Mid week madness
Our story takes place in the once quiet town of Ponyville, a town that has recently earned its place on the map. Living in said town of Ponyville we have six mares, out of those six we have one who is a Princess, Princess Twilight Sparkle. Like most stories this story starts of at the start... Cheesy intro HOOOO!!!!
"Spike! Get those books ready to ship out to Manehatten! Hurry, its not like we have all day!" Twilight shouted as she flew around her castle with a checklist hoovering close to her. Every now and then Twilight would pause in mid flight and check the nearby area, mark something off on her checklist and then return to flying around frantically. "Spike, have we received any news from Canterlot about the text books arriving?"
"I-I think the letter is in the hall!" A small purple dragon shouted from below, the dragon was balancing a large amount of books which swayed from side to side. "And I have the last of those books!" The baby dragon placed the books carefully on the grounds and nearly collapsed from exhaustion. "Twilight can I take a break? Surely we could use some of the staff..."
"Do you not think I have done that? Most of them have already done too much and are asking for overtime pay!" Twilight called out as she picked up the books with her magic and skimmed over the titles of each book. "Alright that is the last of them." Twilight calmly said as she landed next to the dragon. "Thanks again Spike. I'm so lucky to have such a useful assistant."
"That's useful number one assistant!" Spike happily replied. "And besides what kind of assistant would I be if I didn't help? Not a good one." Spike laughed and rubbed one of his scaly arms. "I think I might go have a bath, my arms are a bit sore." And with that Spike got up and headed towards the large shower and bath room the castle had.
"Remember to have a shower before you get in the bath! We have no cleaners to clean the grease or scales at the moment!" Twilight shouted out as she herself started to relax. Twilight made her way into the large main room of the castle through a long hallway. Paintings, flowers, tapestries and various other decorations made the hallway pleasant to the eye. Twilight reached the halfway point and glanced over to a nearby table with a neatly seal letter resting on top of it. "Guess this is the letter then." Twilight picked up letter with her magic and opened it.

Twilight sighed happily as she placed the letter down, it was good to know Pennypincher wasn't being as tight with his wallet. Twilight continued through the long halls and ended up in a large room with several sofas positioned around a fireplace on one side. Twilight sat down and glanced out one of the stained glass windows into the slightly colored world outside. It was a nice day in Ponyville, no rain scheduled until the weekend. Twilight lost herself in though for a minute, she was dragged back into reality when one of the maids got her attention.
"Ahem, Princess?"
"Oh! Yes, what it is?" Twilight replied politely.
"Miss Rarity and Miss Dash have shown up. Do you want me to show them in?"
"Yes please!" Twilight happily replied.
"Of course Princess! I will go get them now."
The maid hastily left leaving Twilight alone in the large room. Twilight magically sparked the fire to life and the room started to warm up. Twilight relaxed and began to feel the stress of the day melt away. Twilight remained alone for a few minutes until the maid brought Rarity and Rainbow Dash into the main room. "Hello Rarity, Rainbow. How are you all today?" Twilight happily asked as her two friends sat down in the main room.
"Awesome, as always." Rainbow cockily said. "Finished clearing the skies super early so I though I would pop down and say hi." Rainbow stretched her legs out and sighed. Rarity gently sat back and relaxed.
"Today has been rather stressful for me, large orders to fill in such a short time. I feel like I have ages five years!" Rarity laughed heartily. "It might be a good time to teach Sweetie Bella the fine art of working a sowing machine. If I can find one that won't burst into flames that is..."
"Well if either of you two want to take a dip in the royal thermal baths, feel free to after Spike has come out. If he has made a mess just tell me and I will get somepony or dragon on it." Twilight informed her guests. The trio fell into silence save the odd happy sigh. After a few minutes Twilight started playing with the fire, making it take shapes and dance around. One moment it would be two ponies doing a ballroom dance and the next it would be three ponies throwing something to and fro. Spike came into the main room with a towel over his shoulders, it became evident that he had seen the guests and taken time to prepare his entrance.
"Ladies..." Spike started as he walked into the large room and took a seat next to Twilight. "The bath is free and clean, before you ask Twilight." Spike smiled cockily and relaxed. "Those warm baths really hit the spot. A lot more then you would think, you should try it sometime Twilight."
