Princess Celestia was sad to have had sent her sister away to the moon. To her, this wasn't like the old times, where they fought against villains like Discord together. Instead, she had to go against her own sister. It was the difference between peace and war, between light and dark.

She had always blamed herself for doing so, and oftentimes had nightmares about it. Sometimes, the same thing happened. In others, Luna´s winning only brought a dark, eternal night. There was a big tear in her heart, one that she couldn't ignore. A week passed, and she just couldn't bear it. Not even their loyal subjects could fill it even a tiny bit, because they never payed any attention to Luna in the first place. They couldn't fill it, even if they tried.

Then, she considered something. She could go live on the moon with her sister as well. But then she remembered why she had sent her away, and that it would leave all the ponies with no pony to rule them, and it would be even worse than before. 

But, she had one thing she could still do. Though the ponies may not be able to help, maybe a pet could. She thought of this when she had remembered reading a new scroll about the new scientific evidence that a pet can sometimes help physically, and emotionally. She wasn't quite sure if it would really help, but it was worth a try, plus she would get to make an animal´s life better as well. It was worth a try, even if it didn't really work.
