700 years stuck here

Luna sighed. ' Only 300 years to go, Luna.' Nightmare Moon the shadow pony said. Luna looked towards Earth. " I know. But there is nothing for thy to do here. It is just. " Luna stomped her hoof. " Plain" Another stomp. " BORING!" Her final stomp came down strongly, surprising Nightmare Moon. ' You'd think by now, you could've broken free with your power. But those Elements are the strongest things in the Universe, sadly. ' Nightmare Moon hissed.

Luna nodded. " I used to think that it would be a blessing to live on my glorious moon. But now it is a curse set upon me by my own sister, just because I wanted friends." Luna had finally regained her memory of what had happened before she turned into Nightmare Moon, but she only remembered bitterness and her sisters anger when Luna asked if she could keep the moon out.

Luna got up and winced.

' What?' Nightmare Moon asked, seeing Luna wince.

" Achy muscles. It's no fun to sleep on a rock. Literally." Luna said. ' Well that wouldn't have happened if your sister hadn't banished you here!' Nightmare Moon said, seizing her chance to turn Luna bitter and into Nightmare Moon again. " Yeah! I bet my sister doesn't even care about me right now! I bet she's having fun without me!" Luna cracked. Her sanity was gone. It had slowly went away over 700 years, and now it was finally all gone. Luna had snapped.

Luna got a hungry look on her eyes. " I'll get you, my dear TIA!" she said. " And let's hope 300 years will pass by sooner than it should." Luna hissed as she turned into Nightmare Moon.

Celestia looked up at her sisters beautiful moon in the sky, with the face of Nightmare Moon on it in craters. She set down her glass of water and cried. " Luna, why did I ever do this to you? I shouldn't have! I'm sorry! So sorry, sister!" Celestia bawled. She hugged Luna's favorite plushie of the moon that Celestia had given Luna all those years ago, when they were both fillies. Then Celestia quietly hummed a lullaby she used to sing Luna.

Celestia sang into the night, hoping Luna would hear her, somehow. She knew this was the part where Luna sang whenever they were getting prepared and Celestia was singing it. Celestia hugged the soft, velvet moon plushie. It smelled so much like Luna. She looked up at the moon again and started the song over again.
