Dark Room

I sat myself down, two days had passed since the Summer Sun Celebration, and now the element's effect's had almost worn off.

Yesterday I saw my first sunrise.

It was beautiful, the warmth hit my skin, the sensation was brilliant! Never before had I felt the sun's warmth! But now... Well, that was probably the last time I'll ever feel the sun's warmth.

I wish I could be cleansed everyday, but, if there is no evil to be cleansed, the elements may kill me.

I sighed heavily, my sky blue hair swayed, I admired it. It looked so, pure. So very pure.

"Luna? Open up," I pouted, I definitely wanted time. Alone. "I have breakfast!" "Better have something" I thought; my back slumped, I pushed my hands against the floor.

Soon, I was up.

I poked my head out of the door; her face gave me a worried look, "Luna? Can we talk?" Celestia softly whispered, "Ok..."

Celestia stepped into my room, "It's so dark in here, maybe we should let some light in," "Haha, very funny" I cut her off, she giggled, "Oops, sorry Luna..."

"So?" I asked, "What do you want?"

"Luna, have been... Thinking."

"Yes?"

"And, I was wondering"

"Uhuh..."

"If you could be cured, would you cure yourself?"

I stopped. I didn't know how to react. Was this some kind of sick joke? Not likely. I took a deep breath,

"Tia, I would not of cared a while ago. But now, I want to be cured. Yes, but how? Our other attempts were useless, and other cures involve... Sacrifice. You know that. It just... Seems too hard."

Celestia nodded; "My doctors gave found a solution."

I went to object but Celestia cut me off,

"It is quite particular though. It may take a while."

My eye-brow raised, "How?"

Celestia blushed, "Don't worry, it's stupid anyway..."

"Tiaaaaaa...!"

"Fine. You have to..."

"You know to umm... One of the element bearers?"

I was taken aghast, "Celestia! I shall do no such thing!"

"I know, I know, the doctors are very close to a break-through though."

I nodded, "How long?"

"I don't know... Soon?"

Celestia smiled, "I know your frustration sis, but we must keep positive!" She kissed me on the cheek, I forced a smile.

"Ok."

I may as well make the most of what I have.

Especially when the royal chef's make a killer cloud cake!
