Past Thoughts

Tea in the moonlight

Luna and Celestia sat there for a very long time, basking in the presence of the shooting star.

"Sister?" Luna sniffled. "Can I have some tea? The... that tea?"

"Ye-yes Luna" Celestia said, rubbing her face against her sisters. "I think this is the time we should break it out."

Discord entered Twilight's observatory. She spent most of her time here the past few centuries. Tonight she was going to get some much needed sleep, but she woke up after the huge burst of magical energy.

Twilight, sensing Discord turned to him. "Oh, hello Discord, is this your doing?"

Discord merely shook his head."No Twilight, now please listen to me. Do not disturb Luna and Celestia tonight."

Twilight took a step back. "Luna is here? And why not, tonight is beautiful!"

Discord put a paw on Twilight's shoulder. "Twilight, tonight I'm not going to even say the word chaos again. This is something those two need."

Twilight's jaw dropped. The last time he hadn't done chaos was the day Fluttershy died, over a thousand years ago.

"Why?"

Discord sighed. "Let me try and explain."

Celestia levitated a black and white wooden box from it's cubby and placed it in front if her sister and her.

Breaking the seal Luna smiled at what was inside.

"Father always said the tea was better with wine. At least he put a few bottles of his homemade wine in here."

Celestia looked at her sister. "You know... As soon as the tea is opened, it will become a part of this world..."

"Yes dear sister of mine. Please, lets begin."

Luna lifted two goblets made of a blue and white metal from the box, as Celestia lifted a bag of leaves and one of the bottles of wine.

Luna set the goblets on the floor of the balcony and lifted the glass pot from the box, leaving only a few bottles of wine over ten thousand years old and a small bag.

Celestia pored a part of the bag in the pot and Luna added some wine. A combined flash of magic and the tea started to boil.

"Are, are you ready Luna? we haven't had any of this before."

Celestia hated being nervess, but this box was the last thing their parents had ever given them, the last thing that was left in this world that Nova and Quasar had touched.

"Yes."

The sisters laid there for a while more waiting for the tea to steep and watching the shooting star.

Luna broke the silence by lifting the goblets in the air and giving Celestia a questioning look.

"Yes Lulu, I think it's time."

Luna dipped both in the pot filling them halfway and gave one to Celestia.

"Ready?"

"Ready."

With that the sisters took a sip of tea, from leaves not of their world. The flavor that seeped into their mouths soothed them and calmed their hearts.

The sister of the moon, and the sister of the sun looked longingly at the night sky, remembering the days from long ago.

Nyx looked up from her work as Cadence walked in.

"Is everything ok Aunite?"

"Cadence smiled. "Nyx, why don't you look out the window?"

"Um ok" Nyx walked over to the tower window and pushed the certains open. "Oh."

"Yes, oh."

The clouded sky was clear all the way to the crystal kingdom and beyond.
