Chapter 1: Another Lesson

Chapter 1

Another lesson

“And that is another thing Nightmare. Don’t threaten people when they bump into you.” Slayer said to me. I sighed and nodded as I scratched the midnight blue hoodie on my body.

My form was shrunk so that I was smaller than Slayer’s shoulders and my coat was no longer black, but a navy blue. My eyes had changed to those of a normal pony, but sadly I still had my fangs and wings, but my wings were thankfully covered by a nice blue hoodie.

Slayer was wearing a Plaid style Grey and black jacket with a light grey hoodie while his legs were covered in a set of jeans. Under his jacket was a simple white shirt.

“Oh alright. But his reaction was at least funny!” I said smiling accidentally revealing my fangs. He tapped me on the nose with a finger before I snorted and wiggled my nose to get rid of the sudden feeling.

“No smiling your fang ridden smile.” Slayer said smirking. I just huffed and nodded again. “We have to get you to be normal in today’s society.”

“Fine...” I sighed out before walking closer to him as a small group of Human males, laughing and playfully shoving each other walked past. Just as we walked past them, one let out a whistle and both Slayer and me turned to see a Human with a smirk on his face.

“Damn girl! You accidently shaking that thing or you just trying to catch my eye?” One of the guys said smiling. He looked like a, as Slayer said, ‘A white boy trying to be a rapper’.

“That was one of the worst pickup lines I have ever heard.” Slayer mumbled shaking his head. I just sighed before turning around and walking back down my path. The man behind me start to sound a bit angry, but I paid no mind to it. “Even Church doesn’t that bad of pickup lines.”

“Pathetic.” I said as I walked away.

“Hey! I was talking to you!” I heard his voice get closer before I turned around to see Slayer standing in front of the man with a noticeable frown on his face.

“She doesn’t want to deal with you pal. Back off.” Slayer said in a monotone voice. The man just snorted and got in his face.

“And what are you gonna do about it, punk!?” The man shouted at Slayer. Slayer just blinked before Slayer just pushed him away from his face.

“Well one: I am gonna say that you need to brush your teeth.” Slayer started earning a giggle from me and a laugh from the man’s friends. Then Slayer reached into his coat like he was about to pull something out. “And two: I am going to give you five seconds before I get charged with assault to the highest degree.”

The man’s eyes widened and he stepped back with his hands up. “Okay okay! No need to get violent!” He said sounding a bit panicked.

“Yeah. That’s what I thought.” Slayer said as the man walked back to his friends and they left with the man grumbling as his friends joked at him.

“Well that was.... Rather valient of you.” I said smirking at Slayer. He just smiled before opening his jacket and showing nothing but his T-shirt.

“Heh heh. I bluffed the entire time though.” He said with a shit eating grin. “Humans can be easily dissuaded with the right expression and words.”

“I will have to remember that.” I said smirking before I heard Slayer facepalm.

“Oh dear god what have I just taught you.” He mumbled as I laughed and we both walked down the street. As we walked down the street we noticed a certain couple walking down the street. “HANK! LYRA! Oh my god how are you guys!?”

Slayer walked over to the tall man in the dark black trench coat and gave him a ‘Bro hug’ as he called it before doing the same to Lyra. “Slayer! So good to see you again! How is it at the castle?”

“Eh... You know. Trying not to get annoyed by the guards, servants, and the constant nagging from Church to get him a new gig... Pretty nice!” Slayer said as I walked over to them.

Slayer had taken a job from Church to be his new manager as well as Luna had made her relationship with Slayer public, now making it harder for him to go anywhere. Even had to leave the school to avoid all the ‘Annoyances’. He was not one of those people for paraded his fame, unlike that asshole named Blueblood, and he certainly didn’t like crowds... I found that out the hard way when I accidently lead us into a massive crowd of people on the road.

Didn’t end well for him.

“That is great! We missed you at the school though.” Lyra said with a sad smile.

“Yeah I know, but Luna didn’t want our relationship kept secret. Plus this has made a lot of new couples come out with their relationships!” Slayer said smiling before we all heard a small ring. “Oh shit. One sec everyone.”

Slayer walked away and pulled out his phone before saying. “Talk to me.”

I was simply sitting on my haunches looking between Lyra and Hank with the awkwardness still in the air. “Soooo how are you guys?” I asked with a somewhat fake smile on.

“Good good... How is the ‘Training’ going?” Lyra asked. ‘Oh right Lyra let me into her dorm all those months ago.’

“Great! great.” I said looking away. “I am familiar with most of the new changes in the world although I still a lot of help.”

“Well what has Slayer taught you so far?” Lyra asked with a curious smile.

“Well... I know a decent amount of Technology.” I said raising my hooves and tapping them together as I listed off the things I knew. My knowledge of the new world was limited but I knew enough to get me by. What I knew varied depending on the subject. “And I have yet to learn anything about Human history.”

“Huh, well I guess that is for the best. You don’t necessarily need to know what is going on in a different world if you are going to help out in this one.” Lyra said smiling.

“Yes Church. Yeah... I don’t know! Tell her to get out!...... What do you mean she just keeps saying no?.... Fine fine... Just get your bodyguard to get her out.” Slayer said from behind us. “Well then get her drunk to the point where she passes out and have your bodyguard escort her out...... Yes. Yea... Alright bye.”

“You all done over there?” I asked as I turned to see Slayer putting his phone away.

“Yeah. Apparently a fan mare got into his suite and was attempting to make love to him.... In the ‘I’m not going to take no for an answer’ type of way.” Slayer said shaking his head.

“Well that works.” Lyra said snickering.

“Well we have to get going. It’s about time for Nightmare’s curfew.” Slayer said stretching a bit. “And I can go home and go to bed.”

“Oh it’s not that late, it’s only like five.” Lyra said looking at a clock in the store next to us.

“Yeah but when you are in a relationship with a nightowl of a mare, then your schedule is gonna get messed up.” Slayer said giving a small yawn as Lyra nodded in agreement. “Welp let’s go Nightmare... Wait where did I park?”

“Oh brother.” Hank said facepalming.

(~~~~~~~~~~~~/)

We arrived back at the castle where the guards saluted or nodded as we passed them. Slayer just groaned and shook his head at the guards.

“I reeeeeeally don’t like being saluted.” Slayer mumbled as we entered the castle. Slayer smiled as he took a breath in from the air of the castle and sighed. “Well at least I am practically home.”

