So, today was the day of Nightmare Night, or Halloween, and Engineer had said that he has found a way for all of us to have costumes without having to make anything. Wearing my fire-retardant suit and gas-mask, I leave my room and enable the lock, and head towards the Meeting Room (or the former Intel Room since we have all private information in our rooms). I'm in the corridor leading straight to the Meeting Room when I notice Sniper a little bit ahead of me.

"Mmhmmm mm hmhm!" I mumbled loudly, as I waved, '¡Hola mi amigo!' Sniper stopped and turned.

"Oh, hello Pyro!" Sniper said, as he waved back. "You wouldn't happen to know what Engie has planned for our costumes?" he asked, as he walked to my side, keeping with my pace.

"Hm hm hm." I mumbled, as I shrugged, 'No lo sé.'

"Ah," Sniper said in disappointment, "oh well, we will find out soon."

"Hmmhm," I mumbled in agreement, 'Cierto.'

Sniper and I walked down the corridor until we eventually got to the Meeting Room, where another five of the mercenaries were. The only ones that weren't there yet, were Spy and Engineer.

"Hey guys," Scout said as Sniper and I enter, "glad your here now. Say..." Scout starts as he seemed to attempt to look behind me, "you knuckle-heads haven't seen hard-hat or 'Mister Disappearing-Act' have ya?"

"Hm," I mumbled as I shook my head, 'No.'

"Na," Sniper said, "was hoping they'd be here with you."

"Well," said a voice, coming from the doorway that Sniper and I had come through already, "we're here now, better late than never, right?"

"Indeed," Spy said, following Engineer through the doorway.

"So," Scout started, "you said you have a plan for our costumes for Nightmare Night without us having to make them?"

"Of course," Spy stated, "though, the credit for the idea all goes to Engineer. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have even thought of this, let alone believe it would work."

"Well?" Scout asked, impatiently. "Tell us your idea!"

"Well," Spy started, "Engineer looked at my disguise kit and asked my permission to make replicas of it with blank information, then add four different disguises to them while also making certain settings adjustable by the user-"

"Wait," interrupted Medic, a bewildered look on his face, "are you saying you made another set of disguise kits for Nightmare Night costumes?"

"Not just that," Engineer stated, "they can also be used for recon, the only things these disguises won't fool are animals or alicorn-level or higher beings."

"That reminds me," Spy said suddenly, and walked out of the room without another word.

"Anyways," Engineer continued, "you can also have more disguises added on by asking me or Spy, if you want to that is."

"So..." Scout said, a thoughtful look on his face, "after tonight we can use these things whenever we want?"

"Pretty much, yeah," Engineer answered, a confused look on his face.

"Cool," Scout said, a smirk on his face, "now I can go and visit other places and maybe get some souvenirs from other places."

"Well," Engineer said, a slight frown on his face, "we could, but we would need paperwork for our chosen disguise, just in case if we come across anything that requires it, meaning we'll have to ask Princess Celestia to help us setup some paperwork for our pony disguises." He then shakes his head, then looks back at us, "But that is somethin' to do later on first we will setup our disguises for our pony form and costume."

We have gotten our kits and our disguises/costumes activated and Spy has returned, but has yet to tell us exactly where and what he did. All he said was: 'I have made sure our first Nightmare Night would go smoothly.'

Anyways, Scout has picked a young-adult stallion pegasus with a light-grey fur-coat and a really dark-grey mane & tail, and a Shadowbolts uniform for his Nightmare Night disguise. Heavy has picked a middle-aged stallion earth pony with a brown fur-coat and a blonde tail, a black ski mask, and a dark-pink scarf. Demoman chose a small adult earth pony with a purple fur-coat and a dark-purple tail, a pony knight's helmet, and a spiked-ball on the end of the tail. Spy chose a young unicorn colt with a black fur-coat and red tail, and golden colt-sized royal guard costume. Soldier chose a middle-aged stallion unicorn with a red fur-coat and purple mane & tail, a shirt that said: Faust Bless Equestria, a flag-holder, and an Equestrian Flag. Engineer chose a young-adult stallion earth pony with a light-brown fur-coat and a blonde mane & tail, a black stetson, four black boots, and a black vest. Medic has picked an adult stallion pegasus, decked out in surgeon clothing, and equipped with a fake, bloodied, and light cleaver. Sniper has picked a young unicorn colt with brown fur-coat and black mane & tail, and clothing similar to that of Robin Hood. Finally, I have chosen, to be an adult pegasus with a lime-green fur-coat, and a black chicken costume.

