~The Star Of Luna's Night~

~{Part 5: To The Train!}~

"Luna~ It's time to get up!" The mentioned pony winced as a loud voice pierced both her blanket and sensitive ears. She let out a loud grunt in frustration and covered herself up more snugly.

"I made breakfast~!"

Another grunt was the reply. But it did little help as the warm blanket was magically yanked from her grasp. The giant window bathed Luna in light that wasn't nearly as soothing the morning before.

"Okay! Okay! I'm coming!" Luna huffed and nearly fell out of bed as she attempted to stand. A short but slow trip down the stairs found her sitting at the center table. A plate of toast and apple slices greeted her shortly after she sat along with Twilight.

"Thank you." Luna spoke and then immediately took a bite. Twilight waited a moment and took an apple slice for herself.

"We have to hurry if we want to make it to the train station on time. I still have some things to do before we leave!"

"Very well, but I think it would be best that we leave before the sun falls, the trains will wait for us but my sister won't. You of all ponies should know how hard it is to wake her!" The two giggled and shared another slice.

"I know, we just have to go make sure Spike is okay."

"Will he be coming with us?"

"I'm not sure... I don't know want to leave him with Rarity, she's already had to look after him since you came into town... But I don't know how he'd work out on his own..."

"Maybe we should talk about it on our way there?"

"Yeah..." Twilight gave a small smile and lightly kissed Luna's cheek. She then carried the empty plates to the kitchen while also closing all the curtains.

After checking the rest of the house, Twilight nodded and joined Luna's side outside the front door. The two smiled again and made their way into town...

Carousel Boutique...

Knock, Knock

"Spiiike darling, could you please get that?" A sing song voice rang through the front door, followed by a quick patter of feet.

The door swung open and revealed the little dragon Twilight was looking for.

"Hey Twilight! and uh... Princess." Spike bowed his head and let the two in.

"Where's Rarity?"

"Upstairs working on this giant dress. Like, it's literally giant, I don't know who she expects to wear it!"

Twilight and Luna shared a confused glance but both shrugged off their curiosity.

"Okay then, well I was just stopping by to tell you that I'll be gone for a little while."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm going to going back to Canterlot with Princess Luna, so I'll be gone for a few days. We thought you coul-"

"Canterlot?!" A white blur zoomed into the room and stopped less than a millimeter away from Twilight's nose. Her newly adjusted vision showed two bright blue eyes staring into her own. A giant smile sat underneath them.

"I would love to go with you to Canterlot! It's been sooo long since I've been able to mingle with the elite!"

"Wait, Rarity I-"

"I'll have to contact Fancy Pants, get my casual dresses ready... oh! I can show off my new line of hats too!"

Twilight was about to interrupt the now babbling unicorn, but a tap on the side halted her.

"It can't hurt to bring her along too. That would make it easy looking after Spike!" Luna whispered.

Twilight simply nodded and walked over to Rarity who had already packed a full suitcase and was working on a second.

"Alright Rarity, you can come with us. But there's one thing."

"What's that darling? I'll do anything?"

"You have to watch Spike while we're there."

"Oh... Are you sure? I don't know if Upper Canterlot parties are suited for young dragons."

"Well, it'll have to do this time. The Princess and I are going to be extremely busy at the castle while we're there."

Rarity thought for a moment and rested a hoof on Twilight shoulder.

"Well... Alright, you can count on me darling!"

"Okay then, we'll be leaving in twenty minutes!"

Author's Note

I am SO tired right now that I'm just going to straight up say that this is the first half of Part 5. I'll write up Part 5.5 soon but I felt really bad for not updating in FOREVER so I've decided to post this. I hope you enjoyed this and I sincerely hope it'll tide you over while I work on the story more!
