After three hours of determination, she felt confidence in herself. Tucking back into bed, late in the night, starting to drift into her dreamless state of mind. Awaking several hours later to a chirping bell, signaling break-fest was being served. Luna approached the mirror and smiled, showing herself confidence. She took her time down the stiars to the mess hall. As she entered, Luna drank some orange juice as she approached her sister. Putting the glass down, and stood over Celestia, waiting for her to say something.
“Yes sister?” She said, eating flapjacks from her plate. Luna nuzzled her and threw a hug around her.
“Thank you for letting me go to Ponyvile, sister!” Luna exclaimed. Celestia patted her sister on the head.
“No problem. Whatever makes you happy my dear sister.” Celestia said, finishing her flapjacks. Luna walked back to her room, levitating a apple behind, before eating it up the staircase. She grabbed her bags and put on her crown, for her royal appearance today. A louder bell rung, alerting Luna to make her way to the pegasi carriage. Eager with anticipation, she walked as fast as she could to her ride. She noted two male pegasi.
“Having a good day, Princess?” one asked.
“Yes. A very good day. To Ponyvile please!” Luna said with a smile. The two pegasus’ nodded at each other and started to fly to Ponyvile.
As Luna and her carriage came over a huge hill, she saw the small town of Ponyvile. But looking very festive, with balloons and a bunch of ponies awaiting for her arrival. It had been at least a few months since a princess has visted this town.
The carriage landed and a swarm of ponies went around it, looking at Luna. Shocked from all the attention that she didn’t expect, a pink pony was jumping over the crowd to her. A mess of ponies popped out in front and took pictures of her for the newspaper. The pink pony approached Luna, eager to talk to her.
“Princess! You made it safe! Welcome to Ponyvile. Your probably wondering why there’s such a big crowd. You’ve never visted us before, and you seem to never come into public, often, so, we’re throwing a Welcome to Ponyvile party for you! Oh, and I’m Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter!” the pony said, hardly breathing at all during the little speech.
“Thank you Pinkie Pie. I’d just like to get settled in more before I actually attend this party.” Luna said, walking off the carriage, directing her attention to her gaurds. “Alright, thank you for the trip. You can go now.”
“Are you sure you don’t need us here?” the left pegasus asked, raising a brow.
“Yes. I’ll be fine of my own, if I need you, I’ll send a letter” Luna said in response. The two pegasi flew off and the crowd of ponies seemed to have scattered off to enjoy their party at Sugercube Corner. Luna sighed and she looked around at her surroundings and down at her bags.
“Is something wrong princess? Did you not like the welcoming?” Pinkie Pie said with a frown.
“Nothing’s wrong. Just not used to the royalty surroundings of Canterlot. I should probably find a place to stay.. Did you set up anywhere or must I seek it out myself?” Luna said.
“I don’t know you silly pony. I thought you knew what you were doing while you were down here. You best talk to Twilight Sparkle. She stays at the library, and you can’t miss her, she’s purple! Kind of like you, but not really, if that makes sense!” Pinkie said.
“Where is the library located at?” Luna asked, looked at multiple roads.
“That road right there, right over.... THERE!” Pinkie pointed a hoof down the western road. “It should be a giant tree, you can’t miss it. Well, I got to go bake some goods for a sale later. See ya!” and she darted off. Luna started to walk down the appointed road that she had said, trailing her bag behind her with her magic. After a few minutes of walking, she saw a giant tree, marked ‘Library.’ Knocking on the door, it opened up to a small purple dragon.
“P-Princess Luna? Is it really you? Please come in!” he said, dragging her in. Taking in the surroundings, looking at the detail, she saw so many books around her.
Luna heard loud trotting from outside, coming closer to the door. She turned around to see who the next unexpected guest would be today. The door opened slowly to revel a purple pony, with saddle bags on her back.
“Princess Luna! Glad you made it, I’ve heard so much from Celestia!” the purple pony said, bowing.
“Rise, no need to bow or call me princess. You can just call me Luna, and you are?” Luna asked.
“Well, I’m Twilight Sparkle,” she said, and pointed at the dragon, “and that’s Spike, my assistant. Nice to have you here, you can unpack upstairs. I made a spare bed up there for you.”
This, was what Luna wanted. To meet Twilight Sparkle, but didn’t count on meeting a dragon. But, it was getting late, and Luna wanted to get some rest from the crazy day she had just had. After unpacking and settling into bed, Twilight came to join her.
“If you need anything, just ask Luna. I’ll see ya in the morning” Twilight whispered before getting into her own bed. Luna didn’t expect to get this much respect, even from Twilight. But Luna didn’t want to question and bother her, so she got settled and turned off her lamp, falling to a deep sleep.
