The school day had come to an end, and Burst and Nightmare headed home. Their evening was pretty quiet until Sunset text Burst. 'Something's come up. Bring Moon with you. I've already called everyone else. Come as soon as you can.'. "I guess we're needed. Mom. Moon and I are headed out. Sunset needs the both of us for something."
"Make sure to bring your phone!"
"Okay! We won't be gone too long!" The two of them headed to CHS to see just what Sunset wanted to meet with them about. Inferno had flown there with his dragon wings. Oddly enough, Principal Celestia was there too. "So Sunset. Why did you call all of us here?"
"You'll find out right about now.", Sunset said as Princess Celestia, Luna, and Twilight stepped out of the portal to Equestria.
"Hello again Burst Stream.", Princess Celestia greeted.
"Nice to see you again princesses. But why are you here?"
"I will only ask this once Burst.", Luna said bluntly. "Where is Nightmare Moon?" Moon stepped out from behind Burst to face Luna. "Burst. hold still." Luna then used her magic to scan Burst. "There's no enchantment on you. So it seems she hasn't manipulated you." Soon Ace came flying in with Sonata.
"Sorry we're late! I'm guessing these three are from Equestira?", Ace asked noticing the royal garb Princesses Celestia and Luna were wearing.
"Twilight, is that one of the sirens?", Princess Celestia asked.
"Uhhhh...It's a long story."
"And why does he have dragon wings and eyes?", Luna asked pointing to Ace.
"I defeated my evil brother.", Ace said. The three princesses had a look of shock on their faces. "Yeeaahhh. That's a long story too."
"And a story for another time.", Luna said. "My sister, Twilight, Sunset and I would like a word with Nightmare Moon in private." Burst was about to protest, but Moon stopped him.
"Burst. It'll be alright. It's time for me to face what lies ahead." And with that, she left to speak with them. "So. What do you want to know?" Twilight was the first to ask a question.
"How did you manage to survive after being banished by the elements?"
"I almost didn't. I was just a pile of mystical mist until Burst Stream and Inferno came to Equestria. Burst left a good amount of residual magic behind. Enough to create a new body for me when I crossed over to this world through that mirror portal." Luna was the next to ask a question.
"So. Have you tried to bring eternal night to this world as well?", her voice was laced with animosity.
"At first that was my plan. Until I heard from the one I had allied myself told me what would happen as a result. After that, I abandoned the idea altogether. It made me realize how much pain I had caused Celestia. The fate I would have condemned Equestria to. And how much pain I caused to Luna. How much pain I caused you mom."
"What did you call me?"
"Mom. It may sound odd, but I view you as my mother. I was born from your envy of Celestia. And I felt the need to make you happy. To make people love you as they loved Celestia. And all it caused you was pain.", Moon said as her eyes were tearing up. "I-I'm so sorry." Luna was in shock!
"I...I had...no idea you saw me like that.", Luna said in a guilty tone. "It makes me feel bad that I've shown such contempt for you."
"I can't blame you.", Moon said with a sad smile. Celestia was the last one to speak.
"So when did this all change?"
"After I had that realization, I had nightmares. Nightmares about being banished to the moon, and the consequences of what would have happened if I had won and brought eternal night. They were so horrible they made me cry, and I woke up Burst Stream. I told him who I was and what I had done. I thought for sure he would hate me just like anyone else would. But he didn't. He held me close and told me that he didn't care about my past. That I could have a fresh start here. And that as long as I had him, I'd never be alone. He introduced me to his friends, and they all accepted me. For the first time in my life I felt like I wasn't a monster. So do what you will to me. I accept my fate."
"I think we've all come to a decision...", Celestia said with a gentle smile. Soon the five of them appeared before the group.
"What are you going to do with Moon?", Burst asked.
"Your highness. Burst told us about Moon's past and what she did here. But she's a good person when you get to know her! Please don't banish her!", Ace said.
"I agree with them.", Principal Celestia said. "Moon may have done some bad things in her past. But she's making up for it here. She has people who care about her. You wouldn't take that away from her would you?"
Princess Celestia smiled. "Moon will be staying here with all of you. Upon hearing her talk about how you people have changed her, and how you made her feel loved, my sister, Twilight, and I have decided she should stay here. And she mentioned you in specific Burst. She's lucky to have you." At hearing this news, Moon could barely contain her joy as she rushed up to Burst and kissed him! It was unexpected, but not unwelcome.
"Um, Moon? You know I'm already dating my world's Celestia right?"
"I believe we can work something out.", Principal Celestia said as she walked up to Burst. "No reason why we can't share right?"
Moon cracked a smile. "I've got no problem with Burst having more than one girlfriend! What about you Burst?", she asked in a flirty tone.
Burst smiled. "The more the merrier."
"That's it. He is officially the luckiest guy I know if he can have two girlfriends at the same time who are that attractive!", Inferno said with a smile. "Of course they got nothing on Rarity!", he said giving Rarity a wink. Rarity blushed at hearing that.
"I guess that wraps up everything nicely!", Burst said.
"BURST STREAM!", a dark voice howled!
"Oh great. What's going on now?!" Soon a dark mist rolled in and Sombra materialized.
"Vengeance is mine!"
