Andrew a guy like any other walked down a sidewalk in his home town, Christmas was in a few days although Andrew didn't celebrate it, he never liked the holiday, it was just parents getting their spoiled kids a bunch of presents, and a lying to them about there being a fat man that crawls down the chimney to give them even more presents, it was just a bunch of crap to get gifts and say it's for showing your love, just tell the person you love them and stop wasting time and money.  

He grumbled looking at people buying presents across the street "wasting their time" he huffed and crossed the street not paying attention he was focused on watching people waste time.

He failed to notice the red light for walking, he also failed to notice the big truck driving at him, the truck honked getting James attention as it tried to slow down.

Andrew turned his head to the truck "what the hell?!" He stumbled back as the truck drove at him, it was inches from him when he just narrowly avoided it.

He sighed in relief "oh my god...haha...sorry but I'm not dying today...heh maybe there is such thing as Christmas miracles" he chucked and stood up, he was feeling a new respect for the holiday.

A car slammed into him as he stood up, he rolled over the car as it hit him and fell to the ground behind the car, his arms and legs were bent in sickening positions, the driver ran put of his car and over to Andrew "oh my god sir j-just hang on helps on the way" the man said while crouching by Andrew.

"ngh...ngh" Andrew attempted to speak.

"W-what sir?" The driver asked crouching lower.

"..f...fuck...Christmas..." Andrew said before dying to his injuries.


{~~~~~~~~~~{The Old Castle Of The Sisters}~~~~~~~~~~}


A stallion unicorn walked down the halls of the old castle, his fur was a dark Green and his mane and tail were dark grey, his eyes were cold and focused as he walked, he wore a black hooded cloak, his hood was down, he walked into a large room where a very infamous mare was defeated.

He looked around at the other cloaked ponys around the room "my dear friends...it is time the rightful ruler of equestria returns and takes her place in the throne, she was unfortunately defeated before her rule could come to fruition, but now she will have another chance and this time she will be unstoppable".

"No pony will be able to stop her from taking back equestria, the princess, the elements of harmony, none of them will stand a chance, Nightmare Moon will rule!!" He laughed manically.

"Jinx it why don't ya" a unicorn mare with a black mane and purple fur said as she walked into the room, she wore the same hooded cloak as everypony else in the room.

The stallion growled being mocked by the mare  "hrr I was wondering when you'd show up Violet Night...".

"Hm yes well I was a little busy with getting what you wanted Emerald" she said walked over pulling a large jar of black liquid out of her bag with her magic.

Emerald visibly got excited as a smile grew on his face it was a very disturbing smile "hey anypony ever tell you your smile can make a baby cry?" Violet said as she flouted the jar over to Emerald.

"Hehehehe I'm going to let that one slide since I'm in a much better mood" he chuckled and took the jar with his magic, he looked at the liquid intently with that same disturbing smile on his face.

"...kiss it why don't you" she said under her breath and looked away.

"Hm that one I won't" he shot a green magic blast form his horn that hit Violet and sent her smashing into a wall.

"Ngh..." She winced and got back up, her horn was glowing purple now "I'm not letting you get away with that!" She fired her own magic blast, a stream of violet flames erupted from her horn at Emerald.

Emerald blocked it with the jar and the magic absorbed into the jar, it caused Violet's legs to wobble and collapse as he magic was sucked dry from her "hahaha you were saying?".

"W-what the hell?..." She said confused as she could barely light her horn up.

"This jar holds a very special magic in it, it can absorb all types of magic and it increases its own, haha truly amazing". Emerald said looking at the unscratched jar.

"Although it was lost a long time ago until now, thank you for bringing it in and giving it it's first meal, don't worry your magic will replenish later, for right now enjoy being powerless" he smiled and levitated the jar in the middle of the room.

The other ponys surrounded the jar and lit their horns, they all then started chanting a unknown language, streams of their magic came out of their horns and into the jar.

The jar started radiating different colors, the light kept getting brighter with the more magic it absorbed.

Emerald levitated a black magical orb in the air and slowly moved it closer to the jar "soon my queen you'll have enough power to come back and take your revenge, all you need is another soul to live off of" he smiled and cast another spell, he searched for a weak soul to use, he found one it had even just recently died even better for what he wanted to do, he pulled it into the living realm, it was a small white orb way smaller then the black one.

He put the orbs together and moved them to the jar, the black liquid absorbed both orbs causing it to glow black then white, Emerald then put his own magic into the jar to feed it "yes yes feed feed and bring back our queen!" He shouted smiling.

The jar started cracking as it started glowing brightly, the jar then exploded into a bright light blinding everyone in the room.

"Gah!!" Emerald stumbled back from the light blinding him.

"Oh good job genius!" Violet yelled covering her eyes.

All the ponys rubbed their eyes trying to see, Emerald was the first to regain his sight, everything was blurry but he could see, he saw glass on the ground and a black burnt spot on the floor it had smoke coming off it "no...no no no no No!!" He yelled and slammed his hooves down "we failed!!" He yelled with anger.

"Wonderful so you blinded and stole our magic for nothing, I really do wonder how you became our cult leader..." Violet growled getting her vision back.

"SHUT UP!!!" He tried to fire a blast at her but his horn sputtered out a few sparks.

"Hehe remember you fed that jar your magic" Violet chuckled and stood up "I'm gonna go now don't call me back unless you actually are able to bring our queen back" she walked away.

"Dam it..." He clenched his teeth "everypony go...we failed" he walked away growling, he was fallowed by the rest of the cloaked ponys.

None of the ponys noticed the small black figure asleep behind a stone pillar.

{~~~~~~~~~~{}~~~~~~~~~~}

Andrew groaned feeling horrible, though he expected that after getting hit by a car, he actually thought he'd die but thankfully he didn't, he noticed his entire body felt off, everything felt fuzzy and his muscles felt off.

He really hoped he didn't look to bad, he struggled to open his eyes but when he did he was shocked to see a old stone wall, not normal for a hospital to have, he also noticed white hair getting in his eyes.

"Wha-" his voice died instantly when it came out, it sound like a little girls voice, maybe there was a little girl here, he cleared his throat "hello?" He shut his mouth hearing that little girls voice come from his mouth.

He quickly sat up sending a bunch of white fall into his eyes, he jumped back trying to get away form the thing blocking his vision, he fell backwards and soon realized the white was just long hair, he definitely knew he didn't have this long of hair or it being white.

He looked at his body hoping not to see what he expected, he definitely didn't see what he expected but saw something much worse, his body was covered in dark black fur and he had hooves, he was some a horse, he noticed the long white tail, had small black feathered wings on his back.

He started hyperventilating as tears formed in his eyes, for some reason he couldn't control himself when he started sobbing uncontrollably.

{~~~~~~~~~~{}~~~~~~~~~~}

Twilight and spike were walking down a path in the Everfree Forest towards to the old castle, Twilight had picked up a large amount of magic forming in the castle a while ago and needed to investigate it.

"Um Twilight are you sure we should be doing this alone?..why don't we go get the others?" Spike said scared as he looked around.

"Well Fluttershy is taking care of her sick bear friend, Dash is with the wonderbolts, Applejack is taking care of the farm, Pinkie is with the cakes, and rarity is working on a big order, no one had free time so it's just me and you going" Twilight answered as she got to the castle and looked inside, it definitely had been walked in recently, there were hoof prints in the dust on the floor and the torches on the walls were recently lit, she then heard a filly crying from inside, she quickly galloped into the castle looking for the crying filly while spike held onto her tightly, which failed and he fell off her.

Twilight fallowed the cry through the castle till she got a large room she recognized greatly, the room where she and her friends defeated Nightmare Moon, those thoughts were interrupted by the cry coming from behind a stone table.

"Hello are you hurt?" Twilight asked as she walked slowly to the table, she heard the crying turn into sniffling.

"N-no...y-yes?...maybe?" A young filly said through sniffles, Twilight noted she sounded confused and scared.

"Don't worry I'm here to help" twilight said as she put on a smile to try and comfort the filly when she got to her, she walked around the table and her smile vanished as her heart nearly stopped beating.

She froze starring at the filly, she looked almost exactly like a filly Nightmare Moon, except for the white mane and tail everything else looked just like her.

She knew she couldn't let this filly Nightmare Moon escape she had to destroy her before she could hurt anypony, Twilight lit her horn and shot a magic blast at the filly.

But the filly was fast and was able to get out of the way in time, the filly stumbled away and eventually fell to the ground, twilight fallowed the filly as she charged another blast.

But when she was about to fire again at the filly Nightmare Moon, she stopped seeing the pure fear in the fillies eyes, she futilely tried to crawl away from twilight 'why is she scared? Why isn't she fighting back? This isn't like nightmare moon' twilight thought as her horns glow died down.

The filly calmed slightly 'or maybe this is a trick? She might not be strong in this form and is trying to act innocent' twilight lit her horn now filled with rage as she was about to fire a magical blast right at the filly.

The filly screamed in terror as she put her legs over her head, twilight knew this was genuine fear, fear of her.

Twilights horn stopped glowing as she looked at the trembling filly her eyes were tightly held shut but tears leaked out and streamed down her face, Twilight knew Nightmare Moon would never let herself look this low, she reached a hoof out towards the filly.

The moment it just barley touched the filly, the filly let out a loud terrified scream and reacted like the hoof was fire and scurried away from her, she noticed the filly stumble and fall as she ran under a table, she felt sadness fill her seeing the filly that scared of her.

"I...I'm not going to hurt you..." Twilight walked over to the table slowly and crouched down to look under it, what she saw broke her heart, the filly was tightly pressed up against the wall trying desperately to get as far away from her as possible "I won't hurt you" she put on a smile to try and comfort the filly.

The filly just sniffled and shook looking absolutely scared, Twilight noticed the filly was holding her right leg and saw it was bleeding slightly, it was badly burned the fur on that side completely burnt off, Twilight remembered the first blast she shot, she thought it missed the filly completely but now saw it did actually hit her.

It then struck twilight that the filly wouldn't believe her at all, she already hurt her so why should she believe her now "I-I'm sorry...I...I thought you were somepony else...p-please I promise I won't attack you again...".

The filly continued to shake, her eyes wide with fear, she had no intention of going out to twilight and risk getting hurt.

It then hut twilight that the filly was scared seeing her so if the filly didn't see her maybe she'd come out?

"Um...here...ill turn around and you can come out ok?" Twilight said and turned around hoping this would work.


{~~~~~~~~~~{}~~~~~~~~~~}

Andrew froze seeing the purple horse standing in front of him, she was just as frozen as he was, He was shocked hearing her talk, horses don't talk but he was also a horse and he could talk, also this horse looked cartoonish but real, like a super realistic 3D cartoon drawing, she was also a unicorn with wings and she was giant compared to him.

Andrew was about to speak when the mare shot a magic blast at him, he was able to dodge it just barely he felt his right leg burn and saw it was hit, he tried to run but only resulted in stumbling around pathetically really.

