Nightmare Moon Before Halloween

Nightmare Moon before Halloween - The End

Between the land of mystic ware,
laid a nightmare that roamed, with such scare.
In a town that was ravish beyond such fright,
that feel the horrors to bear.
Nightmare Moon proud and tall,
for her dreams were come true at last.

"Fear and hail my wonderful subject,
For I, Nightmare Moon, shall carry your verdict.
Here you shall see, the constant anew,
That even the sun and moon would have the time to argue.
I am your spirit, in these time of festive fright,
For I am Halloween and Nightmare of
Night?"

Abrupt by her speech and pause to glimpse,
Laid a familiar sight of bones and skinny limp.
The monster were instantly stopped in gaze,
To find themselves to be quite amaze.
For appear in front, with a skeletal track,
For his name was familiar, by the sound of...

"Jack? What are you doing here at this time of day?"
Is there something that you want to say?"
Jack coughed and heave a sigh,
For his balance was crooked at evening nigh.
He was crumbled to slouch and hard to stand,
For he was not Jack at all, but some crazy plan.
Beneath from cover, lies a mare in sight,
With Sally to join the evening delight.

The imposter Jack, with bones slightly out of place,
started to speak, with a poor, cheesy and oddly replace:
"My dear, my friend, why you make such a mess?
Your ruining the fun and starting to obsess.
Return all the ghouls and witches and many more,
And return the ways to simple galore."

Though Nightmare listen to surrender such trance,
Another mare, with googly eyes, that lost their chance.
In her wings that fall into an awful crash,
That knock Jack off its bones and its strings attach.
Their plan was quickly foil, more Twilight to worry,
For Nightmare discover that Jack was a bogy.
Nightmare yell, "You cannot stop me; your tricks will not fool,
For I am Halloween and Nightmare of nightly cool."
Then a small glowing light that pierced the darkness.
With her wings that spread to deal the crisis,
Who could it be? ...It was Celestia, the light of fullness.

"That's far enough, Nightmare Moon, your time has come,
For you and your monsters that all have succumb."

With a wave of light her rays were bright as stream,
That foiled Nightmare's reign and shattered her dream.
As Nightmare was down, crumbling from the count,
Then was heard, "Don't you hurt her, you evil trout!"

'Twas by many that heed her call,
Where monsters were gathered and stood rather tall,
From werewolves to skeletons' bones,
To horrid slimes that slightly from another zone.
They gathered and helped the mare of the moon,
For the time was not over, not yet too soon.
The voice came from a little mummy,
Whose wraps were tangled, calling Nightmare her mommy
"Don't you harm her, don't you even dare,
She has enough pain that is too much to bear.
Can't you see that she wanted to change,
Why must you disrupt such arrange."
The moon that shone from midnight cascade,
That made Celestia turned and dismayed.
For once more another repeat of pain,
When she cast her sister, with heart in stain.

Nightmare pulled herself up, with friends of her own,
And from there she reviewed that her dream was blown.
Then at last the light arrived its morning dawn,
For Nightmare Moon and Jackies peers were lastly sawn.
"I thought I be the Spirit of Halloween, I had such belief.
Nightmare laid down and filled with great grief.
Unable to bear, she was stained with fear,
Then at long last she crumbled and shed into tear.
As Nightmare Moon crumbled on the ground.
She suddenly heard a familiar sound.

"My dear Nightmare Moon," said Jack, "I applaud your wondrous role,
And I know you follow the steps of scaring, that was a noble goal.
Don't feel bad about today and don't be so blue,
For you did very well and did exactly what you do.
Understand, my little moon, that being Halloween is not for you,
But you indeed an excellent job that only could do a few.
So for now I must depart, its very nice to meet,
Take care Nightmare Moon, for I shall fleet.
Faded through the shadow and with a wink of an eye,
He said at last, "Happy Halloween," and he bid her goodbye.

Back through the woods, Nightmare felt gloom, but then, with such hysteria,
Jack brought a howling flower in the land of Equestria.
