Luna sighed with relief as she collapsed down onto her soft cushioned bed. She snuggled it close to her, taking in its comfort. Rolling over, she let her mane sprawl out over her pillows, letting her body relax. How good it felt to be back home again where she belonged. The party that had welcomed her back lasted for 3 hours, and she was swarmed with attention. But during the whole time, she couldn't help but feel a uneasy feeling among the ponies as she greeted or passed them. It was as if they still feared her. Luna flipped her flowing blue mane aside from her face, starring out the window into the night sky. It seemed so far away now then how it looked on the moon. She shuttered as memories of the lonely days of the moon came back into her mind. The days of starring down on the planet, hate anger, and sorrow had filled into her heart. She could do nothing but wait, and stay alone in the empty forever lasting night time world. She had no one to comfort her, no one to speak to her...no one to love her. She laid in the silence, and a tear rolled down her face. Then she perked her ears as the magic glow of someone's horn lit of her door handle bars, opening it. Luna quickly sat up and wiped the tear from her face. She calmed when she saw it was her dear sister, Celestia. She entered into her room, with a tired grin on her face, and padded up to her bed.
"So, how was that welcome party huh?" Celestia asked.
Luna rolled onto her belly and lifted her head, "It was great..." She said with a sigh.
Celestia grew a concerned look on her face, "But, what was wrong?" She asked laying in bed next to her sister, tucking her hooves next to her sides. Luna looked up at her big sister. She felt safe with her, and trusted her.
"Well while I was there, I felt as if the whole time, every pony looked at me strange, like as if I were... still a threat to them..." Luna said sorrowfully, turning away from her sisters saddened face.
Celestia tilted her head, and lowered it to hers. "Luna my sister, no pony thinks of you that way, your not that pony anymore, your our beloved princess of the night, they are glad to have you back, they missed you Luna." Luna smiled at her sisters warm face, but then turned away looking down into the covers.
"But I could sense it, they were uneasy around me, and smiled, but I could tell they were fake..."
Celestia sighed, and moved in closer with her sister, touching her cheek to her forehead. "Luna, do not be upset, the ponies who knew the real you died many years ago, these ones have only heard the story of Nightmare Moon, give them time to see you're true self, then they will ease up, I promise." Luna smiled and a tear fell down her face. She curled herself around her sister, hugging her tight. Luna loved her sister, she cared and accepted her, she never wanted to loose her. After there long sister hug, Celestia got up to go, but Luna stopped her.
"Wait..." Celestia turned around. "Could you sleep with me tonight... It would be nice to have someone after being alone for all those years."
Celestia smiled, and walked back into bed with Luna, curling around her sister's blue body. Luna cuddled close to her sister and sighed. She felt happy to be home, and happy to be with her sister, but why did she feel so...empty?__________________________________________________________________
As day light poured in threw her window, Luna moaned and grumped angrily. Then she realized if the sun was rising, Celestia was gone. Opening her eyes, she looked around the room.
"Oh yeah... I forgot we all still have duties..." Lifting herself from her bed, she stretched her limbs, popping them. "Ah that felt good."
Yawning, she stumbled off her pillows, and opened her dresser. She gasped, inside was her brush, he mother had given her when she has a young filly, some nights she would comb her mane with it, but when her mom was busy, Celestia would do it for her. She used her magic to levitate it in the air. Looking into the mirror, she saw her mane was tangled, and clustered. She decided a good bath was what she needed. Stepping out into the halls, she walked down it heading for the bathing room. She looked around at the decor on the castle walls. New banners, and painting we hung up, and colors had been newly painted. How much had changed since she been gone, everything thing was all so different now. She stopped walking as she saw her sister come down the hall next to her.
"Luna, are you too going to take a nice soothing bath?" Luna smiled at her sister, her light rainbow mane had stopped flowing due to it being tangled as well.
