:Saturday Night – 3 November 2018
:Spike: Ugh, come on, Luna. We're gonna be late for the Nightmare Night's Day festival. Huh? Are you that Norway presidential retirement gentleman?
:Luna: I'm Sweyn Forkbeard! King of Norway as well as the father of Harald Bluetooth and the founding father of the amniomorphic spell! Did you even read that book I gave you about frankly Petrovs' history?
:Spike: Uh.. [knocking] That sounds important. [yelp]
:Vernadian kids: Nightmare Night's Day! What a fright, Brother Luna! Give us something sweet to bite!
:Luna: Hi, kids. Great costumes. [to Mrs. Maria] Happy Nightmare Night's Day, Mrs. Maria.
:Mrs. Maria Applejack: I should have been asleep five hours ago.
:Vincent: Vincent the Pirate – at your service, Luna. Hark, hark! It's my very first Nightmare Night's Day.
:Luna: Vincent, since you moved here from Iceland?
:Vincent: No, my very first Nightmare Night's Day ever!
:Celestia: [chicken squawk] Enough chitchat! Time is candy!
:Luna: Tia, aren't you a little old for this?
:Celestia: Too old for free candy? [chicken squawk] Never!
:Luna: [bell jingles] Do you like it? I am Sweyn Forkbeard!
:Celestia: Yeah! Great costume, Luna! You make a fantastic blonde-haired hero!
:Spike: Prince of Norway! Look at the borders on these robes. These are Norwegian-style hoof-stitched!
:Luna: [growls]
LMB theme song
:Luna: Citizens of Vernadia, Sweyn Forkbeard is only the most important hero of the pre-classical era.
:Citizens of Vernadia: Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
:Luna: He created more than two hundred spells! He even has a shelf in the Canterlot Presidential library of magic named after him. Maybe I should start up a group to teach our people about history. I bet everybody would love it! [to Spike] Don't you, Spike?
:Spike: [chewing candy] Mm-hmm! [eating sounds] I love it!
:Luna: Hey look, we're here already! Should we get something to eat?
:Spike: [burps]
:Celestia: Luna! Luna! Look at our haul! Ah! Can you believe it? And then, we went to Nate's house and got a bunch more goodies from her. Didn't we, Vinny?
:Vincent: Sure did!
:Celestia: And then, we had to stop and wait for Mrs. Maria, and—
: [lightning zap]
:Celestia: [chicken squawk]
:Citizens of Vernadia: [screaming]
:Jason: [laughing maniacally]
:Luna: Jason, that wasn't very nice!
:Jason: Lighten up, old man, Rainbow Dash Knight is here! This is the best night of the year for pranks!
:Luna: Look at Spike! What you did to her!
:Spike: [choking on candy]
:Jason: It's all in good fun. Oh! Oh! There's another group over there!
:[lightning zap]
:Citizens of Vernadia: [screaming]
:Jason: [laughing maniacally]
:[]
:Luna: Happy Nightmare Night's Day, Dennis!
:Dennis: [Latvian accent] Howdy! [normal] Hey, Luna! Nice costume.
:Spike: Thanks, Lady Dennis! I'm the presidential dog.
:Luna: She means me, Spike.
:Dennis: With that beard, I reckon you're some quite Norwegian music singer.
:Luna: [annoyed grunt]
:Spike: [laughs]
:Dennis: While y'all are here, ya feel like bobbin' for an apple?
:[cheering and applauding]
:Mayor Rikardo: Thank you, everybody, and welcome to the Nightmare Night's Day festival!
:[cheering and applauding]
:Mayor Rikardo: Now, all Vernadians who have been out collecting sweets should follow our counterpart gentleman Mr. Jozef Oktarini to hear the legend of... Nightmare Moon!
:[laughter]
:Spike: The spooky voice might work better if he wasn't dressed like that.
:Luna: [giggles]
:Jozef Oktarini: Follow me, and very soon, you'll hear the tale of Nightmare Moon.
:[a few inches later]
:Jozef Oktarini: Listen close, Vernadians, I'll tell you where you got your fears of Nightmare Night's Day, so dark and scary. [blows] Of Nightmare Moon, who makes you wary.
:Citizens of Vernadia: [gasp]
:Jozef Oktarini: Every year, we put on a disguise to save ourselves from her searching eyes.
:Vernadian kids: [screaming]
:Jozef Oktarini: But Nightmare Moon wants just one thing: to gobble up a person in one quick swing!
:Vincent and Celestia: [screaming]
:Jozef Oktarini: Hungrily, she soars the sky. If she sees nobody here in Vernadia, she passes by. So if she comes and all is clear, Petrovburg is safe another year!
