Diary of the Night

Reunion - Chapter 59

There is one pony alone in all of Celestia’s day guard that may be respected in the night guard: Morning Star. Sergeant Morning Star has a mediocre record with Celestia’s guard. He has shown remarkable personal discipline yet a poor adherence to his training. His superiors have regarded his tactics as unconventional and dishonorable. I take this to mean they are not entirely stupid and suicidal in nature.

Celestia was not fazed by my rejection of Shining, or Captain Shining Armor as he will soon be called. She regarded the information with that half-smile she gets when she is scheming. It is a small, unreadable curve of her lips that has been my bane for centuries. My sister’s games are not always kind.

She is planning something. I do not know what it could be but her plan has already been set in motion. I cannot help but believe that I have already played into her hoofs.

She is planning something.

Luna, please. You should know by now "Celestia is planning something" is a tautology.

I cannot help but believe that I have already played into her hoofs.

Hooves.

First line or so, you want sergeant. Much as that seems wrong.

3109027 Actually either is acceptable, at least that's the case in the US. I prefer 'hoofs' to 'hooves' just because it's simpler and implies a more archaic syntax. thanks for the catch though.

3110041 Thanks I tried to spell that word three times and went with the one that looked the least wrong, glad to know what it really is.

You're probably right, Luna. In fact, I'll go a step further: She offered Shining to you expecting you to reject him. Indeed, she may have been plotting this as far back as the snowball fight.
