My Little Pony: Moonbound

That's where it was, lost underneath her bed. Her horn glowed brightly, pulling the book out so she could dust it off. A smile formed on her lips when she realized it was an old book about old ponytales. She hadn't read it since she was only a little filly; in fact, it was kind of nostalgic for her.

She gently patted the book off with her hoof before levitating it up to the top of her bookcase, putting it right where it belongs. The sunbeams suspended dust in the air from the book, causing her to cough to herself. Luckily, she wasn't necessarily allergic to dust, but it was probably the spring cleaning she had been doing. Her head was beginning to hurt, though. She should probably head out for some fresh air, it'll do her some good.

"Maybe I'll go over to Sugarcube Corner," Twilight mumbled to herself as Spike walked into her room.

"Hey Twi, I finished cleaning the spare bedroom." He said as he coughed out a small puff of fire.

"It looks like I'm not the only one that could use fresh air," Twilight giggled quietly at the baby dragon, "Do you want to come to Sugarcube Corner with me?"

Spike smiled at the thought, "Sure! I'm pretty hungry anyway, but we'd have to make it fast because I'm supposed to help Rarity around her house later."

"I swear that you are whipped." Her eyes rolled before she picked up the baby dragon with her magic, placing him on her back. She walked out of her room and down the stairs, opening the door to a pink pony standing in front of her.

"Oh hey there, Twilight!" Pinkie said with a wide smile on her fact, "Where are you going? Huh, huh, huh?" She bounced happily in place, "Are you going to Sugarcube Corner? Well, you shouldn't because it's being renovated because we needed more storage space for the cooking supplies. You should come to Sweet Apple Acres with me, though. We were going to meet up there later today anyway so we wanted you to come and please say you'll come!" She gasped for air after saying that entire paragraph with only one breath.

"Uhm… Okay, I guess I could do that..." Twilight said with a raised eyebrow. She was taken aback by the pink party pony's energetic attitude and surprise visit.

"Yay! Come on, we have to hurry!" Pinkie said before bouncing off towards Applejack's farm.

Twilight simply watched the pony for a moment, blinking in bewilderment as to what just happened. Her daze was short lived however, as she found herself being called out to by Pinkie Pie. She ran to catch up to the pink pony and followed her all of the way to Sweet Apple Acres.

...

"Happy Birthday!" Everypony shouted as Twilight walked into the barn at Sweet Apple Acres.

The barn was decorated with bright colored streamers with a 'Happy Birthday' banner on the wall. There was a huge cake sitting on the table, looking like it could probably feed an army. It had a color scheme that matched Twilight, probably Rarity's idea. Music played softly, turned down so everypony could talk.

"I know it's not much, sugarcube, but I hope y'all have fun." Applejack said with a smile.

"Thank you, Applejack." Twilight said with a smile, "Thank you all!"

She still wasn't used to having her birthday celebrated with her five friends; it was always just her and the princess.

The door opened up behind her, and a familiar voice calls out, "Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student, Happy Birthday."

Twilight spun around to see her majesty standing before her, a smile stretched across her face. Behind Celestia stood another alicorn pony, looking as if she had just gotten out of bed. Luna wallowed in with a look of insomnia upon her face, she had probably stayed up all night and had gotten no sleep in the day.

"Happy…" Luna yawned softly, "…Birthday, Twilight Sparkle."

She was completely worn out, she was out of her element when sitting out in broad daylight like this. Her sleep schedule might just be jeopardized by what her sister had planned for the next month. Why in Equestria would she have to live outside of the castle for a month you might ask? Because according to her sister, she spends far too much time cooped up in her room with books when she needs to be socializing.

"Nightmare moon!" Pinkie Pie let out a loud shout before diving under the table. Her flank was exposed still, kind of defeating the purpose of hiding.

"Fer' Celestia's sake, I thought we've done been o'er this," Applejack grumbled as she bit the earth pony's tail, pulling her out by it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you again," Luna said as she approached the pink party pony.

"Naw, I was just playing!" Pinkie Pie said as she quickly sat up, recovering immediately from her façade with a large smile spread across her face.

"Oh…" Luna paused for a moment, unsure of what to make of it.

Celestia walked over to Twilight and gave her an affectionate nuzzle to the cheek. Twilight blushed gently, but nuzzled her teacher back. Celestia usually acted a lot less like nobility on Twilight's birthday for some reason and more like a mother. The only thing she could figure is that Celestia wants to be less important than her favorite student on her birthday.

