"Why didn't you tell me this was going to happen sooner?!" Twilight roared at Celestia, breathing heavily.

The Princess was not quite expecting this attitude from Twilight, but she was not surprised either. This was standard for a panicking Twilight — she was twilighting.

Celestia explained the gist of what was happening, "The sun is angry, Twilight. Well, it has been for five hundred years. I was able to put a stop to its expansion with an intricate spell and amulet. It seems, due to its complex procedure, the protection lasts only half as long as normal spells: half a millennium."

Twilight was shocked, her jaw wide open.

"I did not tell you sooner because . . . I forgot about it," Celestia confessed.

"Hey, you try remembering something for five hundred years," Celestia scowled.

"How do you forget something this important?"

"A lot of things I do are important. They all blend together after a few centuries."

"The death of the sun seems like a high priority to me."

"Snap out of it, Twilight. You know better than to act like this."

Twilight shook her head to refocus, "Apologies Princess. Just . . . this not only affects Equestria but the entire world."

"All the better reason to calm down and fix this with me."

"Right . . . Do they know yet? Canterlot? Equestria?"

"It is too late to inform the rest of Equestria what is happening. No, Canterlot does not know what is happening yet."

Celestia let out a groan of pain as the strain of keeping the temperature regulation bubble up was becoming almost unbearable.

"Princess, are you alright?"

"I'm alright, but we must hurry."

Twilight considered how to continue . . .
