Nightmare Free Equestria

"Three... Two... One..."

Discord gave a snap of his fingers.

Princess Luna appeared in a puff of smoke, blinking as she tried to regain her senses. She was back on her balcony, standing right outside her room, with Discord beside her. The moon, the stars, the city below, all looked just as she did when she had left. Her body was also as it had been when she had left. She looked as she normally did as opposed to the larger black form, all the aches were gone, and there was no sign of a burn on her backside.

"So," Discord asked, "how was it? Did wittle Wuna enjoy seeing all the things she would have done if she had not become the big bad Nightmare Moon?"

"No," Luna responded. "We found the trip to be a rather depressing disappointment." She moved over and gave Discord a kiss on the cheek. "You have our gratitude."

"...what?" Discord blinked, staring at Luna. He brought his paw up to his cheek, touching the spot where her lips had touched.

"We..." Luna stopped. "No. I did not enjoy what I saw there, yet it made me realize something." She started to walk toward the doors. "For too long have I been thinking about the past and what I could have done had I not gone insane. But the past is just that, passed. It is time that I begin looking toward and considering the future." Her horn glowed gently as she opened the door.

"Where are you going?" Discord asked. "It's the middle of the night. Most of the ponies here are asleep."

"I have much to do," Luna replied with a smile. "First, I shall go through the budgets and see if we can find financing to explore the capability of aerial transportation. In the morning, I shall go to the kitchen to meet the staff and assist in making a special breakfast for my sister and I. During that, I will speak to her about creating a holiday in your honor."

"What?" Discord shouted. "A holiday? For me? Why would you even think of a thing like that?"

"If you are truly reformed, then you deserve to be rewarded." She gave him a grin. "I can think of no better than a day where ponies attempt to prank each other."

Discord's jaw fell open and eyes went wide as he stared at Princess Luna, not believing what he was hearing.

"After breakfast," Luna continued, "I will begin searching for a therapist to help me come to terms with matters and heal some old emotional wounds. Once that is done... I am uncertain of what I will do next. However, it shall be an attempt to make up for all I have missed out on, including having 'fun.'" With that she pranced into the castle, humming, and shut the door behind her.

Discord continued to stand there, staring for a moment. His mind slowly tried to process what he had seen and heard. Slowly he regained his senses, reaching up a paw to rub at the beard on his chin.

"Hm," he thought aloud, "I might have to send ponies to other dimensions more often. Who knows what else they might give me."
