Mmmmm. Comfy bed. Why is it so fluffy? What's this red thi-
What's the matter darlin'?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I awoke with cold sweat all over my body in the same bed Twilight had made me two months ago. I apparently scared Spike as well as he had literally flung up and hooked onto the walls. I looked around quickly to make sure that it really was a dream.

Damnit Rarity!

During these two months Rarity had been doing her best to get me with Big Mac. I was really getting fed-up with that. Why was she insisting so hard?! Ugh.

"You okay Silver?" asked Spike. He had landed back down on his little bed, clutching his chest.

"Y-yeah...just one of those...typical yet disturbing nightmares."

"Well, I hope you're ready for later."

I scratched my head.

"What happens again?" Spike seemed to start blowing up in frustration.

"It's Nightmare Night! We'll get to start gathering candy an all that!"

"Oh yeah. You aren't going to dress up in a dragon costume are you?"

Spike seemed to blush. He did do this, apparently. Who could've thought that a world of ponies also had Halloween. I learned about this from Twilight Sparkle after much of explaining was done from the Giga Sparkle incident. She even took me to her "Secret Lab" (quotation fingers...hooves....damn...) underneath the lab. Where did she even get that stuff? She decided to analyze my cutie mark (I hate that name. Too frufru even for someone in my predicament.) to see if the Giga Sparkle was still there. Besides a small residue, it was dead. I really felt like I lost something dear to me, like my soul was hacked at with a pickaxe. The true Silver was now dead, but she did give me a second chance, and I would seize it. Thanks to that event, I had become a good friend of princess Luna. I still didn't like princess Celestia and tried to avoid her whenever possible. She didn't give out that same feeling of apology and understanding that Luna did, and It disturbed me whenever I was around her.

"Silver! What happened?! Why did you scream?" yelled a panicking Twilight.

"Nothing. Just a nightmare induced by Rarity.""

"Ha!"

"What?"

"You got a nightmare on Nightmare Night. I'm guessing that might be a sign of good luck!"

"Or bad." I rolled my eyes. Twilight just puffed at me.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Come on, let's get ready for tonight."

"This early in the morning?"

"Don't question her organization ways, Silver. She'll literally make a list about making lists."

Yo dawg... I thought.

"Fine.Hold on. *Crack, crack crack, cRRRRRRRRRack!* And that's a sign of a good night's sleep."

"You still creep me out when you do that." Spike was sticking his tongue in disgust. I decided to mess with him.

"Do you mind if I...stretch a bit more?"

"NO WAI- *CRACK* AGH! That's so gross!"

I stood on my hind legs and threw my fore in the air and did my DIABOLICAL laughter!
Twilight had prepared breakfast...but she wasn't very good at it. I think charred wood had a better flavor than this. Spike and I forced the food down our gullets until Twilight was out of sight, then we dumped everything out the window above the sink. She came back and we both gave nervous smiles. After confirming our "love" for her "delicious" food...we had to go to Rarity's for costume designs. She had made them awhile back and we were going to get them today. I was going to be dressed as a pony made from blue crystals with emerald green eyes. I didn't know what Spike was going to dress up as, nor what Twilight was going to be. It's mainly the going to Rarity's that pissed me off the most. My "heart" may be opening thanks to both Aloe and Lotus, but I'm still as easily annoyed as before.

As the doors of hell opened up, that same chill down my spine reappeared as I could feel Rarity's evil eyeing me from afar. Her shop was still as beautiful as I remembered, but it still had her obsessions written all over it. She was adding the finishing touches to her costumes. Mine was there. It had the exact look that I wanted it to. There was one that seemed to be a costume of Celestia, and another looked...weird. Was it some type of dragon or wolf? Either way, I had my costume, and Twilight thanked Rarity, who, of course had to get them to leave and speak to me in private.

"Now, about your costume...I still don't know why you didn't want one that would attract Big Mac's attention."

I lost it. My pupils shrunk and I started gritting my teeth. I lift my forelegs at Rarity. I hated doing this, but she wouldn't leave me alone, and I had been having to deal with this crap for about two months straight now.

"Okay...I've had it."

"What-"

"You see these hooves Rarity? I will put them around your neck, and then I will lift you in the air and throw you in an Ursa Major cave. I could also wring your neck, but that wouldn't give me any satisfaction."

She put a hoof to her neck and gulped. I had a tendency to look quite scary when I became mad.

