Dear Dream Diary,
Tonight, a guest visited our castle.
Tonight, we came so close to the power of controlling time itself.
Tonight… we were foolish.
Wait, why do I keep calling this tonight? There has NEVER been a day since my return! …or does that still make this tonight?
Nevermind! That purple alicorn and her dragon pet escaped before we could learn the secret behind their time travel… but in doing so, they left behind a very crucial clue: that lone table sitting in the Everfree Forest.
Whatever that pony did, that table is a piece of the puzzle. But my guards searched it thoroughly, and found nothing of significant use! Oh, they found drawers in six different spots around the edge that “looked like perfect snack compartments,” but what good are those?! When would we ever--oh, right. Moon pies. I should keep that in mind--
Ugh… Sister, we do not have time for you right now. We are busy cracking the mystery of the magic table! Keep it down up there!
Back to the table. Since the guards found nothing significant to activate any latent time magic, even with a myriad of rudimentary spells to goad some reaction from the table only to earn no response, we must conclude that there is another piece to make it work. A magic scroll, or artifact perhaps, but we do not recall any such things for time travel existing before our dear sister sent us away.
Did that pony invent it herself, then? Or… did that old fool of a court mage…?
Well well, it seems we’ll have to visit Canterlot. What’s left of it, anyway--THAT is the TENTH stained-glass window you’ve broken in two hours, Celestia! Just because I threw one rock at you every night for a thousand years doesn’t mean you get to throw as many as you want in my eternal night! You’ll run out that way!
...Ahaha, she will run out of rocks to throw! What will you do THEN, sister?! Ahahahahahahahaha-OOF!
...I don’t think I’ve thrown a piece that large before. But forget the windows! She destroyed my room! My bed and carpet are ruined! RARITY!
Fix this at once! ...What do you mean you only do tapestries and dresses? Did we hire you for sass?!
...Fine! We’ll see if that farm mare can fill in the hole in the floor and bed while you handle the carpet. You know, the one that looks like she grows citrus. Or pears, maybe.
We do not care what she grows! Just get her here!
You are dismissed. In the meantime, I have some other rubble to sort through--
What the? Is that… us? Does that mean we’ve found out how to travel through time?!
Perfect! Tell us where it is, and we shall--um, no, the table is perfectly fine. Why do you ask?
You dare insist that something will happen to it? In our kingdom?! Hah, the only thing that’s going to happen is us using it to travel through time! Now tell us where we can find--
Oh moon pudding, she’s gone! Oh well, we learned she found it, which means we can find it too! And what’s the worst that could happen to that table, anyway? My sister crushing it with more moon debris? What lunacy! She doesn’t even know where it is!
Now, it’s finally time for my departure. We shall see who gets the last laugh, little purple alicorn! Ahahahahahahahahahaha-OW! That is NOT funny, sister! Do you have any idea how long it took Rarity to apply my mascara?!

... OMG, she's not just evil, she's completely insane ... I like it!
Hmm, I smell paradox. Delicious
Nightmare Moon is a lunatic.
Aaaaaahh revenge is sweet.

I have absolutely no clue what you mean. *Fails at keeping a straight face*
Celestia is vindictive, huh? And it seems nopony remembers Applejack's name. XD
Hmmm. I mean, if Celestia can hurl a rock at sufficient velocity to break lunar orbit and hit Equestria, then she could presumably fly off, so it must be magic keeping her on the moon, rather than gravity. But if she keeps throwing rocks (i.e. pieces of the moon), the last rock will just be her moving in orbit (by magic). Assuming she can hurl that final rock without anything to brace against, would Celestia follow it down, as it is the final piece of the moon she was banished to? Would Celestia be free, or just trapped on top of a gigantic rock plateau where Canterlot/the Everfree Forest/Central Equestria used to be, since that is now "the moon?"

Lunacy
That just happened
(Hugs to those who get the reference :3)
I'm not sure what to make of that last bit. Did Nightmare Moon travel in time, was that Luna from another timeline, or did she just see her reflection in the corner of her eye and assume that she succeeded?
It's funny how Twilight Sparkle outsmarted Nightmare Moon twice in the series: once in season 1, and the other time in the season 5 finale. So that's Twilight Sparkle: 2, Nightmare Moon: 0.
Also, have a bubblegum, Nightmare Moon. It may help you relieve your stress a bit.

... She threw rocks at Celestia while banished. She threw ROCKS at Celestia while banished. And Celestia, of course, is using what she did as an excuse to constantly hurl rocks back. And Nightmare Moon's response is to grump about what's been destroyed and laugh at the fact that she'll run out eventually, instead of worrying about the destruction that will be caused before then. Sigh... is there no sane leader in Equestria? They're all lunatics!
It is good to have some humor back in the story, though. Those last two chapters were kind of depressing.
6699144 I think it was a reference ''it's a matter of time''
6699144
It was Starswirl's unaltered spell, she was talking to her future self.
6699144
The first one's on the money, referencing the fact that Starswirl's time spell would be unaltered in that timeline. If it was the second, I doubt NMM would be thrilled to see her untainted form, and the third is just too damn crazy.
And yes, I said that third one was too crazy with an absolutely straight face, in spite of me writing a pony-and-cake wedding.
Story Continuity!
6699203 I went back and re-read the first two chapters, and now I feel really stupid for pointing out something that I should have already known and reacted to. Honestly, I forgot about the rock- throwing thing completely.
NMM would later go on to create a new sport around celly constantly throwing rocks at her, and call it moonball, moonball went on the be the next equestrian pasttime
6699098
Half-LifePortal 3 Confirmed!6706424 Said sport was created on her wedding day to the Lady Rarity during the saying of the vows. Celestia had thrown a particularly dusty rock and to prevent the dust from dirtying their dresses NMM used one of the ceremonial spears to swat the rock back.
