(the opening theme song)
in the Golden Oak Library we see Spike paces back and forth impatiently by the staircase wearing a dragon costume.
"Ugh, come on, Twilight. We're gonna be late for the Nightmare Night festival." Spike urged impatiently. "I'm coming!"Twilight Sparkle come down the stairs in her costume on was wearing a wizards outfit. The hat and cape had bells on the rims, it was night blue with stars and moons on it, and had a beard. This made Spike confused at Twilight's costume.
"Are you... that... one kooky grandpa from Ponyville Retirement Village?" Spike asked Twilight confusingly. "I'm Star Swirl the Bearded." Twilight answered but Spike blinked twice in bewilderment.
"Father of the amniomorphic spell?" Twilight said only to get the same response from Spike.
"Did you even read that book I gave you about obscure unicorn history?" Twilight asked suspiciously.
"Uh.. [knocking] That sounds important." Spike said nervously after hearing knocking from the door and rushed towards it spinning Twilight to the point where the cloak tangled them. Spike opens the door and shouts in fear as three little fillies in various costumes such as a stunts pony, ladybug, and a princess start singing. Granny Smith also happens to be with them.
"Nightmare Night! What a fright! Give us something sweet to bite!" the fillies sang and Spike wipes nervous sweat off his head in relief as Twilight walks over to see the three. "Oh. Spike, get the candy." Twilight ordered and he did so while. "Hi, everypony. Great costumes. Happy Nightmare Night, Granny Smith." Twilight greeted.
"I should have been asleep five hours ago." Granny Smith complained as Spike comes with a bowl of candy. "Okay. One for you, one for you, and one for you." Twilight said as her levitates one candy in each of the fillies bags. One little brown and white colt however pops in between two of the fillies in a pirate outfit swinging around his rubber sword. He eventually trips on himself clumsily in the process.
"Pipsqueak the pirate, at your service. It's my very first Nightmare Night." the colt said in a British like accent.
"Since you moved here from Trottingham?" Twilight asked.
"No, my very first Nightmare Night ever!" Pipsqueak corrected. Suddenly Pinkie Pie squawked in a chicken costume which startled the four kids.
"Enough chitchat! Time is candy!" Pinkie said impatiently.
"Pinkie Pie, aren't you a little old for this?" Twilight asked as Pinkie pecks the ground with her beak "Too old for free candy? [chicken squawk] Never." Pinkie growled which made Twilight moan defeatedly and levitates a candy to her bag. Pinkie eyes the candy in delight as it falls in her bag. Twilight then shakes her hat bell in front of Pinkie catching her attention trying to get her to see her costume.
"Do you like it?" Twilight asked untwisting the bell on her hat with a confident pose.
"Yeah! Great costume, Twilight! You make a fantastic weirdo clown!" Pinkie said and instantly ate all of the candy from the bowl Spike was holding and rushed off. "A clown?" Twilight asked in a offended tone. Spike pushes the two out with a sly smile and closes the door with Twilight locking it. "Look at the borders on these robes. These are hoof-stitched!" Twilight whined.
"It's a great costume... grandpa." Spike mocked and Twilight growled irritatedly. suddenly it coming Eddy and others Eds and Vicky with their costumes and bags, Eddy is was zombie Elvis, Ed wear a his Lothar! Viking! Protector of Montezuma. and Edd was a Bubonic Plague, and last Vicky was wearing a bat guard armor. so Spike said to them amazing costumes they are wearing. "wow! nice costumes, you four! huh! Double D! who you must to be."
so Edd with a smile and say. "Guess, Spike. I am less than five micrometers tall, yet I pack a truly terrifying punch." [His friends, his cousin, Twilight and Spike stare at him cluelessly.] "Don't get too close to me, or I may infect you!" [His friends stand there, with no idea what he's talking about.] "In the dark ages, I caused millions of deaths!" [Silence greets this revelation.] he [exasperated] "THE BUBONIC PLAGUE! I'M THE BUBONIC PLAGUE!" Ed said [making an overbite] "Like on your teeth?" Edd said with angry. "NO! NOT PLAQUE! PLAGUE! PLAGUE!"
so Vicky said to him with annoying. "and you are Plague last year, we asked you to pick different ones this year, you decide picked this one, is take us, one you pick a costumes." so Twilight said to Vicky. "oh! I like your costume are you one of Luna's bat guard. so Vicky said to her. "Eeyup!" so Twilight then shakes her hat bell in front of Vicky catching her attention trying to get her to see her costume.
