Welcome to Canterlot I hope you have as much fun here as I do and also you better keep that glowstick it may save your life one day

'The farm, my life will be gone' Orange thought to himself

"You think the guard's coming to take you away for injuring that pony? That pony who is stood over there? I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think opening a door on somepony is enough to back an arrest warrant. Now. Stay still, eyes open wide.Can you tell me your name, and count backwards from ten out loud?"

"Wait ... What. That's mighty awkward, sorry. Did I break your door? I didn't mean to I just can get a bit worked up on somethings. Did I feint, I did didn't I? This doubles the awkwardness" Orange began to blurt out trying to stop the doctor worrying about him, Orange didn't really like being the centre of attention and the flashlight the Doctor was shining in his eyes didn't help, Orange tried to make himself as small as possible even though he was still laying down. "Why is my face so wet, that doesn't really make much sense since I was in a vodka explosion with fire and stuff, mind you it was only a small one" . Orange remembering the doctors first request "Oh right I'm Dimitri Orangiko Tundra, but just call me Orange Tundra it's much less painful than trying to listen to ponies try and say my name with a Stalliongradish accent" Orange stated with a stronger accent on his name than usual "and I'm fine I've had worse there was this one time when ... oh never mind I won't bore you with the details but lets just say it involved a large house, 4 ponies, a cart and 3 bottles of Vodka" Orange stopped himself when he realised he had started to ramble a bit.

"I see your busy Doctor Betterbones so I can just wait I'm just a little bruised and singed but I'm fine ... really but I do have a splitting headache now" Orange smiled trying the reassure the Doctor on how fine he actually was. Orange immediately stood up on his hooves only to realise one of them to be sprained, Orange winced a little be was able to walk/limp his way to a seat and sat down, patiently quietly berating himself on how foalish he was and tried to measure how much dignity he had just lost then.

Orange looked around the night almost over 'finally' he thought to himself 'this nightmare is almost over, I just hope that I can escape this night with the rest of my dignity'. Orange started to trot around mindlessly just waiting for the night to be over and for everypony to go home so he could escape this crazy town without anypony realising. The mirror house was the where Orange started his nightmare so it was just that it would also serve as the place where it would end. Orange had been scared half to death by everything, he had hid and uprooted a bush and feinted about 3 times meanwhile loosing all his dignity to anypony nearby him.

Orange just couldn't wait for the night to be over he just continued to trot on hopelessly lost but he couldn't care less for soon the night would be over, he would be able to go home and tend to his farm and maybe one day forget this night altogether, "what am I thinking, I'll never forget the night I humiliated myself in front of everypony 3 times in one night. Oh well at least I don't have to come back here anytime soon" Orange said to himself as he passed mirror after mirror dreaming of home.

Orange had been dreaming of his wonderful farm and of his family back in Stalliongrad, of the green fields surrounding his small humble home where he would make and brew his own vodka and of the sudden flooding of the world. Orange awoke suddenly hugging a extraordinarily fluffy white pillow, on the floor, sore, covered in ash and quite frankly more confused than usual. "What?" Orange managed to mutter out with his eyes half closed still he felt like he could sleep for a week, slowly the memories started to come back to him, the explosion the trot to Solstice Heights the doctor's office the pegasus he had recently killed as Orange suddenly remembered why he had been panicking 'the imperial guard are already on their way' Orange thought. "Must escape" Orange muttered still half dazed he took off into the direction he remembered where the door was.

*thud*

For the second time today Dr. Betterbones's door had received two high speed delusional patients but was still able to hold fast the only remnants of it's battle with these pegasi was the large pegasus imprints on the frosted glass. Orange somewhat more dazed after fighting with the door realised he was trapped he would obviously be sent to prison for malicious pony-slaughter where he would live out the rest of his days working the rocks turning them into gravel. "I give up" Orange quietly muttered, Orange now was emotionally and physically deflated and defeated as he lay battered and bruised body on the floor, his eyes closed, just waiting for the guards to take him away. Thinking back to his farm, his family and his glorious Orange Tundra brand Vodka all Orange could do was sigh.

