Once again raising the moon like she had for a thousand years. Celestia had to admit, even with all that practice, Luna made her nights look like rubbish. While her nights were peaceful, and even beautiful at times, Luna's night had atmosphere that hers lacked.

Making her way over to her hotel room window, Celestia let out a soft sigh in disapproval at her work. Her sister instantly coming to mind, wishing she could see her night again. She had to spend a thousand years nearly forgetting how extravagant the dark princess's nights had been. To her, it was a shame not having Luna raise even a single moonrise. The way the bugs themselves seemed to celebrate the night, but with Celestia's night, all was calm. Everything seemed empty, and honestly, depressing.

A frown tugged at the corners of her white mouth, an expression she dared not have in front of anypony. It could possibly set her citizens into a panic to see her like this. Saddened at all, let alone for something like a quiet, calm night. Even the stars themselves seemed to shimmer less when she rose the moon. Luna could even put small details like shooting stars, or even an equivalent of an aura borialis into the sky for all to see, but hers just turned into muggy colors if she tried. All Celestia could do at the moment was mutter to herself, “I wonder if Luna is looking to the sky in disappointment at my night?”

“It isn't the worst I've seen, dear sister...” Luna softly stated, a swirl of darkness fading quickly as she formed in the room.

Celestia jumped, taking a few quick wary steps away, a reddened hue marking her features. Luna took notice of her sister's embarrassment but instead pretended not to notice. She simply made her way to the window that Celestia had once occupied, “There are things about your day that I find beautiful. Full of life and energy, things that just make you want to get things done... Something I could never create, even if I had two thousand years practice.”

Joining her sister by the window, All fell silent for a long while as the two sisters watched out the window. Luna soon closed her eyes, her horn illuminating, focusing her ethereal magic amongst the stars themselves. Celestia's eyes sparkled as a hue of colors formed in the sky. Celestia was in awe, and felt too at ease to feel too bad, smirking as she asked, “Was my night that bad?”

A frown was all Celestia received. Luna glanced over to her sister, “Father and the others have a plan against Malefor, and honestly, we may not have too much longer to create the night and day...”

Celestia's eyes widened, her facial features turning serious, “What do you mean? What's the plan?”

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

“So that's it?” Celestia sighed, glancing out the window, “So father believes this is best, does he?”

“No...” Luna shook her head, drawing in Celestia's gaze, “Father left the choice to all of us, but then Spyro said the world is ours, Ponies... We are the Princesses of Equestria, Tia... We took on this burden when we stepped forth into the world. The ponies look up to us and it isn't right for us to make this decision lightly. A few of the Elements of Harmony believe that the dragons would try to take back the planet once they get their intellect back, but what's that to say about Griffons, Diamond dogs, and all the other species? We raise the moon and sun themselves... The only reason that most of our enemies haven't attacked, was because they lacked the ability to take over if necessary. How many more will attack when that chore lies with no one?”

“Ponies are strong, Lulu...” Celestia smiled, wrapping a wing around her sister, “Equestria will still have us... We have led for thousands of years, and we still have the Elements of Harmony.”

Luna let out a sigh, leaning into her sister's embrace, “So... we go through with the plan?”

“Yes... I believe that would be best, and we should trust in father.” Celestia warmly smiled, tightening her wing around Luna.

All fell silent for a moment, until Luna finally stated, “I want to denounce my immortality.”

“Spyro?” Celestia softly asked, no sign of anger or disappointment.

The dark princess simply nodded, burying her face into her sister's chest. Celestia remained silent for a time, her eyes splaying across the hues in the sky. A few shooting stars darting across the canvas, “okay, once the plan is over, you can denounce your immortality to me, and I'll keep ruling Equestria. For now, I'll deter all rights of negotiation to Cadence. She has proven quite worthy, and I believe she will be just fine. Use your night time travel spell to return to father, let him know I am settling loose ends and arming Equestria. If we are stopping Malefor, I believe all of Equestria deserves to have a part, don't you?”

