[TWILIGHT'S P.O.V]
I sat up at my desk, looking down at the notes jotted on a scroll beneath me. I wrote them neatly, as not to be a method of distraction for myself! That'd be contradictory in so many ways, limiting the neatness I need to be able to read this long, garbled mess of my thoughts on stars, how puny and drawn out they are.
Twilight. Get a hold of yourself!
I breathed in, looking at the night sky above me. Why couldn't I understand the stars? The moon, and my pique of interest, the stars.
I, Twilight Sparkle, have loved the stars since I was a filly, always loving and wanting to embrace the glimmering appearance of the orbs of light. I found them beautiful, and an item worth of appraisal. Along with my BBBFF, I often stargazed, seeing the constellations line the blue sky, along with it's many hues. This was a favoured pass time of mine, as it kept me calm. I enjoyed seeing the sun set as well, leading into the hues of orange, and red that soon faded into the black, blue, and white of the night sky.
Looking at it now, I felt confusion in place of my former adoration.
Why can't I understand the stars? Why must they hide from me? I thought, my brow bunched, as I let my eyes close and lead to the blackness of my eyelids covering my pupil and cornea. I tried to recall of all I knew of the stars, and that fruitless effort lead to more confusion. I loved them, I truly did.
" What are you, stars? " I whispered to herself, my voice hoarse from many hours of silence, was filled with anguish.
I proceeded to looked down, before grabbing a fresh scroll and writing it myself. Why is Spike always asleep when I need him to do late-night letter writings?
Dear Princess Celestia,
I have a piqued interest in the Stars, and despite my years of adoration, I find myself empty-hooved in knowledge about them.
Can you send somepony to help?
Your fellow princess and stargazer,
Twilight Sparkle.
Satisfied with my letter, I smiled down at it. Short and sweet, right to the point. Perhaps with a few extra details, but she won't mind, right? Using my hoof to fix my messy mane which had fallen into my face, smiling up at the moon.
Soon walking to my bed, I immediately relaxed as my muscles contracted. I felt the warmness of the blanket, as I let the plush, sweet embrace of sleep entrance my tired form into a state of unconsciousness.
I was having a good sleep.
Then I proceeded to dream about the stars.
Even in the dreamworld, I was confused by them. My form wrapped in an ethereal blue light, almost similar to levitation.
It was then which I screamed, realizing a black pit was underneath me, glittering, waiting to swallow my form, to digest it into nothing but a black miasma to conjoin with the rest of it's sick, vile self.
The levitation pulled me over to a cloud, to which I comfied myself upon. I felt safe, but I realized it was the sky underneath me.
How could I have such vile thoughts about the sky? I pondered to myself, before realizing my consciousness was probably controlling all of this, this enormous fallacy.
To then see a black figure walking towards me, made my eye twitch. This monster is going to push me off. She then unveiled herself, revealing her form.
" Luna? " I said to her, coughing lightly. I can't believe I thought of her as a monster!
" Ah, hello my dear Twilight Sparkle. " She nodded her head towards me, her eyes closing. " I have heard from a letter to my sister that you need help? "
I nodded vigorously, my eyes opening. " I simply... Don't understand the stars! I love them, yes, but they are far confusing! "
" What are the stars, actually? " I asked her quietly, lifting my hoof, and leaning forward. My head tilted at a 40 degree angle.
" You shall learn what they are, tomorrow night. I shan't discuss them in dreams, lest they be forgotten. " Luna nodded towards me, coughing lightly into her hoof.
" So it's a date? " I said, a playful tone entering my normally neutral voice. I smiled up at her, noticing Luna's face going red from the embarrassment. I secretly enjoyed seeing her like this. So vulnerable, so cute!
" Y-Yes, it is then... I suppose, that is! Not like I'd want it to be, you just proposed it! " Luna blurted out, her eyes closed and her face getting redder every second that passed.
" Is wittle Woona embarrassed? " She said, closing her eyes in a smile. It was a playful mock, and Luna returned it.
" Well then. Why is your face red as well, my dear Twilight? Are you enjoying our soon to be, " Date "? " Luna said, and I then realized my OWN face was red! I-I was so embarrassed by this, that I hid my face behind my hoof. Infront of my own peer, no less! I hope I didn't mess up...
Luna chuckled, as she proceeded to notice my face. She looked up at the door above her, nodding.
" I must go. " She spoke, her tone quiet still.
" I'll enjoy our date, then. " I said, as Luna looked back as well.
" As will I, dearest Twilight. See you then. " She said, as Luna looked through the vortex. I watched as Luna elegantly became nothing but miasma, that soon ended up being only an outline of the mare. The mare then lifted her head highly, her horn lighting up. Luna's outline did an elegant 360 in air, her hooves outstretched. Her form vanished lightly, taking on a transparent and ghastly tinge. Her wings spread, as she used her magic. The magic surrounded her form, lifting her to the door in the sky.
She then floated through the door, a little item falling from her form. A crown, that should be perched on Luna's head. Leaving an in-awe me with something that would eventually hit my head.
I would be damned if I ever claimed it wasn't the most beautiful thing I has ever seen. Has anypony else seen this? I hope not! I wanted it to be an intimate share between us, a slow moment that we could relish and look back upon. I'd never forget this, even if I had to!
Because really, I have never, in all of my years, seen anything as fair, as regal, as relaxed and composed as the leaving of a dream, demonstrated by the Princess of the Night herself, Luna.
Then the crown hit my head, waking me up. When I stirred, my rattled form groaned lightly. Turns out, injuries in the dreamworld count for reality, too!
I opened my eyes, seeing a small, black onyx crown in my hooves. I had to return this to her, or else she might've thought I stole it! Well, I am no thief, and I am no liar! I shall return it to her tonight, during our date! I smiled, realizing that I'd be going on a date.
