"Luna, why are you pacing so much?" Princess Celestia nudged her as she paced beside the window near her balcony.

"I'm just thinking, sister." She replied . She shook her flowing mane, which resembles the night sky. Princess Celestia had mane with beautiful pattern of green,pink and blue. She stared out the window and could spot the Sparkling Tree Castle of Princess Twilight. The Castle of Harmony, that's what she had called it. I shuddered. Being trapped in Tatarus with Princess Cadence and her sister was still in her mind. Almost like when she had been sent to the moon, powerless, but at least she wasn't alone and she knew where her magic had gone. And Discord...he was finally trusted by Princess Twilight and his friends. She sighed and picked up a book from her library to read. Most of my books were about the night sky, astromnomy, shooting stars, cosmology, eclipses any anything that included the universe. She flipped through the book about eclipses and stiffen. The next solar eclipse was coming up soon! How could that be?

"Luna, you sure you're ok?" My sister comes over and reads the page. "Oh, that! I can't believe i forgot to tell you this!" Celestia scolded herself. "It's not like me to be forgetful.

"I remember doing solar eclipses, but this one feels different. Like some danger will come soon..." I murmured. Celstia shifted her hooves. "A total solar eclipse doesn't occur that often, so maybe you think this one should be special." Luna glanced down at the page again.        

"It's  partial eclipse that is coming...but that means that I have to raise the moon to block the sun!" She felt distraught at the thought. Why? She thought. She had done an eclipse before, but why did she feel so....upset about this one? Celstia rested her wing on her sister's back.

"Not the entire sun. Only part of it. If i recall, the sun shall be in the shape of the moon! Like the night merging with the day! Won't that be wonderful?" Luna shrugged, but a nagging thought was in her head. Although everypony had accepted her and her wonderous night, the thought of blocking out her sister's sun still brought back to aching memories of when she had become Nightmare Moon.

"Luna, you're not eager? I thought you always wanted this." Celestia teased. Luna flattened her ears and turned around. How could she joke about something like that?!

"No! I never wanted it! It was only because of jealousy, Tia. Jealousy! i never truly wanted what happened all those years ago deep down in my heart!" She wailed, sounded like a little filly again. She had even called Celestia 'Tia', a nickname for her big sister when she had been small. She swung open the door to her balcony, lifted her wings and flew off into the night sky. Behind her, she heard her sister cry out, "Luna!" But the Princess of the Night did not turn back, not when the hurt from her sister's words was still inside her.
