The gentle night breeze rippled the leaves of the tree that was Ponyville’s library, making a pleasant rustle as the branches swayed in the wind.
Inside the structure, a dark alicorn watched as her elder sister’s personal protégé tucked a light purple dragon into the covers of his bed, the most tender of expressions on her face.
“Goodnight Spike,” murmured Twilight Sparkle as she pulled the sheets over her number one assistant.
“G’night…”
Twilight chuckled as Spike started to snore almost immediately. “You must be really tired out from Nightmare Night!”
Luna smiled at the sight. Twilight was such a kind, kind pony; the night princess felt lucky indeed to have met her.
“Wow Princess, it was such a wonderful night,” said the unicorn, turning to address the Goddess of the Moon, “you really should come back sometime! Oh, and I can walk with you to your chariot… I’m so glad you had a good time tonight.”
The Princess had requested that her chariot await her by the statue of Nightmare Moon when it had arrived to escort her back to the castle, insisting that she wanted to accompany Twilight back to her tree house.
She knew it was not necessary, but all she really wanted was to steal some more time with the unicorn that had taught her so much about friendship. She had never felt so carefree in her whole life; at least, not since she was a little filly – and that was thousands of years ago.
She looked at the purple mare as they stepped onto the landing of the library and into the cool dark night. Making their way back to the clearing with Nightmare’s statue, Luna smiled with heartfelt warmth.
“Twilight Sparkle, I really do have to express my gratitude for everything you have done for me .”
The bookish unicorn looked up, beaming at the Princess of the Night. “Really, it was nothing! And I’m so happy that you’re happy, Princess!”
Luna couldn’t help the wide grin that was spreading across her face. Happiness radiated from her. “I do not think it was… nothing. No pony has ever cared so much about me, apart from my dear sister. And you, Twilight Sparkle, of all ponies, should call me Luna.”
“Okay… Luna.” The scholarly mare and her regal companion finally arrived at the small meadow. The royal guards nodded at the pair.
“If there is something I may ask, Twilight?” the lunar princess asked, pausing before the chariot. “Would you like to join me for tea at the castle…? At a time convenient to you, of course.”
The lavender unicorn looked up in wonder at the alicorn. “I would be honored, Prin – Luna. But I wouldn’t want to impose, I’m sure you have quite a busy schedule.”
The princess pouted pleadingly. “It was your kindness that taught me the magic of friendship, Twilight Sparkle, and I would most love your companionship…”
“Well, then… I’d love to spend more time with you, Luna, but I have to tell you, you also taught me something very important about friendship!” the unicorn smiled. “You can send me a letter to tell me when you would like me to visit, I’m sure your agenda is much fuller than mine.”
“Very well, we shall meet anon!” The alicorn raised her hoof in farewell as her guards extended their bat-like wings to take off. “Goodbye, my friend!” Warmth blossomed in her heart upon hearing herself utter the words. A friend… I have made a friend.
------
Luna squirmed a little in her sheets, giggling to herself. It was mad, feeling so hyped like this when she was all alone, but she just couldn’t contain the joy that seemed to have taken hold of her. A friend, a friend, a friend! She hugged her blankets, the stars in her astral mane twinkling like tiny supernovas.
The happy princess couldn’t wait to check – or adjust if need be – her schedule for some free time.
------
Princess Celestia watched as her sister trotted to their royal dining table. It was evident that she was in high spirits; the bounce in her steps and the sparkles in her mane were a just a few signs.
“Luna, you seem to be in a good mood today! I presume Nightmare Night went well?”
The lunar goddess grinned – a bit goofily, for a princess – and sat down on her gilded seat. “My dear sister, it was… to say the least, the most wonderful of nights!”
Celestia was smiling as well. She had never seen her sister so radiant and happy since she broke free of Nightmare Moon, and it was infectious. “I’d like to hear what happened in detail. Twilight Sparkle told me in her letter that you made some friends?”
“Yes! And I have her to thank for it! But to tell you the truth, Celly, the night did not go well for us-me at first…” The younger sister’s head bowed slightly at the recollection.
The solar princess gave Luna an encouraging smile, urging her to continue. She noted happily that her sister was now taking care not to use the Royal Canterlot Speech in daily conversation.
“The ponies of Ponyville were very afraid of me in the beginning. Whomever I talked with cowered in fear, even the mayor mare. But your student, Twilight Sparkle, was always there for me. It was she that taught us-me how to get along with the citizens.”
Princess Celestia beamed with pride. “I am glad both of you learned something about friendship last night. And I am so proud of you, Luna.”
“I am so happy! The ponies, they all laughed with me when I played the games. I got high scores too.” The blissful alicorn grinned playfully. “Oh, and I have invited Twilight Sparkle over to tea. I was wondering if you would like to join us.”
“Did you set a date yet?”
“I was thinking next week, after I raise the moon.”
The elder alicorn lifted a hoof thoughtfully. “Dusk tea? But that would probably be afternoon for you, since you usually get up in the afternoon… you need to remember that Twilight might want to go back to Ponyville for the night, though. If that were the case, the time would be somewhat limited.”
“Ah, I hadn’t thought of that! Very well, I shall compose a letter as soon as I return to my chambers. If she wishes to return to Ponyville, I will simply have to adjust the time.”
Princess Celestia leaned over and gently nuzzled her sister. “Good, you are learning to be considerate towards your friends.”
“Thank you, sister,” answered Luna happily. “Oh, and could you help me send the letter? I am aware that thou art – I mean, you are – the only one at present connected to Twilight’s dragon scribe.”
“Of course, but if you would like to contact her more frequently, you could place the linking spell on him next time you visit Ponyville,” said the Sun Goddess. “And you’re starting to get used to the new Equestrian now! A night with Twilight Sparkle and you have changed so much…” She smirked teasingly at her sister. “I think I may be a bit jealous of her.”

