Crystal smiles "You'll have to get used to  it darling, it is one of his ways of coping" Crystal says then whispers "He'll be ducking out once we start work on your wedding dress, call us old fashioned darling, but our family believes it is bad luck for the groom to see the dress before the wedding" she says and winks at Night who chuckles and follows them, he then looks down at his feet as he feels a little furball bump into his leg and he looks down to see the shy manticore cub had snuck out after them. He chuckles "Well aren't you a little explorer," he says as he picks her up and goes over to Dew Drop "hey sweety, look who decided to join us" he says, holding the shaking little cub in his arms, but as soon as she saw Dew, her ears perked and she let out a cute little 'mew'

Dew's ears drooped as she nods in understanding. "I remember Night told me a-about that. I guess it makes sense having be lost and forgetting about that sadness." She giggles and nods. "I can understand that. I g-guess I'm part of the old fashioned group. My family believed in the same thing w-when it came to marriage. However, I never knew it was bad luck for the groom to s-see the wedding dress before the wedding." Her ears perked as she heard Night address her. She turns around to see Night holding the little manticore cub. She frowns, but soon smiles as she saw the little cub was happy to see her. She blushes and giggles as she heard the cub let out a cute little meow. She grabs the cub and holds said cub in her arms. "Oh, how did you get our of your cage? I guess Nightie f-forgot to lock the gate. You are just adorable, little one. Like a little mew." Her eyes shrank slightly, as she came to a realization. "I've got it! I have the p-perfect name for you, little one. How about I call you Mini Mew. Just like the meow you just made. You're my little mew mew."

Crystal smiles as she asks one of her handmaidens to go and check the cage for them. Night blushes "I'm sorry darling, I had suffered a lot yes, and I've had my ways of coping, but I really don't need them anymore, now that I have you, my life is looking up greatly" he says with a smile and nuzzles her, He then smiles as Mini Mew mewed and purred at the name, he chuckles "I think she likes it, but maybe just call her Mew when she is older and bigger, calling a full grown Manticore "Mini" is a bit awkward" he chuckles.

 

Crystal nods "I am glad to hear that from you my young nephew, everyone here had been very worried for and about you. My husband and daughters the most"

Dew sighs in relief as the handmaidens went to check the cage. She went over and took Night's hand into hers. "It's okay, Nightie. I didn't know, but I'm r-really glad you told me. I'll always be by your side, sweetie. I feel the same when I know that you're with me. My life is starting to look up as well." She nuzzles him and giggles. She looks at the small cub in her arms and nods. "I'm so glad she likes that name. I guess you do have a point there, Nightie. D-Do you know how long it takes for her to become an adult sized manticore? Just to be sure, so I'll stop calling her Mini. She'll always be my mew mew though." She says as she smiles brightly.

 

She looks to Crystal and tilts her head. "I'm sorry to hear about that. I-I'm glad you and your family worry about him. I-It warms my heart knowing this giant carnival cares about o-one another. You also have daughters? Are they crystal vamponies, as well?"

Night shrugs but as they enter the caravan, which was lavish, luxurious palace of a sort, the stallion that was sitting on a throne and had his feet up, his boots being polished by a scruffy looking page boy, answers "It normally takes at least a decade or so for them to fully grow, it depends on the care that they are given" he says then stands up and smiles widely with a pure white smile "So, you must be young miss Dew Drop, the future wife of my only nephew and the future princess of the Carnival" he says then bows "Lord Sommer Days at your service my lady" he says, gently kissing her hand.

 

Night rolls his eyes "We better be careful auntie, I think uncle Sommer may try to steal my fiance" he says with a dry laugh, then turns to Dew "Don't mind my uncle, he's rather old fashioned and believes in being chivalrous."

 

"My dear boy, when you've lived as long as I have, you'll grow to love and appreciate the old fashioned ways, and miss Dew, as to your other question, yes our daughters are crystal-vamponies. They are the sweetest little fillies you could ever wish to meet" he says then smiles "Rosie, Nightbloom, Firelilly, come here!" he calls out and soon three little fillies come in and bow to their father. He chuckles "Darlings, this is miss Dew Drop, your big cousin Nightmare's future wife, and soon future princess of our tribe. I want you to be on your best behavior around her, help her to feel welcome into our family." he says, petting each of them on their heads.

