Celestia is tired of losing lovers. So much to the point she now considers her immortality a curse. There is only one other like her... But that is her sister... Luna. Celestia realizes something, and decides to talk to her sister, but about what?

Celestia is over 1,000 Years old. She is a very beautiful mare and a great princess. She has everything right? Many loyal followers, a great student in Twilight Sparkle, she rules over an entire world. What more could she have? Celestia is always smiling, but she knows something is missing. She has been with many lovers before, mares and stallions, mares moreso. All of her relationships have been private. No one but Celestia knows, not even her sister. Celestia loves a certain Alicorn, not her sister, but to a mare she knows she can't have, which is Princess Cadence, because of Shining Armor, not because of their marriage, but because Cadence still has not recovered over the death of her husband, who fell in another battle against the Changelings, at the marriage ceremony of Celestia's star pupil, Twilight Sparkle, and her boyfriend Flash Sentry, Shining being killed by Queen Chrysalis who managed to escape. Starting with the Funeral of Shining Armor, this story expands into a very far realm of many characters. After Celestia receives a letter from Cadence, she then realizes something. There was one pony she needed to talk to… Princess Luna, princess of the night, and her younger sister. The talk involved Celestia's past and some of the current events, and had to do with Celestia, and Luna being immortal, but exactly what did Celestia need to tell Luna?

Chapter 1: Celestia's Concerns

Note: This Chapter takes Place in the Past, at Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry's wedding, the next chapter will also take place in this time frame.

Note 2: This story also involves places that were not in the show in some points. (Very few)

Celestia was the happiest she had been since her sister Luna was reunited with her.

It was the second wedding that Celestia oversaw, this time her sister Luna, as well as Cadence and Discord (who was now officially done causing major havoc, still causing some chaos in places.) were able to attend.

Celestia decided to bring the two other Princesses as well as Discord over to talk.

"Discord! Luna! Cadence! please come here" , Celestia asked.

All 3 came over to the Princess of the sun.

"Sister? Why has thou called us here?" , Luna asked , confused.

"I thought Celestia told you to stop with that Royal Canterlot mumbo jumbo Luna." , Discord stated, chuckling.

"You know, he is right Luna." , Cadence agreed with Discord.

"Luna my sister, as they said, you do not need to use the Royal Canterlot voice." , Celestia said, agreeing with the third alicorn and the draconequus.

"Tho-- you did say this, my older sister." , Luna replied.

"The reason I called you over here was to discuss a few things, mostly doing with the wedding." , Celestia said.

"The wedding, im so excited for her!" , a voice said.

"Shining!" , Cadence exclaimed, giving him a peck on the lips.

"I can't believe Twily is getting married. This is just like with me and you Cadence!" , Shining said with a big grin on his face.

"How exactly is it just like us?" , Cadence asked.

"Well, not exactly like us, but like 99% like us. Look at the circumstances of the situation of my comparison. I, the captain of the Royal Guard, married you, an Alicorn and a Princess, here in Canterlot." , Shining said.

"You haven't explained how this is like that" , Cadence said.

"I was getting to that, anyways, look at this, my sister Twily, an alicorn princess, is getting married to a member of the Royal Guard, which is the 99% considering im the Captain." , Shining said with an ever bigger grin on his face.

"That makes it 98% then, no changeling invasion this time." , Cadence said, with a sigh of relief, then chuckled slightly.

"That is true." , Shining replied, laughing.

"Well I hate to interrupt this little get together, but Celestia still hasn't told us exactly what's going." , Discord said, snapping his fingers, with a glass of chocolate milk appearing out of nowhere.

"Discord, this is a wedding, not a party." , Celestia said, a bit harsh toned.

"Oh. Right." , Discord replied, snapping his fingers again, and the chocolate milk suddenly turned into wine.

"Better." , Celestia stated.

"Hey Discord, think you could give me some too? , Shining asked.

"Of course. I'll do even better." , Discord stated. "Oh yeah, and you four start up your magic, something you need to catch." , Discord then said.

