This story is a sequel to Cinderella: A Spike x Starlight Story

In this Disney crossover you will see how the Beauty and the Beast is explained in MLP style.

For five years since after Luna's return as princess of Equestria, Luna has been feeling guilty for everything she did as Nightmare Moon, even going so far as to torture herself in her own dreams for a creature called Tantabus that she herself created that it would be able to create nightmares that would remind her of what she did as Nightmare Moon and make her not to become the same mare again that tried to cause eternal night.

But thankfully that with the help of Mane 6, Luna was able to forgive herself during the lucid dream and even have a peaceful dream after all that she went through.

Twilight Sparkle, Luna's first friend and marefriend, decides to tell Luna how much she cares about the princess while she sleeps on the floor on top of pillows. But she's okay with that, since she knows that Luna doesn't feel or say anything in her sleep, right?

Moonlight had been having a question on her mind for a few days now, but she wouldn't speak on account of her two mothers being busy with royal duties. Until one afternoon where Twilight is having an afternoon off, she decides to ask her question.

Twilight expected Moonlight to ask any question except where the foals come from. Now, in a dilemma where she doesn't know if she should tell the truth or not, she decides to talk to her wife to ask for advice on what to do about it.

Princess Luna's Lunar Stallions kidnap Twilight Sparkle when they see how lonely Luna is, and give her to the Princess as a gift. Nightmare Moon emerges from Princess Luna's psyche during the sleepover. The dark goddess would love nothing more than to have the beautiful mare all to herself, and the resulting chaos forces Celestia to call a psychologist to sort out Luna's multiple personalities.

Princess Nightmare Moon has it all. Socially awkward shut-in Twilight Sparkle has nothing of worth. Princess Nightmare Moon can acquire anything she desires. Twilight Sparkle can't seem to catch a break. Two polar opposites from completely different worlds. Yet amidst her dominant rule, Princess Nightmare Moon feels she's missing something. A certain day from her memory has been wiped... and none of her common materialistic desires can sate her quench for answers. That is until she encounters a certain young unicorn mare, who she can't seem to get off her mind.

Twilight Sparkle's dull and downtrodden life is about to get much more interesting.

This story is a sequel to Tales From the Crystal Empire

In an Equestria much different from what we know, Princess Luna has ruled the young nation fairly for several years now and has recently earned her cutie mark when she raised both the sun and moon together.

Now though, a letter has come from the Crystal Empire, a country that is still little known of. It seems that the reigning monarch's daughter is soon to come of age, and her mother is eager to help establish ties with Equestria.

Now more than a little curious, and also eager to establish ties with a country that is much older than her own, Luna accepts the invitation to the young mare's Royal Crystaling.

But Princess Mi Amore Amicitia is much more than her mother let on. A fact that will shock and surprise Luna when they finally meet.

Secrets. Everypony has them, and as they get older the more numerous they become. Their benevolent ruler Celestia herself has lost track of just how many secrets she holds, but Twilight and Luna are going to find out quite a few of them. Follow Twilight and Luna as they discover things about themselves, and those dear to them, as memories and secrets are brought to the light.

Note - The writing is the earliest I have of what I've done. As such it's quite sloppy compared to my standards today. Slated for a rewrite/full editing in the future. At some point.

Nightmare Moon has noticed Twilight very busy lately, and with that, she has not paid so much attention to her. She has felt nothing but ignored by the unicorn. Fortunately, she has an idea for Twilight to pay attention to her.

Twilight has always grown up close to Luna and Nightmare Moon, both whom are two sides of one coin. The Sun is but a myth most have forgotten and so are the elements. Life as far as Twilight is concerned couldn't be going any better, for there are only 2 whom she cares to hold dear. All until one fateful day in Luna's embrace she is asked to help end the darkness, by finding the elements and making some friends. Reluctantly Twilight agrees but only for Luna and no pony else. Setting off on her quest to help with the Lunar Celebration must she make friends, and find the elements all before it is to late.

(The first what if story in many to come, and since I can't post separate stories in the chapters, I will be posting them as separate what if one shots.)

While some of these what if stories seem like they could use a continuation, the idea is to put the thought into some ones head so that they can if they wish, pick it up and continue the story.

It's not easy to go back to your life after a thousand years of insanity and exile. It's not easy for Luna to even leave her room. All the same, there's a special somepony that Luna desperately wants to get closer to, and that's worth facing the outside for. All she has to do is get up the nerve to talk to her.
