Awoken by the tap at her door she arose from her bed with tear stains on her cheeks.
"Who is it?" She asked with still a bit of sorrow in her voice.
"It's Tia"
"What do you want?" Luna replied, the tone in her voice changing to anger as she shakingly got the words out.
"It's time to raise the moon"
"I don't want to anymore. You do it"
Celestia paused for a moment before replying to her sisters statement. 
"What do you mean you don't want to do it?"
"I just don't!" She yelled walking away from the door "Everybody loves you. You're little miss perfect. You can do everything." She repeated muttering under her breath as she continued to walk away.
"I'm not going to do it Luna. It is your responsibility."
"Well then I guess there will be no moon or stars then...it doesn't matter though no one is awake to see them...no one will miss them...or..."
She trailed off when she spotted a knife that was used to cut a cake a few days ago. Shinny, sharp...covered in a bit of cake, but that never mattered. She walked over to the cake with the inscription 'Happy birthday Luna. We love you' on the top written in blue and decorated with moons. She looked at the cake and the words for a moment, then picked up the knife and wiped off the icing and crumbs covering it. Once more she paused. A tear filled her eye as she stared at the knife, then at the mirror behind it.
"Sorry"
