Dear Diary...

Dear Diary,

My name is Luna. I think that you already know that because, you know, I am writing this diary. I shall be keeping all of my deepest secrets in here. Everything. I shall unload everything. I shall be... Ugh. I don't know what I'm doing! I'm only 5 and I haven't even gotten my cutie mark yet. Tia has her cutie mark - it's a sun. It's beautiful. But look at me. I'm a poor blank flank. Buck up, Luna! You'll be getting your cutie mark soon. I should just really stop writing right now because... because...

First entry

Dear Diary,

My parents died today. It was horrible. It just happened. I didn't know that it would happen. I didn't want it to happen. And now I'm just rambling...

I'm trying to remember all of the good times I had with them. When they took Tia and I to the park, and I accidentally flew off the swing and landed on mom's head.

Or the time when I had the blue flu, and dad cared for me. I got better really fast.

I really do miss them. But I must try to forget. I mean, I have royal duties to do. For example, raising the moon. I am the lunar princess after all. Tia is going to raise the moon tonight, but I've got to practice my magic.

Luna

2nd entry

Dear Diary,

I practiced my magic last night. Tonight is the first night that I shall be raising the moon. I'm really excited, yet I'm nervous at the same time. I wonder what it'll be like. Maybe I'll get my cutie mark, just like Tia got hers when she first raised the sun.

Sorry that I don't have any more to write right now. I've got to go practice, but I'll write later. I promise.

It was AMAZING! I raised the moon AND got my cutie mark! Tia did the stars tonight, but I'm just glad that I raised the moon. It was so fun! Tia was so proud of me, and I am so proud of myself. I bet my parents would be proud of me too. I wish they were still here to see my accomplishments, but I guess that you can't have everything.

Well, anyways, goodnight diary. I promise to work on my magic and I'll write in you tomorrow.

4th entry

Dear Diary,

I have a crown now. I feel completely awesome. I feel like I'm better than Tia. I mean, I love Tia, but I just wish that I was more powerful than her. Anyways, today was April Fools day. I hate today SO much. My coat is bright pink now and you can't see my cutie mark. Tia put some pink hair dye in my shampoo bottle. That little ***** . Sorry diary, I just don't want to write cuss words in here. My parents and Tia told me that they were wrong.

I have this bowl of candy next to my bed, and guess what Tia did? She replaced all of my candy with super spicy candy. She knows how much I hate spicy food (and candy, for that matter). I know she did it on purpose. Was she doing it to be mean? I honestly don't know, but I am going to get her back. Someday. ~~For all of the things she did to me.~~

I didn't mean it like that! I'm so sorry, diary! But I can't erase it! Ugh, I'll just have to do with crossing it out. Tia never really did any bad things to me. What has gotten in to me, anyways? I seem like a different pony. But it's not like any pony is going to read this, so I guess that I am safe. It IS my secret diary, after all.

5th entry

~~I still feel so horrible talking about Tia the way I did yesterday. Wait, I forgot to write Dear Diary!~~

Dear Diary,

I still feel so horrible talking about Tia the way I did yesterday. I mean, I guess I was a little jealous. I feel REALLY bad about it. Please please PLEASE make sure that Tia does not look at this diary, diary.

But I have been working on my magic lately. I can finally teleport! Tia said that it was super rare for a foal my age to be able to do that. She said I had "natural born talent". Yay! I'm hoping to learn to write a few spells of my moon. Maybe the first one will be to get rid of my jealousy of my sister. I love Tia! How could I EVER be jealous of her? It's against everything she's taught me. I just really need to lie down. I have a headache.

6th entry

Dear Diary,

Tia took me to the park today. We had so much fun! I practiced my flying. Tia said that I'm getting really good at it!

I'm proud of myself. I realize that I might be a little self-indulgent. But who cares? It's not like any pony's gonna know, because they're not gonna read this diary. I, Luna, am self-indulgent! It feels so good to write it out on paper. That way I can get out all of my emotions and all of that icky stuff.

~~I, Luna, am jealous of my sister, Tia. I want to be stronger than her.~~

7th entry

Dear Diary,

I am officially awesome! I can do so many kinds of magic now! You know what? I'm gonna go trick Tia! It's gonna go like this...

Plan
1. Sneak into her room.
2. Put forest green dye in her shampoo bottle
3. leave

Yeah - the pink dye STILL has not washed out yet. But just you wait, diary! She's gonna be green while I'll be pink!

