One evening, Zelda and Link were prepared for the gala, and so were their friends. Zelda's hair was perfectly styled and brushed, and her bangs were braided. She looked beautiful, although she didn't like being formal. She wore the gala dress, and Link wore a tuxedo. Link's hair was slicked back to seem more handsome and formal, although he didn't like the look. The two entered the castle's ballroom, and they met up with Twilight and her friends.

Twilight wore a hot pink dress with a few purple bows on the back of her cape. Her shoes match the color of the dress, and she wore the gold crown with magenta gems. There were also magenta gems on her shoes.

Rarity wore a red dress with a silver petticoat, and her hair was perfectly styled into a bun, with her bangs curled. Rainbow Dash wore a colorful dress, and Fluttershy wore a pastel blue dress with flowers on it. Pinkie wore a gigantic hot pink dress with candies on it. Apple Jack wasn't there because she didn't want to go.

Many mares and stallions were dancing with each other and flirting with each other. A few groups came as friends, so there's not too much romance here. The Cutie Mark Crusaders wore dresses of their favorite color. Apple Bloom wore a pink dress, Sweetie Belle wore a lilac dress, and Scootaloo wore a green dress with a picture of a scooter.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders were with their friends, and they stood next to the steps, awaiting the arrival of the Night Princess. Luna and Celestia were still in the hallway, and spoke endlessly of the gala. Luna was pleading; Celestia would refuse each time.

"Give them a chance," Luna begged her sister.

"No. That is my response," Celestia retorted.

"Come on! There's still ponies that love you."

"It's not happening! The answer is no, and no means no!"

"Please..."

"I'm not going to."

"Please! It will be boring without you!" Luna's pleading eyes went wide, and Celestia huffed loudly.

"Leave," Celestia finished. "I don't like your night. The gala would suck as well."

"Come! Give them a chance..."

"No... I already said no! You've been begging all afternoon!"

"They would think that you're no longer interested in them!"

"Okay, fine... But, please don't speak to the foals-"

"I can't help it! I love them, and you can't stop me from being so kind to them!"

The two sisters approached the steps, and the crowd cheered. Luna wore a sapphire gown with the colors of the sunset, and the diamonds on the sapphire shade. Her gown was glittering, and so was her crown for the gala. She looked beautiful, possibly more beautiful than her older sister. Celestia wore a bright pink gown with orange, red, and yellow around the pink areas. Some ponies thought that her dress was overdone; Luna's style was simply elegant and very regal.

Luna smiled and waved at the ponies before her, and descended down the steps like a graceful royal would do. Celestia scowled at the ponies and rushed down the steps. "Do you still love me?" Celestia demanded to the ponies. "Why don't you bask in my glorious light? Her night only causes nightmares-"

The ponies gasped, and stepped back. The Cutie Mark Crusaders and their friends looked to Luna instead of Celestia, for they were fond of the night princess. Celestia stomped through the crowd, and spoke only of herself and the kingdom. "Bow before me, as you would to a glorious queen and goddess! Don't bow to Luna," She continued.

The ponies only cowered as Celestia continued to speak. Celestia slammed her hoof onto the floor when she saw Fluttershy acting scared, and snorted. "Very well, then! I won't even bother enjoying the night," She finished.

Luna met up with Link in the center of the ballroom, and blushed softly. "I read the letter that you sent me," She started.

"What do you think of the letter?" Link asked in reply.

"It was very lovely of you to say such things about me."

Link blushed shyly as he turned his head away. "Princess Luna..." He started.

"There's no need to be formal right now, as we were having a conversation. Let's go out into the courtyard," Luna replied.

The stars twinkled in the inky black sky as the two strode into the courtyard and sat on the soft grass. Luna's wing covered Link's back preotectively, as if to shield him against the coldness of the night. She sighed, feeling content as she stargazed with Link. "I always have this feeling whenever we're alone with each other... That pleasant warmth, something you'd sense when you're with someone that you care about," Luna started.

"Same with me, beautiful..." Link replied.

Luna chortled for a few seconds, and thought about the things they could do together in the future. The could go out to restaurants, go to festivals in Ponyville or Canterlot, and even spend time alone in bed if they felt like being intimate with each other. "Hero of Hyrule..." Luna said. "If you're the hero from a different land, then maybe you could be a hero of Equestria, too."

"If you were to get captured, then I'll rescue you from the villain." Link smirked at Luna, and Luna only smiled in response.

"I'm not the typical damsel-in-distress, but sometimes if I get afraid, then I would get captured in less than a minute. Most of the time, I try to fight back."

"And if that would endanger the kingdom?"

"What do you mean?" Luna lifted her brow in puzzlement.

"I'm talking about being a wise ruler like Princess Zelda. Do you ever let Twilight and her friends stop the villain, so that the land won't get destroyed?" Link replied.

"Oh. I used to be Nightmare Moon, so the land got endangered two times. Then Twilight and her friends-"

"You already told me that."

"I wasn't that much of a warrior princess anymore, because Twilight took up some of the duties. Not that I'm planning to become a full-time damsel-in-distress, so..."

