Pinkamena left Twilight's home and stood outside. The purple unicorn walked out and stood next to her.

"We need to find you a playmate, Twi," said Pinkamena.

The purple unicorn gulped and nodded. "O-Okay..."

"Any ideas?" asked Twilight.

Pinks eyed her and smiled. "I've got somepony in mind."

Night Light trotted home from work late the next night, her lantern glowing brightly and keeping the shadows well at bay.

Pinkamena stepped out from an alley and trotted up to the mare. "Hi, there," she said cheerfully.

"Ah! Oh... Pinkie. Don't do that, please..." the mare gasped in fright as she turned a dial, brightening her lantern.

Pinks smiled at her. "I see you have your lantern again, Nighty."

"Y-Yeah. Out late..."

"Maybe you shouldn't be out so late if you're afraid of the dark. Plus all the weirdos are out at night."

The mare shivered a bit. "I-I need to get going..."

"Oh, sorry. Did I scare you. How 'bout I walk you home?"

Night light smiled. "Th-Thank you."

The pink mare smiled back. "You are most welcome."

The gray unicorn started trotting once more.

"So, why do you use a lantern and not magic?"

"It's less taxing."

"I see... It's a good idea, but... what if the light goes out?"

"G-Goes out?" The mare gulped at the thought.

"Yeah... Do you know a spell?"

"Y-Yes... But, I don't have much magic... I can't hold it long."

"Aww... That's too bad..." said the Pink mare.

"Wh-What? Why?!"

"Because..." said the pink mare sweetly before head butting the mare in the forehead, hard. "Lights out."

Night Light stumbled, trying to stay up right before she slumped to the floor, lantern following.

Pinkamena grinned and grabbed her hind legs. "Let's go play," she said with a giggle as she dragged her towards Sugarcube Corner.

Night Light slowly awoke, her head pounding. As her vision cleared, she found herself strapped down in a chair in a brightly lit room. "H-Hello?"

"Hey, she's awake," said Pinkamena as she and Twilight stepped into view.

"P-Pinkie?! Twilight?! What's going on?!"

Pinkamena patted Twilight on the back as she headed for the door. "She's all yours, Twi," she said before leaving.

Night Light started struggling in her restraints. "What's going on?!"

Twilight grinned. "Do you know what pony meat tastes like?"

"What?!"

"It's good. Really good. Especially fresh off the bone."

Night Light looked pale till she threw up all over herself.

"Hey!" yelled Twilight. "Don't vomit on my food!" She made a water bucket appear and splashed it on the restrained mare who gasped and shivered as she was now soaked with cold water.

"L-Let me go, please!"

Twilight made the bucket go away and went over to a light switch. "So... Pinks tells me you're afraid of the dark..."

"O-Oh Celestia, no. Please, no!" the mare whimpered, shaking her head left and right.

Twilight placed her hoof above the switch.

"Please!"

The unicorn grinned as she flicked the switch, the lights turning off.

Night Light's horn started glowing dimly as she breathed heavily, trying to keep the spell up.

A giggle was heard. "Having trouble?" asked Twilight.

"P--" Huff. "Please... I can't hold..."

"Not my problem, Nighty."

The light started flickereing slightly.

"Oh, it's about to go out. Here comes the darkness..."

Night Light's spell gave out as she started screaming.

"What's wrong? Afraid of the dark?" asked Twilight as she giggled darkly.

The mare only screamed and cried and even vomited once more.

Twilight's horn lit up. She was standing directly in front of her with an angry expression.

"I said... DON'T VOMIT ON MY FOOD!!!" she yelled as she slapped Night Light hard, who only sobbed more.

Snot ran down her face from all her sobbing.

Twilight made another water bucket appear and splashed Night again. "Now, stop vomiting."

Night only sobbed more as her nose started running again. Twilight used her magic and turned the lights back on. Night Light closed her eyes as she started calming down. The purple unicorn grinned and shut the lights off again.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Twilight laughed. "That's right. Cry for me!"

And Night did. Twilight lit her horn again and trotted up to Night.

"I see why you're called Night Light."

The mare's face was a wreck from all her crying. "P-P-Please, s-stop!" she sobbed.

Twilight smiled. "Nope." Her horn went out, leaving only total darkness.

Night light sobbed and sobbed. Twilight suddenly remembered Derpy. How she was Pinkamena's pet. She lit up her horn again and eyed Night.

"Hmm..." thought Twilight aloud, trying to decide whether to eat her or keep her as a pet.

Night light whimpered as she watched Twilight.

"You know you have some snot, uh... well... everywhere..."

The mare stopped crying for a moment in confusion. Twilight sat on the floor and turned her horn off, thinking, which made Night Light start sobbing once more.

