Night of the Living Apples started on October 19, 2018 and ended on November 2, 2018 and is a Holiday Event for Halloween. It was also active from July 18, 2019 to July 25, 2019.
Pinkie Pie: You know... if there's one thing I don't like about how evil sentient apples came to life and took over Ponyville and are gonna conquer the rest of Equestria... Well, it's EVERYTHING!
Applejack: Uh... You don't have to tell US that, Pinkie. That's why we're all hidin' down here in Fluttershy's root cellar! Remember?
Pinkie Pie: Of course I do! But SOMEPONY needs to do the exposition, don't they? THIS ADVENTURE ISN'T GONNA SUMMARIZE ITSELF, BY CRIMINY!
Twilight Sparkle: Um... anyway. I don't like all this, either... but I have an idea about how we can fix it.
| Quest #1: Really in a Jam | |||

Applejack: Did you say "turn a pony into an apple"? 'Cause I'm ready as I'll ever be to--!
Twilight Sparkle: Not you, Applejack. I think we need to send Pinkie Pie.
Applejack: What?! But I know apples better than any of y'all!
Twilight Sparkle: Yes, but Pinkie Pie is much better at sneaking -- and getting into places she shouldn't.
Pinkie Pie: AND DISGUISES!!! Maybe I should get a mustache...
Twilight Sparkle: (And let's be honest, Applejack: She's closer to a vegatable than you are.)

Apple Pinkie Pie: Pssssst! Spike!!!
Grown-Up Spike: Oh, no... it's one of the guards. Give it up, apple! You won't get anything out of me except my name, rank, and serial number... and I don't even have those last two things!
Apple Pinkie Pie: Spike -- it's me, Pinkie Pie! I'm just disguised as an apple now -- I promise! Cross my heart, hope to fly, sticka cupcake in my eye!
Grown-Up Spike: Pinkie's Promise... I believe you -- now get me out of here! I'm starting to go stir-crazy already!
Apple Pinkie Pie: You betcha, Spikey-Wikey! I'll just bounce up to this lock here and... Hrrrngh... Mpfff...

Good Apple: It is no use, Pink Apple... Only a true apple can open that cage.
Apple Pinkie Pie: Only Apples can use apple products? That seems really limiting to me... Wait. Just who ARE you, anyway? And why are you locked up like Spike?
Good Apple: Call me... Good Apple. For that is my name... The force that created us... created me differently. I am not like my brother and sister Apples. I don't yearn for conquest the way they do...
Apple Pinkie Pie: Okay!
Good Apple: ... And they only seek war because Bad Apple is leading them. My first memory is of a battle between siblings... and then we found ourselves HERE.
Apple Pinkie Pie: Okay...
Good Apple: ... And while I was trying to find out WHERE we were, Bad Apple rallied my fellow Apples to his side, and...

Pinkie Pie: ZzzzzSNRK! Oh... uh... absolutely! What an extremely long and very interesting backstory that I definitely listened to all of. Now, if we could just get back to breaking you out--
Apple Infantry: HEY! What's that pony doing with the prisoner?! Someone GET HER!!!
Pinkie Pie: ... Aw, muffins. I turned back into a pony in the middle of Good Apple's story, didn't I?

Apple Infantry: Hold it right there! You're not going ANYWHERE.
Pinkie Pie: Am I, though? Your job is to keep ponies from ENTERING the camp without permission, right? Well, I'm not trying to ENTER. I'm trying to leave!
Apple Infantry: Hmm... You DO have a point. Bad Apple was pretty clear! ?No one gets in."
Pinkie Pie: EXACTLY! You CERTAINLY wouldn't want to overstep your authority here, would you? That way lies anarchy!
Apple Infantry: ... It does! You know what? Sure! Go ahead.

Twilight Sparkle: You made it back! But... where's Spike?
Pinkie Pie: I couldn't get him free in time... I'm sorry. But I met a very different Apple who might be able to help us!
Applejack: Well, that makes at least ONE Apple who doesn't wanna conquer Equestria... Y'know, I've never actually missed those vampire fruit bats before, but now I wish they'd come back.
Applejack: Say, Fluttershy... Could YOU get a message to them? We could enlist them to eat up all those Apples, and--
Fluttershy: I wish I could... but I'm not sure I could even communicate with them... The only time I spoke anything close to their language was when I was one of them!
Twilight Sparkle: Wait... That gives me an idea. TWO ideas, in fact! We don't need the fruit bats -- we have the next best thing!

Twilight Sparkle: Don't worry... That's just the first half of my plan. Unfortunately, Flutterbat is too wild and too much of a monster to be truly useful...
Twilight Sparkle: ...But I can use her as a template for a shape-changing spell to turn us into vampire ponies. And unlike Flutterbat, we'd still retain our personalities and intelligence.

Fluttershy: You're nothing but an animal... but I know how to talk to animals.
Flutterbat: I... I... Wait. I'm me... I'm Fluttershy! I'm the one in charge again... Well, pretty much, at least. (Even if I DID break my restraints while I was talking to myself...)

Flutterbat: Now, my fruit bat friends! GET THEM!
Twilight Sparkling: Fluttershy?! Is that you? You... you're helping us! What happened?!
Flutterbat: While I was tied up, I had lots of time to think... and to fight for control over my vampire self. And I think I finally got it!
Flutterbat: But best of all... Do you see that flock of vampire fruit bats? In this form, I can talk to them! And they've agreed to help us fight back against Bad Apple and his army!

Grown-Up Spike: Oh -- I know! I know! There's this meteor that landed in the orchard... that's what changed the apples! I heard them talking about it when I was locked up...
Twilight Sparkling: So... you're saying if we destroy that meteor, it might stop bringing new apples to life? That's a great idea!
Twilight Sparkling: Now that the Apples ran off, that meteor should be unguarded, too... Let's regroup and make a coordinated assault on it as soon as we can.
