Luna was never banished as Nightmare Moon. Instead someone else was and after a thousand years she had returned. Perhaps going to a costume convention was a bad idea.

Nightmare Moon, the Mare in the Moon and Equestria's bogyman. As it is for told the stars would aid in her escape. However here the thing, Princess Luna is not Nightmare Moon. She and Celestia have ruled together for a thousand years.

How was I suppose to know that helmet would cause this? Shouldn't have gone to that convention.

I am Nightmare Moon (rewrite)

Artemis fiddled with her outfit. 'damn wings.' She thought irritably.

After about a few dozen attempts she finally got them in a manageable position. "Finally" she said with a sigh of relief as she looked at her Nightmare Moon outfit in the mirror.

Artemis, a eighteen year old teenage girl, was a pegasister, and heard about a costume convention coming up soon. She was going as Nightmare Moon and decided to put her own spin on it so it was a more Spartan anthro version. A quick check at her phone and she saw she was going to be late if she didn't hurry up.

At the convention she saw all kinda of people dressed up. One was Ultron, another went as Deathwing, she also saw one guy with an incredibly detailed Lex Luthor costume. Of course, she saw another brony who was going as Discord himself.

As she walked farther into the convention she came across a booth. She saw the guy dressed as Discord get the elements of disharmony. As she glanced over, a certain night-themed, plumbed helm caught her slitted contact eyes.

"How much?" She asked the person at the booth, who was wearing a thick cloak and was reading a book. "The Greek helmet? Eh, forty-five bucks." he stated nonchalantly. Artemis winced a little at the price as she looked the helmet over again. 'Welp, you only live once' she thought grimly as she got the money and gave it to him.

Helm in hand she finally had her Nightmare Moon outfit complete.

Suddenly,bright flashes of light blinded her like someone had threw down some flashbangs.

"What's going on!?" Artemis shouted (or at least tried to shout), then darkness enveloped her.

I felt different somehow.

Oh yeah, I feel like shit. I groaned as I tried to get my bearings, when my eyes could finally focus I saw a clear starry sky above me. This scared the living shit out of me, because of course, I had no idea where I was. Dozens of thoughts ran though my head as I looked down at myself, and noticed my cosplay had melded to my body.

I had an actual black fur coat, with a shimmering ethereal mane hanging over my shoulder. Raising my hands I noticed I had heavy steel bracers protecting my forearms as well as having my nails sharpened as to give a very intimating illusion of claws.

'All right, mental note: be careful in scratching with these things' I jokingly added as I tried to ignore the sinking feeling in my gut. I then looked down to find two large breasts protected with steel boob armor which covered my abdomen with some iron abs. Of course, the signature crescent moon emblem was on my chest, 'At least I look pretty ripped' I shrugged and poked at my metal six-pack.

Anyway, my lower body was protected with a actual leather studded skirt with crescent moons embroidered at the tips as well as steel shin gaurds and bladed horseshoes. Noticing my helmet was on the ground, I cautiously lifted my clawed hands to feel my ears, and... yep they were ponified as well.

Okay pros, I'm arguably pretty sexy and freaking ripped. Cons, I'm in a frickin pony body.

I thought about it for a minute, "Ok, Artemis you can either freak out about this or handle this calmly" I stated to myself and looked around at the barren, white desert surrounded me. As I looked up, I saw something that blew my thought process to smithereens.

Dangling in the night sky was a green and blue planet, and I slowly began to connect the pieces and everything was starting to make sense. Being on the moon, hooves, a black coat and weird flowing hair, and that merchant. I smacked my forehead, there was practically a website full of stories of people vanishing in cons by buying mysterious artifacts, but noooo I thought those were just works of fiction. If anything a farce, but here I am. On the moon, as Nightmare Moon... alone.

"Oh. My. God." I said, as my thought process got back online. After about a few minutes of mental panic, and a hour of denying this was real I came to the conclusion that this was actually real. I was Nightmare Moon and was imprisoned on the moon.

