I can't believe this, I can't believe that I'm stuck here. Stuck on the same moon I used to raise every night. More importantly, I can't believe what I've done, er, tried to do. Maybe I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, hello... me? I'm Princess Luna, the princess of the night. At least I was until just about a month ago. I'm writing this to myself, since I'm sure I'll be stuck here for an eternity, really, I deserve it. If I'm going to be on the moon forever, I might as well write down my experiences so that I can remember everything I've gone through. If I forget something as the years go by, I can just revisit this! Though, seeing that you're me, I'm sure you already know that.

Let's start from the very beginning, the day I was born. I was born on a-... actually, I don't know when I was born. Not that surprising, when you've lived for eons and eons, time seems to stop mattering. The only time when Celestia or I would ever care about time would be if we have an appointment. Now, on the moon, who am I going to have an appointment with, rock #2010? Anyways, I was born on October 22, don't know the year or time, though.

Since day one, I was meant to be the princess of the night. My mother would train me to one day raise the moon, while my sister, Celestia, was being trained to raise the sun by our father. Naturally, I didn't see our father often. I slept during the day and he slept during the night, so we were rarely up at the same time. And for our mother, she was always more of a teacher to me than an actual mom. I also had little to no friends, I always knew that I would outlive them, so I didn't want to be too close to them. I don't recommend it. Celestia, on the other hoof, was a completely different story.

She was very close to a lot of the citizens of Equestria, especially our parents. That was probably why she was always a lot happier than I was.

Remember when I said, "little to no friends"? Well, that was partially a lie. I did have one friend, a friend that I had throughout my entire life. Just thinking about her makes me incredibly sad, imagining how she must feel like with me now being on the moon. Her name is Princess Celestia. I can remember, even though just barely, her skipping training just so she could play with me. I remember having a lot of fun, and throughout most of my life, she was my only friend.

She did get in trouble every once and a while for skipping her training for me, but she never really cared. As long as she had me and I had her, we were both very happy.

When I first learned how to write, Celestia got me a diary. I absolutely loved it, I wrote my deepest and darkest of secrets in it every day. I can just imagine her reading through it right now just trying to see what came over me earlier.

Author's Note

Elos Nimnuts to the first chapter of a fic I've been very excited to write for a very long time now! I got the idea to do this from the My Little Pony marathon The Hub had back a few months ago, in 2014 if you're from the future. In it, Twilight was asked where'd she go if she could travel back in time & to anywhere. She responded by saying that she'd go see Celestia & Luna grow up. Suddenly, a pool of ideas came over me, I guess inspiration can come from the strangest of places. This chapter a lot more of an introduction than an actual chapter, but I hope you enjoy anyways!