Orange ran burst through the doors of the mirror house, he was scared out of his mind and needed somewhere to hide where nopony will be able to sneak up on him. "Good, now nopony will be able to sneak up on me" he muttered slightly out of breath, he had ran here from the Nightmare Moon statue for fear of being turned into a chicken or some random inanimate object. Orange had started to walk around and started to feel himself relax a little for the first time all night. "Nopony will be able to sneak up on me with all these mirrors around me I can see everywhere" Orange chuckled as he started to trot around.

'Wait was that something in my reflection ... oh no someone is in here with me, I've got to hide but where I'm in a mirror house ... oh Celestia this was a trap wasn't it now I can't hide or escape ... I guess I'll have to run' Orange immediately started to run aimlessly through the maze an effort to escape this mysterious reflection ghost. *crash* The last thought Orange had before he was knocked unconscious was whether or not that was his reflection or not.

Orange heard some screaming behind him "Oh no" he looked around to see a pink earth pony chicken naturally Orange just assumed the worst "Nightmare Moon has turned her into a chicken and now she's here for us" Orange screamed as he ran away as fast as he could heading to the only place where no one could sneak up behind him the mirror house. Completely forgetting the strangely coloured pony he ran off as fast as his hooves could carry him.

Orange had run here from Pinkie's Hilarious House of Horrors after seeing Nightmare Moon 'oh god what happens if she follows me, that will be bad she is the most evillest pony that ever existed, she might banish me to the sun or something' Orange thought as he ran not really looking where he as going "I've got to get out of here maybe hide in a bush ... yeah no one will find me in a bush or what if" Orange continued to contemplate possible hideaways while he ran towards the edge of town.

Orange had ran unwittingly towards the Nightmare Moon statue, 'huh what's that' Orange thought "Oh Celestia, she's found me got to run, got to escape", Orange then hastily started to turn and run but had ran into another pony who was dressed as a detective "Oh I'm so sorry did I hurt you, I'm just kinda trying to escape and stuff and probably hide in a bush ... hey what's wrong with your coat why is so weirdly coloured?" Orange asked, completely forgetting why he had started running in the first place.

Orange had been wandering through Solstice Heights for a while now, he was limping slightly on his rear left leg, his face covered in ash and the tips of his wings slightly singed but even through his injuries he still was able to smile. "What are the chances, a small explosion and some lightning isn't enough to stop me" Orange chuckled under his breath "Oh well it can't be that bad it was only a small explosion and a bit of fire, I am sore though ... Ah a doctor's surgery, this might be a better option compared to trotting back to Stalliongrad to see the family doctor". Orange was only passing by Solstice Heights to deliver his wares but due to some unforeseen circumstances ended up battered, bruised and slightly singed but surprisingly relaxed about his injuries.

Orange walked up to the front of the Doctor's surgery, "Dr. Betterbones, what an impressive Doctor's surgery for such as small town" Orange thought aloud 'Oh well a doctor is a doctor right?' Orange thought to himself as he began to walk/limp towards the door. *crash* The door to Dr. Betterbones's office shook immensely 'um ok' Orange thought, not noticing the pegasus shaped mark on the inside of the frosted glass door.

Orange pushed the door open, the door felt slightly heavier than any other normal door but Orange just assumed it to him just being tired. Orange continued to push the door open he heard a small bell above him to announce his arrival. Orange walked into the clean Doctor's surgery, it looked like any other stereotypical doctor's office except for a beanbag 'must be for the foals' Orange assumed. Orange began to look around a bit more 'seems pretty normal anatomical posters, pony skeleton, computer, books, knocked out pegasus by the door ... wait what' Orange looked down to the pegasus he had just pushed away with the door "Oh sweet Celestia I'm so sorry, what happened did I make it worse areyouhurtohClesetiapleasesayyou'reok". Orange began to panic 'what if I killed her, oh no I don't want to go to prison they do stuff to colts like me in there, or maybe I'll get banished I don't want to get banished, I like being unbanished' Orange continued to work himself up, he could feel the darkness start to surround his eyes. His last thoughts were about being banished as a banana as he collapsed onto the ground.

surprising flank enjoyment

'HA, a haunted house. These were never to scary in Stalliongrad therefore this will be the best place for me to prove myself' Orange thought to himself as he walked up to the entrance, unaware of the reputation Pinkie Pie had built up of having the scariest haunted houses this side of Equestria. Orange pushed open the door and stepped in, head held high full of hubris, Orange could only marvel at the complexity of the 'decorations', there were severed hooves hanging from the ceiling a pony skeleton in the corner, all of it just looked so real. 'Wow, everything just looks so well done, so real, this must be this pony's special talent or something' Orange shuddered at the thought of what that pony would be like 'creepy'.

