	The next day…

Celestia, who was in need of some royal espresso, dragged her tired body into the kitchen and over to the coffee machine. She hit the espresso button, maybe a little too hard for the machine fell over.

You can guess the rest…

Later she was back in hospital.

Then finally she left.

Celestia, who was in need of some royal espresso, dragged her tired body into the kitchen and over to the coffee machine. She hit the espresso button, maybe a little too hard for the machine fell over.

The cycle continued, until one day…

Celestia, who was in need of some royal espresso, dragged her tired body into the kitchen and over to the coffee machine. She hit the espresso button, maybe a little too hard for the machine fell over.

Luna grabbed the machine, put it the correct way up and held her sister tightly.

“A cycles spell. Faust’s work.” Luna quickly undid Faust’s ‘cycle spell’, and Celestia shivered.

“Whew…I could MURDER Faust!” Celestia screamed, tearing at her hair. Unfortunately, Luna hadn’t deleted the spell entirely, and Celestia hit her horn.

“Oops!” giggled Luna, undoing the rest of the spell. Celestia looked at her sister.

“Thanks, Luna. Maybe it’s your turn to have some royal espresso.” Celestia laughed, and Luna joined in.
They lived almost happily ever after (Every three years they had to put up with Faust until Luna deleted part of Faust’s memory. After that they lived happily ever after!).
