I write stories and make my own images which aren't currently published anywhere else.

It's the day before Nightmare Night, and Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle are setting up a party in the crystal treehouse formed from the Tree of Harmony to surprise the Young Six. One thing they definitely didn't expect was being the target of Nightmare's newfound power. Especially since she'd been banished and connected to no creature. The dark magic shifts them into three different things, that aren't ponies, or at least not completely. What's best to do, keep it a secret, or hope it's all a nightmare?

Why isn't there a Nightmare Moon tag?

11496881
There's a five-character tag limit. It's been reached. Which is dumb because the CMC tag works for all three, instead of using four tags for just three characters.

Gallus launched himself into the air in surprise, Ocellus changed herself into a mouse, Smolder chuckled at Gallus’ surprised flight, Edith sprang off of Silverstream and almost froze Yona, but ended up turning Sandbar to stone instead, and Silverstream had hardly noticed as she was bursted with delight.

That was a pretty interesting reaction from each of them and it's nice to see Edith again

This is a pretty interesting start of a story a little late for Halloween but whatever sounds pretty cool so it looks like Nightmare Moon is back again planning on Revenge on Celestia but it looks like she got the new Target it was the Cutie Mark Crusaders and she took advantage of possessing the three kids apparently something change of Scootaloo and Apple Bloom but what about Sweetie Belle but it looks like apple bloom got affected pretty badly but they don't have time to think about it because the kids from the school of friendship is here which it was the young six and they look like they were having so much fun but Apple Bloom is starting to change again whatever is happening to her body really is affecting her well let's see how this will go next time this is not bad of your first story so far

It's not Nightmare Moon, it's the evil magic which was corrupting her. So it isn't Nightmare Moon or Nightmare Rarity, just Nightmare.

11496959
Not for Halloween but thanks!

11496967
Oh ok and no problem

11496969
I can see why it might be looked at as Halloween, but I just couldn't think of any former villain better than one who had reasons to stop at nothing now. No redemption, no losses, has magic, isn't a statue, and has probably been assumed to no longer exist, so Nightmare just fit perfectly.

11496991
I see what you mean but it looks like the Cutie Mark Crusader needs help from the young six and any of the friends to help out

11496997
Maybe...
I added Dinky, Pipsqueak, and Starlight because they'll be more important later.

11497001
Were they the original idea before you added the tag

11497023
Starlight yes, I thought about involving Dinky but didn't know how, and then I knew how once I thought about involving Pipsqueak.

11496893
It wasn't because of the character limit.

“I hope it’s soon! I can hardly wait another minute! This is going to be the most awesome Nightmare Night party ever!” A rather energetic, yet also young voice.

This looks like a fragment. This is how I would write it:

“I hope it’s soon! I can hardly wait another minute! This is going to be the most awesome Nightmare Night party ever!” Nightmare heard another young voice. This time it sounded energetic.

But asides that, can't wait for next chapter

11498974
Thanks! I'll fix that so it says said!

“Today we are going to learn about zomponies! The first thing to know about them is that they haven’t been seen for hundreds of years, so they most likely don’t exist anymore.”

Whoa zombie Pony in school wow now that's an interesting topic for an educational

As soon as their hooves touched Apple Bloom’s gave a snap and bent backwards before falling off. Apple Bloom made a big show of screaming in pain, pretending like the fact that half of her leg had fallen off hurt. “Mah leg! It fell off!” She screamed.

You know that kind of reminds me of that show iZombie

Well then that was a pretty intense situation so it looks like a Cutie Mark Crusaders decided to split apart for now until they figure out what's going on with them but Applebloom and Sweetie Belle got them self in the situation that a that rock crocodile attack them but somehow Sweetie Belle somehow use her ability whatever she is but she was also afraid that she will hurt anybody meanwhile Scootaloo and the young six was still continuing of The Nightmare Night and she even ask Ocellus about being a changeling which figured that she will see something but then they discover a couple of blood and Scootaloo got super worried the next morning her worries was gone when she saw them and apparently Apple Bloom is a zombie Pony which that's an interesting situation but what makes things worse now Cheerilee is now talking about zombies which apparently the plant will determine what's the kids are going to do now I guess we'll find out next time

11506529
Never watched it, I've seen snippets when others are watching it though.

11506608
There is a small spoiler in there, not covered by the spoiler tag, which hints at what's going to happen.
Hint: Saddle bags.

11506608
One thing in that is false, regarding Sweetie, I think you might have missed something right after the attack.

Sweetie Belle had panicked, the cragadile had grabbed Apple Bloom’s leg, and she had no idea what to do. The cragadile was a THREAT to both of them, and she knew she had to do something.

She felt her head jerk as Apple Bloom was marked as a THREAT. She took another step backwards, trying to calm the fear of her accidentally harming her friend.

Find that.

Dinky was the first to notice something emerging, and she promptly shrieked. This grabbed the others attention to the horrifying creature. Glowing red eyes were attached to a pitch black skeletal frame, stumbled forward, letting out an eerie moan. Twilight tried to clear the foliage to reach them, but it seemed to be growing even thicker the more she tore away at it. She shot a beam of magic from her horn, and the zompony crumpled to the ground, only for more to take its place.

Music is nice, never watched the show so I don't have any context.