I laughed before we both began to walk down the hallway. As we began to walk Slayer’s phone rang again. He pulled out his phone before he answered it.

“Sup?... What do you mean that you are arriving?” He said going to a window and looking out over the courtyard and at the gate. He looked around before he nearly dropped his phone with a expression that was a mix of confusion, awe, and a look that almost said ‘Are you kidding me?’. “.... Oh fuck all of kinds of duck.”

Then he turned to me and said. “Guess who.”

(~~~~~~~~~~~~/)

We both ran back into the courtyard were Church was standing there with at least twenty guards surrounding him. “Well, okay... Hi to you too.”

“God damn it Church.” Slayer mumbled as we both approached Church and the guards. “Everyone go back... To... Whatever the hell you were doing.”

The guards all just nodded and went back to their posts and patrols as Slayer walked over to Church. “So what did you do now to cause that? Did you prank a guard again?” Slayer asked crossing his arms.

“I might have... Ruined the gate.” Church said jerking a thumb behind him. Slayer just leaned over to look over his shoulder before seeing the gate which was on the ground with a car on top it.

“.... For the love of god of Church. Why?!” Slayer said glaring at Church.

“What?! Its called The Druid Plow for a reason.” Church shot back.

“I can’t believe this. Ever since Celly got you that car.” Slayer said shaking his head.

“Hey! Me and my buddies built it!... Or well Celly bought the parts.” Church said shrugging.

“And you bought the paint job.” Slayer said simply. I walked by Slayer and Church to take a look at the car(Just imagine A skull with wing instead of fire on both sides). It was... Well... No one is going to want to steal it, that for sure. The car was currently, spewing out heavy metal at extreme volume.

“And turn that shit down!” Slayer yelled from behind.

“Hey! Its not shit! Its from the mouth of metal!” Church yelled over his shoulder.

“It’s shit when you are blaring it! Just turn the damned thing off!” Slayer yelled back.

“Hey! Its not blaring.” Church said as he walked over to his car. “Its on moderate levels.”

“Yes it is blaring!!” I yelled covering my ears with my hooves.

“Bah,” Church scoffed as he leaned in to the car and turned off and took out the keys. “no one have any appreciations for heavy metal now a days.”

“Oh hush up.” Slayer said before waving us both over. “Now come on! Celly will be happy to see you!”

“No appreciation for fucking heavy metal.” Church muttered as he walked up behind Slayer.

(~~~~~~~~~~~~/)

“CHURCHY!!” Celestia yelled out as she tackled Church to the ground.

“Yay, so... Oh man...” Church muttered out. “I’ve been on a tour non stop for a week. Shit drains you...”

“Hey, you wanted that. Don’t blame me.” Slayer said as he walked over while I was giggling at the sight of the ‘great and powerful ruler’ acting like a schooly filly.

“Yeah pretty awesome meeting new people and ponies, except this last concert... Thingy... Whatever, I did though find out how fast The Druid Plow can go.... And not gotten a single scratch on it.”

“You broke the gate again... Didn’t you?” Celestia said.

“Uh-huh.” Church said with a smile as he nodded. Celestia sighed and just continued to Nuzzle against Church as Slayer walked over to the wall and leaned against it while he pulled out his phone and began to write something on his phone.

“I’m surprised that, you guys didn’t hear the engine from across equestria, that thing roars like a beast.” Church said.

“You got a new gig by the way.” Slayer said as he moved something around on his phone’s screen.

“Oh yay! More touring and doing random shit.” Church said with a fake smile.

“Oh it’s not for a week though.” Slayer said putting his phone away.

“Hm... Well more time to spend in my car.” Church said happily.

“What no time for me?” Celestia said being all pitiful and pouting while looking up at Church with puppy eyes.

Church just looked at Celestia before grabbing his chest and faking a heart attack. “Nyeeeeaaahhhghahahageheh... eh..”

“Damn it. Now I have to get the defib unit. Meaning my paintball gun.” Slayer said beginning to walk away.

“Oh god no!” Church yelled out as he snapped awake.

“See it works!” Slayer said smiling.

“Shut up! And yes Celly I has time for you.” Church said.

“Yay!” Celestia said hugging Church a bit tighter.

“So... What has everyone been up to when I was away? I mean sure listening to my engine roar in the midst of night might be fun but... I severely doubt that you did that.” Church said.

“Well... Other than getting you a new tour and teaching Nightmare here.” Slayer said patting me on the head. “Not much... Can’t go back to the school though. Which blows... Never thought I say that.”

“Oh don’t worry! I can get you in there! Just grab The Druid Plo-..” Church began.

“NO! You are not ramming that car through the school!” Slayer said firmly.

“B-but!” Church began.

“No buts! You just aren’t.” Slayer said firmly like he was scolding a child.

“Aww...” Church whined. “Well how about you Celestia?”

“Well.... I have been dealing with Changeling relations mostly.” She said tapping her chin.

“Huh... Sounds interesting... Anyhow....”

“More like boring...” Another voice in the hallway said. Everyone looked down to see...

“CHRYSALIS!?” I almost screeched with a massive smile on my face.

“NIGHTMARE!?” Chrysalis yelled in the same manner before we both ran towards each other and pranced in place for a moment while we were both giddy with joy over seeing each other..

“Wut?” Slayer and Celestia said looking between the large Changeling and me.

“You two know each other?” Celestia asked as we both Chrysalis and me turned to look at the small group.

“Well duh!” I said. “We were like the best of friends a millenia ago!”

Then Slayer leaned over to Church. “When did Nightmare become a teenager?”

“So what are you doing in Canterlot? More specifically why aren’t you getting attacked by guards?”

“Oh well I was here to make a small treaty with Celestia. After the events at the wedding, which I won’t go into detail about, I decided that I didn’t want my Children hunted, so I came down here to negotiate with Celestia. So far we have discussed border rules and possible ways to help us feed. So yes, it has been going quite well!” Chrysalis explained. “Also did you see what happened to the gate?”

“Oh that was him.” I said pointing a hoof at Church.

“Hi.” Church said as he innocently waved at Chrysalis.

“Ah... Well, what are you doing here? I thought you were like dead or something.” Chrysalis said poking my side.

“Oh lots of magical stuff I don’t want to go into. It would take too long to explain.” I said rubbing my forehead with a hoof. “Well shall I introduce you too my little group of friends?”