"Do you like it?" Twilight asked. so Vicky said with things. "Hmmm! are you the Star Swirl the Bearded." so Twilight said to her in excited. "finally! you got it be have you know is Star Swirl, Vicky." so Vicky said to her. "I read the obscure unicorn history?, that Spike gift me I in the library." so Twilight turn to Spike with annoying looking across her face. so Spike gift her nervous smile. so Eddy with excited. "hey! coming, we few more houses to go, as we head to the Nightmare Night festival ok! we are excited i this is our first nightmare night be the ever!" so six them started head to more houses to got more candles.
But little do they know a surprise visitor will be coming that will surely scare the fun out of everypony.
The Six arrived in the town streets where everypony in many various of costumes is having fun playing games, having a tour around town in a cart being pulled by Big Macintosh, and dancing.
"Star Swirl the Bearded is only the most important conjurer of the pre-classical era." Twilight said as Big Macintosh passes by in a top hat and cape with his cutie mark on it as a skull with his passengers on his cart. "Hey Big Mac! How so?" Vicky asked.
"He created more than 200 spells! He even has a shelf in the Canterlot library of magic named after him." "Maybe I should start up a pony group to teach ponies about history. I bet everypony would love it! Don't you, guys and Spike?" Spike and other Ed's was munching on a large pile of candy they collected. "I'll love it." Spike said with his mouth full. The Six ponies stopped and Spike crashes into them without looking and drops the candy as he falls putting him into a daze.
"Hey look, we're here already! Should we get something to eat?" Twilight asked and noticed Spike rubbing his stuffed stomach with a satisfied smile. He then belched loudly which made the Six produced disgusted looks.
"Ed's, Vicky and Twilight! Look at our haul! Ah! Can you believe it?" Pinkie squealed with a bag full of candy and started eating it down like a chicken would. From a distance not so far Rainbow Dash hides behind a couple buildings wearing a flight suit similar to the Shadowbolts the first time they discovered the Elements of Harmony and slowly approaches the group with a thunder cloud above them. "And then, we went to Cheerilee's house, and got a bunch more goodies. Didn't we, Pip?" Pinkie asked.
"Sure did!" Pipsqueak said.
"And then, we had to stop and wait for Granny Smith, and-" Pinkie was then caught off as Dash strikes the cloud and produces a loud thunder with the lightning striking Pinkie. She squawks in fear and runs off with the other kids following. Dash began laughing hard with Vicky and Twilight seeing the source of it.
"Rainbow Dash, that wasn't very nice." Twilight scolded.
"Lighten up, old-timer. It's the best night of the year for pranks!" Dash reminded.
"Look what you did to Spike." Twilight pointed at Spike as he chokes on some candy from being startled.
"You okay, buddy?" Vicky asked.
"It's all in good fun. OH OH, there's another group over there!" Dash said excitingly and pushes the cloud to another position. she levitates Spike on her back and walks off to the streets with other Eds and Vicky. they hears another booming thunder which nearly made they drop the candy in fear and realizes it's Dash doing her pranks.
later so they come across Applejack who is wearing a scarecrow costume and is supervising the apple bobbing area where most ponies are getting their chance to bob for an apple. "Happy Nightmare Night, Applejack!" Twilight greeted.
"Howdy Spike, hey Twilight, Eds, sister! Nice costumes." Applejack complimented and Twilight was ready to speak about it.
"Thanks! I'm a dragon." Spike said misunderstanding who Applejack was talking to.
"She means me, Spike." Twilight corrected.
"With that beard, I reckon you're some sorta country music singer." Applejack said fiddling with Twilight's fake beard which made others and Spike chuckle a bit but Twilight groaned in irritation.
"While y'all here, ya' feel like bobbin' for an apple?" Applejack asked.
"I can go for one." Vicky said. However just as one pony was going to dive her head in the bucket of water a gray pegasus wearing bags on her head and hooves pops out and pulls the drain plug thus draining all the water.
"Uh... nevermind." Vicky said and they heard cheering and applauding nearby and see a crowd gather around a stage as the mayor in a clown costume comes on.
"Thank you, everypony, and welcome to the Nightmare Night festival!" the mayor announced and the crowd cheers again as Vicky, Ed's, Twilight, and Spike join.
"Now all the little ponies who have been out collecting sweets should follow our friend Zecora to hear the legend of... Nightmare Moon! [spooky laughter]" the mayor laughed manically.
"Spooky voice might work better if she wasn't dressed like that." Spike whispered.
"I know. A clown doing it. Oooooooooh, boink, boink." Eddy tapped his nose like a clown would and Twilight and others giggles at the boys joke. A green puff of smoke then flashed on the stage and Zecora walks through it with her mohawk mane combed down with spiders on it and wears a witch like outfit.
