IV.

IV.

Luna yawned again as she trotted down the hallway towards the second tower of Canterlot castle. The tallest tower is home to celestia's quarters. The Younger sibling rising the steps towards the bed chamber. Her muscles ached and screamed at her to stop moving so much. But she needed to see this through.

The night princess would rise the final step and see the two solar guards standing attentively beside a large oaken door. The guards see the princess and click their hooves together in attention.

"Good morning guards, has my sister left her chambers yet?"

The guard on the left side, Golden Light, would answer Luna.

"No, your highness, she’s still inside."

Luna nods and stifles another yawn as she flexes her wings. Luna approaches the door.

"Thank you, Golden. I'm gonna head inside. Greet her for the dawn."

The guards nodding in sync and returning to their natural stances beside the door. Luna ever so gently prodded the door with her magic. The door opened to reveal the dark room of the solar princess. The room gives a soft chill in the air.

Luna stepped in as she kept her eyes towards the Veiled bed at the other end of the room. Luna wasn't sure if her embracing her sister had woken her from her sleep. But Luna didn't want to chance it.

The blue alicorn's hooves would gently glide across the carpet of the bedroom. Passing over the rug at the entrance, the soft lounging cushion near the giant fireplace and then the foot of the wooden framed bed.

Luna closed her eyes and flicked her ears around towards the bed, Listening for anything. She would hear soft breaths through the veil. The moon from outside was still shining through the glass doors towards Celestia's balcony. Giving a silhouette of the alicorn sleeping behind the beds curtains as Luna opened her eyes again.

Luna's silver slipper would gently slide the curtain aside to look inside the beds center.

The older sister was curled up under a thick blanket, facing away from Luna, her mane spiraled out all over her pillows and the sheets in a colorful waterfall. The soft rise and fall of her shoulders would give the impression she was still slumbering.

Luna wanted to climb into her sister’s bed and press herself against her. The emotional relief of seeing her sister finally resting, truly letting the weight that was lifted from her during the night was magnetizing.

The younger alicorn hesitated as her hoof gently touched the bed and thought better of it. She smiled to herself and gently backed away from the veil. Luna wanted to let her sister keep sleeping, if anything. She could raise the sun for her if need be.

Luna ever so quietly began to float through her sisters chambers on her hooves. But just before she crossed the midway point of the room.

"...Lulu."

Luna halted in mid trot. Her heart almost skipped a beat as she heard the voice coming from behind her.

Luna gently craned her head to look behind her. The silhouette of her sister has not changed.

"Come back. I heard you come in."

Luna would quickly hoof, turn and return to the veiled bed, pushing her face back into the curtain. Luna would see her sister now rolled on her other side, her magenta eyes softly lit from the surrounding light staring right at her. The elder alicorn had a soft smile on her lips and her eyes gently curving from her cheeks.

"S-sorry if i woke you sister. I wanted to-"

Celestia would gently grasp her sister in her golden magic and gently pull her into bed. The blue alicorn curled her legs so her sister wouldn't struggle to put her in bed beside her. Luna couldn't contain it anymore and pressed herself into her sister’s chest. The fluffy fur filled her vision.

"I'm so happy to see you sister."

The younger sibling burying herself into her older sister. Feeling the warmth of her body and feathers surrounding her.

"...Thank you, Luna. So so much"

Celestia would be doing her best to not start shedding tears over her sister’s mane. The Alicorn kept her muzzle pressed into her sister’s star-filled mane.

Luna would peer up at her sister as their hooves wrapped around each other.

"Just paying back for all those years of protection my sister~"

Luna coyly smiles up at Celestia. The room was not feeling so cold as the sisters' warmth was being shared together in the ornate bed.

Celestia would only softly hum in love to her little sister.

"You didn't owe me anything Lulu. It was my duty to protect you and love you. Even now.."

Celestia’s wings would flex around Luna's shoulders.

"...I plan to do that until the end of time. I did promise after all~"

The elder alicorn gave a soft chuckle from her chest.

"I guess we are both blessed to be together again. You have your student to thank for that I'm sure. Twilight brought me back with your plan."

Luna smiled and eagerly gave her sister a nuzzle in the crook of her neck.

"You sure know how to pick them Tia~"

The sisters craned their necks to touch their muzzles together. Both siblings breathed a deep sigh as they enjoyed the presence of one another. The banishment is now a distant memory leaving their minds. Only a small bump in the road now that both sister's guilt was confronted.

"We...owe her everything for this Luna. She brought you back to me. And she helped you realize your own guilt was also hurting you."

Luna smiled somberly as she remembered the night the tantabus left her dreams. A secret that was meant to be secret forever. But now, the demon she made now a part of her as much as she liked to admit. Her shadow was still her and an important part she needed to nurse back to health.

"She did. Our little Twilight. I hope she will be alright without us. I hate to leave such a weight of a nation on her so soon."

Celestia smiled.

"She has her friends, just like we had each other during our time. Everything will be just fine i think. She's a strong little mare."

Luna scoffs "She's not so little any more sister~"

The sisters share a love filled laugh together, reminiscing about how after all these years. Everything turned out alright in the end. Thanks to a little sheltered lavender mare who brought the celestial sisters together again.

Celestia would suddenly gasp. "L-luna? wait...what time is it?

Luna would smirk "Waaaay passed your rising time~"

Celestia would sit up and snort from her muzzle. "T-the sun! i have to-"

Luna would grasp her sister "Calm Tia~ We can use our magic from bed. Our bond to our respective celestial bodies doesn't have to be seen to move them."

The midnight blue alicorn comforting her elder sister in her wings, to keep her from freaking out about being off schedule.

"I...You're right Luna. Sorry, you know how I am about my schedule."

Celestia showing a soft pink hue on her cheeks. Luna smirking

"Oh we know~ Gotta to be pretty and punctual all year round~ But when it’s after an important night, I'd expect you to take a little time for yourself. ~"

The sisters smiled and embraced each other again. Their horns lighting up as the moon light would slowly soften and change to an orange golden glow. The morning sun rises to replace the light entering the bedroom.

"I suppose we could have a quick sisterly nap together. Like the old days~"

Celestia smiled as she pressed her sister against her chest again.

"We do miss those days, but doesn't mean we can't do it again as grown mares~"

The sisters smiled and closed their eyes. Both of them fall into slumber in each other’s hooves in the sun princess’s bed. The rising sun over Equestria brings a new day and a new start for its Citizens. The two sisters who have watched over it since its beginning now stand in solidarity in each other’s embrace.
