Nightmare's Nightmare

“So Twilight what are you going to do for Nightmare Night?” Spike asked Twilight. She was setting up a library in her new castle.

“Huh?” Twilight asked. She flew down from where she was putting a book in a shelf. ”What did you say Spike?”

“I asked what you are doing for Nightmare Night.” Spike replied.

“Well Princess Luna’s coming again so I’ll be helping her.” Twilight said, “And Cadance and I have set up a gag that we’ll dress up as each other.”

“Cool.” Spike said.

“What about you Spike?” Twilight asked.

“Oh, I’ll be dressed up as Fluttershy.” Spike said.

“Luna will arrive soon,” Twilight said “So I should get ready.”

Night fell on Ponyville, and Nightmare Night began. Fillies began to get into costumes. Mares and stallions also got into costumes, but not for the candy. Unless you’re Pinkie Pie.

Twilight got into her Cadance costume. Spike got into his Fluttershy costume.

“So what do you think?” Twilight asked in her Cadance costume. But before Spike could answer, there was a ring at the door.

Twilight walked to the castle door. When she opened it seven fillies where standing there.

“Nightmare Night! What a fright! Give us something sweet to bite!” The fillies shouted.

“Hey, where’s Princess Twilight?” A filly asked.

“I am Princess Twilight.” Twilight said pulling off her fake mane. “Here,” Twilight said, putting two pieces of candy in each of the filly’s bags.

“Thanks, Princess!” the fillies said and left.

Twilight put her fake mane back on, and her and Spike left the castle.

They walked over to Applejack’s apple bobbing area.

“Princess Cadance!” Applejack said with glee. “I didn’t know you were coming to Ponyville.”

Twilight chuckled. “Applejack it’s me.” She said.

“Oh sorry Twilight, I thought you were Cadance.” Applejack said.

“It’s all right, Applejack.” Twilight said.

Suddenly there was a crackle of thunder, and clouds swarmed the sky. “Enjoying yourselves?” A familiar voice said. “I hope so. For you must still give me candy, OR ELSE!”
Fillies screamed and dumped candy in the center of the celebration.
“Good. Now, go enjoy your selves!” The voice said with a gleeful tone. Then Princess Luna flew out of the clouds and landed.
“Ponies!” Luna said. “I am back, so enjoy yourselves.”
The fillies then went about their business.
“Princess Luna!” Twilight shouted.
“Cadance?” Luna said in confusion. “I was unaware that you were in Ponyville tonight.”
“Princess Luna it’s me.” Twilight said.
“Oh, that costume is well made.” Luna replied.
“Thank you. So how are things in Canterlot?” Twilight asked. The princesses then began to stroll in town.
“Things are fine” Luna said. “Celestia has been acting a little strange, but everything else is fine.”
“Strange? How strange?” Twilight asked.
“She’s been asking strange questions, questions she wouldn’t normally ask.” Luna replied. “With that in mind I was wondering if I could stay in Ponyville tonight.”
“Of course you can stay in Ponyville,” Twilight said. “My castle has an extra room you can stay in.”
“Thank you Twilight.” Luna said.
So when Nightmare Night ended Twilight and Luna went back to the castle, for a good night’s sleep.
“Good night Luna,” Twilight said.
“Good night Twilight.” Luna replied.
So that night, the princesses slept, preparing for the perils they would face the next day.
