Ponyville / Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, The Crew / 10/31/61, 3:00 PM

She princesses had informed us about Nightmare Night, when Nightmare Moon was first banished to the moon for a thousand years and all that stuff. We saw what happened when we destroyed her for a second time, the giant stream of rainbow, her breaking into glass like pieces on the ground.

"T'was a bad time in my life. Worst. Thousand years. Ever." She said how boring it was to live on the moon for a thousand years, and I took her word for it, being bored for that long can drive someone insane. Anyways, The Crew and I had all picked out costumes, I had Elite Riot Gear from the Mojave, Jhon was wearing a real ninja suit from way back when they existed, Kaptn dressed up like Mr. T, Nick was dressed up like an internet meme, and Zach dressed up like a member of Ghost Squad, from Ghost Recon. The princesses decided to spend the day with us until tonight where they have things to do during Nightmare Night, Luna had to scare the little foals, while Princess Celestia went to go play some games with the other ponies. Twilight saw us walking down the street and joined in on our conversation.

"Hello princesses, hey guys. How are you doing this afternoon? I see that some of us are already in costume." She said, looking at our outfits, they weren't just costumes, they were the real shit.

"Hey, I worked hard to get these, they're not costumes, it's the real deal." I retorted, she just gave a, *pfft* and started talking to the princesses.

"Hi Princess Luna! How are you this Nightmare Night? I hope it's better than last year." She had that gleam in her eyes, hoping that she would agree.

"I'm fine Twilight Sparkle. Tia and I were just talking to the boys." She gestured her head to see us fooling around, Nick had a banana gun, shooting Kaptn with it, and I was eating the bananas that were coming out of the gun. I don't know where he got it, but I guess Zach was making it for recreational purposes. Anyways, we were goofing off, doing something other than talking with Twilight and the princesses.

"They are pretty interesting..." Twilight said, with a disturbed look on her face.

"I think I'll be on my way, goodbye princesses!" She trotted her way toward her house, I don't know what costume she was gonna put on, but I knew it would be pretty good. I guess we were still in this conversation with Luna, because she was still talking to us, asking us questions.

"How is Nightmare Moon? I hope she's doing terrible." She grunted, I just laughed and told her that she was dead, she wouldn't be a problem anymore.

"Drew, how was my moonshine? I hope it was to your liking." She asked me, do all of these ponies have that hopeful gleam in their eyes? Because that's what it seems like to me, but it's good to see that these ponies have a lot of hope in their life.

"Your moonshine was awesome princess, and I drank all of it." I told her, I wondered why she was asking me these questions. Anyways, she was happy to hear me say that I loved it.

"That's good to hear. So, I hope you all have a good Nightmare Night!" She was done asking us questions, she flew away going to help set up everything for Nightmare Night.

"Well thank god, that was awkward." Nick said, wiping imaginary sweat from his face, I nodded in agreement. Princess Luna doesn't know when to stop asking questions, but that's okay since she's been locked away for a thousand years, she wants to know what's going on in modern times. I saw that other ponies were in costume already as well, Rainbow was dressed like Spitfire, and Pinkie Pie was dressed as...a guard from Delta 1-1, interesting.

"Pinkie? Why are you dressed like Dark Mist?" I knew that Dark Mist was in Delta because I met him during boot camp, he was one of the best out of the class.

"Because he's famous! Duh!" I didn't know that Dark Mist was famous? HOW did he become famous? Pinkie showed me a magazine, and what do you know. Dark Mist was on the front cover, whoopee. I was glad for him, but he can't be telling the press about our missions, that would be illegal. I really hope he wasn't telling them about our missions, but when I read it, he was actually showing them him shooting the gun I built for him. At least it wasn't illegal, but now we had to re-conceal everything he revealed to the public, and that won't go without consequences. I found the princess and informed her about it, she was very disappointed at Dark Mist too.

"Drew, you shall deal out the consequences toward Mr. Mist, I need to tend to wiping the memories of the ponies who witnessed it." She said, casting a rather powerful spell, and then she let out a gasp for air.

"You okay princess?" I said, trying to help her up. Once she was up, I walked over to help Princess Luna and her Nightmare Moon prank.

"Drew! Good to see you, come help me out, I'll need lightning to pull this off." She said, trotting over to the statue.

"I need you to do the special effects while I scare the foals really quickly." She replaced the statue, changing into Nightmare Moon in the process.

"Okay everypony! Time to give your candy offering!" Pinkie Pie said, still dressed like a member of Delta Force, but she didn't know why.

"THANK YOU CHILDREN! SINCE I HAVE THIS! I MAY NOT EAT YOU THIS YEAR!" Luna said in her RCV (Royal Canterlot Voice), scaring the shit out of Pipsqueak and the other fillies. Kaptn was helping Rainbow scare all the ponies using his Mr.T impression.

"I PITY THE FOOL!" Kaptn was using his best impression of Mr.T, with Rainbow laughing her ass off, watching the ponies flee in terror under Kaptn's Mohawk, gold chains, and stuff like that. Rainbow was pranking the poor ponies like she did the year before, using a thundercloud. The sight of it was hilarious, but it was also sad for the ponies who got scared the shit out of.

