Rainbow Dash is determined to get married. The most successful apple orchard in Equestrian history is going broke. Pinkie Pie is unemployed.

Twilight is finding all this rather suspicious. Is she really the only honest pony in Ponyville? And can she keep it that way?

When filly Twilight asks Celestia to tell her a bedtime story, the Princess is not prepared for the many memories that float to the surface once she is asked this. She mainly remembers a small filly just like Twilight, who also asked for bedtime stories many years ago.

It’s Hearth’s Warming Eve! The stockings are stuffed, the cookies are out, and the presents are wrapped. Everypony all across Equestria is preparing for a whole day of gifts, giving, and family togetherness. There’s just one slight problem.

Princess Luna hates Hearth’s Warming.

Only adding to her misery is the fact that she, not her sister, will be playing the part of Lunushka, flying around Equestria and delivering gifts to all the good little fillies and colts. With bumbling Shadowbolts, crazed children, and a mysterious scrooge who wishes to put an end to the annual holiday hindering her every move, will she be able to deliver all of her gifts before she brings Hearth’s Warming to a screeching halt?

Her first stop is Ponyville. Let the yuletide shenanigans begin.

...Or not.
It's Luna's first night back from a thousand years upon the moon, and Luna isn't exactly very clean. Nor is she very understanding of present day devices of cleaning. So when Luna must use what ponies of the present call a 'shower' how will she fare?

This is my first story so constructive criticism would be nice :D!
Lol my descriptions suck.

This story is a sequel to Princess Luna Visits a Wet Dream

Princess Celestia has been ruling Equestria for hundreds if not thousands of years. And yet it's always the same. They don't change, they don't learn to do things for themselves. Eventually an immortal being gets tired of it all.

A/N: I've noticed I write a lot of dialogue and not much else. As a challenge to myself, I decided to write this one without writing out any dialogue whatsoever.

Princess Celestia, tired of the constant pressure that ruling a nation puts on her, decides to take a day off and let Luna take her responsibilities for a day, something the younger alicorn is more than happy to do. She disguises herself as a pink maned pegasus pony named Sunny Skies and decides to go walking around Canterlot without any supervision. Unfortunately for her, not all parts of Canterlot are as safe as the palace, and she finds herself at the wrong end of a gang of muggers, who decide to kidnap her for a ransom when they see how much money she has on her.

Luna freaks out.

Celestia thinks it's hilarious.

I made a terrible mistake that one night. And now I had to live with it, for a thousand years.

A thousand years without my little sister.

Princess Luna reflects on what it's like to come back from one thousand years of exile, and all the things she's missed in the time she's been gone. These are a few of her favorite things.

Written as an homage / response to Skywriter's "Heretical Fictions" and "A Short Story by Twilight Sparkle". Cover art by secret-pony.

My First Council. That's what this is. With my fellow Princesses. That I called together. Oh, this is bad. Right? This is going to be bad isn't it? It's okay, it's okay, just breathe twilight. In and out, in and out. It's going to be okay, it will all be okay.

It's going to be bad isn't it!?!

When Pinkie Pie finds out that Luna hasn't celebrated a birthday in over a millenium, she is determined to help Luna make up for missed parties with the biggest, best Un-Birthday bash ever. But all Luna wants is quiet, personal time with ponies who care about her. Can Pinkie learn to understand what Luna needs from her little pink friend?
