//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Even Luna (The Princess of the Night) has Nightmares // by Creativa-Artly01 //------------------------------// A few nights after her talk with Celestia and Twilight, Luna begins to start having dreams of being abandoned by her sister on top of her dreams about turning into Nightmare Moon to the point she can no longer sleep. After a while of staying awake, Luna turns to the only pony she feels will listen to her on this particular dream, Twilight Sparkle. A few minutes later, she knocks on Twilight's door and gets a frantic come in from the young princess. Luna then enters the room. "Hey Luna," says Twilight, "what's wrong?" "I had another nightmare, a nightmare about Celestia abandoning me, and I haven't been able to sleep because of it," sighs Luna. "Well, we can talk about it in a minute once I get this last book on its shelf," says Twilight as she uses her magic to guide it into place before climbing down the ladder. "Ready to talk?" Luna nods and then begins explaining everything that happened in the nightmare to Twilight. "It was the most horrible nightmare of them all," sighs Luna, "Celestia abandoning me still scares me to this day I guess. In the nightmare, she pushed me to the side and flew off back to our old home alone, like she didn't want me anymore. What am I to do? I'm a leader, I'm supposed to be strong, not the weakling you see me as right now because of these nightmares." "Oh Luna," says Twilight. "We don't see you as weak because of these nightmares. You have nightmares just like any other pony. It's fine." "Yeah, then what should I do?" asks Luna. "I'd say confront your sister, let her know how you feel," responds Twilight. "That's all you really can do." "Yeah, but if I confront her, she may leave like she did in the dream," Luna responds as her eyes well up with tears. Twilight then embraces her in a hug and does her best to comfort Luna but to no aveil. After several hours, Luna's tears finally come to a stop and the two go and talk with Celestia once again. "Celestia," sniffles Luna, "you'd never abandon me, would you?" "Luna," responds Celestia sweetly, "of coarse I wouldn't. One thousand years without you was enough. Why?" "It's the nightmares," explains Twilight as Luna begins to cry again. "She had a nightmare that you abandoned her and flew off back to your old home." "Oh," responds Celestia, "well, that would never happen. Luna, I promise." "Thank you, sister," responds Luna as she falls into Celestia's arms and gives her a great big hug. "You have no idea how much that means to me hearing that come from you." The two sisters then go and spend the rest of the day together at the royal spa. It's exactly what Luna needs to relax and unwind.
