12. Happy Nightmare Night, Granny Smith.Copy !req
13. I should have been
asleep five hours ago.Copy !req
14. Pipsqueak the Pirate, at your service.
It's my very first Nightmare Night.Copy !req
15. Since you moved here from Trottingham?Copy !req
16. No. My very first Nightmare Night ever!Copy !req
17. Enough chitchat! Time is candy!Copy !req
18. Pinkie Pie, aren't you
a little old for this?Copy !req
19. Too old for free candy?Copy !req
20. Never!Copy !req
21. Do you like it?Copy !req
22. Yeah! Great costume, Twilight.Copy !req
23. Oh, you make a fantastic weirdo clown.Copy !req

25. Look at the borders on these robes.Copy !req
26. These are hoof-stitched!Copy !req
27. It's a great costume.Copy !req
28. grandpa.Copy !req
29. Star Swirl the Bearded is only the most
important conjurer of the pre-classical era.Copy !req
30. He created more than two hundred spells.Copy !req
31. He even has a shelf in the Canterlot
library of magic named after him.Copy !req
32. Maybe I should start up a pony group
to teach ponies of our history.Copy !req
33. I bet everypony would love it.
Don't you, Spike?Copy !req
34. I love it.Copy !req
35. Hey, look. We're here already.Copy !req
36. Should we get something to eat?Copy !req

41. And then we had to stop and wait
for Granny Smith and...Copy !req

bobbin' for an apple?Copy !req
51. Thank you, everypony.Copy !req
52. And welcome to
the Nightmare Night Festival.Copy !req
53. Now, all the little ponies, who
have been out collecting sweets...Copy !req
54. should follow our friend Zecora
to hear the legend of...Copy !req
55. Nightmare Moooon!Copy !req
56. Spooky voice might work better
if she wasn't dressed like that.Copy !req
57. Follow me and very soon
You'll hear the tale of Nightmare Moon.Copy !req
58. Listen close, my little dears.
I'll tell you where you got your fears.Copy !req
59. Of Nightmare Night, so dark and scary.Copy !req
60. Of Nightmare Moon, who makes you wary.Copy !req
61. Every year we put on a disguise
To save ourselves from her searching eyes.Copy !req
62. The Nightmare Moon wants just one thing:Copy !req
63. To gobble up ponies in one quick swing!Copy !req
64. Hungrily she soars the sky.
If she sees nopony, she passes by.Copy !req
65. So if she comes and all is clear,
Equestria is safe another year!Copy !req
66. Um... Miss Zecora.Copy !req
67. If we wear costumes to hide
from Nightmare Moon...Copy !req
68. so she won't gobble us up...Copy !req
69. how come we still need to
give her some of our candy?Copy !req
70. A perfect question, my little friend!
For Nightmare Moon you must not offend.Copy !req
71. Fill up her belly with a treat or two...Copy !req
72. So she won't return to come eat YOUUU!Copy !req
73. Everypony! Just dump some
candy and get outta here!Copy !req
74. IT'S NIGHTMARE MOON! RUUUN!Copy !req
75. Princess Luna!Copy !req
76. CITIZENS OF PONYVILLE!Copy !req
77. VILLAGE WITH OUR PRESENCE...Copy !req
78. SO THAT YOU MIGHT BEHOLD
THE REAL PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT!Copy !req
79. NO LONGER, BUT INSTEAD...Copy !req
80. A PONY WHO DESIRES
YOUR LOVE AND ADMIRATION.Copy !req
81. THIS DREADFUL CELEBRATION...Copy !req
82. INTO A BRIGHT AND
GLORIOUS FEEEAST!Copy !req
83. Did you hear that, everypony?Copy !req
84. Nightmare Moon says
she's gonna feast on us all!Copy !req
85. What?Copy !req
86. No, children, no! You no longer
have reason to fear us.Copy !req
87. Screams of delight is
what your princess desires.Copy !req
88. Not screams of terror.Copy !req
89. Madame Mayor.Copy !req
90. Thy princess of the night hath arrived.Copy !req
91. What is the matter with you?Copy !req
92. Very well then! Be that way!Copy !req
93. We won't even bother with
the traditional royal farewell.Copy !req
94. I'm gonna go talk to her.Copy !req
95. You can't talk to her!
She's Nightmare Moon!Copy !req
96. No, she's not.Copy !req
97. I saw the Elements of Harmony
change her back to good.Copy !req
98. But it seems like she's having
some trouble adjusting...Copy !req
99. after being gone
for a thousand years.Copy !req
100. Princess Luna?Copy !req
101. Hi. My name is...Copy !req
102. Star Swirl the Bearded.Copy !req
103. Commendable costume.
Thou even got the bells right.Copy !req
104. Thank you, finally! Somepony
who gets my costume.Copy !req
105. Uh... I just came to welcome you
to our celebration.Copy !req
106. My actual name is...Copy !req
107. Twilight Sparkle.Copy !req
108. THE POWERS OF HARMONY UPON US...Copy !req
109. AND TOOK AWAY OUR DARK POWERS!Copy !req
110. And that was a good thing, right?Copy !req
111. But of course! We
could not be happier.Copy !req
112. Is that not clear?Copy !req
113. Well, you kind of sound
like you're yelling at me.Copy !req
114. But this is the traditional
royal Canterlot voice.Copy !req
115. It is tradition to speak
using the royal "we"...Copy !req
116. and to use THIS MUCH VOLUME
WHEN ADDRESSING OUR SUBJECTS!Copy !req
117. You know, that might explain why
your appearance was met with...Copy !req
118. mixed results.Copy !req
119. I think if you just changed
your approach a bit...Copy !req
120. you might be met
with a warmer reception.Copy !req
121. CHANGE OUR APPROACH?Copy !req
122. Or the volume.Copy !req
123. Oh. We have been locked away
for a thousand years.Copy !req
124. We are... not sure we can.Copy !req
125. Don't worry, princess. Fluttershy
can give you some great pointers.Copy !req
126. She's delicate and demure
with the sweetest little voice.Copy !req
127. GO AWAY! NO CANDY HERE! VISITORS
NOT WELCOME ON NIGHTMARE NIGHT!Copy !req
128. Fluttershy, it's me, Twilight!Copy !req
129. It is you.Copy !req
130. Ah, and Nightmare Moon.Copy !req
131. Nightmare Moon?Copy !req
132. Wait right here.Copy !req
133. Fluttershy... you remember Princess Luna?Copy !req
134. CHARMED!Copy !req
135. Likewise...Copy !req

can't scream when she GOBBLES HER UP!Copy !req
159. NAY, CHILDREN, WAIT!Copy !req
160. I mean... nay, children, wait.Copy !req
161. Come on, princess. Time for plan B.Copy !req
162. It is of no use, Twilight Sparkle.Copy !req
163. They have never liked us
and they never shall.Copy !req
164. My friend Applejack is one of the
most likeable ponies around.Copy !req
165. I'm sure she'll have some ideas.Copy !req
166. Heee...!Copy !req
167. Whoop. Careful there, partner.Copy !req
168. Uh... Applejack.Copy !req
169. The princess is looking for a little
advice on how to fit in around here.Copy !req
170. "Fit in"? Really?Copy !req
171. I mean... that's easy!Copy !req
172. All you gotta do is have
the right attitude.Copy !req

297. "She taught me that one of the best
things you can do with friendship..."Copy !req

you'll discover a whole new pony underneath."Copy !req

the best Nightmare Night ever."Copy !req