"Hey Twilight, do you mind if I use them?" Rainbow Dash asked. Twilight looked at Rainbow with a slightly shocked expression. "Cause, I'm kinda sore. I think it might help."
"My, my! Rainbow Dash taking a thermal bath! I had no idea such a thing was possible!" Rarity joked.
"Its fine by me, do you know where they are?" Twilight replied to Rainbow.
"Uh... I don't think so." Rainbow said in return.
"Spike, would you kindly show Rainbow the thermal baths?" Twilight smiled nonchalantly at Spike who nodded his head and took Rainbow Dash out of the large room. Twilight and Rarity were left in the large room alone, they were sat a large distance apart. Twilight teleported herself next to Rarity and chuckled when Rarity gasped. "So Rarity, what have you been up to the past few days? I have been busy in the castle so I haven't really had a chance to get out recently." Twilight asked trying to prevent a silence appearing.
"I just had a huge order of outfits for the comic convention in Manehatten. Never agree to make latex outfits Twilight, it is horrible to work with." Rarity stated. "I was only just able to finish the order today!" Rarity shook her head and stretched. "Its taken me the better half of this week."
"I have basically been at war with the CLA. They have been avoiding supplying Ponyville with new textbooks for years! I finally decided to take action." Twilight sighed. "In the end we ended up losing a few books to a school in Manehatten but we gained the textbooks we needed." Twilight smiled. "I can't imagine it would be any worse then what you have had to do this week."
"I don't know Twilight, I have had to deal with Canterlot nobles before. They can be rather... Unreasonable at times" Rarity said causing Twilight to perk up slightly. "If you ever need a break from it all I am only down the street. You are welcome anytime Twilight."
"Thanks Rarity, while I like to think that most of our hardships have been and gone. Nothing we have faced has come close to the Equestrian legal system. So many nobles abusing loop holes." Twilight shook her head and closed her eyes. "I'm just glad I have friends to turn to, I don't know what I would do without you all."
The rest of the day passed quickly for Twilight, she spent the time she was alone with Rarity talking to her about the legal system and how to deal with nobles. Rarity talked about her business and how it was going. After a while Spike returned and joined in. Spike bragged about how much work he had been doing over the past few days and Twilight was thankful for his help, and that he worked for free. Twilight talked a bit about the costs of employing ponies to do the various jobs in the castle, term time and insurance. After a while Rainbow Dash came back from the thermal baths.
"The worst part is, they would get the week off AND get paid! They might as well steal everything that isn't nailed down while they are at it." Twilight stressed as she talked about vacation days that the staff had. "Some of them even come in to work, and demand double pay! I don't ask them to come in... Something about vital staff or other. I just send them on their way and tell them to enjoy their day off."
"That's perfectly normal Twilight, not everypony can work twenty four hours a day. We all need our breaks every now and then." Rarity stated. "And vital staff are the ponies that keep this place running, they can't take their vacation days off because they are always needed. That's why they get double pay on said days." Rarity sighed. "What kind of jobs do they do?"
"They do things that I could normally do, but because I'm a Princess they don't let me. Things like cooking, cleaning, sorting books and doing the odd chore here and there. But I did all of that back when I was a unicorn!" Twilight huffed. "All that has changed is that I have gotten stronger! Why does that mean I must have ponies do everything?"
"Maybe they are worried they might invoke the wrath of Twilight Sparkle?" Spike said innocently.
A silence fell for a few moments until everyone in the room burst into hysterical laughter. Spike fell backwards on the sofa and nearly onto the floor. Rarity was giggling like a school filly. Rainbow Dash was pounding the floor while she laughed like a mad mare. Meanwhile Twilight was doing something between a cackle, evil laugh and a hysterical laugh.
"Oh Spike!" Rainbow tried to speak but her laughter overtook her. After a few moments of laughing Rainbow Dash calmed down a bit. "Spike you are TOO funny. Like Twilight would ever unleash her wrath because she has to cook herself food and sort books!" After a while the group calmed down and took note of the time.
"Stars above, would you look at that! Luna is raising the moon!" Rarity exclaimed. "My goodness, how long have we been here?" Rarity looked over to the clock, which was now nearing eleven O clock. Rarity sighed and got up. "I hate to be the first to leave, but I need to make sure my shop hasn't been ransacked."
"Like anything like that would happen in Ponyville Rarity. If anything somepony would have come over and said that you left you shop open." Rainbow Dash said happily as she joked about the residents of Ponyville.
