It's another day at Ponyville and Derpy Hooves is carrying a huge package to the home of Twilight Sparkle, which is the library. After dropping the thing off, the crossed-eyed Pegasus pony knocks on the door.

Spike opens the door and answers, "Yeah, Derpy?"

"Package for Miss Sparkle," Derpy explains to Spike, her eyes move about a bit.

Just before Spike could speak, Twilight arrives outside, looking excitedly as she exclaims, "Yes! It's here, it's finally here!"

Twilight quickly signs for the package and paying Derpy before bringing the thing inside the package. Ben Mare is off on a trip to Canterlot with Nyx so they will be gone for a while. The pony smiles eagerly as she opens the package.

"What is inside the package anyway?" Spike asks Twilight puzzled. Something in the package sure got her all excited.

"Never mind, get the other girls. I want to show them this." Twilight explains to Spike with an eager smile on her face as she pulls some parts out as if ready to assemble the thing. "Take your time! This will take a few minutes or so to make."

Spike shrugs as he leaves the library to allow Twilight some time to get her machine assembled...

A while later, the rest of the Mane Six waits in the main room with Twilight and Spike near something covered by a sheet. Rainbow said, "All right, Twilight. You got us here, so what gives?"

"Why am I pulled away from my business for this?" Rarity ask Twilight impatiently.

"Ponies, ever wonder about other universes other than our own? If it shares the same timeline as we do but with different outcomes," Twilight ask her friends anxiously.

"Not 'dat Ah know o', no." Applejack remarks with a shrug.

"Well, prepare yourselves to see the possibilities; presenting...the Universal Viewer!"

Twilight removes the sheet, revealing some sort of huge machine with a monitor on it and a speaker. The ponies look at it in awe while exclaiming, "Oooooh!"

"So what is it?" Spike asks Twilight puzzled. What is this machine that her friend is so anxious on getting?

"It allows us to see other alternative universes! All I have to do is speak into the speaker, ask about any idea of universe and it will show up on the monitor!" Twilight exclaims excitedly to the ones listening.

"Ooooh, as if we can see into the real world where we are on TV and JusSonic is writing this right now?" Pinkie asks Twilight happily as she bounces up and down.

"...yes, let's go with that. Oh, imagine the possibilities! Go ahead. Tell me what kind of universe you want to see."

"Uh, here's one." Fluttershy said meekly. "Err, what if, when you were having your friendship report problem, you decided to come clean...about it?"

"Let's find out." Twilight said as she turns to the speaker and speaks into it. "Machine, what if, during my frantic search to find a friendship problem for my friendship report, I came clean to Princess Celestia about not having one instead of making a friendship problem?"

Soon the machine came to life, buzzing and making noises. The ponies saw something appear on the monitor, showing them some sort of universe as requested by Fluttershy...

-----------

"Wow!" Pinkie exclaims as she ate some popcorn when the show is over. "That's amazing."

"Yet so predictable," Rainbow remarks while rolling her eyes, "It changes one thing but the outcome is still the same."

"Okay, Miss Dash, you come up with a better idea." Twilight snaps to Rainbow, challenging her to come up with a better idea. The Pegasus pony pauses then glances at Spike, smiling.

"Okay, Egghead. Here's an idea. What if there's a universe where we ponies are dragons...and Spike here is a pony; Huh; How about it?"

"Let's see..."

Twilight speaks the request into the Universal Viewer...soon, the machine came to life as a show starts on the monitor...

------------------------

Imagine a world where dragons roams along with sort of creatures and ponies are rarely seen or not. Imagine two dragons who rule them all...and one tries to repel centuries ago.

That indeed happened. On the moon in the current year, a dragon in armor looks at what used to be her home: Draconia

Moon Dragon looks furious. It has been thousands of years since her sister Princess Sun Dragon has imprisoned her year with the Elements of Harmony.

"Princess Sun Dragon...it's your fault...it's all your fault!" The Moon Dragon fumes furiously as she remembers what happens centuries ago...

Lightning hits the lands of Draconia, the war between the forces of good and evil are drawing to a close. Moon Dragon glares at her sister, Princess Sun Dragon, both are in a major battle...but it looks like evil is about to win here.

"Sister...Princess Moon Dragon, please stop this, I beg of you." Princess Sun Dragon pleads to her sister, "If there's any good left in you."

"Forget it, sister, the weak and one who was unappreciated and ignored is no more," The evil nightmare known as Moon Dragon hiss at her sister. "You will soon fall and all of Draconia will be mine!!! Even the Ponies clan, what's left of them, must submit to me now."

"Moon Dragon, sister..."

"Shut up! I do not wish to hear another word from you! It's too late for any apologies, no hope left and all that!!! You have lost!!!"

The Dragon of the Sun looks down in sad. Her sister has felt unappreciated by the dragons, who slept through her night and ignores the wonder what she has done. Princess Sun Dragon tries to tell her time and again not to feel bad. There are those who appreciate Princess Moon Dragon's night. She just needs to give them a chance.

But Moon Dragon grew more jealous and hatred towards her sister, whose subjects begin to love more of her day ever since the fall of Professor Anarchy, a mad scientist alicorn who tried to bring chaos and madness to Draconia a long time ago. And so, through darkness and magic, she became a twisted version of herself.

"I'm sorry...please forgive me." Princess Sun Dragon said in sadness and determination as she uses her magic to uses the Elements of Harmony. The dragon must use this to stop her mad sister...at a cost.

