Dreams And Love

The sun beamed down upon the princesses faces, their twin gaze was locked onto the cloudless, baby blue skies, a shining blue that could allow them to feed off of it's beauty and live forever. This day could make everypony wish they could live off it’s beauty for all of time as both mares sat on the soft grass underneath them. Luna’s eyes were shut as the warmth from the sun shined upon her face. She sighed, as all the stress that weighed on her shoulders vanished. There was one problem, however, that didn’t seem to vanish and that was her sister’s change in attitude.

Twilight stared at the sun’s beauty, wondering if the mare who created it changed over the years. Something about Celestia’s tone, the look on her face unmoved her. Something inside the Canterlot Archive she was very secretive about.

“Princess Luna, I need to ask-

“You, don’t have to call me Princess.” Luna interrupted as her eyes opened, “You know you can always call me Luna, cause you sound more cute saying that.”

Twilight blushed at the comment, “Can I ask you something?”

An eyebrow was raised in reply. “What is it?”Luna asked, now curious. “Is it something bad?”

Twilight shook her head, “It’s about how Celestia reacted when she found out I was sneaking around.”

Luna sighed, “I don’t wanna talk about my sister’s actions right now.” she replied coldly, “She’s changed over the years Twilight and I-” she stopped as her tears ran down her cheek. “I don’t even recognize her anymore.”

Twilight gasped, and opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. They both just stared into the gazing sun as the unmoving silence passed through them.

As the stillness crept into her skin, she couldn’t contain the question she held in any longer. “How long are we going to keep doing this?”

“Pardon?”

Twilight sighed. “Secretly seeing each other through my dreams?” She asked, “I mean I do love the places we pick to see each other in here, but it seems all too unreal.”

“Twilight, you know we can’t-

“Why not!” Twilight interrupted her, “Because Celestia said so, Celestia doesn’t control you, Luna!”

“The rules control me, Twilight! they control us!” Luna hissed at her. “We all have to follow them!”

“What happens when we don’t?”

Luna was about to open her mouth to speak, but she couldn’t find the right words to tell Twilight.

Twilight chuckled.“You, don’t even know,do you?”  she sighed. “Did you and Celestia ever try to break the royalty rule?”

Luna shook her head, “Me and my sister have held true to the rule for so long, we both hold great fear for breaking them.”

Feeling ashamed for her outburst, Twilight placed a wing over Luna’s shoulder, “I’m sorry.” she said, “I shouldn’t be pressuring you to break something you're true to.”

Luna turned to her young princess and smiled, “It’s alright Twilight, I’ll try to find a way for us to be together in reality.”

“Thank you.”

It’s as if the colors and intensity of the light are just enough to calm the Princesses worries and angry. The sun is like a great big romantic, inspirational fire in the sky. It would be as if a powerful symphony was quieting down, becoming more emotional and beautiful as it dies down.

Its rays seem friendly. They reminded her of a certain old friend, waving goodbye to them. The pair didn’t know if Celestia's mind had finally given up, but Luna was filled with confidence that she’d see her sister's sanity and kindness return.

Luna leaned over to Twilight and their muzzles touched. both sat there not wanting to break the kiss, but it had to be done.

After a long passionate kiss Twilight broke away. She bit her lip as she stared into her special somepony's eyes, wanting to kiss her fiercely. Twilight giggled, “I gotta go.”

Luna nodded and got up, “Twilight, I promise I’ll find a way.”  And with that, trotted off towards the  sky as it began fracturing around them.

Twilight woke up, and groggily shook her head. She smiled as the thought of the promise Luna had made filled her with hope. She raised her head to see the light in the room was fading away, creating new shadows and dark patches around her. Twilight was surrounded by  Eyes filled with darkness that glimmered from the tree hollows. The wind wailed between distorted trunks, carrying the sickly stink of wood rot.

“W-W-Where am I?”

A sadistic laugh echoed through the dark forest, enjoying the smell and taste of Twilight’s fear. You’re in our world, Princess.” The voice said.

Twilight backed up into a tree , feeling the wood scratch the back of her neck,“What do you want? Who are you?”

“Questions, questions.”  It chuckled, Just know, Princess, thatwe only want one thing.”  it growled as the darkness closed in on Twilight, “To break you!”
