Luna's Diary

by Nightmare Luna


Chapter 3

"Uh, Twi? Why did you steal Nightmare Moon's Diary?" Apple Jack questioned, turning her head to the unicorn who was staring at the name on the back cover. Twilight couldn't speak. She was shaking in her horseshoes.
"Twilight?" Fluttershy spoke, turning to her with a confused look on her face.
"I didn't take it! I swear!" The unicorn finally spoke, yelling. She backed away from the diary slowly. "I don't even know how it got in there in the first place." She started to pace back and forth. Twilight bit her lip trying to think.
"Well, can't you just send the diary back?" Fluttershy spoke softly, turning her head from the book and back to Twilight, who was still pacing nervously. "Just tell her that it was a mistake. Night- I mean, Princess Luna will understand." Twilight stopped for a moment, and shot a frightened look at her shy Pegasus friend.
"Understand! Do you remember Nightmare Night?" She shot back at her. "She may do something even worse than try and cancel it!" She started to think about what the Princess of the night would do if she found out the diary was in Twilight's possession. Her eyes shrunk in fear, and she bit her lip even harder.
"Look, Twilight. We can fix this." Apple Jack spoke up calmly, but also a little nervous as well. "We can just get back on the train, go to Canterlot, then give it to her and tell her that you grabbed the wrong book."
"That's not it! Princess Celestia gave me the right book in the library!" After a second, Twilight gasped. "That's it! When we got into a commotion with two servant ponies and Luna, the books fell to the floor. The two books look the same. I must have grabbed the wrong one!" She shook again.
"Well that explains it. Why can't you just write to the princess and explain it to her?" Fluttershy asked, flying over to Twilight. "I'm sure if you tell Luna what happened, she won't get angry."
"I can't cause Spike's ability to send a letter will only allow him to send messages to Princess Celestia and no one else." Fluttershy hung her head.
"Well, Twilight lets go to Canterlot and give the diary back." Apple Jack suggested.
"Train takes to long, plus there are no trains going to Canterlot til next week." Twilight explained. "We'll have to wait."
Fluttershy looked up and saw the clock.
"Oh goodness! I have to feed my animals! Angel will be so angry if I don't get him his food soon." She quickly shot out the door of the tree, leaving the door open.
"I need to go too. Have some chores on the farm to take care of." Apple Jack spoke up, heading to the door. She stopped and looked on the nervous unicorn. "Don't worry sugarcube. Just don't read it!"
