Epilogue
Buttercream’s POV
It took time for Buttercream to find the room where Nightshade was at but eventually her and Peppermint Heart enter the suite. “Luna?” She asks walking in and not seeing the Princess of the night.
Princess Celestia as reading a book “Then the little pig said “Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin... Oh hello, Buttercream, Peppermint Heart, and little Cream Puff. I was just reading a story to Nightshade.”
“Nightshade” squeaked Cream puff from Buttercream’s back. Buttercream catches her daughter before the young unicorn could leap over to the still sleeping Nightshade.
“How is she doing, and where’s Luna. Shouldn’t she be here?”
“Nightshade will recover she needs rest after spending nearly all her magic, Luna... she’s in the operating room.”
“How bad was Luna wounded, Princess?” Peppermint Heart asks as he moves to the bed and brushes Nightshade’s mane.
“Her wing was broken, cut at the joint. Doctor Feel Good said they had to reset it so her tendons would heal properly. If not she wouldn’t be able to fly again so he got her to agree to an operation.” She looked to the door worry on her face her politician mask forgotten.
Buttercream was about to ask something else but the door opened by a nurse and Luna was pushed in laying on a bed. “I can walk you know.” Luna states as one of the nurses' motions for her to lay on the bed.
“Princess you are going to rest. You might be awake but we still used pain killers and local anesthetics, even you can be affected. You will rest.” The moved the bed so the two beds were near each other.
Buttercream lost her grip of Cream Puff and the filly leaped onto Nightshade’s bed and moves to snuggle next to the sleeping filly. “Nightshade.”
“Cream Puff you can’t snuggle up to Nightshade she needs to rest.”
Dr. Feel Good looks over “it alright, Nightshade just physically tired. Having someone snuggle with her wouldn’t harm her.” He looked over to Luna. “More importantly I think Mother and daughter can rest in the same bed.”
“I got this.” Peppermint Heart moved forward and with the skill of a professional child care worker, he maneuvered both foals and moved them over to Luna where Nightshade subconsciously snuggled up against luna’s side. Then Cream Puff took up Nightshade's other side.
“They are so cute.” Buttercream looks at Luna “I’m glad your okay Luna. Your my best friend, I... I don’t know how I would have reacted if you were hurt more.”
“I have some duties to tend to. I will be back later Luna.” Celestia says smiling and nuzzle her sister.
“I’m sure the press and nobles be wanting answers.”
“Maybe it not to late to have my horn broken?...” Celestia looked to the door then sighs and walks out.
“So Peppermint here finally asked me out. Our first date is Friday two weeks from now.”
Luna looks over to Peppermint who was blushing. “About time.”

Luna’s POV
Three months after the invasion Luna was flying again on her own. The gentle glide in the night air was refreshing.
Her flight wasn’t just enjoyment as she lands in front of the Golden Oaks Library her ear twitch hearing voices.
“Spike! Are the snacks ready?”
“Yes Twilight, and I checked twice.”
“I just want it to be perfect.”
“Princess Luna will not judge if we didn’t dust the top of the bookshelf for the third time,” Spike says as he brings out a tray with a variety of snacks.
“What we didn’t get the shelves dusted a third time? Spike I’m going to learn a whole new type of magic, everything has to be perfect. Hurry she be here any moment...”
The door opened and Luna walks in. “Everything is fine Twilight Sparkle, Spike you do a wonderful job on keeping the place cleaned.”
Twilight’s head turns a wide smile on her face “Princess Luna” A flash of her horn and a scroll and quill appears. “This going to be so much fun. What do I need?”
“First no quill or scroll. Mind magic is mental, not physical. Most of these lessons going to take place in the astral plane and the dream realm. You just have to wait till after to take notes.”
“No...notes?” Twilight’s eye twitches.
“Spike we need a place to lay down. During this time our bodies will be here but our minds will be elsewhere.”
“Sure Princess Luna I got the pillows set as you requested.”
“Thanks, noble spike. Now Twilight settles down and relaxes. Thought we wouldn’t be moving this isn’t resting. The expense of magic will tire you out. This first trip to the dream realm I will be guiding you along.” Luna says as she settles down and takes a nibble of a cucumber sandwich.
“Okay, Princess.” Twilight settles down trying to relax but was so excited about learning dream magic.
Luna’s horn lights up and a line of magic draws out and connects to Twilight’s.
The world faded away and Twilight found herself standing on a blue carpet floating among stars. Doors were on each side of the carpet spreading out into infinity.
“Beautiful isn’t it?” Luna stepped up from behind Twilight. “I chose as simple representation as I could. Each door is another pony’s dream.”
“Each door? It looks like the doors go on forever.”
“Not quite, I count around 7.6 million or so. That just in the Equestria nation, there are even more outside the nation. I can even pick up on the Zebra on the other side of the world. The less Pony like the harder it is for me to pick up a sleeping beings' mind.”
“That’s... seven million? There that many ponies in Equestria?”
“Indeed Twilight Sparkle. It was far less a thousand years ago.” Another form appeared before Twilight. Royal Purple with dark purple mane and tail. Nightshade in her full adult form.
Twilight backs up “Night... Nigh...”
Luna looks down at the now terrified Twilight. “Calm yourself Twilight. My Daughter has no desire to harm you.”
“But she... I saw...”
