Luna's Lament

Princess Luna stood on the balcony outside her bedroom. It was dusk, and she was about to raise the moon. But she didn't want to. She just wanted one FULL day of night. Or at least something. Everypony always basked and played in Celestia's day, but always slept and ignored her night. She was never hardly paid any attention to. They always looked at her perfect sister, never at her. They never were grateful for her night.

"Luna, is something bothering you?" said a voice. Luna whipped around to see her sister, Princess Celestia, standing in the balcony doorway. "No, dear sister, nothing is bothering me at all," Luna's voice trailed off. She lied. Something was bothering her. Something Celestia would never understand. "Are you sure, Luna? You can tell me about it," Celestia said. "No, nothing is bothering me!" Luna screamed in anger. Celestia would never understand.

Celestia had a look of surprise on her face. Luna almost never screamed, so this was unlike her. Celestia decided to change the topic. She didn't want to start a feud with Luna. "Oh, I'm sorry for yelling," Luna apologized. "It is quite ok, Luna," said Celestia. "Do you want help raising the moon?" asked Celestia. "No, sister, I do not. Tonight, I want to be left alone." sighed Luna.

Celestia watched as Luna flew into the sky and raised the moon. It really was a beautiful sight. Celestia quickly slipped away when Luna came back. But Luna was not ready to go to sleep.
