Stop singing! This doesn't make any sense!” Celestia said loudly. “The ambulance came and what a shame; for the old mare wa-as dead dead dead!” “LUUUUNA!” Celestia yelled. Luna stopped singing. “But...but there are four more verses! Oh, well you must not like that one. I'll just sing a different one.” She took a deep breath. “Rain, rain, go away...come back some other day...little Celly doesn't want to play...because she's an old mare who's going GREEEEEEY!” she sang the last few words in quick succession, singing the last note with such a high pitch that a few heavily stained glass windows broke, revealing the outside. “How did you like my improvisation? I thought it was very creative.” “Luna!” Celestia said loudly. “Your singing is quite interesting,” she started hesitatingly. Luna beamed. “But there is one thing...” Celestia said slowly. “Yes?” “IT'S. NOT. RAINING.” Celestia said with vigor. Luna turned her head slowly to the broken window and looked outside to the cloudless blue sky. “Oh.”
