Vice-Principal Luna recycled her old metal rock band outfit for this year's Costume Carnival... an outfit that gives her a passing resemblance to another world's Nightmare Moon.
Then, when she leans against the wrong mirror, that resemblance becomes more than passing.
Just more magical shenanigans at Canterlot High.

I regret nothing!
Did you mean a paper bag here?
cool
As much fun as the rest of the story was, this was my favorite line.
Star Swirl.
A bit rushed, but hilarious.
i love it this is grate.
now we need a Christmas special of some kind.
Need more of Luna and magical shenanigans

I'm pretty sure that was intentional. Sun Swirl is the name of the instrument, not the instrument's maker.
I don't care if it was rushed, this is hilarious! I especially love pony Luna's "ain't got time for this shit" attitude.
Technically rear hooves are fingertips too and MLP pony's "foot" makes most part of rear leg's length

I do believe we need to have Principal Luna and pony Rarity jam together and rock the heavens!

Rather than present a complicated argument that I'm right, instead I'll note that it's been edited to "Star Swirl".
Could be a fun concept for a serious story.
Maybe:
In the reality in which, through Starlight's time meddling, Nightmare Moon was slain by her sister, Principle Luna falls through the mirror and ends up in Equestria where a weary Princess Celestia finds her.
Overjoyed to have another chance with her younger sister, Celestia quickly takes the confused alicorn under her wing and swears to give her all the love and attention she failed to give in the past.
Luna, for her part, wants to go home, but misses her chance before the portal closes behind her. Now stuck having to wait thirty moons, Celestia is desperate to use that time to convince this new Luna to stay, all the while trying to combat forces that would seek to tear her world apart.
Probably the Sombra War timeline, if I were to guess.
I'm more amused than I should be that she feels her hooves as middle fingers. Nice detail.
This was fun. It reminds me a little of By The Black Axe of Nightmare Moon, of only for Metal Luna.
I feel like this story is a Code Red.
(It may also be just the tiniest bit Corrupt.)
This is great.
This is funny, I could see it being made into an actual "Equestria Girls" short or at least a fan animation. Good Job!
9247624
I was really expecting Starlight Glimmer to join her on the electric bass.
I have two questions. One, why Star Swirl designed a guitar in the first place. He seems like a violin-type pony. And second, why Twilight has it in her Castle?
Rushed but hilarious. Could do with some to thousand extra words of edited reports, confused shenanigans, metal battles and Luna being too sober for this shit
9247639
Only if it involves VP Nightmare defeating villains BY THE BLACK AXE OF NIGHTMARE MOON!!!
Or by hamming up the metal up to eleven and a half
9247928 (1) The IDW comic had Star Swirl invent a whole bunch of music styles, including rock, to counter the pop stylings of the Sirens/Dazzlings. (2) Because... because STAR SWIRL!
9247943 I just finished a 470,000 word story. I want a break, and I only pushed forward on this story because I didn't want to skip FoME's contest.
To be fair, man, there's no topping the greatest moment in animation history.
Though seeing 'Nimmy' absolutely WRECK the Sirens at some later point would be hilarious.
ADAGIO: "WHAT?! METAL?! NOT EVEN STARSWIRL THE DIMWIT GOT THAT RIGHT!"
NIMMY: "HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO THRASH!"
9247945
Never read those. Were there any crossovers like Deaf Llama, Spears and Roses, or Metallicker?
I love the idea of Principal Celestia having Resting Fairy Godmother Face.
The Twilights as the Shining twins is honestly kind of ingenious. (No relation to their brothers.
)
And with a single jam session, this story became the best thing that ever came out of the sirens' Fiendship is Magic issue.
Twilights having hyperventilation bags makes all of the sense.
The fast pace works given the panicked state of virtually everyone involved. Also, I get the feeling that Luna will be holding an assembly next week... one that will likely end up with a lot of students trying to shove their way into the school statue. Especially Trixie. Thank you very much for the entry.
I hadn't realised the comics stated Star Swirl invented guitars and rock music - just when you thought those comics couldn't get any worse
This story was a lot of fun! I think the guard's report format got a bit old by the third one, but all the prose was enjoyable. Goodness, Luna still feels overshadowed by her sister here. But that's understandable; I'd love a magical fairy chainsaw
