Twilight and the Moon

Normal P.O.V

Twilight Sparkle gets ready, and she is wearing a dark blue gown with the stars on it. She is wearing a blue hair clip in her mane, and she has just finished putting on a bit of makeup. She walks out of the east wing, and notices Luna. Luna looks beautiful, with a purple gown and the royal regalia.

Twilight walks down the steps, and so does Luna. Luna holds out her hoof, and Twilight takes her hoof as they walk down to the ballroom. As they start dancing, Madame Teapot starts singing.

"A tale, older than time..... As surreal as it can be....... We see how it is changed, for the two mares are dancing tonight, under the sparkling stars and the glowing moon......" Madame Teapot started.

"A growing love, unexpected as time passes by, the feelings not denied any longer..... Surely, the lonely moon has found her star, and sensed the love coming from the young mare...... The star, who always wishes for love, has found the one........ The star has expected it to be a stallion, but it has turned out to be a mare," She sang.

"Neither prepared for this rare love, and both in hesitation at first....... Twilight and the Moon....... Ever different, more so a surprise...... A love that knows no gender, but true love....... The feelings close to the surface, and the love hidden no more........ Never before, just as the moon will rise......."

Twilight and Luna dance around, and they stare into each other's eyes. In Twilight's eyes, there is a hint of growing feelings. And in Luna's eyes, there is a hint of growing compassion and love. "Twilight," Luna said, "I never expected to fall for a mare, but we are truly meant to be........"

"Luna....... You're so sweet and kind," Twilight replied, "Like the mare in the painting......"

Luna smiles as Twilight rests her head on Luna's chest. Luna's heart melts for a moment. She surely is feeling the love tonight.

"A tale, older than time, a love, rare and strange....... Romance blossoms, and in the moment, there's not a care this night........ The night, where love is blooming....... Finding you can love anypony, regardless of gender or age......... No matter how different you both are...... Actual, as the moon rising in the east...... A tale, older than time..... Song, new as rhyme..... Twilight and the Moon....... A tale, older than time..... Song, new as rhyme......." Madame sang.

Twilight and Luna walk out onto the balcony, and they gaze at the stars. Twilight sits down as Luna sits next to her. Luna grabs her hoof, as Twilight looks to the left. "Twilight Sparkle, I'm fairly certain that you will break the curse with love," Luna said, "Don't you forget that......"

"I won't. Anyways, Luna...... I wonder if they will accept this kind of love....... It feels different from dating a stallion....." Twilight replied.

"They may. It will take some time......." Luna hugs Twilight, and nuzzles her neck for a moment.

"Twilight...... And the Moon........." Madame finished.

Twilight continues to have a bad feeling about something, and Luna starts to become concerned. They walk into the darkened living room with the fireplace, and Twilight starts speaking once again. "I want to check on my mother," She said, "I'm sure she's out of the castle. I want to know how she's doing......"

"I'll let you use the Enchanted Mirror," Luna said.

She levitates a mirror in front of Twilight, and the mirror shows Twilight's mother in a bedroom that is all white. "I.... I'm not insane," Twilight's mother said.

"What did they do to my mother? I'll go and find out," Twilight said.

"Okay...... I hope you hurry," Luna replied as she looks at the rose, "There's not much time tonight......."

"I will. Please hang in there."

Twilight hugs Luna quickly before getting out of the castle. She runs out into the forest, and enters Ponyville to find the asylum. "Hey, you're back. Marry me?" Blueblood said.

"No!" Twilight replied, "Let me hurry and find my mother!"

Twilight rushes into the asylum, and finds her mother lying in bed. "I've come here for you. The black mare, who is actually the Princess of the Night, is benevolent, not malevolent. You are not insane. I know you once saw her. It's time I prove the villagers wrong," Twilight said.

"I'm not sure about this," Her mother replied.

"I'm confident that it will work."

They walk outside, and Twilight levitates a mirror. "See? My mother's not insane. She saw this mare, who is actually a benevolent ruler........" She said.

"This tyrant has tricked you!" Blueblood lied.

"Down with this mare! To the castle," The villagers shouted.