He ended up falling over onto the ground he glanced back to see how far he was able to get from the psycho laser shooting horse, he had actually only gotten a foot away from the the table and she was already standing by him glaring down at him with a glowing horn.

Andrew's breath caught in his throat as fear filled his much smaller body, he tried crawling away the best he could as tears filled his eyes, he didn't want to die.

But then the purple horses horn started dimming, was she not going to kill him? He calmed down seeing her horn starting to turn off, but that calmness ended when it light back up and the glare was returned, the horn was sparking he didn't want to die like this here, he screamed covering his head hoping somehow to survive this.

This was way to much for this younger body tears leaked from his tightly held shut eyes, as he was trembling on the ground he felt something touch his back terrifying him, he screamed once more and ran under a near by table for safety, he pressed himself against the wall trying to get as far form the psycho horse he could.

"I...I'm not going to hurt you..." He heard her hooves clop against the ground as she got closer, she then crouched down to look at him "I won't hurt you" she smiled.

He didn't believe this thing at all, she did hurt him and attempted to kill him three times.

"I-I'm sorry...I..I thought you were somepony else...p-please I promise I won't attack you again..." She said still trying to get him to come out but he wasn't gonna budge.

"Um...here...I'll turn around and you can come out ok?" She then turned around so her back was facing him now.

Seeing his chance Andrew ran out form under the table the best he could towards the exit, it didn't help with his injured leg that felt like it was currently on fire.

He ran though for dear life and ran straight into a large purple and green lizard standing on its hind legs, they slammed together making Andrew fall onto his back, he quickly got back up ignoring the beating pain in his head.

"Spike don't let her escape!" The purple unicorn yelled at the what Andrew could only guess was the purple and green lizard.

"Wha?" Spike the purple and green lizard said sitting up rubbing his head.

Andrew didn't waste time and ran straight past the lizard and down the hall, he was now panting his new tiny lungs on fire not used to running.

He looked around frantic for anyway of escaping this building of hell, he heard the horse and lizard running after him, he tried running faster to get away.

He ran down halls searching for anyway to escape but found none, the pony and lizard were right behind him, he eventually found a large hall with a door leading outside at the end of it, hope filling Andrew's body he used all the stamina he had in him to run to the door.

The pony was only a few inches behind him trying to catch him, he was only a few feet away he could practically feel the wind.

He then tripped on a small rock and went face first into the floor knocking him out cold.

{~~~~~~~~~~{}~~~~~~~~~~}

Twilight tried the best she could to keep up with the small filly, she could run fast for her age, she chased the filly all over the castle, but soon saw where the filly was heading next, she was trying to leave the castle.

They were both only a foot away from the door when the filly tripped on a rock and face planted into the ground knocking herself out, she quickly got over to the filly checking to see if she was alright, besides a bleeding nose, she was ok luckily.

Twilight picked the filly up with her magic and placed her on her back, she then looked back at spike.

Spike was panting as he finished catching up to twilight "she's...very...fast" he siad between pants.

"Yeah I know but she knocked herself out which might be for the better since we can now get her back to the castle" twilight said and left the old castle fallowed by spike.

Twilight kept looking back at the sleeping filly to make sure she was ok as they walked, she felt horrible making the filly so afraid of her, she had so many questions running through her mind.

Why did this filly look like Nightmare Moon? Who is she really? And where did she come from? 

Twilight sighed knowing she'd have to wait till the filly woke up to ask these questions and had to hope the filly knew the answers.

"Hey she looks kinda like Nightmare moon" spike said looking closely at the sleeping filly.

"Yeah I noticed that too spike" Twilight replied "but she's definitely not her, I don't know who she is, but now she's scared out of her mind of me because I attacked her thinking she was Nightmare Moon, and I feel horrible for doing it" she sighed.

Spike looked at twilight "how were you supposed to know?" He said trying to make her feel better.

"I could have asked but no I had to try and kill her the moment I saw her" Twilight hung her head in shame, Spike frowned.

They both remained silent as they walked back to Twilights castle, once they were there Twilight put the small filly in her bed and cleaned her nose, she then bandaged the filly leg, she staid in the room watching the filly just in case.
> Nightmares And Memory
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew looked around the black void he'd been just flouting in, this place was dark and cold, he could barely see his hands in front of his face with how dark it was.

Suddenly black tentacles made of smoke shot out of the darkness and wrapped around his arms and legs "what the hel-" Andrew was cut off by another mist tentacle wrapping around his neck choking him.

"You little pest...I will not remain trapped here while you have control...this body will be mine!" A woman's voice yelled as turquoise eyes appeared in the darkness in front of Andrew.

"Ngh" he struggled to breath as the tentacle got tighter, the voice laughed maniacally while it watched, it seemed to start gaining a body, it looked like a horse but those eyes didn't belong to any normal horse.

"P-please" Andrew begged as everything was getting blurry and his head felt like it was going to pop.

"Hehe oh no...I will give you no mercy I want you to suffer just so you know never to try to take something from me" the voice said as she was gaining more and more of a body.

Andrew's mind was getting foggy, he figured it was probably from lack of oxygen and his brain cells dying.

He thought he was going to die as he started seeing stars fill his vision until the entire void shattered and was replaced with a field.

"W-what?.." He coughed and looked around.

"I've never seen such a powerful nightmare" a new woman's voice said, he turned around and saw a dark blue horse with a star filled flowing main and tail, she looked like what the thing was trying to turn into just a few minutes ago.

"What the hell??" He said stumbling back away from her.

The horse looked surprised seeing him too as she looked at him "what creature are you?..." She said looking at him.

"A human what the hell are you?!" He yelled.

"Human?" She said confused, her eyes then widened "no wait I need more ans-" she was cut off as he jumped up awake and clanked his head against something purple right in front of him.

"Ngh" he groaned rubbing his head in pain and falling back on the pillow holding his head.

"Ow..." A very familiar voice said.

He opened his eyes and looked at her seeing it was the crazy purple horse again "n-no no no" he whimpered hearing the little girls voice come out of his mouth once more, he tried to run but was caught by the purple horse "let me go!!! Help!!! Someone please help!!!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.

"No no no sh sh sh it's ok I'm not going to hurt you please clam down" the purple horse said as she tried to calm him down.

"No no get away from me!!" He yelled swinging his legs at her trying to punch her.

The purple horse pulled him into a hug and held him there, he tried to break free but she was a lot stronger then him, after a few minutes of struggling he finally gave up from exhaustion.

"Ok...now listen I'm very very very sorry about attacking you...I thought you were someone a lot scarier and way more dangerous, but I now see your just a small scared filly and I'm gonna help you ok?" She said with a soft voice.

"I-I'm not a filly...I'm a man!!" He yelled.

"...um...ok...." She said completely confused about what he just said "why were you in the castle?".

"I don't know" he answered.

"Do you know why you look like this?" She asked.

"I don't know" he said starting to get annoyed

"Do you know what your is name?" She asked.

"Yes" he huffed at the stupid question.

"Can you tell me it?" She asked finally getting somewhere.

"Why should I? I don't even know yours" he said frowning.

"Good point, my names Twilight Sparkle, now that you know my name can you tell me yours?" She asked.

He doubted that could really be a real name but he was talking to a purple horse with a horn and wings.

"My names...um...it's...it's uh...I don't know..." He said shocked he couldn't remember his own name, how could he forget something like that?

"You...don't know your name?" She asked confused.

"W-why don't I know my name?? Why don't I know my name?! what's my name?! What's my name?!" He said freaking out as tears were forming in his eyes.

"It's ok it's ok we can figure this out" she tied to calm him but it was to late as he started sobbing.

"Why don't I know my name?...Why? Why? Why? Why?" He sobbed.

She pulled him into the hug more and gently pet his head trying to calm him "it'll be ok..." She continued petting him, he sobbed into her chest for a while till he ran out of tears.

"Better?.." She asked

He sniffled and nodded not removing his head from her chest, her fur was warm and comforting.

"C'mon let's get you some breakfast huh?" She smiled softly at him.

"O-ok" he sniffled.

She picked him up and set him in her back and left the room to go to the kitchen.


{~~~~~~~~~~{}~~~~~~~~~~}


Twilight felt terrible for the little filly, she was so scared and confused so fragile too, she didn't even know her own name, but she was luckily able to comfort the filly.

Twilight hopes she could help this little filly, and right now she could help by getting her some breakfast.

Twilight walked into the kitchen, spike was already in there eating his breakfast "morning twili-" spike stopped when he looked at who was resting on Twilights back.

"It's ok spike she's not gonna hurt anypony" twilight said as she sat the filly down in a chair and then began making the filly breakfast.

"Ok if you say so..." Spike said watching the filly closely.

The filly glared back at spike making him jump back and fall off his chair, the filly then chuckled chuckled lightly.

"Hrr" spike growled as he climbed back on his chair and glared at the filly "I don't like you..." Spike whispered at her.

"Right back at you" the filly whispered back.

Twilight walked back with some cereal and set it in front of the filly, the filly looked looked at it and the spoon.

"How do I use this?" The filly looked up at twilight with a questioning look.

"Hm? Um you just grab it?" Twilight explained while grabbing the spoon with her hoof, the filly looked amazed by the action.

The filly then went to pick the spoon up, this resulted in just pushing the spoon around in the bowl, he was getting very annoyed with it, his horn was getting warmer as he kept pushing the spoon around increasing his frustration.

"Um...I can help if y-" twilight was cut off by the filly yelling at her.

"NO! I can do it myself!" The filly yelled and continued to push the spoon around, his horn then sparked and sent the bowl flying across the room and smashing against the wall "...I...I didn't mean to..." He said sheepishly.

"Uh...it's ok..." Twilight said as she walked over to the mess and started cleaning.

Spike was snickering while covering his mouth, this made the filly glare at him "nice job ".

"I didn't mean to..." The filly said angrily.

"Hehe yeah tell that to the bowl" spike said and snickered again.

"Hrr" the filly growled as his horn started getting warm again as he glared at the purple lizard.

The filly was distracted when twilight set another bowl with cereal in front of him "how about I feed you this time?".

The filly grumbled but agreed, twilight smiled and picked the spoon up and started moving it towards the fillies mouth, only he didn't open his mouth, it was to weird and felt way to childish.

"C'mon open up...you need to eat" twilight said as she kept tapping the spoon against his mouth.

"No this is too demean-" he was cut off by twilight shoving the spoon in his mouth.

"Blah!" He coughed and spit the spoon out "fine I'll eat, you psycho!" He yelled.

"Good" twilight smiled and moved the spoon back over to him, he opened his mouth this time.

As he was chewing the cereal he thought about something "...can cows talk?...".

"Hm? Of course they can why?" Twilight asked raising a brow.