"One can never be sure, a lady expects the best but prepares for the worst!" Rarity paused. "The one time I didn't do that I regretted it dearly." Rarity stated.
"That make sense, but what time was the Rarity?" Spike inquired.
"The grand galloping gala, I think you all know the details of that night well. Lets just say I had some rather unladylike thoughts in my head after that night." Rarity sighed. "I am so glad you were all there to help me... To pick me up..." Rarity smiled happily.
"We will always be there for you Rarity, no matter what happens." Twilight said sternly, hammering her point in.
Rarity's eyes were staring to water up. "I do believe I am getting rather emotional all of a sudden... I am terribly sorry." Rarity chuckled happily. "I better get going before I make a fool of myself." Rarity waved goodbye to her friends and made her way out of the large room. Leaving Spike, Twilight and Rainbow still in the large room.
Rainbow yawned rather loud and scratched her belly briefly. "I better get going as well. Somepony has to be up early to deal with the weather front blowing in from the Everfree." And before either Spike and Twilight could argue Rainbow Dash took off quickly. "See you tomorrow!" Rainbow shouted as she flew out the castle at an unsafe speed.
Twilight sighed. "At least she didn't crash into anypony this time..." Twilight yawned loudly. "Guess its time for bed as well..." Twilight turned and looked at Spike who was starting to curl up into a ball. Twilight picked him up and placed him on her back with her magic and started to make her way up the stairs towards the upper levels. Soon she was outside Spike's bedroom. While Twilight had said she was okay with Spike remaining in her room, Spike insisted that he got his own room. Twilight placed the small baby dragon in his over-sized bed and gently tucked him in. Twilight left the baby dragons room and went into her room.
Twilight's own room was huge in comparison to what she was used to. The room had a variety of different furnishings, from gilded tapestries to exquisite paintings to fully stocked bookcases. Chandeliers and tall candle sticks decorated the room and kept it well let. Dressers and drawers full of fancy clothes that no Princess would be without. At the far end of the room a bed that could easily house five growing dragons was furnished with a royal red sheets and gilded columns on the four corners. Curtains that were translucent were hung from the top of the bed and could be drawn to filter light. Over the translucent curtains a thick red set of curtains were help up and could be dropped in order to give the sleeper privacy, should they need it.
Twilight sighed as she began to walk towards her bed. She glanced around the room, it was huge, it was warm, it was well kept and lastly it was lonely. It had enough space for a pony to live their whole life in the room. And yet Twilight was the only one who ever got to use it. Twilight missed having company by her while she slept, the gentle breaths and snoring of a certain baby dragon, the odd hooting of a nighttime assistant. All gone because of the drastic change from library to castle. Twilight gently got into her large bed and prepared herself for another lonely night.
Twilight's dream...
As with most of her dreams, Twilight's dream took place in a large library. Books flew off the bookcases and flew around the large library. Twilight used her magic to grab a few books and scan their titles, Twilight had learnt over the years that the title of the book often showed her how she felt and what she wanted. Twilight looked at the first book and read its title to herself. Twos company, threes a crowd... Twilight threw the book away, she ignored the books that seemed to be about two ponies by themselves. Twilight grabbed the second book with her magic and brought it over. Before Twilight could read the book her dream shuddered causing her to drop the book on the floor.
"Young Twilight!" Princess Luna announced as she landed in Twilight's dream. "We detected a grievance in your dream." Luna looked sternly at Twilight. "Is there something you wish to share with us?" Twilight sighed and picked up the book that she dropped and read its title, she then gave the book to Luna.
"This should explain it." Twilight sighed and sat down while Luna examined it. Luna gave Twilight a puzzled look. "The title of the book represents what I am feeling. The title of that book is... The misadventures of Marcus the Unfortunate."
"We understand this, but why?" Luna questioned.
"In that book Marcus spend the majority of the book alone, looking for somepony to be with." Twilight stated. "To put it into context, I have not adjusted too well to living in the castle. It feels hollow and I spend most of my time by myself. I miss having my friends over and spending time with them, I spend most of my time backed up in the legal system alone."
"We spent one-thousand years on the moon alone, it is a fate we would not wish on anypony." Luna said sorrowfully. "How can we help?"
