"Oh my....", said Celestia's mother, "What happened to your mane!"

"It wasn't my fault! Weird magic has been messing with it and is giving me nightmares", whined Celestia

"So that's why I've been hearing screams from you and Luna's bedroom..."

"That's not relevant right now, Mom! The point is, I think something bad is coming this way.

Black spirits started gushing through the castle. One by one, they all swarmed Celestia and tried to drag her to the dark side, but for some reason, they couldn't even touch her! The feelings she had when developing these stripes- pink in happiness, green in nervousness, blue in sadness and worry, and purple in bravery- have been feelings that Celestia has been feeling that the darkness doesn't. Caring and love is what they resent, so it shields her. A bright shining light shone forth as she thought of this. Then, a vivid fiery light pushed away the darkness and banished them forever!

"LUNA!!", shouted Celestia, "I'm so glad you made it! I was very worried about you!"

"I was worried about you, too, sis!", replied Luna

"I'm glad that everyone is safe", proclaimed Celestia and Luna's mom

She then held the two fillies under her wings and sang a lullaby:

In the waking of the night
Hush little children
Close your eyes

Sleep, Sleep
Worry not about the dark
Sleep, Sleep
I will never let you go

As the birds sing lullabies
Listen to their music
Rest your head

Sleep, Sleep
Worry not about the dark
Sleep, Sleep
I will never let you go

The lightning bugs will land on your nose
Let them rest
As so you

Sleep, Sleep
Worry not about the dark
Sleep, Sleep
I will never let you go