:Vincent: Uh, dad, if we wear costumes to hide from Nightmare Moon, so she won't gobble us up, how come we still need to give her some of our candy?
:Jozef Oktarini: A perfect question, Vincent. For Nightmare Moon, we must not offend. [blows] Fill up her big stomach with a treat or two, so she won't return to come to eat us all!
:Celestia: [screaming] Everyone! Just dump some candy and get out of here!
:[thunder]
:[wind whistling]
:Citizens of Vernadia: [screaming]
:Celestia: [gasps] It's Nightmare Moon! Run!
:Citizens of Vernadia: [screaming]
:[thunder]
:Citizens of Vernadia: [screaming, squawking]
:[thunder, lightning, screaming]
:Luna: [awestruck] Mom!
:Pipsqueak the Little Pony: [whimpers]
:Princess Finlandia: [booming voice] Citizens of Vernadia! We have graced our beloved district with our presence so that you might behold the Canterlot Presidential secretary as the real princess of the night! A creature of nightmare is no longer, but instead a person who desires your love and admiration! Together we shall change this dreadful celebration into a bright and glorious feast!
:[thunder, lightning]
:Celestia: Did you hear that, everyone? Nightmare Moon says she's gonna feast on us all!
:Citizens of Vernadia: [screaming]
:Princess Finlandia: [normal voice] What? No, everyone, no! You no longer have reason to fear me! Screams of delight are what this Vernadia princess desires, not screams of terror. [stomps feet] Mr. Rika, the Princess of the Night has arrived.
:Mayor Rikardo: [gasps]
:Dave Hisahide: [gasps]
:Princess Finlandia: What is the matter with you, sir? Very well, then. Be that way. We won't even bother with the presidential farewell.
:Luna: I'm gonna go talk to her.
:Spike: You can't talk to your mother right now! She's Nightmare Moon!
:Luna: No, she's not. I saw the Elements of Harmony change her back to good. But it seems like she's having some trouble adjusting after the Equestrian ancestors being gone for a thousand years.
:[]
:Luna: Mom? Hi, I am...
:Princess Finlandia: Sweyn Forkbeard. Commendable costume. You even got the bells right.
:Luna: Thank you, mom. Finally. Somebody who gets my costume! Uh, I just came to welcome you to this celebration! My actual name is—
:Princess Finlandia: Luna – my son. [booming voice] It was you who unleashed the powers of harmony upon us and took away our dark powers!
:Luna: And that was a good thing, right?
:Princess Finlandia: [normal voice] But of course. We could not be happier. Is that not clear?
:Luna: Well, you kinda sound like you're yelling at me.
:Princess Finlandia: But this is the Canterlot Presidential Voice. It is the tradition to speak using the royal "we" and to use— [booming voice] this much volume when addressing our people!
:Luna: You know, mom, that might explain why your appearance was met with... mixed results. I think if you just changed your approach a bit, you might be met with a warmer reception.
:Princess Finlandia: [booming voice] Change our approach?
:Luna: Lower the volume.
:Princess Finlandia: [normal voice] Ohhh. Our ancestors from Equestria have been locked away for a thousand years. We are... not sure they can.
:[]
:Luna: Don't worry, mom. Aunt Camilla can give you some great pointers. She's delicate and demure with the sweetest voice.
:[knock knock knock knock]
:First Lady Camilla: Go away! No candy here! Visitors are not welcome on Nightmare Night's Day!
:Luna: [nervous laughing] Auntie, it's me, Luna – your grandson.
:First Lady Camilla: It is you, Luna. Ah, and Lady Nightmare Moon. [gasp] Nightmare Moon? [yelps]
:[door slams]
:First Lady Camilla: [nervous laughter] Wait right here.
:[various noises]
:Luna: Auntie... you remember your adoptive mother?
:Princess Finlandia: [booming voice] Charmed.
:First Lady Camilla: Likewise.
:Princess Finlandia: [booming voice] Luna has spoken of the sweetness of your voice. We ask you teach to us to speak as you speak.
:First Lady Camilla: Okay, Finn.
:Princess Finlandia: [booming voice] Shall our lessons begin?
:First Lady Camilla: [whispers] Okay.
:Princess Finlandia: [booming voice] Shall we mimic your voice?
:First Lady Camilla: [quiet] Okay, Finn.
:Princess Finlandia: [booming voice] How is this?
:First Lady Camilla: [hurriedly] Perfect, lesson over!
:[slams into the door after Luna shuts it before he could get back in]
:Luna: A little quieter, mom.
