Now that I had plucked up the courage to face Nightmare Moon, I gave her a stern lecture!

In the angriest voice that I could muster, this is what I told her:

You have no right to make the night last forever!
By stopping the Sun in its tracks, you will force billions of innocent creatures to suffer!
Is that really what you want for your subjects?!
I love the night—as well as the creatures who are awake only at night—but I—HATE—YOU!

“You—appreciate the night?!” she cried in utter disbelief.

“I certainly do!” I answered—this time, with a joyful voice!

“Nopony ever appreciated the night until you came along!” she cried in shock.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” she screamed as she lost all her evil power!

Nightmare Moon had transformed into her true form—Princess Luna!

Princess Celestia lay down to attend to her wounded younger sister and make amends with her.

“You succeeded!” Princess Celestia told me.

“You melted Princess Luna’s ice-cold heart,” she explained.

“For that,” she continued, “I hereby reward you with the Element Of Kindness!”

“Oh! My! Goodness!” I cried with both pride and joy, now wearing a necklace with a pink jewel in the shape of a butterfly in its center.

“But you didn’t do it alone,” she went on, detailing the accomplishments of the five ponies who had joined me at the end of their trek through the Everfree Forest:

To Pinkie Pie—who banished fear from her allies by boosting their morale—I reward the Element Of Laughter!
To Applejack—who proved herself to be a mare of her word—I reward the Element Of Honesty!
To Rarity—who made an all-important sacrifice—I reward the Element Of Generosity!
To Rainbow Dash—who refused to abandon her allies for anything else in the world—I reward the Element of Loyalty!
To Twilight Sparkle—who used her horn to light up the correct path and unite you with her allies—I reward the Element Of Magic!
You and your allies helped one another in your quest to reunite me with my long-lost younger sister, and for that, I will always be grateful.

“I did it!” I cried—in the loudest voice that I could muster!