Pretty much everypony I know went in the same costumes as last year, or what I've been told by Pinkie at least. Tonight's Nightmare Night is my first ever, and so far it's been going well. I've been scoring candy with Pinkie, helped design costumes for Rarity, helped Applejack with the games, assisted Fluttershy overcome her fear of giving out candy to little fillies and colts, and I helped Twilight with trying to get ponies to understand her Starswirl the Bearded costume. In the end I went to the bar and had myself a few drinks, hung out with Rainbow at the bar, and then went home to give out candy for the rest of the night. Today just had shits and giggles written all over it, but there was one more thing I had to do before I go home.

Canterlot Barracks / Drew, Delta 1-1 / 10:00 PM

"What do you mean I'm on leave?!" Dark Mist was furious, he wanted to be famous, but we've taken that away from him.

"You are under direct violation of Section 1, paragraph C, sentence 5, and it states, 'Anyone who reveals secrets out to the public must be stripped of their rank and is suspended from The Unit until further notice." I calmly replied, he was a Staff Sergeant and he was being bumped down to a Private, not to mention he was suspended from The Unit. There really was a handbook that they should've read before joining up, and there's a consequence like this if you don't read it. Since Dark Mist was on leave, another had to take command of Delta 1-1, that's where Captain Thunder Wind came in, he is fresh out of bootcamp, and he was the best graduate of that class.

"It's an honor to serve the Delta Force sir, I hope I can live up to your standards sir." He was taking this really seriously, he just graduated with the rank of a captain, I guess this is how he did it.

"So, you're the rookie? Well, Rookie, meet your new squad. You are now in command of Delta 1-1." I put the CO's badge on him, so he would be recognized as the squad leader of Delta 1-1. I knew Shadow Streak wasn't happy about his, but it was for the best.

Since I've been gone, there were already a few squads ready for deployment, there were Squads from 0-1, all they way to 4-1, so there were already four squads made up of 4-6 ponies each, which I knew making guns for them would be a pain in the ass to make.

"Where's the engineering rooms?" I asked Shiny, who was still up at this hour, he pointed to the direction of a worn out shack, but on the inside it looked almost as good as new.

"Engineer Ironworks ready for your orders sir." He saluted me, I had given him the schematics of how to make a few of the guns I used back on Earth, and in other dimensions. I had given him the schematics of the Anti-Materiel Rifle, ACR, the SCAR-L, the MP5, MP7, the M1014, SPAS-12, and the M40A5. In which I wanted him to modify them to be able to fit suppressors on them, I also gave him schematics for extended mags, and to have the trigger guards removed on the guns. I decided to walk to the trainstation until I got jumped, by Shadow Streak and his old gang members, I should've known.

"THIS, Is for stripping me of my rank you motherbucker!" He curb stomped me in the chest, cracking my rib cage.

"This one's for suspending me from The Unit!" He curb stomped me again in he same place, I was coughing up blood now, and in serious pain.

"Dark Mist, stop this at once!" I heard Princess Luna shout at him, these ponies travel a lot faster than I think they do, I thought she was still in Ponyville.

"Dark Mist, this is intolerable. Guards, throw him in the dungeon!" She ordered, the night guards took Dark Mist away as his friends fled in terror. I decided that it would be a good time to crack a joke.

"Thank you for saving me from that mean bully mommy." I stifled a laugh of pain, coughing up blood. Luna was not amused, she just let out a sigh and cast a healing spell on me, mending my broken ribs, and bruises.

"Well, that escalated quickly." I managed to say, Princess Luna just giggled as we started walking and talking.

"Why are you up so late Drew? I thought everypony would be asleep right now?" She asked me, I always usually stay up late. Hell, I pulled all-nighters all the time.

"I always stay up late princess, the night time air calms me down, plus I had to do some things before I went to bed." I replied, I had heard that Princess Luna slept during the day, so she could stay up all night. I decided that this was a situation that calls for an all-nighter.

"I can stay up with you if you would like princess?" I asked reluctantly, she was surprised at my offer, and she nodded with excitement. All Luna and I did last night was talk, I talked about what's been going on that I know about in modern society, she taught me a few tricks, and how to use the royal canterlot voice, which could come in handy in the future. Princess Luna always says how night court is boring because most ponies are asleep, but I was one who could stay up for like three to four days straight. Princess Luna and I are a lot alike, only that I have no sister, but I do have a lot of friends, I know what it's like to be lonely at times. Friends are there for you when you need them the most, I learned that when I was commanding my squad for the first time.

"Princess, what's it been like before you were sent to the moon? I mean like in Equestria in the olden days?" I asked her, I always had a thing for history. She just pulled a book out of nowhere and gave it to me, it was rather dusty too. I instantly read it using a spell that allows me to mind read it and get the main points out of it, and now I know about Equestria's past.

"Drew, I've never had somepony stay up with me all night, Tia would come and check up on me at times. This is a first, I have to say." She said letting out a yawn. It looked like it was almost morning, so I led her to her bedchamber so she can sleep. I on the other hand went on the first train back to Ponyville, letting myself sleep until I arrive back.