"Oh right, I'd hate to steal some of your thunder, but Luna and I have an announcement," Celestia said with a playful grin, "Luna decided that she's going to live down here for a month or so."

"Wait, why?" Rarity asked. The news of royalty living in Ponyville sparked her curiosity, as it was sure to spark the curiosity of every other pony.

"Well, Tia thinks we have spent far too much time in our room. So, she thinks that we… I should come and live amongst the citizens of Ponyville so I can acquire knowledge of how society works now." Luna said with a solemn grimace on her face.

"Oh please, it won't be thaaaaaat bad." Celestia said with a sarcastic eye roll.

You can definitely tell they're siblings by the way they talk to one another. Celestia definitely acts like an older sister that enjoys picking on her little sister. Luna appears as the little sister that tries to stand up to her older siblings and fails.

"Where is she going to stay, though?" Rarity prodded for more information.

"Well, we actually don't have a home constructed yet, so…" Luna was cut off by Twilight who seems more than happy about the situation.

"She can stay with me!" She said with a broad smile on her face, seeming pretty hopeful.

Luna looked a little worried, "We'd hate to impose, though…"

"Oh, it's no problem!" Twilight said almost immediately, excited and interested to actually be able to spend time with her teacher's sister.

"Well, if you insist, we guess we can stay with you for a little while," Luna said with a smile forming on her face.

"See, you're making friends already." Celestia said with a teasing smile to her little sister.

"Shut up," Luna pouted at her sister.

"Come on everypony, all of this talk is SOOOOO boring! I say we should actually get down and party!" Pinkie shouted over everypony, turning the music on max volume before anypony can answer.

.........................................

"…And that's how I became princess!" Celestia said with a giggle. She just ranted for half an hour about random stories (most of which didn't even pertain to her), which all added up to how she became the monarch of Equestria.

"I don't think her majesty can hold her alcohol," Applejack whispered quietly to Rainbow Dash.

"I know, it's like she's a totally different pony," R.D. said with a laugh.

"Sister, you're drunk!" Luna said to Gummy, obviously being not that strong of a drinker either.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack just looked at eachother before bursting out into laughter. This was definitely a hilarious party in comparison to usual, neither of the princesses could even remotely hold their liquor. The thing is, they only drank beer too and were completely smashed from such a light drink. Honestly, Applejack was drinking shots of vodka and wasn't even close to how drunk they were.

Twilight was huddled up in a corner, her cheeks were flushed with embarrassment from Celestia's personality. She never had the ability to drink, even the weakest liquor would send her over the edge. Granted, she did find it more amusing than embarrassing when she was younger.

"Oh wow, she's really drunk isn't she?" Pinkie Pie said in a strangely calm voice. Alcohol actually made her less energetic and silly, which is probably a good thing at a time like this. Twilight doubted any drunk pony could handle Pinkie's unnatural fountain of perpetual energy.

"Celestia! Stop biting me!" Luna screamed as she ran around the barn, having Gummy cling to her tail by his bite. "She won't stop! Make her stop!"

"Oh darling, that tail pin looks great on you!" Rarity said with joyous awe. Before the princess's appeared, Rarity was the weakest drinker of the group. She obviously had a bit too much herself as well.

Fluttershy smiled sweetly, quietly giggling to herself as Luna ran across the room like a chicken with its head cut off. That pegasus was a scary drinker when she actually drinks. She even managed to out drink Big Macintosh before. Of course she usually dislikes drinking and avoids alcohol at parties, though.

"So, who wants to hear another story?!" Celestia asks with a creepy smile and an overly energetic voice.

"Oh god, no!" Rainbow Dash and Applejack both shouted at the princess, fearing listening to another story of how her butler's blister was popped and how it had gotten in the food.

"Okay, so this is how it happened…" She began rambling on with her story, despite R.D. and Applejack's cries of fear.

"Please don't remind me!" Twilight shouted in disgust, remembering that all too well from personal experience.

"Tia, get off of me!" Luna screamed again, having Gummy bite onto her mane now.

"Gummy, please get off of her," Fluttershy whispered quietly, but her pleas were overshadowed by everypony else's shouts.

...

At Twilight Sparkle's House:

Twilight was still trying to hold back her laughs from the drunken princess as she laid her down in bed. She passed out halfway home, causing Twilight to have to carry her home. The party was a lot of fun otherwise, at least in Twilight's opinion.

"Good night, Princess. I shall not envy the headache you'll have in a few hours." Twilight said as she walked out of the spare bedroom, towards her own.

She was looking forward to the next few weeks; they were definitely going to be the most interesting time she's had in a long time.
