Spike: Ugh, come on, Twilight and Rose. We're gonna be late for the Nightmare Night festival. Huh? Are you that one kooky grandpa from Ponyville Retirement Village?

Twilight Sparkle: I'm Star Swirl the Bearded and Rose is Discord! Father of the amniomorphic spell? Did you even read that book I gave you about obscure unicorn history?

Spike: Uh.. [knocking] That sounds important. [yelp]

Fillies: Nightmare Night! What a fright! Give us something sweet to bite!

Rose Light: Hi, everypony. Great costumes. Happy Nightmare Night, Granny Smith.

Granny Smith: I should have been asleep five hours ago.

Pipsqueak: Pipsqueak the pirate, at your service. It's my very first Nightmare Night.

Twilight Sparkle: Since you moved here from Trottingham?

Pipsqueak: No, my very first Nightmare Night ever!

Pinkie Pie: [chicken squawk] Enough chitchat! Time is candy!

Rose Light: Pinkie Pie, aren't you a little old for this?

Pinkie Pie: Too old for free candy? [chicken squawk] Never.

Twilight Sparkle: [bell jingles] Do you like it?

Pinkie Pie: Yeah! Great costume, Twilight and Rose! You make a fantastic weirdo clown and evil villain!

Rose Light: A clown? Look at the borders on these robes. These are hoof-stitched!

Spike: It's a great costume! Huh! Grandpa!

Twilight Sparkle: [growls]

Rose Light: Star Swirl the Bearded is only the most important conjurer of the pre-classical era.

Background ponies: Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

Twilight Sparkle: He created more than two hundred spells! He even has a shelf in the Canterlot library of magic named after him. Maybe I should start up a pony group to teach ponies about history. I bet everypony would love it! Don't you, Spike?

Spike: [chewing candy] Mm-hmm! [eating sounds] I love it!

Rose Light: Hey look, we're here already! Should we get something to eat?

Spike: [burp]

Pinkie Pie: Twilight and Rose, Twilight and Rose! Look at our haul! Ah! Can you believe it? And then, we went to Cheerilee's house, and got a bunch more goodies. Didn't we, Pip?

Pipsqueak: Sure did!

Pinkie Pie: And then, we had to stop and wait for Granny Smith, and—

[lightning zap]

Pinkie Pie: [chicken squawk]

Foals: [screaming]

Rainbow Dash: [laughing maniacally]

Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow Dash, that wasn't very nice.

Rainbow Dash: Lighten up, old-timer. This is the best night of the year for pranks!

Rose Light: Look what you did to Spike!

Spike: [choking on candy]

Rainbow Dash: It's all in good fun. Oh! Oh! There's another group over there!

[lightning zap]

Background ponies: [screaming]

Rainbow Dash: [laughing maniacally]

Twilight Sparkle: Happy Nightmare Night, Applejack!

Applejack: Howdy, Spike! Hey, Twilight and Rose! Nice costume.
