"Are you ready?", asked Luna. Celestia thought for a moment.
"Catch me if you can!", and Celestia ran off.
"GET BACK HERE!", Luna screamed and ran after her sister, into the dark Everfree forest.
After a bit, Luna caught Celestia. "I forgot how fast you were little sister.", Luna blushed by that comment.
"Well... I used to have a good "victim" to practice with.", they both laughed as they continued their journey in to the forest.
"Wait, are you talking about me or Discord?", Celestia asked. Luna only smiled and kept walking.
"I forgot why I never liked the Everfree forest... Now I remember why..", Celestia said as she stood in a muddle.
"Ah come on it's not that bad.", Luna replied.
"Yeah, because you enjoy being out here..."
"Don't be silly! Remember when we always sneaked out of the castle and played out here with Dis-", and suddenly the sisters remebered that they had their weekly cake gathering today...
Meanwhile at the canterlot castle...
"I can't believe the princesses did that! They could of talked to me, but no! They just ran off, leaving me with all THEIR work.", Raven complained to Kibitz.
"Well I don't know what happened, I had my vacation", Kibitz said with a smile while Raven gave him a glare.
"And the worst; they have their weekly gathering with Discord T O D A Y!", Raven was about to colapse, but Kibitz catched her.
"Did anyone say my name?", a shadow asked.
"Oh great..", Raven thought to herself.
"Hello Discord!", Kibitz greeted with a smile.
"Kibitz! It's nice to see you! How was your vacation?", Discord asked. While they were talking about Kibitz's vacation, Raven thought of a solution to why the sisters are not here.
"And the food.... You would of loved it there!"
"Oh I am sure I would of!", Raven got annoyed by their talking.
"Mental note to myself: ask the princesses for vacation.", she mumbled.
"Anyway, where are my favourite princesses?", Discord asked. Kibitz wanted to reply but Raven was able to stop him.
"I am truly sorry to disappoint you, but we need to reschedule this. The princesses are in bed with a really bad flu.", she lied, and little drops of sweat were falling off her front. Of course, Discord noticed that, but he acted like he didn't.
"Okay, tell them I said a "get well soon.", and with that Discord left.
"YOU IDIOT, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO TELL DISCORD THE TRUTH!", Raven shouted at Kibitz.
"He's a good guy, he would have understood it.", Raven hoof-palmed herself and went back to work.
Discord made his way to the kitchen, to grab some cake and see if Fluttershy had some time. As he entered the kitchen, he saw the note. He grabed the cake AND the note and started to read:
Dear Raven
Celestia and I have decided to take a break of our royal duties and to take a week off. We will be spending a week in Las Pegasus. We will, of course, still raise/lower the sun and the moon. We would be very glad if you could handle the tax problem. After all those years of ruling, and never getting any break, it's the best decision we have ever made. When we get back we will talk about your vacation.
Your princesses
Celestia and Luna
P.S Please think about something about the gathering with Discord. We sadly don't have the time to come up with something."
Discord let out an evil laugh. "This was written by Luna, she doesn't really know how to write letters.", he said out loud, even though no one was around. "Mhm... Maybe I should surprise them! Yes! I'll make a short stop by Fluttershy's, then go look for the princesses!", and again, he said it out loud. He grabbed the cake and teleported himself to Fluttershy.
Back in the Everfree forest....
"I'm sure Raven was able to make up a lie.", Luna tried to calm her sister
"And what IF not. He's gonna pull pranks on us all year long.", Celestia was breathing heavily. They stopped for a moment and Luna took her in to a big hug.
"Everything will be fine. Just try to enjoy the vacation for now.", the younger whispered. Celestia nuzzled Luna's cheek as reply. Celestia took a deep breath, and so, they continued their journey.
"How long until we are at the castle Luna?", the sun goddess asked while she was yawning. "I... getting pretty tired."
"Just a few more minutes. Be patient, we will arrive soon.", the moon goddess said. She looked up and realised it was time to raise the soon.
As they continued to walk, Celestia stopped, as she took a seat half asleep on the ground. Luna woke her up. "Tiiiiiaaaa, you need to lower the suwwn so I can raise the mooowwn!, Luna said with her cutest voice. Tia looked into Luna's beautiful eyes, got up and smiled. She was glad to have her little sister back in her life. What would she do without her? So, together they did their job, as every princess would do.
"Are we there yet?, minutes passed when they lowered the sun and raised the moon. Celestia has been annoying Luna with questions like that the entire time.
"For Faust's sake Celestia, we're gonna be there in a few minutes!"
"You keep telling me that all the time!", Celestia complained. Luna rolled her eyes and smiled, but so, that her sister couldn't see it.
"Oh look Tia! We finally arrived. We can spend the night here!", Celestia smiled. She followed Luna inside the castle. It didn't look as terrible as it did when Luna became Nightmare Moon. The mane 6 cleaned the castle and gave it some colour. "I must say...", Luna started... "Rarity does have some taste."
"Well... She isn't called the best designer in Ponyville for nothing.", Celestia answered.
"The mane 6 did a great job. I wish we could move back here...", Luna admitted. She lowered her ears as a sign of sadness. Celestia nuzzled Luna's cheek.
"I know my little sister. But don't be sad, we will visit it more often, I promise.", Celestia said with a soft smile on her face.
"Pinkie promise?", Luna mumbled.
"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.", the sun goddess said as she made the movements.
They both made a small tour through the castle. They didn't need any candles., the moonshine, which was shining through the windows, gave them enough light. Of course, they both tried all sorts of pranks and secret doors they had built into their castle. The castle was quite different than the one in Canterlot. The one in Canterlot is quite more modern. No traps and pranks, just old dusty books. Luna loved the Everfree forest. At night she would sneak out to go and play with Melvin. Luna missed this place.
"I think we should take a rest now Lulu.", Celestia suggested. They went to the old room of Celestia, and Luna started a fire to keep them warm. Celestia lifted the blanked and put it over herself and Luna. As she snuggled with Luna, Celestia noticed how relaxed Luna was. "It's nice to see you so relaxed."
"Same goes to you big sis.", Luna said.
"Hey... Do you remember...."
And so, they told each other so many stories what they did when they were in this room.
As a kid, Luna was never able to sleep on her own, so she always sneaked into Celestia's room.
"Okay enough talking.", Celestia expressed with her soft voice.
"I shall take care of your dreams tonight.", Luna said with a light smile.
They snuggled real close together, the blanket still over them and the fire still burning.
And so, the two princesses drifted off to a dream world.
