Nightmare has it all. Everything she worked for is now hers. Equestria? Check. Eternal night? Double-check. But there's always a price to pay. For Nightmare Moon? It's the two voices in her head. But the solution may lie in the kitchen.

When five foals asked Princess Twilight Sparkle to please try and paint the moon purple during Nightmare Night, she initially refused. It wasn't until they insisted (and Princess Luna quite basically dared her) that she relented. She only relented, however, because she really thought she wouldn't be able to do it.

Too bad she thought wrong.

A very silly story that started as a prompt that got way, way, way out of hand.

Time and again, against her parents wishes, a young rascal escapes her room with intent. It's something related to Canterlot castle, but she won't tell them what, no matter how many times they drag her home. No matter how many times she loses her nerve and turns back herself.

Tonight she's making her final attempt, and this time she won't fail.

No matter how much the moon scares her.

Something strange is happening down in the Everfree Forest, so Luna goes to investigate, but is unprepared for what, and indeed who she is going to find.

Behind Celestia's graceful smile and kind eyes, secrets are hidden with a thousand years of practice. The whispered legends of her depravity hide a dark grain of truth, hidden in the mists of time: the clash with Nightmare Moon left her with scars that will never heal.

This was written before Season 4: it's in a Season 3 universe.
An eighth chapter, by Icebox Froggie, is on its way, and will be added to the story at some point.

Written for a Write-off contest, the prompt being "The Best Medicine".

Twilight Sparkle has always pushed her boundaries.

This time it may have backfired, leaving Luna with many questions for Celestia.

Foremost?

"Why?!"
