It's been a little over two months since his birthday party, he was so glad Rarity finished his autumn clothes for it or else he would have many cold nights. Though it's really not that cold so he decided and even now felt a little more comfortable with no clothes on. As for Pinkies gift, he had not read it yet but it was tucked away under his bed to where not a one of them could find it.

Which reminded him of when he did finally move in and Pinkie threw him a 'Congratulations On Moving Into A New House Even If You Did Keep It From Me' house party. He was grateful that this time there was no alcohol, apparently, she never brings any when she throws this kind of party. But it took about three weeks even to buy a bed, again Rarity made him some bedding stuff. Most of his furniture was given to him over the last two months whenever one of his neighbors bought new ones.

He didn't mind after all even if it was old and used, it was still very nice of them to think of him and gave him some free stuff saving him a lot of bits. Though he constantly had to defend himself from Rarity about every piece, he liked his little love seat couch, an arm chair which was a weird thing to call a chair when they're ponies, a small coffee table, and an old dining room set so far. Though it wasn't much but it was at least a start to make it feel a little more like home.

But right now that didn't matter since he was having a great time for his first Nightmare Night. Though he was reminded of a holiday that humans have that was more or less the same thing. He was playing a few games along with Lyra, she was pretty impressed that his hands were so useful even if she saw him work sometimes.

"So hows your first Nightmare Night going?" Twilight asked coming up wearing what he was told was a Starswirl the Bearded costume, which was a very important unicorn because he was one of the most powerful unicorns in history.

"Oh it's been great, I've already won a few prizes." He answered.

"A few? You had to rent out a wagon in order to carry all of this stuff around remember? Here take a look Twilight." Lyra said then pushing him out of the way to reveal a small wagon full of some small and some large prizes.

"Wow, you really won all of these for yourself?" Twilight asked in a little bit of awe.

"Well I didn't just win them for me, I got some for Lyra and the rest of you. Especially Fluttershy since she doesn't like this holiday." He replied a little embarrassed.

"But how did you win all of these though?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, you should have seen it! I knew his hands were good and everything, but you should have seen it! Only a unicorn or a pony whose special talent could pull off the stuff he did! I mean when we were at the balloon pop game he nailed every one of them! That's how he got the Manticore one." Lyra then levitated said toy, which was one of the larger ones up out of the wagon and brought it to Twilight.

"Well, I expected as much, after all, Lyra he did grow up using them in order to help him out. Just as an Earth pony has to learn how to use their hooves to help them out." Twilight replied but she had a slightly impressed smile.

"Yeah, I was planning on giving Fluttershy that one." He said grabbing the toy out of Lyra's magical grasp.

"Well, I'm sure she'll love it. Oh, how's Daisy doing?" Twilight asked.

"She's doing just fine, I had her go spend some time over at Fluttershy's to keep her company." He answered.

"There you are, come on time its candy!" Pinkie suddenly popped up making both Lyra and Twilight jump a little, but he had grown used to this.

That being said it was because of that prank war that they had after his birthday, which he had to make sure she knew not to do it while he was at work. But she always popped in and out of nowhere during that one week, he put up a good fight but he surrendered. Though because of that, he was now used to her antics.

"Oh and nice costume by the way, but what are you suppose to be?" Pinkie asked tilting her head to the side.

"Well, I'm supposed to be a superhero from my world. Though Rarity decided to add and change the costume now, so I decided to give this a new name. You are looking at Gem Man!" He said striking a pose, and he knew that it would get them laughing.

He had wanted to go as one he could remember, one who always wore blue, yellow, and red. This superhero always had a giant S on the front of his outfit, and when he did his best to describe it to Rarity she agreed. But after finishing it he realized that she had changed the color scheme to green, brown, and white and had put some gemstones on it.

"I-is that really based on a superhero from your world?" Lyra asked trying to hold back her laughter.

"Yeah, but as I said Rarity decided to change it. But hey, at least I got a costume to wear this year. And sorry Pinkie, I rather not rot my teeth with loads of candy. Mostly because I've already won a little from the games." He said.

"Fine, have fun!" Then after a cluck, she ran off.

"You seem to have gotten used to Pinkie, most of us still aren't used to her popping up out of nowhere," Twilight said.

"Yeah well, you try having a prank war with her and not find yourself not used to her popping out like that. Especially when she's loaded with a pie or something." He mumbled the last part.

"Well, what are you two going to do now?" Twilight asked.

"We were gonna go to Shadow's haunted house, you want to join us?" Lyra asked a little excited.

"Um, haunted houses aren't really my thing," Twilight answered with a nervous chuckle.

"What's wrong? Are you scared of a little haunted house?" He asked teasingly knowing a little story that she told him when she was a filly, and she thought the Boogiemare would get her.

"N-no of course not! I just don't want' to go, I have to make sure Spike doesn't eat to much candy or else he'll get a stomach ache." Twilight answered defenselessly.

"Sure, use that as your excuse. Even though Spike isn't with you at the moment." He gave her a slight smirk.

"What? Then I better go find him then." Twilight then scurried off making him laugh a little.

"What was that about?" Lyra asked a bit confused.

"Oh, nothing too much. She just had a run in with the Boogiemare when she was younger, and ever since she's been a bit too scared to go into a haunted house. Unless it's an absolute emergency of course." He said wiping a tear away.

"Really? Wow, well let's go! Or else we'll have to wait for like ever until we get in!" She said running off.

"Alright, I'm a coming." He called back as he got a hold of his wagon and started to pull it.
