As Twilight entered Princess Luna’s room, she saw Luna thrashing in her sleep; almost as if she was in pain. “Princess Luna!” Twilight called out, but she did not answer. What could she possibly be dreaming about that’s stressing her out like this?? As Twilight is thinking of a way to wake Luna up, Luna is having her own concerns…
…….
“Where in Equestria am I…?” Luna asked herself as she looked around. Everything was white; not a single soul to be found. I do realize that this is a dream, but why is it so much different from the others? It feels like I could walk for miles and I would still see the same thing. But as Luna was thinking to herself, she heard a voice…
I am you
“Hello; is anypony out there?” Luna kept looking around to find the source of that voice. I know I have heard this voice before, but where? It sounds so familiar to me… But as Luna was looking, she saw two figures in the distance. The figures were too hard to see from where she was standing, but as she got closer she saw… An Alicorn?? But there are only supposed to be three Alicorns in Equestria; Celestia, Cadence, and myself! The other figure, however, she did not recognize… What is that…? I’ve never seen anything like it. “Hello?”
~~~~~~~~~
“What do you mean, you’re me? I know I created you, but that doesn’t mean you are me.” Lauren said with a nervous but sort of angry look. I was wrong; these dreams just keep getting weirder and weirder. Lauren thought to herself.
“Do you honestly think that this is only a dream?” the OC Alicorn said which made Lauren gasp and go wide-eyed. “You don’t remember anything do you?”
Did-… did she just read my mind!? And what does she mean ‘I don’t remember anything’? “Hey, how did you know what I was thinking?” Lauren asked a little more hesitant.
The Alicorn chuckled, “As I told you before Lauren, I am you; I am able to read your thoughts.” The Alicorn said with a grin on her face. “And the reason you do not remember, is because when you left Equestria, your memory was erased from the events that happened there.”
“W-what are you talking about? Equestria isn’t real! It’s just something that I created, nothing more.” Lauren said which only made the Alicorn laugh harder. Am I missing something here?? Ugh… these dreams are insane!
“Haven’t you wondered why you’ve been having these dreams…?”
Hearing this made Lauren nearly jump, she knows why I’ve been having these dreams…? Maybe I can try to get her to tell me…
“You don’t have to try anything, I can just tell you again; when you left Equestria, your memory was erased from ever going there, and the ponies in Equestria had their memories erased as well.”
“Wait a minute…” Lauren paused “If this all really happened, then how are you still alive? In my dreams, you were killed.” The alicorn remained silent. “Exactly, that proves that this is just a-…” Lauren was interrupted as a voice called out to them.
“Hello?”
When both Lauren and the Alicorn turned their heads to the source, they saw none other than Princess Luna herself. What the… what’s Luna doing here? Ugh… why do dreams have to be so confusing!? “Princess Luna…?”
Luna looked up at Lauren with confusion and a bit of shock, that voice… that’s the voice I heard earlier; and the voice that I’ve been hearing in my dreams! “Who are you?” Luna said looking directly at Lauren.
Before Lauren could respond, the cream colored Alicorn cut in and giggled “Oh it’s so good to see the both of you in the same place again…”
Again? What is she talking about!? “Alright, enough games! Tell us what’s going on right now!” Lauren yelled.
The cream colored Alicorn was starting to feel annoyed looking back and forth at Lauren and Luna. “Alright, I want the both of you to close your eyes.”
“And why in Equestria would we do that?” Luna asked with a bit of doubt in her tone.
“Do this and I promise that everything will become clear; not just to the both of you, but also the ponies that you encountered with in Equestria.” She said looking at Lauren.
Lauren and Luna looked at each other with concern but they both closed their eyes as the Alicorn had instructed. The OC Alicorn’s horn then started to glow, “When you open your eyes, you will remember everything.”
Luna and Lauren then opened their eyes and when they did, they remembered everything just as the Alicorn promised. But in the remembrance of the past, they soon realized who they were speaking to…
“Faust!” Lauren and Luna yelled in unison.
I… I remember all of it…! Twilight, everypony in Equestria… my daughters. But there’s still something that doesn’t add up… “How are you still alive?? I killed you!”
