7.00 PM

I have spent a lengthy period of time with Luna today. I love our little chats. They are refreshing. Perhaps I can even reach a point where I can start to trust Luna again, and have her serve by my side.

Of course, she will never be any sort of replacement for Twilight herself, but perhaps she can be a maid or something of the sort.

I was telling her today about my great advancements in learning about the Scourge.

Luna told me that I might be quite mistaken, and that this Scourge was nothing more than a normal Earth Pony trying to live a normal life, and that I should leave her very well alone, and that I was overreacting to a threat that only existed in the rules that I have made up for myself and blah blah blah blah.

The silly peanut has no idea what Pinkamina is.

If she only spent a single day with her, she would understand. Pinkamina is a blight upon the land. A searing flash of overexposed colour disrupting the harmonious landscape. She has a really, really annoying voice.

It is true that all Ponies have their faults, except for me, but hers just irritates me.

Her magical ability is also a genuine threat.

Just you wait, I told Luna. Wait and see. I will not stand idly by and be naive, peanut. I will take charge, just as I did a thousand years before, and lead our land into a new era of prosperity and fewer parties!

Luna maintains that I have been in charge for far too long and that I need to get a little perspective. She asked me exactly how constantly staring at a really small, nearly insignificant town would aid in this, especially when most of my attention over the past few months have been focused on about six specific ponies, and on-and-off three others, who are just children, and how could they possibly affect the world to the point that I am talking about?

Well, I said. Well.

Well.

I don't know, really. I forgot what I told her, to be honest.

Thinking about it, I was really only keeping an eye on Twilight, right?

And then she makes friends with these others, and one of them happens to be the Scourge. That was a prime opportunity for me to jump on and I couldn't possibly let that slip by.

Yes, that's right. It's all for that one thing.

I'm surer now than I have ever been before in the last 15 minutes.

I must remain vigilant for my Ponies! That's right, the Ponies. It's all for them.

I would have retired centuries ago if I didn't know that some other Pony would just come along and ruin it for everyone.

And to think the only one I had ever trusted all those thousand years ago was Luna, and she broke my heart. How can I ever trust anyone else again?

Ah... Luna.

I miss those times. Do you miss them too?

There used to be a time when we were standing together, side by side, together in all things against the world.

What happened to those times, and what happened between us that led to it being like this?

What should I do, Luna? What should I do?

I... just can't decide.

Luna, if you can't rule beside me as Princess, will you at least stand beside me as my sister?

I still love you, Luna. You are family.

Where was that guy I had locked up beside her?!
