	"Tia, I am going to go out on the balcony for a little while." Luna said to her sister, who was sitting on a chair across the room from Luna.
"Ok" Came the simple reply from Celestia.
Luna stood up then walked over to the large door on the side of her room. Using her magic she opened the door and walked outside. Her balcony was simple, it was a good sized semi-circle, with two chairs, and an impressive telescope. Luna walked to the telescope and peered in looking up at the stars. 
After a few minutes of star gazing Luna stepped back from the telescope. She then walked back into her room. "The stars are beautiful tonight sister." She said looking around the room for her older sibling. "Sister, where are you?" I know she was in here when I went out. “Sister?” Luna asked while walking farther into the room. when she entered the next room, she noticed a small box in the center of the floor on top of her circle rug depicting the moon cycle.
Curious, Luna walked over to the box. Standing over it she looked down and noticed a small note on the top of the box. Using her magic Luna unfolded the note then lifted it ip in front of her face to read the fancy writing.

	Dear Sister
Happy birthday! I have been waiting all day for a time when you would not be standing right by me, so that I could give you your gift. I know that you are often lonely during your night watch. 


A small bark interrupted Luna’s reading. She looked over at the box, then went back to reading the letter.


		So I am going to give you a companion that has no need of sleep. I will not tell you what she is, only that she is not what she seems. Also you will need to teach her how to talk and use magic. She can talk but she only speaks Latin, and has only learned the basics of how to speak Latin.
Your loving sister
Celestia  

P.S. She has not been named yet but she seems to like the name Inari.
P.P.S. She may be a hoof ful so be careful.
P.P.P.S Do not under any circumstances take her pearl from her. that pearl not only holds almost all of her magic, but it also contains part of her soul. If she isn't near it for to long she will die.

Another bark, and then the box fell on its side. Luna put the letter down and reached over with her magic to open the box. As soon as the lid opened, a small white fox jumped out at Luna. She stepped back in surprise. "gah!" Luna exclaimed. "Tia was right you are going to be a hoof ful."
