In this parallel reality she had to do her daily exercises to maintain her extendo-neck. Using Luna as her training weight kept the monotonous and ache-inducing routine bearable. When she had to banish Luna to the moon, she lost her motivation and he neck-skin soon lost the necessary elasticity to stretch more than a few inches.

This was truly a tragic loss for Equestria’s joy.

It also almost proved disastrous for Equestria’s national security, but while studying a journal of Stygian’s that Prince Blue poor’s distant ancestor had been ripping pages out of to use as tissues it was fortunately discovered he never emptied the trashcan in his private quarters, where the maids were forbidden to go. With the greatest of care, the crusted mucus was removed, and one page revealed a plan for a type of spear with a head crafted from magically hardened mithril, rather than the then-traditional felt-covered balsa wood.

With no better options, Princess Celestia enacted this daring plan. While the royal guard remained the ineffectual losers they would always be, with weapons capable of causing actual injury enemies now were given enough pause from the random flailing to the spears used by the guards that Celestia could actually fly over and handle issues, rather than her much faster neck-extending. Later innovations in Royal Guard armor would eventually see injuries to the enemies of Equestrian is combat against the Guard exceed self-inflicted injuries and friendly-stabbing (like friendly fire but more primitive) incidents.

With Luna returned and resuming her duties as a training weight, it is hoped that Equestrian everywhere will be able to look forward to Princess Necklestia poking her head through their windows, while her body is still in a distant city.

This is how Luna was banished to the moon. Space elevator
