One Question (Mated For Life Snippet) · 4:11pm May 22nd, 2020

"We are allowed one question at a time," Luna explained, ignoring Celestia's frown. "Once you have asked your question and it has been answered, the next one along will ask theirs and so on."

"And the dome will shut up anyone who tries to ask more?"

"Or who tries to talk over another, yes," Luna nodded, smiling at me.

I couldn't get over how it didn't make me feel...creeped out. There was something off about her, but in a way that I didn't understand.

"Sister this is not how I wished for this to be," Celestia said, a disappointed expression on her face as she looked at Luna.

"And how did you wish for this to be?" she replied, a sudden steel in her tone as she looked at the table, avoiding Celestia's gaze. "No, don't answer that. I already know. You wished for this to be wholly in our favour. You wished to completely roll Richard and Chrysalis over when the old magic I summoned was created to promote fairness, to bring forth a deal between two parties that is entirely equal!"

"Enough Luna!" Celestia snapped, eyes wide at her sisters growing anger. "I do not understand where this is all coming from. You are my sister, you need to listen to me. I only want what is best for Equestria."

"And yourself!" Luna shouted, ignoring everyone as we stared at her. "Do not omit details, sister. If you had your way, you would have abused everything the dome provides to turn the deal absurdly in your favour. But you seem to forget that tricks and deception have only doomed us further! Do you wish for us to die out?!"

Chrissy and I looked at each other, confusion on both of our faces as we watched on.

"Of course not!" Celestia denied, shaking her head quickly as she tried touch her sister, only for Luna to move away. "I just want-"

"And that's the problem!" Luna interrupted, ignoring Celestia. "You, you, you! It's all about you, well here's some news for you sister, it isn't all about you! Right now we are working on bringing forth an agreement that will save our race, but that isn't enough for you. So here's some more news for you! Richard does not want you! He is not and will never be interested in you! So get over yourself and work with me to save us, or if that's too hard for you then just sit there and shut the fuck up!"

"Luna..." Celestia whispered, her voice so filled with hurt it actually made me smile. "I am your sister, don't talk to me like that. Please don't talk to me like that."

"And you sidestep the whole thing," Luna muttered, ignoring her as she shook her head. "Of course you do. You never could admit to fault without a gun to your head."

That got my attention, Celestia's too if her confused expression was anything to go by.

"A what to my head?"

Luna flinched, eyes wide in self realization as she bit her lip, fighting back against words that the dome was trying to evidently force out of her. She looked up at me and frowned ever so slightly, worry clear in her eyes before her muzzle opened and the words flew out.

"A gun, it's a weapon."

"I've never heard of it before," Celestia said, frowning as she followed Luna's gaze to me. "Why are you looking at Richard like that?"

"Because he knows what it is," Luna gasped, the dome apparently sick of her attempts to hold back as golden magic surrounded her muzzle.

Celestia looked at me. "What does she mean, Richard?"

I was too surprised by the sheer fear on Luna's face to try to fight against the question, which in turn came out of my mouth before I could stop to think on it.

"A gun is a weapon in my world," I answered.

And that's all you're getting, have fun!
