Starlight's Quest

The Letter

'Dear Starlight Glimmer,
It would be our pleasure if you would join us on a midnight stroll through Ponyville tomorrow night, we happily await your reply,

Sincerely,
Princess Luna'

Starlight held the letter with her magic for a moment as she processed the information she had just read. The princess wanted her to come with her on one of her midnight strolls that she only held for those close to her. Starlight was at a loss, she had never thought herself that close to the princess of the night, but was flattered nonetheless.

'Dear princess Luna' Starlight began, 'I am flattered at the offer, and I whole heartedly accept, thank you for the offer,

Starlight Glimmer'

She used her magic to teleport the scroll to spike, who was setting at the other side of the map/table.

"Alrighty Starlight, off to Princess Luna!" Spike said cheerfully as he used his dragon breath to send the scroll to the waiting Princess Luna.

Starlight then proceeded to continue on with her day, doing chores around the castle and working on her friendship report for Twilight at the end of the week. She had just walked to the edge of the room to walk out when Spike began to choke and spit out a letter from the night bringer.

"Starlight!!" Spike choked out as he held up the letter weakly. "It's... it's from Princess Luna!!"

Starlight shut the door and trotted back to Spike, where she took up the letter with her magic and read it aloud.

'Dear Starlight,
We are thrilled that you will be joining us, please meet us at the courthouse at dusk tomorrow, and bring a quill and scroll,

Sincerely,
Princess Luna'

"Huh, why would I need a quill and scroll for?" Starlight asked herself as she rolled the scroll back up before giving it back to Spike, who placed it on a small shelf. She then walked out of the room as she began to question her time with the princess on the next night.

At the castle, Princess Luna paced around in the throne room as the door opened to reveal Princess Celestia, who looked to her sister with confused amusement.

"Luna... what are you doing?" She asked as she walked in and stopped her sister.

"He's coming back tomorrow!" Luna said loudly and full of enthusiasm.

She was talking about their older sibling, Fury Flight, who had been gone for a couple centuries, on 'classified' missions... even from the rulers of the realm.

"Hmm, when will he be here?" Celestia asked a little blandly. She hadn't had the best past with her brother, as he hadn't really been there for them when they needed him, and only returned when he felt he needed to.

"Sometime tomorrow afternoon, he even said something about staying this time!!" Luna squealed with joy.

Celestia smiled as she watched her sister liven with joy, as the truth was that Luna had been too young to remember what Fury had been like, but Celestia remembered perfectly.

' "Celestia... they're.. they're gone.." Fury said slowly as he broke the news to her about their parents deaths. "I... I tried to save them,"

"No you didn't! You wanted them dead so you could be king!!" She yelled at the stallion, who shrunk.

"No... I didn't... I never wanted to rule, so you.. your next in line, so the crown goes to you," Fury said as he used his magic to place the crown upon her head. "I hope one day you can forgive me sister.. I, I really did try to save them..." '

Celestia turned and left the room to let Luna have her happy day.
