A thousand years later.


Everypony started preparing for the summer sun celebration. Everypony was excited to see princess Celestia raise the sun, so all ponies are doing their best to make the celebration fantastic. What the ponies didn't know that there won't be a "summer sun celebration" this year. Nopony has recalled the legend, the legend of Nightmare Moon's return.

The next day, the ponies were all going to the place to where princess Celestia is going to arrive. As they all waited, the ponies lift up the curtains, and to their surprise, Princess Celestia has gone missing. Instead of a white mare appearing behind the curtains, was another mare of the same hight as Celestia's. This mare had a black coat, a blue starry mane and tail that flows like Celestia's. Nightmare Moon looked at everypony in that area. "Do you ponies know why I'm here, does any of you ponies recall the legend?, didn't you see the signs?" Nightmare Moon asked in a terryfying voice. Everyony was speechless and frightened. "I am here to bring everlasting night, and you would never see your precious sun, and your princess!" Nightmare Moon said, which made ponies a lot more scared. Nightmare Moon laughed, an evil laugh. Nightmare Moon left that area and went to Celestia, everypony hid inside their homes, locking all the door, for they fear Nightmare Moon.

"Sister let me go!" Celestia demanded. Nightmare moon laughed, "you really are funny, aren't you?" Nightmare moon said. Celestia growled "you have to let me go!" Celestia demanded again. "What made you think I'm going to free you just like that" Nightmare Moon said with a chuckle, "I guess you are so unsmart" Nightmare Moon said, yet again with a chuckle. "Now if you will excuse me, I have some unfinished bussiness in ruling Equestria" Nightmare Moon said, then she left. Celestia has time for herself, she can escape while Nightmare Moon was gone. First she tried using her magic that didn't work, she realized that the cage was magic proof, which means her power is useless against the cage. Next she tried kicking the cage, but it ended up with no result at all. Then she found a stick beside her. Celestia gathered up all the power she can get and carried the stick up, with a weak power, she put the stick by the lock and tried opening it, which is hard because every minute she is losing her power. But in about 30 minutes, the padlock unlocked, and Celestia was been able to get out and get all her powers and magic back. The cage which was made in Nightmare Moon's dark magic just disappeared. So Celestia left that place and fly around Equestria until she finds her sister.
