The Luck In Our Stars

Sombra...

Princess Luna's P.O.V:

After sending my letter to Sombra, I thought about what I had written. Everything that I wrote was true, but should I have written all that?

I shook my head. I should've done what I did; Sombra was the only one who understood me.

It was so peaceful here, in the dream world. So quiet, so full of dreams. The only place that could give me peace was this.

I exited the dream world just in time to lower the moon. The sun rose, and I watched as ponies started their day.

It was unfair. Those ponies spent the entire day awake and having fun but spent my night asleep.

Those ponies praised Celestia and only thought of her as the ruler of Equestria.

Did they even think of me as a princess? The answer was they did not. That angered me, but when I remembered Sombra's words, I calmed down.

He was the only pony who stayed awake during the night for as long as he could.

He was the only pony who thought of me as a princess. He was the only pony who appreciated and loved me and my nights.

My thoughts drifted to how handsome he looked and how his smile/smirk was so charming.

And about how his voice sounded so better than any other stallion's voice.

How, whenever I visited his dreams, they were about me.

I whispered to myself, "Sombra."

Whenever I said his name, I felt butterflies in my stomach. I thought about him all day and night. I believed that I was falling in love and that he felt the same feelings for me that I did for him.

I had finally found my special somepony, and I would never have to spend another hearts and hooves day alone.

Even if I slept through the days, I still could see everyponies happiness in their dreams.

A memory flashed in my head of when Celestia had found her special somepony. She gave him all her love, but he pretended to love her.

He wanted to marry her so that he could become a prince. One day, the truth slipped from his mouth, and he left Celestia with a shattered heart.

After that, Celestia never opened her heart to anypony and tried to keep me away from falling in love.

If one day, she found out that I loved Sombra, what would she do?

I would never let her find out. I quickly jumped up and hid Sombra's letter in my desk draw where nopony would think to look.

Then, I climbed into my bed and closed my eyes.

I woke up and ran to my balcony. I saw the sun setting, so I quickly raised the moon and covered the sky with stars. With that done, I walked to my bedroom, ready to enter the dream world.

I was about to enter it when I heard a popping noise and saw a letter appear out of thin air.

I caught the letter and levitated it to my hooves, and then I looked at it. The letter had Sombra's seal on it, so I quickly broke the seal, unrolled it, and read, "To my dear princess of the night, Luna. I have read your letter, and this is my reply to it. I know how it feels to be left out or unappreciated because I went through all that.
