Rainbow Dash was about to do her job as weather manager over Ponyville which was really cloudy this day, after this short nap it was only a warm-up for the later coming daily practice. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and jumped down from her cloud to gain speed and get ready to clear the sky. When the last cloud ceased to exist she realized something wasn't right and a figure started to fall from the point where the cloud was a few seconds ago.
Rainbow was shocked when she saw a sleeping pegasus not aware her own situation falling towards the ground. When Dash realized what's happening, she gave a few strong beats to her wings, luckily she was fast enough to catch the other pegasus before she hit the ground.
The other pegasus opened her eyes as she hit Rainbow Dash's two front hooves few inches above the hard ground.
"What the hay?!" was all she could say after assuming what just happened to her
"Hi, sleepy head." said Rainbow trying to force a small smile on her face and stay cool.
The sky coloured pegasus mare shook her head then she hit Rainbow with one of her front hoof which made Rainbow drop her on the grass, after a few awkward seconds of silence the sky coloured pegasus stood up and began to yell.
"Are you crazy?! you could've killed me, What were you thinking?!"
Rainbow looked on the ground thinking what can she say. She knew the other pegasus was right, but it was only an accident
after all.
Dash looked at her but before she could say anything, she realized how beautiful the mare is in front of her. Her body colour was like the clear sky, her tail and mane was deep blue with white and light blue highlights in it and those amethyst eyes.., Rainbow couldn't look away once she looked into those wondrous eyes.
She finally got snapped out of it after a hoof landed on her face again.
"Would you stop staring at me and answer to my question?!"
Dash quickly recovered just like from the first hit, it still hurt but she knew that it was well deserved.
"Look i'm terribly sorry i-i was just doing my job and didn't see you on the cloud."
after few seconds later Dash continued.
"But nothing bad happened i caught you in time after all I'm the fastest flier in all of Equestria and you are alright but
still I'm so sorry."
"I guess you are right, after all i'm still alive."
"What's your name? i've never seen you before in Ponyville."
The sky coloured pegasus just shot in the air, but stopped to shout back at the grounded Rainbow Dash who realized only now, something weird about her wings while she was floating in the same place in the air.
"Sorry, I have to go but we will meet again some other time."
Rainbow just stood there alone speechless for a while.
Hours later when Dash finished her practice which didn't go as well as it suppose to be for some reason. She was still thinking about what happened earlier more precisely, about the mare whom she met "Something was weird about her wings".
Dash's house is larger than the normal cloud houses what you can find around Ponyville. After the hot shower, she was to about go to bed, but she heard a noise from downstairs.
*Knock knock
Few seconds later again.
*Knock knock
While Dash was heading down to open the door, she looked at the clock.
"Who can it be so late, it's almost 11pm, hope it's not Pinkie with one of her random things, but it can't be her she is away, Then who else can it be?"
Rainbow Dash opened the door and saw a figure in the dark, but something was really familiar about this person.
"Hey Dash, remember me?"
When she stepped out in the light Dash's jaw dropped on the cloud as she remembered what happened today afternoon.
"Hi, stranger with no name, who i knocked off from a cloud this afternoon, i already said sorry and i'd do it again if you wish, but anyway how did you know who and where i am? Because neither one of us was introduced ourselves to one another when we met if i remember well."
"Actually Twilight told me a lot about you."
"Where do you know Twilight from, no offence but she never mentioned you for us."
"Well, i lived in the Canterlot castle for 4 weeks, I met Twilight there and we talked and read a lot together, then there was an accident in the castle and i had to leave, that was the last time when i saw her but we kept writing to each other and i came to visit her as a surprise."
"ok, but still it doesn't explain why are you here?"
"ah, ye she is in the middle of some big experiment and i couldn't stay there so she said maybe you will allow me to sleep at your place for a few day while she finishes her experiment."
"Of Course only if it's ok with you, Twilight made me promise that i ask you before i go to someplace else in Ponyville and rent a room"
"What was Twilight thinking i don't even know her, what should i do with her anyway, i can't send her away Twilight trust me after all i'm the element of loyalty. I don't even know her name, but she is beautiful." While Dash was thinking, the other pegasus started to feel herself a bit uncomfortable.