"It alright Luna, this is just something I am going to have to get used to." Twilight said, however Luna was busy picking and reading the titles of some of the other books. "Luna?"
"Twilight, after reading a few of these books it has become clear. You seek a partner." Luna said calmly as Twilight gained a puzzled look. "All these books, their titles are to do with couples. Couples and alone..." Luna stopped when she noticed Twilight was staring at the ground. "Twilight? Art thou alright?"
"I have never really thought about like that... I started seeing those books after the last hearts and hooves day but I never thought it meant anything." Twilight shook her head. "What do I do?"
Luna paused a thought for a moment. "You must do what you want to do young Twilight. However, I would recommend finding somepony to spend your days with. Royal life can change a pony." Luna sighed and decided it was time to leave the dream, however just as she was about to take off Twilight called out and stopped her.
"Luna!" Twilight shouted out, causing Luna to stop. "Can't you give me any advice?" Luna paused and rubbed her chin.
"Maybe... We have not had much experience since our return..." Luna admitted. "However I do know a good starting point!" Luna happily announced.
"Could you please tell me?" Twilight insisted. Luna chuckled happily.
"Well, back before we were banished we had a certain mare approach us... They proposed a strange offer to us, one that we had never thought a pony would have asked." Luna started. "It was one of our more favorable nobles who attended the night court."
"What did they request?" Twilight hastily said, awaiting Luna's reply.
"We will not go into detail about what happened, but they requested that we... Court them, have them as a consort." Once Luna finished she awaited Twilight's response, when Twilight failed to respond she had to explain more. "Back then consorts were not uncommon in the royal family. We all had our needs, however one that was a mare was unheard of. Seeing as... What is the term? Fillyfooling?" Twilight nodded. "Was unheard of." Luna paused again an awaited Twilight's response.
"So what did you say?" Twilight said, asking the one question Luna had hoped she wouldn't ask.
"At first we said no. However curiosity got the better of us and we decided to accept. What we are trying to say Twilight is that... Know what you are after." Luna said slowly, making sure that Twilight understood what she meant. "Do not waste your time by fussing." Once Twilight nodded Luna decided to change the subject. "Could we ask a question Twilight?"
"Of course, ask away." Twilight replied, not knowing where the conversation was going.
"Do you think we have improved since returning?" Luna asked, throwing Twilight into a state of confusion.
Twilight took a moment to think about what Luna had asked. "You certainly have, you don't shout as much and your speech has improved save the odd outburst, but I think that is expected because of how long you were away." Twilight said happily, causing Luna to smile joyfully.
"That is good to know Twilight, however we are needed elsewhere in the dreamscape." Luna started to fly off. "So long Twilight, I hope we can meet again!"
Twilight remained in her dream by herself, she looked over to the books Luna had looked at and read the titles. Most of them were about ponies going on adventures and saving the world, a few were about two ponies living out their lives and doing normal things pony did and lastly a few books were about romantic relationships between ponies. Twilight chuckled, how had she not noticed how bad it had gotten, how had she not seen the obvious signs, how could she of not felt that pang in her heart when she saw her brother getting married...
Then their was what Luna said to her, know what you are after. Those words bounced around in Twilight's head, Twilight had never really though about what she preferred when it came to relationships. Twilight suddenly had a idea that struck like lightning. "Maybe, just maybe. If I scan the books I will get some sort of answer!" Twilight triumphantly said out loud before she remembered that she was the only pony around. Using as much magic as she could muster in her dream, she pulled as many books as she could down and began scanning the titles.
Social hierarchy and you... How do I fit in? Clearly a book about groups, not what I am looking for.
Love on the run, five minute emergency plans if you forgot! Helpful, but only if I get to that stage. I doubt I would forget anything though.
Relationships a premier. Book two of four. Ah ha! That is just what I am looking for!
Twilight pulled the large book out of the pile, she was happy that she had found it so quickly. While to books title held no answer, Twilight was certain she would find it inside. Without reading the contents page, Twilight flicked to the first chapter. Sitting in big bold letters at the top of page the title of the chapter mocked her.
Chapter one: Stallion/stallion relationships.
Twilight slammed the book shut and took a deep breath and opened the book to its contents page. Got a bit too excited there Twilight, you just need to look for the first one that applies to you. Twilight started reading the chapters, the first half of the book seemed to be about stallion dating rather then mare. A large amount of strange relationships that Twilight never thought would work were listed. While scanning Twilight wondered when she had read the book, seeing as she could only ever see books that she had read. While Twilight pondered on the thought she lost track of where she was on the chapter list, she threw the book down and it turned to a random page.
