//------------------------------// // Page 9 // Story: Celestial Bodies // by Shadowbane //------------------------------// Feeling more adventurous than normal, you decide to try the Princess that betrayed Equestria at one time - a dangerous choice, really, for Luna is odd and more hot-tempered than her sister. If you don't try, though, you are doomed to fail. You walk through the hallway stealthily, trying not to invoke the wrath of any guard who might still hear you. You can't back out now - it's getting darker outside, and the security will no doubt only get tighter. A few minutes later, past windows and pictures and all sorts of decorations and new paint on the wall, you're standing at the finely-decorated maple door of Princess Luna's room. Taking a gulp, you push open the door slowly... and see the purple alicorn with blue hair, Princess Luna, staring into a mirror on the ground at the opposite end of the room, with a bit of a sad expression on her face. After taking a gander at the curve of her flank, both sides emblazoned by a black-clouded white crescent moon, you begin to feel bad for the smaller of the two alicorn sisters. Feeling a little out of place now, you cleared your throat loudly. Gasping, the princess of the moon turns to face you, her bright blue eyes not mad, but questioning. What will you say? I'll tell Princess Luna that I need some love. It'll sound odd, considering the circumstances, but lying to this poor pony doesn't seem like a nice option. She's already in an emotionally-distressed state - I'll lie and tell her that I came to tell her that I'm one of her greatest fans. Lying might be mean, but if it meant her getting better, I don't care.
