Featuring Under Cover from @ask-acepony
Being back in Ponyville was always a delight to the young unicorn. Something about the way all the ponies mingle there in harmony and sharing their talents among each other always brings a smile to his face and today was no different. The leaves were turning color and little fillies were running about playing in the cool autumn breeze as all the adults worked together to turn their homes into scary respites form the dark forces that are coming. Nightmare night was almost upon them.
He let out a soft chuckle to himself as a few children ran right past them through the busy cobblestone streets of town. It was a time where children can go door to door asking for candy and enjoy the night like it was meant to be. Well… Sort of. It is at the expense of Luna and her darker side, but she doesn’t seem to mind. In fact, she seemed to enjoy the exotic festivities that the holiday brings if he recalled correctly. While some of the tradition was lost on him, the gothic themes the holiday presented and faux cobwebs did bring out a different kind nostalgia in him. It reminded him of home in a way, as he remembered it.
It wasn’t exactly in the best of a shape the last time he was there, but the fact he was able to pay his homeland a final farewell before it was wiped off the map was nice. That was more than he could say for the others. He was all alone now and has been for a long time, save for one other pony, but he shant think of that right now. He wasn’t here to open up that can of worms, he was here to visit his marefriend that lived here.
It has been a long time since the two of them last talked, most notably the last pony prom they had planned on attending. He just hoped that she wasn’t too sore about his work calling him away at the last minute. She seemed like she really wanted to go. It pained him that their conflicting schedules did this to them, but they did know what they were getting into when they started dating. He let out a sigh, dampening his previous good mood that the holiday was putting him in. This was going to be hard…