Thanks for the chapter! ^v^ it's very good! Is Sweetie containing Nightmare? I never got to read the comic, so I never got all the context on how that works.

11520419
You don't need the comics, don't worry.
Maybe, you'll see...

11520389
Basically it's about zombies in the movie Scooby-Doo I kind of referenced it because now there's zombie ponies in your story

Well then this was a terror time but it was getting really interesting so everybody was still testing out the flower that Mrs Cheerilee got and Apple Bloom is getting really worried now but luckily Sweetie Belle touch the flower and the flower did not react and the teacher decided to continue the class but after that it looks like Twilight is inviting three young ponies pipsqueak and Apple Bloom and it looks like dinky wants to come along too but unfortunately the journey was an eventful because they were attacked by zombie ponies and Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle heard what was going on and they going to help them despite they're going to blow their cover and the other two young ponies were surprised to see Applebloom got teared apart but she's still alive and found out that she is a zombie Pony and Sweetie Belle use her magic but she's really been scared about that and apparently whatever the nightmare is doing to her is getting much stronger I wonder they're going to find out what to do I guess we'll find out next time

11520590

Sweetie did not use her magic.

I have replaced the tags of Pipsqueak and Dinky with the tag other, the reason being that it wouldn't make sense for how much they will be featured compared to other characters. This doesn't mean that they won't be important, just that I have _________as important as them.

“You didn’t even think of saying anything to me? You just, just…” Rarity huffed, then screamed in rage, and left the room. Sweetie Belle folded her ears down, and Apple Bloom was extremely glad she told her family.

Okay I understand you're a little upset Rarity but right now your younger sister needs your help right now

Okay the situation is getting tougher by every minute and a lot of question needs to be answered as well although I felt like Rarity was a little bit too harsh on Sweetie Belle I get it she didn't tell her about the condition she was in but still Sweetie Belle needs help right now especially they have no idea what kind of magic that smoke affected them and speaking of smoke the nightmare was basically attacking them threatening to kill them but Sweetie Belle unleash her power but almost destroying the place luckily she gained control but she was still afraid that she will hurt anybody so Starlight still have no idea what kind of magic it is and why did the flower failed on sweetie I guess we'll find out next time

11545345
Side note:
Sweetie isn't afraid she will accidently hurt anyone anymore.

It's an interesting story. And I was just writing something about the young 6!

Will someone transform into a wolf pony? Xd

11729688
I don't think anyone is going to be a wolfpony, but imagine the next step up on a basic scale.

“Hi Rarity!” Pinkie shouted, hopping over to her, and somehow not disturbing any of the sewing supplies and fabrics scattered around Rarity’s Inspiration Room. “Did you finish the crystallized crystal dress that looks similar to the crystal castle, the crystal empire, or the crystal Tree of Harmony before it was destroyed by Sombra’s dark crystals because he wanted to destroy our crystal elements of Harmony but couldn’t, yet it’s more like the inside of the castle?” Pinkie asked.

That is a really big huge mouthful Pinkie Pie lol

So a lot of strange thing is happening apparently Scootaloo is still thinking about how different she is from the changelings but she said she's gotten better flying so that's cool but Sweetie Belle is still kind of been in and out lately and she really wanted to tell her older sister Rarity the truth but she couldn't and she really really wanted to tell her so badly because it's been really bugging her but something is trying to stop her for some odd reason and I think it's nightmare who's stopping her and she's controlling her but it looks like Starlight and Luna are going to get to work about this whole situation hopefully they find the truth about it

“Yeah, they were glowing a bright green,” Scotaloo said.

Scootaloo

So it looks like Sweetie Belle finally told Rarity what was going on and she really felt guilty about this whole situation and not knowing what was wrong with Sweetie Belle and they both apologize to each other which that's pretty sweet and I'm glad they work this thing out but it looks like the young six were also talking about how the Cutie Mark Crusaders were acting peculiar so they decided to ask them about it and apparently the three girls are starting to change a lot now they had to explain to these kids about what's going on

11747608
Thanks for catching that!

“We can help you through whatever it is you know,” Smolder said, barely lowering her voice.

I mean they would have helped them out

“I was possessed, and they figured that out,” Sweetie Belle said.

So apparently Sweetie Belle got hit the most out of the three

Click.

Yeah what is that clicking sound

Okay then looks like things are going to get crazy very soon and it's a good thing the kids actually will help out the Cutie Mark Crusaders since they can't do it by themselves and they even explain them about what happened during the event of Nightmare Night and they even told Luna and starlight about the situation as well so the kids decide to go to sweetie Bell's home but unfortunately there was like a clicking sound and what is that anyway

“You’re bragging about your pain?” Sweetie questioned, amusement sparkling in her eyes.

Yeah seriously Scootaloo :facehoof:

11760949
Yep, she was the one right in the center of the spell.

11760981
So the clicking sound is slowly being explained throughout the rest of the story. The next chapter gives a little bit more information. Chapter nine gives just a bit of information as to where it's coming from, but not exactly. Earlier in a blog post I'm sure no one read, I said,

This new chapter will be guaranteed to focus on the clicking, but will also reveal some different changes, not for her of course.

relating to the following chapter, which starts with explaining the clicking as (extra spoiler) psychological fear through the repeating clicks.

It's intended to be confusing, and important although quickly forgotten.
