A/N: Yeah I know that Twilight and Spike weren't in the rewritten first chapter, but I wanted to focus on Sunrise, Timon, Pumbaa, and Discord. So, they will be in this chapter, that I can promise, but they aren't going to be primary characters like in the actual episode, more like secondary characters.

(Chapter 2: Nightmare Fun Right?)

Meanwhile at the library, Spike was already in his dragon costume, and he was pacing in the main library, waiting for Twilight Sparkle.

"Ugh, come on, Twilight," he complained, wondering why it always took female ponies so long to get ready. "We're gonna be late for the Nightmare Night Festival." He blinked when the purple unicorn came down the stairs, wearing a wizard hat covered with gold stars and gold bells, a blue cloak covered with gold stars, gold moons, and gold bells, and a fake long grey beard. "Huh? Are you that one kooky grandpa from Ponyville Retirement Village?" he asked when she reached him.

"I'm Star Swirl the Bearded!" Twilight Sparkle corrected the baby dragon, who gave her a blank look. "Father of the amniomorphic spell? Did you even read that book I gave you about obscure unicorn history?" she asked, annoyed.

"Uh…" said Spike when there was a knowing. "That sounds important. He hurried to the door and opened it, yelping a little when he saw the three fillies wearing costumes and Granny Smith was with them.

"Nightmare Night! What a fright!" the fillies chanted happily. "Give us something sweet to bite!"

While the baby dragon was relieved, Twilight Sparkle joined him and smiled at the fillies. "Hi, everypony," she greeted them. "Great costumes. Happy Nightmare Night, Granny Smith."

"I should have been asleep five hours ago," Granny Smith complained a little, regretting that she'd agreed to look after the fillies instead of manning the Apple Maze.

While the purple unicorn magically put candy in the bags of the three fillies, Pipsqueak, who was dressed as a pirate, squeezed through them and toppled over a little. "Pipsqueak the pirate, at your service," he said, getting up and saluting. "It's my very first Nightmare Night," he added with clear excitement.

"Since you moved here from Trottingham?" Twilight Sparkle asked with a smile since Pipsqueak and his family had moved to Ponyville last year.

Pipsqueak shook his head happily. "No, my very first Nightmare Night ever!" he declared since he was finally old enough.

Just then, Pinkie Pie ran up, dressed like a chicken and she even let out a chicken squawk. "Enough chitchat!" she announced. "Time is candy!"

"Pinkie Pie, aren't you a little old for this?" the purple unicorn asked skeptically.

"Too old for free candy?" the pink pony repeated and let out another chicken squawk. "Never."

Deciding to humor her crazy friend, Twilight Sparkle gave her a piece of candy and then posed, the bells jingling. "Do you like it?" she asked, hoping that at least one pony would recognize her costume.

"Yeah! Great costume, Twilight!" said Pinkie Pie, swiping more candy from the bowl that Spike was holding like a chicken pecking at corn. "You make a fantastic weirdo clown!" and she zoomed off to get more candy.

"A clown?" the purple unicorn repeated, offended. "Look at the borders on these robes. These are hoof-stitched!" she shouted after her retreating friend.

"It's a great costume!" Spike agreed, putting away the bowl as they left the library. "Huh! Grandpa!" he added in a teasing manner.

Twilight Sparkle growled in annoyance that no pony was recognizing the wizard she was dressed as and followed after the baby dragon.

(A/N: I'm cutting out Twilight's lecture to keep the story moving.)

Twilight Sparkle finished her lecture about Star Swirl the Bearded to Spike when she realized that they were at the festival.

"Hey look, we're here already!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed and looked at him. "Should we get something to eat?" she asked and then sighed when Spike burped and saw that he was already carrying candy. She then saw her twin sister and greeted her. "Hey, Sunny, Happy Nightmare Night, nice Mythic Diadem costume," she complimented.

"Thanks, Twi, and Happy Nightmare Night," said Sunrise Blossom, smiling. "You did a great job on your Star Swirl the Bearded costume," she complimented.