'Well, it can't be all that bad, I mean, she does get out of it. Who knows, I may be freed in a few minutes, an hour tops. It can't be that long until I'm free.'

(One Thousand years later)

"I hate this place. I hate this place. I hate this place. I hate this place-"

If you told me, I would be trapped on the moon for, I dunno, a thousand years, I would have told you that you were insane. If you told me that I would be stuck on the moon, as Nightmare Moon, I'd of probably laughed in your face. If you told me I would-... well you get the point. I'm trapped on the moon, over a world I didn't even think existed. Days on end on a floating rock orbiting a planet that seemed to be occupied, but I didn't know. I had nothing up here. There were no stores, no supermarkets, and no damn bathrooms.
Still, it was pretty cool to be the queen of the night, with all my amazing powers and all. I only regret that I HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THEM! I've been here for what seemed like an eternity, twiddling my fingers as I wait for the prophecy every brony on earth has memorized by this point.

Waiting for those damn stars to get me out of here. I know how this will play out and I awaited eagerly to be free once more.

Still, I had to be grateful for something. Being stuck in a vast wasteland with nothing but years to myself did have one advantage. It let me get to know my body better, and no not in that kind of way. My magic was strong, I could feel it course through my veins as I would light up my horn to levitate stones like some sort of jedi, or in my case a sith, Yet that was just a fraction of my power.

After waiting practically forever, I taught myself magic spells, fire, ice, weapon summoning, shockwave, and of course my favorite: shapeshifting. No, I couldn't do it perfectly like a changeling but I could at least get a gold star for being able to transform into a shadowbolt, my max now is two but I believe I could make it three with some more practice.

As well, during these last couple centuries I felt something bothering me, something that dwelled deep within me, something with an immense strength that wished to released but I didn't know how to.

I noticed a faint flicker above me. Four stars were starting to close in on the moon and I, I couldn't help but smile a toothy grin as I watched them come ever so closer to me. Equestria was about to witness a return of a villain that has stained its history for years as the very image of their fears would soon return and they don't even know it. Well, say for one particular unicorn.

