"Celly!"
The voice that rang out from Luna's bedroom was young and frightened. The sun had gone down hours before, and Celestia had the hardest time putting her younger sister to bed. Luna was terrified of the night time, and wanted to stay up later with Celestia and their parents. But despite being frightened she couldn't bring herself to stay awake, and Celestia had found Luna slumped over a chair, fast asleep.
Entering the younger's bedroom, Celestia found Luna sitting next to her Starswirl the Bearded nightlight, wide awake. Starswirl was an up and coming prodigy in the field of magic, and despite his comparatively young age had already broken barriers and won several groundbreaking awards. His merchandise was everywhere, and Starswirl nightlights were just a small piece of many desperate attempts to cash in on his popularity.
"Luna, Luna what's wrong?" Celestia asked, scanning the room for any sign of trouble. Moonlight filtered in through the window, but there weren't any scary shadows on the walls thanks to the height of the bedroom in the castle. All the trees were far down below.
"I scared," Luna said, and Celestia came to sit down next to her.
"Scared of what?" She asked. "There's nothing up here that can hurt you, Lulu," she said. "The only ones in the castle are me, mom and dad, you, Discord, and all the monsters who try to eat little unicorns."
"What?!" Luna's eyes widened.
Celestia laughed. "I'm just teasing, Luna. There's no such thing as monsters, you should know that."
"What about da Timberwools?" Luna asked.
"Well-"
"An' hydra?"
"They don't-"
"An' the Cebberus?"
"That's enough!" Celestia said. "Yes there are a lot of nasty animals out there, but they're not allowed on castle grounds, you know that. Nothing out there can get you in here, they'd have to get past mom and dad. And if they got past mom and dad, they'd have to get past me. And you know what I say about that."
"Nothin' gets past Celly!" Luna said, and Celestia pounced Luna, proceeding to tickle her relentlessly.
"Too bad for you, perhaps you could've been saved from the tickle monster!"
Luna squirmed and laughed, trying desperately to escape her older sister, but failed miserably. When Celestia had finished, she sent Luna to bed, and cracked the door open. "Now you settle down, and if you're good I'll make your favorite waffles in the morning," she promised.
"Okay," Luna smiled and yawned.
Celestia shook her head in wonder, and left Luna's bedroom silently. She had only gone a little ways down the hallway when one of the doors cracked open, and the young draconequus whom their parents were allowing to stay for a while emerged from one of the guest bedrooms. He looked up at her with bright shining eyes, a crooked smile on his face.
"What's the matter, Discord?" Celestia asked.
"I can't sleep," Discord said.
"That seems to be going around," she said. "Now can I help you before I wake mom and dad up before we all get in trouble?"
"Well, there is one thing you could do for me," Discord asked, rocking slowly back and forth.
"Yes?"
Discord just smiled. "Could you get me a glass of water?"
There is a word missing here.
That last line, I see what you did there.
This is so adorable. I think I am getting diabetes. That last part has nothing to do with the story, I just thought someone should know.
KBO.

I can get you a glass of water, but anything else will be chucked in the cave of wonders where if you try to go in you'll get eaten.
