It sure is unusually cold for Spring. What happened to all the warm weather ponyville was going to have?
Interview with a Nightmare
Nightmare smiles wickedly. “You have no idea… Luna herself is not correct on what I am to her, but when her sister found out… Lets just say, I make bad look good. Still… her influence remains… I can play nice”, becoming doe-eyed for a brief moment, “But… where’s the fun in that?”
“Oh playing nice is plenty of fun, believe me…I’d know…But what about Luna? Can she hear me deep down in the cerebellum of yours?”
“Hmm, we should ask her. Luna dear, is there anything you want to say to the nice man?”
Luna’s voice comes out, harsher than usual. “I want to know WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO TO US, Nightmare…not in public
“I’ve had a head or two in mental disorders, Luna, but for treatment to be successful, I need you isolated…I need Nightmare Moon in privacy…you wouldn’t mind would you?”
“I guess not… Thank you. I think.”. With that, Nightmare/Luna’s horn flashes, and Nightmare becomes more… there than she had been before…

“Oh yes…let’s…Nightmare, I presume?”
[[My suggestion at how to type them both at the same time is to underline it, maybe italicize at the same time, but that’s the best I got right now.]]
Luna collapses, a shadow enveloping her. A flash obscuring vision…
Luna looks dazed. Nopony has even dared try help Nightmare“Y-you think you could h-help me? I-I”
(You know I’d never leave you, right Luna? Yes, but… if he can get you out… get you a body… we should at least see what he wants to do)
“T-thank you… What do you need me to do?”
“All I need from you is to let me get into that little head of yours…console your darker demons and put them to bed…You’re other half is just dying to get out, and maybe…I can reason with it…What do ya say? Do ya trust me?”
(Do I trust him? The last being I trusted was my sister, and look where that lead me… us… what if something happens? I can always revert to you, and you can bring me back… What if he manages to actually kill us? Don’t be ridiculous, he cannot simply kill the night! You don’t know that… Luna… Do you really think he could kill us? I don’t know… Luna, we’re a goddess… True, but there are beings that can kill deities… Luna, if he could kill us, he would have by now, he wouldn’t just let you sit here thinking. Close our mouth, it’s unbecoming to look blankly… I-I didn’t notice… so what do we do? Well, I think we go with his plans, for now at least… The worst that can happen is you having to bring me back, and that wasn’t too hard… But… it could hurt… Stop being a foal. You know how to stop pain, so do it. NOW. O-okay, Nightmare, but only because you said so…)
After spending minutes gazing blankly, Luna’s horn flashed bright for a moment. “I suppose I do… Shall we get started?”
[[ Last word is both of them saying it, not sure how to type that OTL]]
Luna glanced at the Joker, wondering his intentions. “I do hope you’re not going to try anything stupid… I don’t think you’d like my idea of ‘fun’”
The Joker patted her on the head and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He leaned into her ear and said…
“I know my share of mental problems…why not let me play doctor for a bit…maybe I can help talking to your little friend here…hehehe…”

“T-thank you… What do you need me to do?”
Um, what kind of something(Something good no doubt. Hang on, I thought you were trying to get actually over there..Yes, and I am over there now. But I’m still with you Lu-lu. Aaalways!)
/snapping back to reality
I am sorry about this, when there are so many of you inside your head, you cannot help which you is being you. I am sure that you can understand…
“No, not really…but I can imagine…” he said looking at her menacingly. He gave off an eerie air as though he was about to do something violent to her…
Luna glanced at the Joker, wondering his intentions. “I do hope you’re not going to try anything stupid… I don’t think you’d like my idea of ‘fun’”
(Luna is surprised that the Joker is touching her, as most of the time Nightmare uses her shadow to smother anypony that tries that. Nightmare seems to like this human, which may or may not be a bad thing. Or it could be because he is taller than any pony, barring her sister…)You are quite right… your help is most appreciated.
I do wonder where I am though, seeing as I technically cannot be there unless I am here, And I am confused as well. And now I sound like I am talking to myself Because you are talking to me. Any ideas on how to help me? I am kind of relying on… Him… helping me sort myself out, but I think you would be able to too!
[The Joker wasn’t at all taken aback by this sudden split personality syndrome. Instead he smiled widely at it and continued to scratch, turning his head away.]
“Well, to help you out, surely I should be able to request something in return…”
Um, what kind of something
(Something good no doubt. Hang on, I thought you were trying to get actually over there..Yes, and I am over there now. But I’m still with you Lu-lu. Aaalways!)

Oh my, how delightfully brutal
This is not going well, I am hoping to get Nightmare cut out of me. I AM SIXTEEN. SHE IS ONE THOUSAND AND TWO. SHE CAN Don’t you dare talk about my age, lu-lu. Sorry Ladd, I have to deal with this brat. I will be glad to be freed from I am the brat? You tried killing my sister, you Quiet Luna, adults are talking. You wouldn’t really say that, you are far too polite. GO AWAY. Not right now, my sweet lu-lu. Ha.
Ha, sounds like a real pain for both of ya!
You know what? … Maybe I won’t be cookin’ up pony meat after all. You two are WAY too fun watchin’, haha! And if you DO make killin’ an official sport, expect me to be first in line to watch~
Hmm, how do I put this. She is gone. Well, half of her. Or possibly more. Maybe less. Saaay, if you’re after Pony Steaks, I am sure we can find someone we would all like dead. Trixie, perhaps. I do not wish her dead, I just wish her to stop existing. On a permanent basis. That’s the same thing you foal. Also, I think a part of me is trying to get to where you are Ladd… I told him that. Quiet you, ADULTS ARE TALKING. Keep an eye out. Gah, you are MEAN tonight… I am sorry about this Ladd. Ignore her, she’s a wimp. Killing is a great pasttime, I wish I could do it more often but she gets in the way… And you cannot kill me without killing yourself. It’s annoying…
