I stood, watching the crowd of happy civilians praise their princess of the sun. She waved her hand, not knowing it was going in circles instead of back and forth. That wasn't the only odd thing about her. She had insisted that her crush, a cute boy named Day Stars that even I had to admit was adorable, stood near the doorway. She strangely wanted a glass of a "special" apple cider that I did not know about. On the princess was a short dress that barely covered her skin and showed some on the upper end. It was hot pink and, well, sexy. Her balance was off in her tall high heels. Something was very wrong. I looked over at Day Stars. "Do you notice anything wrong?" I asked. He smirked, then slowly replied.
"Nooo, just that.... I'm noot there. Yeah. That's it," he slurred. He smiled at the princess. I glared at him. He was speaking like he was drunk. I watched him sway over to the sun princess. They started to get real close. I turned away. That was the kind of stuff I dislike a whole lot.
"Ew." I covered my face in disgust, slowly letting my hand fall. That was when I saw the servant, Cherry Blossom. On her tray was an empty wine glass, which was often used for hard apple cider. Curious. I decided to ask Cherry Blossom.
"Ms. Blossom, could you tell me what the wine glass was used for?" I asked her politely. She dipped her head.
"Celestia requested some hard apple cider, Princess Luna. Day Stars drank some too," Cherry Blossom reported. My answer to Celestia's strange behavior was answered. Drinking was a poisonous thing to do. It destroyed your reputation. Crushed your faith. Broke relationships and caused dangerous things. It was obvious nothing could would come out of this decision she had so poorly made. Chaos would happen. Problems will break out from the outrage of the anger people had from Celestia's decision. And I will be in the middle of it, blamed for not taking care of my sister. I am always blamed for peoples' problems. The live of the night princess is dark. I fiddled with my dark blue hair with my finger. I looked different from others because I am black. Most people are white. I had to go do something so the people can't say I did nothing to stop her. I breathed in. Fixed up my flowing dress. Straightened up my crown. I walked out.
"I love you all! All of you weird colored people!" Celestia cried to the unsuspecting crowd. They were silent, just staring at there princess. Was this the true her? She begin kissing Day Stars again. I felt the urge to leave and barf in a bucket.
"Hold it together," I whispered to myself, swallowing down my lunch. I pushed them aside and embraced the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I deeply apologize for this, but I am afraid Celestia is drunk. There was...um....a mix up with her drink. Instead of water to help her greet you with a warm and welcoming voice, she got...cider. Hard cider. I reasure you that she did not do this on purpose," I announced. The crowd looked stunned. They didn't know how to react to the news. Celestia never got drunk in public. And when she did here, I was able to control her. But this was different. I couldn't control her. Her actions were seen by everyone and her privateness was no longer save. I was embarrassed by her actions. "I ask to please leave. This is very hard for me to let you see her like this. I want her to be save." The people mummered in agreement, turning around to leave. They walked off, some to hotels, some to their houses, and a few to the castle. I regonized them and knew they had permission to go in. I turned to my crazy drunk sister who was still making out. She was not moving off the balcony. I sighed, knowing what must be down. Holding down my last meal, I stretched out my long hands. Focusing the energy of my mind and my moon, I created magic around my hands. The same blue magic appeared around the two lovebirds. I levitated them up, my arms shaking from their weight as I carried them gently into the protecting walls of the castle. I walked in after them, also using my power to shut the drapes. Finally I lost it. Grabbing a luckily nearby bucket, I felt myself give in to my stomach.
"Princess, are you feeling better?" My new personal servant, Raindrops, checked on me. I laid propped up on my royal bed. I had been quickly escorted here after I used the bucket. Whenever I do, I can lose conscious easily and become very sick. It didn't happen this time, but I felt a little lightheaded.
"Better, thank you Raindrops," I replied. I took the water she had brought me and drank some. I looked back at Raindrops.
"How is Celestia? Have the Magicals restored her to sober?" I asked. Raindrops nodded. I relaxed. That was one less thing to worry about. The doors opened with a yellow magic. Celestia!