As Orange placed his last hoof into the threshold the door slammed shut behind him bumping his flank, Orange tumbled onto the floor that was made slippery with magic before hand. Orange slid head first into the pony skeleton, when Orange opened his eyes he remembered all to well about his bruised muzzle he had received at the house of mirrors, he looked up 'huh a white stick, oh wait' the realisation dawned on him of what had only happened just moments ago, "sweet Celestia" Orange yelled as he stood up quickly the skeleton falling into a pile of bones on the floor. 'Ok keep your cool ... don't panic, your just in a haunted house, it's just a haunted house, they're never scary ... right?' Orange started to calm himself down until he felt an unsettling crawling sensation on his mane 'uh is a cobweb stuck in my hair, wait ... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 black legs ...' "SPIDER!" Orange started yelling "GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF" Orange immediatley started to rub his head on the floor in an effort to forcibly remove the spider from his mane. After what felt like hours of head rubbing on the floor Orange was fairly certain the spider was gone 'what kind of pony would do such a thing they could kill a pony with tricks like that ... unless ... they ... want ... to ... kill ... ponies' "Oh no, oh no why does this keep happening" Orange at this point was truly and definitely scared out of his mind for the 3rd time this night. Orange then lunged at the door handle only to discover nothing "damn it". Orange then turned slowly to begin his long search for escape looking at every possible thing that could hide something that could pop out or grab him.

Orange stood there dumbstruck, scared out of his mind still but now one piece of candy richer. 'Well at least I have candy, even though I lost most of my dignity, oh well lets just hope I can somehow regain it by the end of tonight or I will forever be known as the banana fearing, slightly eccentric colt who tries to hide in bushes. I may as well head into town seeing I cant escape weirdness no matter where I go'

With that Orange displayed his respect to the princess by bowing and then started to turn back to the direction of town trying to come up with an idea of how to redeem himself.

So are the rankings going to be put up after all the nights are finished, if so is there any other way we can check our ranking now. I'm not complaining I'm just curious

'Ahh a peaceful forest, thank Celestia, this night has been eventful enough for me all I need to do is take a nice long walk' Orange thought as he started down the track through the Everfree forest, being from Stalliongrad he was not familiar with the tales of monsters and dangers that lurk within the forest. So far Orange's night has been very eventful even after many scares and near mental breakdowns Orange was a bit edgy but not too shaken from the experiences thus far. "I can't believe I thought crazed poniacs would want to turn me into a banana, sometimes I think the hard work is starting to get to me" Orange muttered under his breath, "this walk will do me good".

As soon as Orange walked past the threshold from Ponyville to the Everfree forest a noticeable change in temperature and lighting could be felt here it seemed more sinister compared to a few steps back. "Oh great, not again" Orange muttered turning around to see only an impenetrable wall of darkness, "why me? What have I done recently to anger the Celestial sisters". Orange turned back around and started a slow trot forward, he started to sing to himself an old Stalliongrad song, Orange not being the greatest song but the song did the trick and as he sung it with pride, memories flooding from his foalhood and as the sung progressed his couraged rose and so did his volume. Soon the whole Everfree forest echoed from the sound of his singing. Orange continued on his way singing loudly.

Orange continued on his way in his most miraculous bush escape, trotting along hoping that other pony would have been scared away by his talking bushiness, when two bits of candy dropped down off the branches 'strange that makes four now, what is so special about me getting scared and candy popping around out of nowhere. I may as well head to the centre of town for it is impossible to escape this accursed holiday' Orange continued on his way trotting with the bush still attached to himself hoping he can escape this night relatively unscathed.

Super awesome post

By that guys just above me

Pretty damn awesome

Orange finally came to the realisation of his somewhat crazy episode before, 'oh by the celestial sisters, if I reveal my self now I will be more of a laughing stock especially what happened in the mirror house. Maybe I could still escape by digging myself out ... no too conspicuous ... um ha I got it if I uproot the bush I'll be able to move it with me that pony will never see it coming'.

