Luna ran up to her room in the castle, tears running down her face as she collapsed on her large full-moon shaped bed, hiding under her blue and black blanket decorated with the moon, and twinkling stars.
"Its going to be all in the papers! I... Ill be a laughing stock! I'm already like a shadow to my sister! Now no-pony will think I'm great like my sister!" She cries, a soft knock is heard on the door.
"Sister?" Her sister's soothing voice is heard "Sister... May I come in...?" Celestia says concern thick in her soothing voice. Luna un-locks her door with her magic and opens it.
"What...?" Luna says trying to stop crying.
"Luna...." Celestia says using her magic to gently pull the blanket down from over her sister. "Luna.... He didn't mean to make you upset... It was just meant as I simple joke..."
"I'm going to be a laughing stock for everypony! They were taking pictures! It will be in the papers about how the younger sister of our great-and-powerful sun princess made a fool of herself! I had just started to be a little respected! And then this..." Luna says starting to cry a little more.
"Shhh.... Shhh...." Celestia uses her magic to lift a tissue from Luna's bed-side table and give it to her. "You will not be a laughing stock my young sister. Not if I can help it. I will find a way.." She says trying to soothe her crying sister.
"Pr-promise...?" Luna says sniffing as she blows her nose and wipes tears away.
"I promise my sister... Now.. Come.. Its time for me to lower the sun, and for you to raise the moon.." Celestia says becoming her sister with a wing, Luna slowly stands as Celestia wraps a wing around her lovingly, the walk out on the balcony together, Celestia gently lowers the sun as Luna begins to fly up to raise the moon, she stops and looks down at her sister.
"Sister?" Luna asks.
"Yes? Is something wrong? Do I need to move the sun faster?" Celestia says flaring her magic to start to make it go a little faster
"No sister.. Would you help me with the stars tonight? Like we used to when I was young?" Luna softly smile as Celestia smiles back up at her.
"I would love to my dear young sister." Celestia says happily as she watches her sister almost effortlessly raise the moon. Celestia flies up along beside her to begin to help arrange the stars, something they haven't gotten to do in a long time. Discord steps out on the balcony as they land.
"What? You're so upset you can't arrange the stars by yourself?" He snorts "I guess everypony was right that you are like a little filly.." He smirks and Celestia glares at him harshly
"Discord! She invited me to help her like I used to before she could do it by herself!
"Oh Celestia! My dear! You take every thing much to seriously! Its called a friendly joke!" He says curling around her and looking at her from under her chin.
"I still want you to say you're sorry for what you did to her at the reception." Celestia says firmly, Luna just watching silently.
"But dear..." Discord begins to protest.
"No buts Discord." Celestia says, her eyes harder than rocks.
"Fine... Fine..." He mumbles. "I am sorry Luna for making you do that amazingly funny dance at our wedding reception..." He says it with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, Luna sighs and looks down.
"All is forgiven Discord..." She says going back into her room, leaving Celestia and Discord alone on the balcony.
"See! All is well!" He says with a smirk.
"I suppose.... I still don't think you should of done it though... Come on... We'd better get some rest.." Celestia says flying over to their room.

Luna sighs softly picking up a quill with her magic as she begins to write in her journal like she always does at night.
"They are really married now..." She says to herself sighing, as she walks outside on her balcony setting the quill down to look at the moon shining above, the few ponies who are still up at this hour enjoying the full moon. She gently spreads her wings and flies down to the castle gardens, walking watching the animals of the night scurry about, the birds flying gently above, or sleeping in the trees softly, she sighs to herself not looking where she is going, she hears a small squawk of pain, she looks down to see she stepped on a small Barn Owl's wing.
"What are you doing out of your nest?" She asks gently looking at the small owl.
"And you're hurt... Come. I will fix you up in my room." She says gently picking the small owl up and carrying it gently to her room, she carefully grabs bandages and wraps it around the small owl's wing.
"There little owl.. All fixed up.. It will be a while before you can fly.. You can stay with me. I'm a night pony.. Much like the owls.." She says smiling at the small owl and scratching under its beak gently, making it relax slightly.
"You seem to like that don't you?" She smiles as she picks up the quill from her desk and begins to write again, still scratching under the young owl's beak. She writes thinking to herself, she finishes and looks at the young owl resting on her desk still.
"Hmm...." She ponders looking at it.
"I bet you're hungry... Stay here.." She says flying outside.
"Hoo?" The owl says softly as Luna flies out the window, she returns later with a small rodent.
"You like mice... Right?" She says as she sets it in front of the owl.
"Hoo?" It simply responds looking at the small mouse, it slowly begins to eat it and Luna smiles.
"That's a good... Boy? Girl?" She says looking at the owl trying to figure it out, she casts a spell to tell.
"That's a good boy.." She smiles petting him softly.
"I should name you..." She says looking at him pondering for a few moments as he watches her his head cocked to one side.
"Night Song..? No...." She shakes her head.
"Hmmm.... Night Watcher...? No.. That's even worse...." She sighs thinking...
"Moon Beam? Hmm... Maybe... Moon Light?" She smiles to herself.
"I think Moon Light fits you." She pets him.
"What do you think?" She asks him smiling.
"Hoo!" He responds.
"Ill take that as a yes that you like it." She chuckles and gently closes the balcony doors.
"Moon Light it is..."
