Rejected

CHAPTER 3: MARES

Luna prepared to rise the moon. She watched over the land as all the ponies galloped back to their homes. Luna felt a pang of envy deep in her chest like she had felt many times before. She felt that the ponies paid no attention or appreciated her night. However,Celestia on the other hoof was slowly setting the sun to make way for Luna's night.

"Let us go,Sister" said Celestia as she and her sister trotted into their royal bed chambers. Luna wasn't there to sleep but to visit ponie's dreams. She felt that tonight she would take a break as she flopped down on her bed removing her make up, crown and chest piece along with her shoes. She put them neatly in her closet with her magic. She sighed as she looked up at the ceiling. She felt jealousy of her sister. Ponies played and basked in her sunlight but in Luna's they tucked in and slept through her beautiful night. This will not go on! she thought as she frowned My night deserves to be appreciated! it was final she thought as a devilish smile formed across her face. She decided she WOULD visit dreams tonight she would make sweet nightmares before her rebellion. She put her makeup, chest piece crown and shoes back on with her magic. She looked at herself in the mirror. And gave a wicked smile as she cast a spell that opened up a vortex to the dreams. She stepped inside.

"Applejack" she said simply as she saw a flash of black and suddenly entered Applejack's dream.

"Howdy Princess!" Said Applejack in the dream as she tipped her hat.

"Hello" responded Luna as she looked at her surroundings. Apparently, she was in the apple family's barn. Winnona, A.J's dog was barking furiously at Luna.

Luna had a cruel thought as she made a timber wolf rage inside the barn.

Applejack quickly headed for her lasso "hold it off while I git ma' lasso!" Yelled Applejack.

But Luna made no intention of 'holding off' the wolf nor to cast a spell that waould make it stop. Luna heard a yelp and crunching of bones as she turned around to see Winnona being crushed in the Timber Wolf's powerful jaws.

Luna laughed cruelly as she traveled to the next dream. This was Soarin's dream. She looked around only to spot Soarin' and Spitfire kissing on a bench. She cleared her throat loudly as the two pegasi turned around to see Luna.

"Am I interrupting anything important?" She asked quickly.

Soarin' blushed as he nodded his head no.

Luna thought of something on how to make this pleasant dream a Nightmare. Light blub! she thought as she preformed a death spell to make Spitfire suddenly fall to the ground, dead.

Soarin' gasped "D-did you see that?!" He asked his eyes wide, tears forming.

Luna laughed cruelly as she cast a spell that made the dream vortex open up as it sucked her inside.

She landed on her bed. Celestia was knocking on her door. Luna opened it with her magic "What?" She asked.

"Dear sister, you have forgotten to lower the moon" said Celestia calmly.

Luna grinned smugly. "I'm not lowering the moon" she said.

Celestia frowned "but you must" she said trying to keep a calm voice.

Luna stood up from her bed as a frown appeared across her own face "the ponies bask and play in your sunlight while they sleep through my beautiful night!" She said sternly.

Celestia scowled "why are you doing this?!" She asked.

Luna frowned even more "I have been rejected my whole life! At school, at summer camp every where!" She established as she stomped her hoof like a filly that didn't get a cupcake.  "I have even been rejected by YOU AND ALL THE OTHER PONIES!!! THEY REJECT MY NIGHT!!" She yelled as her tone rose higher and higher.

Celestia frowned "lower the moon. Now, Luna" she said trying to sound calm once more.

Luna let out a evil laugh "I AM NOT LUNA!! FOR I AM NIGHTMARE MOON!!" She yelled cruelly as Celestia watched in horror as her sister was levitated in the air by a dark tornado and transformed into a black-coated mare with dragon like aqua eyes and purple makeup with dark blue armor.

"Luna!" Stammered Princess Celestia as she backed away slowly.

Nightmare moon stomped her hoof wich made the ground tremble like an earthquake was on its way. "I AM NIGHTMARE MOON!!!!!!" she yelled once more as she turned into blue ghostly dust and floated quickly out the door to torment Celestia's dear subjects.
