It was already a new day, and Celestia had already lowered the sun, and was now sitting at the table eating a pancake that had a smiling face.
Suddenly, the princess head the door being opened. She looked at the big, heavy door to see who came in, and saw that it was Luna, who had a smile on her face. This obviously caught her attention, as Luna usually always woke up in a bad mood. She needed to discover the reason for Luna’s happiness.
Luna sat down next to her older sister, and started eating her pancake. Her pancake didn’t have a happy face and blueberries, but only whipped cream. But her happiness would not last that long.
“So Luna, I noticed that you are very happy today, could you tell me what is making you smile?” asked Celestia with a playful smile.
Luna could feel the nervousness in her as she chewed the piece of pancake. She didn’t know whether to tell Celestia that she was in love.
Celestia, as an older sister, can see Luna’s nervousness. “Come on Luna. Tell me, I’m not mad at you. I’m just curious to know the reason for your happiness.”
Luna seemed to be more secure with Celestia’s words, but even so, she didn’t know if she should tell, since she didn’t want Celestia to forbid her from seeing Twilight. Until, Luna realized what she just thought. Why was she afraid of Celestia doing this? Like… she could do it hidden, after all, Celestia always spends most days in the throne room, but maybe… instead, she could show Celestia not to mess with…
“Luna? Did you hear me?” asked Celestia, noting the silence.
Luna looked back at Celestia with a smile. “Y-yes, sister.”
“So, could you answer my question?” asked Celestia.
“Well ... I ... I ... I’m in love with Twilight.” Luna confessed while blushing nervously just from talking about Twilight.
“You are in love?” asked Celestia, now surprised.
“Yes, sister, I’m in love. Why? Don’t tell me you don’t want me to be with Twilight?” asked Luna, she could feel the anger inside her just imagining Celestia not accepting a relationship with her and her Twilight.
“What? No. It’s not what you think!” said Celestia.
“So why ask?”
“It’s just… I was just surprised, that’s all.”
Luna raised an eyebrow slightly. Was Celestia surprised that she was in love? Why did she feel that this was not true?
“But you at least accept my future relationship with Twilight, don’t you?” asked Luna, now approaching Celestia, without taking the serious expression from her face.
“Of course I do, Luna,” Celestia replied with a smile.
Luna didn’t seem to want to believe Celestia’s other words so much, but she decided to believe that Celestia accepted her dating Twilight. She decided to go back to her seat to continue eating her pancake, and then she would go to Ponyville to stalk Twilight.
“But let’s change the subject of the conversation, how was your first Nightmare Night in Ponyville?” asked Celestia.
Luna’s serious expression changed to one of joy, just remembering that night. “It was great, sister. Twilight helped me when no one had the courage, and then we spent the rest of the night having fun together. ”
“So, are you friends now?” asked Celestia.
“Now yes, but soon, marefriends,” Luna replied, not taking the smile off her face just imagining her and Twilight together.
Twilight happily left the library, she intended to meet the girls at Sugarcube Corner to talk about what has been going on lately. She needed to confess that she was excited to talk about how it was her first Nightmare Night in Ponyville, especially with the fact that Luna came and they had a great time together that night.
Because it was morning, there weren’t that many ponies outside their homes, since most of them would obviously be having breakfast or else they would still be sleeping.
She opened the Sugarcube Corner door with a hoof came straight in, looking for her friends, until she saw them sitting talking, except Pinkie, who would probably be in the kitchen cooking.
“Hi, girls!” Twilight greeted her friends with a smile as she came over to sit.
The four mares looked at Twilight with friendly smiles. “Hi, Twilight!”
Twilight sat on the right side of Rarity and on the left side of Applejack.
“So darlings, it was Nightmare Night a few days ago, what did all you do?” Rarity asked. “I stayed at home, since there was no time for me to make a costume so I could participate.”
“I stayed inside the house, this date is so scary...” said Fluttershy, now shaking at the thought.
“I was scaring everypony with my Shadowbolt costume. It was so fun to play pranks on everypony in that night,”said Rainbow with an evil smile.
“I pretended to be scared of everything, because after all, it is fun to be scared!” said Pinkie Pie now hopping up to five mares with a cupcake plate and sat down to start eating a cupcake. Each took a cupcake from the plate.
“I helped Princess Luna have fun at Nightmare Night,” Applejack replied.
“And I helped Princess Luna during Nightmare Night, when we finished, we had fun together,” Twilight replied.
Pinkie smiled when she heard what Twilight said. “And what happened next?”
“After me, Spike and the Princess finished removing the decorations, the three of us went to the library to have breakfast together.” Twilight bit a piece of her cupcake.
“And then? And then?” asked Pinkie, all excited, wondering what happened next.
“Afterwards, we said goodbye and she went back to Canterlot,” Twilight replied. “And when it was night, I was on the balcony studying astronomy, Luna appeared and she kept me company for hours until I fell asleep.”
“Do you study astronomy?” asked all, except Twilight.
