After rereading a Hearth's Warming Tale, Luna begins to feel as if the true purpose of this holiday is tainted so she goes outside to think. Celestia finds her and they begin to chat about why Hearth's Warming isn't just an illusion to keep the Windigos away. Eggnog and Donuts included.

Celestia contemplates sandwiches and life. Also, Luna.

A small prequel to the Moamerverse

"We do not understand, Sister... hoof-paints?"
Celestia suggests that Luna try hoof-painting as an outlet for her frustrations. It is not the wisest of ideas, as it turns out.

Princess Celestia, ruler of all Equestria, is a giving creature. She gives of her time, her talents, her love. In return, Celestia asks for one night a year for herself, in which she remembers the terrible night when the world came to an end.

An exaggeration? Not to Celestia.
