and here we go again.
Hopefully I'll have better pacing than the last time.

Stratos and Golden Breeze are dressed as whatever a ponified version of Thor and Loki look like.
as is Cumulus as Star Butterfly.

I had initially mentioned wanting to make Temporal dress as one of the Doctors, in this case Twelve, but decided to forgo that infavor of a Douglas Adams nod.

Ribbon is just a generic Hula dancer, but I did use the proper terminology to describe her headdress and anklelets.

Mac was also going to end up as "Sweeny Razor", but I remembered that I had referred to Sweeny Todd as Sweeny Todd in the last nightmare night fic.

For starters, I really don't get the "Spike is now a full grown dragon so he has wings now."
What, is he going to undergo metamorphosis and coccoon himself like a caterpillar and emerge with more limbs?

So unless he marries a pegasus, any kinds he has aren't going to have wings.

I wanted to make Fireburst look less like Carnifex's Lavender or Kilala's Clarity and Turquoise.

Cream Pie is another generic vampire.

Originally, Pumpkin was going to wear the Pretty Pretty Princess: Princess Cadance costume, while Pound would have been a wonderbolt.
But I swapped it because it felt equally in character for how I write Pound.
...I noticed I always make Pound the goofy one and Pumpkin the Serious one.
I should reverse that later.

Spike is supposed to be a genric Dragon, but I think I made him KIng Ghidora.
And little Fireburst is just wearing his own version of Trixie's magician uniform.

The Haunted house is always a must have, isn't it?

Rumble and Diamond Tiara are, obviously the Mad Hatter and Queen of Hearts.
Lickity Split was already mentioned as Silver Spoon's colt friend in Across the Multiverse...and that sounds like it's going to have a really weird shipname.

I went around looking for an appropriate pony to serve as La Calavera Catrina/La Muerte/Santa Muerte, as more-or-less depicted in The Book of Life.
I was almost going to go with Tootsie Flute, but settled on Zipporwhill after double checking the MLP wiki, where it claims she has a slight Latin American accent.

This was a lot of fun to read. Great job. Good luck with the next chapter. I love learning about all the kids and the costumes their parents are wearing.

I really like Temporal. She's got her Dad's brains and her Mum's bravery for sure. Nothing in the house even fazed her. She's definitely a good combination of Turner and Dash right there. She's an excellent OC

These stories about Rainbow and Time Turner and Temporal are fun, I hope you have more planned

This was a nice story. I enjoyed looking into the future. I do want to know about how Spike and Twilight got together? I've been on a spilight theme rescently.
