Luna woke with a start, sweating and panting. Her eyes snapped open as she sat up. Her breathing slowed and she stepped out of her bed.

"Oh, I simply must stop dreaming about my nightmare miasma. I shan't be any work done if I can't get any sleep before work." Luna said to herself. "But I can't help thinking that the world does not need me. That  I need to catch up."

Luna left her room waving to her guards as she walked out. They smiled and bowed to their Lunar Princess. She made her way through the twisty corridors towards the dining hall and smiled as she saw her sister, Celestia. Celestia looked up and acknowledged her little sisters presence. 

"Greetings, Lulu. Here to eat before you have to work??" Clestia asked as Luna sat at the other end of the table. Luna watched her sister cut two slices of cake and hover a piece of to her using her yellow magic. Celestia looked at Luna and sighed. "Lulu, you've had another nightmare. Come on you can't hide things from me." 

Luna looked at her food and took a bite. "You are correct sister I have had a nightmare but as soon as I go to our old castle, I may understand why I'm having them. You see, I don't know what I did to our old home so it could provide the answers I need. But I may just pay Twilight Sparkle a visit." Luna explained before standing up and walking out of the room. 

Celestia chuckled. She knew Luna better than anyone. She'd finish work then go about her personal business. "Oh Lulu. If only you knew what you had done. My Nightmare Princess." Celestia sighed and walked out of the room. 





Out on the balcony, Luna stood with her magic alight. The moon was up and the stars were beautiful but Luna hadn't finished work for the night. She stepped inside her bed chambers and grabbed a list but a knock at her door caught her attention. "Come in!!" She shouted. Luna hoped that whoever it was wouldn't be long because she wanted to get back to work.

"Oh hello Lulu!!" Came a cheery voice as its owner materialized out of nowhere. "Ohhh, hard at work already I see. Preparing for the big Wonderbolt show next week!" Discord goofily smiled as Luna rolled her eyes.

"Oh please Discord. I hardly have time for your shenanigans. I have responsibilities but I'm sure you know how that feels. Oh wait no you don't!!" Luna yelled sarcastically trying block the fool out. "Now if you don't mind, I have work to do!"

"Oh don't mind me, Lulu, I won't be any trouble." Discord laughed heartily. Luna took a deep breath and turned around. Discord gasped when he saw her eyes glowing green and purple. 

"OUT!!! NOW!!"  Luna's voice boomed and Discord shrank in terror. He snapped his fingers and vanished. Luna sighed happily and got straight back to work.





On the other side of the castle, an alicorn mare was chuckling to herself. "Oh Luna,. You truly are a Nightmare Princess!!" The made announced and flew away before anypony could catch her. She muttered, "But you deserve all the answers...."
