Luna walked into her room and sighed, it had been another tiring day at the courts of canterlot. Nobles wanting one thing and the general public wanting another. It was all politics. She turned to her bed and smiled, the one place she could get away from it all. "Sweet dreams to me." She said as she closed her eyes.

She began to dream

She felt like a warm presence of nothingness floating in a sea of white along a meadow, flowers littered the premise as the milky river suddenly dropped into a waterfall. She didn't feel afraid at all, even when the waterfall began to flow upwards.

Each step is moving it's moving me up. Moven it's movin me up! Every step is moving me up!

The flowing river suddenly twisted around to form a sea of white, the sea began shifting as it rose into the sky. The moon stared back at her with a lover's eyes. It beckoned to her like a mate calling her to bed. She felt her very soul drifting up to meet it. In an instant the open air of the meadow as replaced by a corridor, a long winding corridor. Luna heard laughing as she followed the milky trail of white twisting and turning through the hallway. She heard laughing, memories, old memories of Celestia and herself. She continued down the hall as the memories flashed through her mind's eye. One where they were running through the cobblestone halls of their old castle.

Laughing, all of them were laughing. The memories showed all the times Luna had before her imprisonment. The corridor became a staircase, the staircase ascended to a softly glowing stallion in the center of a large library. He smiled as Luna climbed towards him.

Ahh moving me up. Moving it's moving me up. Every step is moving me up.

She climbed and she felt the pounding and longing in her heart as she climbed the never ending stairs. Although the stairs seemed to grow with each step he seemed to come closer.

Each step is moving, it's  moving moving me up! Moooving me up. A tiny tiny move. Aah it's all I need and I jump over

As she reached up to the glowing white stallion, she reached out and they embraced. She felt so happy, the whole scene went black and Nightmare Moon's eyes peered back at her as it said.

This is how, we walk on the moon. This is how we walk on the moon. This is how, we walk on the moon,

She felt herself moving, the scene snapped from black to the surface of the moon. She felt herself glide over the moon, craters and valleys passing underneath as Nightmare Moon's eyes seemed to peer at her from afar. The scene shifted again to show Luna looking at Luna looking at Nightmare moon.

A  quadruple sided reflection showed a distraught Luna looking at a nightmare moon who was underneath the white stallion. His legs and arms were splayed as the moon illuminated his silhouette. He was floating in mid air like Celestia would when she raised the sun in the Summer Sun Celebration.

Nightmare was cackling evilly but no sound was to be heard.

The scene shifted again to show Luna inside the moon. Her contorted face shown on the moon's surface. She was inside a cage and she banged and cried as the moon floated silently in space. All around her was white all she felt was cold. The stallion came up to her, heartache in his eyes. He reached out a hoof, she reached out a hoof. They touched each other, but instead of physical contact, it felt like touching water, the stallion rippled and so did the whole dream.

It shifted again. Luna became the moon, floating in space surrounded by stars as she orbited the planet of Equestria. The stars seemed to glow and flicker as she silently flew around the planet. Oddly she felt at peace as she rotated the planet she felt whole.

Aah movin me up. Movin, movin me up.

The dream shifted again to show wedding bells. It showed a happy luna hugging the white stallion. The moonbeams coming off of him as he smiled. They kissed.

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

Luna awoke to find that it was still nighttime. "Pity, that was such a nice dream." She thought to herself as she walked over to the still gleaming stars.

Something caught her attention, it was a small white flickering at the corner of her eye. She quickly turned her attention to her bed stand to find that a white stallion was staring back at her. He smiled briefly before disappearing.

A wind came from the outside, a soft summer's breeze. She saw a bit of white fire leave her bed and travel on that wind, flying up into the night sky.

Into the moon.