"My name is Bright Sky, but my friends call me Sky and I'd fully understand if you would say no after all what happened in the afternoon, sorry about hitting you, so it was nice to meet you and sorry for bothering you with my problem, Bye."
Before Bright Sky could open her wings she felt a touch on in.
"Bright Sky Wait, of course i'll let you stay here, just give me a few seconds to prepare the guest room, and what happened
in the afternoon i'm sorry about that too, i should've been more carefull."
"Oh don't worry i already forgot about that, so thanks a lot Rainbow Dash and please call me Sky."
Dash cleared the guest room in ten seconds. After saying their good nights they both went to their beds and fell asleep.
Dash woke up in the middle of the night hearing some noise from outside. "Probably she using the toilet or something"
She tried to fall back to asleep then suddenly she heard a huge scream. Dash rushed to the other room as fast as she could and when she opened the door her eyes went wide open when she saw Sky was rolling in the bed one side to the another side while her eyes were open, screaming and kicking the air with her hooves.
"Sky what's wrong?"
When she didn't answer to Dash, she went to her bed and tried to hold her down to get her attention, she got a few hits from Sky's kicking hooves, but she ignored the pain and managed to hold her.
"Sky!.. Sky!!.. Sky wake up!!!" Dash was screaming as loud as she could at this hour of the night.
She finally stopped moving and shut her yes, when she opened them again her vision started to fill with tears.
"Sky are you alright?"
She didn't say anything just turned her face away while she was still crying.
"What's wrong?"
Sky's bright fur darkened by her tears.
"Sky if you don't tell me what's wrong i can't help."
"L.. Look Dash it was a stupid nightmare nothing to get upset about so please can you leave me alone?"
"No Sky, i won't leave until you tell me the truth or at least let me stay here with you, i don't want you leave here in a state like this."
"Thank you."
That's all what Sky could say forcing a small smile on her face while she was crying
Dash laid down in the bed next to Sky looking into her beautiful amethyst eyes and placed a hoof on her shoulder
"I'm s."
Before Sky could say anything more Dash placed her other hoof on her mouth and smiled at her.
"Don't say anything just sleep, everything is going to be fine."
In the morning Celestia's sun shone through the window, then the rays of it hit Dash's face
"Now i remember why i don't like to use this room" thought Dash as she slowly moved one of her hoof in front of her face so she could slowly open her eyes.
Sky's head was on Rainbow's right front hoof. "She is kinda cute when she sleeps" thought Dash as she slowly stroke the other mare's mane with his left hoof which waken up Sky.
"What are you doing?" asked Sky a with little blush on her face and pulled away from the other pegasus.
"I'm sorry, i couldn't resist you, you look so peaceful and cute." said Dash while a little blush appeared on her face.
"Wow did i hear it right, the most awesome pegasus used the word cute?"
Even if Dash wanted to take it back she couldn't because it was the truth.
"Can i get you something to eat?"
"Oh, no thanks Dash i don't want to waste your time on me, you probably have a lot of things to do like your weather job which more important then making me food what i can do myself too."
"Don't worry i have the rest of the week off and practice can wait, i'd be happy to get you something."
Dash lied but she wants to be here for her and she can take the week off anyway, nothing big got planned for the rest of the week, what the others couldn't handle without her.
"So would you like to eat some apple pie? i got it yesterday from Applejack's farm before she left to Fillydelphia
with the others."
"Yes i'd like some, thank you."
It took only twenty seconds to Dash to get two plate with few slices from the pie on them.
"Wow it's really good."
"Well it's from the best apples from all of Equestria so i hope you like it."
"Thanks for the food Dash but i have to go. I need to take care of a few things so, bye."
"Wait there is a spare key to the house near the door take it."
"Thanks, Bye Dash."
"Bye Sky."
After Sky left Rainbow did the dishes and headed to the library she really needed to talk with Twilight. When she got to the library there was a sign on the door "temporarily closed, please do not disturb".