"Well, after being stuck on the moon for 1000 years, I probably will stink up the whole castle if I don't bathe." The two sisters laughed together as the made their way down the royal hall. After finally walking for what seemed like miles, Luna and her sister reached the bathing room.
"Man, I've been gone for so long, I've forgotten how long the castle was.." Luna said, feeling droopy from their far walk.
"You'll get used to it, now come on lets go wash up." Celestia said jokingly, and made her way into the doors of the bathing room.
Following her sister inside, memories flooded back into her mind as the room came into view.
"I remember it so clearly now..." Luna remarked, eyes wide as she looked over the room.
Celestia turned back, "Those were the good old days..." Celestia headed for the water knob, and turned on the water, and the giant tub started to fill with hot water. As Luna set her brush down, and opened a cabinet to get a towel, she saw old bubble soap that she and her sister used to put in when they were fillies. She lifted it out and giggled showing it to Celestia.
"Look what I found."
Celestia turned, and grinned when she saw the bottle. "I remember those good old days...want to use it?"
Luna nodded, and poured the mixture into the tub, it quickly bubbled up, making a bubbly bath. When it was full, Celestia turned off the water and turned, climbing into the tub, and settling down, sighing with relaxation.
"Cannon ball!" shouted Luna flying up and landing into the tub, making water and bubbles go flying. After resurfacing from the tub, she looked at the drenched Celestia in front of her.
"Oh yeah, Ill show you!" said Celestia playfully. She grabbed her sister, and took a bunch of bubbles, putting them onto her head, rubbing it with her hoof.
"Aah! ok I get it, Tia stop!" Celestia let go and laughed. Luna settled back against the tubs walls, breathing in the steam.
"I've missed you Luna, spending time like this together, is what I've missed the most." Celestia said scooting closer to her sister. Luna smiled and rested her head on her sisters shoulder.
After cleaing up good, and enjoying the heat of the water, they both stepped out of the tub, dripping wet. Luna grabbed her towel and dried her mane off, and helped her sister to dry hers. She levitated her brush, the blue magic swarming around it, then it turned yellow, and started to brush her mane. She turned to see Celestia brushing her mane, and Luna smiled.
"It really is just like old times sister..." Celestia gently brushed her sister's mane, smoothing it out back to its form until it flowed again. After that Luna shook herself, and looked in the mirror, she looked like a complete stranger, he mane had never been smooth and well groomed in such a long time. She could see her old self as a filly, young, confused, and lost on the moon. She turned away and started to walk out of the room.
"Luna, is everything alright?" Luna answered with out turning around. "
Oh no, its okay, I'm just really tired, I'm going to go back to bed, maybe take a nap."
Celestia smiled a bit, still having worry in her eyes. "Oh ok.. I just thought you might have wanted to join me today on some of my tasks." Luna stopped and turned back to her sister.
"Really... you want me to come with you?"
Celestia smiled. "Well I'm not the only princess anymore, so why not."
Luna smiled and galloped up to her sister hugging her. "Thank you sis..."
Celestia smiled, and hugged her sister. Letting go, she watched as her sister pull out her necklace and crown, placing them upon her, and slipping her golden glass slippers on each of her hooves. Celestia then reached into a case and pulled out something, hiding it from Luna.
"O"What is it Tia, it better not be a trick." She felt her touch her head and neck then stepped away.
"Ok now come over here."
Following her sisters voice, she walked in the direction she was beckoning her.
"Ok stop, now open!" Luna opened her eyes and gasped as she saw the reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a moon crown and necklace, and on the ground were blue glass slippers.
"I made them for you, for when you were to come home..." Luna's eyes filled with tears, and she hugged her sister.
"Thank you... Tia." Celestia smiled, and watched her slip on the glass slippers. They both looked into the mirror, one sun, one moon, together they rule.
"Now lets go meet some ponies Luna." Luna sucked in a deep breath and sighed.
"Ok, I'm ready."
