And again, Nightmare Night was a success! But it was not a success like any other and last times, but it was because Luna, the princess of the night, appeared in the small town to celebrate the holiday together with her subjects, although in the beginning Luna did not understand why everypony run away from her, but then she understood that they were only pretending to be afraid of Luna because of the holiday, and it was after that that Luna could have fun. But now, the party was over and the sun was rising over the horizon as the sky changed color from dark blue to light pink while the ponies were taking out the party decorations, and of course, all with the help of Luna, Twilight, Spike, Applejack and Pinkie. Twilight, Spike and Luna were taking out the decorations that were hanging in the stores with their magic, and Applejack and Pinkie were taking apart the games.
Luna couldn’t stop thinking with a smile on her face that she had a great time tonight, especially with Twilight, who took her to Fluttershy to help her with the tone of her voice and also helped her to adjust. She couldn’t help but smile at the fact that Twilight had helped her a lot since her return as a princess. First, Twilight helped her reunite with her sister, and now, helped her on Nightmare Night. Luna knew two words that would define Twilight: gentle and intelligent. And how could Twilight not be? Twilight has helped her a lot since then.
“Princess, what did you think of your first Nightmare Night?” asked Twilight as she looked at Luna with a smile.
Luna looked at Twilight confusedly, she was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t even hear what Twilight said. “What?”
“Princess, what did you think of your first Nightmare Night?” Twilight repeated her question.
“Ah. I had a lot of fun, Twilight,” Luna replied, now with a friendly smile. “And you?”
“I also have fun, and did you know that this was also my first Nightmare Night?”
“Is this also your first Nightmare Night?”
“Yes, Princess Luna, after all, it’s been a year since I moved here.”
Luna didn’t think this was Twilight’s first Nightmare Night. “But did you ever participate during your foalhood?”
“Unfortunately no Princess, I spent most of my time studying magic and reading books,” Twilight replied sadly before smiling. “But now, I plan to participate in this holiday every year. Do you intend to come to Ponyville for the next Nightmare Night?”
“Yes, I do, Twilight.”
The two then heard the sound of footsteps, Twilight turned back to see who was approaching her and Luna and saw that it was Spike.
“Twilight, I’ve finished removing all the decorations. Shall we go to the library for breakfast?” asked Spike as he got to Twilight.
“Of course,” Twilight looked at Luna. “Well, Luna, Spike and I are going to the library for breakfast. Would you like to join us?”
Luna started to think of an answer. She was planning to take the decorations back to Canterlot to tell Celestia, except that Twilight was now inviting her to eat breakfast with her and Spike, and how could she refuse an invitation from Twilight?
“Yes, we ... I mean, I would love to,” Luna replied.
“Then follow us, Princess.” Twilight and Spike started walking and leading the way, while Luna followed them.
Luna started to think about what she should do after having breakfast. She planned on going back to Canterlot to be able to sleep, but soon a doubt came: what could she do as soon as she has rasen the moon? Maybe she could take an evening stroll. Yeah, it wouldn’t be a bad idea...
Twilight opened the library door and went straight in, then it was Spike, and lastly, it was Luna. Luna was amazed at what the Twilight’s library looked like inside. It had a large bookcase and so many books. While Luna admired, Twilight and Spike took their fantasies away. When finished, Twilight took the two fantasies with her magic and looked at Spike.
“Spike, could you make pancakes for us?” Twilight asked.
“Yes, Twilight!” Spike ran to the kitchen to start cooking.
When Spike left her sight, Twilight intended to go to a shelf to get a book to read, but she stopped when she saw Luna standing there. “Princess Luna? Are you alright?”
Luna came out of her trance and looked at Twilight. “O-oh! Yes, Twilight. I was just surprised at how your house is organized.”
Twilight blushed with praise as she looked to the side. “T-thank you, Princess. I always make sure the library is always organized.”
“How do you organize the library?” asked Luna, now curious.
“It’s very simple, Princess: first, I take all the books off the shelves at once, then I take the books and organize them alphabetically on each shelf according to the genre.” Twilight explained in detail while smiling and clapped her hooves excitedly.
Luna didn’t knew that Twilight was quite a perfectionist when it came to organization, but she soon smiled. Until Twilight was cute.
“While Spike makes the pancakes, I can show you what the library looks like inside, if you like.” Twilight suggested.
“Of course, Twilight,” Luna replied. “Where do you want to start?”
“Well, I would like to show you my room first.” Twilight walked up the stairs and started to climb.
Luna realized that this was not the room but in a living room, it had a table and light brown cabinet. The two went up to another floor of the house, and this time, it was the room.
Luna was amazed at what the Twilight room looked like. The bed was brown and had a dark blue blanket with yellow stars and moons design, next to the bed was a basket with white pillow and blanket, had a brown wardrobe that was far from the big bed, and even had a balcony with a telescope who could observe the stars, she loved the fact that Twilight had a telescope, because that would mean that Twilight liked to watch the stars, and that made her happy. Twilight took advantage and went to the wardrobe to put the costumes inside.
“Is there a bathroom in your library?” asked Luna, now looking at Twilight. She wasn’t asking this because she was in the mood to use it, but just out of curiosity.
“Yes, I do, it’s right next to the room. Come on!” said Twilight, now walking to the bathroom. Luna turned and started walking.
Upon arriving in the bathroom, Twilight stood at the door watching Luna stepped inside and saw that the walls and floor were blue, the bathtub, sink and floor were white. Luna even liked the colors in the bathroom. She looked and approached at Twilight when she has done of see.
“What location do you want to show me now?” asked Luna.
