Story
Introduction
Good evening, and welcome to the third edition of the Canterlot Museum's Annual Nightmare Night Fundraiser Gala! Thanks for arriving in your most beautiful costumes!
I'm back on this side of the mirror to sub in for Starlight Glimmer, who LOVES this event, but... uh... It says here she "needs a year off from the exhibits coming to life."
Well, uh... I'm sure the staff has taken precautions against... whatever that's about. Anyway, THIS exhibit is about the traditions and folklore of Nightmare Night!
And the centerpiece is this scroll here, from DEEP in the museum's archives. It's written in a dead language, but experts say it's likely about the true meaning of the holiday!
Oh, and they also say that nopony should EVER, under ANY circumstances, read it out loud--
... Um. Oops?
After 1st stage
... Okay! That was... horrifying? A lot more so than the FAKE forest full of informative placards about how darkened woodlands can be a way to confront ponies' fears safely...
... Or... uh... This deep dive on the behind-the-scenes of a typical Ponyville-area haunted house! Which... is now just a REGULAR haunted house. (I'm starting to see what Starlight was talking about...)
After 2nd stage
Oh! See? This -- THIS room should be fine. I asked the good folks at Sugarcube Corner to whip up some pastries, sweets and candy apples for everypony to en--
HISSSSSSSSSS
Yep, looks like the pastries came to life again. Wouldn't be the first time! What'd ya say, Big Mac -- ya think a gold old-fashioned eatin' contest would fix this?
Eeee-yup!
After 3rd stage
Ooogh... I'm stuffed. But... uh... moving on, I guess... Dance has ALWAYS been a big part of Nightmare Night folklore, so a dance floor was a must!
... Except for the part where the dance floor is haunted, and challenges anyone near it to a dance-off. THAT part is just happening now.
THIS IS AMAZING!!! C'mon, Sunset! It's DANCE-OFF TIME!!!
Know what...? You're right! It'll be a great opportunity to burn off all this energy I got from eating those pastries...
After 4th stage
Phew! That was... not all that terrifying! And bonus: The apple-bobbing pool looks pretty normal, too--
Ah-ah-ah... I wouldn't be so certain, darling. SOMEONE has clearly taken bites out of all the apples! Dreadfully unsanitary, you know--
... Ah. And... I see now it's because the pool is currently filled with SWAMP MONSTERS. Sunset, I believe I'll leave this matter in your capable hooves!
After 5th stage
*huff* ... *puff* ... Okay! I... definitely don't remember those webs being so huge when we put them up.
Me either! But I'm sure those giant spiders over there will gladly explain to us what happened, if we ask politely.
... Oh. Um... Fluttershy? Those spiders... don't look very friendly.
Hmm... Well, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, Sunset... But you might be right. In that case, let's try to teach them to respect our boundaries as ponies!
After 6th stage
Okay... this is the last exhibit that's still "alive"... It was supposed to be about Nightmare Moon, but... I don't see her anywhere!
I am RIGHT HERE, Sunset Shimmer. If that counts!
Thank you, Princess Luna, but it doesn't -- and I mean that as a compliment. Everypony knows you've grown past your Nightmare Moon days!
But it DOES mean we need to be on our guard for if-- OH NO! THE NIGHTMARE MOON WAX FIGURE JUST CAME TO LIFE!!!
After 7th stage
(Hooo...) We did it, everypony! The second we triumphed over that fake Nightmare Moon, everything went back to normal!
Hooray! Finally, a chance to ACTUALLY learn about the traditions and folklore of Nightmare Night! Aheh... Without reading anything out loud this time, though.
Ending
Everything that happened aside... You did amazing work on this gala, Sunset! I can't wait for you to host the FOURTH annual version next year!
Um... Yeah. Maybe you should ask Starlight Glimmer instead. After tonight, I've had just about enough curses for one lifetime!
