"So, Fluttershy, you are Applejack’s twin sister?” Rainbow Dash said to her.

“Why yes I am, who knows? It’s because that half of our family is pegasi and the other half is earth pony” The soft spoken pegasus said to the strong sensed.

Rainbow Dash looks back at the two ponies and flies back into to her home cloud, she still couldn't wait for the Summer Sun Celebration to arrive tomorrow night and she was ready to hang out with Applejack’s sister Fluttershy. She was smiling in her sleep for the new day to come...

Wham! Snap! Snap!

As Twilight continues to break the traditional bamboo, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy was still trying to see her, but had no luck.

“I can’t see her.” Rainbow Dash keeps moving everywhere to see Twilight begin the festival. Fluttershy places her down onto the ground again to talk.

“Maybe we should see something more than just Twilight breaking the bamboo.” Fluttershy said, gently points her hoof towards the opposite direction.

“I suppose so…” Rainbow Dash flies with her towards a warehouse along with two ponies were at the front doors to the inside of the building. Rainbow Dash squinted her darkened raspberry eyes and saw the two ponies she saw a few days before the Summer Sun Celebration, Fleur De Lis and Photo Finish.

Fleur De LIs turned around hearing noises from the bush and looked at one of them that was behind.

“Oh what are you two mares doing here? You don’t need to hide.” The white unicorn said to the two pegasi.

“Oh, really? I guess you caught us?” Rainbow Dash comes out of the bushes while Fluttershy was giggling softly, thinking it was a joke.

“Yes indeed. We were just in time to see inside the ancient weapons of the Mare and the Moon.” Fleur De Lis said as Photo Finish finally unlocks the lock.

“The door is unlocked, Fleur De Lis.” Photo Finish smiled and saw Rainbow Dash again, waving her hoof at her.

“Here goes nothing” opening the door altogether, Fleur De Lis and Rainbow Dash opened the door inside the building and saw ancient tools they used in the past few generations and looked around to see the investigation as Fleur De Lis looks around the area. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash split up to find more information about the ancient tools in the past and looked for something strange about it. Rainbow Dash wandered around the building and wasn’t looking at her direction.

“Oof!” Rainbow Dash looked up upon a statue of a pony that has purple dust-like mane and tail, black coat, demonic dark purple eyes, and an armor that has the moon on it’s symbol.

“Ahh!” Rainbow Dash screamed, as Fleur De Lis, Photo Finish, and Fluttershy looked at her direction and turned back, Fleur De Lis walked towards her and looked at the statue again.

“Who is she?” Rainbow Dash looked around the statue avoiding eye contact with it.

“This pony is the Mare and the Moon, or in short term, Nightmare Moon. She is the guardian of Ponyville, and other ponies think that she symbolises darkness and evil, so we protected this statue here in this building. Unfortunately, she was a devil to other ponies so they were against her and our town so which is why Ponyville was turned into a dam but we rebel and won the fight.”

Rainbow Dash looked at the Mare and the Moon, staring at her demonic pupils with contempt.

“These were also the ancient tools used for punishment for anypony who defies the Mare and the Moon.” Fleur De Lis’ face turns serious as her ice blue eyes was now blank, Rainbow Dash looked around the tools and most of the tools are sharp.

“The penalty for punishment is either death and pure consequences, one of the tools was a tool that punishes a pony by death by taking the pony’s internal organs out of their body, and let them raw.” Fleur De Lis looked at the ground and her face was almost serious.
