Myst Dream wandered her home with her daughters at her hooves “Momma what’s daddy doing he’s never locked away in his Sanctuary this long” Melody asked

“I’ll say he’s normally all over Equestria with big Sister Akari collecting Spirits” Noelle agreed

Myst Dream looked at her daughters and smiled “now girls Spirits aren’t the only thing your father deals with, he helps out where he can his Recent studies in the Crystal Empire have taught him how to magically make Crystals that can do some amazing things I think this set of Crystals is for a Mortician who runs a nearby Cemetery and Morgue, Miss Dahlia Von Ripper I believe her name is” Myst Dream explained happily as she picked her daughters up and carried them downstairs to their father’s Sanctuary

Alexander Theotanasia was lying under the tree with his wings in front of him with 2 reasonably sized Blood Red crystals floating in front of him “No Girls don’t make any loud noises the Crystals aren’t complete yet” Myst Dream whispered

Alexander shifted his wings and the crystal fell onto his wings “there we go Magical Tuning and colour configuration complete, this will help with Miss Von Ripper's problem” he said kindly

Melody and Noelle looked at their father curiously “What could Miss Dahlia be afraid of that would require such a power pair of Crystals” the twins asked together

Alexander smiled “Miss Dahlia Von Ripper has a fear of Parasitic Creatures called Brain Worms, I’m not all familiar with Parasitic Creatures personally so I’ve tuned this to a ponies Bioelectric Signature they should block the signature making her brain's bioelectric signature undetectable without having a negative effect on Miss Von Ripper herself” Alexander explained happily

Myst Dream looked at the Crystals “you’ll need to craft them into something practical for her line of work Alex maybe a Red Crystal Necklace like a choker or something that won’t come off while she is working” she suggested

“Myst Dream you are a genius” Alexander cheered as he quickly kissed Myst Dream then began remodelling the Crystals “there we go all done” he said happily then placed the Choker in a box then wrote a quick letter explaining the use of the necklace “Girls would you like to help me deliver this, I think seeing such young happy faces will make her day so much brighter so would you like to help me” he asked

Melody and Noelle looked at each other and grinned “OK” they cheered together

An hour passed and the family of four walked onto the Von Ripper Cemetery “Girls your mother and I are going to Visit a friend you take that to Miss Von Ripper and be sure to introduce yourselves and remember your manners” Alex chuckled

Melody and Noelle walked up to the Main House “I hope she is home” Melody said quietly as they reached the front door

Noelle knocked on the front door and a mare Answered it “Wait please don’t close the door we’re down here” Noelle called in an attempt to capture Dahlia’s attention “we are so sorry for barging onto your property like this but our daddy thought you would like it better if we delivered this gift to you instead of himself” Noelle explained happily

Dahlia noticed the Intricate Box the twins were carrying “oh my quoi, est ce petit plus?” she asked kindly

Melody and Noelle tilted their head clearly confused “Pardon?” Melody enquired

“Pardon me little ones I’m sorry” Dahlia gasped as she leaned down to get a closer look at Melody and Noelle “I’m Dahlia Von Ripper it’s nice to meet both of you” she said kindly

“I’m Noelle Theotanasia and this is my twin sister Melody Theotanasia, Daddy tells us you have a fear of something icky called Brain Worms” Noelle said and noticed Dahlia take a couple of steps back

“Please don’t be scared the item in this Box will help keep the nasty things away from you” Melody said calmly then revealed the letter she was carrying “this will explain how it works please excuse us we really must be going” Melody said happily as she and Noelle put the box down

“Good bye Miss Von Ripper it was very nice meeting you” Noelle said happily then she and her sister took off

Dahlia opened the letter “To Miss Dahlia Von Ripper, I apologize for the randomness of this letter and this gift but I thought you might like some relief while you work, this Necklace is designed just for you, the frequency it emits hides your Brain's Bioelectric Signature from outside beings, I’m happy to say this will have no effect on you as I tested it on myself, though if you do start to feel ill from wearing it please return it to me so that I might fix it for you I hope you like it, Yours in good Confidence Alexander Theotanasia” Dahlia read to herself “what a kind thought” she said happily then opened the box to reveal the necklace “C'est pour moi ?” she gasped then saw a P.S on the letter “Forgive me I forgot to mention that this Necklace can even be worn while you work as it won’t come off unless you remove it yourself” she read again “he didn’t have to do something so nice” she said kindly as she looked out over the Cemetery and watched an Alicorn Stallion place a flower on the grave before him then bow his head

How did she know?!

“I-I appreciate th’ consideration, Miss Von Ripper,” Sandy started, lips pursed. “But y’haven’t offended me or nothin’. I said y’hadn’t a thing t’apologize for, an’ I meant every word of it. It’s just that, er, I wasn’t quite, y’see, mindin’ myself an’, y’know, Halloween crossfire with very, um, intentional costume, uh, that is t’say, it was j-just an accident is all.”

He felt the blush creeping up his face.

“B-but that’s a very, very, very, very special case. Most times, you’re wearin’ that favorite sweater of yours. I can’t think how you’d get more conservative than that, unless I made y’wear a trenchcoat too.” He chuckled to himself, then fell silent. “I-I’m not gonna make y’wear a trenchcoat, that’d be all sorts of presumptuous of me.”

“St-stutter? Me?! B-but I feel f-f-fine-”

Sandy glanced down at his treacherous, quivering mouth. “Oh. Huh.”
