"Hello! Twilight here! I'm just here to say that King Sombra wasn't a villain in this universe but a rather swell guy and, awesome king. With that out of the way enjoy!"

It was a normal day. Luna was wide awake her eyes shadowed. Celestia walked in.

"Luna is something wrong?" Celestia asked felling concerned. Her sister was never up in the morning unless something serious happened.

"I can't sleep sister. Every since he left for the sheep lands." Luna said with disappointment.

"Luna, are you worried about Sombra?" Celestia asked with concern.

"Yes sister. I wish we could have saved him. He shouldn't be stuck with nothing but sheep." Luna said.

"I know he was your friend Luna. But he will be fine." Celestia said calmly.

"Still I would like a new friend." Luna said.

"Well then. I'll get you a new friend." Cellestia said as she teleported from her sister's bedroom. Celestia then ended up in Twilight Library. It was carved out of the finest tree and, it's selves lined with the finest books. 'She would be perfect for Luna.' Celestia thought as she trotted up the stairs to Twilight who was sitting in her bed.

"Celestia? What are you doing here?" Twilight asked.

"Twilight I need you to go to Canterlot for the night. My sister is not feeling lonely. I would like you help her." Celestia said.

"But princess why can't you do it? She is your sister." Twilight pointed out.

"I tried helping her Twilight. But she wants a friend and I can only do so much. As a senior member of the shipping counsel I urge you to help her."

Twilight was a bit worried. She knew about the shipping counsel and how they helped Applejack and Rainbow Dash fall in love. While she was happy for them, Twilight wasn't looking for a relationship right now.

"Okay Celestia, I'll go be her friend." Twilight said somewhat reluctantly.

"Excellent! I'll inform her right away!" With that Celestia disappeared in a flash of pink sparkles.

"Luna! I found you a friend!" Celestia said filled with cheer.

"Wait you did?" Luna asked surprised.

"Yes I did sister! It's my student Twilight." Celestia said with a smile.

"Oh Twilight. Even better heh, heh. Luna said with a slight blush. Luna wasn't sure why but an unknown feeling took over her when Twilight was mentioned.

"Great she'll be arriving tonight. I hope you two have fun!" With that Celestia was off.

Twilight was going to arrive tonight. Luna went to get ready. She tidied up her mane, polished her garb and, took a bath. When she exited it was almost time for Twilight to arrive.

An hour passes and Twilight knocks on the bedroom door. While Twilight waited she examined the door. It was a light violet coluor with many markings and indents. Some of them swirled and twisted while others lie separate from the twist and turns. Each one carefully hoof crafted to make the double doors symmetrical. She examined the wood of the door. despite being thousands of years old it looked brand new. Not a single splinter or chirped paint. The coluor was evenly distriputed making a near perfect door. With some jewelery it could be perfect but that didn't matter right now because Luna opened the door.

"Oh hello there Miss Sparkle." Luna said with a smile. "Sorry I kept you waiting.

"Oh no it's no trouble at all. I wa sjust staring at this door, this very interesting door." Twilight said very pleased.

"Very well let us commence the friendship ritual!" Luna declaired.

"Um. Okay then." Twilight awkwardly replied.

"Well then what do you like?" Luna asked.

"Well I like books, reading, writing and, satire." Twilight said.

"Well I love those thing to. Ha, ha! The friendship has been doubled!"

Twilight then groaned at the very old joke.

"Did you not like that saying?" Luna asked as she raised an her right eye slightly.

"No Luna it was dead on arrival." Twilight said mildly annoyed.

"Well then. What else is there to do?" Luna asked

"Well how about we get to know each other? There isn't much to me. I just live in a library and sort books. Surly you have something interesting." Twilight said with excitement.

"Well I had a friend named Sombra. He was quite the stallion. He showed me how to rule. But now he is stuck in the land of sheep destined to be bored for all eternity." Luna looked to the stars saddened by her lost friend.

"Well Luna I could help." Twilight said offering comfort.

"You mean your willing to be my new best friend? Luna asked.

"No something more." Twilight blushed when she said that.

"Very well I'd like to give that a try." Luna said with a blush.

Meanwhile with the shipping counsel...

"Very good job Celestia. Two months and two ships! Our influence grows with each month!" The leader yells.

"Well I'm very happy to help. The other Celestias are doing their job as we speak.

"Excellent! We look forward to more ships! Hopefully this month is more succseful than the last. The leader said.

"I hope so to. Celestia said with confidence as she exited the alternate dimension to return to equestria one. Once she returned she saw Luna and, Twilight cudding on he bed. She smiled and returned to her room for the night where she could sleep her troubles away. THE END!
