I had disappointed Celestia, and now the time had come to pay the price. I bowed before her, having reached her throne, and waited for judgement to fall.

"Twilight Sparkle. Rise, and come forth," Celestia called out into the silent hall.

The tone had a finality to it. I disliked the new Celestia. But what she had asked of me, I would wish on nopony. There was no question of my defiance. But what have I gained for it all? My mentor now felt a thousand worlds away, and I had never been so alone. That...That filthy request still echoed in my head.

Still, putting up a shield of bravery I couldn't back up, I stepped forward. I couldn't be afraid, not now. I had done the deed, and now I would face the music, and gladly.

"Twilight Sparkle, you are charged with heresy and treason against the fair land of Equestria. What say you in your defense," Celestia continued, as if talking to somepony of much lower stature.

What could I say? What should I have said? What I said...

"You're the one betraying me, not the other way around. What we had...You threw it away. For what? A single touch. You lusted for it so badly, and now that you've gotten just a touch, you've changed. You don't...love me anymore. You aren't the same," I cried in fury and pain.

I knew bringing up their relationship now, like this, would have repercussions. Perhaps I would be sent out, exiled from Equestrian lands for the rest of my life. Or maybe, I would be executed, right here and now. She certainly looked angry enough right now.

"You are a disgrace to ponies everywhere. Any other pony would grovel for weeks without end for what I had asked of you-" Celestia began.

I cut her off, not very careful of my own safety anymore. "I'M NOT ANY OTHER PONY!"

I almost screamed at her, showing flat defiance to everything she stood for. I was now her enemy. She understood that.

"Twilight Sparkle of Canterlot, if I were to send you out of the land now, you would simply raise an army to de-throne me. If I were to kill you now, you would become a martyr of anyone else that might plot against me. That leaves me with only one choice. I'm sorry it has come to this, my student." Celestia stated flatly.

With that, magic unlike any I had ever felt washed over me. I didn't know what was going on, so I was afraid. Before I could move, it was over. Before me, however, was no longer Celestia, and I was obviously no longer in Equestria. Or, for that matter, anywhere on the same planet.

She had sent me...to the moon.

Author's Note

I've read a few fics, none of the ones I can find touch on sending anypony to the moon. So, that's what I did. Sue me.

EDIT: I realized an entire paragraph was in the wrong person, so I fixed it. Sorry, should've checked myself before I wrecked myself.
