//------------------------------// // A pony name Cafina // Story: Fluttercord vs. Dislestia // by Miner //------------------------------// Long ago when Equestria was still young The two sisters had just both princess and their ponies subjects rejoice at their new leaders. In celebration, each pony brought a token of appreciation. Some were good, while others were questionable. The castle of the two sisters was still on construction, so the two rulers of Equestria have set of chairs form themselves as their subject came one by one to greet them. "I thank you, dean Hooves." Celestia uses her magic to move a bag of spiky red fruit to the side, "I am sure we can find a use for your cactus fruit." The mare bows before leaving the sister, Luna looks at the bag, bewildered, "Why did you accept such a gift as this dear sister?" She lifts one of the fruits with her magic for a close inspection, "It is too prickly even to consume." "I am certain that our subjects wouldn't give us something that we couldn't use." "True maybe the semesters could make use of the quills on this." She puts the fruit down to see their next guest. To which she frowned at, "Oh, it is you again." "Sister please he is a member of our country we must not be rude." "I thank you, your highness," Discord said bowing to the sisters, "Although my appearance is unpleasing to the eye. I come bearing a gift." He pulls out a small blue box and set in front of the sisters, Celestia grabs his gift with her magic and opens it to see a case full of dark brown beans. She looks back at Discord, confused, "Beans?" "They are of my creation. I know that your highnesses are going to need the energy to run this country, so I took the liberty of coming up with a solution to your problem. These beans though bad to the taste; pack ton of energy that would put sugar to shame." Celestia glares at him, "I highly doubt that DIscord." How dear he insults one of the greatest creation in the world. Unfazed by her comment, Discord continues to explain what else he has done, "Never the lease I took the liberty of planting trees of these beans nearby for future harvest." "Trees?" Luna spoke up, "Why a tree? It's not a fruit. Shouldn't it grow in the ground?" "Now where is the fun in that. Besides, it would be easier to harvest if they are in a tree then stuck in the ground." Before her sister could continue arguing with him, Celestia intervened, "We thank you for your gift." Discord float away but stops on his way out and called out one last thing, "Oh and don't overeat of them, Only a small hoof full a day is more than enough." The next day during lunchtime Celestia was surprised to see here sister awake and not the least bit tired, "Dear sister, why are you still awake?" "It would appear that the draconequs finial made something useful," She finishes put a wall together with her magic, "I don't feel tired at all." Celestia thinks about how this could be when one thing came to mind, "You didn't eat all of those beans, did you?" "Tis not as bad as he made them out to be. I only had three beans, and it is amazing how effective they are." "That is good to know, but what are you going to do now? There are still four hours before moonrise." "I am sure I can find something to do until then." "Please be careful. The last thing we need is for you to sleep during your watch." "Don't worry dear sister. I will be fine." Luna said waves at her sister as she left the room. Contrary to what she told her sister. She is started to feel tired, and turns her eyes to an open box of the beans, "But then again another bean won't hurt anypony. Or two, or three." Two months later, "The Castle was nearing it completed ahead of schedule. Very good everypony. At this rate, we will be finished before the winter season sets in." One of the captain looks around himself before he moves to her side, "Your highness." "Yes, Captian?" "If there something going on with your sister?" Celestia put down her scroll and gave the captain her full attention, "What exactly?" "She has been seen all over the castle helping everypony." She tilts her head that this, "Why does that concern you?" "It is the way she does it and there this weird look on her face," He looks around to see if Luna heard him before continues, "She also looks like she hasn't slept in days, and she has a twitch in her left eye." Celestia taps her scroll to her chin, "That is odd. I appreciate her help with the construction, but if it is interfering with her sleep, then I will have a word with her." Celestia enters the castle to see her sister hard at work finishing up the servant quarters. Luna then moves quickly to add the furniture and notice her sister present, not stopping what she is doing. "Hello, dear sister." Celestia was shocked to see that what the captain said about her sister was very accurate. And stops Luna from doing anything else and teleports them into Luna's room, "Luna, when was the last time you slept?" She thinks about this, not noticing that she is pacing around the room, "What is today?" "Friday." "Two months ago," "What! How!? You should be exhausted." "I don't know what you are talking about. I feel perfectly fine," she said sitting on her