I also have to disagree with you here. Regardless of whether or not Celestia was mindful of her estranged sister's imminent return and whether or not she sent Twilight to Ponyville with the intention of assembling the Elements of Harmony, one of the alternate futures Twilight saw in The Cutie Re-mark clearly showed that if it were not for the friendship of the Mane 6 resulting from that fateful Sonic Rainboom, then Nightmare Moon indeed would have returned to be the queen of an eternal night and would not have been defeated by any other means. Saying that Nightmare Moon's defeat was "just a bonus" profoundly diminishes the significance of that event.