All four of the ponies prepared their magic.

"Ok then." , Discord said, and snapped his fingers four times, and a glass of wine appeared above the four ponies, being caught in their magical aura. "There you all go, you are welcome, no thanks needed." , Discord said happily.

"Well Discord, your not trying to trick us are you?" , Celestia asked, with a grin that eventually slipped into a laugh.

"I can always take yours back my dear Celestia." , Discord said with a mocking tone.

"No that's ok." , Celestia replied quickly.

"Priceless." , Discord replied, laughing.

Celestia growled.

"Ok enough with these shenanigans. What all did you want to talk about with the wedding Celestia?" , Discord asked.

"Oh yeah.... that." , Celestia replied.

"Well, I may be very happy but at the same time I'm also sad deep down." , Celestia stated, with a small amount of sadness in her voice.

"Why are you sad my sister?" , Luna asked, concerned.

"Yeah what's bugging you Celestia?" , Discord asked.

Celestia said nothing.

"Please tell us Celestia, anything we can do to help, we will gladly do." , stated Cadence and Shining Armor, the two talking in perfect unison with the other.

"As happy as I am for my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle getting married, I'm also sad because I know this will mean I get to see her even less. She is after all, the first official princess of Ponyville as declared by me. I know that she will be staying there even more now, with her soon-to-be husband, Flash Sentry." , Celestia said, sadness starting to overtake her tone completely.

"Do not be sad my dear Celestia. These things happen, also hold on for a second." , Discord said, turning to the other 3 ponies when he finished.

"I know you are her sister Luna, and that you and Shining Armor are concerned Cadence, but may I talk with Celestia in private? , Discord asked.

Cadence and Shining nodded and left.

Luna however stayed there saying, "Why should I leave my sister here alone with you? You are after all a god of chaos, and maybe she trusts you, but I still have my suspicions, and I refuse to--"

"I will be fine Luna" , Celestia said, cutting off her younger sister.

"Are you sure sister?" , Luna asked, concerned.

"Yes, now leave us be." , Celestia said sadly.

"Ok." , Luna replied, and she then left.

==With Discord and Celestia=

"What is so concerning my dear Celestia?" , Discord asked.

"I just feel alone again" , Celestia said, finally breaking and she began crying.

"It will be ok, my- Celestia." , Discord said, with an unusual tone of sureness in his tone.

Celestia buried her head in Discord's stomach, causing him to feel sad as well.

"Celestia, your gonna make cry with this kind of stuff" , Discord said with barely noticeable Tears in his eyes, tears that would be invisible to the eyes of a unicorn, pegasus, or earth pony, but visible to Celestia and any other Alicorn.

"Discord, im not just sad about this, but I also remembered something that eats away at me still today. I know it will make you cry if I tell you what, but I must get it off of my chest." , Celestia said, nearly bawling like a young filly.

"What do you need to say Celestia?" , Discord asked, concerned.

Celestia simply said one word, or place. "Draconequuscordia"

Discord cringed when he heard the word. He knew exactly what she meant.

"I'm sorry Discord" , Celestia said.

"Go ahead... Celestia" , Discord said, tears now easily visible in his eyes.

"I'm sorry for what happened nearly 2,000 years ago. I was to set on revenge. I allowed my own hatred to take over me. I simply thought of you as an evil entity. I was the evil one though, what I did was unforgivable, and you can't say it wasn't. You watched every bit of it. Then nothing" , Celestia said, suddenly stopping her talk.

"Its ok, keep going Celestia." Discord said, starting to cry silently.

"It was me and my sister Luna, but she only assisted in the end, I was the one who killed them all. Your family, your people. I was blind, I was so obsessed with harmony, i committed an act of disharmony. I saw your 'chaos' as an act of terrorism, but I was the terrorist. I blew up countless houses, I killed countless draconequus, with the only weapon that can kill anything immortal, including you, or myself. I destroyed the weapon after this, and that's when Luna and I used the Elements of Harmony, and locked you away for the next 1,000 years." , Celestia finished, burying her head further into Discord's stomach.

