(Re-edited)

This story is now apart of a trilogy:

• [You are here]
• Tears of a Princess
• The Troublemaker Prince

Princess Luna has always longed for a child to call her own. It was her dream. If only there was a way wishes could come true...

This is a prequel to 'Moonlights Daughter' detailing Luna's decent into motherhood.

Since forever, Princess Luna is up every night while other ponies are asleep till sunrise. The filly has a plan to keep herself entertained, but finds it difficult to find even one pony to stay up a little later and help. After one night of being truly on her own, high emotions would be the catalyst to her finding something special in being the Princess of the Night.

Future plans: This is a full story, but a sequel's planned that goes into more nsfw territories.

Celestia leaves to deal with a foreign crisis, giving her sister a chance to rule alone and become more attached to the modern world. She calls on Twilight Sparkle to advise Luna, hoping her student will be able to draw Luna out of her shell. With two major threats to Equestria already defeated in the past year, it seems like the perfect time to let Luna gain some confidence and experience in the modern world. After all, what are the chances of a third disaster occurring?

Now comes with complimentary tropes.

One thousand years ago, Luna was taken over by Nightmare Forces and sent to the moon. She left her sister, their parents and a two week old daughter behind.

Now the seal is about to break and Nightmare Moon will be free once more. Will Twilight be able to free her mother from the Nightmare's grasp?

*WARNING* The Prologue has a death scene in it. I haven't selected the "Death" tag because the description isn't graphic at all . . . and there is none of that in the rest of the story.

If the author asks, I will take it down.

Twilight becomes alicorn of the stars. This is sort of a problem, because Luna kind of already was alicorn of the stars. Oops!