"Oh, so Twilight would fight back. Did your sister still fight back?"

"She tried to, but got defeated by Chrysalis at Cadence's wedding one time."

"She's probably still very protective. I'm sure she tries to protect you, too."

"Celestia wasn't as nice anymore. All she did was get her subjects to serve her and worship her day, else she would cast an eternal day everywhere. I tried to make her calm down, but she won't stop in her blind rampage to get all of the glory back!"

"Sorry..."

"That's okay. You don't need to apologize."

Link felt a warmth rushing through his body as he stared into Luna's compassionate and benign eyes. "Luna, you're just so lovely," He complimented.

Luna only blushed as the land cooled down for a few minutes. Autumn was just around the corner, with the leaves prepared to change colors and fall from the trees to prepare for the cruel winter. "Do you want to go inside? It's getting chilly out," Luna suggested.

"Yes," Link replied.

They strolled back to the ballroom, and a huge fire filled the ballroom. "THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS IF THOU UNGRATEFUL PEONS DARE SHUN OUR SUNLIGHT! BECAUSE THOU WOULD RATHER BASK IN LUNA'S 'GLORIOUS' NIGHT, WE ART MAKING PLANS TO MAKE THE SUN STAY FOREVER!" Celestia hollered with pure fury.

"Stop this right now!" Luna shouted. "My little ponies, escape the castle! Get to safety while I deal with my sister!"

The citizens did as Luna instructed and ran outside into the darkness. "THOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY OUR SUBJECTS, SISTER! THEY ART ALL OURS, NEVER THINE'S! THEY WERE AWAY FROM THY GRASP EVER SINCE THOU GOT BLASTED TO THY MOON! WE REGRET WELCOMING THOU BACK TO THE THRONE!" Celestia bellowed at Luna.

"Please... Sharing is caring. A true ruler lets her subjects do whatever they want. Her subjects don't need to worship her, unless she is a deity. We're both not deities, and you should remember that. What you're doing is immoral, wicked, and selfish... Stop this right now." Luna lifted her brow, hoping that her sister would change her mind. After all, Celestia ruined the gala by harassing the guests with blind hate and resentment.

"No..." Celestia whispered. Her voice changed as she chuckled darkly. "Muahahahaha..." Her eyes changed, and revealed a malevolent side to her personality and her soul.

Luna gasped in shock and fear. This was what could have happened in one of her daily nightmares! "You think you know true power? You're wrong! I am more powerful and nopony shall stop me in my quest for power!" Celestia concluded. "What is it like to be the younger sister of somepony that you don't want to betray for the second time, huh? Especially on this fateful night..."

Celestia levitated a spear close to Luna's neck, and the spear pricked Luna lightly. Luna backed up, and frowned deeply. Her eyes saddened, making her seem like a hurt little puppy that got kicked by a cruel owner. "Stop this right now. Where did you take Twilight and her friends? What did you do to my student?" Luna interrogated.

"You'll never see them again once you're taken care of," Celestia retorted.

"What?"

Celestia flashed her wings, and stood tall. In Luna's perspective, Celestia seemed powerful, wicked, and intimidating... Especially with the darkly smug expression evident on her pale features. "The sun rises," She said at last.

"Don't make it last forever," Luna warned. "Or, you'll have to pay the price for your crimes!"

"Did you do anything to Zelda?" Link demanded Celestia. "I've seen villains kidnap her. Did you do the same to her?"

"Hmm, interesting question, greenie... Just look for her outside. She tried to lecture me and tried to kill me," Celestia admitted bitterly.

"Good."

Celestia took a deep breath as the flames ceased, revealing the six prisons holding Twilight and her friends. "Now the hour's come at last, the soft and rising light, has crossed the East horizon, and has brought morning light. And, what a lovely day it is to walk a sunlit field, to see the bright colors that are my sun rays now revealed," She started.

The first lights of early predawn appeared in the sky, potentially interrupting the sleep of the uninvited ponies. "That was quick," Link said. "Why is the night so short?"

"So why is it that now when all is awake and at play, when all the world's excited and ready for the day, the ponies of Equestria should hide their shining eyes... to reject the sun and wait instead for Luna's moonrise..." Celestia sang as she flew into the air. She glared angrily at Twilight and her friends as she continued singing.

"Am I so wrong to wish that they would see things like I do? And am I so wrong to think that they might see me too? Why shouldn't they look upon me, is it not within my right? I don't overshadow, mine is not that bright a light! I've waited long enough now, for them all to look around, and though the moon may plead and threaten, the sun will stand her ground! And all will know the wonder of my bright and blinding light, when all the world is wrapped in a hell-like fire sky! So say goodbye to this, the final rising of the moon! Today's night's in daylight, the dawn will be here soon!" Celestia finished as she completed her transformation into Solar Flare.

Author's note: Looks like Celestia/Solar Flare had completed her dark transformation. And she is holding the mane six hostage... There might be more than just 12-13 episodes, because I've changed my mind to make this seem more exciting and intense. What do you think has happened to Midnight Glitter and Princess Zelda? Any reviews and comments are welcome, and thanks for the reviews.
