Title: Chapter 2Cipher walked through a strange forest. The trees looked as though they could jump out at any moment, so he made sure to be extremely quiet while traversing the strange woods. The fog messed with his vision, making it harder to see. “Where am I?” he asked aloud, looking around. An unknown bird’s call answered him, and he turned around. Looking up at the tree, he saw a strange bird perched on a branch. Or, perhaps, the same bird he saw a couple days ago. The raven sat there, staring at him, its eyes now glowing a bright yellow, as opposed to when its eyes were normal. It cawed at him again, flying off the branch and onto the ground in front of him. It hopped a couple steps towards him before standing still. The dark liquid still dripped off its body, with the droplets being absorbed into the ground. It opened its beak again, as if to speak. “Good morning!” He blinked. Why did it speak in Twilight’s voice? Maybe- “Cipher! Wake up!” The grey unicorn groaned, turning in the bed with his back towards the foal who was at the side of it, the dream he was having drifting away from memory. “Five more minutes,” he pleaded, half asleep. There was no verbal response, and the room was quiet once more. Finally, he thought. Peace and qui- Until the thought was interrupted by Twilight Sparkle jumping on the bed. “Wake up! Cadance is coming over!” “Okay, okay! I’m up,” he hastily told her as he sat up. Rubbing his eyes, he asked, “Wait, who’s Cadance?” The purple unicorn paused in her jumping and audibly gasped, confusing Cipher. “You don’t know who Cadance is?” He shook his head, and the bouncing resumed, “She’s the greatest foal-sitter in the history of foal-sitters!” “Oh,” he replied. “What’s a foal-sitter?” “Foal-sitters watch after colts and foals when their parents are away!” “So a caretaker?” “Yup!” “Huh,” he said, thinking. Well, if Twilight trusts this Cadance, maybe I can, too. “Well, since Cadance sounds nice, judging on your reaction, I’ll go ahead and get ready.” Of course, he wasn’t going to admit to anyone he was nervous, seeing he was going to meet someone new. Following Twilight out of the room, a lovely aroma filled the air. “Pancakes?” he asked, and Twilight nodded, “We made a whooole bunch!” Cipher absolutely loved pancakes. There was just something about them that made him happy, regardless of the day he was having. He bounced down the stairs haphazardly, nearly tripping when he landed on the floor. He rushed to the table, sitting down hastily. “Someone’s excited,” Night Light remarked. Cipher replied, beaming, “I’d never turn down pancakes!” The stallion chuckled, levitating a plate of pancakes to the table with his magic. “I’m assuming Twilight already told you about the foal-sitter?” he asked. The colt paused, then nodded nervously. “I know she said Cadance was the greatest foal-sitter, but…” “But what?” “Never mind,” he said. “It’s nothing.” He didn’t need to look at the stallion to know that he might’ve been concerned about the statement, but he didn’t seem to ask about it, and he was thankful for it. Soon, the rest of the family joined the table, and the pancakes were served. Cipher took a large bite out of his pancakes, scarfing it down near-instantly. “Cipher, slow down! Enjoy your breakfast.” He swallowed his bite, protesting, “But I’m hungry!” Then, he took another large bite, cheeks puffed like a chipmunk. This made the family chuckle, making Cipher feel a little embarrassed. He quickly chewed the bite before swallowing, then took a drink of the orange juice to wash it down. “Seriously, though. These pancakes are the best!” Velvet smiled, “Why, thank you, Cipher! I’m glad you enjoy them.” Soon, everyone had finished their breakfast, and Twilight and Cipher sat in one room, waiting for Cadance. Shining Armor had already left for school, and Twilight’s parents were patiently waiting with them. “What’s Cadance like?” he asked Twilight. The filly beamed, “She’s kind, caring, and pretty!” He blinked, “So… pretty much an alright pony?” Before he got an answer, there was a knock on the door, and he nearly jumped. “Oh! That must be her,” Velvet said, trotting to the door. She opened it, sounding happy, “Cadance! Glad you could make it!” “Me too! I wouldn’t want to miss out on foal-sitting my favorite filly!” Twilight immediately bounced off her seat and ran to the door, shouting, “Cadance!” Cadance herself was still hidden by the door, so Cipher had to crane his neck to see. All he saw through the window was pink. She moved, and all he saw was Twilight doing a strange dance. “Sunshine, sunshine. Ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!” “What was that?” he asked, finding it bizarre. Twilight stood up, then gestured for Cadance to follow. “C’mon!” she said. “I want you to meet my new friend!” That was when he saw Cadance for himself. Twilight didn’t lie when she said she was pretty. Of course, pretty wasn’t the right word. She had a pink coat of fur, and her mane and tail were a mix of violet, rose, and gold. As for her cutie mark, it was a blue, crystal heart surrounded by a golden pattern. What confused him were the additions of wings and a horn. Was she a unicorn? Was she a pegasus? When she spotted him, she smiled, “Oh, hello! You must be Cipher Ravenlight. I’m Cadance.” “H-hi,” he stammered. Looking at her again, her wings and horn, he didn’t want to be rude, but… “Wh-what are you?” The room fell quiet. I asked the wrong question, didn’t I? He asked silently. It’s fine, don’t worry, the voice replied. Cadance walked over to him, and he felt himself begin to tremble slightly. “You’ve never seen an alicorn?” she asked. He shook his head, “None that I can remember.” He expected her to get mad at her. He had no idea why she would be mad at him, considering he was still learning. “It’s alright. Mrs. Sparkle told me a little about you.” “Really?” he asked, dumbfounded. “Really.” Velvet seemed to smile at the interaction, before heading towards the door, “Well, we’re off. Have fun, you three! Don’t cause any trouble!” “We won’t!” all three of them chimed, and with that, the door closed, and the trio were left to their own devices. “So, what do we want to do first?” Twilight ran off to her room, leaving the two alone. A few moments later, she came back with crayons and at least three pieces of paper, “Drawing!” Well, that could be fun. So, the three had sat at the table, papers and crayons scattered across the table, with Twilight already drawing, using her magic to hold the crayon. Cipher stared at his piece of paper, holding his crayon with his own magic. There were so many things he could draw, and yet he couldn’t choose. Clouds! No, Twilight and her family! No, no, then that would exclude me. Uh… “Having trouble, Cipher?” He looked up at Cadance, nodding his head. “I don’t know what to draw. There’s so much I want to draw!” Cipher huffed, clearly stuck. This was supposed to be fun, and yet, it was starting to feel frustrating. Cadance shared a look with Twilight, “Well, how about we start with something that sticks out to you?” “Sticks out?” “Yes. Sometimes there’s a specific object or place that you have a sort of connection with.” Blinking, he looked back at the paper, “Well, I kinda like nighttime. The stars and moon are pretty.” Quickly snagging a navy blue crayon and a yellow crayon, he began drawing in the paper. It wasn’t going to be perfect, he knew that much, but at least he finally had somewhere to start. And by the time he was done, he held the drawing out, feeling proud. At the same time, Twilight had revealed her drawing; Ms. Smarty Pants. The drawings had earned them a smile from Cadance, who was clapping her hooves. “Both of your drawings are amazing,” she complimented them both. “Why don’t we hold onto them so we can show your parents when they come back?” Eagerly, the two nodded, and Cadance took the drawings and placed them on the kitchen counter. When she came back, she smiled, “Why don’t we go get some ice cream?” Twilight’s reaction was immediate, and she started bouncing around, chanting, “Ice cream!” Cipher, however, looked confused, “Ice cream?” It was the same as when Twilight woke him up. She gasped as she dropped everything that she was doing, “You’ve never had ice cream!?” He shook his head, answering, “I don’t think I have.” And that was how he suddenly found himself in an ice cream parlor, looking at all of the flavors of ice cream that were displayed in front of him. “Which one would you like?” Cadance asked him, and he shrugged. They all looked good, and he just couldn’t choose. He couldn’t just have a scoop of every flavor, he’d get a stomach ache. Peanut butter sounded nice, but so did cookie dough. Maybe he could try chocolate? “There’s too many choices,” he pouted in frustration. His first time trying ice cream, and he couldn’t choose a single flavor. He felt a hoof gently lay on his shoulder, and he looked back up at Cadance. “How about we do it this way?” she offered, and, with her magic, manifested some sort of wheel that one would find on a gameshow of some sort, or a carnival. On the ends, the various flavors of ice cream that the shop carried had been scribbled on. Cipher couldn’t help but feel excited again, “Why didn’t I think of that?” He watched as Cadance spun the wheel, the names blurring and the colors blending. He almost felt mesmerized by it, but it eventually began losing its speed and slowing down. Then, it finally came to a stop, and he could see the chosen flavor. “Strawberry?” he asked, glancing back at the ice cream display. “Yeah, that sounds good!” The colt turned to the pony running the parlor, a brown and white pinto unicorn with a curly brown and white mane and tail. Her cutie mark looked like an ice cream cone, the ice cream having two scoops; one brown and one white, with the brown scoop on the bottom, and the white on top, covered in a dark brown liquid, and with a cherry on top. “Excuse me, may I have a scoop of strawberry, please?” The unicorn nodded with a smile, “Of course!” In an instant, she was already levitating a cone and an ice cream scoop close to the display, using the utensil to get a scoop of the strawberry ice cream and placing it carefully on the cone. She then levitated it to Cipher with her magic, and he grabbed the ice cream cone