"Follow me and very soon you'll hear the tale of Nightmare Moon." Zecora instructed with a wave of her black cape walking off the stage with the young ponies including Pinkie following her.
"Maybe we should go along. I like to know what scary tricks they have up their sleeves." Eddy suggested. "Yeah, that sounds like fun." Twilight agreed and the Six followed the group.
They eventually come to a small opening in the Everfree Forest with a statue of Nightmare Moon in a striking pose.
"Listen close my little dears, and I'll tell you where you got your fears of Nightmare Night, so dark and scary. Of Nightmare Moon, who makes you wary." Zecora said after blowing green sparkly powder off her hoof into the air. The dust transformed into a green figment of Nightmare Moon swooping towards the little ponies below. It hits the ground and creates a smoke screen obstructing the children's sight.
"Every year, we put on a disguise, to save ourselves, from her searching eyes." Zecora said as she sneaks behind Pipsqueak and another filly as they see evil eyes and smile behind them. They screamed in fear and rushed away in horror.
"But Nightmare Moon wants just one thing. To gobble up ponies in one quick swing." Zecora said as Pipsqueak crashes into the statue without looking a looks up at the terrifying sight looking down at him. He backs away slowly and ends up bumping into a scared Pinkie which made them scream in horror.
"Hungrily, she soars the sky. If she sees nopony, she passes by. So if she comes and all is clear, Equestria is safe another year!" Zecora narrates as the green image of Nightmare Moon goes to the skies and disappears with sparkling green dust particles falling. "Hungrily, she soars the sky. If she sees nopony, she passes by. So if she comes and all is clear, Equestria is safe another year!" Zecora narrates as the green image of Nightmare Moon goes to the skies and disappears with sparkling green dust particles falling.
"Nice dust effects." Vicky whispered to Twilight.
"Uh, Miss Zecora, if we wear costumes to hide from Nightmare Moon, so she won't gobble us up, how come we still need to give her some of our candy?" Pipsqueak asked.
"A perfect question, my little friend. For Nightmare Moon you must not offend." Zecora blew on another patch of green powder and brings back the image of Nightmare Moon in front of the frightened children.
"Fill up her belly with a treat or two, so she won't return to come eat you!" Zecora shouts as the green Nightmare Moon leaps for the kids with a wide open mouth and razor sharp teeth. It did the same thing as before puffing into a green cloud of smoke. Pinkie was the only one screaming in terror with the horrified kids.
"Everypony! Just dump some candy and get out of here!" Pinkie exclaimed fearfully. Suddenly wind started to pick up and dark clouds were swirling around the full moon.
"This... isn't part of the act, is it?" Vicky asked curiously as her looks up in confusion with the others. Just then a bright flash of light emits from the moon and out comes a spooky looking carriage with a mysterious hooded figure on it being pulled by two bat like pegasi with sharp teeth and bat wings. The group was getting more frightened at what's taking place. The carriage swoops over them and stops in midair as Vicky, Eds, and Twilight could only stare in bewilderment.
"[gasp] It's Nightmare Moon! Run!" Pinkie shouted and the kids along with Zecora started running for Ponyville screaming in horror.
"Wait! But Nightmare Moon is-" Vicky couldn't finish as they were already gone. Lightning strikes from behind with a thunderous boom which only revealed white eyes and a devious looking smile. Back in town the group continue to scream in terror while running through the streets with confused onlookers. They then noticed the clouds darkened the streets and looked up to see the mysterious figure in the carriage. It wasn't long until Vicky, eds, and Twilight joined. The figure floats off the carriage and lands in the middle of the street. It flicked it's hood back as lightning stroke to reveal the one and only princess of the night herself, Princess Luna. However she looked different from the last time Vicky remembered. She was a darker midnight blue and her hair flows just like Princess Celestia's only it represented the night stars. The town residents bowed before her as Vicky, eds and Twilight gaze in surprise.
"Princess Luna!" Twilight gasped.
"What's she doing here?" Vicky asked as her and Twilight approached but was pulled down to the ground by Spike and put his claws on their lips and gestured them to be quiet. Luna's cloak turned into bats and they flew off into the night as she furrows her majestic wings with a rather intimidating expression on her. She approaches a gray witch mare and looks up to see Luna before her. Luna then made a wicked looking smile which scares the pony.
"Citizens of Ponyville!" Luna announced in a loud booming echoing voice with a raised hoof which nearly sends most of the ponies flying as they struggle to hold themselves on the ground.
"We have graced your tiny village with our presence, so that you might behold the real princess of the night! A creature of nightmare is no longer, but instead a pony who desires your love and admiration! Together we shall change this dreadful celebration into a bright and glorious feast!" Luna announces with lighting striking behind her.
