Chapter 3
For a week after the noble incident Luna stayed locked in her room, and Celestia had to raise the moon for her. Celestia would come by in the mornings with food for the two, and would stay with them until lunch where she would leave to do some paper work. Celestia had no plans in re-opening either of the courts for a long time, but she still had other work that was required when you were running a country. Celestia would often return for dinner and then would stay with them until they fell asleep. Celestia knew her sister needed all the support she could get, but she also knew it was up to her sister on whether she would fully recover or not.
As weeks passed Luna slowly re-integrated herself with the rest of the castle. Celestia was happy that her sister was recovering, but she had not been expecting the talk she found herself and her sister in roughly a month later.
Luna and Celestia were seated at their normal positions in the royal dining room. The two were enjoying small talk over breakfast, while Luna tended to her son. The two had been surprised by how much the child had grown in a month. Jack had also started standing and was capable of walking without support for a short time. He had also started using simple words to express his needs. Words like "Fud" and "momma" and "wata" were used quite often.
At some point in their conversation, Luna seemed to have trailed off. Enquiring into her sisters silence, Celestia received a shocking answer.
"I think I want to step down from being a princess" Luna's eyes showed a tiredness Celestia had not seen on her sisters face at all. "I simply cannot rule at this time, besides my son needs me." explained Luna further.
Celestia closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "if that is what you wish then I will always support you, lulu." Celestia knew she could not force her sister to rule, especially not now as she had a child to take care of. Even though Celestia was saddened to hear that Luna was hurting so much; she also knew that this might help her sister recover.
Opening her eyes Celestia saw her sisters face was a mix of relief and confusion. Celestia could not fully stop herself from chuckling at her sister.
"Do you think so little of me that I would force you to stay as a princess dear Lulu?" Teased Celestia, as she placed a foreleg over her eyes and turned her head.
Luna tried to keep her face straight.
"HA!" Luna blushed as a guffaw passed her lips.
Silence
And then the entire room was filled with the melodious giggles of Celestia and Luna. With a giggling Jack joining in simply because it seemed fun. Jacks giggle's only set off the princesses more. In the papers the next day it was said that the laughing could be heard for roughly an hour. It suffice to say that the three had been quite winded afterwards, opting to instead spend quality family time to pass the day away.

Nice short and sweet chapter! Loved it
7660918 Jeza, I wasnt expecting anyone to read it that fast! Thanks anyway!
7660925 Sure thing dude!
7660941 Next chapter will be 5k or more. Promise.
Its all about quality over quantity. Liking the story, can't wait for more!
I like this story. Waiting for the next chapter.
Man, I still love this story. A very new perspective I do believe. Great work Mate!! Can't wait for the next chapter in this tale!
7661361 thanks!
I wish I knew who the three downvoters were. I kinda wanna ask what was wrong. If they just didn't like the story or if there were some errors or something.

I wouldn't worry about it. Already 96 people have pivoted this story! You're doing great!! But I do see what you mean. Good luck with the next chapter!
Not sure where you're going to go with the plot (unless you do huge time-skips), but it's a cute slice of life. I'd read more.
7664309 yes I was trying to imply that they have no power because they are only nobles. Sorry if it isn't all that clear.
7664313 yes but this is happy go lucky equestria not the British colonies. :P I see what you mean but Celestia "loves" her ponies also this isn't the beginning of equestria so the country is very stable. Also it's only like 20-30 nobles really. I kinda overplayed how many there were.
Also Luna reacted in the way she did because she isn't a very social person, she's rather socially awkward and prefers to let her sister handle relations. Thus she doesn't really understand that the nobles that were in the room are a very small percentage of her subjects and that they do not represent how the entirety feels about her. But don't worry this is just a setup for the rest of this book. It really just shapes the characters and gives some reason behind what is to come.
nice, really nice, an interessting change which I thought would never happen.
oh okay so something quick to get you back into writing again?, seems alright if you say it like this.
I nearly said something about the short chapter, but that is a good explanation....I wouldn't force you anyway, longer chapters just look better.
7665216 well thanks! I appreciate your feed back.
7661361 I was just scrolling through my comments trying to get back in the mood to write, and I saw your comment and I just have to say that I really REALLY appeciate your comment.
Not that I dont appreciate everyones support but Im just glad that you think my story is worth reading because its unique. I know a lot of my readers are people who are into hie's and royalty adopt humans type stories (and there is nothing wrong with that, I appreciate them all the same.) but to hear that some of my readers like my story because its different, it just really made me feel good.
So thanks,
(btw I'm working on this story as much as I can, but I'm one of those writers who cannot write unless im in a certain mood, otherwise it becomes really forced and you can tell.)

I understand what you mean, I'm am the same way. I'm going to start writing my own story once I get a laptop. I still think this is one of the best stories I've ever read one this site. I mean it doesn't swear and I appreciate that. And it's not preachy which also would annoy me. You are doing great! And 103 upvotes! You really deserve it!!
7698056 Well thats going a little far, but i appreciate it! If you want a truly great story, go look up "Misunderstanding" Its an HIE but its really good. It basically started the "Realistic HIE" movement.
Good and enjoyable story. I'll wait and see where you'll take us.
7778333 I will neither confirm or deny that idea.