"Sis? Are you okay? Oh, I'm so sorry!" Celestia sobbed. She ran up the steps, right to me. She hugged me tight, but not too tight. Tears dripped onto my skin. I felt a part of me forgive her.
"It's okay. I'm sure you didn't mean to." She let go of me, fixing her white gown. She smiled at me.
"Yes, it was a mistake." Something was not right in the way she said that, and started backing away.
"Is something wrong?" I had to make sure she was fully sober. It would be dreadful to have her still drunk.
"Of course not, little sis! Now you just play nice and stay away from naughties." I curiously watched her walk smoothly away, not really understanding her behavior. At the door, Celestia leaned down to Raindrops. She whispered something. Both of them snickered. Why did they laugh like that?
"Princess Luna, you must stay in bed. You never know what may happen, after the bucket and all," Raindrops said, stopping me as I tried to get out for the tenth time. I wanted to talk with Celestia, but Raindrops wouldn't let me out. She must have known what Celestia thought was funny. I looked at her. Glared into her eyes.
"What did she tell you?" I pressed, letting my voice drop a few octaves. If I had to, I would use my nightmare voice. But I do not like using it, in fear of letting Nightmare Moon back out.
"Nothing. I-I don't know what you're talking about!" Raindrops smiled lopsided. She was lying, and not doing a very good job at it.
"Oh really?" I glared deeper. She trembled a little. But nothing came out. Rage was the only thing I knew right now. I tried with all my willpower to stop myself from screaming, or from using Nightmare's voice. But I lost. My rage was enough to let her voice out.
"TELL ME!!!!" I could hear myself echoing across the walls of my large room, entering the halls, frightening the guards outside. Not wanting trouble, I locked the door with my magic. I looked back at Raindrops. She had covered her face with her hands, curled up into a ball, and was shivering heavily.
"Nothing! Nothing!" Raindrops barely told yet another lie. She hardly made out the words. What a liar.
Use the mind spell The mind spell would be good. A great way to get the truth. And maybe the only way. I relaxed. I let my eyes closed. I listened for Raindrops. She was still on the ground. She has stopped. Probably noticed that I have closed my eyes. Standing up slowly, Raindrops has looked closely at me. I focused all my strength, all my energy into creating powerful magic. Maybe even dark magic. I sent this flow to my eyes. When she looked into them, I would enter her memory.
"P-princess Luna?" Raindrops leaned closer. Close enough for me to grab her. All at once, I gripped onto her maid dress, opened my eyes, and looked at hers. Sure enough, her eyes turned black as I entered her mind. I could see all her memories floating by. None were what I was looking for. I went back an hour ago to where Celestia had entered my room. We hugged, chatted a little, and Celestia finally started to leave. She approached Raindrops. Celestia was smirking! Bending down, she whispered to Raindrops.
"Plan worked. She doesn't know that I was supposed to get drunk. She has been successfully humiliated!" Celestia whispered. Both girls giggled. Rage, bigger than the one I had at Raindrops, flew at me so fast, I couldn't control it. I screamed as I came out of Raindrops's head. My eyes sparked with anger. Raindrops collapsed onto the ground. I didn't mind. I bolted out my wings. They were a dark, navy blue. I flew up into the air.
"Celestia!!" I screamed in Nightmare's voice. I didn't even wait to open the door. I blasted it open, soaring so fast, the guards spun around, not able to process what had happened quick enough. I routed my way through the walls. My hands were in tight fists. My eyes were glowing with power of anger. I reached Celestia's room. As I stopped, my night hair swung in front of me before returning to their normal state. Celestia stared at me, her eyes large with fear.
"L-Luna?" Her voice was cracked as she backed away from me.
That's it. Be scared. Be frightened. And you let your sister rule! I could hear Nightmare's voice inside of me. Her power surged through my fingers.
"Yes, I have to agree, Nightmare," I replied outloud to her in my voice.
"It's been long enough, Celestia," Nightmare said through me," It is time to let darkness rule." Celestia looked more frightened than ever before.
"No! Luna! Fight her! This is not you!" I laughed at her. How she thought I was still her innocent little sister.
"That is what you think! But things are different now. We are NO LONGER YOUR SISTER!!! We are your QUEEN!"