I knew what was coming and I was ready for it. The stars vanished into my prison as I could sense something holding me to the massive rock suddenly vanish. "Heh... hehe... Hehehahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!" I couldn't help it, who hasn't wanted to do an evil laugh and actually mean it in their time. Without warning, my thick black wings sprout forward from my back and rocket me through the void of space to my new home. I was coming for Equestria, and I could hardly wait.
~~~~~
I arrived in the dead of night in the little town of Ponyville. I couldn't believe it, the place looked just like the town. Though... there was one... big difference. The small, colorful ponies weren't so small, let alone completely pony. The ponies looked to be anthrofied, much like myself. They wore simple clothes, like back on earth mixed in with some of their own designs. Of course this revelation didn't mean much as I was fond of Anthro ponies. As I stealthily snuck into the townhall I overheard one of the murmuring ponies "Where is princess Celestia?!" they asked to one of their neighbors.

That caught my attention 'Well, I haven't seen her. Am I supposed to hunt her down or something?' I wondered, I didn't want to be doing my "I've returned" speach if she was late and just walked up behind me.

Leaving me to my silent musings, another pony asked, "Hey, where is Princess Luna!" That right there made me blink. Luna wasn't banished in the moon? The revelation caused me to do a double take. If Luna didn't get sent to the moon, who exactly am I? After a moment, I noticed the ponies were getting angsty and I shook my head. 'Bitch! Who am I? I am Nightmare Moon! Now, go out there and show them why I was Moon bound!' I mentally pumped myself and begin my dramatic entrance.

Black smoke swirled about the stage where Celestia would have stood. A crack of lightning came forth as it startled the ponies down below. For affect, I let tongues of blue fire ingulf the stage as I took upon my physical form with a moon-themed battle axe in one hand.

I could see the fear in their eyes as they looked up at me, all wondering who I was and where I came from. Their reactions the ranged from terrified to curious as they looked up at me.

I could hear them talking among themselves, wondering who I was. "Greetings, ponies of Equestria." I announced while fighting an excited grin. My voice sounded absolutely terrifying. Something like the charm and terrifying nature of Tim Curry and a bit of the authoritative presence of Peter Cullen. "I have returned once again after a thousand years of banishment. I am Nightmare Moon." I gave an evil chuckle, which was actually part of the effort I was using to keep myself from breaking into a giddy giggle. I've always wanted to play Nightmare Moon, this was the absolute role of a lifetime.

"Nightmare Moon real?" Some ponies would say.
"She's going to enslave us!"
"Eternal Night! Eternal Night!"
"Hide your foals! She's going to devour us!"
"She's a lot more beautiful than I remember."

The last comment made me feel a little uncomfortable. 'Pervert.' I thought irritably, but it was kind of true. The biggest change I received when becoming nightmare moon was my figure, and a few other things. Eh, I guess being half goddess-horse as its perks.

"Not if I can help it!" I froze in place, I could recognize that voice anywhere. Stepping forward and out of the crowd was a familiar purple unicorn. She stood five feet tall with a furrowed brow as she looked to me with determination. I had to admit, Twilight was a pretty scary unicorn when she wanted to be. At least from my end. "So, you have finally returned Nightmare Moon." I gave her my best devilish smile. I knew this was going to be fun.

"That I have, Twilight Sparkle." I could see her take a step back, shocked that I knew who she was. "Oh, what's the matter? Are you curious about how I know who you are, student of her highness Princess Celestia?" I could see her starting to fear me like the rest. "Well, it is obvious. My power is far greater than your precious princess."

"Maybe, but I'd like to see if that statement holds water." Turning around, I was sent flying through the walls and into the town. I felt like I got hit by a truck carrying lead that was also carried bay an even bigger truck. Though, standing in the hole was an Alicorn. I gasp as I see the princess of the night herself with her horn glowing a deep blue aura for her magic.

"Princess Luna." Twilight calls out as she comes out the door.

"Easy Twilight, this monster shall not do us any harm." The night princess stated as held her battle stance.

'Shit.' I silently cursed, and despite the headache, I managed to get back up to my hooves. My battleaxe dissipated when I took my unscheduled flight, and apparently Luna can kick some serious ass. So, like all good villains, I need to enact my number one failsafe plan; running away.

