Night 2
“Fellow bronies,” I said as the computer began to type. “I am pleased to return tonight with my guest: Princess Luna”
“I must thank you for hosting me for these past few months,” she began calmly, “and I am pleased to answer questions for my fans.”
“Thank you for being here Luna. Our first question comes from a fellow brony who lives in this building in room 1023.”
“Oh? Who is this fan of the show?”
“He is a co-worker of mine named Maxwell. Well, Max’s question is a rather simple one to ask. He wishes to know how you got along with your sister before your banishment.”
“Oh this one is a difficult one to answer.”
“Please try your best Luna, if you don’t wish to cover something then please say so.”
“’Tia and I were not around since the beginning of time, someponies would argue this notion but it is the truth my little bronies. While we were little fillies, there was a tremendous strain on the unicorns to do our current jobs. Regardless of what their talent was, scores of unicorns were tasked with raising the sun or raising the moon. Back in that time, ‘Tia and I just wanted to have fun. We did not know what our special talents were, nor did we embody all properties of our subjects.”
“Wow, so what was Celestia like when she was a filly?”
“She was a wild one, I was the good girl.”
“She was a real prankster?”
“Among other things, once she ran around using magic to draw all over everypony’s second story windows. But she never got in trouble for it.”
“Not even once?”
Luna shook her head. “She was mother’s little angel. If I was the one with the elements she would’ve been the one on the moon.”
“We talked about the banishment to the moon before, but let’s catch everypony up in regards to that. If you were supposed to be banished to the moon then why are you here on Earth?”
“’Tia was never known for her accuracy when it came to spells like that. To say she missed the moon would be the understatement of eternity.” She laughed, “I wouldn’t have missed.”
One short recess of laughing later we returned to the interview for tonight…
“Now, let’s get back on track, were you rather fun-loving as a filly?”
“I played with ‘Tia when I could, but I studied a lot; science, art, math, astronomy, the works.”
“Sounds like you had a lot on your plate. What really caused the rift between the two of you?”
“It all started back when we got our cutie marks. I got mine first when I joined the squad that raised the moon. I was gifted with the skill to raise and lower the moon all on my own. ‘Tia was furious, she wanted to join the sun team to try and outshine her little sister. At the time, she just did not have the discipline to do it like her little sister, so she was part of the team. In time, she improved and would later raise the sun on her own.”
“Got it, little miss ‘perfect ruler’ was the jealous type.”
“She shirked lessons too. It is a rather interesting thing to learn is it not?”
“Aside from the fact that if she knew you were sharing this-”
“She might not miss and actually send me to the moon?”
“Think she’d do the math or just eyeball it?”
“She’d do the math this time, or get somepony else to do it. This Twilight Sparkle would do it without a second thought if ‘Tia asked nice enough.”

“Okay,” I said with some glee, “were back now. Plenty of food and another episode of My Little Pony down; makes me sad knowing we’re counting down to when you leave.”
“I agree, the solstice will probably mean that we shall part ways for good. You have been a good friend over all this time.”
I smiled, trying to hide my sadness. “Care to say what you don’t wish to share with everyone?”
“Well, I’m not going into anything too graphic, like a play-by-play or something like that. However, I will be sure to share. ‘Tia sent me to the moon, so why can’t I belittle her some?”
“Then let’s pick up there tomorrow night.”
Luna grinned, “I like the sound of that.”
