo flew in and joined her friends on the dance floor.

Vinyl got on the mic and smile yelling "LET THE BASS DROP!" and it did. everypony began to cheer loudly dancing harder than be for. it was a new song from Vinyl's album that had not been released yet. Naginata walked in and spotted Shadow Flare and joined him on the dance floor.

Shadow smiled and laughed at his friend who was acting like he had no idea what he was doing "come on Nagi we know your a heavy partier and we are on break. LET LOSE!!" he exclaimed as he began to shuffle his way across the floor.

Naginata smiled and followed suit as the began an old routine they did back in school " you know me all too well."

He stopped and walked over to the punch bowl and poured two drinks as he walked over to Pinkie who was dancing with Twilight Sparkle "for my lovely lady."

Pinkie laughed and kissed his cheek as she took the drink "Awww well thank you Nagi."

Twilight smirked and looked off to the side "are you enjoying the book i gave you"

Naginata nodded and shuffled in place "yes its helping me learn about Ponyville's history."

Pinkie smiled and squeed happily as the the music played "LET KICK THIS PARTY UP. HIT IT DJ!!"

Vinyl's smile widened as she turned up the music and spun a third record now instead of two, mixing new with the old. It sent everypony into shock and awe as the bass kicked. it was all every pony needed to make the party hype.

Naginata finished his drink and grabbed Pinkie and began to dance "now isn't this familiar."

She grew wide eye and tilted her head "Is it. cause if your talking about the last part then there wasn't nearly as many people?" she exclaimed having know clue what he was speaking off.

"Rainbow Dash was right you are random" he said with a chuckle.

"I am?" Pinkie said adorning a smile.

Naginata sighed and pulled her close "Just kiss me silly."

before they could lock lips the Princess of the sun approached them wearing and exuberant smile "and how are my loyal subjects doing."

Naginata nearly dropped Pinkie and bowed "hello Celestia i have set up your your pedestal for the rising of the sun. shall i show you?"

Celestia nodded and stopped dancing "please proceed" she said now dawning a more serious look.

Naginata headed out the bakery as he rubbed his ears" this way please.

Celestia followed him looking at all the at the decorations for festival " you all did very well on preparations."

Naginata stopped and held his head as he fell on one knee "forgive me my queen."

She extended her hand and helped him up "you still have gotten better, before you had no control over Nagi."

Naginata took her hand and stood "It's getting better with practice and the festival will begin soon since night has fallen."

Naginata looked around to see a few pony leave the party and begin to set up their stands for business. Celestia had taken the time to disguise her self to fit in and relax as Naginata watched her. she had given up her wings for the time being and shrunk in size.

"How does this look?" the princess exclaimed fixing her hair.

Naginata bowed and rubbed his head "you look fine my lady."

He recovered from his bow to see the Celestia had left to mingle with the other who we now leaving the party. the festival had begun but, the Naginata couldn't help but feel unsettled in the moment of peace.

Scootaloo had walked up to him and tugged on his shirt " you ok in there you look lost.

Naginata shook his head and looked at her "no….no I'm fine just a little unsettled thats all."

He looked up and closed his eye "go on and enjoy the festivities."

Scootaloo hugged her father and smiled "i can never repay you for all you have done for me."

Naginata hugged her back and held her close " just being all you can be is enough."

Naginata spread his wing and took to the skies as he landed on a near a lake close to the Everforest .he hovered over the lake and began to retreat to his subconscious.

he walked throughout the darkness of his mind and stopped in a white room and looked at the black and white haired figure in the middle "Nagi wake up I'm here to speak with you."

Nagi woke slowly with glowing eyes and sighed "and here i thought i would be able to rest and not have to do any thing for a long while."

Naginata smirked "shut and listen" he barked.

Nagi retreated back a bit "Ow. Thats harsh bro what did i do?"

Naginata sighed " I need you to know who is in charge. you may have control at night but i can revoke the privalige."

Nagi noded and smiled moving around his counter part "fine but i want to be able shed some blood once in a while."

Naginata extended his hand and smiled "agreed."

Nagi took his hand and smiled darkly " agreed."

They shook as Naginata began to walk out the room leaving his counterpart behind to rest. He opened his eyes and headed back to the festival as he landed in the crowd who were eagerly awaiting the rising of the sun.

Applejack walked up and leaned her arm on Naginata's shoulder " well hey ya'll made it. were you doing your fancy sleep standing thing."

Naginata chuckled "something like that" he looked up at the pedestal as Celestia walked up " its beginning."

A group of to the side began to play horns as Celestia spread he wing and began to raise bringing the sun with her. the audience watched in awe but something was wrong. half way into the sky a bolt of dark magic flew past the princess as she stopped. it was panic and chaos as everyone began to run in various directions. Naginata materialized a katana from his palm and cut through another bolt of dark magic.

"Twilight get a force field around the princess" he yelled as he sliced through more magic bolts.

"Got it" Twilight ran up to her teacher and erected a shield as Naginata fended off the attacks.

The attacks ended as Naginata withdrew his katana as everything calmed down. Celestia finished her task of raising the sun. She looked around at her subjects not knowing what to say.

Celestia cleared her throat "my loyal subject i must say i really enjoyed the festival even due to the events and i hope to do this again next year. I know a lot of you are afraid and worried and i will look into what has happend here today."

The town muttered as they began to disperse and nodded.

Celestia looked around and sighed " Twilight Sparkle i must ask you and your friends to join me in Canterlot at once."

Twilight nodded as the rest of the mane 6 gathered around "we will meet you there Princess Celestia."

They went their separate ways as Naginata sat on the ground "are you ok Celestia?"

She nodded and smiled "you and your friend are very skilled i could use someone like you two around Canterlot."

Naginata chuckled and smiled " I will consider it and I'm surprised you could see Shodow Flare too."

"well i can't reveal all my secrets" She smirked.

Without another word Celestia had disappeared with a flash. Naginata walked back wearily to his house as everyone had gone in for the day. Scootaloo was already asleep and Pinkie Pie was laying next to her. Naginata smiled and covered them up, falling over on the floor with another cover.
