The moon was big and bright. Princess Celestia looked to the sky in tears as she thought about her sister. Luna... As the Princess was bought back to reality, when Philomena flew through the window.

"Philomena? Where is Sunset Shimmer?" She asked the phoenix.

Shortly after Sunset Shimmer teleported into the room looking for Philomena. The orange unicorn paused when she saw Princess Celestia. Her eyes slowly and awkwardly drifted over to Philomena.

"There you are! Never do that again, you can't just bother the Princess whenever you want!" Sunset Shimmer shouted at her Phoenix.

Celestia looked to her student, "Its no trouble Sunset, please don't worry." She was trying to keep the sadness out of he voice but Sunset Shimmer knew what was going on.

The unicorn hugged the Princess, she knew about her sister and knew she loved her more than anything in Equestria. Princess Celestia smiled, and they laid down. The Princess felt that Sunset, was like her sister. She cheered her up when she was upset, they'd lay together, and sometimes they shared laughs. A tear came to her eye.

"Princess?"

Celestia realized she was crying and quickly wiped her tear. "Its, just. You might not think the same as I but I think that you remind me of my sister, Princess Luna." Another tear dripped down.

Sunset Shimmer smiled to her teacher and laid with her. They both looked to the stars lost in thought. Luna I miss you. I love you please forgive me...

Soon both of the mares fell asleep together. The room was silent, when Princess Celestia woke up. She froze, seeing a misty figure of her sister standing right in front of her. They stared at each other, face-to-face until Celestia gained the courage to speak to her lost sister.

"Sister.." She said under her breath.

"How come you don't love me?" The figure yelled at The Princess in shock.

Celestia couldn't speak. "I- I do.." she whispered.

"No you don't! You replaced me!" She looked at Sunset Shimmer who was still asleep.

"Luna, she just reminds me-"

"NO! I HATE YOU!!" The shadow-like figure of Luna screamed, before it fades into nothing.

Princess Celestia didn't know what to say, or do. She was paralyzed.  How, could she tell me she *hates** me?* She then awoke in tears. Princess Celestia realized it was only a nightmare. She looked to Sunset Shimmer who was still asleep, peacefully. She smiled, and drifted back to sleep.

This time she woke up and Sunset Shimmer was wide-awake. She looked her and whispered something.

"What was that Sunset Shimmer?" Princess Celestia said.

She repeated it but it was still to faint to hear.

"I apologize, please speak up."

This time Sunset shouted at her "HOW COULD YOU?? YOU'RE A TRAITOR! I'M JUST NOTHING TO YOU, YOU JUST WANT YOUR SISTER!! I'M ONLY A REPLACEMENT AREN'T I!?" Tears dripped down both their cheeks.

Princess Celestia woke once more in the silent room. She couldn't stop thinking about Luna. It hurt inside her.
