Lunas's feeling regrets after what she's done so she goes to the grave of the friend whose life she shatterd to find peace

Luna knows heartbreak more then anypony so why does releasing this snowflake hurt so much she decides to go to the grave of her best friend and seek forgiveness but a conflict with her sister isn't helping hopefully Luna and celestial can clear it up and maybe Luna can say a goodbye that's been waiting 1000 years

goodbye snowdrop

I watched tia release the last snowflake we had and the first one my best and only friend made. yet deep inside my sadness i felt guilt knowing what truly happened to snowdrop all those years ago……..1000 years ago “shut up!” i screamed ,snowdrop was giving me one of her talks about how much she loved and heard my night “you can't even see it” i yelled at the shivering teenage pegasus in front of me then nothing but pain ,when it ended my sadness was gone but replaced with a deep blistering rage and deep burning desire to conquer and rule equestria, i looked around at the room i was in and saw celestia and a crying snowdrop, my eyes narrowed at celestia as i shot beam of magic at her she immediately flew through the hole i made in the roof but i gave chase. right as i had her cornered and was shooting a beam that would lead to her death snowdrop grabbed my wing ,instead i unleashed the power in my charged up horn towards her and she screamed then fell down down down into the ruins that were my home, then i hit celestia with a beam sending her crashing against the pedestal that the elements rested on. i smirked and charged at her preparing to end her once and for all the last things i saw was her grabbing the elements blasting me and seeing her pink mane turn tri colored ,end of flashback Celestia smiled at me are you okay? she asked I'm fine just remembering what happened 1000 years ago i sighed ,hey none of that was your fault now how about you go relax or sleep i'll wake you up to raise the moon and lower it and cancel night court she offered, kay thanks tia i said walking into my room i carefully locked the door and frowned at the state my new room was in i still didn't have the time to fix it up after tia added a balcony and fixed the tile and got a nice bathroom for me .none of it was decorated though so i decided to start decorating 3 hours later the room was nice and perfectly to my taste ,but i was still bored then i heard a quick knock at my door i yelled out i know it's time for the sunset out to the pony who was surely my sister i opened the door to my balcony and proceeded to raise the moon then i had an idea i never properly said goodbye to my late friend so i gathered a few letters i wrote to her while the nightmare left me alone while on the moon and proceeded to walk down to celestia's memorial gardens and say goodbye and slowly i approached the glass magic enhanced casket i proceeded to beg for forgiveness and cry at her grave my teardrops staining my letters to her i left the letters in her hands while enhancing the spell that hid her wounds from the outside world eventually i lowered the moon but decided to stay with my best friend a little longer then i felt a hand on my sholder thinking it was celestia i batted it away but then i looked up and saw snowdrop she smiled at me and after i begged her forgiveness she just laughed saying it was no big deal and she forgave me long ago we proceeded to have a good time until she gave me a parting gift of sorts it was a glass alicorn with a snowflake trapped in the middle she told me she carved the snowflake to help me get over my sadness she then said goodbye and said she had to go but before she left she took a photo of us together and gave it to me she then flew away into the sky. when i left the memorial gardens it was time to raise the moon but i felt something hard under me  it was the alicorn figure! i then looked at the coffin and there was the photo! i was astonished how could she have contacted me through death but then i realized i didn't care i was just happy she forgave me. that night i raised the moon with a light heart and smile on my muzzle for the first time since i returned.

Confessions

I was heartbroken celestia confessed she had created the illusion that made me think snowdrop was there but she had gone as far as finding an old photo of us and scavenging one of her snowflakes so I didn't know what to think should I be mad or happy with her for what she did at least she hasn't made me have a long talk with her about what happened yet so thats good but little did I know she would corner me and force me to talk to her yet I groaned as I saw celestia walking down the halls she saw me and ordered me to talk to her I finally obliged I was the first one to speak Why did you create an illusion of snowdrop I asked quickly,to apologize in a way for sending you to the moon ever since you came back you've been moping around and I thought I might as well create an illusion because snowdrop would have been alive for longer if I had not been such horrible sister to you!!!!! celestia yelled tears rolling down her face . What? I asked her dint you know I already forgave you for what you did 1000 years ago and all the way to today I regret what I've done yes you made mistakes but at least you don't have to live with the guilt that you killed your very own best friend and nearly killed your own sister!!!!!!!!!! I screamed back  I never thought about it from your perspective she whispered yeah 1000 years in isolation banished by your own sister to the thing that i once controlled but nooooo everything always has to be about you and your stupid regrets!! I screamed running away I turned only to see tears forming in my sister's eyes

                                                                      Celestia's POV

I watched my little sister run away again just like the time I rejected her in favor of planning the 1st summer sun celebration all those years ago, I stood adrift in my thoughts until I realized I was crying, not wanting anypony to see I dashed into the nearest room wich happened to be me and luna's private library I decided to take a look around since there may have been a spell to help me earn my sister's forgiveness, after what must have been hours I found a spell that I could use it could only be preformed by alicorns and only once every decade per pony but I was willing to use it,it let the living speak to one dead pony for one night only though, but maybe I could use it to truly hep my sister get over her sadness so I went to go find luna and cast the spell on her.

                                                                   back to luna

I could't belive tia in only 3 hours she has make me be mad at her and then consider her a best friend, let's just say she found an old spell and used it on me and I woke up to raise the moon only to relise that snowdrop was there, we had a really fun time just laughing ,catching up and pranking the night guard but before long it was over and I finally had to say goodbye. I cried when it happened and snow drop reminded me that I could see her on hearths warming because I hadn't used the spell yet, then I could see her every 10 years wich is  nothing to an alicorn like me but before she left she told me the same thing the fake snowdrop told me, she said she forgave me and it was not my fault for what I did then she gave me a large hug and made me promise to cast the spell on hearths warming and in a flash she was gone. The next morning I truly felt happy knowing that even though nightmare moon will always be a memory but that she is only history now.