“There is only one more place: the kitchen; it’s down there. Follow me, Princess.” Twilight left the room and went down the stairs, along with Luna. They could even smell the delicious smell of freshly made pancake
The two entered the kitchen and saw Spike preparing the pancakes. Luna noticed that the color of the kitchen wall and floor was a skin pink, the refrigerator and sink was white and the cabinets were brown. They left the kitchen as soon as Luna finished seeing what it was like, and sit on the chairs waiting for the pancakes to be ready.
“So Princess, what did you think of the Golden Oak’s Tree Library?” asked Twilight.
“I liked it,” Luna replied with a smile.
“Do you like libraries and books?”
“Yes, even though I haven’t read and gone to libraries so often since my return.”
They stopped talking as soon they heard the sound of footsteps approaching them, they looked into the kitchen and saw Spike approach the table, put the three plates of pancakes on the table and sit on the chair to eat. Each pancake was different: Twilight’s had blueberries with whipped cream, Luna’s had strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and Spike’s had only whipped cream.
After about five minutes, the three of them finished eating and Spike took the three plates, piled them up and carried them into the kitchen. As Luna had already eaten, she decided that she would thank and say goodbye to Twilight.
“Twilight, thank you for letting me have breakfast with you.” Luna thanked her.
Twilight was near a bookshelf taking a book with her magic, but upon hearing Luna’s voice she looked back at her. “You’re welcome Princess. Are you going back to Canterlot now?”
“Yes Twilight, have a nice day,” Luna said goodbye to Twilight, went to the door and opened it with her magic.
“Thank you, too, Princess.” Twilight also said goodbye, she watched Luna get out and close the door, before going up the stairs to go to her room to read her book in the bed.
Meanwhile, outside, Luna was already in heaven, flapping her wings. And for some reason, she couldn’t stop thinking about Twilight while she had a smile. Twilight was really somepony very special and kind, besides the unicorn having helped her twice, she even invited her to have breakfast with her. Isn’t Twilight really a sweetheart?
Upon landing on the balcony of her room, she went straight into the room, went to the bed, took a part of the blanket off, lay down, and soon fell asleep while smiling and dreaming of her and Twilight reading together on the library balcony on a starry night.
After thirteen hours, Luna opened her eyes, lifted her head from the pillow and stretched with smile. She couldn’t help but agree that these were the best hours she spent sleeping. Luna got up from the bed, arranged the blanket and went out on the balcony. She saw the sun setting over the horizon as the color of the sky changed from light blue to orange. After the sun was no longer in the sky, she closed her eyes and used her magic to raise the moon, the color of the sky changed again, only it went from orange to pink, and finally, dark blue. She even added stars and made constellations, which from now on, would be especially for Twilight.
When she was finished, she watched her work with a smile, and soon spread her wings and flew to Ponyville, she did not intend to take a walk in the small town as she has intended before, but intended to stay on the balcony with Twilight, either reading books or watching the stars. She noticed that most of the lights in Ponyville’s houses were off. Luna blew out a sad breath, knowing that the ponies did not stayed awake during her night, even after her return, but she then smiled as she remembered that Twilight might be awake.
After an hour of flight, she saw Twilight sitting on the balcony floor writing on paper with a red quill, and next to her were papers stacked. But Twilight stopped writing when she heard the sound of flapping wings, she looked ahead and saw Luna landing on the balcony back with a smile.
“Good night, Twilight Sparkle.” Luna greeted Twilight.
“Good night Princess.” Twilight greeted back.
Luna looked at the balcony and noticed several papers around. “What are you doing?”
“I’m studying astronomy, Princess,” Twilight replied.
Luna couldn’t believe what she heard, but did she hear it right?
“Are you studying astronomy?” asked the night princess carefully as she lifted a hoof slightly.
“Yes, Luna.”
Luna smiled at the answer, but a doubt came to her mind. “When did you start studying astronomy?”
“Since filly, I’ve always loved to watch the stars and study them, and most nights, I stay awake.” Twilight confessed with a smile just thinking about when she was still a filly.
Luna couldn’t help but smile at what Twilight said. Never and no pony stayed awake and admired her night, but Twilight was different from her other subjects. She stayed up at night and admired her work.
Suddenly, she started to feel a new feeling blooming in her. She knew the name of it, and it made her feel really good, especially now that she was here with Twilight.
“Thanks Twilight, you seem to be the only one who enjoys my night.” Luna thanked her, now blushing while looking at the right.
“You’re welcome, Princess. Would you like to keep me company?” asked Twilight.
“Of course, Twilight.” Luna landed on the floor, sat down next to Twilight and watched her write again with a smile.
After seven hours on the balcony, Luna heard a snore coming from very close to her, she looked to the left and saw Twilight sleeping on top of the papers she wrote, but that weren’t in the pile yet. She took Twilight with her magic, took her into the room, uncovered the blanket a little, put her on the bed and covered her. That done, she watched Twilight sleep peacefully for a few seconds before going out onto the balcony and flying back to Canterlot.
She couldn’t help but agree that she loved spending tonight with Twilight. It was the best night ever for her! To tell the truth, now every night would be the best, since she would have the company of Twilight, but that didn’t mean she was letting go of her feelings of love. In fact, she would spend most days awake on top of a cloud just to stalk Twilight to see what she did on a daily basis, but she would also think about to declare herself to Twilight. One thing she hoped for was that she wouldn’t be sleepy or sleep in the cloud, but remembering that she spent several full days playing video games before she regained her power over the moon made her more peaceful and calm, since it would mean that she would not fall asleep during the day.