bed vibrating, Celestia shakes her head and puts a hoof to her face, before dragging it down her face, "But you look like you wrestle with a usar major-" "And won!" "Sister! This is not healthy, whatever is going on here. You need your sleep. I am going to have the guards keep you inside your room until you have a decent night of sleep." "Nay I have duties to do," She starts walking out the room, "And bricks to set in place-" Her sister magic stopped her and dropped onto her bed, "Which is what the worker ponies and I are for. You are going to sleep end of discussion." Celestia said slamming the door on her way out, Luna huffs at this and jumps out of bed, "What does she know. I have been able to get more things done now than I ever had before." She pulls out the box of the beans from under her bed, "Maybe I just more energy that she handles. Then all my problems will be solved." She licks her lips, "For the sake of science, I will discover what happens when you consume a box of these brown energy beans." That night. Ponies were fast asleep as the moon rising into the sky. Celestia was about to fall asleep when she thought she heard something. She raises her head to hear nothing. It sounded like somepony screaming, but it is gone now. She lays her head back down when another scream was heard. Thinking that somepony was having a nightmare, she closes her eyes and let her sister do her job until another cry was heard followed by five more screams causing her to get out of bed. "Whatever is happening, it ends now." Celestia was about to exit the room, but the door won't open. "Guards!" "Your Highness," A guard, called from the other side of the door, "why are you up?" "I was awakened by the sounds of my ponies what is going on, and why is my door locked?" "A precaution. Something is going on, and we didn't want it to reach you." "I can assure you that I can take care of myself. Now open this door." They open the door as she steps out into the hall, "I must find my sister. She will know what is going on." Celestia couldn't find her sister until she started following the sound of ponies screaming from the servant quarters. She saw her sister for a moment before the disappeared back into the main castle. It wasn't until Luna stop in the main hall when Celestia was able to catch up to her. "Hello, sister." "Luna, what is going. Ponies are screaming in the middle of the night, and you are cleaning?!" Luna didn't respond to her sister statement and continue rambling about what she has discovered the about the castle during these past three hours, "Have you ever notices that the chandeliers are not space properly here? Because it ruins the effect here." She said before she disappearing behind a door, "Luna, this is serious!" Celestia called out to her but was scared when she found her behind her cleaning glass windows, "Did you know that our guard's armors aren't polished, because when I did it; they shining like mirrors." She runs into another room as her sister went after her. "Luna, what has gotten into you?" She looks around the room but lost track of her. "Luna?LUNA!" "Also did you know that no pony here bathes before they go to sleep?" Luna said from the room they were in earlier. Celestia enters the place to find everything is sparkling. She was speechless seeing her sister polishing the armor of the guards in the room, leaving them stunted. "You need to keep your armor in top condition if you are going to represent this kingdoms army." "Luna-" She stretches out a hoof only for Luna to work on her hoof quickly. When Celestia pulled it back, she found her hoof with a proper manicure. "Sister I can take care of my our hoofs thank you." Luna has a creepy smile on her face as her body shakes, "That the thing you don't have to. I feel like I can do everything and anything. There is nothing I can't do with the energy flowing through my whole body." Horror flows through Celestia as she realizes what has happened to her sister, "The beans. Luna, how many did you have. Discord warned up of eating to may of them." "Oh, counter sister, you can't have enough of them. None if you excuss me there is a castle that I need to clean Hahahahahaa." She charges through the castle cleaning everything and everypony insight. Celestia did everything you could think of trying to calm down her sister, but nothing work. Ponies ran away from the castle not want to be forcibly clean by their princess for the third time. Celestia must have been cleaned to perfection five times before she was able to trap her sister in her room until she passed out. After erasing the knowledge of those beans from her sister's mind. She called a meeting with her ponies and told them what has happened and that it will never happen again ever. "Lastly. Captian Stomp." "Yes, mam?" "I want you to head to the gardens and removed the trees Discord planted and burn them." "At once." Quickly they got to work and destroy the nameless trees, not seeing a single seed falling onto the ground. A lonely pony named Caffeine found it seeing what happen to the trees he grab it and running away with it. And that ponies are the origin of the coffee bean. And why Luna has never know what coffee was.
