  Luna knelt in front of the grave, her face devoid of any emotion.

She glanced at the three tombstones behind her. Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rarity. The princess smiled sadly. She had managed to become good friends with all of them, even Fluttershy.

She turned back to the grave before her. In swirled letters, it showed off one word.

Shiver.

"You're taking this surprisingly well," a voice said from behind her. Luna didn't need to look to see who it was.

She replied, "It was her time." Luna sensed Celestia kneel beside her. 

"It was the others' time too, when they passed away, but you took their deaths horribly. What's different?" Celestia pryed.

"You have no right to talk to me about them or Shiver," Luna replied coldly.

Celestia raised her eyebrow. "Of course I have the right. I'm your sister."

Luna whirled on her. "You liar! You don't care about me." Luna turned her back on Celestia. "Not like Shiver did... I could talk to her about anything, you know. We were sisters in a way you and I never were. You couldn't care about me in the way a sister could then, and you haven't changed."

Celestia looked at her sister, on the verge of tears, but hiding them well. "Well," Celestia said slowly. "I think we can change that."
