*Playing a small piano*
Tis a rainy night my fellow night owls… as the curtains rise while that big white disk in the sky shines down as we prepare to listen in on yet another story told by yours truly.
Tell me all of you boys and girls are you coming back for the stories or are you just here to see little old me, Anasi your host with the most and that is not a boast!
Welcome back to the Golden Playhouse, now let me pour you a glass of my finest, and while I'm at it I'll save you a seat at the bar while you all settle right in for another night of story time with me. The tab's on me so help yourselves to whatever takes your fancy, whatever it takes to cheer you up on this crazy little night.
It's a rainy night outside, oh what a sad fate to befall the Golden Playhouse, I hope we all make it here before the story begins… after all nobody wants to miss a good story before bed time!

*Starts playing a new tune on the piano*
Tell me when to stop playing my numbers boys and girls, I'm here to entertain until we are all settled in and ready to listen to yet another wonderful story.
Oh, you want to hear a background story while we wait… well the customer is always right, now let's see… where do I begin…
Oh I know just where… a question… let's see if this tickles your noggin or so.
Tell me… are any of you mad out there?
I think we all are a little crazy when you think about it… especially if you talk about yourself using words like, We and Ourselves… kind of like the main star of our story today… Princess Luna.
Quite the little number she has doesn't she… if I didn't know any better, I'd have to say she's not exactly right in the head, ya know with the whole royal Canterlot language and all that jazz… who knows what a girl thinks in their heads. But I think after spending a thousand years alone on the moon with nobody to talk to, you go just a little crazy after a while, maybe she went mad and never realized it… who knows.
*Stops playing the piano*
Tonight's story takes place almost three weeks after The Professor showed up in Equestria, and so far The Doctor has not heard another peep from her, and life has returned to almost completely normal for the Hooves family, with Doctor Hooves returning to his job as a Toy Maker, having needed to replace all the lost toys that The Professor destroyed when she threatened little Dink Doo and her sister. However something seems to be happening to our lovey Doctor, he is suffering from nightmares again… rings a bell from our first story does it? Well it gets better, he remembers his nightmares this time around, horrible images of fire, pain, screams and metal. What do these horrible images mean… and what can he possibly do to stop them?
Well that boys and girls… is where our story begins, with The Doctor waking up next to his wife Derpy, and sharing his concerns as he prepares to head to Canterlot to see Princess Luna about a toy that she said is in need of repair. What will happen to our dear hero? Who knows… but I do know that before we start our little tale… I have to get my throat ready for a long crazy night.
So… while we wait, settle in and get a drink… as we prepare to delve into the deepest parts… of Doctor Hooves' mind.
*chuckle* Is madness a state of mind… or is it a condition… you tell me.