Twilight grinned. "This feeling doesn't have to end now..." she thought aloud.

She used her magic to release Night and backed up to the other end of the room. She then broke the light switch.

There was a thud as Night fell forward. "T-Twilight?"

"Yeeeeees?" asked the unicorn.

The mare was silent before there was a thud of her tripping right next to Twilight. The purple unicorn lit up her horn, looking down at the fallen mare. She, herself, was sitting.

Night Light had somehow bloodied her own nose as she looked up at the light from Twilights horn.

The purple mare smiled. "I have decided to let you live, Nighty."

"R-Really?"

Twilight nodded. "On one condition."

Nightlight flinched "W-What would that be?"

"You become my pet. Meaning you do what I say, when I say it, and not leaving my side unless I say otherwise."

"D-Do I get out of the dark?" she asked, a gleam of hope shining in her eyes.

Twilight smiled. "If you're my pet, I'll take care of you. When you sleep, I'll make sure there's light for you." Her look got more serious. "But if you disobey, it's an hour in the Dark Room."

Night Light kept her head on the ground as she spoke. "Okay. J-Just, please, let me out..."

Twilight smiled. "Okay. First thing I'm gonna do when we get out of here is wash your face." She got up and went over to the door and opening it. "Come on. And try nothing. You try to leave, I'll hunt you down and eat you alive. Trust me. I've already done it to a colt."

Night Light whimpered as she stayed low to the ground, following the unicorn. Twilight stepped to the side, giving Night Light room to leave the darkness, which she did quickly.

"Now, come," said Twilight, heading off to the basement's bathroom with her new pet following.

Twi soon entered the bathroom and pointed to a stool. "Sit."

Night did so.

Twilight got a wet washcloth and turned to Night before gently washing her face. "You really don't like the dark, do you?" she asked with a chuckle.

The mare only whimpered in response.

Twi finally finished her face and sighed. "I have a better idea for the vomit." She stood up and went to the shower, turning it on. "Hot or cold?"

"W-Warm?" she asked hopefully.

Twilight smiled and twisted the faucet. "There." She then turned the shower head on. "All right. Come on."

Night slowly did as told. The water actually felt nice and warm.

"How does it feel?"

"Mmmmm... G-Good..."

Twilight took the washcloth and got it wet again. "Face me."

Night, once again, did as told. The purple unicorn hummed as she cleaned Night's chest, stomach, and hind legs. She soon finished with Night all clean and without the scent of vomit.

"Would you like to stay in there or come out?" asked Twilight.

"G-Get out..."

Twilight shut the water off and stepped aside. "Come on."

The wet mare stepped out, shivering. Twilight grabbed a towel and began drying her off.

"That's a good girl. All nice and clean... and not smelling of vomit."

The mare almost gave a smile at that.

Twilight smiled back. "How does it feel to be all nice and clean?"

"G-Good."

"Now, let's go meet the rest of the family, huh?"

"R-Rest?"

Twilight nodded and left the bathroom. "Come on, girl."

Night Light did so, keeping close.

Twilight headed upstairs. "Pinks! Scoots! Derpy! I have some pony I want you to meet!"

Night slowly crawled behind Twilight, not looking up from the ground.

Twilight looked around the main room. Suddenly Pinkamena came downstairs, yawning.

"What is it? I was sleeping with... my... pet and... daughter..." She got to the bottom of the stairs and slowly trotted towards Night Light. "The hell is this?"

Twilight eyed Night Light. "I wanna keep her as a pet. Can I, please?"

"You wanna keep her?" asked Pinks, a little shocked.

"Yeah. I see you and Derpy and... well... I want that, too. And if she misbehaves, I'll just put her in a dark room for an hour or two."

The pink mare thought about this. "Hmm..." She eyed Night Light. "If she jeopardizes me, Derpy, Scootaloo, Fluttershy, Ruby... or even Miss Changie... I will punish you both severely. Understood?"

Twilight nodded. "Y-Yes, Pinkie..."

Night Light only wimppered as she dared not look up.

"HEY!" yelled Pinkie. "Look at me and answer my question."

Night gave a yelp as she looked up. "Yes, Pinkie!"

"Good girl. Now, you're going to obey Twilight, right? Like a good pet?"

"Y-Yes."

"Good." The pink mare eyed Twilight. "I sure hope you know what you're doing."

"I trust her." said Twilight. "She's too scared to fight back."

Pinkamena smiled and turned, heading back up the stairs.

Night Light looked back down at the floor, whimpering.

Twilight turned to face Night and backed up a bit before sitting down and holding out her forelegs. "Come to me, girl."