:Princess Finlandia: [booming voice] How is... [loud voice] this?
:Luna: [to Finlandia] Better. [to Camilla] Right, auntie.
:First Lady Camilla: [nervous, dazed laughter] Yes.
:Princess Finlandia: [loud voice] How... about... now?
:Luna: Now you're getting it, mom.
:Princess Finlandia: [normal voice] And… how about now?
:Luna: Yes! Well done.
:Princess Finlandia: [normal voice to Camilla] I thank you, dear granddaughter! Our normal speaking voice shall surely win us the hearts of our Canterlot Presidential students.
:Celestia: Aunt Camilla! You've gotta hide us! Nightmare Moon is here and— [chicken squawk] Ah! She stole Aunt Camilla's voice so she can't scream when she gobbles her up!
:Vernadian kids: [screaming]
:Princess Finlandia: [booming voice] No way, children, wait! [normal voice] I mean... no way, children, no, wait.
:Luna: Come on, mom. Time for plan B.
:Citizens of Vernadia: Ura!
:Vernadian ponies: [whimper]
:Yusuf Honganji: Aah!
:Princess Finlandia: It is of no use, son. They have never liked us and they never shall.
:Luna: Dennis is one of the most likable girls around. I'm sure she'll have some ideas.
:[]
:Pipsqueak the Little Pony: Heee...!
:Dennis: Whoop. Careful there, buddy.
:Luna: Uh... Dennis, our lovely woman is looking for a little advice on how to fit in around here.
:Dennis: "Fit in"? Really?
:Luna: [annoyed grunt]
:Dennis: I mean... that's easy! All you gotta do is have the right attitude. Loosen up a bit, be positive, play a few games, and have some fun.
:Princess Finlandia: Fun? What is this "fun" you speak of? Pray-tell, what purpose do these serve?
:Benedict: Try to land the sp-sp-spiders on the web.
:Dennis: You can do it, ma'am!
:Princess Finlandia: Ha! I enjoy this "fun"! In what other ways may we experience it?
:[]
:Luna: Fire away, mom!
:[watermelon splashes]
:Princess Finlandia: Ha ha! The fun has been doubled!
:Citizens of Vernadia: Ura! [cheering]
:Dennis: Why don't you try bobbin' for apples, ma'am? We got the best apples here in our Petrovburg.
:Princess Finlandia: I ask that you call us... me... Finn, you beautiful Dennis. [to the Vernadians] Hear me, people of Vernadia – all of you! CALL ME: FINLANDIA!!!
:Citizens of Vernadia: Finlandia... [approving chatter]
:Princess Finlandia: Show me to these bobbing apples.
:Pipsqueak the Little Pony: Whoa! [splash]
:Celestia: Hey, guys. Has anybody seen Vincent? We lost him the last time we had to run— [chicken squawk] Aaah! Nightmare Moon is gobbling Pipsqueak! Everyone, run!
:Vernadian kids and citizens: [screaming]
:Vincent: Help! My little pony, Pipsqueak, has been gobbled!
:Princess Finlandia: That's a lie, Vincent! Its backside is whole and ungobbled, you ungrateful boy! [foot stomp, thunder] Fair Vernadians, please do not back away! Let us join together in... fun!
:[toy spider squeaks]
:Princess Finlandia: Not enough fun for you? What say you to this?!
:Citizens of Vernadia: [screaming]
:Princess Finlandia: Ura! How many points do I receive?
:George Floyd: [screaming]
:Citizens of Vernadia: [screaming]
:Princess Finlandia: Do not run away from me!
:Daisy Elizabeth: [screaming]
:Princess Finlandia: As your princess, I command you!
:Citizens of Vernadia: [screaming]
:Princess Finlandia: [deafening voice] BE STILL!!!
:Luna: Mom, remember! Watch the screaming!
:Princess Finlandia: [booming voice] No, Luna! We must use the Canterlot Presidential Voice for what we are about to say! [to Vernadians] Since you choose to fear your princess rather than love her and dishonor her with this insulting celebration, I shall decree that Nightmare Night's Day shall be canceled! Forever!!!
:[thunder]
:Luna: SH*T!!
:Dennis: We had everything goin' our way. Mrs. Finlandia was happy, everybody in town was happy, now look at 'em.
:Nochime: [crying] But I wanted to be a zombie next year.
:Luna: It's not over yet, Dennis.
:Dennis: What are you gonna do?
:Luna: I'm going to do what I do best for our mother. Lecture her!
:[Luna sees crying Princess Finlandia in the middle of the bridge]
:Princess Finlandia: [crying]
:Luna: Mom?
:Princess Finlandia: [sobs] Leave me be, son.