“I must apologize Twilight. I lost control of the Nightmare. In the end, you saw what your mind created as the worst possible situation.” Nightshade sighs as she bows.
“It was so real... I know it was a dream, but...”
Luna nods “That why I chose to start teaching you Dream magic first. So you can learn to control your nightmares and even tell if they are being controlled, normal or wild uncontrolled nightmares.”
“I’m bored let have some fun. Twilight pick a door.” Nightshade form shifted to her five-year-old variation. “Oh, this is a good dream!” Nightshade points to a door that has a pinkish glow to it.
“That door? Nightshade that not something she should see her first time in the dream realm.” Luna shakes her head.
“Is it a Nightmare?” Twilight curiosity got to her and she looked at the door. She even walked around it completely missing the fact she was walking on nothing.
Luna smirks “No it’s as far away from a Nightmare as one could get. Just... a bit private.”
Twilight opens the door and her eyes widen. From inside the dream, Miss Cake’s voice came out loud and clear. “Oh Pound that cake!” Followed by grunts. Twilight slams the door close blushing.
“I did warn you Twilight.” Luna couldn’t help laughing. “First lesson the glow changes depending on what type of dream. As you can tell the pinkish-red is very... um... passionate.”
The hall of dreams was filled with the laughter of a filly.

You should make a chapter in Joys of Parenthood explaining more about the dream realm, like the glows and what they mean, maybe a continuation of Nightshade and Luna teaching Twilight about it in this chapter. The ending's really good.
A perfect way to end this story, got to admit that part of showing Twilight a 'Sex' dream was just PERFECT.
10064866
I already got such a chapter planned. After all in this universe there no Tantabus. Now a cleaver Twilight Sparkle getting lost on her first solo drea....(mumbles).
Pinkie Pie smiles “No Spoilers!”
Little stinker set up Twilight so well
10064874
Aww, Pinkie, that's not nice...at least give her a warning.
Looks like Nightshade is going to be more on the level of other foals when I comes to power for a while. Also interesting how Celestia's cacoon dream was Sunset coming back, so EQG is cannon in this verse. Will Cadance being more proactive wreck Sunsets plan to steal Twilight's crown, or maybe even Nightshade being around. Having a domineering not quite child not quite adult Alicorn around can really mess up your plans as Chryissy learned. Also how does seeing the Queen get stomped by Nightmare Moon effect her guard's confidence in her? It didn't take much to make them give turn on her in cannon, additional examples of incompitence and seeing her lose a fight might make her less able to rule via fear.
I think the story you mean was dreamwalker dash, but I am not certain about it.
10065024
I had something in mind to write about the changelings. Then I forgot to write it! Well anyway remember it was only Chrysalis and the mane 6 that were affected by the dream spell. So only Chrystalis knows what really happened. Would you tell anyone that you were defeated by a one-year-old? They also turned on her seeing not just her being weak but also means to gain love themselves Thorax showed another means of survival.
As for Sunset and the EQ universe, I'm still writing down ideas of what would happen.
10064875
She is going to be a worse prankster then the sisters
10064950
Her? Last I checked I was a male Brony. No accidentally or wanted sex change.
I think that be the next Joys story given the dream realm fresh in my mind.
10068344
Sorry, I meant him, but I was writing a story with a female character at the moment, so I accidentally typed 'her'. Apologies.
10068350
No problem just teasing you a little my friend
10068381
Ah. So the Little Pony has been schooled.
10068412
Nightshade has to get it from somewhere.
10068426
Indeed. You know what would be cool?
If in the story, we learn Luna used to be that way, then she grew more serious as her job required her to soothe the ponies in their Nightmares.
10068440
That or Celestia after all Celestia got her Trollestia nickname in the fandom for a reason. Oh how Nightshade would pout if Luna says “She’s a prankster just like Celestia”
10068723
Sorry, was busy. But yeah, I can picture that. Although it would give Nightshade a good bonding point with Celestia when she gets older. It does seem like she's slowly forgetting what it was like to be Nightmare Moon, as we see her acting like a normal foal sometimes.
Nice overall. I am curious how much of a time gap there is between Luna and Twilight’s POV.
10069661
Hmm good point It long enough that Luna’s horn healed. So I would say at least a month but I would place it closer to three months after the invasion.
I made an edit to add in the time for Luna to heal.
10069661
Wait I might be miss understanding. Where do you mean?
10069724
You had it right. I was curious how much time passed between the hospital and Luna visiting Twilight.
10072473
It's normal, my English is my second language, I too manage to misspell a lot of things
10099219
That actually sounds like something that would happen, it plays really well with what you written so far. Oh so I was wondering if you'll write season 3 before EQG 1.
10099676
I only had three stories in mind for Nightshade. Each changes her farther from Nightmare Moon.
The Joys of Parenthood and the Equestrian Girls story is added bonus content I just having fun with.
10099676
It dawned on me I didn’t answer the question. I be writing Equestrian Girls adventure next.
I’m thinking of...mmmhmmm
“I said before silly no spoilers!” - Pinkie Pie
10280388
Your right that would have worked well. If I return to the Mother Moon stories I could add it in.
Now back to the side stories I'm reading them like omake episodes like in anime.
11324340
I’m glad you are enjoying these. I keep having ideas of Nightshade’s first day of school so perhaps a new one might come out. Eventually that is, my life a little chaotic at the moment.
