Ponies' Just Desserts
Luna Eclipsed
Previous ChapterLuna was walking along the path of Ponyville thinking about the awful night she's had. Her little ponies no longer love or admire her they believe her to be a monster who straight up eats children. 'Where in Equestria did THAT even come from?' Thought Luna, 'Nightmare Moon would never resort to cannibalism let alone US. We just hope we can end this awful holiday before somepony gets hurt...'
"Princess!" Shouted Twilight interrupting Luna's thoughts, "I'm sorry everything hasn't worked out how we wanted. But believe me when I say Nightmare Night is one of the most popular celebrations we have." That statement made Luna turn red with anger. HOW COULD SHE!?! HOW COULD SHE!??!?!?
Luna turned to face Twilight right in her face and said in the Canerlot Royal Voice, "SO! YOU DARE TELL ME THAT BECAUSE OTHERS ARE HAVING FUN AT MY EXPENSE MEANS THAT I SHOULD JUST SIT BACK AND LET THEM!?!?!?"
"Well...I..." Twilight tried to say.
"WHEN WE WERE NIGHTMARE MOON WE ENJOYED SEEING THE SUFFERING OF EVERYTHING ALIVE, AND WAS I IN THE RIGHT BECAUSE OF THAT? NO! NO WE WEREN'T! NIGHTMARE NIGHT IS BANNED FOR IT ONLY TEACHES CHILDREN TO FEAR ME AND EVEN THAT IT'S OKAY TO HURT OTHERS, JUST LOOK AT WHAT RAINBOW DASH DOES!" Luna paused to take a few deep breaths then continued in a quieter voice, "Tell me Twilight Sparkle, do you REALLY believe that a holiday that promotes THIS kind of thing..." Luna pointed at a couple of colts throwing eggs at Derpy, keeping her pinned down while doing so, "...is okay to keep around? It has GOT to stop." Twilight was takin' aback by Luna's anger but she realized that Luna is indeed correct; every nightmare night ponies do cause serious damage, and why? For kicks.
Meanwhile with Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie was running happily with several fillies and colts. Suddenly out of nowhere the children ran in front of Pinkie, "WHY'D YOU STOP!?" Asked Pinkie in a frightened tone, "NIGHTMARE MOON IS..."
"IS DEAD YOU IDIOT!" Shouted Applebloom, "YOU should know, YOU were THERE!"
"YEAH!" Exclaimed Scootaloo, "Poor Luna just wanted to make friends with us but you got us to run away from her like she's pony enemy number one or something!"
"But...but..." Stuttered Pinkie in shock.
"This holiday is stupid anyway" Said Sweetie Belle, "Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon only ever physically bully us on Nightmare Night, earlier today those two threw eggs at me."
Pipsqueak tried to say something, but just puked.
"Come on everypony" Exclaimed Dinky, "let's go find Luna and apologize; maybe we can get some HEALTHY food and enough candy on the feat she offered earlier before we upchuck our intestines like him."
"But...aren't we having fun?" Asked Pinkie.
Applebloom turned to Pinkie angrily and said, "No, we're NOT, because Luna isn't having fun and this holiday is SUPPOSED to be in HER honor. You're an adult Pinkie and yet we kids know that bullying is wrong*Harumph*" AB turned away from the pink mare in disgust.
Pinkie just sat there in shock. Did Applebloom just call her a bully? Pinkie layed down on the ground and began sniffling, Applebloom was right, SHE (the element of laughter) just abandoned a friend in her time of need and did so in a way that allowed Pinkie to have a good time at the expense of somepony else's joy.
THE END
Author's Note
Those kids got caught in the moment, and yes they ran also, but in here they found out what they did was wrong and are going to fix their mistake by talking to Luna.
What? This wasn't a bad episode but poor Luna. And as for Pinkie Pie it's all fun and games but so was causing eternal night for Nightmare Moon.
Next: May The Best Pet Win (calling out RD's abusive ways in that episode)