Twilight picked up the book and looked at the page it was on. The page was is the back half of the book so Twilight had no idea what it was about without backtracking to the chapter introduction. Twilight flicked over to the chapter page and looked at it. Twilight took a few moments to double check and to make sure she had read it correctly. Sure enough, the chapter title had not changed.
Chapter twelve: Mare/Mare relationships.
Twilight closed the book and smiled gingerly to herself. As Twilight thought about, the more it seemed to make sense, she had always seemed to hang around other mares. The only stallion or male she knew well was Spike and her brother, but both those options were out before the idea even came to mind. Twilight sighed happily, in her dream she felt satisfied and happy. This hadn't happened since she moved into the castle, her dreams were normally about work or things she used to do. Twilight spend the rest of her dream enjoying herself self and awaiting for the morning to wake her up.
Rarity pushed the door open to her house/clothes shop, much to her relief everything was still intact and the place had not been ransacked. A few boxes marked with the same address were taking up a large portion of the main shop section and a few ponyequins were scattered around, making the room messy. Rarity sighed and made her way to the kitchen, while she would have normally cleaned up the mess on the spot she was far to tired to do so tonight. Opalescence was sleeping soundly in the cat bed. Rarity spoke out to the sleeping cat, trying to express her feelings but keep the cat asleep. "Oh Opal, why do I do it? I keep telling myself I will stop, that I will slow it down..." Rarity opened one of the many cupboards and took out a small box of herbs, a gift from Zecora to help her magical abilities when she struggled. Rarity added the special herbs to a mug and put the kettle on.
Rarity sat down at the table, it had been a long hard few days. All she could think about doing was going to sleep, but she had grown accustom to certain rituals so to speak. The kettle hissed as it started to boil and Rarity quickly poured the hot water into the mug. Rarity added a small amount of milk to the mixture and it turned a light brown color. Rarity gently sipped it, making sure she had done it properly. Once she was happy with the brew she quickly drank it down and awaited for the buzz of the herbs to kick in.
The herbs started to take effect, a slight tingling feeling started to swell up in Rarity's head, slowly moving up towards her horn. Rarity made her way up to her bedroom and gently walked into her bedroom. The large four-poster bed took up a large amount of space, however there was still enough room for some fabric drawers and a few ponyequins by the windows. Rarity drew her curtains and lit the light in her room before she shut the door and got into bed. Rarity sighed once again. "I keep saying I will stop..." Rarity's sentence trailed off as her horn lit up in its signature glow. The room lit up brightly as Rarity's spell took affect. Within moments the blue aura died down and the room was dark, save the celestial being that Rarity had summoned.
The celestial being, or dream wraith that Rarity had summoned looked like a small shifting constellation of stars. The being hoovered in the air, awaiting its summoners magic to shape it. Rarity 's horn lit up again and she started to shape the being. First Rarity changed the color of the wraith into a shade of purple similar to Twilight's, next she gave it Twilight's hair, wings and horn. Lastly Rarity shaped the features of Twilight onto the being, from facial feature to cutie mark. Lastly Rarity fed the wraith a command, causing it to spark to life. The celestial, partially translucent and starry Twilight slowly walked over to the bedside. Rarity moved up and allowed the construct to get into the bed. "Oh Twilight, it has been such a rough day today... My hooves are raw..." Rarity rolled over and looked the construct in the eyes. The construct nodded and wrapped a wing around Rarity. "Yes, maybe it would be a good idea to get a good nights rest Twilight, I guess I will see you in the morning..." Rarity yawned and drifted off into a sleep.
Rarity regretting not spending enough time with her construct, it was after all a hoof crafted construct that many unicorns would struggle to make. Rarity was only able to make one with the assistance of a special tea that Zecora could make. However the worst part for Rarity was the last words she said. The "I guess I will see you in the morning..." Rarity disliked this for two reasons. First of all, it was a lie. The construct would flicker out before daybreak and secondly, Rarity was not happy with it. It was such an unromantic thing to end on. However nothing could be done, Rarity was asleep.
Rarity's dream...
