//------------------------------// // Luna, Boredom and a Prologue // Story: Sunset's Possible Returns, by Princess Celestia // by Marwile //------------------------------// It had been an exciting day in Canterlot for Luna. After many years her sister Celestia has finally been reunited with Sunset Shimmer, her former student. But despite all the good news about Sunset’s development Celestia had been very nervous, what led to a few interesting secrets accidently being spilled, when Luna tried to calm her down. Like a book filled with potential scenarios for Sunset’s return. Each one weirder than the one before. Luckily the reunion was a happy one, without any involvement of poison, weapons or catching devices. After that they spent the remaining day making up for lost time with Twilight playing the role of the awkward third wheel and Luna happily watching from afar. So why was this night so boring? Luna sat alone in the throne room doing literally nothing. She actually expected to have at least something to do considering her sister skipped day court. But no, the universe loved being ironic too much. Celestia and Sunset were probably still doing their funny teacher/student-activities, like stargazing or cooking or target shooting. Also for some odd reason everypony in Equestria seemed to have a good night, and no nightmares means no work for Luna. Not even guards were currently present in the throne room. Twilight demanded all of them to assist in her investigation of a mysterious fire in the library. This also left getting a book from there out of question. She had already read all neighponese mangas of this month anyways. And while the Princess of the Night waited for literally anything to happen, she suddenly got an idea. One she might regret in the near future. There was one book she could read, which also just happened to be very close to her. Luna looked around the throne room. She lit up her horn and used her magic to open a hidden drawer at the side of the throne. A book slowly levitated out of it and stopped before her face. Luna looked around the throne room again. Luckily nothing has changed in the last sixteen seconds. The Princess of the Night stared at the cover questioning the morality of what she was about to do. “Sunset’s possible returns” by Princess Celestia. It still looked exactly like on this morning. A leather bound book displaying a picture of Sunset stepping out of the mirror. Someone might confuse it for an actual novel. She already got a chance to look through it a few hours before, but that was under her sister’s watch. Luna couldn’t know how Celestia would react to her secretly reading it. She also wasn’t sure about how this book could affect her own mental health. The alicorn thought about this difficult dilemma for at least ten more seconds before boredom decided to creep up again. “Eh, what Celestia doesn’t know.” With that Luna opened the book at a random page and started reading. Scenario LZ-AB#2: Sunset stepped out of the mirror wearing a big, green hat. Celestia wanted to welcome her former student, but the unicorn just trotted up to her without saying a single word. She then pulled out a bottle and swung it at Celestia, who suddenly found herself inside of it. Sunset closed the bottle and held it up into the air. You put Princess Celestia into a bottle. It's a tight fit, and she complains all the time. Maybe she’ll heal you, when you release her. “Alright, I’m already regretting this. But no turning back now.” And she continued reading.