*Knock Knock
After a few seconds of waiting, Dash stomped on the door harder.
"Spike please open the door. shouted Twilight from the basement."
"Hi Rainbow what's up? Are you here for more Daring Do books?"
"Hi Spike no, i came to see Twilight i really need to talk to her if she have a few minutes."
"I don't know Rainbow she is in the middle of some kind of experiment and she asked no to be disturbed, as you can read the sign on the door." Spike pointed on the sign.
"Spike who is there?" shouted Twilight.
"It's Rainbow Dash, she wants to talk with you. answered as loud as he could."
"Send her up to my room, i'll be up there in a few minutes."
Dash was tired a little so she laid down on Twilight's bed while she was waiting for her.
Twilight opened the door to her room
"Hey Dash what do you want to talk a-bout?"
A small smile appeared on Twilight's face when she saw Dash was sleeping and snoring a little.
She backed down slowly and closed the door.
"Spike, would you tell Dash i'll be in the basement when she wakes up?"
"Sure thing Twilight."
Dash woke up a bit confused when she looked at the clock it was 5 pm.
"How come Twilight didn't wake me up"
She was heading down to the hall when Spike came out from the kitchen carrying a bottle of ice cream in his hand.
"Does Twilight know about it?" asked Dash pointing at the ice cream.
"Oh, Dash, you finally wake up, Twilight asked me to tell you, she will be in the basement and whenever you wake up you can go down talk to her."
"Thanks Spike, but be careful, if Twilight finds out about that ice cream..."
"Ok, ok i put it back."
While Dash was heading to the basement door she heard Spike was saying something but didn't quite hear it.
"Twilight?"
No response came, so this time she used a little louder voice.
"Twilight are you here?"
"Oh hi Dash."
Twilight was sitting on a chair in front of the table full of books and boiling chemical stuffs in few tubes.
"I'm glad to see you finally woke up, did you sleep well?"
Twilight turned around slowly to face Dash. When Dash looked over Twilight she looked horrible, her mane was a complete mess, both of her eyes were bloodshot and there were huge bags under her eyes.
"Yes, sorry for using your bed."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Bright Sky."
"I'm so sorry Dash that i didn't say anything about her and sent her to you without a letter or something, but she just showed up, she is an old friend of mine and"
"Twilight." Dash knew what's coming and tried to stop it, but Twilight continued.
"as you can see i wouldn't have time for her and i hoped you will help me out for a few days while i finish, but if she bothers you"
"Twilight." Dash tried to interrupt in the speech This time a little louder but she still continued.
"i can find her a hotel or someplace for her to stay but i wanted her to be around with a friend i can trust and the others are out on that trip and you have a cloud house and she is a pegasus so i thought it would be fine."
"Twilight!!" Dash said loudly but tried not to yell at her friend.
"I'm sorry Dash."
"Twilight, it's ok i don't mind her staying."
"Thank you so much Dash."
"No problem Twi what are friends for, but are you alright? because you don't look so good."
"Ah, I'm fine maybe a bit tired, since Sky is here i wanted to finish this as fast as i can so i haven't slept since i sent her to you."
"Twilight you need to sleep i'll take care of her, i told you i don't mind."
"But.."
"No buts Twi if you force me i'll carry you up to your bed."
Twilight nodded, before they went up she turned off the fire under the tubes.
Few seconds later after Twilight hit the bed she was asleep, Dash placed the blanket on her body and planted a little kiss on her forehead like a mother to a little filly.
"Sleep well Twilight. Whispered Dash into Twilight's ear."
"She was up straight for 2 days, no wonder she was this tired" thought Dash.
"Spike take care of her. Said Dash while leaving the tree house."
Before flying home Dash decided to get some ice cream.
She looked around at the sky above Ponyville which was cloudless so the weather patrol did a good job without her. It was a beautiful sight, the sun was half way down under the horizon and part of the sky above Ponyville was coloured red orange and yellow towards the sun.
Dash went inside the house and saw the key on the table which she gave to Sky. "Looks like she is home"
She took a look in the guest room, Sky was sleeping so she went to her own room and ate a little ice cream before trying to fall asleep after all she slept through almost the whole day in Twilight's bed.
