The Lunar Change

Luna opened her eyes to see a very familiar place. The very place that made her cold and dark inside and out. She was on the moon, the place that was once her home due to her punishment. "Hello, Luna." Luna turned to see nightmare moon. "What do you want?" Luna asked bitterly. "It's not what I want, it's what you need." Nightmare says. "What?" Luna asked, slightly confused. "Luna it's been three years, and ponies still fear you!" Nightmare says, her voice slightly raised. "They just need more time!" Luna yelled in the same tone as nightmare. "Why can't you just see that we're just in the shadow of your own sister?!" Nightmare yelled, her voice laced with anger. "Nopony cares about you! Nopony ever has... Nopony ever will." Nightmare says in a softer tone. And with that said, Luna felt herself slip into consciousness.

Luna bolted awake and quickly looked at her surroundings. She was in her bedroom, and there was no sign nightmare moon anywhere. "Thank Celestia." she sighs in relief. She climbed out of bed and made her way towards the dining area.

Just as the doors open she gasps when she sees that she is not having breakfast alone with her sister. "Hello, Luna." Celestia says as her younger sister takes a seat. The Mane 6 each say their own hellos to the young princess, but Luna just smiles politely as she pokes her food around. "Luna? Is there something wrong?" Celestia asked in a voice of concern. Luna only replied with a "Hm" as she thinks about what Nightmare moon had said. Nightmare moon had been like a best friend to Luna, even though she was evil, they we're connected. "What if she was right?" Luna thought as she glanced at her sister. Luna, then, slid out her chair and made her way towards the door. Celestia, quickly, used her magic to close the door before Luna could even get a hoove out the door. "Luna, please speak to me. Tell me what is troubling you." Celestia pleaded. "No, sister! I can take care of myself! I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!" she said in her royal Canterlot voice. With that said she used her  magic to open the door and with great speed flew away, leaving a group of mares equally shocked.
