A Game of Daytime, Nighttime

by Zarius9998

Day One

So Luna starts to second guess her original plans to exact revenge on her sister. Originally, she intended to banish her to the sun, make her taste some of her own medicine, but maybe there's a less sever way to get her wish done...

Referencing- This takes place around the same time as "MY little pony INDEED," but follows a different time line. An alternate universe, I guess, but not exactly...enjoy!

------------------

While I have to admit that my sister was trying to make things all better after my return, even dismissing further punishment for my second attempt, it still didn't clear the slate for banishing me to the moon for all those years. I mean, if there's anypony that loves the moon as much as I do, even THEY don't want to spend as much alone time with it as I did. After losing the last battle against her, I thought she'd just take away all of my magic, which I would have accepted graciously, seeing as I had lost, but NOOOO, she sends me to the MOON until I found my own way BACK! After thinking it over for months, I came to the conclusion that it would only be fair if she was banished to her precious sun for at least one thousand years.

I thought she had suspected me of treason again when she sent me to Twilight's Library, but even then I could still continue with my plans. In fact, being with the most studious of ponies I've ever met expedited my plans. Not only were her books great resources, but so was she! She could tell me practically anything I wanted to know about...well, anything I wanted to know! And if she didn't know, we could easily find a book which would help clear the misconceptions. We spent a lot of time together, talking about magic, it's origins, how it's affected by nature, and how it can be used or strengthened. She knew a lot about magic than anypony ever really should. I had a lot of time to experience and experiment on my own while at the moon, yet she seemed to know almost as much as me, all because she had books to help her along. She's only lived a minuscule fraction of what I have, too! She was just...amazing...

I almost felt bad about using her for my own gains...well, no, that's a lie...kinda...I mean, she was such a nice girl! If only she could better appreciate the beauty that I wanted to share with everypony...for even after all those years, barely anything actually cared about the night and the moon. But if I had my way, everypony wouldn't have a choice in the matter. It's just so...sad...every time I tried to ask Twilight about what she thought of my desire to share the night, she would get all nervous and try to find an excuse to change the subject. Of course, even a pony such as her wouldn't understand...nopony does.

So what exactly was the game plan I had to overthrow my sister? I know you have to be curious. I mean, I lost the last two times, and that was with my full power, too! So what am I going to do differently this time? Well...at first, I thought I'd try to poison or diminish her powers, while increasing me own. Tip the scales in my favor...and that's when I remembered the Elements. Twilight and her friends would easily be able to stop me, using those darn Elements of Harmony. Yes, I agree that they're helpful, but they really put a damper on my plans. Worst of all, I realized this only a few days before I was going to actually put my plan into motion! Discord reminded me just how much of a chance I didn't have by being beaten himself...so then I thought to myself, "Why not try to break the mares apart? Keep Twilight to myself, maybe?" but even Discord, the master at breaking relationships, failed to do that, so I was left with nothing for a while...but...

"Uhm, Princess Celestia...I hope you don't mind me asking, but...is Luna around?" I was just about to turn the last corner leading to the main hall of my sister's castle, having just finished a meeting on new constellations, but stopped upon hearing Twilight's voice, obvioisely talking to my sister.

"Uh, Twilight? What brings you here?" my older sister asked in confusion, obvioisely not expecting her student to appear so suddenly.

'She just said why...' I thought blankly before Twi continued.

"For Luna." she answered quietly, "She said she'd be back in a short time, but she's been gone all day and I was just..." she paused for a while, obviously searching hard for the right words to use, "...uhm...worried that she might have gotten into trouble, or something?"

I guessed that, based off of Celestia's slow response, this agitated her, "Oh...she...she was just busy with the meeting, is all...I can go get her, if you want...she should be done."

'Hello...jealous, sister?' I sniggered silently, 'Jealous that I'm stealing your little student?...hold up...holy crap...this is such a win-win!'

Before either my sister or Twilight could make it around the corner, I dashed off to my room, where Celestia would eventually find me after discovering that the meeting had ended a while ago. She knocked first, then entered after I called her in.

"Luna..." she said somewhat coldly, bringing a grin to my face.

"Yes, dear sister?" I responded calmly, staring up at the ceiling as I lay on my back amidst the covers of my bed.

"Twilight...wants you to go back to the Library..." she said, sighing sadly.

"Oh? Go home?" I said, stressing 'home.' This clearly struck "home" in my sister's heart, as I clearly saw her twitch, "Gladly! I can't wait to get back to my little pony..." I cheered gleefully, hopping off my bad and heading past my sister.

