Fly away with me

There was a creak and then a pony rose from her bed. Her slumber was long and she waited for something to bring her out of her grumpy mood. She pulled her hoof back, and scratched her head. How could she be awake on a night like this? Tomorrow was the wedding. Tomorrow would decide her fate.

She looked in the mirror. A black mare with a shinning starry mane smiled at her, her armor shining in the moonlight. She sighed. It would be ok. It would be ok...

She would be with her.

With her...

Nightmare moon's heart fluttered at the thought. No- she could never sleep on a night like this. And that didn't matter. She needed to see her. They needed to be together. Nightmare moon needed to ask her the question. A question she had been wondering for a very long time. She spread her wings and, without warning, flew outside. Her dear sister would not mind if she was out in her eternal night for a short while. Besides, this was important.

Nightmare moon's wings rose and fell as she gracefully flew through the trees to a house in the clouds. "More like a castle." She thought. "A castle that holds a very beautiful princess." She gulped and sighed. Even after Gilda's proposal, she was still nervous to see her. She knocked three times on the door. Then twice.

Then four times.

And before she could finish the fourth knock, the door opened quickly.

"Oh- Nightmare...." A gilda with shining brown feathers said, blushing a bit. "I wasn't....expecting..."

Nightmare moon only stared into her eyes. Her beautiful yellow eyes....

"I have to ask you," she started. stepping inside,

"Do you truly believe in my night?"
