Hey! Hope you guys like Nightmare Moon. But if you don't, just remember that Princess Luna was once Nightmare Moon. Until now… MWAHAHAHAHA! Now you must read it, because you are curious to why I put that.

Princess Luna's P.O.V.
I pace around my bedroom. It is my first night back in the Canterlot Castle. It seems that Celestia has forgiven me, but something still doesn't feel right. Perhaps I must wash up before going back to the Dream Realm. But why should I? It's not like anypony has had any nightmares yet. I walk around my bed and look at the mirror upon the vanity. I jump back, startled at my reflection. Instead of seeing my regular self, Nightmare Moon has taken it.
"Luna, Luna. I thought you would never come to the mirror. Aren't you happy to see me?" she asks.
"Thou hast ruined our life! Why would we be happy to see you?" I yell in my Royal Canterlot voice.
"Well, if you aren't happy to see me, then you better get used to it. Did you really think that those ponies rid me of you? HA! I am still here. I will always be here. To haunt you, of course," she evilly cackles and cruelly smiles at me.
"But you have no control over me, Nightmare Moon. The ponies may not have rid you from me, but they have rid your ability to use me. You shall never hurt my subjects again!" I slam down my front hooves on the dresser.
"But are they your subjects or your sister's? You don't need them. They don't need you. Celestia can raise and lower the Moon whenever she wants, and besides, those ponies have always loved her more than you. So it won't matter if you leave them or not," she tells me. I want to contradict her, but I know that she is right. Why would anypony love me- the Princess of the Night? What have I done to compel that love? I have shroud the land in eternal darkness, not Nightmare Moon. For she is me, and I am her.
"You are right, Nightmare Moon. They do not need me. And neither does Celestia. But I can not leave them. Where would I go?"
"Back to the Moon, Luna! Back to the Moon! You can build a new kingdom there! Make Moon ponies! They will heed to our command. Just give the word and I can make that happen." She stares at me and tries to persuade me into doing so.
"And why should I listen to you?" I question.
"Because I am the only pony you can trust. Remember- I am you, and you are me. We are equal. Now good night, Luna. And may it last forever." With that, she disappears, my real reflection taking back its place. But is it my true reflection? Or is it Nightmare Moon? I trot back to my bed and lie down, thinking of her words. She is right- she will always be with me. And nopony will ever love me.
NOOO! Luna, we all love you! Review if you love Luna and if Nightmare Moon was lying to her.