I dissipate into the fog and head towards the old castle. I really hope it was still there, otherwise I was heading into the Everfree Forest for no good reason.

The strangest scuffle of the century

I was weaving through the trees trying to come up with some sort of plan on my way to the sister's castle. I knew I couldn't follow the path of true timeline Nightmare, mainly because I would probably die and that Luna was an actual separate character in this universe. So that limited my options to nada as well as made me wonder where I came from, I mean in the show I was technically created by Luna. Was that the same here? Or am I like Sombra and was just trying to take over Equestria. 'Oh Faust, I just hope the Sister's castle is run down and has the elements. After that I can figure out what to do,' as luck would have it though, after blazing through the underbrush, I came upon a massive manticore.

I am not exaggerating.

It was literally big enough to eat a small car and its tail could give a zenomorph a run for its money. I of course didn't want to die, so I tried to sneak by, but of Faust-damn course, the creature instantly noticed me. I panicked as it charged toward me and I instinctively raised my arms as its massive paw came crashing onto my head.

...

'Ahem, CRASHING onto my head.'

....

'Huh?' I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the manticore and saw it swinging its paw back and forth through my NON-SOLID BODY.

"I'm a bloody idiot." I muttered as I facepalmed, now ignoring the manticore frenzied paw swipes. I prepared myself to leave, but before I could a devious idea popped into my head.

'Doesn't Nightmare Moon have the ability of possession?' I thought evilly as I looked over at my brand new test subject.

'Guess I'll find out.'

I was crashing through the forest in my newly "acquired" body.

To be honest, possession is like driving a car that you are not familiar with. You feel like the seat's to big, and there's a annoying squeak whenever you hit a speed bump. Tap the accelerator and you immediately go flying forward, floor the brakes and you preform a Tokyo drift, and it doesn't help that I'm looking through my host's eyes like a windshield

'Either way, I got used to it,' I muse as I continued sprinting through the Everfree.

When I finally made it to the bridge before the castle, I was happily greeted with the reliving sight of the decaying castle. "Thank Faust something's stayed the same," I sighed, but it came out like "Grow li awo red!"

I forgot to add, as well with the ability of possession, you inherit the abilities of your host, both physical and mental. Meaning, I am driving the car while being the car, so by inhabiting a manticore I gain incredible strength, increased endurance, and a powerful sense of smell. However, I have little ability to cast magic, poor flight, and can't speak. So it's basically a give and take.

I decided this would be a safe spot to discard my body, so I peeled myself from my fleshy abode, and in doing so the manticore collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut. Curious, I checked it to make sure it was alright; it had a few scratches and mange here and there, but besides that, it was breathing and looked overall okay.

So I opened my wings and flew across the ravine (There was no way in Tartarus I was going to cross that rickety fucking bridge) and once I made it across I destroyed the ropes holding it to this side.

Hoping to buy me some time, I divided myself into three ponies: two shadowbolts and one regular alicorn.

"Damn. Just a little more." I grunted as I forced myself to make a third shadow bolt, in return, decreasing my height.

"All right. You-guys know what to do" I gasped at my three constructs, they nodded as they dispersed into the night.

'Now for those elements' I decided as I staggered up to the castle gates. Once inside I tried to make my way to the throne room, 'Please be in there. Please be in there' I pleaded as I made my way through the rotten door ways. Instead of elements however, I was met with a completely different surprise.

"So you made it, creature."

Luna stood in all her glory, blue plate armor covering her whole body, giving her the appearance of a knight alongside the long rapier she held in one hand. A ivory crescent moon was engraved into her breastplate, reminding me of a coat of arms, while her rapier seemed to sport two blades, one built from the handle while the other extended past it. A helmet (which seemed to be built into her regalia) rested on her head as she glowered down at me.

I silently swallowed. I was not prepared for this. I mean, sure, I have a thousand years of magic practice under my belt, but when it comes to physical technique I don't know squat diddily. So while I might have looked calm on the outside I was internally panicking.

Taking my silence as confusion Luna decided to explain how she got here.