Faust simply laughed “Do you honestly believe that killing ME would be that easy? You created me, remember? As long as you remember me in your world, I can’t die.”
“Why do you want my life so much?? You could just live a great life in Equestria!”
“Because that life isn’t real!” Faust snapped but then quickly grinned. “But you don’t have to worry about me taking your life anymore…”
Huh…? If she doesn’t want my life anymore, then what else cold she possibly want??... She just read my mind again didn’t she…
“Oh don’t worry, you’ll figure that out on your own, but for now I think it’s time for you to wake up.”
“Wake up? What are you-“
Lauren! Lauren, wake up!
“Huh…? That sounds like-…” But before Lauren could finish, she started to fade away.
“Mother…!” Luna yelled running to Laurens fading body. “You-… you demon!” Luna yelled at Faust.
“Oh, don’t worry Luna; you won’t be separated from your mother for long.” Faust said as her horn glowed. “But your sister is another story.”
“What do you think you’re-…” Before Luna could finish, she too began to fade.
“We’ll meet again soon Luna… you and Lauren…”
…….
“Lauren! Lauren, wake up!!” Tara yelled.
“Wha- huh??” Lauren said finally waking up. “Oh… it’s only you.” Lauren sighed with relief.
“What the heck did you dream about? You were flailing around like crazy!”
“It… it was nothing… just a crazy-…”
“Oohh…”
“Huh?” Both Lauren and Tara said in unison turning to where the sound came from. It was a woman that looked about the same age as Lauren, lying on the floor in the other side of the room. Her hair was dyed dark blue and looked like it was… Is her hair… moving!?
“W-… where am I?” The blue haired girl asked slowly getting up.
“Um… Lauren, who is that?” Tara asked.
“Lauren?” the girl immediately turned her head toward Lauren. She walked up to her feeling a little hesitant. “Is it really you, mother…?”
Mother…? MOTHER!? No… it can’t be…! “L-… Luna?” Lauren asked wide-eyed.
“Luna…? Lauren, I know her hair looks like Luna’s mane but that doesn’t mean it’s her…” Tara said starting to feel a little nervous.
“Mother!!” Luna cried as she immediately hugged Lauren as tight as she could. Tears could be seen going down Luna’s face.
I… I can’t believe it. Luna is here; here in this world! But how? How could she possibly have come here? “Luna, how did you get here?”
Luna’s smile immediately disappeared when Lauren asked that, “I-… I think Faust has something to do with this. What I do not understand is why she would send me to your world…”
That is strange… why would she try to-… oh no… “She’s trying to separate you from Celestia!”
“Okay, stop!” a familiar voice yelled. Luna and Lauren both turned to Tara who looked like she was about to lose it. “Ok Lauren, great joke but this is going too far already!”
“Mother, who is this?” Luna asked looking at Tara quizzically “She sounds just like Twilight Sparkle.”
“Oh, this is my friend, Tara Strong, and well… she pretty much is Twilight’s voice.”
“I do not think I understand…” Luna said still confused.
“I’ll try to explain later Luna.” Lauren said smiling sheepishly.
“Very well, in any case, it is a pleasure to meet you Mrs.-…” Luna paused as she extended her hand “…Strong.”
“What’s the matter; never seen hands before?” Tara asked obviously still not believing the story.
“No it’s not that; I’ve never HAD hands before.”
“Ok this is getting ridiculous! If you’re really Princess Luna, then prove it!” Tara snapped.
“Very well…” Luna looked around the room to see what she could use to prove it was really her. I suspect a simple levitation spell should work… Luna then spotted a coffee mug on the table. Perfect… “Would you like a drink Tara Strong?”
“No thanks, not thirsty.”
“Are you sure…?” Luna said as a cup surrounded by Luna’s aura levitated next to Tara.
*THUD*
“What did I do??”
“Nothing; she just fainted…”
~~~~~~~~~
“Princess Celestia!!”
Twilight was running as fast as she could back to the main foyer after what she just witnessed. I remember all of it..! But why did Luna just disappear!? Oh, keep running Twilight! Eventually Twilight made it to the foyer “Princess Celestia! I just-…” Twilight was cut off.
“I know…” Celestia said with a tear going down her face. “I remembered it too…”
“But Princess Celestia, Luna just disappeared!”
“What??” Celestia shot her head up “But how ??”
“I thought you knew!”
“No, unfortunately I don’t.” Celestia grimaced “But where ever she is, I hope she’s ok…”
“I’m sure she’ll be fine Princess; after all she is your sister.”