"Did you hear that, everypony? Nightmare Moon says she's gonna feast on us all!" Pinkie shouted and she and the kids scream in horror as they run away again, even Ed and Eddy run with them.
"What? No children, no! You no longer have reason to fear us! Screams of delight is what your princess desires, not screams of terror!" Luna said in her normal voice pounding the ground with her hoof making it crack.
"Madame Mayor, the princess of the night hath arrived." Luna said presenting her hoof to the mayor but she still shakes in fear. After seeing this she moves her hoof to the pony next to the mayor but gets the same result.
"What is the matter with you?" Luna asked and moves her hoof to another and another but still receives the same reaction.
"Very well then. Be that way. We won't even bother with the traditional royal farewell." Luna said dejectedly and left. Vicky, Edd and Twilight stood as they watch Luna disappear into the forest.
"Maybe we should go talk to her." Twilight suggested.
"Good idea." Vicky said and they were about to follow as Spike stops them.
"You can't talk to her! She's Nightmare Moon!" Spike warned pulling on Vicky's tail and Twilight's cape. "No, she's not. I saw the Elements of Harmony change her back to good! But it seems like she's having some trouble adjusting after being gone for a thousand years." Twilight pointed out pulling her cape away.
"Don't worry. Everything is under control. We'll be fine." Vicky assured and the three were off leaving a worried Spike behind.
so Vicky, Edd and Twilight wonder through the Everfree Forest to find Luna. "I sense her very close by... There." Vicky pointed to the opening where the Nightmare Moon statue is. Luna lies in front of it with a saddened expression on her remembering the moments of Nightmare Moon. "Princess Luna?" Twilight called which surprised Luna at first but she stood up and changed to her prideful face.
"Hi, we're-" Twilight greeted.
"Star Swirl the Bearded. Commendable costume! Thou even got the bells right..." Luna said to Twilight.
"Thank you, finally! Somepony who gets my costume!" Twilight said in satisfaction.
"Um, I think we're getting off track here." Vicky said and Twilight noticed Luna give a concerned look.
"Uh, we just came to welcome you to our celebration!" Twilight said.
"It was unexpected of you to come. Anyway, our names are-" Edd said.
"Vicky Taylor, Eddward Vincent and Twilight Sparkle." Luna interrupted and began flying as the wind picks up.
"It was thou who unleashed the powers of harmony upon us and took away our dark powers!" Luna said in her big booming voice forcing Vicky, Edd and Twilight a three them steps back. "And that was a good thing, right?" Twilight asked.
"But of course. We could not be happier. Is that not clear?" Luna asked in her normal voice but spoke loudly in the three's faces.
"Well, you kinda sound like you're yelling at us."
"But this is the traditional royal Canterlot voice! It is tradition to speak, using the royal 'we', and [booming voice] to use this much volume when addressing our subjects!" Luna shouted which puts Twilight's hat and beard crooked and fixed them.
"Yeah, she's really stuck in the past. You know, I've done something like that a while back. What is that?" Vicky asked curiously. "It is the voice of an alicorn such as thou and we can do. When we announced news or announcements of some sorts, we use it so every subject can hear." Luna explained.
"You know, that might explain why your appearance was met with... mixed results. I think if you just changed your approach a bit, you might be met with a warmer reception." Twilight suggested.
"Change our approach?" Luna asked in her booming voice.
"Lower the volume...?" Twilight gestured.
"Ohhh. We have been locked away for a thousand years. We are... not sure we can." Luna said. "Then we'll teach you." Edd said and the four knew where to start.
They took Luna to Fluttershy's cottage nearby where they believe her sweet gentle voice can teach Luna how to talk properly.
"Don't worry, Princess. Fluttershy can give you some great pointers. She's delicate and demure with the sweetest little voice." Twilight said and knocks on the door.
"Go away! No candy here! Visitors not welcome on Nightmare Night!" Fluttershy shouted in a fearful tone. "[nervous chuckle] Fluttershy, it's us, Twilight Edd and Vicky!" Twilight called and Fluttershy opened the door slightly to see for herself.
"It is you." Fluttershy said and opens the door completely to meet face to face with Luna.
"Oh, and Nightmare Moon. [gasp] Nightmare Moon?!" Fluttershy shrieks and swiftly slams the door shut. "[nervous laughter] Wait right here." Twilight instructed and she and Vicky went inside, and Edd stay as he wait outside with Luna. as Luna roll her eyes in annoyance. She hears a commotion going on in the cottage while Vicky and Twilight tried to get Fluttershy out. One moment came when a horse whine occurred.
"My tail!" Vicky shouted.
"Fluttershy... you remember Princess Luna?" Twilight asked as she pushes a scared Fluttershy out while Vicky inspects her tail.