"You truly think you would have been able to hide here?" She scoffed, "I knew where you were going the moment you crossed into this Tartarus-damned forest". She then looked me over some more.

Taking this as an opportunity to stall I spoke up.

"Well, for all your foresight you seem to have poorly kept your castle in check." I replied as I motioned to the state of decay around us.

Luna's glare softened as she chuckled, "Things have changed since you have been around shadow of mine," her expression went cold, "However I think the time for talk is over. Prepare to die Nightmare."

I would have replied but one thing stuck out to me, her words shadow of mine. So I am still part of Luna?

Either way, while I continued assessing the information Luna took my silence as acceptance and charged.

'So if I am really part of her then I- Holy shiitake Jesus pumpkin!' I leapt out of the way of her blade only to have her advance upon me.

Making a split second decision, I summoned two short swords and parried her sideways slash. On impact I could feel the kinetic energy travel down my arms to my legs which ended up cracking the floor. Deciding front line fighting wasn't my forte I rolled to the right as Luna tried to kick me.

Now having some distance, I focused crackling energy through my horn and launched a javelin of magic at her.

She barely even twitched, as she lit her horn and blocked it with a barrier.

"Is that truly the best you got Nightmare?" She scoffed as she sent six magic bolts at me.

Rolling again to the right, I picked up a rusted shield and deflected her last bolt. I had no battle plan whatsoever, I needed to get out of here. 'Screw the elements I don't want to die!' I mentally screamed as Luna began to relentlessly hammer the poor shield I was using for cover.

Before my shield could completely buckle, I got a completely insane idea. So insane that it just might get me out of here in one piece. Executing it however, was going to be a bit of a problem.

I tossed my shield at Luna, it flew like a tortured frisbee until she smacked it out of the air with her sword. Taking my cue, I ran forward casting as many spells around me as my mana pool allowed. Lighting arched, flames flared, and jagged ice flew towards Luna, catching her off guard.

By the time she cast a magic barrier, her armor sported quite a few burn marks, and any area that wasn't covered with armor was covered in scratches. Now caught her full attention, I flew up towards the ceiling and cocooned myself in magic.

As I caught her looking up at me with a hint of confusion, I chuckled and finished the spell.

And dove down.

Slamming full force into a magical barrier isn't the smartest thing I've ever done, but judging by the spiderweb of cracks, it isn't the stupidest either. Rearing back, I saw Luna begin to realize what I was doing. As I went down a second time, I braced myself for what she may do; before I hit the barrier she dissipated it and thrusted her sword towards my heart.

With no time to change my course I could only pour more magic into my armor as I flew forward. As Luna's sword began pass through my magic armor I realized I had made a slight mistake.

Luna's sword could negate magic.

With my gathered momentum, her sword pierced through my armor, and I kept going forward until I reached the handle. Coughing up blood, I looked up at Luna, her glare now gone and looking down at me with a pitying smile.

"You fought hard Nightmare, now rest-"

Before she could finish, I grabbed her hand and gave her a bloodied smile.

"Got you."

With that, I plunged into her form.

Panic. Anger. Surprise. These emotions surged around me as I continued towards Luna's core. Usually, the core is in the head so I decided to make my way up there.
Crawling forward I began to feel Luna's panic increasing, but I continued up her arm and up to her neck. Now she was trying to pull me off with magic, which would be a great strategy, if I wasn't under her skin. Suddenly, feeling unbridled pain, I looked up and realized Luna was using her own sword to try to cut me off of her.

'This woman's crazy,' I thought and picked up my pace.

'Might as well be a moving target.'

Finally, I made it to her jaw. Now that I was in the head area, I could merge with the mindscape.

'This would be so much easier if I had just grabbed her horn,' I sighed as I made my way through.

Now in the safety of the mindscape I looked around, maps of constellations floated in one area as the vaults of memories floated in another. To no surprise Luna's head was full of star stuff, so I ignored the thought of exploring and made my way to the center of it all. "The Core"

It's actually just a orb that floats in the middle of the mindscape, however when I approached Luna's core, it was covered in a bluish armor.

"Well someone's been practicing on enclosing their mind." I grumbled as I looked for any weak points. Sadly, the whole sphere was completely covered.