“Sure why not? Have to meet them anyway.” Chrysalis said shrugging before we both walked over.

“Soooo... Who is this again?” Slayer asked pointing to Chrysalis.

“Her name is Chrysalis. She is the Queen of the Changelings!” I said happily.

“Oh really? My little brother is a changeling.” Slayer said smiling.

“Wait what? He is?” Chrysalis asked looking at Slayer.

“Yea. My mom found him in the streets and well.... We adopted him.” Slayer said shrugging before holding out his hand. “I am Slayer by the way.”

“Nice to meet you. And you Church, correct?” Chrysalis said shaking Slayer’s hand before pointing at Church.

“Yeah, pleasure to meet your majesty.” Church said politely. Everyone, except Chrysalis, just stared at him.

“Well someone has manners.” She said smiling back.

“WHAT!?!??” Everyone including me and even Luna who was nowhere to be found.

“Ah! My ears!” Chrysalis whined covering her ears. “Why would all of you scream? That’s so mean!”

“I just trying be polite...” Church said sadly.

“YOU’RE NEVER POLITE!” Slayer bellowed before pointing. “EL STUPIDO!”

“Oh vaya al infierno! hijo de puta locura!(Oh go to hell! crazy bastard!)” Church yelled back before gently pushing Celestia off him and getting up. Slayer just shook his head and glared at Church.

“Dice el burro que al parecer le gusta salir de su propia personalidad!(Says the ass who apparently likes to go out of his own personality!)” Slayer shot back.

“Mi personalidad? ¿No puedo ser educado cuando tengo que hacerlo? idiota!(My personality? Can't I be polite when I have to? idiot!)” Church yelled out.

“Oh, cállate! Usted nunca son educados! Usted dijo una vez a un grifo que le empuja su mano por el culo y usarlo como una marioneta! El fue el Embajador de mierda!(Oh, shut up! You are never polite! You once told a griffin that you would push your hand up his ass and use him as a puppet! HE WAS THE AMBASSADOR!!)” Slayer yelled back.

“What are they saying?” Chrysalis asked before Celestia and Nightmare just shrugged. While they were yelling at each other Luna was walking in rubbing her head with a hoof that was covered by her less that regal appearing mane. The two humans continued for a moment before Luna growled and walked up to both of them.

“WILL THEE SHUT UP!? THINE’S RACKET IS KEEPING US AWAKE!” Luna bellowed. Then Church and Slayer both turned to her before each yelling something in a different language.

“Légy csendben! Beszélünk!(Be quiet! We are talking!)” Slayer yelled in, randomly, hungarian.

“Silentium mulier! Nulla in hac!(Silence woman! You have no say in this!).... Aye aye ayeyey..” Church began to yell before they both turned and saw a pissedoff Luna.

“... Vete a la mierda(Fuck)” Slayer mumbled out in spanish before looking to Church. “Ejecutar?(Run?)”

“Ejecutar.(Run.)” Church said nodding to Slayer before both of them bolted past us. Slayer going down a random hallway and Church running towards the door to the court yard.

“GET BACK HERE YOU TWO!!!” Luna bellowed again before flying after Slayer. In a moment all was quiet for Celestia, Chrysalis, and me.

“Sooooo.... Coffee?” Chrysalis suggested.

“WE ARE GOING TO KILL THOSE TWO!!!” Luna bellowed again as Slayer and Luna bolted past them again.

“It’s I, Luna! Not we!” I yelled after her.

“Oh shut up! We are not part of you anymore!” Luna yelled as they rounded the corner.

“... So about that coffee?” Celestia said standing up and walking down the hall.

“I love some.” Chrysalis and I said. As they rounded a corner they heard a very loud roar before something screech and a loud crash was heard.

“Well... I always wanted to crash through the doors of the school.” You could faintly hear church say in the background.

“Damn it Church.” Celestia said facehoofing.

“AUGH! MY ARM!” Slayer yelled form some part of the castle. “NOT THIS AGAIN! PLEASE!”

“.... Where is the kitchen?” Chrysalis asked as they walked down the halls.

“Right this way! Might grab some aspirin for Slayer.” I said as I followed them before Luna walked by us saying.

“No. No aspirin for him.”

“Alright?” I said questioningly.

“I think my arm is broken!” Slayer yelled.

“It’s not broken you big wimp!” Luna yelled back.

“I don’t even know what I did wrong!” Slayer yelled again.

“Welp.” I began as Chrysalis, Celestia and me all walked to the kitchen for a nice cup of coffee. “This night was a good one.”

“Agreed.” Celestia and Chrysalis said smiling before we all burst into laughter.

“Should we go help Slayer or Church?” Celestia asked.

“Naw! They will be fine!” I said snickering again.

Chapter 2: A clever title here

Chapter 2:

A clever title here

A few days have passed since Chrysalis and I got caught up in with all that happened while I was away and Celestia was surprisingly helpful as well. They taught me a lot of what Slayer wasn’t able to and today, I was actually meeting up with Chrysalis. She had decided to take me to one area of the castle I had yet to even think of trying because it was the...

“ROYAL SPA!?” I bellowed at Chrys as she smirked and redid her mane.

“Well yes. You don’t honestly think being around all these royal guards is pleasant do you? I have to find a way to relieve stress and since I can’t go and change into some random mare and steal some love, this is the next best thing.” She explained with a smile.

“Oh fine, but did we really have to put these silly fluffy robes on?” I asked as I looked down to see a stark white robe tied around my waist and covering my wings.

“Oh please. Like it’s not that bad.” Chrys said rolling her eyes and walking into the spa.

“Well... I guess they are really soft.” I mumbled before I walked into the Spa with Chrysalis whom was simply standing there and talking to a pony, who was smiling the entire time. “Well that’s new. I thought that ponies hated changelings. No offense.”

“None taken, but they do. It’s just castle personnel are very used to sights of the abnormal. And not all of the servants and help of the castle are ponies you know. Like that guy.” Chrys said pointing to a royal guard that was a human walking by.

“Oh... I haven’t really noticed before.” I said scratching my head.

“Neither did I until one brought me my drink. Then I was like ‘HOLY CRAP YOU’RE NOT A PONY!’... Not kidding I really said that.” Chrys said blushing a bit while I snickered. “He was so nice about it though, he didn’t laugh, but he did giggle a bit, and he explained what happened awhile ago.”

