Despite the fact that Luna hasn't been trapped in the moon for a long time, she still feels rather awkward among the citizens of Equestria, especially when Nightmare Night rolls around. Her physical changes as a result of the dark magic she'd been influenced by make her feel unwelcome when the stories of Nightmare Moon start being told to the foals. Luckily, this year she makes a visit to her student, Twilight Nimbus, and the unicorn helps her mentor get a little more acclimated with at least one set of ponies this holiday.

Nimbus dresses as Clover the Clever instead of as Starswirl in this AU because Starswirl is her great-great-great grandfather and she thought cosplaying as him would be weird.
