Nightmare Night was quickly approaching. A week from today. The whole town was preparing. Either for the festival or their own personal costumes. Even the Princess of the night was anxious for her visit to the little town. yes, this was going to be a Nightmare Night to remember.

 

The earth pony named Mr. Critical left his house to look over the celebration and its decour. He was partnered with the newly crowned Twilight Sparkle. His eye for perfection and her magic would help in placing the decorations to Rarity's instructions.

"Another holiday and more work for the courier," Draco said as he walked through twn with bandages on his wing. AGain he was hurt this time by a jelious wife. How was he suppose to know that the mare he was flirting with was already married to another mare.

[Mr. Critical 434]

Critical walked found the purple mare and approached her. Face glowing a bit red. "Hey, Twilight. How are you?" She turned around to find Critical. "Oh. hey Critical. Just doing some finishing touches for the event." He looked over her efforts. "Move the top left one down a tad. seven centameters actually." twilight did and the welcome banner was up and ready to present.

Draco walked right into town. He was happily humming a tune. He saw two ponies one was Twilight Sparkle part of his stress but also his bit bag. He smiled "Happy nightmare night milady," Draco said with abit of sarcasm to his voice. He loved being a smart ass sometimes it helps with the pain.

[Mr. Critical 434]

Twilight looked to the courier. "Oh, hello there. Have anything for me?" Critical merely looked to the courier. He had seen him around at times but never really got to know him. He just turned and began to make sure everything was fine with the decorations. Didn't want another scolding from rarity.

"Besides the extremely rare offensive spells of Starswirl the Bearded?" Draco asked as he pulled out a notepad. "Please sign this while I find the tome," Draco said as he handed her the notepad. He looked through his saddles bags and pulling out various objects that were either gifts from his friends who honored guest from the various tribes and kingdoms.

[Mr. Critical 434]

Twilight oblidged and signed the paper with the quill and her magic. Once her signature was on the page she handed it back to him and awaited her gift. She has been waiting for this package for a long time coming. And it was worth the wait. Critical looked behind the courier to see the decoration leaser coming. Raritiy.

 

(I guess I play both mares this time.)

Draco tossed a diamond into Rarity's mane as he looked through his saddlebags. "Ah ha found it," Draco said as he pulled out the tome. "Here it is Mrs. Twilight Sparkle. You've already paid me a month ago. So no need for the tip," Draco said as he looked at the mare.

[Mr. Critical 434]

"Thank you, sir. Oh, Rarity. Come to see the decorations coming along. They seem to be doing fine if I do say so myself." Rarity pulled the diamond from her mane and looked at it. "Oh, what a wonderful gift. Thank you Mr., um. I'm sorry, I don't have your name." Mr. Critical was watching this display. Staying quiet and listening like always with other ponies. He didn't speak to others. Twilight was his best friend so she was an exception from that.

"Draco O'Malley Mrs. Rarity. I am the local courier of exotic import and export," Draco said as he introduced himself. He smiled slightly. "Aye but that diamond is yours mrs. Rarity because you ordered it 3 months ago. It took me awhile but I finally found the perfect one,"

[Mr. Critical 434]

"Oh thank you. I have been wondering where this beauty has been." She looked to Draco. "And its Ms. Rarity. I don't have a mate as of yet. But that knight in shining armor is out there." Twilight looked to Rarity. Being her dramatic self as usual. Rarity looked over to Twilight and Critical. "Oh Twilight these look positively gorgeous." She got in between the mare and stallion observing their work. "This shall do just fine. Now, for your pay, Draco." She brought out some bits to pay him.

"Ms. Rarity 3 months ago you've already paid me remember," Draco said returning the bits. He wasn't the courier guild to demand more money that was already paid off what was owed. He was an honest stallion of trade. Of course there were some that would say they would pay him but didn't.

[Mr. Critical 434]

"Oh. My apologies. But thank you. Will you be staying for the festival? You are more than welcome to join." Twilight was busy going through the book while Critical watched as well. He may not be able to do magic but he still like to read the tomes Twilight has given him to look at in the library.

"I live here with my little sister," Draco said as he rubbed his wounded wing and side. "My job isn't asy. I worry for her qwhen I'm gone. Call me a soft heart but when your parents abandon your little sister because she couldn't fly," Draco said as his feather's ruffled with his anger.

