Vice Principal Luna made her way to the engineering faculty when everyone went home and worked on her project.

The janitor saw her, astounded, and went to ask.

"I thought all tutors and members of staff went home at night?" He barked.

"Why," said Luna. "I have a little project of mine to complete then I will go back to my home residence."

As the janitor walked away, he heard a sawing, drilling sound.

Then there were cogs being put in place of the device she was working on. She had to make sure that the calibrations were supremely exact and precise.

Working in two stained glass planes, she knew Principal Celestia would be both impressed and annoyed.

> THE NEXT DAY <

As Saturday was one of only two days off she got in the week she had only a finite amount of time to enact her plan.

At around midday she arrived at Camp Everfree, Timber Spruce waited for her.

"Finally," he said exasperated. "You know Celestia will be coming with the latest class to benefit from the investment in Everfree on Monday."

"I know," she replied showing him the device. "Would she be proud of my initiative?'

"Yes."

> TWO DAYS LATER <

The class that included Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom were the ones who were the latest inductees of Canterlot High to have their names added to the scroll of luminaries that have attended the famous retreat.

As Gloriosa Daisy led the group into the usual who does what and where. She got onto the subject of the camp gift.

"Well," she started. "As you may notice, the dock on which we are by was last year's gift. So can you Luna and Celestia lead in the significance of what the gift is all about."

"Well," Celestia started and led the group to the sundial that was both hers and Luna's gift. "What has happened to our gift of the sundial to the camp?"

"Celestia," Luna replied. "I thought it would be fun to have it go digital so at night people can still tell the time."

"So you replaced our gift with one of your own?"

"Well I worked on it with Timber's permission and if you look on the surface of the dial, you will notice my moon symbol during the day and your sun at night will be illuminated when the solar energy kicks in."

"Wow, you are more creative than I give you credit for."

A few hours later after the sun went down, Celestia went over to the new sundial. She was utterly taken back by how much the sun motif shines through the glass surface and the LED lights around the edge to tell the time.

She went over to the Moonstone tent and gave her sister a right meaningful hug.

"Thank you sister," Celestia said. "I didn't know you had done this for me."

"Well, I did it for partially me, and also after last year's debacle. Decided to improve upon ours to make it better for years to come."

"I knew you had it in you to surprise me."
