    “Daybreak!” Celestia scolds, pacing in front of me as I ignore her every word. “I know you don't like this situation but you have to do something. My power is going to transfer to you when I ascend regardless of either of our feelings on the matter.” She continues, trying yet another approach at reasoning with me. I blink, but continue to sit stoically on the floor of her study (She teleported us here when I finished crying). 
Celestia sits down with her own huff, and watches me carefully. I stare at nothing so that even if her eyes were the only thing within my vision I still would not be looking directly at them. She let's out a sigh and floats a bowl of oats in front of me using her magic. The smell wafts up to my nose, and I twitch a little whilst attempting not to interact with it at all. 
Somepony bursts through the door behind me, and Celestia looks up at them with a slight smile and tired eyes. With her attention diverted, I risk a sniff of the oats. 
“Luna, I'm glad you're here! Why don't you try talking to her, you have such a way with children.” Celestia says, walking out of my vision. ‘Such a way with children? I am no child! I may be in the body of a filly, and just as new to life on the ground, but I am no child!’ I think to myself, feeling my anger boil to the surface.
“Celestia you know as well as I that treating her as a filly will not help, even if we are elders to her - even by star standards.” A calm, soothing voice replies and I try not to look to see who this Luna is. I know that the last part of her reply was meant towards me, but I let it go.  
I hear some footsteps and the door closes. “She's gone, thou can drop the act now,” The sweeter, more soothing voice says. This ‘Luna’ soon steps into my vision. She's more magnificent than the other one. Her mane had images of stars in her mane and was a beautiful shade of blue. My jaw drops despite my best efforts. 
She chuckles and covers her mouth with her hoof for a few seconds, before sitting down in front of me. “Though is confused on how to proceed, correct?” She asks, and I tilt my head in slight confusion. She sighs, “Even the stars have left the olden tongue behind, very well then.” She appears sad for a moment before refocusing on me. “You are confused, are you not?” She clarifies.
“I am. I do not wish to reside here, yet I have no choice. I know not the first thing about this world, yet I am expected to learn to rule it.” I nudge the bowl of oats with my hoof, lowering my head. “I'm sure that there is another who would be more than grateful for the position, but…” I stop and let out a sigh. I look up at her, and she smiles reassuringly. “I didn't ask for this.” I finish, laying my head in my paws. 
“It can be a lot to take in all at once, but you don't have to rule. Nopony would force you to take up a role you did not wish for.” She replies, nudging the bowl back towards me with her magic. 
“Why don't you just explore the world some, learn what it's like to live with the ground beneath your hooves and the wind beneath your wings. Have fun, make some friends, learn how to live this new life you were given. Then, if your discoveries lead you back to ruling, you can take the throne and rule in my sister’s stead.” Luna suggests thoughtfully. I wonder if that would be possible? Enjoying this world, this life?   
“I'll leave you to mull it over, if you decide that you want to socialize, though, I would suggest talking to Pinky Pie. She's sure to have something enjoyable planned.” She says, standing to leave. I turn and watch as she walks out, before looking at the oats and finally taking a delicious bite. Maybe I will learn to enjoy this world.

“Twilight please calm down,” Celestia says as Twilight paces, pulling book after book from the shelves. 
“Calm down, how can I calm down this is amazing! No, it's horrible, you can't leave you just can't! Then again the possibilities the knowledge, and that poor filly she must miss her home so badly.” Twilight rambles, unable to catch her thoughts. 
“Enough Twilight, get a hold of yourself.” Celestia says, stopping Twilight's pacing and activities with her own magic. “I want you to search for a way to send her home. If she does not wish to stay here then she should not have to. Equestria will be fine with three princesses. Meanwhile I will train her to handle the magic she possesses, should she decide to remain here.” Celestia says, releasing her magic. Twilight nods frantically before taking off to search for the books her research requires. Celestia sighs and closes her eyes, searching her mind for a vision of what might be. Having little luck, she heads off to do her daily duties, hoping that Luna had some success with Daybreak.