They march to the castle, but Twilight, gathering up her courage, attempts to stop Blueblood in his tracks. "Stop this nonsense! Because you're trying to act like a hero when you're actually not, you only made yourself weaker! This mare is strong, because she can change. She is strong because she is kind and benevolent! And she will never hurt an innocent soul! Princess Luna is a lot more heroic than you are. She's a hero...... And you're the villain," She said, "You have such a cold heart! She has a warm heart, unlike you!"

"Quit blabbering! You're crazier than your mother! Stay in the basement," Blueblood retorted as he allows the villagers to throw the two into the basement of Twilight's house.

Luna is hearing shouts in the distance. She's sure those are shouts of violence, hate, and threats. A golden carriage rushes in. "You must hide in the west wing somewhere. They're looking for you. I will tell the servants and the guards to stop them," Celestia warned her.

"Okay," Luna said, "That's good. I don't feel like fighting back."

"You seem gloomy lately. Did Twilight leave?"

"Yes. She tried to find her mother, and I'm not sure where she is right now."

"We must hurry. They seem to be getting closer! Hide!"

Luna rushes to the west wing, and she looks out the window. She doesn't see Twilight anywhere, and the rose is close to losing the final petal. "Twilight, you must hurry...... There's not much time........ My fate depends on your decisions......." She whispered.

When she hears the entrance doors being opened violently, she becomes more worried, but she also feels hopeful.

Teacup has somehow found his way into Ponyville because he is using a machine. The machine rams into a trapdoor, and the axe chops the trapdoor as quick as it can.

Meanwhile, Blueblood walks off to find Luna. He walks through many corners and many rooms, still looking for the princess. "Nightmare Moon! Come out, wherever you are!" He called out. There is no response.

Princess Celestia hears Blueblood's shout, and quickly rushes to the west wing to guard the door. "Nopony's getting to my sister," She told herself, "Not even the stallion......"

Meanwhile, Twilight Sparkle escapes the basement, and rushes towards the castle. She can't let a terrible fate happen to Princess Luna...... She must save her from that fate....... She gallops harder, sweat falling down her forehead as her heart beats harder. All that adrelaine is bringing more courage to her soul.

She rushes past the villagers, not even bothering to stop for a fight. She runs into the castle, and quickly looks for the west wing. She doesn't care what rules apply at the moment about the west wing. Twilight rushes towards the west wing, and she notices Celestia guarding the door. "Let me in quickly," She said.

"Okay," Celestia said, "I'll make sure that the servants and the guards are still fighting against the villagers. Protect my sister, as she's in grave danger....."

The carriage rushes off as Twilight enters the room. "Luna!" She exclaimed as she approaches Luna. They walk out onto the balcony as they hear a thump behind them.

"Who is that?" Luna asked as she turns around.

Blueblood jumps out at Luna, and attacks her with a knife. Luna screams in pain as she shoots a magical blast at Blueblood. Luna's magic surrounds him, and Blueblood is unable to fight back. Luna flies to the top of the castle, and she glares at Blueblood. "No....... No," She said.

"How can this be?! You're supposed to die," Blueblood retorted.

"I will not allow you to murder me. I'm more capable than you think. I'm not a mere damsel in distress. I'm the protector of this land, and of my subjects, and of my own family. You don't belong here. I will decide your fate....... For the royal family is not kind to those who have wronged them!"

Luna locks her gaze with Blueblood's eyes, and her expression hardens. "I am the hero. You are not," She concluded, "Stop acting like you are one...... Twilight does not deserve a boastful coward like you!"

Twilight climbs the tower until she reaches the top. She watches as Luna decides Blueblood's fate. The thunder booms loudly as the rain pounds the roof of the tower. "You will not, and will never win Twilight's heart!" Luna finished, "Until you can prove yourself guilty for this wrongful act, you will not live!"

Luna's magic drops Blueblood, and Blueblood screams with anger as he falls all the way down. Luna pants heavily, and she collaspes to the ground. "No!" Twilight shouted, "This can't be......." She approaches her, and places her head on Luna's neck.  Tears rush down her face, and the tears mysteriously find their way onto Luna's chest, entering the wound.

"Luna, I love you......" Twilight sobbed.
