Grandma Luna
“Luna, could you please pass me the tea?” Celestia gently asked.
Luna levitated a fresh pot of tea. Mint green tea with lotus petal. Twas a hard decision with three princess and one pot to share. Cadence was busy with her empire so there was little sugar involved. Twilight usually took earl grey at least once per day. Celestia favored a cup as jasmine. Luna enjoyed any green tea offered to her.
“Thank you,” Celestia sipped her cup.
Mountains of paper work stacked high between the three of them. All files on genealogy. All track records of bloodlines, nobility, inheritance, etc. on every single pony in Equestria.
Twilight picked up one for Rarity, “I had no idea Rarity was a direct descendent to Princess Platinum! Rarity is going to faint when I tell her.”
“Perhaps you should keep that information secret,” Luna chimed, “That mare tends to faint at the sight of mud. Knowledge of sharing blood with a Princess would shock the soul out of her.”
Twilight and Luna shared a laugh loud enough to shake the building.
But mostly scatter all the papers across the floor.
“Luna! Now we have to start all over… again!” Celestia shouted.
“Worry not,” Luna levitated several stacks next to Twilight, “Tis a mere set back.”
“A mere set back? This is the fifth time this happened!”
Twilight hummed curiously at the papers.
“What is it, Twilight?”
“Well…” Twilight flipped through the papers quickly, “I’ve seen papers for Pinkie’s, Applejack’s, Rarity’s, and even Rainbow’s family trees…” she glanced up to her mentor, “But my family tree’s missing.”
“That is curious,” Luna noted, “My side of our family tree is missing as well…”
Celestia visibly sweated. She shifted her eyes away from the other two and chugged her tiny tea cup. Finishing her tea within a second.
“What are you hiding, Tia?” Luna growled with suspicion.
“N-Nothing…”
“You’re a worse lier than Applejack, Princess,” Twilight glared.
“Is it because you’re embarrassed of the stallion I slept with? I know he was… eccentric but he was such a wonderful musician!”
“I know,” Celestia sighed, “He created the entire genre of Heavy Metal,” she shuddered remembering her most hated genre ever.
“Come on, Princess, Metal’s not bad,” Twilight reassured her.
“It consists of hairy stallions screaming in a microphone and blowing up their instruments,” Celestia deadpanned.
“Best genre of all time,” Luna cooed much to Celestia disdain.
“I can understand why you’d be embarrassed of Luna’s tree but what about mine?” Twilight puppy dog eyed Celestia, “Did I disappoint you?”
Celestia avoided the tears by diving under the files, “I-I’m sure we’ll find your papers somewhere in here!”
Luna and Twilight raised their eyebrows at Celestia.
“Uh… LOOK Shining Armor and Princess Cadence’s tree!”
“Is it? Shining’s my brother, his tree is attached to mine.”
Twilight grabbed the paper to find it blank. Celestia quickly darted towards the door. Freedom was within her grasp until Luna tugged on her tail. An audible whack against the floor left Celestia vulnerable to the two predators. She sighed in defeat and stood up.
“Very well,” She pulled a scroll out of her mane, “you caught me.”
Luna eyed the scroll with curiosity, “A single scroll? Is this going to be what it appears to be?”
Celestia nodded with regret, “I’m afraid so…”
Luna unraveled the scroll with Twilight over her shoulder.
An image of Luna and a dark stallion topped the tree. Many, many ponies dotted the tree. Some were recognized as great heroes in history, others not so much, then there were the black sheep (normal ponies). As they drew closer to the bottom Twilight said ‘huh.’
“Yes, huh indeed,” Luna replied for no particular reason. She assumed it was a strange modern thing to do since she noticed several maids speaking in that manner.
“That’s a lot of ponies between you and me,” Twilight mumbled, “Do you think it’d be easier to just call you grandma?”
Luna shrugged, “We suppose that would work when referring to our relation but please call me Luna in casual speak.”
“How are you two so calm about this?!” Celestia gasped.
“What do you mean?” Luna and Twilight asked.
“I found out after taking Twilight under my wing that she was your descendent! I used her to defeat Nightmare Moon! I thought you would be furious to learn another relative used the element of harmony on you!”
“We grew out of that,” Luna waved a hoof, “Nightmare is long gone. A mistake of the past fixed and not needed to be talked of again.”
“That and you admitting you did it shows you have some guilt about it, right?” Twilight stretched her neck to eye Celestia.
“Yes…” Celestia bowed her head, “I’m sorry I never told either of you.”
“I’m mad you never told anyone about me,” Luna leered, “One thousand years! You think it was nice to learn I was never mentioned in history for over one thousand years? Just because you banished me doesn’t mean you could forget me!” Luna stomped her hoof, dark energy arching off her in bolts.
“You’re right,” Celestia teared up a little, “I erased all records of you and hid your bloodline… I don’t even remember why.”