"Thanks," said the purple unicorn, grateful that her sister recognized her costume at least, and she blinked when the meerkat and the warthog joined them, and they were both wearing costumes: Timon was wearing a Prince John outfit with a bag full of gold bits and Pumbaa was dressed as ballet dancer in a pink tutu. "Timon? Pumbaa? What are you...GAAAAAH!"

(A/N: Yep. She just got pounced by a certain tiger from another Disney series who is wearing a skeleton costume for the festival. The same skeleton costume he wore in that Halloween Special ''Winnie the Pooh: Boo to You!'' Who is this strange creature who has just pounced on Twilight?)

"Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Hello! I'm Tigger!" said 'Tigger' with a big cheerful smile and Spike was staring with a startled expression at the stripped tiger that was dressed like a skeleton.

Twilight Sparkle was also staring at the strange creature that was sitting on her chest. "What the? What's the big idea jumping on me like that?" she demanded. "You scared me!"

"Well, sure I did," Tigger agreed, hopping off of her and balancing on the tip of his tail. "Everyone's scared of Tiggers. And judging by what Halloween or Nightmare Night or whatever you blokes call it is about, it isn't just me you'll be scared of. Anyway, pleased to meet ya! Name's Tigger! T I Double G R! That spells Tigger!"

Twilight Sparkle blinked, since that was oddly familiar. "Hmm. Well, you look oddly familiar to a character who just so happens to go by the same name from a collection of Disney movies I can never remember the name of from mine and Sunrise's childhood," she recalled, getting back up. "But just to be absolutely certain if you are who I think you are, I'll just quickly ask, what is a Tigger?"

"Well, hoo-hoo," said 'Tigger' and then he whispered to Sunrise, Timon and Pumbaa, and they were fighting back giggles. "She probably saw this coming a mile off. Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"

Twilight Sparkle realized what she just said and sighed. "I had to ask, didn't I?"

Sunrise Blossom giggled at her twin's goof. "Yeah, you did have to ask that question, Twi."

Beaming, 'Tigger' started bouncing around and singing. "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers, is Tiggers are wonderful things! They're tops are made outta rubber, they're bottoms are made outta springs! They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun! But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm the only one! Iiiiiiiiiii'm the only one!" And he did a mock growl.

"Yep. I thought you looked strangely familiar," said Twilight Sparkle, who was certain that song was going to be stuck in her head now, and she turned to her twin. "Uh Sunrise? Can I speak to you in private for a quick minute please? Here, you three! Help yourselves!" She magically threw Timon, Pumbaa and ''Tigger'' some candy from Spike's candy bag, and pulled her sister aside. "Sunny, what are Timon, Pumbaa and Tigger doing here? When did they show up?" she questioned.

Sunrise Blossom chuckled and explained about their unexpected arrival in the Apothecary. And you can be thankful that she didn't give away to Twilight that ''Tigger'' was actually Discord transformed into Tigger's body and skeleton costume or that they set him free from his stone prison and took him back to the jungle to be reformed a season early. "I think poor Rosemary may have lost at least one of her nine lives. But not to worry, she's got eight more. She'll be fine. So, has anypony identified your costume yet?" she asked, changing the subject.

Twilight Sparkle shook her head sourly. "Nope. So far, I've been called nothing but a clown and a grandpa."

"Well in some respects sister, they're kinda right to call you grandpa," Sunrise Blossom joked. "I mean, with a beard like that, Starswirl must have been very elderly!"

Twilight Sparkle shot her twin a look. "Hey! Who's side are you on, Sunny?"

"Aw relax, Twi!" Sunrise Blossom said reassuringly with a smile. "I'm only fooling ya!"

"Yeah," Twilight Sparkle said sarcastically. "That was so funny that I forgot to laugh. Anyway, has anypony identified your costume yet?"

Sunrise Blossom shook her head, not admitting that only Discord had recognized her outfit. "No. I've been called a gypsy mostly, but unlike you, Ms. Complains About Not Being Recognized A Lot, I don't mind in the slightest," she added. "I figured that would happen."

Twilight Sparkle rolled her eyes. "Let's just get going already."