“Really?.... The only contact with humans I have had so far, that I acknowledged anyway, was Slayer, Church, and this one rude guy on the streets.” I said snickering as I thought about how the man turned tail and ran when Slayer feigned getting violent.

“I heard about that! He was all like ‘Hey Imma talkin’ to ya!’ and then that friend of yours was like ‘nope!’ and made him back off.” Chrys said snickering. I tilted my head in wonder and gave her a curious look.

“How did you hear about it?” I asked as a pony lead both of us to a room.

“Luna told me. She apparently was talking to Slayer while she was helping fix him up after she beat him and he told her. Then she told me at breakfast when I tried to start a conversation.” Chrys said shrugging.

“Huh... She still doesn’t like me.” I said a bit glumly. ‘Ya think she would stop holding a grudge after the first 500 years.’

“Eh Celestia was the same with me for a while. Then I said we should at least try to talk and we did and well.... We hit it off pretty well! She still is wary of me, but at least I get greeted with a smile now instead of that strange fake face she wears for the nobles.”

“Huh.... Maybe I should try that.” I said before I was lead into a room with Chrys and we were both laid onto tables before the spa ponies, yes I checked, went to work.

(~~~~~~~~~~~/)

After an amazing twenty minutes at the Spa, I walked out with Chrys feeling... Well to be blunt better than I have in all my existence. I probably would have melted if I had not been aware of Chrysalis’s presence.

“Well what do want to do now?” I asked Chrys.

“Hmm. I still don’t have any meetings with Celestia today and I took you to the spa. How about we do something you want to do?” Chrys said smiling.

“Hmmm.” I hummed as I stuck my tongue out as I concentrated. We walked for a bit before I heard a very familiar sound.

“SON OF A BITCH! How do you even do that!?” Slayer shouted from a room.

“What in Equestria was that?” Chrys asked as she looked in the direction of the sound.

“That was the sound of what we are doing next!” I said skipping to the door. I heard Chrys snicker behind me before saying.

“Phrasing.”

“Oh buck you, Chrys.” I grumbled as we got to the door. We opened up the room and looked inside where Slayer had a headset on and he was extremely into his game which he was playing on a laptop.

“Come on! Don’t die on me just yet! Come on! Just. One. More.” Slayer said as if he was stressed as I walked over to the couch and sat by him and noticed him playing a strange game. It was simply him walking around in a forest with a flashlight.

“What are you playing?” I asked which caused him to suddenly let out a loud yelp, flip his laptop, jump off of the couch, and fall backwards onto the floor. I saw him groan on the floor and I looked over to Chrys who had a ‘The buck just happened?’ face on. “Graceful. Isn’t he?”

With that both me and Chrys laughed as Slayer got off the ground and glare at both of us. “Normally, I would just say ‘great joke!’ and go back to what I was doing... But now. You have made it personal.” He said smiling.... Rather evilly. ‘Okay that is kinda creepy.’ “And with that said, I actually have something planned. Good day!”

And with that, he walked out of the room smiling and gently closed the door while Chrys walked over to me. “.... That was really unnerving.” She said.

“Well... yes it was. But to make matters better I want to show you why we came here in the first place!” I said happily as I walked over and picked up a Xbox remote with my hoof before hopping back to the couch.

“Sooooo... What is this thing?” Chrys said walking over and hopping onto the couch next to me. I smiled happily as I pushed the button on the remote causing the Xbox to spring to life. Chrysalis watched in awe as the T.V. was turned on and I began to play a game that Slayer had left in the Xbox. He apparently was playing a game called Halo 4 before he began to play.... Whatever it was that he was playing.

After about an hour of game play, we heard a knock at the door. “Who is it?” I said pausing my game.

No answer came but another knock was heard. I looked to Chrys and she simply shrugged before getting up and going to the door. She opened it and said. “Heeello?” Before she quickly slammed the door shut. I looked over to see her on her hind legs and her back pressed against the door with a look of terror.

“What’s eating you Chrys?” I said putting my remote down. She just shakily pointed a hoof to the door and began to babble.

“T-T-Ta-a-all-l-l... F-f-f-a-a-ac-c-c-el-l-es-s-ss-s m-man.” She finished before bolted to the other side of the couch and hid behind it. I just rolled my eyes and went to the door as someone knocked again. “D-d-don’t! A-a-answer i-it!”

“Oh pbhbthbt...” I said blowing a small raspberry before going to the door and opening it. I was not prepared for what I saw...

A tall man, about 7ft tall, wearing a black suit and a blood red tie was standing there. As I looked up at his...

“WHERE IS YOUR FACE!?” I screamed as I looked to see nothing but a blank canvas of a head. The... thing just stood there before a freaky fog began to form around him and he slowly began to step inside. I slammed the door before running over to Chrys and hiding next to her.

“I told you not to open the door!” She hissed at me before looking at the door. It has small amounts of that eerie fog was beginning to seep under the door before something even worse happened. When I blinked the fog simply wasn’t there anymore.

I blinked again and looked around, while Chrys did the same. We looked around together for any sign of the beast before I looked to the door. I took a gulp before nodding towards the door with Chrysalis behind me. She slowly nodded and we both began to walk towards the door.

I grabbed the doorknob with my hoof and silently counted to three before swinging the door open wide to reveal....

“Nothing... Phew.” I said looking back at Chrysalis.

“Yeah thank the maker that... thing is gone.” She said shuddering a bit. I nodded and looked to the hallway again before I closed the door and looked back and saw...

“IT’S BACK!!” I screeched and pointed behind Chrys who simply turned and screamed out herself. Before either of us could run the creature had us both in it’s grasp as several black tentacles sprouted from it’s back and began to wave about in the wind like Celestia’s mane.

Both my and Chrys began to shudder before we fell to the ground and heard a very familiar... Laughing!? ‘WHAT!?’ I thought as I opened my eyes and saw the creature on the ground cackling like a mad pony. I looked over at Chrysalis whom was passed out.

“What is going on here!?” I yelled at the monster before it stood up still laughing and reached up with one of it’s hands and pulled it’s nonexistent face off? ‘A mask!?’

The mask was pulled off to reveal. “SLAYER!?!” I screamed out in anger as I saw Slayer shrink down to his normal 6ft tall state and the tentacles disappeared as well. “Wha- how di-... WHAT!?”

“It’s all quite simple.” Slayer said pausing only to laugh. “I made this whole plan when I left! It was easy when you have a god of chaos to help you out!”