"Charmed." Luna said in her echoing voice with her hoof out. Fluttershy got out of Twilight's grasp and rushed back inside only to get pulled by Twilight's magic as she struggles to get free. She was pulled back outside to meet with Luna again.
"Likewise." Fluttershy greeted nervously forcing a weak smile.
"Vicky Taylor, Eddward Vincent and Twilight Sparkle hath spoken of the sweetness of thy voice. We ask, thou teachest to us to speak as thou speakest." Luna ordered still in her booming voice.
"Okay." Fluttershy said quietly while on the ground.
"Shall our lessons begin?"
"Okay."
"Shall we mimic thy voice?"
"Okay."
"How is this?" Luna asked still in her loud voice.
"Perfectlessonover." Fluttershy hurriedly and escaped for her home again but Twilight closes the door and Fluttershy slams right into the door.
"A little quieter, princess." Twilight said.
"[booming voice] How is... [normal, but loud voice] this?" Luna asked. "Better. Right, Fluttershy?" Twilight asked as Fluttershy gets herself out of the door in a daze laugh.
"Yes." Fluttershy agreed nervously before falling to the ground.
"Now a little quieter." Edd instructed.
"How... about... now?" Luna said getting a tad bit quieter.
"Now you're getting it." Twilight supported.
"And... how about now?" Luna spoke in her normal voice.
"Yes! Well done." Twilight congratulated with Luna producing a smile. Fluttershy struggles to get back to her cottage a third time until a blue aurora surrounds her and pulls her to Luna.
"Ah, thank you, dear Fluttershy! Our normal speaking voice shall surely win us the hearts of thy fellow villagers." Luna thanked in a confident tone as she hugs Fluttershy and wobbles her around in a disoriented look.
"Fluttershy! You've gotta hide us! Nightmare Moon is here and- [chicken squawk] She stole Fluttershy's voice so she can't scream when she GOBBLES HER UP!" Pinkie screamed along with the other children as two Eds and they all ran away again in fear.
"[booming voice] Nay, children, wait! [normal voice] I mean... nay, children, wait." Luna called but it was futile as they were already gone. This put on a saddened expression on Luna.
Come on, princess. Time for plan B." Twilight said and the four moved on to town.
While they make their way there the residents continue to have fun as they play games like pumpkin catapult. three were shot into the air and each lands on their target dead on with a small audience cheering.
Dancing also continued with the ponies enjoying themselves. Shortly though the celebration was cut off again as they all see Luna return with Vicky, Edd and Twilight by her sides and cower to the ground by her presence.
"It is of no use, Vicky Taylor, Eddward Vincent and Twilight Sparkle. They have never liked us and they never shall." Luna moped.
"Our friend Applejack is one of the most likeable ponies around. I'm sure she'll have some ideas." Twilight said.
At the bobbing apples area Pipsqueak was going to bob for an apple while balancing on the edge of the barrel but loses his balance and was ready to fall in until Applejack grabbed him in time.
"Whoop. Careful there, partner." Applejack warned and sets him on the ground and runs off. Applejack turns to see Luna in front of her and yelps in surprise and ducks to the ground in fear. Luna looked at Vicky, Edd and Twilight and Vicky rose her hoof in confusion.
"Uh... Applejack, the princess is looking for a little advice on how to fit in around here." Twilight said.
'Fit in'? Really?" Applejack asked in a serious tone which made Twilight growled snarlingly and she got the message.
"I mean... that's easy! All you gotta do is have the right attitude. Loosen up a bit, be positive, play a few games, have some fun." Applejack advised.
"Fun? What is this 'fun' thou speakest of?" Luna asked and the three ponies pointed at a bucket of rubber spiders."Pray tell, what purpose do these serve?" Luna asked.
"Try to land the sp-sp-spiders on the web." a frightened bumblebee mare stammered pointing at a nearby web. Luna grabbed one and concentrates for a short moment before tossing it only to end up bouncing on the ground near the web. Luna looked back in worry.
"You can do it, princess!" Applejack cheered. Luna grabbed one more spider and tosses it this time hitting dead center of the web. A good feeling started to flow in Luna a feeling she had never felt before.
"Ha! Your princess enjoys this 'fun!' In what other ways may we experience it?" Luna asked as ponies gather around with less fear and the three looked at each other happily. They moved on to the pumpkin launchers and Luna loaded her catapult with a pumpkin.
"Fire away, princess!" Twilight shouted and Luna pulled on the catapult and let go sending the pumpkin flying. It smashes into pieces after hitting it's target.
