"Oh, uh- h-hi again." Schwambart blushes as his hiccup reveals
him, and harder as he's dragged by the hoof back to join the
others. He stays silent as the group moves aside from a few
hiccups from time to time. He's entirely unimpressed by the
first two contenders' shots at the game, but purposely doesn't
take the chance when Silver passes it on to the next. Moonlight,
though, he can tell knows what she's doing before she fires the
shot. Well of course she's going to hit it. That's an easy shot,
though I'm not too familiar with the aerodynamics of
plunger-head arrows.
His expectations are met, and he gives a light clap. Should he
say something, too? He is more calmed down after enough time
with the spotlight off of him. Okay, I'll give you one sentence.
If you mess it up, you don't get to talk for the rest of the
night. "Nice shot, L-" That's not her name! "N-nice shot,
Moonlight," he says, getting it right this time. Good. Even
breaths.

Nivalia's eyes sparkle with pure joy as she watches Moonlight
win the bat for her. When is offered, she doesn't even grab it
at first. Instead, she gives Moonlight a tight embrace before
taking the stuffed animal, "Thank you so much Moonlight! You're
such a good friend!" Moonlight would not only feel warmth from
her own deeds, but the sensation of butterflies in her stomach
as the pure essence of love flows from the changeling through
her. It would subside as she lets go and approaches the others.
"Sage, thanks so much for giving it your best!" Silver would
feel the same sensation as well as Nivalia hugs her too. "And
one for Schwambart, because everypony gets one." The stallion as
well would have that tingling sensation in his stomach until
Nivalia lets go. The 'earth pony' brushes her bangs away from
her eyes and lifts the prize into the air. "Oh, you're so
adorable! I shall name him... Mark." She opens up one of her
bags and stuffs him in, his upper half still showing.

Sage's jaw dropped when Moonlight hit the bulls-eye on the the
first shot. "Indeed!" She called out after Shwambart's
compliment, thoroughly impressed.
She giggled as Nivalia hugged her. "It was an embarassing best,
but no problem!" Her smile fell slightly as she felt the
sensation of butterflies in her stomach. How odd... She wasn't
nervous... But she quickly decided to ignore it, and her smile
returned full-force. She rolled her eyes playfully. "Mark?
That's not very threatening for a scary bat." She reflected on
her own words, tapping her hoof against her chin. "Though with
that bow tie, he's more dapper than threatening! So I like it,"
she decided.

Moonlight blushed at the compliments Schwambart and Sage gave
her, even more so when Nivalia embraced her with a hug.
Moonlight smiled and hugged back, This feels a little
weird...but a good weird. Moonlight shook her head and sighed,
"I'm glad you like it, uh...Mark that is. Mark is a good name."
She looked around at the three others and smiled, she was
starting to feel more relaxed and a little less nervous than
before.

Schwambart was finally starting to feel almost normal before
Nivalia had to hug him. Of course she had to, bringing back all
the butterflies he'd managed to expel...with interest. Well,
there's only one cure for those he knows of, which means he's
got to get up in the air. He doesn't want to seem rude, though,
so...
He checks his watch in an obvious manner. Oh, right, it was
getting kind of late anyway. "I, uh...A-as m-much as I would
lo-" Don't use that word. "I'd l-like to stay, I, uh...I've got
an e-early morning tom-morrow, uh..." This was totally sounding
like an excuse, regardless of how true it is. "So, uh...I should
be getting...home soon..."

"Yea, Mark is gonna be my bat bro!" Nivalia gleefully exclaims
as she pets its ears. Her own slightly droop down as she notices
Schwambart making his exit. "Aw, you gotta go Schwam? I'm sorry
to hear that. I..." The mare herself let's out a small yawn.
Whether Nivalia wanted to admit, she's been awake since early
morning herself. Despite the excitement, her body was starting
to ache for bed. "Ugh, I should probably should hit the hay. I
just want to do one more thing..."
She looks over to the small memorial in the far corner of the
Plaza. Although not the densest part off the festival, there's
still those around in remembrance. One of her ears floop up as
she turns back to Schwambart, "Can you stay just a little
longer? It won't take long; then I'll call it a night." Although
her words were glazed with honey, they had a genuine sincerity
to them.
The mare turns back to Moonlight and Sage, ears still uneven.
"Would you two be able to join me too?" The exuberance in her
mood has calmed down at this point, the changeling's exhaustion
making her relaxed.

Sage followed Nivalia's gaze to the memorial. "Sure! I'm a bit
of an night owl anyway." Her head tilted. "So what is it for? In
fact, what is this whole festival for? I don't think I ever
asked." She suddenly giggled. "Or do you Canterlot ponies just
party whenever you want to?"

Moonlight cast her gaze to Nivalia, "Uh, I mean I don't need
that much convincing considering I'm not even sure how to get
home at this point. So I'm up for staying out a bit longer."
Moonlight smiled at her, unwilling to leave her new friends just
yet. She turned towards Schwambart who was making an obvious
excuse to leave, which made her a bit sad. She trotted towards
him also hoping to change his decision, "Please don't go..."
Moonlight uttered nervously. "Just stay a bit longer." She
smiled at him, hopefully giving him a reason to not be as
nervous.

Schwam stops turning to leave, looking towards the memorial.
Great. Something serious. He chews on the inside of his cheek,
considering. Well, if it's short. He smiles back at Moonlight
and replies with, "A-alright. F-for a little b-bit..." There are
those butterflies again...

Nivalia smiled as she finds Schwambart deciding to stay just a
little longer. "Yay!" She does calm down when looking over to
Sage, "Ponies in Canterlot well look for any excuse to party.
But I think this festival is for remembrance." She starts her
way over to the small memorial. An elderly stallion sits behind
a small booth collecting donations. "It's in regards to the
changeling attack that happened here in Canterlot some time
ago."
Approaching the stallion, she gives him a generous amount of
bits before trotting over to the monument. "The anniversary of
it happening, more ponies tend to celebrate the wedding. This is
on a separate day for those who experienced loss instead of
joy."
A small colt runs over to the table, appearing to be related to
the older stallion, "Grandpa, I got the incenses! Sorry it took
so long. Some of the ones I got broke and powder is on the
bottom of the box.
"No worries, little one, we'll make due. Just set them by the
front next to that mare over there and I'll get them lit up.
These are rather special." He leans in closer to the colt and
whispers, "I got this from a specialty store. Suppose to repel
those buggers if any come around. Don't need their kind snooping
about. Now go set those up."
"Will do grandad," the colt replies as he trots over to place
the incense. He loses his footing though and falls forward.
Nivalia looks over to the accident and hurries over. Tucking her
dress in, she starts to assist the filly with putting the items
back in the box. "Easy there little one. Are you alright?" The
pony nods, but doesn't notice the powder on his nose. A pause
and sneeze later, and Nivalia is engulfed in the powder rating
in the bottom of the box. She pushes herself back and vehemently
coughs, her eyes watering as she feels a burning sensation
throughout her whole body. "What? What is this stuff!? It-
Ahhnn! It burns!" She falls back, the entire contents of her
bags spilling out. Her cries of pain draws everyone's attention.
Trying to get up, her disguise begins to flicker and fade. In
moments she is engulfed in green flame before revealing the
changeling underneath.
Gasps of shock and terror resonate around her as Nivalia's
senses start to numb. Everything becomes a blur as she looks
around, tongue flicking, fangs shining, and wings fluttering in
confusion.
