After a long day of making a new suit….he is still slowly recovering. So...he decides to take a well deserved sleep. He deserved it. While he was sleeping, he was dreaming of him swinging across Equestria. While he was swinging around, he found himself in the Everfree Forest. He stops swinging and starts looking around. Eventually, he finds Princess Luna just standing in front of a statue of her past self: Nightmare Moon.
“Still having problems getting over it, Luna?” Midnight asked Luna.
“Yeah. Why do you ask?” Luna replied.
“Hey, we all have done terrible things that we regret in our lives. Even me. Why do you think I do this? It’s to always make my mother proud….even though I can’t forgive myself for what I did, we try moving on and make things right. It’s not what you’ve done in the past that defines who you are, it’s the choices you make right now that do.”.
“But, I’ve almost destroyed Equestria in the process….how can I forgive myself for that?”.
“.......Come...I’ve got something to show you.”
Luna follows Midnight across the Everfree forest to the Castle of the Two Sisters. Luna still remembers that was where Wolf-Spider and Nightmare Moon fought. But Midnight is not trying to show her the memories of their fight, he’s trying to show her something else. This is not just the place where Wolf-Spider and Nightmare Moon fought, it was where Wolf-Spider fought his mother’s killer.
“What is this?” Luna asked Midnight.
“This is where I found my mother’s killer...the one that led the timberwolves to her and took her away from me”.
Luna sees the old Wolf-Spider tossing the pony around in rage. The killer didn’t stand a chance. Wolf-Spider tossed him around like an old broken toy. Luna knew that Midnight was trying to show her something about this scene. When the old Wolf-Spider brought the killer in a chokehold and dragged him to a broken window, the shining of the moon revealed the killer’s face. The old Wolf-Spider stands there in shock because he knows that face. The scene changes to where the old Wolf-Spider saved a citizen from the killer but he let the killer go.
“Why?....Why did you let him go?” Luna asked Midnight.
“Because that’s not what my mother would have wanted…..I knew better than that. With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility….I didn’t choose to be this…...but I have to accept the fact that I can help others. It’s what my mother would have wanted. So...I’m doing this to make her proud” Midnight replied.
The scene changes and they’re back in the Everfree Forest. Music was heard in the background. The environment around them was making that music…..and Midnight started to sing.
“Hmmm….hey. Mmmmm. Hey! Don’t think about it. Just move your body. Listen to the music. Sing “Oh-ey-oh”. Just move those left feet. Go ahead, get crazy. Anypony can do it. Sing “Oh-eh-oh”. Show the world you got that fire. Feel the rhythm getting louder. Show the world what you can do. Prove to them you’ve got the moves. Hey! I don’t know about you, but I feel better when I’m dancing. Yeah, yeah. I’m better when I’m dancing. Yeah, yeah. We can do this together. I bet you feel better when you’re dancing. Yeah, yeah.”
Midnight started to dance to the music. Luna felt an urge to dance with him but she denied it. The environment around them was beautiful. The turtles gave the song a beat. The winds gave the song a beautiful whistle. The fireflies came out to give the song a more environment.
“When you finally let go, and you slay that solo. ‘Cause you listen to the music. Sing “Oh-eh-oh”. ‘Cause you’re confident, babe, and you make your hooves say “We knew you that you could do it. Sing “oh-eh-oh”. Show the world you got that fire. (Fire, baby) Feel the rhythm getting louder. Show the world what you can do. Prove to them you’ve got the moves. Hey! I don’t know about you, but I feel better when I’m dancing. Yeah, yeah. I’m better when I’m dancing. Yeah, yeah. (Oh, oh, oh) And we can do this together. I bet you feel better when you’re dancing. Yeah, yeah. (Hey)”
The fireflies shined even brighter than ever before. Luna started to tap her left hoof. She couldn’t control herself. She started to forge a smile while Midnight was just making a fool out of himself.
“Hey! Oh-eh-oh. Oh-eh-oh. I feel better when I’m dancing. I’m better when I’m dancing. Ey. Oh-eh-oh.”
And just before Midnight knew it, Luna decided to join in and started to sing with him.
“I feel better when I’m dancing. Yeah, yeah. Better when I’m dancing. Yeah, yeah. Don’t you know-”
Midnight smiled and decided to sing a long side her.
“We can do this together. Bet you feel better when you’re dancing. Yeah, yeah. Oh. Ba-ba-ba-da ba ba ba ba da da. De la da da da da. You got the moves, babe. Ba ba da da. Ba-ba-ba-da ba ba ba ba da da. De la da da da da. I feel better when I’m dancing. I’m better when I’m dancing. Hey, feel better when I’m-...Yeah, yeah.”
When the song was over, Midnight saw Luna smiling. Midnight smiled back and walked up to her.
“You see, we all make mistakes. But it’s what we do right now that defines who we are. We will make mistakes, but that’s the beauty of life itself. You get to learn from them and become something more great….With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility”.
“Th-....Thank you, Midnight. You’re right. I shouldn’t beat myself up over what I did. I can make up for it…….Thank you”
Luna gave Midnight a hug with happy tears in her eyes and Midnight embraced the hug. Midnight wakes up from his dream with a smile on his face. He knows that not everybody may had suffered what he went through that many years ago, but that doesn’t mean they need help….he is a hero and he is here to help everypony.