“Discord helped you!?” I yelled again stomping over to Slayer.

“Yup! He even helped out with the costume!” Slayer said not noticing me walking over.

“You... you jerk!” I said pouncing onto him and beginning to bite his arms.

“AUGH! Ah! Stop that, it freaking hurts!” He yelled out as I attacked him.

“Not until you say sorry!” I said quickly before biting his arm again. He flailed about trying to get me off before Chrysalis woke up and looked at the scene.

“Uuuhh... Did I miss something?” She asked as I stopped to look at her.

“Yes. Slayer was the strange creature and we are gonna beat him up for scaring us like this.” I said in a matter o’ fact tone. She rubbed her chin with one of her chitin hooves before shrugging and nodding.

“Alright!” She said happily.

“Aw hell naw!” Slayer yelled suddenly pushing me off and running out the door.

“Get him!” I growled out as I took flight and Chrysalis soon followed behind, both of us eager to beat the daylights out of Slayer. We both took off on our wings following the suited man in with the white gloves. As he was running he suddenly stopped causing me and Chrysalis to rocket ahead while he began to run in the opposite direction.

“Holy shit that actually worked!” Slayer yelled running down the halls laughing. I growled in annoyance before turning Chrysalis around and bolting down the hallway after Slayer with Chrys in tow. After a good twenty minute of detours, running, flying, death threats, and somehow Slayer acquiring a water gun, we finally caught up to him and tackled him to the ground.

“Ow! Fuck stop! Fangs freaking hurt you two!” Slayer shouted in agony as Chrys bit his arms and I pummeled him with my hooves. After a good ten minutes we stopped as we all were too tired to continue to do anything. With a groan and a pained sigh, Slayer finally spoke up.

“So you two done or is this just a break?” Slayer said. I tapped my hoof against my chin then shrugged.

“Hmm. Naw I am good for now.” I said simply. I looked over to Chrys whom was sleeping and curled up against Slayer’s side.

“Why does that always happen to me?” Slayer asked to no one as he lifted a pale hand to his head and rubbed his forehead. I shrugged and got off the floor.

“I don’t know, but we might want to take her to her room. She isn’t exactly what you would call a ‘Morning pony’.” I said making quotations in the air with my hooves. “And trust me when I say that when she wakes up, no one will be safe from her bad mood.”

“Right... So wait a minute. You said we...” Slayer said looking at me.

“Well yeah. I am not carrying her because I still can’t do my magic and you owe her one for scaring the unholy daylights out of her.” I said with a ‘Matter O’ fact’ nod. Slayer groaned and got off the ground before he picked up the Changeling queen and held her like a oversized dog in his arms.

“One sec, Nightmare.” Slayer said before fumbling around with his hands and pulling the no-face mask out. “Can’t really resist doing this.”

He put the mask back on before he grew to 7ft tall again and the eerie fog returned. I heard him chuckle a bit as I let out a small shiver. “I love this outfit. Discord is letting me keep it too. Gonna be great for Halloween... Or Nightmare night in this case.” Slayer said beginning to walk. “So lead the way.”

I nodded and began to direct Slayer to Chrys’s room so we could drop her off to properly rest.

After a five minutes we had found Chrys’s room and put her to bed before we left. So we were just kinda walking around right now. What a sight we must have been. Nightmare Moon and ‘Slender’, I believe Slayer called his costume, walking down the halls. Soon Slayer took the mask off and put it in his pocket before sighing. I looked at him curiously before seeing the smile on his face.

“What are you so happy about?” I asked.

“What?” Slayer said looking at me. “Can’t a guy just enjoy the life he is leading?”

“So you are just smiling because you can?” I said.

“Pretty much yeah.” He said with a nod. We walked a bit more before I decided to at least try to make a conversation.

“Sooo... What is on your agenda for today?” I asked with a small smile of my own.

“Hmmm. Not much now. I did a prank. Got beat down for it. Ended up repaying a favor somehow, and now I am walking around.... Guess I could go hang out with Luna some more or go play a videogame to the point where she inevitably kicks me off.” Slayer said snickering. “In all honesty, I am going to go talk with Celestia. She said something important was happening in the week to come.”

“Really? Can I come to listen as well?” I asked with my smile growing a bit larger. Slayer rubbed his chin and then shrugged.

“Why not? I mean, it’s not like we are getting a new Alicorn in the group or anything.” Slayer said laughing. I soon joined in. ‘A new Alicorn? Pfffft HAHAHAHAHAA!’

(~~~~~~~~~~~/)

“WHAT!?” I shouted at Celestia as everyone in the room winced. Slayer rubbed his ear, still in that damned costume of his, while Luna simply glared at me and Celestia sighed. We were all in a room behind the Throne room itself, so that no one would interrupt us.

“Yes, Nightmare. Yes. Twilight will become a Alicorn tomorrow.” Celestia said simply. I groaned and put my face in my hooves.

“Goddesses, why half thee damned mine’s soul?” I muttered slipping into the ‘Old speak’.

“Yeah this is a bit of surprise to me too. More importantly, why was I informed of this? I am not royalty.” Slayer said confused.

“Well one: You are in a relationship with Luna, that is close enough. And two: You knew Twilight Sparkle. Isn’t that reason enough?” Celestia said. “Also I thought you might want to know, so that when your former teacher waltzes into the castle with a nifty set of wings on her back, you WOULDN’T freak out.”

“Ah... Welp thanks. Imma go get all my old school work.” Slayer said getting up. I looked up at him then tilted my head in confusion.

“What why?” I asked.

“Because no doubt, Twilight is gonna give me a ASS load of homework from missing school.” Slayer said sighing. I snickered at him a little before he spoke up again. “I’m not kidding.”

Then he left the room. I looked to the Luna and Celestia, both of whom merely shrugged. I sighed and thanked them for informing me before leaving the room.

(~~~~~~~~~~~/)

As I was walking around the castle, mulling over the new Alicorn thing, I was thinking of how life is going to be like. Twilight didn’t know of me yet, but when she would become a Alicorn she would have to be told and that would mean the end of me or excessive testing on me to determine how on Equus I am still living. I let out a sigh and quietly made a plan in my head to hide in my room and never ever leave it again.

“Yeah that could work.” I mumbled to myself. “Could just exercise in the extra space to keep fit. Could have Slayer or some of the staff bring me food. And could order movies and entertainment through the mail such as gaming consoles and computers.”

