Hearth's Warming eve is here once again as snow covers the streets of Canterlot and ponies all over Equestria chant songs. The towns and cities of Equestria light up in many different colors as the festivities beginn.

Celestia has always enjoyed Hearth's Warming eve, it has always been that one day of the year, the day where she can simply enjoy spending time with friends and family.

Only Problem being that her only family member is a grumpy alicorn. For years Celestia has tried convincing Luna to enjoy the festivities, yet she has never succeeded. This year will be different though.
This time she will succeed! This time she won't give up! And there WILL be cake!

Warning: Lots of Cake involved.

Merry Christmas! Happy Hearth's Warming eve everypony! This was just a quick little story I thought of as sort of a present for you all to enjoy. It's nothing special really.

Finding herself unable to sleep, Princess Celestia occupies her mind by penning a letter to Twilight Sparkle. But for a weary princess, the mind has a tendency to wander...

Everypony has one 'Longest Night', a night that just never seems to end, whether they want it to end or not. For Celestia, her Longest Night began on the first night she had to raise her sister's moon.

Heartbroken and filled with despair that she may never see her sister again, Celestia makes a wish upon a falling star to see her sister one more time. Little did she realise that the stars listen.

A one-shot story of two sisters, and one Faithful Student.

Princess Celestia transports six humans to Equestria and studies their culture and behavior. They will face many hardships in their lifetime in Equestria. Though along the way they will meet: friends, enemies, and even the occasional douche bag. Though something bigger is brewing over the horizon. This is my first story written constructive so criticism is appreciated.

While talking to Princess Twilight Sparkle, a Royal Guard refers to Princess Celestia as 'Sunbutt'. He is quick to explain how he came to learn of the nickname, and suggests that Twilight should talk to Princess Luna.

So she does, whereupon she finds that Luna is all too happy to share a story with her...

One day, Twilight notices something strange : the princess Celestia she is looking at has got no shadow.

Twilight's curiosity then forces her to figure it all out.
Curiosity is such a bad thing.

She should have stayed out of this one.

In all the years Luna spent imprisoned, the sun and moon still rose in Celestia's wake. How was such a feat ever performed or even possible?

In the last of Luna's efforts to find the answers,she agrees to a wicked wager, one she intents to win at any and all cost. Celestia cares for her sister truly... so much so, that there are just some secrets even she won't confess to without proper "incentive."

It is the first night of Luna's return. Things can never be easy.

Change is Never easy. Neither is pain. Yet, these are the things that make us live.

Pain is what drives us. Pain is what makes us seek happiness.
