*Sunset's POV*
After using several bottles of cream fur dye, Danyelle was working on the black markings for her tails.
Danyelle thinks "Damn, the eyes are the only problem with my costume."
*Meanwhile at the library,*
I spoke "Hurry up! This is my first Nightmare Night you know!"
Twilight spoke "Sorry, Amethyst. Normally Rarity would say this, but costumes take time."
I groan "That winged nekomata has her costume on already though!"
Twilight spoke "And I don’t know how that happened."
Slipping my own tail into a fake wolf tail, I spoke "Know what I heard? She used a lot of fur dye to get that cream color she wanted three days ago and now, she's getting her costume on. I think she's dressing up as a Japanese anime character... But as to who, that's a surprise."
Twilight spoke "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
I spoke "Ask Lillian or Tempest, they'd know."
Twilight spoke "I’ll keep that in mind."
I spoke "Too bad the two-tailed fox isn't taking part."
Silverstorm spoke "He's scared of lightning and knowing Rainbow, she'd probably prank others."
Twilight spoke "I still don’t understand why he’s scared of lightning."
Silverstorm spoke "According to Sonic, Tails has been afraid of lightning since he was little. I'm talking around Rusty's age."
Twilight spoke "But I’m asking how he became afraid of lightning."
Silverstorm spoke "Ask his parents..."
Twilight spoke "I’ll try to make a note of that."
*Later*
Danyelle and Pinkie show up with a group of children.
Danyelle spoke "Nice costume Twilight! Happy Nightmare Night!"
Twilight spoke "Thanks, Dany. Wait, Pinkie?"
Danyelle spoke "Don't ask....."
Pinkie spoke "Can’t talk! Time is candy! Bawk!"
Rusty spoke "I have to bring my sister along since my dad's too scared to be out and about tonight."
Serenity spoke "And it gave me a good idea for a prank!"
Twilight asks "So this is Serenity?"
Danyelle spoke "Yeah, she can be a little trouble-maker at times."
Rusty tugs his sister's ear.
Rusty spoke "Be nice sis, you know dad's astraphobic...."
Serenity whines "Rusty!"
Rusty spoke "Don't make me tell mom."
Serenity yips "Eep!"
Danyelle spoke "At least Dawn can get away with being normal tonight.... And don't even think about it Skittles, you should know by now not to scare a pregnant female. It could cause a miscarriage."
Rainbow Dash whines "Aw come on! How did you know I was here?!"
Danyelle spoke "I have keen hearing, it gives me the advantage against your pranks... And please try not to scare Tails, he IS astraphobic though."
Rainbow Dash spoke "Yeah, that would be too easy. Ooh! Another pranking opportunity!"
Danyelle chuckles "Typical Rainbow. Shall we head off Twi?"
Twilight spoke "Sure."
I lock the library after heading off with Twilight, Spike, Danyelle and the Prower children.
Iris was running around in her natural form since Nightmare Night was the one time she could get away with not being disguised.
Danyelle spoke "Howdy Applejack and Cross."
Crosswind spoke "Happy Nightmare Night Danyelle and Twilight."
Then Sonic showed up.
Sonic asks "Hey guys. Wait, what costume is that suppose to be, Twilight?"
I spoke "I don't know though."
Twilight spoke "I’m Starswirl the Bearded."
Rusty asks "Uncle Sonic, why is my dad afraid of lightning?"
Sonic spoke "Didn’t get the full story, you’ll have to ask your mom for that."
Rusty spoke "Serenity here was planning to prank him though but I warned her not to.... Oh, Scoots! Nice wolf costume!"
Scootaloo spoke "Thanks! But what’s your costume, because it looks awesome!"
Rusty spoke "I'm dressed up as Phoenix Wright, auntie Danyelle knows the character more though."
Danyelle spoke "Hey Lillian! Nice cat costume!"
Lillian spoke "I have a friend of mine to thank for that idea."
Danyelle spoke "Aw, you!"
Danyelle gave Lillian a bit of a noogie, like they were sisters.
Danyelle asks "Can you guess my costume?"
Lillian exclaims "Kilala!"
Danyelle spoke "Yep but the eyes are the wrong color... And I didn't have any feather dye so I left my wings alone but I have them bound inside the outfit though. It's rather uncomfortable..."
A purple furred Mobian she-wolf was among the crowd since she had fake wings on her back.
Danyelle asks "Hey Lillian, isn't that the Japanese Mobian I mentioned to Rarity one time?"
Lillian spoke "Looks like it."
A howl rings loud just as Princess Luna arrives, spooking the Mobians and ponies more than normal.
Danyelle asks "What in the world was that?!?"
A pink Mobian cat was shaking in fear before cowering at the sight of Luna.
The Mobian cat mewls "Ooh.. where’s Renee when you need her?"
Renee was cowering behind a red furred wolf, likely her boyfriend.
A blue Lorikeet Mobian spoke "For Amaterasu's sake Zoey, you're a scaredy cat."
A large wolf was behind Luna but the alicorn knew that the wolf wouldn't hurt ponies or Mobians.
I pull Twilight back before she could approach Luna.
“Not that I doubt you, Twilight, but what are you doing?” I asked.
Danyelle stutters "Th-that wolf is Holo..."
“What?!” I asked in surprise.
Lillian had sprayed apple cider in Applejack's face.