When she couldn't fall asleep, she took a Daring Do book which she got few days ago, but didn't have time to read it, so she opened the first part of the trilogy and began to read.
An hour later she heard some noise from the other room and Sky started to scream, she dashed through between the two room, it was just like yesterday night she was rolling in the bed and screaming.
Dash crawled in the bed next to Sky and hugged her as tough as she could, but tried not to hurt her, then whispered in her ear.
"Sky wake up, It's just a bad dream."
A few seconds later she stopped screaming and moving in Rainbow's strong hug. When she opened her eyes she faced with Dash.
Dash was thinking about what can she say to her, but nothing came to her mind when something unexpected happened.
Tears started to form in Sky's eyes, then she moved her head closer to Dash's and planted a long deep kiss on her lips.
When the kiss ended Dash pulled away which made Sky cry even more than before. Dash knew it was wrong and she can't take
advantage, Sky was hurt and needed someone to be there for her, but it was the right thing to do.
"No Sky, you don't want this at least not now."
Dash stood up from the bed and went back to her room, but she heard Sky's soft voice before she left her room while she was crying.
"I'm so sorry Dash."
While Dash was going to her bed and placed the blanket on her body she felt sorry for Sky, leaving her just like that, but she knew she was right to do it. Before Sky would do something else she would regret later.
About ten minutes later Dash was still awake when she heard a soft knock on her door.
"Please Dash can i come in?"
"Of course Sky."
Sky stepped in looking at Rainbow who couldn't face the other pegasus.
"I.I'm so sorry Dash i'm scared and i don't want to sleep alone again i don't want another nightmare I.I just can't bare
it anymore."
Dash looked at the crying pegasus holding the eye contact for a minute before she answered.
"Ok Sky, but you have to promise you won't do anything stupid."
"Thanks Dash, I'm so sorry that i'm such a mess."
Dash was looking at the pegasus the whole time as she walked to the bed and laid down on the other side.
Dash wanted to comfort her friend but didn't want to cross the line so she tried to do her best and moved closer to Sky and hugged her while she heard Sky is still crying.
"I'm sorry Dash."
"Don't worry, everything is going to be alright."
In the morning Sky tried to get out from the hug after she woke up but as she tried to do that, it made Dash to wake up who pulled
closer Sky.
"We need to talk about this Sky. she said in a soft voice whispering into her ear."
Sky turned around to face Dash.
"I'd rather do something else with you than talking about my problems."
She placed both of her front hooves on Dash's shoulders, Sky was on the top of her, she lowered her head to kiss Dash.
"Sky stop it, please, you have to talk about it otherwise i can't help you with these nightmares."
"I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO HELP ME! I DON'T NEED ANYONE'S HELP!" Sky was yelling, her eyes was filled with anger and pain.
"As you wish Sky, then i just go and tell Twilight. She will probably try to do something or send a letter to the Princess or i don't know she will figure out something."
Dash pushed Sky off her and sit down on the bed side. Sky was looking surprised and all the anger had been washed from her voice which was replaced by sadness when she spoke again.
"You can't do that, you can't tell this to Twilight."
Dash stood up and walked to the door. She almost left the house when she heard a voice from her room.
"Wait!."
Dash stood there while Sky got out from the bed and flew behind her and planted a hoof on Dash's shoulder.
"Please come back to the bed. I'll tell you everything."
She turned around and nodded, they went back to Dash's room and laid on the bed next to each other.
"So Dash i assume you noticed my wings not exactly normal. Sky extended her wings as far as she could to show Dash"
Dash stayed quiet and simply nodded again.
"Have you ever heard about the explosion what happened in canterlot castle where the south tower blew up."
"it was my fault"
Me and Twilight were only foals who lived in the castle and we were bored and wanted to go for adventures just like in the books we read. One day on the way to the library i looked on that strange door which was always guarded but this time no one was there. I was always curios what's in that tower which needs to be guarded all the time and only the princess was allowed to go in, so i stopped in front of the door. I wanted to go inside so badly so i opened the wooden door and started to walk up on the dark blue stairs.
