Night 1

WHAT SORT OF... [Luna flinches as her "traditional Canterlot voice" (or what's left of it here) bounces back at her. Curse the acoustics of this place!]

[She tries again.] What sort of trickery is this? We have done our penance. Nightmare Moon is no more. We have reconciled with our sister. We are loved once more by our subjects! WE DEMAN-... [Ow, the ears. She’ll remember this eventually.]

We demand to know who is responsible for trapping us among the stars once again! [Luna stomps a hoof for emphasis. When there is no immediate answer, she sits down and pouts a little.]

...thou were dressed as a chicken and had the children running in fear from me.

...Somehow I can see that from you, Pinkie Pie. Sorry.

But why would you have them run away from....er, what's your name?

Well, Nightmare Night's all about getting candy and then Nightmare Moon comes to - OHMYGOSH! Luna! You would be a GREAT Nightmare Moon! That would be SO much fun, you TOTALLY have to come next time!

Oh, but I wasn't a chicken last year! I was a sea pony! I waaaaas thinking about maybe being a chicken this year, but then I came here and they didn't have any chicken suits so I was a Joker instead!

[Turns to Minako.] Indeed! Although we cannot complain. Her antics did have a positive effect by the end of the night. I am Luna, princess of the night.

[...and back to Pinkie.] We are certain thou were a chicken. And we were Nightmare Moon. ...on Nightmare Night, that is. Thou has forgotten?

[Blink.]

Pinkie Pie doesn't remember being a chicken?...

[At this, she looks thoughtful.]

Nnnnnopey-dopey, I was definitely a sea pony! I arranged a whole song and everything! I've never ever dressed as a chicken before...

Maybe you met an IMPOSTOR!

...we find that unlikely.

[verygassy.livejournal.com]

[That definitely gives Minako pause.]

...Pinkie Pie, what's the last thing you remember happening before you arrived here?

Oh, that's easy! I was baking cupcakes! It was the day after the Grand Galloping Gala, and even though we ended up having a really REALLY fun night all by ourselves I thought everypony might still be a little disappointed by what a totally boring party it turned out to be, so I thought I'd throw a This-Is-Totally-Better-Than-The-Gala-Anyway Party! Hey, maybe once everypony else gets here I'll throw it for real! After the giant welcome party, of course, that has to come first!

But... the Gala was some time ago.
