Luna and Celestia walked up the stairs to the Kitchen tower. The ice around the kitchen and the stairs was water, and as they walked across the kitchen the water around them vaporized, as they got closer to the stairs. As Luna and Celestia walked upstairs all around the kitchen it began to freeze, once again. 

Celestia was quite tired not even taking what had just happened to account. She took off her royal Canterlot shoes, along with her crown and instantly got into bed dozing off quickly. Luna on the other hoof was laying down in her bed, not blinking for more then a second, let alone blinking at all. She tried to remain awake, to afraid of what might happen when she slept. 

Her eyes began to droop, and she felt so tired. She yawned as she slowly began to close her eyes, falling asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes to begin rest, there was the sound of falling stone. Her eyes widen as she looked around, wide awake. Was this a dream? She blinked... She wasn't tired at all. She tried lifting a hoof but she was stuck... Yeaah, this is probably a dream. She rolled her eyes sighing, before then shadows swarmed around her. 

Luna's eyes widen quickly trying to move yelling, "No! Let me go!" She shouted, trying to break free. Nothing would work. She tried flying and teleporting away but... It was simply a lost cause. She stared at all of them, "What is it!? What do you want!? Why must you invade everything! You are trying to take over my life, but you will not prevail!" 

The shadows all laughed, as one explained, "What we want is a ruler... Nightmare Moon. If you do not give in willingly, and come clean when we turn you back to her we will follow you in your shadows. We will control you... If you try to tell someone we'll kill them." 

Luna growled, "This is a dream! My dream! You cannot do anything to me!" She yelled. 

The shadows sighed, "So be it." They then swarmed around her, before the "lead" one jumped at her absorbing into her horn. The rest followed, some going through her eyes. She screamed, but that only let them go down through her mouth. Tears rushed down, before- 

She sprang up from her bed, looking down at herself. She narrowed her eyes, which glowed in the dark, as she stood up tall. She looked down at Celestia's sleeping body, as a grin spread across her muzzle and she bared her sharp teeth.
