Celestia yawned as she trotted down the long hallway towards her room. Exhausted from the long meetings that had been scheduled throughout the day, she was now ready to finally be able to have some alone time and get to her bed to sleep off her sore mind. To her left was a window looking out to the castle gardens where she saw Discord sitting down by the pond by himself. Curious, she stopped to watch what he was doing.
From what she could see, the spirit was using his magic to bounce the waters surface to a beat while using sticks to play music off the trees. Chuckling to herself, Celestia walked on to her destination. It had seemed different in the week since Discord promised not to do anymore harsh pranks. In fact, he had nearly completely stopped entirely. "It does seem calmer without those..." She said to herself before a frown spread across her muzzle, "a little too quiet."
She was right. While the pranks had become annoying, they almost became part of the princess's lives on a daily basis. Now that they stopped, it felt like something was missing from-
"Come on, that's rigged!"
Celestia stopped from the yell that came from her sisters chambers. Curious, she quietly approached the door to see it slightly ajar. Pushing it opened, she gazed in to see what the commotion was from before an annoyed look came onto the sun goddesses face. "Not again."
Luna was sitting in front of her computer monitor, furiously smashing the buttons of her controller as she guided her character in her new game Mare of Duty: Shadow Ops 2. On her head around one of her ears was a headset, which Celestia could hear voices coming through even from her position. Watching the screen, all the white alicorn could tell what was happening was a long rifle pointed outward with a pair of hooves holding it. Before she could even really look around,Luna turned the character around and eliminated three other ponies.
"Ha! Trying sneak up on the princess of the night? Futile efforts!" Luna yelled out in excitement.
Celestia rolled her eyes as she listened to her sister go on. 'This is what she does in most of her free time. She should be getting out and doing better things than this.' Looking at the screen again, she noticed Luna's score was about even with Nother players, both of them almost claiming the top spot as the timer came down to the last ten seconds.
'Do a prank on each other once in a while!'
Discord's voice rang inside of Celestia's head, bringing an idea to her. "Alright, she should know gaming is bad for her." Plucking a feather from her wing, Celestia levitated it over to her sister's head and began to rub it along Luna's neck line. Immediately, the blue alicorn convulsed upwards.
"Gah!" Luna helped as her sensitive spot was suddenly tickled by something making her fall to her side. After a second, she crawled back up and glared back at Celestia. "Tia you know I don't like being touched there, why did you-"
"You have been defeated. Don't let this happen again." The computer said.
Luna spun around and looked at the kill cam as it played the winning point. As the gun came around, it moved in slow motion before taking out the victim that cost the game; and that was hoping other than herself, standing completely still as the rounds struck her character. "You have got to be bucking me!"
Wings flared out, she turned around to scold her sister, only to see her gone. Luna gritted her teeth as she stood up from her seat. "Alright Tia, you wanna play games like that? I know how to have fun as well."
