Judging you silently >The stars, the stars you had once controlled >What had you done to deserve this? >You just wanted everyone to appreciate these stars >Your night >And now, it was almost as if they hated you >You ask yourself again >What had you done to deserve this? >You shouldn't be here >Your sister should >After this, you didn't want to call her your sister >She'd banished you >And for what? >Because you wanted to change? >You just wanted to prove that you could be as strong as she was >That you could do so much more >You wanted her dead >You wanted to throw the moon into the planet below >But you couldn't >Not that you couldn't bring yourself to it, but you physically couldn't >You tried with all your might to move the rock from your feet >But nothing >Not a slight motion >Not one that you had any influence over >It was moving on it's own accord >Or perhaps not >There was only one who could possibly do this >Celestia >Was moving your moon? >As if this... Banishment >This punishment >This unjust imprisonment wasn't enough >She'd stolen your moon >The moon was yours, she had no right! >You were furious >And yet... There was nothing you could do about it >You were just here now >Alone... >With the rocks, and the craters and the dust to entertain yourself >You looked over the horizon, gazing at the world below >It was so colourful >The green grass, the blue oceans, the white swirling clouds creating patterns in the sky >It was dawn over Equestria >Over the castle that you and Celestia called home >Home >Oh dear, how you wished you could go back >How you wished that you weren't here >How you wished Celestia had been the one who was stuck on the moon >How you wished that she were the one who could look upon her home >Helpless >Unable to feel the grass against her hooves >Unable to feel the wind against her face >To see the creatures of the world >Those who would be awake during the day >But most importantly, those who you would see at night >You wanted to make them happy too >You wanted to give them as much time to enjoy this world as possible >Celestia always favoured her creatures of the day >They always got more time to spend exploring the world >Even during the winter months when the days were shorter, the nights still didn't seem long enough >You missed them very much >You just wanted the best for them >Eternal night >Then everyone could enjoy the night >Those who already saw it >And those who missed it >You just wanted them to appreciate what you did >The work you had put towards this >You sighed >What were you to do here? >You reached your hoof in front of you, creating a single vertical line in the dust >You reached your hoof in front of you, creating a single vertical line in the dust >Day 1 >You might as well start counting >Day 2 >Although you weren't very sure >It always felt like daytime >The sun was always shining on the moon >The two were opposite each other >Synchronised as they rotated around the world below >Celesita >Controlling the two at once >Controlling them in the same motion >The sun and the moon used to dance with one another >They used to play with one another >When you and Celesita were younger, you used to have fun together >Your moon would always be faster than her sun >Your moon was a lot lighter and smaller than her sun >Also, a lot closer >She had always told you this >But that didn't change your attitude >Whenever you gloated about beating Celestia >How you could make the moon cross the path of the Sun >And no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do the same >You relished in that fun >Those days >Those nights you spent together >You tried to spent the day with Celestia on multiple occasions >You brought the moon along with you >It wasn't as brilliant in the day, but that didn't matter >You just wanted it to share some of her day time >And yet Celestia? >Whenever did she spend the night with you >Not once did she bring her sun to join your moon when it reigned over the world >You were always second best >And now you weren't even that >Now, the moon would never meet the sun again >They would forever stand a distance from each other >Unable to touch >Unable to meet >Always looking out and longing for the other >...Just as you looked out and longed for home >Just as you wished you could see Celestia again >You had been here for but a day and you already missed home >You already missed your bed >You already missed sitting by a nice, warm fire >You missed... Almost everything about home >These rocks would simply not suffice >And the dust in your mane was unacceptable >You wanted your pillow back >Your warm quilts >Your soft duvet >You wanted to be back home >A tear in your eyes >Why were you here? >You had asked yourself this yesterday >Celestia had pushed you away >She had been a terrible sister >You just wanted to spend time with her >But no >She didn't have time for you >She was too busy >Or too tired >Not enough time for your own sister >For you >She should be here >For being... >For being a terrible sister! >Yes, that was it >Terrible sisters deserve to be banished to the moon! >...Then what did that make you? >No, you were an honest mistake >You weren't a terrible sister >You weren't evil >You were just... >You wanted what was best >You had good intentions >Celesita couldn't see it that way >She never could see your way, could she? >Maybe if she'd paid more attention to you, she would understand >And maybe you wouldn't be here >Maybe she would have talked to you >Rather than just... Banishing you to the moon! >What had you done to deserve this >You hadn't done anything >You just wanted your moon to share the day with her sun >Like when you were younger >To remind her of those times you had >And then she... >... >Then you weren't sure what happened >All you remember was arriving here >Strange, you thought >It was almost as if something else had happened >You could have sworn something else had happened >But you couldn't recall >Strange
