During  a beautiful night in the Crystal Empire a certain alicorn princess sat in the castle garden enjoying the peaceful night until a shadowy figure was spotted. Becoming cautious The princess stood and prepared herself for the unknown pony but was thrown off as the stranger spoke as well as stepping into her view.

“I mean you no Ill Princess Cadence.”

Cadence became stunned and nervous as the stranger was none other than King Sombra. Instead of attacking Cadence became curious as to how he was here and why he walked up to her in a non threatening manner.

“Why aren’t you attacking no actually how are you here?” Cadence inquired.

Pondering Sombra replied in a simple manner. “Well I do not know how I am here but as I stated before I mean you no Ill princess.”

“Why are you here and why is your voice different?” Cadence inquired again.

“I’m afraid I don’t understand as to what you inquire?” Came a rather curious reply that through Cadence off for a third time.

“Okay, why is your voice so normal and why are you here talking to me?” Cadence asked yet again as she became irritated

“Oh I am not sure as to why my voice is as how it once was but as to why I am talking to you is simple. I knew you wouldn’t ‘attack first then ask later’. At least that’s how I believe the saying goes?” Sombra replied only to be stared at.

Both Cadence and Sombra sat there for what seemed like an hour only for a third pony to show up.

“Cadence who are you talking to?” Came a third voice.

“Well here comes trouble.” Sombra stated only for Shining Armour to notice him.

    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 looked into his eyes.

    "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 humorous. 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?"