 

"Yes father" they all say in unison, except for the youngest, Rosie, who said "Yes daddy"

As she entered the caravan, she spun around in wonder at how beautiful things were. She notices a pony sitting on a throne, who got down to meet them. She giggles nervously, as she felt him take her hand and kisses it. "It's an honor to meet you, Lord Sommer. That's also really interesting and surprising information. At least I'll be able to keep calling this little one, my mini Mew." She says while nuzzling the small manitcore cub.

 

She turns to look at Night and shakes her head. "I-It's okay, Nightie. I think being chivalrous is a good thing, you know? It shows how kind and respectful one can be. At least you all are different than the ponies are now." Her eyes widen in surprise as the three crystal vamponies appeared. She gushed at how cute and adorable they were, but tried to stay calm. She walks up to them and gives them a smile and bow. "Like your father said, my name is Dew Drop. It's really nice to meet you and I hope we can g-get along." She looks up to Sommer with a curious glance. "Excuse me, Lord Sommer? How did you know that I would be a p-princess, anyway? None of us ever s-said anything. Plus, I only ever heard about this from Mistypaw."

"Indeed and I do believe she quite likes the name," Lord Sommer says as he gently pets Mini Mew then chuckles "As for the princess thing, I am Lord of this tribe, and thus our dear Mistypaws does converse her predictions with me" he says then chuckles once more at how Dew was reacting to his daughters "They're my precious little flowers, and as such love being fussed over and pampered." he says then winks to Night "Now my boy, we need to talk, shall we leave these ladies to do their thing?"

 

Night smiles and nods "Sure uncle, we'll be back love" he says to Dew and kisses her softly "Have fun" he finishes as he walks out with his uncle.

 

Crystal smirks "Now the fun begins, girls, get my fabrics, sewing equipment and desk ready, and miss Drop, I'm going to need to take your measurements"

Dew smiles and giggles at the little cub in her arms. She then looks to Sommer and nods. "I'm really glad she likes that name. It seems to suit her well. I almost thought I would have no idea for a name. I guess I'm glad to be wrong." She tilts her head and looks at the leader with widened eyes. "T-That's pretty amazing. I guess that makes sense when thinking about it. H-However, that reminds me of some show. It involved ninja, but this giant toad had visions of the future too. I-I used to watch the show every now and then." She giggles and sighs at the memory.

 

Dew frowns and pouts, but smiles and nods in understanding. She returns the kiss and sighs softly. "I'll see you soon, Nightie and will do." She waves to him as she watches him walk off with Sommer. She turns around and looks to Crystal, as if she was going crazy. "S-Sounds to me like we'll be a little busy. I can do that for you, Miss Crystal, but what do I need to do?"

Crystal hums as she looks at her "You wouldn't believe it, with how long Mistypaws looks, but she and my husband have been faithful companions to each other since he was a little colt and she was a little cub" she says with a soft smile.

Dew Drop nods with a smile. "He really is strong. Strong willed and he has a kind and caring heart. I-I'll always stay by his side." She nods and does as ordered, as Crystal took her measurements. As she stood in place, she glances at the others in wonder of Mistypaw. "That must be for a very long time. I-I'm not truly sure the lifespan of a vampony, but I would assume for a very long time? If so, then Mistypaw must be really old. I don't mean that in a bad way, but don't animals h-have a certain amount of a lifespan?" She asks, but smiles and giggles at Rosie. "I think it's really s-sweet that Sommer and Misty have a strong connection. It shows how special their friendship really is. Nightie even told me the same thing. Misty is such a kind and caring kitsune. He even said that we might stay with Misty and the other cubs tonight."

Crystal nods and smiles "A very, very long time. Vamponies such as my darling Sommer are as immortal as the Princesses are my dear,  and it does make sense that dear Night would say that about Mistypaws. she's been like a surrogate mother to him ever since his mother, my dear sister passed away" she says and hums a little, "Hmm, now the measurements are done, let us see what my darling girls have done for you" she says, leading Dew to the table where the designs were being drawn up "Well girls, you've certainly outdone yourselves once more, I'm very proud of you" she says hugging them then looks at the one that stood out the most "Oh this would look lovely dear, can you see how they implemented your talent with flowers into the design? There's crystal outlines of roses and violets."