[Mr. Critical 434]

"Oh I'm so sorry. From one older sibling to another, I understand your pain. To abandon a sibling is not known to me or my sister. I am ever so sorry for what ever pain you feel." Critical gave a nod in agreement. He had a sister too, though she was the eldest and he was the baby. Odd considering that he was taller than she was.

"Well I'm just glad she has friends to keep her company while I'm gone. I sometimes see they scooting along in a wagon and a scooter," Draco laughed merrily. as he saw that yesterday when he came home as quickly as he can to be there for his little sister's bring a family member to school.

[Mr. Critical 434]

Wait. Wagon? he doesn't mean.' Critical thought to himself. He looked to Rarity and could tell she was thinking the same. "By chance are you related to a one Scootaloo?" Twilight was starting to get it now. They were all a sibling of some kind. be they younger or older.

Draco said "Yes her older brother who teases her constantly," Draco chuckled "Of course not malicous teasing more like well innocent teasing. If I go to far I apologize of course," Draco said as he looked down. "I just wish I could be there for her more often," Draco said softly to himself.

[Mr. Critical 434]

"I understand. Hard to be there for a sister that you're too busy for. I know that first hand." Rarity looked him over, analyzing him. "Tell me, would you like to join me for a treat. Or when you're off duty we could get to know one another." Twilight and Critical looked to each other in confusion.

"Sounds good. I need to get to the hospital anyway. I have afew wounds that need some tender care," Draco said as he kissed Rarity's hoof then Twilight's "I bid you two a good night," Draco said as he walked. He smiled slightly as he chuckled. He chuckled as he began to sing to get his little sister's attention.

[Mr. Critical 434]

Rarity gave a giggle. She turned to her friends. "He was a gentlecolt, don't you think." Critical gave a shrug and looked to twilight. "I don't know. He seemed nice. But I think he's more interested in you. Speaking of which, Critic, I'm free for the rest of the day, you wanna do something?" Critical gave a happy nod.

But I think he's more interested in you. Speaking of which, Critic, I'm free for the rest of the day, you wanna do something?" Critical gave a happy nod.

Draco carried his little sister on his back as he took her out for trick or treating. He smiled as he dressed up as a vampire. His wounds could wait. It didn't help that his sister had used the puppy dog eyes against him. He sighed his sister really had him that time.

[Mr. Critical 434]

Rarity had gotten her sister dressed up for Nightmare Night. She wanted to go as sapphire shores. It was odd, but she had gotten the dress down to a tee. "Ohh, you look so darling, Sweetie." Sweetie was too busy looking herself over. "Come Sweetie. Your friends are probably waiting.

 

All the while, Twilight was retrieving Star Swirl costume. In the library, Critical was waiting for her. He was wearing a costume from one of his favorite movies. He had frizzy white har and some spiral goggles. "Oh, hey Critical. what are you supposed to be." Critical struck a pose. "Name's Dr. Insano. AHAHAHA!... I'm insane." Twilight rolled her eyes. "You don't say. Come lets go find the others.

Draco chuckled seeing Twilight in her Starswirl the bearded costume. "Ah your wearing Starswirl the bearded outfit again?" Draco asked as he smiled to himself. "Well I'm going to meet up with Rarity and her sister at Scootaloo's request. Damn puppy dog eyes," Draco muttered the last bit.

[Mr. Critical 434]

Twilight and Critic left the library trying to find her friends. Rainbow was scaring foals again, Applejack was monitoring the games, and Pinkie was... being pinkie. Twilight wanted to break the silence between them. Though, in public, she wasn't expecting a lot of words from him. The stallion was more shy than Fluttershy. He barely speaks a word with another pony around that wasn't her. "So, Critic. How have you been." Critical made a motion saying he was okay, then asked how she was. "Oh, I'm doing fine. Been kinda dull." The two continued to walk. "Uh, Critic. Would you, I don't know, wanna do something some time? Just the two of us." Critical looked to her in surprise, and nodded his head in acceptance. Twilight let out a squee in happiness. "Where do you think Rarity is?" Critical pointed at a Princess Rarity and a Sapphire Sweetie Belle.
