Chapter 2.

A few moments later Opal was clean, yet dripping with once warm water. Now however, the cat hissed at her in distaste.

"Oh Opal, I know it's uncomfortable, but once we clean you up, I'm sure you'll feel just like a Princess." Fluttershy tried to cheer the grumpy cat up kindly; but if had not effect...or if it did, Opal wasn't letting her in on it. Fluttershy picked up the cat and sat her on to the top of the cupboard.

"Now Opal, stay still while I dry you." She remarked quietly as she turned the hairdryer on and started to dry Opal. Minutes passed and soon Opal was purring again. Fluttershy then proceeded to gently brush the cat until her fur shone.

"See Opal? Isn't that better?" She asked the cat sweetly and brought her back to Rarity.

"Here you go Rarity, she's all cleaned up." Fluttershy mentioned pleasantly as she passed the cat back to Rarity, and the cat whined.

"Seems like she wants to be left with you...ha...ha." Rarity joked awkwardly; but inside she felt disappointed and Fluttershy picked up on this at once.

"Oh no, she knows that you truly care for her...right Opal?" Fluttershy questioned in her peaceful sigh and with an annoyed grunt the cat complied by nestling into Rarity.

"Oh Fluttershy look! She does like me!" Rarity cried in delight and used her magic to levitate the cat into the air to hug her; earning a displeased glare from the cat.

"See? What did I tell you, she loves you." Fluttershy explained blissfully and Rarity squealed with happiness.

"GIRLS!" Twilight screamed as she teleported herself in using her magic.

"Heavens, what's the matter Twilight?" Fluttershy inquired, scared.

"No time to explain! Get to the castle!" Twilight snapped and teleported back out.

"Let's go!" Rarity yelled as she cantered out, and Fluttershy quickly went after her; but stopped when she had a sudden thought.

"Angel Bunny!" She called and her spoilt cream-coloured bunny came stomping out.

"Look after Opal for me alright?" She commanded sweetly and bolted through the door after Rarity


"Twilight! What in the hay was so urgent?" Applejack asked as she raced into the castle.

"Yeah Twi what's the problem?" Rainbow Dash questioned, flexing her wings impressively.


Fluttershy and Rarity rushed in, breathing heavily.

"Darling, what's the issue?" Rarity inquired, downbeat and Fluttershy just looked around, concern clouding her features.

Pinkie Pie bounced in cheerfully.

"Hello!" She beamed, but it faded when she realised the seriousness of the situation.


"Listen up girls. I have a letter from Princess Celestia." Twilight took charge and everypony listened carefully.

"Dear Twilight, I need you and your friends in Canterlot at once. My sister - Princess Luna - needs your assistance hurriedly. Please come as soon as you can. ~ Princess Celestia." She read aloud and the tension in the room tightened.

"I wonder what has happened." Fluttershy whispered, her big blue eyes sparkling with emotion.

"Well we need t'go now! Princess Luna needs us!" Applejack said forcefully, rearing and Twilight nodded, agreeing with her.

"Come on girls - lets go!" Twilight started to canter out of the room and everyone followed.


An hour later they were on the train heading for Canterlot, and the train chugged off, starting it's journey.

"I really hope Princess Luna and Princess Celestia are okay." Fluttershy whimpered softly, concerned.

"I'm sure she's OK, sugarcube." Applejack tried to console her gently; but it only worked slightly.


Fluttershy trotted away and sat down by herself, staring out of the clean window; confusing the others. She let a quiet, stressed sigh slip from her mouth as she worried about the Princess of the Night. But she couldn't stop thinking about Luna; the way her starry cobalt hair shifts in one direction repeatedly, her steel blue -with a hint of sky blue - eyes gleamed as she smiled playfully and how beautiful she looked at night time in the shining light of the translucent moon. But then she shook herself - what in Equestria was she thinking? She knew that she thought Princess Luna looked pretty and all, but she'd never even thought about it until now. What was happening?


/////Canterlot Castle/////

"You WHAT?!" Luna shrieked at Celestia as they were talking in the Royal Gardens, taking a walk together.

"I think Twilight and her friends can help you relax." Celestia argued softly, earning a dubious glare from her younger sister.

"Sister, thou already had to help me with the Tantabus, but to help me again...we do not deserve it." Luna admitted, stopping and staring ashamedley at the water lillies on the pond, which was reflecting the morning sunlight brightly.

"You do deserve it Luna. Needing help is nothing to be afraid of." Celestia counteracted kindly, tilting Luna's face upwards to face her own

"I know that." Luna muttered, and brought her head back out of her older sister's hoof, before going to gaze peacefully at the Dahlias the gardener had planted.

"I'm just worried about you." Celestia stood next to her and closed her eyes, breathing in the sweet scent of the flowers.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" She breathed, re-opening her eyes and viewing the flowers with a joyous look.

"I suppose." Luna mumbled, taking a mild sniff herself and felt comforted.

"Sometimes I come here to think... and to be alone." Celestia murmured gravely, never dropping her gaze on the flowers.

"When does thou do this?" Luna asked sympathetically, for she also goes to her balcony at night for deep thinking.

"When you were gone...it pained me to banish you...knowing I had hurt you, abandoned you. 1000 years. I never forgave myself Luna." Celestia whispered, closing her eyes once again with the agony of the memory.

"Sister you had no other choice. Thou was just protecting the kingdom; doing her duty as a ruler. Thou must not feel bad." Luna responded logically and Celestia glanced at her with a mixture of sympathy, pity and admiration.

"Seeing as we'll have guests over, we should get ready." Luna remarked gravely, changing the subject.

"Right you are sister." Celestia nodded and they made their way back inside the castle to get ready for Twilight and her friends.