:Luna: Mom, I'm sorry it hasn't worked out how we wanted. But you have to believe me when I tell you that Nightmare Night's Day is one of the most popular celebrations we celebrate.
:Princess Finlandia: Yes, Luna. I can tell. By all the adoring shrieks of the children as they run away. [sobs]
:Luna: Mom...
:[]
:Vernadian kids: [whimpering and crying]
:Celestia: [chicken squawking, shriek] Aaaaah...! [tackled and muffled]
:Luna: No, Tia! No shrieking! No screaming or squealing either. Okay?
:Celestia: [muffled] Okay.
:Luna: There's something I want you to see. And I promise that it's safe, but you really, really, really can't shriek. Do you promise not to shriek?
:Celestia: Mm-hmm.
:Luna: Tia, you remember our mother, right?
:Princess Finlandia: Ah. The ringleader of the frightened children. Have you come to make peace?
:[thunder]
:Celestia: Nightmare Moon! [chicken squawk]
:Luna: Jason!
:Jason: [evil laughter]
:Luna: Our mother's changed, Tia! She's not evil or scary anymore! And she definitely won't gobble us up!
:Celestia: Sorry, duh.
:Luna: Huh?
:Celestia: I know that, Luna. Shhh, I'm almost as big as her, how's mommy gonna gobble me up?
:Luna: So why do you keep running away and screaming?
:Celestia: Sometimes it's just really fun to be scared!
:Luna: Fun? Tia, you're a genius!
:Celestia: No, I'm not. I'm a celestial chicken. [chicken squawk]
:Luna: Mom! I've finally figured out why you're having so much trouble being liked!
:Princess Finlandia: [pleads to Luna, sarcastic] Forgive me if I withhold my enthusiasm, son.
:Luna: Come with me. I'll explain everything on the way.
:[]
:Vincent: Astaghfirullahal-adziim. Dad, I never thought the very first Nightmare Night's Day would be very last.
:Jozef Oktarini: Come on, son. Don't fret. Nightmare Night's Day is not over yet. We still have candy left to give, so, Nightmare Moon might let us live.
:Mayor Rikardo: Yes, Vincent. [to the Vernadians] Come on, Vernadians. What's Nightmare Night's Day without the annual candy offering? You don't want Nightmare Moon to gobble you up, do you?
:Spike: Aw, the rainbow wig just kills it for me.
:Dennis: Come on, kids and citizens of Vernadia! Doesn't that sound like fun?
:[]
:Vincent: Goodbye, Nightmare Night's Day. Forever.
:[wind whistling]
:Luna (wears Nightmare Moon's costume): [booming voice] Citizens of Vernadia! You were wise to bring this candy to me. I am pleased with your offer. So pleased that I may just eat it... instead of eating you!
:Citizens of Vernadia: [screaming]
:Princess Finlandia: [spits] I am not certain that did what you meant for it to do, Luna.
:Luna: Just wait.
:Princess Finlandia: For what? For... for them to scream some more?
:Vincent: Uh... ma'am, I know there's not gonna be any more Nightmare Night's Day, but do you suppose maybe you could come back next year and scare us again anyway?
:Princess Finlandia: Vincent. Are you saying that you... like me to scare you?
:Vincent: It's really fun, ma'am! Scary, but fun!
:Princess Finlandia: Really...?
:Vincent: Yeah! Nightmare Night's Day is my favorite night of the year.
:Princess Finlandia: Well then. We shall have to bring [booming voice] Nightmare Night's Day back!
:Citizens of Vernadia: Ura!
:Vincent: Whoa! You're really the best princess ever! [to Luna and his friends] She said "yes", guys!
:The Petrovburg Heroes: YAY!
:Luna: See? They really do like that, mom.
:Princess Finlandia: Can it be true? [thunder, booming voice] OH, MOST WONDERFUL OF— [normal voice] We mean... Oh, most wonderful of nights.
:Luna: Dear Father, Artemis Osmansky.
:When we are happy in our Vernadia District, I didn't know anything about friendship. I met somebody tonight who was having the same problem – our mother, Princess Finlandia! She taught me that one of the best things you can do with friends is to give it to others, and help them find it themselves! And I'm happy to report that all of Vernadians have learned that even if somebody seems a little intimidating, even scary when you offer them your friendship, you'll discover a whole new person underneath. And even if my Sweyn Forkbeard costume didn't go over, this still turned out to be the best Nightmare Night's Day ever!
:You sincere son – Luna Vernadsky
:[lightning zap]
:Jason: [screaming]
:Luna and Princess Finlandia: [laughter]
