A response to ninjafreak0131's Lullaby For A Prince, she did Leo and I was inspired to do Raphie's part of the lullaby, so here it is, Raphie's Reply. The intro and the snippet after it belong to ninjafreak0131 but from Raphie's point of view, the story is mine. I do not own TMNT, MLP, Leo and Raph. I own the parody and my TMNT OC Sakura.

Once upon a time,

In a magical land called Equestria.

There lived two princes.

One who rose the sun

And the other who rose the moon.

Together, they created peace and balance throughout their kingdom.

But one day, the younger one became jealous,

For the ponies played and frolicked in his brother's day

While they slept and dreamed through his beautiful night.

He refused to lower the moon.

The eldest tried to reason with him

But the younger one unleashed a dark power within him,

Creating a dangerous colt name: Nightmare Moon.

He vowed to shred the land in eternal night,

Never letting anyone see the sun again.

...

"Raph!" Leo begged his younger brother. "Listen to reason! You don't have to do this!"

Raphael gave a loud cackle and smiled towards his older brother.

"Dear, dear brother..." He taunted, circling him like a tiger ready to catch his prey. "So naive... Always believing in the goodness of others..."

He stopped and glared.

"That's what makes you weak!"

He shot a dark red beam at Leonardo who stood their, frozen.

Leo fell to the floor with a loud thud.

"Finally... I have won!" Raph exclaimed with another maniacal laugh.

Leo sighed in defeat, quickly, he glanced at same table behind his brother.

He barely managed it but he stood up, using all of his energy.

"Oh? Ready for round two Leo?" Raph smirked.

Using the magic that he had left, Leo levitated the Elements of Harmony towards him as he shot a bright blue beam at Raphael.

"What?!" Raph screamed. "Nooooo!"

Instantly, he was teleported to the moon, Leo swallowed and let a tear slide down his cheek.

"Forgive me, dear brother... I am truly sorry..."

Raphie's P.O.V

"I never should have done this." I muttered as I looked down upon Equestria from my prison on the moon, a single tear sliding down my cheek.

"Please brother, why can't you take me back. Please..."

I sat down and I started to cry. 'I was so stupid.' I thought to myself. 'Leo loved me so much but all I did was hurt him and make him cry. I nearly severed our bond as brothers... I don't deserve to have him as my older brother... I don't deserve to be the Lunar Prince...'

I was knocked out of my guilty thoughts by the sound of a familiar voice.

"Leo?" I asked.

He was singing.

He was singing a lullaby for me. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat when I realized that he was crying, from the pain from sending me away or the pain from loneliness, I didn't know.

All that I knew what's that my brother missed me.

8 years after the sealing of Raphie on the moon...

Leo had been singing that lullaby for the past four years, every day that he set his sun and raised my moon, he would sing that lullaby. I heard him and tried to convey that I did and I knew that he understood that I did because the next few lullabies seemed to be a bit more happier but today's lullaby was the saddest.

I wanted to do something about it but I couldn't because I was trapped on the moon due to my stupid actions but then I had an idea.

If I could hear Leo's voice when he was singing me that lullaby then could he hear me if I sang him a lullaby of my own?

That night, I decided to create my own lullaby for the next night.

...

I took a deep breath as the next night arrived, Leo had just finished singing my lullaby and I knew that it was my turn.

"How my deeds pain me as time stretches long." I began.

"How could I have hurt them this way?

So rest easy now, the punishment's mine

The weight of my crimes are my own.

But into that stillness you brought me a song

With your voice my company kept

For your tried eyes and sweet lullabies

In exile I pay you my debt..."

I sighed as I remembered my descent into madness, when I let the nightmare take over me, the look on Leo's face when I hurt him.

I took a deep breath and I began to sing again.

"Once did a colt who gleamed like the moon

Look out on his kingdom and sigh

Dejected he cried, "Surely their is no pony

"Who loves me, or finds any love in my night."

So great was his pain, he rose in rebellion

Against those who cared for him the most

He let the Nightmare fall on those he ruled

And threatened to grip them in permanent cold.

Lullay, dear Leo, good night brother mine

Rest now in starlight's embrace

May this cool lullaby reach you in dreams

And ease you your passage of days

May my apologies find you this night

And may my sorrow in kind

Leo, you loved me so much more than I knew

Forgive me for being so blind.

Soon did his brother do what was demanded

And gave to the Moonlight his due

Breaking the Harmony, he saved his ponies

And banished him, as a wise ruler must do.

Such is the weight of the crown that we wear, brother,

Duties we always uphold;

May you forgive me that foolishness mine

And live on with no burden upon your soul.

Lullay, dear Leo, good night brother mine

Rest now in starlight's embrace

May this cool lullaby reach you in dreams

And ease you your passage of days

May my apologies find you this night

And may my sorrow in kind

Leo, you loved me much more than I knew

May troubles be far from your mind

And forgive me for being so blind."

I muffled the sob that was threatening to escape from my throat as I remembered my childhood, when Leo and I were the best of friends. We hardly fought over anything and we protected each other but as we grew up we drifted apart and fought over anything and everything possible.

But I still sang on.

"The space now before us, empty and forlorn

I never imagined we'd face them all alone

May these sunless seasons swiftly pass, I pray

I love you, I miss you, all these miles away.

May all your dreams be sweet tonight

Safe upon that bed above the lights

And know not of heartache, fear, nor gloom

And when I dream, I'll fly away to meet you soon

Sleep, sleep

Sleep…"

I let out a painful scream of agony and regret, my tears streaming down my cheeks but on the cold moon, anybody but me could hear it.

"I'm so sorry!" I screamed. "LEO! Please forgive me for being so blind, brother! PLEASE!"

I looked at Equestria and I saw a tiny blue flash come from the area that Canterlot was in and I knew.

Leo had heard me.

Leo smiled as he heard the soft voice of his younger brother as he sang. "I miss you Otouto." He muttered. And I can't wait for the day that we'll be together again."

"I know Oniichan." He heard Raph say. "I'll wait for that day. The day when we'll be together again.

I promise..."

Yeah, I had to fight with my tears as I wrote this, it's so sad, anyway, I got the idea after I had read ninjafreak0131's Lullaby For A Prince, my TMNT OC Sakura demanded that I write Raphie's version of Luna's reply and threatened to leak false information to her brothers that I was writing a death fic for them and I read in other stories that Leo and Raphie don't like authors that wrote death fics and that they try to get rid of them if I didn't do it... *Shudders* ...and I like being alive ok?

*Grins* And I think that I know how to get my revenge on her now.