Dew frowns a little, but smiles softly. "That's u-unfortunate to hear, but I'm glad Mistypaw has taken care of Night. If Sommer is immortal, then what about you, Miss Crystal. I-I'm not entirely sure if crystal ponies are immortal, but how can you live as long as your husband? Is there such a way to make that happen?" She sighs in relief as the measurements were finished. She walks with Crystal toward her children and gasps softly at the drawings. A smile appeared and nods in approval. "These drawings are absolutely beautiful. You'd think they were gifted artist's or something. I especially love the floral design that's on the dress. Roses and violets seem fitting for the design as well." She says before hugging Crystal and her daughters. "Thank you all s-so much. I appreciate this and I can't wait to wear this dress. I think Nightie will love this dress as well." She smiles and giggles happily. Mini Mew went over to the daughters and nuzzles while yipping happily.

"Well, it's kind of a dark story, but on the day of our wedding, we..well we shared blood, so I have his vampony blood in my veins, as do our darling daughters. Yes we are ageless and immortals but we can still die." she says then smiles as the girls giggle and hug the young mare back. 

 

"Thank you miss Dew, we are very happy that you like our design, and we had cousin Night in mind when coming up with it. The crystal patterns will shine and sparkle in the light too" Nightblossom says with a giggle, then looks to Rosie who was looking somewhat sad, "Rosie you did a very good with writing down the measurements, I know you want to join in with making the design, but you're still a little young to do so, maybe next time, okay?" Nightblossom says as she hugs her baby sister, who perks up a little, "C-can I go pway with the foxies pwease?" she asks, and Nightblossom smiles "Of course you can sweetie, why not take miss Dew with you?"

 

The youngest filly looks up at Dew Drop and asks really cutely "W-wanan go pway with the foxies c-cousin Dew Dwop?" she asks before reaching up for a hug.

Dew Drop shivered slightly, but couldn't help to stare in awe at Crystal. She smiles softly and blushes. "That sounds so r-romantic, Miss Crystal. Being able to share that kind of immorality must be a relief. That way, neither side has to worry about outliving the other. T-That does bring up a good question though. Would I be immortal, due to becoming a princess one day? If that happens, would Nightie share my life with me, as well?" She looks to the vampony fillies and smiles. "Your welcome, Nightblossom and that sounds a-amazing. I like how the dress shines in the light. I'm glad you had Night in your thoughts when making the dress. He'll be really happy to hear that."

 

She frowns, but smiles softly at Rosie. "I think you're a g-great artist, Rosie. It's just like your big sister said, though. You're still really young when it comes to dress making, but there's always next time. J-Just have patience and you'll have the opportunity." She then picks up the small vampony filly and hugs her tightly. "Of course we can see the f-foxes, sweetie. We can see Misty and bring Mini Mew with us. Ready to be cuddles by cute foxes?" She asks as she exits Crystal's caravan. "We'll be right back. If y-you need us, we'll be at the fox pen." She calls out behind her as they exit the caravan.

That'd be absolutely adorable, Dewy would love it!" he says with excitement and sees his fiance and youngest niece having a good time with Mistypaws and her kits. He smiles "That is wonderful, I knew she'd fall head over heels for Rosie, who wouldn't?" he laughs before waving to his uncle before going to the fox pen and hugging Dew from behind and kissing her neck "Hey there, what's a beautiful young mare like you doing in a place like this?" he asks with a laugh, holding her close.

She looks down to Rosie with a smile. "Is drawing one thing you like most? I remember Nightie telling me some are helping in growing food. Then you all t-take the food to sell and eat, as well. My talent for growing plants could help here, but I've got to talk to Night's father about that." She says as they neared the fox pen. "Who's your favorite fox out of the bunch, little Rose?" She asks, but is suddenly pulled into an embrace. She shivers slightly from the kiss on the back of her neck, but giggles as she leans into the hug. "Who me? I'm just waiting for the show tonight. Apparently I've been c-called to help assist the circus team in planting. A-Also there's this colt that I've grown very fond of." She holds her laughter in, but to no avail.
