Happy Halloween!

I had a very similar idea to this but it was more or less a situation of a magic item Sunset finds and keeps locked up basically splitting her in two Nutty Professor style. Sunset in this moment loses her edge but is also no longer held down by the weighted guilt of her past. Meanwhile Demon Sunset(In my version she's called Scarlet Sundown) tries living it up without Sunset only to quickly find out that no one really wants to be her friend that is until she runs into Sci-Twi and has a talk with Midnight Sparkle.

This was a cute little story

what was sunset expecting to happen?

That they remember Halloween and realize just a costume. If pinkie hadn't been trying to help it might have gone better.

Maybe. It might have had something to do with trauma.

Who knows? Pinkie idea of fun is nuts. You think that after a bit they would have noticed nothing bad was happening but they kept insisting on a demon queen. I wish they knew how to make up their minds considering they don't want a demon queen but keep insisting that sunset play the part.

Are you talking about the students or the rainbooms?

Yeah that checks out.

The students were falling all over themselves not have the demon do anything to them but every time she tried to tell just a costume and she didn't want anyone doing this stuff they refused to listen and insisted on doing it or something similar.

Twilight rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh, it's not like you'd get arrested for freaking out a bunch of teenagers. The police have more important things to—"

MURPHY'S LAW, TWILIGHT. SUNSET ALREADY TEMPTED HIM ONCE, DON'T TRY IT AGAIN!

That is true. I’m pretty sure they still believe it by the end of the story.

I'm not sure what I love more, Rarity being frighteningly good at being an evil overlady or Pinkie's attempt to take over the town. In any case, delightful madness. And they should all be thankful that Twilight turned down Rarity's suggestion for a companion piece...

I'm getting a lot of "I'm not the Messiah" vibes.

This is great.

Aaahhhhh hahaha! Good work on this one!

This is simply amazing.

All Sunset could do was put her hand up to her face in disappointment. "Rarity, please just make me the vampire costume next year."

Nothing wrong with a Vampire costume. Unless your cosplaying Twilight. In which case, might want to watch a better movies series instead.

"What? Of course I will, silly. The Cupcakestume can deflate for use in tight spaces, see?"

Pinkie Pie Perfection Part 1

Pinkie perked up and shot to the front of the group, her nose up in the air like a bloodhound. "Is that... candy corn... cupcakes!?" she said, her voice rising and her eyes lighting up.

Pinkie Pie Perfection Part 2! (Also, gross.)

"Ah! You're not gonna get me!" Pinkie screamed as she ran out the door as well.

Pinkie Pie Perfection Part 3

"Uh, my queen? Do you really wish to give your offerings away like this?"

Gosh, that's super cute, and a very Sunset thing to do! A lot of this story involves Sunset doing very Sunset things.

"I'm making an offering, silly. What does it look like?" she said with a giggle.

Aaaaahh, Pinkie Pie Perfection Part 4!!!

"Oooh, there it is!" Pinkie said as she grabbed the blackened, still-smoking bowl of burnt cheese and proceeded to dip the chocolate into it and take a bite. "Hmm, that's not as good as it usually is."

The only thing missing here would be the revelation that she microwaved it in a plastic plate, too. Anyway, Pinkie Pie Perfection Part 5.

"We've blockaded every street, you she-demon! You're not gonna recruit anybody anymore," Applebloom's voice exclaimed.

Of course.

"Oh, you are not pulling out my immaculate stitching. The headband can go but you're just going to have to deal with the wings."

Welp, that explains why she didn't just take it off.


Overall
This was well-written and really cute. Most of the girls were written nicely in character, and I enjoyed their personalities really coming through the little bits of dialogue. Great job at showing and not telling. Definitely glad I read this! Thanks for the laughs.

Final
Pinkie Pie Perfection Points Tally Total: 5
Final Rating: 5/5 Pinkie Pie Perfection, 10/10 Adorable Sunset

Wonderful piece of madness, Holy. I was grinning like an idiot the entire read.

"Ooh, I'm so excited!" Rarity said, her shaking as she held them close to her face. "We might even get a spot in the school paper for these dazzling costumes."

Meanwhile, three other teenage girls suddenly sneezed...:rainbowlaugh:

All Sunset could do was put her hand up to her face in disappointment. "Rarity, please just make me the vampire costume next year."

Is this some call forward to the Costume Conundrum short where Sunset does go to Bulk Biceps' costume party as a vampire, implying that happens a year after this story?