Deciding I was going to have to remove that armor if I wanted to get anywhere, I stretched myself into a blanket-like shape, and wrapped myself around the sphere. With controled pressure, I constricted around the orb.

I needed to be careful, mainly because I was just trying to crush the armor, not the orb. I am not in the mood to deal with a brain dead Luna. After Faust knows how long, the armor began to warp leaving gaps into the orb, releasing I slinked into the orb.

Now in the car, I began tearing Luna out of the drivers seat, her physical body thrashed around the throne room as we fought. After I managed to gag her with a mental seat belt, I forcefully dragged her into the backseat; now with no one in control, Luna's body went limp and dropped to the ground.

Luna's screaming and cursing at me was muffled as I was strapped her down in the backseat like a whiny toddler. With her completely secured I hopped into the driver's seat and buckled myself in.

Luna's eyes opened.

"Testing, one, two, three. Alpha control do we have liftoff? Yes, we have liftoff," I smiled as I heard Luna's voice come out of "my" mouth.

Slowly beginning to stand, I looked over myself, Luna had really done a number on her body, her armor was worse for wear. She was bleeding in several areas including her mouth where I think she bit her cheek. I felt a bit of pain but not too much, being a shadow parasite has its perks, but as I began to walk forward the main 6 burst into the throne room.

"Princess Luna!" Twilight ran up to me. I gave a weak chuckle as she helped support me.

"You alright princess?" Rainbow asked as she supported my other side.

"I'm fine Rainbow. Nightmare and I had a duel," the main 6 looked at the destroyed throne room in awe.

"Well I recon ya'll both did each other a whali'pin" Applejack whistled, and I nodded as I coughed out a glob of blood.

'Internal bleeding, great.' The main six looked at me in concern, and Rarity turned a bit green when she noticed the amount of blood leaking from my injuries. "W-what happened," Fluttershy stuttered as she took account of my many injuries.

I smiled and held up my blood covered sword.

"I won."

The girls escorted me back to town, luckily the sun was just coming up, so I was able to regain my shadow bolts without them noticing. Either way, when we made it to Ponyville we were met with a small platoon of Canterlot soldiers, taking notice of my injuries one of the medics immediately patched me up and a squad of the soldiers escorted me to Canterlot.

It's actually quite a beautiful city, with it being on the mountain the sunrise looked exceptionally beautiful. The air was quite fresh too, and to be quite honest it was exactly like the show (except for the anthro ponies). As well, Luna has finally tired herself out. She had been screaming at me the entire way to Canterlot, but for now we had made it to the royal infirmary and I think we where getting somewhere.

'Consume mine own tail thee w'rthless abomination of darkness and perturbed valor!'

'Cometh at me bro! I wreck'd thee liketh a scrubeth and did own thee liketh a boss!'

'Thee w're lucky and did hide behind thy cowardice. Hadst we combated on equal groun i wouldst has't defeat'd thee!'

Oh did I forget to mention I think in ye Olden in Luna's mind. As well, the doctors examined us, removed our armor, and reapplied some bandages as well as gave us a room where they told me that I would be bedridden for a least a week or two.

However, waiting around was boring so I prodded Luna a bit and that's how we got to where we are now. Before I retort some more, a new character walked into our room.

"Lulu are you awake?"

Celestia herself, was quietly peeking into my room.

Taking a shot in the dark, I decided to answer.

"Yes, Tia, I'm awake. You don't need to sneak yourself in," with that she blushed and walked up to the cot the doctors had set me in. Now with a better view, I examined her.

She was taller than Luna (with a light amount of chub), and was wearing a cream colored dress with a gold embroidery sash draped over her left shoulder. She had a gold and silver bracelet on her right wrist, and of course her show regalia which was her crown and a dainty necklace which displayed her cutie mark with a jewel in the middle. Her fur was moderately short, but seemed more fluffy by her shoulders, and her rainbow mane seemed quite hypnotizing as it swayed in a non-existent breeze. Over all, she looked the part of a caring benevolent goddess and a huggable pony-person. 10/10 would hug.

Hugs however would have to wait, as Tia pulled up a chair beside me she sighed and ruffled my mane.

"What you did was incredibly reckless Lulu. You nearly gave me a heart attack, running off in your armor and confronting Nightmare alone. Do you know what could have happened?"

'Yeah Lulu, thee couldst has't been possess'd by a dark spawn and trapped in the backeth of thy mind. Oh waiteth.'

'Hold thine tongue Nightmare, mine actions do not condone thee to chastise me!'

