//------------------------------// // I love you // Story: As the Sun Sets, Twilight Covers. // by Pickleless //------------------------------// Good morning. How do you know when I'm near my journal? I'm good at studying others habits. You always check your journal right about now, before you head to school. In other words, you're a perfect stalker. No. ... Yes. Do you stalk Celestia too? Technically, yes. How do you have no self confidence yet no fear or respect for Celestia? Because I've lost control of my life. ... Do you wanna talk about it? I'm fine. Would you like me to put on sad soulful music for atmosphere before I tell you you're not fine? I wouldn't be able to hear it Sunset. Yeah but you know I would be playing it. No Sunset, I don't need sad soulful music. Right, I'm gonna put on some sad soulful music. Sunset. ... Sunset? Are you actually putting on music? Okay, back. Twilight, you are obviously not doing okay. Really, I'm fine Sunset. Okay, but what if you weren't fine? Sunset. You can say my name all you want, Princess Celestia, but you're not my mother, and you're not immune to pain. ... Twilight? Sorry, I was distracted. Geez, I have the sad music going on and everything. I apologize. Are you really sorry? Of course. Then tell me what's bothering you. Sunset please, all my needs are met, and I'm not in danger. I'm far more worried about you. I live under a roof with the principal and vice principal of my school. I'm eating well, sleeping well, and wearing a large fluffy white alicorn suit I bought because it annoys Celestia. ... You find the alicorn suit weird too don't you? How would you feel if I showed up wearing a suit that looked like you? Flattered. This is like those children books where apes lived in houses shaped like their heads or bananas. It's weird, how could you not find it weird? All I need is a friend that's like Luna and I can put you two in the same room and watch the fireworks go off. ... Twilight? What is Luna like? Introverted, cold to strangers, sensitive. Once you get on her good side she's like the fun aunt I never had. She lacks volume control, she gets excited over small stuff, but it's adorable. I think she would drive you nuts. She and Celestia don't exactly see eye to eye, but it's clear they love each other. It's more than I can say for your Celestia, because Luna is either missing or dead over there. Looks like you got the short end of the stick, huh~? Yes. This Celestia is nice too. She's a lot less all knowing outside of the school, and more tired. She kind of just melts on the couch and spaces out, so I leave her alone. I see. Are you okay? Yes. Are you sure? Yes. Are you actually trying not to cry? No. What got you fucked up this time? Is it Celestia again? Yes. Ugh! What did she do to you this time? I swear, she's the worst. She ruined her sister. Woah what? Story time, gimme those details. Why do you care what she did? You hate her. I'm curious, and I don't completely hate her. ... Twilight? What changed? What? You don't completely hate Celestia now? You won't tell me what's wrong, and you won't tell me Luna's backstory, so until I get one of those I'm not telling you my thoughts on the matter. ... Very well. I have lost control of my life because an inevitable doom is slowly approaching me that I intend to fight, and as things go on I find myself caring less and less. What. Your turn. HELL NO IT'S NOT MY TURN WHO IS TRYING TO KILL YOU?! Princess Luna. ... Why? HOW? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have shared this, I'm clearly stressing you out and you don't need this in your life, especially now that things are going so much better for you. Okay so first, fuck you, friendship is a two way road, and I'm allowed to worry about you. Second, fuck you, you totally have a double standard of wanting me to take care of myself yet you don't do the same for yourself at all. Third, FUCK YOOOOU, you can't just cocktease me with that information and then drop it. Maybe I would tell you more if you told me your feelings on Celestia. ... What is wrong with you? Everything, tell me your feelings, I’m deeply interested, I must know. Okay, so one hand, this is fucked up. On the other, this is the most selfish you have ever been with me and I've been trying to encourage this somewhat so I'll indulge you, just this once. I love you too. Go to hell. So being around the human Celestia helped me to see all her flaws. Before, she was this perfect thing, yet not perfect for me, so I hated her for both being perfect yet not good enough. Now, I see her as a living, breathing thing. She has feelings, emotions, makes mistakes. Your Celestia probably works just as hard as my own in her own ways, and I wish I could have had that perspective before I got the boot. She didn't give you the boot. Rather, Celestia didn't banish you from Equestria. She's lying, she banished me from the castle right before I left. That's not banishing you to different world. She was only going to banish you for a little bit. ... What the fuck. She was hoping it would help you calm down. How do you know all this? I asked her. How did you get her to answer honestly? She deeply regrets how she treated you. ... As interesting as this all is, why do you plan on fighting Luna? ... I almost regret telling you that, but at this point I'm too happy to care. You're in a happy home, with people that love you and are taking care of y- Twilight. ...you, and that's the most important thing to me right now. Twilight, where is Luna and why are you going to throw hooves with her? I apologize, Celestia is coming, I must retire for the night. Hey, don't just walk away from me! Twilight! TWILIGHT!