"You know...you could have just asked me to stop-"

"I'VE BEEN ASKING YOU FOR TWO MONTHS! LET IT GO! You shouldn't be the one who decides about my "love" life. Now, if you don't mind, I will be taking my costume and leaving."

I tossed the dress over my back and stomped out of the shop. Rarity stayed in place, rubbing her neck. I didn't want to do that, but two months of constant harassing tends to drive a man insane...well...once a man. I may have been used to this female body, having gotten used to the...different functions, but I was still myself. I have been feeling rather strange since the real Silver was killed, but that wouldn't change my adaptations to this new body. The way I acted sometimes really made some ponies call me a very feminine mare...rrright! I was sure I was going to regret what I did to that fashion mare, but she had to learn one way or another.

Well, next stop was Pinkie Pie's bakery. I already forgot its name. Two months and I already forgot. (*Facehoof*) Travelling through town really showed how much these ponies liked Nightmare night. There was even some tiny guy who was white and brown that I could've confused for a puppy that seemed all giddy about princess Luna coming back. If I learned correctly from Twilight, she was going to come as Nightmare Moon when nopony would expect it. Perfect for me, as I was planning on giving a fright prank to all of them at one point. We opened the door to the bakery and greeted the cakes as they were preparing a few extra batches of Hallowe-Nightmare Night themed goodies. The babies were being disguised by Mrs. Cake.

Wow. They really dress up early don't they?

We went upstairs to find Pinkie Pie dressed up as a present. She was putting tons of confetti and weird stringy things.

"Pinkie Pie, what are you doing?" I asked her.

"What am I doing? I'm readying my present explosion!"

"What for?"

"Pfff. When I've got tons of candy, and it's the end of Nightmare Night, I'm going to make it all explode out as a surprise! A Pinkie ending to this great holiday!"

"I'd love to see that!"

"And what are your costumes?"

"Wait that we dress up and you'll see. I'm sorry if we're kicking you out of your room for a few seconds but-"

"Not at all! Hurry up then! I want to see your costumes!"

Pinkie Pie literally bolted out of the room and slammed the door behind her.

"Well then, let's get started. How about that enchantment?" said Twilight.

"You really are going to do that?" asked Spike. Twilight rolled her eyes in a way I didn't think was possible.

"Of course I am , silly! Let's start with Silver then."

I gulped, but put the costume on. It was slightly leathery in feeling but felt extremely tight for something that was supposed to be crystal-like. I shut my eyes and readied myself for her spell. Twilight's horn glowed brightly, and I felt the costume "grow" on my skin. I reopened them to see that Twilight was staring at me proudly.

"Look." she said as she pointed towards a conveniently placed, tall mirror that wasn't there last I remember. I blinked. I really looked like a crystal pony. My mane was more crystalline and faced the rear while spiking slightly upwards. The tail just looked like a scaled crystal, while the rest of my body had become a crystalline shape and thorned randomly here and there. I jumped at Twilight to hug her while yelling "Thank you!" several times. I quickly let go as I realized that I was really poking her and it hurt.

"Oh! I'm sorry Twilight. But look at what you did! I really look like I'm made from crystal."

"Glad to know that you like it. Now it's your turn Spike."

"Awesome!"

I kept admiring my new look until I saw some strange ruby hand grab my hoof. I looked up to see that Spike turned himself into a fire ruby dragon.

"Coooool!" I said...like a stoner.

"I know, right? I bet Rarity is going to love m-I mean love my costume."

I gave a disinterested face as I tapped him on the shoulder. Another flash and I saw a miniature version of a Celestia mixed with Twilight.

"So? Do I look like the princess?"

"Yeah, you do." I said. Why couldn't she try that with Luna? *grumble*

"Wait...do those wings work?" asked Spike eagerly.

"Somewhat. I can move them, but I can't fly with them. But the rest looks okay?"

"It sure does. You look EXACTLY like her." I moaned. Twilight looked at me frustratingly, but left the subject of the possible argument to die in its hole.

"Now, don't forget that this spell only lasts until the end of the night."

"Okay." replied Spike and I.

We opened the door and saw Pinkie Pie bouncing up with eagerness. She gasped nearly all the oxygen of the atmosphere as she saw our new costumes. She was "awesomed out" as me and Spike showed off. Spike was eager to show his costume to Rarity, but I stopped him. It had to be a surprise shown to her only at night. He complained, but understood. Preparations were almost complete for tonight. We just had to see Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash. I wonder what costumes they would wear, and what exactly this "Nightmare Night" had in similarities to Halloween besides the costume and the trick-or-treating.
