Description:
Page 642 – The Dream Job, Part 3For those not in the know, this is where the comic canon starts to take left turns from the show canon in a lot of readers’ eyes, or at least makes it harder to reconcile. Quite a bit of debate happened as a result. The main goal here, as always, is to poke fun at all that.
Transcript:
Princess Celestia: Sorry if we’re late, my faithful student. We’ve had some troubles of our own in Canterlot.
Applejack/Pinkie Pie/Rainbow Dash: Princess Celestia… and Luna?!
Applejack: Wait, so yer playin’ both today??
Rainbow Dash: More importantly, why are you the tiny baby version?!
Princess Luna: …My link to the moon has been tampered with.
Twilight Sparkle: Wait, so, us having nightmares, you being de-powered, Rarity kidnapped…
Princess Luna: All connected. I look after the realm of dreams. And Rarity… was taken by nightmares.
Twilight Sparkle: That smoke monster… That was a living nightmare? How? Scratch that: Why?
Princess Luna: My nightmares seek a new leader… for one last war on all of Equestria!
Rainbow Dash: What?! It was some stupid “dark pact” all along?!
Twilight Sparkle: How is that stupid, exactly?
Rainbow Dash: When you’re evil, you should OWN it! None of this “I was corrupted from the outside” crap! I mean, c’mon! Where’s the respect for true Evil?!
Applejack: …Anyway. I don’t mind the backstory, but how do we go about savin’ our Rogue?