“Um Celestia, I know this is a touchy moment right now but can you two finish this later? We still have paper work to do.”
“Ah yes! We shall continue our endeavors to file the files in their proper places!” Luna grabbed the scroll Celestia held, “Starting with these two…”
“Three,” Twilight corrected.
“Pardon?”
“I’m your descendent so my tree is part of yours,” Twilight pointed to Shining Armor, “That means Shining’s part of it too which mean…”
“Princess Cadence is legally part of my family tree now…”
“That means all four of us are relative,” Celestia stated the obvious.
“Weird… Hopefully we won’t come across another alicorn.”
“If we do, I hope she’s black with neon stripes,” Luna giggled.
Celestia rolled her eyes, “With our luck it’ll turn out to be a red stallion with abandonment issues.”
“Oh Celestia No!” Twilight cried, “That’d be just as bad as finding out Chrysalis is related to us!”
The three of them stopped and went wide eyed.
“…”
“…”
“…”
“Do we have her papers?”
“No…”
“Then we’ll never speak of that ever.”
After an awkward cough the three set back to filing files.
“Still, I can’t believe you two remained so calm when you found out.” Celestia whispered.
Luna shifted in her seat, “It really wasn’t all that shocking.”
“My family had a lot of night themed names in the family,” Twilight grabbed two papers, “I was more shocked to find out you were related to Derpy!”

a nice small story.i liked it
Ha.......sequel
it was a good story it could of had been a bit longer but it is good
sequel its so funny
What, no mention that there all related to Sombra? That crazy uncle no one talks about?
Lemme get this straight...I'm Twilight's granddaughter, by passed down generations, and now it turns out, the soul stone I house in my body, containing Luna's soul, is ALSO my grandmother?! Not to mention the fact that Derpy of all ponies, my ghouly bff delivery mare, is ALSO FAMILY?!!?! *Hyperventilating*
6268648 Exactly. He's the crazy uncle no one talks about.
All I have to say is...
Thanks a whole lot guys!
HOLY GUACAMOLE
I came up with this story after reading several stories in which Twilight was Luna's daughter.
And I do not plan for a sequel... It would ruin the punch line.
6268288 Don't know why you had two thumbs downs. It's one of the nicest things I've read.
Thank you
I find it an even less of a deal than they do. Even if I found out I was related to a king or something 1,000 years ago I wouldn't care. Because thousands or millions of others could be related as well. Heck, about 0.5% of humanity is directly related to Genghis Khan, and that was only 600 years ago. After another 400 years his genes will become even more diluted than it already is. So, 1,000 years related isn't a big deal at all. Most ethnicities have at least some relation in that type of time period.
"Than we'll never speak of that ever."
^ "Then". :3
i think i like this better than the mother luna fics for twilight. it doesn't require a hard or tricky explanation about how the hell twilight could be the child of somepony who hadn't been on equestria for over 970 years before her birth
LOLOLOL
This was pretty neat, though the characters did seem slightly out of character, I liked it.
Nice, yet another story dealing with genealogy.
You misspelled Shining Armor's name. Four times.
Wait, so if Luna is Twilights grandma, and Cadance is Celestia's niece, then does that mean that Shining married . . . his cousin?
6278762 One, two, three... Where's the- OH four. Fixed
Thanks for pointing it out.
Okay, just read this, aaaaand...
6279431
Oh sweet Celestia, you're right.
6279431 it's fine, they're probably cousins 57 times removed by now.
So Celestia is related to Derpy? That explains the niceness. DERPY IS CUTER.
6268891
No. A thousand times no.
6279431
Royalty. Incest is common. Gotta keep it all in the family.
6292635 Besides it's never properly explained exactly how Cadence is related to Celestia and thinking of the ungodly number of generations even within the 1000 years of Luna's banishment their relation would be as 200th+ cousins however many times removed. Any country in the world agrees that past like 3rd cousins or 3 times removed any relation is negligible and it's not technically incest or whatever.
That last line.
It's happened before
6268891
Seriously? Far too many spoilers...
The middle one seems to be a reference to "Merely a Mare", but I don't think I've read the other two stories being referenced here. Which are they?
6613406 That's... actually a joke based on common bad ocs. Alicorns with neon color schemes and black and red alicorns with tragic backstories. I've also seen some think Chrysalis is Celestia's and Luna's other sister.
6616224
Ah. I've had the good fortune to miss most of those; the only one I can recall offhand is a deliberate spoof (featuring a red-coated, black-maned female alicorn).
"Merely a Mare" has its flaws as a story, but is actually pretty good. The alicorn in question is half way between being an antagonist and a plot device, rather than being one of the primary viewpoint characters, and was reasonably handled. The story also has an interesting take on Celestia and Luna (mostly due to it having been written before most of show-canon was established).
Would like a sequel
