The child of the Moon

This is the end!

Luna fidgeted as the maids helped her put on her dress, it was long and made with the finest white silk and pale blue lace, she also wore blue shoes to match the lace, her tiara was larger, also pale blue and had a large deep blue sapphire in it. She couldn't stop fidgeting, she had been standing for what felt like hours and her legs felt like they were going to cave-in on themselves. Celestia and Luna were both getting ready for the big ceremony, and Luna couldn't help but notice that Celestia was fidgeting even more than she was, she suppressed a giggle, Celestia was swaying back and forth, Luna was almost surprised that none of the maids smacked her.

Luna turned her gaze back to the mirror in front of her, she looked like a stereotypical princess, fancy dress, fancy shoes, fancy tiara, she was even getting a fancy mane-do. She looked to the other side of the room and found Twilight and Cadence also being forced into elegant dresses, Cadence stood as still as a statue and Twilight moved more than Celestia, they all looked like stereotypical princesses. Finally the maids finished what they were doing and Luna could move again, Cadence was actually finished first because she didn't cause the maids any trouble, but she had them going over the dress again just to make sure that everything was done properly.

Luna hopped off the pedestal she had been forced to stand on and the joints in her legs immediately felt better, but next she would have to sit on a cushion so that some stylists could do her make-up and do something to her mane. She sat on the cushion and the stylists jumped to work, lipstick, blush, eye shadow, eye liner, other things she couldn't name. When she felt it was safe enough to open her eyes she looked into the mirror, she wasn't certain that she was looking at herself. She had red lipstick, pale pink blush, and deep purple eye shadow. Luna sighed, she would have preferred to dress simply and to keep her plain old everyday make-up, but Celestia insisted on this.

Cadence sat down on a cushion next to her, again taking up her rigid stance allowing the maids and stylists to work faster. Then a ripping sound filled the room, everyponies heads turned to find that the train on Celestia's dress had a gaping hole in it, the silence was broken by many jaws hitting the floor. "Celestia set this up," Everypony thought. "Of course she would ruin everything.".

"Oops." Celestia said with a very nervous, very forced smile.

"Ce-Ce-CELESTIA! THOU HAST MADE US DRESS IN THESE OBNOXIOUSLY-HARD TO PUT ON-DRESSES, AND THOU RIPEST THY OWN!?" Luna's voice pushed back all the ponies around her. "HOW DIDST THOU EVEN MANAGE TO RIP SILK FROM THE MIDDLE!? AS FAR AS WE KNOW THOU HAST TO START AT THE EDGE!"

"C-Calm down Luna, I-I can fix this." Celestia replied. she looked at the rip. "Never mind, we need a seamstress."

One of the maids left the room and came back a while later with, the one and only, Rarity. "Darling, I'm sure its not as bad as you say it is." She told the maid. Then she saw the dress, the scream was heard in the Changling Empire. "That silk is made with real GOLD thread! How in the EXTREMELY wide world of Equestria did you rip it!? From the middle!?"

"Can you fix it?" Celestia asked, once again forcing a nervous smile.

"Luckily, I can." Rarity replied, she hated it when ponies ripped fabulous pieces of clothing. "I need more lace, gotta cover up the new stitching." She began sewing the hole, and mumbling. A maid handed her some lace, Rarity mumbled something that sounded like "Thank You" and began sewing the lace over the new stitching. She finished and stood up. "There, all done. PLEASE don't rip it again, you wouldn't believe how long it took me to not only make the silk but the dress as well." She gave a small bow to Celestia and headed for the door, mumbling something about "Discord's probably got his new suit covered in cotton candy and chocolate milk already."

Luna shook her head and sat back down on her cushion, she did want everything to be perfect. The stylists resumed whatever it was they were doing to Luna's hair, and eventually Celestia and Twilight joined them to have their manes and make-up done. The Ceremony was in two hours.

********************************

Luna, Celestia, Cadence, Twilight and Discord, all stood on the balcony over-looking the crowd of ponies from all over Equestria, they were all dressed in clothes befitting royalty. Celestia was giving one of her long-winded speeches, Cadence and Twilight were trying to look as regal as possible, Luna was going over her lines in her head, and Discord was making a valiant effort to not fall asleep.

"And now, fillies and gentlecolts, I give you my dear sister, Luna." Celestia finished as she stepped aside, allowing Luna the center stage.

"Citizens of Equestria, only days ago I embarked on a very silly quest, to outshine my sister Celestia in a science duel, this quest took me to three different countries, Saddle Arabia, The South East Islands Empire and the Changling Empire. In fact it was because of what I accomplished through this quest that peace-talks with the Changling Empire have been opened. When I returned, I went to work and created something spectacular. Mares and Stallions of Equestria I give you Stellar, the Prince of the Night!" Discord pushed forward and raised Stellar above the crowds, he was holding the colt upside-down but the ponies cheered anyway.

********************************

Luna walked back to her room, Stellar was perched on her head making cute gurgling sounds that only a baby can make, she opened the door to her room and noticed a faint snoring sound, she turned her head and noticed that the guard outside her room was asleep. Luna giggled at the sight, she looked into her room and grabbed a spare blanket and put it over the guard, with that done she entered her chambers and put Stellar into his new crib, with a flick of her magic she closed her curtains, shutting the daylight out. She turned back to her son and found him sleeping peacefully, she smiled warmly and kissed his forehead. "Sweet dreams, my young prince. I will see you at moonrise." With that said, she climbed onto her bed and fell into her own peaceful slumber, tomorrow was a new night full of who-knows-what.
