The Lunar Journal

Entry 17, August 27, 1001

I am positively giddy right now. If you were to tell me two months ago that I would be a princess getting ready for a overblown party, I would have had you checked out by some mental health specialists. Now here I am, staring at my midnight blue dress, heart fluttering. If John could see me now, he would be laughing his ass off.

This morning, Celestia convinced me to get ear piercings for the Gala. Though I could never admit it, but I always wanted ear piercings. For some reason, I never had the guts to tell my parents what I wanted. But now, circumstances are different. I'm now a independent mare, and I could do what I want. So I got these beautiful crescent moon earrings that go great with my dress.

I can't shake the feeling that this is all wrong. I am living another pony's life, and now I'm doing things to the owners body. For all I know, the real Luna could appear, making two different Luna's. Or, the real Luna could be stuck between the land of the living and the dead because of me.

Maybe I'll never know, but for now, I am Luna.