"...." He looked at the bowl full of milk and stopped chewing the cereal, so if cows can talk would this make it a persons milk he's eating? After thinking about it his cheeks puffed out and he puked into the bowl.

"Woah!" Twilight jumped back and levitated the filly away from the table "ok...um why?".

"That's...a persons milk!...I...what is wrong with you people?!" He yelled while flailing around in the magical hold.

Twilight sighed "um...ok how about a bath? I think you could use one". 

"Wow thanks I feel so good now..." He grumbled and crossed his arms or front legs.

Twilight sighed and walked to the bathroom she then turned the water on and waited for it to get to the right temperature, once it was she set the filly down in the bath and was getting ready to wash her.

"What are you doing?" He asked twilight looking at her levitating a bottle of shampoo.

"Um...I was gonna wash y-" twilight said before being cut off.

"I can wash myself! I don't need some creep washing me!" He yelled smacking the bottle to the floor, twilight sighed and left the room.

He then leaned over the edge of the bath and reached for the shampoo he smacked to the floor, he struggled due to his short stubby legs "curse you short legs!" He grumbled.

He leaned more and more over the tub until her slipped and fell out, he blew his wet hair out of his face and got up, he picked the bottle up with his mouth and crawled back in the tub.

He now wondered how he'd put the soap in his hair, he still couldn't figure out how to hold things with these stupid hooves, eventually he came to the idea of just squeezing the bottle.

He squeezed the bottle making the shampoo shoot out into his face and eyes, the shampoo stung and he flailed around trying to get the soap out of his eyes, in his flailing he accidentally turned the water back on, the shampoo bottle still in the water now making bubbles.

Twilight stood outside the bathroom waiting, she then felt water touch her hooves and looked down to find water leaking out from under the bathroom door, twilight quickly threw the door open to see the bath over flowing with water and bubbles, twilight also could see the small fillies head poking out of the bubbles.

"Um...ehehe it was an accident" he chuckled nervously.

"Yeah...your not able to give yourself a bath" twilight sighed and walked over to the bath, she then grabbed the shampoo and put it in the fillies mane with some difficulty.

He grumbled as twilight scrubbed the shampoo through his now much longer hair, she then scrubbed his body and scrubbed a spot under his arms that made him burst out giggling, he clamped his mouth shut and covered it with his hooves and a red blush filled his cheeks.

"Oh? Is someone ticklish?" Twilight asked with a mischievous grin.

"N-no I'm not!" He quickly replied.

"Oh really?" Twilight said whir a smirk and started tickling the small filly.

"No!!" He yelled in futile attempt as the bathroom was then filled with adorable giggling and laughter.

Once twilight finished washing the filly she wrapped her in a towel and dried her off, when she removed the towel the filly was now a fluff ball, twilight chuckled looking at her "your adorable".

His face turned bright red "I am not!" He tried to sound tough but it came out sounding like an angry child.

"C'mon I want to show you around the castle, since you'll be staying here for a while" twilight said as she left the bathroom, the small filly followed while grumbling.

Twilight then walked around the entire castle showing the small filly all the rooms in the castle.

"Good god...please tell me it's over..." The small filly said while dragging himself across the ground.

Twilight looked down at the filly "oh sorry I guess I was walking a bit fast" Twilight ch used embarrassed.

The filly was panting "can you just please listen to what I have to say".

"Um yes sure, here let's go to the library" Twilight said while levitating the filly behind her as she walked into the library, she then set her in a chair and sat in another one herself.

"Alright so look, I was walking through my town when a car..." The filly saw Twilights expression "um a large metal transportation device that has large wheels a goes really really fast hit me, I then woke up in that old building and freaked out because I had this body, I didn't have a pony body before, I was human, imagine a naked monkey with no tail and hair only on their head and walks on two legs" he huffed and looked at her.

"So you were changed into a filly after a car hit you?" Twilight repeated "that's quite a story".

The fillies eye twitched "ITS NOT A STORY!!!!!" the fillies voice boomed shaking the room.

"Woah ok...so you have that too..." Twilight said sitting back up since she was knocked back.

"What that's just a thing I can do?...hm..." A devil like smile formed on his mouth as he came up with devious plans.

"Ok so what you told me isn't a story, but it sounds really...strange, I've never heard of a car or bipedal naked monkeys before" Twilight said.

"Ugh I don't know, all I know is after I got hit I saw a bright light, but then I was pulled away from it and sent into some colorful vortex where I then was put in a abyss, I saw some creepy blue figure that I was forced to press up against then I felt electricity and I woke up in that castle like this" the filly explained and gesturing to himself.

"Wait like a rainbow vortex?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah why?" He raised a brow.

"Well I've read some books about magical portals, and that sounds like a inter-dimensional vortex, it's a very dangerous type of magic that can lead to disastrous effects" Twilight explained.

"Like?..." The filly asked getting nervous.

"Well if it's not closed correctly it could rip holes in other dimensions and pull anything through, imagine it like a bag of sand, if you rip a hole in it the sand will start leaking out, if you seal it then the sand stays in the bag, but if you do it incorrectly then the sand will still leak out, in the dimension case other dimensions could start leaking into each other and result in them completely destroying each other entirely" Twilight explained, the fillies eyes were wide and scared looking after hearing that.

"O-oh...t-that's n-nice...." He said while shaking, he really really hoped there weren't any of those things around.

Twilight noticed this and reacted quickly "Oh um no need to worry though I'll just use a spell to make sure there aren't any rips in the dimension" Twilight quickly said to try and ease the fillies fear.

Twilight then thought about it for a few minutes, she couldn't just keep calling the filly "the filly", she needed a name "hey how about we give you a name".

"A name?...ok...I guess.." He knew he had a name but he couldn't remember it, so he might as well get a new one.

"Hmmm how about" Twilight looked at the filly and got a name "Eclipse?".

"Eclipse?..ok...yeah that works..." Eclipse thought the new name over and it was good, it fit her new look.

"Great" Twilight smiled "now...lets get you a disguise so you can walk around town with me, you really shouldn't be cooped up all day in here.

"A disguise?...it better not be like glasses" Eclipse noticed twilights eyes widen for a second before she nervously laughed.

"What? No..." Twilight chuckled nervously.

"Wait you actually were just gonna put glasses on me??" Eclipse asked stunned.

"Well I was also gonna maybe put you in a different outfit but I'll think of something else" Twilight stood up and looked through some books before finding a spell "ok this should work".

Twilight casted the spell and a small metal ring appeared, she then walked over to Eclipse "this will go on your horn, but um I'll admit it may feel...uncomfortable at first".

"I can handle it..." Eclipse said, how bad could it be?

Twilight then put it on Eclipse's horn, Eclipse jumped and shivered, he wasn't expecting it to be so sensitive.

"Ok...I get the warning...nghh" Eclipse shivered as the magic took affect, Eclipse's fur turned a dark blue and his eyes looked like a normal ponies, his wings then vanished, his hair turned a bluish grey "how do I look?".

"It looks great!" Twilight cheered and hugged the small filly, she then made a mirror appear.

"Huh...ok..." Eclipse looked at his reflection, he did look like what he assumed a normal pony here looks like.

"Alright well you can wear that around the castle so it feels comfortable and natural, I'm gonna go get my friends together" Twilight said as she walked away.

Eclipse looked at himself in the mirror again 'you know she wants you to keep that on so you don't look like yourself, she's disgusted by how you look' the woman's voice said in Eclipse's head.

Eclipse looked sad and hung his head "n-no..." He tried argue but he knew it was probably true, she did try and kill him because of how he looked, he understood she would try and hide it.
> Other Elements

Twilight and Eclipse had left the castle and we're now making their way around town, Eclipse was staying very close to Twilight because he was a bit afraid of them all.

Twilight made sure to keep looking at Eclipse to see if she was alright, she was very shy around others it seemed.

Twilight showed Eclipse around town; the boutique, SugarCube Corner, and the other miscellaneous markets and stores, but whenever a pony would walk by she would hide under Twilight, it was actually very cute. She decided that was enough for today and started walking back to the castle with Eclipse.

Eclipse seemed more interested in the library when they got back to the castle.

"I wanna read some books" Eclipse said looking up at twilight, he didn't really read to much besides fiction. he was interested in the library because he had no idea what was in this world, this library should have enough of the information he needed.

"Alright, I'm always happy to let a filly read." Twilight smiled, walking into the library with Eclipse "How many books do you want to read?"

"All of them" Eclipse said as she grabbed a book about equestrian history and sat down to start reading.

"Oh I don't think that book is really meant for a filly your age, maybe something with a bit more pictures?" Twilight offered.

"Leave them out for later I'm good with this one for now" Eclipse said as he was reading page after page.

"Um...alright" Twilight began getting books out for her.


{~~~~~~~~~~~{}~~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse had finished reading all the pages in five books, he knew the basics of equestrian history, Twilight was very surprised by how well the filly could read.

Eclipse looked read the books Twilight suggested as well they were very interesting, though he then realized they were children's stories, that annoyed him and he glared at Twilight "I'm not a child".

"Well...others would like to disagree" Twilight said rubbing the back of her neck.

"Well I don't care what others say I'm saying I'm not" Eclipse huffed and grabbed another book to read, he then yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"I think it's time for a nap" Twilight said with a smile.

"I decide when I sleep, your not my mom" he retorted as he went back to reading, he then face planted in the book snoring slightly.

Twilight chuckled lightly and walked over, she then picked up Eclipse and put the book away, she walked up to her bed room, she then laid her in the bed and put the blanket over her, she left the room and headed downstairs just in time for the girls to walk into the castle.

"What are we here for Twilight? Your letter wasn't very descriptive" Rarity said as they walked over to her.

"Well...I had picked up a magical anomaly by the old castle of the sisters, so when I went there I found a filly and well...I think you all should just see for yourselves" twilight walked them all up to her room and walked over to the bed.

"Twi what are we doing here?" Apple Jack asked but was then shushed by Twilight.

"Shh she's sleeping" Twilight carefully pulled the blanket off Eclipse to show them.

When they all saw her there jaws dropped, except pinkie who was trying hold in her excitement of a new pony.

"Darling can we have a word with you out of the room" Rarity said calmly and they all left the room "what is Nightmare Moon doing in your bed?!?!?!?!?" She yelled.

"Calm down, it's not really nightmare moon, from what I can understand it's a filly that looks like her...or from her story a completely different being trapped in the body of a filly, but I can't prove that theory yet" Twilight explained peaking in the bed room to make sure the filly was still sleeping, and thankfully she was.

"So she just looks like her?" Applejack asked.

"Yes she's nothing like Nightmare Moon...just a little...grumpy and moody, but also shy" Twilight answered.

"Hm I don't like this, but how much damage can she do as a filly?" Rainbowdash stated and crossed her hooves.

"Well if she has a magical surge as a alicorn filly...the entire castle could blow up..." Rarity said causing everyone's eyes to go wide.

