	"Luna, I'm telling, you, I can't do this!"

Princess Celestia stood in front of her sister, almost suffocating in her first date dress, which had looked bigger than it really was. "Beauty hurts, sister." Luna replied, eyeing her older sibling from head to toe. "But I look totally ridiculous!" Celestia whined. Luna rolled her eyes. "You look beautiful. Now shut up." 

"But-" Luna clapped her hooves and two ponies came by, handing her some flash cards. "Luna, what are those for?" The alicorn asked almost fearfully. "These are what you're going to use to practice your lines." Celesta's eyes widened. "My lines? I have lines?" 

The Night princess again rolled her eyes. "No, not necessarily. This is just to practice you, um, conversation skills."  Celestia tugged at her dress. "Whatever, can we please just get this over with?" Luna flipped over a flash card. "Okay, now, let's say that the stallion your dating is a fan of jelly. A VERY big fan. How would you start a conversation with this stallion?"
Celestia stared at her sister. "Luna this is stupid. There are no stallions in Equestria that are extremely obsessed with tubs of jelly!"

"You'd be very surprised, sister." Luna replied. "Now how would you start this conversation?" Celestia thought for a moment. "Um... How do you feel about peanut-butter?" Luna face-hoofed. "Let's try another one. Now, the stallion your dating is in love with a beautiful, intelligent, and charming night princess. How would you start a conversation with him?" Now, Celestia face-hoofed. "Luna why would I be dating some one who's in love with my sister?" Luna cleared her throat. "Hehe, Moving on!"

Celestia ran through the "training maze" Luna had prepared for her. She breathed heavily, and sweat was starting to form on her face. Luna was being crazy about this date training. Celestia rounded a corner and suddenly a cardboard cut-out popped up in front of her. It had a picture of a stallion swimming in jelly. "WHAT DO YOU SAY?!" Celestia heard Luna yell from above her. "Um.....What's your favorite type of jelly?" she said. "GOOD!" Luna yelled. The sun princess ran on. 

Luna watched her sister from above, taking pictures of the training maze and Celestia. She scribbled down in her scrapbook, Sister runs through training maze, not knowing that it has no ending. Luna smiled and looked down on her maze, which had an entrance, but no exit. "Ah, I love a good 'prank' as they say." The night princess said, giggling.
