This is a sequel to "Luna's Christmas Carol". This takes place 2 months after her ordeal. She's walking around Equestria when Dj visits:
Luna: I'm so nervous sis. What if everyone still hates me?
Celestia: Don't worry. Dj is gonna be here in a second.
Luna: Yeah. What a friend.
Thinking back to that day:
Luna: Dj what are you doing up there?
Djlamar2: To see you. No one should be alone on Christmas.
In the present:
Luna: I just hope Baby Sweet Stuff can forgive me.
Celestia: I'm happy that he's been approved to baptize you. *Dj walks in*
Djlamar2: Luna today's the day girl. *She shakes* Its easy. And all your friends will be there. *She nods* Let's go you 2. *They head to Ponyland and go to a small river*
Twilight Sparkle: You gonna be okay Luna? *She nods* Alright. Just listen to Dj and everything will be okay.
Sweet Stuff: Yeah. *She frowns* Luna what's wrong?
Luna: I don't think Baby Sweet Stuff can forgive me for yelling at her. *A tear trickles down her cheek and Baby Sweet Stuff goes up to her*
Baby Sweet Stuff: Luna. *She turns her head* Luna listen. I told you that day when you asked forgiveness that I forgave you.
Djlamar2: Yeah. You ready Luna? *She nods* Thankfully the seaponies let us use their special river. *She folds her wings in* That's right. Just fold your wings in. Someone get a towel ready. *They head into the middle of the river* Luna. Do you accept Christ as your Lord and savior?
Luna: Yes.
Djlamar2: Do you believe he gave his life for you.
Luna: Yes.
Djlamar2: Luna. I baptize you in the name of the father, son and Holy spirit. Hold your nose. *She does* Here we go. *Dips her in and pulls her out and she's bawling* Luna. You are a new creature in Jesus. *They all cheer* Why are you crying Luna? You should be happy?
Luna: I am. What about the others?
Twilight Sparkle: *Helping her out* You just need to talk to them.

They dry her off and Twilight Sparkle and the others walk up to her:
Applejack: Now that's our princess.
Luna: I am gonna try my best to be a better princess. *They head back to Ponyland and Dj stands right beside her*
Pony: Its her.
Pony: Something seems different about her.
Djlamar2: Don't you have something to say Luna? *She looks nervous* Hey its okay. Listen. It doesn't matter if they accept that your a newborn Christian or not. Just tell them.
Luna: Thanks friend. *Clears her throat and everyone is hushed* I have an announcement.
Pony: Tell us.
Luna: As you all know I had a change of heart a couple of months ago thanks to this person right here. He believed in me. Past 2 months I was wondering "Should I get baptized or not?" I made my decision. I was baptized today by my best friend. *They all fall silent but then erupt in thunderous applause* Can you all forgive me for being a big jerk to everyone?
Pony: I forgive you.
Ponies: We forgive you. *She smiles*
Luna: Now I have 1 more person to ask this. Celestia can you forgive your sister for being so jealous all those years ago?
Celestia: Your still worried about that? *She nods* Of course. Your my sister.
Megan: We're gonna be there for you.
Djlamar2: And if you make a mistake its okay. I'm a Christian and I make mistakes sometimes. That's why Jesus died on the cross. To take away the penalty of death. All you gotta do is repent.
Sweet Stuff: Yeah. *Hugs her* You have all of us behind you.

The next few days she goes about her usual duties as a princess but with a big smile on her face:
Pony: Hi Luna.
Luna: Hi. Wow being a Christian people aren't afraid of you. I should have become 1 years ago. *Runs into Rainbow Dash* Oh I'm sorry RD.
Rainbow Dash: No no. It was my fault.
Luna: You know I'm different now right?
Rainbow Dash: Of course. I was there silly. *Twilight Sparkle comes up with Dj who has a surprise for her*
Luna: You have something for me? *Sees a box*
Djlamar2: Its something every Christian should have. Open it. *She does*
Luna: A book?
Djlamar2: Not just any book Luna. Its a bible. It has all kinds of stories and great stuff you can read. *She hugs him*
Luna: Its not even my birthday. *Starts crying*
Djlamar2: What's wrong Luna?
Luna: Its just that I was so terrible to you that day. I'm a terrible pony.
Djlamar2: That's just your old self Luna. Don't let what happened that day make you think we're not friends.
Luna: What if I mess up again? Yell or something.
Djlamar2: We're only human..... err. Your not perfect Luna. No one is. That's why he died for us.
Luna: But I never asked him to.
Djlamar2: He wanted to.
Luna: But.
Twilight Sparkle: Girl don't worry. Dj's always gonna be here to help you. And if he's not then your friends will be.
Luna: Are you gonna be there TS?
Twilight Sparkle: Do you have to ask? We're friends Luna. Of course I will.