"Oh hey is that a piece of candy over there"

Orange quickly shouted without looking if his ploy had worked he had quickly uprooted the tree and started to trot away doing his best to not look too suspicious as a walking talking pony eating bush as possible.

"Uhhh" Orange started to panic "the talking bush of death does not know of this Orange you speak of, he is certainly not hiding from some crazy poniacs out in the open field who probably want to turn him into a banana ... or worse, so uhh ... yeah". Orange started to peek his head above his little hole trying to get a look at this other pony but consequently his Dark Orange fur stood out as it was not really designed with the idea of camouflage and concealment. "I warn you this last time I am a bush of death and ... st-stuff and I-I c-can eat you, I mean eat you and stuff, so just to be sure I'm not a pony in a bush but a killer bush of death that can eat ponies" Orange started to get quieter as each word began to make less and less sense. Still with most of his head above the hole Orange waited to see if he was as good as a liar as he hoped he was.

Orange continued to dig vigorously for salvation, already about half of his body was in the hole 'only another 50 or so metres' Orange thought to himself starting to relax at the thought of safety, these thoughts however were short lived as he heard a distinct voice behind him 'no, no, no, no, I was so close now somepony is going to turn me into a banana or worse, I could always fly away ... No that wouldn't work everypony knows banana magicians can counteract flyiness, wait what?' Orange's thoughts were cut short by the distinct sound of the bush being moved. 'Oh no, think fast ... deter them. How? I don't know how, think of something'

...

...

"Uhh ... I am the bush of death and um, do not disturb me or I will, do something" Orange tried to state with a confident voice but only managed to sound even more nervous, by this moment in time even the loud crickets that could be heard around the Everfree forest stopped chirping from the sheer awkwardness being demonstrated at this moment in time, "I think, you have been warned, because I am a killer bush not a pony hiding from crazy banana wielding poniacs who seek revenge against Orange" Orange started to hold his breath, most of his flank in a hole in a bush in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by crazy ponies on the worst night of the year, hoping that his well developed ploy would work.

Orange who was still in the obviously shaking bush could hear all kinds of noises outside his little piece of bush heaven, but was still too busy being terrified to pay much attention. 'maybe I can dig my way out, yeah no monster can get me underground. Those poniacs won't ever suspect a pony to dig their way out to freedom'

"Hey! Who do you think you are, trying to scare me! You leave me alone and don't come back you stupid monster!"

'Oh Celestia, they're already looking for me, have to start digging for my life'. Orange started to fling hoof-fuls of dirt in the air in a final effort of escape, consequently the already shaking bush he was using as a hideaway was now shedding large amounts of dirt in the air.

Chapter 2

'"Let me think about it... Nah!" Jiktin relied as he went back to gathering his gold.'

'"Let me think about it... Nah!" Jiktin replied as he went back to gathering his gold.'

'There was a faint roar coming from the tunnel. Taking a look, Danton saw it was a Green Dragon. Thinking quickly, Danton grabbed Jiktin and hide behind a column by the tunnel to the exit.'

'There was a faint roar coming from the tunnel. Taking a look, Danton saw it was a green Dragon. Thinking quickly, Danton grabbed Jiktin and hide behind a column by the tunnel to the exit.'

also a little description about the dragon might add a more menacing atmosphere

'You're welcome by the way. If I hadn't dragged you out of that cave, you'd probably be in that things stomach right now!'

'You're welcome by the way. If I hadn't dragged you out of that cave, you'd probably be in that thing's stomach right now!'

'Well," Jiktin started, "I once found about 100 bits in a dresser drawer in a Red Dragons belly"

'Well," Jiktin started, "I once found about 100 bits in a dresser drawer in a red Dragon's belly"

"Once Jiktin stopped, Danton had to take a moment to gather his thoughts. It the rain had now turn into a down pour. Danton noticed Jiktin was in no condition to fly after that lightning strike.'

'Once Jiktin stopped, Danton had to take a moment to gather his thoughts by the time he was done the rain had now turned into a down pour. Danton noticed Jiktin was in no condition to fly after that lightning strike.'

