Luna was on the balcony of her room, thinking about Twilight with a smile as she had her front hooves on her cheek. She had just finished lowering the moon a minute ago, she wondered what Twilight was doing now, was the purple unicorn thinking of her? And if she was, what would it be? Was it about being in love with her? She let out a sigh of joy, just imagining them together.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching her bedroom door, until she heard a knock on the door. Luna stopped looking at the balcony, turned and entered the room. “You may come in.”
The light blue door opened, revealing a royal guard who soon entered and bowed to Luna. “Princess, breakfast is already on the table.”
“Thank you for informing me, I’m going there now.” Luna walked to the door and left the room, but before continuing on her way to the dining room, she closed the door with her magic.
Luna started to think what she should do today. Maybe she should stalk Twilight, but a doubt came to her mind: since she returned to rule with her sister, she has noticed that Celestia has received many letters. From who? She didn’t know, but she wanted to find out.
She opened the heavy yellow door with her magic and entered the room, she noticed that Celestia was already eating her pancake. Luna came over and sat down, but before she ate, she was going to ask Celestia.
“Good morning, Luna!” Celestia greeted in a happy tone.
“Good morning, sister,” Luna greeted back. “There is something I would like to know.”
“What do you want to ask me, Luna?”
“You know that since I returned, you started receiving letters, don’t you?”
“Yes, Luna, but why do you want to know?”
“It’s just that I would like to know, just out of curiosity, who’s been sending you letters since my return,” Luna replied.
“Whoever is sending me letters to me is Twilight. As she moved to Ponyville, she regularly sends me letters about everything she learned about friendship.”
Luna then felt an old feeling inside her being reborn again with Celestia’s words. Was Twilight sending letters to Celestia? But is it just letters about what she learned about friendship? Or could there be some love between the two? She needed to see and read these letters!
“Is it okay if I read all the letters that Twilight sent you?” asked Luna, in a in a calm tone, but inside she was full of anger.
“Of course you can read the letters, Luna. They’re in my room,” Celestia replied with a smile before going back to eating her pancake.
Luna started to eat her pancake, only quickly, since she needed to see these letters urgently! That was a matter of love!
After ten minutes, the Royal Sisters finished eating and left the room together; both intended to go to different locations in the castle. Celestia intended to go to the throne room at the request of a royal guard who informed her that the subjects needed her there, while Luna went to Celestia’s room to read the letters that Twilight sent to Celestia.
Luna, now felt a single emotion at the moment: jealousy. Why did Twilight send letters to Celestia? Was it because they were both marefriends and she didn’t even know? No, this cannot be true. But… what if it is? Her pupils changed to dragon slits. What she didn’t realize was that the royal guards seemed to be afraid of Luna.
She opened the door to Celestia’s room, and started looking everywhere for the letters. Until, she saw the letters on the left side of the bed. The princess ran to the bed, lay on her stomach and started opening each letter to read. As she read it, she noticed something: all the letters mention Twilight’s friends and a lesson the purple mare learned, and that was a relief, since none of them talked about dating. But, there was one that she read, that she mentioned, and how they were the same when it came to learning about friendship, since both were new to this friendship thing. That was enough for Luna’s jealousy to go away and the slits to be pupils again. She blew out a sigh of relief, knowing that Twilight was still hers. But before she left, she decided to take the letter that Twilight mentioned her, so she could save it to read as many times as she wanted.
Luna entered the room, closed the door and threw herself on the bed while hugging the written scroll. This could only be a dream! Twilight wrote about her in a letter that was for Celestia! Best of all, that letter was the one that Twilight sent on Nightmare Night! The same Nightmare Night where she appeared! How did she know that? Simple, it was written in the letter.
“This is the best day ever. Twilight wrote about me in a letter!” said Luna in a cheerful tone. “I will keep this letter with the greatest care.”
Luna lifted her head from the pillow, lifted her pillow, put the letter under the pillow, got up from the bed, went to the balcony and went flying to Ponyville. She wondered what Twilight was doing today, the only thing she expected was that Twilight had no one closer to her than she. Upon arriving in the city, she landed on a cloud that was very close to the oak house, waiting for Twilight to leave. The reason she didn’t go to the window to see it was because she didn’t want any of her subjects to see her peering out of a window. While Twilight does not leave the house, she decided to take the opportunity to think about how she should declare herself.
Hmm… let’s see… maybe I should start by praising Twilight for how beautiful and smart she is, and then confess? Okay, let me see how the phrase would look: Twilight, I need to confess something to you: you are beautiful and smart, so ... Could you be my marefirend and stay with me forever?
Luna just realized what she thought and hit a hoof on the forehead.
No. This is not good ... I can’t play it in the face, I need to make my statement good and that she accepts me dating.
The princess of the night heard the sound of the door closing, she looked down and saw Twilight happily leave the library with a white backpack with a pink six-pointed star design. Luna smiled when she saw Twilight. She placed the two front hooves on her cheeks as she watched Twilight trot through the small town. The good thing is that Twilight has not yet suspected that it is being watched, perhaps Twilight will never find out, after all.