I smiled at my plan, but quickly frowned at the fact that, not only did I not have any magic to keep Twilight at bay, but she herself was quite literally the element of magic. I sighed again as that put a massive hole in my plan and stared at the ground as I heard my stomach protest from being empty.

“Yeah yeah, I will get some food in ya. Stupid digestive track.” I mumbled out as I made my way to the kitchen.

After a few minutes, I found the kitchen and opened the door a bit to immediately be assaulted with the smell of different foods and spices. I covered my nose for a moment before I took a small sniff and almost instantaneously began to water. ‘Time to eat!’ I thought as I stepped inside.

(~~~~~~~~~~~/)

After a lovely feast of random food items that the chief generously made for me, I walked out with a small yawn and a tired smile on my face. I slowly and sluggishly made my way back to my room before I slowly began to doze off. I was about half way to my room before I dozed off completely in the middle of the hallway... Still standing. Thankfully I was awoken by someone picking me up and carrying me like I was a large cat.

“Snrk... Who is ho-” I began before pausing for a yawn. “Who is holding me?”

“Who ya think?” Slayer said. I could almost feel the smugness in his grin that he was probably wearing. “Can’t let you sleep in the middle of the hallway, Nightmare. That’s bad for business.”

“Oh shut-” I yawned again. “-up.” I sighed a bit before getting comfy in his arms and laying my head down.

“Hold on now, where is your room? I can’t let you sleep in my arms.” Slayer said still walking. I groaned and looked up at him.

“But whhhhyyy?” I whined a bit. “Whatever you are wearing is like a big quilt.”

“It’s that suit Discord made me.” Slayer said with a bit annoyance in his voice. “He forgot to tell that the damned thing would be stuck on me for the whole fucking day. And tomorrow. Brightside, I don’t need a suit for the coronation and I am better dressed that Blueprick.”

“You really don’t like him do you?” I said laying my head back down and closing my eyes.

“Nope. Ever since I have been staying here, he has literaly been nothing but a nuisance.” Slayer said. “Where is your room by the way? You forgot to tell me.”

“Oh... It’s over on the... Pretty much three hallways away from Luna’s Game Room.” I said waving my hoof in a random direction. I got a grunt in response and slowly slipped into my slumber. I was awoken again by some doors opening and some shoes against carpet. I was slowly laid on a bed, I am going to assume it was mine, and I heard Slayer walk over to the doors before saying.

“Sweet dreams Nightmare.... Well that sounded strange.” He said before walking out and closing the doors as I snickered and fell back asleep. ‘Tomorrow is gonna be a looooooooong day.’

Chapter 3: From Good to Bad?

Chapter 3:

From Bad to Good?

“This is so stupid!” I shouted angrily as I paced inside of Luna’s Game Room. Chrysalis was on the couch, lazily following me with her eyes as she sipped at her soda from a straw.

“You need to stop fussing about it.” Chrys said shrugging, if I was paying attention I would have noticed the complete apathy she was voicing.

“I can’t though! Twilight get’s turned into a Princess TODAY! And that means I have to be ninja for the rest of my life now!” I shouted and continued my angry pacing. “I don’t know what to do!! I can’t go to the coronation because, well one: no one knows I am here. And two: Twilight would fry me with magic if I did go!”

“Moony...” ‘She knows I hate that name.’ “You need to stop fussing.” Chrys said. “Slayer’s not going and he is just as worried as you are. Albeit for different reasons. Maybe you two could work together or something? I dunno.”

“Chrys that’s!...” I stopped as I thought about it. “Actually not that bad of a idea...”

“Well why don’t we go and find him?” Chrys asked putting her drink down and getting up before stretching. I raised an eyebrow at her.

“We?” I asked a bit confused.

“I’m bored.” Chrys said shrugging. I shrugged as well and gave a ‘Why not’ nod while we walked out the door. After a few minutes of walking we heard a familiar voice.

“All I am saying is that if you are going for that is you shouldn’t dress in what you are describing.” Slayer said as we approached a corner. There was a muffled voice before some sighing was heard. “Well just tell’em how you feel. I am sure he will understand if you’re gay.”

This stopped us dead. Both me and Chrys looked to each other before back to the corner. “Should we wait and come back later?” I asked. Chrys was slightly blushing but looked at me then to the corner before she sighed and shook her head.

“That coronation is in a hour. You have to make something of a plan before it happens.” She said as we began to walk towards Slayer’s voice again.

“Yes, I am sure! Just go tell’em!... Oh. He is? Well here just use my phone. Make a date of it.” Slayer said as we round the corner and saw him helping out a beige pegasus pony with a rust red mane. On his flank was a shadow covered by a hammer.

“Y-you sure about this?” The pony asked.

“Yes I am Shade. Just ask ’im. It’s not like he is gonna yell out like a maniac.” Slayer said chuckling. Shade just smiled and took the phone before using his wings to press the buttons and walk down the hall a few steps to have some privacy.

“Hey, Slayer! Who’s your friend?” Chrys said announcing our presence. Slayer turned and saw us before he smiled again.

“Oh hey you two! That was Shade Maker. He is one of the staff.” Slayer said looking at Shade. We all glanced at Shade before Chrys said something a bit inappropriate.

“Soooo... He’s gay?” Chrys asked causing Slayer to laugh out loud and a hoof to connect my face.

“You heard that?” He asked snickering while we nodded. “Well yeah he is. Just go tellin’ anyone, he is a bit shy about it.”

“Huh... I have seen him around he doesn’t seem like the type that... swings that way.” I said looking at Shade from across the hall as he was talking on the phone.

“Yeah imagine my surprise when he asked help about it. He nearly broke into tears when he said he was gay. Thought I was gonna hurt him or something.” Slayer said in a sympathetic voice as he looked to Shade as well. “He apparently met one of the more patriotic humans.”

Me and Chrys titled our heads in wonder. “What do you mean?” I asked.

“Um well... Let’s just say back home, not a lot of people are tolerant of people who are Bi or gay.” Slayer said rubbing the back of his neck.

“And how would you know that? Seen a lot of it?” Chrysalis asked in honest curiosity. Slayer sighed and looked at Shade again. He turned back to us and nodded before there was a small yelp and a cry of joy. We all looked to see the pony running back to us with Slayer’s phone in his teeth and a smile that was easily seen, even with the phone in his muzzle.

