	Dear Diary,

This is the first entry of Luna's journal. Well I say journal but it is probably going to be a collection of scrolls.

Anyways, in case I ever forget (which is possible; for everyday these memories seem blurrier) I need to write several things about myself.

One, I was not always a pony. Two, this is not my first life. Three, in my first life I was part of a race called humans.

The race of humanity, the most technologically advanced race I have ever seen. Now nothing but a memory. Although this is fact I will put the knowledge my past race found to good use. No point in having two races make the same mistake after all.

Oh don't give me that journal. No one could possibly read this. You see even though both humans and equestrians (the race I have become a part of, a pegasus to be more precise (I have a blue coat and a black mane, my favorite colors!)) use the same symbols for their written language they mean different things. For example the word 'wood' is actually 'qyyx' in equestrian.

Strange right? You wouldn't believe how hard it was to comprehend that 'Qyyx rh v wuhynzhu nhux py bvju fvfuw.' translates to 'Wood is a resource used to make paper.'. Foreign language was never my strong suit, but since this is my 'birth language' I suppose I should make an effort to learn it.

Next topic on my list. This might be a bombshell later on, but the next topic is my family.

There are three members of my family including myself... Well four but the last member isn't a pony. The first I will write about is my Father. Many ponies know him by the title of Commander Hurricane, 'the toughest and most brutal pegasus to ever fly the sky' (not to mention the most thickheaded sometimes). He has so many scars now-a-days that you can no longer see his cutie mark, or what color his fur used to be on his sides. My father believes that a good offense is the best defense, and tries to prove this through sparing matches every week. Although he wins every time I know I shall beat him eventually. The reason I know this? An old quote I used to love reciting: 'Beating the crap out of someone is easy. It's keeping yourself from getting the crap beaten out of that's hard.', or something to that extent. I forget who made that quote, but I learned it while in the military back in my past life.

Anyways I am getting off topic so on to the next and last member of my family besides myself.

The last member of our family is my sister Celestia. Tia's a unicorn and a very powerful one at that. She is the brightest unicorn out of the entire tribe, and I know this for a fact (the only evidence I should need to support this claim is that she has passed three 'impossible' tests, and she's only fifteen!)... Remember how I wrote there were technically four members in our family? The last member of our family is a pheonix... Her name is Philomena and my sister hatched her from a petrified egg... The teachers need to find another test to replace that one. Anyways back on topic my sister solves problems in ways others don't even think about, although I am guilty of solving a problem or two for her... Yeah, apparently the tribes didn't know about friction (I was tempted to tell Celestia 'Welcome to the Girl Scouts' when she made fire with two sticks and a levitation spell). Anyways she is a little taller then me, has a snow white coat, a pink mane, and she weighs next to nothing. I should know I have given her a hawk-eye view on more then one occasion.

Many ponies say I shouldn't play with her or have anything to do with her all because she is a unicorn. Father looks after her but I see the way he glares at her when he thinks no one is watching. It is so stupid how divided the tribes are, and how apparently my sister is an enemy just because she is a unicorn and not a pegasus. We can't even go to the same school because the pegasus school is a cloud, and the unicorn school has a spell on it to prevent anyone who isn't a unicorn from entering. Although that may not be a problem in the future; for my sister is working on a spell that will allow her to walk on clouds. Once she has completed and perfected it I am going to pull some strings to see if I can get her into the pegasus school, at least for a day (although I don't have high hopes for this seeing as this tribe war has been going on for several generations at least).

Despite what everyone says I love my sister, and I'll clobber anyone who hurts her. Take last week for example, Tia and I were playing around in a field with a few other ponies. We were having a great time playing tag when I look over and there was this colt with a white coat and a blue mane who was trying to pick a fight with Tia over something stupid (I believe he dropped his lunch, and he tried to frame her to see if he could get a free one... or maybe something from Celestia these were teenagers after all.) anyways I walked up to him as he towered over her fluffed up my wings to make myself look bigger (since I had to look up at him and I can't let him have all the intimidation factors) and told him to shove off.

The colt (like any 'dominant male') proceeded to become offended and thus uses a levitation spell to throw me.

Into the air...

I don't know what he was thinking, but if I was going up against another pegasus I wouldn't throw them into the air where we have all the advantages, I would have slammed them into the ground. Since the colt didn't have a brain however, I proceeded to teach him a lesson by dive bombing his face. His head was introduced to the ground about a half second later and I went to work turning his face black and blue. Hey I might not win a fight with dad, but against a colt with little if not any combat training I win hands down. Not to mention he didn't see me until I was already acquainting his face with the ground.

After about two minutes a mare came to the colt's rescue, and then scolded me! I tried to explain to her what I saw, but she cut me off! Eventually Tia came to my rescue and told the mare it was all a big misunderstanding. I had to apologize and the mare went home with me so that I told my dad the truth about what happened. All in all I got off pretty dam light considering I gave the colt a black eye and several bruises all over his face.

Anyways Tia is looking over my shoulder now asking what I'm doing, so I think this is a good place to end my first entry.
