A few months have passed since the red guardian Twilight Tara Sparkle came to Equestria, and saved it from Nightmare Moon and her monster Trevelyan, and even freed her pony counterpart, who turned out to be alive, and had her legs replaced with scissor legs thanks to Nightmare Moon. Tara decided to stay on Equestria and move with Spike at the dragon lands, to make it a nice place for dragons. She even turn into a dragon herself.
Twilight Sparkle was traumatized after the events that occured, although she was happy to be herself again, she still lost her legs. Under Nightmare Moon's control, Twilight endured pain which cause her to go insane with with scissor legs. Thankfully, she got them taken off and had metal surgical implanted legs to have her feel normal. Unfortunately, they weren't the same. She felt like paying for crimes for what she's done, but everyone forgave her too fast. Celestia had offered leniency to her sister Luna, but Luna chose to pay for her crimes as Nightmare Moon now that she was purified.
One day... Twilight Sparkle, sleeping on her bed, she was in a nightmare, her heavy breathing, sweat and heart racing woke her up as she yelled. "Not again!"
"Twilight, what's wrong." Right beside Twilight, on her bed, was her coltfriend, Flash Sentry, one of cadence's guards from the crystal empire. He saw fear in Twilight's eyes. "Is it that nightmare again?"
"The same, Flash." Twilight said. "Ever since i got free from Luna's control, I've been seeing too much fear in my friends' eyes." She shed a few tears. "I... I'm too scared to sleep, knowing I'll just keep seeing what I use to be."
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Flash asked.
"I wish you could stay. I could really use your love to comfort me." Twilight replied.
"I want too, really I do, but I have duties back at the crystal empire." Flash said. "And this my final week."
"I understand." Twilight said. "But, there's something else you should know."
"I think I know what it is." Flash said. "Pinkie Pie told me everything."
Twilight was a little surprised. "She did, then you know..."
"Yes. She has a crush on you, and I have noticed you've spend a lot of time with her these last 2 weeks." Flash said. "She really makes you happy doesn't she?"
"Don't take it the wrong way Flash. But Pinkie had always made me happy before my incident, but lately, when she confronted me, I felt something warm inside of me." Twilight explained. "But that doesn't mean I don't need you."
"I know, but Twilight, I just want you to be happy, and if Pinkie can do that while I'm gone, then that's okay." Flash said. "I do love you, but I can tell when you find somepony that makes you feel special. Follow your heart when I leave the ejxt day."
Twilight shed a tear from her eye and Flash wiped it off. "I'll try." She said. She kissed him and they shared an intimate sleep together.
Later that night...
Twilight left the treebrary and went to Canterlot Castle. inside she opens a certain door and started walking down the stairways to the dungeon, took a glimpse at the cells and imagine herself in there, paying her crimes. She then sigh. She then went to a special dungeon cell where it felt like a room Celestia would decorate. She walked close to the cell and said... "Hello Princess Luna."
Luna, Princess of the moon, younger sister to Princess Celestia, was serving her time, paying for her crimes as Nightmare Moon. "Twilight Sparkle?" She asked in shock. Remembering what she did to her. "What are you doing here?" She then shook her head. "No, wait, Why are you doing here?"
"I wanted to talk to you, princess." Twilight said. "You see, every night, I kept having the same nightmare over and over again. And I know you have access to those dreams. And I wanted to ask you, have you been having nightmares too?"
Princess Luna looked guilty, but she then nodded. "Yes. But sometimes they keep turning into good dreams. I reveled in my madness as Nightmare Moon, but my suspicious keeps reminding me I am not her. And I'm scared to admit that part of me is right. That I'm not Nightmare Moon, and that I'm not evil." Luna shed some tears. "And I even reveled in... What I've done to you. And I am truly, truly sorry for what I have done to you."
"I know your sorry, and I forgive you, but... I to, enjoyed being all crazy and bent on destroying my friends, that human version of me, and Celestia." Twilight said. "My stupid obsession with magic and perfection made me snapped when I lost my legs, and I felt like I could never be the same again."
"You cannot blame yourself Twilight, that was my fault. And I am willing to pay the price." Luna added. "That's why I told my sister to keep me in here. Although, she tried to make it feel like my room."
"I wanna be locked up too." Twilight said. "Everypony in Equestria has forgiven me, but I don't feel it. My friends told me they don't care if I was crazy, they were just happy I was alive."
"You have to adapt to this new form of life, Twilight Sparkle. And I will too, once I pay for my crimes. I asked Neighsay to sentence me to 5 years in here, but unfortunately, he only sentence me to 1 year, everypony is willing to forgive me me, but I can't. Not yet."
Twilight breath med through her muzzle. "Okay Princess Luna, I will try. For my friends." She then walked away back upstairs. "Do you think you can truly forgive yourself after everything?"
"That is question I have to answer myself." Luna said. "Take care."
Twilight nodded and then left back to Ponyville.
The next day...
Twilight had just said goodbye to Flash Sentry as he left back to the Crystal Empire. She was sad, but she tried looking at Ponyville with a smile. She decided to go see her friends. She started with Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie was in Sugercube Corner, in the basement was a wrestling arena she uses for boxing. "Hi Pinkie." Twilight said, walking in.
"Oh, hey, Twilight. How's it going?" Pinkie asked, punching a sandbag.
"Everything is going okay, but I had something to ask you." Twilight replied, walking towards the pink boxer.
"Sure, what is it?" Pinkie asked.
"Is it true you told Flash about... Us?" Twilight asked.
Pinkie was surprised. She was then quiet. "Well... Yeah. But he pinkie promised not to tell you to spare your feelings."
"I guess it didn't matter if he was going to leave back to the Crystal Empire." Twilight said. "But he said he's okay with us... Well, dating. And to be honest Pinkie... You made me very happy, and I started having feelings for you."
"Whoa, really?" Pinkie asked. "To be fair Twilight, ever since you came back to us, and started fixing yourself. I just wanted to make you happy. And I did had a crush on you because you had a very cool, ripped body when you were working out."
"Well, I was trying to be like Tara since she's a human, now turn dragon, version of me." Twilight said. "But still Pinkie, I really like you, as in love you."
Pinkie cheered with joy and squealed. "I love you too Twilight!" She then hopped on Twilight and kisses her on the lips. Twilight embraced it.
Later...
Twilight and Pinkie were walking out of Sugercube Corner, and they were holding hands. Someponies took noticed and they were mares that are couples too. "So, should we tell the others?"
"Not yet. I wanna convince Fluttershy to put on her sweater again before i do." Twilight said. "She's been in her birthday for a month and refused to out it back on."
"That's because of Treehugger." Pinkie said.
"I know." Twilight said. "Come, let's get to the power ponies HQ."
"Okie-doki-loki... Baby." Pinkie said, making Twilight blush.
"Rarity has made me a new costume that will go with my statues as leader of the power ponies." Twilight said.
"Oooh, awesome. I bet Dashie will be jealous." Pinkie remarked.
"Maybe. I haven't tested it out yet." Twilight said as she and Pinkie got off the elevator. "Since my... You know, I still have the magical powers that even Trevelyan had once. And I'm scare.to use it, when he used it on Tara, it was unimaginable."
"I understand." Pinkie said. "Dashie and Rarity told me about it. They were on Earth with her."
"That's good. I never saw earth but Tara and I had a magical connection and I saw what her world looks like." Twilight said, as she found her suit and prepares to put it on. "My suit has a magic containment amplifier that allows me to control my intense magic. I'm going to do some target practice and I'll need your help."
"Very well babe." Pinkie said. "Let's begin."
