Author's note: They're going to be humans in this story, because the pony form is a bit restrictive. The angels are like the pegasi, and they control the weather. The mages are like the unicorns, and they use magic- sometimes they use a staff if advanced in magic. The normal humans are like Earth Ponies.


Luna's P.O.V

It has been six years since Tirek's defeat. I'll never forget what has happened last week- the Everfree Forest has been bombed so that Celestia can allow for another city to be built. She becomes more paranoid about potential threats to the throne, and starts taking the wrong path- that means that she's making days last longer, and she has even decreed for the night to only last three hours, or else I would be sent to the moon again.

I feel bad for the people, and they need sleep. I will tell the events during the bombing, for I have drifted off topic. It all started one morning when Celestia is writing new laws that could potentially be too restrictive for the people's freedom.

Flashback

Celestia mentions the Everfree Forest as she speaks with the builders. "Bomb up the Everfree Forest without warning so that we could build another city," She said.

"Of course," They replied as they walk out of the throne room.

"Our kingdom will be more expanded," Celestia whispered to herself. There is a devious smile on her face.

I realize her intentions as I start to confront her. "Stop! There are some innocents in the forest! And if somebody is in there for a reason, like looking for animals, for example, then they could suffer from the bombing!" I said, "Reconsider your intentions, Celestia!"

"Get out of my face, you low-life night bitch!" She retorted as she activates her staff.

Flames flicker out of her staff as she points it at me. "Do you want to go back to the moon?!" Celestia threatened.

"No! What if our subjects have fears or problems that need to be solved using my advice in their dreams? Like what has happened with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle!" I replied.

"Get out, if you don't want to go to the fucking moon."

I fly out of the throne room to check on the Everfree Forest. As I get closer to the forest, I keep at a safe distance so that I wouldn't be killed in the bombing. I notice Fluttershy chasing a few bunnies into the forest for a reason. "Fluttershy! Get out of the forest! It's going to be really unsafe in less than a flash!" I warned.

However, Fluttershy does not heed my warning as the bombing starts. All of the trees are bombed, including the Castle of the Royal Sisters. Still feeling offended by my sister's words, I choose to go back home.

End of flashback

And that is what happened to some of the innocent victims. The bombing is very lethal, as I can remember. I fly into the small town, and some of the people seem to appreciate my presence more than they did last time during Nightmare Night. The blazing heat of the sun beats down on the people's skin, and the hot air is enough to make someone suffer from heatstroke.

The hot air is unbearable, and it isn't easy to breathe in this kind of heat. A mortal's heart would beat harder than the immortal's heart when the person senses extreme heat. The air conditioning bill has gotten worse for the people because they often go inside to cool off from the seemingly endless heat.

Some of the people seem very tired because of not enough sleep, all because of Celestia decreeing that people shall work harder and longer. Some people lose their jobs if they don't work hard, and as a result, some of them work in the mines. The mines can be very dangerous, as bombings happen in there too. I fly to Twilight's Friendship Castle, and I knock the door as I land.

Twilight opens the door, and she looks as if she's not doing very good- she seems tired. "Come on in," She said.

"How are you?" I asked.

"I'm really tired, and so are my friends. Rainbow Dash has turned her back on us, and Fluttershy... She's gone..."

She starts sobbing as I place my arms around her in a comforting way. There are times when I act as a motherly figure, especially right now. "I don't really understand why Celestia would allow for such things to happen. I bet Zecora's gone too," Twilight said, "And Apple Jack blames the drying crops on the blazing heat because the rain doesn't come anymore. And Pinkie Pie is aggravated about not being able to throw an all-night slumber party."

"And does Rarity have any thoughts on what is happening?" I asked.

"Oh... Well, she couldn't handle the heat. And Scootaloo... She lives alone once again because Rainbow Dash never gives her attention at all. Scootaloo is afraid that she may be taken to an orphanage where she'll never see Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle ever again. Their school days also last longer until night time."

"That's not good for them. I mean, they're young, and they're supposed to grow up well."

"I agree. So, why are you here?"

