>Some time later, you hear hoofsteps. You roll over and pretend to be asleep.
>After a lengthy pause, the clip-clop sound approaches your bed.
"Anon, are you asleep"?
>You don't reply, but she continues anyway.
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for what I said at the castle.
>I didn't realize how hurtful it was to say I didn't want you to live here.
>I really don't know anything about you. It never occurred to me you were
>a person I could just ask. I'm going to start right now, and the first
>thing I want to know is, Will you ever forgive me"?
>The hoofsteps fade into the night.
>Can you ever forgive her?
>That's the last question on you mind before you drift off to sleep.
 
>You thought sleep could give you a short reprieve from fact you
>were now in a world completely inhabited by small horses.
>That was wrong.
>You find yourself standing next to a large dark blue one with wings and
>horn, same as the others.
>Celestia was taller than you; Twilight was shorter.
>This one could look you directly in the eye.
"Greetings, new citizen. I am Princess Luna".
"I thought Celestia was the leader around here".
"Humpf, I know she gives that impression, but it's really more of
a timeshare. She wouldn't be in power so long if 'twas not for me
taking care of everypony's subconscious issues, which is why I am here.
Your dreams were very troubled".
>She was right about that.
>It was weird talking to one of them in your dreams,
>but what did you have to lose?
"Luna, I thought that escaping my old life would be a dream come true.
Now that I have, it's lonely. I'm the only one".
"You are not so alone as you think, young human. I too, am an outcast.
One thousand years ago, I tried to overthrow my sister out of jelousy.
She banished me to the moon, and even though I was allowed to come
back, I may never be trusted as I once was".
That sounds rough, but it doesn't really make you feel better.
What did you do to deserve this?
"Nothing, sometimes things just happen. The only thing we can control
is what we make of it".
"How-"
"did I read your thoughts? I am already in your dreams. Reading minds
is a parlor trick in comparison. And one last thing, The fact I am
here proves your mind is not so different from those around you.
You have much more in common with ponies than you think".
>You sit down and think about what you've heard.
"Princess Lu--"
>But she's gone.
