Rainbow Dash has a horrible nightmare... or does she?

Recently, Sweetie Belle has noticed her teacher's been a little off. Rapidly changing voice, glowing eyes, and the occasional giggling have all been appearing in class with increasing frequency. When Sweetie goes to school today, however, everything will be fine.

Everything.

Just a ridiculous story I'm writing to break my writer's block.

It is two weeks after Princess Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon and her subsequent banishment, and Princess Celestia isn't doing so well. Her actions weigh heavily upon her, and every day she sinks deeper and deeper into her sadness and regrets. The worst part for her, however, is the loneliness. Her sister was the only one who understood her, and without her constant presence the Solar Princess is beginning to lose her hold on reality. In the midst of all this, Celestia decides to do the unthinkable.

Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with her...but isn't love the most powerful type of magic?
