"Twilight? Where are you?"
"..."
"I know this situation is bad, but you have to keep fighting! Let me help you!"
"..."
"Twilight! Twi- Oh, there you are..."
Luna sat next to the student of magic.
"Twilight... You've been in here for almost a week now, you have to go back out soon..."
Twilight did not respond. Not even looking back to acknowledge the moon princess's presence.
"Twilight... Your friends are worried about you..."
That got a twitch out of Twilight's ear.
She turned her head to face the night princess.
"I don't have any friends." she said resolutely.
"Don't say that Twilight! You know your friends love you. Don't think for a second-"
"Love me?" Twilight calmly responded, "They abandon me on a whim. Friends? I have none."
"Twilight-"
"No. Don't try Luna. You are the only one who hasn't yet betrayed me. Allow me to keep a little happiness."
"Twilight... You need to know that my sister has-"
"Don't you dare mention her!"
Luna was nearly blown back by the sudden burst of emotion.
"Twilight she-"
"I don't give a buck what she's done! That monster can't hurt me here. I'm free of her conniving and manipulation! She and my so-called friends can burn in Tartarus!"
"Twilight! She wants you back! Since you've been in here Celestia hasn't-"
"I told you not to say her name here!"
"Twilight...I- I didn't want it to come to this, but you give me no choice." Luna's horn flared, "If you won't listen to me willingly, I'll force you to listen to your friends!"
Rising from the ground with a great flap of her majestic wings Luna's horn flashed. Burning with the immense power of her celestial godhood, Luna worked to bend incomprehensible magic of the universe bending to her will.
When the flash cleared Luna descended and landed once again by Twilight.
"I'm sorry Twilight, but you needed to come out of there, you would not have lasted much longer without intervention." Luna lowered a wing around the shaking unicorn. "You will one day understand that this was necessary for-"
Twilight turned her head to the lunar princess, "You were the last one I trusted." She was shaking in anger, "and you just had to go and break that trust."
Luna's gaze stayed on Twilight's face, only flinching slightly in response to Twilight's unexpected rage. "I know you may not like it, but I'm doing this for you Twilight. To save you."
"Take a look around princess. What do you see?"
For the first time since using her magic Luna looked at their surroundings. Now she was shocked.
"How! How did you stop my magic? We should have been transported out of here! This is MY domain! There is nothing more powerful in here than myself!"
The shaking under Luna's wing increased. Twilight was laughing.
"You really think you can overpower me here? This isn't your domain! It's mine!" Twilight's laughter stopped abruptly, "And it's time for you to go."
Luna closed her eyes to hide from the bright flash of Twilight's horn. When she could see again, she could make out the form of the purple mare before her.
Still lying in the same hospital bed, and still shrouded in the shadows of the week long night.
Luna sat, listening to the beeping of the heart monitor, watching the almost imperceptible drain of the IV bags above the stu- former student of magic.
"Twilight..."