Nodding, Luna pulled from her sister's grasp, stepping to the window. Guilt clearly marking her features. Feeling Guilty for leaving Celestia alone in possible immortality. Celestia watched curiously as Luna paused, “I don't wish to go quite yet... May I stay with you a bit longer?”

“Yes... yes you can, Lulu.” Celestia smiled, pulling her sister into a tight embrace.

A cool wind rolled in through the front door, letting all the smells and heat that formed from cooking out into the night. Twilight and Spyro sat a few feet outside keeping an eye out for their third. Spyro's eyes stayed on the sky, but Twilight's attention swapped too and from the sky. She would glance over to Spyro, scanning his body. Luckily they were out of eyesight, and Spyro was so focused. She could seem to look at him enough. Her mind would wander and she would think, 'how far would we have gone if Spike hadn't walked in?'

Her hind legs shuffled against the cold grass, a certain spot between her legs moistening. After a moment she realized she had been biting her lower lip and it throbbed as she let it go. Her heart raced as she contemplated saying something to him. She was curious, she was wanting to know so many things about him, and out of everything, right now her questions were sexual. Have you ever had sex? Have you ever had sex with another specie? Would you want to mate with me and Luna? Wanna do it?

She swallowed ever nervously, trying not to draw in Spyro's attention. No matter what, her mind wouldn't focus onto something else. Finally being in a herd with him only made her want him all the more. Even after she managed to deter her mind away from sex, her mind started on something else, 'would Luna mind if I nuzzled him? Would she be mad if I held his arm, or kissed him without her here?'

“Twilight?” Spyro suddenly asked, snapping Twilight back to reality, sure that she had been caught.

But as she followed his gaze and pointed finger, she saw a swirl of night nearing. Both he and her instantly smiled, calling out, “Luna!”

Luna's shadowy form fell short and she appeared in the air, using her wings to catch herself. Once she touched down she averted her gaze, “We go ahead with the plan... Tell father Celestia is rallying Equestria and she will join us tomorrow...”

She was about to turn away for the cave, but Spyro caught her by the shoulder, “Luna, have you been crying?”

For a moment Luna remained silent, keeping her face behind her mane and her nose pointed elsewhere. Twilight stepped around getting a glimpse of Luna's face as her eyes met Luna's, “What's wrong?”

“I told Celestia I want to denounce my immortality.” Luna said in almost a whisper, but they heard.

“Did she not take it well?” Twilight softly asked.

“A little too well...” The tears quickened down her cheeks, “It just made me feel worse that I'd be leaving her all alone...”

“She just wants you happy, Luna...” Spyro said, trying to make eye contact, but Luna just lowered her nose.

“She's going to take in my long life into herself. In order to denounce my powers, I have to pass it on. It'll make her live even longer, assuming we weren't immortal. We don't know the extent to our power. I suppose she could always pass on one of our powers as well, but that would just leave somepony else in our same state.” Luna sniffled, barely managing to speak clearly.

Twilight stepped forward, offering a hoof on her shoulder, “If she can pass on your power, and she falls in love, couldn't he join her? She wouldn't be alone any longer. So you shouldn't worry so much, right?”

Spyro's and Twilight's worried gazes met, before Luna soft sobs slowed, “I suppose you're right, but it isn't fair... Nopony should live this long...”

For a few moments Twilight and Spyro nuzzled Luna, letting their herd mate calm down. After what seemed like forever, Luna pulled away, using her magic to straighten her features. She let out a deep shaky sigh before moving for the cave, “Give father the news, I'm going to bed, I cannot take any more tonight.”

Both of Luna's herdmates didn't reply, they merely followed her inside and watched her step down the hall toward her room. The rest of their friends had seen, but didn't dare say anything, knowing something was up. However, as soon as Luna was safely in her room, Applejack was the first to speak up, “Somethin the matter? What did Celestia say bout the plan?”

“I'll explain everything, call the others.” Twilight stated, taking one more worried glance toward Luna's room.