He run up and hoofed Slayer his phone back before jumping up and down in excitement. “EEEEEEE!!” He squealed barely able to contain his joy.

“I am assuming he sai-” Slayer began.

“YES! He did! Oooh! I got to go and get ready! Thank you Slayer ya magnificent bastard!” Shade exclaimed shooting into the air to give Slayer a big hug before smiling sheepishly and zipping down the hall at near speeds that I wish I could imagine.

“... Well that went well! Knew that guy would understand.” Slayer said smiling.

“Oh playing match maker are we?” Chrysalis teased. ‘Ooooooh. Bad move Chrys. Baaaad move.’ I thought as I saw the malicious grin spreading across his lips.

“Am I? Have your eye on somepony Chrys?” Slayer said leaning down and smiling at Chrys, causing a very faint blush to appear on her face.

“No, Slayer. I don’t.” She said simply.

“Oh then someone is it?” Slayer said coyly. Chrys blushed a bit harder, but not too much to be noticed right away.

“No! Just stop it, Slayer! You ruined a perfectly good joke.” Chrys said lowering her ears and pouting.

“What? Are you just too busy, imagining his hands gliding all over you?” Slayer said in a low and almost seductive voice making Chrys’s blush turn her entire face bright red as she snapped her head in Slayer’s direction and glared.

“You ass.” She grumbled before pouting more. Slayer just let out a hearty laugh before standing up right and gently patting Chrys on the head.

“Oh you know I am just kidding with you Chrys!” Slayer said taking his hand away as Chrys snapped at his hand with her fangs. “Jeez! Take a joke, girl!”

“No. It’s my job to make dirty jokes at ponies.” Chrys said turning away and pouting a bit making me snicker. Slayer just rolled his eyes before looking to me out of the corner of his eyes and mouthing “Pick’er up to freak her out?”. I almost broke into laughter before nodding rapidly.

Next thing Chrysalis knew was she was being hoisted into the air by an unknown force. She hissed like a snake and flailed for a good minute for she calmed down and went limp in Slayer’s grip. She lifted her head and looked up at Slayer, whom was grinning from ear to ear.

“You love torturing me like this don’t you?” Chrys asked deadpanning. Slayer just nodded and Chrys sighed and shrugged before getting comfy in his grip.

“Woah woah woah, who said this was a free ride?” Slayer asked before a hoof smacked his nose and three bits were magically deposited into his shirt pocket. “Ah. Welp onto the game room?”

“Yeah sure. By the way, we didn’t just come looking for you to chat, but a different reason.” I said as we began to head back to the game room.

“Oh?” Slayer said as we rounded a corner and Chrys lazily followed random objects with her eyes as she was carried. I nodded and told him about how Twilight would most likely experiment or some freaky thing on me in my sleep or possible abuse her newly elected princess privileges to make me part of a experiment. “You really think that Twilight would stoop that low?”

“Maybe! She didn’t seem to like me last time I saw her.” I grumbled. I looked at Slayer, who had a deadpanned expression on. “Okay okay, I know what you are going to say.”

“Yeeeeaaah.” Slayer said snickering. “But in all honesty, I think you are just overthinking it. Worst comes to worst, I will be there to protect you.”

This made my eyes widen, and if I was drinking something a spit would have done a spit take. “WHAT!?” I shouted.

“Ow... What? I was just saying I wasn’t gonna let Twilight experiment on you. Just with less words.” Slayer said shrugging. I just stared for a minute or two before sighing.

“Right right. Anyway we are here... Camp out until Twilight shows up?” I said. Slayer only smiled and nodded before walking in putting Chrys on the couch. I smiled and walked in myself. “I’ll take that as a yes.”

(~~~~~~~~~~~/)

While Slayer was in the middle of a game, Luna came in and laid down in his lap sighing quite heavily. I just kept looking at the screen and saw that Slayer had stopped to hug Luna a bit and move around so she could properly lay down while he played his game.

“Today... Was awful.... Ly boring.” Luna slurred out a in the tired state she was in. “Soooooo much singing.... Even my sister.”

“Oh it couldn’t have been that bad!” Slayer looked at Luna who was glaring at him. “Okay maybe it was that bad.”

“You have no idea what we had to sit through, Slayer.” Luna sighed out. “Just let us sleep for right now. And Nightmare, no using him as a pillow right now. We swear upon our moon that we will slay thee where thou stands.”

I gulped a bit and nodded quietly before scooting away from Slayer. Slayer looked at me before looking at Luna and sighing a bit. he resumed his game for a little bit before he face turned to one of a man who suddenly had a idea. ‘Uh oh.’

“Hey Luna? You asleep?” Slayer said receiving a small snore in response. He smiled happily before he looked to me and sighed. “Sorry about Luna. Like seriously, I am really sorry. I know what you did, and yes I know you came from her hatred of not being loved by other ponies as much as her sister. But I have a plan Nightmare. I have a plan. I am going to get you two to be normal around each other.”

“Um, how? She ha- no... Despises me worse than Church does when someone steals his energy drinks.” I said.

“Yeah, I know. But here is what I am going to do...” Slayer said. “Tomorrow, I am taking the two of you out into town. And I am going to make sure you two talk.”

“And how are you going to make her go?” I asked unconvinced.

“Simple. I just say ‘Celestia needed someone to see how I am teaching Nightmare, and she said you had to do it.’.” Slayer said shrugging. Then he picked up his game remote and continued to play. After a few minutes he paused and looked to the door.

“My gypse senses are tingling.” Slayer said as he looked to the door. Then he looked to me. “I know this is going to sound odd, but I need you to get behind my back.”

“Whhyyyy?” I asked unsure.

“Because I feel as if a certain purple ali-” That was all he needed to say before I plunged myself into the cushions behind him. “Ow.”

That was when the door burst open and I heard some trotting from the side of the couch. I dug a little further into the couch behind Slayer and became still as the hooves stopped in front of the couch.

“Oh hey Ms. Sparkle! How was the coronation?” Slayer asked.

“Oh fine fine. Um. May I ask why Queen Chrysalis is snuggling against your leg?” I heard that dreaded Twilight ask.

“Oh she just moves a lot in her sleep. Kinda like a puppy.” Slayer said.

“Ah. Why is she in the castle I mean? And not guarded?” Twilight asked.

“She is making a peace treaty with Celestia. She is pretty nice lady though. Fun to be around.” Slayer said.  I heard someone sigh, I am assuming it was twilight.

