Tonight was the night Luna find the children of the night. Princess Luna put on her coat and her saddlebag that was filled with food, she checked if Celestia was sleeping or not. And when she saw Celestia was fast asleep she went to the empty streets of Canterlot, she followed where the moonlight was pointing at. The first stop was a colt, he was sleeping under the bridge with nopony. It made Luna's heart break to see the colt, he was a unicorn and he was really skinny.

Luna shook the colt until he's awake, and when the colt saw Luna he gasped and smiled weakly. He tried to stand up but he was too weak to do so, for he haven't ate for the past few days. Luna smiled and said "Hello little one, would you like some food?" the volt, aware of what Luna had said nodded his head frantically and smiled. Luna opened her saddlebag and took some sugar cubes and gave it to the colt.

The colt ate the sugar cubes little by little for he wanted to enjoy the sugar cubes. And after he finished eating he felt rather quite full, then he looked at Princess Luna and hugged her. Princess Luna was shocked but then she hugged him back, after they hugged Luna looked at the colt and said "My little pony, come with me and fly with me.", the colt shook his head and said "But I don't have any wings like a pegasus does!" with that statement Princess Luna smiled and put gave the colt some magical dust that could make him fly.

Princess Luna then find each and one of the other fillies and colts, they flew with Luna in the night sky and smiled. They all flew in the air and followed the moonlight, she felt a slight tap on her right shoulder and saw her parents. She smiled and flew with the children of the night and her parents, after what seemed like awhile they all landed on the old castle. Before the nightmare moon incident, looking back at the old castle Luna felt a pang of guilty. Because of her the castle was really really destroyed, but that was the past.

The dawn was almost to rise, Luna gave the children at the hooves of her parents. She flied back to the castle and spotted Celestia eating breakfast already, Luna approached her and said "Aren't you going to raise the sun?" Celestia looked at her with a pale face "How could I raise the sun if you were gone? Where were you? Don't you know I can't raise the moon again now you're here?", Luna started to think of a thousand of reasons. As Luna was about to speak Celestia jumps in and said "It's alright, as long as you're far out of trouble it'll be fine. Now make way for the sun please?", Luna sighed and lowered her glorious moon and stars. She can slowly see the sun peeking out of the meadows, and it calls that it was time for her to take a goodmorning sleep.
