- >Day 1
- >At least, this is what you were going to call it
- >It was only a few hours ago that you woke up and realised what happened
- >The last thing you had seen was a bright light and now here you were
- >The dull, grey surface of the moon
- >A coat of dust stuck to your fur
- >The sky wasn't like that of your home world
- >It wasn't a deep shade of blue
- >The stars didn't shimmer
- >They didn't appear to have any patterns or significance
- >It was just black
- >Pitch black
- >And the stars didn't seem warm and welcoming from here
- >They were like eyes
- >Constantly looking at you
- >You hoped for the day
- >You hoped for clouds to block their vision
- >But they were there
- >Almost... 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
