Dear Luna,
It very much pleases me to tell you that we have finally found where you are and how to bring you home. We have all missed you very much, and I never was as good at the night sky as you are. I’ll be there roughly five hours after you receive this letter. And please do not try to bring anything back here from the human world. I know how curious you get. I won’t be able to return it, for the spell to travel there only works once. Take the time before I arrive to say goodbye to the two who are taking care of you. I’ll be there soon.
Your loving sister,
Princess Celestia
Nick and Justin sat silent as Luna read the letter out loud. She had begun bouncing around the room happily while they looked at each other and sighed. They were happy for her, but were also upset that she would be leaving. Luna seemed to have the same feeling creep up on her as she gradually stopped bouncing. She looked at her friends with suddenly sad eyes. “I don’t know…”
Justin looked up from the floor and tilted his head. “What don’t you know?”
“If I really want to go back.” Justin’s mouth dropped as Nick snapped his head in her direction. Looking down at the floor, she continued. “It isn’t that I don’t miss Equestria, I really do, it’s just…I don’t want to leave you two. Nick and Justin looked at each other once more.
Justin looked back and asked “Us? Why would we have anything to do with you not wanting to go back? I mean, look at us.”
Luna looked back up at him. “Because you two are the only real friends I have. Tia acts friendly towards us, but that’s because she is our sister. Almost all the other ponies in Equestria fear us because of the whole Nightmare Moon occurrence.
Nick nodded his head. Luna had told both of them about the incident, and they had tried helping her get over it. Then Nick got confused. “We’re your only friends?” Luna nodded. “But what about Twilight? Or maybe someone in your guard? Surely they’re your friends.”
This time, she shook her head. “Even those in our guard fear us,” she explained. “And Twilight is a friend, but she is different. She tries to update my image, and she’ll do what she can for me, but she isn’t as close to me as you guys. I cannot open up to her as I can with you. There are things I have told you that even Celestia doesn’t know about me. You are the closest friends I have had in thousands of years, and when I go home, you’ll be gone.” After a few moments of awkward silence, she looked back down to the floor.
Justin was the one to break the silence. “Luna, look at me.” Her head drifted up slowly until she made eye contact. “Yes, it is true that we won’t be able to see you anymore.” Luna looked back down. “But, that isn’t a good reason to consider abandoning your duties back home. They need you there, Luna. More than you might think. And I know you’ll be able to make more friends. Start small though, like just getting out a little more. And if you do, don’t make some huge entrance like you said you did on Nightmare Night.” Luna smiled sheepishly at that. “There’s the Luna we know. Now, we only have a few more hours until your sister comes, so let’s quit moping and do something.” After a few moments of thinking, Nick and Luna looked devilishly at each other.
Justin sighed. “Call of Duty?”
They looked back at him and, perfectly in synch, replied: “Call of Duty.”
Luna’s PoV
‘I’m going to miss this so much when I go home. DIE NICK! Too bad I cannot come back to visit, sister said the spell only works once…wait. Only works once? I might be able to work with that. Nick did say that both he and Justin discussed how cool it would be for them to live in Equestria. HOW DID I DIE AGAIN?!? DID JUSTIN START HIDING IN BUSHES?!? But how would I go about it? It would have to be done fast and look seemingly innocent. I would also have to do it at the last second. Tia was never very good at preventing last second surprises…huh? Justin’s character is just standing there. What is he…oh? He-he’s going to let me kill him! I don’t believe it! Well, he does think I’ll never get the chance to do it anymore…perhaps I won’t tell them about my plan. It will be my surprise to them. I hope magical travel won’t make them sick…’
Four and a half hours later
General PoV
After hours and hours of playing, the trio finally agreed to turn the X-Box off and simply talk until Celestia arrived. Luna had given Nick and Justin advice on what to do when her sister arrived. Bow, maintain eye contact, and always use her title when addressing her. Little things like that. Luna had decided not to tell her friends about her plan in case Celestia decided to read their minds. Apparently, she does that a lot. Nick and Justin were in the middle of explaining the purpose of thumbs to Luna (they still fascinated her and she never grew tired of hearing about them) when a low buzzing sound filled the air. They stopped talking and looked around.
Luna looked confused. “What is it?” At this point, the low buzzing grew into a small sizzling sound.
Nick looked at Justin with a worried look and asked “You don’t think…”
“Yes I do.”
Luna was now beyond confused. “What? What do you think?” Before either could answer, a small, expanding ball of white light appeared in the center of the room. As Nick started to dive behind the couch, the ball exploded, the shockwave sending both humans flying. When the light finally faded, Luna gasped as a slightly taller white alicorn was revealed.
As Luna ran up to hug her, Nick and Justin finally stood up.
Nick looked around and said in a whiny tone “Can nobody cross over from one dimension into ours without turning our dorm into a disaster area?” Luna laughed as Justin fell over again before standing up.
Looking at the other huge pony in the room, he asked “So this is your sister then?” Luna nodded happily. “Well then, allow me to welcome you to Earth, Princess Celestia. I am Justin, and this is my friend Nick. It’s an honor to finally meet you.” Both of them bowed after Justin finished.
Celestia looked at them both and said “Please, there is no need for that here. If anything, I am honored to meet you. You took care of my sister and befriended her. And for that, I thank you. Now Luna, are you ready to go? All you have to do is grab my hoof and we’ll be off.”
Luna looked at her friends sadly. “Can I at least give them a hug first?”
“Alright, but hurry.”
She beckoned the two humans over and embraced them in a tight hug. She then let go and grabbed Celestia’s hoof. Their bodies were outlined in a bright white glow when Luna suddenly grabbed her friends and said “Well maybe just one more.” Celestia was about to say something, but it was too late. The spell and been cast, causing the world to turn white.
Luna’s PoV
As my vision came back, I released my death grip on my friends. I turned to look at Celestia, and as I had thought, her face was red with anger. “What’s wrong sister?”
“You know very well you should not have done that Luna. Now I can’t send them home! What would possibly possess you to-.“ Her rant was interrupted by two sets of groaning. The Princesses turned to look at the humans, who were currently looking around them in wonder.
Looking at Luna, Justin asked “Did you plan this?” She sheepishly nodded. Both men then surprised her by giving her a huge hug at the same time. As they let go, they were bowled over by a cyan blur with a rainbow trail. Luna and Celestia looked to see both of them tied up with an angry looking Rainbow Dash glaring at them. The other elements followed soon after.
Luna watched as Twilight looked at her mentor and asked: “What are those?”