It is the PERFECT plan! And it's not even April Fools day! It's AWESOME!

I'll write what happens later, diary. Bye for now.

It was AWESOME! I mean, Tia is pretty mad at me right now, but who cares? I got my revenge! ~~Sweet Celestia!~~ I realized I just used Tia's name. Celestia. I think Luna is better. Goodnight for now, diary.

8th entry

Dear Diary,

Can you believe that it's only been just a few days since I got my cutie mark and I am already starting to look so much older? My birthday is tomorrow - I'll be 6 then! I'm so excited! Look out, Tia! I'm coming for you!

I'm taller, and I don't look like a filly anymore. Well, I still look like a filly, but not like totally.

So, today, Tia helped me learn more magic. I can do age spells now! Tia said that she could not do age spells when she was 5. Maybe I will be stronger than her.

Stop it, Luna! You need to stop thinking those thoughts about Tia! You LOVE Tia! She's your big sis! Ugh. Sorry that you have to listen to all of this, diary. I need to stop arguing with myself. Maybe I'll be able to convince Tia to do a diary with me. The title will be...

The Diary of the Ancient Pony Sisters.

9th entry

Dear Diary,

YAY! TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! And guess what else? Tia agreed to do a diary together! The diary of the ancient pony sisters is on its way! Woohoo!

I cannot wait for my birthday party! Tia is gonna throw the BEST party! She always does! I can still remember my grand 1st birthday party. And the 2nd. And the 3rd, 4th, and 5th. They were so awesome!

Sorry that I've got to stop writing right now, diary. I need to go eat breakfast. Tia made my favorite! Again! (Remember, diary, that it is a carrot and daisy sandwich) And my birthday party is soon! Bye!

I am finally 6 years old! Yes! Woohoo! ~~Sweet Celestia! Celestia, I wrote it again!~~ And again. What is up with me saying Sweet Celestia? I guess I tend to say that when I am excited. I hope that Tia never finds out.

Tia had a pinata, pin the tail on the pony (my favorite game, by the way) and more! And another great thing is that the pink dye came out of my coat! So right now I am my normal color and Tia is GREEN! Ha! So funny.

Good times. Good times.

10th entry

Dear Diary,

Tia STILL can't get the green dye out of her coat. I finally had to apologize. I hope that it wasn't permanent.

You know what, Diary? I don't care that I talk to you. I don't care that you are an inanimate object. I just don't care. I love you because I can unleash all of my emotions and EVERYTHING.

For example, this.

I am still jealous of Tia.

12th entry

Dear Diary,

All of that foreign magic seems to be growing stronger. But again, Tia STILL does not believe me. I'm getting even more worried.

I am as tall as Tia now. Just a couple of days ago, I was a filly and I didn't have a cutie mark. But now look at me! My mane is all wavy like Tia's now! YAY!

I am making a garden outside of the castle. I am going to grow all kinds of rare and exotic plants. I can't wait to get started!

I have decided to raise some of the stars in sort of a pattern. I am calling them constellations. I have one done - I call it pegasus. That's because it is a pegasus! Diary, if you ever go outside, look for the pegasus in the sky.

Author's Note

Did you know that Luna created constellations?

13th entry

Dear Diary,

There's this - Thing on the loose. It's part pony and part a million other things. I named it Discord.

This Discord guy took over. I told Tia that Discord was the foreign magic that I was feeling. She said that she was sorry for not believing me and that she'll trust what I say. Let's see how long she keeps that promise.

Tia told me about some mystical objects called the Elements of Harmony. She said that they are the only way that we can defeat Discord. I guess that they are found on the Tree of Harmony, whatever that is.

Tia is taking charge. But I'm strong enough to help, too. She just thinks that I am too little. I look like an adult pony right now! Why can't she just trust me?

Diary, I'll keep you updated on this whole Discord thing. Bye for now.

14th entry

Dear Diary,

Tia said that we need to find the Tree of Harmony as soon as possible. Here's what I was thinking: Yeah, Celestia, I know that already. Tia thinks that I'm still a baby. But I'm not. I could possibly be more intelligent than her. There. I spelled intelligent right. :)

She needs to buck off sometimes. I am trying to concentrate my powers to locate the Tree of Harmony where the Elements of Harmony are. It's hard. It just must be easier to detect evil than it is to detect good.

