//------------------------------// // Staying for one night // Story: Just The Two Of Us // by Alto Harmony //------------------------------// “Hmm, what is it sister?” Luna said waking up with a big yawn. She looked right at me very closely. “And you must be Alto, correct?” And I nodded and gave her a bow. Then she looked back up at her sister. “I’m really sorry sister, I’ll try to be more awake next time.” Luna said tiredly. “It’s fine Luna, I know how hard you work.” Celestia said as she gave Luna a hug. “Well Alto now that you’ve met us, tell us about yourself besides your favorite foods of course.” Celestia said giggling a little bit. “Well I do love music but more specifically classical, but don’t get me wrong I listen to dubstep and rock too sometimes. And blue is my favorite color. Also I stay inside a lot so I don’t really go outside unless I want to.” I said looking at the princesses. They both smiled at me knowing that I shared some things about myself, but of course I smiled back. “I see, that is quite interesting.” Celestia said with a smile. Then she started to ask me another question. “Now that we know a little more about you, is there anything you want to know more about us?” Celestia said. And I did have more questions but it was only just a few of them. “Yes um I don’t think I fully understand what you and Princess Luna do, so what exactly do you princesses do?” I asked though I was a little bit nervous, even though I kinda knew what they do. “Well as you can see by my cutie mark, I have the power to raise and lower the sun.” Celestia said as she looked back to Luna. “And my sister here has the power to raise and lower the moon.” Celestia said. “My sister lowers the sun when it’s nighttime, and raises it when it’s daytime.” Luna explained. “And I lower the moon when it is daytime, then raise it when it’s nighttime.” Luna said explaining again. And I was pretty impressed and amazed by their abilities. I was going to ask another question but Luna spoke up again. “And believe it or not Alto, me and my sister work very hard. I also have the power to go into other ponies dreams to make sure that they are all well and rested. And depending on a situation, me and my sister both have to go to meetings and other royal duties.” Luna said still a little bit tired. “Oh I’m sorry I didn’t know it was hard.” I said. But the princesses just chuckled. Maybe because despite it being hard they still loved doing what they do. Which is pretty neat. And it seems that I am right. “Oh no need to apologize Alto, though it can be tough and hard it’s still something that we both value very much.” Celestia said as she and Luna both smiled. Then Celestia asked me something. “Is there anything else you wanted to ask?” Celestia said. And there was. “Um is it ok if I spend the night here, just for one night.” I said very nervously looking at the princesses. They both seemed to be thinking. It was silent for almost twenty minutes until both Luna and Celestia looked right at me calmly. And I became more nervous than before. “Very well Alto.” Both Celestia and Luna said at the same time. I almost wanted to scream yay but stopped myself from doing so. It was kinda funny how they said it at the same time. But it was good anyway. “Guards, show Alto to the guest room please.” Celestia said commanding them. The guards gave a swift salute and escorted me to a big hallway which had three doors on the left and three doors on the right but there’s also a door right in the middle. And above on all of them had symbols but not just any symbols, they were symbols of cutie marks. I didn’t recognize any of them except the one with a star which was twilight’s. Then suddenly me and the guards stopped at the door that was right in the middle of the hallway. It didn’t have a cutie mark symbol so it must be a guest room. “This is the guest room Miss Alto, if you need anything else or have any more questions just let us or the princesses know.” The guard said as he turned and went away while the other guard stood still outside beside the guest room. Then I opened the door went inside and closed it and it was hard to believe that a guest room was this fancy. The whole room was amazing with a big bed, fancy covers and pillows, and the bathroom was also fancy. But I didn’t really care so I went right to bed and laid down slowly going to sleep.