She saw Twilight arrive at Boutique Carousel and knock on the door with a hoof. Luna was curious as to why Twilight went there. The door opened, revealing Rarity.
“Welcome to Carousel Boutique! Where everything is beautiful and… oh! Hi, Twilight! Do you need something?” said Rarity.
“I came to ask you something.” Twilight started.
“You can ask me, dear. I am listening to you.”
“Do you remember the constellation dress you said you were going to make for me?” Twilight recap.
“Yes, I remember, dear.”
“So, I was wondering if you already did it.”
“The dress is ready, yes, dear. Follow me.” Rarity entered the boutique, Twilight did the same. As soon as she entered, the door closed with pink magic.
Luna, wanting to know more about what was happening, went to the top floor of the house, where she believed it would be where Rarity made the dresses, due to having mannequins, devices and accessories to sew. She saw the door to the room open with a light blue magic. Rarity was leading the way, and Twilight was behind her. Rarity went to a mannequin wearing a dark blue dress with a constellation design, on the mannequin’s ear was a shooting star earring.
“This is your dress, dear,” said Rarity as she showed the mannequin with a hoof. Twilight approached the dress to analyze it. “I worked very hard on it, and I believe you will like it.”
“The dress is beautiful, Rarity,” said Twilight, now smiling.
“Thank you dear. I made sure he was cute, especially for you who like the night, ”Rarity thanked him with a smile. “Would you like to use it now?”
Twilight thought for a moment and looked at Rarity to answer. “Well, I would really like to use it.”
“Great!” Rarity used her magic to bring a dressing room. Then she left the locker room and waited for Twilight to finish putting on her dress and earring.
Luna watched Twilight put on the dress with a smile. She couldn’t help but agree that the dress was beautiful, especially now that Twilight was wearing it.
Twilight came out of the locker room and showed Rarity. “There, Rarity. What did you think? How I am?”
“You look fabulous, dear!” shouted Rarity in an admiring tone.
Luna had to agree with Rarity. Twilight looked fabulous wearing this dress. In fact, whether dressed or not, Twilight will always be fabulous.
“Thanks. Well, I’m going. Bye, Rarity. ” Twilight started to walk out of the room, Rarity just watched her.
Luna seeing that Twilight was going to leave the boutique, she stopped looking out the window and moved away from the window, waiting for Twilight. Until she heard the entrance door open and Twilight come out while closing the door with her magic. The only thing that Luna hoped would not happen was that everypony would start praising and playing on HER Twilight!
Twilight approached a library and went inside.
Luna approached the windows and watched Twilight open her backpack, take out a book and set it on the table.
“I came to return this book,” she said.
The mare took the book with her magic. “Thank you, now you can borrow another book to read at home.”
Twilight trotted over to the shelves and looked at the books on the shelf while she had a hoof on her chin in thought. Which book should she take to read? There were a lot of books in that library that she didn’t even read yet and that they didn’t even have in her library. Until she decided, she took a book off the shelf and went to the table to read, while Luna just watched her read the book through the window with a smile, the good thing is that the ponies were busy reading their books to notice her.
After twelve hours, just watching Twilight, she saw her get up from the table, levitate the book and go to the mare. “I’m going to take this book.”
The mare opened the book with her magic, and turned the pages until the last one, which had a card to stamp. She took the stamp, put some ink and the stamp. “Don’t forget to bring it back next week.”
“Don’t worry, ma’am, I’m not going,” said Twilight as she opened the backpack, put the book inside, and closed it. That done, she headed for the library door.
Luna, seeing this, left the window and flew to Canterlot, intending to go up to the moon and go to dinner. But just because she was going back to Canterlot now, it wouldn’t mean that she wouldn’t be back here later.
She landed on the balcony, turned and watched the sun go down before using her magic and making the moon rise, resulting in the color of the sky changing from yellow to pink, and then to dark blue, after that, she added the stars and constellations. She blew out a breath as she smiled and left the balcony and the room, just thinking about Twilight.
The princess of the night opened the golden door with her magic and saw her older sister already sitting at the table, having vegetable soup. She came over and sat down on Celestia’s left side.
“Good night, Luna! Have you finished reading the Twilight letters?” asked Celestia, looking at Luna with a smile.
“Yes, sister,” Luna replied.
“What did you think of the letters?”
“I liked it, but there was a single letter that I loved and I’m going to keep it.”
“Are you going to keep a Twilight letter for you? Which one?” asked Celestia curiously.
“The letter she mentions to me and how we are the same,” Luna replied dreamily as she put the front hooves on her cheeks just to imagine her and Twilight together.
Celestia soon smiled when she heard Luna’s response, she managed to identify which letter Luna was talking about.
“Ah! The letter she sent on Nightmare Night?” she asked to be sure.
“Yes sister, it is that letter, yes.” Luna confirmed with a smile, still thinking about Twilight.
Celestia was happy for Luna, she identified herself as Twilight, and now, soon, the two would go on a date. “Have you declared yourself to her yet?”
