After every last guard had left the room, the two princesses and a Doctor stood alone.

“Wait a moment, what time is it?” Celestia asked.

“It’s almost 6:30 in the morning,” Luna said when she located a clock on the wall.

Celestia nodded, with her eyes closed and wings opened. She sat on her haunches and with her forelegs; she slowly lowered the moon and raised the sun. “Happy New Year everypony.” The elder sister said to herself. 

“Wait a moment.” Luna interjected, “Today is the New Year?”

Her older sister nodded, “Yes. Today is officially my eighth hundred reign alone.”

“Well, not really, I’m here am I?”

Celestia gave a sad smile, “I suppose so.” And then she hugged her sister once more.

“Besides,” -Luna said with a confident smile- “I knew he was lying. I’m not really on the moon.”

Celestia fell silent. But after a while, she said: “You’re sure about that?”

“Of course I am. I did feel something on the moon you know, but I can tell you that whatever it was, it’s certainly wasn’t me.”

Celestia only nodded.

“Not a bad book.” The Doctor got the two sisters attention. “And I can see how the Master’s plan had failed.” The Doctor smiled, “I guess it’s amazing what a little editing can do.”

“You mean-” Luna asked but was quickly interrupted.

“Yep! Your sister had left out the part about you coming back at this time. I guess it left him quite unrepaired.”

“Oh, that’s clever,” Celestia said.

“Well then, Princess Celestia, this has been a fun day, but I think that we should probably get going.”

“Of course Doctor. But before you two go, can I say something to Luna?”

The Doctor thought about it for a moment. “Within reason.” He said.

“Of course.” Celestia placed a wing over her younger sister. “Luna, this may be the last time I’ll ever see you in, well, a very long time. Before you go, I want to thank you for visiting me when I needed it the most. Also, thank you for giving me a… unique break from all the mindless paperwork and given me this little adventure. And Luna,” -at this point, Celestia looked right into Luna’s eyes- “please don’t forget that I do in fact love you. That no matter where you are or what you may be doing, there’s nothing you’ll ever do to make me stop loving you. Please promise me that you’ll remember this.”

“Um, sure?”

Celestia reached down and to give her a nuzzle for the last time. “Goodbye Luna, wherever you go, be safe.”

Luna giggled, “Celie, I’m with the Doctor, of course, I’ll be safe. And when I get back, try to remind you to have me come back from… wherever sooner. Alright?”

“Well… yes, you try doing that.”

“I’ll see you later.” Luna reached up to nuzzle her sister before breaking from her.

“So Doctor, where and when do you have in mind?”

“Oh! Let’s see… How about we stop by the Secmailing Revolution, that one was a ton of fun!”

The good Doctor and Luna climbed aboard the TARDIS and closed the doors behind them. A moment later, Celestia watched once again that blue box vanishing from existence.

“Take good care of her Doctor, one day she’ll need it.”
