Alone
Luna threw open the doors of her sister’s bedroom with a determined expression. “Celestia, we need to talk! I don’t care what your stupid wedding planner says!”
She hurried into the first room, and an angry looking mare suddenly appeared in front of her. “I already told you, the Princess is very busy!”
Luna growled and knocked her out of the way. “This is urgent, now stay out of my way or else!” She roared before heading into her sister’s study. The mare chased after her, and tried her best to keep her from bothering the hard working Princess.
She found her sister there, surrounded by stacks of papers. “Luna? What is it? I’m very busy here!” Celestia said looking up from her work.
“Yes, well. Something’s happened to Discord…” She said rather bluntly.
Celestia’s expression instantly turned into one of anger and annoyance. “What?” She said sharply.
“Well-“
“I told you to leave, now get out of here before I call the-” The mare butted in, trying to drag Luna out.
Celestia cut off the flustered mare, “She’s fine, just leave us for a minute.” She shut her mouth and immediately left with an annoyed look.
“Well, like I was saying… Discord started causing chaos in Ponyville, and me and Twilight had no choice but to stop him! We gathered the elements and her friends, and turned the monster to stone! So don’t worry about it, everything’s under control. Just wanted to let you know. See you lat-” Luna went to dash out of the room but Celestia suddenly appeared in front of her.
“You turned him to stone?! You can’t be serious!”
Luna gave her sister an awkward smile, “Well, we did, but it was because he was evil! He was destroying Ponyville!”
All of Celestia usual princess composure was gone; she was fuming and looked like she was going to explode any second. “Show me…” She managed to mumble through clenched teeth.
------------------------
When Discord had turned to stone, the town had instantly reverted back to its old self. All signs of Discord’s fun chaos had disappeared, just like the last time they imprisoned him.
Twilight was pacing around with not an insane look, but a very worried one. Her sanity was finally returning, but with this came a whole new set of troubles, guilt, doubt, fear… Her crazy self had almost completely vanished, as it had served its one purpose. Stopping Discord.
However, this was now the cause of her current crisis. Celestia was going to do something terrible when she saw what they did to Discord. There would be no easy punishment like last time.
But there was another voice inside her head that suddenly appeared. It reminded her of the other times Celestia had been upset with her; she had always been just and forgiving. Twilight remembered how she always exaggerated these punishments, and in the end they all turned out to be nothing. That’s all this was. Celestia would probably let her off easily.
So Twilight smiled, knowing that things would turn out perfect by the end of this. Things always did.
A bright flash made her jump, and as she turned around she caught sight of the two Princesses. She bowed as her teacher walked over to her.
Celestia’s eyes quickly fell on the stone Discord, whose horrified expression shot shivers down her spine. He really was imprisoned again, and this wasn’t a joke.
“So, Twilight, tell the Princess how Discord was causing all of that horrible chaos, and how we were forced to seal him in stone again!” Luna quickly began.
“I don’t want to hear it!” Celestia roared at her, her voice rising far louder than Twilight had ever heard. “I knew about the chaos Discord was causing! This was just your plan to break us up!”
“N-n-no! No dear sister, I assure you he was evil! This was the only thing we could do, lest he wreck havoc on all of Equestria!”
“Don’t lie to me!” She yelled, causing Luna to step back in fright. Never before had she seen her sister this angry. A bad feeling in the pit of her stomach told her this was going to end badly.
“Because of you stubbornness and your stupidity, Discord’s back in stone, alone! I told you two to stay out of our relationship, and what do you do? Defy me, twice! There is absolutely no reasoning with you two! You were too stubborn to see that we loved each other and that he really had changed!”
“S-s-sister! You should calm down a bit and think about this rationally!”
“Rationally?! You imprisoned my fiancée in stone just because you didn’t approve of my relationship!”
“Well, when you put it that way…” Luna said with a weak smile, hoping to elicit some compassion from her sister.
“I see now that going easy on you two won’t work… Know that your punishments are your own fault.
“P-punishments? What are you going to do, lock me outside the castle?” Luna said with a weak laugh.
“No, you’re going back to the moon.”
Luna looked at her sister with a horrified expression, “You can’t be-” She was rudely cut off as Celestia’s horn glowed and Luna disappeared with a flash.
“…And my student, Twilight… Or should I say ex-student…” Celestia turned her attention to the quivering unicorn. “I was expecting better of you... You served me faithfully for years, but I ordered you to stay out of our relationship. I have no choice but to banish you to the Everfree Forest… Goodbye Twilight.”