The tower's windows were closed and sealed only a few torches on the wall lit up the darkness. Twilight tried to stop me several times she told me that it's not a good idea, but something kept me going up on the stairs, i heard a soft music and a gentle mesmerizing voice, I I just couldn't resist to it. When i got to the top of the stairs, there was wooden door with the same symbols on it just like the entrance door was, but smaller. The door opened by itself, the room was cold and as i walked in and torches lit up both sides of the walls, in the middle of the room there was a cage containing something in it i've never seen before. The cage was large enough to hold a manticore but it was filled with darkness. The creature inside spoke to me, i don't remember what it said exactly. It told me her name is Death Bringer and she waited long enough in that cage for someone to be her last victim then two red circle started to glow like fire in the cage.
Sky stopped for a few seconds as she remembered, a shiver ran through her whole body. She closed her eyes and small tear
fell on the bed.
I tried to run away but my legs didn't move, I tried to scream but no voice left my mouth. The air in the room became so hot i felt like my body was on fire then the cage exploded, before it happened she let go of me and i tried to fly away as fast as i could but then i saw Twilight standing there in the door and her eyes was replaced by a flash of white light, i saw as the fire passes by me, but i felt my wings caught on fire. Twilight protected the rest of my body and herself too by some sort of shield then she transported us to the Canterlot Garden right in front Princess Celestia who was looking at the place where the tower was a few seconds ago, dropping a few tears on the grass.
The next thing i remember waking up in the hospital, Twilight was sleeping next to Princess Celestia. The Princess told me she had to remove a part of my wings from both sides but i should be able to fly once i get older and give time to my wings to recover but it's never going to be as long as any other pegasus's wings, then she told me 9 names who died because of me, by the falling parts of the exploded tower and one more who would be still alive if i don't go up.
She looked into Dash's eyes.
"Nightingtale, Shadow Maker, Star Light, Clear Sky, First Aid, Night Watch, Shining Star, Raindrop, Golden Guard and
Death Bringer"
Sky turned away and got out from the bed before she left the room, she turned around to look at Rainbow Dash.
- Since I saw Twilight again, I dream about what happened that day, I hear those names over and over by Death Bringer's voice torturing me then a shadow appears in front of me with red glowing eyes laughing at me and whispering those names. I can't move or scream while i don't wake up and I like you, what happened last night after i woke up, I wanted it to happen, I wanted to feel something else than scared and ashamed for once and the way you look at me now, I know this look, disgusted by me that's why i left Canterlot a week after the explosion because the ponies who knew what happened looked the same way at me as you do right now and i couldn't bare it any longer, so i asked Princess Celestia to send me somewhere else to continue my studies where no one knows me or knew what i've done.
"I understand you don't want a murderer in your house so i better leave."
Rainbow was staring at her speechless, she didn't know what to say to her.
"But before i leave no matter how much you hate me now please don't tell Twilight what I've just said today, if she asks tell her i had to go back to Las Pegasus. Good Bye Dash."
Tears were falling from Sky's eyes as she left the house and began her journey to Las Pegasus.
She loved Dash ever since she woke up in her hooves her scent, her wonderful magenta eyes, she read a lot about her in Twilight's letters, but she never thought Dash is so beautiful, friendly and caring.
After sky left the house Dash was still sitting on the bed without knowing what to do. She spent hours sitting there which felt like minutes to her. She looked beneath her and saw a large wet spot on the cloud bed. First she thought it was Sky's tears but she realized it was her own, a few drop of tears fell from her wet cheek into it, before she could get to the bathroom to wash her face she heard a knock on the door. "Maybe Sky came back?, Did she change her mind?" she rushed to the door and opened it but instead of Sky she was greeted by Twilight.
"Hey Dash, is Sky h. before Twilight couldn't finish her sentence when she realized how horribly Dash looks like.
"Ahm, Dash are you alright?"
"Yes Twi I'm fine, I just need to do." She stopped for a moment. "something."
