Chapter Three: Celestia's Final Approval (unfinished)

After Luna had woken up that day and taken a luxurious bubble bath, Celestia had a talk with her.  "Luna, I need to apologize to you about--about last night. I don't know what has gotten into me lately." Luna smiled.

"It's perfectly alright. I hope you will let Sombra and I get married, though."  Celestia nodded slowly.

"On one small condition. If you promise not to move away from me."   So, Luna agreed.

Chapter Four: The Wedding

That day. That glorious, beautiful day of the wedding was celebrated in such happiness it seemed as if the world was smiling.  "Princess Luna, do you take King Sombra to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Luna smiled.

"I do."

"Do you, King Sombra, take Princess Luna to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do."

Banquets and parties, hosted by Pinkie Pie herself, went on all night and a little through the day. Everyone was joyous, and ponies danced and sang until they couldn't anymore.

Chapter Five: Epilougue

"Luna, Luna come back!" screamed Celestia in her sleep. She woke up, breathing heavily. It was another nightmare.

"C-Celestia, your h-highness, are you okay?" asked one of the servants.

"Yes. Go back to sleep, I was just having a dream." The servant obeyed.

The next day Luna was enjoying the peaceful day in the newly remodeled castle. King Sombra was out buying food and supplies. Luna was truly happy now that she had found the true love of her life. Suddenly a scroll appeared in front of her. She quickly skimmed it and realized the promise she had broken. She began to fly to the other castle, but restrained, hesitated. She would not be kind to that cruel sister who banished her to the moon and did not allow her to fall in love. No, she would continue her happy life in this castle, away from that sister.

Celestia was filled with hatred. Luna had written back to her saying she would never come back, and now Celestia didn't really care all that much.  Now that Celestia was free of looking after Luna, she was happy. She remained happy and answered all the ponies' questions about where Luna was, what happened to Luna, blah, blah, blah. Celestia was happy, and Luna was never going back.

                                                   The End

Prologue

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter One: Falling From The Moon

Inside the castle of the two sisters, one sister is missing. Luna, or formerly Nightmare Moon, was out. Somewhere. That... Celestia had no idea where. It had been two moons since Luna was un-banished from the moon, or rather, came down herself and was forgiven by her sister. Luna had been going out random nights and Celestia let it slide, although she was getting a bit suspicious. Meanwhile, Luna sat in the ruins of the old castle of the two sisters located in the Everfree Forest. Next to her, clearly very, very happy, was King Sombra. He had changed. The evil was gone from him and he was smiling. There seemed to be a glow about him. At least, when he was with Luna. He had his arm around her, not necessarily in a romantic way. Up above, stars seemed to smile at them, the unusual pairing. The moon was not in the sky that night; Luna had decided only the stars would shine on that special night. Sombra had requested it, after all. He gazed at the stars for a moment, then turned to Luna.

"My dearest...it is getting late. You should return to your castle." Luna looked him in the eye.

"Yes, but 'tis only just getting dark. I could lengthen the night for thou..."

Sombra shook his head and smiled. "Oh, Luna, you were always so humourous. I have to go, in the Crystal Empire I have duties to attend to." Luna nodded sadly.

"I will, um...see you tomorrow night? Be prepared for something tomorrow..." he said, a bit awkwardly. He waved, and then in a flash of his new wings was gone. Luna sat there for a moment, staring at the stars and then using her magic arranged them into the shape of Sombra's face. She sighed contentedly and then shivered. She had made that night too cold. Slowly she started to fly back to Canterlot. Behind her, one witness stood. Er, hovered. Rainbow Dash stared at Luna.

"What?" she thought. "Luna is in love?"

Chapter Two: Celstia's Disapproval...or IS it?

Luna rolled out of bed randomly. She checked the time. It was already nighttime, the time where she didn't sleep. She untangled the sheets from around her and teleported herself to the castle. Sombra was there staring at the stars and became startled from Luna's arrival.

"I was just looking at this star arrangement you made." Luna blushed and dug into the ground with her foot. She sat down on the grass. It was a beautiful night, and Sombra was happier than ever for some reason. He dug something out of his pocket and opened it. "Luna...will...will you marry me?" he asked awkwardly. Luna gasped and her horn flickered.  "Yes...yes...but we cannot tell my sister of this." Sombra nodded.

"I promise. I promise, Luna." And Luna leaned forward and kissed him. And from out of the shadows Celestia jumped out and tackled Luna to the ground, not letting her up. "Luna!" cried Sombra and pried a fuming Celestia off of Luna.  "Now, you two. Stop."  Celestia flew off, leaving two shocked ponies who shortly got back to what they were doing previously.

Celestia heaved herself onto her bed, thinking about what she had done to her sister's privacy. Of course, she WAS breaking Celestia's rule, and WAS being stubborn and foolish, but still. She slowly brushed her mane until the sparkles shimmered. Then, using her alicorn magic, set the brush on her nightstand and went to sleep.

Luna returned home at exactly 5:51 in the morning, a time which Celestia would never approve of. But Luna went to bed, and I guess it ended OK. Except that Celestia still didn't accept Luna and Sombra's friendship, and how it was way more than a friendship.
