My attempt at a more serious 'Luna meets Neil Armstrong' storyline. What would really happen, both on the moon and on Earth? Inspired by 'The Eagle has Landed' by CyanBlackStone.

Princess Luna has found herself on a very different moon after some strange force interfered with her banishment. She doesn't know what the metal objects that keep orbiting and sometimes landing there are, but she wants to find out. Meanwhile, Neil Armstrong believes that being the first man on the moon will be the crowning achievement of his life. Hoo boy, is he ever in for a surprise.

Sometimes I just hated going to school with all of those stupid foals. None of them were as pretty or awesome as I was back then. They all thought that I was really mean to them, but what did they know?

At least, that's what I thought at the time. One day I had to have a talk with Ms. Cheerilee about it, and I didn't like what she had to say...

Now with a dramatic reading!

Discord has been reformed for quite some time now, and so far, everything seems to be going fine.

Fluttershy doesn't think so, however, so she sets off to talk to him.

After all, what are friends for?

After giving it a lot of thought and gathering some information, Rainbow Dash decides to become Scootaloo's sole guardian. However, Scootaloo's mom is still around, so Rainbow Dash has to get her to give up custody of the adorable little squirt. Luckily, Rainbow Dash has the perfect plan for that.

A mammoth being of ancient metals and gears has awakened from the earth with the sole intention of destroying every villain in Equestria. Untouchable, unmovable, Discord remains as its last target of worth. Now the Spirit of Chaos must beg for Celestia's aid, even if things are so much more complicated than he would have ever wanted.

Celestia admires Luna. But she does not envy her. The night turns to day once again, and Celestia remembers, and reflects.

She may not have Luna's strength. But she would not trade her gift for all the world.

This story is a sequel to The Moon Has a Softer Light

Celestia has been many things in her life. Hero, General, Savior, Sovereign, and Teacher. There are many things she's done as the Light of Equestria, but a chance encounter has made Luna realize Celestia's subjects view her with an emotion she never thought they could.

Fear.

(This story is a sequel to The Moon Has a Softer Light, although most of the relevant details are covered at the start of this story, so reading is not required.)

Rainbow Dash means the world to Scootaloo, who wants nothing more than to spend every day with her surrogate sister, learning from the best and being awesome together. Yet all that is about to end, possibly forever, and Scootaloo knows there's nothing she can do about it.

The only thing left to do is say goodbye... but that's proving far harder than she ever imagined.

Celestia wants to take a day off, but things just keep getting in the way... just like they have for thousands of years. Little things like small-town mayors, stuck-up princes, and of course, the obligatory dragon invasion.
