* Why is Princess Luna suddenly speaking in FloweryElizabethanEnglish even though she never did in her first appearance? Nightmare Moon never used it because she wasn't really Luna, but her personality warped by evil. She never used the "Traditional Royal Canterlot Voice"; her voice and speech were completely different from Luna's, like everything else about her. When Luna returns, her only spoken like is to her elder sister Celestia--no need for "thee"s and "thou"s, which another troper pointed out are used to refer to equals or lessers, not big sisters.

* Why is it that no one in town recognizes Twilight Sparkle's costume of a wizard from ancient history, but Luna gets it straight off, right down to the details? Luna's spent a thousand years on the moon: She doesn't have the intervening history to muddle her memory of the past. (Compare to someone in stasis easily recognizing someone from their own era, even as they fail at pop culture.)

!!FridgeLogic:
* Luna using the royal "we" really doesn't make any sense: the royal "we" was used to refer to "me (the monarch) and God" as God was responsible for appointing the monarch, therefore all the monarch's decisions were also God's. Considering that Celestia and Luna are the closest things Equestria has to gods, Luna is referring to herself twice.
** Celestia and Luna co-ruled. The royal 'we' would refer to the two of them, as one of them could speak for both of them when addressing subjects.

* FridgeBrilliance: Luna instantly recognizing the Star Swirl costume. While, in being royalty, it is expected for her to know more history than the average pony, it is far more likely that, being thousands of years old, she actually knew the guy.
** In retrospect, it's fairly obvious that Pinkie Pie is not really scared of Luna. When fleeing in "terror", she remains on her hind legs, running like a chicken, when she could certainly go faster (she's been shown to be quicker than [[SuperSpeed Rainbow Dash]] on some occasions). She's not frightened, she's just in character.
* FridgeLogic: Did Luna never notice that ''nopony'', Celestia included, was using "thou" or "thy" anymore? Or that Celestia wasn't using the royal "we" or '''THE TRADITIONAL ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE''' either? (The main question, really, is how much socialization she'd gotten in the months since her return.)
** Could fit in the above. The royal terms and Royal Canterlot Voice are for use with one's subjects, as Luna clearly states. If Luna's been embarrassed or ashamed and mostly hanging out with Celestia until she feels better, she would have been speaking more informally, and perhaps assumed Celestia's lack of "thou", "thee", and "thy" was a personal quirk she'd picked up in the last thousand years.
** There's also no reason to assume Celestia never uses the Traditional Royal Canterlot Voice; she just hasn't needed to in the situations where we usually see her (with Twilight Sparkle and small groups). If something happened to start a riot or a panic, Celestia could and would shock everypony back to sense by raising her voice.
** Come to think of it, we ''did'' get at least a taste of it in ''Lesson Zero''.
* FridgeLogic: Remember that colorful egg Pinkie 'laid' as a sight gag? Well, ''who'' have we seen chasing candy all Nightmare Night, again?