"Ha ha! The fun has been doubled!" Luna exclaimed excitingly and the crowd cheered."Why don't you try bobbin' for apples? We got the best apples in Equestria here, princess." Applejack offered.
"I ask that thou call us... me... Luna, fair Applejack. Hear me, villagers! All of you! Call me Luna!" Luna announced and the crowd began speaking to one another of her name and accepted it excitingly.
"Show me to this bobbing apples." Luna said as Applejack leads them the way. Luna then noticed something shocking as she sees Pipsqueak fall into the water. She leaped as fast as she could to get him out.
"Hey, gals. Anypony seen Pip? We lost him the last time we had to run... [chicken squawk] Aaah! Nightmare Moon is gobbling Pipsqueak! Everypony run!" Pinkie shouted after seeing Luna pull Pipsqueak out of the water and the group screamed as they run away.
"Help! My backside has been gobbled!" Pipsqueak shouted running away from Luna in fear.
'Tis a lie! Thy backside is whole and ungobbled, thou ungrateful whelp!" Luna shouted angrily stomping her hoof to the ground and lightning stroke behind her. The crowd began backing away slowly in fear.
"Fair villagers, please do not back away. Let us join together in... fun!" Luna said with an uneasy smile and looked around to find a solution. She found a stray spider on the ground picked it up and tossed it to the crowd which in turn made them hesitate by the action.
"Not enough fun for you? What say you to this?" Luna casts a spell on the spider and the beam brings the spider to life which made the crowd scream in fear.
"Luna, no!" Vicky shouted as Luna casts the spell on the rest of the spiders in the bowl making them swarm across the streets getting on some poor ponies and forcing them to the ground. A patch comes up to the web and gathers in the middle.
"Huzzah! How many points do I receive?" Luna asked joyfully with the crowd still screaming in fear from the swarm of spiders and run through the streets in horror.
"Do not run away!" Luna ordered as ponies began crashing into things."As your princess we command you!" Luna demanded irritatedly with chaos going around the town as decorations begin to collapse and ponies run aimlessly around and crashing into each other.
"Be still!" Luna ordered in a very deafening booming voice and everypony did so collapsing to the ground in fear.
"Princess, remember! Watch the screaming!" Twilight reminded.
"No, Twilight Sparkle! We must use the traditional royal Canterlot voice for what we are about to say." Luna said in her booming echoing voice.
"Luna, please." Edd pleaded desperately.
"Since you choose to fear your princess rather than love her and dishonor her with this insulting celebration, we decree that Nightmare Night shall be canceled! Forever!" Luna announced while flying into the air and lighting striking behind her with the clouds swirl in the sky.
Vicky, Edd, Twilight, and all of the towns folk look in fear and surprise at the announcement as she flies away. As everything clears the town started to clean up the mess that was caused to their depression on the cancellation of the holiday.
"Shoot. We had everything goin' our way. Luna was happy, everypony in town was happy, now look at 'em." Applejack pointed as the foals cry with their parents trying to comfort them to the thought that this could be their last Nightmare Night. Twilight looked down and noticed she was stepping on a Nightmare Moon logo. This put on a more determined look on Twilight.
"It's not over yet." Twilight said."What are you gonna do?" Applejack asked."We're going to do what we do best. Lecture her! Vicky, where is she?" Twilight asked and Vicky's eyes turned to the whitish Golden iris.
"She's at the bridge." Vicky answered and the three were off. They looked through town to search for their princess until they eventually found her walking across the Ponyville bridge with her head lowered in depression.
"Princess." Twilight called.
"Leave me be, Vicky Taylor, Eddward Vincent and Twilight Sparkle." Luna said despondently almost sounding like she was about to cry.
"Princess. I'm sorry it hasn't worked out how we wanted. But you have to believe me when I tell you that Nightmare Night is one of the most popular celebrations we have." Twilight said.
"Yes. I can tell. By all the adoring shrieks of the children as they run away." Luna pointed out dejectedly.
"Princess..." Twilight sighed regrettably.
"Princess, if you do this, if you cancel Nightmare Night, it's just going to make everything even worst." Vicky warned.
"Was it any worst than before? They all still fear me no matter what." Luna said sadly.
"No, they fear Nightmare Moon, and you're not Nightmare Moon." Edd said to her.
"Was... For all I know, I'll always be alone. Even when I'm back to my normal self." Luna said with tears flowing through her eyes.
"[sigh] No, you won't." Vicky assured.
"Yes. It's just such a great feeling to look up at the stars, looking at the constellations, imagining what's out there, listening to the calm peaceful silence, and just look at the beautiful moon's light shine across the city. It was one of the best things I can ever experience on Earth. And yours is even grander." Vicky smiled and Luna began shedding tears but in joy.
