"Oooh! Customers, customers! Welcome!" A flash of pink whizzed out the door and abruptly stopped in front of them. The mare had a brilliant raspberry mane, light cerulean eyes, and a pale, light raspberry coat.

"Hello Pinkie Pie, I've brought a friend to treat him out for a meal."

"Oh, hello there!" In yet another pink flash, Naruto found himself nose to nose with the new pony. The pony seemed to move in near lightspeed speeds as she poked around in every direction. "Ooh you have such fun hair? And what's with the fox tail. I don't think I've ever seen you before. How'd you get the foxtail? What's your name? Are you a fox-pony? I've never met a foxpony before!" she suddenly gasped after her flurry of questions threatened to overwhelm Naruto. "I have to plan you a party!"

"But you just me. Why would you throw a party for me?"

"Because that's just what I do. I throw parties for all my new friends."

"Pinkie Pie if you don't mind we're here to get something to eat."

Pinkie's eyes widened in glee. "Ooh! I didn't know you two came here to buy some sweets! Well, what do you and Mr. Foxpony want to eat?"

"H-Hey, the name is Naruto. Not Fox pony okay." Naruto remarked as a deep blush colored his cheeks.

"Nah-rue-toh? Wow that's such a strange candy. Sounds like a dance you do on your toes."

'My god. Every single one of them is insane.' Naruto thought as he simply sat back and resigned to a life of ponies who were going to confuse the hell out of him.

"Surprise! Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for all of you! Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh huh huh?" said Pinkie Pie in a blaze of questions that threw the Unicorn off guard.

"Very surprised. Libraries are supposed to be quiet." Twilight remarked.

"Well, that's silly! What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring! Y'see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all "hello" and I was all…" Pinkie Pie took a deep gasp before continuing. "…, remember? Y'see I've never saw you before and if I've never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville!" said Pinkie in a bigger blaze of words. Twilight just groaned as she just wanted the night for herself. "And if you're new, that meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, then I had an idea, and that's why I went…" she took another deep gasp. " I must throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville! See? And now you have lots and lots of friends!" Pinkie Pie finished.

"Just accept it." Naruto remarked as he scooped up a plate of cupcakes and began feasting on them. Twilight ran for her room while Naruto and Spike enjoyed the food.

"She gonna be alright?" Applejack wondered about the Unicorn.

"Yeah, she's not much of a partygoer." Spike remarked before he let out an explosive exhume of fire. "Hot sauce". Spike cried out as he found a bottle of hot sauce near the cupcakes.

"What? It's good!" said Pinkie Pie as she ate one of "hot" cupcakes.

Some time had passed as the party continued on. Twilight was groaning in her bed as she heard the party going on downstairs. She didn't want to interact with anyone.

"Hey Twilight! Pinkie Pie's started speaking, "…pin the tail on the pony"! Wanna play?" Spike asked.

"No! All the ponies in this town are crazy! Do you know what time it is?!" the aggravated Unicorn demanded.

"It's the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration. Everypony has to stay up, or they'll miss the Princess raise the sun! You really should lighten up, Twilight. It's a party!" Spike said as he left the room. Twilight mocked his words after he left.

"Ugh, here I thought I'd have time to learn about the Elements of Harmony but, silly me, all this ridiculous friend-making has kept me from it!" Twilight looked out of her window and saw four stars moving towards the moon which had a symbol that strongly resembled the face of Nightmare Moon. "Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about everlasting night." "I hope the Princess was right... I hope it really is just an old ponytale..." said Twilight until she heard a familiar voice.

"How long are you going to hide up here?" Naruto asked as he entered the room. Twilight was surprised that the pony was up here instead of partying with her friends. "Let me guess, you're not the type to make friends?"

"You too? Look I don't have time for friends."

Naruto cut her off with a snort. "You believe that now but trust me; a life without friends isn't much of a life. For those of us who grew up without a family to love them or people to care for them, I would have killed to be in the position you are now. People being nice and happy to see me. Treating me like someone that they're happy to see. I never knew friendship growing up so don't throw away such a valuable opportunity." Naruto no longer felt any shame when it came to his past. If it meant he could help one person, then he could relive that experience briefly.

"Why…why would anypony be treated that way?" the befuddled unicorn asked. She couldn't imagine anypony being treated like they were unwanted. A part of her wanted to reject what the stallion was saying as such things didn't happen, but the conviction in his eyes supported that he wasn't lying.

"If you want to learn more I'd be happy to tell you after the festival. "

"C'mon, guys, it's time to watch the sunrise!" said Spike as he came back into the room.

"Well, its time to go. I'll wait for you guys outside." Naruto remarked as he left the library. He waited for Twilight and Spike to come down as he led them to Town Hall.

"Isn't this exciting? Are you excited, 'cause I'm excited, I've never been so excited- well, except for the time that I saw you walking into town and I went, but I mean really, who can top that?" Pinkie Pie continued with her excited jabber.

"Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!" said Mayor Mare as she starts the ceremony. The mayor was an Earth pony with a pale, grayish amber coat, brilliant fuchsia mane and phthalo blue eyes.

All of the ponies start to cheer. "In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year!" Twilight looks outside to see the stars move behind the moon and the symbol on the moon disappears. Twilight starts to grow nervous. "And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria..."

"Ready?" Fluttershy asked her birds. The birds then began their

"...Princess Celestia!" said the Mayor but the Princess was not there.

"Huh?" said Rarity in shock. The ponies were whispering nervously.

"This can't be good." Twilight murmured to herself as she grew nervous.

Naruto noticed the nervous fidgeting of the unicorn. It was different from all the ponies, her twitch was more fearful. "Twilight, are you okay?"

"Remain calm, everypony, there must be a reasonable explanation!" Mayor Mare called out to the ponies as she tried to keep them from panicking.

"Ooh, ooh, I love guessing games! Is she hiding?" Pinkie Pie excitedly chattered

"She's gone!" said Rarity. All of the ponies in the building gasped.

A cold surge coursed through Naruto. That dark presence was so familiar he could never forget it. This was the very same sensation that came from that creature Ombra. On top of the balcony a dark cerulean glow filled the air. The mist took form as it slowly shaped into the form of a pony with a moderate cobalt blue mane and moderate cyan catlike eyes with dark armor and dark sapphire blue coat.

'That presence…it's the same as Ombra.' Naruto thought. He couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelm by the power this being was exhuming.

"Oh no... Nightmare Moon!" Twilight exclaimed as Spike fainted.

"Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious, little sun-loving faces." said Nightmare Moon as she was looking at the audience of ponies.

"What did you do with our Princess?!" Rainbow Dash yelled out as she tried to charge at Nightmare Moon but she was stopped by Applejack.

"Whoa there, Nelly..." said Applejack as she bit down on Rainbow Dash's tail. Nightmare Moon then starts to chuckle.

"Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?" asked Nightmare Moon.

"Ooh, ooh, more guessing games! Um, Hokey Smokes! How about... Queen Meanie! No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty"- Pinkie Pie guessed.

"I did. And I know who you are. You're the Mare in the Moon – Nightmare Moon!" Twilight said as she revealed the mare's identity which shocked everypony in the room.

"Well well well, somepony who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here."

"You're here to... to..." Twilight Sparkle began to stammer. Having lost the confidence she had for that moment.

Nightmare Noon chuckled. "Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!" said Nightmare Moon as lightning starts to fill the air.
