Previously on Of Mare and Moon…
“I just have this feeling like something bad is going to happen,” replied Twilight.
“Nightmare Moon is long gone and we took care of her so well that she ain’t never comin’ back,” said Applejack.
“Why my dear foal, you couldn’t be more wrong. You and your friends may have taken me down several years ago but this time I’ll have my ultimate revenge! Oh and I’m sure you’ll become quite familiar with my new friends,” answered Nightmare. *she laughs*
“Uh can I help you all?” asked Starlight a little puzzled.
“Nightmare Moon tried to bring eternal night several years ago and now she’s making a return. Unless you heed our warning, we’re doomed!,” explained Twilight.
“You mean kind of like how on January 1, 2000, Ponyville will be gone forever?” asked Clover.
“Don’t tell me you believe that, Clover, it’s just a myth,” said Bright Eyes.
“Yeah, like that other pony’s story,” added Melody.
“Now listen here, Twilight Sparkle here ain’t one for spreadin’ mare tales. Don’t y’all go judgin’ us before we even meet, ya hear?” protested Applejack.
“You’re right, we’re sorry,” agreed Starlight.
“So, who are you ponies and why do you not look like the rest of us?” questioned Bright Eyes.
“I’m Twilight Sparkle. We’re from another part of Ponyville,” explained Twilight.
“We’ve got all sorts of farmin’ equipment and apples. Y’all can call me Applejack, ” added Applejack.
“Who’s the yellow pony?” asked Melody.
“She’s very shy but she’s named Fluttershy. She’s a great friend when you get to know her, especially with animals,” answered Twilight..
“We have a teeny tiny way with animals,” said Sweetheart.
“We do?” asked Melody and Starlight.
“Don’t you truly remember the frog we helped a couple of years ago get back to normal?” asked Sweetheart.
“Oh yeah, wasn’t his name Spot?” asked Starlight.
“I truly think it was,” replied Sweetheart.
“We can’t forget how we helped the Green-Winged Songbirds’ home become a national landmark,” added Bright Eyes.
“I was devastated when I truly saw all that missing forest,” said Sweetheart.
“Gosh, I never knew how much we had in common with animals,” said Fluttershy.
“Yeah, I guess we do,” said Melody.
“So what exactly is this danger we’re all in that I’ve been hearing about?” asked Ace coming in.
“Danger is my middle name,” proclaimed Patch.
“Twilight, this is Ace, our star soccer player at school,” explained Bright Eyes.
“You have a school?” asked Fluttershy.
“Of course, it’s important for us to learn for the future. Does that mean you don’t have a school for learning?” answered Bright Eyes.
“My lil’ sis Apple Bloom takes part in a school for little fillies but other than that, not that I’m aware of,” replied Applejack.
“What do you ponies do around your part of Ponyville if you don’t have a school?” asked Melody.
“I work on a farm with my brother Big Macintosh during Applebuck Season. It’s the time of year where I use my buckin’ skills to get the apples from the trees,” said Applejack.
“We all help wrap up winter as well. If you didn’t guess, we call it Winter Wrap-Up day. I also am a student of the famed Princess Celestia,” added Twilight.
“A real princess?!” questioned Melody in disbelief.
“Absolutely, I write to her of the day’s lesson,” answered Twilight.
“What’s she like?” asked Starlight.
“She’s very generous and has a pet phoenix named Philomena. She even has a sister named Princess Luna, whom I haven’t seen much of since we defeated Nightmare Moon all those years ago,” replied Twilight.
“Oh that’s so sad, she must be really truly lonely,” said Sweetheart sadly.
“So will you help us take down Nightmare Moon once and for all?” asked Twilight.
“It’ll be tough, based on your words but we’ll try,” said Bright Eyes. *the others nod in agreement*