"Dash were you crying?"
"Ah come on Twilight you are talking about the most awesome pegasus in all of Equestria, i'd never cry."
"Come on Dashie, maybe you can fool a few pony folk with this, but not me, your mouth says no, but your face says yes, just tell me what's the problem maybe i can help, you don't have to hide your feelings from me we are friends."
"Seriously Twilight not now i have to go."
Twilight sighed loudly and rolled her eyes.
"At least before you go can you tell me where is Sky?"
Dash looked on the cloud under her.
"I can't but if you have some sort of "pony finding spell" i can bring her back."
"What do you mean bring her back? What di." She couldn't finish her sentence because Dash's hoof landed in her mouth interrupting her.
"Twi please stop with the questioning and start the spellcasting."
After a few seconds as they were looking at eac hother Twilight's horn began to glow, Dash removed her hoof and something hit her, after the hit from the unicorn's horn her head hurt a little, when she opened her eyes the sparkling path which looked like made by threads floating across the air almost blinded her.
"What the hay is this Twilight? I asked for some searching spell not to blind me."
"It's not my fault, you asked for it and this is the only one i know about and it's not my fault, that the most awesome pegasus in all of Equestria fell in love."
"What are you talking about?"
"Ok let me explain, the spell i used on you amplifying by your emotions, the stronger you feel for the other pony who you are looking for the brighter the thread is which bonds you to her. It only works for twenty-four hours so you better get going, good luck Dash."
Dash opened her eyes once again slowly and tried to get used to it.
"Thanks Twi, Bye."
And the pegasus shot faster in the air than ever before in her life.
"Do i really love her?"
Sky have been flying almost 10 hours straight she wanted to get as far from Ponyville as she could, she stopped only a few times to drink and eat something her body was exhausted. Half of the sun was under the horizon so she decided to stop to sleep on a cloud which was big enough to hold even two pegasus, so she fell asleep on it.
Dash was a fast flyer but she knew she won't be able to fly far in full speed, when the sun went down under the horizon her vision became a little bit better but the beam of light was still strong and the closer she got to Sky the light's intensity became stronger.
Sky was dreaming again, but now it was different she was happy, in the bed by Rainbow Dash's side. They both leaned forward and kissed each other. Then something changed, Dash's eyes began to glow in red.
"I love you, you little murderer." Said Dash in Death Bringer's voice.
"No this can't be."
Sky backed away from Dash.
"Clear Sky."
Dash stood up and started to circle around her.
"Please stop it."
"Star Light."
"STOP THIS!"
The bed disappeared and she fell on grass, a graveyard rose underground from the land and 10 gravestones appeared around her.
"Shadow Maker."
"I can't take this anymore."
She woke up looking at the cloud where she slept a few seconds ago getting further as she was falling." I want this to end once and for all, i can't do this anymore, I-I WANT TO DIE!."
"Sky don't do this!" screamed Dash far away but Sky could hear it in the quiet night.
"I WANT TO DIE!!!". Screamed as the ground became closer.
Dash started to fall in angle to gain more speed when she realized Sky is falling too fast to catch her in the air. The air is started to form around Dash's body just like before she breaks the sound barrier and creates the sonic rainboom. Sky's body was only few hooves above the ground when Dash caught her but she couldn't pull up and crashed to the ground as they were rolling on the grass the were stopped by a tree which broke Dash's left wing in the a tree which broke Dash's left wing in the collision. Dash slowly opened her eyes if they are still alive. Sky was laying between Dash's four hoof with a few cuts on her body but she seemed fine physically.
"You are such an idiot Dash. Why would you do this? Why would you risk your own life for a worthless murderer like me?"
Sky stood up and looked at the still moveless Dash who looked like she is in a really bad shape her left wing was a real mess the broken bone cut through her skin, blood was coming out from the open wound and from a few other places on her body.
"Dash are you alright?"
Dash looked on her back at the broken wing.
"I've been in worse shape before, don't worry, a few weeks and the sky will be mine again and i love you."
Sky took a step back.
"What?! But those ponies died because of me, how can you love me, you don't even know me."