“Yes, since filly. I can show you the papers after we finish eating, if you want. ”
“I ... I would like to see ... That if it’s okay with you...” Fluttershy said the last sentence in a whisper as she hid in her mane.
“Darling, I would love to see it,” said Rarity. “I’m even going to make it for a dress that has constellations, and I’ll make sure it is for you.”
“I don’t want to go to study notes, studying is for eggheads,” said Rainbow sulkily as she crossed her hooves. Twilight looked at Rainbow, not happy with the comment.
“Of course I would like to see it, sugarcube,” Applejack replied with a friendly smile.
“I would love to see it, but then we will come back here for a party to celebrate our one year of friendship!” said Pinkie cheerfully. “But first, let’s finish eating!”
About seven minutes passed, and they now wait for Pinkie to take the dishes to the kitchen to wash them. After about six minutes, she finished and they left the candy store together on their way to the Golden Oka’s Tree Library, minus Rainbow.
Twilight realized that now she had more ponies awake and outside their homes, some went to see their friends, their special somepony or go to the market. It was as if the Ponyville ponies liked to wake up late, of course she wasn’t saying EVERYONE, but just a few.
Twilight opened the door with a hoof and allowed her friends in and then went in and closed the door with magic.
“Where do you keep your papers, Sugarcube?” asked Applejack.
“In my room, it’s on my side table by the bed.” Twilight went to the stairs and started up the stairs, the others followed.
Upon arriving at the second floor of the library, Pinkie and Fluttershy were a little surprised by the fact that it had a second floor, they thought the staircase led straight to the room, but of course they would not blame themselves for feeling it, since they never went to this floor when they came to visit Twilight.
“This is my room,” said Twilight as she climbed the top step, she saw the stack of papers on her side table. “There are the papers.”
Twilight went to the side table, took the pile with her magic and placed it on the floor so that her friends could see what she had been studying. Each took a paper from the pile, and they noticed that it had words and drawings of constellations. Applejack couldn’t help noticing that Twilight liked stars, she looked at Twilight to ask something.
“Twilight, I see you have a pile of papers in your room, but I would like to ask you a question.”
“You can ask, Applejack. I am listening to you.”
“What do you feel when you look at the stars?”
“Every time I look at the stars, I feel connected to them and the night because my Cutie Mark is a star and my name is related to the night,” she replied. “And you?”
“The stars remind me of my parents,” the orange mare took off her cowgirl hat just to remember her parents. “Whenever I look at the stars, it makes me miss them.”
“Applejack, I’m sorry for reminding you of your parents’ deaths,” said Twilight, now sorry.
“You don’t need to apologize to me, Sugarcube, I just wanted to know if the stars were special for you, just like me, that they are special.” Applejack put a hoof on Twilight’s chin while smiling. Twilight managed to smile with the words of Applejack, that’s why she considered Applejack one of the closest mares to her, she was always mature, spoke the truth and endured her in difficult times.
“Twily, we’ve finished seeing all the leaves,” said Pinkie as she approached jumping until Twilight, the others also approached.
“What did you think?” asked Twilight, now wanting to know the opinion of the mares in front of her.
“I liked it, it reminds me of my parents,” Applejack replied with a smile.
“I liked it too, the drawn stars reminded me of the nocturnal animals,” Fluttershy replied with a shy smile.
“I thought your drawings were just fabulous, darling,” said Rarity as she fiddled with her mane.
“The constellation drawings you drew are beautiful,” said Pinkie. “But let’s go to Sugarcube Corner to celebrate our one year of friendship!”
“But what about Rainbow Dash?” asked Twilight to Pinkie.
“We are going to call her right now,” Pinkie replied and started down the stairs and then skipped again while the others followed.
As soon as they left the library, Twilight stopped to close the door with her magic before returning to follow her friends.
“Dashie! Dashie! Where are you?” Pinkie asked as she looked up and to the sides.
Rainbow was lying on a cloud, but she looked down and saw Pinkie with the others. “Have you four finished seeing those boring Twilight study sheets?”
“Yes, Dashie, and we are now going to celebrate our one year of friendship. Would you like to go to the party? It will have cake, music, ice cream and punch.” Pinkie invited Rainbow.
“Of course I would like to go, Pinkie,” the blue pegasus mare came out of the cloud, landed on the ground and her wings closed. “I would never stop going to a single party of yours.”
“Aww. Thank you, Dash,” said Pinkie with a cute smile. “Now follow us to Sugarcube Corner.”
“But, don’t you have to organize your room for the party?” asked Rainbow, now confused.
Pinkie laughed at Rainbow’s phrase. “Silly filly, my room is always organized for a party. Now, come on, ponies!”
Upon arriving at Sugarcube Corner, they went straight up to the room, and to the mare’s surprise except Pinkie, everything was already organized for the party. It had the game of picking apples from the water, a phonograph, punch and a chocolate cake with a three-story strawberry topping. Twilight couldn’t help but notice that it looked like Gummy’s party, only the only difference was that Gummy wasn’t a birthday alligator.