She did as told, her head staying close to the floor.

"Now, sit in my lap."

Night looked unsure as she turned and began to sit.

Twilight wrapped her forelegs around her. "So, you have to do whatever... I... want..."

Night tilted her head to see Twilight's face.

Twilight grinned deviously. "Know what I want?"

"Wh-What?"

Twilight started to lean in.

"W-What are you g-gunna do?"

Twilight planted a kiss on Night's cheek, causing the mare to let out an "eep".

"Something wrong, pet?"

Night silently shook her head, not looking back at Twilight.

"Good." Twilight kissed her again.

Night stayed silent this time

"Now... Kiss me."

"W-What?" the mare asked, looking back.

"You heard me... pet. Kiss me."

"U-Ummm..." She darted in and pecked Twilight's cheek.

"No... On the lips," said the unicorn with a devious grin.

Night gulped and slowly leaned forward, face extremely red.

"Come on... Further."

She squeezed her eyes shut and leaned forward all the way. Twilight smiled as their lips connected, Night Light blushed harder. Twilight rubbed Night's chest. The scared mare only whimpered into Twilight's mouth. The purple unicorn pulled away and licked Night's lips with a giggle.

"How was that, girl?" asked Twilight.

"I-I don't know... It felt weird..."

"Weird, how? Don't you like how I kiss?"

"I-I..." she whimpered, looking at the floor.

"Come on. Answer me..." said Twilight, roughly pulling Night closer. "How are my kisses?"

"I d-don't know..."

"ANSWER ME OR IT'S AN HOUR IN THE DARK ROOM!!!"

"I-It feels wrong!" she yelled in fear.

"Wrong?" asked Twilight before shoving Night Light to the floor and standing up. "Explain. Why is it wrong?"

The mare cowered "I-I don't like mares..." she whispered, on the verge of tears.

"Well, you're just gonna have to get USED TO IT!!!"

Nightlight scooted away slightly at Twilight's raised voice.

"Would you like to see an example of how a pet should act?" Twilight scolded harshly. "I could show you Derpy. She's obedient. Why can't you be more like her?"

"I-I don't know..."

"Give me a straight answer or it's TWO FUCKING HOURS IN THE DARK ROOM!!!"

"i don't like mares that way!" the mare sobbed.

Twilight stood next to her and kicked her over, holding her down by the chest.

"Well, you'd better START!!! I'm sick of your whiny shit. Haven't you learned that if you obey, you get treated nicely? Like when I washed you up. DIDN'T THAT FEEL NICE??!!!"

"Y-Yes..."

"So why do you keep insisting on pissing me off?"

"I'm sorry!" she balled.

"Sorry? No... I'm gonna put you in the dark room... unless you beg me not to..."

Night Light's eyes widened in horror she put her muzzle at Twilight's hooves. "Please, no! Please! I'll do what ever you want! Just, please, no more dark room!" she beged and groveled.

"LOUDER!!!"

"PLEASE, I'LL DO ANYTHING. ANYTHING!" she nearly screamed.

Twilight smiled. "That's better. Now, come home with me. It's late, and I'm tired."

Night Light quietly sobbed as she did as told, trotting right behind Twilight.

The unicorn led Night Light back to her home and opened the door. "Upstairs. Now."

The unicorn crawled past Twilight and started up the stairs.

Twilight headed inside and closed the door, locking it. She then made her way upstairs.

Night had went into Twilight's room, turning on the light.

The unicorn entered her own room and closed the door. "Do I need to lock it? Or can I trust you?"

Night Light didn't answer.

"CAN I TRUST YOU??!!!"

"Y-Yes!"

"Good," said Twilight climbing into bed.

Night watched "Wh-Where do I sleep?..." she asked timidly.

"On the floor. You have to earn the bed."

She laid down where she was close to the door.

Twilight hung a forehoof over the edge of bed. "Come closer."

Night trotted slightly closer.

"Over here," said Twilight, shaking her hoof. "So, I can pet you."

The mare moved to Twilight, laying under her hoof.

The purple unicorn gently rubbed her head. Her horn flashed and a bright lava lamp appeared next to Night. "My little Night Light..."

"Th-Thank you."

Twilight smiled and turned off the lights. "Need more light, or is that enough?"

"Th-This is enough..."

Twilight patted her head. "Good night," she said, resting her head and closing her eyes, not yet falling asleep.

Night Light layed there, tossing around to find a comfortable position. Twilight opened one eye and sighed before lighting up her horn. A soft mat appeared beneath Night and a blanket appeared over her. As she mumbled a 'thank you'. Twilight petted her head briefly before closing her eyes and falling asleep. Nightlight laid there for a while as she tried to fall asleep.