Twilight was now looking panicked "I didn't even think about that! Her magical surges could cause total destruction!".

"Woah now sugar cube, can't you use some type of spell to see how much magic she has?" Applejack asked trying to calm twilight.

"Yes yes you're right I can just see how much she has, it's probably not even that much" Twilight chuckled and walked back into the bedroom, after a few minutes she walked back out.

"So?" Rainbowdash asked.

"It's....really really...big...bigger then a filly should have even an alicorn one, I'm not even sure if her body could handle releasing that much magic in a surge, honestly it could kill her with the first surge..." Twilight said now with a somber worried expression, she was worried for the town and especially Eclipse.

The other girls gasped and looked horrified.

"There must be something you can do to stop it twilight" Fluttershy said worried.

"I know I'm going to try and look through spells to try and limit the amount of magic to be released...but even that's dangerous, if you don't release a lot of built up magic it will try to find other ways out of the body, like completely destroy the body..." Twilight explained.

"Don't do that!!" Fluttershy yelled in panic but it was a quite yell, she didn't want to wake the filly.

"Oh Celestia what do I do?..." Twilight groaned while trying to think, she then gasped "Celestia! She could help she's been a alicorn her whole life she must know a way to prevent dangerous magical surges". 

"Um...not to make Celestia sound cruel but wouldn't she just banish the filly because she's nightmare moon?..." Rainbowdash questioned.

Twilights smile crumbled and she imagined how it would play, Celestia showing up seeing the filly and then sending her to the moon and then an explosion happening in the moon "nope nevermind Celestia can't help".

"So then what do we do?" Applejack asked.

"I'm going to try and find a way to save her" Twilight rushed to the library.

The girls followed her to try and help


{~~~~~~~~~~{}~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse was tossing and turning in his sleep, he was trapped in a nightmare.

Eclipse dodged bottles smashing against the ground, they were thrown by people he's known.

He scrambled under a box and watched the large crowd run past him, he was panting and sighed in relief.

The box was then ripped off him and he was pulled up into the air, he was slammed against a brick wall and thrown out of the alleyway "ngh..." He struggled to try and crawl away but his hair was grabbed, his face was then slammed against the ground resulting in a crunching sound, tears streamed down his face in pain, he was kicked away "w-why?..." He whimpered in pain.

"Why?! Oh it's just because you stole my second chance at life!! You little brat!" Nightmare Moon growled and stomped her foot down on his leg making it snap he screamed in pain, she took the form of a human to torment him.

"P-please...I didn't want this...I just want to go back to my life..." He sobbed as he pulled his legs to his chest but winced when he moved his broken one "d-dreams aren't supposed to hurt..." He whimpered.

"Oh I can make anything happen in here you little brat" she growled had picked him up and threw him through a window, he smashed through it getting cut up by the glass, one p was even lodged in her shoulder, she walked into the building "now that your in control of this body I'm a passenger, so now I'm just going to make you suffer everytime you go to sleep".

She picked him up and slammed his face against a mirror, the entire world was gone now, it was a black void with the mirror just flouting there, the ground was now a sickly grey.

"Look at yourself...a complete abomination...you ruined the body I was supposed to get, my second and only chance back to life and you took it away and now your trapped in this world to suffer, but look on the bright side no one will miss you back at your home world, you had no one back there I know because I've been stuck in your pitiful mind, I've been looking at all the memories you have, really pathetic life by the way" she chuckled and slammed him against the mirror again.

Blood was dripping down the mirror, it was from the side of his face she kept slamming against the mirror, his head was pounding and his vision was blurry "p...please...".

"Yes beg" she slammed him against it again.

"Pl..please stop..." He whimpered.

"Oh I will when I get bored of your suffering" she slammed him against it repeatedly until the mirror shattered, he was left limp and dripping with blood, he was in so much pain he didn't want to move "giving up already? Why did I think you wouldn't? Hehe your a waste" she let him drop into the void behind the mirror.

He looked at her as she slowly got further and further away as he fell, eventually he couldn't see her it was just pure darkness, he wished he could just get away from this horrible world.


{~~~~~~~~~~{}~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse woke up to a wet pillow, it was soaked with his tears from his sleep, he sat up and looked down at at his legs that were black and ended in hooves, he then burst into tears and sobbed.

Twilight quickly ran into the room "eclipse what's wrong??" She saw Eclipse sitting there sobbing and quickly rushed over and hugged her.

"I-I had a n-nightmare" he sobbed into her chest as he hugged her tightly.

"Shh shh it's ok" twilight rubbed Eclipse's back to try and calm her, she sat there holding Eclipse and rubbing her back for a while until Eclipse calmed down "hey...how about we go meet some of my friends?".

Eclipse shook his head.

"C'mon they're really nice and they'd love to meet you" she smiled down at Eclipse, she pulled her head away from her and looked up at twilight she sniffled and nodded "alright c'mon" she put Eclipse in her back and walked out of the room.

Eclipse was not excited to meet Twilights friends, she didn't want to meet anyone right now, not after that Nightmare.

Twilight walked into the library where the other elements were sitting, each had expressions worry from hearing the filly crying "don't worry girls she's ok, she just had a bad dream".

The girls relaxed and looked at the the filly who was trying to hid behind Twilights mane, but twilight picked her up with her magic and set the filly down on the ground, the girls looked at her and smiled kindly.

Eclipse quickly ran back behind twilight, he didn't know why he was so scared of them they aren't that scary, he blamed this body for this new shyness and fear.

"It's ok they aren't scary" Twilight said softly looking back at eclipse who had wrapped herself around Twilight tail "come on out" she tried to get her to come out.

Eclipse shook his head, he was nice and comfortable right here around this tail, then he saw the pink ponies face next to him smiling brightly.

"H-" pinkie was cut off at the screaming if the filly as she ran away from pinkie, she ran under the couch but her back end was stuck out, she was trying to push herself all the way under but couldn't go any further.

"Pinkie what the heck?? She was already scared, you just made it worse" Twilight scolded.

"Sorry I was just excited about meeting her, and I wanted ask her some questions so I could throw her a Not Evil Moon Pony Party" Pinkie chuckled nervously as Twilight just glared.

"Apologize to her when she comes out" Twilight said sternly and then walked over to the couch and crouched down to Eclipse "hey it's ok now pinkie didn't mean to scare you she was just really excited to meet you, can you come out so she can apologize?".

"No..." Eclipse said quietly.

"How come?" Twilight asked.

"....I'm stuck..." Eclipse said with a bright blush in his face, he was glad he was under the couch so none of them could see it, Twilight then lifted the couch up and pulled him out revealing his Boucher to all of them, his face only got redder.

Pinkie walked over "I'm sorry for scaring you, I just really really wanted to know what your favorite cake is..." She apologized.

"....ice cream..." Eclipse said softly not looking at her, she was tightly pressed up against twilight which made all the others coo at how cute he looked, except Rainbowdash.

Pinkie smiled "alright thanks bye" she ran off in the blink of an eye leaving a smoke copy behind.

"Wha?..." Eclipse walked over to the smoke copy slowly and poked it, it then poked him back on the nose making him freak out and ran back to Twilight "I-it moved!! Did you see it?? How did it do that?? It's smoke isn't it???" He asked her quickly.

"Hehe...yeah that's just something pinkie can do...don't worry about it" Twilight said and ruffled up Eclipses mane.

Rarity looked at Eclipse and smiled "Twilight I must make her an outfit, those colors could look fabulous with a dress".

"No...no dresses..." Eclipse said looking at Rarity.

Rarity looked stunned "what? But I..." She looked at the filly who gave an expression that said there was no changing her mind, she then sighed "fine...".

Rainbowdash flew over and looked at Eclipses wings "huh her wings are a lot bigger then a normal fillies, I wonder how fast she could fly...".

The moment the words fly left Rainbowdash's mouth Eclipse had a look of realization, he had wings which meant he could fly now, a childhood dream everyone's had, he looked at his wings and stretched them out and gave them a little test flap "I wanna fly" he said looking at Twilight.

"Well I guess you should learn to but...I think we need to have a place where you won't get hurt" Twilight agreed and looked at Rainbowdash "think you can teach her?".

Rainbowdash smiled "oh yeah, I wanna see what she can do".

Eclipse was already liking this blue pony, he looked at the other ponies in the room, a orange one with a cowboy hat or cowgirl, a yellow one who looked shy and adorable, the fashion one who looked upset she couldn't make him a dress.

This may not be so bad after all.


{~~~~~~~~~~{A Few Hours Later}~~~~~~~~~~}


He was wrong so wrong! They were treating him like a child!! Though he was a child in body and somewhat in mind, he was an adult man! And he did not like the cooing or the tickling, he hates the tickling 'curse this small little ticklish body' he thought to himself as he was now fighting off the hooves attempting to tickle him.

"Back! Back I said demons!!" Eclipse swatting at the hooves, unfortunately one snuck up on him from above, curse that blue pony, he was once again reduced to a giggling fur ball.

Twilight smiled at the giggling Eclipse, she wasn't actually sure is she was enjoying it or not but she did seem to go back after the girls when they left her alone, she was happy she introduced Eclipse to them she seems a lot happier now.
> Surges
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse was reading once again, this time he was reading about magic, he'd seen Twilight use her horn to levitate things all the time and was a bit jealous of it.

He can't use his hooves to grab anything so he might as well use his horn.

He had another book about flying, which Rainbow Dash said he didn't need to know how to fly. 

Eclipse still decided to read it, he was reading between the books a pearly flight was a type of magic pegasi had, earth ponies had earth magic which appeare toy he had too since he was what is known as an alicorn, a type of chimera of all three pony types, it was seen as royalty for good reason since alicorns had unimaginable amounts of power.

Eclipse will admit he was already liking the fact that he was one, he looked at different spells, mainly ones that allowed you to change your gender, he was getting very annoyed with the fact that everyone was referring to him as a girl, unfortunately there didn't seem to be any spells on gender changes though there here have been cases where magic has changed a ponies gender, this mainly happened when a young unicorn filly or colt had a magical surge.

'Magical surge? What the heck is that?' Eclipse questioned in thought and looked back to the book to read for more information on surges, he found out that they were something along the lines of when a unicorn child's magic builds up and releases in great amount, apparently it's very dangerous because the magic can do anything since the child isn't actually in control of the magic. There's no spells being focused when this happens so the magic creates random effects, this can be both dangerous for the child and anyone around.

'Hopefully I don't get any if those...' Eclipse thought to himself feeling a little scared, he then decided to go back to reading about flying, he can learn magic later.

"She really likes ta read huh Twilight?" Applejack said with a smile looking at Twilight who was smiling happily at the fillies enthusiasm at reading.

"I know! Isn't it great!?" Twilight said excitedly.

"Oh yeah it's just spectacular that your raising another egghead" Rainbow Dash said bored.