Twilight watched as her whole world crumbled around her. The belief that things would turn out fine had died as soon as she had seen the rage in her teacher’s eyes. There was no good ending for her. She watched as her ex-teacher closed her eyes and cast the spell that sent her away from Ponyville. Away from her life. Away from her friends…
--------------------
Twilight was lying alone in the rugged dirt. She could barely see anything around her, as this was the deepest part of the forest. It didn’t help that it was almost night.
I can’t believe this is happening… She thought quietly to herself, as she rolled upwards to stare into the thick covering of tree’s that looked miles away. I should never have gone along with Luna… I should have just let things happen. Just like all my friends suggested…
Friends.
She had no friends now; there was no pony but her in this deep, dark, scary forest. There was no Fluttershy to brighten her day. There was no Rarity to compliment her dress, or a Pinkie Pie to bake her a cake. No Rainbow Dash to brag, or Applejack to support her. No Spike to help her.
She was alone.
Twilight’s lip quivered at the thought, and soon she was bawling her eyes out in the middle of the forest. She would remain here to the day she died, all because she had acted so stupidly. She wanted her friends back; she wanted to be the Princess’s student again. But that would never happen; no, instead she would die alone in this forest…
-----------------------------
“I can’t believe this!” Luna shouted, her voice echoing across the vast, barren wasteland. “Celestia’s banished me again!”
She gazed out into open space, her mind fully comprehending what this meant. She was imprisoned on the moon yet again. She could still remember all those years she had spent here. All those painful, painful years. She couldn’t do this again. No way. She had to get back somehow.
“Come on…” She muttered in frustration as another of her teleportation spells failed. She tried again several times, before finally collapsing on the rocky surface. She was breathing very heavily, as long distance teleportation spells usually used a lot of energy.
“I can’t believe this… Another thousand years on this terrible place… Well, how can I say it’s terrible? This is my moon after all…” Her moon, to remain on alone for a thousand years…
-----------------------------
The unicorn wept for some time, her sobs echoing through the large empty clearing. Her tears pleaded to no one however, as there was no pony to hear them. She gazed into the nearly pitch black forest through tear-filled eyes. “Is this what it’s like to be completely alone?” She asked to herself, her voice weak and raspy from all the crying.
“Why, yes it is, Twilight. This was exactly how I felt.”
Twilight jumped up with incredible speed and looked into he dark forest, “W-who said that?”
“Just me, your conscience."
Confusion spread across the unicorns face as she looked around the area. There was no sign of this familiar voice. “B-but you sound like Discord?!”
“Well, the conscience tends to manifest itself in familiar things. Really, with your knowledge I would have expected you to know that!”
Twilight pictured Discord laughing as he hovered mid air, maybe partaking in a certain dairy drink. “What do you mean by exactly how you felt?”
“Well, how Discord felt I mean. He was alone for a thousand years, unable to talk to anypony.”
“But Discord was evil, he deserved that!” She felt pretty ridiculous arguing with an invisible voice that only she could hear.
“Do you think any creature really deserves this, no matter how evil?”
Twilight took a minute to gaze at the forest around her, and the loneliness that seemed to invade every feeling in her body.
“No, not really…”
“And would you call Discord evil? He wasn’t always ‘evil’ you know. He was turned that way, forced to by the cruel and uncaring world around him. Is a person really evil for being forced to become so?”
The words of this mysterious voice sunk into her head, its strange philosophies challenging everything she had learned in her life. “I… I guess not…”
“Well, this terrible world is what you forced upon Discord, for a third time. He’s alone now, just as he had been for a thousand years. Can you imagine the pain he must be experiencing? He had the taste of a wonderful world, a world where he wasn’t evil. But then you took that away from him far too soon. If anypony’s evil here, it’s you and Luna.”
The voice was right. It was entirely and completely right. “This was how Discord felt, for a thousand years…” For the first time ever she began to feel some sort of pity for the Draconequus. He had changed, she now began to realize. “He’s lived an awful, painful life… Being alone for so long… Being branded evil because no pony understands him… Then, when he finally gets some ounce of deserved happiness, I take it all away from him… I am evil…”
“Yes… Now you finally understand… Well, my job is done here, goodbye!”
“Wait, don’t go!” Twilight shouted into the forest. There was no response. She was alone again.

