Author's Note

Sorry that it took so long to get this chapter out. Work has been very hectic with my scheduling, one day I work the night shift and the very next day I'd have to work the morning shift. So I didn't have a lot of time to myself to work on the story and anytime I did have I kind of just had me time. My schedule is now balancing out where I'm working night shift most of the time if not all the time now. So I will continue to work on this story and post chapters as I get them done. Hope you enjoy.

I'm not sure what I should do

About two minutes into my flight towards Ponyville, I immediately turned around and went back to the castle ruins. In all my excitement I forgot that every single Pony in Equestria only remembers Nightmare Moon as an evil villain hell-bent on making the night last forever. I also quickly realized that I felt tired from flying for probably about 5 minutes, which leads me to believe while I may have the memories on how to use magic and how to fly, it doesn't mean that I have the experience to do either of them for anything more than just basic stuff.

"FUCK and I was excited to have a pinky party!" I yelled at myself realizing my own stupidity. 'I mean really what was I thinking, that I was just going to fly down and everyone was just going to be like 'Hey it's Nightmare Moon let's throw her party'. Taking a few deep breaths to calm myself down, I looked back at the castle I decided to make camp inside of it, I mean if it rains at least I'd have someplace that was protected from the forces of nature.

I decided to practice my macgic on some of the rocks that were everywhere. My mood picked up when I tried levitating a decent sized rock and found that it moved with ease, it was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. However when I tried to pick something up that was the same size as me it was harder and took more concentration but I was able to move it, I couldn't move it far maybe 6 feet out and 4 feet up but I was able to throw it pretty far, it felt like I was training to be a Jedi. When I tried to pick up something that was bigger than me I couldn't even lift it an inch.

I attempted some other spells for a few hours like teleportation, trying to get a spark of Fire to come out of my horn, and trying to change myself into any of the three tribes. Out of all of those the only one I was able to do was the spark of fire, when I tried to transform the spell just fizzled out and the teleportation launched me backwards. So there goes the idea of me turning into a different pony to visit Ponyville and having a convenient escape spell. Though I did find out I could turn into mist, I don't know if that's magic or just something Nightmare Moon can do, either way it was a little weird and cool being a sentient cloud of mist.

It was getting late, my only indication of that was that the sun was starting to set, so I went about gathering sticks, twigs, leaves and branches. The sticks, twigs, and leaves were for a fire and the branches were to make a tent out of the old banners. After I made my little camp, which took me a half hour, I gathered some more leaves, put them under the tent, got some more banners down and made a makeshift bed. It kind of looked like this.

After that I lit the fire and just kind of stared into the flames as my thoughts began to race in my head. 'Okay got to think, got to think. How do I go about introducing myself to the ponies of Ponyville without them freaking out? *sigh* The only thing I can think of is going to Celestia and Luna and talking to them but that also would most likely lead to being tackled by guards, being hit with high-powered Magic from either of the sisters, or both.' I sighed again as almost every thing I thought of turned out ending the same way, with me getting attacked.

'WILL YOU STOP MOPING! If we're going to share a body like I did with Luna than act respectable and with grace.' a voice said.

I was taken by surprise when I heard someone's voice. I started looking around the room to try and find them when my find registered what had been said "share a body" and "like Luna". But if the person said that then that would mean that was... 'Nightmare Moon'.

'Yes, that is my name and I'd appreciate it if you didn't ruin it with your bad ideas.' Nightmare said with exasperation.

"Where-are-you?-Are-you-in-the-room? *Gasp* ARE-YOU-A-GHOST?" I asked quickly.

'First space your sentences so that they're not a garbled mess. And to answer your questions, yes I'm in the room, no I'm not a ghost, and in you head. You don't have to talk out loud, you just think it and I'll hear it. Unless your not talking to me I can't hear what your thinking and it also works in reverse.' I heard her say in a deadpan voice.

'Your in my head...why?' I asked with with cautious curiosity.

'As I said before, this is OUR body. When the elements hit me they could tell that I had changed and decided to give me a second chance, but since I've never had my own body they had to make me one or that's what I thought theyed do. Instead they used their power to bring someone to our world that was like Luna and compatible with me so that we could share a body.'

'.....Ok, well that at least answered some of the questions that I have, but it leaves me with new ones. Like for example, what do you mean that you've changed?'

'1,000 years on the moon is a long time to think about your life choices. During the 1st Century on the moon, Luna and I didn't speak to each other and if we did talk it was mainly us arguing and yelling at each other. Going into the second century of us on the moon we both kind of calmed down we started to talk to each other a little bit more little less yelling, I think we both subconsciously realized that if we didn't speak to each other we were both going to lose our minds from the isolation. As we began talking to each other and getting to actually know each other, Luna realized that I may have been born from her jealousy and anger towards Celestia but I had developed into my own pony, I was my own being the separate conscious and mind from her own.

The more we talked to each other, the better we understood each other and the more we began to like each other we realize that we weren't so different. During our time on the Moon both her and my own anger toward Celestia had died down, we were still very much annoyed with her though. We began to think of a way to get back at her, a prank but it had to be a good one. Going into our fifth century on the moon, Discord decided to try to help us. Receive we had found out early on that Discord could talk to us and us to him, apparently if to being a hit with the Elements of Harmony and sealed and door banished they can communicate I'm still not entirely sure how but I give us someone else to talk to. Discovered also wanted to get back at silicea with a prank, we had convinced him to give up trying to take over the world and Equestria and turning it into nothing but chaos. It took a long time to convince him to give up on turning Equestria into the chaos capital of the world, eventually we agreed that he could play pranks on whoever he wished as long as no one got hurt and he fixed what he messed with. Do not even came up with the idea of him opening up a chaos Carnival, where he could use his magic as much as you wanted for others enjoyment. He actually quite lovely idea.

Anyway we had finally come up with our plan upon fine and Luna's return you would act as if nothing had changed week of this huge speech about the loneliness of the Moon, how we cried for her to bring us back home, how we apologized everyday, and that eventually we gave into madness. And when we saw the look upon her face which would be priceless, we'd boop her on her nose and say 'Gotcha. And the day that Discord returned he would mess with silly pretend like nothing had changed for him either, turn some random down into the chaos capital, 'mind control us' against her and when she came to put a stop to it he and I would both booper on the nose again and say the same thing that I said to her. It would have been hilarious, when she realize that not only did she get her sister and hopefully a new one back from the moon she would also get her best friend back as well. However things did not go according to plan, when Luna and I we're returning from our banishment to the Moon something went wrong I still do not know what but Luna was renewed on conscience and my mind was reset to the moment before we were blasted to the moon. I did not retain my memories until the new elements barriers we're blasting Laura and I are with the elements of harmony. And I am unsure if Luna has regained her memories of our time together on the moon.'

'...Well that answers even more questions but also brings up one more question, how do I know that your telling me the truth?'

'If I was lying I'd be screaming at you to give me control of our body or trying to take control forcefully.

The only thing I could think of as a response was, 'Fair enough.'

'So what do we do now?' I asked with interest.

'Since you have already begun practicing magic, I will become you teacher on how to use our new alicorn body. So get some sleep because your training will be hard. I will also hide your dreams from Luna so that she doesn't know we are here until we can determine whether or not she has her memories.

The only thing that went through my head as I laid down on my makeshift bed and I slowly drifted off to sleep was, 'Well this just got interesting.'
