Nightmare Night Planner for... what year is it again?
Not important. Ahem. Costumes are sorted out properly. I’ve got a flowing rainbow inside, gleaming white outside uniform--same theme for the hair. Hopefully the radiance won’t blind ponies tonight. Luna’s done up her hair in a ponytail and has some comically large angled orange glasses. Her voice is still in peak condition. We'll need that tonight.
Note to self: Luna was right. Anime WAS a good idea for us this year.
Sunny and Moony are also going, but chose their own costumes. They decided on plants: Sunny went with a happy sunflower, and Moony went with a pumpkin. I tried to argue against those choices, but Sunny was too happy (almost with a facade of some kind... it's probably nothing) and Moony was too cute hiding in one, so I let it slide.
The plan is simple: We take Canterlot, the clones take Ponyville. We acquire candy through any legitimate means necessary. No theft from other competition or handouts--dropped candy bags are NOT fair game if left unattended. This MUST be stressed with them so we keep it fair.
...should I tell them about the corn maze? Nah, they’ll find it on their own. Hopefully Granny’s kept the scares on par with last year. Or maybe it's better tonight? I'm sure the clones will tell us how that goes.
Anyway, we’ll enjoy our respective festivities as we see fit. At the end of the night, we meet in the throne room for a routine candy swap, board games (ensure Spooks and Adders is among the choices), and a horror film provided by Luna.
Second note to self: quintuple-soundproof the throne room. Double wasn’t enough last year.
Lastly, don’t forget to ensure the friendly headless spectral being haunting the west wing gets their proper decorative pumpkin head this time--zucchini was a horrid idea, as they were subject to too many "why the long face" jokes. That was not a good year.
Wait, one more very important note: double-check the Royal Handler’s locks on his cage tonight. If he breaks out, we won’t be here to properly contain him, and gods know his first target will be the nearest orchard. Granny will NOT let me get off easy if he gets all over their fruit. So we MUST lock the cage. LOCK. IT.
And the windows. The Pink One also likes to come tonight. I can see her now--NO! I am not handing out candy this year, Pinkie! Get out!
Alright... Alright, that should do it. Hopefully I’m not forgetting anything, including this reminder note when we--
Wait, it’s time already?! H-Hang on, I need to get dressed, Luna!
I know I should've gotten dressed first! I’m hurrying! We can’t let our clones beat us in the big candy haul!
Buckets? No no, I told you we need pillowcases! We must always prepare for the best case scenario!
*sigh* As usual, they don't follow the rules...
Anyway, since the episode was kinda leaked way earlier, I'll just... uh, leak this one a day early. I hope you had a happy Nightmare Night, dear readers! And may your candy bounties ever be good and plenty.

Nightmare Night! What a fright! Give us something sweet to bite!
Happy Nightmare Night everypony!!
Awesome chapter as always...
Also, FIRST
I saw the episode back when it leaked.
I read this letter, and now I need to take a leak.
After giving out candy, we are left with one unopened bag of fun-sized twix.
funny chapter as always. Also love the picture! She's so cute!
My parents always made sure I used a pillowcase. And then Mom would eat about half of my candy.
In any case, I do love the idea of Celestia as Ragyo Kiryuin, and all of the spooky goings on in the castle. You can't have the same house for centuries without accruing a little supernatural baggage.
YAY for leaked episodes!
Soo... you're telling me that Luna has the drill-horn that will PIERCE THE HEAVENS? Also there was probably something about the moon.
When Flutter bat attacked it wasn't the episode that only leaked!
Sorry I sorta leaked all over Rarity. . .
It wasn't the first time Spike was my shield
Wut?
Hiiiissssssssssssssssk
HNNNG!
Celestia as Ryugo and Luna as
Chouginga Gurren LagannKamina? I'd like to see that fight. Personally, I'd be rooting for Luna.It amuses me to no end that Celestia functions under the delusion that locking the windows will somehow help her...
I'm not sure if leaving Sunny and Moony unattended will do any good. They could cause some trouble in the corn maze.
Moony: I'm the Great Pumpkin!
Sunny: And I'm the cutest sunflower ever! I'll share some love with you, Moony, with friendliness pellets!
Moony:
Sunny: What's wrong? Don't you want some love? (grabs a random pony in the corn maze) Hey you! Do you want some love? I'll give you some, with friendliness pellets! (awkward smile)
(Random pony runs away)
Sunny: Geez, tough crowd....
Moony: Don't make that reference ever again....
Can I just say dawwwww woona in a pumpkin!!!!!!!
Why do I now want to see Luna spouting Kamina quotes in the Royal Voice?
As long as she doesn't start handing out "friendliness pellets", I'm sure we'll all be fine.
(EDIT: Beaten to the punch, yet again.)
This was a fun one, I kind of like that it was only tangentially related to the episode and instead just gave us a little insight into the escapades of the Royal Sisters (though now I think about it, a letter to Granny regarding the situation with the corn maze would've probably been fun too - something about having an open tunnel network directly underneath, even before Fluttershy decided to make use of it, seems a little irresponsible).
Looking forward to more - it's Discord next week, right? That should yield some... interesting results.
Sunbutt went as one of the most insane, evil, incestuous-rapist, demonic villainesses of all time? Am I the only one that feels like this might be some form of hint at her not being quite as benevolent as she would have us believe she is?

Well... Luna was a villain for the longest time. Perhaps they wanted a little role reversal?
To HELL w the Princesses' Puny Pillowcases! WASHTUBS!! Better yet, BATHTUBS!
Huh surprise Luna didn't get mad about the "Pin the horn on ugly Nightmare Moon." game

For this story, you may be right - for now.
But DeviantArt proofs you wrong, methinks.
6612547 Not what I was referencing. As a pitiful reward, would you like some extra time in the ball pit?
I'm caught up now! Yay! binge read it all in 3 days. Maybe 4? Guess there is an upside to being unemployed.
Some pony should occasionally slap Fluttershy with a rolled up newspaper to reset her mind when she goes off on ridiculous tangents. But... it's Fluttershy. sigh
6615310 Severus Snape probably should have been Sorted into Gryffindor, given his extremely brave actions later.

I don't doubt that
The joys of writing with TK!
I can't not think of Sunny and Moony as too little foals that Celestia and Luna take care of. Their antics are so childish
6616050 I also wouldn't call Peter Petegrew particularly brave. He's more of a Slitherin, with his cunning and diseption abilities.
Oh wow, Celestia as Ragyō? That is a fantastic choice! I'd love to see fanart of that ^_^
I swear, anymore noodle incidents and Celestia will be able to make spaghetti.
Good chapter, as always.