Just then, Pinkie Pie raced up with the fillies, and her bag was bugling with candy. "Twilight, Sunrise! Look at our haul!" she exclaimed showing the bag and greeted the meerkat, the warthog, and 'Tigger', who she thought looked neat in his skeleton costume, and as they proceeded to introduce themselves to the fillies while she pecked at her candy a bit before informing the twins of where they'd gone to get candy. "Ah! Can you believe it? Oh, nice gypsy costume, Sunrise. And then, we went to Cheerilee's house, and got a bunch more goodies. Didn't we, Pip?"

"Sure did!" Pipsqueak confirmed happily. Unknown to any of them, Rainbow Dash was sneaking around, dressed as a fictional Shadowbolt from their time going up against Nightmare Moon, and she positioned a black cloud near the group.

"And then, we had to stop and wait for Granny Smith, and-" the pink pony was saying when there was a lightning zap and a loud clap of thunder that caused her to jump in the air, letting out a chicken squawk, and she went running with the scared fillies, screaming.

Rainbow Dash was laughing maniacally while Sunrise Blossom went to retrieve Timon and Pumbaa from the trashcan they'd leapt into out of fear, 'Tigger' had launched himself into the air and was clinging to a flagpole, and Twilight Sparkle scowled up at the blue pegasus. "Rainbow Dash, that wasn't very nice," she scolded.

"Lighten up, old-timer," said Rainbow Dash with a grin. "This is the best night of the year for pranks!"

"Look what you did to Spike!" the purple unicorn exclaimed, nodding to Spike, who was flat on his back, choking on candy until the orange unicorn came to his aid while 'Trigger' returned to the ground and, with the meerkat and the warthog, shot angry looks at the blue pegasus while they gathered up the fallen candy again.

Rainbow Dash shrugged off the angry looks. "It's all in good fun," she said cheerfully and spotted another group of ponies. "Oh! Oh! There's another group over there!" Grabbing the cloud, she zoomed off across town. Positioning the cloud, she jumped on it, causing a thunder and lightning show that left the ponies screaming and fleeing for their lives while she was laughing maniacally once again.

Once she was certain that Spike was going to be ok, Twilight Sparkle put him on her back, and then she went after the blue pegasus to give her a stern lecture, leaving Sunrise Blossom with 'Tigger', Timon, and Pumbaa.

"One of these days," Sunrise Blossom grumbled. "Rainbow's pranks are gonna backfire on her."

'Tigger' snickered and almost went back to his true voice. "Oh lighten up, Sunny. Have you forgotton? Pranks are what's Halloweening/Nightmare Nighting's all about, remember? Besides," he switched back to his normal Discord voice, "knowing that those ponies were also against my chaos and assumed I was evil, I think they deserved it."

"Well, I suppose you may be right there," Sunrise Blossom admitted. "But..."

'Tigger' snapped his paw thumbs and his Tigger head changed into a Discord head. "Honestly Sunrise, when you said i was gonna join you, Timon and Pumbaa this Nightmare Night, you never said the ponies who hated me just for being myself and turned me to stone were gonna be taking part in it too," he pointed out. "I swear, I'll never forgive them for that."

"I know," the orange unicorn agreed. "Since setting you free and getting to know you better and finding out why you turned evil, I'll never forgive my sister and her friends for turning you to stone either. But please, try to be polite to them. I know it may be tricky for you to do so, but we don't want everypony to realize your not really Tigger and blow your cover."

"Oh well," Discord sighed and restored his 'Tigger' head and skeleton mask. "I'll try. But that of course doesn't mean I still can't do some harmless pranks like Rainbow just did to get back at them for what they did to me."

Sunrise Blossom chuckled. "Well, if Rainbow's doing it, go on then. Knock yourself out, Discord."

Beaming, 'Tigger' bounced off to have some fun pranking a certain blue pegasus without giving himself away.

"Hey sister!" Twilight Sparkle called out to her twin, having given up in trying to find Rainbow Dash to lecture her. "What's keeping the four of you over there?"

"Coming!" Sunrise Blossom called back and hurried after her twin with Timon and Pumbaa carrying the candy in a large bag she magically provided.
