Private Session

by Gleaming

First published

Princess Twilight Sparkle visits the Canterlot Castle to ask Princess Luna an informative question.

Twilight has always wondered about the Night Guard, she feels fascinated to learn more information on them. When Luna is upset after being assigned to the losing team in her favorite game, this could not have been the best time to ask a question.

It's not like this could ruin Luna's night even more, right?

Ponyville's dirt roads and homes were all silent in the dead of night, except for one alicorn princess as she searched through her library in the Castle of Friendship. Aimlessly searching through her bookshelves, Twilight looked down at the pile of books that she left on the floor. ''Searching for a book about the Night Guards is going to be a challenge.''

The Night Guards were nocturnal creatures who protected Princess Luna before and after her banishment, Twilight was always fascinated with learning more about them. She knew one way to get the information she needed, ask questions directly from the source, Princess Luna.

Twilight Sparkle tapped her chin in an intrigued matter, an idea came to her mind, ''Princess Luna wouldn't mind if I came over to ask her a question, I hope it's not a bad time.''

With that being said, Twilight spread her wings and flew across the night sky to the Canterlot Castle.

Two Night Guards stood outside in front of the castle gates to ensure the protection of their lunar leader, holding their spears. Twilight descended from the night sky in which she landed in their view, the guards blocked her path.

''State your business,'' one of the Night Guards demanded.

''I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle, requesting to have a private question session with Princess Luna. If she is too busy at the moment, I completely understand.'' Twilight responded, keeping her gaze at both of the guards.

''Our most sincere apologies, Princess Twilight.'' the Night Guard bowed before the princess, both guards stepped away from Twilight and opened the gate.

''It's no trouble at all, you guys were doing your job.'' Twilight assured them as she walked away from the castle's gates and into the castle.

The former student trotted into the castle with a pep in her step, where one of Luna's top tier Night Guards was waiting for Twilight. ''Ah, Princess Twilight, I've been expecting you.''

They were standing across from each other in a dark room that was well lit by the torches on the wall. Walking beside each other down the dark corridor, Twilight stopped in her tracks once she remembered why she was here.

''I didn't think that you would expect me, but I'd like you to inform Princess Luna about something.'' Twilight requested, rubbing the back of her neck.

''What would you like me to inform her?'' Midnight asked, raising an eyebrow.

''I'd like you to inform her about a question session that I have planned, I'm intrigued to learn more about the Night Guards.'' Twilight rubbed her chin, tapping Midnight's chest plate with her hoof.

''If she won't be able to give you the information you need, I wouldn't mind teaching you about our history.'' Midnight said, touching the Night Guard insignia on her chest plate.

The Night Guard's insignia displayed a slitted-pupil on the front of the chest plate, an insignia that represented the Night Guards as a whole. Whether as a one pony or as one unit, they are always there to help each other and never backing down from any obstacle put in front of them where there is only one common goal: to protect the night.

Reaching the end of the corridor to the hallway where Celestia and Luna's private chambers were across from each other, Twilight knocked on the door. ''Thanks for helping me out, I didn't quite catch your name.''

''The name is Midnight Blossom, before you go in I should tell Luna about your arrival.'' Midnight knocked on the door and Luna's magic opened the door to the private chamber.

She bowed before the Princess of the Night, raising her head back up, ''Sorry to intrude on your gaming, but you have a visitor that wants to speak with you.''

Luna threw her headset down, snorting out smoke from her muzzle. ''My teammates are idiots! There is no point in camping in a corner if you're going to get killed anyway, they must have a death wish!''

Midnight froze in shock, but she at least tried to get the right words out, ''I'll send her in,'' She ran out of the room and screamed at the top of her lungs in horror.

Before Twilight walked into the private chambers, Luna threw an empty can of soda out the window in a fit of rage. Twilight never thought that she would see royalty act like this, especially from Luna, but most ponies think that the princesses enjoy going to Day Court and Night Court having to listen to the complaints from their denizens. Whether pointless or trivial matters, they had to put up with it besides the boring lectures.

''Is this a bad time?'' Twilight asked.

''Not at all, Twilight Sparkle.'' Luna answered, she leaned back in her beanbag chair and sipped out of energy drink.

Twilight stepped into the private chambers, she took out a quill, ink, and a piece of parchment. ''Luna, I was wondering if you could answer my question?''

''What pray tell is your question?'' Luna asked before taking out her opponents, shooting out bullets that penetrated through their bodies which earned her a killstreak.

''I wanted to know about the history of your guard brigade, the Night Guards.'' Twilight confirmed, she glanced over at the game that Luna was playing.


''I'll tell you about the history of the Night Guards.'' Luna pressed the pause button on her controller.

''Before my banishment, there was a royal decree that Celestia and I would have our own brigade of guards that protect us. The difference between the Royal Guards and Night Guards are, Royal Guards are active in the daytime where they can save their strength and sleep at night for the Night Guards it is quite the opposite,'' Luna continued, ''Sometimes I question my sister's methods of training her guards.''

Twilight wrote down every fact that she could gather, she dipped her quill in the ink and dropped the quill on the parchment. ''That answers my question, Luna. Thank you so much, but what training method does Princess Celestia give the Royal Guards?''

Luna thought of the most accurate answer she could conjure up, she turned her attention to Twilight and said, ''My sister's method was always attaching a piece of cake to a fishing line as a trick for her guards to actually do their training, most of them are very lazy. So, there you have it.'' the lunar princess resumed her video game, while Twilight was packing her note taking resources.

''Thanks again, Luna. See you tomorrow!'' Twilight exclaimed, flying out of the private chambers.

''Oh... I almost forgot to tell her that most Night Guards tend to sleep in underground barracks. She'll figure it out on her own.'' Luna shrugged and resumed her game again.

''Silly little filly, you dare try to knife me?'' Luna's yelling echoed off the walls, closing her door with her magic.

She crossed her hind legs, rotated her analog sticks, and knifed the adversary on the opposite team for the final kill. ''The victory has been doubled!''

The End
