//------------------------------// // Interlude: A Checkup // Story: Lunar Cycle // by Purple Thunder //------------------------------// Twilight finished writing the second report to Celestia just as the goddess herself walked in. ‘Celestia, what a surprise! I was just about to send the reports,’ ‘So how’s Luna faring?’ Celestia glanced over at Luna’s unconscious form. ‘Well.... She’s going to be unconscious for a while. It took me about two hours to get to year one hundred, and with writing down as I went, it took about six hours, and that's when I'm at my full capacity of magic. I estimate about three days before I can get all of it, partly because I won't be able to keep it up.’ Celestia sat down next to Luna, stroking her starry mane. ‘I will have some lunch delivered to you, do make sure that you eat. I will be back in six hours, to check on Luna,’ ‘Here are the first two reports, if you have any spare time before you come back, read them.’ Twilight got a fresh sheet of paper out, to continue writing. Celestia picked up the reports, her horn glowing. ‘I’m afraid I must go. Royal Duties. Sometimes I hate being a princess,’ Celestia stroked Luna’s mane one last time, then got up. ‘Twilight, do make sure she doesn’t go comatose.’ Celestia left the room. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN: The Interludes are going to be VERY short.