For awhile Luna is doing good but then 1 day at a meeting:
Luna: Okay. *Hearing them talk aloud* Alright. *Gets frustrated* QUIET!
Pony: She yelled.
Pony #2: I thought she had changed.
Luna: I...... I need to be alone. *Runs out of the room and Celestia stares at all of them*
Celestia: I am surprised at all of you. It was 1 mistake. *Goes to Luna's room and knocks on her door*
Luna: Go away. *Is heard crying*
Celestia: Luna. Its me. *She doesn't answer and Celestia sighs* I know who to call. *Talks to Twilight Sparkle telepathically*
Twilight Sparkle: What's up?
Celestia: Its Luna. She yelled at some people and ran into her room. Go get Dj. She won't answer her door.
Twilight Sparkle: Alright. *She goes to get him*
Djlamar2: Don't tell me. Luna's having problems?
Twilight Sparkle: Yeah. *They head there*
Celestia: She's in her room. *He knocks on the door*
Luna: I said go away. I'm a terrible pony.
Djlamar2: Luna its me Dj. Please let me in. *She opens the door*
Luna: Only you please. *He goes in and peeks out the door*
Djlamar2: I'll handle it okay? *They nod and he heads in* Luna. *She hangs her head* Luna.
Luna: Next thing I know I'll yell at you. This Christianity stuff is tough.
Djlamar2: Did I say it would be easy? *She shakes her head* Luna that's because it isn't. Luna I've done some stupid stuff too. *Ducks his head getting ready to be slapped*
Luna: Really?
Djlamar2: Yeah. Remember what I said?
Luna: No one is perfect.
Djlamar2: Yeah. Luna Jesus loves you.
Luna: But how can he love someone that is mean?
Djlamar2: Did you know he loved even a thief?
Luna: No way.
Djlamar2: Yep. He was hung with 2 bad people on a cross. The thief asked for forgiveness. He forgave him. In fact before he died. *Grabs her bible* Do you mind? *She shakes her head and he opens it* Now read this part right here Luna.
Luna: Alright. "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." After putting him to death he still wanted God to forgive them? *He nods* Do you think he'll forgive me?
Djlamar2: What do you think?
Luna: Yes. *She bursts into tears and hugs him* Your such a good friend. And I was so terrible to you that day.
Djlamar2: Luna. I forgave you. You know what? That's your old self talking. The person you were before you were a christian.
Luna: But I am a terrible pony.
Djlamar2: Its true we all are. But that doesn't mean we're not loved. Luna remember that verse about love?
Luna: John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only forgotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life". Even me?
Djlamar2: Even you.