Steeling myself from doing an eye roll, I returned to listening to Celestia's lecture.

"-as well, never use that stun spell ever again. It took me over an hour to override it."

'Thee stunn'd thy owneth sist'r?'

'I didn't wanteth h'r to be involv'd in our duel.'

Flattening my ears I did Luna's apologizing for her.

"I'm sorry Tia, I only wanted to protect you." I mumbled and Celestia sighed as she took my hand, after a bit of silence I wondered if I said the wrong thing.

"How'd it feel?"

"Huh?"

"Killing Nightmare. How did it feel." Her voice was soft, but I could tell she wanted a straight answer.

I swallowed, "It was a bit like adrenaline," Celestia gave me her full attention, "It was a bit of a rush when I saw her impaled on my sword."

Celestia tilted her head, "But?"

"I just feel empty," I looked at the ground for emphasis. Heck, I felt tears in my eyes. Damn, I was good!

Celestia was silent for a moment and brought me into a hug. "I will always be here if you need me Lulu," she whispered as I felt something wet on my shoulder.

'Is thy sist'r crying already? This is going to beest easi'r than i bethought.'

Luna gave no reply and I mentally shrugged as I nuzzled Celestia and gave her a weak smile.

"I'll be fine Tia, don't you have some duties you should be attending to," Celestia's face scrunched up as I gave her a shit-eating grin.

"You are part of the blame for that," she grunted and I giggled.

Yes, yes I was.

It had been at least a week after that encounter and by the Stars I was bored. During the first few days I had quite a few visitors, the main six, a few loyal guards, and even donut Joe whom gave us some donuts on the house. As well we had been getting a ton of 'get well' letters and even quite a few gift baskets and bouquets, the poor doctors had to clean out my room 3 times and even then I still had a considerable amount of loot. I was actually impressed by how many ponies loved Luna, I made sure all the gift baskets were put in our room. When I get out of this hospital I might make a mental note to write a plot load of thank you letters.

However after the first three days a plague worse than any other struck. Boredom's reign held strong as I tried using any distraction to combat it. Even banter with Luna seemed dull, as well I was able to nullify Luna's dream walking magic, so I won't have to worry about Celestia coming for my ass anytime soon.

Speaking of Celestia, she visits randomly from time to time, probably using any free time she has to visit us. Once we even brushed each other's hair before one of the guards notified Celestia that she had a meeting in a few minutes. However, one of the doctors had just walked in, 'Healthy Habit' I think is the stallions name. I guess he was here to give me another checkup but to my surprise he had a few nurses following behind him with a few clipboards.

"Your majesty, your last checkup has proven you capable enough to leave the infirmary. Sign these forms and we'll see you on your way ma'am."

'By the stars i has't nev'r hath heard a sentence that beautiful.'

Luna was giving me the silent treatment, so I just focused on the questions Habit was asking me, and after a few notes I found myself walking as a free mare out of the infirmary.

First, I needed to head to ~~our~~ my room. Not wanting to look like an idiot aimlessly wandering the castle halls I had already extracted this information from my host's memories.

Take a left here, turn right there, and past four doors till you see the ugly vase. Yes there was an ugly vase, and damn!

'I knoweth not wherefore celestia keeps this monstrous thing.'

'I begeth thy pardon! yond is mine own fav'rite vase!'

I couldn't reply, I was trying so hard to not gag at the sight of this ghastly thing. It was hideous, blues and silver mixed with bright oranges and yellows. Not to mention this thing was slightly lopsided with (for some reason) neon green handles. Giving an inward shudder I gave 'The Vase' a wide berth as I made my way around it.

Finally making it to my room, I closed the doors behind me and examined the room. It was huge (of course) with dark blue and indigo covering the walls. There was a miniature army of Gift Baskets in the left corner of my room which surrounded a dark oak wardrobe. A maple desk in the left corner with hundreds of star charts tacked above it, and a circular bed with a moon themed headboard laid in the middle. I also had a balcony which made me kind of nervous because there was another less secure entrance to my room (like anyone would try to assassinate me), but I do enjoy a bit of fresh air so I opened the doors and set a magic alarm in case anything tried to get in. Turning around I saw a side room, which lead to a nice looking bathroom. Large gilded mirror, big ass bathtub, and a large shower (Enough said). I was tired after my first day out so I decided to skip the shower and jump immediately into bed.

It felt like I was sinking into heaven, and in no time I was out like a light.