Yeah I know these chapters are short right now, but that’s because school gets in the way. But don’t worry, I’ll probably post a bigger chapter over the weekend. plus I may get some help on future chapters if I need it…
DENIAL OF FIRST!
Nobody cares that you're first. In other news, glad to see this updated.
Well, here we go again with Faust, the evil Lauren.
You made me sad for the short chapter. But I know what you mean...
Oi, vey. Faust, you just don't know when to quit, do you?
DeiStar gave us enough mind-screws in the first story, so I wonder what you're planning on in this one...
Welcome to the Human World, now with 100% more Luna.
Faust back from the dead! s*** just got real.
Oh God, Luna is on Earth . . .

You saw that coming, didn't you.

Pretty much, but I'm glad someone did it

She's like that ex-girlfriend that's always nearby. Who got fat and wants you back, but you're all like 'Nooooooo' and she's all like 'Yesssssss' and then there's the conspiracy, then the back-stabbing, and finally murder.
On a serious note and in ROYAL CANTERLOT CAPS LOCKS, WE FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT FAUST INTENDS NO HARM. WE DEMAND THE MARE'S HEAD ON A PIKE!
While I loved the original, I'm not liking this one quite as much. The story, tone, and particularly the distinctive style are still the same, but you're a different author, and it shows. The quality of the writing itself has dropped slightly - not very much at all, really - but I'm noticing lots of minor grammatical errors, particularly with your extreme overuse of semicolons. Also, some of the sentence structure is a bit awkward, but there's really nothing that can be done about that, especially since it's not actually wrong in any way. In any case, I recommend you get a good proofreader or at least read up on when to use semicolons and when not to use them.
Ahem,
I BUCKING CALLED IT IN CHAPTER 3!!!!!

I am apparently psychic.
U jelli?
1425623 *steals the first* :3 It's mine now~!
On an unrelated note, I am LOVING this story. FLOATING CUP - boom unconsciousness.
Great chapter, loved Tara's reaction to everything and how nonchalant Lauren is when she faints//dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Spitfire_lazy.png
Of course this chapter leaves alot of questions to answer in later chapters. What is Faust's plot this time? Who will show up next? Does Lauren still have the ability to use magic? If so does she need to be taught how to use it? (Cause I don't remember her getting lessons while in Equestia, but it has been awhile since I read the first few chapters of Imagination...) How will Craig respond to Luna? How will the ponies respond to our world? Will Pinkie Pie find the Internet? Will I ever stop asking questions?//dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Octavia_O_O.png ...
For the love of Faust, have Luna play a video game! And she's gonna watch an episode or two of MLP: FiM, right? She just has to!
Ohh. Ohh lord. THIS has to be Luna's entrance music.
It fits the mood so well.
1425709 It would be hard not to call it in this chapter
Really good story, but slow down a bit.

If you indeed think of yourself as a psychic then tell me what will happen next in my fanfiction.
Aside from that I am very happy about this sequel so far it is living up to my expectations of which I set because of the first fic. Good job.
Good job there good sir.
I don't care how long or when, but about how great it is.
OH DEAR GOD, YES!

Maybe Discord can solve this......
Wow that just happened.
Wonder what's Faust plan this time around.
...
GAD MOAR!
So many questions.
Yes, that THUD is very important. Can't wait to see what happens in Equestria, of course.
OH SHIT, THINGS JUST GOT REAL!!!

Lovin' this fic

....awesome.
I'm 1000% sure this is an accurate representation of Tara's mind

Nice man. Tara Strong fainting, was just priceless!
However, if possible, could you make the chapters a little longer? I know you have school to worry about and I completely understand. But could you try to make them longer by just a little bit? I don't know how long that would be. Anyway, this sequel is so far meeting my expectations and with Luna in the real world, things are about to get more interesting.

...the intrigue has been doubled!
Awaiting further releases.

Me like, me like a lot.
1426606
heh.
Oooh, the next chapter is gonna be good!
Another good chapter but how can Luna still be doing magic. she is a human now and doesn't have a horn anymore.
Classic
*THUD*
How did Luna do magic? She's human now, so then howwww?
1427151
she's not human, just human shaped!
or, maybe humans can be magic users, but it's rare, and most never realize it?
Yes, Tara, Ponies are real. Okay, so this one has been humanised but I suspect that she's still a Manifest God and can probably juggle planetoids the way you or I would apples.
I wonder what Faust's plan is? It might not be malign but having all of Equestria's champions out of the way for a while might be the precursor for something nasty...
Meanwhile, teaching Luna how to fake being a human is going to be interesting. Probably highly stressful too. As we've already established she has her magic, then why not the other stuff? Has she got wings under her shirt? Pony-level super-strength? (Rarity once lifted a rock bigger than her and alicorns have to be stronger than that!) The ability to move the Moon in accord with her will... possibly the Sun too as Celly isn't around on our planet right now? (Someone 'phone NASA!) Convincing her that we don't need her to handle the rising and setting of the celestial bodies will be an interesting conversation.
And... of course... this just occured to me... if Luna still has her alicorn powers... maybe Lauren does too...?
1427384>>1427386 i'd always thought that humans can use magic; it's just with the hate toward anyone with it in the past, people forgot how to use it.
More soon please.
1425623 It's not denial if you pointed it out.
goood good do go on anyways cant wait for the next
Wow. Amazing sequel but with one problem....
ITS TOO SHORT
MAKE MOAAARRR
Thankfully it's Luna and not Celestia,
imagine Celestia trying to move the sun...
It's the end of the world as we know it!
