Hello, everypony! So glad I was able to get a chapter up so soon! I hope you like it! I've decided to be a little nice to my OCs before the drama begins to unfold and alleviate their fears of Nightmare Moon and Sombra.

Guitar Riff

I was honestly surprised that Dischord was reformed, and I was genuinely happy that my sister and I were finally finding somewhere where we could be happy instead of fearful and sad.

Twilight said, "Well, I better show you guys where you will be going to stay during your time here. I'm not about to let you guys go somewhere where your parents can find you and make your lives worse!"

Starlight chimed in, "I can help you with your wagon! I've got a bit of magic to help me out, although I now realize that you guys.. do.. too..." She then hung her head and crossed her legs in shame for her boasting.

Twilight put her wing on Starlight, saying, "It's okay, Starlight. You're still learning, and that's okay. I was once, too, and now these two ponies will learn, too."

"What do you mean?" Singing asked.

"I think you two should learn about what everypony in Equestria has learned all their lives: harmony and hope, happiness and light. It seems that you know little of any of that," she explained, and I felt embarrassed that she could practically see right through me.

"Maybe they can also send letters to Princess Celestia about their village so she could help everypony out!" Pinkie chimed in cheerfully.

Suddenly, a book that was seemingly random on the bookshelf began to glow and vibrate, and Twilight took it out using magic and opened it up. She read it and smiled slightly, then looked worried, then went back to normal. Then she got excited and began to jump around gleefully.

Pinkie asked, "Your friends from Canterlot High invite you to something special?"

"Yes! They've invited me to the big concert they are having tomorrow, and they asked me to join them in the concert!" Twilight replied happily.

"Excuse me, but what is Canterlot High?" Singing asked. "I've never heard of such a place in Equestria."

"That's because it's not IN Equestria," Twilight explained. "It's in an alternate world, and I had to go there once because somepony had stolen my crown and Element of Harmony and wanted to use its magic for evil in that world. I was able to stop her, and she is now a long-distance student of mine. I went there another time because some evil Equestrian monsters were causing havoc in that world, and I was called again to help with something that got resolved before I finally got there."

Starlight looked even more embarrassed at the last comment, and I began to wonder what had happened to make Twilight appear there so late. I pushed the thought out of my mind as a messenger pegasus flew in and gave Twilight a letter. She read it and simply nodded, then called out, "Spike!"

A purple baby dragon with green spines and eyes ran in and asked, "What is it, Twilight?"

"Make preparations to go to Canterlot in three days. I have business to attend to before then, but we all need to be there by the end of the week. It's about the Crystal Empire and Flurry Heart," Twilight explained to Spike, who I assumed was the dragon.

I then became even more frightened, as the Crystal Empire existing meant that Sombra was possibly back.

Twilight saw my frightened expression that I shared with Singing, and reassured us, "It's okay, Guitar. Sombra's no more. He's not a danger to Equestria any more. You can rest in peace, pony friends."

Singing visibly relaxed, and I relaxed a little, too, but there was still one pony I worried about more than anypony: Nightmare Moon. What if the thousand years were over soon?

"What about Nightmare Moon?!" I then shouted out of tension and fear, not caring what my tone sounded like.

"Guitar..." Singing whispered carefully, like she would whenever I talked that way to Serene.

"It's all right, girls," Twilight said, her smile warm. "You already know Luna. Nightmare Moon is gone from her."

"Wait a minute," I said, stepping forward, pulling the wagon still hitched to me forward. "Princess Luna was Nightmare Moon?"

"Yes, I was," a familiar voice said sadly, and Singing and I turned our heads towards the door, seeing Princess Luna in all her nightly splendor standing in the doorway. "I still remember it so clearly, and I didn't forgive myself for so long afterwards that, at the time, I was unhappy like you were. I was jealous of the admiration that my sister and her sunlight got, and angry at how the ponies of Equestria would shun me and my beautiful night. I let my jealousy take me over, and I turned into Nightmare Moon. My sister banished me to the moon for a thousand years. I was freed after they were over, and Twilight and her friends all helped me defeat Nightmare Moon using the Elements of Harmony. They also helped me to overcome my shyness and the other ponies to no longer fear me. I became the guardian of nighttime and dreams. I now help everypony in every way that I can."

Starlight finally unhitched Singing and I from the wagon, and we ran to Luna and gave her a huge hug, as we considered her more of a mother than Serene ever was.

I pulled back enough to ask, "So Nightmare Moon really won't come to eat all the fillies? Or Sombra to destroy us all? Or Dischord to ruin our lives?"

"That's correct, my little ponies," Luna said, a smile on her face. "I have spoken to my sister about your escape from your hellish village, and she has called a Princess Summit, including the Elements of Harmony, to discuss how we are to deal with this threat to harmony in Equestria."

"How could one little village change an entire kingdom?" Singing asked.

Starlight was the one who answered, "Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. At my old village, I forced everyone to give up their Cutie Marks and have an equal sign as their Cutie Mark and be the same. Twilight and her friends all saw that what I was doing was wrong, and, although I reviled them at the time for it, they helped me to see the error of my ways. I am now Twilight's student, learning about the Magic of Friendship."

"I believe that, more than anypony else that I know, she can teach you about what you need to know," Luna told us with warmth in her voice. "Now I must go off to rest, myself. I can't protect dreams in my sleep, after all!"

She then flew off towards the north, and Twilight said to us, "You must be hungry from your journey. I'll -"

Pinkie cried out, "SAY NO MORE!" and ran off from the library.

"What's going on?" I asked while Starlight began carefully levitating the wagon and easing it out of the door.

"Pinkie's making you breakfast, although don't be surprised if she makes you cake!" Twilight said with a smile.

I winced, remembering what Serene did whenever she said she'd "make us cake": she'd take us and tell the unicorns to throw us to the sharpest drop in the area, which had a field of jagged rocks at the bottom.

Twilight saw it and said, "Don't worry, it's actual cake! Pinkie would never do anything to harm anypony! Now Starlight will show you your room. I hope that you both find it comfortable!"

We followed Starlight to a bedroom larger than any we'd ever seen in our lives, with two beds with canopies, a balcony, bookshelves, and plenty of room to set up our instruments around the room, with our performance gear on the balcony. I remembered the performance that Singing and I were planning to help the fillies cheer up, and I felt horrible for leaving them without any chance of hope.

Singing saw my guilty expression and said, "I can tell you're feeling guilty about leaving now, Guitar, but don't worry! We're going to see Princess Celestia, and she can help us to save the fillies in our village!"

I smiled, knowing that it would do more good where we are than where we once were.

I hope that you have some feedback on the chapter! I realized that I had a few grammatical errors in the last chapter or two that I can't fix right now, so I'll wait until the story's complete (however long that takes).

Please review!
