New Moon

Chapter 1

By Greed and Giving

“Well tomorrow will be a thousand years since we were banished up here, and I am excited about going home, how about you Nightie?” Luna asks me while I’m thinking of other things.

“NIGHTIE ARE YOU THERE, EQUUS TO NIGHTIE!!” Luna yells at me, which if I had a body would have made me fall on my flank from surprise and made me deaf.

“What Luna, why did you yell at me for?” I ask when I can think clearly again, “ What do you want right now anyway?” I ask while looking at her inside our prison for the last thousand years.

“Well I just asked if you were excited about tomorrow because we get to go back home after a thousand years up here, I wonder if ponies will still recognize us after all these years? Or have they forgotten us and we will have to start all over again with them.” Luna says while going through a small emotional rainbow, which makes me laugh a little bit.

“Sis I think we’ll be fine when we get back, everything is going to be okay. You need to relax and calm down, yes they may have forgotten about us, but that is something we can work on with them from the time we get back to the end of our days. I’m more worried about how they will take to me since there was one pony sent to the moon, then suddenly now there are two of us. What do you think they’ll all say about that.” I ask her for the uptinith time in the last millennia.

“Well we will have to see what happens won’t we Nightie, and thank you for calming me down, it’s just so exciting to know we will be going home soon.” Luna says, “And you will finally have your very own body again, are you going to tell me that you are not looking forward to that at least?” she asks which makes me suddenly remember what I was thinking about before Luna yelled at me.

“Yeah I’m really nervous about the future is all, like what will I do and what will be my domain to rule over?” I say out loud and Luna came over and hugged me with a reassuring smile that I have seen countless times since I had awoken in her when we were still fillies.

“Well I’m sure that we can figure out what you can do, but I wouldn’t doubt that Greed and Celestia are also coming up with stuff for us as we were up here and you know that they can be counted on for anything when the as Greed would say ‘tough gets going’.” which made us both laugh.

The Next Night

We came back to Equestria as was known and greeted by our sister Celestia, all by herself, surprisingly hugging us even though we were still in our ‘Nightmare Moon’ form.

“I’m so glad you two are back and okay, but you have to hurry up and go to Ponyville, say that you have banished me and then head to our old castle and I will inform you when you get there on everything. Greed should be finishing his check list on everything he started a week ago after coming back,” she gives us another hug again and starts pushing us away “Go, go you need to hurry!” we’re confused but do as we are told to do, and on the way to our old castle we set some traps that won’t hurt anypony but slow them down enough to hear what is going on.

A Couple Hours Later

Tia and Greed are done telling us what the plan is when there is an alarm going off letting us know that Twilight and her friends have made it to the castle and it is time for me to keep the ‘bad guy’ act up just a little bit more. Oh the fun this is was worth the thousand years imprisonment and finally able to get a body is the cherry on top. As Greed would say ‘You deserve an Oscar for that performance’ as we nailed the ‘evil alicorn princess’ act to make Twilight, RD, Rarity, AJ, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie awaken to who they are meant to be, though getting hit with the Rainbow Cannon did hurt a little bit when I was removed from Luna’s body then all is white.

“Well hello there Nightie, how are you feeling now?” is what I hear after could have been an eternity but was most likely a few seconds, “I feel fuzzy all over, why is that?” I ask Greed when I recognize his voice and look around to see that I can see everywhere at one time. “What happened to me?!” I scream in fear.

“Hold on Nightie, you’re are going to be alright okay right now you are in a soul crystal, waiting to be put in your new body. I’m just finishing the prep work on the process of infusing you to it, and the answer to your first question is that what you’re feeling is what most people call an out of body experience that a lot of people have either when they die and are brought back or it’s not their time yet and are brought back on their own, it’s a weird phenomenon but you’re the first to feel it in reverse.” he says with a chuckle at the last part. The next thing I feel is moving faster than what I thought was possible then a sudden stop and then I feel a weird tingling all over.

“Okay Nightie you can open your eyes now and see the world, and don’t forget to breath.” Greed tells me in a new direction and a little muffled. When I open my eyes I now know why he’s muffled and farther away, for I am now in a tank with some weird clear blue-ish liquid in it, and I freak out a little bit till I remember to breath, see as there is a breathing mask on my face. “What is going on and why do I tingle all over the place?” I ask with a hoarse voice.

“Well Nightie the reason for the tingling is your new body and your soul are adjusting to each other and that should be done anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of days, and I want to know how you feel other than the tingling like any pain, nausea or lightheadedness cause that could be a bad thing or maybe a good thing, not really sure.” Greed says with curiosity in his voice as he walks into my focus while looking at me. “Hmmmm, your body seems to look like Luna’s but you still have the slit like eyes, please open your mouth so I can see your teeth?” he asks to which I do. “You have fangs like a Thestral pony, I’ll have to do a physical check-up on you here in a little bit after I drain the tank and you get dry from the grow-goo, funny name because your mom named it that, oh she would be so proud that all our hard work has paid off.” he says while pushing some buttons and I can feel a soft suction coming from underneath me as the goo is slowly starting to drain. “But I know that they are watching from where ever they are now, happy that you are now an individual pony again.”

With the goo now at chest level I remove the mask and say “Do you think that they would have like the way I look, case they don’t know if this was what I looked like before that happened to me, or would they have disliked me and gotten rid of me?” I ask him, cause he knew my parents better than anypony else in the world.

“Now that’s not fair to Selena and Solaris, your parents, because they loved all three of you with all their heart and wouldn’t have given you up for the way you look, hold on to my hand and step lightly to the ground when you feel like it okay, anywhere they love you as much as Luna and Celestia, so now need to worry about it.” he told me while he was helping me out of the open tank after it finished emptying out. “Now come sit down over here and let’s test your reflexes.”