“Alright well I am off to go continue looking around.” Twilight said trotting to the door.

“Anyone you are looking for in particular?” Slayer asked.

“Oh no one really, was just looking for nig- I mean!... heh heh, IGOTTAGOTALKTOMYBROTHERBYE!” She shouted quickly before exiting the room. When the door slammed, I crawled out from behind the couch. I gave a small gasp as I was able to breathe freely again and went to my spot on the couch again.

Slayer chuckled slightly and then a small buzzing noise brought his eyes to his pocket as he reached into it and pulled out his phone. He chuckled before pressing the button on the screen and getting up, much to Luna’s sleep’s pleasure. he mouthed the words. “I have to take this.” Before he walked outside the room saying. “Hey Shade! Hows it going?”

As soon as the door was closed, Luna snapped awake and looked directly at me. “We need to talk, Nightmare.” She said in a voice that sent nervous chills down my spine.

“A-A-Ab-bout what?” I stuttered out. Luna sighed and sat up properly before Chrysalis awoke too.

“Huh wuzzat?” Chrysalis babbled out in her sleepy state before she looked at me and Luna. “Oh yeah, I know what’s going on. I’m out. I am gonna go find Slayer and ask him where I can get a cup of coffee.”

With that she got up and left the room with half closed eyes trying in vain to keep them open long enough so that she didn’t fall asleep in the hall. With Chrysalis gone, Luna looked directly at me. It wasn’t an evil glare, nor anything else. It was just one of those looks that you would get from a parent that practically said ‘We are going to have a talk. And you are mostly likely not gonna like it.’

“Sooo... What is it we are going to talk about?” I asked smiling sheepishly. She just sighed and began.

“As much as we don’t want to admit it, we know that you have feelings for Slayer.” She said bluntly. I sputtered out non-understandable words as I tried to comprehend what she just said. I wasn’t denying the fact, but more or less how she knew.

“H-how do you know?” I asked blushing quite a bit.

“You want the easy version or the hard version?” Luna asked.

“Um... Hard version?” I asked unsure.

“Well to put it bluntly, you weren’t exactly subtle after a while. I mean, falling asleep on him? Snuggling against him while you play a game?” Luna said as if I was stupid, only causing me to blush a bit more.

“Oh yeah well what was the easy version?!” I asked a little annoyed.

“You came from our mind remember? You are going to like the same things we do.” Luna said in a matter O’ fact tone. She was right though. I was once part of her, so I must have picked something up from her when we were separated. “So that brings us to this little talk. So we are going to ask you a question and be honest with us. No lies, no foul right?”

“Okay.”

“Do you like Slayer?” She asked. I looked off for a moment and lowered my head before smiling a little bit. ‘He is really nice to me. Puts up with all my antics. And he lets me lay on him whenever I play a game.’

I looked up still smiling and nodded. “Yes, I believe I do.” I said.

This caused Luna to sigh a bit and scoot over next to me. “Well, we guess there is no other option. Nightmare Moon.” Luna said sternly.

“Y-yes?” I said shakily. She sighed and gently put a hoof on my shoulder, which caused me to slightly flinch.

“If you want to try and get Slayer to make a herd with you and us... As much as we don’t want it, we will accept it. If Slayer says yes, then we will be happy for you.” Luna said with a small smile.

“R-r-really? J-just like that?” I said and she nodded. “Why?”

She sighed and slowly looked around the room before answering. “To be honest, Nightmare, we despise you. You made us do things to ponies, we can never forgive and we despise you greatly for it.” She said simply, which stung a bit, but at least she was honest. “But at the same time, we can’t help but feel as if you are our responsibility. As if we would have not had any of this if we hadn’t made you out of our anger.”

She let out breath then looked at me. “As much as we don’t like to admit it, you are us in your own way. And we can accept that. You have truly changed Nightmare and that is the first step in getting anything good out of your life. So if you are willing, we’d like to ‘bury the hatchet’ as Slayer would say. We will not forgive those actions you committed so long ago, but we will forget them. And let them be nothing but history.”

“R-really?” I asked with tears in my eyes. ‘Why is this getting to me so much!?’

“Yes. We just want to forget all that and let it be nothing but words on paper. So what do you say? Let bygones be bygones?” Luna said holding one arm out as if to signal for a hug. I stared at her blankly for a moment before slowly beginning to nod. Before I knew it, I was hugging Luna and she was hugging me back as I let tears of joy and relief fall from my eyes. This lasted for a good ten minutes before I let her go and wiped my eyes clear of any more tears.

“Sooo... What now?” I asked as Luna gave me a tissue which I promptly blew my nose into. She tapped her chin and smiled.

“Well, first step would to convince Slayer we are still not on good terms.” Luna said. I raised an eyebrow at this before she continued. “Just so that he can do his little plan and make himself think that is okay. And maybe use one of his little get togethers to possibly do your little ‘Confession’.”

I blushed a bit and chuckled. “You worked this out when?” I asked.

“When he was explaining it while I was ‘napping’ in his lap.” Luna said snickering before we heard the door open. She quickly mouthed ‘Go with it’ as I nodded and she began. “So you think it’s funny to mess with our remotes do you!?”

I honestly flinched a bit before I saw her wink at me. “W-well, I didn’t mean too! It just kinda happened!”

“Yeah wel-” Luna began before I saw Slayer sit next to Luna and pat her on the back.

“Easy Luna. Easy.” He said as he gently rubbed her back causing her to pur slightly. “What’s all the fuss about?”

“Well you see-” Luna began before she let out a yawn and actually began to doze off. “She... Oh stop doing that you are making me sleepy!”

Before I knew what happened, Luna actually passed out while leaning back against Slayer’s chest. I blinked before I heard him snicker and sigh. He picked Luna up like she was a large cat and said his good nights before he left. No more than five minutes after he left, Chrysalis walked in with a cup of coffee, that was barely keeping her awake.

“What happened while I was away?” She asked sipping on her coffee.

“Nothing.” I said simply. “Just getting ready for bed.”

“In the Game Room?” She asked raising an eyebrow. I shrugged and laid on the couch.

“It’s a comfy couch.” I said closing my eyes.

“Well... Okay I guess. I am going to finish my drink and go back to my room. See ya tomorrow Moony.” Chrysalis said leaving the Game Room. I chuckled before sighing and letting out a small yawn and letting the weight of the day finally just slip away as I fell into my slumber.
