Thank you for reading my first fanfic. I really hope you enjoyed it, but if you have any suggestions on how to make it better, please tell me. This is also an FAQ as I'm sure you probably have a few questions. I'm going to guess what you want to know, but once again, tell me if you have any suggestions.

Why doesn't Luna use the Royal Canterlot Voice or the Royal 'We' when speaking?

As she has no magic, and is still shy when meeting other ponies, she does not speak down to them. She doesn't consider herself a true princess until after she gets her magic back.

What's with the name Shire Village?

I got the idea from a place we went to for a geography field trip. That was called Shere Village, so I adapted the name to fit into Equestria.

Why doesn't Spike run away from Luna when she visits Twilight?

He was asleep the whole time! He is a baby dragon after all.

Why do you spell stuff weirdly, like 'realise' and 'travelling'?

I realise you spell 'realise' 'realize'. (Hey look, three realises in one sentence!) I'm from England though, where we don't do spelling shortcuts.

Why did you even write this?

I like writing stories, I'm a brony, and I wanted to explain Luna's change in appearance from series 1 to series 2. Simple.

Anyway, this is my first fanfic ever as I mentioned earlier. I don't know what I'll do next...

At the moment either some poems about early Equestria (I do poems now. Poems are cool...)

Or some really sad story involving Twilight getting a teleport spell wrong and ending up on Earth, where she uses her magic to keep a dying child alive. (I have never written a sad story before, but maybe I should. My Little Dashie inspired me as well as turning me into a human waterfall)

Well, I had better go, but if you like this story, tell me, an I will try to write something else like it.