"I'm not an egghead, and I didn't teach her to read or tell her too, she just wanted to start reading, she's read through history, math, and now magic and flight, I'm so proud of her" Twilight explained with a proud smile on her face.

Rainbow Dash had an idea then "Hey...how about I teach her how to fly, I'm sure that would make her even more excited to read more about flying?" She said with a smirk.

"That's a good idea Rainbow Dash" Twilight agreed and trotted over to Eclipse, all while Rainbow Dash praised herself at her good idea "Hey Eclipse, I know your busy reading, but Rainbow Dash has offered to teach you to fly, you don't have to right now b-" she was cut off when she heard a book hit the ground, she looked at where Eclipse was and only found an empty spot with the book she was reading on the floor.

Eclipse ran over to Rainbow Dash with excitement plastered on her face after hearing she'd get to fly "You`re gonna teach me to fly???" She asked hopping with excitement.

"Yup, so I'm guessing since you can't sit still that you want to learn now?" Rainbow Dash asked and was answered with rapid nodding, she smiled and walked out of the castle with Eclipse.

Rainbow Dash walked over to a clear spot "Alright this should be good" she turned towards Eclipse who was smiling "Okay, so first I want you to stretch out your wings and give them a good test flap".

Eclipse stretched her wings out and flapped them a bit, they felt odd but she was getting the hang of moving them.

"Alright good, now you'll need to flap them up and down hard to get off the ground, start off slow then pick up speed slowly" Rainbow Dash explained and demonstrated by flapping her wings slowly before going faster and was lifted off the ground a few inches.

Eclipses nodded and flapped her wings, she did as Rainbow Dash instructed and was able to get a few inches off the ground, she beamed with joy and looked at Rainbow Dash.

"Alright your a fast learner, now if you want to move in a direction flap your wings back to move forward and flap your wings forward to move back" she explained.

He nodded and flapped forward moving backwards, he then flapped backwards and went forward, she squealed in excitement before blushing in embarrassment.

"Hehe the first time flying can be really exciting" Rainbow Dash chuckled "Now let's try going higher" she flapped her wings down and went higher.

Eclipse did the same and went higher, she looked around now able to see much more than when she was close to the ground, she failed to notice she was still going higher.

"Hey watch what your doing!" Rainbow Dash called trying to get Eclipses attention.
"Oh..sorry" she stopped but was now confused "How do I go down?"

"Just slow your wings flapping and you'll go lower" Rainbow Dash said and flew close to Eclipse to make sure she didn't fall.

Eclipse slowed her flapping down and she started to lower "This is so cool!" She said excitedly, her excitement ended when her head started aching, she rubbed her head as the pain increased 'My head feels like it's burning, do I have a fever?' She questioned in her thoughts.

Rainbow Dash noticed Eclipse wasn't looking so good "Hey you okay?" She flew closer to Eclipse with worry.

"I-I do t feel s-so g-" Eclipse was cut off when her horn sparked and magic exploded out from her horn, the explosion sent Rainbow Dash flying backwards and crashing into a tree, Eclipse was blinded by the light from the explosion.

It knocked her down to the ground, she felt her horn build up and it shot out electrical magic that ripped across the ground until it hit a tree blowing it in half, she stumbled back and tried to keep herself standing until she felt another build up.

Her horn shot out another magical explosion sending her crashing into the castle wall, she groaned as she laid in the ground, everything was blurry and her head hurt so much. 

She felt another build up and whimpered, she forced her head upwards to the sky and a beam of magical energy shot into the sky, it shot through clouds lighting up the sky.

The beam continued shooting out, it got weaker and weaker until just sparks shot out of her horn, she collapsed to the ground, groaning as her horn continued to try and shot out magic.

Rainbow Dash seeing that it was over quickly flew over to Eclipse to make sure she was okay, she lifted up her head "Hey are okay?? Cmon say something" she said worriedly.

"Ngh...m-my head...hurts..." Eclipse said the only thing she could think of in her aching head before passing out.

Rainbow Dash shook her "No no come on stay awake!" She picked up Eclipse and flew into the castle "Twilight!!" She called panicked.

Twilight was already running towards the door after feeling the large amounts of magic outside when Rainbow Dash flew in, she looked at Eclipse "What happened?!"

"We were flying, everything was going good but then she just started shooting out magic, I don't think she had control though" Rainbow Dash explained quickly.

"She must of had a magic surge" Twilight grabbed Eclipse and started using her magic to see if she was badly hurt, she sighed in relief when she saw that she was okay "That's good...she must have just used up all her energy in the surge".

Twilight walked to her bedroom and laid Eclipse in bed, she got out a wet rag on Eclipse's head to cool her head down, she walked back to her friends and told them what happened "Eclipse will probably be asleep for the rest of the day, I'm just glad the surge didn't hurt her as bad as it could have..."

"Yeah but that was still pretty bad, she tore up the ground out there" Rainbow Dash said "She could have really hurt herself, did you find out a way to stop her surges?" She asked hoping there was a way to help Eclipse.

"I could only find a spell to to absorb the magic she releases, it won't hurt her or anything, but we still will need to figure out where to release the magic" Twilight explained looking somber.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Old Castle A Few Minutes Ago}~~~~~~~~~~}


Emerald was looking around the castle, he needed to make sure the spell didn't create something, if it did he'd need to destroy it so he could try again to bring his Queen back.

As he was searching, his horn vibrated as he felt a magical energy release, he quickly ran out of the castle to see a beam of magic shoot up into the sky, he recognized that magic, it was his as well as others. 

A frown formed on his face "So something was created in the spell...hrr I can't let it tarnish the Queen`s name with its existence".

He made his way out of the forest towards the source of the magic, he kept an eye on the beam in the sky and saw it slowly decreasing "No!" He ran towards the source, he couldn't loose it.

He skidded to a stop when he saw the crystal castle "damn it...could it have been found? And of all the ponies to find it...it had to be the princess of friendship..." He looked around trying to see if he could find what had released the magic, he spotted one of the elements rushing over to a black filly on the ground.

"Could it have tried to attack the elements and hurt a filly...?" He looked closer at the filly and his eyes widened "No...the spell worked!...In a way..." He now had to think of what to do with this new information.

"I'll need to assemble the children of night...it appears we'll have to add new parts to the plan" he started walking away "Why can things never go according to my plans...?" He growled as he walked away.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Crystal Castle hours later}~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse groaned waking up, she rubbed her head in pain 'God my head...what the hell was that...?' She thought to herself as she stood up, she looked around and saw it was night, she noticed in the window small white specs fell down slowly.

She walked over to the window and looked outside, she squinted trying to look at the specs closer, it was snow "So it's winter here too...or it just snows randomly here...honestly after what I've seen I wouldn't doubt it..."

She watched the snow slowly fall, it brought back memories she'd rather forget "Great...I was just about to forget too...ugh hopefully they don't have Christmas here...I don't need a fat pony in a red suit here" She huffed and laid down in the bed looking at the ceiling.

She couldn't help but remember the past.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Three Weeks Ago On Earth}~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse was sitting in a restaurant with his family, he had a smile on his face as he listened to his families stories, his dad's jokes made everyone at the table laugh even someone at a table across from us burst out laughing after hearing one of his jokes.

It was Christmas in two weeks, Eclipse couldn't be any more excited, he loved Christmas spending time with your family giving them gifts, sitting home watching Christmas movies, it was a nice holiday.

They finished eating and got up to leave, his dad left a tip like usual, they payed for what they ate and left the restaurant.

They all got in the car and drove out of the parking lot, Eclipse blew on his window making it fog up, he then drew in it, he always liked to draw.

Then it happened, in the blink of an eye it all changed.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Equestria Present}~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse wiped tears from her eyes and hugged a pillow tightly she cried into the pillow she was hugging, remembering was to painful.

Twilight walked into the room hearing the crying "Eclipse? Are you okay...?"

Eclipse sniffled "I'm fine..."

Twilight frowned and walked over to the bed "it's okay...you don't need to tell me" she climbed into the bed and pulled Eclipse into a hug.

Eclipse sniffled and hugged Twilight "I remembered something from my home...".
"Was it bad?" Twilight asked.

Eclipse nodded slowly, she didn't want to tell Twilight about her past fully.

Twilight rubbed Eclipse's back gently, she didn't want to push Eclipse to tell her.

"It was about my family...I miss them..." Eclipse said as she looked at Twilight`s fur.

"I'm sorry you can't be with them...I'll try and make this place like a home to you..." Twilight assured Eclipse.

"Thank you" Eclipse replied hugging her tighter, she drifted off to sleep while hugging Twilight, this time she wasn't haunted by nightmares.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Hours Later}~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse woke up with a yawn, she stretched and rubbed her eyes, she looked around around to find the room empty 'Twilight must have left to make breakfast or something.'

She crawled out of bed and made her way to the kitchen, though she had some difficulty "Why does this place have to be so big??" She found a bathroom, a bedroom, what looked like a room with a large statue of a muscular dragon guy "The hell?" She slowly made her way out of the room and bumped into Spike.

"Oh hey Eclipse" Spike looked at the room she just left and his eyes widened with panic "So you sa-".

"I'm not gonna ask or tell if you can give me directions to the kitchen" Eclipse said, she didn't even want to ask about the statue and she was pretty hungry.

"Yeah just walk down the hall, take a left and then a right and then you should be there" Spike said while doing little hand gestures "Wait you know left from right, right?"

"Of course I do! I'm not a child!" Eclipse huffed and walked past him, she made her way down the hall and turned down another.

"That's right, I said left" Spike called.

Eclipse chuckled embarrassed "I-I knew that I was just...trolling you hehe..." She made her way down the left hall.

'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I should know my left from my right...ugh it must be this body, am I loosing my adult mind?...shit' she thought as she walked down the hall and made a right where she was told to.

As she walked she felt a familiar tingling in her horn, her eyes went wide in terror, she put her hooves on her horn desperately trying to hold back what was about to happen.

Her horn sparked and nothing happened "W-what? That's it?...Oh thank you God" She smiled and got up she made her way down the hall and glanced out the window to see the sky was darker and that there was an eclipse happening "Huh an eclipse? Cool".


{~~~~~~~~~~{Canterlot Castle}~~~~~~~~~~~~}


Celestia spit her tea out when she saw an eclipse in the sky, she looked at it confused before she realized what this was, she chuckled lightly a little joke by Luna.

Celestia made her way to Luna's room, once she got there she knocked in the door.

Luna opened the door looking tired "Yes sister?" She yawned.

"You got me quite good lulu, I wasn't expecting that, but you know this now means I must have my revenge" Celestia giggled.

Luna smiled "So you found my little surprise? Hehe it took me a while I was worried you wouldn't notice".

"Wouldn't notice? It would be impossible not to notice this one lulu, all of Equestria will notice this prank" Celestia smiled till she noticed her sisters confused expression.

"What do you mean?..." Luna asked confused.

"The eclipse, a lot of pony`s are going to notice an eclipse going on in the sky" Celestia explained.