Twilight watched each one go to one side of the room to do something: Pinkie turned on the phonograph and an animated song started playing, Applejack and Rainbow went to the apple game in the water to challenge themselves, Rarity went to drink punch and Fluttershy started dancing . Twilight decided that she would dance a little with Fluttershy. Maybe doing this, she could relax after that night of study of yesterday?
After ten o’clock, the party was over, and the five mares left Sugarcube Corner while Pinkie just watched them through her bedroom window. Twilight couldn’t help but notice that the party lasted a whole day, literally.She needed to confess that from dancing so much, it made her hungry. Because it was night, there was almost no one on the street. Twilight opened the library door and went in, she could smell food coming from the kitchen. She decided she was going to do something to distract herself while dinner was not ready. She approached a bookcase and started to think about which book she could choose to read. She stood by the bookcase; deciding and thinking about what kind of book she should read, until after an hour, she decided she was going to read a Daring Do book, but when she wrapped up the Daring Do book with her magic and was about to take it off the shelf, Spike interrupted her.
“Twilight! Dinner is already on the table!”
Twilight released her book as she blew out a breath and went to the table, she didn’t realize that while she was thinking about which book to choose the time was passing by, I mean, she knew that, only she didn’t think it would be too fast. Twilight watched Spike serve her and give her a plate of food, then serve him. She took the fork, took some of the pasta and started eating. She needed to confess, the sauce and pasta were delicious.
“So Spike, what did you do today?” asked Twilight, after swallowing the pasta.
“I spent the day with the Cutie Mark Crusaders; helping them to try to discover their talent and receive their Cutie Mark,” Spike replied before eating the pasta that was on his fork.
“And did they do it?” asked Twilight with a smile. A few months ago, Applejack told her about making a tree house, but now known as a club for the three fillies without Cutie Mark; she was obviously happy for what Applejack did, because that meant Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo could see each other and meet there to try and win their Cutie Mark.
“Unfortunately, not yet,” Spike replied, now sad, but soon got excited. “But I will not give up helping them.”
Twilight was happy that Spike helped the three fillies, even though it might take a few years.
After an hour’s meal, the two of them had finished eating, Spike picked up the dishes and take them to kitchen to wash them, while Twilight trotted to the shelf to get the book to read, went up to the bedroom and lay on the balcony to read, at first she intended to read in bed, but then she decided it would be better to read on the balcony because afterwards she intended to continue her astronomy studies. She put the book down, lay down, opened it and started reading it.
But her reading was interrupted when she heard the flapping of wings, she looked ahead of her and realized that it was Luna who was on top of the supporter; she smiled at the Princess of the night. “Good night, Princess Luna!”
“Good night, Twilight. Is it okay for us to make you… I mean, for me to keep you company during the night?” asked Luna.
“Of course, Princess. If you want, you can sit and read this book with me.” Twilight showed the book to Luna.
“Daring Do: The sapphire statue of Anubis.”
“This is Ak Yearling’s first book, I’ve read it more than ten times, how about you?” asked Twilight.
Luna blushed and turned her head to the right because of Twilight’s cute smile. “I haven’t read any of her books, because like I told you before, I haven’t been to the library and haven’t read anything since my return.”
“Do you ever plan to go to the library or read a book, Princess?” asked Twilight.
“W-well, yes, I’m going to come to your library to read with you, but that counts, right?” asked Luna.
“My home is really a library, and as you are going to keep me company now to read, so technically yes.” Twilight sat down again, put the book on the floor, opened it where she had stopped reading and waited for Luna.
Luna sat on the left side, but a thought came to her: probably after she confessed to Twilight her feelings and Twilight started dating her, Twilight would continue to call her Princess, and she wanted somepony close to her and her future marefirend would call her by her name, not by title, and see her as a normal pony, not a princess.
“Twilight.” Luna started.
Twilight stopped reading it and looked at Luna with a smile. “Yes Princess?”
The princess can’t help but blush with that unicorn smile, she can feel her heart beat fast.
My moon, why are you so cute, Twilight?
“A-as we are now friends, could you do me a favor?” Luna asked.
“You can count on me, Princess, I will not disappoint you!” said Twilight with a determined look.
“I ... I ... I would like you to call me just by my name, not by my title,” Luna replied. “Could you do this for me?”
Twilight didn’t expect Luna to ask for it, but that wouldn’t mean that she wouldn’t do what the princess was asking, because after all, Luna became friends with her during Nightmare Night, and why shouldn’t she? Although Luna was a princess, she was a normal pony like any other.
“Yes, Luna. I can do this,” she replied.
Luna was happy that Twilight would do that for her. Only despite that, she still wasn’t going to confess, since she was nervous. But that would be a matter of time before she had Twilight all to herself.
Soon, Twilight... Soon...
“Luna, I don’t want to rush you, but can we go back to reading the book now?”
“Sure, sure, Twilight,” Luna replied.
While Twilight went back to reading where she left off, Luna, on the other hand, was not reading the book, but was looking at Twilight with a smile.
