Previous Chapter Next Chapter

"OH GOD WHY ME!?" Midnight shouted as he raced away from the crowd of mares that were chasing him screaming in glee.

After a long foot chase he managed to duck around the corner of Sugar Cube Corner, turning invisible along with his guitar he stood silently, holding his breath as a few mares stopped and looked around for him. After a few moments they ran out of the ally screaming as they continued to chase the ghost of his presence.

I'm getting ahead of the story though. Let's rewind to earlier in the day.

"Rar, I'm going to the park." Midnight said as he placed his new acoustic guitar on his back between his wings.

"Alright darling. Sweetie should be there with her friends. Would you mind taking them this basket?" Rarity smiled as she trotted out of the kitchen to him as he was about to leave the boutique.

"Aren't you coming?" He asked cocking a brow.

"I would love to darling but I simply must finish this order for a very good customer of mine. Do say hello to my sister for me." Rarity smiled giving him a quick peck before trotting back into her work room.

Midnight looked into the basket seeing a lot of sandwiches and other goodies along with a large blanket. "Heh, guess Rarity planned a small picnic for them but got to caught up in work. Ah well more for them." He chuckled as he placed the basket next to his guitar along his back.

Making his way outside he began a slow trot toward the park, giving a smile to a few other ponies as he passed by, they doing the same. He gave a contented sigh as he thought to himself.

'This world, although strange and never dull, has made me happier than any place I have ever been. All these smiling faces, everypony full of cheer and happiness. Family outings that don't end in someone hitting one another or doing something stupid they would regret. Yep, this is defiantly a place I have come to love.'

His walk came to an end as he neared the park playground where he and his nieces had played when he had been shrank to the size of a colt. After a moment of looking around the playground he heard and all to familiar squeal as it echoed from the tube slide. He watched as Sweetiebelle rushed out of the end followed by Scootaloo then Applebloom.

"Girls." He shouted to get their attention. They gave a wide smile each bounding over to him. He set the basket and guitar down to the side quickly, knowing what was about to happen as he was tackled to the ground by the three giggling fillies. He let out a loud laugh hugging the three.

"Good to see you girls to." he smiled as he pulled himself upright and began to set up the small picnic.

"Is Rarity not with you today Uncle Midnight?" Sweetiebelle asked looking around for her big sister.

"I'm afraid not dear, she had some work to finish up for a client. She did say to give you this though." He laughed as he swept her up and started to kiss her face all over.

"Eeeeeeewwwwwwww stopit Uncle." She squealed trying to get away.

The other two fillies giggled seeing their friends plight causing Midnights attention to fall on them.

"Sound like my other two nieces are feeling left out." He chuckled causing them to gasp as they tried to run away screaming but were swept up as he began to kiss their faces as well.

After a minute of kissy attack Midnight, he sat them down as they tried to wipe away the kisses with their front legs.

"Blech! Uncle Midnight that was mean." Scootaloo groaned flapping her wings angrily.

"Yea, ah'm sure mah sister wouldn't mind though." Applebloom giggled.

"Yeah and Rarity eats it up as well." Sweetiebelle smirked rolling her eyes.

"I'm sorry girls but those cute little faces need a good kissing every now and then." Midnight chuckled making them roll their eyes yet again.

"So what did Rarity pack for our lunch?" Sweetiebelle asked looking into the basket as Midnight removed the blanket, setting it up on the ground.

"I'm not sure, She just told me to bring it to you three. But I'm sure if we need anything else I could whip something up." He smiled as he began to pull out several containers of food, plates, and utensils.

As everything was set up the four of them looked at the items Rarity had prepared.

Potato salad, Daffodil and daisy sandwiches. Watercress and cucumber sandwiches. and a large container of tea.

"Uh.......... What's edible besides the daffodil and daisy sandwiches?" Scootaloo ask poking at the potato salad.

"Alrighty then. guess Uncle is going to have to pull out a few tricks." Midnight announced as his horn lit up opening a small portal to which he stuck his head into for a moment the pulled it back out placing a large chocolate cake onto a plate. He placed his head back into the portal then removed it floating a large pizza and BLT's (minus the bacon of course) onto a couple plates. Once again he placed his head into the portal pulling it back out floating a big bowl of spaghetti and pitcher of lemonade onto he cover.

"Now THIS is a picnic lunch." He smiled as the three fillies cheered, all digging into the food. Midnight waiting until they had made a plate before making his own. They sat there eating quietly. At one point giggling as they ate the spaghetti by slurping a single noodle into their mouths making it slap against their little faces as it neared the end of its journey. Midnight did the same with several noodles but stopped the noodle making them wiggle with his magic as he pretended the noodles were attacking him. The girls laughed watching him squirm away from the noodles as they attacked his face. At one point he fell over laying there with the noodles on his face motionless. The girls coming over to inspect him but ran screaming as he shot upright, his face covered in the noodles and sauce, his wings flaring out as he screamed to them.

"SPAGHETTI MONSTER ATTACK! RAAAAAAR!" he laughed chasing the screaming fillies around before the ganged p on him. He fell over pretending to die as the stood on his side triumphantly.

"Cutie Mark Crusaders Spaghetti Monster Killers YAY!" they shouted earning a cheer from a few other watching families.

They jumped from Midnight whom returned upright, cleaning off his face with a bit of magic and trotting back to the picnic.

"Hey uncle, what'cha doin with that there guitar?" Applebloom questioned pointing to it with her hoof.

"Ah, You three didn't know this, but your uncle can play a few musical instruments." He smiled laying down onto the blanket as he put up most of the food so they would all have room to sit and watch.

He began to play a few notes as the fillies watched intently.