with his own magic. “Thank you!” he said, full of delight. He watched as Cadance and Twilight both got their ice cream cones, noticing that they both got the same flavor as him. Cadance gave the unicorn some bits, then, they all walked outside to sit at one of the tables. “Wait,” he asked, confused. “Why did you get the same flavor as me?” “Well, it wouldn’t be fair if we all got different flavors,” Cadance told him. Twilight chipped in, “Yeah! It’s also fun to try something new!” “Really?” Cipher queried, and the two nodded. He smiled, “That’s so nice of you. Thanks.” He felt happy that the two cared for him, but, at the same time, sad. Not because they were helping him, but because he wished his parents, whoever they were, could be with him to enjoy the moment. “Are you okay, Cipher?” He blinked, looking at Cadance, nodding, “Yeah, I’m okay. How do I eat ice cream again?” He would feel a little embarrassed when they chuckled, but nonetheless, they helped. “You lick the ice cream! Just don’t let it melt, otherwise you’ll get messy,” Twilight told him. Cipher stared at his ice cream before taking a careful lick. He wasn’t sure why he was cautious, but he found the caution was unneeded when the flavor exploded in his mouth. It was cold, but sweet nonetheless, and his eyes widened. He took a moment, making sure he savored what little he got, then he went straight to eating the ice cream at a somewhat fast pace. “Cipher, slow down! You’re going to get a-” Cadance suddenly pleaded, but it was too late. His head started to hurt for several seconds, and he nearly dropped his ice cream as he placed a hoof on his forehead. “-brain freeze.” When the pain dissipated, he looked back at his ice cream, unsure. “It’s not going to do it again, is it?” Cadance shook her head, “As long as you don’t eat it all at once.” Reassured, he resumed eating his ice cream, albeit at a slower pace. This time, he didn’t get a brain freeze, and the ice cream didn’t melt. Once it was gone, he copied Cadance and Twilight, eating the cone afterwards. “Well, I think today has been wonderful. We should get you two back home.” They nodded their heads in agreement, hopping off the chairs and following Cadance. “Um, Cadance?” he asked. “How did you get your cutie mark?” “Well, that’s a long story, but I can shorten it. To simply put it, I enjoyed showing love and compassion to everypony and making them happy. Then one day, my cutie mark appeared.” “Whoa, that’s so cool! I wonder when I’ll get my cutie mark.” “Probably soon. Most fillies and colts get theirs around your age. Sometimes sooner, sometimes later.” His eyes widened at the prospect of receiving a cutie mark, “Really?” Cadance nodded, and he started bouncing as they made their way back. Soon they had arrived back to the house, and just in time, as Twilight’s parents were just coming back from their errands. “You’re back!” Twilight exclaimed, and she rushed over to greet them. Cipher almost did the same, but stayed behind. They were her parents, afterall. It was when he felt an encouraging nudge from Cadance that he decided he would run to them, too. “Well, you two look happy. I take it that today went well for you two?” Twilight Velvet asked. The two nodded enthusiastically. “I tried ice cream for the first time, and it was really good!” Cipher said, bouncing in place. Twilight responded, “Yeah, and before that, we made drawings!” Her parents chuckled at the positive energy both of them were radiating, opening the door to let everyone inside. At the end of the day, Cipher forgot about why he was afraid of Cadance. She was the best foalsitter he had ever met, and he would remember her kindness and compassion for the rest of his life.

For context, the item I’m referring to is the Silph Scope. In the Pokemon games, specifically Gen 1, it is a Key Item used to see the Ghost Types in Lavender Tower, allowing you to catch Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar. The encounter rate from a majority of other users’ experiences are a bit low, which is why I am proposing a new item for the Halloween Event Upgrades roster. The Silph Scope on Pokeheroes, once bought, will increase the encounter rate of Retro Gastly, Retro Haunter, and Retro Gengar after every successful Trick-or-Treat. Depending on how much of a boost the encounter rate gets from the item, it will cost 400-2K Halloween Sweets, which should motivate other users to grind for it. You’ll still have to buy it again every year like all the other items, but it should make finding the Retro Gastly line easier, especially if you’re looking for a Shiny. [Read more] |

Character: Alolan Vulpix in Samus Aran's Varia Suit Type of art: Digital Fullbody Payment: PD (if I need to edit and put the amount I'm willing to pay, lmk) Additional info: Feel free to take as much time as possible, even if you have to simplify some details or leave any out. Also linking the Varia Suit wiki page, since there's some different variations to the Varia Suit depending on the game, so whichever suit works best for drawing the Alolan Vulpix in works fine for me :) Lmk if I messed up anywhere in the order form [Read more] |