"What you did, was a very dirty thing Celestia. Before I saw the light from what your student and her friends showed me, especially Fluttershy, you have no idea how badly I wanted to destroy you myself. I didn't because even before they showed me the power of friendship, something just held me back from destroying you. You say what you did is unforgivable, maybe to a mere mortal, but for a fellow immortal being, I see what you did as forgivable, despite how barbaric it was. I forgive you, Princess Celestia." , Discord Finished. He then hugged Celestia.

"T-t--t-thank you Discord" Celestia replied, now crying like a filly.

"You are welcome, my dear Celestia." , Discord said, rubbing Celestia's mane and fur."

*EXPLOSION*

Celestia stopped crying suddenly.

"What was that?!?!?" , Celestia asked.

"Whatever it was, I assure you, it was not me, and I also assure it was definitely not planned, nor was it good." , Discord replied.

"We must go at once, Discord. I fear I know what it is, which scares me greatly." , Celestia said, in a scared voice.

"We shall go Celestia, and I feel I know what it is as well. This is very bad my dear Celestia, very bad." , Discord replied, with a very concerned tone.

==Back with Shining Armor and Cadence==

"No.. NO! It can't be!" , Shining Armor yelled.

"This isn't happening! It can't happen!" , Cadence yelled beside Shining.

"Oh but it can and it is, and I assure you, this is very real." , A strange voice said.

"IM BACK AND STRONGER THAN EVER, ALL SHALL WORSHIP ME OR PERISH!!!" , The same strange voice yelled.

"Cadence, get Twilight, I must take care of this." , Shining said.

"But-"

"NO BUTS CADENCE" , Shining yelled, cutting off his wife.

"O-o-k." , Cadence said, leaving to go get Twilight who was not aware of what was happening, as they were on the other side of the castle, they did not hear the explosion as it was a small one, loud enough for only a very small minority of the castle to hear.

Chapter 1 End.

Chapter 2: The End of the Knight in Shining Armor

Chapter 2: The End of the Knight in Shining Armor

Note: Non spaced paragraphs are conversations, when they end it will be spaced out.

Cadence was headed to the other side of the castle to find Twilight, Flash Sentry, and her friends, still shocked at what she had just saw.

==With Twilight Sparkle, Flash Sentry & The Mane 6==

"I still can't believe we are getting married Flash, the way we met was just so weird." said Twilight.

"I'm still a bit shocked to hear about the other world and how things happened over there." said Flash Sentry.

"Yeah, It was interesting but that's what led to me beginning to talk to you more. I'm glad that it did happen now, you're an amazing pony. I'm happy to know I get to spend the rest of my days with you." said Twilight.

"Same for you Twilight, my name may be Flash Sentry, but your Faster than a Flash, and stronger than a Sentry, yes I know terrible joke/comparison" said Flash Sentry, laughing.

"Yeah, that was pretty bad but I'm not gonna hold it against you." said Twilight, also laughing.

Twilight and Sentry kissed after that.

"They look so cuute together" said Rarity, cooing.

"I'm not one for mushy sentiments like this but ah think that they look cute together as well" said Applejack.

"I'm not one for these kinds of things either, all of you know that." said Rainbow Dash, bored.

"Isn't it adorable though? I think its very cute that Twilight finally has someone like Flash. I think that he will treat her well. I wish I had somepony like him though." said Fluttershy.

"Why are you guys so low on energy? This is awesome! Twilight is getting married and we get to be a part of it! I don't understand how you guys can be such sourpusses about it! If not told by Celestia, as well as Twilight herself not to throw it, I'd throw an epic party right now! Lighten up girls!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie, now jumping up and down non-stop.

"This is gonna be ah long day...." Applejack said, annoyed.

"TWILIGHT!!!!!" , a voice yelled.

Everyone looked over to their left.

