>You and Nightmare Moon walk down the street in Canterlot’s restaurant district.
>It is a unusual occurrence, but not unheard of. You and Nightmare Moon have decided to make this walk every few weeks. 
>Ponies avoid eye contact and hide their foals, hoping not to draw attention. 
>You and Nightmare Moon talk between yourselves to decide which pony will entertain them tonight. 
>NMM sees a young mare with foals.
"That one there, she looks like she would be great fun."
>She lets out a small chuckle, the one that you have come to enjoy. 
>She chuckles whenever she gets excited. This is no exception. 
>Nightmare Moon points for the guards to retrieve the mare. 
>The mare begins to plead for them to spare her; that she has foals and a husband. 
>She struggles, desperately trying to hold onto her foal, but the guards rip the small colt from her arms. 
You speaks to the guard beside you.
"Grab the foals and husband as well. Might as well toy with her mentally as well. Take them to the castle, and prepare them as usual.
>The guard nodes, and within a few minutes, the young family is out of sight, no doubt on their way to the Castle. 
>You and Nightmare Moon proceed to have a casual dinner at a local restaurant. 
>Steak. your favorite. 

>After the night out, you return to your room, only to be greeted by a mare, with bloodshot eyes, tied up on the floor in front of your bed. 
>Her family sitting on the side, heavily tied as well. 
>"Please... I've been a good pony... We've done nothing wrong. We- we are loyal to the Crown!" 
>Nightmare Moon smiles, displaying her fangs for all to see. 
"Then why don't you show me much how loyal you are..."
