Nights of Frights and Butterscotch

by Rocket Lawn Chair
On the eve of Nightmare Night, Luna's budding friendship with a young journalist is tested by a terrible secret she's kept for years.

What will become of Nightmare Night without Nightmare Moon? That's what Ink Blot, a timid young journalist from the Canterlot Chronicle wants to know. During her interview with Princess Luna, the two ponies develop a budding new friendship.

After experiencing a particularly disturbing dream, Ink Blot turns to her new friend for answers. Luna's reluctance to provide answers puts their new friendship to the test, and risks revealing a terrible truth about Nightmare Moon that Luna has kept hidden for years.