Luna ran to her window and opened the curtains her eyes went wide in shock at seeing the eclipse going on in the sky "s-sister...I didn't do this..."

Celestia's smile went away "What do you mean? Who else could have moved the moon?" She walked over to her sister.

Luna looked at Celestia with worry evident on her face "I-I'm not sure, I didn't even feel it be moved...".

"We should visit Twilight and see if she knows anything" Celestia said and made her way out of the room only to have a bucket of water got dumped on her "I'm guessing this was the prank you were referring to?" She looked back at Luna.

"Um y-yes sorry sister I had completely forgotten I had made it fallow you..." Luna smiled nervously.

"Well...it would have been a good prank if not for the recent events..." Celestia cast a spell and dried herself, she then walked away "Oh, but this does mean I will be trying to get my revenge" She called back to Luna.

"Hm...not sure what I should be more afraid of...what's causing this eclipse...or Celly`s revenge..." Luna thought it over "definitely Celly`s revenge".


{~~~~~~~~~~{Crystal Castle}~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse finally found the kitchen "Twilight your castle`s to big" She huffed and tried to climb into a chair.

Twilight levitated eclipse up into the chair "Well I didn't make it this big, it kinda just grew like this...and yeah I get lost from time to time as well..." She chuckled.

"Oh, I had another one of those tingly sparky things with my horn a little while ago" Eclipse said while looking up at her horn.

Twilight tensed "Y-you did?"

"Yeah but it just sparked and that was it, no pain or anything else" Eclipse explained.
"Really?" Twilight asked confused, she supposed it was possible that this was just a weaker surge.

Eclipse nodded "Sooo...can I have some breakfast?"

"Hm? Oh yes" Twilight levitated a plate with a sandwich on it to her.

Eclipse licked her lips and took a bite out of the sandwich "Mmm...so good, what's in it?"

"Daffodils" Twilight said as she made another sandwich.

Eclipse chewed the part of sandwich she had in her mouth and looked at the sandwich seeing bits of daffodils in it, her chewing slowed "so wait....I have flowers in my mouth?..."

"Yup" Twilight smiled and ate her sandwich.

Eclipse looked back down at her sandwich then at Twilight "This world loves to fuck with me...."

"Hey watch your language!" Twilight said sternly.

"Or what you'll wash my mouth out with soap?" Eclipse smirked.
Twilight smirked.

"Wait really?" Eclipse's smirk went away instantly.

A few minutes later eclipse was spitting out water after Twilight had literally washed her mouth out with soap "so soapy..." She groaned.

"Now will you use that language again?" Twilight questioned.

"Definitely not when your around" Eclipse spit trying to get the soap taste out of her mouth.

"What?" Twilight looked at Eclipse.

"Nothing, I said I won't cuss pinkie promise" Eclipse said 'hehe but I don't have pinkies, muahahaha' she laughed manically in her head.

"Okay, then you know what to do" Twilight said.

"I'm sorry wha?" Eclipse asked confused.

"You said you pinkie promised so you gotta say the pinkie promise" Twilight said still waiting.

'Crap that's actually a thing here, um um shit what do I do??' Eclipse chuckled nervously "Mind reminding me how it goes...?"

"Alright, you would say you pinkie promise not to cuss cross your heart hope to fly, stick a cup cake in my eye" Twilight explained as she performed the actions.

"Really I gotta do that lame cr-" Eclipse stopped herself seeing Twilight's glare, she huffed "okay okay...I Pinkie promise not to cuss, cross my blah blah blah".

"C'mon do it right" Twilight said.

"Fiiiine....I pinkie promise not to cuss...cross my heart hope to fly...god this is lame...stick a cupcake in my e-ow!" She ended up poking her eye "ngh this is stupid!"

"Hehe yes well now I'll know you won't cuss" Twilight smiled and ruffled up Eclipse's mane.

They heard a flashing sound.

"Twilight? Sorry for the sudden appearance but we have some questions for you" Celestia said as she got closer.

"Oh no...Eclispe quickly go upstairs and go get your disguise ring on, you can't be seen by them like this" Twilight said quietly.

"What why?...I look like other ponies..." Eclipse asked, she didn't like having to hide how she looked.

"I'll explain later" Twilight said as she pushed her out of the kitchen.

Eclipse huffed "But...I don't like hiding how I look..." She hung her head and made her way to the stairs.

Luna appeared by the stairs "I regret not having my sister teleport me...I do not know this castle".

Eclipse pumped into her leg "Oh sorry, I wasn't looking wh- woah your tall".

Luna smiled and chuckled "Yes well that comes with being an alicorn, who might you b-" her smile vanished when she looked down at the filly, she looked like a filly Nightmare Moon.

"Hi I'm Eclipse" she smiled.

"Y-your Nightmare Moon..." Luna said stunned.

"No...Eclipse, Eclipse, I read a bit about Nightmare Moon, sounds like a real bi-...jerk" Eclipse remembered the soap, never again.

"Sister!!" Luna called.

Celestia walked out of the kitchen "Yes lulu-" she saw the filly.

"Oh come on! Really?? I don't look that bad..." Eclipse groaned.

"Nightmare Moon!!" Celestia yelled in anger.
> Darkness Within
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Nightmare Moon!" Celestia yelled in anger as Celestia lit her horn while she was about to fire a spell at the filly.

Twilight jumped in front of Eclipse "Wait, wait, wait, Princess! She's not Nightmare Moon, or at least not in mind, she's not evil!" Twilight explained.

"You knew of her Twilight? Were you planing to keep her a secret from us?" Celestia questioned with a stern expression.

"W-well not forever I just...I knew if I told you, you would try and kill her..." Twilight said and looked at Eclipse "She`s been through things nopony should have, now she looks like one of the most hated ponies in Equestria...."

"....I can see why you would be afraid of such things Twilight... but you still should have told us..." Luna said and looked at Eclipse "We will need to take her back to Canterlot and test for ourselves to see if she's actually not Nightmare Moon..."

"I-I....okay princess..." Twilight said with a sigh.

"What...? No, I do t want to...I want to stay with Twilight!" Eclipse said as she hurried over to Twilight "You said you'd make this place feel like a home to me! Now your just giving me away...? I thought...things would be different...I...I thought you'd be different.." Tears formed in her eyes "But you`re just like them! Your just going to leave me!!" Her horn sparked.

"Eclipse, please calm down, your magic is still unstable!" Twilight said trying to clam her down.

"No! You`re just like them!! I don't know why I ever thought things would be different" Eclipse's horn sparked as it began to glow "You`re nothing but a liar!!!" She yelled, and a flash of light went off , she was gone.

"Where'd she go?!" Twilight said with panic.

"She teleported!" Celestia said and cast a spell to try and see if she could follow it "Her magic is to unstable, I can't follow its trail".

"How will we find her? She's just a filly, what if she teleported into a dragons den? Or an ursa majors cave?!" Twilight started to panic.

"Calm yourself Twilight we will find her" Celestia said trying to calm the young alicorn.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Old Castle}~~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse shook her head, then looked around "What happened...? Wait did I teleport? I read in that magic book that a unicorn could do that..." She rubbed her head and frowned.

"Twilight was just gonna give me away to those two...like I wasn't something to her..." Tears ran down her face, she sniffled.

"What more would you expect from the princess?" A mare walked out of the shadows. 

Eclipse jumped back "W-who are you?".

"Calm down, my name's Violet Night, consider me a friend..." She walked over and wiped the tears off of Eclipse's face "Oh, you poor thing... those princesses can be so cruel".

"I thought she cared about me...but...she just gave me away the moment she was asked to" Eclipse hung her head.

"Of course she did...she never liked you...she only saw you as Nightmare Moon" Violet said.

"How did you know?" Eclipse looked at her confused.

"I've been keeping an eye on you for a while...and why shouldn't you be seen as Nightmare Moon? A powerful alicorn strong enough to defeat Celestia herself, that is why she didn't like you, she was afraid of you...she feared the power you held" Violet explained as she circled Eclipse.

"So why deny what you are? You could be the most powerful alicorn there is, you could rule all of Equestria and take your revenge on the ponies who hurt you....so why not become Nightmare Moon?..." Violet stopped behind Eclispe and pulled a tarp off the mirror on the wall, she then used her magic on it "Why not be who you were meant to be?"

When Eclipse looked into the mirror she saw an adult alicorn version of herself, she walked towards the mirror and looked at her reflection, she touched the mirror with her hoof, she looked down at the ground in thought.

"What do you say?" Violet smiled evilly.

Eclipse looked at her reflection again and her expression turned stern "I'll be who I was meant to be".

Violet smiled "Good, now let's go your followers, they will love to hear of this news..." She lit her horn, they teleported to a castle.

"This castle was built in your honor, my queen" Violet walked with Eclipse around the castle, she showed her each room.

"This place is huge... gonna be hard to figure out all the rooms...." Eclipse said looking around.

"Yes, well you have a lot of devoted followers, they needed places to stay as well" Violet explained.

"Oh okay, that makes sense..." Eclipse looked at paintings on the walls, they were all of Nightmare Moon.

A stallion walked up to them "Violet, where have you been? I said I needed everypony to know the plan for it to work".

"Hmm, yes well I decided I'd do my own thing Emerald" Violet smirk and motioned with her head to Eclipse.

Emerald looked down and his eyes went wide "You...you got it? How?"

"I waited at the castle, I knew eventually she'd come back, it is the place she first came into being, I didn't need your little plan" Violet said with a smirk.

Emeralds eye twitched "Tch...why do I bother even coming up with the plans if you just go off on your own?!" 

"It keeps you distracted while I actually accomplish things, now she would like to embrace her true self Emerald" Violet smiled looking back at Eclipse.

"Yeah...I want to be the real me..." Eclipse looked at the ground.

"Alright...then let us do so" Emerald lit his horn, he released a magical energy beam at Eclipse, a free aura engulfed her.

"Ow...ngh...gahhhh!!!!!" Eclipse screamed as the magic sunk into her skin, she started glowing as her body shifted, her legs popped and grew longer, her neck stretched, her horn got longer and her wings got larger.

Her mind fused with Nightmare Moon's, she gained all the memories Nightmare Moon had as well as Luna's.

Her body finished shifting as the white glow went away, she was barely keeping herself standing as she panted.

"My queen...?" Emerald asked but got no reply "Nightmare Mo-" he was cut off when he was slammed into the wall and choked by a red magical aura.

Eclipse stood up and opened her Crimson colored eyes, she was glaring at Emerald "A warning would have been nice...and do not call me Nightmare Moon...I am Nightmare Eclipse...yes that fits me much better" she threw Emerald to the ground.

"Magic feels so much easier now...I now realize how pathetic I was before, but now I will continue with my plan to rule Equestria by making it night forev-...that's a really stupid plan actually..." Eclipse realized.