Moon Dragon roars as she shoots out flames at her sister...but a force field from the Elements themselves blocks the attack. The Dragon of the Night charges in but by then, Princess Sun Dragon uses the Elements to make a rainbow and send it right at Moon Dragon.

The mad princess roars as the attack wraps her like mad, preventing her escape. Moon Dragon then finds herself being turned into particles as she roars out, "NOOO!"

"It's for your own good, sister. Farewell." Princess Sun Dragon said in regret.

"I HATE YOU!!!"

With that, Moon Dragon disappears, the particles are sent into the sky. Princess Sun Dragon watches as the remains head to the moon where they stopped: a dragon head appears in the moon itself. It is now Moon Dragon's home, forever and ever.

Just then Princess Sun Dragon yelps as something is happening to the Elements. They begin to fade color and turns into stone, landing right on the ground. The Dragon of the Sun saw her tiara disappearing from sight.

Princess Sun Dragon looks down in sadness, knowing what has happened: she and her sister are no longer connected to the Elements. The Moon Dragon because she has fallen to the darkness...

And Sun Dragon as she has lost her only friend...

Ever since that day, centuries ago, Princess Sun Dragon gave herself the task of raising and lowering the moon. The Moon Dragon was forced to watch, hating her sister for the 'wrongful imprisonment' and being stuck on the moon.

Yet, something else is inside the dragon, emotions of sadness, regret and love for her sister...but the darkness and hatred kept them at bay, releasing to let the true Moon Dragon come forth.

The Moon Dragon smirks sinisterly as she watch the stars move a bit. According to a prophecy that she saw in an inscription somewhere on the moon, the stars will allow the dragon to escape her imprisonment. And she will return to Draconia once more.

The Moon Dragon plans on capturing her sister and locking her up, as payback for what Princess Sun Dragon has done to her. And with the Elements of Harmony no longer connected to the two Royal Dragons, no one will defeat her. Eternal Night shall reign and so shall Moon Dragon.

"Prepare yourself, Draconia..." The Moon Dragon remarks evilly to her world of dragons. "For I, the true Queen, will return shortly..."

The Moon Dragon doesn't know it but there's still hope left...in the form of six Dragons...but that's for another time.

---------------------

As the story truly begins, we see a book with a dragon head on it, opening up. The first pages say 'Once Upon a Time' then we see a beautiful country with the usual rainbows, castle and such.

"Once upon a time, in the wonderful land of Draconia, there are two Royal Dragons who ruled together, making harmony throughout the land..."

We can see two dragons flying in the sky, one of them is a white female dragon and the other is a sapphire female one.

We now see the white one using her powers to raise the sun at dawn...with the other using hers to begin the night by raising the moon. We see them forming a Yin-Yang symbol via a sun and a crescent moon.

"To make this happen, the eldest uses her powers to raise the sun while the younger sister bring out the moon to begin the night. The two dragons kept the balance for the kingdom and their subjects, all different kinds of dragons."

Of course, things begin to change. The Moon Dragon saw the other dragons playing during the day time...but when it became night, all of them were upset. The little sister looks upset, feeling unappreciated...and jealous. With tears, she refuses to lower the moon.

"But as the years passed, the younger became resentful and jealous. While the dragons relished and played in the daytime made by her older sister, they shunned and slept through her beautiful night. One fateful day, the younger dragon refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn."

The older sister is seen trying to speak reason to her sister but she turns away in anger and disgust. The Moon Dragon's eyes open...turning evil. Black clouds pass her as she transforms into a black sinister dragon with turquoise eyes and insane armor of darkness and evil. The dragon scares the citizens as a new dawn of terror begins.

"The elder sister tried to reason with her but the bitterness in the young dragon's heart changes her into an evil monster of darkness called Moon Dragon. She vowed to not rest until the land is shrouded in eternal night."

The Sun Dragon knew that she has no choice so five powerful gems surrounded another one; she wore a crown and uses magic of the items themselves to stop Moon Dragon. The villainess screams in defeat as she is send to the moon, her shadow appears to it to this day.

"The Sun Dragon was forced to use the most powerful magic of the dragons known as the Elements of Harmony to defeat her younger sister, banishing her to the moon for all time."

Another page shows the dragon in the sky next to the sun and moon. With the Moon Dragon now banished, her sister must raise both of them, much to the awe of his fellow dragons.

"The elder dragon must now take the responsibility for the sun and the moon..."

"And harmony was kept in Draconia ever since." Another voice finishes. We see the book on the ground and who was reading: it's a purple dragon with a dark purple with a pink stripe in it hair as well as purple eyes. Her name is Twilight Sparkle, a student of the ruler of Draconia as well as the one mentioned in the book.

"'Elements of Harmony', huh," Twilight ask puzzled. She has heard of the elements but where has the dragon done so before. "I've heard of them, but where..."

Time for this Dragon to do some studying!

Author's Notes:

And thus the AU fic begins. In the next chapter, Twilight and her alicorn pony friend Spike works on trying to figure out the Elements of Harmony, the dragon suspects that the evil Moon Dragon will return. But will her teacher Princess Sun Dragon listen; And where to after this; Read, review and suggest.

The opening and the machine is kinda based on certain episodes of Futurama, where the gang in the cartoon uses a similar machine to see certain 'what if' universes. My 'Coming Clean' AU fic (as well as Solid Sun's complaint) is referenced..

A bit of the prologue was a short story called 'New Dragon's Revenge' but since the length of words isn't enough for a submission, I put it in here.
