A story of Luna's descent into madness, her becoming Nightmare Moon and her confrontation with Celestia.

A special thanks to ponyphonic for giving me permission to use a few of his lyrics from one of his songs, The Moon Rises, seriously, check that out, it was the inspiration for this story for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPjVCIX5Fvs

Yes, I am aware how clichéd this is, but I wanted to write it.

Twilight, Luna, Applejack and Rainbow Dash go on a camping trip together while Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are away in Manehattan, but what adventures lie for them on the way? Will they make it in one piece? Exactly what are Applejack's feelings for Rainbow Dash? And who does Twilight like?

Princess Celestia’s 5000th birthday is fast approaching. The Mane Six and Luna decide to work together and throw a party for her, with many surprises that neither she nor they will ever forget.

A big thank you goes to Conicer, who made the wonderful cover art for me!