"Well," Spy said, with the voice of a Royal Guard, except really young sounding, "everything seems to be in working order."

"Sí," I said, nodding my head, then clasped my hand over my mouth, eyes widened, "¿Me pueden escuchar?"

All of the others just looked at me, stock-still, wide-eyed, and jaw-dropped.

Then Spy recovered and said, still wide-eyed, "Er... yes, we can hear you... though of all things I was expecting you to say when we we could here you speak, Spanish was not the first thing I would've guessed."

"Then again," Engineer started, gloved hand on his chin, "it makes sense considering the cosmetic the Pyro wears in the game... what was it called again?"

"I think it was the flame- er..." Scout said, gathering his thoughts, "flameboy- no... ah HA! The Flamboyant Flamenco! Which is similar to the sombrero... I think..."

"Anyways," Spy said, abruptly, as he looked to me, "can you speak normal English?"

"Sí- er... yes," I said with a noticeable accent, "but, being in that suit for so long, I might end up slipping back into español, comprenden?"

"Of course," Spy started, moving towards me, and picking up my disguise kit, "we can adjust your voice for your disguises in your kit from being your original to being a fitting voice."

We all now had fitting voices for our disguises, and had costumes to go with them. Checking the on the clock on the wall above the doorway that leads into the meeting room, it is almost 12:45 p.m., so we still had quite a bit of time before Nightmare Night begins.

"Well," Spy said suddenly, out of disguise, "I'm off to see Twilight, give her a way to find us during the event."

"That's not a bad idea," Engineer said, nodding in agreement, "but... what are we gonna do that won't bring immediate attention to us?"

"I'm... not sure," Spy said, head lowered. Bringing his head back up suddenly, he said, "But I will think of something on the way, see you all in an hour." Spy walks out of the base, out-of-sight.

While we were waiting for Spy to come back, we decided to play some Texas Hold'em Poker. I was considered the most dangerous in the game considering I always wear my mask where-ever I go, so they can't see my expressions. Right now, I was bluffing my ass off, as I have a 3 of Spades and a 6 of Hearts in hand, while on the table there was an Ace of Spades, a 5 of Clubs, a King of Hearts, and a Jack of Diamonds. So far: Heavy and Scout busted after three rounds, Medic has 500 bits worth of chips left, Demoman was just watching the game while drinking as per usual, Soldier was drinking with Demoman, Sniper still has over 5,000 bits worth of chips, Engineer is the Dealer, and I have around 40,000 bits worth of chips. In the Pot was 4,550 bits, this was after I had bet, Medic had folded, and Sniper had called. Engineer burns the top card (not literally) and flips the next card over to reveal a 7 of Diamonds. At this point, I was grinding my teeth and sweating bullets, but the others couldn't tell, and it was my turn; I bet 6,000 and looked to Sniper to see what he would do, mainly hoping that he would fold. He looked at his cards and smiled, looked back and went all-in; apparently, he had 5,700 left so I brought back 300 to see what was inevitably my defeat. We revealed both of our cards and looked in shock, for we both had the same cards; While I had the 6 of Hearts and 3 of Spades, Sniper had the 6 of Spades and the 3 of Hearts! The Pot had to be split, so we each took 7,975 from the Pot which before the Final Flop, was 15,950 bits worth of chips.

"Well played," Spy said, suddenly beside me, scaring me and making me fall out of my chair.

"Hmhmmhm hmhm!" I exclaimed, flipping him the bird, '¡Mierda santa!'.

"I'm sorry," Spy said, genuinely, "I couldn't help myself, after all, who wouldn't do what I just did?" The others and I, begrudgingly, murmur in agreement. "Anyway," he continued, "I came up with a passphrase that only us, Twilight, and Spike know about. If you want to talk to her or Spike as a friend, you must say, 'On the most horrific of days, on the darkest of nights,' if she doesn't respond with something along the lines of, 'the team of RED shall arise,' then she just forgot and I can have Spike remind her."

"OK," Scout said, "so a passphrase, huh? Definitely seems right up Twilight's alley."

"Alrighty," Engineer said, "so, ya'll ready for your first ever Nightmare Night?"

We all cheered our answer, then spent the next few hours playing video games, on consoles that Engineer had built.

It's time... for Nightmare Night! Our group had the disguises activated with the costumes on and bags at the ready.

Passing by Sugarcube Corner, (You know the gingerbread house/bakery?) I had the strangest feeling something quite random was gonna happen. Suddenly, the group and I jump when Pinkie Pie appears suddenly in front of us, almost glaring at us, as she suddenly gasped, eyes wide with realization.