Lillian coughs "Y-you sure Dany?"
Danyelle spoke "Y-yeah."
"Why is Holo here, then?" I asked.
Holo walks over to an apple barrel before sniffing at it.
Looking back at Luna, Holo asks "Apples?"
Lillian asks "Say Applejack, didn't you find large wolf pawprints one time?"
Applejack spoke "Uh, maybe? Ah don’t know what Ah saw back there."
Lillian spoke "Well timber wolf paw prints are a little different than normal wolf pawprints... Yet the ones you found are much bigger than a normal wolf's pawprints.... I think I know who made them."
Shivering, Danyelle thinks "I'd hate to see what would happen if Otis and Pinkie crossed paths.... One party pony and two party birds is enough!"
Holo was eating a few apples.
Danyelle asks "It’s not him, is it?"
Lillian spoke "I’m talking about Shirou."
Danyelle spoke "Can't be Shirou... the paws of his Ginrou form are smaller..."
Lillian asks "Then who made them?!"
Holo held up a paw, exposing the size of it.
*Later*
Rusty was comforting his crying sister since Nightmare Night had been cancelled.
Lillian spoke "Well that went poorly."
Danyelle spoke "I'll go talk to her since I'm the one that writes letters to her, come along Dusk."
Danyelle heads off to where Luna was with Dusk.
Danyelle asks "You okay Luna?"
Luna just sighed in sadness before Danyelle felt a shadow loom over her, looking behind to see Shirou accompanied by Michiru and Nazuna.
Dusk asks "If it's n-not too much trouble, c-could you bring back Nightmare Night?"
There was no response from Luna.
Danyelle spoke "For the love of Amaterasu, snap out of it Princess Luna! Several children are upset that Nightmare Night is cancelled. Even two of my daughters are crying as well. And the foals that are sick won't be able to enjoy any candy. Do you want them to be sad?"
Pinkie asks "Something wrong?"
Shirou spoke "Pink one, Luna is sad since nopony likes her."
Pinkie spoke "Wait, is it because of everyone think she’s Nightmare Moon? Well, on Nightmare Night, it’s really fun to be scared!"
Unfortunately, Luna didn’t hear that, but it gave everyone else a plan.
Danyelle whispers into Pinkie's ear.
Shirou spoke "Some of us are not familiar with it though."
Twilight spoke "Don’t worry, I think I know what will help."
Nazuna asks "How?"
Twilight told the plan to everyone else, but yet again, Luna couldn’t hear it.
Danyelle whispers "You sure about this Twilight?"
Twilight spoke "Absolutely."
Pulling out a blindfold from her tail fur and putting it around Luna's eyes, Danyelle spoke "You guys go on ahead, I'll bring Luna."
Shirou spoke "I hope you know what you’re doing."
Danyelle spoke "Yeah, we're gonna show her that it's okay to be scared. Mind letting Holo know about the plan? She'll need to be in on the idea."
Lillian spoke "Okay."
Danyelle spoke "Yeah."
Danyelle pulls Luna along as she followed the others.
*Later, at the Nightmare Moon Statue…*
Danyelle was nowhere to be seen since she was planning to spook her friends, even Renee and Gadget were hiding too.
Rusty sighs "goodbye Nightmare Night..."
Shortly after Rusty puts the bag of candy down, three howls ring loud before a fourth one was heard.
"Nightmare Moon" spoke "[booming voice] Citizens of Ponyville! You were wise to bring this candy to me. I am pleased with your offering. So pleased that I may just eat it... instead of eating you! However, my wolves aren't pleased!"
A scruffy Danyelle swoops down and snatches up Zecora who started to scream.
Then a shining blue-white giant wolf appeared, scaring others more.
A pair of large she-wolves appear, scaring Sonic and Lune senseless.
Holo was staring at Applejack with a somewhat feral look.
Myuri was drooling at the sight of the pile of candy.
The others scream and run off.
Danyelle chuckles "That went just as planned."
Twilight spoke "Without a doubt."
Luna reverts back to her normal self before spitting out the fake teeth.
Luna spoke "I am not certain that did what you meant for it to do, Twilight Sparkle."
Shirou gives Luna a nuzzle.
Shirou spoke "Luna, you're not that bad mare anymore. You're you."
Danyelle asks "Did we overdo it though?"
Pip asks "Um… Princess Luna?"
Luna asks "Yes young one?"
Pip spoke "Um… My first Nightmare Night was really fun, even if it was the last one."
Luna asks "Child. Art thou saying that thou... likest me to scare you?"
Pip spoke "Um… Yes. Because all scares on Nightmare Night are for good fun."
Luna spoke "Well then. We shall have to bring [booming voice] Nightmare Night back!!"
Everyone else smiled at that.
Holo and Myuri were both wagging their tail in happiness.
Shirou chuckles "Heh, guess that plan of yours worked after all."
Smoothing her fur back down, Danyelle spoke "Most definitely, we should do this again next year!"
Holo chuckles "And the look on the apple mare's face was priceless!"
But above them, when Rainbow Dash about to jump scare them with lightning, lightning struck her, scaring the prankster away.
Danyelle laughs "Good one Luna!"
Holo chuckles "Serves her right for trying to scare two-tailed cat."
And so, the group enjoys the rest of Nightmare Night.