Dash stood up without paying attention to the pain, walked next to Sky and pulled her face in for a long passionate kiss.
When Dash broke the kiss Sky took another step back.
"I know enough that it wasn't your fault what happened back then, you were only a little filly who didn't know better. You shouldn't let one mistake ruin your whole life."
"Why are you doing this?"
"I want you to come home with me and because, i love you."
A few drop of tears escaped from Sky's eyes then this time it was her who started the kiss, they were interrupted by a flash of light and a popping sound.
"Good evening Rainbow Dash and Bright Sky, Oh I'm terrible sorry if i'm interrupting."
Dash turned her head to the new arrival.
"Hi Princess, it's nice to see you."
When Sky heard how Dash called the Dark mare she immediately bowed down in front of the Princess.
"Oh Bright Sky there is no need to do that, between friends i don't like these formalities anyway."
"Is there anything we can help you Princess?"
Luna let out a small laugh.
"The element of loyalty, you truly live up to your title Rainbow Dash even when you are badly hurt you thinking about helping me, but this time I think it is me who can help the both of you."
Luna's horn glowed and healed Rainbow's broken wing and sealed the other wounds which covered their bodies.
"Twilight Sparkle wrote a letter to my sister, that she is worried about the two of you. But as Princess of the Night, it's my duty to make sure our subjects are safe under my night sky."
"Luna if it's alright can you teleport us to my house, I don't think we have the strength to fly that far. I'm sure Sky feels the same way about it."
"Dash are you sure?"
"Why would you rather fly back to Ponyville?"
"That's not what i meant."
"Of Course Rainbow Dash, but i need to talk with Bright Sky under four wings if it's alright."
"As you wish Luna."
Rainbow Dash disappeared and Luna turned to Sky.
Luna stared at Sky for a long time without saying a word. Sky started to feel nervous so she broke the silence.
"Princess may i ask what do you want to talk about?"
"I've wanted to tell you something what i couldn't in front of Rainbow Dash, if you wish to tell her what am i about to say it's going to be your choice."
"I Don't know why your nightmares returned now, but if you don't let go of them or forgive yourself what happened that day, It will eat you alive, you were lucky tonight Rainbow Dash saved you, but she won't be there all the time and she was right about what she told you, but I have to tell you something what i hope will help you."
Luna turned away and looked at the moon before she began.
"Death Bringer was my creation, a thousand years ago she led my armies against my sister's, i ordered her before i was banished to the moon if she ever gets captured by my sister try to kill and hurt as many ponies as she can do. Those nine ponies and you were the last victims of Nightmare Moon's rage."
"My sister told me what happened to you earlier today when i wanted to go for the search after you and Rainbow Dash. She felt that i'm not strong enough to handle these things after the elements of harmony purified my heart from Nightmare Moon, so she didn't tell me but couldn't wait any longer. For one and a half year I didn't leave the castle or spoke to anyone else except my sister, so she wanted to wait while i open my heart again, on Nightmare Night's eve thanks to Twilight Sparkle who thought me so much, I allowed friendship in my heart, she saved me, you have to allow to Rainbow Dash to do the same for your own safety."
When Luna finished she turned back to Sky.
"Princess"
Please call me Luna.
"Luna thank you for telling me this, but it was my choice to go and open the doors. Twilight tried to stop me but i didn't listen to her."
"Oh Sky, I don't think you fully understand, Death Bringer was powerful enough to influence other ponies mind if they were close, just like Nightmare Moon, but it's much easier to corrupt a little, sweet and innocent foal's mind like you were, maybe you think it was your choice but it wasn't."
"Thank you Luna, is there anything else you want to talk about, because it's been a long day and i'm really tired no offence."
"Only one more thing Sky, I hope you can forgive me some day what happened to you and what you had to live through because of my mistakes what i made in the past."
"I'm sorry that i couldn't tell you this sooner and you had to suffer for my mistakes."
"I believe you understand, it will take some time."
"I do"
"Can you take me home?"
"To Las Pegasus?"
A smile appeared on Sky's face before she answered.
"No"