'Danton then show Jiktin to his home. It was once a library wing but it is mostly inaccessible. The only entrance is through a cave hidden behind a mound of white rock slabs.'

'Danton then led/showed (personally though I prefer led) Jiktin to his home. It was once a library wing but it is mostly inaccessible. The only entrance is through a cave hidden behind a mound of white rock slabs.'

Awesome I found some time to quickly proof read it ... so yeah great job by the way can't wait to see some more.

Also under chapter 3 why does it say

#TEXT_PLACEHOLDER

Sorry I won't be able to read chapter 2 for the next couple of days (school exams ) but I'll try to find some time but if the previous ones are to go by chapter two will be fantastic. So if I do have time to read over it, my proof reading might be a bit rushed, this is just a bit of a warning so yeah, can't wait to read it though

After last nights close shave with insanity and consequent feinting, Orange decided to steer clear of the 'festivities' tonight by walking around the main festival grounds, on the border of Everfree forest. Orange had never been one for Nightmare Night or any other holiday that involved a Colt dressed in red delivering presents to all the foals in one night or the Feather Fairy giving young pegasi bits for molted feathers. Growing up in a utilitarian family in Stalliongrad allowed him to grow an appreciation for hard work not useless festivities yet Orange found himself in a town obsessed with his most despised holiday, he tried to escape it in Stalliongrad by visiting some old family friends in a 'small, quiet' town here but was roped into participating. Tonight though Orange was focused on staying away from any Nightmare obsessed ponies by taking a nice leisurely walk on the edge of town.

As Orange walked under the wonderful night sky marveling at all the stars and he couldn't help but think back to his 'episode' last night 'do I really feint when I get terrified? I can't believe that I thought there were such things as banana poniacs that turn people into bananas and also why, when I woke up I had two pieces of candy under my wing? I guess I'll never know' ​his thoughts were cut short when he spotted a large ominous figure in the distance "nope, not going that way" Orange stated nonchalantly, "I can see where this is going", Orange started to turn away and walk the way he came in an effort to escape the weirdness this town seems to emanate. *rustle* Orange turned back to look for the source of the noise, all he could see was the same ominous figure, same ominous bushes and same ominous trees 'huh? Probably just the wind' *rustle* 'yeah the wind just blowing against some trees or something' *rustle, rustle* 'I think ... nah what am I thinking of, of course it's just the wind, not some crazed poniac wanting to turn me into a banana, or two crazed poniac wanting to turn me into a banana or worse, oh Celestia'. Orange could see the darkness start to cloud his vision "No, no, no ... that's preposterous, keep yourself together I'll go there and prove to myself that there is no such thing as a banana poniac" Orange muttered clearing the darkness from his vision.

Much to his relief as he started to make his way closer to the figure it turned out to be a statue of Nightmare Moon the long defeated princess of fear 'see, I'm right' he thought to himself, out of curiosity Orange started to read the plaque:

You dare to seek out Nightmare Moon? Then prepare to meet your doom!

For foals she finds a special treat- unless you leave her something sweet!

'What a feather-brained idea offering candy so the Boogeymare won't get you, this is quite possibly the weirdest thing yet, who would fall for such a thing' Orange turned away to leave and to continue on his walk but froze in his hoofs as a loud cackling laugh screeched through the air. Orange turned around but saw nothing, "I know colt-fu!" Orange yelled/whimpered, his voice filled with an obvious lack of confidence. 'It's probably just a trick, but ... I might want to hide in these bushes just to be sure', Orange darted towards some nearby bushes leaving behind an Colt shaped dust cloud in his wake. Orange leapt into the bushes preparing for a long night. If one to look around the statue all would be normal, except for the obvious shaking and whimpering bush. Orange continued to contemplate the worse case senario (most of which involved banana wielding poniacs) but his thoughts were cut shot by the distinct sound of hoofsteps, Orange couldn't stop shaking and all his attempts only made the bush rustle more. The hoofsteps drew closer and closer ...

The moon glowed silver

With one blue speck on top it

The Princess of night

People usually say you can passion is like a fire so you love FiM like fire. Also welcome to Canterlot, I hope you have as much fun as I do here