Rarity was in a large warehouse that was full of material, sowing machines and ponyequins, a dressmakers paradise. However before she could live out of dream of making a dress worthy of the creator of everything, Princess Luna swiftly landed in her dream, causing it to shake.
"P-Princess Luna! What a pleasant surprise... What brings you to my dream?" Rarity stuttered as she gave a gracious bow and awaited for Luna's reply.
"Arise Lady Rarity, we have not come to inquire about the state of ones dream. But the reality of a situation." Luna said in response. Rarity quickly rose up and relaxed slightly. "You have recently constructed a magical being out of a dream have you not?"
"I do believe I have done such a thing." Rarity admitted. "I was not aware that it had any negative repercussions." Rarity sighed, thinking she would have to give up making the constructs.
"Nay, they don't. However, due to their nature we are able to see what the summoner created. You seem to have developed quite the preference for the young Twilight..." Luna said, carefully phrasing her words so she didn't say anything too blunt.
"Yes... I appear to have developed something... I keep telling myself I will stop, but I just can't seem to get to sleep without her." Rarity admitted, sounding ashamed. "I have considered taking a break and seeing if I could consult Princess Cadance about matter..."
"Nay, you need not do such things. We can provide assistance in such department." Luna said triumphantly.
"Are you sure that is such a good idea?" Rarity questioned. "I do appreciate the offer, but..."
"It is of no quarrel to us. We, would be more then happy to support your endeavors!" Luna said, shrugging off Rarity's question. "Now, how can we help?"
"Well, I guess... First of all I... We need to figure out Twilight's... Preference." Rarity said slowly, trying to put it in a way that Luna would understand.
"Very well! We shall be back soon, if not tomorrow!" Luna happily announced as she vanished from the dream, leaving Rarity slightly stunned.
"What just happened? Why is Luna matchmaking..?"" Rarity puzzled to herself before she settled into her dream.
That morning... Canterlot...
Luna had finished tending to ponies dreams, it was nearly time for Celestia to raise the sun for the day and Luna to lower the moon and go to bed. Luna made her way to the balcony and was surprised to see Celestia already awake and awaiting her.
"Greetings sister, oh what a pleasant night it has been!" Luna happily announced as she stood next to her sister. Celestia smiled warmly at her.
"I am almost scared to ask... Who did you pair together tonight?" Celestia said warmly with a small chuckle.
"No, none tonight. Just... Things have happened." Luna chuckled.
"What kind of things sister?" Celestia asked, sound slightly concerned about Luna's nighttime antics.
"We were in the process of inquiring about a pony summoning dream constructs, much to our surprise we found the point of origin to be Rarity." Luna paused for a moment, however Celestia nodding signaled her to go on. "While we are unaware of how she learnt such a spell, we were surprised when we saw what she made with it. A construct that bared a striking resemblance to the young Twilight."
Celestia signaled for Luna to stop talking and placed her hoof on her chin and rubbed it gently. "So Rarity was making constructs of Twilight... But for what purpose?" Celestia inquired while remaining calm about the slightly creepy situation.
"We to wondered about why Rarity was doing such things. However all the construct did was get into bed with her and gently hug her until she feel asleep and the magic drained." Luna replied, making Rarity sound slight less like a stalker. "Rarity, was merely admitting how she felt to me in the dream."
"I see... Then what happened?" Celestia said, her curiosity peaking.
"Well, we offered our help of course. Shorty after arriving we left for Twilight's dream, she dreamed about books. But the books spoke her feelings. Twilight's books told us that she is in need of a life partner. We left before we could find out more, out powers needed elsewhere in the dreamscape."
"I see..." Celestia calmly said, trying to process what she had heard. "So you found out that Rarity was creating magical constructs that looked like Twilight, and was using them to simulate her dreams..."
"To an extend, yes she was." Luna admitted, she was disheartened that she did not know the full reason for the constructs however she felt it would be something she was better off not knowing.
"You visited Rarity in her dreams, and she told you why she was making the constructs. You then offered you help to her." Celestia continued. "You then went into Twilight's dream and found out she is seeking a partner."
"Very much so, I believe that is all." Luna said as Celestia concluded. "A night well spent if we can say so." Luna happily announced as she started to lower the moon. "We shall see what more we can do tonight." And with that, Luna flew off towards her chambers. Leaving a slightly concerned and confused Celestia behind to raise the sun.