"Your...little pony?" my sister asked incredulously, turning and staring at me in shock.

I froze, a smug grin across my face as my back was to her, "Of course! I thought you would have known by now. I mean, she writes to you every week! She told you by now, right?" I turned to face her, putting on a curious stare.

"Told me...about what...?" she asked, fear in her face for the first time since...well, nevermind.

I gasped, pretending to be appalled, "She didn't tell you? Wow...maybe her mind was in just too much bliss to put it on paper..." I said, trailing off and looking away so she wouldn't see my face contorted from trying to suppress my laughter.

"Luna! Stop playing games and tell me what happened!" my sister stomped angrily, shouting in the most demanding tone I've heard from her since my return.

This time...I didn't even attempt to hide my smugness...even if I could, I would have let it show anyway! I slowly turned back to face my angry sister, smiling in a victorious manner, "Oh...from all of the wild nights of passion and, ah-pfft!..." I had to stop talking or else I would've burst out in complete laughter. I wanted to go on and describe our fake "nights of passion," but the look on my sister's face was just too priceless! I...I can't even describe it!...I'll try my best, though...hmm...it was like a mixture of shock, dumbfoundedness, stupidity, and a loss of brain thought all at once...her jaw hit the floor!

"Anyway, sister, she's probably getting all the toys ready by now, better head home." and with a flick of my mane and tail, I left my sister to have a heart attack so i could go seduce little Twilight.

I'm not going to lie when I say that I have been...attracted...yeah, let's going with that...attracted to the purple unicorn for some time. In more ways that one, too! The feelings initially arose when I saw her stand up against me, fighting impossible odds with intense bravery, passion, and intelligence...mostly the passion. Then, after she expelled Nightmare Moon from my body, she replaced it with something else...and I think that "something" is a part of her...but I'm not entirely sure. All that I AM sure of, is that it has been hard, oh so hard, to refrain from pouncing and taking her on the spot when resting in her room after a talk about her magic studies...what? I have wants and needs, too...

Do you think I'm being a bit too unforgiving about this? That my actions are completely unjustified? I will admit that my sister has changed a lot while I was gone...and that the new world she helped form was indeed a fair and prosperous place, but...justice is due. I'd still keep night and day, of course, but I'll just switch the hours: Night in the hours of day, and day in the hours of night! That way, they'll be awake to see my beautiful sky and moon. That's all I want...is to be appreciated for the work that I've done...oh! Damn...got t...um, water on the page...and I'm using pen no less, so I can't erase this stupid mid-journal rambling...why am I still writing this!?...GAH!

Anyway...I hope that whoever's reading this is currently enjoying my beautiful reign over Equestria, for I'm sure that, by the time this is found by a snoopy bookworm, I would have completed my plans...

This maybe a bit short, but it IS only the first entry...
Day one of Plan B
Oh, and before I go, why don't I leave a quick little quip. Gatta have something entertaining at the end of all of these, or else I might just bore myself if I ever decide to review my notes...here ya go, me...and whoever else reads this.

"All's fair in love and war."

Hmm. Interesting plot, and having it written from Luna's POV makes it that bit more enticing. The only downsides are the odd mistake (I'm quite stringent with my grammar) and the length; it's a bit short. However, if the story quality persists, I'd be happy recommending this to others. A good read so far, and I'll be keeping an eye on it.

"Hah, we realize that this is indeed short, and we are severely sorry about that. Though we are glad that you enjoy it! Our goal with this fantastic story was to entertain...and express some of our opinions on our whole situation with being sent to the moon and whatnot...oh, look at us, rambling on about or grievances and such. We are sorry for acting in such a manner of which royalty should not...we...I mean I...am also sorry for forgetting that referring to ones self in a plural tense, even if one IS royalty, isn't really an accepted norm anymore. You MUST forgive my slowness with social meetings...I'm still getting used to my return from the moon..."

Okay, now that the princess is done with apologizing and being awkward...I'm normally a stickler for grammar as well...but I'm also very prone to missing things here and there. While I try to scan y chapters for ANY mistakes, please forgive me for missing some! Glad you enjoy the story, tho!

Aww, darn, and here I was hoping that Celestia WOULD be given some punishment; being sent to the sun would be oh so perfect! Regardless, anything with two of my top five favorite ponies (Twilight and Luna) involved makes me interested, so nice job so far.

"Now we do not recall saying she would not be punished...we mea-I-I mean I!...didn't say she would not be punished...*facehoof*"

Luna, you so awkward. Glad you enjoy the story!
