Luna got up from her bed and took a deep breath.
I need to talk to that... that... Trollestia! She thought angrily.
She was about to storm through the door (quite literally; like an angry raincloud, small sparks of lightning were shooting from her) when an object caught her eye. It wasn't very out of the ordinary here at Canterlot Castle, but Luna couldn't stop and stare at it. The object, a glittering solid-gold plate with some moon cake crumbs on it was balanced on top of Luna's bedside table. Woah, She thought, Who knows how much this plate could be worth? Luna flew up and properly looked around her "room". More like a museum, The princess of the Night thought to herself. There were riches everywhere, from her chandelier to her private bathroom.
"I have all these... luxuries... and all I do is sport a horn and wings? Not to mention I raise and lower the moon... but still. Poor unicorns back before Equestria was founded could raise the sun AND moon in their sleep!" She sighed. "It's not like i'm any different then 'normal' ponies."
After a few moments she suddenly shot up from the ground, exclaiming, "I'm right! I'm no different than other ponies, so why shouldn't they get some decencies?"
Luna once heard Tia say that a settlement of homeless ponies was forming in the Everfree forest. Celestia was about to kick them out but Luna pleaded so hard that the Sun Goddess had no choice but to let them be.
That's a great idea!Luna thought, I'll give some of my riches to ponies who REALLY need them!
Luna levitated some jewel - encrusted objects with a light blue aura. She found a large velvet bag in her closet and began putting some of her loot in there, when -
"Oh, not at all, Fleur. I was just going to - Luna! What are you doing! We have guests!"
Luna turned around, meeting Celestia's cold gaze. What are you doing? She mouthed.
"I was just... just.." Luna looked up at her sister's "guests". There was a tall, slender unicorn with pink hair, holding on to the other unicorn's, this one with a well - groomed blue mane, hoof. "Dreadfully sorry about that," Celestia tried to explain, but Fancy Pants cut her short. "Not at all, m'lady! Hello, I'm Fancy Pants." The stallion reached out a hoof to Luna, and she shook it.
"I'm Princess Luna," She said akwardly.
A few uncomfortable moments passed, and Luna felt like she was slowly turning into a beet.
"Well then," It was Tia who broke the silence.
"Run along, little brat." Celestia chuckled. "Go have fun doing... whatever you do these days."
Luna ran out her bedroom, and Celestia proceeded with the tour. "Now," she smiled nervously. "Where were we?"
***********************************
Luna hurried through the castle, occasionally bumping into a Royal Guard or two. She turned left and right around corners, until she appeared to be in a Castle wing she had never explored before.
As she glided down a hallway she noticed one of the doors was open just a tiny crack.
Luna peeked inside, and what she saw shocked her.
From floor to ceiling, the room was full of gold. Not only a mountain of it, but also golden artifacts, fountains, thrones, you name it. Luna frowned as she stepped inside the great hall. It was shining so bright it almost had a radiant glow to it, but Luna was not interested. Was this her sister's work? Is this where all the tax money goes? Questions were flooding her mind as she racked her mind for answers.
Suddenly and swiftly, a black, velvety bag came across Luna's head.
"AAAAAKKKK!" She screamed, but it seemed like the bag was enchanted, preventing her to make any noise. She did, however, hear her captor's voice. And it only said one word.
"Gotcha."
