"-instead of eating you-ou!" Shrieks were followed by laughter as the princess of the night dropped her Nightmare Moon disguise and found a little spot among the giggling foals.

"Can we have some of the candy now?" Sweetie Belle reached out with a little hoof, several other little hooves quickly joining hers to rummage through the pile, quickly laying claim to some of their personal favorites.

"Oh, oh! There's some of the new stuff!" An excited Scootaloo dragged a small paper satchel from the mass of candy, the others in the little cluster suddenly returning to frantic digging. It wasn't long until each of the little ones had acquired themselves a similar baggy.

"By golly! I didn't know anypony was handing these out! Greatest Nightmare Night Ever!" A small pinto colt eagerly exclaimed, extending a colorful paper packet in Luna's direction. "You should try it, princess! They only make it here!"

A new treat? Equestria had become a true font of new experiences since the princess had returned from her lunar exile. Even to this very day, new things popped out at her on a near-weekly basis. For a moment, Luna left the curious candy levitating in the aura of her magic while a chorus of ripping noises announced the foals digging into theirs.

"Lero and Twilight came up with it. Bon Bon makes it but she can't without their help and it's very tiring to make so they can't make much. I thought there wouldn't be any this Nightmare Night," Sweetie Belle murmured through partially-closed lips.

"You're supposed to put the stuff inside on your tongue, princess!" Pipsqueak eagerly exclaimed, demonstrating that very method all too eagerly.

After only a moment's hesitation, Luna echoed her little fan's motions, peeling a strip of paper from the satchel's top and pouring the lumpy powder within upon her tongue. Slowly, she felt her mouth fill with saliva and sweetness.

Fizzzzzzzpppppfzzzppppppfffppp!

Luna's eyes went wide. It was true that it had been an abysmally long stretch of years since she had a unicorn lover, but it had not been so long she'd forgotten that particular texture!

--------------------------------------------------

The princess of the dawn, Celestia, glorious alicorn and diarch of the Equestria startled awake as a familiar blue alicorn popped into existence at her bedside, shaking a paper baggy of some kind in Celestia's face. "W-wha? Luna, why do you disturb me at-"

"Sister dearest, We have reason to believe thine favored student may be a pervert! Look upon this candy she 'created' with the aid of her mate, these 'Pop Rocks'. When placed upon the tongue they-"

Ffffssshhppppssssssssssh!

Luna's rant came to a halt mid-sentence as she looked upon her sister and the ruptured satchel she was now holding. Her sister, the white alicorn, who now had a very distinct pink cast to her otherwise-blemishless cheeks.

"Ah, ehm..." Celestia coughed, but didn't spit out the rocks still fizzing in her mouth, "...you said 'new candy'. My dearest student made this?"

"Yes, and it was being granted to the little ones on my be-favored holiday. This is-"

"Not like my student at all. There must have been a mistake, dearest Luna. I'll go talk to her."

--------------------------

Twilight Sparkle smiled, "Oh, did you like it, princess? I would've offered you some, but we're barely producing enough for it to be anything more than a special treat just here in Ponyville. It's really tiring to make, but with Lero's wonderful hands and relentless motivation, I managed to push myself hard enough to get it ready for Nightmare Night. The first batch was easy enough, but oh, by the fifteenth, my horn was so sore! Maybe I should get Lyra to help next time.

...

Princess? W-why are you glaring like that? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"