"Because I am thinking of creating a group against Celestia. Celestia has been acting more cruel because of her fear of potential usurpers. She will never stop until she realizes her actions."

Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity walk in a second later. "The heat is so dreadful and bothersome," Rarity complained.

"The crops aren't getting any better," Apple Jack said.

"That would mean no more slumber parties and no more party food," Pinkie added in.

"And we're talking about forming a group against Celestia. We'll start with a letter trying to convince her," Twilight suggested.

"I'm not sure if I would go with that suggestion. Celestia could strip you of immortal status or worse," I warned Twilight.

"I'm not afraid of her," She told me.

"Are you totally sure? Celestia would burst to flames if she ever becomes angry or when someone asks her about the harsh laws."

"I would want to risk that."

Twilight takes out a paper and a pencil, and starts writing. "Maybe the sun princess would change her mind when she looks at the letter," Pinkie said cheerfully.

"I'm not so sure," Apple Jack said.

"She would threaten to make the day last forever. That would mean no more sleep for my poor little sister," Rarity agreed.

"I think there is a place where we could live for a while. I sense that war is coming, girls. We should form our colony on the moon," I suggested.

"How do we survive on the moon?" Rarity asked.

"There will be oxygen, food, water, and there is even a place to sleep at. The palace on the moon has many, many rooms and multiple dining halls."

"And will the crops be planted there, even though there's not enough light?" Apple Jack asked.

"Of course, as long as they get adequate water," I replied.

"And will there be parties?" Pinkie asked.

"I'm not sure," I replied, "This isn't a time for parties."

"Oh..."

"But that's okay. We'll stop the Solar Empire soon."

Pinkie smiles once more, and hugs me for a second. She then sits down on the chair. I watch as Twilight finishes her letter. "Spike, send it to Celestia," She told Spike.

Spike takes a deep breath as he breathes green fire on the letter. The letter disappears as a result.


Normal P.O.V

Celestia scowls for a minute as a letter appears in front of her. She opens the letter, and starts reading. "Dear Princess Celestia, I know you want us to work harder- but make the day last much longer?! People need some sleep, and if they don't, then they'll suffer from extreme exhaustion, and not to mention the blazing heat. Fluttershy even suffered in the forest's bombing, and the people that are in there didn't come out alive because you want to make another city. Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle," She said.

"How dare she question me?!" Celestia asked as she burns the scroll into pieces with her fiery powers, "She'll come here today! Guards, get Twilight and bring her here! She questioned my authority!"


Twilight's P.O.V

"I'm not sure how she would react. You did make a few questions though," Luna said.

"I told you that I wouldn't be afraid," I replied.

"Here's a letter from Celestia! It says that the guards will take you to her," Spike told me as a few guards rush into the living room. They take my arms, and they start to drag me.

Rainbow Dash is near the car, and she is wearing armor that is like the Solar Guard's armor. She has a smug smirk on her face as she notices me being forced into the back of the car. "Rainbow Dash, I don't understand why you betrayed your friends!" I said, "Do you really want to see me executed?!"

"Of course. You questioned her authority, now she will punish you!" She remarked as Luna approaches her with a stern expression.

"Ahem," Luna said.

"What? I'm allowing for Twilight to get punished," Rainbow replied, "Get out of my face!"

"That is disrespectful! You don't say that to a royal!"

"And you don't turn into Nightmare Moon to get my princess!"

"Excuse me?!"

"Excuse me, so called princess!"

"You are crossing the line."

"How am I crossing the line?"

"Because I know you're trying to really offend me."

"Shut up." Rainbow crosses her arms and gives Luna a dirty look.

Luna sighs with anger as she tells her to stop, or else. "I'm not amused," She said.

"That's priceless!" Rainbow Dash hollered as she starts laughing, "Your reaction!"

"Quit it."

"Don't be rude to her!" I told Rainbow Dash.

"You can't tell me what to do," She retorted.

The guards then chain my wrists behind my back so that I couldn't escape. Now I feel like a damsel in distress- almost, actually.