"If I make it night forever all the plants would die, which would mean the food would die too....screw it I'm just gonna take over Equestria and rule the sun and moon" Eclipse said and started walking.

Emerald hurried over to her "W-wait my queen but you'v always wanted to make it ever lasting night, now you wish to change your plans? What about making your subjects worship the night?"

Eclipse stopped and turned to him "I don't give a damn about those ponies, and they'll worship me! I am the night!" She yelled as she walked away.

Violet snickered as she walked past a dumbfounded Emerald "Looks like nopony cares about your plans" she followed Eclipse.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Three Hours later}~~~~~~~~~~}


Twilight was pacing back and fourth, Celestia had ordered her guards to search around town and in the forest for Eclipse, she had told Twilight to remain in the castle if Eclipse came back here.

Twilight looked out the window outside with worry and sadness on her face "I'm so sorry Eclipse...." She hung her head.

The other girls walked in, all of them sharing a depressed expression, Twilight ran over to them.

"Did you see her?" Twilight asked looking at them with hope, but the girls just shook their heads, she hung her head "I should have tried to tell the princesses that she wasn't dangerous....that she was safe to stay here....but...I was just willing to give her away" Tears formed in her eyes.

The girls hugged her trying to comfort her.

"Twi, it'll be okay, we'll find her and you can make things better then" Applejack said.

"Yes darling, she'll understand you were just doing what the princesses told you to do" Rarity reassured.

"And we'll help you do it, none of us are gonna stop looking for her, I know I won't" Rainbow Dash replied.

Twilight smiled "Thanks girls".
> The Nightmare That Stole Hearthswarming
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two weeks have passed, nopony has seen Eclipse since her run away, none of the guards could find her, and none of the girls could either.

Twilight hasn't done much besides to try and look for Eclipse, she barely takes rests, and for the most part she is out looking for her, Spike had to force her to eat one day.

Meanwhile, Eclipse has been having her army trained and prepared for when she would strike, at the moment she was sitting on her throne as Emerald was telling her another battle plan.

She was very tired of his plans, they were so boring, she was staring off out the window and saw snow falling, she saw her self-sitting at a table in a restaurant with her family, they were so happy but then...

She shook her head as she felt tears well up in her eyes 'No...no do not show weakness..' She told her self in her thoughts.

"Are you okay, my queen?" Emerald asked looking at her.

"Yes...yes I'm fine...just...remembering something..." Eclipse sighed and looked back out the window.

"Ah, Luna's memories I presume? Yes, I imagine hearthswarming would bring memories back up" Emerald said.

"Hearthswarming...? What is that again?" Eclipse asked but continued looking out the window, she hoped him rambling on about something from this culture would take her mind off things.

"Well hearthswarming is when ponies spend time with their families for winter, they exchange gifts-" Emerald was about to continue but was cut off.

"No fucking way....you mean to tell me even in another dimension Christmas still exists here!?" She yelled.

"Christmas?" Emerald asked confused.

"Hrrr arghh!!! Damn it!! I can never escape that damn holiday!! Even in another dimension, it's still here!" She growled and glared out the window when she got an idea, she had amazing power now, she had an army and devoted followers.

A devious smile spread across her face and curled at the corner of her lips "Oh, I have the perfect idea..." She chuckled darkly.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Crystal Castle}~~~~~~~~~~~}


Twilight was sitting in her room looking out her window, watching the snow fall and fillies playing in the snow.

She sighed and looked away, she missed Eclipse so much and felt so horrible for being so willing to just give her away. 

There was a knock on her door.

"Twi? Can we come in?" Applejack asked from the other side of the door.

"Yeah come in..." Twilight said in a depressed tone, the five girls walked in with sad expressions.

"Darling, you can't stay in this room all day, we're worried about you," Rarity said.

"I know it's just...." Twilight huffed.

Fluttershy walked over and rubbed Twilight's back "We understand Twilight".

"Let's go for a walk Twilight, to try and take your mind off all this" Rainbowdash proposed with a smile.

"Yeah that sounds nice" Twilight smiled while she stood up, they all then left and walked around town.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Nightmare Castle}~~~~~~~~~~~}


"Alright then ground eight will go to this building, group nine will be with me and we'll head to Twilights castle," Eclipse said while pointing at a map of Ponyville.

Eclipse and a large ground of guards were standing outside of town, the night had fallen, and all the ponies in Ponyville were asleep.

All her guards saluted and marched off.

"My queen I feel this isn't the best way to use your army..." Emerald said.

"It's my army, and this is the best way to use my army," Eclipse said looking at her guards all go off to houses.

"How will stealing decorations and presents help your plans?" Emerald asked.

"Don't you see?? All their love for this holiday will crumble to nothing if I take everything they use to celebrate, it will weaken them and then we will strike" Eclipse laughed manically.

"Um...I suppose that would work..." Emerald said uncertainly.

"Of course it will" Eclipse growled and glared at him, she then teleported the guards and herself to Twilight's castle "Spread out and look for everything Hearthswarming related, take it all..." She ordered and walked towards a large tree.

She growled seeing all the presents, she started teleporting them all back to her castle, a smirk spread across her face as the presents disappeared one by one.

"Let's see them enjoy their Hearthswarming with no decorations, no presents, they'll have nothing! Nothing at a-" Eclipse stopped when she saw a sparkling dark blue box with a white ribbon on it, she levitated it over to herself and looked at it.

From: Twilight
To: Eclipse

Eclipse stared at the box for a while, she stood there reading the words over and over, she was inspecting everything about the box but never opening it, she was awestruck she couldn't believe she had a present, she hasn't had one in a what felt like a long time.

"My queen?" Emerald asked.

Eclipse jumped and turned around hiding the box behind her "What??"

"We've finished taking the rest of the decorations, we just need to get the tree" Emerald informed.

"Good, good job" Eclipse praised.

Emerald tried to look at what she had behind her but she just moved in the way blocking it, he looked at her suspiciously.

"Well go ahead, I'm going to head back to the castle to plan my next attack" Eclipse teleported away before he could say anything.

She walked down the hall looking at the box, she wondered what could be in it, it was so small it couldn't possibly hold anything big like a book or something, or maybe it was a magic box that could hold much larger things than how it appears.

It was a possibility in this magic-filled world, she walked to her room and closed the door, she then set it on a dresser in her room and sat down looking at it.


{~~~~~~~~~~~{Ponyville Hearthswarming Day}~~~~~~~~~~}


Spike yawned waking up before his eyes widened as he remembered what day it was, he jumped up from his basket and jumped onto two lights bed shaking her "Twilight, Twilight! Wake up!!"

"Ngh, Spike...stop" Twilight moaned trying to stay sleeping.

"C'mon or I'm opening your presents" he ran off to the tree.

"Fine..." She said trying to return to sleep.

Spike ran excitedly to the tree only to find an empty room with a few pine needles on the ground "TWILIGHT!!!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.

Twilight jumped up and ran to Spike and gasped when she found the empty room.

"What happened?!" He yelled.

"I-I don't know..I'm going to go find the girls" Twilight ran off and when she got outside she found all of Ponyville in front of the castle.

"Somepony stole my tree and presents!" A stallion yelled.

"Somepony took my presents too!!" A mare yelled.

"Somepony stole my cabbages!!" A stallion yelled and everypony looked at him "What...only me?"

"What in tarnation is going on Twi?" Applejack asked as she pushed through the crowd over to her friend.

"I'm not sure," Twilight replied.

"Hey, somepony stole my presents too!" Rainbowdash said as she landed by them.

"M-me too," Fluttershy said and walked over looking sad.

"It's unspeakable, some brute stole Sweetiebelle's and my presents, what kind of monster would do this??" Rarity asked as she walked over.

"I don't know, they must have been working in a group or they are very fast" Twilight theorized.

"Hm, maybe it was a ninja?" Pinkie said standing by them suddenly.

"Wait, surely you have Hearthswarming decorations and presents" Twilight looked at Pinkie with hope.

"Of course I do silly, c'mon let's go to my secret party planing cave, and don't call me Shirley," Pinkie said as she hopped off followed by the girls.

"Soo.... noponies going to help me with my cabbages?" the stallion asked.

"NO!!" the entire town yelled.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Pinkies Secret Party Planing Cave}~~~~~~~~~~~}


"It's empty?!" Pinkie yelled and zoomed around the empty room looking for any part supplies but found none "This is impossible!!! What monster would do this?!?!" She yelled into the sky.

"Well...it was worth a shot..." Twilight sighed.

"C'mon girls let's go try and find who did this" Twilight said and they all left to look for the ponies that did this.

"I bet it was the green grouchy stallion in the mountains...he's a good suspect," Pinkie said as they walked.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Nightmare Castle}~~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse was still looking at the sparkling blue present sitting on her dresser.

'Why did she get me a present...? I thought she didn't want me, I thought she hated me...does she?' She wasn't sure what she was feeling, she felt angry but wasn't sure if it was at Twilight or herself, she felt confused, and she felt sad, she was doing all this horrible stuff, but Twilight had a present for her unknowing of everything she was doing.

Tears formed in her eyes "W-why...why does this bother me so much?"


{~~~~~~~~~~{Five Years Ago On Earth}~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse was sitting in a restaurant with her family, she had a smile on her face as she listened to her families stories, her dad's jokes made everyone at the table laugh even someone at a table across from them burst out laughing after hearing one of his jokes.

It was Christmas in two weeks, Eclipse couldn't be any more excited, she loved Christmas, spending time with your family, giving them gifts, sitting home watching Christmas movies, it was a nice holiday.

They finished eating and got up to leave, her dad left a tip like usual, they paid for what they ate and left the restaurant.

They all got in the car and drove out of the parking lot, Eclipse blew on her window making it fog up, she then drew in it, she always liked to draw.

Then it happened, in the blink of an eye, it all changed.

While they were driving, a drunk driver swerved and crashed into them, their car crashed into a wall and Eclipse was knocked out, it all happened so fast.

She woke up the next two days later and was told her family didn't survive, she was the only one to survive the crash, she broke that day the entire world lost color and she felt empty.

She'd never get to eat with them again, never get to hear her dad's jokes, never get to give them gifts again.

She was released a week later, as she made her way home she saw so many smiling people, they all were so happy to spend time with their families and friends.

They'd get to eat together, they'd get to tell jokes together, they'd get to give gifts to each other.

It all made her so mad, she would never get to do any of that again, she'd be alone for the rest of her life, she'd never get to be with her family again.

She hated Christmas after that, the whole holiday was like a mockery of her loneliness, the fact that she had no one anymore, everything about the holiday made her angry.

But she was just sad really, she missed them so much.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Present Day Equestria}~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse sobbed while looking at the box, it had been so long since she remembered that moment, she's tried to bury it for so long but she couldn't keep it done anymore.

And now she was going to take this holiday away from all the ponies in Ponyville because she was angry at something they had nothing to do with.