I'd think the guitar strings would need changing by that point anyway, if it's that old, even with magical preservation spells. And since we see Rarity, Starlight and Applejack with guitars in Equestria, we can presume new guitar strings aren't too hard to come by
Luna's nickname for Celestia's costume made me laugh. 'Princess Forcible Entry' indeed.
It's nice when authors remember that alicorns possess earth pony strength.
Yet to read, but I know it’s good. Why? Because Kris!
Anyway, I'm going to poke holes in logic now.
I find it silly that Sunset got 1 week's detention over the portal. She doesn't control the portal, and she didn't place the portal. The portal either opens when the moon is right, or when Twilight flips on her portal-forcer-opener. Which would be extremely stupid to close down while she's on the EQG side for obvious reasons.
Luna's being a silly metal head. Or maybe she suffered some after-effects of that concussion she got.
Wow... dis wuz so bucking good!
The nagging selfish voice in my head keeps asking 'why live as a mortal human when a demigod body and powers are literally 10m away from your work', but I guess the human Sisters are satisfied with what they have.
Smoke on the Water?
This was a fun little short. I think the pacing was just about perfect for what it was. Any longer and the joke would have grown a bit thin.
9248434 Or she's just pissed off after being in pain, being awkward, and being terrified out of her mind. Bizarre as it might seem, not everyone wants to be turned into a pony.
9248123 Yeah, there's a reason I stopped the guard reports at three. (Well, two reasons. The joke was getting old, and I finished the story with less than an hour before deadline, so I didn't have time to think up more entries.)
9248008 Sadly, it was mainly a series of visual gags in a two-page spread. It's collected as part of the "Fiendship is Magic" TPB.
9248548 That, Inna Gadda da Vida, Iron Man, all the classics. I toyed with making up new names that people would recognize, but I decided against having more pony pun names stemming from Pedestria.
9248647
Maybe. But I'm leaning towards the concussion.
I don't know why, but it was the "Celestia is a Princess no matter what she's actually dressed as" gag that really got me chuckling. It's just so very her.
Short, but sweet. There may not have been much to this, but there didn't need to be. It delivered magnificently.
9248663
Her specialty:
9248936 "... ninety tons? Tia, there's someone here who thinks I eat as much cake as you do."
Is this evidence that Luna’s reformed look is just an illusion and she really looks like her NMM self underneath? Or does the Mirror just do a basic “Helmet, Cape, Boots, Moon, Check”
This was a pretty fun one, nice theming for an October story too. I like that Luna’s phoning it in is her pulling out her old rocker costume. Moon Princess and the Nightmares! Time to beg for a EqG fic set in the early years.
The only way if think it could be better if upon hearing Vice Principal Moon shred on the guitar, Glimmer in her own Nightmare Night costume pulled out her own axe for a duel.
Though the blasting was funny too, and Princess Luna’s utterly calm defusing.
I imagine a bit of funny fluff compared to months calculating how many pirateninjas a jury-rigged spaceship-rover needs to track across a planet, this story must be relaxing in contrast.
9249092 After a weekend of working a vendor booth at an arcade expo, with all sorts of noise and four hours of driving each day, followed by pushing hard against a deadline to write 3500 coherent words in one evening...
... no, it wasn't fun.
I need to do some script work on Peter is the Wolf, and then I'm taking a significant writing break.
9249130
You should take a rest! It is well deserved. But I hope you know you’ve made great fans like me who would love to hear more of your words when you are ready to write them. ( I hope for Changeling Space Program more than ever now)
But I thank you, sincerely for putting up with the hardship and the work to stick to your guns and make not only a unique story, but keep to that one a day schedule. Utter madness, but the result was a great work of scifi fun that made me and I am sure many others happy to read and experience.
9249130
Wait, that's your comic!?
This was delightful. Beautifully silly. Thank you.
9249429 Yes, I've said as much before.
If anybody asked, Luna was dressed up as Queen of the Night from Mozart's Magic Flute:
This was a fun ride!
