Nightmare Moon saw Celestia with the elements of Harmony swirling around her. Nightmare Moon has prepared her magic and Celestia has too. But what Nightmare Moon didn’t see was that her sister was crying. Nightmare Moon has casted her magic and Celestia has as well. The two spells were fighting to gain control. As much as Nightmare Moon was striving to win, the magic of the Elements of Harmony was gaining control. Nightmare Moon opened her eyes and got scared. The magic grabbed her as she screamed, “Noooooooooo !!”
The magic went to the moon, when it got there, there was a possible explosion, when it ended, on the moon was a silhouette of a mare on the moon.
On the moon, Nightmare Moon was lying on the moon floor with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes, Nightmare Moon saw that the sky was black, but her fur was still visible, she didn’t camouflage herself. Nightmare Moon got nervous. She couldn’t be where she thought she was. Her eyes could only be playing with her. She sat on her hips and saw the earth. Nightmare Moon felt tears in her eyes. She couldn’t believe that her sister really did it. Now, Celestia was not only going to be her ‘sister’s day’ would be worshiped, the night would be worshiped as well, but who would be receiving the compliments would be Celestia, not Nightmare Moon. Nightmare Moon began to cry with sadness. Why? Why did this have to happen? All she wanted was for her night to be enjoyed. Why didn’t her subjects appreciate what she did to them? Would she stay on the moon forever? If so, she felt like crying forever and having somepony to stay with her. But what would it do? No pony will go to the moon and who would want to keep company for a monster like her?
Nightmare Moon lay down while crying, “Why, Tia? Why did you do that? I just wanted my subjects to enjoy my night. Why do you have to be so selfish?” she knew she shouldn’t just be crying, but her sadness was greater than any other feeling.
Suddenly Nightmare Moon heard hoofsteps approaching her. She looked in the direction of the hoofsteps, her tears stopping; but some still on her cheeks, and saw a tall black unicorn with a purple mane that had a white streak in it through the middle; the unicorn wore a crown with a light blue diamond and a diamond necklace around her neck. She had eyes matching Nightmare Moon’s. The unicorn looked concerned as she reached the princess of the night.
“Are you alright, darling?” the unicorn asked.
Nightmare Moon was surprised that she had a pony on the moon with her. Did her wishes for company come true? Whatever the reason, she needed to know why this unicorn was on the moon, “why are you on the moon?”
“I wonder too, dear. Why are you here?” said the unicorn, still concerned.
Nightmare Moon felt like crying, she looked at the floor. As she felt more tears in her eyes, “you wouldn’t understand…”
The unicorn approached Nightmare Moon. Nightmare didn’t realize it from Still looking at the floor. The unicorn was now very close to Nightmare Moon. The unicorn realized that he didn’t say his name, “I’m sorry, darling. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Nightmare Rarity”
Nightmare Moon looked at Nightmare Rarity now surprised. Was there another pony that also had the initial name “Nightmare”? Nightmare Moon always thought she was the only one whose initial name was “Nightmare”. But despite being surprised, she also decided to introduce herself, “My name is Nightmare Moon. The queen of the night”
Nightmare Rarity smiled at the name, “Your initial name is the same as mine, darling”
Nightmare Moon smiled, though her cheeks were still wet, “I noticed that too”
Nightmare Rarity sat next to Nightmare Moon, “So, would you like to tell me why you are here?”
Nightmare Moon seemed unsure of this, “you wouldn’t understand ...” she had her head down sadly.
Nightmare Rarity lifted Nightmare Moon’s chin and made Nightmare Moon look at her, “darling, I may not know why you’re here, but that doesn’t mean I won’t try to understand and understand why you’re here”
Nightmare Moon still wasn’t sure if she should tell the reason, “I don’t know…”
“Let’s go, dear. I swear I won’t mock you”, encouraged Nightmare Rarity with a smile.
Nightmare Moon smiled With those words, “ok. But it’s a long story”
Nightmare Moon began to tell about her foalhood and Celestia before they became princesses, when they became princesses, Celestia became the princess of the day and she the princess of the night. She and Celestia faced several enemies. But she began to realize that her subjects enjoyed her sister’s day more than her night, and that made her jealous. She tried her best to make her evening enjoyable, but her efforts went to nothing. So, tired of being in the shadow of her sister, she turned into Nightmare Moon, hoping that if she destroyed Celestia, her subjects would love her and enjoy her night. But even that was no good, because Celestia used the Elements of Harmony on her, and now she was on the moon.
After she finished telling, Nightmare Moon began to cry, knowing that she would never be loved and her night would never be enjoyed by the ponies.
Nightmare Rarity felt sorry for Nightmare Moon. She never imagined that Nightmare Moon was actually a princess. Well, she must have suspected, because Nightmare Moon’s Cutie Mark was a moon, symbolizing the night, and Nightmare Moon had a horn and wings, “darling, I didn’t know you felt that way. I’m sorry”
Nightmare Moon looked at Nightmare Rarity, “It’s not your fault. You probably don’t know what it means when somepony is more loved than you”
“But I understand, darling”, said Nightmare Rarity with a smile.
Nightmare Moon was surprised, but still had tears on her cheeks, “what?”
“I understand you, dear”, repeated Nightmare Rarity.
“How do you understand me? You’re not the princess of the night”, said Nightmare Moon, now confused.
“Well, you’re right. I am not the princess of the night. But I understand you, because my friends have replaced me with a mare wearing a sweatshirt and braces”, replied Nightmare Rarity.
Nightmare Moon was glad somepony understood her. But there was something that made her doubt, “How did you get to the moon? Have you also been banished by the Elements of Harmony?”
“No. I was taken to the moon by creatures called Nightmare. They offered me to be their queen, although I doubt whether I should accept it in the beginning, I accepted it in the end”, replied Nightmare Rarity.
Nightmare Moon was surprised. A pony, a subject of hers, was taken to the moon. She wondered how this pony didn’t die from breathlessness. But she decided not to question that, “So you can get out of the moon anytime you want?” she wanted to know.
“Yes, Dear. But I prefer to stay on the moon. I don’t want to see those ponies for a long time. Why do you want to know?” wanted to know Nightmare Rarity.
Nightmare Moon stared at the floor, “It’s because, unlike you, I’m trapped on the moon”
Nightmare Rarity was confused, “What do you mean, trapped on the moon? Can’t you leave until such a year comes?”
Nightmare Moon looked at Nightmare Rarity, “I don’t know. I don’t know if I will be imprisoned forever or if I will be released this year. But one thing I know, I won’t be released anytime soon”
Nightmare Rarity hugged Nightmare Moon, “Don’t worry, darling. I’ll be with you all these years”
Nightmare Moon was surprised, “Why would you want to be with me? You are the queen of nightmares. Don’t you rule here on the moon?”
“Yes. But unlike the earth, there are neither ponies on the Moon but only two of us. So I don’t need to take any political role. The only thing I do is command the Nightmares to do what I say”, replied Nightmare Rarity.
Nightmare Moon didn’t know why, but knowing that made her happy, “So, are you staying with me here on the moon?”
“Sure, darling”, said that, Nightmare Rarity hugged her. Nightmare Moon was surprised, no pony ever hugged her, especially in that form. Most ponies that saw her would run away from her. But Nightmare Moon was happy with that said . She didn’t know when her moon ban would end, but she now planned to spend a lot of time with this unicorn.