She needed to fix this but she couldn't just show up with all the stuff and say `Sorry for stealing all your stuff please forgive me`.

She would have to do it at night, that way she wouldn't be seen, she really hoped she hadn't messed up too much.


{~~~~~~~~~~{Ponyville Midnight}~~~~~~~~~~}


Eclipse was pulling a cart with a large pile of Hearthswarming trees decorations and presents on it, she was panting as she pulled it "ngh...ngh, God I should have done this in trips...or use my magic...gah I'm an idiot" she teleported herself and the cart into Ponyville and started putting all the decorations, trees, and presents back in their rightful homes.

She finally got to Twilight's and put the tree up, she then placed the presents, she was feeling better about herself which made her smile "There, done" she whispered with a smile as she set the last present down.

"Eclipse?" Twilight asked from behind Eclipse.

Eclipses gasped and froze.

"You...you got all our stuff back..." Twilight looked at the tree and presents back in the room.

"I...yes..." Eclipse said still not turning to looking at Twilight.

"And you're all grown up..." Twilight said looking at Eclipse.

"Yeah...I'm...sorry for doing all this...I just...I wasn't happy and I guess I wanted everyone else to be just as sad as I was...but I don't want that anymore" Eclipse started making her way to a window "I'll just g-" she was cut off when Twilight ran over and hugged her.

"I'm so sorry Eclisoe I should have never been so willing to give you away to the princesses, I should have tried to explain to them more that your not dangerous, I'm sorry I made you cry," Twilight said while hugging Eclipse tightly.

Eclipse looked at Twilight, tears formed in her eyes, she then hugged Twilight back "It's okay... I forgive you... we both did things we regret, me more than you though...".

"It's okay now though, we're gonna make everything better together now," Twilight said.

"...there might be a cult that worships me too..." Eclipse said.

"...well...we can try and fix that too" Twilight replied.

"Okay...can we do it tomorrow? I just went to every house to put all the stuff back" Eclipse asked.

"Yeah sure," Twilight said and walked back to her room, Eclipse followed Twilight.

"C-can I sleep in here?...with you?..." Eclipse asked.

Twilight smiled "Yeah, sure".

Eclipse crawled into the bed and cuddled up to Twilight "Thank you, Twilight...".

"You're welcome..." Twilight smiled as they both fell asleep in the warm embrace
> The Rifts
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The girls were all standing in the lounging room staring aghast at Eclipse.


"You sure your Eclipse?...because your way taller now..." Rainbowdash said looking up ar Eclispe.


"Yeah...it's me..." Eclipse chuckled awkwardly.


"And you stole all the decorations, presents, and trees?" Rarity asked.


"Yes...." Eclipse hung her head "I'm really sorry...I was just mad because of what happened back on my world".


"What happened?" Applejack asked.


Eclipse told them what happened a few weeks back on her home, the girls were all in tears by the end of it and they all hugged her.


"Oh I'm so sorry darling..." Rarity said sniffling.


"Ah now see why ya did what ya did..." Applejack said.


"Thanks" Eclipse smiled sadly.


They all then heard yelling from outside "NIGHTMARE ECLIPSE!!" They all ran outside to find Emerald standing there mad and Violet standing next to him with a smirk.


"You...you little brat!! I gave you live, I gave you power...and you waste all of it for that little princess?!" Emerald growled as his eye twitched.


"You took my soul and put it in this body!! You gave me hell!!" Eclipse yelled "....but....thank you for doing it..." She said calmly.


"Hell?! I'll show you he- wait what??" Emerald was shocked.


The girls were as well shocked and were looking at her "....if you hadn't put me in this body and hadn't made me go through this hell, I don't think I would be this happy as I am now...I was at rock bottom back home, I had nothing in life anymore besides anger, I guess that's why it was so easy to get my soul, Nightmaremoon was angry too but she was just sad that no one appreciated her as much as Celestia".


"But we're not angry anymore...Twilights made me feel happy again she gave me the best Christmas present I could ever wish for..." Eclipse looked at Twilight smiling "she gave me a family...".


Twilight smiled and hugged Eclipse who hugged her back.


"What the hell is this Hearthswarming miracle crap?!" Emerald yelled.


"Dude ruining the moment..." Eclipse glared at him.


"I don't give a damn, I'm going to kill you!!!" Emerald ran at her.


Eclipse levitated him up with ease and slammed him against the ground "oh wow that was soo difficult..." She said sarcastically "dude I'm literally an alicorn your just a unicorn who's crazy".


Emerald just groaned.


Violet snickered "glad I came to watch this..." She started walking away.


"Wait your not gonna fight?" Eclipse asked confused.


"No I just wanted to see him get the crap best out of him, I got what I wanted" Violet smiled and walked away.


"That was easy" Eclipse said watching Violet walk away.


"Easy huh?" Emerald stood up "let me make it harder for you!" She shot green electricity into the sky and holes started ripping open, Purple Electricity sparked between the rifts, the biggest one in the sky was shooting out electricity.


 "Apparently when we brought you here, we ripped a whole between dimensions, nothing to big but now I've just ripped open hundreds!! Hahahahaha!!!" He laughed insanely as electricity sparked off his horn.


Eclipse shot a bolt of magic at his horn and it was blow off, she looked at the sky hoping that would close them but found it did not "damn it..."


Emerald stumbled back and put s hoof to his head, he found a broken stub where his horn was "m-my horn!! You broke it!!!!"


"Yeah thought it would fix the whole dimension ripping apart thing, guess not" Eclipse looked at the rips in the sky spreading together making larger ones.


"Hrrr I'll kill you!" Emerald tried to fire another spell but his horn sparked and released an explosion sending him flying through a rip.


"Well he's out of the way" Eclipse turned to the girls "we need to find everypony and get them away from all the rifts, you all stay clear of them too" Eclipse said and the girls nodded before cunning towards town "Twilight you and me need to try and close all the rifts".


"Alright that's going to be difficult but I think we can do it" Twilight smiled and they started running to different rifts forcing them closed, they were closing many of them but there were to many.


"We can't get all of them!" Eclipse yelled as she tried to force a rift closed.


"Then perhaps we cans help" Luna said and helped close it.


"Luna?? I'm sorry for what Nightmaremoon did to you..." Eclipse said looking away.


"I forgive you...I see you are not the mare who took part ver my body, I am as well sorry for causing you to run away..." Luna said sadly.


"I forgive you too, now let's close these rifts" Eclipse flew off to close more rifts, Luna did the same.


Celestial flew down over to Twilight "Twilight I am sorry for not listening to you, I made the foolish mistake in not listening again and once more it's caused darkness to take another, but it appears you were able to pull them back out of that darkness, well done" Celestia smiled.


"Thank your princess" Twilight smiled and they closed more rifts.


Applejack ran over "ok everyponys out of town and away from the rifts".


"Good but we still have that one to close" Celestia looked up at the large rift in the sky.


"It's going to those a lot to close that one..." Twilight said.


"Yes but it's also to dangerous to get close to, that lightening would hit anypony that gets close" Luna said.


"I'll do it..." Eclipse looking at it.


"What no! I just got you back I'm not going to loose you again!" Twilight pleaded.


Eclipse walked over and hugged Twilight "it's ok....I don't want to loose you or anypony else because of me".


Twilight sniffled and looked at her with tears in her eyes "please don't...".


"I'm sorry" Eclipse flew off into the sky towards the large rift.


Purple electricity shot at her but she was able to dodge them, she made magic shield to block the bolts of electricity as she flew closer to the rift.


A large bolt shot at her breaking her shields and hit her, she was sent falling but was able to recover, some of her fur was burned off and she was smoking "damn...I actually tasted that..." She flew back at it.


She dodged the boots shooting at her and she grabbed the edges of the large rift and tried pulling it together, a small rift opened next to her and a queen changeling with Violet hair and eye was in it, she was trying to close a rift as well.


Eclipse glanced at it before looking at the large rift she then looked back at the small rift, the Changeling Queen was looking back at her.


"Um...hi..." She said looking at her.


"Hey..." Eclipse replied.


"Soo...were you human before?" She asked.


"Yup...you?" Eclipse asked.


"Same" She said.


Eclipse chuckled lightly "life likes throwing curve balls I guess".


"Heh no kidding" she looked at the rifts "man I wish we could talk more...bet we'd be good friends huh?"


"Yeah we probably would" Eclipse smiled sadly before looking back at her rift as she started pulling it closed, it closed fully and Eclipse looked back at the large rift, she pulled the two sides of the rift together trying to close it "ngh...c'mon...close damn you!" She yelled and it finally closed.


"Hahaha yes!" Eclipse cheered, electricity then exploded hitting her and she was sent crashing down to the ground, she smashed to the ground making everything go black.


Eclipse was sitting at a table in a restaurant with her family, but she was still in her pony body, she looked around confused.


"You ok Andrew?" Her dad asked.


"Um yeah..yeah I'm fine...it's just...I missed you guys" Eclipse smiled sadly.


"You know we'll always be with you Andrew, and we'll always love you no matter what body your in" her mom kissed her in the head.


"Yeah bro" her little sister said smiling.


Eclipse hugged them all with tears in her eyes, she was smiling though "thank you...for everything you guys did, raising me, loving me, I'll never forget you and I'll never stop loving you all".


"Neither will we" they said as they hugged her back.


"Now it's time to wake up to your other family Andrew" her father said.


The worded darkened, light slowly peaked through as she opened her eyes weakly.


Eclipse groaned waking up, she saw a white ceiling, she turned her head and found she was in a hospital room, she saw Twilight sleeping on a chair next to the bed, her head was resting in the bed.


Eclipse let out a breath and looked back at the ceiling with a smile "I think I can get used to this world" she smiled and lightly shook Twilight.


Twilight woke up and yawned, she rubbed her eyes and looked around before looking at Eclipse her eyes then widened "Your awake!" She hugged her.


Eclipse winced and Twilight let go "sorry I just got excited".


"It's fine mom...just a little sore..." Eclipse sat up and hugged her and Twilight hugged her back gently.


Twilight smiled before pulling back and looked at Eclipse "d-did you just call me mom?...".


"Um...yes..." Eclipse got nervous.


"Why?..." Twilight asked.


"Well...you'v been taking care of me and teaching me things...I just felt you were like a mother to me..." Eclipse blushed and waited for her answer.


Twilight smiled and hugged her "I felt like a mom when I was with you".


Eclipse smiled and stayed in the hug.

Eclipse was was sitting in the library reading a book.


Twilight walked in "hey Eclipse me and the girls are gonna go and eat lunch, you wanna come with?"


"Yeah sure" Eclipse smiled and set her book down, she got up and walked with Twilight.


"So...do you still miss your old home?" Twilight asked.


"No not really, this place feels more like home now" Eclipse smiled.


Twilight smiled "I'm glad this place feels like a home to you" they got outside.


Eclipse looked up at the sky "Me too" she smiled.