I like the feel of the story, seems like Slice-of-life.
I liked it, and am going to fav and track this. But please, please, PLEASE make one minor change.
Change the word "English" to "Equestrian". Just because they are speaking in english on from our side of the screen doesn't necessarily mean their speaking actual English.
oh, and naturally....MOAR!! NOWZZ!!
>>247076 Thanks for the 
s and the track!
>>247080 Thanks 
You're really fast!

>>247348 Glad you think so~!
>>247354 Thanks! And there's the sad tag...
>>247375 Time has passed but in Luna Eclipsed she still acts like that... perhaps Celestia didn't want to be too motherly and over-caring? Occasionally reminding her but not really emphasizing it.
>>247381 Thanks 
>>247394 Yay, thanks!
>>247448 I was astounded... I thought they usually mostly feature EqD stuff and I've seen some trollfics and pretty much HiE... I'm so honored that this was featured 
>>247567 It's one of my favs, and there are plenty of great ones out there :)
>>247637 Yep yep~ and thanks! :D
>>247755 Pony shipping's awesome 
>>247833 Thanks! Doubled doubled and let's hope Celestia's not too teasy...
>>247845 Glad it did
>>247918 Hope I can get the next one out soonish.
>>248018 
...She trollin' don't care? 
>>248021 Thanks!!! And glad to hear you want longer
>>248096 Of course I don't mind, 
>>248140 She don't even care if Spike's like regurgitating 3 times a minute...
>>248326 I felt horrible for him when watching that episode 
>>248339 Perhaps...
>>248372 Thanks

>>249404 Yeah, I can't believe I didn't find something wrong with that... fixed!
>>249693 Thanks! I recognize you from dA I wanted to emphasize that Luna really found her kind?
>>249761 Glad you think so! But then there's a sad tag... it's there, must be a reason
>>249807 Thank you~
>>249991 Thanks, I'm working on the next one, but I'm thinking of making it longer...
>>250014 I'm really grateful for your suggestion I've fixed it and I apologize for not noticing that before
>>250039 Twi-Luna
The name comes from my OC pony.
This is the only thing that came to my mind when she mentioned dragon scribe,

>>250654 XD Yeah, I know! (Starfall is the name of one spell/ability of a Champion of an MMO Arena game called League of Legends, whose name is Soraka. (She's a Unicorn! XD) Anyhoof, Starfall is her only damaging ability, and it summons stars to fall on the enemies, reducing their Magic Resist. So your username/OC reminded me of Soraka, and therefore the song about her from LoL! XD)
Victorus Aut Mortis (Victory or Death)!
OKEYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just confuse here since I kinda recall this Fic already concluded and originally posted over at DEVIANT ART by the Author who I can't recall as of yet, which kinda was over a year ago or more of whom had a similar starting premise such as this(I could still remember) that might have been a coincidence along its either just in my head for coming up with such a conclusion.
Still I'm just asking just to verify if its fine by you? If this one was the one and the same of the two Fics that had such a similar Title than I read before? And if it is then I'm surely going to rediscover the original just to see if it had some additional elements to it than its earlier predecessor.

for She is the salvation of Pony-kind
Obey Her words
for She will lead you into the light of the future,
Heed her wisdom
for She will protect you from Evil
Whisper her prayers with devotion,
for they will save your Soul
Honour Her servants,
for they speak in Her voice
Tremble before Her majesty,
for we all walk in Her immortal shadow."
LOL That's a great pic!!! And is it a coincidence that... well you'll see in the next chapter
I'm sorry but it could not have been me, as I only started writing about a month ago... and this story takes place after Luna Eclipsed, which was aired in October 2011 if I recall correctly? Hmm, if it was one of the earlier Twi-Luna fics then I am sure there are lots of great ones out there... but it would not be mine
Yeah it wasn't you since I've found the original Fic, which is my fault to being with for confusing the two in part of how both had there respected titles started with "Moonlit" with the tale on DA having a companion being "Sparkles" instead of your own having "Balcony" instead.
The mistake was on my part to begin with because of it and well I must ask if you already read "Moonlit Sparkles" one already for the most part you guessed of the pairing being a TwiLuna one?

And we would have no purpose

The title itself I did not remember, but upon running a search for it I realized that I had in fact read it before! But the reason I chose this title for this fanfic is because... oh well I don't now if this counts as a spoiler but they will have tea on the balcony and it becomes a very special place for them. Wow, didn't realize that the title would be similar to another Twi-Luna
Wow, that was a great first chapter. I am almost at a lose for words. ALMOST!
I enjoyed this chapter very much, so I must say thank you for writing it and posting it on here. I'm looking forward to whenever you post the next chapter. Although waiting for all these chapters to be posted is causing me to fall into a bit of madness, but I somehow keep myself sane enough to go on with day to day living.
And I went on a rant.... sorry about that..... Okay, well this first chapter was so well done that I must give you this:
