Where am i!? Who are 'thee!?" Luna woke from her short rest, to be quickly grasped into a tight hug by her worried sister. "Never... Scare me like that... EVER again..." Luna's face filled with confusion as she heard the shaking tone in her sister's voice. "What are 'thou talking about...?!" She said, gently pushing her sister away, and looked into her eyes. "Twilight found you passed out in the library. I, on the other hand, had to set the sun while you were unconscious." Set the sun..? It must be night time. I'm far to dizzy myself to preform the memory of a memory spell. Maybe i could convince Celestia to do so. If not, then Twilight or Cadence should be on my side if i give them a explanation. Luna thought to herself. "Where's Twilight...?" She said. Celestia looked confused at her sister. "WHERE IS SHE!" Luna snapped, jumping out of bed. "Luna, this kind of behavior has gone on long enough!" Celestia snapped back. Surprised to had gotten a irritated look from her sister. "You know what, 'thy sister!?" Luna said, getting closer to Celestia's face. Not realizing Cadence and Twilight sitting in chairs. Obviously surprised. "I'm sick and tired of everything that you've put me through! Everyone's always loved you, and your day more than my night! Do 'thee think i'm not worthy of taking care of myself?! Do 'thy ever even THINK of me!? Did 'thy ever shed a tear due to my disappearance!? I don't remember ONCE when you said 'I'll always be here for you, Luna..' and i've said it MILLIONS of times to you! I understand, you might have felt a sharp pain in 'thy neck, from sending me away for a THOUSAND years, but has 'thy even considered bringing me back!? NO! Mother and father always loved you more... They favored you... And what did they do to me?! They basically predicted evil, and trained you to become the dominate sister! The day is important, but without my night, how would ponies know when to sleep!? It's obvious that you're day is important. I understand this! But the day and night are equal. A beautiful harmony. But obviously, you, TRULY, have no idea of the pain i suffer from everypony else! Sure, sure, 'thy say they love me. But you never show it! And I am sorry to say, but this sister ship, and harmony are OVER!" She screamed the last sentence, and stomped her hoof. She stared into her sister's eyes. Which were filled with tears. Twilight stood up and said "Come on, Princess..." She shot a dirty glare at Luna. "That was uncalled for, Luna..." She hugged her aunt, and with Twilight's assistance, slowly walked Celestia to her room. "Do you see that?" A voice said. Luna looked around, puzzled to find that there was no one else in the room. "The exact same treatment that caused me to take over before." "Oh no..." Luna whispered. "Oh yes. Please, allow your thoughts to slip into me." The voice said again. "I REFUSE!!" Luna screamed. "It shall not me long now." Luna ran out onto the balcony. The night now was cloudy. She then flew off the balcony, obviously not paying attention to her wings becoming wet, and feathers sticking together. Her wings uncontrollably shut, and she fell, head first upon the ground. She tried to pry her eyes open with all of her force. She saw a dark image, surrounded by a black aurora. It slowly rubbed her hoof against her head. "Sleep." It said, "And remember why we ruled in the first place." She continued, as she slowly put her horn up to Luna's. "You will never take over again... Nightmare Moon..." She said as she slowly began to fade. "I already have." She smirked. ~~~~~~~~~~ Luna's eyes opened. To see herself standing behind Celestia, next to her younger self. She touched her head, to see now that it went right through, as if she was never there. She walked over to the balcony, and saw everypony praying and cheering for their celestial goddess. Celestia smiled and whispered to herself, unaware that Luna was behind her. "Surely, there is nopony so lovely, and so beloved as I." "Yea... Of course there isn't..." Luna said, turning around as she turned her head, and ears flopped. "Sister!" Celestia turned around. "What are you doing here?!" "I live here." She said, feeling upset. "Well... Make yourself useful, and go prepare for the night!" As Luna walked away, the ponies cheered loudly. Celestia did some kind of pose to cover it up, and make it like they were cheering for her. The present Luna followed the younger one, seeing how many tears were falling down her cheeks. "I wish i were Princess Celestia..." She said, wiping the tears away, and jumping onto her bed. "She has everything... Love... Caring subjects... And what do i have...? A sister who dosen't show the least amount of love for me..." The present Luna's eyes grew wide. As she had felt what she had read was true. Did I truly turn into NightMare Moon because of jealousy?! Saw a black aurora form around her younger self.