Bye for now. I need to concentrate.

15th entry

Dear Diary,

I FOUND IT! THE TREE OF HARMONY! SO AWESOME! HUZZAH!

Sorry about that, diary. Didn't mean to yell. I'm just so excited! I was able to find the Tree of Harmony whereas Tia could NOT. Huzzah!

But of course, TIA said that SHE is going to use the Elements of Harmony to defeat this Discord guy. Of course, I am not allowed to use them. Tia thinks she is so much stronger than me. Why, Tia? WHY? WHY do you have to be in charge of EVERYTHING?

I'm sorry, diary, for just complaining about Tia. It's not right. She's my sister, and I love her.

See you later, diary.

16th entry

Dear Diary,

We defeated Discord. Tia and I. It was pretty epic! Now Equestria is back to how it was before. Ponies are still cleaning up the mess that Discord made, but other than that, everything is normal.

I thought that defeating Discord with Tia would bring us closer together, but I didn't. I feel more jealous than ever.

But enough about that. Guess what I found out? I can raise the moon even when Celestia hasn't even lowered the sun yet! Wait, did I just write CELESTIA? I mean Tia! I'm sorry, diary.

I'm going to go raise the moon right now and catch up on some sleep. I have spent the last few nights flying around in the night. Goodnight, diary.

17th entry

Dear Diary,

GEUSSWHATGUESSWHATGUESSWHAT

I, Princess Luna, the Princess of the Night, got to touch the element of magic.

Yeah, yeah, I know, diary. It isn't very exciting. But to me it is! Huzzah! Tia did not let me touch it before, but i got to touch it today! Yay!

Tia keeps talking about the defeat of Discord. I keep saying, 'I know, I know.' Tia is kinda obsessed with it. It is getting SUPER ANNOYING.

That's all for today. Tomorrow, I am going to go through the Everfree Forest on an adventure and actually try to find something interesting to write about. Diary, you probably get bored with all of my complaints and everything. You want juicy info, and I am going to give it to you.

Good night for now, diary!

Author's Note

Yeah, it's true. Next chapter is going to be WAY more interesting.

Luna: That's what I said!

I know Luna, I know.

Luna: Hey, how come you're reading my diary in the first place????

Uhh... Guys, I don't know how to get out of this one.

3rd entry

Author's Note

In this entry, Luna is showing the first hints of her being jealous - the first hints of the nightmare moon inside of her.

3rd entry

Dear Diary,

You know how I got my cutie mark yesterday? Well, today Tia says that I have grown a little. She says that I am starting to look more like a teenager pony. I can't wait until I'm taller and more powerful, like Tia.

Today for breakfast, Tia made my favorite dish - a carrot and daisy sandwich. I cried a little bit after I ate the first bite just because Tia made it exactly how mom used to make it. Mom would teach Tia how to cook, and I'm glad that she did.

I raised the stars yesterday, and today I'll be taking on the duties of the night on my own. I can't wait! Being the lunar princess is amazing. Me - Princess Luna.

But I wish that I was older than Tia. I mean, she has a lot more power than me. Maybe when I get older I'll get stronger than her and I'll be number 1. I've got to work towards that.

11th entry

Dear Diary,

I helped Tia wash the green dye out of her coat. I felt bad about what I wrote yesterday.

I just don't know what to do. My jealousy is taking hold of me, even when I don't WANT to be jealous of Tia. I love her. But something inside of me is just... ugh.

I am growing so much taller. I don't even look like a filly anymore! Tia said that it happens to fillies and colts when they turn 6. They get taller, their wings grow, and they look so much older in just a few days. I look pretty much exactly like Tia now, except I'm a little bit smaller.

Rainbow Gem is making some tapestries for Tia and I. Rainbow Gem is a fashion designer. Her coat is white while her main is a rainbow. She comes from the crystal empire, so her coat is all crystally-looking. She did mine first, and I think it's beautiful.

But something seems amiss in Equestria. I told Tia that I feel a sort of foreign magic coming from somewhere, but she doesn't believe me. I think it could be something bad. Maybe I just have better senses than Tia?

It just feels really weird. I'm kinda getting creeped out, and I don't want it to go on any longer. I wasn't listening during my magic lesson with Tia today because I was focusing on the magic I am feeling. I'm worried. Really worried.
