One can hear Twilight's approach to the back door of Milliways long before she actually arrives--a soft jingle jingle jingle that increases in volume with every iteration.

Finally, just as you're about to get out of your seat and look outside to figure out what is making that damn ringing noise, she strides in. She's wearing a broad-brimmed

"I believe they're celebrating something called Halloween," says a nearby tall, dark-skinned human. "Hello, Twilight Sparkle."

Twilight turns toward the man (jingle go the bells on her hat) and looks... nonplussed.

"I'm sorry, have we met?"

She's pretty sure she hasn't met any humans with that particular skin tone, but...

"We have," says the human, "although I looked,like my proper self at the time. This appears to be an effect of the Bar tonight. I'm Fawkes."

"You're joking."

"Pony!" cries a small voice.

The voice is accompanied by rapid footsteps. Soon, a toddler in a chef costume comes running up, clearly aiming to hug one of Twilight Sparkle's legs.

"Pony!" he says again. "Pony!"

A woman, presumably his mother, is following behind him with a cauldron-shaped candy pail. She is not in costume but is wearing a Halloween-ish shirt.

Some ponies are good with children. This pony? Not so much. She tries to step back away from the oncoming toddler, but the cape is in the way.

Don't worry. Mom's catching up.

"Cepheus, slow down," Mia says, reaching and taking his hand.

"Pony, Mama!" he says, pointing at Twilight Sparkle with his free hand.

"Yes, that is a pony, sweetheart. But we don't want to scare her."

Twilight puts on a very forced, nervous smile. "Uh... hi?"

"'Scalled Hallowe'en," says a sulky pony stallion-a colt, really.

Enzo has, frankly, stopped bothering being surprised for today.

[no_vampires_plz]

Twilight turns toward the colt, making the bells on her hat jingle. "Oh, I didn't know there were other ponies here!" she says, pleasantly surprised. "Where are you from? I don't recognize you from Ponyville."

[a1enzo]

Sigh. "I'm not. This is the Bar's idea of a costume."

"You're... not actually a pony."

Wut.
