Chapter 1
A bright and sunny day with not a cloud in the sky had come up once again on such a fine morning. This was definitely going to be as good as a day as yesterday... and the day before that... and the day before that... and... the... day... before... that.... These were the thoughts going through Luna's mind as she stared out her window and looked at the “new” day that they have been bestowed upon by her sister Celestia. She was happy to see good mornings every day, but was very tired of seeing each day go about the same way. Every so often though she'd see interesting things happen with the Mane Six, or hear about it, but every day was just boring. Nothing exciting usually happened anymore.
Luna then looked away from the window and headed towards her mirror to brush her mane. As she was looking in the mirror, she heard a knock on the door.
“Come in.” she said. The door opened and it was one of Celestia's Guards. He walked to her, bowed, and then stood up tall saying:
“Princess Luna, Princess Celestia is back from raising the sun and would like to know if you would want to go on a walk through Ponyville with her and Princess Twilight.”
Now this was something new to her. She hardly ever got to go anywhere with her sister nowadays with them both being so busy. Luna was overjoyed but at the same time concerned. The last time she went for a walk through Ponyville, some of the citizens there wouldn't look at her with much respect. Instead, they would scowl at her, and turn away. This always left her very confused. But she just brushed this off as nothing to worry about. Besides, they wouldn't do something like that to her sister. So everything would go just fine.
“Tell my sister I would be delighted to join them.” she said to the guard. “I will be with them shortly.”
“Yes your highness.” the guard said as he bowed one last time, turned towards the door, and walked out of the room.
After hearing this, she finished brushing her mane, put on her shoes and necklace, and headed out the door.
~outside Canterlot castle~
Luna exited the main doors of the castle and went to met up with Twilight and Celestia. She found them just a few yards away from the main gate. They both appeared to have been talking to each other about something but she didn't quite know. As she approached them, they both stopped talking and looked in Luna's direction. They both smiled as Luna walked up beside them.
“Hello Miss Sparkle,” she said with a smile on her face “Or should I call you Princess Twilight?”
Twilight smiled back to her and chuckled a little. “Oh its alright, I'm fine with Twilight, you don't have to call me anything else.”
“Well then,” Luna said “I shall call you Twilight instead. So how does it feel to be one of the new Princesses?”
“Oh it's great...” she said with a grin that soon turned to a more concerned expression “But I preferred it when I was able to spend more time with my friends. The Princess thing is great and all, but it gets kinda lonely sometimes, no offense Princess.” she said looking at Celestia with a weak smile.
She smiled back and said “I understand Twilight. And your right. It does seem to be pretty boring at times, but it really isn't all that bad. In fact your not the only one who gets bored. Some of the guards actually get pretty bored too.”
“Really?” Both Luna and Twilight said looking at Celestia with confused expressions.
“Yes. There was this one time, when one of my personal guards had become so bored, that he decided to go to the window, and use his binoculars to find any sexy mares passing by on the streets of Canterlot.”
Still confused, and a little shocked that Celestia would use that word, the two of them exchanged expressions and then looked back at Celestia.
“Uhhhh... How do you know whether or not he was looking for mares?” Luna asked awkwardly.
“Because he was shouting and jumping up and down once he saw some that peaked his interest. He was saying things like 'ohhhhh yeah! Check that plot out! Woo! Woo!'” she said with a huge grin on her face.
Celestia then burst out laughing while the other two just stood there awkwardly looking back and forth between Celestia and themselves. It was very weird to think Celestia would find something like that funny.
After she had calmed down, she then looked at the other two with a huge grin on her face. “So ready to head to Ponyville?”
Twilight and Luna just shook their heads and said “YES” in unison.
“Well then lets go.” She said as she opened up her wings and took to the sky. The other two followed close behind while at the same time kept their distance from her.
“Well that certainly hasn't happened before. And that is definitely the most awkward thing I've seen today.” Twilight said to Luna.
“Agreed.” Luna replied. “I've never seen my sister act like that before.”
“Well I'm sure there are even crazier things happening in Ponyville right now.”
“Perhaps.”
Luna kept quiet and decided not to tell Twilight or her sister about her thoughts and feelings about every day that goes by. Twilight seemed to get hit good portion of it, but not all of it. She just decided that maybe today would be different after all.
~Ponyville: Sugarcube Corner~
The three of them walked into the sugar filled building and were soon greeted by a bouncing pink pony and a timid yellow pegasus. Of course the two bowed, but just a few seconds after Celestia said for them to rise, Pinkie Pie started bouncing again.
“Helloooooooooooo Twilight, Luna, and Celestia!” She said ecstatically. “I just can't believe you guys are here! Spike was here last night running errands for you Twilight and he said you three might be stopping by. I wasn't sure at first, but then you showed up! How cool is that?! Do you want to play a game? Wanna make cupcakes? Wanna eat cupcakes? Oo! I know! Maybe you wanna eat muffins!”
At that moment Derpyhooves had crashed through the roof. She then stood up and said “Muffins?! Who said muffins?!”
“I did!” said Pinkie
“Um... Pinkie?”
Pinkie turned around to face her friend. “Yes Fluttershy?”
“Um, well you see, there's some ponies over there that wanted to talk to the Princesses and um, they don't sound very happy either.”
“Why not?”
“I don't know.” scared, she started to back away from the group. “They just seem really angry. Um, I have to go check on my Critter friends, so I'll uh, see you later, I guess.” By this time she was already outside. “It was nice seeing you Twilight, but I have to go so... uh... bye.” And with that she flew off.
Celestia and Luna looked at each other and looked toward the angry ponies on the other side of the room. None of them really looked happy at all. “Twilight, stay here please, Luna and I need to see whats going on.”
“Yes indeed.” Luna said looking at Twilight “Perhaps you'll get a feel on how to handle these type of situations when you come across them.”
“I understand. I'll wait here.” It had been at least a month since Twilight became an alicorn. Twilight had easily picked up on how to use her new magic and quickly became an expert in flying without any flaws over time. However she didn't seem to know much about taking care of situations such as these. She figured 2 experts in this field would be the best at something like this for now.
The two approached three angry ponies and sat with them quietly at the table. To Celestia's surprise, but not to Luna's, the three scowled at Luna and looked angrily towards Celestia. She could tell that this would not end well. Luna the same.
“Please, my loyal subjects, whatever is the mat-”
“Oh shut up Celestia.” One of the three ponies had happened to be Roseluck. And it appeared she was the most upset. “Why would you ask such a retarded question? You should know darn well why we're upset!”
Shocked by this response, Celestia turned to a more aggressive tone and began again. “As a matter of fact I don't, so please, do fill me in.”
One of the other ponies huffed and continued to give nasty looks to the two Princesses. Roseluck then continued. “Very well then.” She glanced at Luna for a second or two then looked back at Celestia. “Why the hell would you let her live?!” She shouted pointing towards Luna. “For that matter let her even live amongst us?! After all shes done, she doesn't deserve to be here! For all we know she could still be Nightmare Moon and we wouldn't even know it!”
Luna somehow knew this day was coming. The day some of the ponies would turn against her because of past events. Luna didn't want to admit it to herself, nor her sister, but she knew that something wasn't right. It was only a matter of time before it became more of a problem than they thought.