"Nopony has ever said that they loved my night before. You're the first one to ever say such words." Luna said through her tears.
"Well, it's not just me who enjoys your night. Twilight and Edd here too has a liking to it." Vicky pointed at Twilight and Edd.
"It's true. I'm an expert when it comes to stargazing." Twilight said with a smile.
"Thank you three. But it still doesn't change the fact that everypony still runs in terror from me. I told my sister that coming here was a bad idea but no, she insisted that I should go anyway, even though I didn't want to." Luna said.
"Wait, you didn't want to come?" Vicky asked curiously.
"No. My sister said that it would be good to get out and experience the world again and that you five would be a great start. And don't get me wrong, you three have been wonderful for the past hours, but it's still not enough with everypony not giving me a chance. I still don't know why she suggested you five first though. It's quite puzzling." Luna admitted. Vicky thought for a moment and came up with a shocking conclusion. Is this the punishment Princess Celestia didn't mentioned? If so it's not so bad of a punishment as her originally thought. Thought it's not very easy either.
"Don't give up now. There still some hope left. We just need to figure out another plan to assure them you're not Nightmare Moon." Vicky said.
"How?" Luna asked and Twilight began to ponder for a moment.
Back at the town the citizens still weep over the announcement. Pinkie, Ed and Eddy however continues to be her random self as she acts like a chicken. She then spies a piece of candy which made her eyes sparkle in delight. She rushes to it and pecks the wrapper open and eats the candy. She then notices a trail of candy leading into an alley and follows it eating every candy she comes across. Suddenly Twilight tackles her to the ground which almost made Pinkie shriek but Twilight covered her mouth as she pins her against the wall.
"No! No shrieking. No screaming or squealing either. Okay?" Twilight said in a serious tone.
"Okay." Pinkie muffled.
"There's something we want you to see. And we promise that it's safe, but you really, really can't shriek. Do you promise not to shriek?" Twilight asked and Pinkie nodded with a hum. Twilight released her hoof from her mouth and stood back as Vicky and Edd comes in.
"Pinkie, you remember Princess Luna, right?" Vicky asked and Luna steps out of the darkness. Her presence made Pinkie almost make a squawking scream but covered her mouth quickly.
"Ah. The ringleader of the frightened children. Hast thou come to make peace?" Luna asked holding out her hoof. Pinkie looked at it for a moment until she approaches with a soft smile and holds her hoof to shake hers. A lightning bolt suddenly flashed behind Luna making a scary face from the light.
Nightmare Moon!" Pinkie screamed and ran away squawking after laying an egg. It was Dash on the cloud above laughing uncontrollably from the rude prank.
"Ed and Eddy why you follow Pinkie pie around be scared of time, Luna not evil no more, can you two please apologize to her. Vicky asked the both boys. so both Eds ask sorry to her want they acting about all this. so Luna accepts they apologies.
"Rainbow!" Twilight scolded.
"Not cool, Dash!" Vicky joined. Pinkie was about to escape out of the alley but Twilight appeared in front of her and tackled Pinkie again stopping her from getting away and pinned her to the ground.
"She's changed, Pinkie! She's not evil or scary anymore! And she definitely doesn't want to gobble you up!" Twilight assured irritatedly.
"So stop running away!" Vicky added and Pinkie opened her eyes with a blank look on her.
"...Well, duh." Pinkie flat out said.
"Huh?" three Eds, Vicky and Twilight questioned in unison.
"I know that. Sheesh, guys. I'm almost as big as her. How's she gonna gobble me up?" Pinkie asked.
"So why do you keep running away and screaming?" Twilight asked.
"Sometimes it's just really fun to be scared." Pinkie said.
"Fun? Pinkie Pie, you're a genius!" Twilight exclaimed excitingly.
"No, I'm not. I'm a chicken." Pinkie said and squawked like a chicken.
"And I have an idea on how to make this work." Vicky declared and whispered the plan in Twilight and Edd's ear. This widened they eyes and smiles in glee as both jumped up and down excitingly.
"Oh yes! I've always wanted to do this spell! I've been waiting a long time to do it on somepony and now it's a good chance to do it. Good idea, Vicky." Twilight commended.
"we'll see you there." Vicky nodded and her and three Eds rushed to town while Twilight heads to a once again saddened Luna.
"Princess Luna! We've finally figured out why you're having so much trouble being liked!" Twilight announced.
"Forgive me if I withhold my enthusiasm." Luna said in a down tone.
"Come with me. I'll explain everything on the way." Twilight instructed and Luna obeys after rolling her eyes as they head to the Everfree Forest.
Vicky and Eds explains the plan to Applejack and she passes it along to the mayor and Zecora which they all agreed to go along. They all clean up the mess that has been made as the children continue to mope.
