Chapter 1: Contemplating dark beginnings.

An MLP luna fancic By Joseph Martini.

Author's Notes: This little series is based on my favorite character in MLP, Luna. The series will be a series of One-Shots which are built like the show, but starring Luna. This series will feature shenanigans she pulls whilst trying to impress and win back her subjects. This first chapter will detail what she thinks of while alone, staring at her cration.

Without further ado, chapter 1: Contemplating dark beginnings.

It was 12 AM, Midnight, inside the royal castle of Canterlot. Everything and everypony that could be awake was asleep right now, all except one. Luna. The "Little Sister", the "Moon in the sky", "The other princess". She was not well known by the people in the courts, and quite frankly, she couldn't care more. All she wanted was for her creation to be seen by the people she loved so much. Or, at least, for those people to thanks her for giving them a blanket of darkness to sleep in.

That was what bothered her the most. Why couldn't they at least thank her for the moon to SLEEP under? Why had nopony noticed her creations? The last time Luna had these thoughts was a horrid time in her life. When she was nightmare moon. How on earth could she get her subjects to love her if all they saw was the inside of their eyelids? Why would they not sleep during Celestia's reign? She quickly dispelled these thoughts from her head and went to gazing at her glorious creation. The moon.

With all it's imperfections, the moon was her greatest pride, along with the nights themselves. She could see the dark clouds swirling over and around it, she could see the beautiful glow incandescently shining off of it. She knew every bump and curve. She had stood in every gap, everything there was hers. Crafted, molded, and then shined to perfection. And then there were the stars. The glorious stars. She used to doodle with them, leaving funny, beautiful, and heroic scenes to litter the sky. Each one not too bright, not to dull. But her thoughts were escaping her. It was now 4 AM, and within exactly two hours and thirty-four minutes, the sun would need to rise.

She then turned and went to the library, for within the hour, Luna's very favorite part of the day was about to unfold before her; her hour with Celestia, her beloved sister. The one who had forgiven her, the one who ponies sang praises of and dragons fear. The only one who understood her plight.

At 5 O' clock, as usual, Celestis would enter the library. It was 4:30, so Luna began to hatch a plan…. Something that would win her subjects back to her…. What if instead of trying to trap them, too keep them awake through an eternal night, she gave them reasons to stay up? She thought of the ways: she could throw a party (Her most obvious choice), she could get them involved in rearranging the stars, she could bring the moon during the day, she could plan a full 24 hour night (as oposed to forcing it on them). All these things seemed wonderful, but she needed her sisters attention. And speak of the devil, she walked in as soon as she was done thinking it.

"Hello, Luna." Her sister said, levitating two bowls. "I made your favorite, chocolate oats"

"Thank you, Celestia" Luna replied rather nobly "I was thinking of some plans."

"Go on…" Celestia said, eyeballing her sister.

"Well, I was thinking there were some peaceful ways to get our subjects to look on the moon," the younger sister started. "Maybe we could throw a party, maybe I could make some meteors fall, maybe we could get the subjects together and let them all rearrange the sta-"

"-Well, those are very good ideas, sister" Celestia interupted, "But how about we eat first?"

Luna nodded and continued to eat, most of the hour went by quickly, and they talked about luna's plans. It came time to raise the sun, and lower the moon, so Celestia led them back to the balcony their two bedrooms shared. "Ready, sister?" Celestia asked.

"Always" Luna responded.

And with that, they let the sun blot out the night, and luna collapsed. "The best way to start the morning" Celestia said while picking up Luna to take to her bed.

"And the best way to end the night"