Luna left her thoughts and looked at Celestia to answer. “Not yet.”
“You still don’t know how you’re going to confess?”
“Yes, but it’s because I’m, at least for the moment, very nervous,” said Luna while looking sadly to the left. “And because of that, I don’t even know what I should say without resulting in rejection.”
Celestia got up from the chair, approached Luna and hugged her with a wing. “Luna, you don’t have to feel nervous or hurry about it. Take your time to think about how you will declare yourself to Twilight, okay? You can come to me for help or advice on this, but I am already warning you that the subject of love is not my specialty.”
Luna looked at Celestia, now uncertain. “Aren’t you specialized in that?”
“Unfortunately not,” Celestia replied sadly, but a smile soon appeared on her face, “but that doesn’t mean that I won’t try to help you with that.”
Luna smiled at Celestia’s words, she was happy to have Celestia as a sister. She hugged Celestia with her hooves. “Thank you Celestia, you are the best sister in the world.”
“You’re welcome, Luna.” Celestia thanked her as she returned the hug, now with her hooves.
The hug they were giving each other was very comforting, mainly because of Celestia’s wings being large and soft. They stopped hugging each other after five minutes and went back to taking their soups, well at least Celestia, since Luna didn’t even start drinking her soup because she talked to her sister.
Celestia didn’t notice, but Luna went back to thinking about her future marefriend while drinking her soup. She started to wonder if she should give a gift to show Twilight how she loved her, like an astronomy book. Like, it would be like a gift than everything Twilight did to her. But there was only one problem: the stores must have already closed. She blew out a sad breath, knowing that nothing had changed after her return to Equestria. Yeah, It looks like tomorrow she will have to buy a book, but she soon smiled, knowing it would be worth it in the end to give a gift to a book-loving mare like Twilight.
As soon as Luna finished her soup, she noticed that Celestia was no longer in the dining room with her, but that was obvious, since Celestia arrived first and before her. She got up from the chair and left the room, while the waiters and cooks took the dishes off the table.
She opened the door to her room and went inside while closing the door with her magic. As soon as she reached the balcony, she spread her wings and flew through the city of Canterlot until she reached Ponyville and saw Twilight on the balcony, only she was already without her dress and earrings. She landed on the backer and greeted her.
“Good night, Twilight.”
Twilight was writing something on the paper with her red quill, but upon hearing Luna’s voice, she stopped and looked at Luna with a smile. “Good night, Luna!”
“What are you writing on that scroll?” asked Luna, now looking and pointing at the written scroll.
“It’s a review of a book I read in the library today,” Twilight replied in a cheerful tone.
“What is the title of the book?”
“Harry Trotter and the order of the phoenix.”
Luna didn’t think Twilight was a Harry Trotter fan, she wanted to ask something. “Do you like J. K. Ponyling’s books?”
Twilight nodded. “Uh-uh. But she is in second place for my favorite author. ”
“What is your favorite author in the first place?” asked Luna.
“Why, A.K. Yearling! ” Twilight replied in an admiring tone.
Luna was confused by the name of the author, she had no idea who this author was and which books she published. “Who?”
“A.K. Yearling. The author of Daring Do’s books.”
“Ah, so the book you were reading last night was from this author?”
“Yes, have you read one of her books?”
“No, because I didn’t even know about this author, not even those few days and months ago after my return.”
Twilight did not imagine that Luna had not read any book by A. K. Yearling, but she soon understood why Luna did not know that this author existed: she returned to rule Equestria a year ago. “Would you like to read this volume that I brought from the library?”
Luna didn’t know if it was a good idea, she started scratching her knee with her hoof while looking to the right side nervously. “I… I don’t know if it’s a good idea for us to read it now. Weren’t you doing a summary of the book?”
“Actually, I already finished writing it, I was just adding my opinion to the book I read.” Twilight explained to Luna.
“This sounds interesting, but do you plan to write more?” Luna landed on the balcony floor and sat on the right side of Twilight.
“No, I’m just going to read what I wrote, and then, we can read the book I brought.” Twilight looked at the written parchment and started to read it, but what she didn’t realize was that Luna was looking at her with a passionate look.
Luna couldn’t help, but agree that the atmosphere between them was calm, maybe she could use this moment to confess what she feels, but her heart started to beat fast just for her to have to do it. She feared rejection more than anything.
Oh Twilight… I wanted to confess to you so badly, but I’m so nervous… nervous that you won’t accept dating…
“I’m done reading my review, Luna, now we can read the book I brought,” said Twilight as she took the book with her magic and opened it.
“S-sure,” Luna stammered as she blushed and smiled.
Twilight noticed Luna’s tone and looked at her with concern. “Luna? Are you alright?”
“Of course, why wouldn’t I be?”
“It’s just that you stuttered, and blushed.” Twilight scored.
“You don’t have to worry about me, Twilight. I’m fine, really,” Luna assured, still blushed. “How about we start reading the book you brought?”
Twilight seemed uncertain about Luna’s words for a few seconds, but she soon looked at the book to start reading. “Okay then, if you say...”