"Oh my goodness!" Pinkie exclaimed, then looked around, then looked back to us. "Follow me, I know someplace where we can talk in private," she said, heading into Sugarcube Corner. With nothing better to do, we followed, only to fall into a pit a moment later.

We all woke up, each expressing our own discomforts vocally, and discover where exactly we are: Pinkie's Party Planning Cave.

Hearing the sound of a voice being cleared, we turned around to see chicken-costume Pinkie with a smile so wide, the Joker would attempt a Jeff the Killer just to match it.

“Heyya guys!” Pinkie said, waving her hoof, “Ihaven’tseenyouninesinceDiscordwas-”

“Woah there Pinks,” Engineer said, interrupting Pinkie, “slow down, think about what you’re saying and then speak.”

“Sorry,” Pinkie said, “I'm just so excited, I mean, I haven't seen you guys since we defeated Discord and-"

"Wait," Spy interrupted, "you can... see through our disguises?"

"Well, yeah!" answered Pinkie, "I mean, the others can't, but I'm not so easily fooled by a simple mask."

"Interesting..." Spy said, his disguise deactivated and his voice back to normal, "It seems that you, Pinkie Pie, because of your randomness, are just as, if not MORE powerful, than an alicorn."

Pinkie Pie froze suddenly and looked at Spy weirdly. "How do you know that?" Pinkie asked.

"Plenty of tests and volunteers," Medic said matter-of-factly, "including the Princesses and Twilight herself."

"Anyway," Heavy said, "you brought us here for good reason, no?"

"Oh, right!" Pinkie exclaimed. "I wanted to have a 'Welcome to Equestria' and 'Thank You for Helping Us Stop Discord' Party... but since you seem to want to be hidden we can have a private party with my friends at your place!"

"A... fiesta?" I ask.

"¡Sí mi amigo!" she answered, then gasped loudly. "¡Dios mío! ¡No sabía que hablabas en este idioma!" 'Oh my gosh! I didn't know that you spoke in this language!'

"Well," I start, "seeing as the only thing that can give you a clue to what my raza is, is a hat that I have yet to wear, I not sorprendido that you didn't know that."

"You only have a hat being the only thing to show what race of your species you are?" Pinkie Pie asked in shock and surprise. "¡Esto no está bien! We are going to see Rarity... after Nightmare Night."

With nothing much else planned and not really minding the idea I shrugged, "OK," I said.

"OK," Engineer said, "Now with that out of the way, we'll let you know when it is a good time to have the party because we'll most likely have to get things tidied up before then... and also make sure we don't have anymore unexpected visitors around that time."

"Okie-dokie-lokie!" Pinkie said, in her usual sing-song voice, as she bounced out of the building, the rest of us following in tow, Spy changed back into his disguise/costume; then Scout realized something the rest of us didn't notice until he pointed it out.

"Hey," Scout said in confusion, "how did we get out of Pinkie's Party Cave?"

We all stood stock-still with varying degrees of thought, noticeable on our faces, when Demoman said the most obvious thing: "It's just Pinkie, don't think about it."

We all looked at each other shrugged and moved on to have our first Nightmare Night, get a boat-load of candy, and talk with Twilight every now and then.

So everything went pretty well for the first ten or so minutes and then Nigh- er Princess Luna showed up, causing the entire town to panic. Learned from Spy that he had Twilight send a message to Celestia to have her inform her sister of our existence and location. We went and comforted her and gave her advice on how to mingle with the other ponies in the festivities and gave her a few tips for giving some ponies a surprise. that was another fifteen minutes worth of time and about fifty or so minutes of collecting more candy and playing some Nightmare Night games. Before we left we checked on Princess Luna and she seemed to be getting along well with the other ponies, both young and old.

Right now we are back at base each of us carrying two or three bags worth of candy each. Each bag has at least four hundred fifty pieces to about five hundred pieces of candy (Spy counted). That much candy, in total was about... 403 pounds of candy that we got, I'm pretty sure we all got some looks when we were carrying all of that, but I'm not sure.

We got back home, all of us turned off our disguises, barely even grunted to each other before entering our rooms, and just crashed on our beds, immediately falling asleep.

Author's Notes:

Oh my god...

With how long I've been writing this SINGULAR chapter, I thought I was actually gonna have it out on Halloween... but surprisingly not, which I'm both grateful for and kind of disappointed in to say the least.

If my spanish is bad please recommend someone to me because I don't know that much about the language, and I just used google translate several times just make sure the were, at least, somewhat correct.
