It's Nightmare Night, and Rainbow Dash is anticipating a fun night of - officially sanctioned by an absent Princess Luna - frightening little foals. But when she and Twilight go to pick up Applejack for the annual candy offering, the night takes a dark turn, and Equestria may never be the same again.

This is the prequel story to a longer one that I'm currently writing. This is a rather short, grimdark story that sets the stage for the events of Sunset Shimmer's return to Equestria.

What will Sunset find when she returns to Equestria?
Why are the day and the night so out of balance?
Who are these hostile ponies called Roamans?
When did Pinkie Pie move out of Sugarcube Corner?

The answers to these questions and many more in the sequel to this story: Sunset Shimmer: The Nightland Adventures