"Gosh. I never thought my very first Nightmare Night would be my very last." Pipsqueak sniffed. Vicky nodded at Zecora and she understood as she approaches the group.
"Come, little Pip. Now don't you fret. Nightmare Night's not over yet. We still have candy left to give, so Nightmare Moon might let us live." Zecora spoke in a spooky voice.
"Yes. Come on, little ponies. What's Nightmare Night without the annual candy offering? You don't want Nightmare Moon to gobble you up, do you?" the mayor asked in a spooky voice in the last words.
"Aw, the rainbow wig just kills it for me." Spike groaned as he cleans up as well.
"Come on, kids! Doesn't that sound like fun?" Applejack asked with an upbeat tone and the fillies looked at each other with second thoughts. They eventually agreed to come along and lined up in front of the Nightmare Moon statue in the forest to gather the candy in front of it. It was Pipsqueaks turn and he places his candy in the stack.
"Goodbye Nightmare Night. Forever." Pipsqueak declared in a glooming tone and was about to depart. The wind suddenly picked up which startled the children.
"Citizens of Ponyville! You were wise to bring these candies to me. I am pleased with your offering. So pleased that I may just eat it... instead of eating you!" a booming voice announced and they all see the statue of Nightmare Moon come to life with razor sharp teeth. The group screamed in terror and started running away again. However Nightmare Moon morphed back into Luna and she spat out the fake teeth.
"Thank you Star Swirl the Bearded for the amniomorphic spell." Vicky declared as her and Twilight, and Ed's step from behind the trees.
"I am not certain that did what you meant for it to do, Twilight Sparkle and Vicky Taylor, Eddward Vincent." Luna admitted.
"Just wait." Twilight said.
"For what? For... for them to scream some more?" Luna asked stepping off the base of the statue before feeling her mane being tugged.
"Um... Princess Luna. I know there's not gonna be any more Nightmare Night, but do you suppose maybe you could come back next year and scare us again anyway?" Pipsqueak asked and Luna turned her attention to a nearby bush with other children hiding.
"Child. Art thou saying that thou... likest me to scare you?" Luna asked incredulously.
"It's really fun! Scary, but fun."
"It... 'tis?"
"Yeah! Nightmare Night is my favorite night of the year."
"Well then. We shall have to bring [booming voice] Nightmare Night back!" Luna announced as the strength of her voice sends Pipsqueak sliding a few feet.
"Whoa! You're my favorite princess ever! She said yes, guys!" Pipsqueak announced after giving Luna a small hug and the other foals cheered.
"See? They really do like you, princess." Twilight said.
"No, they love you." Vicky corrected.
"Can it be true? [booming voice] Oh, most wonderful of...! [normal voice] I mean... Oh, most wonderful of nights." Luna quickly corrected herself sheepishly.
Everything was starting to get better as the festival resumes and the ponies were enjoying themselves again. A stallion attempts to hit the web in the spider throwing game but ends up hitting the ground. He threw his hoof in defeat and watches Luna take her turn. She throws it and again hits the center of the web with the crowd cheering. She felt her tail being tugged and turns to see Pipsqueak and two other fillies offer her their candy. She smiled sweetly at the kind foals. At the bobbing for apples area a mouse mare was about to go for an apple until Luna pops out from the water and scares the mare to the ground. She smiles slyly as she eats an apple and the group around laughed at the prank.
Back at the Nightmare Moon statue in the Everfree Forest Vicky, Eds, Twilight, and Spike hang out as they eat their candy and write a lesson to Celestia.
"Dear Princess Celestia,When you first sent me to Ponyville, I didn't know anything about friendship. I met somepony tonight who was having the same problem - your sister, Princess Luna! She taught me that one of the best things you can do with friendship is to give it to others, and help them find it themselves! And I'm happy to report that all of Ponyville has learned that even if somepony seems a little intimidating, even scary, when you offer them your friendship, you'll discover a whole new pony underneath. And even if my Star Swirl the Bearded costume didn't go over, this still turned out to be the best Nightmare Night ever!" Twilight declared.
"No doubt. Let's eat." Vicky said as her searches through the pile of candy and Twilight eats one. Without noticing Dash sneaks above the six on her storm cloud and was ready to strike it until something zapped her from behind. She screams fearfully and flies away with the Six noticing below.
"Now, who could've done that?" Eddy asked and they looked up to see Luna descending on a storm cloud of her own.
"Oh. I guess we owe you one, huh?" Edd asked and Luna winked. They began laughing joyfully as the night goes on. The moon shines brighter than ever as the princess of the night is now one of the happiest in a very long time.