They walk out back into the meeting:
Luna: Listen everyone. I didn't mean to snap. *She starts crying* Can you forgive me?
Pony: Yeah. Come on guys. She's new to this christian stuff. I know its tough.
Ponies: We forgive you Luna. Sorry for muttering about you getting mad.
Djlamar2: Yeah. Luna you know what the bible says about getting mad?
Luna: Its a sin?
Djlamar2: You're new to this. Luna its not a sin. Its what you do when your angry that is. You know the 10 commandments right?
Luna: Yeah I read them the first time you gave me the bible.
Djlamar2: Good for you. As long as you don't disobey those commandments while your angry its not a sin. But you wanna know what else it says?
Luna: Sure.
Djlamar2: It says..... Well *Opens it* Read this.
Luna: Let not the sun set on your wrath. Wrath does mean anger. So I can be angry but not stay angry.
Djlamar2: Exactly. *She smiles and suddenly Baby Sweet Stuff comes up*
Baby Sweet Stuff: Luna can I ask you a question?
Luna: Sure.
Baby Sweet Stuff: What's it like to be baptized?
Luna: You mean you never was baptized? *She shakes her head*
Baby Sweet Stuff: But I think I'm ready.
Luna: Ask Dj. I'm a newborn christian.
Djlamar2: Your not doing this because of Luna right?
Baby Sweet Stuff: Nope. I always wanted to know about the Lord and..... *Tears well up* I accepted Jesus as my personal savior last night. *Luna laughs with happiness*
Luna: I am so proud of you.
Sweet Stuff: It was because of your conversion that it made her think about getting baptized.
Djlamar2: That is awesome. I have an idea. *Whispers in Luna's ear*
Luna: But Dj. I'm still learning.
Djlamar2: That's true but I think having a close friend being there with her might make her happy.
Luna: Its up to her. Well Baby Sweet Stuff?
Baby Sweet Stuff: Of course.
Djlamar2: How about tomorrow? You 2 can talk till then.
Luna: Sure. *The day goes on and Dj leaves*
Baby Sweet Stuff: So can I spend the night here?
Luna: Its up to your mom.
Sweet Stuff: Sure she can.

That night they spent the whole night (Except late that night) about Christianity and Jesus. The next day Dj asked the seaponies if they could use the same pond as they did for Luna's baptism:
Sea Lily: Of course. *They head there and Dj, Luna and Baby Sweet Stuff head out into the middle of the pond*
Djlamar2: Luna would you do the honors of asking the important stuff?
Luna: Really? *He nods* Baby Sweet Stuff do you accept Christ as your personal Lord and savior?
Baby Sweet Stuff: Yes.
Luna: Do you believe that he died for your sins? Oops...
Djlamar2: Its alright. But do you believe that?
Baby Sweet Stuff: Yes.
Luna: Dj do the honors my friend. *He nods* Hold your nose Baby Sweet Stuff. *She nods and holds her nose*
Djlamar2: Baby Sweet Stuff I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. *Dips her and pulls her back up and she's crying* Luna remember what I said?
Luna: Yep. Baby Sweet Stuff you are a new creature in Jesus. *She hugs her and everyone applauds*
Baby Sweet Stuff: Thanks Luna.
Luna: Your welcome. TS would you get her a towel. *They head out of the water and Sweet Stuff is standing there smiling from ear to ear*
Sweet Stuff: I am so proud of you.
Cutie Pie: My sister is a sister in the Lord. *She smiles* I have something to confess.
Sweet Stuff: What's that?
Cutie Pie: That night you 2 talked I too gave my life to Jesus. *Sweet Stuff gasps and runs up and hugs her*
Sweet Stuff: Do you think we can have a back-to-back baptism?
Djlamar2: Hmm. How about it Luna?
Luna: Sure. *They head back into the middle of the pond and baptize her as well*
Cutie Pie: Is this what's its like to be a new creature?
Luna: Its wonderful Cutie Pie. You can't stop smiling and its full of joy.
Djlamar2: Yeah. And don't worry about messing up.
Luna: I need to talk to you and Megan real quick. *Dj nods and Megan follows them into a room at the castle later* I have been thinking about last year.
Djlamar2: You mean the play?
Luna: Yeah.
Djlamar2: You know that you were forgiven about what happened that day right?
Luna: Yeah but.... I want to ask you a question.
Megan and Djlamar2: Sure.
Luna: Can I help direct this year's Christmas pageant? *Dj and Megan both gasp* You can say no if you want.
Megan: Well Dj?
Djlamar2: Hmm. A Christmas pageant made by a new christian? *He thinks and smiles* Sure but its a month away. Think you can put together a play by then?
Luna: Already done Dj.
Djlamar2: *Reading* A very Luna Christmas. Nice title.
Luna: And Dj you and Megan are some of the main roles.
Djlamar2: *Reads more and gasps* It starts with what happened last year.
Luna: Yeah that night I gave my life to Jesus. *Smiles*
Djlamar2: Nice Luna. We'll need a cast.
Luna: You can help out with that.
Djlamar2: Cool.
So ends "Luna's big turnaround". Stay tuned after Thanksgiving when I start "A very Luna Christmas"
The end.
