Luna was beside herself with joy, after five and a half years she had finally convinced her sister to let her foal sit Crystal. It was less fun because Twilight had fixed the filly’s wonderful speech impediment, but they could still have their share of excitement.
“What do you mean past her bed time?” Luna became enraged. Not only was it going to rain that evening covering up her wonderful night sky, but her sister had tricked her.
“I mean that I only need you to watch over her while she sleeps.” Level headed as always, her sister replied with a warming smile.
The princess of night emitted a low growl before speaking again to reveal a rather unusual fact, “That’s not special, do you know how many foals I watch sleep every night? All of them! Chrysie included.”
“Sister, do we need to talk about your nightly activities? I don’t think parents would appreciate knowing that one of their beloved princesses was doing nothing but watching their foals sleep at night.”
“Oh come on Tia I do more than that, I also watch Twilight Sparkle sleep at night. Occasionally I’ll watch the Cakes at night but they aren’t always sleeping... By the flapping gates of Tartarus Tia, I even watch you sleep from time to time.”
Celestia was beside herself. Did her sister really just admit to...? “Luna, that’s awful!”
“Not really, they are married. What they do under their own roof is their business... also mine sometimes... and Pinkies every so often.”
“So, you just watch them mate?”
Now it was Luna’s turn to be disgusted. With a tone of surprise she defended herself from the accusation, “Are you insane? They play cribbage on one of those boards that can support three players so Pinkie can play every once in a while. I even joined them once. It is a delightful game. They often have tea and small cookies.”
“Alright... well I guess that seems less... uncouth, but you can’t... wait you said you watch me sleep?”
Luna rolled her eyes before speaking again, “Oh come on Tia, you know I like big butts and yours is the biggest.”

“Stupid sexy Tia.” With her coat coloring the black eye would not be easily noticeable to the casual observer, but it still stung whenever Luna lifted the bag of ice from her face. With her uninjured eye she watched the gentle rise and fall of her niece’s chest.
It was rather peaceful all things considered with the rain falling on the castle rooftops all other sound was muted. This of course made it incredibly boring. The princess of the night paced back and forth until finally a thought came to her.
“We can play in her dreams and the fun will be doubl... no the fun will be tripled!” Of course Luna forgot one little detail. When she entered another’s dreams anything not carefully watched could be dangerous enough to kill.”

Dearest and most wonderful sister, Princess Celestia, greatest and most high ruler of Equestria who is far better than her humble and apologetic sister...
Oops.
From the infinitely forgivable Luna

“What did you do?!” Tears flowed from the sun goddess’s eyes as she held her now lifeless filly.
Luna however was less than truly heartbroken as she tried to explain her actions, “Well I got bored of watching her sleep, so I used my dream walking ability to take her swimming. I took my eyes off her for like one second and...”
You foal! She’s five! I haven’t taught her to swim yet.”
Luna rolled her eyes before replying, “Duh Tia, that’s why I taught her to swim first. She got eaten by a shark.”

Only a few minutes later Luna was sitting once again on her moon staring down at Equestria. “Stupid sexy Tia, now how am I supposed to get my daily dose of your fine behind?”

Below in Canterlot a small funeral was held, full of weeping aunts and uncles. With one mortified mother holding an unusually somber draconequus. It was a quiet affair only accented by the sound of occasional sobs from those attending. Even Rainbow dash was a wreck, knowing that now she would never have the priviledge of teaching Celestia’s daughter to fly.
Still the greatest sadness belonged to one particular green star. In spite of Celestia’s promise she would not get to see her daughter grow. So without anything left to hold her to the world below, the former queen faded into the blackness of space.
Author’s Notes
I’m tired of writing this story... so I tried to figure out the best way to go out and I decided to pull off the ever popular killing of my main character. So I’ll be changing the status to complete and I’ll add the Tragic story tag because I guess it is rather tragic when a young filly dies. Still as you saw I tried to keep it somewhat lighthearted in spite of the tragedy. Um there was one more thing... I think... give me a few linesNope not that
No
That’s just silly
Oh wait... no
Well if you tried...
APRIL FOOLS!
