Glances at Split Dreams nervously.

It's been almost two years.

Oh boy! So, i did have the second chapter for Split Dreams, But i lost it, and being the stubborn person i am- i don't want to revise everything i had already, despite the fact that I'd lost the first draft, and it would be better to just rewrite it entirely.
I've been looking for that piece of a paper for over a year now.

I had a couple ideas for what should happen next, of course. Basically, this is what i had in mind:

- No one trusts Nightmare Moon. They dump all of the blame for the Eternal Night fiasco on her, and consider Luna completely blameless. Either because they think she was being used, possessed, or otherwise, hardly anyone thinks Luna is guilty. Spoiler; Luna and Nightmare Moon were one pony at the time. They are both equally at fault.

- Cultists/Fanatics of Nightmare Moon want to help her bring forth eternal night, dethrone and possibly kill Celestia, and make Nightmare Moon the new ruler of Equestria. Nightmare Moon just wants to be with her sisters and be loved by others. She doesn't want to kill Celestia at all and generally dislikes the plan of being the sole ruler of Equestria and bringer of actual, eternal night. She now realizes how bad the plan was, as Eternal Night doesn't mean 'Hey, look at my pretty stars and gorgeous moon! Please love them like i do!' it means 'Everything is cold and dead and everyone hates me now.'

- Nightmare Moon has no control over the night, as it is Luna's domain, not hers. She doesn't even have a cutiemark. (I believe i might have come up with her domain, and it's probably written down on a paper somewhere, but i don't know for sure.)

- Luna and Nightmare Moon do everything together. They walk together, sleep together, and eat together. Since they're both very new to Equestria as it is 1000 years later, and the fact that they shared a body for quite a while, they feel more comfortable hanging around each other. Also, Luna knows other ponies generally dislike and distrust Nightmare Moon, and she wants to keep her sister safe.

- Shining Armor was probably going to try and put extra eyes on Nightmare Moon, under the assumption that she was still dangerous and needed to be watched. Celestia doesn't want Nightmare Moon to feel unwelcome or ostracized, so she would really hate this plan. Something along the lines of "You will not treat my little sister like a major threat to Equestria."

- Major character spoilers: Nightmare Moon actually really loves chores, because she wants to be liked/loved by others, and she will take any chance she can get to gain approval. The only successful and nonthreatening way she can get this approval so far, is to offer to help clean things. No one will let her cook. Hardly anyone wants to accept gifts from her. She's very bad with coming up with compliments. She likes laundry the most, because it requires no magic to do easily, and not using magic around others generally turns out better because none of them will subtly flinch or cower if she picks up up a wad of clothes in her hooves. She can't do dishes, sweep, or mop without using magic, and she really hates it when other ponies are scared of her, so laundry is her best option. Luna is her favorite pony, because Luna loves her and hangs out with her 24/7. Celestia is her 2nd favorite, because Celestia also loves her, but she's typically too busy to hang out all the time.