"Cadence? What are you doing here? I thought you and Shining were with the other princesses." Twilight said, confused.

"I was, but there is trouble, you must come at once. It is crucial!" Cadence said, in a very worried tone.

"Ok ok, lets go everypony, we have to see what is going on." said Twilight, in a firm tone.

"Finally, some action!" , Rainbow Dash said happily.

"Uhh... I'll just stay here, where it's safe." Fluttershy quietly said.

"Ooh. Should be interesting" said Pinkie Pie

"Ugh... what could be so important that we have to go somewhere else when Twilight is getting ready to get married?" asked Rarity, in a disgusted tone.

"Sugarcube, im sure whatever it is has to be very important, why else would Cadence come runnin down here an interrupt everypony?" asked Applejack, the question directed at Rarity.

"Nothing." Rarity replied.

"Whatever." Applejack said to Rarity.

"ENOUGH ARGUING ALREADY!, WE MUST GO NOW!" , yelled Cadence.

They all took this as a reason to get going immediately.

==With Shining Armor==

"You won't cause any havoc. Not again!" Shining yelled.

"Oh, but you're wrong" a voice said.

"You nearly destroyed Canterlot during my wedding with Cadence, I won't allow you to do the same here, Chrysalis!"  yelled Shining, getting ready to fight if he had to.

"You're seriously going to try and fight me? I defeated Celestia for ponies sake. Alone you have absolutely no chance, you fool." , mocked Chrysalis.

"I will do what I must. I will not allow you to ruin the happiest moment of my sister's life." said Shining.

"Very well, its your wish to die." said Chrysalis.

Chrysalis charged at Shining, who tried to teleport but his magic didn't work.

"W-w-w-what?? My magic, why isn't it working??" Shining asked, panicking.

"You think I'm stupid? I brought some help with me." said Chrysalis, stopping in her tracks momentarily.

"Who would help somepony like you?" asked Shining.

"I am a queen after all, I thought I needed a king..."

Shining's jaw dropped when he realized what she meant.

"B-b-b-ut that's impossible..." Shining said, in a shocked tone.

"Oh but it isn't." a voice boomed.

"Not you... It can't be. You died!" Shining yelled.

"That's what you think, but I simply faded away in the shadows like before." the voice boomed again, beginning to laugh maniacally.

"Sombra...." Shining said, weakly.

"Now my dear, now that you've met my king, it's time to die." mocked Chrysalis.

Shining tried to move but he couldn't, he looked down and his jaw dropped.

"My legs....." Shining said, in horror.

"You aren't going anywhere. Once you are gone, taking over the Crystal Empire will be easy, your wife, the crystal princess, is powerless without you, if you leave her, she will never recover, so I've made sure this is your final stand, Shining Armor. Your legs are trapped in my crystals, and you can't use magic to break them." said Sombra, laughing maniacally.

"Twilight.... Cadence... I'm sorry." Shining said, tears forming in his eyes.

When he finished his sentence, Chrysalis pierced his heart with her horn, killing him instantly.

Blood went everywhere when Sombra then used his dark crystals to crush Shining's legs.

The King and Queen laughed together and the next second, they were gone.

==With Luna==

Luna felt a shockwave. She began to tear up because she knew what this shock meant.

"The Knight in Shining Armor has fallen....." Luna said, crying.

==With Celestia and Discord==

"Ow!" Celestia said.

"Celestia, what's wrong?" Discord asked.

"It wasn't pain. It was a feeling of loss." Celestia stated, beginning to tear up.

"What has happened Celestia?" Discord asked, very worried.

"Shining Armor has been killed." Celestia said.

"You had better use your magic to keep Cadence from feeling this." Discord said.

"I will, I'm glad that Twilight has not been an alicorn long enough to feel the death of a close one." said Celestia, crying.

"I am as well, Celestia. But when do we tell them?" Discord asked, with a hint of concern.

"I don't know..." Celestia said weakly.

"I was afraid you'd say that." Discord said, now finally crying.

Chapter 2: END.