He began to pluck the strings as the song began.

After the song ended the three fillies cheered stomping the ground with there forehooves along with a few others that had heard the music from nearby. He looked around to see a small crowd gathering, he gave a smile to his three nieces.

"I guess, Uncle is going to have to play a few more songs for all these nice ponies." He chuckled causing the few ponies that had gathered to cheer.

He gave a sincere smile to the crowd as he began to sing along with the strumming of yet another song.

After the song ended the he looked up to the now large crowd of ponies who had assembled to see him playing. They all cheered as the song came to an end. The three little fillies moving closer to him to get away from the crowd swelling behind them.

"Girls, I think this crowd may be getting out of hoof. I'll play one more song so you three can get out of the park safely alright." He said as he leaned down to them. They gave a nod, gathering the picnic supplies and packing it up. They turned to leave, waving to their uncle as he began the final song. (Minus the bad language)

Upon the end of the last song the crowd roared into a deafening cheer. The ground literally trembled under the applause that was given underhoof. Midnight smiled waving to everypony that had gathered. That is until one over enthusiastic fan rushed him bowling him over screaming in glee as she wrapped her hooves around his neck kissing him.

"Oh crap." Was all he could say before the entire crowd rushed him. The majority being mares screaming like little fillies that had just been given the most awesome birthday gift they had ever gotten.

He managed to shake the mare off, albeit reluctantly, and bolted toward town, the entire mob thinning as he made his way into Ponyville. He looked up and around him seeing many pegasi mares following him as he galloped. Several taking nosedives into the ground trying to tackle him in the process only to eat dirt as they hit the ground from his dodging. He tried using his magic but kept loosing focus as mares began to jump after him.

"Ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit! AH HA!" He said to himself as he looked to Sugar Cube Corner.

After a long hoof chase he managed to duck around the corner of Sugar Cube Corner, turning invisible along with his guitar he stood silently, holding his breath as a few mares stopped and looked around for him. After a few moments they ran out of the ally screaming as they continued to chase the ghost of his presence.

He gave a sigh of relief as they left the ally.

"Hi Midnight!" Pinkie giggled from behind him causing him to whinny loudly in surprise a she appeared from the back door of the bakery. He turned around seeing the smiling Pinkie Pie, swiveling his ears back as he heard a mare outside the ally shout. "I heard something, lets go back and check."

His eyes went to pinpoints as he picked up the now giggling Pinkie Pie in his magic, rushing into the back door of the bakery. He shut the door quietly as he set Pinkie down. He looked her right in the eyes as he spoke.

"Whatever you do, don't tell them I'm here." He squeaked as he turned invisible.

Just as he turned invisible a mare burst through the back door of the bakery looking at Pinkie.

"Did you just see a black Alicorn run this way?" She said panting as two other mare poked their heads into the bakery then bolted out as Pinkie shook her head no.

"Darn it!, Alright girls, let's split up. we can cover................." The voices trailed off as they rush down the street.

Midnight gave a sigh of relief as he returned to his visible self. "Thank you Pinkie. I owe ya one." He gave an exhausted laugh as he fell to his haunches.

"Why were they chasing you?" Pinkie asked cocking her head as she looked at the guitar across his back.

"Well I was playing a song for my nieces when a crowd gathered to listen. After three songs the crowd rushed me. Even an Alicorn can't get away from a mob like that one." He laughed but stopped as he looked at Pinkie who was smiling widely at him.

"Uh...... What'sup?" He asked nervously.

"You said you owe me one a minute ago." She smiled

"Uh...... yea I did didn't I." He inwardly scolded himself.

Pinkie stood there for a moment waiting, before she started. "Well?"

"Well what?" He asked.

"Aren't you going to play me a song?" She asked still smiling.

"Oh! Right!" he said giving a sigh of relief. "But lets go somewhere quiet, I really don't need another mob of ponies chasing me." He chuckled as Pinkie led him from the kitchen to upstairs into her room.

She jumped onto her bed laying down onto her stomach as she watched Midnight while leaning off the foot of the the bed.

"Alright Pinkie. I hope you like this song. He began as he kept rhythm by tapping his hoof on the floor. After the song ended Pinkie stood up then pounced him to the floor hugging him around the neck.

"That was so super awesome. You soooooo have to get all the girls together and play for them. But in private of course. You don't want another chaotic crowd of cantering ponies after you again now do you?" She giggled causing Midnight to laugh.

"Sure Pinkie, anything for you." He laughed as they stood up and headed back downstairs.

Midnight peeked through the window still seeing many ponies out seemingly looking for him. He looked back to Pinkie for a moment. "Guess I'll have to teleport back to the boutique." He smirked nodding to the pink pony before vanishing in a flash of light, only to reappear in the boutique startling a certain ivory pony.

"Oh my goodness darling I told you to stop doing that. Honestly you're almost as bad as Twilight." She scolded before continuing.

"By the way, a few young mares stopped by telling me about a certain Alicorn playing to them in the park." She smirked causing him to tense up.

"Yea, I meant to play for the girls but after three songs half of Ponyville was there." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously causing Rarity to laugh.

"Well the three are waiting for you upstairs." Rarity smiled causing Midnight to frizzle in his fur.

"Ugh! Better go get this over with." He groaned heading upstairs. However upon reaching the top of the stairs he saw three little fillies poke their heads out of Sweetiebelles room smiling at him.

"Girls?" He asked in confusion then realized what Rarity had said. He chuckled shaking his head as he trotted into her room to play them a few songs away from the hustle and bustle of a thousand ponies trying to get a hold of him. Rarity listening from downstairs as she finished up her work for the day.
