When a new festival is to be held in Ponyville celebrating Luna's raising of the moon, strange things begin to happen. Talks of murderous mares and demonic shadows quickly begin to dominate the townspony talk. On top of it all, in the midst of the paranoia of a possible return of Nightmare Moon, Twilight and her friends begin to lose trust in one another.

An MLP story based on the anime Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, or When the Cicadas Cry. I hope you enjoy.