That is all please keep up the awesome work.
Exelente historia, esperando con ansia la continuacion XD

That should be the new cover image.
oh jeez, don't let this be the end
Oh wait it's still incomplete ...
Well Celestia never said HOW long she was banishing them (maybe life sentence?) also I'm beginning to think that the elements of harmony are trolls.
Fucking deserved it, both of them for destroying two innocent lives. Luna is exiled to the moon once again and Twilight is banished to the Everfree Forest. Part of me thinks this Discord teaching Luna and Twilight a lesson about not judging others and forgiveness. I imagine Discord will become free again and give Twilight and Luna a second chance. I really don't want this to be the end for The God of Chaos.
But hey, at least Discord will have at least two at his mourning- Celestia his fiance and Pinkie his only friend.
Please don't let it end this way. I need a happy ending please.
I'm with Waffler. In fact, I bet Discord isn't really even trapped... Because in my mind that wouldn't make sense considering the fact that the elements let him go in the first place. It could be a Discord/Trollestia moment. Still, who knows how the elements work...
Twilight, get to Zecorra. She's still in the Forrest. It is allowed.
Luna... Resume the rocket, I guess.. I'm sure you have old escape devices scattered about.
I have to say something about this wonderful story.
I was thinking of Celestia sounding like a tyrant. I would think of her hesitating, for the least. But still, loved the story and want to read more.

Carry On!
I bet it turns out that Discord just played along and only pretended to get stoned.

MOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!

BEY-YETCH!
well i'm tracking this masterpiece.
Well, at least she didn't banish her and then throw her in a dungeon in the place that she banished her to.
But, I'm not going to buy it if you try to make Discord the victim. Really, his "sympathetic" backstory only gets him so far and has nothing to do with Twilight. Her trial by fire was entirely justified.
O.O
The first story was much better. I just don't know about this one. It seems, well... the characterisation isn't exactly good, and they seem to make really weird choices. The chapters often seem quite rushed and Celestia doesn't seem like how she would be in the show. Also, she needed the Elements to banish her sister to the moon; she's not that strong.
The quality of the story seems to have suffered in order to supply the comedy, and this new shift to an atmosphere that tries to elicit sympathy and sadness is, to me, a bit out of place when I look back at the rest of the story. It's trying to shoehorn in drama and emotion when there was previously only really comedy.
Way to dig your own graves honestly patience has its limits in all of us.
Everypony has a limit.
Twilight and Luna just found Celestia's.
Mooned with NO HESITATION
I actually might be able to see where this is going. But still a fun chapter, if a little depressing.
161236 1. if you lost the thing you cared the most about in the world would you not be angry? 2. about Twilight and luna she probably just teleported luna to the moon and used a spell so she can't teleport back. same with twilight exept to everfree insted.
TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON BEE YEEEEEEEEEEETCH
I have a question: what happened with the rest of the mane6? were they unconscious? Or they watched Twilight been banished?
Also, Celestia went to anger really fast, I expected her to shed some tears for Discord and then turn that sadness into anger, but maybe she was just putting a stong facade, and next chapter we'll going to see the tears.
and stay there.
I'm thinking that the voice Twilight heard was actually Discord.
SUCK IT BITCHES!
.........................................you know i totally saw something like this coming i mean they imprisone him they get banished and there councenss the good part kicks in and makes them feel really really stupid and evil
awsomeness is all i have to say
160676 i'm sure it'd fit some story o.O though it does seem to fit the banishment scene hehehe
Poor Luna.Stuck on the moon again.
Concious? Don't you mean conscience?
Other than that, great work! 
Twilight: "I'm so alone in this forest!"
Completely disregard Zecora.
161851 agreed
HA SUCK IT LUNA AND TWILIGHT! >:D
ok that was satisfying

......BUCKING HELL!!!!
1. Twilight, you for got about your Zebra friend...
Though why that is, I cannot comprehend...
2. OMG, Discord, are you really gonna go that far for a prank?
Now that, my friend, is commitment. 
um male is fiance and female is fiancée
What‽‽‽ LUNA BACK ON THE MOON‽‽‽ How could you do that... Luna is (to me) best pony, after all. No matter what anyone else says, I say she is BEST. But anyway, this story is pretty good. Besides that you make Luna look like more of a stuck up 'little princess' rather than how empathetic she would have been. She would have probably had more empathy for Discord (IMO), mostly because they both have been through the same kind of thing(banishment/imprisonment)...
161325
Yep, and considering she had been shown to be level headed throughout the whole show, when she snaps, she snaps. How did Luna get sent to the moon though? Celestia needed the Elements for that...
Ans now she's going to live up to those crazy expectations, isn't she?
