Celestia's Care Taker

Epilogue

At Canterlot, the usual goes on as Celestia rules the kingdom once more. With everything fine and dandy, it seems that all is well and normal. Two guards standing near Luna’s quarters say otherwise.

“So, that was a crazy couple of days, huh?” The bat pony remarks.

“You mean how when Princess Celestia totally disappeared out of thin air, Princess Luna had to move the sun and moon by herself?”

“Yep. Man, she was having a hard time not seeing her sister for a while.” He recalled. “She would be in here crying half the night, wondering if this was her turn to be Princess Celestia for a while.”

“Oh, so she thought this was some cruel joke or something?” The second one thought.

“Maybe. I do know she kept questioning Discord for the past few days. She even asked for his help.”

“Really?” The guard chuckled. “Did he actually lend a hoof?”

“Several.” He says sarcastically. “But yeah, even with his help, Discord had no idea what was going on. Princess Luna kept thinking it was some bad dream. Handling Equestria alone didn’t help either.”

“Wow. That sounds like Princess Luna was having her very own Tartarus.”

“Yep. Now that Princess Celestia is back, things have changed… a lot.”

“Really?” The stallion spoke in wonder, raising an eyebrow. “How so?”

“Princess Celestia keeps talking to her sister… like, more than usual. Princess Luna is glad to see her back, but she tends to get tuckered out by the end of the day.”

“What… happened to Princess Celestia those past couple of days?”

“She keeps talking about how this alien world of wonder kept her from going back to Eqeustria. Then she was taken in by this alien and together they spent subtle days together in harmony.”

“Wow… Sounds casual.” He thought.

“Yeah, well, there’s more to it, but I didn’t stick around to listen.” He sighed. “Freaking almost got late for work.”

“I wonder if she misses that world.” He thought.

“She probably does, seeing how she keeps talking about it.” The bat pony claimed. “But other than that, Princess Celestia is like, super close to Princess Luna. Like, buddy, buddy close. It’s quite frightening.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I see her go to her room tired, but when I listen close, Princess Luna really appreciates her sister now.”

“Isn’t spying wrong?” He questioned.

“I was just worried! You know? Because now that things are different, I just needed to make sure every pony was okay!”

He rolled his eyes and said, “If you say so.”

Just as they finished talking, Princess Celestia came forth. They made sure to look extra masculine to ensure the princess that they could be counted on. When Princess Celestia knocks on the door, Princess Luna answers.

“What is it, dear sister?” Princess Luna asked.

“Are you ready for that picnic we planned?” Princess Celestia asked.

“Of course.” She nods. “Please calm yourself a bit more this time.”

“Sorry.” She apologized. “But ever since my trip to the human world, I now have a new appreciation for everything. Especially you, Luna.”

The alicorn smiles and replies. “Well, I’m glad you had the experience.”

As the two left, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia flew to the destination in mind. During the flight, Princess Luna had something in her mind.

“Celestia…” She speaks. “About this… human world… It sounds vaguely familiar the more you mention it. Especially of this… Alex character.”

“You two would get along so well.” She simply tells her.

“I… believe that too.” She agreed.

Someday, I hope the three of us can see each other again…
